Interfaces an EnDat 2.2 encoder with a SINAMICS S120 drive architecture.
Technical Summary
6SL3055-0AA00-5DA0 is the Siemens SINAMICS S120 SMC40 Sensor Module Cabinet-Mounted for EnDat 2.2 encoders.
Siemens lists the SMC40 as an optional drive component for current SINUMERIK ONE and SINUMERIK 828D configurations. Manufacturer declarations identify hardware versions A and B for this article number.
Encoder type, DRIVE-CLiQ topology, module hardware version and drive firmware support must be checked as one interface chain.

Features
Uses cabinet mounting rather than an external IP67 sensor-module housing.
Participates in the DRIVE-CLiQ-connected feedback topology.
Keeps the 5DA0 article identity separate from SMC20 and SMC30 alternatives.
Compatibility
- Confirm that the installed measuring system is EnDat 2.2 rather than EnDat 2.1, SSI, TTL/HTL or resolver.
- Verify SMC40 hardware version and support in the installed SINAMICS or SINUMERIK software release.
- Retain the encoder data, DRIVE-CLiQ topology and drive commissioning archive.
- Check cabinet mounting, protective bonding, cable routing and connector keying.
Replacement
- Save the drive project, encoder data and safety acceptance records before shutdown.
- Isolate the drive and wait for the documented discharge time before working in the cabinet.
- Install the verified SMC40 hardware version and restore the approved topology.
- Confirm encoder identification, direction, position or speed feedback and all affected safety functions.
FAQ
Q01
Can 6SL3055-0AA00-5DA0 replace an SMC20 or SMC30?
No direct substitution should be assumed. The SMC40 is documented for EnDat 2.2, while the other sensor modules serve different encoder interfaces.
Q02
What encoder evidence is needed for a 6SL3055-0AA00-5DA0 enquiry?
Provide the encoder nameplate, EnDat generation, motor MLFB, drive control-unit identity, module hardware version and DRIVE-CLiQ topology.
Q03
Why should the 6SL3055-0AA00-5DA0 hardware version be preserved?
Siemens declarations list hardware versions A and B; the installed version and drive release should be checked before an exchange.
Q04
Does fitting 6SL3055-0AA00-5DA0 complete commissioning automatically?
No. The drive must recognize the encoder chain and the approved commissioning and safety checks must be repeated where affected.
Q05
What final checks matter after an SMC40 replacement?
Verify encoder identity, direction, stable feedback, zero or reference behavior, fault-free DRIVE-CLiQ communication and the documented machine acceptance tests.
