Modular system for complex 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 configuration 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
asynchronous, all motor types are supported by SINAMICS S120.
