DescriptionThe MV SMC-Flex is a solid-state, three-phase, AC line controller. It is
designed to provide microprocessor-controlled starting and stopping of
standard three-phase, squirrel-cage induction motors, using the same
control module as the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 150 SMC-Flex.
1503E – OEM Controller
A chassis-mount medium voltage solid-state controller designed to mount in
an OEM or customer supplied structure, and designed to work in conjunction
with an existing or OEM/customer supplied starter. It is comprised of
several modular components, including:
• Frame-mounted or loose power stacks including gate driver boards
This mode has the most general application. The motor is given an initial
torque setting, which is user-adjustable from 0 to 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 to 30 seconds. Once the MV SMC-Flex
controller senses that the motor has reached the up-to-speed condition during
the voltage ramp operation, the output voltage automatically switches to
full voltage, and the bypass contactor is closed.

Starting Modes (cont.)Selectable Kickstart :
Selectable kickstart provides a power boost at start-up that is user-adjustable
from 0 to 90% of locked rotor torque. The additional power helps motors
generate higher torque to overcome the resistive mechanical forces of some
applications when they are started. The selectable kickstart time is useradjustable from 0.0 to 2.0 seconds.

Current Limit Start ;
This starting mode provides a true current limit start that is used when
limiting the maximum starting current is necessary. The Current Limit level
is user-adjustable from 50% to 600% of the motor's full-load ampere rating,
and the current limit time is user-adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds. Once the
MV SMC-Flex™ controller senses that the motor has reached the up-tospeed condition during the current limit starting mode, the output voltage
automatically switches to full voltage and the bypass contactor is closed.

Linear Speed Acceleration and Deceleration
The SMC-Flex has the ability to control the motor speed during starting
and stopping maneuvers. A tachometer signal (0 to 5V DC) is required to
perform this start mode. The start time is selectable from 0 to 30 seconds
and determines the time the motor will ramp from 0 speed to full speed.
Kickstart is available with this option.

Linear deceleration does not need to be used, even if linear acceleration is
used. The stop time can be programmed for 0 to 60 seconds. Linear
deceleration cannot brake the motor/load and reduce the stop time.
Note: Consult factory if settings over 30 seconds are required. The base
rating of the MV SMC-Flex is two starts (or one start/stop combination)
per hour, thirty seconds maximum for each operation. A stopping operation
counts as a start for purposes of thermal capacity calculations.

This feature can be used in applications that require an extended coast-torest time. The voltage ramp-down time is user-adjustable from 0 to 60
seconds and is adjusted independently from the starting time. The load
will stop when the output voltage drops to a point where the load torque is
greater than the developed motor torque.

Protection and DiagnosticsThe MV SMC-Flex™ controller is capable of providing the following
protective and diagnostic features:
Overload
The MV SMC-Flex controller meets applicable requirements as a motor
overload protection device. Thermal memory provides added protection
and is maintained even when control power is removed. The built-in
overload algorithm controls the value stored in Parameter 12, Motor
Thermal Usage (see Chapter 4, Programming). An Overload Fault will
occur when this value reaches 100%. The parameters below provide
application flexibility and easy setup.
ParameterRange
Overload ClassOff, 10, 15, 20, 30
Overload ResetManual – Auto
Motor FLC1.0 – 1000.0 amps
ServiceFactor0.01–1.99
Important: During slow speed operations, current waveforms exhibit
non-sinusoidal characteristics. These non-sinusoidal characteristics
inhibit the controller's current-measurement capability. To compensate
for additional motor heating that may result, the controller uses motor
thermal modeling, which increments motor thermal usage. This compensation takes place when the Preset Slow Speed option is used.
Notes:
1. The factory default setting for Overload Class, which is "OFF", disables
overload protection. An overload trip class and the motor's full-load
current rating must be programmed to enable overload protection.
2. If the MV SMC-Flex is used to control a multi-speed motor, or more
than one motor, the Overload Class parameter must be programmed
to "OFF" and separate overload relays must be supplied for each
speed/motor.
3. Automatic reset of an overload fault requires the start input to be
cycled in a 2-wire control scheme.
4. The trip rating is 117% of the programmed FLC.
Figures 1.9 and 1.10 provide the overload trip curves for the available trip
classes.

