The Siemens 3RK4320-3GR51-1BA0 is a SIRIUS reversing motor starter MCU designed for AS-Interface bus communication. It integrates a reversing contactor and motor protection into one unit, so a single order code covers the forward/reverse switching and overload protection for a motor branch. The unit is current-production (lifecycle stage: current), so it remains a standard BOM line for new panels and replacement builds.
Integration and mounting notes
The 3RK4320-3GR51-1BA0 carries an IP55 protection class, so it is suited for installation in enclosures where dust and water jets are present — typical for washdown areas or outdoor cabinets. Dimensions are 145 mm deep, 182 mm wide, and 220 mm high. Plan for a panel cutout or DIN-rail footprint that accommodates this envelope plus clearance for the AS-Interface bus cabling and power wiring. The control supply voltage is 20.4 to 26.4 V DC.
