The 6SL3520-2XD01-5AB0 is the 1.5 kW member of the distributed SINAMICS G115D for SIMATIC, built to mount on the machine or conveyor frame instead of in a cabinet. Its IP65/IP66 (UL Type 4X) enclosure and -30 to +55 C operating range suit coolant spray, washdown and cold-storage duty without a protective housing. At 1.5 kW it delivers 8.2 A from a 380-480 V three-phase supply in a 380 x 156 x 129 mm FSA frame.

This variant is controlled by hardwired digital inputs rather than a fieldbus, so it is the right pick when the controller only supplies run/stop and direction signals and no network integration is required. Integrated STO is provided via hardwired safety inputs. The alternative in this family is the AS-Interface variant for ASi networks, or the PROFINET plus PROFIsafe variant for industrial Ethernet safety.
