Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Siemens 6SL3120-2TE21-8AC0?
It is a Double Motor Module for the SINAMICS S120 drive system in Booksize C-type format. It controls two independent motors (2 × 18 A) from a common DC link, with Extended Safety Integrated functions and internal air cooling .
Q2: What is the difference between C-type and D-type?
The C-type (this item) supports double (2×) overload capability. The D-type (6SL3120-2TE21-8AD0) supports triple (3×) overload capability for more demanding applications .
Q3: What is the rated current of this module?
The rated output current (IN) is 2 × 18 A, with a base load current (IH) of 2 × 15.3 A and peak current (S6, 40%) of 2 × 36 A .
Q4: What is the type power rating?
2 × 9.7 kW based on IN at DC 600 V and 4 kHz pulse frequency .
Q5: Does this module support safety functions?
Yes. It supports Extended Safety Integrated functions up to SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and PL d / Category 3 (EN ISO 13849-1) .
Q6: What cooling method does it use?
Internal air cooling with an integrated fan .
Q7: What are the dimensions and weight?
Dimensions are 100 × 380 × 270 mm (W × H × D). Net weight is approximately 7.7 kg .
Q8: Is this a genuine Siemens product?
Yes. The product lifecycle status is PM300: Active Product, and the country of origin is Germany .
Q9: What is the difference between this and the 6SL3120-2TE21-0AA4?
The 0AA4 variant has a lower current rating (2 × 9 A). This 8AC0 variant has 2 × 18 A output current .
Q10: What should I verify before ordering?
Always verify the exact part number (6SL3120-2TE21-8AC0 for C-type with double overload), confirm your motor current requirement (2 × 18 A), ensure your DC link voltage matches (510–720 V), check that your Line Module has sufficient power for peak current operation, and verify whether you need the D-type for triple overload applications .
