Drive selection memo
The 6SL3210-1KE22-6UC0 is a SINAMICS G120C rated at 11.0 kW on 380–480 V 3AC, with a 150% overload capability for 3 seconds — enough to handle a loaded conveyor start or a pump breakaway torque without oversizing the frame. CANopen is integrated on the control board, so no separate communication module is needed for that fieldbus. Safe Torque Off is onboard, eliminating the need for an external safety relay in most stop-category 0 applications.
Integration constraints
IP20 / UL Open Type means the drive is intended for a clean, dry enclosure — typically a control cabinet with at least IP54 on the enclosure door. The FSC (Frame Size C) footprint is 295 x 140 x 203 mm (H x W x D); plan for 100 mm clearance above and below for airflow. The unfiltered variant assumes the line-side harmonics are managed either by an external line reactor or by the supply transformer's impedance — check the total harmonic distortion at the point of common coupling before committing.
I/O and fieldbus
The onboard I/O gives 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output — enough for a basic standalone application like a single-motor pump or fan with feedback. The CANopen interface is fixed; if the line uses PROFINET or EtherCAT, this variant is not the right pick — look at the PN or PN-F versions of the G120C instead.
