Siemens Simodrive 611 Power Supply Modules 6SN1145

What is a SIMODRIVE Power Supply Module and why is it essential?

Within industrial automation systems, the Power Supply Module (PSM) is the component that ensures the proper supply of energy to the entire drive chain.
Without an efficient PSM, no CNC axis, spindle, or control module can operate reliably.

The 6SN1145 root identifies the main power supply components of the Siemens SIMODRIVE 611 platform, a family still widely used in industrial environments today.

The PSM performs key functions for production continuity:

    • generation of the DC Bus voltage

    • stabilization of the power supply

    • harmonic filtering

    • protection against disturbances, spikes, and overloads

    • stable power delivery to Power Modules and Closed-Loop Units

⚙️ Technical Root: 6SN1145 – Power Supply Modules & HFD Filters

The 6SN1145 root includes two types of units:


🔹 1. Power Supply Module (PSM) – Power Modules

These modules convert the mains power into a stable DC bus used by SIMODRIVE drives to control:

  • brushless motors

  • synchronous motors

  • spindle motors

  • linear and rotary axes

Main functions of 6SN1145 PSM units

  • DC bus voltage generation and regulation

  • Overvoltage and short-circuit protection

  • Energy recovery management (braking)

  • Transient stabilization

  • Continuous power supply for Power Modules 6SN1123–1124–1125

They are the electrical heart of the entire DRIVE system.

🔹 2. HFD Filters – Harmonic Filters & Noise Suppression Units

HFD (Harmonic Filter Devices) derive from the same technical root but perform a complementary function:

HFD functions

  • Reduction of mains harmonics

  • Electromagnetic protection (EMC)

  • Suppression of conducted noise

  • Power factor improvement

  • Line stability under variable loads

They are essential in systems featuring:

  • multiple parallel axes

  • long cable runs

  • high-precision machinery

  • frequent load variations


🏭 Typical Industrial Applications of 6SN1145

6SN1145 Power Supply Modules and HFD filters are used in:

  • multi-axis CNC machining centers (SINUMERIK 840D / 810D)

  • milling and turning machines

  • robotic and pick-and-place lines

  • automotive, aerospace, and precision-engineering plants

  • laser cutting, waterjet, and grinding systems

  • high-dynamic applications with synchronized axes

Where stable, clean, and protected power is required, 6SN1145 is indispensable.
