A modular cabinet unit solution for high performance applications in industrial mechanical engineering and plant construction is available together with the SINAMICS S120 cabinet modules. The cabinet modules are particularly suited to applications where several drives must work together coordinated. The drive system is thereby normally made up of several motor modules which are connected to the common DC link.
The Motor Modules are in turn powered by a central Line Module.
This kind of configuration allows an interchange of energy between the individual drives, as well as offering a compact and cost-effective design. By this, the power supply is relieved. It is often possible to use Line Modules with a lower rated power than the total power of the connected Motor Modules. This in turn reduces space and expenditure. The SINAMICS S120 cabinet modules also allow to build up single motor drives with greater power outputs. E.g. a 4.5 MW drive with 24-pulse-input can be realized by connecting several Line and Motor Modules.

The SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules system comprises several individual modules that are perfectly harmonized with one another. Standardized interfaces for the power and communication connections mean that the individual cabinet modules can be combined as required. This allows the user to configure the optimal drive for his application. Not only this, but an extensive range of options allows plant-specific requirements to be very flexibly fulfilled. An extremely compact design and the possibility of pre-configuring the drive system in the plant saves space and minimizes the time and costs associated with installation and commissioning on-site.
Of course, it goes without saying that the cabinet modules also offer the advantages of the SINAMICS S120 Drive System:
- A higher degree of flexibility is achieved by separating the control module and power section.
- Up to 4 vector drives can be connected to one control module. In addition to a safe and cost-saving design, it also allows information to be directly exchanged between the individual drives - therefore relieving the higher-level fieldbus.
- DRIVE-CLiQ, the new interface inside the drive, allows fast and reliable communications between the essential SINAMICS S120 drive components including motors and encoders.
- The PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface integrated as standard allows the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules to be connected to higher-level automation systems such as SIMATIC or SIMOTION.
- The standard and integrated SIZER and STARTER tools provide valuable support when engineering the drive, commissioning it and troubleshooting (diagnostics).
In addition to air cooling, SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules are now also available with an innovative liquid-cooled concept.
Liquid cooling facilitates a significantly more efficient heat dissipation, so that it is not necessary to control the climate of rooms. High levels of energy can be saved as a result of the low energy consumption associated with the liquid cooling. In addition to the energy savings as a result of efficient cooling concept, heat can also be recovered. The cooling water that is heated up as part of the cooling process can be used as a source of heat for the process or for heating.
The advantages of liquid cooling for high power ratings when compared to air cooling are the smaller mounting footprint, lower weight and quiet converter operation. It is predestined for applications where space is restricted or poorly ventilated and in harsh environmental conditions, for example onboard ships, in mining and in the industrial environment as a whole.
Configuring a redundant cooling system by using two pumps in the Heat Exchanger Modules is far more cost effective and can be implemented with lower costs when compared to a redundantly configured climate control system. The maintenance work for the units is less as there are no filter mats to replace.
The modular drive system SINAMICS S120 cabinet modules are particularly suitable for drive tasks where several motors work together. Some typical examples of this are:
- Belt conveyors, cranes, ship's drives, test stands, cross cutters, roll changers, roller feeds
- Winders / unwinders, leadind / following drives, calenders, mechanical presses, rolling mill drives
- Branch Chemical Industry
- SINAMICS S120 CM air cooled

- SINAMICS S120 CM liquid cooled
for industrial applications specially involving drives in harsh environmental conditions, for instance in the process industry, automotive industry, test stands as well as mining
- SINAMICS S120 CM Application Marine Drive
for marine applications with the certificates for the relevant marine classification societies (e.g. DNV-GL, ABS, LR, BV, CCS).
