About the Siemens 6ES7422-7BL00-0AB0
The Siemens 6ES7422-7BL00-0AB0 is the diagnostic version of the 32-channel SM 422: like the 6ES7422-1BL00-0AA0 it has 32 outputs at 0.5 A, and it adds wire-break and short-circuit diagnostics and parameterizable interrupts. Siemens's data sheet gives a 24 V DC load voltage (20.4 to 28.8 V), isolation in groups of 8 and 8 W typical power loss; Siemens's description gives a 0.15 ms output delay. SiePortal shows its phase-out announced on 1 October 2025 and its product cancellation on 1 October 2026.
What is the 6ES7422-7BL00-0AB0 used for?
It switches 24 V DC loads from an S7-400 CPU where a broken cable or a shorted output has to show up in the program.
Lifecycle and successor
Discontinued.
Before you order
What to photograph or confirm so the right unit is quoted.
Check the order number on the module: 7BL00 is the diagnostic version, 1BL00 the standard one.
