Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Multi-Processor Industrial Architecture Coordination: The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 is explicitly utilized in advanced multi-processing configurations within SIMATIC S5-135U and S5-155U systems. Installed inside the 150K Central Controller chassis, it is deployed alongside co-processors (such as dedicated I/O or communication processors) to share complex computational loads. This makes it ideal for large-scale automation frameworks that require parallel logic execution paths without mutual cycle-time degradation.
  • Heavy Manufacturing Process Control & Interlocking: This CPU module is widely found in legacy automotive press lines, heavy steel rolling mills, and complex rubber/plastic extrusion systems. In these environments, the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 handles highly synchronized bit-logic interlocks and word-processing commands, executing pre-compiled STEP 5 code with deterministic logic scanning to ensure absolute mechanical synchronization across segmented high-speed machinery.
  • Continuous-Flow Utility & Power Infrastructure: Due to its robust integration with S5 parallel backplane communication, the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 is heavily relied upon in power plants, large-scale water treatment facilities, and batch chemical processing plants. It manages multiple closed-loop PID control signals through its interrupt-driven logic blocks (OBs), preventing runtime latencies that could compromise process stability or active safety parameters.
  • Legacy Capital Asset Life Extension (Reactive Maintenance): As a direct hardware replacement for earlier hardware revisions, the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 serves as a vital lifecycle continuity asset. It is deployed on aging factory floors where total system migration to modern S7 architectures is restricted by high software recertification costs, allowing plants to sustain existing operational logic while minimizing unplanned engineering validation overhead.
  • Industrial Standard Thermal Compliance (0°C to +60°C): The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 is engineered for continuous indoor cabinet operation within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to +60°C. It relies on the standard forced-convection vertical airflow provided by the standard S5 cooling fan sub-assemblies mounted at the base of the central rack, making it vital to ensure ventilation is unblocked during factory floor operation.
  • Non-Condensing Relative Humidity Limits (5% to 95%): Operating safely under relative humidity levels spanning from 5% to 95% (strictly non-condensing), the module’s multi-layer PCB design accommodates standard factory-floor atmospheric variations. However, because it originates from the late S5 generation without contemporary conformal coating, air filtration systems must be used within the cabinet to prevent humidity from bonding with conductive dust particles.
  • Vibration and Shock Isolation Requirements: Built according to historic European automation standards (DIN/IEC frameworks), the mechanical chassis and pin contacts of the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 withstand low-amplitude cabinet vibrations. For high-impact machine environments (such as near industrial stamping machines or acoustic vibration sources), the host S5 rack must be mounted on vibration-isolating shock dampeners to ensure the structural integrity of the backplane connections.
  • Extended Storage and Logistics Preservation (-25°C to +70°C): For long-term warehousing and global transport, the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 is rated to withstand inactive thermal storage from -25°C to +70°C. When stored as an inventory spare, it must be kept inside antistatic ESD shielding and a moisture-controlled environment to protect its internal volatile work memory sub-circuits and gold-plated backplane logic pins from long-term oxidative stress.
  • Native STEP 5 Instruction Set Portability: The core operating firmware embedded within the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 executes the classic STEP 5 programming language natively, translating Statement List (STL), Ladder Diagram (LAD), and Control System Flowchart (CSF) instructions. The firmware requires no code conversion layers or compilation adjustments when upgrading older CPU hardware revisions, facilitating absolute drop-in program execution.
  • External EPROM/EEPROM Cartridge Sub-Module Pairing: Because the base hardware architecture of the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 does not possess non-volatile user program storage, its firmware boot-sequence is tightly dependent on external memory sub-modules. The user program must be burned onto a matched 32 KB EPROM or EEPROM cartridge inserted into the front panel sub-module slot, enabling the firmware to read and execute the program block structure reliably upon power restoration.
