Siemens Simatic ET200 SP Digital output module, 16DO, 24VDC Part number 6ES7132-6BH00-0CA0

Product Overview

The Siemens SIMATIC ET 200SP digital output module (SKU 6ES7132-6BH00-0CA0) is a high-feature output module designed to deliver 16 digital outputs at 24 V DC (0.5 A each) with PNP (source) switching to the positive potential. It is engineered for distributed I/O systems and supports functional diagnostics, configurable parameters and compact mounting.

Key Features

• 16 digital output channels with 24 V DC supply and 0.5 A rated current per channel
• Source output (PNP) switching to positive potential (“+P”) for actuation of loads such as solenoid valves, contactors or indicator lights
• High-feature module including configurable diagnostics per channel (wire-break, short-circuit to L+ or ground) and substitute values support
• Compact width of 15 mm, designed for integration into ET 200SP BaseUnits; space-saving installation
• LED status indicators for each channel plus module diagnostics and power supply status for quick system overview
