🔌 What Are SINAMICS S120 Line Modules 🔌

SINAMICS S120 Line Modules are the grid connection modules of the S120 system.
Unlike Motor Modules (which directly control the motors), Line Modules:

• supply the common DC link

• manage grid energy

• enable energy regeneration back to the grid or its dissipation

• stabilize the system under highly dynamic conditions

They are therefore essential for systems with:

• multiple axes

• rapid acceleration/braking cycles

• energy recovery

• variable and continuous loads
