The Siemens 6SL3520-1XA65-5AF0 is the full-featured AF0 variant of the SINAMICS G115D at 5.5 kW (7.5 hp, 13.2 A) in the FSC frame — the highest-feature configuration at a power level widely used in sortation systems, merge/divert units, and medium-duty pallet conveyors. It combines PROFINET/EtherNet/IP, a local remote panel, and daisy-chain power and communication connectors in a single FSC enclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does daisy-chaining 5.5 kW drives require special cable sizing?

The Q4/2 daisy-chain connectors on the AF0 are rated for 25 A continuous. For a 5.5 kW drive (13.2 A rated) feeding two downstream 4 kW drives (10.2 A each), total downstream load = 33.4 A — exceeding the connector rating. In this case, split the chain or feed the higher-load group separately. Always sum the rated currents of all downstream drives and verify against the 25 A connector limit.
