Siemens 6SL3040-1LA01-0AA0 SINAMICS S120 CU310-2 PN Control Unit
Single-axis SINAMICS S120 Control Unit with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and an integrated encoder interface.
01Overview
Siemens 6SL3040-1LA01-0AA0 is the SINAMICS S120 CU310-2 PN Control Unit for single-axis drive applications. It integrates PROFINET and EtherNet/IP communication, an onboard encoder interface for supported TTL, HTL or SSI feedback, configurable I/O and one DRIVE-CLiQ connection. The article is supplied without a CompactFlash card, so the correct SINAMICS firmware and license card must be selected separately for the intended drive configuration.
