6ES5451-8MA11 - Digital Output Module - SIEMENS
Input and output modules
The input and output modules are the interfaces to the sensors and actuators of a machine or an installation.
The implementation of the S5-115U PLC modules is facilitated by:
- quick assembly
- mechanical coding
- large labeling boxes
Discrete I / O modules
The available modules correspond to the voltage and current levels of your machine. It is therefore not necessary that you adapt the voltage level of your equipment to that of the PLC, it is the PLC S5-115U which adapts to your installation.
The connection of the discrete modules greatly facilitates the connection of external conductors:
- Cable connection by front connectors
- Two types of connection possible: by screw terminals or by clip lugs
Analog I / O modules
The processing of analog values becomes all the more important the more efficient the PLCs are. The analog input and output modules are therefore essential elements. Analog I / O modules are mainly used for control tasks such as level, temperature or speed control.
The analog input modules of the S5-115U system are of two types: with or without galvanic isolation. Measuring range adapters adapt the process signals to the input level. A measuring range adapter can process four analog channels.
Consequences :
- On a 16-channel module, it is possible to obtain four different measuring ranges.
- To modify the measuring ranges, simply change the adapter.
Three analog output modules cover the different voltage or current ranges.
Siemens is an international group of German origin specializing in high technology and present in the sectors of industry, energy and health. It was founded in 1847 by Werner von Siemens.
