Dear Sir,

I need your help to solve my problem with Analog Output card.

Before we used 6ES5 470-8MB12 but now was broken.

Can we change with 6ES5 470-8MC12. Can this card used same function.

If can, are there any changing with setting or program for Address Analog Output.

Split from I also want to know HOW TO CHECK THE LIFETIME or DICONTINUITY of PLC MODULE S5, such as analog module simatic s5.

Hello Irwanto;

Have a look at this page from an old ST50 Catalog (for S5 modules):

https://w3.siemens.com/automation/jp/Documents/9_SIMATIC_S5_catalog_ST50_en.pdf

Note that the -8MB12 is designed for ±20 mA signals, and the -8MC12 connects to 4-20 mA current inputs. You could eventually replace one by another, if the signal you are reading is unipolar (only positve signal), and with a reduced range (and accuracy). Or use a signal converter to transform the input signal fronm your sensor from ±20 mA to 4-20 ma before connecting to the new analog module.

Hope this helps,

Daniel Chartier
