SINAMICS G120
The modular, safe and energy-efficient drive system

SINAMICS G120 is the universal variable speed drive that

addresses a full range of industry requirements. Machinery
construction, automotive, textiles, printing, packaging and
the chemical industry — they all trust in the well-proven
SINAMICS G120 solutions. Whatsmore, the G120 is currently
used around the world in higher-level applications such as
material handling, steel and oil-and-gas. In addition, the
G120 can be used for regenerative energy recovery.
The SINAMICS G120’s modular design, comprised of the
Control Unit (CU) and Power Module (PM), is offered in a
power range extending from 0.37 kW up to 250 kW, making
it the perfect system for standard applications. Its wide
range of available components allows you to optimally
configure the drive as required for your particular
application.
It’s as easy as combining the corresponding modules based
upon the system hardware, safety and communications
requirements. The G120 is continually being innovated to
include new elements and options, still maintaining the
high degree of user-friendliness — from installation
through to maintenance.

SINAMICS G120 —
User-friendliness through modularity

Flexible combinability, high degree of operator

friendliness and standard software make SINAMICS
G120 a user-friendly solution from the very start.

The modularity offers many advantages:

• Parts can be selected quickly and easily
• Lower costs and parts can be replaced faster
when service is required
• Fewer parts have to be stocked Power Control Operator Standard drive
• Can be easily expanded Module Unit panel SINAMICS G120
• High reliability through integrated communication (optional)

A systematic approach to better
energy efficiency

By controlling the speed as required by the specific application and regenerating braking energy up to
directly into the line supply, our drives can slash energy usage by up to 65 percent. Moreover,
integrated energy-saving functions can reduce your power costs even further. 65%

PROFINET, which allows loads to be shut down in
non-operational periods — coordinated and centrally-

Additional energy-saving functions
• Flux reduction to reduce motor currents in the partial

Safety Integrated — the intelligent response
to increased safety demands

Wherever objects are moved, there is an increased risk of injury

to people and damage to machines. The SINAMICS G120 offers
Safety Integrated and provides the solutions that reliably
master hazardous situations. It has significantly shorter
response times and a higher degree of functionality —
productivity is mostly maintained and occasionally even
increased. The components are certified according to IEC
61508 / SIL2, EN ISO 13849-1 Cat. 3 and PL d.
