Section 1 General Information

Introduction The Baldor digital three phase multipurpose soft–starter provides reduced voltage, three

phase motor starting and control over the four periods of motor operation. First, at “Start–up” (soft–start), the motor starting voltage increases from an initial preset level to full motor voltage to provide smooth motor acceleration to full speed. Second, the “Dwell” period begins when maximum motor voltage is achieved. This dwell period allows time for the motor and load to stabilize. The third period is called “Motor run” (sometimes bypass is used during this portion of the cycle). The last period is “Stop” the motor can be stopped gradually by reducing the torque (useful in pump applications).

Soft–start and soft–stop control provide an effective means to start and stop material handling equipment and pumping equipment to minimize spillage and water hammer problems. Selectable preset parameters for specific application allows simple programming.

Several product features make this digital soft–start control easy to use:

S Selectable preset parameter settings for pumps, high inertia loads, conveyors

and compressors.

S Auto features simplify adjustments for optimum starting. S Energy savings through real time power factor monitoring. S Smooth starts and stops for impact free machine operation. S Familiar interface, 32 character LCD Display and Keypad. S Simple parameter access through 4 level programming. S Quick exit from programming by using the “#” (Exit) button. S Operating Current, Voltage and Power Factor displays. S Fault indication and Trip Log. S Programmable inputs and outputs.

Limited Warranty

For a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase, BALDOR will repair or replace without charge controls and accessories which our examination proves to be defective in material or workmanship. This warranty is valid if the unit has not been tampered with by unauthorized persons, misused, abused, or improperly installed and has been used in accordance with the instructions and/or ratings supplied. This warranty is in lieu of any other warranty or guarantee expressed or implied. BALDOR shall not be held responsible for any expense (including installation and removal), inconvenience, or consequential damage, including injury to any person or property caused by items of our manufacture or sale. (Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply.) In any event, BALDOR’s total liability, under all circumstances, shall not exceed the full purchase price of the control.

General Information 1-1MN850

Safety Notice This equipment contains voltages that may be as high as 600 volts! Electrical shock can

cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are driven by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not touch any circuit board, power device or electrical connection before you

first ensure that power has been disconnected and there is no high voltage present from this equipment or other equipment to which it is connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Be sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation of this equipment.

This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts that are controlled by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC

power before you ensure that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

Caution: Install MOV protection for the control. See Appendix D for information. Caution: Do not remove keypad cable with power applied to unit. Disconnecting the keypad

cable with power applied will damage the control.

Caution: Shearpin trip feature is not equivalent to short circuit overcurrent protection

required by NEC. Instantaneous overcurrent protection must be provided by circuit interrupting device (fuse or breaker).

Caution: Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than the RMS

symmetrical short circuit amperes listed here at rated voltage (with fuses specified in Section 2). Rated Amperes RMS Symmetrical Amperes 9–59 5,000 72–242 10,000 300–500 18,000 600–750 30,000 900–1200 42,000

Caution: Do not “Megger” test the motor while it is connected to the soft–start control.

Failure to disconnect motor will result in extensive damage to the control. The control is tested at the factory for high voltage / leakage resistance as part of Underwriter Laboratory requirements. Do not megger any part of the control.

Caution: Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to motor terminals. If power

factor correction capacitors are necessary, contact Baldor.

Caution: If a brake motor is used, the initial starting voltage may not be sufficient to release

the brake. It may be necessary to provide separate power for the brake release coil.

Caution: Do not connect AC incoming line power to the Motor terminals T1, T2 and T3.

Connecting AC power to these terminals may result in damage to the control.

Section 2 Installation

Receiving, Inspection and Storage

When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately.

1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your control.

2. Remove the control from the carton. Inspect for shipping damage and report any damage immediately to your commercial carrier.

3. Verify that the part number of the control you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase order.

4. If the control is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a location that is clean, dry and free from corrosives and contaminants. Storage temperature range is –25°C to 55°C.

Be sure to read an become familiar with the safety notices in Section 1 of this manual. Failure to observe the product safety notices can result in injury or equipment damage. If you have questions, please contact your Baldor distributor. Do not proceed unless you understand the installation and operation requirements and safety notices.

