SINAMICS S120 drive system

Modular system for sophisticated drive tasks
SINAMICS S120 solves complex drive tasks for a wide range of industrial applications and
is, therefore, designed as a modular system. Users can choose from many different
harmonized components and functions to create a solution that best meets their
requirements. SIZER, a high-performance engineering tool, makes it easier to choose and
determine the optimum drive configuration. SINAMICS S120 is supplemented by a wide
range of motors. Whether synchronous or asynchronous, all motor types are supported by
SINAMICS S120.
Particularly suitable for multi-axis applications
Coordinated drives that carry out drive tasks together are used in many mechanical and
plant engineering applications, including running gears in gantry cranes, stretching systems
in the textile industry, or paper machines and rolling mills. These require drives with a
connected DC link, which allows cost-saving energy balancing between braking and driving
axes.
SINAMICS S120 features Power Modules (AC-AC converters), Line Modules (infeed
modules) and Motor Modules (inverter modules) covering a wide power range which, having
been designed for seamless integration, pave the way for compact multi-axis drive
configurations.
