Evidence ledger

Facts, inferences, and unknowns are kept separate.

Facts

  • Siemens identifies 6FC5356-0BB11-0AE1 as a SINUMERIK 840D NCU 561.3.

    Confidence: high

  • Processes CNC, PLC, and communication tasks for a SINUMERIK 840D machine

    Confidence: high

Inferences

  • Acts as the SINUMERIK 840D CPU between control programs and connected machine subsystems

    Confidence: medium

    Rationale: The exact-reference description and documented system function establish the adjacent stages.
