The SIMATIC 6ES5710-8MA11 is the mounting backbone of an S5-100U panel: a 483 mm perforated standard rail in galvanized steel that takes the SIMATIC modules snap-on, with pre-drilled holes so the rail itself screws to the cabinet plate without further machining.

What Is the SIMATIC 6ES5710-8MA11 Mounting Rail

The mechanical base of an S5-100U station

S5-100U CPUs, I/O modules, and matching power supplies all clip onto this 35 mm top-hat profile; the rail carries the modules while wiring and spacing follow the SIMATIC layout rules.

Pre-punched for fast cabinet work

The perforations let the rail be screwed directly onto the cabinet plate at standard intervals – no drilling, no marking – and the galvanized steel finish resists corrosion inside the enclosure.

Part of a four-length rail family

The same 35 x 15 mm profile is available as 6ES5710-8MA21 (530 mm, 600 mm cabinets), 8MA31 (830 mm, 900 mm cabinets) and 8MA41 (2 m) so one rail type covers all common cabinet depths.

Key Features of the SIMATIC 35 mm / 483 mm Rail

One profile for the whole S5 panel

CPU, I/O and power modules of the S5-100U line share the same 35 mm snap-on rail, so panels stay modular – extend the rail run instead of redesigning the plate.

Machining already done

Pre-punched fixing holes and a true SIMATIC profile mean the rail bolts straight into 500 mm cabinets and the modules seat with the original snap fit, not a generic imitation.

Genuine legacy-platform support

For plants still running S5-100U and ET 100U/200U stations, an original Siemens rail keeps the mechanical platform authentic while migration is being planned.

All four rails share the 35 mm high, 15 mm deep perforated steel profile; only the length changes, so the choice is purely the cabinet width – 483 mm for 500 mm cabinets, 530 mm for 600 mm, 830 mm for 900 mm, and the 2 m rail for large enclosures or cut-to-size work.

Compatibility and How to Order

Carries SIMATIC S5-100U CPUs, digital and analog I/O modules, power supplies and ET 100U/ET 200U stations; also accepts standard terminal blocks and other devices built for the 35 x 7.5/15 mm top-hat rail. Pair with the S5 insertion tool 6ES5497-4UC11 for press-fit contact work.

  • Email sales@can-electric.com with the order number, quantity, delivery country, and whether the power module equips a new cabinet or replaces a failed unit.
  • State the condition you need — new, new-surplus or refurbished is written on the quote, never implied.
  • Prices are USD and ships go out from Hong Kong by DHL; availability is confirmed per order rather than taken from a catalogue status.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SIMATIC 6ES5710-8MA11 used for?

It is the 483 mm standard sectional rail on which SIMATIC S5-100U CPUs, I/O modules and power supplies are snapped when building or rebuilding an S5 station in a 500 mm wide cabinet.

Which rail length fits my cabinet?

483 mm suits 500 mm cabinets, 530 mm (6ES5710-8MA21) suits 600 mm, 830 mm (8MA31) suits 900 mm, and the 2 m 8MA41 can be used full-length or cut to size.

Is this the same profile as a normal 35 mm DIN rail?

Yes in geometry – it is a 35 x 15 mm top-hat profile to EN 60715 – but it is the Siemens genuine part with SIMATIC-tolerant punching and finish, so original modules seat as designed.

Is it compatible with ET 200S?

No – the 6ES5710-8MA rails belong to the SIMATIC S5 accessory family (S5-100U, ET 100U/ET 200U); ET 200S stations use their own mounting rails of the 6ES7195 series.

Does the rail come pre-drilled?

Yes – it is perforated for screw fixing to the cabinet plate, so no on-site drilling is required.

What material is it made of?

Galvanized steel, giving a corrosion-resistant conductive surface suitable for control-cabinet installation.

Is the rail still available new from Siemens?

The SIMATIC S5 platform is phased out; the rail is procured as a legacy spare-part item through channel stock, with condition and stock status stated on the quote.

Which tools are used with S5 modules on this rail?

The SIMATIC insertion tool 6ES5497-4UC11 for press-fit contacts, plus standard screwdrivers for the rail fixing screws and front connectors.

Can it carry other vendors’ devices?

Any device specified for the 35 mm top-hat rail (terminal blocks, relays, small power supplies) can be clipped on; electrical compatibility is independent of the rail.

Is the product genuine, and how do I get a quote?

Genuine Siemens hardware sourced through Siemens-authorized distribution partners; CAN Electric is an independent channel trader, not Siemens and not a factory-authorized distributor. Email sales@can-electric.com with quantity and delivery country.
