Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 6SL3210-1PE18-0UL1 is the correct module for your application:
- Step 1 — Power rating: Motor rated power ≤ 7.5 kW at 400 V? ✔ This module fits.
- Step 2 — Supply voltage: Three-phase 380–480 V AC available at the cabinet? ✔ Compatible.
- Step 3 — Overload requirement: Need 150% overload for 60 s (e.g., conveyors, hoists)? ✔ Supported.
- Step 4 — Control Unit: Using CU320-2 or CU310-2? ✔ Native DRIVE-CLiQ connection.
- Step 5 — Cooling: Cabinet with forced-air ventilation or open chassis mounting? ✔ IP20 chassis design.
- Step 6 — Certifications: Project requires CE + UL? ✔ Both included.
If any step does not match, contact support@konmask.com for an alternative recommendation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace 6SL3210-1PE18-0UL1 with 6SL3210-1PE18-0AL0 (PM240)?
A: Functionally similar, but PM240 and PM240-2 have different mechanical footprints and connector layouts. A direct swap requires bracket and wiring adaptation. Recommended only if PM240-2 is unavailable.
Q: Is this module compatible with SINAMICS G120?
A: No. The S120 PM240-2 uses DRIVE-CLiQ and is designed for the S120 platform. G120 uses a different Power Module interface (e.g., 6SL3224-xxxx). Use the G120 PM240-2 series for G120 systems.
Q: Can I use a third-party VFD as a replacement?
A: Yes, with caveats. Cross-brand replacements (ABB, Yaskawa, Danfoss) require full rewiring, parameter setup, and may not support PROFINET/PROFIBUS natively. Suitable for standalone pump/fan applications, not for multi-axis S120 systems.
Q: What is the lead time for 6SL3210-1PE18-0UL1?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock, typical lead time is 4–8 weeks from Siemens factory. Contact us for real-time availability.
Q: Do you provide a test report or certificate of conformity?
A: Yes. CoC and inspection reports are available upon request for all shipments.
