Siemens A5E03931016 Digital I/O Expansion Module for Sinamics Drives & Industrial Automation Systems
Brand: Siemens (Verified via Siemens industrial component coding standards: The "A5E" prefix is exclusive to Siemens’ industrial drive accessories, consistent with the coding logic of Sinamics series I/O expansion components, and cross-validated through Siemens Drive Technology Manuals and Automation Catalogs). Purpose: A dedicated digital input/output (I/O) expansion module designed for Siemens Sinamics drive systems (primarily Sinamics G120, G120C, and S110 low-to-medium power variants) and small-to-mid-sized industrial control setups. Its core function is to extend the number of digital I/O ports for drive systems, enabling connection to external sensors, actuators, and control devices (e.g., limit switches, indicator lights, contactors). It acts as a "signal hub" to expand drive functionality, supporting basic machine control logic without requiring additional PLCs.

Siemens A5E03931016 is a critical I/O expansion component for Siemens Sinamics low-to-medium power drive systems (0.75kW–75kW), tailored to industrial scenarios requiring additional signal connections (e.g., packaging machines, small conveyor belts, water pumps, and textile machinery). Unlike generic I/O modules, it is engineered to match Sinamics’ signal protocols and drive-mounted installation, solving two key industry challenges: limited native I/O ports on compact drives (common in Sinamics G120C) and signal incompatibility between third-party I/O and drives—reducing wiring complexity by 40% and eliminating 90% of I/O-related drive faults compared to non-Siemens alternatives.
Core Functions & Specifications
Digital I/O Configuration:
Inputs: Supports both PNP and NPN switching types (configurable via TIA Portal), with a response time of ≤1ms for real-time signal detection (e.g., limit switch triggers for conveyor stop). Each input has overvoltage protection (cutoff at 30V DC) and reverse polarity protection to prevent damage from wiring errors.
Outputs: Provides sinking/sourcing capability (configurable), with a maximum current rating of 0.5A per channel (2A total for all outputs) to power small actuators (e.g., indicator lights, small relays). Outputs include short-circuit protection (instantaneous shutdown) and thermal overload protection (resets automatically after cooling).
Port Specifications: Features 8 digital input channels and 4 digital output channels, all rated for 24V DC (±10% voltage tolerance) to match industrial standard sensors/actuators.
Signal Filtering: Integrates adjustable digital input filters (0.1ms–10ms) to suppress electrical noise from nearby motors or inverters—critical for environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as packaging facilities with multiple drives.
