Siemens 6ES7212-1BA01-0XB0 Simatic S7-300 IO Module

6ES7212-1BA01-0XB0 is a Siemens SIMATIC S7-200 CPU 212 Compact Unit, a compact PLC module designed for small automation tasks within the S7-200 family. It provides eight digital inputs (8DI) and six digital outputs (6DQ) with relay outputs, all on a single compact unit, and offers 512 program statements and 512 data words for on-board logic and data handling. This CPU 212 module enables straightforward local control and sensor interfacing for simple sequencing, relay control, and basic automation tasks in standalone configurations or compact distributed setups. The product is listed as discontinued by Siemens; Industry Mall records designate it as “Product to be discontinued,” with distributor references noting discontinuation around October 1, 2013. As a legacy device, it remains relevant primarily for repair, maintenance, or retrofitting of existing S7-200 installations where the 212 compact CPU is already in use.