- SINAMICS S120 CM Application Shaft Generator Drive
for the onboard ship supply using shaft-mounted generators and for supplying stand-alone systems (island operation)
SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules, air-cooled and liquid-cooled
SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules are the components of a modular cabinet system for multi-motor drives with a central supply infeed and a common DC link busbar, as used, for example, in the process industry, automotive industry, metal processing industry as well as in the crane and mining domains. They are available in air-cooled or liquid-cooled versions. As standard, they are installed side by side in a row. Other installation types (e.g. back to back) are possible on request. SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules include the chassis units from the SINAMICS S120 series in booksize format (Motor Modules) and chassis format, thus making the range an ideal supplement to the SINAMICS G150 and SINAMICS S150 cabinet converter series for single-motor drives.
All drive components, from the supply infeed to the motor-side inverters, are configured in a clear, compact layout in the individual Cabinet Modules. They can be flexibly combined and optimally adapted to customer-specific requirements thanks to a comprehensive array of options.
The main components of the air-cooled system are as follows:
The main components of the liquid-cooled system are as follows:
Standardized interfaces for both the power and the control connections facilitate engineering and installation. Communication between the power modules and the central Control Unit takes place via DRIVE‑CLiQ, the internal drive serial interface.

The outstanding system features of the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules provide the following advantages:
- Process optimization with minimum outlay + A standard PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface and various analog and digital interfaces enables easy integration into automation solutionsSINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules have been specially developed to allow simple configuration of multi-motor systems. They are used for applications where several motors must be coordinated to realize a drive task as multi-motor drives in a drive line-up. Examples of such applications include:
- Packaging machines
High-power single drives (parallel connection) can also be implemented with Cabinet Modules.
They have been designed according to the zone concept principle and therefore offer the highest possible level of operational reliability. EMC measures have been rigorously implemented. With the help of simulated conditions, partitions have been designed to act as air guides and heat dissipation units.
Special measures used in the construction of the cabinets ensure that they remain mechanically durable over their entire life cycle.
Attention has been paid to providing a wide range of cable routing options and special design concepts are applied consistently to broaden the scope of application and simplify service. The units have all the necessary connections and connecting elements. Thanks to their carefully considered configuration concept, cabinets are shipped in a ready-to-connect state or, in the case of multiple transport units, have been prepared for quick assembly. An extensive spectrum of options designed to adapt the units to a variety of different applications facilitates the selection process.
All components, from individual parts to the ready-to-connect cabinet, undergo rigorous testing throughout the entire production process. This guarantees a high level of functional reliability during installation and commissioning, as well as in operation.
Replaceable components have been designed so that they can be quickly and easily replaced. In addition, the "Spares On Web" Internet tool makes it easy to view the spare parts that are available for the particular order at all times 1).
1) The properties of the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules described in this catalog are not transferable to cabinet units constructed to meet the requirements of specific applications.
Line Modules are coupled with the various Motor Modules by means of prefabricated busbar sets with different current carrying capacities.
All standard busbars, as well as electronics components, are protected against environmental influences. This is achieved through the use of nickel-plated copper bars and painted modules throughout.
A special, standard auxiliary power supply system supplies the individual Cabinet Modules with the required auxiliary voltages for the power components, fans and 24 V loads.
These voltages are preferably generated using an auxiliary power supply module. Additional supply possibilities are available using the K76 option (auxiliary power supply generation in the Line Connection Module) or using an external supply in the auxiliary power supply system.
The auxiliary power supply system comprises an auxiliary power supply module with two terminal blocks (air cooling) and one auxiliary voltage terminal (liquid cooling) and a 24 V DC fuse as well as the required connecting cables. It is supplied completely assembled and ready to operate. Only the cable connections to the adjacent Cabinet Module must be established on-site.
Communication between the Control Unit, power units and other active SINAMICS components is realized via DRIVE‑CLiQ connections.
DRIVE‑CLiQ is an internal serial interface of the drive that enables fast and easy configuration of the complete drive line-up with prefabricated cables in varying lengths.
The Cabinet Modules can be optionally supplied in pre-configured transport units up to a total length of 2400 mm. This option is particularly recommended in air-cooled Cabinet Modules for Line Modules together with Line Connection Modules since, in this case, the Line Connection Module must be equipped with a pre-charging DC link or line reactors (depending on the type of Line Module), in addition to the electrical interface (busbar). For liquid-cooled Cabinet Modules, delivery in transport units has the advantage that the tube system of the cooling system can be implemented completely without couplings. Transport units thus enable the various devices to be quickly and easily assembled on-site.
