How to Identify Your Siemens Spare Part Order Number

The exact order number is essential for accurate spare part identification in Siemens automation systems. This guide explains where to find it, how to read it, and what information to include when requesting a quotation. Always verify the number against your installed hardware or system documentation before submitting an inquiry.

Steps to Locate & Verify the Order Number

1. Check the Physical Label

Look for a white or silver label on the front or side of the module. The order number (e.g., 6ES7414-3FM07-0AB0) is usually printed below the barcode and starts with '6ES7'. Do not confuse it with serial numbers, firmware versions, or article numbers.

2. Match Against System Documentation

Cross-reference the order number with your system’s hardware configuration list, TIA Portal project, or commissioning report. For bundles like PCS 7 Single AS, confirm the full assembly code (e.g., 6ES7654-7HC00-0XA0) includes the correct CPU variant.

3. Note Required Configuration Details

For CPUs and bundles, record additional context: installed firmware version, required memory card, or whether the unit is part of a redundant system. This helps avoid compatibility issues during replacement.

Example: Reading an S7-400 CPU Label

On a CPU 414F-3 PN/DP (6ES7414-3FM07-0AB0), the order number appears clearly on the front panel. The format follows: 6ES7 [series] - [version] - [revision]. Always use the full string—including suffixes like '-0AB0'—as even minor changes can indicate different hardware revisions or certifications.

ET 200 SMART I/O Modules

Order number on top or side label (e.g., 6ES7288-4RM60-0AA0). Verify interface type (IM60 vs. IM155) and compatible I/O modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a similar-looking part if the order number doesn’t match exactly?

No. Siemens order numbers are precise identifiers. Even small differences (e.g., -0AB0 vs. -0BA0) may indicate different firmware, certifications, or hardware revisions. Always use the exact number from your installed unit.

What if the label is damaged or missing?

Refer to your system’s hardware configuration list, TIA Portal project archive, or maintenance logs. If unavailable, provide photos of the module and its position in the rack when submitting an inquiry.

Do you guarantee compatibility based on the order number?

We provide catalog data matching the order number you supply. Final compatibility must be verified by you against your installed system. We do not claim to be an authorized Siemens distributor or offer warranty coverage.

Should I include the serial number in my inquiry?

Only if specifically requested. The order number defines the product type; the serial number identifies a specific unit. For spare part sourcing, the order number is sufficient unless you’re reporting a failure under service contract.
