03Functions
Operational Functions
- Integrated Class A filtering supports the defined EMC installation category.
- The built-in braking chopper permits connection of the correctly selected braking resistor.
- Separate high-overload and low-overload ratings support duty-based selection.
- The modular PM240-2 architecture is completed with an approved SINAMICS Control Unit.
- Internal diagnostics and control depend on the selected Control Unit and commissioned parameter set.
- The compact FSA frame supports cabinet installation with the prescribed airflow and clearances.
Product Identity
- Manufacturer: Siemens
- Model: 6SL3210-1PE12-3AL1
- Product Type: SINAMICS PM240-2 with Class A Filter
04System Integration
- Select an approved SINAMICS Control Unit with firmware V4.6 or later for the exact drive configuration.
- Confirm the Class A filter is suitable for the installation category and cable-length requirements.
- Match the motor, braking resistor, mains protection, line components, grounding, EMC layout and cabinet cooling.
- An operator panel is not included and must be selected separately if local operation is required.
- Do not compare only by 0.55 kW or 0.75 kW; overload duty, filter, frame, supply and Control Unit compatibility are equally important.
05Applications
Typical Uses
- Compact variable-speed drives requiring a filtered PM240-2.
- Pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers and machine axes within the documented overload class.
- Applications using an external braking resistor through the integrated braking chopper.
- Maintenance replacement in modular SINAMICS G120 configurations.
Selection Boundary
- Choose the correct overload rating for the actual duty cycle.
- Confirm Class A filter, braking resistor and cable requirements.
- Match the Control Unit, firmware, motor, frame and cabinet design.
06Lifecycle
- Confirm the current Siemens lifecycle and service status when ordering the exact article.
- Back up the Control Unit parameter set and record the Power Module identification before exchange.
- Document motor data, overload duty, switching frequency, braking resistor, line components, EMC arrangement and cooling.
- A different PM240-2 suffix can change filter, voltage, power, frame or regional approval and is not automatically interchangeable.
- After replacement, verify DC-link behavior, motor current, direction, braking, EMC, alarms, overload performance and temperature.
FAQFrequently Asked Questions
What is Siemens 6SL3210-1PE12-3AL1?
It is a SINAMICS PM240-2 Power Module with an integrated Class A filter and braking chopper.
What power ratings apply?
The module is rated 0.55 kW for high-overload duty and 0.75 kW for low-overload duty.
Is a Control Unit included?
No. Siemens specifies the Power Module without a Control Unit and without an operator panel.
Which firmware release is required?
