Siemens 6SL3060-4AU00-0AA0 | SINAMICS DRIVE-CLiQ Preassembled Signal Cable — 0.60m, IP20/IP20

Part Number: 6SL3060-4AU00-0AA0

Manufacturer: Siemens AG (Germany)

Product Type: DRIVE-CLiQ Preassembled Signal Cable — Without 24VDC Cores 

Overview

The 6SL3060-4AU00-0AA0 is a preassembled DRIVE-CLiQ signal cable, 0.60m in length, for connecting SINAMICS S110 and S120 drive components. It carries DRIVE-CLiQ — Siemens' serial communication protocol for drive component interconnection — between the Control Unit and Motor Modules, Active Line Modules, Sensor Modules, and other DRIVE-CLiQ-capable devices.

The cable is supplied factory-terminated with straight IP20 connectors at both ends. No field assembly or termination is required. DRIVE-CLiQ cables without 24VDC cores — the type this cable represents — carry only the data and lower-voltage signals. They are used where the receiving component has its own power supply and does not draw 24VDC through the DRIVE-CLiQ connection.

At 0.60m, this is one of the shorter lengths in Siemens' Motion-Connect cable range. It suits adjacent-component connections within a cabinet, between booksize components on the same mounting rail, or between compact components with short inter-module spacing.

Key Specifications

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between a DRIVE-CLiQ cable with and without 24VDC cores?

Cables with 24VDC cores supply control voltage to the connected component through the DRIVE-CLiQ cable itself. Cables without 24VDC cores — like the 6SL3060-4AU00-0AA0 — carry data only. Use the appropriate type based on whether the connected component requires 24V through the DRIVE-CLiQ interface or has an independent power connection.

Q2: Can a longer DRIVE-CLiQ cable be used if 0.60m is too short for the installation?

Yes. Siemens offers the same DRIVE-CLiQ cable in multiple lengths within the 6SL3060 series. The maximum DRIVE-CLiQ cable length between devices is 100m. Select a length from Siemens' Motion-Connect cable range that covers the required distance without excessive slack.

Q3: The SINAMICS Control Unit cannot detect a Motor Module after a cable was replaced. Could the 6SL3060-4AU00-0AA0 be defective?

First check the cable is seated firmly at both connectors — a partial connection is a common cause of DRIVE-CLiQ topology errors. Inspect the connector pins for damage or contamination. If the cable appears undamaged and seated, try a known-good cable to isolate whether the cable or the connected component is at fault.

Q4: Does the IP20 rating of the cable connectors limit where the cable can be used?

IP20 connectors are rated for use inside control cabinets with no direct exposure to moisture, dust, or mechanical contact. They are suitable for standard industrial panel installations. For environments outside a cabinet enclosure, Siemens offers DRIVE-CLiQ cables with higher IP protection ratings.

Q5: Is the 6SL3060-4AU00-0AA0 compatible with SINAMICS G120 and G130 drives?

DRIVE-CLiQ is used across multiple SINAMICS platforms, but cable compatibility depends on the specific connector type used on each module. Confirm that the target G120 or G130 component uses a standard DRIVE-CLiQ IP20 connector before using this cable. Not all SINAMICS G-series components include DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces.
