Siemens 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0 SINAMICS G120 PM240-2 Power Module
An unfiltered FSD power module with an integrated braking chopper for modular G120 drive systems.
Product Identification
6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0 is a SINAMICS G120 PM240-2 power module. It supplies the motor power stage while a separately selected Control Unit provides automation interfaces, regulation and parameter storage.
The built-in braking chopper supports a compatible external braking resistor when the application must dissipate regenerative energy.

Functions
- Converts the line supply into controlled motor power under the command of the fitted SINAMICS Control Unit.
- Provides the power-stage interface needed for modular G120 communication and control variants.
- Supports dynamic braking through the integrated chopper and an engineered external resistor.
- Reports operating and fault status through the attached Control Unit.
Applications
- Variable-speed drives for conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors and production machinery within the module rating.
- Modular drive cabinets where the communication function is selected through a separate G120 Control Unit.
- Machines requiring planned braking-energy dissipation rather than continuous regeneration to the supply.
Lifecycle
- Keep the power-module article, Control Unit, firmware and motor dataset together in the machine record.
- Retain line reactor, filter, braking resistor and overcurrent-protection selections with the panel documentation.
- After replacement, repeat electrical checks and the drive commissioning sequence before production restart.
FAQ
Does 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0 include a Control Unit?
No. Select and verify the separate G120 Control Unit, operator interface and communication option for the application.
Can 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0 use any braking resistor?
No. Resistance, pulse energy, duty cycle, wiring and thermal protection must meet the applicable Siemens selection data.
What distinguishes 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0 from the AL0 version?
The complete suffix identifies the ordered filter and market variant; do not assume suffixes are interchangeable without an article comparison.
Which cabinet checks matter before ordering 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0?
Confirm space, airflow, ambient temperature, protective device, cable routing and access to the braking hardware.
What configuration is stored outside 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0?
The attached Control Unit carries the drive-control and communication context, so preserve its project and parameter backup.
What must be tested after changing 6SL3210-1PE24-5UL0?
Check insulation and grounding, precharge, fan operation, motor current, braking behavior, faults and the complete machine stop sequence.
