MOVI‑SWITCH®(SEW‑EURODRIVE)

MOVI‑SWITCH® is a decentralized motor starter / gearmotor with integrated switching & protection for small drives up to 3 kW, designed to eliminate control cabinet components.

Description

1. Core Concept

  • All‑in‑one: Gearmotor + motor starter + protection in one unit.

  • Decentralized: Mounted directly on the motor; no cabinet space needed.

  • Power range: 0.37 kW … 3 kW.

  • Typical use: Conveyors, packaging, logistics, food & beverage.


2. Main Types(MSW series)

MSW‑1E / 1EM(Electronic, 1 direction)

  • Contactless electronic star bridge switch.

  • One rotation direction(CW/CCW via phase sequence).

  • Control: 24 V DC on/off signal.

  • Part example: MSW‑1EM‑B0(24 V DC, 3×400 V).

MSW‑2S(Contactor, 2 directions)

  • With contacts(electromechanical).

  • Reversing starter: CW + CCW(independent of phase sequence).

  • Control: 24 V DC CW/CCW signals.


3. Key Specifications

  • Voltage: 3×380–500 V AC ±10%, 50/60 Hz.

  • Control: 24 V DC logic; M12 connectors for control & power.

  • Protection:

    • Thermal winding monitoring(integrated, auto‑reset).

    • Overload: 150% / 60 s.

  • Enclosure: IP54(standard); IP55/IP65/IP66 optional.

  • Ambient temp: −25 °C … +40 °C(+60 °C derated).

  • Communication: Optional AS‑Interface(integrated or external).


4. Features

  • No cabinet: Reduces wiring, cost, and installation time.

  • Compact: Terminal‑box integration; same footprint as standard gearmotor.

  • Brake control: Integrated brake management(for SEW brake motors).

  • ATEX: Available for Zone 22(dust).


5. Part Number Example

MSW‑1EM‑B0 / AVS1
  • MSW = MOVI‑SWITCH

  • 1E = Electronic, 1 direction

  • M = 24 V DC control

  • B0 = Standard logic

  • AVS1 = Gearmotor variant


6. Comparison

  • vs. MOVIMOT(MM‑D): MOVI‑SWITCH is a starter(on/off/reverse), not a variable‑speed inverter.

  • vs. Traditional starters: No cabinet, less wiring, decentralized.
