It draws a typical 27 mA from a +9 V supply and measures 45.4 x 135 x 39 mm, with a weight around 120 g, making it a compact bridging unit for legacy automation setups. This module is a discontinued product—the manufacturer halted production on November 1, 1994—and it is commonly described as an IM316 interface device; some catalogs note that it was replaced by the 6ES5316-8MA12 revision while preserving core functionality. In typical S5 installations, IM316 interface modules enable expansion of I\/O and inter-rack communication across multiple expansion rails. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Siemens","offers":[{"title":"New Surplus No Box","offer_id":46268499001578,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-018.png?v=1788727429","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/siemens-6es5316-8ma11-programmable-logic-controller-module","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
