The ATS480C79Y soft starter features torque control, 3 relay outputs, 2 programmable digital outputs (≤30 V), and 1 analog output. It operates on a wide input range of 208–690 V with Modbus serial communication via an RJ45 port. Designed for integration into modern PLC systems, it uses a 24 V DC control circuit and meets IEC 65A-68 compatibility for open collector outputs.
Built to perform in harsh conditions, the device withstands vibration up to 15 m/s², offers protection level IP00, and supports up to 95% relative humidity without condensation. It weighs 115 kg (net), with a width of 770 mm, ensuring compact panel installation. The minimum switching current is 100 mA at 12 V DC, and the relay supports up to 2 A at 250 V AC or 30 V DC.
Perfect for use in sectors like mining, steel plants, and water infrastructure, the Schneider ATS480C79Y delivers reliable soft starting for motors in both delta and line configurations. It supports normal and heavy-duty ratings across voltages up to 690 V, reducing mechanical stress and energy spikes during startup. The unit supports programmable digital inputs with logic states under 5 V and operates efficiently between -25°C and 60°C.
