💡 What Is Siemens SIMATIC
The Siemens SIMATIC family is the core of industrial automation systems.
Designed to deliver control, precision and reliability, it integrates PLCs, I/O modules, CPUs, communication interfaces and HMI operator panels, enabling full management of plants, production lines and complex machinery.
SIMATIC represents the meeting point between industrial hardware and digital intelligence, thanks to scalable solutions fully compatible with the entire Siemens ecosystem, including SINUMERIK, SIMODRIVE and SINAMICS.
💡 What is Siemens SINUMERIK
The Siemens SINUMERIK family is one of the most advanced computer numerical control (CNC) systems in the world.
It is the brain that governs machine tools and production systems, translating digital commands into precise, perfectly synchronized movements.
Thanks to its modular architecture and seamless integration with SIMODRIVE and SINAMICS drive systems, SINUMERIK controllers deliver high performance, reliability, and scalability — from single-axis machines to the most complex multi-axis production lines.
💡 What is Siemens MICROMASTER
The Siemens MICROMASTER family is one of the most well-known in the industrial automation landscape.
These are compact inverters designed to regulate the speed, torque, and rotation direction of AC induction motors.
Created to combine ease of use with long-term reliability, MICROMASTER inverters provide precise and quiet motor control, helping reduce energy consumption and optimize production processes.
💡 What is the Siemens SINAMICS system?
The Siemens SINAMICS family includes converters, inverters, and power modules that transform electrical energy into controlled motion.
They are the heart of modern drive systems: they receive commands from the controller (PLC or CNC), regulate voltage, frequency, and current, and ensure efficiency, precision, and safety at every stage of the production cycle.
SINAMICS devices are designed to cover the full range of applications — from a single pump or fan to complex multi-axis systems used in automated production lines.
Siemens SIMODRIVE 611 – 6SN1117 Control Modules: The Heart of CNC Precision
The Siemens SIMODRIVE 611 6SN1117 modules are among the most reliable and long-lasting components in CNC automation systems. Designed to manage axes and spindles with extremely high precision, they are still used in thousands of machine tools thanks to their robustness, operational continuity, and full compatibility with the SINUMERIK ecosystem.
Despite their commercial discontinuation, the 6SN1117 modules remain essential in modern manufacturing—especially in environments where stability, accuracy, and process consistency are non-negotiable requirements.
The Siemens family 6SN1118-1NK / 6SN1118-1NJ / 6SN1118-0NH includes the special and OEM versions of the control units from the SIMODRIVE 611 range, developed by Siemens for dedicated applications or customized solutions for machine builders (OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer).
These modules are characterized by specific firmware, adapted interfaces, and customized control logic designed according to the requirements of the machine builder or plant.
On the E-Repair website, the range also includes related models such as 6SN1118-0NJ01-0AA0, 6SN1118-0NK01-0AA0, 6SN1118-0NP01-0AA0 and 6SN1118-0NH01-0AA0, all compatible with SINUMERIK 810D / 840D CNC systems and Siemens OEM digital configurations.
These variants, often considered custom modules, ensure maximum integration within SIMODRIVE 611 systems and maintain full compatibility with the standard versions.

💡 What is a control module and what is it used for?
In every industrial automation system, there is a component that coordinates motion: the control module.
This device receives command signals from a logic or numerical controller (PLC / CNC) and converts them into electrical impulses sent to the motors, regulating speed, torque, and position.
Its main task is to keep movement stable, accurate, and synchronized through a closed-loop control system that continuously compares real-time data from position sensors or encoders.
In practice, it is the brain of the drive system: it decides how, how much, and when to move, ensuring efficiency and safety throughout the production process.
💡 Introduction to the Siemens SIMODRIVE Range
The Siemens SIMODRIVE systems represent one of the most reliable and widely used solutions for motor control in complex industrial applications.
Employed in machine tools, production lines, and automation plants, SIMODRIVE modules offer high precision, flexibility, and operational robustness.
Technological innovation has reduced the life cycle of products, which are declared out of production after 3 or 5 years. In the industrial sector, companies that invest in a new production line expect that the repair and recovery service can guarantee its use for at least 10/15 years if not more.
E-Repair, a leading company in the reference sector and the only authorized Siemens service partner in Italy for the repair and regeneration of industrial electronic boards, has developed its core business on the concept of the circular economy.
