Overview, SINAMICS S120 AC Drive

1.4
SINAMICS S120 AC Drive is a modular drive system for individual axes and addresses
sophisticated drive tasks for an extremely wide range of industrial applications.
Applications include:
• Machine concepts with a central drive (e.g. presses, printing, packaging)
• Modular machine concepts where the machine modules broken down to single axes
• Single-motor drives that when compared to standard drives have a high accuracy,
• Single-motor drives for transport applications (conveying, raising, lowering)
• Drives without regenerative feedback into the line supply (wire-drawing, extruding)
• Drive groups with high requirements placed on the availability (when the infeed fails, this
The combination of a power unit (Power Module) and a Control Unit (CU) or a Control Unit
Adapter form a single-motor drive in a compact design for machinery and plant construction.
SIZER, a high-performance engineering tool, makes it easier to choose and determine the
optimum drive configuration. The drive can be simply commissioned a user-friendly fashion
using the STARTER commissioning tool.
SINAMICS S120 AC Drive is supplemented by a wide range of motors. Whether
synchronous or induction, whether rotary or linear motors, all motor types are supported by
SINAMICS S120 AC Drive.
