With the second generation SINAMICS G120, Siemens presents a modular inverter with higher power density and a space-saving frame size.The redesigned inverter series is now available in three voltage variants for connection to 200 V, 400 V and 690 V power supply networks.
Its modular design and wide range of power ratings extending from 0.55 kW up to 250 kW always ensures that you can configure the optimum inverter for your particular application. What is also clear: With the SINAMICS G120, you benefit from the wide range of possibilities that its modular design offers – including remaining flexible, saving costs thanks to the reduced spare part stocking, for example. And all of this is complemented by the high degree of user-friendliness – from installation through to maintenance. SINAMICS G120 is part of the comprehensive family of SINAMICS drives.
Consists of two power modules
Controlling of the motor according to the various control procedures is executed via the control unit. Apart from the control unit, further functions are available which can be adjusted by parameterization to the corresponding application. In the case of SINAMICS G120, several control units are available in various designs.
In addition the G120 can also be combined with a number of supplementary system components.

The hardware ID may be incorrect on the LADDR input. The required ID is the one used by the telegram - not the ID of the drive. For Startdrive, this can be found in the device view by going to Properties > General > Telegram configuration > [device name] > Start address. For drives not configured with Startdive, this can be found in the device view byhighlighting the row of the telemgra in Device overview, then navigate to Properties > General > Hardware identifier.
Go to “Drive” > ”Diagnostics” > ”Alarms history”
OFF enables are the three main enables that exist in the drive. By individually removing them they are differentiated in the following way:
In the drive expert list set the following parameters in the order prescribed:
1. p10 = [3]
2. p1821 = CW or CCW
3. p10 = [0]
Setting p1821 to CW (Clockwise) or CCW (Counter Clockwise) will change the positive direction of rotation. Positive direction is considered when looking at the motor shaft.
