OperationThe SMC-Flex controller can operate standard squirrel-cage
induction motors rated 1…1250 A or Star-delta (wye-delta) type
motors rated 1.8…1600 A; up to 690V AC, 50/60 Hz. Depending
upon the controller type ordered, the control power input can range
from 100…240V AC to 24V AC/DC. Please verify voltage on
product, before applying power.
Modes of Operation (Standard)Soft Start
This mode has the most general application. The motor is given an
initial torque setting, which is user-adjustable from 0…90% of locked
rotor torque. From the initial torque level, the output voltage to the
motor is steplessly increased during the acceleration ramp time. The
acceleration ramp time is user-adjustable from 0…30 seconds. If the
SMC-Flex controller senses that the motor has reached the up-tospeed condition during the voltage ramp operation, the internal
bypass contactor will be pulled in.

Product Overview1-15
Ground Fault
In isolated or high impedance-grounded systems, core-balanced
current sensors are typically used to detect low level ground faults
caused by insulation breakdowns or entry of foreign objects.
Detection of such ground faults can be used to interrupt the system to
prevent further damage, or to alert the appropriate personnel to
perform timely maintenance.
The SMC-Flex’s ground fault detection capabilities require the use of
external sensor. Installation of this sensor allows the option of
enabling Ground Fault Trip, Ground Fault Alarm, or both.
For the 5…480 Amp devices, the recommended sensor is a Cat. No.
825-CBCT core balance current transformer for 1…5 A corebalanced ground fault protection.
For the 625…1250 A devices, the recommended sensor is shown
below and provides 5…25 A core-balanced ground fault protection.

Ground Fault Trip
The SMC-Flex will trip with a ground fault indication if:
•No other fault currently exists
•Ground fault protection is enabled
•GF Inhibit Time has expired
•GF Current is equal to or greater than the GF Trip Level for a
time period greater than the GF Trip Delay
Parameter 75, Gnd Flt Inh Time, allows the installer to inhibit a
ground fault trip from occurring during the motor starting sequence
and is adjustable from 0…250 seconds.
Parameter 74, Gnd Flt Delay, allows the installer to define the time
period a ground fault condition must be present before a trip occurs. It
is adjustable from 0.1…250 seconds.
Parameter 73, Gnd Flt Level, allows the installer to define the ground
fault current at which the SMC-Flex will trip. It is adjustable from
1.0…5.0 A or 5.0…25 A, depending on the service size.
Important: The ground fault inhibit timer starts after the maximum
phase of load current transitions from 0 A to 30% of the
device’s minimum FLA Setting or the GF Current is
greater than or equal to 0.5 A. The SMC-Flex does not
begin monitoring for a ground fault condition until the
Gnd Flt Inh Time expires.
Ground Fault Alarm
The SMC-Flex will indicate a Ground Fault Alarm if:
•No warning currently exists
•Ground fault alarm is enabled
•GF Inhibit Time has expired
•GF Current is equal to or greater than the Gnd Flt A Lvl
Parameter 77, Gnd Flt A Lvl, allows the installer to define the ground
fault current at which the SMC-Flex will indicate a warning. It is
adjustable from 1.0…5.0 A or 5.0…25 A, depending on the service
size.
Parameter 78, Gnd Flt A Dly, allows the installer to define the time
period a ground fault alarm condition must be present before a trip
occurs. It is adjustable from 0…250 seconds.

Thermistor/PTC Protection
The SMC-Flex provides terminals 23 and 24 for the connection of
positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor sensors. PTC
sensors are commonly embedded in motor stator windings to monitor
the motor winding temperature. When the motor winding temperature
reaches the PTC sensor’s temperature rating, the PTC sensor’s
resistance transitions from a low to high value. Since PTC sensors
react to actual temperature, enhanced motor protection can be
provided to address such conditions as obstructed cooling and high
ambient temperatures.
The following table defines the SMC-Flex PTC thermistor input and
response ratings:

