Siemens 6ES5-482-7LA11 Digital Input Module S5

Siemens 6ES5-482-7LA11 is a SIMATIC S5 digital input/output module for the S5-115U/F PLC family. It provides 16 digital I/O channels at 24 V DC in a floating configuration, with a per-channel current rating of 0.5 A. The module, also cataloged as 6ES5482-7LA11, is designed to plug into the S5 backplane and interface directly with field devices such as switches, sensors, and actuators, enabling straightforward expansion of legacy automation cabinets without migrating to newer platforms. The 24 V DC inputs and outputs suit common industrial sensors and control devices, and this floating I/O arrangement helps simplify wiring and maintenance in older Siemens S5 installations. Used in setups where retrofits or incremental I/O growth are needed, the 6ES5-482-7LA11 fits seamlessly with other S5 modules to preserve established control logic while increasing the plant’s digital I/O capacity. When wiring, follow Siemens installation guidelines for safety, including proper grounding and current distribution.
