Siemens 6DP1232-8BA (FUM232) Temperature Input Module

Product Description

The 6DP1232-8BA is Siemens FUM232 temperature measurement module for Teleperm XP (TXP) DCS system, widely used in power plant control. It supports RTD and thermocouple signal conditioning, can handle up to 14 Pt100 (4-wire) or 28 thermocouple inputs. It performs cold junction compensation, wire break detection and range monitoring, and can be configured for redundant operation. It plugs into the FUM subrack and communicates with the AS620 automation unit.

FAQ

Q: What system is FUM232 6DP1232-8BA used for?
A: It is dedicated for Siemens Teleperm XP (TXP), the classic power plant DCS platform.

Q: Can it read both RTD and thermocouple at the same time?
A: No, the module must be configured as either Pt100 mode or thermocouple mode, not mixed.

Q: Is this module discontinued?
A: Yes, TXP series is end-of-life, only available as surplus, refurbished spare parts.

Q: What is the difference between FUM232 and FUM210?
A: FUM232 is temperature input (RTD/TC); FUM210 (6DP1210-8BC) is binary digital input module.
