SINUMERIK 840D sl – Product discontinuation as of 01/10/2024

On October 1, 2024, Siemens announced the product discontinuation of the SINUMERIK 840D sl. From that date, more than 650 assemblies will only be available as spare parts. With EICHLER, plant operators remain on the safe side even after the product discontinuation. 

What does the product discontinuation of the SINUMERIK 840D sl mean?

The SINUMERIK 840D sl will transition to product status P.M410 as of October 1, 2024. This means that the controllers and their components will only be available as spare parts, and no new parts will be supplied. The product discontinuation follows 20 years of successful use on the market. 

With the introduction of SINUMERIK ONE, Siemens has provided a modern successor that not only offers higher performance and innovative features, but also the advantage of compatibility with the 840D sl. SINUMERIK ONE stands out for its ability to integrate the digital twin, which increases efficiency in machine manufacturing and boosts productivity. 

Which SINUMERIK 840D sl products are affected?

As of October 1, 2024, the following SINUMERIK 840D sl controllers and components will only be available as spare parts: 

NameArticle number Status as of 01/10/2024Successor

NCU 730.3B mit PLC 3196FC5373-0AA31-0AB0P.M410 (discontinuation)SINUMERIK ONE

 

These products will no longer be available as new parts after the discontinuation. In total, more than 650 assemblies are affected by this product status change. Siemens offers SINUMERIK ONE as the successor, featuring better performance, simplified programming, and extended functions. 

What role does EICHLER play after the product discontinuation?

EICHLER GmbH will be an important partner for many companies in the maintenance and repair of SINUMERIK 840D sl controllers. Since the SINUMERIK 840D sl will no longer be available as a new part from October 2024, access to spare parts and fast repairs will be crucial for maintenance personnel and technicians to ensure continued system availability.

EICHLER offers specialised repair service and spare parts procurement that make it possible to extend the service life of existing SINUMERIK 840D sl systems. This allows existing systems to continue in use without the need for costly new investments. 

Siemens is expected to provide spare parts for the SINUMERIK 840D sl for a period of up to ten years after P.M410, that is until 2034. After that, support will be discontinued. 

Yes, the SINUMERIK ONE is the direct successor. It offers higher performance, greater flexibility, and supports the digital twin for improved productivity. 

EICHLER GmbH will support maintenance teams and purchasing departments in continuing to operate SINUMERIK 840D sl systems efficiently through repairs and spare parts services. In addition, EICHLER assists with the integration of successor solutions such as the SINUMERIK ONE. 

Conclusion: Is it worth switching to the SINUMERIK ONE?

The SINUMERIK ONE is the logical step following the discontinuation of the SINUMERIK 840D sl. With its higher performance and the integration of modern digital functions, it will play a key role in the future of machine tool control systems. For companies wishing to operate their existing systems for longer, EICHLER provides the right services to extend the service life of SINUMERIK 840D sl controllers through repairs and spare parts.

Since 2015, I have been working in marketing at EICHLER GmbH. Right at the start, I soldered a submitted S5 CPU module labeled “Made in Western Germany.” This experience sparked my enthusiasm for sustainability and repair in automation technology. Until 2024, I served as editor-in-chief of the customer magazine "News from maintenance", passionately reporting on people and solutions in industrial maintenance. In the new digital magazine, I now focus on Product Change Notifications (PCN) and Product Discontinuation Notifications (PDN).
