1SFC132081M0201
WARNING
When you change from local control to remote
control, the setting applies immediately. If the
remote setting has direct motor start it can start
the motor automatically and can cause personal
injury.
WARNING
After a power loss, software upgrade or cycling of
the PSTX Control supply, the PSTX automatically
is set in remote control. Remote control is the
default control of the PSTX.
INFORMATION
Keypad control has the highest priority and
overrides all othe control methods
This chapter gives a description of how the local control
interface works. Use the local control to start and
stop the motor from the keypad. When local control is
selected, you can only control the Softstarter with the
keypad.

Menu u Motor jog
WARNING
When changing from remote control to local
control, the softstarter stays in present state. That
means, if the the softstarter is running the motor
when switching between the remote control and
local control, the softstarter will continue to run
the motor.
WARNING
Since the keypad has highest priority, when in
local control, neither the digital inputs nor the
fieldbus communication can stop the motor if it
is running. When in local control the only stop
command that can stop the motor is the stop key
on the keypad.

This chapter contains descriptions of all the Softstarter
functions and the parameters for configuration.
7.1 Introduction
7.1.2 Softstarter states
The Softstarter has multiple operation states, in which
different functions are available.
Functions can operate in one or more Softstarter states.
If a function does not operate in all states, this is noted in
the respective function description.
The Softstarter has these states:
7.1.1 Setting parameters
Set the parameters via HMI
With the HMI Keypad, you can set parameters for each
item, or as a selection of default parameters for different
applications.

For navigation sheets, see chapter 6.4.1 Parameters.
Lock/Unlock parameters
Push and hold the Options -key, Menu-key and
i-key simultaneous for 2 seconds in order to lock
/ unlock the keypad.
This prevents accidental changes of parameters.
Parameters are read-only. Still Start / Stop and
R/L is active.
Set the parameters via Fieldbus/PLC
When Fieldbus is used, you can change parameters from
the PLC.
• Individual function
• Stand by
• Pre-start
• Start ramp
• TOR (Top of ramp)
• Stop ramp
Individual function
In Individual function state, the Softstarter runs individual
functions.
Individual functions are:
• Motor heating
• Stand-still brake
• Slow speed forward
• Slow speed reverse
Stand by
In Stand by state the Softstarter runs no functions except
diagnostics.
Pre-start
In Pre-start state the Softstarter runs functions that are
intended to run before the Softstarter goes into Start
ramp state. A pre start function runs during a pre-set
time. Then the Softstarter continues to Start ramp state:
Pre-start functions are:
• Motor heating
• Stand-still brake
• Slow speed forward
• Slow speed reverse
The pre-start functions can also be run as individual
functions.
A different document specification shows more details
about parameter settings changed through Fieldbus/
PLC, see chapter 8 Communication.
74 Functions | Installation and commissioning manual | 1SFC132081M0201
Start ramp
In Start ramp state the Softstarter runs one of the start
functions to soft start a motor by controlling the output
voltage or torque. The Start ramp ends and goes into Top
of ramp state when the output voltage comes at 100%
voltage.
Available start functions are:
• Voltage start ramp
• Torque start ramp
• Full voltage start ramp
Top of ramp
When the motor comes at Top of ramp, (100% nominal
speed) the Softstarter closes the bypass and does not
control the motor. In Top of ramp state the Softstarter
only runs diagnostics.
Stop ramp
In Stop ramp state the Softstarter runs stop functions
to soft stop a motor by controlling the output voltage or
torque. The stop ramp state ends and goes into stand by
state when the output voltage comes at the pre-set Stop
ramp end level.
Available stop functions are:
• No ramp
• Voltage stop ramp
• Torque stop ramp
• Dynamic brake
7.1.3 Motor Current Ie
Set the motor current when you install the Softstarter.
This is the rated nominal current of the motor.
WARNING
All PSTX Softstarters must be set to the rated
current of the motor.
Configuration of the Motor Current Ie with these
parameters:
ParameterDescriptionSetting rangeDefault value
01.01 Motor Current IeSet the nominal current of the motor. For good performance it
is important that it is set to the correct value. For Inside Delta
connection, set this parameter to 58% of the nominal motor
current.

