The SINAMICS G115D is a distributed wall-mounted drive series for horizontal conveyor applications. The 6SL3520-1XE01-5AF0 delivers 1.5 kW at 4.1 A rated output (8.2 A overload) in the compact FSA frame, measuring 380 × 156 × 129 mm. This gland-type variant features an integral Category C2 line filter and sealed cable gland power entry — the highest power rating available in the FSA frame with natural convection cooling.

What makes the gland-type 1XE01 suited for light conveyor sections?

The FSA frame is the most compact G115D wall-mounted option, designed for decentralized mounting at the motor on light-duty conveyor zones. Natural convection cooling eliminates fans and filters — no moving parts, no airflow path to maintain. The gland-type connection simplifies installation where each drive is individually powered through a sealed cable entry, maintaining full IP65/66 protection. With a 15 m rated motor cable length, FSA drives cover short-zone accumulation conveyors, diverters, and light transfer sections.

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. Integrated PROFINET and Ethernet IP interfaces connect directly to SIMATIC controllers. The built-in RFI filter meets Category C2 requirements.
