Siemens 6AU1425-2AD00-0AA0 SIMOTION D425-2 Control Unit

Siemens 6AU1425-2AD00-0AA0 SIMOTION D425-2 Drive-Based Control Unit is the drive-based motion controller for SIMOTION D425-2 systems, delivering BASIC-performance programmable control for complex motion tasks. It provides 12 digital inputs and 16 configurable digital I/O, plus 4 DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces, 2 PROFIBUS, 3 PROFINET ports, 2 Industrial Ethernet ports, 2 USB ports, and a single option slot for expansion. The unit ships with a dual-fan module and a battery module including the battery, suitable for continuous operation in demanding environments. For motion control, the D425-2 offers integrated drive control capable of handling up to 6 servo axes, 6 vector axes, and 12 V/f configurations, with a minimum servo cycle clock of 0.5 ms, PROFIBUS cycle clock of 1 ms, and an interpolator cycle clock of 0.5 ms. As an alternative, drive control can be implemented using SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 hardware with firmware version V4.x. The module is commonly configured for IP20 environments, matching Siemens’ standard protection class for DIN rail installations.
