What is 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4 and where is it used?
The SIEMENS 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4 is a SINAMICS S120 Double Motor Module in Booksize format. According to Siemens and EICHLER, the module operates with a 600 V DC DC-link voltage and provides 3AC 400 V at 3 A/3 A. As a Double Motor Module, it is designed for two motor connections within an S120 multi-axis drive system.
This makes the module particularly suitable for compact machines and systems where several axes must be integrated into the control cabinet in a space-saving manner. The Booksize design specifically supports this concept through its narrow installation width, system-specific interfaces and close integration into the SINAMICS S120 architecture via DRIVE-CLiQ.
Overview of the key technical data and what they mean
The most important characteristics are a 600 V DC input, 3AC 400 V output, 2 × 3 A rated current, internal air cooling and the Booksize design.
Siemens also describes the module as featuring optimised pulse patterns, support for Extended Safety Integrated functions, and standard equipment including:
- 2 DC-link connections
- 2 connections for the 24 V electronics supply
- 4 DRIVE-CLiQ ports
- 2 motor connections
- 2 Safe Torque Off inputs
- 2 brake control outputs
- 2 temperature sensor inputs
For maintenance personnel, this means the module is designed for two axes within a compact multi-axis drive system.
For procurement, the physical characteristics are also important. Market data indicates dimensions of approximately 380 × 50 × 270 mm, while the EICHLER product page lists a net weight of 5.3 kg.
Product status, life-cycle status and obsolescence
For purchasing and spare-parts management, the life-cycle status is particularly important.
EICHLER lists the article with EOP (End of Production): 2018-10-01.
Siemens subsequently published a product discontinuation notice for affected SINAMICS S120 Booksize Motor Modules, stating that these modules have been unavailable since March 2020, including as spare parts. The affected product group includes 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4.
At the same time, Siemens offers the 6SL3120-2TE13-0AD0 as an active 3 A/3 A Double Motor Module in the Booksize D-Type generation. Siemens describes the newer Booksize C-Type and D-Type modules as a compatible further development of the previous generation.
In practice, a replacement is therefore generally feasible, but compatibility should always be verified with regard to the drive topology, wiring, firmware version and safety integration.
Available EICHLER services and when they are relevant
For this module, EICHLER offers several service options designed to support long-term availability:
- Repair
- Exchange
- Used units
- New units
For obsolete SINAMICS S120 power modules, component-level repair is often the preferred solution when the existing machine must continue operating without modification and downtime needs to be minimised.
EICHLER describes component-level repairs as an economical method of extending the service life of active assemblies, including:
- Fault analysis
- Cost estimation
- Functional testing in the test centre
- Express repair services in the event of machine downtime
For purchasing and management, it is also important that warranties of up to 36 months may be available for both repairs and sales.
Where recurring availability risks exist, Life Cycle Management can help secure supply and spare-part stocking strategies in a structured and sustainable manner.
| Fault description | Possible solution |
|---|---|
| Why does my 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4 report F30001 overcurrent at start-up? | F30001 means that the power unit has detected an overcurrent. First check the motor cable, phase-to-phase short circuit, motor data, encoder assignment and blocked mechanics. If the fault occurs when switching on a motor that is still rotating, the flying restart and fast flying restart parameters should be checked and adjusted in critical situations. If the fault persists, insulation faults, incorrect parameterisation or a defect in the power unit should be systematically isolated. |
| Why does my SINAMICS S120 with 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4 display F30021 earth fault? | F30021 is triggered when the summation current monitoring of the power unit detects an impermissible leakage current or earth fault. First check the motor and motor cable for insulation faults, inspect the shield connections and connectors, and isolate the fault by disconnecting the load. Then evaluate the summation current diagnostically and only afterwards check threshold p0287. This threshold must not be used to mask a genuine insulation fault. |
| Why does F30027 DC-link precharging occur on the Motor Module? | This fault means that the DC link of the power unit could not be precharged within the expected time. Check the applied mains voltage, the line contactor or mains switch, the mains voltage parameterisation in p0210, and the condition of the precharging circuit. If the DC-link voltage hardly rises at all, the cause is usually located in the supply path, the precharging circuit or the power unit itself. |
| Why does F31885 DRIVE-CLiQ cyclic data transfer disturbed appear? | F31885 indicates a disturbance in the cyclic DRIVE-CLiQ communication. Check the complete topology, the secure seating of the DRIVE-CLiQ cables, the correct assignment of participants, the 24 V electronics supply, and the compatibility of the Sensor Module and firmware. In many cases, the root cause is an incorrect topology, an unstable connection or an incompatible component combination. |
| Why does F30005 Power Unit overload I²t trip? | F30005 indicates that the thermal I²t load of the power unit has reached the shutdown threshold. Therefore, check the load profile, output current, switching frequency, cooling and any mechanical stiffness of the axis. Siemens lists measures such as reducing the output current, output frequency or pulse frequency. If the fault reappears immediately without load, the power unit itself must be investigated in detail. |
Is 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4 discontinued?
