Description
The Siemens SIMATIC S7-400 SM 422 (6ES7422-…) series are digital output modules designed for the S7-400 rack-based PLC system. They provide isolated or non-isolated switching of AC/DC loads such as contactors, indicator lamps, solenoid valves, and interposing relays. The listed models cover 32-point 24V DC transistor outputs (1BL00/1BH10/1BH11), 16-point 24V DC (1FH00), and 16-point 120/230V AC relay or triac outputs (1HH00), giving engineers flexibility for diverse plant-floor requirements.
Key Features
- S7-400 Rack Compatible: Plugs into central or extended rack (UR1/UR2/ER1/ER2) via backplane bus.
- Output Types:
- 1BL00 / 1BH10 / 1BH11 → 32 × DO 24V DC (0.5A), transistor (source/sink per variant), group-isolated.
- 1FH00 → 16 × DO 24V DC (2A), transistor, short-circuit proof.
- 1HH00 → 16 × DO 120/230V AC (2A), relay or triac (check sub-type), electrically isolated.
- Diagnostic LEDs: Per-channel status + module-level error/fault LED.
- Interrupt / Diagnostic Capability: Reports wire break, short circuit, overload to CPU (where supported by CPU & HW config).
- Country of Origin: Germany
Model & Specification Table
Model | Output Points | Voltage / Type | Current / Point | Isolation | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6ES7422-1BL00-0AA0 | 32 | 24 V DC, Transistor | 0.5 A | Group iso. (8 groups × 4 ch) | General DC load switching |
6ES7422-1BH10-0AA0 | 32 | 24 V DC, Transistor | 0.5 A | Group iso. (variant diff.) | Alt. to 1BL00 (check source/sink) |
6ES7422-1BH11-0AA0 | 32 | 24 V DC, Transistor | 0.5 A | Group iso. | Newer/alternate 32-ch version |
6ES7422-1FH00-0AA0 | 16 | 24 V DC, Transistor | 2.0 A | Channel/Group iso. | Higher current DC loads |
6ES7422-1HH00-0AA0 | 16 | 120/230 V AC, Relay/Triac | 2.0 A (AC) | Electrically isolated | AC solenoid / contactor / lamp loads |
⚠️ Important:
1BL00 vs 1BH10/1BH11: All are 32×24V DC transistor — differences are in internal grouping, source/sink capability, and firmware compatibility. Match your existing HW config in STEP 7 before substituting. 1HH00: Verify if your specific sub-suffix is relay (mechanical) or triac (solid-state AC output) — both exist under the 1HH00 family. Relay version has limited mechanical life (~100k ops at rated load). External Fusing: Always fuse outputs per Siemens recommendations (typically 2× rated current, slow-blow for inductive loads).
