Interface evidence record

Siemens 6SE70 Terminal Expansion Thermal / Brake Interface Record

Routes motor-temperature sensor and brake-control symptoms through terminal/expansion wiring, configured software response and external machine hardware.

Scope of this technical record

Evidence package for 6SE70 terminal/expansion wiring involved in motor thermal sensing and brake-control symptoms.

Safety boundary

Terminal and expansion-interface work must be performed with power isolated and the machine secured. Thermal and brake protection must remain functional after repair.

What the interface record should show

This record exists because thermal and brake symptoms often involve external machine wiring, not only the drive controller. Photos should show terminal labels, wire destinations, option/expansion board identity, brake coil wiring, sensor wiring and cabinet environment.

The record should also document the configured response: whether the input is intended as a warning, trip, brake acknowledgement or timed brake command. Without that, a board label alone is not enough to route repair.

Evidence intake

Turn this record into a qualified service request

A repair decision is much more reliable when the request includes the exact identity of the drive, the first fault evidence and the machine condition when the symptom appeared.

  • Complete drive type code / MLFB or nameplate model
  • Fault code, fault value and first event before reset
  • When the event appears: power-up, enable, ramp, run, decel or stop
  • Motor/cable connected or isolated during the symptom
  • Visible board, option-card, module and connector identifiers
  • Previous repair history, replacement parts and repeat-failure pattern
