Features:
- The vertical PPU combines CNC, PLC, display, and axis-control functions in one panel unit.
- Three DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces and a PROFINET PLC I/O path separate drive communication from distributed signals.
- An 8.4-inch display, full CNC keyboard, and sixteen softkey positions form the local operator interface.
Control execution and operator interaction share the PPU hardware, reducing the number of separate control assemblies at the machine panel.
User NVRAM retains application data, while the drive and I/O interfaces exchange real-time information with their respective system components.
The enclosure divides environmental protection between the sealed front and the cabinet-protected rear connections.
The Siemens 6FC5370-4AA30-0AA0 SINUMERIK 828D PPU 240.3 Vertical CNC Control Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Control Functions in One Panel Unit
- Numerical control: The PPU executes CNC functions and coordinates up to five axes or spindles.
- PLC execution: An integrated PLC processes machine logic with the SIMATIC S7-200 command set.
- Operator channel: Display, CNC keyboard, and softkeys share the same panel-side control path.
- Nonvolatile data: OEM and user NVRAM retain machine and user information required by the control.
Vertical Display and Key Arrangement
- Screen: The 8.4-inch 800x600 display presents CNC screens, alarms, and operating data.
- Keyboard: A vertical full CNC keyboard provides direct machine and program entry.
- Softkeys: Eight horizontal and eight vertical softkeys select context-dependent screen functions.
- Front boundary: The closed front cover maintains IP65 at the operator-facing side.
Paths to Drives and Distributed Signals
- DRIVE-CLiQ: Three interfaces exchange drive-control data with the approved SINAMICS drive system.
- PLC I/O: The PROFINET-based PLC interface carries distributed machine input and output data.
- Ethernet: Network ports provide engineering, diagnostics, and system communication paths.
- USB: Front and rear USB connections accept the defined removable media and service devices.
Electrical and Enclosure Boundaries
- DC input: The panel electronics operate from 24 V DC within the permitted supply range.
- Power demand: Maximum active power and internal power loss define the cabinet supply and heat load.
- Rear boundary: The IP20 rear connections remain protected inside the machine enclosure.
- Temperature split: Separate front and rear operating limits reflect their different exposure conditions.
