The Siemens 3SF5813-0DC00 is an AS-Interface enclosure-mount slave combining a pushbutton actuator and an indicator light in a single IP65-rated unit. It's configured as an A/B slave with 4 inputs and 3 outputs, meaning it can both read a button press and drive a status lamp on the same AS-i bus node — a common arrangement for local operator stations on conveyor lines or packaging machinery where you need one device for both command and feedback.
Form factor and mounting
The enclosure measures 64 mm deep, 85 mm wide, and 154 mm high, with a rectangular front shape and a 22 mm mounting diameter for the actuator opening. The housing is plastic, rated IP65, so it handles washdown in food-and-bev or light industrial environments. Mounting is vertical, floor-mounted per the AS-i slave specification — plan for gland-plate clearance on the bottom entry.
Operator interface details
The actuating element is a pushbutton/indicator light combo with a black front ring and a three-color actuator cap (black/white/clear). The integrated LED socket takes one lamp holder; the label is black with three labels included. There is no positive opening, no emergency stop or emergency off function — this is a standard command device, not a safety-rated stop. The unlocking type is without, so it's a momentary pushbutton, not a twist-to-release.
