Drive ratings and what they mean for your load
The Siemens 6SL3210-1KE17-5UB0 is a SINAMICS G120C drive rated for 3.0 kW output power with a 150% overload capability sustained for 3 seconds. That overload headroom matters for starting high-inertia loads like centrifuges or conveyors under full belt tension — the drive delivers the torque transient without tripping on overcurrent, then settles to the continuous 3.0 kW rating. Input supply is 380-480 VAC three-phase, 47-63 Hz, unfiltered, so it accepts standard European and North American industrial mains within that band. The IP20 / UL Open Type enclosure means it mounts inside a panel or cabinet; no washdown rating, so keep it dry.
I/O, safety, and fieldbus — what's integrated
The I/O interface includes 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output — enough for basic speed reference, run/stop, and fault feedback without an expansion module. Safe Torque Off (STO) is integrated per the description, so you can wire a safety relay or PLC safety output directly to the drive for a Category 3 / PL d stop function without a separate safety module. Fieldbus is USS/MODBUS RTU onboard; no PROFINET or EtherNet/IP card here, so verify your controller's protocol before specifying.
