Siemens Micro Memory Card MMC SIMATIC S7 ET 200 Distributed I/O System 6ES7953-8LJ31-0AA0
The 6ES7953-8LJ31-0AA0 is a SIMATIC S7 Micro Memory Card (MMC) manufactured by Siemens. It is designed for use with SIMATIC S7-300 PLC systems, C7 devices, and ET 200 distributed I/O systems. The card stores the user program, configuration data, and retentive data required for the PLC’s operation.
This memory card uses non-volatile flash technology, meaning stored data remains intact even when power is removed. It is typically inserted into the PLC CPU to enable program loading and data storage in automation applications.
The part is considered a spare part and has been discontinued, with Siemens recommending the successor model 6ES7953-8LJ31-0AA0.
