Is the Siemens 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0 being discontinued?
On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0 is in phase-out: still orderable for now, but on its way out.
Source: ECS lifecycle assessment, based on ECS's internal lifecycle data in Command Centre. Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.
What Phase Out means for you
The manufacturer is retiring the part, but you can still buy it. Nothing needs ripping out. Four things are worth doing while it is still easy: find every unit you run, make sure you know where each one is, decide whether to hold spares, and price the move.
Before replacing a communications module
A communications module can stop a much larger part of the machine than its size suggests. We would document the protocol, node or IP addressing, rack configuration, connected devices and every PLC, HMI or SCADA dependency that references it.
If the migration changes network technology, the scope has to include the equipment at the other end of that link as well as the module itself. Capturing the topology now turns a future fault into a controlled network change rather than a discovery exercise.

Common questions about the 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0
Is the Siemens 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0 being discontinued?
On ECS's lifecycle assessment, the 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0 is in phase-out: still orderable for now, but on its way out.
Can I still buy a 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0?
Yes, through normal channels during the phase-out period. It is the cheapest point to buy any spares you want to hold.
Know where every unit is before one fails.
A Capture audit finds every 6ES7360-3AA01-0AA0 on your site, photographs it where it sits and checks it against manufacturer lifecycle status, so you know your exposure and where your spares are before a failure stops a line.
- Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
- Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
- No production downtime
