SINAMICS S120 drive system

Modular system for sophisticated drive tasks
SINAMICS S120 solves demanding 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 enhanced by a wide range of
motors. Whether synchronous or induction, 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 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.
