Product details

The Siemens 6ES7138-6CG00-0BA0 is an ET 200SP digital I/O module designed for SIMATIC S7-1500 distributed systems. It mounts onto a BaseUnit type A0 and communicates via the backplane bus. The module provides 26 input bytes and 32 output bytes, with isochronous mode support for deterministic cycle times. Operates at 24 V DC with tolerance L+ (-0.8 V). The module width is 15 mm.

The module includes three counters and one PWM output, with a maximum jitter of 1 µs when using High Speed output. The counter inputs can handle 24 V pulse encoders and 2-wire sensors; signal threshold for “1” is +11 to +30 V, “0” is -5 to +5 V. This makes it a fit for high-speed counting or frequency measurement without a separate counter module. Outputs are parameterizable as standard or high speed, with rise/fall times as fast as 1 µs in high-speed mode. The module sinks or sources current (selectable) and includes short-circuit protection. Total power dissipation is 1.5 W typical, so panel cooling is not a concern even in a densely populated rack.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 24V specification on this module?

The module is rated 24 V DC with a tolerance of L+ (-0.8 V). That means the supply can drop up to 0.8 V below the nominal 24 V without affecting operation — useful for long cable runs.

What is the depth of 6ES7138-6CG00-0BA0?

The module depth is 58 mm. Width is 15 mm and height is 73 mm. It fits standard ET 200SP enclosures and DIN-rail layouts.

Can this module replace 6AG1123-2DB03-2AX0 without rewiring?

No. The 6AG1123-2DB03-2AX0 is a SIPLUS variant for harsh environments (extended temperature, coating) and uses a different BaseUnit type. Wiring may differ; check the specific application requirements before substituting.
