The Siemens 6SL3520-0XC00-5AF0 is the PROFINET/EtherNet/IP communication 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, C-type connector, and integrated PROFIsafe SIL 2 safety, it is the 0.55 kW PROFINET option for facilities standardizing on C-connector cable sets.

Why PROFINET at 0.55 kW with C-connector?

This is the second-smallest 0XC drive — above only the 0XC00-3 at 0.37 kW. For a C-connector facility, it provides networked control for the lightest powered conveyor sections: mini belt turns, singulation gates, small diverters. Integrating these into the PROFINET network alongside larger C-connector drives creates a unified diagnostic and engineering environment. The integrated 2-port switch supports daisy-chain topology. PROFIsafe travels on the same bus cable.

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. FSA frame: natural convection cooling, IP66 / UL Type 4X.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an external braking resistor required?

The integrated 180 V DC brake chopper is more than sufficient at 0.55 kW. An external braking resistor is not required for typical conveyor duty at this power level.
