Siemens 6ES5 482-7LA11 SIMATIC S5 Digital Input/Output 482 Module

The Siemens SIMATIC S5 6ES5 482-7LA11 combines 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs in one module. It accepts rated 24 V DC input signals and provides outputs rated at 0.5 A each.

Siemens documents 6ES5 482-7LA11 in the S5-115U Programmable Controller manual, section 15.2.6. Check the installed controller, rack and front connector against that manual before installation.

Both the 16 inputs and the 16 outputs of 6ES5 482-7LA11 are electrically isolated by optocouplers in groups of eight. Verify the group supply and field wiring against the Siemens terminal assignment.

The inputs and outputs of 6ES5 482-7LA11 are referenced under the same module start address. Siemens illustrates input bytes I 0 and I 1 together with output bytes Q 0 and Q 1 for a start address of 0.

Each output of 6ES5 482-7LA11 is rated at 0.5 A. For each output group, Siemens specifies 100% permissible current at 35 °C and 50% at 55 °C; verify the total group load during design.

Siemens permits defined output groups on 6ES5 482-7LA11 to be connected in parallel: 0–3, 4–7, 8–11 and 12–15. The manual limits parallel current to 0.8 times the rated value.

Specify the complete Siemens article number 6ES5 482-7LA11, required quantity, the installed S5-115U configuration, front connector and 24 V DC field I/O requirements. Confirm condition and availability with the supplier.
