Features:
- ±10V, 12‑bit, 4 µs conversion per channel, short‑circuit protected to ground, 3.5 V/µs slew rate.
- 8 analog inputs, 4 integrating analog inputs, 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, and 2 SSI encoder interfaces in one module.
- Designed for Siemens SIMADYN D high‑end drive and automation systems; supports fast real‑time control applications.
The 6DD1640-0AH0 provides 8 analog output channels with a conversion time of just 4 microseconds per channel – significantly faster than standard industrial analog output modules. Each channel outputs ±10V with 12‑bit resolution and can source or sink ±10mA. The slew rate is approximately 3.5 V/µs, allowing rapid voltage changes for demanding control applications. This speed is critical for closed‑loop control in high‑performance drive systems, hydraulic servo valves, and fast‑acting actuators. The outputs have short‑circuit protection to ground (short‑circuit current approx. 100 mA), providing some protection against wiring faults. However, there is no electrical isolation between outputs or to the logic.
The 6DD1640-0AH0 integrates an exceptional range of I/O types into a single module. It includes 8 standard differential analog inputs (±10V, 12‑bit, 20 µs conversion, 20 kΩ input resistance), 4 integrating analog inputs (configurable integration time, up to 15‑bit resolution, 470 kΩ input resistance), 16 digital inputs (24V, 3 mA, 100 µs delay), and 16 digital outputs (24V external supply, 50 mA rated, 100 µs delay). Additionally, it provides two SSI absolute encoder interfaces for position feedback. This high level of integration saves valuable rack space in SIMADYN D systems, reduces backplane communication overhead, and simplifies wiring.
The 6DD1640-0AH0 is specifically designed for Siemens SIMADYN D, a high‑end digital drive and automation system used in demanding applications such as steel mills, mine winders, and high‑performance test stands. SIMADYN D systems are known for their fast real‑time performance, modularity, and ability to handle complex control algorithms. The SM500 signal module integrates seamlessly into these systems, providing the analog and digital I/O needed for drive regulation, position feedback, and machine monitoring. Key applications include multi‑motor drives, synchronous drives, and closed‑loop tension control.
The 6DD1640-0AH0 Siemens Signal Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).
