Features:
- Handles heavy starting loads and momentary overloads without tripping; minimizes production interruptions.
- Saves cabinet space; plug‑in screw terminals for easy wiring; IP20 metal housing.
- Meets EN 50598‑2 efficiency standards; reduces harmonic distortion; UL, cUL, CE, C‑Tick, SEMI F47 approvals.
The 6SL3210-1PE21-8AL0 is engineered for applications with demanding load cycles. Its High Overload (HO) rating allows the drive to deliver 150% of rated current for 57 seconds (e.g., starting a loaded conveyor or accelerating a high‑inertia fan) and 200% for 3 seconds (e.g., clearing a momentary jam). The Low Overload (LO) rating is 110% for 57 seconds and 150% for 3 seconds. This overload capability is defined within a 300‑second cycle time, meaning the drive can handle peak loads repeatedly as long as the average load stays within the continuous rating. For engineers, this eliminates the need to oversize the drive for short‑duration peak loads.
The 6SL3210-1PE21-8AL0 is a size FSB drive, measuring only 100 mm wide, 292 mm high, and 165 mm deep. It weighs just 3.2 kg, allowing installation in tight control cabinets where larger drives would not fit. The narrow width (100 mm) is particularly advantageous when multiple drives must be mounted side by side. The compact size does not compromise performance: it delivers 18A continuous (LO) and 27A peak. The module uses plug‑in screw terminals for line and motor connections, accepting 1.5‑6.0 mm² wire.
Energy efficiency is a major consideration for continuous‑duty drives. The 6SL3210-1PE21-8AL0 meets IE2 efficiency class under EN 50598‑2, the standard for motor drive systems. For a 7.5 kW motor running 24/7, switching from a fixed‑speed motor (often oversized) to a variable speed drive can save 20‑50% of energy. The drive’s power loss values are shown in the document diagrams; note that losses increase by 10% for calculated values per the standard.
The 6SL3210-1PE21-8AL0 SIEMENS Power Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Pumping & Ventilation: Optimized for centrifugal pumps, radial/axial fans, and small compressors in building automation or industrial cooling.
- Conveyor Technology: Ideal for belt conveyors, chain conveyors, and roller tracks in logistics centers.
- Machine Processing: Used in milling machines, mixers, and industrial washing machines.
- Standard Building Services: HVAC systems where the integrated Class A filter helps suppress electromagnetic interference in industrial grids.
- Firmware Storage: The firmware is stored on the Control Unit (e.g., CU240E-2 or CU250S-2). The Power Module contains hardware-level parameters (ID data) that the CU reads upon startup.
- Updates: You update the drive by upgrading the Control Unit's firmware via an SD card or through TIA Portal/Startdrive.
- Hardware Compatibility: The 6SL3210-1PE21-8AL0 is compatible with all current G120 Control Units from firmware version V4.4 and higher. Always ensure your CU firmware supports the specific PM240-2 hardware revision.
- TIA Portal (Startdrive): The most modern way to integrate the drive into a Siemens automation environment.
- STARTER: The classic stand-alone commissioning tool for deep-level parameterization.
- BOP-2 / IOP-2: Local operator panels for quick on-site setup without a PC.
