Product Overview
The Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z is a SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES Motion Control Performance 2 inverter compact unit from the MasterDrives series. Designed as an AC/DC drive, it handles 510–650 V DC input and delivers 0–380/480 V AC output across 0–400 Hz. With a nominal power rating of 2.2 kW and a current capacity of 6.1 A, this three-phase unit is suited for precise motor control in industrial automation. The unit carries an IP20 protection rating and is now designated as obsolete by the manufacturer.
At PLC Source PRO, we offer the Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z as a reliable spare for legacy systems. Understanding its capabilities and limitations helps you plan for upgrades or maintain existing installations.

Application Scenarios
The Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z excels in motion control applications requiring precise speed and torque regulation. Common uses include conveyor systems, machine tool spindles, and material handling equipment. In legacy installations where MasterDrives infrastructure remains, this module provides a drop-in replacement to extend equipment life. For new projects, consider this unit only if existing MasterDrives components dictate compatibility; otherwise, upgrading to a current-generation Siemens drive may offer better efficiency and support.
When replacing a similar failed drive, the Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z restores functionality without re-engineering the control cabinet. Its compact footprint—43.2 x 34.2 x 35.4 cm—fits easily into existing enclosures. Always verify the Z-option configuration before ordering to ensure it matches your variant.
Maintenance & Reliability
Although obsolete, the Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z is built to Siemens’ high industrial standards. Regular maintenance includes inspecting cooling fans, cleaning dust from the IP20 enclosure, and checking DC bus capacitors for aging. Because spares are no longer manufactured, proactive replacement planning is critical. Use this module as a temporary fix while sourcing a long-term upgrade. For maximum reliability in legacy systems, maintain a stock of known-good units.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z, confirm that your system requires the MasterDrives MC series. Check the Z-option code in your original equipment documentation—this unit includes the Z option and may need additional accessories for your setup. Because the product is obsolete, availability is limited. PLC Source PRO (contact via ubest101) maintains a carefully tested inventory of this module to support your installed base. Buy only from experienced suppliers who can verify functional condition and compatibility.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Common issues with the Siemens 6SE7016-1TA71-Z include fault codes related to DC link overvoltage or undervoltage. Ensure the DC input stays within 510–650 V. If the unit fails to start, check the Z-option configuration and confirm that control wiring matches the expected input. For output issues, verify that the motor connection is correct and that the drive is not in a trip state. Consult the original MasterDrives documentation for detailed fault code resolution.
