The Siemens 6ES5247-4UA31 (IP 247) is an intelligent, single-axis positioning module engineered for stepper motor control within the Simatic S5-135U and S5-155U PLC systems. This module offloads time-critical pulse-generation tasks from the central processor, executing independent open-loop position profiles. By managing acceleration and deceleration ramps locally, it prevents CPU cycle bottlenecks and ensures precise motion control in demanding industrial environments such as automotive manufacturing and automated warehousing.
This module is designed for precision point-to-point positioning tasks in industrial automation, including:
| Model | 6ES5247-4UA31 |
| Series | Simatic S5 (135U / 155U) |
| Control Channels | 1 independent axis |
| Pulse Output Frequency | Up to 100 kHz |
| Signal Levels | 5 VDC differential / 24 VDC single-ended |
| Power Consumption | 5.5 W (from backplane) |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to 55 deg C |
| Storage Temperature | -40 to 70 deg C |
No, the IP 247 (6ES5247-4UA31) is specifically designed for the S5-135U and S5-155U PLC chassis infrastructure.
The module draws its internal logic power from the backplane (5.5 W), but signal level requirements (5 VDC vs 24 VDC) must be configured according to the specific stepper drive requirements.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
