Siemens SINAMICS G120 PM240-2 Power Module

Description

• 6SL3210-1PE32-1UL0​ → PM240-2, 3 AC 380–480V input, Rated current 32 A​ (corresponds to ~ 15 kW / 20 HP​ @ 400V — typical: 15 kW for heavy-duty / 18.5 kW for normal-duty variable torque), IP20, Frame size FSA/FSC?​ Actually PE32 = Frame size FSB/C (booksize — approx. 73 mm wide for PM240-2 FSB @ 32A)​ — check Siemens catalog: 6SL3210-1PE32-1UL0 = PM240-2, 3AC380-480V, 32A, no line filter (UL0 = unfiltered; 5UL0 = with Class A line filter).
• 6SL3210-1PE32-5UL0​ → Same PM240-2 32A power module BUT with built-in Class A line filter (EMC filter Category C2/A)​ — use when compliance with EN 55011 Class A required and no external filter desired. If your installation already has a separate line reactor/filter — the unfiltered (-1UL0) is typical.
• PM240-2​ is the power stage ONLY — you MUST add a Control Unit (CU): e.g., 6SL3244-0BB13-1PA0 (CU240B-2)​ for basic V/f & FCC; 6SL3244-0BE23-1PA0 (CU240E-2)​ for expanded I/O + Safety; 6SL3246-0BA22-1BA0 (CU250S-2)​ for encoder evaluation (closed-loop w/ encoder) & advanced safety — CU NOT included with PM!
• G120 system also needs: Operator Panel (IOP-2: 6SL3255-0AA00-4CA1 or BOP-2: 6SL3255-0AA00-4JA2 — optional but highly recommended for commissioning without STARTER/TIA), Screen/cover (6SL3256-0AP00-0AA0 for PM240-2 FSB).

Key Features (PM240-2 6SL3210-1PE32-□UL0)

• Input Voltage: 3 AC 380 … 480 V (±10%) — 50/60 Hz
• Rated Current: 32 A (Heavy Duty HD = 15 kW / Normal Duty ND = 18.5 kW @ 400V — check motor nameplate)
• Output Frequency: 0 … 650 Hz (max V/f or vector controlled)
• Braking: External braking resistor can be connected (term. U+/U- or P+/P- depending on frame) — PM240-2 has no internal brake chopper on small frames? Actually PM240-2 FSA/FSB doeshave internal brake chopper — terminals P+/P- or U+/U- for external resistor (order separately: e.g., 6SL3000-0BE23-6DA0 for 750W resistor or sized per application)
• Cooling: Forced ventilation (integral fan on most PM240-2 FSB+)
• Safety: Via CU — STO (Safe Torque Off) terminals on CU250S-2 / CU240E-2 (SIL 2 / PL d)
• Country of Origin: Germany / China / Austria (Siemens DI PA AS SM)

Model & Variant Reference (SINAMICS G120 PM240-2 Listed — Filtered vs Unfiltered)

⚠️ CRITICAL G120 NOTES:

1. PM ≠ Complete Drive!​ The 6SL3210-1PE32-… is a Power Module ONLY. You must​ add a Control Unit (CU240B-2 / CU240E-2 / CU250S-2)​ + operator panel (IOP-2/BOP-2 — optional but strongly advised)​ + mounting screws / strain relief / shield clamp (6SL3260-…)​ to make a working G120 inverter.
2. CU Selection:
   • Basic V/f + FCC (sensorless vector) → CU240B-2 (6SL3244-0BB13-1PA0)​
   • Extra DI/DO, safety (STO), PtP USS/Modbus → CU240E-2 (6SL3244-0BE23-1PA0)​
   • Encoder input (TTL/HTL/SSI for closed-loop vector), advanced safety (SS1, SLS etc.), tech functions → CU250S-2 (6SL3246-0BA22-1BA0)​
3. Filter vs Unfiltered: -1UL0 (unfiltered) = no internal EMC filter — if your site/environment requires conducted emission compliance per EN 55011 Class A → either buy -5UL0 (with filter) OR add external line filter (6SL3000-2BE25-…). -5UL0 simplifies wiring but filter always present (slight losses).
4. Braking Resistor: PM240-2 FSB has internal brake chopper — connect external braking resistor to terminals P+ / P-​ (or U+/U- marked on some labels) — size wattage & ohm per motor regen energy. Order separate (e.g., 6SL3000-0BE23-6DA0 = 750W 80Ω typical for small–mid size).
5. Parameterization: Use STARTER (free from Siemens Industry Online Support)​ or TIA Portal → Add G120 (PM240-2 + CU type) → set motor data, ctrl mode (V/f, VVC+, sensorless vector), ramp times, digital I/O assignment. First commissioning via IOP-2 (menu-guided motor wizard) also possible w/o PC.

Technical Specifications (Representative — 6SL3210-1PE32-1UL0 PM240-2, 3AC380-480V, 32A, Unfiltered)

Warranty & After-Sales

• Factory new units: 12 months warranty
• Refurbished units: 3-6 months warranty (power-up + dummy motor spin with CU/IOP-2 — verify DC bus & output V/f)
• Technical support for:
  • CU selection guidance (CU240B-2 vs CU240E-2 vs CU250S-2 — match app needs: basic V/f → CU240B; safety/extra DI → CU240E; encoder closed-loop → CU250S)
  • Filter decision (-1UL0 unfiltered vs -5UL0 filtered — when external filter/reactors needed)
  • Braking resistor sizing (P+ / P- terminals — calc regen energy or use Siemens selection table: e.g., 6SL3000-0BE23-6DA0 750W 80Ω for ≤15kW typical)
  • STARTER / TIA Portal quick-start (insert PM240-2 + CU type → motor wizard → download → test run)
  • Line reactor / fusing recommendation (3× fuses or MCCB 1.5×I_rated typ — e.g., 50A MCCB for 32A PM)
  • Cross-ref to G120C (compact all-in-one — if you don’t need modular CU swap-ability, G120C 6SL3210-5BE31-… may be simpler/cheaper)
• Optional: CU240B-2/CU240E-2/CU250S-2, IOP-2 (6SL3255-0AA00-4CA1), BOP-2, braking resistor, line reactor (6SL3000-3AC28-…), shield clamp kit (6SL3260-1YA00-0AA0)
