Implementing 3-Switch XOR Ladder Logic with Internal Bit
Implement a 3-SPST switch XOR light circuit in LogixPro or RSLogix 500 using an internal relay bit. Includes truth tables, boolean equations, and verified.
The Siemens 3RW4447-6BC45 is a SIRIUS 3RW44 soft starter for controlled starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors.
The unit operates with a main circuit voltage of 400 to 600 VAC. At 500 V and 40 degC, the standard circuit rating is 432 A and 315 kW.
For inside-delta applications, the same unit supports 748 A and 500 kW at 500 V and 40 degC.
The 3RW4447-6BC45 uses a 230 VAC control supply and screw-type auxiliary and control terminals. Its main current circuit uses busbar connections.
The soft starter includes an integrated bypass contact system, motor overload protection, intrinsic device protection, thermistor motor protection evaluation, adjustable current limitation, and external reset capability.
This catalog number has been phased out by Siemens. The preferred successor is 3RW5547-6HA16.
