Soft starters are used to start three-phase induction motors with reduced torque and reduced
starting current.
The 3RW52 soft starter starts the motor as soon as the switch-on command is issued (t
During the ramp-up time (t
to t3), the current is conducted via power semiconductors which

The 3RW52 soft starter features internal run-up recognition. If it detects that the motor has
reached its rated operating speed before the ramp-up time expires, the motor voltage is
immediately increased to 100 % of the line voltage (t
). The internal bypass contacts close

and the power semiconductors are bypassed. The 3RW52 soft starter is then in bypass
operation.
Coast-down to zero speed is activated when the switch-on command is cancelled (t

If the connection to the control source is aborted, the control priority automatically switches

A higher-priority mode can actively take over as master control from a lower-priority mode at
any time; the reverse is not possible.
The master control function can only be returned to the mode with the lowest priority. Control
sources with higher priority must take the master control function from the mode with the
lowest priority.

A mode with lower priority can only take the master control function back while the motor is
switched off.
The mode with higher priority takes over or receives the master control function from the
current mode in the following ways:
● The mode with higher priority actively takes over the master control function:
– 3RW5 HMI: With the action "LOCAL / REMOTE"
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
● The digital inputs receive the control priority from an operating mode with lower priority
via the following options:
– Via the "Manual operation local - input controlled" bit in the process image output
(PIQ) or in the data table "process image output (PIQ)" (depending on the 3RW5
communication module). You will find more information on the process images and
data tables in the manual for the 3RW5 communication module in question.

The mode with the lowest priority receives or takes over the master control function from the
current mode in the following ways:
● The mode with higher priority actively returns the master control function:
– 3RW5 HMI: With the action "LOCAL / REMOTE"
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
● With control priority of the digital inputs or in the event of a connection abort, the
operating mode with the lower priority can actively retrieve the control priority:
– Via the "Manual operation local - input controlled" bit in the process image output
(PIQ) or in the data table "process image output (PIQ)" (depending on the 3RW5
communication module). You will find more information on the process images and
data tables in the manual for the 3RW5 communication module in question.

Starting of a motor causes a rapid change in the load current. The resulting torque impulses
place severe stresses on the mechanical parts of a machine or plant. Moreover, voltage dips
can occur in the power supply system which can have a negative influence on other devices:
● Flicker in lights
● Influence on computer systems
● Contactors and relays dropping out
The 3RW52 soft starter controls the voltage continuously. The torque and the current are
thus also increased continuously. The power supply system is safeguarded against peak
loads and the drive train is protected against damage:
● Smooth starting / stopping, e.g. for conveyor belts
● No pressure surges, e.g. for pumps
● Increased service life of the pipe system, e.g. for compressors
● Reduced starting current, e.g. for agitators
● Reduced stress on gearbox and V belt, e.g. for saws

1.10.3 SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) is the central software for configuring, commissioning,
operation, and diagnostics of 3RW5 soft starters.
You connect your PC / programming device to the soft starter via the local interface on the
optional 3RW5 HMI High Feature.
By displaying all operating data, service data and diagnostics data, SIRIUS Soft Starter ES
supplies reliable information, helping to avoid faults, or quickly locating and eliminating them
if they occur.
With the premium license, soft starters can also be parameterized and diagnosed from a
central location via PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET on the optional communication module.
SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) can be downloaded from the Internet
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/24231/dl
The 3RW5 HMI Standard can be used to monitor and control (motor ON / OFF) the 3RW52