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 MV SMC-Flex’s ground fault detection capabilities consist of using a
core balance current transformer for 1 to 5A core-balanced ground fault
protection with the option of enabling Ground Fault Trip, Ground Fault
Alarm, or both (a core balance CT is provided with 1562E units).
Ground Fault Trip
The MV SMC-Flex will trip with a ground fault indication if:
• No trip 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 to 250 seconds.
%5-"%.0*UNE

Ground Fault Trip (cont.)
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 to 25 seconds.
Parameter 73, Gnd Flt Level, allows the installer to define the ground
fault current at which the MV SMC-Flex will trip. It is adjustable from
1.0 to 5.0 A.
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 FLASetting or the GF Current is greater than or equal to 0.5 A. The MV
SMC-Flex does not begin monitoring for a ground fault condition until the
Gnd Flt Inh Time expires.
Ground Fault Alarm
The MV 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 an alarm will be indicated. It is adjustable from 1.0 to 5.0 A.
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 0.1 to 25 seconds.
Thermistor/PTC Protection
The MV 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 MV SMC-Flex PTC thermistor input and
response ratings:

Open Gate
An open-gate fault indicates that improper SCR firing, typically caused by
an open SCR gate or driver system, 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 (or as programmed in Parameter 82).
An open gate is detected when the module sends a gate signal to the SCRs
but does not detect that they turned on. SCR turn-on is detected when the
voltage across the leg (L-T) collapses.
Line Faults
The MV 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

Excessive Starts/Hour
The MV SMC-Flex™ module allows the user to program the desired
number of starts per hour (up to 99). This helps eliminate motor stress
caused by repeated starting over a short time period.
Note: The base rating of the MV SMC-Flex is two starts (thirty seconds
each max.) per hour. Applications requiring more frequent starts, or longer
duration starts, should be reviewed with the factory to avoid equipment damage.
Overtemperature
The power module temperature is monitored during starting and stopping
maneuvers by thermistors. The thermistor is connected to the gate driver
board where it is processed, and the status is transmitted by fibre-optic
cable through the interface board to the control module. When an
overtemperature condition exists (>85°C), the control module trips and
indicates a "PTC Power Pole" fault.
An overtemperature condition could indicate high ambient temperature,
overloading or excessive cycling. After the power module temperature is
reduced to allowable levels, the fault can be cleared (see page 9-1 for
instructions).
MeteringPower monitoring parameters include:
•Three-phase current
•Three-phase voltage
•Power in MW
•Power usage in MWh

•Motor speed (100%, with use of optional tachometer input)
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 MWh values are automatically saved to memory
every 12 hours.

Control OptionsThe MV SMC-Flex™ controller offers the control options described below.
Important: The options listed in this section are mutually exclusive and
must be specified when ordering. An existing controller may be upgraded
to another control option by replacing the control module and possibly other
components. Consult your nearest Rockwell Automation sales office.
Pump Control Option
This option reduces surges during the starting and stopping of a centrifugal
pump by smoothly accelerating and decelerating the motor. The microprocessor analyzes the motor variables and generates commands that control
the motor and reduce the possibility of surges occurring in the system.
The motor current will vary during the acceleration period, and may be
near the motor rated starting current. The pump algorithm does not limit
starting current since full voltage is needed to reach full speed with a
loaded motor.
The starting time is programmable from 0-30 seconds, and the stopping
time is programmable from 0-120 seconds.

Control Options (cont.)Pump Application Considerations
1. Consult factory if start time settings over 30 seconds are required.
The base rating of the MV SMC-Flex is two starts (or one start/stop
combination) per hour, thirty seconds maximum for each operation.
A st o pping operation counts as a start for purposes of thermal capacity
calculations.
2. The Pump Control option functions only for centrifugal pumps. It is
not suited for positive displacement, piston, or other types of pumps.
3. The Pump Stop option functions only for a centrifugal pump running
at greater than approximately 2/3 of the motor rated horsepower.
4. Pump applications with input and/or output valves that are closed during
starting and/or stopping may not benefit from the Pump Control option.
Consult the factory for applications with valves.
5. For starting or stopping times longer than 15 seconds, power fuse
selection should be reviewed to ensure no element damage occurs.
The fuse minimum melting time-current characteristic curve should
be consulted to ensure that, at 1.1 times the full voltage locked rotor
current of the motor, the actual starting or stopping time does not
exceed 75% of the fuse melting time.
6. Motor overload and/or upstream breaker settings may have to be
adjusted to allow the starting or stopping current to flow for extended
periods.

