The Siemens 6SL3210-1KE23-8AP0 is a SINAMICS G120C compact drive rated for 18.5 kW on a 380-480 VAC three-phase supply with a 150% overload capability for 3 seconds — enough headroom for short-duration peak loads like a crusher start or a conveyor breakaway. The integrated Class A EMC filter means it meets conducted emission limits for industrial environments without an external filter box, saving a DIN-rail slot. PROFIBUS DP is onboard, so it drops into a Siemens S7-300/400 or third-party master network with a standard D-sub connection. Safe Torque-Off (STO) is integrated as standard, eliminating the need for a separate safety relay for drive-disable functions.
I/O and integration
The I/O interface includes 6 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analog input, and 1 analog output — enough for basic speed setpoint, run/stop, and fault feedback without an external I/O block. The IP20 / UL Open Type enclosure is panel-mount only, not washdown-rated; install it in a clean cabinet with adequate airflow. The FSC (Frame Size C) footprint is 295 x 140 x 203 mm (HxWxD), so plan for at least 100 mm clearance above and below for ventilation and cable bend radius.