7.2 Voltage ramp
1SFC132081M0201
1SFC132081M0201
When using the Voltage ramp, the voltage increases
linearly from Initial start level to full voltage during start,
and decreases linearly from the Step down level to Stop
end voltage level during stop, see Figure 7.1.
The torque not always follows the voltage curve, because
the torque is also subject to the current. This has the
effect that the torque does not increase or decrease
linearly.
7.2.1 Voltage start ramp
When the Softstarter receives a start signal, the
Softstarter quickly increases the voltage to the Start
ramp initial level. The Softstarter then controls the output
voltage in a start ramp.
U

Start and stop ramp
TimeStart rampStop ramp
U
Top of ramp
When the output voltage comes at Top of ramp, the
Softstarter closes the bypass, see Figure.
Nominal voltage 100 %
Start ramp initial level
To come at Top of ramp these conditions are necessary:
7
• The Start ramp time passed, i.e. 100% output voltage.
• The current is below 1.2 × nominal motor current.
Time
Start ramp time
The Start ramp time is the time it takes to go from Start
ramp initial level to full voltage. The time to come at Top
of ramp can be longer than the set Voltage ramp time,
because this is subject to the current.
Figure 7.2
Voltage start ramp
If the motor starts with a very heavy load, the start ramp
time can be longer than usual.
Example: If the Start ramp time is set to 2 seconds and
the motor starts a heavy load, this can cause the output
current to not go below the set 120% of nominal motor
current when the pre-set start ramp time is reached.

1SFC132081M0201
When the Softstarter receives a stop signal, the
Softstarter decreases the output voltage to the motor in a
quick stop ramp, from full voltage down to set Step down
voltage level. For best performance, set the step down
level to 80%.
When step down level is reached, the Softstarter controls
the output voltage during preset Stop ramp time to End
voltage level and cuts the output voltage to the motor,

7.3 Torque ramp
1SFC132081M0201
When using the Torque ramp, the Softstarter controls
the output voltage so that the output torque follows a
specified optimal torque curve during start and stop
ramp.
For Torque start ramp there are 4 different adjustable
torque curves. See description of torque profile
parameters for examples on when to use which curve.

constant if the set torque curve is the same as the actual

like when using the voltage start ramp, see Figure 7.4 .

The Torque ramp makes the equipment that the motor
drives stop much softer than the Voltage start ramp.
For Torque stop ramp there is one fixed torque
curve. This fixed torque curve is optimized for pump

7.3.1 Torque start ramp
When the Softstarter receives a start signal, the
Softstarter makes a quick ramp to set Start ramp initial
level. Then the Softstarter controls the output voltage so
that the output torque follows a specified optimal torque
curve during pre-set time to 100% nominal torque.
When the output voltage comes at 100% nominal voltage
(Top of ramp), the Softstarter closes the bypass.
To come at Top of ramp these conditions need to be met:
• The output voltage comes at 100% nominal voltage.
• The current is below 1.2 × nominal motor current.
The time between the start signal and when nominal
torque is reached is the start ramp time.
The start ramp time can be longer if the motor starts with
a very heavy load.
Example: If the Start ramp time is set to 2 seconds
and the motor starts with a heavy load. This can cause
that the output current does not go below set 120% of
nominal motor current when the pre-set start ramp time is
reached.

The Stand-still brake function brakes the motor. Use this
during pre-start to make sure that the motor does not run
before you start the Start ramp. You can also control the
Stand-still brake from a digital I/O or a Fieldbus.
WARNING
If the Softstarter is connected inside-delta,
use of the Stand-still brake can cause
damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Because this function makes the motor
warm, we recommend to use a PTC or
PT100 element to monitor the temperature.
In some conditions, the built-in EOL is not
accurate for this feature.

7.7 Current limit
1SFC132081M0201
Current limit sets a maximum value of the starting current
output to the motor. The time to come at full voltage can
be longer than the set Start ramp Time when Current limit
is enabled.
There are 3 different Current limit functions:
• Normal current limit
• Dual current limit
• Ramp current limit
WARNING
If the load is very heavy, current limit can prevent
the current to decrease below the set current
level and cause overheating.
Normal current limit
When using Normal current limit and the set current
limit is reached, the output voltage stays stable until the
current level falls below the set current limit. Then the
start ramp continues.
Dual current limit
Dual current level has 2 current limit levels. When the
Current limit is reached, the output voltage stay constant
until the set time expires or the current decreases. If the
current decreases, the Softstarter continues the voltage
ramp. If the second current limit time expires and the
current has not decreased, the Softstarter increases the
current to the Dual current limit. See Figure 7.6 . When
the current comes at the Dual current limit the Softstarter
behaves as for normal Current limit.
Dual current limit can be used as a back-up function to
prevent overheating.
Ramp current limit
When the current comes at the first current limit level the
output voltage restricts the current from increasing at a
maximum linearly curve up to the second current limit.
The set time determines the time it takes for the current
limit to come at the second current level.
When the current comes at the second current limit, the
Softstarter behaves as for the normal current limit.
You can use Ramp current limit as a back-up function to
prevent overheating.

