03Features
Key Functions
- Executes LAD, FBD and SCL user programs for compact automation.
- Integrated high-speed counters and four pulse outputs support counting and positioning tasks within documented limits.
- Two analog inputs and two analog outputs support basic process-signal integration without separate modules.
- Two PROFINET ports support controller and device functions in the engineered network.
- PID, web-server, trace, diagnostics and access-protection functions support operation and maintenance.
- The controller can be expanded with a signal board, signal modules and communication modules within Siemens configuration limits.
Product Identity
- Manufacturer: Siemens
- Model: 6ES7215-1AG40-0XB0
- Product Type: SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU 1215C DC/DC/DC
- Page Status: New HTML preview
04Compatibility
- Confirm the current STEP 7 release for the installed CPU firmware before opening or downloading the project.
- Match the DC/DC/DC electrical design; AC-supply or relay-output CPU variants are not direct wiring replacements.
- Verify signal modules, communication modules, signal board, HMI, drives, PROFINET devices, memory card and security settings.
- This is a standard CPU 1215C and must not be used as a safety-equivalent substitute for CPU 1215FC.
- Preserve the IP configuration, PROFINET device name, module layout, technology objects, passwords and retentive data.
05Replacement & Lifecycle
- The current Siemens record lists the product as active and shows a phase-out date of 1 November 2026. Recheck the current status when ordering.
- Back up the complete TIA Portal project and document the firmware, memory card, module layout, network configuration and wiring.
- Review program-memory utilization and software compatibility before moving an older project to the current CPU release.
- A change to S7-1200 G2 or another CPU family requires an engineered migration rather than a part-number substitution.
- After replacement, verify diagnostics, digital and analog I/O, PROFINET, HMI, drives, technology functions, alarms, interlocks and machine sequence.
06Applications
Typical Uses
- Compact machine and process control with integrated DC I/O.
- Packaging, conveying, material handling, pump, fan and skid automation.
- Networked automation with PROFINET I/O, HMI and drives.
- Counting, pulse-output, positioning and PID applications within the documented limits.
Selection Boundary
- Match the complete article number and DC/DC/DC electrical design.
- Confirm memory, I/O, communication, firmware and engineering-software requirements.
- Use a fail-safe CPU when the application requires certified safety functions.