PTC Trip
The SMC-Flex will trip with a PTC indication if:
•No other fault currently exists
•PTC protection is enabled
1-18Product Overview
•The resistance across terminals 23 and 24 is either greater than
the relay’s response resistance or less than the short-circuit trip
resistance.
Excessive Starts/Hour
The SMC-Flex controller allows the user to program the allowed
number of starts per hour (up to 99). This helps eliminate motor stress
caused by repeated starting over a short time period.
Overtemperature
The SMC-Flex controller monitors the temperature of the SCRs and
Bypass by using internal thermistors. When the power poles’
maximum rated temperature is reached, the unit will shut down and
restart is inhibited.
An overtemperature condition can indicate inadequate ventilation,
high ambient temperature, overloading, or excessive cycling. After
the temperature is reduced to allowable levels, the fault can be
cleared.
Open Gate
An open gate fault indicates that improper SCR firing, typically
caused by an open SCR gate, has been detected on one of the power
poles. Before the controller shuts down, it will attempt to start the
motor a total of three times.
Line Faults
The SMC-Flex controller continually monitors line conditions for
abnormal factors. Pre-start protection includes:
•Line Fault (with phase indication)
– Line voltage loss
– Missing load connection
– Shorted SCR
Running protection includes:
•Line Fault (no phase indication)
– Line voltage loss
– Missing load connection
Phase Reversal
➀
protection can be toggled either On or Off.
➀Phase Reversal protection is functional only at pre-start.
MeteringPower monitoring parameters include:
•Three-phase current
•Three-phase voltage
•Power in kW
•Power usage in kWH
•Power factor
•Motor thermal capacity usage
•Elapsed time
Notes: (1) Voltage measurement is not available during the braking
operation of the SMB Smart Motor Braking, Accu-Stop,
and Slow Speed with Braking control options.
(2) The elapsed time and kWH values are automatically
saved to memory every 12 hours.
(3) Motor thermal capacity usage is determined by the built-
in electronic thermal overload. An overload fault occurs
when this value reaches 100%.
Product Overview1-19
I/OThe SMC-Flex has the ability to accept up to two (2) inputs and
four (4) outputs controlled over a network. The two inputs are
controlled at terminal 16 (Option Input #1), and terminal 15
(Option Input #2). For these two inputs, see Chapter 4 for the
parameter settings and see Chapter 7 for the bit identification.
By using these two terminals as inputs, the Stop Input will need to be
programmed to meet the desired stop functionality.
The four (4) outputs are Aux #1, Aux #2, Aux #3, and Aux #4. All
auxiliary contacts are programmable to the function found on
page 4-14. If programmed to Network or Network NC, they can be
controlled over a Network. Please see Table 7.H that defines the

General PrecautionsIn addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the
following statements, which are general to the system, must be read
and understood.
The controller contains ESD- (electrostatic
discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static
control precautions are required when installing,
testing, servicing, or repairing the assembly.
Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar
with static control procedures, refer to applicable
ESD protection handbooks.
An incorrectly applied or installed controller can
damage components or reduce product life. Wiring
or application errors, such as undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive
ambient temperatures, may result in malfunction of
the system.
Only personnel familiar with the controller and
associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, start-up, and subsequent maintenance
of the system. Failure to do this may result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Hazardous voltages that can cause shock, burn, or
death are present on L1, L2, L3, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5,
and T6.
Power terminal covers can be installed to prevent
inadvertent contact with terminals. Disconnect the
main power before servicing the motor controller or
associated wiring.
Heat DissipationThe following table provides the maximum heat dissipation at rated
current for the controllers. For currents lower than rated value, heat
dissipation will be reduced.
➊Larger enclosure may be required based on options selected. Consult your local Rockwell
Automation Sales office or Allen-Bradley distributor.
➋Use this row for 460V -58 and 575V -59.
➌Use this row for 460V -59 and 575V -60 and -61.

Power Factor
Correction Capacitors
The controller can be installed on a system with power factor
correction (PFC) capacitors. The capacitors must be located on the
line side of the controller. This must be done to prevent damage to the
SCRs in the SMC-Flex controller.
When discharged, a capacitor essentially has zero impedance. For
switching, sufficient impedance should be connected in series with
the capacitor bank to limit the inrush current. One method for limiting
the surge current is to add inductance in the capacitor’s conductors.
This can be accomplished by creating turns or coils in the power
connections to the capacitors.
•250V — 15 cm (6 in.) diameter coil, 6 loops
•480…690V — 15 cm (6 in.) diameter coil, 8 loops
Take care in mounting the coils so that they are not stacked directly
on top of each other; stacking will cause a cancelling effect. Also,
mount the coils on insulated supports away from metal parts so they
will not act as induction heaters. If an isolation contactor is used, put
capacitors in front of contactor.
Note: For further instructions, consult the PFC capacitor vendor.

