Description
The Siemens 6SL3162-1AH01-0AA0 is a SINAMICS S120 Smart Line Module (SLM) used as the power infeed unit in Siemens multi-axis servo drive systems. It converts incoming 3-phase AC power into a DC link voltage that supplies SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules.
Unlike Active Line Modules, the Smart Line Module does not regenerate braking energy back to the mains. Regenerative energy is dissipated through an external braking resistor system.
