Dear Friends ,
CAn we use S7 200 port power supply ( pin nos 5 and 6) for external use as
1) power suppply for RS232 to 485 converter
or
2) 5V encoder etc

How much current we can drag from this power supply and also from 24V power supply of port.

Thanks in advance

Theoretically you can, but don't. This is not a power supply, it's there for regulating the communication voltage levels.
Power supplies exist for a reason.
