Siemens 6SL3210-1KE15-8UB2 SINAMICS G120C Converter
A compact three-phase converter with integrated control I/O, Safe Torque Off and an unfiltered 380–480 V power section.
Product Profile
6SL3210-1KE15-8UB2 is a SINAMICS G120C compact converter for variable-speed motor control. It combines the power stage, control functions, field I/O and serial communication in one frame-size AA device.
This exact UB2 variant is unfiltered, uses an external 24 V control supply and communicates through USS or Modbus RTU. It should not be confused with PROFINET, PROFIBUS or filtered G120C order variants.

System Role
- Controls induction-motor speed and torque using V/f or sensorless vector algorithms selected for the machine duty.
- Integrates basic field signals directly through the onboard digital, analog and temperature-monitoring interfaces.
- Provides Safe Torque Off as an embedded safety function for an appropriately engineered machine circuit.
- Connects to a serial automation network through the supported USS or Modbus RTU interface.
- Uses its internal fan to manage converter losses within the documented cabinet environment.
Compatibility
- Match the three-phase supply voltage, motor current and overload duty to the exact application before parameterization.
- Provide the required external 24 V control supply for this UB2 order variant.
- Do not specify this article when an integrated EMC filter or a different fieldbus interface is mandatory.
- Coordinate Safe Torque Off wiring with the machine risk assessment and the complete safety circuit.
- Check cabinet clearance, airflow, grounding and motor-cable requirements for the FSAA installation.
Applications
- Compact conveyors, pumps and fans requiring variable-speed control from a three-phase industrial supply.
- Standalone machines using Modbus RTU or USS for basic supervisory communication.
- OEM panels that can use onboard I/O without a separate drive-interface module.
- Motor installations that require integrated Safe Torque Off within the validated safety design.
FAQ
What power ratings apply to this exact converter?
It is rated 2.2 kW for low-overload duty and 1.5 kW for high-overload duty.
Which communication protocols are integrated?
The UB2 version supports USS and Modbus RTU.
Does this article include an EMC filter?
No. The official product configuration identifies it as unfiltered.
Is a separate control supply required?
Yes. This version uses an external 24 V DC control supply.
Which safety function is integrated?
Safe Torque Off is integrated, but its use still requires a complete engineered safety circuit.
What must be checked before replacing a similar G120C?
Verify the full order code, supply, overload duty, fieldbus, filter, external 24 V supply and frame dimensions.
