BaseUnits BU30-MS7,
BU30-MS8, BU30-MS9 and
BU30-MS10 for fail-safe
motor starters
A simple, wire-saving group shutdown for fail-
safe motor starters.
In contrast to the earlier solution (BU30-MS5
and BU30-MS6), the fail-safe signal only has
to be wired to the first motor starter. The fail-
safe signal is internally routed via the Ba-
seUnits.

Potential distributor modules Potential distributor modules are a space-
saving replacement for standard potential
distributors or potential distributor terminals.
You can set up potential groups much faster,
in a more compact design and with fewer
components than with standard potential
distributor systems.
One application is, for example, the design of
digital input modules with 16 channels and 3-
wire connection. By using the potential dis-
tributor modules, you are reserving the un-
used signal lines of antivalent sensors.
Another application is the supply of potentials

Password provider As an alternative to manual password input
you can connect a password provider to
STEP 7. A password provider offers the fol-
lowing advantages:

• Optimal block protection because the
operators do not know the actual pass-
word.
