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).

Description
The 6ES5470-4UC12 provides eight voltage outputs (±10 V range) and eight current outputs (0‑20 mA range) simultaneously. It is designed for SIMATIC S5 programmable controllers. The module offers 12‑bit two's complement representation, linearity of ±2 LSB, and operational error limits of ±0.6% from 0 to 60°C. Outputs are no‑load and short‑circuit‑proof.

When using the 6ES5470-4UC12, engineers benefit from full isolation between the eight outputs and the external reference potential Mext, as well as from M and L+/L‑. The delay between data transfer and analog value output reaching 99% is ≤5 ms.

The 6ES5470-4UC12 requires a 5 V ±5% supply (approx. 250 mA) from the system bus for its digital section, plus a 24 V load voltage (200‑400 mA) for the analog section. An additional 24 V enabling supply (approx. 7 mA) is needed for F+/F‑.

For legacy S5 systems requiring analog control of drives, valves, or actuators, the 6ES5470-4UC12 delivers reliable performance. Its permissible overrange of approximately 25% (±1024 to ±1272 units) provides extra headroom.

Technical notes
The 6ES5470-4UC12 provides 8 voltage and 8 current outputs on a single module, but the output ranges differ: ±10 V is scaled for ±1024 units, while 0‑20 mA is scaled for 0‑1024 units – not the same digital value mapping.The delay between data transfer and analog output reaching 99% of final value is ≤5 ms.
