  • 20 mA (TTY) or as V24 (RS232) interface
The 6DD1688-1AB0 is a Siemens SIMADYN D SS2 Serial Interface Submodule. It provides an additional or extended serial communication interface, specifically conforming to the V.24 (RS 232/EIA 232) standard, for use within the SIMADYN D digital control system. Serial interfaces X01 and X02 are located on the front panel at the 25-pin sub-D plug connector X01.The X01 can either be operated as 20 mA (TTY) or as V24 (RS232) interface.

The 6DD1688-1AB0 Siemens INTERFACE SUBMODULE SS2 SERIAL INBTERFACE may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The Siemens 6DD1688-1AB0 (also known as the SS2) is an interface sub-module used within the Siemens SIMADYN D digital control system. It functions as a serial communications module that provides an RS-232 (V.24) connection, often used to equip communications boards (like the SS4) with an extended serial interface.Typically plugs directly onto processor modules (e.g., PT20 or PS16) to facilitate programming, diagnostics, or external serial peripheral communication.

Alignment: Locate the 40-pin socket (typically X51) on your carrier board (e.g., SS4 communication module or PM16/PG16/PT20 processor boards).Orientation: Ensure the recess/notch on the SS2 submodule aligns with the marking on the carrier board's socket (Pin 1 is marked with a point).Safety: Always follow Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) guidelines. The human body must be discharged before touching the board.

FAQs

  • What is the primary function of the 6DD1688-1AB0?

    +
    It acts as a protocol/interface converter for the SIMADYN D rack system. It translates internal processor signals into the standard V.24 (RS-232) format, enabling communication with external devices like PCs, terminals, or older HMIs.
  • What should I do if the module fails?

    +
    Because SIMADYN D is an older, legacy hardware platform, units are typically obtained as new old stock (NOS) or refurbished. If yours fails, check that the module is properly seated and locked into the carrier board, and verify that your cables and external communication ports are free of corrosion
  • What is the 6DD1688-1AB0?

    +
    The Siemens 6DD1688-1AB0 (also known as the SS2 Submodule) is an interface submodule for the SIMADYN D automation system.
  • Does it support hot-swapping?

    +
    No, like most legacy Siemens 6DD modules, it typically does not support hot-swapping. You must power down the system before installation or removal to avoid damaging the module or the carrier board.
  • How is it configured?

    +
    Configuration is generally handled through Siemens programming tools such as STEP 7 with the D7-SYS software package, where communication parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) are defined.
