Siemens 6ES7215-1HF40-0XB0 SIMATIC S7-1200F CPU 1215FC
01Product Identification
Siemens 6ES7215-1HF40-0XB0 is a fail-safe SIMATIC S7-1200F CPU 1215FC with two PROFINET ports, a 24 V DC supply, ten relay outputs, fourteen digital inputs, two analog inputs, two analog outputs and 250 KB of work memory. It provides a larger integrated I/O and memory configuration than the CPU 1214FC while retaining a compact form factor. Standard and safety programming, firmware, F-I/O, network and machine-validation requirements must be treated as one controlled replacement package.

03Functions
Operational Functions
- Combines standard and fail-safe control in a CPU with 250 KB of work memory.
- Provides two-port PROFINET communication for the engineered automation network.
- Includes fourteen digital inputs, ten relay outputs, two analog inputs and two analog outputs.
- Relay outputs allow switching of suitable AC or DC loads within the documented ratings and grouping limits.
- Integrated diagnostics, trace, web and security functions support operation and maintenance.
- Supports the documented fail-safe programming workflow when used with approved software and F-I/O.
Identification
- Manufacturer: Siemens
- Model: 6ES7215-1HF40-0XB0
- Product Type: SIMATIC S7-1200F CPU 1215FC DC/DC/relay
- Status: Active fail-safe CPU
04Applications
Use Cases
- Fail-safe compact machines with integrated relay and analog I/O.
- Packaging, handling, conveying and process skids with networked safety functions.
- PROFINET automation requiring two integrated Ethernet ports.
- Controlled replacement of an installed CPU 1215FC with the same electrical variant.
Compatibility Boundary
- Match the exact CPU 1215FC DC/DC/relay article and installed firmware.
- Confirm STEP 7, safety package, F-I/O modules, F-signature, passwords and safety-acceptance records.
- Verify the two-port PROFINET topology, device name, IP settings, HMI, drives and distributed I/O.
- Match all signal boards, signal modules, communication modules, wiring groups and analog ranges.
- A standard CPU 1215C or transistor-output F-CPU is not an automatic replacement.
05Lifecycle
- The current Siemens record lists this CPU as an active product, with lifecycle planning required as the S7-1200 portfolio evolves.
- Confirm the current commercial phase and firmware support when ordering.
- Back up standard and safety projects, network settings and all retentive data.
- Document the F-signature, acceptance baseline, I/O layout, safety parameters and memory card.
- After installation, perform the prescribed functional-safety validation plus complete standard I/O and network testing.
