It's a direct starter with electromechanical switching contacts, rated 12 A at AC-3/400 V — that's the motor-load switching current, not a resistive-heater rating. The same 12 A holds at AC/400 V general rating. Short-circuit protection is handled by upstream circuit-breakers, not fuses. The unit includes a motor brake output for 400 V AC brake control — useful for holding loads on conveyors or vertical axes. It carries 2 digital inputs and operates on a control supply of 20.4 to 26.4 V DC. Enclosure rating is IP54 — splash-proof and dust-limited, suited for cabinet-mount or protected field locations, not open washdown zones.
Dimensions: 245 mm wide, 215 mm high, 205 mm deep. Three poles for the main current circuit. The AS-Interface bus connection handles both communication and power for the electronics — no separate control wiring for the bus, just the 24 V DC supply for the coil and auxiliaries.
