At 2.2 kW (5.9 A rated, 11.8 A overload), the 6SL3520-1XE42-2AB0 delivers the full 1XE specification — gland entry, C2 filter, IP66 — in the convection-cooled FSB platform at 425 × 180 × 134 mm. For machine builders designing a modular conveyor frame, this is the smallest drive that uses the unified FSB/FSC mounting pattern (410 × 168 mm), which covers every G115D from 2.2 to 7.5 kW.

How does the unified FSB/FSC footprint simplify conveyor machine design?

One drilling pattern on the machine frame accepts any G115D from 2.2 kW FSB through 7.5 kW FSC. A conveyor OEM can ship a standard frame that accommodates the customer's actual motor selection — 2.2 kW for flat sections, 4 kW for inclines, 5.5 kW for merges — all on identical mounting centers. The only variable is enclosure depth (134 mm convection vs. 169 mm fan-cooled), which affects clearance behind the drive, not the bolt pattern. For end users, this means a 2.2 kW drive replaced five years later with a 4 kW unit for a line-speed upgrade requires no re-drilling, no adapter plates, and no mechanical re-engineering — just a bolt-on swap and a parameter download.

Key specifications

The drive operates from a 3 AC 380–480 V supply (45–66 Hz) with an output frequency range of 0–550 Hz. High-overload capability delivers 200% for 3 seconds and 150% for 57 seconds. The 175 Ω integrated braking resistor supports dynamic braking. Integrated PROFINET and Ethernet IP interfaces connect directly to SIMATIC controllers. The built-in C2 RFI filter meets EN 61800-3 Category C2 conducted emission limits for industrial environments.
