The Siemens 6SL3517-1BE17-7AM0 is a SINAMICS G110M Power Module PM240M designed for distributed drive installations where the drive mounts close to the motor, not inside a central cabinet. The IP65 degree of protection means the module withstands washdown and dust ingress — suitable for food-and-beverage, packaging, and material-handling lines where hose-down cleaning is routine. Rated for 380-480 V 3 AC +10/-10% at 47-63 Hz, this module delivers 3 kW under high-overload duty: 200% for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds. The integrated Class A filter meets EN 61800-3 emission limits without an external filter, saving panel space and wiring.
Integration notes
The FSB form factor measures 135 x 181 x 309 mm (HxWxD) and mounts directly on the machine frame or a mounting plate. It requires a separate Control Unit (not included) to operate — order a CU240M-2 or similar G110M Control Unit to complete the drive system. The SD/MMC card slot allows parameter cloning across multiple drives, which speeds commissioning on multi-axis lines. Ambient temperature range is -10 to +55 °C. At the upper end, derate output current per the drive's thermal curve. The IP65 enclosure eliminates the need for a separate cooling fan in most environments, but verify airflow around the heatsink fins in high-ambient installations.
