AS-Interface Direct-on-line Starter

Pre-assembled, ready-to-use enclosed starters communicate with and are controlled by AS-Interface bus technology. Designed for building distributed control installations, ASI metal enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starters are installed adjacent to the associated motor.

These Transparent Ready® starters operate within a distributed I/O architecture, ensuring compatibility with the Modicon® and Twido® product lines. Options are available to simplify installation and meet a broader range of applications. Both reversible and non-reversible models are available.

Benefits

• Motor control functions, fault status indication and sensor input signaling are performed via AS-Interface control bus for simplified control wiring and reduced installation.
• Modular installation allows user to switch from a centralized motor control cabinet to decentralized control at the motor.
• This comprehensive line of forward and reversing starters is available through 5 HP for increased flexibility.
• Three LED indicators provide motor run status, motor fault indication, control bus and power supply status at a glance.
• AS-Interface bus-controlled auxiliary relay output saves signaling (stack lights, horns) or control (electronic brakes) installation and wiring time.
• Motor operating state is user-configurable, allowing loss of control to be preset for last known state, run or stop configurations.
• Optional rotary control knob provides local lock-out capability.
• IP65 rated models available for wet or dusty environments.
