The Siemens 3RK1301-0EB00-0AA2 is a SIMATIC-branded direct motor starter designed for 24 V DC control supply (20.4 to 28.8 V permissible range). It integrates PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP protocols for fieldbus connectivity, making it a networked motor control component for a distributed I/O or PLC architecture.
Rated for a maximum switching frequency of 750 operations per hour, so it handles moderate cycling — not a high-speed pick-and-place, but fine for a production line with start/stop intervals of several seconds. Mounting is pluggable onto a terminal module, so panel replacement or swap-out does not require rewiring the power base; the control module lifts off.
