PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The 6AF7004-2AA provides a bare mounting rack for Siemens industrial control assemblies. This frame holds modules securely while leaving power supply selection to the system designer. Consequently, integrators gain flexible configuration options for custom cabinet builds.

Technical Specifications Overview

The 6AF7004-2AA combines a rigid steel frame with a standard slot pitch. Moreover, its parameter set helps engineers plan module counts and backplane wiring accurately.

Interface and Bus Communication

The 6AF7004-2AA routes signals through integrated backplane bus connectors. Therefore, installed modules exchange data quickly once the user adds a power supply. The rack itself contains no regulation circuitry or transformer. In addition, external wiring feeds operating voltage to the backplane rails.

Physical Characteristics and Installation

This rack measures roughly 483 mm wide and 177 mm high. Furthermore, its 150 mm depth accommodates standard module lengths. The 6AF7004-2AA weighs about 3.5 kg. Consequently, two technicians can lift it easily into cabinet rails. Installation follows standard 19-inch mounting practices, then front screws secure the frame.

Operational Role and Maintenance

Engineers select the 6AF7004-2AA when they need custom power architectures. Meanwhile, the open frame simplifies inspection and module replacement work. The rack stores no energy and includes no battery or capacitor. Thus, it avoids periodic cell replacement tasks entirely. Instead, the user supplies all operating power externally.
