Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
Siemens 6ES5316-8FA12 extends an S5-90U/95U/F, S5-100U, ET 100U or ET 200U arrangement through an IM 316F connection with increased EMC resistance.
  • Connects up to three expansion rows through the IM 316F interface.
  • Supports the listed S5-90U/95U/F, S5-100U, ET 100U and ET 200U contexts.
  • The F execution provides increased EMC resistance.
  • Connector options cover 0.5 m through 10 m.

The retained expansion-row map, cable order number and receiving host must agree before replacement; the IM 316 interface-module table defines the matching connector and current limits.

Important Notice: confirm the IM 316F identity, the host family and every expansion-row cable before isolation.

Apply these checks to the exact Siemens 6ES5316-8FA12 installation before isolation, replacement or release.
1
Confirm the complete Siemens 6ES5316-8FA12 and IM 316F markings.
2
Record the controller family, interface position and each expansion row.
3
Label every connector and verify its cable order number.
4
Place the PLC and all connected rows in the approved maintenance state.
5
Check the one-ampere expansion-unit limit and retained grounding arrangement.
6
Restore the recorded row order, cable routing and mechanical retention.
7
Review controller and remote-I/O diagnostics after energization.
8
Verify communication with every configured expansion row before release.

Technical notes

Keep the IM 316F interface position, expansion-row order, connector order numbers, current loading and grounding arrangement together. After replacement, prove communication with every configured row.
