SINAMICS S120Siemens 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module 30A Drive Module
Siemens SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module, 30A rated / 56A peak, booksize C-Type, DRIVE-CLiQ.
Description
About the 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0
About the 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0
The Siemens 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 is a SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module in the book-size C-type frame, converting a 510-720 V DC link into a 3AC 400 V output rated at 30.0 A (IN), with a base-load current of 25.5 A and a peak of 56.0 A. It is delivered with a DRIVE-CLiQ cable, supports Extended Safety Integrated functions, and weighs 7.9 kg.
Selection Notes
This is the entry-current member of the booksize Single Motor Module range covered here, with a 30.0 A rated (IN) / 25.5 A base-load (IH) / 56.0 A peak (Imax) output — pick it for axes whose continuous motor current stays under roughly 25-30 A and size up to the 85 A or 200 A modules for larger motors rather than running this module near its 56 A peak continuously. Extended Safety Integrated support lets it host integrated safety functions (e.g. STO) without an external safety relay. The 4.00 kHz rated pulse frequency with servo control up to 650 Hz output frequency suits high dynamic-response servo axes.
Applications
Used as a single-axis power stage in SINAMICS S120 modular multi-axis drive systems — machine tools, packaging machinery, and handling axes — where the DC link is shared with an Active or Smart Line Module and multiple Motor Modules on the same bus.
