Features:
- The horizontal PPU combines SINUMERIK 828D CNC, PLC, HMI, and communication functions.
- Three DRIVE-CLiQ ports connect the control to its drive components.
- Separate plant and service Ethernet ports keep production networking distinct from commissioning access.
The 6FC5370-3AA30-0AA0 coordinates axis commands, PLC logic, operator interaction, and diagnostic data inside one panel processing unit.
PN1 and PN2 form the integrated PROFINET switch used for distributed I/O, while X130 connects the PPU to the plant network.
The 24 V DC input at X1 supplies the PPU electronics, and the documented load limit applies to the complete connected control assembly.
The Siemens 6FC5370-3AA30-0AA0 SINUMERIK 828D PPU 241.3 Horizontal CNC Panel Processing Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

How the PPU connects control hardware
- Drive link: Three DRIVE-CLiQ connectors exchange command and feedback data with the drive components.
- I/O network: PN1 and PN2 operate as the integrated PROFINET switch for distributed machine I/O.
- Serial path: The RS232C interface provides a separate connection for supported serial equipment.
- Local devices: USB interfaces accept supported local peripherals without using the plant Ethernet connection.
Separate paths for production and service
- X130: This Ethernet port links the controller to the plant network.
- X127: The service port gives commissioning access without sharing the PROFINET I/O ports.
- PN1/PN2: These ports forward real-time automation traffic through the integrated switch.
- Cable length: Each 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet segment is limited to the documented 100 m maximum.
Resources assigned to the machine program
- Turning configuration: The control allocates three axes or spindles for the documented turning configuration.
- Milling configuration: Four axes or spindles are available for the documented milling configuration.
- Expansion ceiling: The PPU supports no more than five axes or spindles in total.
- User storage: OEM and user data areas remain separate so machine data and customer programs do not share one allocation.
Boundaries for supply and expansion
- Power entry: Connector X1 accepts the 24 V DC supply used by the complete PPU electronics.
- Load current: Connected options must keep the supply path within the documented maximum current.
- I/O count: The hardware configuration accepts no more than three supported I/O modules.
- Panel orientation: The PPU 241.3 horizontal format determines its operator-panel installation direction.
