The Siemens 6SL3216-5BE17-5CV1 is a SINAMICS V20 flat heat sink drive rated for 0.75 kW on a 380-480 V 3 AC supply, with an integrated Class C3 EMC filter. It delivers 150% overload for 60 seconds, which covers the typical breakaway torque for a small conveyor or pump motor. The I/O complement — 4 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 1 analog output — is enough for a standalone VFD application without an add-on I/O module. Communication is USS or MODBUS RTU over the built-in RS-485 port.
Integration notes
The flat heat sink design (90 x 150 x 115 mm WxHxD) lets the drive mount flush to a panel backplate, with the heat sink protruding through a cutout for ambient cooling. The IP20 / UL open-type enclosure suits a clean, dry cabinet — not washdown or outdoor. The built-in braking unit handles dynamic braking for a small inertial load; for vertical loads or frequent stops, size an external braking resistor per the V20 manual.