Protective ModulesProtective modules containing metal oxide varistors (MOVs) can be
installed on controllers rated 5…1250 A and 200…600V, to protect
the power components from electrical transients. The protective
modules clip voltage transients generated on the lines to prevent such
surges from damaging the SCRs.
When installing or inspecting the protective module,
make sure that the controller has been disconnected
from the power source. The protective module
should be inspected periodically for damage or
discoloration. Replace if necessary.
Motor Overload
Protection
Thermal motor overload protection is provided as standard with the
SMC-Flex controller. If the overload trip class is less than the
acceleration time of the motor, nuisance tripping may occur.
Overload protection should be properly coordinated
with the motor.
Two applications require special consideration: two-speed motors,
and multi-motor protection.
Two-speed Motors
The SMC-Flex controller has overload protection available for single
speed motors. When the SMC-Flex controller is applied to a twospeed motor, the Overload Class parameter must be programmed to
OFF and separate overload relays must be provided for each speed.
Multi-motor Protection
If the SMC-Flex controller is controlling more than one motor,
individual overload protection is required for each motor.

ATTENTION
!
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
This product has been designed for Class A
equipment. Use of the product in domestic
environments may cause radio interference, in
which case, the installer may need to employ
additional mitigation methods.
The following guidelines are provided for EMC installation
compliance.
Enclosure
Install the product in a grounded metal enclosure.
Wiring
Wire in an industrial control application can be divided into three
groups: power, control, and signal. The following recommendations
for physical separation between these groups is provided to reduce the
coupling effect.
•Different wire groups should cross at 90° inside an enclosure.
•Minimum spacing between different wire groups in the same tray
should be 16 cm (6 in.).
•Wire runs outside an enclosure should be run in conduit or have
shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation.
•Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
•Minimum spacing between conduits containing different wire
groups should be 8 cm (3 in.).
•For additional guidelines, please refer to Wiring and Ground
guidelines, publication DRIVES-IN001A-EN-P.
Additional Requirements
•If linear acceleration is used, a separate conduit or wire way
should be used for the tachometer leads.
•Wire earth ground to control terminal 14.
•Use shielded wire for PTC, Tachometer, and ground fault input.
•Terminate shielded wires to terminal 14.
•Ground fault CT must be inside or within 3 m of metal enclosure.
To meet product susceptibility requirements, ferrite cores need to be
added to the communication lines. When using an external HIM (or
DPI interface), a core should be added to the HIM cable near the
SMC-Flex control module. The recommended core is Fair-Rite
no. 0431167281 or equivalent. When using a DeviceNet circuit, two
cores need to be added to the DeviceNet cable near the SMC-Flex
control module. The recommended cores are TDK ZCAT2023 0930H
and TDK ZCAT2035 0930 or equivalent. All cores specified are the
split type cores and can be added to existing connections.

Power StructureThe SMC-Flex product has an integrated mechanical run contactor on
each phase of the motor to minimize heat generation during run time.
These contacts are pulled in sequentially in the 108…1250 A units. In
the 5…85 A units, these contacts are pulled in, all at once. The
SMC-Flex product also has a Current Transformer (CT), built in on
each phase of the motor to provide current readings.

ATTENTION
!
Use of an isolation contactor or shunt trip type circuit breaker on the line side of the SMC. This
device should be capable of interrupting the motor’s lock rotor current.
Connection of this isolation device to an auxiliary contact on the SMC-Flex. The auxiliary contact
should be programmed for the “normal” condition. See Chapter 4 for additional information on
programming.
Failure of solid state power switching components can cause overheating due to a single-phase
condition in the motor. To prevent injury or equipment damage, the following is recommended:
Line Connected
The SMC-Flex by default is programmed to be connected to a line
controlled motor as shown in Figure 3.4. These motors typically have
3 leads and must be rated between 1…1250 amps. An optional
isolation contactor can be added to the circuit to provide galvanic
isolation of the motor and final electro-mechanical removal of power.

