EMS Multifaceted Performance

with only 30 mm
Eaton Moeller series products have always embodied
quality and reliability in the machine building industry. As many
know, this applies in particular to our PKZ motor-protective
circuit-breakers and DIL contactors, which continue to set
new standards to this day. Our new EMS electronic motor
starters not only continue with this tradition, but are also a
leap into fully electronic motor starters, and therefore a leap
into the future.
Defining the future.
Trendsetting is simply another
word for action. This is why it
was only natural for renowned
Eaton products such as our DIL
contactors and PKZ motorprotective circuit-breakers to be
further developed and
expanded on.
The result is the new series of
PKE motor protection systems
with electronic wide-range
overload protection for state-ofthe-art systems intended to
increase machine availability
above all.

Motor start from the tiniest

space.
With its EMS electronic motor
starter, Eaton is setting a new
standard by offering a
multifunctional motor protection
and control relay with a frame
width of 30 mm. This electronic
motor starter is intended for
applications in which motors
with a performance range from
0.06 kW to 3 kW need to be
reliably driven and protected
while using up as little space as
possible. Accordingly, four
functions have been
incorporated into this single
switching device:

DOL starter
Reversing starter
Motor protection as per IEC
60947

Safety-oriented drive
stopping in accordance with
category 3 (EN 13849)

This electronic motor starter is

mainly intended for applications
in which motors have to be
controlled and protected in the
following systems:

Logistics systems
Material handling systems,
small elevators
Packaging machines
Production machines
Machine tools

The electronic motor starters

motor protection is
implemented using two
different tripping classes.
For motor currents greater than
4 A, a Class 10 A time-current
curve is used for motor
protection. Meanwhile, for
motor currents of up to 4A,

a slower Class 10 time-current

curve is used for motor
protection. This curve prevents
the motor protection
mechanism from tripping
prematurely in the event of
frequent start/stop operations
or high inrush currents.

Eaton - The Right Drive for your

Technology.
The machine and system building industries know that there's a
one-stop provider that they can always count on: Eaton. Whether your
needs are related to power management, automation, signaling, or
solutions designed to cover every aspect of a motor's operation, Eaton
has you covered. Our variable frequency drives, soft starters, motor
starters, and hydraulic components are designed to meet all the needs
of your drives. And on top of all this, integrating our EMS electronic
motor starters into a SmartWire-DT system will save you precious time
during planning, wiring, and commissioning.

Lean Solution powered by

SmartWire-DT
The world of mechanical
engineering needs technologies that
will streamline its processes. That's
where SmartWire-DT comes in: By
shifting the I/O layer to its modules,
SmartWire-DT allows for simple and
straightforward structures that
can be configured quickly while
eliminating the I/O layer on PLCs.
The data transparency achieved
this way makes diagnostics and
maintenance simpler, cutting the
time and resources spent on wiring,
testing, and commissioning by up to
85%.

EMS Simpler with SmartWire-DT

With its EMS units, Eaton is offering the first ever multifunctional motor starter that is integrated into its SmartWire-DT
system. This not only makes it possible to benefit from the
advantages that EMS motor starters offer in comparison to
conventional motor starters, e.g., a longer lifespan, taking up
less space, and integrated motor protection, but also from the
advantages provided by Eaton's Lean Connectivity system.

The electronic motor starters
feature an integrated reversing

need for additional switching
devices.
This lean solution with
SmartWire-DT not only
reduces the time and
resources spent on wiring,
testing, and commissioning
dramatically, but also makes it
possible to eliminate the need
for expensive components,
such as the PLC's I/O layer.
Ideally, the PLC and
visualization interface would
be combined into a single
HMI/PLC device with an
on-board SmartWire-DT
master.

Lean Solution with SmartWire-DT

HMI/PLC

The green SmartWire-DT cable takes care of

both the control wiring and power supply wiring
for EMS units. This reduces the time and
resources spent on wiring by up to 85% in
comparison to conventional switchgear
assemblies, helping keep installation costs
down. In fact, the only things left to connect
afterwards are the main conductors and the
SmartWire-DT connector. This reduction in
complexity prevents wiring mistakes and renders
complex troubleshooting unnecessary. In
addition, SmartWire-DT can be used to change
an EMS unit's operating direction, as well as to
evaluate any faults.

Networking via
SmartWire-DT
By integrating EMS motor
starters into the SmartWire-DT
system, all previously required
control wiring is eliminated.
Moreover, this makes it possible
to drive motors and power EMS
units through a distributed
system. All of this saves
precious time during planning,
wiring, and commissioning.

EMS motor starters make it possible to implement applications
with safety-oriented stopping in accordance with cat. 3 / SIL 3 and
PLe much faster and easier than conventional motor starters.

In addition, wiring is less complex both at the main circuit and

actuating circuit levels. In total, installation efforts are reduced by
up to 60%, while the number of required hardware components is
reduced by 70%.

Hybrid switching ensures a longer life

Compact, reliable, safe

A small electronic motor starter
frame width of only 30 mm
translates into important space
savings inside control cabinets.
This advantage is particularly
important in the case of
machines with numerous
reversing starters and strict
safety requirements (emergency
stop), since using these motor
starters also makes it possible
to eliminate the need for multiple
conventional switching devices.

In addition to the space that is

freed up, the devices
staggered terminals reduce
wiring efforts even further. This
makes it possible to put
together motor starter groups
much faster, and the reduction
in wiring efforts makes it
possible to reduce installation
times by 60%.

The electronic motor starters integrated hybrid switching

increases its life significantly in comparison to conventional
switching devices. The semi-conductor connected in parallel to
the main contacts handles the current flow during switch-on and
switch-off operations, ensuring that the starter will have a longer
contact life of 30 million switching operations.
