        Features:

        • 6DL3100-8AC gathers mixed analog, digital, and counting signals for the Add 7 front end.
        • Dual PROFIBUS DP connections carry cyclic process data, parameters, and diagnostics to the host system.
        • Programming in RUN and selectable input filtering let signal preparation change without replacing the field wiring.
        Siemens 6DL3100-8AC sits between the process terminals and the Add 7 automation host, converting field signals into configured data objects.

        Its X4–X7 connectors keep analog, digital, pulse, and output wiring on defined terminal groups.

        The redundant bus and output arrangement of 6DL3100-8AC coordinates data exchange and handover when the station is engineered for redundant operation.

        The Siemens 6DL3100-8AC AddFEM Native Front End Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

        Field Signals Enter Through Separate Electrical Groups

        • Flexible analog group: Six channels accept the configured current or voltage signal type
        • Current-only group: Six additional channels preserve a dedicated current-input path
        • Discrete path: Digital inputs and configurable digital outputs exchange on/off process states
        • Pulse path: Three counting inputs capture edge-based signals independently of ordinary digital scanning

        Cyclic Data and Parameter Changes Use Different Services

        • Cyclic exchange: PROFIBUS DP carries the recurring process image between the AddFEM and its host
        • Acyclic access: DPV1 transfers supported parameters and detailed diagnostic records
        • RUN adjustment: Approved settings can be changed while the module continues process acquisition
        • Host identity: The selected GSD file must correspond to the SPPA-T3000, PCS 7, or FM 458 integration

        Parallel Hardware Requires Symmetrical Engineering

        • Paired modules: Both AddFEM sides receive equivalent process and host assignments
        • Output connection: Redundant outputs are wired in the documented parallel arrangement
        • State coordination: The redundancy link keeps partner operating information available for handover
        • Commissioning rule: Nonmatching channel configuration or field wiring prevents a controlled transfer

        Power and Process Connectors Form Separate Boundaries

        • Module supply: The 24 V DC electronics load is accounted separately from connected field loads
        • Load supply: Output circuits can draw from the documented 8 A load-current allowance
        • Process terminals: X4 through X7 route the assigned analog, digital, and pulse channels
        • Communication side: X3A and X3B carry the dual PROFIBUS connections outside the field-terminal groups
        Description
        Within the Add 7 architecture, Siemens 6DL3100-8AC is the native AddFEM front end module used to bring fast process signals into the automation system. The module acquires analog values, digital states, and counting pulses, performs the configured signal preparation, and transfers the resulting data through PROFIBUS DP.

        Process wiring reaches 6DL3100-8AC through connectors X4 to X7. Six analog inputs accept current or voltage, another six are current-only, eight analog outputs return controlled values, and the digital and pulse channels handle discrete states and counting signals without merging those electrical roles.

        Two PROFIBUS connectors at X3A and X3B give 6DL3100-8AC redundant bus access, while DPV1 services carry parameter changes and diagnostic information. The module supports programming in RUN, selectable interference-frequency filters, and the host-specific GSD assignment required by SPPA-T3000, PCS 7, or an FM 458 configuration.

        Redundant 6DL3100-8AC modules can operate with parallel outputs and a coordinated handover when both sides use the required symmetrical I/O arrangement. The electronics and connected loads share a 24 V DC source boundary but have separate documented current demands, so cabinet design must account for module consumption, load current, inrush, buffering, and heat dissipation.

        Technical notes
        Siemens 6DL3100-8AC requires the GSD file assigned to its host platform. Module electronics, field loads, redundant outputs, and symmetrical I/O must be checked as separate cabinet-design boundaries.

        FAQS

        The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
        VIEW ALL FAQS
        How should the 24 V DC supply be sized for 6DL3100-8AC?
        Allow separately for the 6DL3100-8AC module current, the connected load current, inrush, at least 10 ms buffering, and the documented 33 W maximum power loss.
        Which GSD file should be used with 6DL3100-8AC?
        Choose the 6DL3100-8AC GSD defined for the actual host: SiT680A3 for SPPA-T3000, Si0580A3 for PCS 7, or SiF080A3 for the FM 458 integration.
        Can every analog input on 6DL3100-8AC accept voltage signals?
        No. Only six 6DL3100-8AC analog inputs accept current or voltage; the other six are current-only, so terminal assignments must follow the configured channel group.
        Which filter should be selected when 6DL3100-8AC readings fluctuate?
        Match the 6DL3100-8AC interference-frequency filter to the measured noise source and process dynamics; stronger filtering changes signal response and should not be applied blindly.
        What prevents a clean redundancy handover between two 6DL3100-8AC modules?
        A 6DL3100-8AC pair requires matching configuration, symmetrical I/O, the documented redundancy connection, and correct parallel output wiring before handover can operate as designed.
        Why should the hardware revision be checked when pairing 6DL3100-8AC modules?
        Confirm that both 6DL3100-8AC units meet the partner-revision requirements in the AddFEM documentation before building or restoring a redundant pair.
