Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
If the SAMC 11 is discontinued, on extended lead time, or outside budget, the following ABB modules may serve as functional equivalents depending on your soft starter series and communication requirements:
- SAMC 01 – Basic control module for PSR/PSS series; no fieldbus
- SAMC 21 – Enhanced variant with additional I/O; check pinout compatibility
- SAMC 31 – Advanced communication module; Profibus DP support
- SAMC 41 – Ethernet/IP variant for modern network architectures
- SAMC 51 – PROFINET variant; suitable for Siemens TIA Portal environments
Important: Replacement compatibility depends on the host soft starter firmware version and hardware revision. Always cross-reference ABB’s compatibility matrix or contact Konmask technical support before substituting.

Selection Guide
Use the following decision flow to select the correct module for your application:
- Identify your soft starter model — locate the nameplate on the unit (e.g., PSS 18/30-500L)
- Confirm the required communication protocol — DeviceNet, Modbus RTU, Profibus, PROFINET, or Ethernet/IP
- Check the existing module slot — SAMC modules are slot-specific; confirm physical form factor
- Match firmware version — download the ABB soft starter firmware compatibility table from ABB Library
- Choose original or equivalent — if SAMC 11 is unavailable, refer to the replacement table above
- Contact Konmask — send your soft starter model + current module P/N for a verified recommendation

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can SAMC 11 replace SAMC 01 directly?
A: Not always. SAMC 11 adds fieldbus communication not present in SAMC 01. If your panel wiring includes a DeviceNet or Modbus network, SAMC 11 is the correct upgrade. If not, SAMC 01 may suffice at lower cost.
Q: Is SAMC 11 compatible with non-ABB soft starters?
A: No. SAMC modules are proprietary to ABB soft starters and are not interchangeable with Siemens, Schneider, or other OEM starters.
Q: What if my SAMC 11 is faulty — can it be repaired?
A: ABB does not offer field repair for SAMC modules. Replacement is the standard resolution. Konmask stocks new units for immediate dispatch.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All new units carry a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact support@konmask.com for warranty claims.
Q: Can you supply in bulk quantities?
A: Yes. Contact us for volume pricing on orders of 5+ units.
