The Siemens 3RK1303-6ES84-3AA3 is a solid-state reversing starter in the SIRIUS 3RK13 family, designed for motor control in industrial automation.
This starter communicates via PROFIBUS DP, not PROFINET, so it integrates into existing DP networks — useful for legacy line architectures or where deterministic fieldbus cycles are preferred. It provides 4 digital inputs, 2 of which are on M12 sockets for sensor feedback, and 0 digital outputs. The digital inputs are parameterizable, so you can configure them for start/stop, reversing commands, or interlock signals through the bus.
Protection and Environmental
Full motor protection is integrated, with solid-state switching contacts that eliminate arcing wear. Short-circuit protection is fuse-based, which is typical for solid-state starters to handle fault currents up to 100 kA.
