  • compatibility with PROFIBUS / PROFINET / industrial I/O

  • advanced diagnostics and fault management

  • integration with SIMATIC PLC and SINUMERIK

They are designed to ensure production continuity even under severe operating conditions.


🏭 Typical applications of SINAMICS G120 / G120C / G120X 🏭

This family is widely used in:

  • conveyors and material handling

  • industrial pumps and fans

  • process and treatment plants

  • automated machinery

  • production lines

  • industrial HVAC

  • heavy duty applications and dusty or humid environments


💡 Why the “extended power range” G120 are essential 💡

These variants make it possible to:

  • cover higher power ratings with the G120 architecture