1-22Product Overview
Hardware DescriptionThe following sections contain descriptions of system components and
system operation. Each section will be described to give the user an
understanding of the MV SMC-Flex to facilitate operation and maintenance
of the system. Refer to Figures 1.18 through 1.21, Typical MV SMC-Flex
Power System.
Power Module
The controller consists of three power modules, one for each phase. Each
power module consists of incoming and outgoing terminals for cables, SCRs,
heatsink and clamp assembly. The SCRs are connected in inverse parallel
(and in series for 12- or 18-SCR assemblies) to form a three-phase, AC
line controller configuration.
Each power module includes a snubber circuit to limit the rate of rise in
voltage across each SCR pair. The module also includes patented gate
driver circuits which derive their power from the snubber circuit.
Voltage sharing resistors are connected across each SCR pair to provide
static voltage balance for series-connected SCRs. These resistors are
tapped to provide a reference for overvoltage protection circuitry on the
gate driver board.
A voltage sensing board is used to reduce the line-side and load-side voltages
to lower levels that can be measured by the SMC-Flex control module.
This board provides the turn-on capability for SCR devices. The board
also provides optical fibre isolation between itself and the gating source
logic. It is powered by recovering energy from the snubber circuit, so it is
fully isolated from the control and logic circuits; it is self-economizing
when the unit is not running, or is in bypass mode.
Note: If pump control or stop control are used, the gate driver boards are
powered continuously using separate power supply boards. (Refer to
Chapter 8 for additional details.)
The MV SMC-Flex has three heatsinks fitted with a thermistor to monitor
temperature rise. The circuitry on the gate driver board accepts the
thermistor, and drives a fibre-optic cable if the temperature is below the
setpoint (85°C). If the temperature rises above the setpoint, the driver is
turned off, and the MV SMC-Flex is signalled to stop gating and initiate a
temperature fault.
Due to the self-powered nature of the circuits, this function is active only
while the SMC is active. While the starter is off, or in bypass, no power is
dissipated in the SCRs and the temperature of the SCRs can only decrease.
%5-"%.0*UNE
Product Overview1-23
Interface Board
This circuit board takes current transformer signals plus line-side and loadside voltage feedback signals from the voltage sensing board and passes
them to the SMC-Flex for processing. The control module produces gating
signals for the SCRs, which are received on the interface board, and used
to drive fibre-optic transmitters. The gating signals are sent to the gate-driver
circuit board via fibre-optic cables. The interface board also receives
temperature feedback from the gate-driver board via fibre-optic cable(s).
If the heatsink temperature rises above a set value, a signal is sent to the
SMC-Flex to stop gating the SCRs and initiate a temperature fault.
For a detailed layout of this circuit board, refer to Figure 3.2 on page 3-6.

