Description
About the CNX8600
About the CNX8600
The Siemens 6EP4436-8XB00-0DY0 is a SITOP CNX8600 output expansion module that adds eight isolated 24V DC outputs to a PSU8600 power supply system, each output rated 2.5A for a combined 20A output current at 97% efficiency. Outputs meet NEC Class 2 requirements and connect through plug-in screw terminals on a DIN-rail-mounted 100 x 125 x 150 mm enclosure.

Selection Notes
The eight 2.5A outputs suit machines with many low-current 24V DC branches - I/O racks, sensor groups, valve banks - where each circuit draws under 2.5A; the higher-current CNX8600 variants in the family cover fewer, higher-current branches instead. Because each output has its own short-circuit cut-off, adjustable overload threshold, and status LED, a fault on one branch trips only that output's protection and relay signal rather than the whole PSU8600 zone. The Ethernet/PROFINET interface through the PSU8600 lets the 0.5-2.5A response current on each channel be set remotely instead of only through the on-board potentiometer, which matters when channel loads change after commissioning.
Applications
Used inside control panels where one PSU8600 supply feeds multiple isolated 24V DC circuits, letting PLC I/O, sensor power, and valve manifolds sit on separate protected outputs so a single branch fault does not take down the whole cabinet.
