Overview
The 6ES7148-6CB00-0AA0 is a Siemens SIMATIC DP ET 200ECO PN voltage distributor, part of the ET 200eco PN family, designed to distribute 24 V DC power to field devices in a compact IP67 enclosure. It features one 7/8" power input and four M12 outputs, rated for IP67 protection, making it suitable for direct machine-mount applications without an additional cabinet.
This voltage distributor acts as a local power distribution point for sensors and actuators in a PROFINET network. The single 7/8" connector brings in 24 V DC supply, which is then split to four M12 outlets, each capable of handling the full switching current of 7439 A per the IEEE 802.3 interface specification. The 3.5 W power consumption covers internal electronics; the actual load current depends on connected devices. The IP67 rating allows placement in washdown or dusty environments without a secondary enclosure.
Applications
Typical applications include distributed I/O cabinets on conveyor systems, packaging lines, and material handling equipment where 24 V DC power needs to be routed to multiple field devices close to the process. The IP67 rating suits food and beverage, automotive, and logistics environments.
Siemens has classified the 6ES7148-6CB00-0AA0 as phase-out, with an official discontinuation date of October 1, 2024. Buyers should plan for last-time buys or evaluate alternative voltage distribution solutions for new designs.
