ECOFAST motor starters form part of the ECOFAST system (Energy and Communication Field Installation System). This system solution for cabinet-free automation sets standards in equipping machines and plants with automation, switchgear and drive technology. The central idea of this system is the comprehensive distribution and modularization of configurations and detailed diagnostics facilities down to the component level.

ECOFAST motor starters are distributed motor starters and can be used for switching and protecting AC loads (400 V AC). ECOFAST motor starters are an ideal solution for individual drives distributed over a large area. The starters are designed in a high degree of protection (IP65/67) and can either be installed close to the motor or plugged onto the motor depending on the application. They are also available as reversing or soft starters and incorporate a PROFIBUS DP fieldbus interface or AS-Interface. The two/four integrated digital inputs can pick up sensor signals on site.
