Siemens 6SL3120-2TE15-0AD0 SINAMICS S120 5 A D-Type Double Motor Module
Active 5 A/5 A D-type power module provides 15 A peak current for each S120 motor channel.
Product Profile
Siemens 6SL3120-2TE15-0AD0 is the active 5 A D-type Double Motor Module for SINAMICS S120. It supplies two motor axes from a common 510 to 720 V DC link and provides 2 x 15 A maximum current, compared with 2 x 10 A on the first-generation AA0 article. The 50 mm module combines internal air cooling, optimized pulse patterns, extended Safety Integrated support and DRIVE-CLiQ. Its exact overload data and 4.7 kg weight must be retained as an AD0-specific record.

System Role
Power-Section Functions
- Supplies two 5 A motor axes from one D-type power section.
- Provides a threefold 2 x 15 A maximum-current value.
- Supports 2 x 6.7 A in the documented S6 40 percent duty.
- Uses separate X1 and X2 connectors for conductors from 1.5 to 6 mm².
- Supports extended Safety Integrated functions in the approved S120 architecture.
- Provides DRIVE-CLiQ-based recognition and diagnostic communication.
Exact Product Identity
- Manufacturer: Siemens
- Model: 6SL3120-2TE15-0AD0
- Product Type: SINAMICS S120 booksize D-type Double Motor Module
- Status: Active product
Compatibility
- Use the exact AD0 current set: 2 x 5 A rated, 2 x 4.3 A base and 2 x 15 A maximum.
- Do not copy the AA0 510 to 750 V range or 5.3 kg module weight.
- Confirm motor connector adaptation when moving from an AA-series module.
- Check the common DC-link load and 24 V busbar current across the complete drive group.
- Verify Control Unit firmware and the detected power-section article number.
- Perform channel-by-channel motor and Safety Integrated acceptance tests.
Applications
- Dynamic two-axis machinery requiring higher peak current than the AA0 generation.
- Compact S120 booksize groups with a 50 mm Double Motor Module position.
- Modernization of older 5 A modules after full connector and firmware validation.
- Servo axes using motor cables within the 50 m shielded limit.
- Drive cabinets engineered for 4.7 kg modules and internal air cooling.