7.9 Slow speed
Slow speed is an individual function, or a pre-start
function to run the motor with low voltage output. You
can use this feature for example to position a traverse or
mill band.
Operate this function through the HMI, I/O or Fieldbus.
Slow speed has 3 pre-specified speeds:
• Fast jog
• Jog
• Creep
The motor strength can be adjusted with separate
parameters. Select a suitable value for the application.
WARNING
The torque when using Slow speed is maximum
⅓ of the full motor torque. This is achieved when
using Fast jog and the strength parameter set to
100%.Too high value of the motor strength could
cause oscillations and if set to too low value, the
motor may not start.
WARNING
Because Slow speed function warms up the
motor we recommend to use a PTC or PT100
element for temperature monitoring.
In some conditions, the built-in EOL is not
accurate for this feature.
7
You can run the motor in the forward and reverse
direction, with different slow speed speeds in each
direction. When the Softstarter receives a Slow speed
signal, the motor accelerates up to a constant speed
that is slower than the nominal speed, for as long as the
slow speed signal remains active. When the Slow speed

Do not use slow speed for more than 2
minutes, as this will cause the motor to heat up

motor before actual start without rotation to the motor.
Or use it as an individual function operated from a digital

The Softstarter supplies a current to the motor, without
coming at the torque level that starts the motor.
WARNING

7.11 Motor braking
Stand still brake
Stand still brake prevents a motor from spinning when
in standstill condition. It can be activated through IO,
fieldbus or as a pre-start function.
Dynamic brake
Dynamic brake is an intelligent variant of DC brake
starting with a period of dynamic braking followed by a
switch to DC brake. During the dynamic brake the firing
angle and thyristor firing sequence are continuously
recalculated depending on operating conditions. During
DC brake these are pre-determined. The reason for
switching to DC brake is because it is effective at
low speed but ineffective at high speed. During both
dynamic- and DC-brake the kinetic energy of the motor is
converted to heat that is dissipated in the rotor.
1. Set parameter 2.2 (Stop mode) to Dynamic brake.
2. Set parameter 7.2 (Motor brake time) to be equal to the
desired stop time.
3. Set parameter 7.3 (Dynamic brake strength) to
40%.
4. Set parameter 7.4 (DC brake strength) to 40%.
5. Perform the first test and do two measurements:
5.1 Time it takes for the motor to decelerate
from full speed to the value specified by
parameter 7.5 (DC brake switch speed threshold,
default value is 28%).
5.2 Time it takes for the motor to decelerate
from full speed to near zero speed.
6. Check if motor deceleration time is longer or shorter
than desired.
Motor braking with Softstarter is not an exact science.
Trial and error testing is required to find the optimal
parameter values.
WARNING
Braking exerts a lot of stress on the thyristors so
from a thermal perspective a brake shortly after a
start can be counted as two consecutive starts.
If the brake strength is set to a too large value
the internal thyristor overload fault or electronic
overload protection can trip.
INFORMATION
Using a Softstarter to brake the motor will cause
noise and vibrations just like any other braking
method. If a fast stop time is required the brake
strength will have to be set to a large value which
will result in increased noise and vibration.
INFORMATION
Parameter 07.03 (Dynamic brake strength) and
07.04 (DC brake strength) are the ones that
affect the motor deceleration time. Parameter
07.02 (Motor brake time) only works as a
timeout. The goal should be to choose the lowest
possible braking strength and still fulfill the user’s
deceleration time requirements.
INFORMATION
To use Dynamic brake set parameter 02.02 (Stop
mode) to Dynamic brake.
INFORMATION
An external PTC or PT100 sensor to monitor the
motor temperature is recommended.
7.11.2.1 How to use
Parameter 7.3 (Dynamic brake strength) and 7.4
(DC brake strength) are the ones that affect the
motor deceleration time. Parameter 7.2 (Motor
brake time) only works as a timeout. The goal should
be to choose the lowest possible braking strength and
still fulfill the user’s deceleration time requirements.
6.1 If deceleration time is longer than desired,
increase dynamic brake strength and DC brake
strength by 10% and try again. Continue like this
until the actual stop time is equal to the desired
stop time.
6.2 If deceleration time is shorter than desired,
decrease dynamic brake strength and DC brake
strength by 10% and try again. Continue like this
until the actual stop time is equal to the desired
stop time.
7. Optional configuration: It can be heard when the DC
brake is activated, the motor will sound different then. If
DC brake is activated too soon (before the motor speed
is below the value specified by parameter 7.5), increase
parameter 7.6 (DC brake switch delay time) by 5-10s and
try again.
8. Optional configuration: If it takes too long time for the
motor to decelerate when DC brake is active, increase the
motor brake time by 10s and increase only parameter 7.4
(DC brake strength) by 10% and try again.
9. Optional configuration: One of the digital inputs In0, In1
or In2 can be configured as “Cancel brake”. When a logic
high (flank) is detected, the motor brake will be cancelled.
7.11.2.2 How long time does it take to stop the
motor?
Depends on the moment of inertia of the motor and load.
Field test example: Motor: 61A, 400V, 50Hz; Load: Fan,
large flywheel. With stop mode equal to no ramp, the
deceleration time was 1min.
With stop mode equal to dynamic brake and dynamic
brake strength and DC brake strength equal to 40%, the
deceleration time was 30s.
With dynamic brake strength and DC brake strength equal
to 50%, the deceleration time was 20s.

