32 channels, 0.5 A per output — the channel count drives the backplane budget
The Siemens 6ES7132-0BL00-0XB0 is an ET 200B-32 DA expansion module delivering 32 digital outputs rated at 0.5 A each. That is 16 A total if every channel pulls full load, so the backplane supply and the 24 VDC field power rail need to budget for the worst-case draw — not just the per-point rating.
