1.Product Overview and System Integration
The Siemens 6SL3120-2TE13-0AD0 is a Dual Motor Module that serves as a key power component in the SINAMICS S120 drive system.It operates on a"common DC bus"principle,where a central power supply module provides a 600V DC bus,and this dual-axis module draws from it to drive two separate motors independently.This architecture is highly efficient for machines with several axes,as it centralizes the power conversion and distributes the motor control.
The module itself functions as a powerful inverter.However,it relies on a separate Siemens Control Unit(e.g.,CU320-2)or a SINUMERIK CNC system for its intelligence.The Control Unit executes all motion control tasks and communicates with the motor module via the integrated DRIVE-CLiQ interface.This digital connection enables automatic configuration,precise control,and comprehensive diagnostics,making commissioning and maintenance significantly more straightforward.
2.Technical Specifications and Design
The 6SL3120-2TE13-0AD0 is defined by a set of robust technical specifications.It is designed for a DC link input voltage range of 510 to 720 V DC,corresponding to an AC line voltage of 380 to 480V.Each of its two channels delivers a rated output current of 3 A,with a maximum current of 9 A per channel,supporting high dynamic overloads.
The module is built in the Booksize Drive Unit format,specifically in frame size D.This"D-type"design is optimized for high-dynamic,intermittent operation with overload capabilities up to 300%,making it suitable for applications with frequent acceleration and deceleration cycles.Cooling is handled by an internal fan that provides forced-air cooling,ensuring reliable heat dissipation within the constraints of a compact cabinet installation.The module also supports"Safety Integrated"functions,enabling it to contribute to a machine's overall safety system,achieving safety integrity level SIL 2 according to IEC 61508.
3.Core Features and Physical Integration
Dual-Axis Control and Space Efficiency
The most significant feature of this module is its ability to control two motors from a single unit.This dual-axis design effectively halves the physical space and mounting hardware required compared to using two separate single-axis modules,leading to a more compact and cost-effective control cabinet design.The Booksize Drive Unit form factor is a key enabler for this,allowing for high-density,side-by-side mounting of multiple units on a single rail within an electrical cabinet.
Comprehensive Connectivity and Interfaces
This Dual Motor Module comes with a comprehensive set of interfaces to simplify system integration.It includes two DC link interfaces via an integrated busbar,a 24V DC power supply busbar for the electronics,and multiple DRIVE-CLiQ sockets for communication.For motor connection,it features two separate connectors(X1 and X2),each with integrated screw terminals for power cables and PE(Protective Earth)connection.Additionally,it provides dedicated connectors for holding brakes(X11,X12)and temperature sensor inputs for each motor,facilitating a clean and organized wiring layout.
4.Performance and Application Benefits
High Dynamic Performance for Demanding Applications
The D-type design of this module is tailored for high dynamic performance.It can deliver up to 300%overload current,which is crucial for applications requiring rapid acceleration and deceleration,such as in robotics,pick-and-place units,or high-speed positioning systems.This ensures that both axes can handle demanding motion profiles without performance degradation.
Simplified System Complexity and Reduced Wiring
By integrating two axes into one module,system designers can achieve a higher axis count within a given panel size.This reduces the total number of components,simplifies internal cabling,and lowers the overall system cost and complexity.The use of the DRIVE-CLiQ system means that the Control Unit automatically recognizes the module and its type,which drastically reduces commissioning time.
5.Primary Application Areas
The 6SL3120-2TE13-0AD0 is ideally suited for multi-axis machinery where space and synchronization are critical.Its robust performance makes it a preferred choice in various industrial sectors.
Advanced Machine Tools:Used in gantry-style systems where two axes need perfectly coordinated movements,or in multi-function heads for drilling,milling,and tapping.
Packaging and Handling Automation:Excels in high-speed packaging machines,printing presses,and material handling systems that require controlling multiple conveyors,feeders,or robotic actuators with precision and reliability.
General Industrial Automation:Serves as a core component in any automated system requiring compact,multi-axis control,such as assembly robots,test stands,and textile machinery.
Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
1.What is the key advantage of using this Dual Motor Module over two separate single motor modules?
The primary advantage is space savings and reduced complexity.A Dual Motor Module combines the functionality of two single-axis modules into one physical unit,reducing the required mounting space in the control cabinet by approximately 50%.This also leads to a reduction in associated hardware,such as mounting rails and connectors,and can simplify system wiring and lower overall costs.
2.How does the"D-type"classification of this Booksize Drive Unit affect its performance?
The"D-type"designation indicates that this module is optimized for high-dynamic,intermittent operation(discontinuous motion).It is designed to handle higher overloads—up to 300%of the rated current—for short durations compared to a"C-type"module(optimized for 200%overload in continuous motion).This makes it the ideal choice for applications with frequent and rapid acceleration/deceleration cycles.
3.What safety features are integrated into this module?
The module supports Siemens'"Safety Integrated"functions.This can include fundamental safety features like Safe Torque Off(STO),which safely prevents the module from generating torque-producing power to the motor.These integrated safety features help the machine achieve required safety performance levels,such as PL d(Performance Level d)according to ISO 13849-1 or SIL 2(Safety Integrity Level)according to IEC 61508.
4.What is included in the delivery scope of the 6SL3120-2TE13-0AD0?
The supply scope includes essential items for integration,such as a pre-assembled DRIVE-CLiQ cable for connecting to adjacent modules,blind plugs for unused DRIVE-CLiQ ports,a jumper for the 24V DC busbar,connectors for the motor holding brakes,and a shield connection kit for the motor cables.This ensures you have the necessary components for a quick and standardized installation.
5.Can the two channels of this dual motor module be controlled independently?
Yes,the two inverter channels are controlled completely independently by the higher-level control unit(e.g.,CU320-2).Each channel can run a different motor type(e.g.,an induction motor and a synchronous servo motor,within the current limit)and execute entirely different motion profiles,providing full independent control over both axes.
