Distributed Starters with

Local Intelligence for Increased Efficiency

DeviceNet Starter Auxiliary Module with DeviceLogix
The DeviceNet Starter Auxiliary (DSA module enables a simple
integration of contactors and sensors into the DeviceNet net-
work. Especially components with lower I/O requirements
(e.g., 4 inputs and 2 outputs) are are suited to be connected.
The DSA has high-capacity outputs that eliminate the need for
interposing relays. This makes the DSA ideal for the use with
motor starters, circuit breakers, contactors, motor protectors,
softstarters, sensors and actuators.
The DeviceLogix component technology incorporated into the
DSA allows it to be programmed with up to 48 function blocks to
execute simple logic – elementary supervision and control tasks
– locally. The local intelligence frees controllers and networks
and increases the efficiency of the systems. This functionality
can be used to solve high-speed applications, controlled shut
down, or other local operations, such as Star-Delta motor starts
without the necessity to equip the starter with a timing module.
The functionality of the DeviceLogix module is easy configured
by using the software platform RSNetWorx™ which is commonly
used when working with the DeviceNet Network. RSNetWorx
allows to work on the screen with drag and drop functions for a
fast and efficient set-up of the modules.
