Overview of the Siemens 6SE7016-0TP60-Z
When your application demands precise motor control and dependable performance, the 6SE7016-0TP60-Z from Siemens stands ready. This vector control inverter is part of the SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES family, engineered for three-phase AC drives. With a nominal power rating of 2.2 kW and an output current of 6.1 A, it suits a wide range of industrial tasks.
Its compact plus design saves panel space while maintaining robust functionality. The inverter includes documentation on CD, simplifying setup and reference.

Key Features and Technical Specifications
Every parameter of the 6SE7016-0TP60-Z is selected for industrial reliability. Below are the core specifications:
- Input Voltage: 510–650 V DC
- Output Voltage: 0–380/480 V AC
- Output Frequency: 0–400 Hz
- Nominal Output Current: 6.1 A
- Nominal Power Rating: 2.2 kW
- Degree of Protection: IP20
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 25.40 x 7.60 x 45.70 cm
- Weight: 4.50 kg
- Main Frequency: 50/60 Hz
- Number of Phases (Input): 3
One distinctive feature is the integrated PROFIBUS communication module (CBP2) inserted at slot B. This enables seamless integration into existing PROFIBUS networks, reducing wiring and simplifying diagnostics.
Applications and Use Cases
Typical uses include conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools. The wide output frequency range up to 400 Hz supports high-speed spindles and specialized machinery.
Moreover, the DC input design makes it suitable for common DC-bus systems, where multiple drives share a single rectifier. This configuration improves energy efficiency and reduces harmonic distortion.
Installation and Setup
Mounting the 6SE7016-0TP60-Z is straightforward. The compact plus design allows for DIN-rail or panel mounting. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to maintain the IP20 protection rating. Connect the DC bus to the input terminals, observing correct polarity. The output connects to the motor, and the PROFIBUS cable plugs into the CBP2 module.
Before power-up, verify that the DC voltage is within the 510–650 V range. Use the documentation CD for detailed wiring diagrams and parameter settings. Always follow local electrical codes and the manufacturer's guidelines.
Maintenance and Reliability
Routine maintenance keeps the inverter running smoothly. Periodically inspect the unit for dust accumulation and ensure cooling fans (if present) operate correctly. Check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear. The IP20 enclosure protects against solid objects larger than 12 mm, but not against moisture, so keep the environment dry.
Because the 6SE7016-0TP60-Z is now obsolete, we recommend verifying long-term support and spare parts availability with your supplier. Regular inspection and proactive replacement of aging components can extend service life.
Compatibility and Integration
The built-in PROFIBUS CBP2 module allows direct connection to Siemens S7 PLCs and other PROFIBUS masters. This simplifies commissioning and enables real-time monitoring. The inverter also supports analog and digital I/O (refer to the datasheet for exact configurations).
For multi-drive systems, the DC bus input enables shared DC-link operation, which is a cost-effective solution for coordinated motion control.
Troubleshooting and Common Issues
If the drive fails to start, check the DC bus voltage and ensure it is within the specified range. Verify that the PROFIBUS address and baud rate match the network settings. If the motor runs erratically, inspect the motor cables for shielding and grounding.
Should the display show an overcurrent fault, confirm that the motor's rated current does not exceed 6.1 A. Also, review the acceleration and deceleration times in the parameters. For persistent issues, consult the official Siemens documentation or contact AutoDCSTech for technical support.