Functional DescriptionThe following functional descriptions and associated control circuits are
for units using IntelliVAC contactor control modules. For units with
electromechanical (relay) control, refer to Appendix C.
Bulletin 1562E • Basic Control – Controlled Start only
When wired as shown in Figure 1.22, the controller operates as follows:
Pressing the "Start" button initiates the start sequence. Relay "CR" closes
and applies control power to terminal 17 of the SMC-Flex module. The
auxiliary contact #2 ("Normal") closes, energizing "M-IV" and "MC",
which completes the hold-in circuit on the start button, and closes the main
contactor.
The SMC-Flex module examines the line voltage, looks for fault
conditions, checks phase rotation, calculates zero crossing information, and
begins gating the SCRs to start the motor.
When the motor approaches rated speed, the SMC-Flex module closes the
"AUX1" (up-to-speed) auxiliary contacts, energizing "B-IV", which closes
the bypass contactor. The motor then runs at full line voltage.
When the "Stop" button is pressed, the "CR" relay opens terminal 17 on
the SMC-Flex module. The "Normal" contact opens, dropping out the
main contactor, allowing the motor to stop. The "AUX1" contact is held
closed for a short time by the control module. This holds the bypass
contactor closed for about 10 seconds to protect the power electronics from
any voltage transients due to opening the motor circuits.
%5-"%.0*UNE
Product Overview1-29
Bulletin 1562E • Basic Control – With Controlled Stop
When wired as shown in Figure 1.23, the controller operates in much the
same manner as in Figure 1.22.
Terminal 16 on the SMC-Flex module now controls the start and stop
maneuvers. Terminal 16 must remain energized for the module to run.
When the “Stop” button is pressed, and “CR” opens, the
SMC-Flex module
will initiate the option stop. An uncontrolled, or coast stop, is achieved by
opening the connection to terminal 17. This contact should remain open to
ensure all hold-in contacts clear, to prevent a re-start.
If the motor has started, the unit is in the bypass mode, and a trip occurs
within the SMC-Flex module or from an external protection relay; "AUX2"
will open the line contactor immediately, and "AUX1" will remain closed
for 10 seconds. A trip due to an overload or fault condition will result in a
“coast” stop.
Bulletin 1562E • DPI Control – Controlled Start only
The control scheme shown in Figure 1.24 allows the MV SMC-Flex to be
controlled using DPI (Drive Programming Interface). This special usage of
DPI includes provisions for a "Hand" mode of control as well.
With the Hand-Auto selector switch in the "Auto" position, terminal 18 of
the SMC-Flex module is energized, allowing a start command to be
executed via DPI. The "AUX2" contact closes, energizing both "M-IV"
and "MC".
When the motor approaches rated speed, the SMC-Flex module closes
"AUX1", energizing "B-IV", which closes the bypass contactor.
To run in "Hand" mode, the "CR" contact is used to initiate a start
sequence (similar to Figure 1.22).
A stop command can be generated via DPI or by opening "CR", depending
on the control mode.
%5-"%.0*UNE
1-30Product Overview
Functional Description (cont.)Bulletin 1560E • Basic Control – Controlled Start Only
The Bulletin 1560E is intended for addition to an existing motor
controller, which provides circuit isolation, motor switching, and
overload and overcurrent protection. When wired as shown in Figure
1.25, the controller operates as follows:
When a start is initiated in the existing motor controller and the contactor
(or breaker) closes, a contact must be supplied to tell the 1560E to start
also. A "CR" contact will apply control voltage to terminal 17 of the
SMC-Flex module.
When stopping the motor, the contactor in the existing controller will
open, removing power from the motor, and then the “CR” relay. The
bypass hold-in rung will keep the bypass contactor closed for a short time.
The “Fault” contact on the SMC-Flex module should be wired into the
existing controller to trip the main contactor (or breaker) in the event of a
fault condition sensed by the SMC-Flex module.
If possible, it is better to have the SMC-Flex module control the main
contactor directly. In this case, the control circuit would look like, and
function like, the descriptions above for the Bulletin 1562E.
Bulletin 1560E • Basic control – With Controlled Stop
When wired as shown in Figure 1.26, the controller operates much the
same as described above for the Standard module. The control signal uses
terminal 16 instead of 17, and a “coast” stop can be achieved by opening
the connection to terminal 17.
It is more important in this configuration to integrate the control circuit of
the 1560E with the existing controller, for better control of the Stop
option. The “start signal” for this scheme cannot be a slave of the main
contactor, since it must remain closed to accomplish the option stop
maneuver. The SMC-Flex module can be used to control the main
contactor such that it will close when a start is initiated, and remain closed
until it has sensed the motor has stopped following an option stop
maneuver.

Product Overview1-31
Bulletin 1560E • DPI Control – Controlled Start only
The control scheme shown in Figure 1.27 allows the MV SMC-Flex to be
controlled using DPI. This special usage of DPI includes provisions for a
"Hand" mode of control as well.
With the Hand-Auto selector switch in the "Auto" position, and closure of
the existing starter main contactor, terminal 18 is energized, allowing a
start command to be executed via DPI. "AUX2" serves as an interlock
with the main contactor (or breaker) in the existing starter.
As with the other control schemes, the SMC-Flex module closes "AUX1",
energizing "B-IV", as the motor approaches rated speed.
Hand control is enabled with the selector switch in the "Hand" position.
Closure of the "Start" relay, from the existing starter, allows the unit to
initiate motor soft starting.

