Complete System Bill of Materials
The CU250D-2 DP (6SL3544-0FB20-1FA0) is the control unit only. A complete SINAMICS G120D drive system requires:
- Power Module: PM250D (e.g., 6SL3525-0PE21-8AA1 for 1.5 kW) or PM240D series
- Motor: SIEMENS 1LE1 / 1LA series induction motor or third-party IEC motor
- Fieldbus Cable: PROFIBUS DP shielded cable (e.g., 6XV1830-0EH10)
- Termination Resistor: Required at bus ends (120 Ω)
- Operator Panel (optional): BOP-2 (6SL3255-0AA00-4CA1) for local parameterization
- PC Connection Cable (optional): USB-to-RS232 adapter for STARTER software
Compliance & Industry Standards
- CE Marked — EU Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU & EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
- UL Listed (File E164110) — suitable for North American installations
- IEC 61800-5-1: Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems — safety requirements
- IEC 61800-3: EMC requirements for drive systems

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 6SL3544-0FB20-1FA0 be used without a PROFIBUS network?
A: Yes. The CU250D-2 DP supports standalone operation via digital I/O control or local BOP-2 operator panel. PROFIBUS is optional.
Q: What is the maximum motor power this control unit supports?
A: The CU250D-2 DP is compatible with PM250D and PM240D power modules ranging from 0.75 kW to 7.5 kW (400 V AC). Motor power is determined by the Power Module selected.
Q: Is this unit compatible with SIMATIC S7-300 / S7-400 PLCs?
A: Yes. Via PROFIBUS DP, the G120D integrates natively with S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1500 using standard GSD files available from SIEMENS.
Q: Can I use TIA Portal to parameterize this drive?
A: Yes. SINAMICS G120D is fully supported in TIA Portal V14 and above via the Drive Control Chart (DCC) function block library.
Q: What encoder types are supported?
A: The CU250D-2 DP supports HTL (High Threshold Logic) and TTL incremental encoders for closed-loop vector control applications.
Q: Is the IP65 rating on the control unit itself?
A: IP65 protection is achieved when the CU250D-2 DP is correctly mated with a compatible PM250D or PM240D power module. The control unit alone is not IP65 rated.
