Rated for 24 V DC control voltage (20.4 to 28.8 V permissible range), it handles the logic and power switching in a single compact package that mounts pluggable onto a terminal module — no separate contactor-and-overload wiring.
That covers most industrial distribution panels. Degree of Pollution 3 at 400 V (per IEC 60664 / IEC 61131) means it's rated for conductive pollution environments — think factory floors with dust, humidity, or occasional condensation. At 500 V it derates to Pollution Degree 2, which still covers clean indoor control cabinets. Shock rated at 5g/11 ms and vibration at 2g — typical for machinery-mounted applications like conveyors, pumps, or fans where the starter lives on the same subframe as the motor.
Dimensions are 265 mm high, 90 mm wide, 120 mm deep — a vertical-oriented footprint that stacks neatly on a DIN-rail terminal module. The pluggable interface means you can pre-wire the base and swap the electronics module without touching the power wiring. Mounts in either vertical or horizontal orientation, giving flexibility in crowded cabinets. The main energy infeed uses screw-type terminals, so standard ring or fork lugs work. Communication rides on both PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP protocols — the starter integrates directly into a SIMATIC S7 or third-party controller that speaks either fieldbus, no gateway needed. Input/output image is 1 byte each for the process data — enough for control word, status word, and a few diagnostics bits. No discrete digital I/O on the base unit; those come via the control module slot if needed.
