What is 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA3 and where is it used?
6SL3120-1TE23-0AA3 is a SIEMENS SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module for the modular SINAMICS S120 drive system. The module operates on a 600 V DC link and provides a 3 AC 400 V output at 30 A. It belongs to the Booksize product family with internal air cooling and is designed for precise, high-performance motion-control applications in industrial machinery and plant engineering. For operators, the module is particularly relevant when an existing S120 axis must remain operational, a defective power unit needs to be replaced, or machine downtime must be eliminated without redesigning the entire drive topology.
Overview of the key technical data and what it means
The module's key specifications are a rated current of 30 A, approximately 16 kW output power, a width of 100 mm, internal air cooling and DRIVE-CLiQ integration. In practice, this means the module fits into compact S120 Booksize control cabinets but requires proper airflow management and effective cabinet cooling. Support for Extended Safety Integrated functions is important where safety-related drive functions are part of the machine concept. The net weight of 6.5 kg is useful for logistics, spare-parts storage and planning a rapid replacement during service operations. For purchasing and maintenance departments, these specifications are essential for avoiding ordering errors and compatibility issues.
Product status, life-cycle status and obsolescence
The original 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA3 module is no longer part of the active product life cycle. The EICHLER product page lists the status as EOP: 2014-09-23. Siemens also published a phase-out declaration for the SINAMICS S120 Booksize Motor Modules (3 A to 30 A) with internal heat dissipation, with the phase-out becoming effective on 1 October 2016. As a documented article-number change, Siemens identifies 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA4 as the successor to the 30 A module. For current projects, Siemens also offers the active 30 A module 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0, which carries the status PM300: Active Product. This information is particularly important for spare-parts strategies, obsolescence management and the long-term support of existing installations.
Available EICHLER services and when they are relevant
For 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA3, EICHLER offers repair, exchange, used units and new units on request. Repair is listed with a turnaround time of 7–10 days. EICHLER generally describes its repair service as including technical cleaning, preventive maintenance, comprehensive functional testing and a minimum 24-month warranty. For maintenance departments, repair is particularly attractive when the existing module is to remain in service within the current machine environment. For purchasing departments, exchange is often the preferred option when a machine must be returned to operation as quickly as possible. Used and new units are attractive when availability and time pressure are more important than repairing the existing module. EICHLER also states that exchange and replacement units are cleaned, refurbished, function-tested and supplied with a minimum 24-month warranty.
| Fault description | Possible solution |
|---|---|
| Why does my SINAMICS S120 report F30005 Power Unit overload I²t? | Siemens describes F30005 as an overload of the power section; the permissible current has been exceeded for too long or the load indicator has reached its limit value. Therefore, first check for mechanical overload, stiff-running axes, acceleration or deceleration ramps that are too short, and whether the 30 A module is suitable for the actual load. If the fault remains active after acknowledgement or also occurs under reduced load conditions, the module's output stage should be specifically tested. |
| Why does F30025 Power Unit chip overtemperature appear? | F30025 indicates that the chip temperature of the power electronics has exceeded the permissible limit. Check the cooling fan, airflow, contaminated cooling paths, control cabinet temperature, and the continuous thermal load of the drive. If the fault repeatedly occurs under normal operating load, this points to either a thermal issue within the module or a defect in the power electronics, which should be investigated through electrical testing. |
| Why does the drive report 231897 DRIVE-CLiQ: No communication to component? | This message indicates a loss of communication with a DRIVE-CLiQ participant. Check the connectors, cables, recent component replacements, participant sequence, and whether the stored target topology still matches the actual wiring configuration. SINAMICS automatically detects the current topology during startup and compares it with the configured target topology; therefore, after component replacement or rewiring, the configuration must be correctly detected and verified. |
| Why do I receive F07935 Holding Brake configuration faulty? | Siemens describes F07935 as a fault that occurs when the assignment of the motor holding brake or the Safe Brake Adapter (SBA) is not clearly defined. Check the brake wiring, the SBA assignment, and the parameterisation of the associated power unit. Particular attention should be paid to the correct assignment of the power unit component number to which the brake function is connected. |
| Why does A07910 appear first and later F07011 Motor temperature too high? | A07910 is generated when the motor temperature warning threshold is exceeded or when a PTC sensor responds. After the configured delay time, this warning can escalate into F07011. Check the motor load, ambient temperature, PTC or KTY sensor system, sensor wiring, and the temperature monitoring parameters. If an additional sensor fault is present, the sensor circuit should also be checked for wire breakage or short circuits. |
Is 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA3 already discontinued?
Yes. For this specific module, EICHLER lists EOP: 2014-09-23. In addition, Siemens published a phase-out declaration for the SINAMICS S120 Booksize Motor Modules (3 A to 30 A) with internal heat dissipation, with the phase-out becoming effective on 1 October 2016. For operators, this means the module remains relevant for existing installations but should be actively included in spare-parts and obsolescence management strategies.
Is there a documented successor or follow-on article number for 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA3?
Siemens documents an article number change for the 30 A module to 6SL3120-1TE23-0AA4. In addition, Siemens currently offers the active 30 A module 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 within the same performance class. This is important for procurement because it provides both a historical follow-on reference and a currently active product line. However, before installing a replacement in an existing machine, the topology, design variant, and project-specific data should always be verified against the existing installation.
When is repair more appropriate than replacement?
Repair is particularly advantageous when the existing module is to remain in service within the current machine concept and changes to wiring, parameter settings, or documentation should be kept to a minimum. Replacement is generally preferable when production downtime must be eliminated immediately. EICHLER states that repairs include technical cleaning, preventive maintenance, functional testing, and a minimum 24-month warranty. For replacement and exchange units, EICHLER likewise specifies cleaned, refurbished, and fully tested quality.
What should be backed up before replacing a SINAMICS S120 Motor Module?
Before replacement, the topology, parameterisation, and exact component assignment should be secured. Siemens explains that SINAMICS automatically detects the actual DRIVE-CLiQ topology during startup and compares it with the stored target topology. Depending on the settings, the system may also compare the component type, article number, manufacturer information, and even serial numbers. Replacing a module without properly considering this information significantly increases the risk of communication and topology-related faults.
Which key technical data should purchasing always verify before procurement?
At a minimum, purchasing should verify the article number, 600 V DC input, 3 AC 400 V output, 30 A rating, Booksize design, internal air cooling, DRIVE-CLiQ connectivity, and the classification as a SINAMICS S120 Single Motor Module. In addition, weight, life-cycle status, and the specific design variant should be reviewed when evaluating alternatives. With S120 components, successful replacement depends not only on the performance rating but also on matching the topology, cooling concept, and system environment.
Is a direct 1:1 replacement with 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 automatically possible?
Not automatically. Although Siemens offers 6SL3120-1TE23-0AC0 as an active 30 A module within the same product family, SINAMICS compares the actual and stored DRIVE-CLiQ topology during startup and, depending on the configuration, also checks the information stored in the electronic rating plates. In practice, this means that while a modern 30 A variant may appear suitable from a procurement perspective, its use in an existing machine should always be evaluated against the specific machine configuration before implementation.
