The Siemens 6SL3210-1KE13-2AC1 is a SINAMICS G120C drive rated for 1.1 kW with a 150% overload capability for 3 seconds, operating on 380-480 V three-phase AC at 47-63 Hz. It's a compact FSA frame size — 196 x 73 x 203 mm (HxWxD) — with IP20 / UL Open Type protection, meaning it's meant for enclosure mounting in a clean panel, not out on the plant floor. The drive includes an integrated Class A EMC filter, so you can skip the external filter in most industrial environments unless the line has strict Class B residential limits. On the I/O side: 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, 1 analog output — enough for basic speed control and feedback without an expansion module. Fieldbus is CANopen integrated, no option card needed. Safe Torque Off (STO) is built in, which simplifies safety circuit wiring — no separate safety relay for the drive enable in many applications.
For a BOM freeze or long-term project, the mature status is generally stable. If you're planning a multi-year run, it's worth checking whether Siemens has signaled a successor platform, but there's no urgency on the supply side right now.
Mounting is straightforward — the FSA frame bolts into a standard backplate or sub-panel. The 73 mm width leaves room for a line reactor or contactor alongside in a 600 mm wide enclosure. External 24 VDC control supply is required; the drive doesn't derive its logic power from the main DC bus. The IP20 rating means no washdown tolerance — keep it inside a cabinet rated to at least IP54 if the environment has dust or moisture. The integrated filter adds a few dB of conducted emissions suppression, but verify against your machine's EMC declaration if you're CE-marking a new build.
