What is Siemens SINAMICS S120 Booksize?

SINAMICS S120 Booksize is a modular drive system designed primarily for multi-axis motion control where several motor axes need to operate together within a compact control cabinet.

Unlike a conventional standalone VFD, the S120 architecture allows multiple drive components to share a common DC-link system. Booksize components are mounted next to each other, creating a compact and scalable drive arrangement for machine builders and OEM automation systems.

The platform supports speed, torque and positioning functions and uses DRIVE-CLiQ for digital communication between drive components and system devices.

Why Choose SINAMICS S120 Booksize?

Modular Multi-Axis Architecture

Build a drive system around the number of machine axes, required power and application requirements.

Compact Cabinet Installation

The Booksize construction allows drive components to be arranged side-by-side, helping optimize control-panel space.

Common DC-Link System

The integrated DC-link connection enables coordinated operation of multiple axes and efficient energy management within the drive system.

DRIVE-CLiQ Connectivity

Digital communication between compatible components simplifies system integration, diagnostics and commissioning.

Advanced Motion Functions

S120 supports coordinated speed, torque and positioning functions for demanding machine applications.

Safety Integrated

Depending on the selected configuration and licensing, Safety Integrated functions include STO, SS1, SBC and extended safety functions. Siemens documents SIL 2 / PL d capability for applicable functions.

SINAMICS S120 Booksize System Architecture

A typical S120 Booksize installation can be configured from multiple coordinated components:

• Control Unit – Central control and drive-system management

• Line Module – Supplies the common DC link

• Motor Modules – Controls individual servo or motor axes

• Sensor Modules – Provides additional encoder/feedback interfaces where required

• DRIVE-CLiQ Components – Enables high-speed digital system communication

• Braking / DC-Link Components – Selected according to application requirements

• SIMOTICS Motors – Compatible motor selection based on application and drive configuration

The exact architecture depends on the machine design, motor technology, supply arrangement and required motion functions.
