SIMATIC S7-1500 Analog Output Module AQ4
The Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 AQ 4xU/I ST (6ES7532-5HD00-0AB0) is a standard (ST) analog output module for the SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC and ET 200MP distributed I/O systems. It’s used to convert digital values from the PLC into analog signals (voltage or current) to control field devices like variable speed drives, proportional valves, or servo motors.
Features and Technical Data:
- Outputs: This module has 4 analog outputs that can be configured for either voltage or current signals. They are arranged in a single group of four.
- Signal Ranges:
- Voltage: 0 to 10 V, 1 to 5 V, and -10 to +10 V.
- Current: 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, and -20 to +20 mA.
- Resolution: It offers a high 16-bit resolution, which provides very fine control over the output signal. The accuracy is specified as 0.3%.
- Power: It operates on a 24 V DC power supply and has a typical power loss of 4 W.
- Physical Characteristics: It requires a separate front connector (available in screw or push-in versions) for wiring.
