Product details

The APM6B0CTLY6 is the control module for a low-harmonic ATV600 single drive, rated 500...690 V supply. It carries STO (safe torque off) rated SIL 3, and its internal supply rails are split: 24 V DC (19...30 V) for digital inputs, a separate 24 V DC (21...27 V) rail for digital inputs and STO, and a 10.5 V DC ±5 % reference supply for a 1 to 10 kOhm potentiometer. The module is IP00, so it lives inside a panel with forced convection — dissipation runs 2390 W at 2.5 kHz switching frequency.

Communications & compliance

On the communications side, the module carries Ethernet (Modbus TCP, 10/100 Mbit/s, half/full duplex with autonegotiation) and a 2-wire RS-485 Modbus serial port (4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s, RTU frame, 1...247 addresses). The remote graphic terminal adds RJ45 connectors for both Ethernet and serial. Compliance stack includes IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61508 and IEC 13849-1 (functional safety), plus IEC 61000-3-12 for harmonics — THDI <48 % at full load. Pollution degree 2, vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6, and chemical/dust resistance class 3C3/3S3 per IEC 60721-3-3.

Frequently asked questions

What supply voltages does the APM6B0CTLY6 require?

The main power supply is 500...690 V. Digital inputs and STO each have a dedicated 24 V DC rail (19...30 V for inputs, 21...27 V for STO/inputs). The reference potentiometer supply is 10.5 V DC ±5 %.

What safety functions does the APM6B0CTLY6 support?

It includes STO (safe torque off) rated SIL 3 per IEC 61508 and IEC 13849-1.

What communication protocols are available on this module?

Ethernet/Modbus TCP (10/100 Mbit/s) and Modbus serial over 2-wire RS-485 (4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s, RTU frame).
