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 6SL5510-1BE17-0AF0 is a SINAMICS S200 servo drive with integrated PROFINET, sized for a 7 kW motor and taking a 380-480 V 3AC input rated 14.2 A. It delivers 13.2 A rated output current (37.4 A max.) at up to 550 Hz, in an IP20 Frame Size D enclosure measuring 95 x 260 x 230 mm.
PN in the type designation marks the integrated PROFINET interface, which is what distinguishes this S200 variant from a pulse/analog-only version and lets it run cyclic motion control over the same network as the rest of a SIMATIC line without a separate fieldbus module. The 13.2 A rated / 37.4 A max. output sizes it to 7 kW servo motors, and full output is only guaranteed up to 45 C ambient before power derating applies above that toward the 55 C limit.
PROFINET-networked single-axis servo positioning at the 7 kW power level, such as extruder, winder, or high-torque conveyor axes coordinated from a SIMATIC controller.
