This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

1.2 Operating principle
Soft starters are used to start three-phase induction motors with reduced torque and reduced
starting current.
The 3RW5 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 3RW5 soft starter features internal start-up detection. 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 soft starter in then in bypass operation.

Depending on the parameter assignment, "Input controlled" has the lowest priority in the
"Manual operation local" mode In the following cases:
● Input action "Manual operation local" is parameterized and switched on.
● A controlling input action (e.g. "Motor CW") is parameterized, but the input action "Manual
operation local" is not parameterized.

1.4 Operating modes and master control function
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:
– Digital inputs: By switching on the input action "Manual operation local", if this is
parameterized.
– 3RW5 HMI: With the action "LOCAL / REMOTE"
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
● If the input action "Manual operation local" is not parameterized, the digital inputs obtain
the master control function from a mode of lower priority in one of the following ways:
– 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.
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) (depending on the 3RW5 communication module)
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:
– Digital inputs: By switching off the input action "Manual operation local", if this is
parameterized.
– 3RW5 HMI: With the action "LOCAL / REMOTE"
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
● If the input action "Manual operation local" is not parameterized, the mode with the lowest
priority can actively obtain the master control function from the digital inputs or on
connection abort:
– 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.

1.6 Areas of application / load types
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 3RW55 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

Soft Starters
Description
The soft starter can be configured with the STS (Simulation Tool for Soft Starters) software.
The STS suggests suitable soft starters for the respective application based on the entered
motor and load data and application requirements, as well as providing information on the
parameterization.
The Simulation Tool for Soft Starters (STS) can be downloaded from the Internet
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/101494917).
