Allen-Bradley 193-ESM-IG-30A-E3T Electronic Soft Starter Module | E3T Series Platform
Engineering Background: The Allen-Bradley 193-ESM-IG-30A-E3T is a plug-in Electronic Soft Starter Module (ESM) designed for the E3 and E3 Plus Electronic Overload Relay platform. It enables smooth motor starting and stopping by ramping voltage up and down, eliminating mechanical shock and inrush current spikes that degrade motor windings and driven equipment over time.
Product Positioning: Targeted at procurement engineers and OEM panel builders who require a compact, DIN-rail-compatible soft-start solution within the Allen-Bradley E3T ecosystem. The 193-ESM-IG-30A-E3T integrates directly into existing E3 overload relay assemblies without additional wiring, reducing BOM complexity and panel footprint.

- OEM machine panels integrating Allen-Bradley E3 overload protection
- Retrofit upgrades replacing across-the-line starters in MCC buckets
Engineering Advantages
- Plug-in integration: Mounts directly to E3 / E3 Plus relay body — no additional wiring harness required.
- Inrush current reduction: Voltage ramp limits starting current to protect motor windings and upstream fusing.
- Soft stop capability: Controlled deceleration prevents mechanical shock on conveyors and pumps.
- Integrated communications (IG variant): Leverages host E3 relay’s DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP node for diagnostics and parameter access via Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000.
- Compact footprint: Adds soft-start functionality without increasing panel width beyond the E3 relay envelope.
- Reduced mechanical wear: Lower peak torque on start extends coupling, gearbox, and belt service life.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 193-ESM-IG-30A-E3T plugs into the front face of a compatible Allen-Bradley E3 or E3 Plus Electronic Overload Relay. The host relay provides three-phase power monitoring, overload protection, and network communication. The ESM module intercepts the motor power path and applies a controlled voltage ramp on start command. During normal run, the module is bypassed internally for full-voltage efficiency. On stop command, a configurable ramp-down profile is applied before the contactor opens. All soft-start parameters (ramp time, initial voltage, kick-start boost) are accessible via the host relay’s DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP interface using Connected Components Workbench or Studio 5000.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 193-ESM-IG-30A-E3T compatible with the E3 Plus relay?
A: Yes. The ESM module is compatible with both the E3 and E3 Plus Electronic Overload Relay platforms from Allen-Bradley.
Q: What is the difference between the IG and non-IG variants?
A: The “IG” designation indicates Integrated communications — the module communicates via the host E3 relay’s network port (DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP). Non-IG variants operate standalone without network diagnostics.
Q: Can this module be used for soft stop only, without soft start?
A: Yes. Soft start and soft stop functions are independently configurable via the host relay parameters.
Q: What contactor is recommended for use with this module?
A: Allen-Bradley 100-C series IEC contactors sized for 30 A motor load are the standard pairing within the E3T system architecture.
Q: Is a bypass contactor required during normal run?
A: The 193-ESM-IG-30A-E3T includes an internal bypass for full-voltage run mode; an external bypass contactor is not required for standard applications.
