1. Module family and function

🧩 Siemens 6RY1803 – Module of the SIMODRIVE family

The 6RY code identifies electronic modules of the SIMODRIVE platform, generally used for:

• support for power electronics

• functional modules for power supplies and drives

• auxiliary control components

The 6RY1803 is typically used as a support / interface module within multi-axis SIMODRIVE systems, contributing to power stability and control integration.

🧩 Siemens 6SC6000 – Module of the SIMOREG / legacy systems family

The 6SC code is associated with the historic generation of Siemens control, regulation, and power supply systems, used for:

• current and voltage regulation

• driving DC drives

• power supply for legacy systems

• command and control interfaces

The 6SC6000 is an extremely widespread component in historic Siemens DC systems and in industrial applications where accurate regulation is essential (metalworking, winders, extruders, production lines).

2. Main functions of the 6RY1803 and 6SC6000 modules

⚡ Stabilization and power supply (6SC6000)

• Voltage/current regulation in DC systems

• Power supply for legacy drive modules

• Management of motor dynamic behavior

🔧 Control and interface (6RY1803)

• Support for SIMODRIVE modules

• Functional integration in the power chain

• Internal communications in multi-axis systems

3. Why are these modules still widely used?

🧱 Reliability that spans decades

They are designed for harsh industrial environments and continuous duty cycles.

♻️ Full compatibility with legacy systems

Many machine tools and production lines operate only with these components.

💰 Costly and complex revamping

Upgrading a line based on 6RY/6SC often requires:

• complete replacement of drives

• conversion from DC to AC

• rewriting of machine software

• safety recertification

For this reason, Siemens-certified regeneration is the most sustainable solution.
