SIEMENS 6SL3100-0BE31-2AB0 Active Interface Module – SINAMICS S120 Series
When a drive system loses its active front-end interface, the consequences on the production floor are immediate and severe: uncontrolled harmonic distortion floods the power grid, regenerative braking energy has nowhere to go, and the entire SINAMICS S120 drive line trips offline. Unplanned downtime in high-throughput manufacturing, paper mills, or metal processing plants can cost thousands of dollars per hour. The SIEMENS 6SL3100-0BE31-2AB0 Active Interface Module (AIM) is the critical bridge between the supply network and the Active Line Module — without it, the system simply cannot operate safely or efficiently.
The 6SL3100-0BE31-2AB0 is engineered for the SINAMICS S120 Booksize format, Siemens’ flagship multi-axis servo and vector drive platform trusted in automotive body shops, semiconductor fabs, packaging lines, and offshore wind turbine test rigs worldwide. Within the S120 family, this AIM variant supports a 380–480 V AC input range and is designed to work in tandem with the Active Line Module to deliver near-unity power factor (cos φ ≈ 1) and ultra-low THDi, meeting the most stringent grid codes including IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-12. Its position in the global industrial automation market is unambiguous: it is the preferred front-end conditioning solution for engineers who demand regenerative capability and grid compliance in a compact booksize footprint.

Key Features & Benefits
- Active Front End (AFE) Technology: Achieves near-unity power factor and dramatically reduces harmonic current injection into the supply network, protecting sensitive equipment sharing the same bus.
- Regenerative Braking: Returns braking energy back to the supply grid instead of dissipating it as heat, reducing energy consumption and eliminating the need for braking resistors in many applications.
- DRIVE-CLiQ Integration: Plug-and-play digital communication with the SINAMICS S120 Control Unit and Active Line Module enables automatic parameter identification and simplified commissioning via STARTER or TIA Portal.
- Compact Booksize Format: Optimized for high-density control cabinet installations, minimizing panel footprint without sacrificing power density.
- Wide Input Voltage Tolerance: ±10% voltage tolerance ensures stable operation in regions with fluctuating grid quality.
- Robust EMC Performance: Integrated EMC filter options and shielding design meet Category C2/C3 requirements, reducing interference with adjacent automation equipment.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Automotive Manufacturing: Body-in-white welding lines, press transfer systems, and paint shop conveyor drives requiring regenerative energy recovery.
- Paper & Printing: Winder/unwinder drives and multi-section web tension control systems demanding ultra-low harmonic distortion.
- Metal Processing: Rolling mills, coil handling, and wire drawing machines with high dynamic braking requirements.
- Packaging & Converting: High-speed servo-driven packaging lines with frequent acceleration/deceleration cycles.
- Semiconductor & Electronics: Cleanroom HVAC variable-speed drives and precision motion stages requiring grid-clean power.
- Renewable Energy Test Rigs: Wind turbine nacelle test benches and motor test stands with four-quadrant operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the difference between the Active Interface Module and a standard line filter?
- A: A standard passive line filter only attenuates harmonics already present. The Active Interface Module works in conjunction with the Active Line Module to actively control the input current waveform, achieving near-unity power factor and THDi typically below 5% — far superior to passive solutions.
- Q: Is the 6SL3100-0BE31-2AB0 compatible with SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules?
- A: No. The 6SL3100-0BE31-2AB0 is designed for the Booksize format. Cabinet Module installations use a different AIM variant. Please confirm your drive format before ordering.
- Q: Can this module be used without an Active Line Module?
- A: No. The AIM is a companion module to the Active Line Module (ALM) and cannot function independently. It must be installed upstream of the ALM as part of the complete active front-end assembly.
- Q: Do you provide a warranty on this part?
- A: Yes. Konmask.com provides a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects on all verified genuine units. Terms are detailed in our quotation documentation.
- Q: What certifications does this module carry?
- A: The 6SL3100-0BE31-2AB0 carries CE marking, UL/cUL listing, and complies with EN 61800-3 for variable-speed electrical power drive systems.
