Features:
- The PPU 260.3 uses a vertical operator-panel arrangement.
- A 10.4-inch TFT sits alongside the integrated CNC keys and softkeys.
- Rear ports separate drive links, PLC I/O traffic, and plant Ethernet.
The PPU combines the visible operator surface with the processing hardware used by the SINUMERIK 828D control architecture.
This exact order number is for a unit without system software; a software-and-license CompactFlash order is separately listed in the Siemens ordering table.
Different rear ports serve different destination devices, so cable planning must follow their labeled functions rather than connector shape alone.
The Siemens 6FC5370-6AA30-0AA0 SINUMERIK 828D PPU 260.3 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.
Operator Surface
- Orientation: This order number identifies the vertical PPU 260.3 housing.
- Screen: The color display shows the CNC operating areas and menu choices.
- Softkeys: Two groups of eight keys call functions shown beside them on screen.
- Keyboard: The integrated QWERTY and numeric keys provide direct text and value input.
Drive and NC Signal Paths
- DRIVE-CLiQ: X100 through X102 provide the designated drive-system communication connections.
- Drive I/O: X122 and X132 carry assigned digital drive inputs and outputs.
- NC I/O: X242 and X252 are separate digital NC connection points on the rear.
- Separation: Drive communications and discrete I/O are not interchangeable wiring functions.
Machine-Control Network
- PN1 and PN2: These ports establish the PROFINET-based PLC I/O communication network.
- Machine panel: A listed machine-control panel joins this network through its intended connection.
- I/O modules: PLC I/O devices connect on the same designated interface network.
- Separate Ethernet: X130 addresses the plant network rather than acting as a PN1/PN2 I/O port.
External Supply and Cabinet Connections
- Supply entry: X1 is the terminal block for the external 24 V DC feed.
- Return: The X1 assignment includes M as the supply return.
- Protective earth: PE has its own terminal assignment.
- Service USB: The rear X135 USB interface is marked for service purposes only.
