Drive selection memo
The Siemens 6SL3210-1KE21-7UB0 is a SINAMICS G120C variable-frequency drive rated for 7.5 kW output on a 380–480 V 3AC supply, with a 150% overload capability for 3 seconds. That overload headroom means it can handle short-duration peak loads — a conveyor start or a pump breakaway torque — without tripping or needing a larger frame. The drive integrates Safe Torque Off (STO) as standard, eliminating the need for a separate safety relay in many guarding circuits.
I/O and fieldbus
The I/O complement is 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output — enough for basic speed control, run/stop, and fault feedback without an expansion module. Fieldbus is USS/MODBUS RTU onboard; for PROFINET or EtherNet/IP you would add a communication board in the slot. The IP20 / UL Open Type enclosure means it mounts inside a panel, not on the machine frame — plan for a clean, filtered air environment.
