Each soft starter can support one communications module at a time.
Available protocols:
Ethernet (Profinet, Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP), Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU, and USB.

Remote Control Panel (RCP)
A remote mounted keypad can be installed with the ASTAT XL. The keypad can be mounted up to 3
metres away from the starter, for control and monitoring.
The starter can be controlled and programmed from either the remote keypad or the keypad on the
starter. Both displays show the same information.
The remote keypad also allows parameter settings to be copied between soft starters.
