-
Comprehensive Onboard I/O – 16 digital inputs (24V DC), 16 digital outputs (24V DC), 8 analog inputs (0–10V or 0–20mA), and 1 analog output (0–10V or 0–20mA)
-
16 KB User Memory – Full program memory for STEP 5 applications
-
Expandable Architecture – Supports expansion with up to 32 peripheral modules from the S5-100U series
Technical Parameters
Core Advantages
1. PROFIBUS-DP Master for Distributed Control
The -8ME01 variant is specifically engineered for centralized automation architectures. Its built-in SINEC L2-DP master interface allows the S5-95U to control up to 122 DP slave stations on a single bus segment . This makes it ideal for applications requiring a central controller to coordinate multiple remote I/O stations, variable frequency drives, or other PROFIBUS-enabled devices.
2. Comprehensive Onboard I/O in a Compact Package
The 6ES5095-8ME01 provides a versatile I/O mix directly on the CPU: 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, 8 analog inputs, and 1 analog output . This onboard capability handles many local control tasks without requiring additional expansion modules, reducing system cost and complexity.
3. Expandable for Larger Applications
Despite its compact size, the S5-95U can be expanded with up to 32 peripheral modules from the S5-100U series, including digital I/O, analog I/O, and special function modules . This scalability makes it suitable for a wide range of application sizes, from simple standalone control to more complex distributed systems.
4. Proven Legacy Platform with Established Configuration Tools
The S5-95U DP master is configured using COM PROFIBUS or COM_ET200 software, with parameters stored in DB1 of the STEP 5 program . This well-documented configuration path allows engineers to maintain and modify existing installations using familiar Siemens toolchains.
5. Critical for Legacy System Maintenance
Many industrial facilities still rely on S5-95U compact controllers in production-critical applications. The 6ES5095-8ME01 is an essential spare for maintaining these systems, allowing operators to replace failed units without undertaking a complete system migration .
Applications
The 6ES5095-8ME01 is deployed across a range of industrial automation applications:
Recommended Models & Related Products
Compatibility Note: If the onboard DP port is not used, the 6ES5095-8ME01 (DP Master) can be replaced with a 6ES5095-8MD03 (DP Slave) and vice versa. However, if the onboard DP port is used, direct replacement is not possible without reconfiguration or adding a DP/DP coupler.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 6ES5095-8ME01?
It is a compact central processing unit from the SIMATIC S5-95U series, featuring a built-in PROFIBUS-DP Master interface for controlling distributed automation networks .
Q2: What distinguishes the -8ME01 from other S5-95U variants?
The -8ME01 is the PROFIBUS-DP Master variant, including the master module. It can control up to 122 DP slave stations on the bus. Other variants offer DP slave functionality (MD), dual AS511 ports (MC), or FDL capability (MB) .
Q3: What I/O does this module provide?
It provides 16 digital inputs (24V DC), 16 digital outputs (24V DC), 8 analog inputs (0–10V or 0–20mA), and 1 analog output (0–10V or 0–20mA) .
Q4: How much program memory does the 6ES5095-8ME01 have?
It has 16 KB of user memory for STEP 5 programs .
Q5: Can I use this module as a PROFIBUS-DP slave?
No. The -8ME01 is a DP Master only. For DP slave functionality, the 6ES5095-8MD03 is required.
Q6: How do I configure the PROFIBUS-DP network on this module?
Configuration is performed using COM PROFIBUS or COM_ET200 software. The DP parameters are stored in DB1 of the STEP 5 program. You must configure the bus parameters, station addresses, and slave device profiles in COM PROFIBUS, then download the configuration to the S5-95U .
Q7: What is the maximum number of DP slaves I can connect?
The S5-95U DP master can support up to 122 DP slave stations on the bus .
Q8: Is this a genuine Siemens product?
Yes. This is a genuine Siemens module manufactured in Germany. Depending on availability, units may be new original or professionally refurbished .
Q9: Is the SIMATIC S5 series still in production?
No. The SIMATIC S5 series has been discontinued by Siemens and replaced by the S7 series. The S5-95U is available only through third-party suppliers and remaining stock.
Q10: What should I verify before ordering?
Always verify the exact part number (6ES5095-8ME01), confirm your system requirements (DP master functionality), and check whether your application requires expansion modules or specific firmware features .
