Siemens SIMODRIVE 6SN1115 – Guide to the Range of Control and Drive Modules

Siemens SIMODRIVE 6SN1115 – Guide to the Range of Control and Drive Modules

The Siemens SIMODRIVE 6SN1115 range is one of the most widely used standards within SINUMERIK CNC automation systems and industrial applications requiring high precision, reliability, and production continuity. These modules are essential for axis and spindle control, used in machine tools, production lines, and highly automated industrial systems.

These devices remain extensively present across the European machine park, even though many versions are now discontinued. Access to certified repair and refurbishment services therefore becomes strategic to ensure the lifecycle of industrial plants and reduce downtime costs.

What Are Siemens 6SN1115 Modules

The 6SN1115 modules are part of the SIMODRIVE 611 platform, used for:

  • digital axis control

  • spindle management

  • motor drive via resolver or encoder interface

  • multi-axis synchronization

  • communication with 6SN1123 / 6SN1145 power modules

  • integration with SINUMERIK 840D / 810D CNC controls

The series includes several variants designed for different control architectures, with modular configurations adaptable to each specific machine tool.


Main Features of the 6SN1115 Range

  • SIMODRIVE 611 Closed Loop technology

  • Resolver/encoder interface for high-precision feedback

  • Axis synchronization for advanced multi-axis applications

  • Operation through Siemens digital bus

  • Compatibility with dedicated power modules

  • Widely used in CNC machine tools

  • Components now discontinued by Siemens, making them critical for ensuring machine uptime

These modules are known for robustness, precision and long operational life, but require specialized maintenance to preserve stable performance over time, especially after years of intensive use.


Typical Applications of the SIMODRIVE 6SN1115 Series

  • CNC machining centres

  • Automatic lathes and milling machines

  • Production lines for automotive and metalworking industries

  • Chip-removal machine tools

  • High-dynamic multi-axis systems

  • Plants equipped with SINUMERIK 810D / 840D / 840Di controls

Because of their widespread use in European machine tools, having access to specialized technical assistance is essential—particularly in the current context of increasing obsolescence.
