- Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing equipment
System Compatibility
The 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0 is designed to operate within the Siemens SINAMICS S120 booksize drive system. Confirmed compatible components include:
- Control Units: CU320-2 DP, CU320-2 PN, CU310-2 DP, CU310-2 PN
- Line Modules: 6SL3130-series Active/Smart/Basic Line Modules (booksize)
- Motors: Siemens 1FK7, 1FT7, 1PH8 series with DRIVE-CLiQ encoder interface
- Supplementary: Braking Module 6SL3100-1BE21-3AA0, Capacitor Module 6SL3100-1CE21-0AA0
- Software: STARTER V5.x, TIA Portal V14 and above with SINAMICS Startdrive
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0 is the right module for your application, or to identify the correct alternative:
- Motor rated current — must be ≤ 5 A continuous (10 A peak). For higher-current motors, select 6SL3120-1TE21-0AA3 (9 A) or above.
- Number of axes — this is a single motor module (one axis). For two axes on one module, use the Double Motor Module 6SL3120-2TE15-0AD0.
- Form factor — booksize only. For chassis or cabinet format, refer to SINAMICS S150 or S120 chassis variants.
- DC bus voltage — confirm your Line Module outputs 600 V DC bus; do not mix with 400 V DC bus systems.
- Firmware version — match the firmware version of your Control Unit. Konmask can advise on firmware compatibility.
- Cooling — internal fan cooling; ensure adequate airflow clearance (min. 50 mm top/bottom).

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace 6SL3120-1TE15-0AD0 with 6SL3120-1TE21-0AA3?
A: Yes, if your motor’s rated current is between 5 A and 9 A. The 1TE21 is a higher-current variant in the same booksize family and is mechanically and electrically compatible. No hardware changes to the DC bus or DRIVE-CLiQ wiring are needed.
Q: Is the 6SL3120-2TE15-0AD0 a drop-in replacement?
A: No. The 2TE variant is a Double Motor Module (two axes). It occupies more width on the booksize rail and requires two motor connections. It is not a direct drop-in for a single-axis slot.
Q: What happens if I use a module with a different firmware version?
A: The Control Unit may flag a firmware mismatch fault (F01006 or similar). A firmware update via STARTER or TIA Portal Startdrive is required. Konmask can advise on the correct firmware version for your system.
Q: Can this module drive a standard induction motor?
A: Yes, in V/f or vector control mode. However, SINAMICS S120 is optimized for servo motors with DRIVE-CLiQ encoders. For pure induction motor applications, SINAMICS G120 may be more cost-effective.
Q: Do you supply tested/refurbished units?
A: We supply new and surplus-new units. Refurbished units are available on request with full test report. Please contact us for details.
