SINAMICS S120 drive system

Overview
SINAMICS S120 is the modular drive system with vector and servo control that is ideal for
sophisticated drive tasks in plant and machine construction.
Multi-axis drive solutions with higher-level motion control can be implemented with the
modular SINAMICS S120 system just the same as solutions for single-axis drives.
Covering a power range from 0.12 kW to 5700 kW and various control modules with a
graduated range of functionality, the modular SINAMICS S120 system can be used to simply
and quickly create a precisely tailored drive configuration – for almost any sophisticated drive
application.
For SINAMICS S120, the drive intelligence is combined with closed-loop control functions in
the Control Units.
These units are capable of controlling drives in the vector, servo and U/f modes. They also
perform the speed and torque control functions plus other intelligent drive functions for all
drive axes.
Using the closed-loop control techniques available, both synchronous as well as induction
motors can be operated, and therefore the complete range of low-voltage motors from
Siemens.
Integrated PROFIBUS DP interfaces ensure easy integration into complete automation
solutions. PROFINET is another of the fieldbus interfaces supported by the system.
