Product details

SIRIUS MCU reversing starter, I/O controlled

Enclosure is IP55, so the unit is dust-protected and can handle water jets from any direction — suitable for installation in washdown areas or outdoor cabinets where the starter is exposed to hose-down cleaning. The operating voltage range is 340 to 440 V AC, covering 400 V nominal systems with tolerance.

Control supply and fieldbus note

Control supply voltage is 20.4 to 26.4 V DC, so you need a 24 V DC power supply in the panel — no AC control voltage option here. The unit has no digital inputs onboard (0 digital inputs), which means the I/O control signal comes from an external controller or PLC via hardwired connections. There is no PROFIBUS DP, no PROFINET, no AS-Interface, and no bus communication support on this variant — it's a pure hardwired I/O reversing starter. If you need fieldbus integration, you'd look at a different SIRIUS MCU order code with the communication module built in.

Frequently asked questions

Is 3RK4340-3AR51-1BA0 a reversing starter?

Yes, the product design is specifically a reversing starter. That means it has two contactors mechanically interlocked to reverse the phase sequence to the motor, allowing forward and reverse operation from a single device. It's part of the SIRIUS MCU family of motor starters.

Does 3RK4340-3AR51-1BA0 have PROFIBUS or PROFINET?

No. This variant does not support PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, or AS-Interface. It has no bus communication capability at all — it's a pure I/O-controlled reversing starter. The control signal comes via hardwired I/O from an external controller.

Where can I buy 3RK4340-3AR51-1BA0?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ. Availability and pricing are confirmed at quote time.