  • Hardware Revision (E-Stand) 02 Interoperability: The operating system logic within Hardware Version 02 (E-Stand 02) of the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 features updated internal address mapping. This revision resolves previous backplane bus timing inconsistencies found in earlier CPU generations, allowing for seamless synchronization with standard S5 communication modules (such as CP 1430 TF for Ethernet) without triggering backplane timeout faults (QVZ).
  • Diagnostic LED Fault Interrogation and Memory Resetting (URLÖSCHEN)The integrated firmware on the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 controls the behavior of the front-facing RUN and STOP LEDs to display real-time internal status. During system fault trips (such as runtime stack overflows or addressing errors), the firmware drops the module into an active STOP state and forces a flashing red pattern, indicating a requirement for a physical overall memory reset sequence (URLÖSCHEN) via the front toggle switch before fresh code can be initialized.
Description
The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 serves as a core industrial computing backbone, meticulously engineered to sustain the operational lifespans of legacy SIMATIC S5 frameworks. Designed specifically for insertion into the specialized 150K Central Controller (Zentralgerät 150K) chassis, this module plays a paramount role in executing highly structured STEP 5 machine logic. It effectively bridges the gap for processing lines where complete system migration is restricted by cost or intensive recertification barriers.

Integrating a Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 module into an existing rack allows system integrators to leverage its native backplane synchronization features. The unit is built to manage simultaneous data traffic across the S5 parallel system bus, providing reliable cyclic program scanning and bit-instruction execution for complicated assembly lines, material handling setups, and infrastructure utilities. Its deterministic response times ensure that machine interlocks remain perfectly timed.

As a mission-critical field replaceable unit (FRU), the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 minimizes expensive plant downtime during reactive maintenance scenarios. It completely bypasses the need for intensive software re-engineering or physical wiring overhauls by maintaining absolute drop-in compatibility with legacy components. It is the definitive choice for plant engineers looking to preserve established control loops while securing high hardware continuity.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
What firmware or software tools are required to configure and clear faults on the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 CPU?
The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 is programmed and diagnosed using the classic STEP 5 software package (running under DOS or specialized field programmers like PG 740) via the integrated 20mA TTY front interface port. No modern TIA Portal or STEP 7 tools support this module. Hardware parameters are set via code logic blocks (OBs/DBs) rather than a graphical hardware configuration interface.
How does the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 handle internal memory preservation during unexpected power grid dropouts?
The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 relies on the 3.6V Lithium backplane backup battery located within the S5-135U/155U central controller power supply module to keep its 64 KB internal volatile RAM alive. If the rack battery drains while the main power is cut, the RAM contents are lost. For permanent program safety, the user program must be burnt onto an external 32 KB EPROM memory sub-module.
Can the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 interface with modern industrial Ethernet networks or third-party Modbus TCP systems?
The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 does not possess native Ethernet or fieldbus communications onboard. To integrate the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 with modern Ethernet or Modbus protocols, you must expand the rack by adding a CP 1430 TF (for Industrial Ethernet) or utilize third-party protocol converters (such as ProSoft or Anybus S5 gateway modules) connected via the S5 backplane bus.
In what specific industrial scenarios is the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 typically deployed, and what are its environmental boundaries?
The Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 is widely found in heavy industrial plants such as steel rolling mills, automobile press lines, power plants, and chemical batch systems running on older S5 architectures. It must operate strictly within a 0°C to +60°C temperature range and requires a clean, vibration-free, well-ventilated control cabinet to protect the vintage solder traces from dust and thermal stress.
What do the front LEDs on the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 indicate during an emergency plant trip scenario?
The front panel of the Siemens 6ES5927-3KA13 features critical diagnostic indicators including RUN (Green) and STOP (Red) LEDs. A solid red STOP LED combined with a flashing red indicates a software error (e.g., QVZ - time timeout, or STUEB - stack overflow), while a flashing STOP LED alone usually indicates that the CPU is requesting a complete memory reset (Overall Reset / URLOSCHEN) before it can transition back to RUN mode.
