Kollmorgen S7120P-NA

Product Introduction
The S7120P-NA is a digital servo amplifier in the Kollmorgen SERVOSTAR S700 family, belonging to the S7120P size class. The “NA” suffix indicates the standard North American configuration with CANopen and EtherCAT onboard, single-channel STO, and 208–480 V mains voltage. The “P” designation indicates a premium configuration with enhanced features. This model provides higher power capability than the standard S712 class for very heavy-duty servo applications.

Working Principle
The S7120P-NA receives three-phase AC power from the mains, rectifies it to a DC bus voltage, and drives the connected servo motor through its IGBT power stage using high-frequency PWM. The drive uses closed-loop feedback control for precise torque, speed, and position regulation. The onboard CANopen and EtherCAT interfaces enable real-time communication with the host controller. The drive also supports common DC bus link connections to distribute regenerative power between amplifiers.

Installation Requirements

  • Mount inside a closed switchgear cabinet free from conductive or corrosive materials
  • Use non-painted (conductive) mounting plates for proper EMC grounding
  • Ensure adequate clearance above and below the amplifier for unimpeded ventilation
  • Keep the ambient temperature within the permitted range (0°C to 40°C, up to 45°C with derating)
  • Connect power supply with appropriate fusing
  • Use 60°C or 75°C copper wire only; use Class 1 wire only
  • Use shielded cables for motor and feedback connections
  • Do not mount devices producing strong magnetic fields directly beside the amplifier
