SINAMICS S120 automation components

2.1 System overview

Because SINAMICS S120 can be used to solve sophisticated drive tasks for a very wide

spectrum of industrial applications, it is constructed as a modular system. From the large

number of matched components and functions, users combine just those units that best

match their requirements.

1 Control unit 5 Double Motor Module

2 Active Line Module 6 Terminal Board

3 Smart Line Module 7 Sensor Module Cabinet

4 Single Motor Module 8 Terminal Module

2.2 Control unit

In a CU320 Control Unit, the communications, open- and closed-loop functions execute for

one or more Motor Modules and Active Line Modules. The Control Unit is designed for

multi-axis operation.

Note

Only the CU 320(-2 DP) and CU 310 Control Units are supported when using the

SINAMICS S120 drive system in connection with the technology CPU.
