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 SINAMICS S200 6SL5510-1BE12-5AA0 (PTI, pulse train input) is a 380-480 V three-phase servo drive rated for a 2.5 kW motor, delivering 7.8 A rated output current and 26.5 A maximum output current in a Frame Size C, IP20 housing measuring 90 x 180 x 200 mm and weighing 2.01 kg.
At 2.5 kW / 7.8 A rated current in Frame Size C, this sits well above the fractional-kW frame in the same PTI line; specify it when the load's acceleration torque needs the 26.5 A maximum output current rather than the roughly 6 A ceiling of the smallest frame. Like the rest of the S200 PTI range it takes a direct pulse-train command, so choose it over a fieldbus-addressed S200 variant when the motion controller only outputs pulse-train commands.
Fits mid-power single-axis pulse-train-controlled positioning, including larger indexing tables and conveyor or feed axes, where 2.5 kW and 26.5 A peak output cover the acceleration profile.
