The 6SL3520-0XB05-5AA0 delivers 5.5 kW in FSC frame (425 × 180 × 169 mm, 7.85 kg) with B-connector, integrated cooling fan, and AA0 I/O Control. Rated for 13.2 A continuous output (HO) at 380–480 V three-phase, IP65 sealed. AA0 provides basic terminal-based control: digital inputs for start/stop and fixed-speed selection, analog input for speed reference — the simplest control interface for standalone conveyor sections. No fieldbus or network configuration required. Compatible with IE2/IE3/IE4 motors across 0–550 Hz.

AA0 I/O Control vs AB0 Standard I/O — both are hardwired, what is different?

Both AA0 and AB0 eliminate fieldbus infrastructure in favor of terminal-based control, but they differ in terminal configuration and I/O count. AA0 I/O Control provides a basic digital and analog I/O set optimized for simple start/stop with analog speed reference. AB0 Standard I/O offers a different terminal arrangement with additional I/O points for more complex local control sequences. For a straightforward conveyor section with start/stop and potentiometer speed control, AA0 covers the need with the simplest wiring. For applications requiring more digital I/O points, AB0 provides the additional terminals. Both share the same FSC power stage, B-connector, and 13.2 A HO rating as the PROFINET variant.
