Siemens SIMATIC S5 8-Channel Analog Output Module

Description

The 6ES5470-4UC12 is an analog output module for the legacy Siemens SIMATIC S5 automation platform. It provides eight high-precision, floating analog outputs, making it ideal for controlling actuators like proportional valves, drives, or indicators. This module is specifically designed for use with the S5-135U and S5-155U central processing units. As a vital spare part for obsolete systems, it allows for maintenance and repair, extending the life of existing production lines. Order now from PLC2Day for expert support and fast delivery.

Application

This module is used in various industrial automation applications requiring precise analog control, such as process control in chemical plants, manufacturing lines, and material handling systems where legacy S5 PLCs are still in operation.

Country of Origin

Made in Germany.

CO2 Impact

Choosing this reused component over a new one avoids the production of a new part, saving an estimated 24 kg of CO2. This is comparable to the emissions from a 120 km car journey.

Availability

This item is in stock and ready for immediate dispatch. It is an obsolete product, but available as a spare part to support existing installations.

FAQ

No, the 6ES5470-4UC12 is specifically designed for the larger S5-135U, S5-155U, and S5-150U central processing units. It uses the U-bus of these systems and will not fit or function in an S5-115U rack.

The module has a resolution of 12 bits plus a sign bit for voltage outputs, which corresponds to 4096 steps. For current outputs, the resolution is 11 bits, corresponding to 2048 steps. This provides precise control for analog actuators.

Yes, the module draws its 5V DC power for logic from the S5 backplane bus. However, it requires an external 24V DC power supply to power the analog output stages. This must be connected to the terminals on the module's front connector.
