The 6SN1123-1AA00-0CA2 can be used for a variety of solutions due to its modular and space saving attributes. The module’s output limits can be modified by the control module in use. The drive modules can be operated from both an unregulated and regulated supply modules belonging to the Simodrive 611 drive system. The power module draws its supply required to control the motors from the DC link.

Then installing a control board into the 6SN1123-1AA00-0CA2, make sure the following is observed:

  1. Ensure that the power module is in a no-voltage condition.
  2. Check that the memory module is inserted and locked into place in the control board.
  3. Insert the control board into the power module.
  4. Tighten the screws retaining the board (2 on front panel).
  5. Connect the front panel of the board corresponding with its applicable connection diagram. The mating connectors must be inserted at the appropriate interface.
