Product Name
Siemens 080-332-000-R Digital Output Module (Simatic S5 Series PLC I/O Expansion Unit)
Product Description
The 080-332-000-R is a robust digital output module designed for Siemens’ legacy Simatic S5 programmable logic controllers (PLCs), serving as an interface to control industrial actuators such as relays, solenoid valves, and indicator lights in manufacturing and automation systems. Its primary function is to convert digital control signals from the S5 PLC into electrical outputs that activate field devices, enabling automated processes in industries like automotive assembly, packaging, and material handling—for example, triggering a solenoid valve to release adhesive in a cardboard box sealing machine, ensuring precise application at a rate of 50 boxes per minute.
Featuring 8 independent digital output channels, the module operates at 24V DC, delivering a maximum current of 2A per channel (with a total module current limit of 8A) to drive a variety of low-voltage actuators. Each channel uses a solid-state relay (SSR) instead of mechanical contacts, offering longer operational life (MTBF ≥100,000 hours) and faster switching times (≤1ms) compared to electromechanical relays—critical for high-speed applications like sorting conveyor systems, where a 1ms delay in activating a diverter could misroute a product.
