Overview
The ABB MS116-16 is a manual motor starter designed for thermal and electromagnetic protection of three-phase and single-phase motors up to 7.5 kW at 400V AC. Part of ABB’s MS116 series (SKU: MS116-16), this compact 45mm-wide unit delivers reliable motor protection with an adjustable thermal setting range of 10.0–16.0 A and a rated instantaneous short-circuit current setting (li) of 16 kA at 400V AC. It includes a built-in disconnect function, temperature compensation, and a trip-free mechanism for enhanced safety. The rotary handle provides clear switch position indication, ensuring easy operation and maintenance. Suitable for AC-3 and AC-3e applications, the MS116-16 is ideal for industrial environments requiring precise motor control and protection. Optional accessories such as auxiliary contacts, signaling contacts, undervoltage releases, and shunt trips are available for expanded functionality. Manufactured in Germany, this starter is part of a range supporting motor protection up to 15 kW (400V) / 32 A in a 45mm width, ensuring compatibility with broader motor control systems.

FENA-21
The FENA 21 DualPort module supports Three protocols Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP, and the PROFInet IO RT network. The Modbus-TCP protocol is simply the Modbus protocol used on top of Ethernet-TCP/IP. Modbus-TCP is an open Industrial Ethernet network which has been specified by the Modbus-IDA User Organization. EtherNet/IP is based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), which is also the framework for both the ControlNet and DeviceNet network protocols. PROFInet IO RT is an open network based on the PI Organization standard.
