The Siemens 6SL3520-0XE00-7AA0 is the standard AA0 variant of the SINAMICS G115D distributed drive, rated at 0.75 kW (1.0 hp) with 2.2 A output for 380–480 V 3-phase supply. It delivers the full G115D drive performance — PROFINET/EtherNet/IP fieldbus, IP65/IP66 enclosure, integrated C2 EMC filter, and STO SIL2 safety — in the most cost-effective configuration, without the local operator panel or daisy-chain connectors found on the AB0 and AF0 variants.

Is the AA0 variant enough for my application?

For most single-drive installations, yes. The AA0 provides the same motor control performance, the same safety features, and the same communication protocols as the higher-tier variants. What you give up is local manual control (the L/R panel on AB0) and daisy-chain cabling (the Q4/2 and M12 looping on AF0). If your drive is controlled entirely from a PLC over PROFINET and your maintenance team uses TIA Portal for diagnostics, the AA0 variant gives you everything you need at the lowest cost in the G115D range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a local operator panel later?

No. The operator panel is factory-fitted and cannot be retrofitted in the field. If local control access is likely to be needed in the future, specify the AB0 or AF0 variant from the start.

What motor sizes can this 0.75 kW drive support?

This drive is rated for 0.75 kW motors up to 1.0 hp with 2.2 A continuous output current. It pairs optimally with SIMOGEAR 2KJ8 geared motors in the 0.75 kW class. The drive can also run smaller motors (0.37 kW, 0.55 kW) — the electronic motor overload protection (I²t) is configurable to match the connected motor's rated current.
