Overview (continued)
Modularity
SINAMICS G120 is a modular converter system comprising a
variety of functional units. The two main units are
• the Control Unit (CU) and
• the Power Module (PM)
The Control Unit
controls and monitors the Power Module and
the connected motor in several different modes. It supports
communication with a local or central controller and monitoring
devices.
The Power Module
supplies the motor in the power range
0.37 kW to 132 kW (0.5 hp to 200 hp). The Power Module is con-
trolled by a microprocessor in the Control Unit. It features state-
of-the-art IGBT technology with pulse-width-modulated motor
voltage. It also features a range of protective functions offering a
high degree of protection for the Power Module and motor.
Furthermore, a large number of additional components
is avail-
able, such as:
• Basic Operator Panel (BOP) for parameterizing, diagnosing,
controlling, and copying drive parameters
• Line filter, classes A and B
• Line reactors
• Braking resistors
• Output reactors
Safety Integrated
The SINAMICS G120 inverter chassis units are available in a
number of different variants for safety-oriented applications. All
Power Modules are already designed for Safety Integrated. A
Safety Integrated Drive can be created by combining a Power
Module with the relevant Fail-safe Control Unit.
The SINAMICS G120 fail-safe frequency inverter provides four
safety functions, certified in accordance with EN 954-1 Category
3 and IEC 61508 SIL 2:
• Safe Torque Off (STO) to protect against active movement of
the drive
• Safe Stop 1 (SS1) for continuous monitoring of a safe braking
ramp
• Safely Limited Speed (SLS) for protection against dangerous
movements on exceeding a speed limit
• Safe Brake Control (SBC) for driving motor brakes which are
active in the de-energized state, e.g. motor holding brakes
The functions “Safe Stop 1” and “Safely Limited Speed” can
both be implemented without a motor sensor or encoder; the im-
plementation cost is minimal. Existing plants in particular can be
updated with safety technology without the need to change the
motor or mechanical system.
The safety functions “Safely Limited Speed” and “Safe Stop 1”
are certified for asynchronous motors without encoders – these
safety functions are not permitted for pull-through loads as in the
case of lifting gear and winders.

in chapter Innovations.
Efficient Infeed Technology
The advanced Efficient Infeed Technology is employed in
PM250 and PM260 Power Modules. This technology allows the
energy produced by motors operating in generator mode on
standard inverters to be fed back into the supply system. The
control cabinet can be designed even more compactly thanks to
the omission of extra cooling equipment and components such
as braking resistors, brake choppers and line reactors. The time
and expense involved in planning and wiring the system are sig-
nificantly reduced. At the same time, considerable savings can
be achieved in terms of energy consumption and operating
costs.

Technology in chapter Innovations.
Innovative cooling concept and paint finish of electronic
modules
The new cooling system and the paint finish for the electronic
modules significantly increase the service life or useful life of the
device. These features are based on the following principles:
• Disposal of all heat losses via an external heat sink
• Electronic modules not located in air duct
• Standardized convection cooling of Control Unit
• All cooling air from the fan is directed through the heat sink
STARTER commissioning tool
The STARTER commissioning tool supports the commissioning
and maintenance of SINAMICS G120 inverters. The operator
guidance combined with comprehensive, user-friendly functions
for the relevant drive solution allows you to commission the
device quickly and easily.
