The Siemens 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 is a SIMATIC ET 200SP relay module with 4 normally-open outputs rated 5 A at 24-120 V DC or 24-230 V AC, fitted with a manual operation feature for each channel. It runs on 24 V DC, mounts on BU type B0 or B1, and is rated for 7,000,000 operating cycles per relay.
The manual-operation feature on each of the 4 normally-open contacts lets a technician force a channel during commissioning or maintenance without touching the PLC program, which is the main reason to choose this variant over a plain relay output module. Its 7,000,000 operating-cycle rating is well above the isolated CO relay module's 1,000,000 cycles, so it suits circuits with more frequent switching. Protect each output with the specified 6 A quick-response fuse before commissioning.
