  • 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.

Simulation Tool for Soft Starters (STS)

You can use the Simulation Tool for Soft Starters (STS) to select the right devices for your application – as a desktop application or optimized for your mobile device. Your selection is then automatically transferred to the Siemens Industry Mall ready for ordering via a link.

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 like the Rockwell control systems for example.

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.
