6ES7132-6HD01-0BB1 Siemens SIMATIC ET 200SP Relay Output Module 4 Output Channels

1.Overview of the 6ES7132-6HD01-0BB1 Siemens

The Siemens 6ES7132-6HD01-0BB1 is a 4-channel relay output module for the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system. Its core function is to receive signals from a higher-level controller (such as a PLC) and drive field devices requiring high power or high voltage, such as contactors, valves, indicator lights, or small motors. With its high flexibility and reliability, this module is a key component for connecting the control system and actuator layers in factory automation and process control.

Powerful Load Driving Capability

Each output channel utilizes a relay (normally open) contact output, capable of directly controlling load voltages up to 230V AC or 120V DC.

With a maximum switching current of 5A per channel, the module can deliver a total output current of 20A, sufficient to drive a wide range of industrial equipment.

Comprehensive Electrical Isolation and Safety Design

The module provides comprehensive potential isolation: not only between individual output channels, but also between the channels and the backplane bus, and between the channels and the power supply voltage. This effectively prevents interference and potential differences from damaging the system, enhancing system stability and safety. An insulation test voltage of up to 2500 V DC ensures long-term, reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

Integrated Diagnostics and Maintenance Functions

The module is equipped with comprehensive diagnostic functions, including supply voltage monitoring and the ability to generate diagnostic alarms.

The PWR (power) and DIAG (diagnostics) LEDs provide quick identification of module operating status and fault conditions, greatly simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

Flexible Modular Design

As part of the ET 200SP system, this module supports hot swapping (replacement during operation) and features auto-coding technology to prevent incorrect insertion.

It requires a B0 or ​​B1 base unit to accommodate various wiring configurations (e.g., two-wire or three-wire connections).

High Reliability and Long Life

The relay's mechanical lifespan is rated at up to 7 million operating cycles, ensuring long-term durability.

The module can operate stably in a wide ambient temperature range of -30°C to +60°C and can be installed at an altitude of 2000 meters, adapting to harsh industrial environments.

Core Features
Four 5A relay outputs with a wide AC/DC range can directly drive high-current loads such as solenoid valves, contactors, heaters, and alarm lights.
Channels are 500V isolated from the backplane bus, enabling mixed switching of loads with different voltage levels and simplifying cabinet wiring.
Built-in module-level diagnostics allow quick location of power loss and relay faults via LEDs and process alarms.
No parameterization is required; upon insertion into the base, the module is automatically recognized as a 4-bit output. Redundant systems and fail-safe configurations are supported.
The ultra-thin 20mm design shares the station bus with the full range of ET 200SP modules, facilitating distributed I/O expansion.
