Through EXCRDU2, it is possible to send motor start and stop commands, as well as monitor the status

Through EXCRDU2, it is possible to send motor start and stop commands, as well as monitor the status and main electrical measurements of individual devices.

When used for variable speed drive control, it also allows motor speed adjustment, direction reversal, and setpoint configuration in PID control mode, a function dedicated to maintaining a constant physical parameter within the system.

EXCRDU2 remote display unit

The connection between the EXCRDU2 remote display unit and the motor starters is made via the RS-485 port (Modbus-RTU protocol), which can reach a maximum distance of 600m between the remote display unit and the farthest starter. The communication parameters can be freely configured directly via the integrated keyboard.

EXCRDU2 is powered by an auxiliary voltage of 100-240VAC 50/60Hz or 110-250VDC and is supplied as standard with a gasket ensuring IP65 front protection degree. Furthermore, it is cETLus certified for the North American market.
