The ABB Auxiliary Contact Block for MMS-450 (typically model HKS4-11) is a robust and compact module that attaches easily to the MS450 manual motor starters. It provides additional auxiliary contacts (1 Normally Open + 1 Normally Closed) to signal the operating status of the motor starter (ON/OFF/TRIP) to external control circuits or monitoring devices.
This accessory is used in motor control systems, industrial automation panels, and protection circuits to provide remote status indication, enable interlocking logic, and support automation through programmable logic controllers (PLC).
To extend the control and monitoring capabilities of the MMS-450 motor starter by offering reliable auxiliary switching for use in signaling, interlocking, or automation applications.
