Features:
- Drives larger loads directly; parallel switching for up to 1.5A; 10 μA residual current for high‑impedance loads.
- 500V AC isolation test; protects CPU from field wiring faults; reduces ground loops.
- 45 mm wide, 150 g; plug‑in I/O terminals; operates up to 55°C; compatible with all S7-200 CPUs.
The 6ES7222-1BF22-0XA0 provides 8 digital output channels, each rated at 0.75A at 24V DC. This is significantly higher than the 0.5A outputs found on many compact PLCs. The higher current rating allows direct connection of small solenoids, relay coils, and indicator lights without external interposing relays. For loads requiring more than 0.75A, the module supports parallel switching of two outputs for uprating. By connecting two outputs in parallel to the same load (and switching them simultaneously), the available current doubles to 1.5A. This is useful for controlling small motors or larger contactor coils.
The 6ES7222-1BF22-0XA0 uses optocouplers to provide electrical isolation between the S7-200 backplane bus and the output circuits. The isolation is tested at 500V AC. This isolation serves two critical purposes. First, it protects the CPU and backplane from voltage spikes originating on the field side – for example, from inductive kickback when a solenoid de‑energizes, or from a short circuit between a field cable and a power line. Second, it prevents ground loops when field devices are connected to different power supplies. The 8 outputs are isolated in two groups of 4 channels each (channels 0‑3 and channels 4‑7). Outputs within the same group share a common reference (typically the M terminal).
The 6ES7222-1BF22-0XA0 is designed for the SIMATIC S7-200 platform, one of Siemens’ most successful small PLC families. The module measures just 45 mm wide, 80 mm high, and 62 mm deep, weighing only 150 g. This compact size allows it to fit into tight control cabinets alongside the CPU and other expansion modules. The module uses plug‑in I/O terminals (screw‑type, included with the module). The plug‑in design allows the terminal block to be removed from the module while leaving field wiring connected – useful when replacing a faulty module without rewiring.
The 6ES7222-1BF22-0XA0 SIEMENS Digital Output Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).
