The Innovative M100 Motor Starter Offers Safety & Simplicity

2/28/2025

Determining to invest in new products can be difficult, not just because of the need to make back the initial cost but also because of the setup and training time, the effort to reconfigure systems and the panel space required. The advanced functionality and compact form factor of the M100 from Rockwell Automation® answer these concerns, delivering Direct-on-Line (DOL), safety and reversing capabilities in one unit. The point-on-wave switching technology consistently minimizes arcing and reduces the panel footprint for space savings. This innovation also requires fewer wires and components, saving on panel build labor and costs. In addition to optimizing panel density, the M100 safety models are designed to meet SIL 3 PLe Safe Torque Off ratings, bringing advanced functional safety capabilities to the entire Rockwell Automation motor control portfolio.
