The Siemens 6SL3211-1PB13-8AL0 is a SINAMICS Power Module PM240-2 with an integrated Class A EMC filter and a built-in braking chopper, rated for 200-240 V 1/3 AC input at 47-63 Hz. In high-overload (HO) duty it delivers 0.55 kW with 200 % overload for 3 s, 150 % for 57 s, and 100 % continuously over a 240 s cycle, within an ambient range of -10 to +50 °C. Under low-overload (LO) it provides 0.75 kW with 150 % for 3 s, 110 % for 57 s, and 100 % for 240 s, but the ambient ceiling drops to +40 °C. This means the HO rating governs motor sizing for applications like conveyors or pumps that need short bursts of torque, while the LO rating suits steady-running fans or mixers where the drive can run cooler.
Integration and mounting
The PM240-2 comes in frame size FSA — 238 x 126 x 171 mm (H x W x D) — and carries IP20-PT degree of protection, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12 mm but not sealed against moisture; it is intended for installation inside a control cabinet, not for washdown or outdoor deployment. It requires a separate Control Unit (CU) and operator panel, which are ordered as companion items. The module is released as of CU firmware version V4.6, so ensure the control unit firmware is at that level or higher for compatibility.
