PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The Siemens 7KG6000-8AE/CC acquires analog signals for SIMEAS R power monitors. This module belongs to the SIMEAS R product family. You will find this input board in substations and power generation facilities. It measures voltage, current, and frequency from grid connections.

Manufacturer: Siemens
Series: SIMEAS R
Category: Input Module (8-Channel Analog)

Physical Dimensions and Weight

The Siemens 7KG6000-8AE/CC measures 7.8 inches in height. Its width reaches 1.8 inches for single-slot occupancy. The depth goes to 6.5 inches including connectors. This compact design fits into any SIMEAS R chassis. The total weight comes to approximately 0.5 kilograms.

Technical Specifications and Channel Configuration

This input module provides eight differential analog input channels. Each channel accepts voltage inputs from 0 to 10V AC or DC. The module measures currents using external 1A or 5A CTs. It samples all channels simultaneously at 4 kHz per channel. Furthermore, the board achieves 16-bit resolution for precise measurements.

Signal Conditioning and Energy Storage

The Siemens 7KG6000-8AE/CC includes precision signal conditioning for each channel. Anti-aliasing filters remove high-frequency noise before sampling. The module uses capacitor arrays for transient energy absorption. Each channel stores 0.47 microfarads for voltage spike protection. Consequently, you get accurate readings even on noisy power grids.

Interface and Connectivity

This input module uses a 50-pin header connector for backplane communication. Screw terminal blocks accept field wiring for all eight channels. Each channel has three terminals for voltage, current, and common. Eight LED indicators show channel activity and overload status. You can connect CTs directly without external signal conditioners.

Component Layout and Processing Power

The Siemens 7KG6000-8AE/CC contains 145 discrete components on a six-layer PCB. Key parts include eight 16-bit ADC chips and 16 operational amplifiers. An onboard FPGA manages all sampling and data buffering tasks. This processor handles 32,000 samples per second total throughput. Therefore, you capture fast transients and harmonics accurately.

Integration and Compatibility

Use the Siemens 7KG6000-8AE/CC with any SIMEAS R main unit. It works alongside 7KG6000-8AE/CC or 7KG6100-8AE/CC I/O modules. This input module supports all standard power monitoring configurations.
