VFD vs Servo Drive: Key Differences
A side-by-side comparison of VFD and servo drive motor type, feedback, dynamic response, overload rating, cost, and applications for industrial engineers.
The Siemens 6SL5310-1BE11-0DF0 is a SINAMICS S210 servo drive for a 1.0 kW motor, taking 3AC 200-480 V input at 45-66 Hz and rated for 3.8 A input current. It delivers up to 10.9 A max output current at 0-550 Hz output frequency, in an IP20 frame A housing (50 x 270 x 220 mm) weighing 2.1 kg.
At 1.0 kW rated power (400 V) and 10.9 A max output current, this frame A unit is the smallest in the 3AC 200-480 V S210 line - move to a larger frame if the motor draws more than 10.9 A. Rated power drops to 0.60 kW at 240 V input, so on a 230 V 3-phase supply the usable motor power is lower than the 400 V figure implies; size the motor against the actual supply voltage available. The wide 200-480 V input range covers both 230 V and 400 V industrial supplies without a separate transformer.
Suited to 3-phase single-axis motion in the 0.6-1.0 kW range - small robots, packaging machinery, and machine-tool feed axes - where line voltage may be either 230 V or 400 V depending on the installation.