7.13 Automatic restart
The Softstarter automatically starts the motor again after
a fault occurred.
INFORMATION
Automatic restart only works for phase loss, bad
network and low supply voltage..
The primary requirement is that if a fault or protection was
asserted, the Softstarter automatically starts the motor
again in order to ensure an uninterrupted process.
The event only resets after the Auto-reset delay time
passed. If Auto-restart is enabled, the Softstarter does
not start the fault relay directly, because the fault relay
can sometimes be connected to a breaker upstream.
The Softstarter makes multiple attempts to start again,
with a fixed time interval between each, and ignores the
start digital input signal during this time.
If the fault still remains after a restart, this is a failed
attempt to start again.
The fault relay is only on after the number of failed
restarts is higher than the given number.
Upon a stop signal the auto-restart sequence is aborted

and the fault relay is off.
The programmable options are:
• None - No function on the digital input.
• Reset - Fault/protection reset.
• Enable - When In0=0, the Softstarter stops
immediately. When In0=1, the Softstarter is in normal
operation. Overrides all other inputs, except LOCAL
CONTROL.
• Slow speed forward - While the digital input is high,
the motor will slowly move forward.
• Slow speed reverse - While the digital input is high,
the motor will slowly move in the reverse direction.
• Motor heating - While the digital input is high, the
motor heating is active.
• Stand still brake - While the digital input is high, the
stand still brake is active.
• Start reverse - While the digital input is high, the
Softstarter will start in the reverse direction, using
external reversing contactors.
• User defined protection - When activated (the
protection can be programmed to be active low or
high) the User defined protection will be activated.
• Emergency mode - Active high, Emergency mode
is activated when digital input is high. - Active low,
Emergency mode is activated when digital input is low.
• Fieldbus disable control - When the digital input is set
high, the motor cannot be controlled from the fieldbus.
Instead the start/stop digital input must be used, or
the HMI.

7.14.4 Analog output
The Softstarter has 1 analog output for an analog meter,
or the PLC.
Configuration of the parameter analog output type, AO
type, to show:
• Motor current, A
• Mains voltage, V
• Active power, kW
• Active power, HP
• Reactive power, kVar
• Apparent power, kVA
• Active energy, kWh
• Reactive energy, kVArh
• cos phi
• Motor temperature, %
• Thyristor temperature, %
• Motor voltage, %
• Mains frequency, Hz
• PT100 temperature, centigrade
• PTC resistance, Ohm
The voltage or current output can be set by a
configuration parameter, AO reference in the Softstarter.
The selection of voltage or current must be set to adapt
to the analog meter or the PLC.
The settings are:
• 0-10 voltage output, V
• 0-10 current output, mA
• 0-20 current output, mA
• 4-20 current output, mA
AO is the reference to the output voltage in 0-100% of
the set parameter AO max and AO min.
Internal Analog output has these parameters:
Example:
• AO type is set to Motor current.
• AO reference is set to 0-10 V
• AO min to 0, and AO max to 3000.
This means that when the motor current is:
• 3000 A, the output voltage is 10 V.
• 0 A, the output voltage is 0 V.
• 1500 A, the output voltage is 5 V.

