The ABB PSE25 soft starter 1SFA897102R7000 provides soft start with torque control for three-phase induction motors, with a configurable ramp time from 0 to 30 seconds. It operates on a 208 to 600 V AC supply and accepts a 100 to 250 V AC control supply plus a separate 24 V DC control circuit — common in panel builds where the PLC runs on 24 V and the power stage on line voltage. The built-in electronic overload protection covers locked rotor, current underload, and EOL scenarios, so you can skip an external overload relay in most motor control centers.
Modbus-RTU over screw terminals is the onboard fieldbus — no option card needed. The 4...20 mA analog outputs give you a direct process-variable signal to a PLC analog input or a panel meter. Three signal relays (run, fault, bypass, overload) are standard, so you can wire a run-permissive to the safety circuit and a bypass confirmation back to the HMI without adding interposing relays.
