Siemens 6SL3210-1PE16-1AL1 SINAMICS PM240-2 Power Module
A 400 V-class PM240-2 power module for modular SINAMICS G120 systems, rated for 2.2 kW low-overload duty.
Product Profile
6SL3210-1PE16-1AL1 is a SINAMICS PM240-2 power module, not a complete standalone G120C converter. It supplies the motor power stage for a modular G120 drive and requires a compatible Control Unit for regulation, communication and application functions.
This FSA article combines an integrated Class A filter with an integrated braking chopper. Its modular identity must be preserved when comparing it with compact converters that share the 6SL3210 prefix.

System Role
- Converts the three-phase line supply into the controlled motor output commanded by the installed SINAMICS Control Unit.
- Provides the power hardware for a modular G120 drive architecture in which communication and control features are selected separately.
- Offers the braking-chopper connection needed for an engineered external braking-resistor circuit.
- Reduces conducted-emission planning effort through its integral Class A filter when installation rules are followed.
- Fits the compact FSA mechanical class for space-conscious control cabinets.
Compatibility
- Pair with a Siemens Control Unit released for the PM240-2 platform and the required firmware level.
- Select an operator panel, memory option and communication interface through the compatible Control Unit rather than the power module.
- Size protective devices, line reactor requirements, motor cable and braking resistor from the exact article data.
- Observe the different ambient limits associated with low-overload and high-overload operation.
- Do not replace it with a G120C solely because both are variable-speed-drive products.
Applications
- Modular pumps, fans, conveyors and machine drives requiring a separately selected Control Unit.
- Compact cabinets where an integrated EMC filter is specified.
- Decelerating loads that need a compatible external braking resistor.
- Maintenance of existing SINAMICS G120 systems built around the PM240-2 FSA platform.
FAQ
Is 6SL3210-1PE16-1AL1 a complete operational drive by itself?
No. It is a power module and requires a compatible Control Unit.
Where are network protocols selected?
Communication is provided by the chosen Control Unit, not by this power-module article alone.
Does the module include a braking resistor?
No. It includes the braking chopper; the resistor is selected and installed separately.
Why are two power ratings shown?
They correspond to different published overload-duty profiles and operating conditions.
What distinguishes this unit from a G120C?
PM240-2 belongs to a modular G120 architecture, whereas G120C integrates power and control functions in one compact converter.
What should be copied from the existing installation?
Record the power-module code, Control Unit, firmware, motor data, braking components and parameter backup.
