Drive ratings that define the swap
The 6SL3210-1PC25-4UL0 is a SINAMICS G120 Power Module PM240-2 in blocksize format — the power stage without a Control Unit or operator panel. It ships unfiltered with an integrated braking chopper, so it handles regenerative deceleration on conveyors or centrifuges without an external resistor for moderate duty cycles. Two overload profiles are baked into the firmware: High Overload (HO) delivers 11 kW with 200% current for 3 seconds, 150% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds at ambient up to 50 °C. Low Overload (LO) delivers 15 kW with 150% for 3 seconds, 110% for 57 seconds, and 100% for 240 seconds at ambient up to 40 °C. LO suits steady-state extruder or conveyor loads.
Lifecycle status is active — Siemens still builds this PM240-2 variant. The product class is D (made to customer specifications), meaning each unit is configured against the BOM and not held as off-the-shelf stock. RoHS compliance dates from January 1, 2017. REACH Article 33 disclosure notes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w in certain components — this is a standard declaration for drives with soldered power semiconductors, not a restriction on sale or installation.
Panel fit and integration notes
The module measures 472 x 200 x 237 mm (HxWxD), FSD frame size, IP20. It mounts into a standard 200 mm-wide gland plate opening — the 237 mm depth leaves clearance for the DC bus and motor cables behind the backplane. No Control Unit or operator panel is included; the drive requires a CU240x-2 series controller ordered separately. Input is 3-phase 200-240 VAC +10/-20%, 47-63 Hz. The unfiltered variant means the drive conducts common-mode noise back to the line — plan for an external line reactor or input filter if the installation shares a transformer with sensitive equipment.
