Where this SINAMICS S200 sits in the panel
The Siemens 6SL5510-1BE11-0AF0 is a SINAMICS S200 servo converter rated for a 380-480 V 3AC input with a 3 A input stage and a 3.0 A output stage driving a 1 kW motor at 0-550 Hz — the compact bookshelf frame (60x180x200 mm WxHxD) drops into a standard control cabinet on a DIN-rail footprint and connects over PROFINET to the higher-level controller. IP20 FSB on the housing means the drive is intended for a closed cabinet rather than a washdown or field-mounted location — the panel builder's job is to land the supply feeder, the motor cable, and the PROFINET drop before the unit goes in.
Ratings that decide the fit
The 3.0 A output / 1 kW rating is the headline — it pairs this converter to a specific motor frame size, not a general-purpose VFD duty, so substituting a higher-power SINAMICS unit is wasted headroom and a lower-power one will trip on the acceleration ramp. Commissioning-wise, confirm the motor nameplate kW matches before the first power-up; the drive's default parameter set is tuned to that match. Input tolerance is -15% / +10% around 380-480 V 3AC at 50/60 Hz, which is the standard European three-phase industrial supply band — derate the supply feeder calculation if the plant sits near the 480 V end of the range, and expect the drive to ride through a browndown to roughly 323 V without dropping out. The packaging envelope of 237 x 99 x 249 mm (L x W x H including the shipping carton) reflects the bare converter at 60 x 180 x 200 mm plus connector clearance — leave the depth margin for the PROFINET and motor plug bend radii when sizing the cabinet cut-out.
Lifecycle, compliance, and the sourcing read
RoHS compliance has been in force since 01-09-21 and REACH Article 33 disclosure is on file for lead (CAS-No. 7439-92-1) above the 0.1 % w/w threshold — both are routine for this drive class and the REACH statement is the line item a compliance reviewer will look for first. Export-control classification is AL:N / ECCN:N, so the unit ships without a licence trigger for the standard destinations — no extra paperwork beyond the commercial invoice for typical industrial automation end users. Group Code R220 and Product Group X0H6 are the internal Siemens cataloguing slots — useful when the purchasing system needs to reconcile the order code against the manufacturer's product hierarchy, not a functional spec.
