Siemens 6ES5930-7AA12 Power Supply

The 6ES5930-7AA12 supplies regulated DC power to SIMATIC S5 rack systems. This module converts 230V AC input into stable 5V and 24V outputs. Its rectangular frame measures 232 millimeters in width. The module height reaches 210 millimeters exactly. Depth stays at 155 millimeters. You will find this unit weighs approximately 2.05 kilograms. Therefore, installation requires sliding the unit into a dedicated S5 rack slot. One front-accessible terminal block handles all input and output wiring.

Physical Layout and Connectors

The terminal block accepts wires up to 12 AWG gauge. Two screw terminals receive the AC input connection. Four more terminals deliver the regulated DC outputs. A green LED indicates power present on the module. A red LED lights up during overload or overvoltage conditions. Two guide rails secure the module firmly in the rack.

Internal Design and Energy Storage

The 6ES5930-7AA12 contains exactly 268 discrete components inside. A 12000 microfarad capacitor bank stores energy for output smoothing. This bank provides 30 milliseconds of hold-up after input power loss. The module uses a switching topology for high efficiency. Dual independent regulators generate the 5V and 24V outputs separately. Built-in overcurrent protection shuts down faulty outputs automatically.

Operational Performance

This power supply module plugs directly into a SIMATIC S5 rack. It delivers 5V DC at 15 amperes for logic circuits. Moreover, the unit provides 24V DC at 4 amperes for field devices. You can replace the module without shutting down the entire rack. The unit includes thermal protection against excessive internal temperatures. Two status LEDs provide clear visual indication for troubleshooting. Consequently, you achieve reliable power distribution for S5 systems. Siemens designed this supply for continuous industrial operation. Its convection cooling requires no external fan.

In summary, the 6ES5930-7AA12 delivers robust rack power. Use this module for S5 rack installations or upgrades. It ensures stable voltage for all connected I/O cards. Order this power supply module for your Siemens SIMATIC S5 system.
