The Siemens part number 6SL3055-0AA00-5CA2 is categorized as a sensor module within the SINAMICS S120 series. This unit is capable of supporting both incremental encoders, including TTL and HTL types, as well as SSI encoders. It is engineered to operate efficiently up to a maximum encoder frequency of 500 kHz and provides a high-resolution output with 30 bits of absolute position resolution for SSI encoders.
The power requirements for the module consist of a 24 V DC supply with a draw of 0.20 A. For the sensor supply, it delivers 0.35 A at 5 V DC and 35 V DC, specifically for the onboard position encoder interface. It accommodates length specifications for encoder connections, allowing for a maximum line length of 100 meters for incremental encoders using TTL or unipolar HTL and up to 300 meters for bipolar HTL. Additionally, for absolute encoders utilizing SSI, the length can reach 100 meters as well.
Constructed with an IP20 protection rating, this sensor module is identified as UL open type, ensuring adequate protection in managed environmental conditions. The dimensions of the module are 30 mm in width, 150 mm in height, and 111 mm in depth, with a total weight of approximately 0.45 kg (0.99 lb). The device experiences a power loss of no more than 10 watts during operation. For line connections, it supports conductors with a cross-section of up to 2.5 mm² (AWG 14). The onboard position encoder interface is fitted with an M4 screw PE conductor, and this module conforms to the standards set by cULus for safety and compliance.
