Product details

The 6ES7138-4FA00-0AB0: Worst-case power draw is 4 W, which fits within the ET200S backplane budget for a standard mixed I/O station.

The diagnostics function and group error LED (red SF indicator) simplify fault isolation on the line — no need for extra status modules in the ET200S station.

DIN rail footprint and wiring

At 30 mm wide and 52 mm deep (excluding connector), the module takes up one standard ET200S slot. Panel cutout planning should account for the 81 mm height and the backplane bus connector that mates with adjacent modules. Output voltage type is L+ (-1.5 V) with electronic short-circuit protection triggering between 0.7 A and 1.8 A. There is no reverse polarity protection on the load side, so verify wiring before power-up. Input-to-backplane isolation is provided, but no isolation between channels or between channels and load voltage L+ — keep this in mind for grouping sensors from different power sources.

Frequently asked questions

What is the physical size of this module?

Width 30 mm, height 81 mm, depth 52 mm. It occupies one standard ET200S slot on the DIN rail.

Does this module have diagnostics?

Yes, it has a diagnostics function and a red SF (group error) LED. Status indicator LEDs per digital input are also provided.

How many inputs and outputs does it have?

It provides 8 digital inputs (or 4 two-channel) occupying 6 bytes of input data, and 2 fail-safe outputs using 4 bytes of output data.
