The Siemens SINAMICS 6SL3120‑1TE23‑0AA3 is a high‑performance single‑motor drive module from the SINAMICS S120 series, designed to deliver reliable, precise motor control in industrial automation systems. Engineered in a compact “booksize” format, this drive module packs powerful capabilities into a space‑efficient form factor — making it suitable for control cabinets with limited space or multi-axis drive racks.
Operating with a DC‑link input voltage between 510 and 720 V DC (typically 600 V DC) and producing a 3‑phase 400 V AC output, this module delivers a rated output current of 30 A — providing up to 16 kW of motor power under rated conditions. This power rating makes it capable of driving medium‑ to high‑power servo or asynchronous motors in demanding industrial applications.
The integrated internal air cooling enables efficient heat dissipation while maintaining compact dimensions. The module supports optimized PWM/pulse patterns and includes the DRIVE‑CLiQ communication interface for seamless integration within larger automation ecosystems. With support for extended safety functions and modular architecture, 6SL3120‑1TE23‑0AA3 fits well in advanced motion control systems, CNC machines, robotics, conveyors, packaging, and processing equipment.
Despite its power, the booksize form and manageable weight make it easy to install, configure, and maintain — whether in single‑drive setups or multi‑axis installations. It is ideal wherever a balance of compactness, power, and flexibility is required.
