The 6SL3520-2XB01-5AF0 is the PROFINET-equipped variant at the top of the FSA frame — 1.5 kW in a 380 × 156 × 129 mm IP65/IP66 enclosure with B-connector. At 4.1 A HO, it handles light conveyor sections (small belt transfers, packaging outfeeds, roller beds) on PROFINET-controlled lines where even the smallest drive on the network uses PROFIsafe for safety integration.

Why put PROFINET on a 1.5 kW drive?

On a PROFINET-standardized line, uniform networking across all drives — from FSA to FSC — simplifies engineering. The drive appears in TIA Portal with the same commissioning workflow as larger G115D units, safety runs over the same M12 D-coded cable, and line-topology daisy-chaining reduces Ethernet switch ports along the conveyor. The AF0 variant keeps the control architecture consistent regardless of power rating.
