The 6SL3520-0XA60-5AA0 is a 0.55 kW FSA wall-mounted drive (1.7 A rated, 3.4 A overload). Installation is a single power cable drop to the machine frame and a PROFINET cable for control — no cabinet, no contactor panel, no long motor run. The drive bolts directly to the conveyor frame next to the motor.

What does the installer need to know about mounting and wiring?

The FSA frame measures 380 × 156 × 129 mm and mounts in any orientation. Power enters through the cable entry, and the motor cable runs less than 2 m to the SIMOGEAR geared motor. The 15 m maximum motor cable length at 4 kHz is generous for on-machine mounting. Commissioning is through TIA Portal with predefined macros — no drive-parameter manual needed for standard conveyor speed control.

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.
