Features:
- Adds time-critical analog and digital I/O to the FM 458-1 DP.
- Accepts incremental encoders together with SSI or EnDat absolute encoders.
- Provides four 16-bit and four 12-bit analog output channels.
The EXM 438-1 occupies one plug-in position on the FM 458-1 DP and exchanges signals directly with that application module.
Its channel groups cover discrete states, differential voltage measurements, voltage commands, and encoder position data without assigning all signals the same conversion path.
External 24 V power supports the field-side circuitry, while the module also uses the internal 5 V supply from the host assembly.
The Siemens 6DD1607-0CA1 EXM 438-1 I/O Expansion Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Supports torque, speed, positioning and position-control loops in converter-fed drive systems.
- Provides fast process signals for winders, tension-control equipment and coordinated multi-motor drives.
- Interfaces high-dynamic press hydraulics, cross cutters, flying saws and drive test stands.
- The module is an optional plug-in I/O expansion for the SIMATIC S7-400 FM 458-1 DP application module.
- Up to two approved expansion modules can be combined with one FM 458-1 DP assembly.
- The EXM 438-1 is not spare-part compatible with the earlier EXM438 and requires a configuration-level replacement review.
- CFC provides free configuration of high-performance control and technology tasks, with optional SFC sequencing.
- Digital, analog and encoder resources are assigned through the FM 458-1 DP application configuration.
- Signal scaling and channel behavior must match the corresponding function blocks and plant wiring.
- The expansion occupies one plug-in position on the FM 458-1 DP and exchanges process signals directly with the host.
- External 24 VDC power is required for the documented field-side signal groups in addition to the internal 5 V supply.
- Approved interface cables and terminal modules must be selected for the required analog, digital or encoder connection.
