Phoenix Contact - CONTACTRON speed starter

Flexible and energy efficient - in the application for your motors


Simple operating concept - efficiency in the most confined space

Frequency inverters are often used in applications where, for example, variable speed is used or where the starting and stopping of the motor must be controlled. In operation, the CONTACTRON speed starter combines the advantages of a compact motor starter with the essential features of a frequency converter for numerous applications:

  • Simple and intuitive operation via display, rotary knob and control knob. No lengthy parameterization is required. 
  • Space saving in the control cabinet due to the compact design from a construction width of 35 mm.  
  • Cost-effective component management thanks to the focus on the essential functions for many applications in drive engineering 


Connecting, setting, starting: why complicate things when motor control can also be simple?

The CONTACTRON speed starter helps you implement control tasks for motors simply and cost-effectively, especially in intralogistics and conveyor technology, in areas such as mechanical engineering, automotive or the food industry.


Safety first - Safe Torque Off function

The integrated safety function enables use in safety-relevant emergency stop applications, completely without additional protective circuitry. Safe Torque Off or STO (Safe Torque Off) ensures that your motor no longer receives energy to turn. As a result, no torque can be activated after shutdown.


Want to maximize the efficiency and safety of your installation?

By immediately disabling the tightening torque of motors, the STO functionality enables quick and safe intervention in emergencies or unforeseen events in your installation. This not only minimizes downtime, but also prevents potential accidents and injuries and creates a safe working environment.

    Phoenix Contact - Increase cybersecurity of machines and installations
    The benefits of network connectivity, such as increased productivity and flexibility, are obvious. But unfortunately, this also creates more and more potential attack targets for all kinds of cyber attacks. Cybercriminals repeatedly manage to exploit new vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access to machines and facilities, for example. That is why governments are introducing new (additional) cyber security legislation. In doing so, they set ambitious goals.