Physical Location The location of the soft–start control is important. It should be installed in an area that is

protected from direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, and vibration. Exposure to these elements can reduce the operating life and degrade performance of the control.

Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation:

1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the control should be mounted vertically on a flat, smooth, non-flammable vertical surface. Heat dissipation of 3.3 watts per running FLA of the motor must be provided. All factory supplied enclosures provided adequate heat dissipation with ambient temperatures to 40°C.

2. If the control is mounted in an enclosure, sufficient air flow must be provided (see Table 2-1). The fan or blower must be rated for at least 0.8 cubic feet of 30°C air per minute for each ampere of motor FLA rating.

3. Keep high voltage and low voltage wiring separated. If the conduits must cross, be sure that they cross at 90° angles only.

4. Motor overload protection is required for motor branch circuits that do not have an overload protection device.

5. Front access must be provided to allow the control cover to be opened or removed for service and to allow viewing of the Keypad Display (1 inch (25mm) minimum).

6. Altitude derating. Up to 3300 feet (1000 meters), no derating required. Above 3300 feet, derate peak output current by 1% for each 330 feet above 3300 feet. 6600 feet (2000 meters) maximum.

7. Temperature derating. Up to 40°C, no derating required. Above 40°C, derate full load current by 2% per °C above 40°C. Maximum ambient is 60°C (at 40% derate).

8. Short circuit current and overcurrent devices are required for soft–start controls that do not have a circuit breaker or fusible disconnect switch.

9. Dust–proof NEMA 12, NEMA 4 non–ventilated enclosure will require an end of ramp Bypass contactor. This requires additional hardware. Refer to Figure 2-6 for details.

Motor Overload and Thermal Protection

NEC and local codes may require thermal motor overload protection devices be installed rather than rely only on internal protection devices. Devices such as bi–metallic overload relays may require special Soft–Start settings (such as during low voltage starting to prevent heating). Use of electronic overload relays with this control is not recommended because of the distorted current waveform. A motor with built in thermal cutoff switches (TSTAT’s) is recommended.

NEMA 12/4 Installation When a NEMA12, NEMA4, NEMA4x OR IP65 enclosure is used, a separate Top of Ramp

Bypass (or shunt) contactor must be connected in parallel with the soft–start control. This will allow a solid connection of the motor to the AC power lines and eliminate the heating effect caused by the SCR’s. At the completion of the start ramp (when full start voltage is obtained) a Bypass contactor is closed. This contactor is controlled by the “Top of Ramp” relay K2. This ensures that bypass will only occur when motor voltage equals the AC line voltage.

Section 3 Operation

Overview The start–up procedure will help get your system up and running quickly and will allow

motor and control operation to be verified. This procedure assumes that the Control and Motor are correctly installed (see Section 2 for procedures) and that you have a basic understanding of the keypad programming & operation procedures.

1. Read the Safety Notice and Precautions in section 1 of this manual.

2. Mount the control.

3. Be sure the cover is on and the keypad is plugged in but all power is OFF.

4. Connect Three Phase AC power (L1, L2, L3).

5. Connect 115VAC 1 phase power (X1, X2). Note: Factory assembled combination and non–combination controllers and

controllers in ventilated NEMA 12 enclosures have an internal transformer that provides 115VAC power to X1 and X2 terminals (pre–wired).

6. Connect the motor.

Pre–Start Checklist Check of electrical items.

CAUTION: After completing the installation but before you apply power, be

sure to check the following items.

1. Verify the Three Phase AC line voltage at source matches control rating.

2. Verify the X1, X2 Control Voltage at source is correct. An external fuse is required and must be sized as described in Table 2-3.

3. Verify the Control Voltage Selector Switch is correctly set.

4. Inspect all connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness as well as compliance to codes.

5. Verify control and motor are grounded to each other and the control is connected to earth ground.

6. Check all signal wiring for accuracy.

7. Be certain all brake coils, contactors and relay coils have noise suppression. This should be an R-C filter for AC coils and reverse polarity diodes for DC coils. MOV type transient suppression is not adequate.

