The 6SL3520-0XL02-2AF0 combines the 2.2 kW power rating with the full-featured I/O configuration — the highest-specification G115D variant at this power tier. It delivers 11.8 A at 480 V 3-phase for small to medium conveyor drives while providing the maximum on-board digital and analog I/O complement, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP communication, and integrated STO safety in the standard 425 × 240 × 134 mm FSB IP65/66 enclosure.

Why choose full-featured I/O at the 2.2 kW power level?

The full-featured (-0AF0) configuration at 2.2 kW is the right choice when the conveyor segment demands analog sensing or multiple local actuators even though the motor power is modest. Typical examples include a precision small-parts conveyor with analog belt tension feedback, a metering conveyor that uses a 4–20 mA positioner for product gapping, or a cleanroom conveyor where local temperature monitoring is required. In these cases the analog I/O need is driven by the process, not the motor size — the 2.2 kW power rating simply reflects the light mechanical load.

How does the 2.2 kW G115D fit into a multi-segment conveyor line?

At 2.2 kW and 11.8 A, this drive typically powers individual segments of a modular conveyor system — roller beds, belt curves, or transfer carriages — where each segment has its own drive motor. The wall-mounted IP65/66 form factor means each segment's drive mounts at the motor location without a control cabinet. The full-featured I/O variant allows each segment to handle its own local sensors, reducing the number of remote I/O blocks and simplifying the wiring topology of the overall line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2.2 kW variant support the same overload profile as the 4 kW model?

Yes. The entire G115D series shares a common overload specification: 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 87% continuously. This profile is designed around the torque demands of conveyor starting and acceleration, regardless of power rating.

What geared motor ratios pair well with the 2.2 kW G115D?

The G115D supports SIMOGEAR 2KJ8 geared motors with IE2 efficiency across all standard reduction ratios. With 0–550 Hz output, the drive covers the full speed range needed for conveyor belt speeds from creep (maintenance/jog) through full production rate.
