Description
About the 6BK1630-1AA60-0AA0
About the 6BK1630-1AA60-0AA0
The Siemens 6BK1630-1AA60-0AA0 is a SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE PDC600 drive controller for servo drives in the extra low voltage range, supplied from 24 up to 48 V DC and rated for a motor output up to 600 W. It uses a hardwired STO input for the safety function. It weighs 0.65 kg and ships boxed as a standalone controller for low-voltage servo motion.
Selection Notes
The hardwired STO input lets this 600 W controller reach a safe torque-off state without a fieldbus safety layer, which suits machines where the safety circuit is built from conventional relays and switches rather than PROFIsafe. Move up to the next power class in the same PDC family when the driven axis needs more than 600 W of motor output; the PDC600 is sized for its rated output and should not be run past it.
