Product details

Fieldbus integration and protection profile

The 3RW5213-3AC05 supports PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET standard — it drops into a multi-protocol line without a gateway. PROFIsafe not listed; safety separation handled externally. Trip class is configurable: default CLASS 10A, with 10E and 20E selectable per IEC 60947-4-2.

Sizing and thermal derating

Minimum set current is 5.5 A, with a 15 % minimum load relative to the smallest settable Ie — so the bottom end is about 0.83 A. Ambient derating starts at 40 °C; full rating holds from -25 °C to +40 °C. Above 40 °C, output current must be reduced per the derating curve — critical for panels with high internal heat rise. Mounting position allows ±10° rotation and forward/backward tilt on a vertical surface.

Wiring and panel space

Screw fixing, not DIN rail snap-on — plan for a mounting plate or back panel. Dimensions are 275 mm height, 170 mm width, 152 mm depth. Clearance requirements: 100 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 75 mm downwards, 5 mm sideways — the upward gap is the biggest constraint; stack multiple units with at least 100 mm between them for airflow.

Lifecycle and compliance documentation

The part carries shock resistance of 15 g / 11 ms, with potential contact lifting above 12 g / 11 ms — relevant for mobile or mining equipment panels where vibration isolation may be needed.

Frequently asked questions

What fieldbus protocols does the 3RW5213-3AC05 support?

It supports PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET standard. PROFIenergy is supported in conjunction with the PROFINET standard communication module. PROFIsafe is not listed.

What trip classes are available on the 3RW5213-3AC05?

The default trip class is CLASS 10A per IEC 60947-4-2, with CLASS 10E and CLASS 20E selectable. CLASS 10A clears a stall in 10 seconds at 7.2× Ie; CLASS 20E allows 20 seconds for high-inertia loads.

What are the mounting clearances for the 3RW5213-3AC05?

Minimum clearances: 100 mm upwards, 10 mm forwards, 75 mm downwards, 5 mm sideways. The upward clearance is the most restrictive — plan for at least 100 mm above the unit for airflow and cable bend radius.
