Duty ratings that drive the selection
The 6SL3210-1PE27-5UL0: Rated for 30 kW high overload (HO) with a duty cycle of 200 % for 3 s, 150 % for 57 s, and 100 % for 240 s at an ambient temperature of -20 to +50 °C — this is the spec that governs the real-world starting and acceleration torque for a pump or conveyor. Low overload (LO) rating is 37 kW with 150 % for 3 s, 110 % for 57 s, and 100 % for 240 s at -20 to +40 °C ambient — use this for constant-torque loads that don't need the peak headroom. Input supply is 3-phase 380-480 V AC +10/-20 %, 47-63 Hz, covering the standard global industrial mains range without needing a transformer tap change.
Cabinet integration and control-unit dependency
IP20 protection means this module is intended for enclosure mounting — no washdown or outdoor exposure without a separate cabinet. The PM240-2 ships without a Control Unit (CU) or operator panel; you must order the matching CU separately and pair it with firmware version V4.7 HF8 or later for full compatibility. Built-in braking chopper handles regenerative energy from fast deceleration — no external braking module needed for most duty cycles.
Compliance and substance disclosure
RoHS compliant since 01-01-17; the REACH Article 33 candidate list includes lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1 % w/w, which must be declared in the supply chain documentation.
