The ATS480M12Y is part of the Altistart 480 series and supports Slave Modbus communication over a standard RJ45 port. It features 3 relay outputs (R1A, R1B, RIC NO/NC programmable), 2 programmable digital outputs, and 1 analog output. The soft starter is optimized for both delta and direct motor connections, supporting voltages from 208 V to 690 V and frequency between 50–60 Hz (±20%). Its 24 V DC control voltage enables seamless integration with automation panels.
With a net weight of 115 kg and IP00 protection, the device is built for industrial environments. It handles vibration loads up to 15 m/s², supports 8-bit data formats with configurable parity, and maintains performance in temperatures from -25°C to +60°C. Minimum switching current is 100 mA at 12 V DC; maximum is 2 A at 250 V AC / 30 V DC—ideal for low/high power relay functions.
The Schneider ATS480M12Y Soft Starter is widely used in cement plants, steel mills, mining, and water management systems. Its advanced torque control and wide motor compatibility (from 355 kW at 230 V to 900 kW at 690 V) make it a top choice for engineers seeking efficient and rugged motor control solutions. The unit complies with IEC 65A-68 and Pollution Degree 3 standards, ensuring long-term reliability.
