⚙️ The Family Roots: 6SN1110 / 6SN1112 / 6SN1116

The boards of the SIMODRIVE family derive from three main series, each dedicated to a specific type of control requirement.

🔹 6SN1110 – Basic Peripheral Boards

These boards extend I/O functions and add capabilities such as:

• field signal management

• support for peripheral logic

• interfacing with the Closed-Loop Unit

• expansion of the drive’s basic functions

💡 Ideal for standard multi-axis configurations that require I/O expansion.

🔹 6SN1112 – Synchronization and Axis Regulation Boards

Designed for advanced motion functions, including:

• axis synchronization

• spindle control

• management of additional encoders

• enhanced regulation cycles

💡 Perfect for machining centers, lathes, and high-precision multi-axis lines.

🔹 6SN1116 – Advanced Control / Motion Control Boards

The most advanced boards of the SIMODRIVE family:

• complex motion management

• real-time dynamic regulation

• industrial communication options

• special functions for custom automation

💡 Ideal for special machines, high-performance systems, and complex multi-drive architectures.

🎯 Root Function: Enhancing the Closed-Loop Units

All 6SN1110 / 6SN1112 / 6SN1116 boards share the same purpose:

👉 Expanding or integrating the functions of the Closed-Loop Units (6SN1117 / 6SN1118).

They are used when a machine requires:

• additional specific functions

• high-precision synchronization

• customized logic

• extra connections or I/O

• advanced motion not manageable by the Closed-Loop module alone

🏭 Industrial Applications – Siemens SIMODRIVE Command & Regulation Boards

SIMODRIVE Control Boards are used in:

• CNC machining centers (SINUMERIK 810D / 840D / 840Di)

• multi-axis machines

• milling machines, lathes, grinding machines

• cartesian robots and pick-and-place systems

• automated industrial lines

• special machines and custom plants

They are essential for applications requiring coordination, flexibility, and high precision.
