The Siemens 6SL3520-0XE01-1AA0 is a SINAMICS G115D wall-mounted distributed drive designed for horizontal conveyor applications in intralogistics, airport baggage handling, automotive production, and food & beverage packaging lines. It delivers 1.1 kW (1.5 hp) with 3.1 A rated output current from a 380–480 V 3-phase supply, housed in an IP65-rated enclosure suitable for direct on-site installation without additional cabinets.

Which communication variant is right for your application?

The G115D series offers three interface configurations distinguished by the suffix code:

• AA0 (Standard): Integrated PROFINET/EtherNet/IP fieldbus via M12 connectors. Basic I/O only — no local remote panel, no daisy-chain power looping. Ideal for standalone drive installations where each drive connects individually to the network.
• AB0 (with Local Remote Panel): Same fieldbus capability as AA0, plus a built-in local/remote operator panel with manual repair switch. Suited for applications where operators need local control access at the drive.
• AF0 (Full Featured): Adds daisy-chain power connectors (2× Q4/2 for 400 V AC pass-through) and M12 communication looping, alongside the local remote panel. Enables line-topology cabling without external switches — the preferred choice for multi-drive conveyor lines.

This 6SL3520-0XE01-1AA0 is the AA0 standard variant — best for single-drive installations where simplicity and cost-efficiency are priorities.

What motors can I connect?

The G115D supports 3-phase asynchronous motors up to IE3 efficiency class and synchronous reluctance motors (IE4). It is optimized for SIMOGEAR 2KJ8 and 2KJ3 geared motors but works with any standard induction motor within its power and current rating. The drive includes integrated electronic motor overload protection via thermal I²t monitoring.

What safety features are built in?

STO (Safe Torque Off) SIL2 is integrated as standard, configurable via fail-safe digital inputs or PROFIsafe over PROFINET. This eliminates the need for external safety relays in basic safe-stop applications, reducing panel complexity and wiring costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this drive be used outdoors?

Yes, with appropriate precautions. The IP65/IP66 enclosure and -30°C to +55°C ambient temperature range allow outdoor installation. However, direct sunlight exposure may require a sun shield to stay within the +40°C nominal rating without derating.

Does this model support daisy-chain power connections?

No. The AA0 variant does not include Q4/2 power connectors for daisy chaining. If you need to loop the 400 V supply through multiple drives, choose the AF0 variant instead.

What is the difference between the wall-mounted and motor-mounted G115D?

The wall-mounted version (this product) installs separately from the motor on a wall or machine frame, connected via cable. The motor-mounted version attaches directly to the motor terminal box. Wall-mounted is preferred when the motor location is difficult to access or when vibration isolation is needed.