The following devices are equipped with coated modules as standard:
- Booksize format units
The coating on the modules protects the sensitive SMD components against corrosive gases, chemically active dust and moisture.
All of the copper busbars used in the converter cabinets are nickel-plated to achieve the best possible immunity to environmental effects. Furthermore, there is no need to clean the contacts on the customer terminals as otherwise required for bare copper connections.
Note:
With some options, parts of the copper busbars cannot be nickel-plated for technical reasons.
The Cabinet Modules are delivered with a PE bar as standard. It is used to connect and fasten PE conductors.
The EN 60529 standard covers the protection of electrical equipment by means of housings, covers or equivalent, and includes:
- Protection of persons against accidental contact with live or moving parts within the housing and protection of the equipment against the ingress of solid foreign bodies (touch protection and protection against ingress of solid foreign bodies)
The degrees of protection are specified by abbreviations comprising the code letters IP and two digits.

Air-cooled Cabinet Modules meet degree of protection IP20, liquid-cooled Cabinet Modules degree of protection IP21, as standard. The other degrees of protection outlined here are available as an option.
As the customer interface to the control system, a PROFIBUS interface is available on the CU320-2 DP Control Unit or a PROFINET interface on the CU320-2 PN Control Unit as standard.
In the case of the air-cooled Cabinet Modules, the inputs and outputs available as standard on the customer terminal block -X55, which are easy to access and easy to connect up, can be provided.
In the case of the liquid-cooled Cabinet Modules, the components are directly connected.
For further information, please refer to the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.
SINAMICS S120 can use a dynamic, high-precision closed-loop vector control (drive object type VECTOR), or a highly dynamic closed-loop servo control (drive object type SERVO).
The software functions available as standard are described below:
Software and protective functions |
Description |
---|---|
Setpoint input |
The setpoint can be specified both internally and externally; internally as a fixed setpoint, motorized potentiometer setpoint or jog setpoint, externally via the communications interface or an analog input. The internal fixed setpoint and the motorized potentiometer setpoint can be switched or adjusted via control commands from any interface. |
Motor identification |
The automatic motor identification function makes commissioning faster and easier and optimizes closed-loop control of the drive. |
Ramp-function generator |
A user-friendly ramp-function generator with separately adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down times, together with adjustable rounding times in the lower and upper speed ranges, allows the drive to be smoothly accelerated and braked. This results in a good speed control response and plays its role in reducing the stress on the mechanical system. The down ramp can be parameterized separately for a quick stop. |
Vdc max controller |
The Vdc max controller automatically prevents overvoltages in the DC link, if the set down ramp is too short, for example. This may also extend the set ramp-down time. Note: This function only makes sense for single-axis applications. |
Kinetic buffering (KIP) |
For brief line supply failures, the kinetic energy of the rotating drive is used to buffer the DC link and therefore prevents fault trips. The drive converter remains operational as long as the drive can provide regenerative energy as a result of its motion and the DC link voltage does not drop below the shutdown threshold. When the line supply recovers within this time, the drive is again bumplessly accelerated up to its setpoint speed. |
Automatic restart |
The automatic restart switches the drive on again when the power is restored after a power failure, and ramps up to the current speed setpoint. |
Flying restart |
The flying restart function allows the converter to be switched to a motor that is still turning. With the voltage sensing capability provided by the optional VSM10, the flying restart time for large induction motors can be significantly reduced because the motor does not need to be de-magnetized. |
Technology controller |
Using the technology controller (PID controller) function module, level or flow controls and complex tension controls can be implemented, for example. The existing D component can act both on the system deviation well as on the actual value (factory setting). The P, I, and D components are set separately. |
Free function blocks |
Using the freely programmable function blocks, it is easy to implement logic and arithmetic functions for controlling the SINAMICS drive. The blocks can be programmed at the operator panel or the STARTER commissioning tool. |
Drive Control Chart (DCC) |
