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.

Network-capable motor starters

Integration into fieldbus systems is implemented using 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.

Advantages with hybrid motor starters

  • 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 connector latching concept
  • I/O cards no longer required (controller) with the 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs on the gateway
