The Siemens 6ES7407-0KA00-0AA0 is a SIMATIC S7-400 PS 407 power supply delivering 10A at 5V DC from a 120/230V AC input. It powers the S7-400 rack and its modules — backplane current for the CPU, I/O, and communication processors. The 10A rating at 5V DC is the headline number: it determines how many expansion modules the supply can support before you need a second unit or a load-sharing configuration.
Integration note
The PS 407 snaps into the S7-400 rack — no DIN-rail mount needed. The AC input terminals accept 120/230V AC; the DC output is a fixed 5V/10A rail shared across the backplane. When populating the rack, sum the 5V current draw of every module (CPU, IM, SM, FM, CP) and keep it under 10A. Exceed that and the supply folds back or the rack browns out. A common field mistake is loading the rack to 9.8A and then adding a CP that draws another 0.5A — that trips the internal current limit.