General PrecautionsIn addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following
statements, which are general to the system, must be read and understood.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
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.
Transportation and HandlingThe controller must be transported on a pallet or via use of the lifting
angles supplied as part of all 90-inch (2.3 m) high cabinets or frame units.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Round rollers can be used to assist in moving the controller to the installation site. Once at the final site, the pipe rolling technique can be used to
place the cabinet in the desired position.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Ensure that the load rating of the lifting device is
sufficient to safely raise the controller sections. Failure
to do so may result in severe injury and/or equipment
damage. Refer to the packing slip enclosed with shipment
for shipping weights.
Care must be exercised when using either a forklift, or
the pipe rolling technique, for positioning purposes to
ensure that the equipment is not scratched, dented or
damaged in any manner. Always exercise care to
stabilize the controller during handling to guard against
tipping and injury to personnel.
%5-"%.0*UNE
Installation2-3
Installation SiteConsider the following when selecting the installation site:
A. The operating ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C
(32°F and 104°F) for NEMA Type 1 or 12 enclosures. For higher
ambient conditions, please consult Rockwell Automation factory.
B. The relative humidity must not exceed 95%, non-condensing. Excessive
humidity can cause electrical problems from corrosion or excessive
dirt build-up.
C. The equipment must be kept clean. Dust build-up inside the enclosure
inhibits proper cooling and decreases the system reliability. The
equipment should not be located where liquid or solid contaminants can
drop onto it. Controllers with ventilated enclosures (in particular those
with fans) must be in a room free of airborne contaminants.
D. Only persons familiar with the function of the controller should have
access to it.
E. The losses in the controller produce a definite heat dissipation,
depending on the unit size, that tends to warm the air in the room.
Attention must be given to the room ventilation and cooling requirements to ensure that the proper environmental conditions are met.
F. Operational altitude is 3,300 feet (1 km) maximum without derating.
G. The area of the controller should be free of radio frequency interference
such as encountered with some welding units. This may cause erroneous
fault conditions and shut down the system.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
An incorrectly applied or installed controller can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring
or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or ambient temperatures above or below the specified temperature range may
result in malfunction of the controller.
Mounting
The 1503E, 1560E and 1562E are designed to be mounted in the vertical
position. Standard cabinet drawings with certified dimension drawings can
be obtained by contacting your local Rockwell Automation Sales office for
the 1560E/1562E. Please refer to OEM documentation for the 1503E.
Refer to drawings for mounting requirements.

Installation Site (cont.)Grounding Practices
The purpose of grounding is to:
A. Provide safety for Personnel.
B. Limit dangerous voltages to ground on exposed parts.
C. Facilitate proper overcurrent device operation under ground fault
conditions.
D. Provide for electrical interference suppression.
Important: Generally, grounding should be in accordance with the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) or National Electrical Code (NEC) and
other local codes.
Each power feeder from the substation transformer to the controller must
be equipped with properly sized ground cables. Simply utilizing the
conduit or cable armour as a ground is not adequate. The conduit or cable
armour and ground wires should be bonded to ground at both ends. Each
enclosure and/or frame must be bonded to ground at a minimum of two
locations.
Each AC motor frame must be bonded to grounded building steel within 20
feet (6.1 m) of its location and tied to the controller’s ground bus by ground
wires within the power cables and/or conduit. The conduit or cable armour
should be bonded to ground at both ends.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Any instruments used for test or troubleshooting should
have their case connected to ground for safety. Failure
to do so may result in damage to equipment or personal
injury.
Recommended Torque ValuesWhen reinstalling components or when reassembling the cabinet, tighten
the following bolt sizes to the specified torque values:
NOTE: For 3/8 in. hardware in the 'T'-slots of aluminum heatsinks, the
recommended torque is 16 ft-lb (22 N-m). Do not overtorque these
connections as the slots will be damaged and the connection will be
compromised.
%5-"%.0*UNE
Installation2-5
Power ConnectionsThe controller requires a three-phase supply and an equipment grounding
conductor to earth ground. A neutral conductor of the three-phase supply
is not necessary and is usually not routed to the controller. Three-phase
wiring will connect the controller to the motor.

