Product description

Siemens 6FC5357-0BA20-0AE0 is a Numerical Control Unit NCU 572 for the SINUMERIK 840D CNC system. As the central processing unit of the control, the NCU combines an NC CPU and a PLC CPU, executes the NC program and maintains communication with drives, operator components and machine peripherals. It is therefore a central replacement module for older machine tools, machining centres and production systems whose control architecture remains based on SINUMERIK 840D and SIMODRIVE 611D. Siemens specifies a standard configuration with two channels and eight axes for NCU 572/573; the usable scope depends on the hardware version, system software and licensed options. The module provides operator panel front interface X101 with MPI at 1.5 MBaud, PROFIBUS DP at X102 and programming device interface X122 with MPI at 187.5 kBaud. Further connections serve the SIMATIC-S7-I/O bus, handwheels, touch probes and NC I/O, SIMODRIVE 611D, the device bus and the PCMCIA Memory Card. Status and fault displays as well as switches for NCK and PLC commissioning support service and diagnostics. Inside the intended NCU box, the system provides IP20 protection; without the enclosure it is IP00. Before replacement, secure and compare the complete MLFB, printed hardware version, installed Memory Card, NCK/PLC archive, machine and drive data, software version, options and bus addresses. Similar NCU-571, NCU-572 and NCU-573 versions are not interchangeable merely because their front connectors look alike. The documented interfaces provide the necessary framework for service access, peripheral connection and restoration of the installed communication. Precise comparison protects the existing machine configuration and supports planned recommissioning after a control failure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Contact us
What is the function of Siemens 6FC5357-0BA20-0AE0?

The NCU 572 is the central processing unit of a SINUMERIK-840D control. It contains the NC and PLC CPUs, processes the NC program and communicates with drives, operator components and machine peripherals.

What must be considered when replacing an NCU 572?

The complete MLFB, hardware version, system software, Memory Card, NCK/PLC archive, axis and channel options, bus addresses and machine and drive data are decisive. Similar NCU versions are not automatically interchangeable.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, we provide a 14-day functional guarantee for used items. This means the component must be operational when received.

Please note that the guarantee only applies when the warranty seal is undamaged.

If a defect occurs within 14 calendar days, please contact us in writing. Subject to availability, we will provide a replacement or refund the full purchase price after return.

Further details are provided in the terms and conditions supplied with your quotation.

How quickly do you dispatch and which shipping options are available?

We generally dispatch immediately - in many cases on the same working day. For particularly urgent requirements or machine downtime, we find a suitable solution as quickly as possible and provide a specific delivery window on request.

Express shipping or collection from our premises is also possible, depending on the situation. State your requirements during the ordering process or contact us directly.

We ship worldwide and work with reliable shipping partners, from parcel services to freight forwarding. Freight shipments normally require some preparation so the goods arrive safely and undamaged.

Which payment methods are available?

Payment is normally made by bank transfer against invoice. Payment is due within 10 calendar days of receiving the goods.

As a rule, we offer purchase on account for all customers. In individual cases, such as new customers or particularly high-value components, we may agree advance payment. This decision is made individually and communicated transparently.

Can we return items if they were ordered incorrectly?

Because we sell exclusively to business customers (B2B), there is no general right of return and no consumer right of withdrawal.

Please note that returns of functioning goods are generally excluded. In justified exceptional cases, we can assess an individual solution, but this is not the standard procedure.

Is there a discount when ordering several items?

For larger order quantities or several items of one type, we can offer individual discounts.

Simply send us a quick enquiry - we check availability and will gladly prepare a tailored quotation with quantity pricing.

Do you also purchase industrial spare parts?

Yes, we also purchase automation components, such as frequency inverters, PLC assemblies, panels, servo motors and CPUs. Components from Siemens, Lenze, Schneider Electric, Control Techniques or Heidenhain are especially sought after, and other brands are also possible.

The process is straightforward: email us an inventory list or overview photos at info@reha-industriekomponenten.de. We calculate a market-based purchase price and send you an offer.
