Siemens 6ES7416-3ES06-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-400 CPU 416-3 PN/DP
01Key Information
Siemens 6ES7416-3ES06-0AB0 is the firmware V6.0 generation of the SIMATIC S7-400 CPU 416-3 PN/DP. It provides 16 MB of work memory and combines an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface, an integrated Ethernet/PROFINET interface and an additional PROFIBUS DP interface position. The controller is designed for mixed central and distributed automation architectures where the STEP 7 hardware support, PROFINET configuration, PROFIBUS parameters and installed interface hardware are controlled together.
02Functions
Core Functions
- Executes large standard S7-400 control applications using 16 MB of integrated work memory.
- Supports MPI/PROFIBUS DP communication for programming, HMI, controller and distributed-I/O functions.
- Provides integrated Ethernet/PROFINET communication for IO-controller and industrial communication tasks.
- Supports an additional PROFIBUS DP path through the documented interface arrangement.
- Supports S7 routing and extended PROFINET diagnostics in the documented V6.0 generation.
- Coordinates central modules, PROFINET devices and PROFIBUS slaves within one engineered CPU project.

04Installation
- Match firmware V6.0, the STEP 7 hardware-support level and the original project before loading.
- Document X1 mode, MPI or PROFIBUS address, transmission rate and all configured stations.
- Preserve PROFINET device names, IP addresses, update times, topology and media-redundancy settings.
- Verify the exact additional PROFIBUS interface hardware and its bus configuration.
- Check every communications processor against Siemens compatibility records for this CPU and firmware.
- After exchange, test all central I/O, PROFINET IO, PROFIBUS devices, routing, diagnostics and application timing.
05Lifecycle
- This page describes the exact firmware V6.0 CPU generation; current Siemens service and order status should be confirmed.
- Do not copy the hardware configuration from the V7.0 article 6ES7416-3ES07-0AB0 without checking firmware and engineering differences.
- Archive the STEP 7 project, firmware package, memory-card image and all network records.
- A firmware or hardware-generation change requires regression testing of networks, diagnostics and the user program.
- Plan lifecycle work around the complete S7-400 station rather than the CPU article alone.
