Applications
The Siemens 6ES7132-4HB13-0AB0 is a two-channel relay output electronic module designed for the SIMATIC ET 200S distributed I/O system. It features isolated change-over contacts and supports both DC and AC load switching, providing flexibility for industrial control applications.
With a rated switching current of up to 5 A per channel, this module can control compatible solenoid valves, DC contactors, indicator lights, and other electrical loads. Its relay-based design makes it particularly useful in applications where potential-free switching contacts are required.
Typical applications include:
Industrial machine control: Switches electrical loads according to PLC control commands.
Contactor operation: Controls compatible contactors in motor and equipment control circuits.
Solenoid valve control: Provides relay switching for suitable DC and AC solenoid valves.
Industrial signaling: Operates indicator lights and other compatible signaling equipment.
Distributed automation: Expands the relay output capacity of SIMATIC ET 200S stations.
Production line automation: Controls actuators and auxiliary equipment in packaging, assembly, and manufacturing systems.
Advantages
1. Two Independent Relay Outputs
The module provides two relay output channels, allowing separate control of two compatible electrical loads through one electronic module.
2. AC and DC Switching Capability
Its change-over contacts support 24–230 V AC and 24–48 V DC applications, offering flexibility when connecting different types of industrial equipment.
3. Rated Switching Current up to 5 A
Each channel supports a maximum continuous thermal current of 5 A under the specified operating conditions. This makes the module suitable for a variety of control and signaling applications.
4. Electrically Isolated Channels
The relay outputs are electrically isolated from each other, the backplane bus, and the module supply voltage. This provides greater flexibility when designing field-side control circuits.
5. Normally Open and Normally Closed Contacts
Each relay channel provides common, normally open, and normally closed contacts. Engineers can select the appropriate contact arrangement according to the required control logic.
6. Configurable Substitute-Value Behavior
The module supports substitute-value behavior when the CPU or master enters STOP mode. This allows the response of the outputs to be configured according to the application requirements.
7. Compact ET 200S Integration

Q2: How many relay outputs does this module provide?
It provides two independent relay output channels. Each channel includes common, normally open, and normally closed contacts.
Q3: What load voltages does the 6ES7132-4HB13-0AB0 support?
The relay contacts support 24–48 V DC and 24–230 V AC applications. The permitted load must also comply with the contact switching capacity and electrical specifications.
Q4: What is the maximum output current per channel?
The maximum continuous thermal current is 5 A per channel under the specified operating conditions. The permitted current is reduced at higher ambient temperatures.
Q5: Can this module control both AC and DC loads?
Yes. Its relay contacts can switch compatible AC and DC loads within the specified voltage and current limits.
Q6: Are the two relay channels electrically isolated?
Yes. The channels are electrically isolated from each other. They are also isolated from the backplane bus and the module supply voltage.
Q7: Does the module provide short-circuit protection?
No. The relay outputs do not have integrated short-circuit protection. Siemens specifies external 6 A fusing for the relay output circuits. Appropriate protection must be selected according to the actual installation.
Q8: Can the module control solenoid valves and contactors?
Yes. It is suitable for compatible solenoid valves, DC contactors, and indicator lights. Engineers should consider the load's inrush current, switching frequency, and contact ratings when selecting connected devices.
Q9: What happens to the relay outputs when the CPU enters STOP mode?
The module supports configurable substitute-value behavior. Depending on the selected parameterization, the outputs can use a substitute value or retain their last state. The correct setting should be selected according to the machine's operating and safety requirements.
Q10: What should be checked if a relay output does not switch correctly?
Check the field supply, external fuse, terminal wiring, PLC output command, relay contact condition, and connected load. Also inspect the channel status LEDs and verify that the module parameters are configured correctly.
