Description
3
You can equip SIRIUS soft starters of the 3RW5 series with an optional 3RW5 communication
module and therefore also with network functionality. Using the 3RW5 communication module,
you integrate the 3RW5 soft starters into the associated network environment with their
complete functionality.
The 3RW5 soft starters can be equipped with a slot for fitting the 3RW5 communication modules.
If the 3RW5 soft starter does not feature a slot, install the 3RW5 communication module next to
the 3RW5 soft starter on a level surface, e.g. a mounting plate.
