Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The 6ES7195-0BH30-0XA0 is listed as NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). That means Siemens no longer supports new projects with this part, but it's still available for existing production lines and spares. If you're sourcing an order code for a running BOM, this is a valid pull – just quote to order against an RFQ rather than expecting a stocked shelf. Supplied in 1000-unit T&R, packaging dimensions 37.5 x 35.2 x 5.7 cm. RoHS compliant since 09-03-16, but contains lead above 0,1 % (w/w) per REACH candidate list; must be declared onward.
What it does
This is the ERTEC 200P – an ASIC that implements a PROFINET IO interface with an integrated ARM processor and a 2-port Ethernet switch plus PHY, running at 100 Mbit/s. It offloads real-time Ethernet stack handling from the host controller. The group code is R1DS, product group 4512. Export control is AL:N / ECCN:N, so no special license needed for most shipments. Product class B: return restricted – if you need to send one back, coordinate with your Siemens contact first.
