3RA2712-1CA00 SIEMENS

The 3RA2712-1CA00 is a function module designed for AS-i (Actuator Sensor Interface) communication, specifically tailored for star-delta (wye-delta) starting applications. This module facilitates the smooth transition from a star connection to a delta connection during motor startup, reducing inrush current and mechanical stress. It utilizes screw terminals for secure and reliable electrical connections. The 3RA2712-1CA00 is intended for direct installation onto Siemens 3RT2 series contactors, creating a compact and integrated motor starter solution. To enable communication capabilities, this function module requires a communication-capable contactor from the 3RT2 series. This allows for seamless integration into automated systems and remote monitoring of motor status. The module enhances motor control by providing a controlled starting sequence, extending motor lifespan and improving overall system efficiency. It is ideal for applications where reduced starting current and controlled acceleration are crucial. The AS-i interface simplifies wiring and reduces installation costs compared to traditional hardwired systems. This function module offers a robust and reliable solution for star-delta motor starting in industrial environments.
