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 6SL5510-1BE17-0AA0 is a SINAMICS S200 PTI servo drive for a 7.0 kW motor, taking 3AC 380-480 V input at 45-66 Hz with pulse-train step/direction control. It delivers up to 37.4 A max output current at 0-550 Hz output frequency, in an IP20 / UL open frame FSD housing (95 x 260 x 230 mm) weighing 4.52 kg.
The pulse-train input (PTI) variant takes step/direction commands directly, useful when the upstream controller has no fieldbus motion interface. At 7.0 kW rated power and 37.4 A max output current, this frame FSD unit is the largest S200 PTI model in this range - the 14.0 A rated input current and 95 x 260 x 230 mm housing are significantly larger than the small-frame variants, so confirm panel space and branch-circuit rating before substituting it for a smaller frame. It runs on 3AC 380-480 V only, matching a standard 400 V industrial supply.
Suited to higher-power single-axis motion on a 400 V 3-phase supply - main spindle or feed axes, large pick-and-place gantries, and winder drives - where step/direction control is preferred over a fieldbus motion interface.