Yes. The EICHLER product page lists the module with EOP: 2018-10-01. Siemens additionally states that the affected Booksize Motor Module series has been unavailable since March 2020, including as a spare part. For operators, this means that supply is typically no longer handled through the regular manufacturer sales channel for the original unit, but rather through repair, exchange, refurbished units, or a technically suitable newer variant within the SINAMICS S120 family.
Is there a compatible Siemens successor for 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4?
The active Siemens variant in the same 3 A / 3 A performance class is 6SL3120-2TE13-0AD0. The core electrical specifications remain DC 600 V, 3AC 400 V, and 3 A / 3 A, although this is a Booksize D-Type module. Siemens describes the newer Booksize C-/D-Type modules as a compatible further development. In practice, this is a very important indication, but it does not replace a technical approval process. Before replacement, the topology, installation space, wiring, firmware version, Safety functions, and motor/encoder interfaces should be checked carefully.
Can 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4 be repaired, or should I purchase an exchange unit?
Both options can be appropriate. If the existing axis configuration and cabinet structure are to remain unchanged, component-level repair is often the most economical solution and minimises migration effort. If every hour of downtime is critical, an exchange unit is usually the faster way to restore machine operation. EICHLER offers exactly these options for this article: repair, exchange, refurbished, and new on request. In addition, EICHLER provides failure analysis, test centre services, express repair, and up to 36 months warranty/guarantee on repairs and sales.
Which technical data should I verify before submitting an enquiry or placing an order?
The most important items are the exact part number 6SL3120-2TE13-0AA4, the Double Motor Module designation, DC 600 V input, 3AC 400 V output, 3 A / 3 A, the Booksize design, and internal air cooling. You should also verify whether the existing system uses the same motor connections, DRIVE-CLiQ interfaces, Safe Stop/brake functions, and available installation space. Particularly in older systems, this comparison saves time for both purchasing and maintenance by avoiding incorrect orders and unnecessary modifications.
Which connections and interfaces are particularly important on this Double Motor Module?
In operation, the most important interfaces are the 2 DC-link connections, 2 connections for the 24 V electronics supply, 4 DRIVE-CLiQ ports, and 2 motor connections. In addition, the module provides 2 Safe Torque Off inputs, 2 brake control outputs, and 2 temperature sensor inputs. These interfaces are critical for diagnostics, topology management and interchangeability. Therefore, if a fault such as a DRIVE-CLiQ communication issue occurs, not only the module itself but also the wiring and participant structure of the entire SINAMICS S120 drive system should be checked.
How can the supply of an existing S120 system be secured despite obsolescence?
A sensible strategy combines repair capability, an exchange strategy, and strategic spare-parts stocking. EICHLER explicitly positions component-level repairs as a means of extending product life cycles and also offers sales, exchange services and Life Cycle Management. This is particularly relevant for operators of critical systems where the original Siemens part is no longer available. In such cases, the challenge is not only the next failure but ensuring a reliable supply strategy throughout the remaining service life of the machine. Well-planned spare-parts strategies, tested exchange units and documented repair paths are key elements of this approach.
