8 outputs, 0.5 A per channel, SIL 3 rated
The Siemens 6ES7136-6DC00-0CA0 is an ET 200SP digital output module with 8 transistor outputs, each rated 0.5 A max (note the derating data in the manual).
Current derating and thermal budget
The total module current is capped at 3 A, with per-channel limits dropping from 0.5 A at 40 °C to 2 A module total at 50 °C and 60 °C. That means if you pack all 8 channels near the limit in a warm cabinet, the sum must stay under 2 A — a real constraint for grouping high-duty solenoids or valve banks on one slice.
Diagnostics and integration
Diagnostics are per-channel (red LED) plus a module DIAG LED (green/red). The module fits BU type A0 base units, auto-encodes on the backplane, and supports firmware update. Power loss is 3 W typ., and the 15 mm width packs tightly on a DIN rail.