Power WiringThe wire sizes must be selected individually, observing all applicable
safety and CEC or NEC regulations. The minimum permissible wire size
does not necessarily result in the best operating economy. The minimum
recommended size for the wires between the controller and the motor is the
same as that used if a main voltage source connection to the motor was used.
The distance between the controller and motor may affect the size of the
conductors used.
Consult the wiring diagrams and appropriate CEC or NEC regulations to
determine correct power wiring. If assistance is needed, contact your area
Rockwell Automation Sales Office.
InterlockingHinged doors and panels, which provide access to medium voltage
components, must be mechanically interlocked to ensure circuit isolation.
If a combination MV SMC-Flex (1562E) is purchased from Rockwell
Automation, all medium voltage compartments will be mechanically
interlocked such that they cannot be opened unless the isolating switch for
the unit is open. Each medium voltage door is interlocked to the isolating
switch handle. To open the doors, move the isolating switch to the OFF
position and loosen the two retaining bolts on the main power cell door.
Once this door is open, the other doors may be opened in sequence,
depending on the specific interlock scheme provided. The retrofit-type
MV SMC-Flex (1560E) is intended to be added to an existing motor
controller, and has no isolating means included.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
For 1503E and 1560E, it is the responsibility of the
installer/user to ensure the equipment interlocking
scheme is in place and functional before energizing the
equipment. Inadequate interlocking could expose
personnel to energized parts which could result in severe
burns, injury or death.
NOTE: Rockwell Automation can assist with the selection of an appropriate interlocking method, which may include mechanical modifications
to the cabinet(s) or key-type lock systems.
NOTE: An auxiliary cabinet may be attached to the main structure. It will
be ram-interlocked with the main power cell door, which will not allow it
to be opened until the main power cell door is opened.

InstallationPhysical Location
The controller is designed for limited front access (components may have to
be removed) and should be installed with adequate and safe clearance to
allow for total door opening. The back of the unit may be placed against a
wall and several units may be set end to end. In special cases where floor
space is limited and the unit is not against a wall, certain cabinet sections
may be placed back to back. This requirement must be stated in the specifications in order to mechanically alter the controller.
Fan
The controller may include a cooling fan which is used to cool the component.
It should be checked for free operation and no obstruction of the airflow.
Ground Bus Bar
Controllers which are delivered in two (or more) sections, or retrofit controllers,
will require that the ground bus bar (6 mm x 51 mm) [¼ in. x 2 inches],
which runs the entire length of the equipment in the center back side, be
reconnected. A mechanical lug for #8-#10 AWG or #6-250 MCM cable is
supplied at the incoming end of the line-up. When the sections are brought
together, bus links are used to connect the bus bars.
Installation2-13
Important: Refer to 2-high, Series B drawings in Publication
1500-UM055B-EN-P for power/ground bus connection.
Power and Control Wiring
Controllers consisting of two or more sections will require that the power
and control wiring be connected per the schematic drawings provided.
Control Cables
Control cable entry/exit should be located near the terminal blocks; customer’s
connections are to be routed along the empty side of the terminals. Nylon
cable tie loops are provided at the left, front corner of the cabinet to route
control cables safely behind the low voltage panel hinges. Cables should
be routed so they do not interfere with the swing of the low-voltage panels.
Fibre-Optic Cables
The small, gray, fibre-optic cables are fragile and must be protected during
installation from sharp bends and impact.
The controller can be installed on a system with power factor correction
capacitors. The capacitors must be located on the line side of the controller.
This is required to prevent damage to the SCRs in the MV SMC-Flex
controller. A separate switching contactor is recommended to apply the
capacitors only after the bypass contactor has closed, and to remove them
when the bypass contactor opens. See Figure 2.7 for two different
acceptable connection methods.
NOTE: Consult the factory if there are any capacitors on the same
branch circuit as the MV SMC-Flex.
When discharged, a capacitor has essentially zero impedance. For
switching, sufficient impedance should be connected in series with the
capacitor bank to limit the inrush current. A method of limiting the surge
current is to add inductance in the capacitor conductors. This can be accomplished by putting turns or coils of wire in the power connections to the
capacitors (6-inch diameter coil, six loops). For more information, refer
to NEMA standard ICS 2, Part 2, Capacitor Applications.
Care should be used in mounting the coils so that they are not stacked
directly on top of each other or they will have a cancelling effect. Also,
the coils should be mounted on insulated supports away from metal parts
so they will not act like induction heaters.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Any covers or barriers removed during installation must
be replaced and securely fastened before energizing
equipment. Failure to do so may result in severe burns,
injury or death.