Drive Control Chart (DCC) is an additional tool for the easy configuration of technological functions for SINAMICS. The block library contains a large selection of control, arithmetic and logic blocks as well as extensive open-loop and closed-loop control functions. The user-friendly DCC editor enables easy graphics-based configuration, allows control loop structures to be clearly represented and provides a high degree of reusability of charts that have already been created. DCC is an add-on for the STARTER commissioning tool (→ Tools and Engineering). |
I2t sensing for motor protection |
A motor model stored in the converter software calculates the motor temperature based on the current speed and load. More exact measurement of the temperature, which also takes into account the influence of the ambient temperature, is possible by means of direct temperature measurement using KTY84 sensors in the motor winding. |
Motor temperature evaluation |
Motor protection by evaluating a KTY84, PTC or Pt100 temperature sensor. When a KTY84 temperature sensor is connected, the limit values can be set for alarm or shutdown. When a PTC thermistor is connected, the system reaction to triggering of the thermistor (alarm or trip) can be defined. |
Motor blocking protection |
A blocked motor is detected and protected against thermal overloading by a fault trip. |
Brake control |
“Simple brake control” for controlling holding brakes: The "extended braking control" function module allows complex braking control, for example, for motor holding brakes and operational brakes. |
Write protection |
Write protection to prevent unintentional changing of the setting parameters (without password function). |
Know-how protection |
Know‑how protection for encrypting stored data, e.g. to protect expert configuring knowledge, and to protect against modification and duplication (with password function). |
Web server |
The integrated web server provides information about the drive unit via its web pages. The web server is accessed using a web browser via unsecured (http) or secured transfer protocol (https). |
Power unit protection |
Description |
---|---|
Ground fault monitoring at the output |
A ground fault at the output is detected by a total current monitor and results in shutdown in grounded systems. |
Electronic short-circuit protection at the output |
A short-circuit at the output (e.g. at the converter output terminals, in the motor cable or in the motor terminal box) is detected and the converter shuts down with a "fault". |
Thermal overload protection |
An alarm is issued first when the overtemperature threshold responds. If the temperature continues to rise, the unit either shuts down or independently adjusts the pulse frequency or output current so that thermal load is reduced. Once the cause of the fault has been eliminated (e.g. cooling has been improved), the original operating values are automatically resumed. |
The most important directives and standards are listed below. These are used as basis for the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules and they must be carefully observed to achieve an EMC-compliant configuration that is safe both in terms of functionally and in operation.

Power is fed to the drive line-up via Line Modules, which generate a DC voltage from the line voltage and, therefore, supply energy to the Motor Modules connected to the DC link. They are suitable for connection to grounded TN/TT and non-grounded IT systems.
The Line Modules are connected to the line supply system via Line Connection Modules and are equipped as standard according to Category C3. Category C3 is part of the "second environment" (in accordance with EN 61800-3). The “second environment” constitutes locations outside residential areas or industrial sites which are supplied from the medium-voltage network via a separate transformer.
The range of Line Modules has power ratings from 132 kW to 900 kW (380 V to 480 V) and from 250 kW to 1500 kW (500 V to 690 V). Furthermore, up to four identical Line Modules can be connected in parallel in order to increase the power rating.
For a compact configuration, Line Connection Modules up to input currents of 3200 A are available. Two Line Modules can be operated in parallel on these Line Connection Modules.
The following types of Line Module are available:
Basic Line Modules
Basic Line Modules are designed only for infeed operation, i.e. they are not capable of recovering energy to the line supply.
If regenerative energy is produced, e.g. when the drives brake, then it must be converted to heat by means of a Braking Module and a braking resistor.
When a Basic Line Module is used as the infeed, a line reactor appropriate to the supply conditions must be installed. Line reactors are generally required if two or more Basic Line Modules are operated in parallel on a common supply system in order to increase power.
For this reason, line reactors are installed in the appropriate Line Connection Module as standard.
