Multi-Axis Drive Control Solution – SIEMENS 6SL3351-6TE32-6AA3 | SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 DP
Where This Product Is Used
The SIEMENS 6SL3351-6TE32-6AA3 (CU320-2 DP) is a high-performance central control unit designed for coordinated multi-axis drive systems. It is widely deployed in the following industrial environments:
- Automotive Manufacturing Lines – Synchronizing servo axes on body-in-white welding stations, transfer presses, and assembly conveyors where sub-millisecond axis coordination is mandatory.
- Paper & Printing Machines – Maintaining precise tension and register control across multiple driven rolls and nip points in continuous-web processes.
- Metal Rolling Mills – Coordinating roughing and finishing stands with dynamic speed matching to prevent strip breaks and ensure gauge accuracy.
- Packaging & Filling Lines – Driving servo-controlled forming, filling, and sealing axes in high-speed VFFS and HFFS machines.
- Crane & Hoist Systems – Managing hoist, travel, and cross-travel drives with safe torque-off (STO) integration for overhead crane applications.
- Textile & Fiber Processing – Controlling winding, unwinding, and draw-roll axes in yarn spinning and weaving machinery.
- Machine Tool & CNC Centers – Serving as the drive-level controller for spindle and feed-axis drives in machining centers integrated with SINUMERIK CNCs.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Centralized Multi-Axis Architecture – One CU320-2 DP manages up to 6 drive objects, reducing cabinet footprint and wiring complexity versus distributed single-axis solutions.
- PROFIBUS DP Native Integration – Seamless cyclic and acyclic communication with SIMATIC S7 PLCs, eliminating gateway hardware and reducing cycle-time jitter.
- DRIVE-CLiQ Topology – Automatic component recognition and parameterization of motors, encoders, and power modules via a single cable, cutting commissioning time significantly.
- Integrated Safety (Safety Integrated Level 2) – STO, SS1, SLS, and SDI functions certified to SIL 2 / PLd without external safety relays, lowering BOM cost and panel space.
- Scalable Firmware Platform – Shares the SINAMICS S120 firmware ecosystem, enabling engineers to reuse drive projects across different power classes and topologies.
- Proven Field Reliability – Deployed globally in millions of axis-hours across automotive, metals, and process industries with documented MTBF exceeding 100,000 hours.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the CU320-2 DP replace a CU320-2 PN in an existing cabinet?
A: Not directly. The CU320-2 DP uses PROFIBUS DP while the CU320-2 PN uses PROFINET. A fieldbus infrastructure change is required. Contact us to discuss migration options.
Q: How many axes can one 6SL3351-6TE32-6AA3 control?
A: Up to 6 drive objects (axes) in a booksize topology. For more axes, a second CU320-2 DP or an upgrade to CU320-2 PN with isochronous PROFINET is recommended.
Q: Is a CompactFlash card included?
A: The CF card (6SL3054-0EJ00-1BA0) is sold separately. We recommend ordering it together to ensure firmware version compatibility.
Q: What STARTER / Startdrive version is required?
A: STARTER V5.4 SP1 or later, or SINAMICS Startdrive V16 or later. Always match firmware on the CF card to your engineering tool version.
Q: Do you provide warranty?
A: Yes. All units carry a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty claims are processed within 5 business days.
