01Product Identification
Siemens 6SL3120-1TE22-4AD0 is the 24 A D-type SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module. Its rated and base-load currents match the corresponding C-type article, but its peak-current value rises to 72 A, giving the documented threefold-overload profile. The module is 50 mm wide, uses internal air cooling and supports optimized pulse patterns plus extended Safety Integrated functions. This exact article is selected for demanding acceleration or short-duration torque requirements that exceed the 48 A C-type limit.

- Provides the documented 12.9 kW type rating at rated current.
- Uses optimized pulse patterns for the supported drive-control operation.
- Supports extended Safety Integrated functions in a validated S120 architecture.
- Includes a DRIVE-CLiQ cable and internal fan cooling for booksize integration.

04Applications
Typical Engineering Use
- Fast-cycling axes that need up to 72 A peak current for acceleration.
- Servo mechanisms with short-duration torque demand beyond the C-type limit.
- Machine-tool, packaging and handling axes using a modular S120 DC link.
- Cabinet positions requiring a 50 mm D-type motor module.
- New installations or replacements where the exact 24 A threefold-overload profile is documented.
Compatibility Boundary
- Verify that the load profile needs the 72 A D-type capability rather than the 48 A C-type version.
- Confirm motor thermal data and converter peak-current duration in the drive engineering.
- Observe the data-sheet motor-cable limits and X1 conductor range.
- Check shared DC-link and 24 V bus current when several modules are mounted together.
- Confirm Control Unit firmware, DRIVE-CLiQ topology, encoder and Safety Integrated configuration.
- Maintain required airflow, cabinet clearances, grounding and shield connections.
05Lifecycle
- Siemens lists 6SL3120-1TE22-4AD0 as an active product.
- It is the D-type, threefold-overload variant of the 24 A booksize module.
- The C-type 6SL3120-1TE22-4AC0 is not an equivalent where the axis uses more than 48 A peak.
- Record the overload selection, cable length and safety acceptance data with the spare-part file.
- Following exchange, test maximum acceleration, repeated duty, current limitation, thermal response and machine safety.
