Siemens 6FC5371-0AA10-0AA2 SINUMERIK 840D sl NCU 710.2 CNC Hardware
01Product Profile
Siemens 6FC5371-0AA10-0AA2 is SINUMERIK 840D sl NCU 710.2 CNC hardware with an integrated PLC 317-2DP. The spare-part unit provides 3 MB of CNC user memory and 512 KB of PLC user memory and uses internal heat dissipation. Siemens safety documentation identifies the exact article as NCU 710.2 with PLC 317-2DP, so it should not be confused with NCU 720.2 or with later NCU 710.3 PN hardware.

03System Role
Control Function
- Executes CNC control functions in a compatible SINUMERIK 840D sl installation.
- Runs the integrated PLC 317-2DP program for machine sequencing and field coordination.
- Coordinates the configured drives, I/O, operator interface and machine communications.
- Provides the NCU 710.2 memory and cooling design required by the installed system.
- Serves as a spare-part core for machines that retain the NCU 7x0.2 generation.
Key Capabilities
- Combines the 840D sl CNC core and PLC 317-2DP in one numerical control unit.
- Three megabytes of CNC user memory support the documented NCU 710.2 control configuration.
- The integrated PLC provides 512 KB of user memory.
- Internal heat dissipation defines the cooling arrangement for the exact article.
- Official Siemens safety documentation identifies the full order number as NCU 710.2, preventing confusion with NCU 720.2.
- The hardware supports the established NCU 7x0.2 system architecture and its documented interfaces and terminal assignments.
04Compatibility
- Match the complete 6FC5371-0AA10-0AA2 order number and NCU 710.2 designation.
- Confirm the installed SINUMERIK CNC software release, CompactFlash card, licenses and machine archive.
- Verify PLC 317-2DP configuration, PROFIBUS parameters, I/O addressing and bus termination.
- Retain the documented NCU 7x0.2 terminal assignment; NCU 7x0.3 terminal assignments differ.
- Confirm the internal heat-dissipation arrangement and required cabinet airflow.
- Do not treat NCU 720.2 or NCU 710.3 PN as drop-in replacements without a complete migration review.
05Applications
- Spare-part replacement in compatible SINUMERIK 840D sl NCU 710.2 systems.
- Maintenance of CNC machines using an integrated PLC 317-2DP architecture.
- Restoration of NC and PLC processing after a diagnosed NCU failure.
- Lifecycle stock for installed NCU 7x0.2 controls.
- Service work where CNC and PLC user-memory levels must match the existing project.
- Migration assessment that begins with a complete backup of software, licenses, PLC, NC and drive data.
06FAQ
What is Siemens 6FC5371-0AA10-0AA2?
