SIRIUS 3RC7 Intelligent Link Modules

Siemens SIRIUS 3RC7 transforms SIRIUS switchgear into intelligent sensors that provide real-time information, opening many possibilities. Numerous parameters of the load feeder can be directly recorded and evaluated, such as voltage, current, phase asymmetry, number of overload tripping, and much more. The integrated diagnostic functions help to detect and correct errors faster. The data can be used for predictive maintenance, among other things.

With SIRIUS 3RC7, the SIRIUS modular system goes digital. By integrating it into the SIMATIC system via the SIMATIC ET 200SP, the intelligent link module creates a connection between field devices and automation. It enables comprehensive transparency and thus optimized performance at all levels.

SIRIUS Modular System

The contactors from the SIRIUS modular system are ideal for switching motors and other electrical consumers. It is a well thought-out, modular system for circuit protection and switching. Optimally matched and dimensioned products across all sizes support the specific application. The SIRIUS modular system provides devices for switching, protecting, controlling, and monitoring motors from frame sizes S00 to S12 (fractional HP to 400 HP at 460 V). The portfolio has over 50,000 combination tests and approvals for worldwide use. Pre-assembled motor starters are offered up to 20 HP at 460 V.

The advantages of the SIRIUS modular system include:

• The SIRIUS 3RV29 infeed system is a small power bus with up to 63 A and can be installed almost without tools thanks to the plug-in connection, perfect for eliminating power feeder wiring and saving space for small motor and circuit breaker applications
• Switching technology becomes part of automation as part of totally integrated automation (TIA), a leading concept from Siemens
• Easy access to all product documentation through CAx download manager available around the clock on Siemens industrial online support site (SIOS)
• Proactive protection: the integrated overload function and the detection of faults, deviations, and maintenance needs facilitate diagnostics and enable preventive maintenance
• Load feeders in sizes S00 and S0 up to 32 A can be easily connected to the automation system thanks to the intelligent SIRIUS 3RC7 link module which provides process transparency and control for maximum system availability
