Actuator-Sensor-Interface
■ Overview
The AS-Interface compact start-
er is a load feeder with IP 65 de-
gree of protection, which is fully
prewired inside, for switching
and protecting any three-phase
loads up to 5.5 kW at AC 400/
500 V (electromechanical com-
pact starter) or up to 2.2 kW
(electronic compact starter) –
mostly 3-phase standard mo-
tors in direct-on-line and revers-
ing operation. It consists either
of an electromechanical con-
trolgear combination or an elec-
tronic overload relay and circuit-
breaker unit. The overload or
short-circuit protection is located
below a sealable, transparent
cover and is therefore available
for diagnosis. Two LEDs are pro-
vided to the left of the cover for
diagnostic purposes for the AS-
Interface and the auxiliary pow-
er.
It is not possible for live parts to
be touched even when the cov-
er is open. The control elements
are activated via the integrated
outputs. The device status is
scanned via the inputs, e.g.
checkback from auxiliary con-
tacts of circuit-breaker and con-
tactor(s). A further input is used
to detect the operating state of
the optional hand-held terminal.
The three power connectors are
used to feed and loop through
to the load supply voltage
(power bus) and to connect to
the load itself. Prefabricated
power supply lines can be used
to connect compact starters
which are directly adjacent to
each other. The maximum
number of starters that can be
supplied via a power supply ca-
ble is limited by the maximum
permissible total current (up to
max. 4 mm2 ≅ ~ 35 A), see
Technical Data
Wiring and assembly
All the connections are either of
the plug-in type or use the
easy-installation insulation-
piercing method.
The shaped cables for the 24 V
auxiliary power supply which is
used to control the contactors
as well as the AS-Interface data
cable must simply be inserted in
the mounting plate. The com-
pact starter is then cradled in
the mounting plate and screwed
tight. The compact starter and
the mounting plate must be or-
dered separately. The connec-
tors used to supply power to the
main circuit must likewise be or-
dered separately (see Acces-
sories in the Selection and Or-
dering Data).
Siemens NS K · 2002
The load itself and any other
compact starters are supplied
using the same connection
technique. All the supply and
data cables can thus be laid
through the system like a bus.
Whereas the controlgear is
switched via the outputs by the
24 V auxiliary power supply, the
inputs are supplied by the AS-
Interface data cable. This princi-
ple of separate auxiliary power
supplies facilitates selective
emergency stop concepts.
Addressing
The addressing of the AS-Inter-
face compact starter can still be
used even if it is fully wired, be-
cause the module is disconnect-
ed from the AS-Interface network
as soon as the addressing con-
nector is inserted.
DS/RS compact starters
(electromechanical)
The electromechanical compact
starters consist of a conventional
switchgear combination with a
SIRIUS 3R circuit-breaker for
protection against short-circuits
and overloading and SIRIUS 3R
contactor(s) for normal switch-
ing. The advantages of the elec-
tromechanical starters are the re-
liable isolation during disconnec-
tion and tripping, the integrated
fuseless protection against short-
circuits and the favorable price.
What is more, direct currents can
also be switched with the elec-
tromechanical starters.
Planning information: In the
case of temperature-critical ap-
plications, we recommend op-
eration in the lower setting
range of the circuit-breaker.
EDS/ERS compact starters
(electronic)
The electronic compact starters
EDS (direct starter) and ERS
(reversing starter) consist of an
electronic overload relay and an
electronic circuit-breaker unit.
The advantages of these elec-
tronic compact starters are the
broad limits within which the
overload protection can be ad-
justed (the power range up to
2.2 kW at AC 400/500 V is cov-
ered with just 2 variants), the
fact that the electronic contact
elements in the power section
are non-wearing, current detec-
tion (used for monitoring the en-
ergy connector), emergency op-
eration in the event of an over-
load as well as remote resetting
via the AS-Interface after over-
load tripping.

in the devices that have brake
contacts. At the project plan-
ning stage, it is important to en-
sure that these starters are lo-
cated alongside each other.
All compact starters can be
equipped with a brake contact
for DC 500 V with a brake con-
tact AC 400.
Hand-held terminal
The hand-held terminal enables
the compact starter to be oper-
ated locally and autonomously,
providing that the auxiliary volt-
age supply is connected. Thus,
assuming that the automation
level is functioning correctly, lo-
cal switching operations can be
carried out in addition to normal
manual operations in the event
of a programmable controller /
bus system failure (emergency
mode) or during test runs be-
fore commissioning, e.g. for
testing the direction of rotation
of the motor. The hand-held ter-
minal can be connected to the
compact starter by means of a
connecting cable via a socket
underneath the transparent
cover.
