What is the 3RK4320-3PQ51-0BA2?
The SIRIUS 3RK4320-3PQ51-0BA2 is a motor starter MCU (Motor Control Unit) designed for AS-Interface networks — a direct starter with electromechanical switching contacts and bimetal motor protection. Built for washdown or dusty environments with an IP54 enclosure, this starter handles ambient temperatures from -25 to +50 °C. The DC control supply runs on 20.4 to 26.4 V, and the unit includes a built-in motor brake output — a feature that saves an external contactor on applications needing mechanical holding.
AS-Interface Integration and Dimensions
This starter communicates natively over AS-Interface (the protocol is supported), with two digital inputs on board. It does not support PROFINET or PROFIBUS DP, so if your line runs those fieldbuses, you'll need a gateway or a different variant. Physical footprint: 245 mm wide, 215 mm high, 205 mm deep.
