PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Acquire absolute encoder positions through the SSI interface

Siemens 6ES7138-4DB03-0AB0 is the ET 200S 1SSI electronic module for connecting one absolute SSI encoder to a controller. It supports encoder widths from 13 to 25 bits, with configurable data handling and standard or Fast operating modes.

Standard mode provides event-driven latching and two comparison results in the feedback interface. Fast mode reduces the available functions for rapid position acquisition. Encoder format, clock rate, cable length and station support must be matched before using the module in a maintained installation.

SYSTEM & REPLACEMENT CHECK

Information needed before ordering

Three direct checks to secure your system integration and minimize ordering risks.

Information

System integration Replacement check Manuals & support
ET 200S ABSOLUTE POSITION ACQUISITION

Match SSI timing, encoder format and operating mode

Connect the absolute encoder through the documented RS422 data and clock pairs, using shielded twisted-pair cables with the shield supported at both ends. Select the clock rate against both the module's cable-length table and the encoder manufacturer's limits. The maximum cable distance is rate-dependent and must not be treated as one universal installation allowance.
Choose standard mode when the application needs input-triggered position capture or comparison against loaded values. Choose Fast mode only when its reduced function set and feedback interface suit the controller program. Siemens excludes the original IM151-1AA00 execution from Fast mode, and GSD integration is documented only for non-isochronous operation.
Set encoder width, Gray or binary coding, parity, total steps, trailing bits and direction reversal from the actual encoder specification. In free-wheeling operation, the configured monoflop time must exceed the encoder's own monoflop time. For isochronous operation, check CPU, bus and interface-module support and use the sign-of-life information to detect stale feedback.

Features:

  • Rate-dependent cable qualification
  • Mode-specific feedback and control layout
  • Encoder-specific format and timing settings
The Siemens 6ES7138-4DB03-0AB0 requires the documented hardware configuration, installation conditions and interface arrangement to be verified before system integration and commissioning.
INTERCHANGEABILITY

Verify the complete replacement identity before commissioning

Identify the complete installed order code before selecting a spare. Siemens explicitly documents 4DB03 as a fully compatible replacement for 4DB02, 4DB01 and 4DB00. The DB03 chapter retains predecessor-labelled terminal illustrations, so those drawings must be read together with the chapter's exact-model scope rather than relabelled as a different hardware photograph.
Retain the existing standard or Fast configuration entry and the associated process-data mapping. Preserve encoder width, parity, coding and timing parameters, then check the maintained controller program's acknowledgement logic. Standard mode requires acknowledgement of a frozen latch value and certain faults; Fast mode clears its grouped encoder or supply error indication after the cause disappears.
After restoring the station, verify the ready state, encoder direction, input indication and diagnostic messages using the approved commissioning procedure. If station parameters are reassigned, comparison values must be reloaded and latching needs a new digital-input edge. Use the complete ET 200S station documentation alongside this technological-functions excerpt for system installation and safety requirements.

Features:

  • Documented DB00/DB01/DB02 replacement scope
  • Encoder settings and acknowledgement logic retained
  • Post-configuration diagnostics and latch checks
The Siemens 6ES7138-4DB03-0AB0 requires replacement verification based on its complete order number, installed hardware, signal configuration and project documentation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions buyers ask about 6ES7138-4DB03-0AB0

Direct answers about identity, compatibility, stock, warranty, payment and shipping.
  • Is this a general RS232 or RS485 serial communications module?

    No. The 1SSI is an interface for an absolute SSI encoder. Siemens specifies RS422 differential signals for the SSI data and clock pairs. It is not the ET 200S 1SI point-to-point communications module.
  • Does Fast mode retain the latch and comparator functions?

    No. Latching and the two comparison functions are documented for standard mode only. Fast mode provides a compact feedback interface for rapid encoder-value acquisition and cannot be used with IM151 order number 6ES7151-1AA00-0AB0.
  • What cable length is permitted at 2 MHz?

    The manual allows a maximum of 8 m at 2 MHz using shielded twisted-pair wiring. The encoder may require a shorter cable. Lower clock rates permit different lengths, so the 320 m value at 125 kHz cannot be applied to a 2 MHz connection.
  • Are the comparison results physical digital outputs?

    No. The manual places both comparison results in the feedback interface. The CMP indicator shows the first comparison result; it is not evidence of a load-switching terminal. The terminal assignment provides SSI signals, encoder supply and a digital latch input.
  • How should Gray code, parity and trailing bits be configured?

    Use the actual encoder specification. Gray conversion acts on the complete encoder value, so preceding special bits and trailing bits require care. Set the encoder width, parity, normalization, trailing-bit count and total steps consistently; do not copy these settings from a different encoder.
  • Which earlier 1SSI modules can 4DB03 replace?

    The 2010 Siemens manual explicitly lists 6ES7138-4DB02-0AB0, 6ES7138-4DB01-0AB0 and 6ES7138-4DB00-0AB0 as fully compatible predecessors. Preserve the existing operating mode, encoder settings and interface mapping; this statement does not establish compatibility with every ET 200S serial module.
