SINAMICS S120 Combi 
Manual, (GH9), 07/2016, 6SL3097-4AV00-0BP5 
 
The control supply module (CSM) is connected to the line supply (3-ph. 380 V AC –10 % to 
480 V AC +10 %) via interface X1 (screw terminals 0.2 to 4 mm
2
) This connection should 
preferably be made without using an isolating device (e.g. contactor). 
The CSM has an internal line filter (Class A for TN line supplies), and the pre-charging circuit 
for the DC link inside the unit is electrically isolated from the 24 V supply. 
The CSM also features a current limitation function. When using cables with a cross-section 
of 2.5 mm
2
, no additional protection is required on the 24 V side if a type XLPE or EPR 
cable, or a cable with a similar quality and with a minimum thermal stability of up to 90 °C is 
used. 
Note 
If a selectively tripping, AC/DC
-sensitive RCCB is used for the drive line-up, the Control 
Supply Module must always be c
onnected to the line supply downstream of this circuit 
 
Note 
Connecting to the line supply 
When configuring the line supply for the Control Supply Module, it should be noted that the 
CSM must not be connected to the line supply after the S120 C
ombi has been connected to 
the line supply. When charging, this prevents the DC link from being immediately loaded by 
the CSM.
 
The DIP switch must be set to "single operation" to connect the Control Supply Module to the 
S120 Combi drive line-up. The connection can be established as shown below. 
The CSM must be connected to the S120 Combi Power Module and the expansion axes via 
the DC link busbars as well as also via the 24 V busbars. The red 24 V connector from the 
accessories pack provided must be inserted under all circumstances.
