Eaton EMR-5000-2A1EA0 Motor Relay - Profibus-DP/RS-485
Part Number: EMR-5000-2A1EA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton EMR-5000-2A1EA0 motor relay protects and controls motors in industrial drives. Engineers often struggle to integrate protection logic, communication, and diagnostics within a compact, reliable package. Industry certifications like CE, SIL, and IP ratings are region-specific, so consult the manufacturer’s datasheet for exact coverage and approvals. This device combines motor protection with robust communication via Profibus-DP over RS-485 and a wide voltage range, delivering a scalable solution for modern automation. With its modular I/O, removable terminals, and EMR-4000 base compatibility, it supports efficient commissioning and long-term maintenance while reducing total cost of ownership in motor-control networks.

FAQs
This model employs semi-flush mounting for compact panel integration and removable terminals for quick wiring and maintenance. It is designed to be compatible with the EMR-4000 base family, enabling straightforward field upgrades without extensive rewiring. The removable terminals also simplify diagnostics and spare-part replacement, reducing downtime during motor protection service.
The relay provides 16 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs to monitor motor status, trips, and interlocks, with selectable phase current ratings of 5A and 1A. There are no analog inputs or outputs on this model, aligning with digital control architectures where metering is handled elsewhere, while preserving robust digital control capability.
It supports a wide DC range of 19–300 VDC and AC range of 40–250 VAC, with an operating frequency of 50/60 Hz. This enables global deployment across different motor types and regional electrical standards, simplifying international projects.
Yes. The device includes Profibus-DP communication over D-Sub RS-485, enabling seamless integration with PLCs and SCADA systems for centralized monitoring, coordinated protection, and faster fault isolation in motor protection schemes.
