ASM SIPLACE 03096377 is the X-FCU V2 feeder control unit used in the machine-side component-supply system of SIPLACE TX and X-Series platforms. Service documentation identifies the unit as the 40 MHz X-FCU V2, distinguishing it from the later 80 MHz X-FCU V3 generation.
The X-FCU is not an individual feeder PCB. It is a machine-level control unit serving the feeder-side system, including feeder control and related machine functions around the feeder table, nozzle changer and tape-handling system. This makes 03096377 an important control assembly when several feeder-side functions are affected at the same machine level.
03096377 X-FCU Specifications
| Part Number | 03096377 / 03096377-xx |
| Part Type | X-FCU Feeder Control Unit |
| X-FCU Generation | V2 |
| Control Frequency | 40 MHz |
| Machine Platform | SIPLACE TX / X-Series |
| Installation Level | Machine-side feeder control system |
| Documented Control Area | Feeder-side functions, nozzle changer and related tape-handling functions |
| Later Version | 03170613S01 — X-FCU V3, 80 MHz |
| Successor Status | 03170613S01 is documented as replacing 03096377-xx |
| Service Decision | Separate FCU power, communication and peripheral faults before replacing the complete unit |
When several feeders or related feeder-table functions stop responding, the complete X-FCU should not be replaced immediately. Service work should first separate the FCU itself from its power supply, CAN communication path, connected feeder hardware and peripheral functions. This is especially useful when the fault affects more than one feeder position or appears together with other feeder-side functions.
Repair references for the 03096377 generation show that the unit contains its own control electronics and interfaces for feeder communication and other machine-side functions. Power faults, communication faults and failures in connected peripheral circuits can therefore produce different symptoms even though they all appear around the same X-FCU system.
V2 to V3 Replacement
P/N 03170613S01 is the documented successor to 03096377-xx. The later unit is identified as X-FCU V3 with an 80 MHz control platform, while 03096377 belongs to the earlier 40 MHz V2 generation.
This successor relationship is more useful than simply calling 03170613 a similar X-FCU. It provides a documented service path for machines originally equipped with 03096377. However, the installed machine configuration should still be reviewed when moving from V2 to V3 because the later X-FCU uses configuration settings for feeder-table and related machine functions.
For factories maintaining an existing 03096377, the first decision is therefore whether the original V2 unit should be repaired or whether the machine is being moved to the documented V3 successor. A repair can preserve the installed V2 configuration when the fault is isolated to the existing FCU, while a successor replacement should be handled as a machine-configuration service decision rather than as an arbitrary board swap.
For the machine platform, see the SIPLACE X-Series page. Other machine-control boards, feeder-control components and difficult-to-classify modules are available under ASM SIPLACE spare parts.
For a 03096377 requirement, send the complete X-FCU label, machine model, feeder-table configuration, photos and fault information. If the unit has a power or communication problem, remote technical troubleshooting can help determine whether board-level repair, complete X-FCU replacement or migration to 03170613S01 is the appropriate service route.
