SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVESiemens 6BK1630-1BA00-0AA0 SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE PDC1000 24-48V 1000W Servo Drive
SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE PDC1000 servo drive controller, 24-48V DC, 1000W max motor output, 0.65 kg.
Description
About the 6BK1630-1BA00-0AA0
About the 6BK1630-1BA00-0AA0
The Siemens 6BK1630-1BA00-0AA0 is a SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE PDC1000 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 1000 W. No fieldbus safety function is listed for this base variant. 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 1000 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 1000 W of motor output; the PDC1000 is sized for its rated output and should not be run past it.
