Description
The PM6 is a high-performance 64-bit RISC CPU module for the SIMADYN D modular control system, used for demanding closed-loop and open-loop control tasks (e.g., turbine/generator control) requiring cycle times around 0.5 ms. It requires a forced-ventilation subrack and includes onboard digital inputs plus L-bus and C-bus backplane connections.

Notes
Detailed specs confirmed from Siemens SIMADYN D brochure and reseller technical data (NS Automation, Adegis). Drive manuals available are system-level service/commissioning PDFs, not a per-module PM6 datasheet, so manual match confidence is lower than the spec confidence.
