The Siemens 6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3 is a SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module in the booksize format. It takes a 600 V DC input and delivers 400 V three-phase AC at 3 A to a single motor. The module includes internal air cooling, optimized pulse patterns, and supports the extended Safety Integrated functions. A DRIVE-CLiQ cable is included for drive-to-controller communication.
The 3 A output at 400 V three-phase AC is the continuous motor current rating. That governs the motor size this module can drive — think a small spindle, a compact conveyor drum motor, or a servo axis on a packaging line. The 600 V DC input tells you it lives on the DC link of an S120 line module, not directly on the AC mains. The booksize form factor saves panel width compared to the chassis or blocksize variants, which matters in a multi-axis cabinet where every millimeter of DIN-rail space counts. Internal air cooling means it draws cabinet air through its own heatsink. Don't stack modules tight without checking the thermal clearance in the S120 cabinet design guide — the booksize line relies on vertical airflow, and a blocked intake derates the output faster than a spec table suggests. The extended Safety Integrated functions include STO and SS1 without an external safety relay.
