The 6SL3520-1XK01-5AF0 is the top of the FSA power range with PROFINET: 1.5 kW continuous, 4.1 A rated output, 1/3-phase wide-voltage input, all in the compact 216 × 129 × 380 mm wall-mounted enclosure. At this power level — the highest in the G115D lineup still cooled entirely by natural convection — the AF0 PROFINET interface brings full PROFIdrive profile support, cyclic telegrams, and TIA Portal integration to a drive that mounts on the machine frame, not in a cabinet.

Why PROFINET at the FSA ceiling

A 1.5 kW distributed drive often runs the most critical station on a conveyor segment — the main transfer point, the reject gate, the accumulation release. These stations need more than start/stop: the PLC monitors torque, reads actual speed, adjusts ramps mid-cycle, and triggers predictive maintenance alarms from load profiling. PROFINET delivers all of this over a single cable, synchronized to the automation cycle. The AF0 suffix puts that capability on the drive natively — no gateway, no protocol converter, no I/O mapping mismatch.
