Siemens 6SL3120-1TE23-0AD0 SINAMICS S120 30 A D-Type Motor Module
Active 30 A D-type inverter module with 90 A peak output for high-dynamic S120 axes.
01Overview
Siemens 6SL3120-1TE23-0AD0 is the 30 A booksize D-type Single Motor Module for SINAMICS S120. It converts the common DC link into a controlled three-phase motor output and provides a threefold 90 A peak-current value. The module combines internal air cooling, optimized pulse patterns, extended Safety Integrated support and DRIVE-CLiQ communication in a 100 mm-wide housing. It is the higher-overload counterpart to the 30 A C-type article, so selection must follow the axis duty profile rather than the continuous-current value alone.

03Features
Product Functions
- Supplies one motor axis from the modular S120 DC link.
- Provides 90 A peak current, three times the 30 A rated value.
- Supports 40 A S6 current for the documented 40 percent duty.
- Uses optimized pulse patterns at a 4 kHz rated pulse frequency.
- Supports extended Safety Integrated functions in a validated drive architecture.
- Includes DRIVE-CLiQ connectivity for component recognition and control.
Identification
- Manufacturer: Siemens
- Model: 6SL3120-1TE23-0AD0
- Product Type: SINAMICS S120 booksize D-type Single Motor Module
- Status: Active product
04Applications
- Dynamic axes whose acceleration or short-duration torque demand requires up to 90 A.
- Modular drive groups using a shared 510 to 720 V DC link.
- Machine axes with long motor cables within the specified 100 m shielded limit.
- Modernization of older 30 A booksize positions after connector and firmware checks.
- Cabinet installations designed for a 100 mm IP20 motor module and forced-air cooling.
05Lifecycle
- Siemens lists this exact D-type article as an active product.
- It is the current 30 A threefold-overload option in the booksize C/D range.
- The C-type 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 is not equivalent where more than 56 A peak current is required.
- Older AA-series cable connections may require the official adapter-cable solution.
- After exchange, validate current limits, motor data, feedback, braking and all Safety Integrated functions.
06FAQ
What distinguishes 6SL3120-1TE23-0AD0 from the 30 A C-type article?
The D-type module provides 90 A peak current, while the C-type 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 is documented at 56 A.
Which continuous and intermittent currents apply to this D-type module?
The official data sheet lists 30.0 A rated current, 25.5 A base-load current and 40.0 A S6 current at 40 percent duty.
How long may the motor cable be?
Siemens specifies up to 100 m shielded or 150 m unshielded.
What cabinet space is required for the 0AD0 module?
The module is 100 mm wide, 380 mm high and 270 mm deep, with IP20 / UL open-type protection.
Which safety performance is documented?
Safety Integrated capability is listed to SIL 2, PL d and Category 3 when engineered within the supported system.
