What this SIMATIC motor starter gives you
Rated 50 kA at 400 V, so it handles high-fault-current installations without upstream coordination headaches. Plugs onto a terminal module, which keeps wiring changes to a screwdriver turn rather than a panel rework.
Fieldbus fit and footprint
Both PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP are onboard — no separate comm module needed, so it drops into an existing S7 line without adding another slot occupant. Mounts vertical or horizontal, so you can tuck it into tight gland-plate layouts.
Rated for 750 operations per hour, so it keeps up with rapid cycling on a batch line. Supply voltage is 24 V DC nominal, range 20.4 to 28.8 V, which matches common control transformers and UPS-backed supplies.
Environmental toughness
Shock rated 5 g for 11 ms — shrugs off the vibration from a nearby crusher or mill. Pollution degree 3 at 400 V, 2 at 500 V per IEC 60664 — suitable for dusty, conductive environments like a mineral processing plant.