7.14.5 Temperature sensor
Temperature inputs
There is 1 temperature input. The user can set 3 different
types of temperature sensors: See chapter Temperature
sensors 7.17.14
• PTC
• PT100
• Bi-metal switch
These can be connected to different protections.
A protection can come on if a particular temperature
occurs.
PTC
The PTC temperature input can measure a motor
temperature in the range of -25° to 250°. The PTC
measurement obeys the standard for a Mark-A detector.
Refer to IEC60947-8.
The unit can sense if a sensor is connected to the
Softstarter. You can also enable the temperature
measurement and manually reset, automatic reset or get
indication only.
7
PT100
The Softstarter has a 3-wire PT100 input that can be
combined and share terminals with the PTC input.
The trip temperature is set by the user. The maximum trip
temperature is 250° and lowest is -25°.
The PT100 measurement must have an accuracy of +/-3°
with 3 wires measuring if the 3 connecting cables have
the same resistance.
If a short circuit is detected then the error is reported
to the user. The Softstarter can sense if a sensor is
connected to the Softstarter.
You can enable the temperature measurement. You can
do a manual reset, automatic reset or to indications only.
Bi-metal switch
This function will be implemented in next release.
You can combine temperature input with bi-metal
switches for detecting overtemperature. These
temperature sensors behave like a switch that opens or
close at the trip temperature. Each type (NO – normally
open or NC – normally closed) is supported. The
maximum current through the bi-metal switches is 100
mA.
96 Functions | Installation and commissioning manual | 1SFC132081M0201
7.15 Fieldbus
PSTX has 1 Anybus port, 1 Fieldbus plug adaptor port
(FBPA), and 1 modbus RTU port. You can use only 1
bus at a time: the user cannot connect the Softstarter to
multiple Fieldbuses.
The port used for modbus RTU is a multifunction port
that you can use to connect an Extension IO module. If
an Extension IO module is necesssary you cannot use
the port for modbus RTU. Use an Anybus modbus RTU
module instead.
In the IP-based Fieldbuses, such as modbus TCP, the
user must set IP address, gateway, subnet mask and
DHCP client.
Fieldbus type
When you use Fieldbus communication, select the
present type of Fieldbus:
• Modbus-TCP
• Modbus-RTU
• DeviceNet
• Profibus
• EtherNet/IP
• Profinet
Fieldbus control
If you use the Softstarter with Fieldbus communication,
set the Fieldbus interface to ON before it can take action
Fieldbus address
If you use the Softstarter with Fieldbus communication,
set a Fieldbus address for the Softstarter. Select a
suitable and unoccupied number as the address.
WARNING
The motor can start unexpectedly if there is a
start signal present during 1 of the actions below.
• Changing from 1 type of control to another (Fieldbus
control / hardwire control).
• Remember that when Fieldbus auto disable is active,
this change can occur automatically.
• Re-programming of the programmable inputs.
• Reset all Settings (sets programmable input to
Enable).
Fieldbus failure operation
See chapter 7.17.21 Fieldbus failure protection.

INFORMATION
If there is no message passed between the
PSTX Softstarter and the Anybus, Fieldbus
plug, Modbus RTU master for more than
100ms, the PSTX Softstarter will trip on fieldbus
communication failure protection (P1E00) and
with the default configuration, the motor will be
stopped.
INFORMATION
If the fieldbus communication system is setup in
such a way that commands/requests are not
continuously passed between the PLC and
Softstarter, this protection function should be
disabled. Set parameter 19.4 (Fieldbus failure op)
to “Off”.
1SFC132081M0201 | Installation and commissioning manual | Functions 97
Fieldbus Inputs/Outputs
Functions set in the Softstarter as Fieldbus digital inputs
(DI) are in fact the digital inputs to the PLC i.e. the data
flow from the Softstarter through the network to the PLC.
Fieldbus digital outputs (DO) are not configurable. The
output (DO) gives a description of data flow from the
network to the Softstarter i.e. appears as an input, from
the Softstarter point of view.

7.16 Event groups
Event groups consists of supervision functions divided in
separate lists in the HMI.
Supervision functions are functions to indicate when an
event occurs to the motor.
There are 3 different types of supervision functions:
• Faults, default Eventgroup 0 (0000001)
• Warnings, default Eventgroup 2 (0000100)
• Protections, default Eventgroup 1 (0000010)
The supervision functions generate events based on
different conditions in the motor and in the Softstarter
itself. Each different event can be assigned to 1 or more
Event groups. An Event group can be mapped to a relay
output or/and a Fieldbus signal.
For each supervision function there is a parameter for
assigning the related event to 1 or more Event groups.
In PSTX there are 7 Event groups, numbered from 0 to 6.
All event functions are set as default to 1 Event group.
There are 7 event groups that you can use in any way.
Event groups 4-6 are completely unassigned by default
and are convenient to use for custom applications. The
7
other groups have (or may have in the future) events
assigned to them by default.
Example:
In this example the user collects all internal faults in the
event group 6 and connects the event group to relay
output K6. The faults are connected to event group 0 by
default (indicated with value 0000001). The new value
(1000001) assigns the fault to both event group 0 and
event group 6.
