Motor module

Response:
Single motor module refers to the capability to provide current through itsone output terminal.
The motor module can only provide output to one motor (or a motor group of parallel connected motors).


Double motor module refers to a motor module which has two separate current outputterminals; therefore, the motor module can provide separate control for two individual motors (or two motor groups of parallel connected motors).


Further comparison of ratings example:

Single Motor Module
6SL3120-1TE13-0AA3
Rated Output Current 1 x 3 Amps
(i.e. Capable of supplying up to rated current of 3 amps through one output terminal connection)


Double Motor Module
6SL3120-2TE13-0AA3
Rated Output Current 2 x 3 Amps
(i.e. Capable of supplying up to rated current of 3 amps through each set of output terminal connections)


Finally, as an overall drive system it is important to view entire system needs to use motor modules.
The basic one line diagram of a drive system using motor modules consists of the following:
- Line Module (Transforms 3 phase AC Input Power to a common dc bus voltage)
- Motor Module (Input is dc bus voltage and output is PWM wave to provideoutput current to motor)
- Controller (Multi Axis controller to provide control of speed,current,and / or positionofseveral different motors via the motor modules)

I hope this helps clarify terms.
