Siemens 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1 | SINAMICS S120 CU310 DP

Overview

6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1 is a SINAMICS S120 Control Unit CU310 DP from Siemens, designed for single-axis servo and positioning applications. It features a PROFIBUS DP interface for integration into industrial automation networks.

The control unit operates with a 24 V DC power supply and supports high-performance drive control with integrated Safety Integrated functions. It is designed for modular motion control systems requiring precision, flexibility, and scalability. This model is delivered without a CompactFlash card, which must be ordered separately.

Compared to the earlier version 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA0, this AA1 variant features an additional second temperature channel (T2), which can be connected via the X23 Sub-D socket for KTY or PTC temperature sensors, enabling more comprehensive motor temperature monitoring.

Features

Control & connectivity

  • Single-axis control — Optimized for servo and positioning applications requiring high dynamic performance.
  • PROFIBUS DP communication — Integrated PROFIBUS interface for seamless integration into distributed control systems.
  • DRIVE-CLiQ interface — Enables communication with SINAMICS S120 power modules and other DRIVE-CLiQ components.

Temperature monitoring & functionality

  • Dual temperature channels — Two independent temperature channels (T1 via X120, T2 via X23) allow simultaneous monitoring of motor and other drive components.
  • Safety Integrated — Supports extended safety functions including STO (Safe Torque Off), SLS, SS1, and SBC.
  • CompactFlash card — Firmware and parameters stored on a removable CF card, simplifying module replacement without re-commissioning.

Lifecycle

Active available as standard product — fully supported

Product status: The 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1 remains an active, supported product in Siemens' SINAMICS S120 portfolio. It is the recommended single-axis control unit for applications requiring PROFIBUS DP communication.

Firmware compatibility: This control unit supports firmware version V2.5 SP1 and higher, with enhanced features including the second temperature channel via X23.

Replacement & migration:

Replacement considerations: When replacing a 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1, consider the following:
  • This model is the successor to 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA0, adding a second temperature channel and improved firmware support.
  • When replacing an AA0 version, ensure the CF card is transferred to the new unit. The AA1 version supports additional features with compatible firmware.
  • For new installations, the CU310 DP remains a recommended solution for single-axis PROFIBUS-controlled applications.

Recommendation: For single-axis PROFIBUS DP applications, the 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1 remains the recommended control unit solution.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA0 and 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1?

6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1 is the upgraded version of the CU310 DP, featuring an additional second temperature channel (T2) via the X23 Sub-D socket, which allows simultaneous monitoring of two temperature sensors (e.g., motor and drive). The AA0 version only has one temperature channel.

Q2: Does the 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1 include a CompactFlash card?

No. The control unit is delivered without a CF card . The CF card must be ordered separately and contains the firmware and parameter settings required for operation.

Q3: What communication interfaces does the CU310 DP provide?

It provides PROFIBUS DP for communication with the higher-level control system, and one DRIVE-CLiQ interface for connecting to SINAMICS S120 power modules and other DRIVE-CLiQ components.

Q4: What is the recommended firmware version for the 6SL3040-0LA00-0AA1?

The second temperature channel (T2) is available from firmware version V2.5 SP1 onward. Earlier firmware versions may not support this feature.

Q5: Can this control unit be used for multi-axis applications?

The CU310 DP is designed as a single-axis control unit. For multi-axis applications, Siemens recommends the CU320-2 control unit (6SL3040-1MA00-0AA0 for DP or 6SL3040-1MA01-0AA0 for PN).
