11 kW at 150% overload — what that means for motor sizing
The 6SL3210-1KE22-6UF1: Rated power is 11.0 kW with 150% overload capability for 3 seconds. That 150% peak (16.5 kW for three seconds) handles the breakaway torque on a loaded conveyor or pump start without oversizing the drive frame. Input is three-phase 380-480 V AC, +10/-20%, 47-63 Hz. The unfiltered input means you supply the line reactor or filter if the installation requires it for harmonic compliance.
I/O and fieldbus — what connects where
The I/O interface gives you 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output. That's enough for basic speed control, start/stop, and a fault relay without adding an expansion module. Integrated PROFINET-PN fieldbus means it plugs straight into a Siemens S7-1500 or S7-1200 controller with a standard RJ45 cable. No external communication module needed — the drive appears as a PROFIdrive device on the network. Safe Torque Off (STO) is built in. That eliminates the need for an external safety relay on many guarding circuits — the drive itself removes torque from the motor when the STO input is de-energized, meeting SIL 3 / PL e as a stand-alone safety function.
Panel fit and compliance
IP20 / UL Open Type enclosure means it's for indoor panel installation only — no washdown or dust protection. Size FSC: 295 mm high, 140 mm wide, 225.4 mm deep. That's compact for an 11 kW drive; it fits a standard 400 mm deep enclosure with room for wiring ducts. External 24 V DC supply is required for the control electronics. The main power stage runs off the AC line, but the logic board and I/O need a separate 24 V source — plan for a power supply in the panel.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active, quoted to order
Lifecycle status is active — Siemens still produces this order code. For BOM planning, this drive is a current catalog item with no imminent phase-out. Sourced through authorized industrial distribution channels with full manufacturer traceability.
