Siemens 6ES7132-6BH00-0BA0 Digital Output Module

Product Overview

This digital output module forms part of the ET 200SP distributed I/O system. It provides eight high-speed outputs with a total current of 2 A per channel. The module occupies a single width unit on the ET 200SP base unit. Its compact dimensions measure 15 mm in width, 73 mm in height, and 58 mm in depth. The device weighs approximately 45 grams, which makes it ideal for space-constrained cabinets. You can install this module without tools using the integrated push-in terminals. The module supports both resistive and inductive loads up to 2 A continuously.

This output module provides short-circuit protection and thermal overload shutdown on every channel. It also features channel-specific diagnostics for precise fault identification. The module offers electrical isolation between the load supply and the backplane bus. Each output includes an individual green LED for immediate status indication. You can replace the module during runtime without affecting other connected devices.

Key Features and Benefits

This module supports a wide operating temperature range from -30 °C to 60 °C. Its push-in termination technology reduces wiring time significantly during installation. The module delivers high output current per channel for demanding actuator applications. You can drive solenoid valves, contactors, and small motors directly without external relays. The integrated diagnostics report channel-specific faults to the PLC controller promptly. This capability minimizes downtime and speeds up the maintenance process.

Installation and Compatibility

You can mount this module directly onto any ET 200SP base unit. The push-in terminals accept solid conductors from 0.14 mm² to 1.5 mm². They also accept flexible conductors with ferrules within the same range. The module works seamlessly with all ET 200SP CPU and interface modules. It also supports the system’s built-in fail-safe and redundancy features. You can combine it with analog and communication modules in any configuration.

Typical Applications

Packaging machinery uses this module to control high-speed pneumatic actuators. Conveyor systems rely on it for driving diverter gates and stop cylinders. The module also serves robotic workcells and material handling equipment effectively.