Controllers rated 625…1250 A
For controllers rated 625…1250 A, common control is required for
proper operation. Control power is connected to the product through
terminal block CP1, at terminals 1 and 4. This single connection point
feeds the control module, contactors, and fans. Control power must be
supplied as 110/120 VAC or 230/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz only. A control
power source of at least 800 VA is required. The control power
requirements include the control module (75 VA), bypass contactors
(526 VA max), and fan power (150 VA).
Depending on the specific application, additional control circuit
transformer VA capacity may be required.

Special Application ConsiderationsUse of Protective Modules
The user is responsible for determining which
stopping mode is best suited to the application and
will meet applicable standards for operator safety
on a particular machine.
A protective module (see Figure 3.35) containing metal oxide
varistors (MOVs) can be installed to protect the power components
from electrical transients and/or electrical noise. The protective
modules clip transients generated on the lines and prevent such surges
from damaging the SCRs.
Wiring3-37
MADE IN U.S.A
PROTECTIVE MODULE
MAX. LINE VOLTAGE
Figure 3.35 Protective Module
There are two general situations that may occur which would indicate
the need for using the protective modules.
1. Transient spikes may occur on the lines feeding the SMC-Flex
controller (or feeding the load from the SMC-Flex controller).
Spikes are created on the line when devices are attached with
current-carrying inductances that are open-circuited. The energy
stored in the magnetic field is released when the contacts open the
circuit. Examples of these are lightly loaded motors,
transformers, solenoids, and electromechanical brakes. Lightning
can also cause spikes.
2. The second situation arises when the SMC-Flex controller is
installed on a system that has fast-rising wavefronts present,
although not necessarily high peak voltages. Lightning strikes can
cause this type of response. Additionally, if the SMC-Flex controller is on the same bus as other SCR devices, (AC/DC drives,
induction heating equipment, or welding equipment) the firing of
the SCRs in those devices can cause noise.
Note: protective modules may be placed on the line, load, or both
sides of the SMC. However, protective modules must NOT be
placed on the load side of the SMC when using inside-thedelta motor connections or with pump, linear speed, or
braking control.

Multi-motor ApplicationsThe SMC-Flex controller will operate with more than one motor
connected to it. To size the controller, add the total nameplate
amperes of all of the connected loads. The stall and jam features
should be turned off. Separate overloads are still required to meet the
National Electric Code (NEC) requirements.
Note: The SMC-Flex controller’s built-in overload protection
cannot be used in multi-motor applications.

Parameter ManagementBefore you begin programming, it’s important to understand how the
controller memory is:
•structured within the SMC-Flex controller
•used on power-up and during normal operation
Refer to Figure 4.3 and the explanations below.
Figure 4.3 Memory Block Diagram
Sel
Random Access Memory (RAM)
This is the work area of the controller after it is powered up. The
SMC-Flex uses an Auto Store feature when programming parameters.
When parameters are modified in the program mode, the new values
are stored immediately in RAM and then in EEPROM, once the enter
key has been pressed. If control power is lost prior to the enter key
being pressed, these values will be lost. When the device first powers
up, the values from the EEPROM area of memory are copied into
RAM.
Read-only Memory (ROM)
The SMC-Flex controller comes with factory default parameter
values. These settings are stored in non-volatile ROM and are
displayed the first time you enter the Program mode. At any time you
can restore defaults by accessing the memory storage menu.
DescriptionActionDisplay
Recalling Defaults
After parameter values have been modified,
factory default settings can still be re-initialized.
The SMC-Flex controller provides a non-volatile area for storing
user-modified parameter values in the EEPROM.

Dual Ramp StartThe SMC-Flex controller provides the user with the ability to select
between two Start settings. The parameters below are available in the
Set Up programming mode. To obtain Dual Ramp control, Ramp #1
is located in the Basic Set Up and Ramp #2 is located in the Option 2
Input (Dual Ramp).
ParameterOption
Set Up
The user must select the Set Up programming mode to obtain
access to the Dual Ramp parameters.
