What this PM230 power module is and what it needs
The Siemens 6SL3210-1NE26-0AL0 is a SINAMICS G120 PM230 power module with a built-in Class A EMC filter, rated for 3AC 380-480 V +10/-10% at 47-63 Hz. Output is 30 kW under low overload (110% for 60 s, 100% for 240 s), ambient 0 to +40 °C. Frame size is FSD — 419 x 275 x 204 mm (HxWxD), IP20 enclosure. This is a power module only — it requires a separate CU240B/E-2 or CU230P-2 control unit running firmware V4.4. No control unit or operator panel is included. Critical note: the PM230 does not support safety functions, so if your application needs STO or SS1, this is not the module for that line.
The 30 kW low-overload rating means this module can drive a 30 kW motor continuously, with 110% overload for 60 seconds — typical for pumps, fans, and conveyors that don't need a high breakaway torque. The built-in Class A filter meets EN 61800-3 for first-environment (domestic) conducted emissions, so you can skip an external input filter in most European installations. IP20 means it's for clean, dry cabinet mounting only — no washdown, no dust. The FSD frame (419 x 275 x 204 mm) fits a standard 400 mm deep enclosure; plan for 100 mm clearance above and below for airflow. DIN-rail mounting is not supported — this bolts directly to the backplate.
