The Siemens 6SL3520-0XC00-5AB0 is the standard I/O variant in the 0XC00 sub-series of the SINAMICS G115D wall-mounted distributed drive family, rated at 0.55 kW in the compact FSA frame (380 × 156 × 129 mm). With 1.7 A rated output (High Overload), 380–480 V 3-phase supply, and C-type connector, it provides hardwired digital input control with the AB0 terminal standard for the lightest powered conveyor sections in C-connector facilities.

When is Standard I/O sufficient at 0.55 kW?

At 0.55 kW, the load is typically a small belt turn, singulation gate, or diverter where the operating profile is simple — fixed speed or two-speed selection via digital inputs. The AB0 variant uses four programmable PNP digital inputs with a terminal configuration distinct from the AA0 I/O Control variant. Electrically and functionally equivalent — same 1.7 A rated output, same full G115D motor control suite. Choose based on which terminal standard matches your existing cable sets.

What motor types are supported?

The drive delivers 1.7 A rated output current with 200% overload — 3.4 A for 3 seconds. Supports IE3 asynchronous motors, IE4 synchronous reluctance motors, and SIMOGEAR geared motor combinations up to 0.55 kW. Control modes: V/f (0–550 Hz), V/f with FCC, sensorless vector control (0–240 Hz). Integrated 180 V DC brake control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an external braking resistor required?

At 0.55 kW, the integrated 180 V DC brake chopper is more than sufficient for all typical conveyor duty.
