  • soft start! SIRIUS soft starters are the best solution when direct-on-line or star/delta starting are not suitable for three-phase motors, because mechanical impacts in the machine or voltage dips in the power supply system can often cause problems. A full and comprehensive range of soft starters with intelligent functions offers a softer alternative for almost every application.

SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starter High Performance

Due to its exceptional functionality, the intelligent SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starter can solve even the most difficult starting and stopping tasks simply and particularly gently. Integrated smart functions (for example, pump cleaning, pump stopping, automatic parameterization, condition monitoring) help operators to run their pumps smoothly. Thanks to the SIRIUS 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters with integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality, safety-related applications can also be realized.

 

  • Three-phase controlled for optimal motor start
  • Integrated, safety-related shutdown for SIL 1/PL c and SIL 3/PL e (with STO)
  • ATEX/IECEx-certified for use in hazardous areas
  • Engineering in the TIA Portal
  • A wide range of communications interfaces (PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, Modbus)
  • Integrated HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) with colour display

Overview of 3RW soft starters

3RW55 soft starters media redundancy

One considerable advantage of SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starters is their media redundancy thanks to the new Profinet High Feature communication module and its integrated Ethernet switch. It provides a ring topology in which communication can be maintained via a second port even if the power fails.

EtherNet/IP

SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starter communicates now addionally with EtherNet/IP. This means it is able to communicate with a wide range of process control systems.

Electrical ruggedness

All SIRIUS soft starter have a wide-range voltage versions, so that even if there is a voltage dip, the continued operation of the soft starter, the motor and the application is ensured. This level of electrical ruggedness means that operation is secured even in power supply systems with sporadic voltage dips.
