Technical Parameters
Core Advantages
1. Enables Option Board Expansion in MASTERDRIVES MC Systems
The primary function of the ADB is to provide the physical and electrical interface that allows specific option boards to be installed in MASTERDRIVES MC drive units. Without the ADB, certain option boards cannot be mechanically mounted or electrically connected in specific drive unit variants. This makes the ADB an essential component for system configurations that require expansion capabilities .
2. Seamless Integration with MASTERDRIVES MC Platform
The MASTERDRIVES MC platform represents the higher-end variant of the MASTERDRIVES family, adding position control, synchronization functions, and software features required for CNC and multi-axis coordinated motion. The ADB is designed to integrate seamlessly into this architecture, enabling MC drives to connect directly with SINUMERIK CNC controls and SIMATIC PLCs for axis positioning, electronic gearing, and cam profile functions .
3. Robust Data Line Protection
The ADB is built to Siemens' rigorous industrial standards, ensuring that sensitive data lines between the option board and the drive's CPU are protected from electromagnetic interference (EMI). It provides stable voltage supply to the daughterboard and facilitates the high-speed data exchange necessary for real-time control loops .
4. Essential for Specific Configuration Combinations
The ADB is a component that is required for certain configuration combinations but is not visible in the normal operation of the drive. It serves as the "silent enabler" of the drive's expanded intelligence and connectivity, allowing users to customize their MASTERDRIVES MC system with additional functionality as needed .
5. Part of a Proven Legacy Platform
The SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES platform has been deployed for decades in critical industrial applications worldwide. The ADB remains essential for maintaining and expanding existing MASTERDRIVES MC installations, even though the product has been discontinued .
Applications
The Siemens 6SE7090-0XX84-0KA0 ADB module is deployed in a range of industrial drive applications:
Primary Functions
-
Option Board Installation – Enables installation of compatible miniature-format option boards
-
Mechanical Carrier Platform – Provides physical mounting for expansion boards
-
Electrical Interface – Facilitates data and power connection between option board and drive CPU
-
EMI Protection – Shields sensitive data lines from electromagnetic interference
Recommended Models & Related Products
Note: The ADB (0KA0) sits in Slot 1 of the electronics box. It does not need an ADB to function as a standalone unit, but it requires the LBA (4HA0) if it is going to communicate with any expansion boards in other slots .
What's Included
Note: LBA (Local Bus Adapter), option boards, and drive unit are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 6SE7090-0XX84-0KA0?
It is an ADB (Adapter Board) for the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control platform. It serves as a mechanical carrier and electrical interface that enables specific option boards to be installed in compact and chassis-type MASTERDRIVES MC drive units .
Q2: Is this a control module or a functional board?
The ADB is not a functional control module. It is a carrier platform that provides the physical mounting and electrical connection for option boards. The actual control functions are performed by the control unit (CUVC, CUMC, etc.) and the option boards themselves .
Q3: What is the difference between ADB and LBA?
ADB (0KA0) is the Adapter Board that provides the mechanical/electrical interface for option boards. LBA (4HA0) is the Local Bus Adapter that enables communication between expansion boards in different slots. The ADB requires the LBA to be installed first when used for option board expansion .
Q4: What option boards are compatible with this ADB?
The ADB is designed to accept specific miniature-format option boards for MASTERDRIVES MC systems. The exact compatible boards depend on the drive configuration and application requirements. Consult Siemens documentation for specific compatibility .
Q5: What is the lifecycle status of this product?
The ADB was discontinued by Siemens effective September 30, 2020 (PM490 lifecycle status). It is available only through spare parts channels and remaining stock .
Q6: What is the net weight of this module?
Approximately 0.10–0.15 kg .
Q7: What is the country of origin?
Germany .
Q8: What are the operating temperature limits?
The ADB operates from 0°C to +70°C (32°F to 158°F) with storage from -25°C to +70°C .
Q9: Does the ADB require an external power supply?
No. The ADB draws its operating power from the drive's backplane .
Q10: In which slot is the ADB installed?
The ADB supports slot positions +1.B2 or +1.B3 in the drive's electronics box .
Q11: Is this a genuine Siemens product?
Yes. This is a new sealed genuine Siemens spare part with article number 6SE7090-0XX84-0KA0 .
Q12: What should I verify before ordering?
Always verify the exact part number (6SE7090-0XX84-0KA0), the drive model (compact vs. chassis), the required option boards, and whether an LBA (6SE7090-0XX84-4HA0) is also required for your specific configuration. Consult Siemens documentation or contact our technical support for assistance.
