Product details

Panel fit and mounting clearances

The 3RW5217-1AC04 measures 275 mm high, 170 mm wide, and 152 mm deep — screw-fixed to a vertical mounting surface, rotatable ±90° and tiltable ±22.5° forward/backward. Minimum clearance around the unit: 100 mm above, 75 mm below, 10 mm forward, 0 mm backward, and 5 mm at the sides — plan the gland plate and busway accordingly.

Motor starting duty and trip class

Rated 200-480 V AC, with a minimum settable current of 15.5 A and a minimum load of 15 % relative to the smallest settable Ie — suitable for light-load starts on pumps, fans, or compressors.

Fieldbus and control connectivity

Built-in PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET — no separate communication module needed for most networks. PROFIenergy is supported in connection with the PROFINET standard communication module, enabling energy management during idle periods. Analog output is configurable as 4-20 mA (default) or 0-10 V (parameterizable with High Feature HMI); firmware updates are possible in the field.

Environmental and compliance

Operates from -25 to +60 °C with derating above 40 °C; shock resistance is 15 g / 11 ms (12 g / 11 ms with potential contact lifting). CE, UL, and CSA approved — accepted in European and North American installations without additional agency review.