Line Connection Module with Basic Line Module ≤800 A
Line Connection Module with Basic Line Module >800 A
If, for example, a converter transformer is used to connect to the line supply (12-pulse operation), it may be possible to omit line reactors (depending on the supply conditions on site) and they can be optionally deselected (option L22 for a Line Connection Module combined with a Basic Line Module).
For a compact configuration, Line Connection Modules with input currents of up to 3200 A are available. Two Basic Line Modules can be operated in parallel on these Line Connection Modules. Versions with line-side fuses are available for parallel connections in order to provide selective protection of the individual Basic Line Modules.
Line Connection Module with Basic Line Modules connected in parallel
Smart Line Modules
Smart Line Modules can supply energy to the DC link and return regenerative energy to the supply system. Braking Modules and braking resistors are required only if the drives need to be decelerated in a controlled manner after a power failure (i.e. when energy cannot be recovered to the supply). When a Smart Line Module is used as the infeed, the necessary line reactor is included in the device as standard and can be optionally deselected (option L22).
Line Connection Module with Smart Line Module ≤800 A
Line Connection Module with Smart Line Module >800 A
Line Connection Module with Smart Line Modules connected in parallel
Active Line Modules
Active Line Modules can supply energy to the DC link and return regenerative energy to the supply system. Braking Modules and braking resistors are required only if the drives need to be decelerated in a controlled manner after a power failure (i.e. when energy cannot be recovered to the supply).
In contrast to Basic Line Modules and Smart Line Modules, however, Active Line Modules generate a regulated DC voltage which remains constant despite fluctuations in the line voltage. However, in this case, the line voltage must remain within the permissible tolerance range. Active Line Modules draw a virtually sinusoidal current from the supply which limits any harmful harmonics.
Active Line Modules must always be used in conjunction with an Active Interface Module. Active Interface Modules include the required pre-charging circuit for the Active Line Module in addition to a Clean Power Filter. For SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules, these two components are always regarded as a single unit.
Line Connection Module with Active Interface Module and Active Line Module ≤ 800 A (example frame size HX + HI)
Line Connection Module with Active Interface Module and Active Line Module >800 A
In the example, two units comprising an Active Interface Module and Active Line Module are connected in parallel to jointly supply the DC link.

Braking Modules enable braking resistors to absorb the regenerative energy produced during drive deceleration, which is then converted into heat. Using a Braking Module and a braking resistor, it is possible to brake motors even when the power fails.
Braking Modules as a Line Module or Motor Module option
For lower braking powers, Braking Modules are available with continuous braking powers up to 50 kW. These Braking Modules are ordered as an option for the Line Modules and Motor Modules (order codes L61/L64 (25 kW) or L62/L65(50 kW), refer to the option description).
Central Braking Modules
For higher continuous braking powers, separate Central Braking Modules are available. These modules are used centrally in the drive line-up. To increase the braking power, up to four Central Braking Modules can be connected in parallel.
There are two different types of Motor Module available with the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules drive system.
Booksize Base Cabinets with Booksize Cabinet Kits
Motor Modules at the low end of the power range from 4.8 kW to 71 kW (380 V to 480 V) can be implemented as Booksize Cabinet Kits installed in Booksize Base Cabinets.
Chassis Cabinets
Each Chassis Cabinet is fitted with one SINAMICS S120 Motor Module in chassis format and covers the power range from 75 kW to 1200 kW (380 V to 480 V or 500 V to 690 V). The power rating can be extended up to approx. 4500 kW by connecting up to four Motor Modules in the chassis format in parallel.
SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules in chassis format can also be used as a Braking Module (braking chopper) if a 3-phase braking resistor is connected instead of a motor.
For more information on this topic, please refer to the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.
Auxiliary Power Supply Modules supply power to the auxiliary power supply system of the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules.
Units connected to this auxiliary power supply system include the fans of the SINAMICS S120 devices installed in the Cabinet Modules. In addition, the auxiliary power supply system supplies the electronic modules with an external 24 V DC voltage. This is required when the DC link is not charged, for instance, in order to maintain PROFIBUS or PROFINET communication.

