SINAMICS G120D distributed variable frequency drive

The SINAMICS G120D distributed variable frequency drive is the first choice for horizontal or vertical motion applications in industrial environments.

The SINAMICS G120D handles demanding horizontal and vertical motion tasks.

Suitable for conveyor systems, electric monorails and material handling in automotive, airports and consumer packaged goods industries. Its extremely low-profile design, high degree of protection (IP65), and safety functions make it unique in its class.

The SINAMICS G120D helps solve complex motion and positioning challenges and supports efficient, sustainable operations.

With its intelligent modular design with IP65 degree of protection, SINAMICS G120D can be seamlessly integrated into the plant or system and supports high plant availability and low stocks of spare parts.

Recover braking energy to eliminate resistors. Reduce power infeed with lower harmonics and an improved power factor. Optimize motor operation and reduce losses by using eco mode. Manage energy effectively with PROFIenergy data.

Mount easily with plug connectors and just four screws. Standardized drilling simplifies design, installation and retrofitting. Use connection macros for fast drive modification and fault resolution via SD card, without a PC.

200% for 3 s plus 150% for 57 s in a duty cycle of 300 s

Flying restart, automatic restart, technology controller, BICO technology, free function blocks, motor and machine encoder evaluation, integrated positioning functionality

Safe Torque Off, Safe Stop 1, Safe Brake Control, Safely-Limited Speed, Safe Speed Monitor, Safe Direction

-10° C … +40° C (+55° C with derating, limit value is dependent on the CU being used)

The distributed frequency converter consists of a control unit (CU) and power module (PM) comprising multiple function units. The CU controls and monitors the PM and connected motor using several closed-loop control types.

Implement functions (Safe Torque Off, Safe Stop 1 and Safely Limited Speed) without external components for faster approvals and cost savings, controlled via terminals or PROFINET (PROFIsafe).

It’s a specialist distributed drive for both horizontal AND vertical motion , including positioning tasks . It’s designed for demanding applications like conveyor systems, electric monorails, and even features advanced energy recovery.

It’s highly energy-efficient! It features regenerative feedback , meaning it recovers braking energy and feeds it back into the line, eliminating the need for braking resistors. It also has an “eco mode” to optimize motor operation and supports PROFIenergy for smart energy management.

Absolutely! It boasts a high IP65 degree of protection against dust and water, and operates reliably from -10°C to +55°C . For safety, it has an extensive suite of Safety Integrated functions (like STO, SS1, SLS, SDI, SBC) built-in, simplifying safety concepts without extra hardware.

It’s designed for intuitive installation with plug connectors and just four screws. It’s fully integrated into the TIA environment for easy configuration and commissioning. Its modular design helps ensure high plant availability, and an SD memory card allows for quick drive replacement without a PC.
