The Siemens SINAMICS 6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3 is part of the SINAMICS S120 modular drive system — a low-power, single-motor module designed for compact and flexible industrial automation tasks. With a DC-link input voltage range of 510–720 V DC and a 3-phase 400 V AC output, this module supplies a rated output current of 3 A (with capability up to 6 A peak), delivering a nominal motor power of around 1.6 kW.
Built in a booksize format with internal air-cooling, the 6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3 is particularly suited for installations where control-cabinet space is limited, or where multiple axes need to be accommodated in a modular rack. Its compact size and modest power rating make it ideal for light-duty motors or auxiliary axes rather than heavy industrial motors.
Integrated support for the proprietary DRIVE-CLiQ communication interface and extended Safety Integrated functions ensures seamless integration into larger S120 systems — enabling precise control, diagnostics, and safety functionality when combined with a compatible control unit (e.g., CU310 / CU320) and other S120 modules.
This module is often used in applications such as small conveyor drives, auxiliary motors in assembly or packaging machines, small servo or asynchronous motors in light automation, and other low-power tasks where modularity, compactness, and reliability matter.
Overall, Siemens 6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3 offers a cost-effective, space-efficient, and modular solution for controlling small motors in industrial automation systems — balancing power, flexibility, and ease of integration.