Radio interference suppression |
SINAMICS drive converter systems are not designed for connection to the public grid (first environment). Radio interference suppression is compliant with the EMC product standard for variable-speed drives EN 61800‑3, "Second environment" (industrial networks). EMC disturbances can occur when connected to the public power networks. However, if additional measures are taken (e.g. → line filter), it can also be operated in the "first environment". |

Deviations from the specified class are underlined.
SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules and the associated system components are rated for an ambient temperature of 40 °C and installation altitudes up to 2000 m above sea level.
At ambient temperatures > 40 °C, the output current must be reduced. Ambient temperatures above 50 °C are not permissible.
At installation altitudes > 2000 m above sea level, it must be taken into account that the air pressure, and therefore air density, decreases as the height increases. As a consequence, the cooling efficiency and the insulation capacity of the air also decrease.
Due to the reduced cooling efficiency, it is necessary to both reduce the ambient temperature and lower heat loss in the Cabinet Module by reducing the output current, whereby ambient temperatures lower than 40 °C may be offset to compensate.
The following table specifies the permissible output currents as a function of the installation altitude and ambient temperature for the various degrees of protection. (The permissible compensation between installation altitude and the ambient temperatures < 40 °C – air intake temperature at the entry to the Cabinet Module – has been taken into account in the specified values.)
The values apply under the precondition that it is guaranteed that the cooling air, as specified in the technical data, flows through the units as a result of the cabinet arrangement.
As additional measure for installation altitudes from 2000 m up to 5000 m, an isolating transformer is required in order to reduce transient overvoltages according to EN 60664‑1.
For additional information, please refer to the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.

Current derating for SINAMICS S120 Motor Modules, chassis format as a function of the pulse frequency
To reduce motor noise or to increase output frequency, the pulse frequency can be increased relative to the factory setting (1.25 kHz or 2 kHz). When the pulse frequency is increased, the derating factor of the output current must be taken into account. This derating factor must be applied to the currents specified in the technical specifications.
Further information is provided in the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual.

SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules with power units in booksize format and the associated system components are rated for an ambient temperature of 40 °C and installation altitudes up to 1000 m above sea level. If SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules with power units in booksize format are operated at ambient temperatures higher than 40 °C and/or installation altitudes higher than 1000 m above sea level, then the corresponding derating functions must be taken into account as a function of the ambient temperature and/or the installation altitude. These derating factors are different from the derating factors for the chassis format power units and are listed in Catalog PM 21.
SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules have an overload reserve, e.g. to handle breakaway torques. If larger surge loads occur, this must be taken into account when configuring. For drives with overload requirements, the appropriate base load current must, therefore, be used as a basis for the required load.
Permissible overload assumes that the drive converter is operated at its base-load current before and after the overload occurs, based on a duty cycle duration of 300 s.
For temporary, periodic duty cycles with high variations of load within the duty cycle, the relevant sections of the SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual must be observed.
Motor Modules in chassis format
Motor Modules with power units in the chassis format can be configured on the basis of different base load currents.
The base-load current for a low overload IL is the basis for a duty cycle of 110 % for 60 s or 150 % for 10 s.
Low overload
The base-load current IH for a high overload is based on a load cycle of 150 % for 60 s or 160 % for 10 s.
High overload
Motor Modules in booksize format
Motor Modules with power units in the booksize format have the following overload capabilities:
High overload
Line Modules in chassis format
The base-load current for a high overload IH DC is the basis for a duty cycle of 150 % for 60 s or Imax DC for 5 s.
Auxiliary Power Supply Modules supply the auxiliary power supply for the SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules. Units connected to this auxiliary power supply system include the fans of the SINAMICS S120 devices installed in the Cabinet Modules. In addition, the auxiliary power supply system supplies the electronic modules with an external voltage of 24 V DC. This is required when the DC link is not charged, for instance, in order to maintain PROFIBUS/PROFINET communication.
The Auxiliary Power Supply Module is connected in the customer's plant to a voltage corresponding to the respective rated unit voltage.
The standard version contains the following components:
