Product Description
The Siemens 6FC5357-0BB23-0AE0 is a compact Numerical Control Unit (NCU 572.3E) engineered for the SINUMERIK 840D/DE CNC platform. This control unit integrates motion control, PLC functionality, and industrial communication interfaces into a single module, delivering precise, deterministic performance for multi-axis machining applications.
Powered by an Intel Celeron M 600 MHz processor, the unit offers high-speed execution of control commands and smooth coordination of complex motion sequences. It features 3 MB NC memory for motion programs, 128 MB DRAM, and 8 MB SRAM, ensuring reliable system operation. The embedded S7-300 PLC (317-2 DP) with 128 KB memory provides automation logic for integrated machine control. PROFIBUS DP preparation allows seamless connectivity to industrial networks, and the unit meets IEC 61508 functional safety standards for secure and dependable operation.
Although discontinued by Siemens in 2015, the 6FC5357-0BB23-0AE0 remains suitable for maintaining legacy CNC systems. For new installations, Siemens recommends upgrading to NCU 573.5B or NCU 720.3B PN units, while spare parts and repair services are still available for older machines.
