About the Siemens 6ES7455-0VS00-0AE0

The Siemens 6ES7455-0VS00-0AE0 is the FM 455 C, the continuous-output version of the S7-400 FM 455 controller module; the FM 455 S (6ES7455-1VS00-0AE0) has step and pulse outputs instead. Siemens's data sheet gives 16 control channels, 16 analog inputs (8 with Pt100), thermocouple types B, J, K, R and S, 16 digital inputs, 16 analog outputs and 12 W typical power loss. SiePortal shows its phase-out announced on 1 October 2025 and its product cancellation on 1 October 2026.

What is the 6ES7455-0VS00-0AE0 used for?

It runs up to 16 closed control loops, such as temperature, pressure or flow, for an S7-400 CPU.

Lifecycle and successor