Check of Motors and Couplings

1. Verify freedom of motion of motor shaft.

2. Verify that the motor coupling is tight without backlash.

3. Verify the holding brakes if any, are properly adjusted to fully release and set to the desired torque value.

Operation 3-1MN850

Starting Selectable in Basic Menu as either Keypad or Remote starting method. Voltage Pedestal Initial voltage applied to motor after the 3 cycle power–up ramp.

Programmed as parameter 11 or as Start Pedestal in Basic Menu.

Kick Pedestal For traction or “frozen” loads, this boost pulse of higher voltage helps the load to start

moving. Kick Start is in the Advanced menu. Kick Pedestal is parameter 13 or as Kick Pedestal in Advanced menu.

Kick Time Number of cycles duration the kick pedestal voltage is applied. Programmed as parameter

14 or as Kick Time in Advanced menu.

Start Time Number of seconds after the 3 cycle power–up to full motor voltage. Programmed as

parameter 12 or as Start Time in Basic Menu.

Dwell Time Number of seconds that full voltage is applied to the motor before optimizing begins (if

optimizing is selected). Programmed as parameter 15 or as Dwell Time in Advanced menu.

Optimizing Process of detecting underload condition and reducing the RMS voltage to the motor. This

eliminates overflux condition of the motor windings to reduce saturation and results in substantial power savings (up to 2% efficiency increase). Optimizing is selected by the keypad or as parameter 7 or as Protection parameter in Basic Menu.

Optimizing Rate A numerical value that represents the rate at which the motor voltage is reduced during

optimizing. When this number is large, improves efficiency on stable loads. A lower number for unstable loads will reduce speed variations. Programmed as parameter P19.

Contactor Delay A delay is required when an input contactor is energized by the soft–start “Run” relay. This

delay allows bouncing contactor armature to settle during the “Closed” position. Programmed as parameter 71 or as Contactor Delay in Advanced menu.

3 Cycle Power–up This non adjustable time is to allow voltage build up from zero to the initial pedestal. It is

intended to reduce current inrush and allows for shorted SCR detection. This delay may be turned off to start a motor even with one shorted SCR or to use high inertia loads on class C or D motors. Programmed as the “Auto 3MC” parameter in Auto Features menu.

Safety Notice Be sure to read and understand all notices, warning and caution statements in Section 1

of this manual. If you have any questions about the safe operation of this equipment, please contact your Baldor representative before you proceed.

Preliminary Checks In the event of trouble, disconnect all input power to the control and perform these

preliminary checks.

Power Off Checks

1. Check all connections for tightness and signs of overheating.

2. Check for cracked or damaged insulators and terminal blocks.

3. Ensure the correct setting of the overload relay.

4. Check the 115VAC input power.

5. If one or more SCR’s should be replaced, contact Baldor.

Table 5-1 Fault Trip Messages

This menu is used to view the last five fault trip conditions. Additional information about fault trips may be found in the troubleshooting section of this manual.

Note: The control is shipped with five fault messages in the log (P73–P77). The last

message is “External Trip”. There is no software method to clear the fault log.

Block Title Parameter Description

Trips 1 16 External Trip Use the “⇑” and “⇓” keys to scroll through the fault trip list. In this example,

1 = the most recent trip (5 would indicate oldest). Parameters P73 to P77. 16 = the code for the fault trip. External Trip = the text message for the fault trip.

16 error conditions that cause a fault trip to occur are: (E1 – E16)

1 – Phase loss. This is a start–up protection fault that indicates single phase power at the

AC input. This error can also indicate phase unbalance or undervoltage (low voltage).

