High-Density Output Control for Distributed I/O Systems
The Siemens 6ES7132-6BH00-2BA0 digital output module provides 16 channels for the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system. This module drives actuators, contactors, and indicator lamps with 24V DC output signals. Each channel delivers 0.5A output current with integrated short-circuit and overcurrent protection. The module supports a total output current of 8A across all channels. It features LED indicators for each output, displaying real-time status for quick diagnostics. Moreover, the module includes configurable output behavior during CPU stop for fail-safe operation. It also supports tool-free wiring through the ET 200SP base unit design.
