Installation
- Use 6SL3224-0BE31-8AA0 with a compatible SINAMICS G120 Control Unit and supported firmware for the installed machine.
- Size the motor and protection for the 45.00 A LO or 38.00 A HO current profile actually used.
- Coordinate the integrated Class A filter with the installation EMC and shield concept.
- Keep motor-cable length within 50 m shielded or 100 m unshielded under the documented installation conditions.
- Provide 0.055 m³/s airflow and preserve the FSD mechanical envelope.
Lifecycle
- Siemens lists 6SL3224-0BE31-8AA0 as a spare part with product cancellation effective 1 October 2019.
- Retain the complete 6SL3224-0BE31-8AA0 suffix because it identifies the filtered AA0 construction.
- Record the connected Control Unit, firmware, motor data, parameter set and braking circuit before exchange.
- Confirm the FSD dimensions, 16.00 kg handling weight and m6 bolt, 10.00–50.00 mm² (awg 8–1) during retrofit planning.
- Verify protective devices, cable routing, cooling and commissioning under the machine safety procedure.
