Siemens 6ES5482-8MA11 Digital Input Output Module

Siemens 6ES5482-8MA11 Digital Input Output Module is a SIMATIC S5 482 digital I/O card that adds 16 inputs and 16 outputs to a compatible S5 controller. Operating at 24 V DC, this module provides 16 digital input channels and 16 digital output channels, enabling direct connection of sensors, switches, and actuators to a single module. Each output is rated up to 0.5 A, making it suitable for driving relays, solenoids, and other 24 V DC devices commonly found in industrial automation. The 6ES5482-8MA11 is designed for integration with SIMATIC S5 systems and is cataloged for use with S5 controllers such as the S5-90U, S5-95U, and S5-100U families, as well as related rack configurations. It ships in its original packaging, ready for installation or replacement in legacy S5 installations. Ideal applications include factory automation, machine control, packaging lines, and process control where a compact, high-channel-count digital I/O solution is required. The module adheres to the standard 24 V DC logic conventions of the S5 I/O family and is used to monitor field devices while enabling active control of discrete actuators via the same expansion point. With its 16 DI/16 DO configuration in a single module, it reduces wiring complexity and simplifies I/O expansion for legacy Siemens systems.
