Siemens 6AU1425-2AA00-0AA0 SIMOTION D425-2 DP Motion Controller 16 Axes BASIC

Siemens SIMOTION D425-2 DP 6AU1425-2AA00-0AA0 is a BASIC-performance drive-based motion controller for up to 16 axes, with a minimum servo cycle clock of 0.5 ms and integrated drive control for up to 6 servo or 6 vector axes based on SINAMICS S120 CU320-2. It provides 4 DRIVE-CLiQ, 2 PROFIBUS, and 3 Industrial Ethernet interfaces from a 24 V DC supply.

Technical Specifications

Selection Notes

BASIC performance caps this Control Unit at 16 axes total, against 32 on the STANDARD D435-2 DP in the same enclosure size - pick the D425-2 DP when the machine's axis count and PROFIBUS/interpolator cycle needs stay within that ceiling, since both share the same 0.5 ms minimum servo cycle clock and DRIVE-CLiQ-based integration with SINAMICS S120 CU320-2 firmware V4.x/V5.x. Four DRIVE-CLiQ ports limit the number of directly connected SINAMICS drive modules before a DMC20/DME20 expansion is needed. The 2 PROFIBUS and 3 Industrial Ethernet interfaces let it run as a PROFIBUS master or slave alongside PROFINET-based supervisory communication.

Applications

Suited to packaging, printing, and general multi-axis machinery built on SINAMICS S120 drives, where the D425-2 DP's 16-axis BASIC performance class and 4 DRIVE-CLiQ ports match a compact machine without STANDARD-class axis count.
