Product Description

The Output Module (OM) forms the interface between the control system’s internal logic and the external actuators (like valves, contactors, motors, lamps, etc.). It receives a digital command from the CCM and, based on the control program, switches or modulates a voltage or current to drive the connected field devices. For analog control, the module converts the digital value into a corresponding analog voltage or current signal.

Product Parameters

Output Modules are primarily classified by the type of signal they generate:

Product Advantages

• High Switching Reliability: Utilizes robust electronic components (transistors) for high-speed, frequent switching operations, ensuring a long operational lifespan compared to mechanical components.

• Integrated Protection: Includes built-in protection features against short circuits and overloads, safeguarding the module and simplifying system design.

• Effective Diagnostics: Offers comprehensive diagnostic capabilities (e.g., status LEDs, channel-specific fault reporting) to rapidly identify failures in the output wiring or the connected actuator.

• Load Versatility: Digital modules offer different switching principles (Transistor, Relay) to handle various load types (inductive, resistive) and voltage levels (AC or DC).

• Precise Control: Analog output modules provide high resolution (e.g., 16 bits) and fast conversion times for highly precise and dynamic control of actuators.

• System Consistency: Fully integrated into the SIEMENS automation framework, allowing for consistent data representation and engineering across the control architecture.

Important Notes

• Maximum Current: Never exceed the specified maximum current per channel or the maximum total current for the module, as this can cause overheating and failure.

• Load Type: When switching inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, contactors), ensure that appropriate external suppression circuitry (e.g., flyback diodes or RC snubbers) is used to protect the module’s switching elements from voltage transients.

• Switching Frequency: For transistor-based outputs, pay attention to the maximum permissible switching frequency if operating at high speeds.

• Wiring Verification: Double-check the wiring to ensure correct voltage polarity and connection to the correct terminals (load common potential, etc.).

• Functional Safety: If using Fail-Safe Output Modules (F-DO), strictly adhere to the safety manuals and standards (e.g., IEC 61508/62061, ISO 13849) for both configuration and wiring.

Product Applications

Output Modules are essential for controlling all aspects of a physical process:

• Machine Actuation: Controlling solenoids, pneumatic valves, hydraulic valves, indicator lamps, and acoustic alarms on automated machinery.

• Motor Control: Driving motor contactors and controlling Variable Speed Drives (VSDs/VFDs).

• Process Flow Control: Modulating control valves, dampers, and pumps using analog signals for continuous process regulation (e.g., temperature control, flow regulation).

• Display and Indication: Actuating operator panel lights and signal towers to display machine status and warnings.

• Safety Shut-down: Utilizing fail-safe outputs to safely de-energize actuators in response to safety-related events (e.g., emergency stops).
