Features:
- 8 voltage (±10 V) and 8 current (0‑20 mA) outputs simultaneously.
- Outputs isolated from reference potential Mext, M, and L+/L‑; tested at 500 V AC.
- ≤5 ms settling time to 99%, short‑circuit and no‑load proof, 25% overrange capability.
The 6ES5470-4UC12 delivers 8 voltage outputs in the ±10 V range and 8 current outputs in the 0‑20 mA range simultaneously from a single slot. This density is exceptional for SIMATIC S5 systems, where analog output modules typically offer 4 or 8 channels of a single type. By combining both voltage and current outputs on one card, the 6ES5470-4UC12 eliminates the need for separate modules for valve control (current) and actuator positioning (voltage). This saves rack space, reduces power supply wiring, and lowers system cost. Each output is no‑load and short‑circuit‑proof, so accidental miswiring will not destroy the module.
The 6ES5470-4UC12 provides galvanic isolation between all eight outputs and the external reference potential (Mext), as well as from the internal M and L+/L‑ supplies. This prevents ground loops and protects the backplane and CPU from voltage spikes originating on field cables. The module is tested at 500 V AC between outputs and housing according to VDE 0160. Isolation is critical when outputs are connected to different power sources or when long cable runs pick up industrial noise.
The 6ES5470-4UC12 achieves a delay of ≤5 ms from data transfer to the analog output reaching 99% of its final value. This makes it suitable for closed‑loop control applications such as speed regulation or valve positioning, where rapid updates are required. Additionally, the module offers a permissible overrange of approximately 25%, meaning the digital value can go from ±1024 up to ±1272 units, providing extra control headroom beyond the nominal range without saturating the output. Fault current on voltage outputs is limited to about 25 mA, preventing damage even if shorted.
The 6ES5470-4UC12 Siemens Analog Modules may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
