2.1 System overview
Because SINAMICS S120 can be used to solve sophisticated drive tasks for a very wide
spectrum of industrial applications, it is constructed as a modular system. From the large
number of matched components and functions, users combine just those units that best
match their requirements.

2.2 Control unit
In a CU320 Control Unit, the communications, open- and closed-loop functions execute for
one or more Motor Modules and Active Line Modules. The Control Unit is designed for
multi-axis operation.
Note
Only the CU 320(-2 DP) and CU 310 Control Units are supported when using the
SINAMICS S120 drive system in connection with the technology CPU.
