15 kW at 150% overload — the motor-fit anchor
The 6SL3210-1KE23-2UF1: Rated power of 15.0 kW with 150% overload for 3 seconds means this drive handles a momentary load spike — like a crusher jam or a conveyor start under full belt — without tripping on overcurrent. The 3-second window is enough for most mechanical breakaway events; sustained overloads beyond that need a larger frame. Input accepts 3-phase 380-480 VAC +10/-20% at 47-63 Hz, covering the global 400 V and 480 V line standards without a transformer tap change. The unfiltered input stage means the drive does not include an internal EMC filter — plan for an external filter if the installation must meet conducted emission limits for the local grid code.
I/O and fieldbus — what connects to the terminal block
The I/O interface provides 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output. That is enough for a basic speed/start/stop control with a feedback transducer — the 6 DI cover run, reverse, two fixed speeds, a fault reset, and a jog command without an expansion module. Integrated PROFINET-PN fieldbus eliminates a separate communication module — the drive appears as a PROFINET IO device on the network. Cycle time is set by the PLC's isochronous bus cycle; the G120C supports RT and IRT classes. Safe Torque Off (STO) is integrated per the description — no external safety relay needed for the stop function. STO removes motor torque without disconnecting the main power, meeting SIL 3 / PL e when wired to a dual-channel safety circuit.
Active production — BOM-freeze ready
Lifecycle status is active per the manufacturer record — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window on this order code. The drive can be specified into a new BOM without a replacement plan. Packaging dimensions are 270 x 365 x 160 mm — the carton fits a standard shelf bin. The unit ships as a single piece; no sub-assemblies or loose accessories to track in the kit.
Compliance documentation — what ships with the drive
RoHS compliant since 01-07-06 — the declaration covers the entire assembly. REACH Article 33 disclosure notes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in one or more components; the supplier provides the candidate list reference on request. Export control classification is AL:N / ECCN:N — no license required for shipment to most destinations. The IP20 / UL Open Type rating means the drive is intended for installation in an enclosure that limits access to live parts.
