The 6DD/6DP series is a range of industrial automation product modules from Siemens, identified by the prefixes 6DD or 6DP. These series are part of Siemens' larger SIMATIC S7 programmable logic controller (PLC) series.
According to Siemens' naming conventions for the SIMATIC S7 series:
-
6DD: Represents distributed digital controllers within the S7 series, handling control tasks across broader physical areas. These modules are typically utilized in applications where control tasks need to be distributed across multiple locations or devices.
-
6DP: Signifies digital processing modules responsible for specific processing tasks within the PLC system. These modules are typically used for executing particular processing tasks such as data processing, signal processing, etc., to support the operation of the PLC system.
These modules play a vital role within the SIMATIC S7 series, providing flexible and reliable control solutions for industrial automation applications.
