Lifecycle & Sourcing
The 6ES7212-1HF42-4YB1: Product status is Active per Siemens lifecycle data. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is effective. The kit can be quoted to order against an RFQ with typical lead times for the S7-1200 family. Its fixed content avoids multi-line procurement risks; if a buyer needs individual modules, separate order codes exist, but as a single-line item this kit simplifies sourcing for a safety-starter configuration.
Integration Note
The CPU 1214 FC carries DC supply, DC inputs, and relay outputs—appropriate for safety circuits that need galvanic isolation on the load side. The SM 1226 modules plug into the backplane; no separate wiring for safety communication is required. The Systainer packaging is travel-ready for field deployment or lab setup.
