Siemens 6ES7132-6BH01-2BA0 ET 200SP Digital Output Module

Product Overview

This digital output module offers eight high-current channels for the ET 200SP distributed I/O system. Each channel delivers 2 A of continuous current to drive demanding actuator loads. The module occupies a single base unit width of just 15 mm in the rack. It measures 73 mm in height and 58 mm in depth for compact cabinet layouts. The device weighs approximately 48 grams, which simplifies installation on crowded DIN rails. You can mount this module without tools using the standard push-in termination system.

The processor handles switching frequencies up to 100 Hz with resistive loads. It also supports inductive loads with appropriate external suppression circuits. This module provides comprehensive short-circuit protection across every single output channel. Its thermal overload function prevents damage during sustained overcurrent conditions. The device also offers channel-specific diagnostics through the system’s central monitoring software.

Key Features and Benefits

This high-current version handles larger solenoid valves and contactor coils directly. Its compact footprint leaves more space for additional modules in the station. The LED indicators show each channel’s switching state for rapid visual verification. You can replace the module online without interrupting other outputs in the system. The diagnostics function reduces downtime by pinpointing faulty circuits instantly.

Installation and Compatibility

You clip this module onto any ET 200SP base unit with a 15 mm width. The push-in terminals accept solid conductors up to 1.5 mm² without stripping tools. They also accommodate flexible wires with ferrules in the same size range. This module works with all ET 200SP CPU and interface options available today. Its P-switching design suits standard 24 V DC actuator circuits in most industries.

Typical Applications

Robotic workcells use this module to control gripper actuators and tool changers. Conveyor systems rely on its high current for driving brake solenoids and diverters. The module also serves packaging lines and automotive assembly stations.
