Siemens 6AU1425-2AD00-0AA0 Drive-Based Control Unit

Siemens 6AU1425-2AD00-0AA0 Drive-Based Control Unit is a SIMOTION D425-2 DP/PN module that delivers BASIC-performance motion control within Siemens' automation ecosystem. It operates from 24 V DC and draws up to 11.5 A, providing a compact, programmable motion controller with Drive-CLiQ connectivity and multi-network communication. The unit offers 12 digital inputs (DI) and 16 DI/DO interfaces, plus 4 DRIVE-CLiQ, 2 PROFIBUS, 3 PROFINET ports, 2 Ethernet ports, 2 USB connections, and 1 expansion slot, enabling flexible I/O and networking configurations. It ships with a dual-fan/battery module and battery to support reliable operation in demanding environments. Designed for tight integration with SIMOTION hardware, this drive-based control unit coordinates motion sequences, servo drives, and PLC-like logic, making it suitable for compact automation tasks that require deterministic timing, synchronized I/O, and robust communication across multiple fieldbus and Ethernet networks.
