Siemens 6ES7136-6DC00-0CA0 SIMATIC ET 200SP F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF Fail-safe Remote I/O Module

The Siemens 6ES7136-6DC00-0CA0 is a SIMATIC ET 200SP fail-safe digital output module (F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF) rated up to Performance Level e (ISO 13849-1) and SIL 3 (IEC 61508). It provides 8 transistor outputs at 24 V DC, 0.5 A per channel, for safety shutdown of actuators, with a PFH below 2.00E-09 1/h.

Certifications & Standards

• ISO 13849-1 (PLe)
• IEC 61508 (SIL 3)

Selection Notes

F-DQ marks it as a fail-safe digital output; PP is the push-pull output stage and HF is the High Feature variant. The PLe/SIL 3 rating qualifies this module as the final output element in a machine safety circuit — de-energizing a contactor coil or valve — without an external safety relay, provided the upstream sensor and logic meet the same or higher category. Each channel switches up to its 0.7 A typical response threshold, so it drives small DC contactor coils directly; loads above the 0.5 A rated current still need an external contactor stage. It mounts only on BU type A0 BaseUnits, so confirm BaseUnit type before adding it to an existing ET 200SP station.

Applications

Safety-related shutdown of contactors, valves, and other actuators in machine safety circuits built to ISO 13849-1 / IEC 61508, using PROFIsafe over PROFINET or PROFIBUS through the ET 200SP interface module.
