DC-fed 11 kW axis in the SINAMICS S220 rack
The 6SL5120-1UE22-4AD0 is a SINAMICS S220 Single Motor Module in booksize format — a DC-fed axis inverter that takes 495–720 V DC from a shared SINAMICS S220 line module and delivers 0–480 V 3AC at 24 A to a single servo motor, rated 11 kW. It is the motor-side output stage of the S220 multi-axis drive rack, paired with a separately-sourced line infeed rather than a stand-alone drive. D-type booksize with internal air cooling only — no cold-plate or external fan assembly — so the cabinet heat budget has to absorb the module dissipation from the heat-sink fins on the front of the unit. The module ships as a single piece with packaging footprint 365.00 x 565.00 x 60.00 mm, which is the booksize D height and dictates the row-to-row spacing inside the drive cabinet.
Firmware, compliance, and lifecycle status
Internal air cooling is supported from firmware V5.2 SP3 HF10 onward, so the controller version on the upstream S220 CU has to carry that level or higher for the module to commission cleanly. Mixed-firmware drive racks are a common commissioning hang-up on this generation — the module is hardware-current but its integration rests on the controller image. Export-control classification is AL:N / ECCN:3A999A, which matters for cross-border routing rather than for end-use.
Sourcing posture for the BOM line
Booked against the SINAMICS S220 rack BOM, this module is quoted to order through independent distribution — availability, pricing, and rack-position lead time are confirmed against a quotable line at RFQ rather than off-the-shelf stock. Single-piece quantity unit simplifies BOM line entry; packaging quantity of 1 matches the per-axis quantity an integrator orders.
