  • 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)
  • Direct communication into cloud based solutions via OPC UA
  • Motor control and diagnostic data via a standard web browser without additional software
  • Integrated HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) with colour display
  • Media redundancy for reliable network availability
  • Integration in the process control system PCS 7 V9.0 SP2 with the 3RW5 block library
