Hybrid motor starters

Hybrid motor starters

Our hybrid motor starters replace a conventional reversing contactor and the motor protection with a single device. Switch motors safely and reliably with hybrid motor starters. Use the devices wherever three-phase asynchronous motors need to be reversed and protected. The hybrid motor starter product range consists of direct and reversing starters, which are available with various functions such as emergency stop.

Your advantages with our hybrid motor starters

  • Fast wiring with integrated locking circuit and load wiring
  • Adjustable motor protection with bimetal function up to 9 A
  • Flexible and straightforward fieldbus connection with a suitable gateway
  • Easy group shutdown via DIN rail bus connectors after an emergency stop with an upstream safety relay
  • Motor starters are part of the COMPLETE line system

Easily network hybrid motor starters with IO-Link

Network-capable motor starters

Integration into fieldbus systems is realized via the Interface system connection. Corresponding gateways are available for all common fieldbus systems. Transfer your process data easily and network your devices quickly using both the interface system and the available IO-Link versions. Not only do you benefit from space and wiring savings, you can also enjoy the advantages of diagnostic functions. Custom process data linking helps you meet your application requirements – and that includes digitalization and Industry 4.0.

Your advantages

  • Flexible and straightforward fieldbus connection with a suitable gateway
  • Simple 24 V power supply to IFS devices without additional wiring effort
  • Fast connection of other IFS devices with the DIN rail bus connector latching concept
  • I/O cards no longer required (controller) with the eight digital inputs and four digital outputs on the gateway
