Operation The 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 Overview 1-15
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.

1-16 Product Overview
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

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:
Table 1.A PTC Input Ratings

The following figure illustrates the required PTC sensor characteristics, per IEC-34-11-2.
Figure 1.18 PTC Sensor Characteristics per IEC-34-11-2
PTC Trip
The SMC-Flex will trip with a PTC indication if:
No other fault currently exists
PTC protection is enabled
1-18 Product 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
protection can be toggled either On or Off.
Phase Reversal protection is functional only at pre-start.
Metering Power monitoring parameters include:
Three-phase current

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 Overview 1-19
I/O The 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 Logic Command Word (Control).

Installation
Degree of Protection The SMC-Flex soft starters have an IP00 or IP2X protection rating,
depending on the size. Taking into account the ambient conditions, the device must be installed in IP54 (Type 2) switchgear cabinets. Make sure that no dust, liquids, or conductive parts can enter the soft starter. Soft starter operation produces waste heat (heat loss). See Table 2.A or Specifications on page A-9, for details.
Receiving It is the user’s responsibility to thoroughly inspect the equipment
before accepting the shipment from the freight company. Check the item(s) received against the purchase order. If any items are damaged, it is the responsibility of the user not to accept delivery until the freight agent has noted the damage on the freight bill. Should any concealed damage be found during unpacking, it is again the responsibility of the user to notify the freight agent. The shipping container must be left intact and the freight agent should be requested to make a visual inspection of the equipment.
Unpacking Remove all packing material, wedges, or braces from within and
around the controller.
Inspecting After unpacking, check the item(s’) nameplate catalog number
against the purchase order.
Storing The controller should remain in its shipping container prior to
installation. If the equipment is not to be used for a period of time, it must be stored according to the following instructions in order to maintain warranty coverage.

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 Modules Protective 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.
2-14 Installation
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.

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.

Special Application Considerations Use 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.
Wiring 3-37
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 Applications The 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 Management Before 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.
Description Action Display
Recalling Defaults
After parameter values have been modified, factory default settings can still be re-initialized.
Memory Storage:
Reset to Defaults
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory (EEPROM)
The SMC-Flex controller provides a non-volatile area for storing user-modified parameter values in the EEPROM.
