Maximize servo functionality while minimizing space & cabling requirements

SINAMICS S120M distributed servo drive
The modular SINAMICS S120 drive system has been expanded to include the distributed SINAMICS S120M version. This involves a compact ready-to-connect drive unit consisting of a synchronous servomotor with multiturn absolute encoder and integrated power unit (motor module). The SINAMICS S120M gives the option to move the power unit out of the control cabinet where it is directly integrated with the motor on the driven servo axis. This provides advantages and a high degree of flexibility regarding existing and new machine concepts. The innovative hybrid cable reduces cabling and connects back to the central SINAMICS S120 components utilizing the adapter module 600 (AM600).
