The Siemens 6ES5458-4UA13 is a high-quality Digital Output Module, designed to be a part of the renowned Simatic S5 family of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This module is equipped with 16 outputs, each capable of handling a current of 0.5 A at a voltage of 60 V dc.
One of the key features of this part is its solid-state relays, which replace the electro-mechanical relays found in previous versions. This change enhances the durability and reliability of the module, making it a robust choice for industrial automation systems.
The 6ES5458-4UA13 also integrates the RC element function, eliminating the need for a separate RC element module. This integration simplifies the system design and reduces the overall system complexity.
Please note that this module requires specific measures for inductive loads as described in the system manual for external quenching.
In summary, the Siemens 6ES5458-4UA13 Digital Output Module is a reliable and efficient component, designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial automation systems.
