Meaning of the LEDs on the S120 Combi 
The SINAMICS S120 Combi has 2 LEDs to display the status. The LED statuses for the 
S120 Combi are described in the table below. The status display refers to the internal infeed, 
the spindle and the servo drives and the TTL encoder evaluation of the S120 Combi Power 
Module

Off  Off  The electronics power supply is missing or outside the per-
missible tolerance range. 
Connect/test the electronics 
power supply 
Green  Off  The component is ready for operation. Cyclic DRIVE-CLiQ 
communication is taking place. 
- 
Orange  The component is ready for operation. Cyclic DRIVE-CLiQ 
communication is taking place. 
The DC link voltage is present. 
- 
Red  The component is ready for operation. Cyclic DRIVE-CLiQ 
communication is taking place. 
The DC link voltage is too high. 
Check the line supply volt-
age. 
DRIVE-CLiQ communication is being established. 
Red  -  This component has at least one fault. 
: 
The LED is activated regardless of whether the correspond-
ing messages have been reconfigured.

Danger to life through electric shock due to applied DC link voltage 
Irrespective of the state of the LED "DC LINK", hazardous DC-link voltages can always be 
present. 
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