2 – Too Hot. Heat sink temperature exceeded limit. Possible causes are overload, frequent

starting, poor ventilation, excessive dirty on heat sink, high ambient temperature or high

humidity. 3 – SCR Signal. Excessive electrical noise on input power lines. 4 – SCR Firing. SCR’s are not responding to firing commands. May be a result of a failed

control board, voltage spikes on power lines, noise, loose connections or SCR failure. 5 – SCR Signal. Excessive electrical noise on input power lines. 6 – SCR Signal. Excessive electrical noise on input power lines. 7 – SCR Sensing. Loss of the sensing signal from an SCR. May be a result of a failed SCR,

loss of phase current when running, undervoltage or phase unbalance when running. 8 – SCR Sensing. Loss of the sensing signal from an SCR. May be a result of a failed SCR,

loss of phase current when running, undervoltage or phase unbalance when running. 9 – SCR Sensing. Loss of the sensing signal from an SCR. May be a result of a failed SCR,

loss of phase current when running, undervoltage or phase unbalance when running. 10 – SCR Shorted. Shorted SCR is detected. If not using input contactor , it is recommended

that you map this fault to an output relay to trip the circuit breaker if the error occurs. When

one phase is shorted, motor can be stopped. However, when two or three phases are

shorted, the motor cannot be stopped without the input contactor. 11 – Low Current. Motor current is less than full load current level (broken belt or coupling). 12 – C/L Timeout. Motor current exceeded current limit value. V oltage was reduced to limit

output current but it still exceeded limit for longer than allowed. 13 – Overload. Provides overload protection for SCR’s. (Not for motor thermal overload).

The value of the overload current trip detection was exceeded. 14 – Shearpin. The value of the high current Shearpin trip detection has been exceeded. 15 – Thermistor. Optional with I/O expansion board. Refer to MN851 for information. 16 – External Trip. Optional with I/O expansion board. Refer to MN851 for information.

Electrical Noise Considerations

All electronic devices are vulnerable to significant electronic interference signals (commonly called “Electrical Noise”). At the lowest level, noise can cause intermittent operating errors or faults. From a circuit standpoint, 5 or 10 millivolts of noise may cause detrimental operation. For example, analog speed and torque inputs are often scaled at 5 to 10VDC maximum with a typical resolution of one part in 1,000. Thus, noise of only 5 mV represents a substantial error.

At the extreme level, significant noise can cause damage to the drive. Therefore, it is advisable to prevent noise generation and to follow wiring practices that prevent noise generated by other devices from reaching sensitive circuits. In a control, such circuits include inputs for speed, torque, control logic, and speed and position feedback, plus outputs to some indicators and computers.

Relay and Contactor Coils

Among the most common sources of noise are the coils of contactors and relays. When these highly inductive coil circuits are opened, transient conditions often generate spikes of several hundred volts in the control circuit. These spikes can induce several volts of noise in an adjacent wire that runs parallel to a control-circuit wire. Figure 5-1 illustrates noise suppression for AC and DC relay coils.

Control Enclosures Motor controls mounted in a grounded enclosure should also be connected to earth

ground with a separate conductor to ensure best ground connection. Often grounding the control to the grounded metallic enclosure is not sufficient. Usually painted surfaces and seals prevent solid metallic contact between the control and the panel enclosure. Likewise, conduit should never be used as a ground conductor for motor power wires or signal conductors.

Special Motor Considerations

Motor frames must also be grounded. As with control enclosures, motors must be grounded directly to the control and plant ground with as short a ground wire as possible. Capacitive coupling within the motor windings produces transient voltages between the motor frame and ground. The severity of these voltages increases with the length of the ground wire. Installations with the motor and control mounted on a common frame, and with heavy ground wires less than 10 ft. long, rarely have a problem caused by these motor–generated transient voltages.

Analog Signals Analog signals generally originate from speed and torque controls, plus DC tachometers

and process controllers. Reliability is often improved by the following noise reduction techniques:

• Use twisted-pair shielded wires with the shield grounded at the drive end only.

• Route analog signal wires away from power or control wires (all other wiring types).

• Cross power and control wires at right angles (90°) to minimize inductive noise

coupling.

Appendix A CE Guidelines

CE Declaration of Conformity

Baldor indicates that the products are only components and not ready for immediate or instant use within the meaning of “Safety law of appliance”, “EMC Law” or “Machine directive”.

The final mode of operation is defined only after installation into the user’s equipment. It is the responsibility of the user to verify compliance.

