Description
Siemens 6SL3130-6AE15-0AB1 Description
The Siemens 6SL3130-6AE15-0AB1 is a SINAMICS S120 Active Line Module (ALM) designed to generate a regulated DC link voltage from a three-phase AC mains supply while enabling energy regeneration back to the power network. Operating on 3 AC 380–480 V, 50/60 Hz, this Active Line Module provides a highly efficient power supply solution for SINAMICS S120 drive systems and is suitable for demanding motion-control applications requiring bidirectional power flow.
Unlike conventional line modules, the Active Line Module can return braking energy generated by motors during deceleration directly to the mains supply, reducing energy consumption and minimizing the need for external braking resistors. The module also helps maintain a stable DC link voltage and supports improved power quality with low harmonic distortion.
Designed for seamless integration within the SINAMICS S120 platform, the 6SL3130-6AE15-0AB1 communicates via DRIVE-CLiQ and supports advanced diagnostics, automatic component recognition, and simplified commissioning. It is widely used in CNC machine tools, robotics, printing machinery, packaging systems, material handling equipment, and other high-performance industrial automation applications.
