The Siemens 6SL3520-0XC00-7AF0 is the PROFINET/EtherNet/IP communication variant in the 0XC00 sub-series of the SINAMICS G115D wall-mounted distributed drive family, rated at 0.75 kW in the compact FSA frame (380 × 156 × 129 mm). With 2.2 A rated output (High Overload), 380–480 V 3-phase supply, C-type connector, and integrated PROFIsafe SIL 2 safety, it brings networked drive functionality to light conveyor sections — small belt turns, diverters, singulation gates — using C-connector cable sets.

Why PROFINET with a C-connector at 0.75 kW?

Integrating every conveyor section into the same PROFINET network — regardless of size — creates a unified engineering environment. A 0.75 kW diverter on C-connector appears in TIA Portal alongside a 4 kW 0XC04 trunk drive with identical parameter structure and diagnostic access. The integrated 2-port switch supports daisy-chain topology, and PROFIsafe travels on the same bus cable. For facilities standardizing on C-connector, the 0XC00-7AF0 is the 0.75 kW PROFINET option — same cable sets as every other 0XC drive on the line.

What motor types are supported?

The drive delivers 2.2 A rated output current with 200% overload — 4.4 A for 3 seconds. Supports IE3 asynchronous motors, IE4 synchronous reluctance motors, and SIMOGEAR geared motor combinations up to 0.75 kW. Control modes: V/f (0–550 Hz), V/f with FCC, sensorless vector control (0–240 Hz). Pulse frequency: 4–16 kHz. Integrated 180 V DC brake control. FSA frame: natural convection cooling, IP66 / UL Type 4X.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to the 1XB40-7AF0 or 0XD00-7AF0?

Electrically identical — same 2.2 A rated / 4.4 A overload, same FSA frame, same PROFINET stack with PROFIsafe. The difference is the connector: 0XC00 uses C-type, 1XB40 uses B-type, 0XD00 uses D-type. Choose based on your facility's cable standard. The 0XC00 scales within the C-connector family to 4 kW FSB.

Is an external braking resistor required?

The integrated 180 V DC brake chopper is sufficient for 0.75 kW conveyor applications. An external braking resistor (minimum 200 Ω for FSA) is rarely needed at this power level.
