Product Overview
The Siemens 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 is a relay-based digital output module for the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system. Its official product designation is RQ 4x120VDC-230VAC/5A NO MA ST, identifying a four-channel relay output module with normally open contacts and manual operation capability.
The module converts digital control commands from a SIMATIC PLC into switching actions for external electrical circuits. Each of its four relay channels provides a normally open contact, allowing the controller to operate contactors, solenoid valves, auxiliary relays, and other compatible industrial loads.
A distinguishing feature of the 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 is its manual operation function. In addition to controller-based switching, the module supports manual operation of its relay outputs, which can be useful during commissioning, maintenance, and functional testing. This capability differentiates it from standard relay output variants without manual operation.
The module supports switching voltages from 24 to 120 V DC and 24 to 230 V AC. Each channel supports a maximum switching current of 5 A for resistive loads and 2 A for inductive loads, subject to the specified operating conditions.
As part of the ET 200SP platform, the module communicates through the station backplane bus and can be installed on compatible BU type B0 or B1 BaseUnits. It also supports substitute values, supply voltage monitoring, and module diagnostics.
The 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 is suitable for distributed automation installations where relay-based load switching and local manual operation are both required.

Product Working Principle
The Siemens 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 converts digital output commands into relay switching operations through four mechanical relay channels.
During normal automatic operation, the SIMATIC controller sends output commands through the ET 200SP interface module. These commands travel across the station backplane bus to the relay output module.
When an output is activated, the corresponding relay coil is energized using the 24 V DC supply. The electromagnetic action closes the normally open contact, completing the external electrical circuit. When the output is deactivated, the relay releases and the contact returns to its normally open state.
A simplified control arrangement is:
SIMATIC PLC → ET 200SP Interface Module → Backplane Bus → 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 → Relay Contacts → External Loads
The module also supports manual operation. This provides an additional operating method for relay switching during service and commissioning procedures, reducing dependence on controller commands for supported manual operations.
Each output channel is electrically isolated from the other channels. This arrangement allows separate external circuits to be switched while maintaining the specified electrical separation.
The module supports resistive switching currents up to 5 A and inductive switching currents up to 2 A per channel. Inductive loads require particular attention because the interruption of current can generate voltage transients. Suitable external suppression and protection should be applied according to the connected equipment.
The module continuously monitors its supply voltage and provides diagnostic information through its PWR and DIAG indicators. These functions help maintenance personnel identify supply-related problems and module operating conditions.
Role in Siemens SIMATIC ET 200SP Control Architecture
Within the SIMATIC ET 200SP architecture, the 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 serves as a relay output interface between the PLC control program and external field circuits.
The controller executes the automation logic and transfers output commands to the distributed I/O station through the communication interface. The backplane bus distributes these commands to the relay module, which operates the corresponding output contacts.
The manual operation capability adds another operating method for maintenance and commissioning activities.
A typical control arrangement is:
SIMATIC PLC → ET 200SP Interface Module → Backplane Bus → 6ES7132-6MD00-0BB1 → External Electrical Equipment