The product conforms with the following standards: EN 60947–4–2 Low–voltage switch gear and control gear – Contactors and motor

EMC – Conformity and CE – Marking

The information contained herein is for your guidance only and does not guarantee that the installation will meet the requirements of the council directive 89/336/EEC.

The purpose of the EEC directives is to state a minimum technical requirement common to all the member states within the European Union. In turn, these minimum technical requirements are intended to enhance the levels of safety both directly and indirectly.

Council directive 89/336/EEC relating to Electro Magnetic Compliance (EMC) indicates that it is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that the entire system complies with all relative directives at the time of installing into service.

Motors and controls are used as components of a system, per the EMC directive. Hence all components, installation of the components, interconnection between components, and shielding and grounding of the system as a whole determines EMC compliance.

The CE mark does not inform the purchaser which directive the product complies with. It rests upon the manufacturer or his authorized representative to ensure the item in question complies fully with all the relative directives in force at the time of installing into service, in the same way as the system integrator previously mentioned. Remember, it is the instructions of installation and use, coupled with the product, that comply with the directive.

EMC Installation Instructions

To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the following installation instructions should be completed. These steps help to reduce interference. Consider the following:

A proper enclosure should have the following characteristics:

• Grounding of all system elements to a central ground point

• Shielding of all cables and signal wires

• Filtering of power lines

A) All metal conducting parts of the enclosure must be electrically connected to the

back plane. These connections should be made with a grounding strap from each element to a central grounding point . 

B) Keep the power wiring (motor and power cable) and control wiring separated. If

these wires must cross, be sure they cross at 90 degrees to minimize noise due to induction.

C) The shield connections of the signal and power cables should be connected to

the screen rails or clamps. The screen rails or clamps should be conductive clamps fastened to the cabinet. 

D) The cable to the regeneration resistor must be shielded. The shield must be

connected to ground at both ends.

E) The location of the AC mains filter has to be situated close to the drive so the

AC power wires are as short as possible.

F) Wires inside the enclosure should be placed as close as possible to conducting

metal, cabinet walls and plates. It is advised to terminate unused wires to chassis ground. 

G) To reduce ground current, use at least a 10mm2 (6 AWG) solid wire for ground

connections.

 Grounding in general describes all metal parts which can be connected to a

protective conductor, e.g. housing of cabinet, motor housing, etc. to a central ground point. This central ground point is then connected to the main plant (or building) ground.

 Or run as twisted pair at minimum.

C-2 Appendix MN850

Appendix D Voltage Surge Protection

Grounding Proper grounding is extremely important. The symptoms produced by improper

grounding are obvious. Sometimes filters and other expensive devices are added to reduce the effects of problems caused by poor grounding. There can be several reference points (neutrals) in a circuit but there should always only be one ground point. Neutral and ground are not the same. Neutral should normally be a non current carrying conductor, but it should be sized to carry momentary current caused be short circuits in the equipment. All of the neutrals in a system should connect at a central point and that point should be connected to the system ground.

The goal is to minimize the current through the ground conductor. Circulating ground current is a source of electrical noise normally associated with unbalanced voltages or unbalanced loads. Capacitive or inductive coupling between power lines and the neutral or ground conductors is another noise source. Currents that flow through capacitive paths or from a magnetic field tend to change rapidly and produce high frequency interference called RFI (radio frequency interference).

Good grounding is also important to minimize the effects of large voltage spikes that can create significant current flow in the ground conductors. The source of these voltages can be lightning striking the power lines, switching of large power loads and others. A balanced three phase four wire system with a system ground as shown in Figure D-1 can minimize noise problems normally associated with grounding. AC power and motor leads should be as short as possible and enclosed in conduit or shielded cable should be used. Power wires and Motor leads should never be in the same conduit.

MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor)

Baldor recommends that MOV devices be installed at the input power connections to the Soft–Start control to provide “phase–to phase” and “phase–to–ground” voltage spike protection. Three MOV devices can be connected in “WYE” configuration with an additional MOV device connected to ground. Figures D-2 and D-3 shows how to connect the MOV’s into the various power distribution system designs. Voltage spikes on any phase will be conducted to ground by the lowest impedance path (phase–to–phase or phase–to–ground).
