MSW-2S (SEW-EURODRIVE MOVI‑SWITCH®)

MSW-2S is a contact‑type switching element for SEW‑EURODRIVE’s MOVI‑SWITCH® decentralized motor starter system, used for direct‑on‑line (DOL) and reversing motor control.

Description

1. Basic Information

  • Model: MSW-2S

  • Brand: SEW-EURODRIVE

  • Product Type: Contact‑based switching element (reversing starter)

  • System: MOVI‑SWITCH® (decentralized drive, up to 3 kW)

  • Mounting: On motor or near‑motor installation


2. Key Specifications

  • Control: CW/CCW (forward/reverse), independent of phase sequence

  • Signals: Binary inputs (CW, CCW, OK); 2×M12 connectors

  • Option: Integrated AS‑interface available

  • Brake: Integrated brake control + electrical manual release (BGM rectifier)

  • Voltage: 3‑phase 208–480 VAC, 50/60 Hz

  • Power Rating: Up to 3 kW (400 V)

  • Protection: IP65 (enclosure), suitable for harsh industrial environments


3. Main Features

  1. Reversing Control: True forward/reverse operation regardless of incoming phase sequence.

  2. Contact‑Based: Uses electromechanical contacts for reliable switching (contrast with contactless MSW‑1E).

  3. Brake Management: Integrated brake control with manual release function.

  4. Decentralized: Mounts directly on motor, reducing cabinet wiring and space.

  5. Industrial Grade: IP65 protection, robust for factory floor use.


4. Applications

  • Conveyors, packaging machines, material handling

  • Small pumps, fans, and general machinery

  • Decentralized automation (no central control cabinet)

  • Systems requiring reversing motor operation


5. Summary

MSW-2S is SEW’s contact‑type reversing switching element for MOVI‑SWITCH®, providing reliable 3‑phase motor forward/reverse control up to 3 kW. It features IP65 protection, integrated brake control, and M12 connectivity for decentralized installation.
