⚙️ The 6SN1111 Root – SIMODRIVE Interface Boards

The 6SN1111 boards belong to the Interface / Communication Board category within the SIMODRIVE system.

This family includes several models, differentiated by:

• the type of signal handled

• the number of channels

• encoder feedback connections

• compatibility with specific versions of modules 6SN1118, 6SN1123/1124/1125

• additional functions (diagnostics, synchronization, machine expansions)

Main Functions of the 6SN1111 Series

🔹 Encoder / Resolver Interface

Provides the link between the motor and the control module, managing position feedback.

🔹 Signal Conversion and Filtering

Adapts input/output signals to Siemens standards.

🔹 Axis Synchronization

Required in multi-axis configurations or systems with synchronized spindles.

🔹 Siemens Proprietary Communication Bus

Manages high-speed communication between SIMODRIVE modules.

🔹 Support for Advanced CNC Configurations

Used in SINUMERIK 810D / 840D / 840Di machine tools.