Surge Arrestor Protection
Devices
Rockwell Automation highly recommends that motor surge capacitors and/or
motor surge arresters not be located on the load side of the SMC. The
issues that warrant this are:
•Motor and system inductance limits the rate at which the current can
change through the SMC. If capacitance is added at the motor, the
inductance is negated. The surge capacitors downstream of the SMC
represent a near zero impedance when presented with a step voltage
from the turn on of the SCRs near the line voltage peak. This causes a
high level of di/dt to occur, due to the fact that the motor cables are
generally short in length. There is very little impedance between the
capacitor and SCR to limit the di/dt of this capacitor charging current.
This can result in damage to the power semiconductors (SCRs) in the
SMC.
•It is essential to understand the clamping voltage of the arresters and
type of grounding used in the distribution system. The switching of the
SCRs generates slightly higher than nominal peak line to ground
voltages. The typical peaks are 1.5 times the nominal line to ground
peak voltages. These may cause the arresters to conduct, which could
affect the operation of the SMC and result in faults. Depending upon
the instance at which the arresters conduct, this could also result in
SCR damage.
•The capacitance in combination with the line and motor impedance
could also be excited by the voltage steps from SCR switching to
create resonant voltage swings which could exceed the device voltage
withstanding ratings or surge arrester rating, or cause distorted voltage
signals which may be misinterpreted by the MV SMC-Flex control
system.

Motor Overload ProtectionThermal motor overload protection is provided as standard (though it must
be programmed) with the MV SMC-Flex controller. If the overload trip
class is less than the acceleration time of the motor, nuisance tripping may
occur.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Overload protection should be properly coordinated with
the motor to avoid damage to equipment.
Two special applications require consideration: Two-speed Motors, and
Multi-motor Protection.
Two-speed Motors
The MV SMC-Flex controller has overload protection available for single
speed motors. When the MV SMC-Flex controller is applied to a two-speed
motor, the Overload Class parameter must be programmed to OFF, and
separate overload relays must be provided for each speed.
Multi-motor Protection
The MV SMC-Flex controller provides overload protection for only one
motor. When the MV SMC-Flex is controlling more than one motor, the
Overload Class Parameter must be programmed to OFF, and individual
overload protection is required for each motor.

ProgrammingMV SMC-Flex™ Module
Refer to Chapter 4 for programming procedures.
The default (factory) parameter settings are as shown in Appendix B.
Settings may be different on engineered orders, or when option modules or
customer requirements dictate different settings.
Important: The module should be programmed with an understanding of
how the SMC functions, and the characteristics of the motor and driven
load. Inappropriate settings may elicit unexpected results such as lack of
acceleration torque or full-voltage starting. For Pump Control applications,
refer to Application Considerations on page 1-20.
If the factory settings are not suitable for the application, program the
module to meet the application requirements. Contact your local Rockwell
Automation representative or the factory if assistance is required.

Hi-Pot and Megger TestIt is recommended that insulation levels be checked before energizing
power equipment. This may be done with a High Voltage AC insulation
tester (HI-POT) or a Megger. See Vacuum Contactor User Manual for
suggested HI-POT testers, and for test procedures for vacuum contactors.
If using a Megger, a 5000 volt type is recommended.
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Solid-state devices can be destroyed by high voltage.
Use jumper wires between heatsinks to short out the
SCRs before applying high test voltages to the power
circuit. Disconnect the white wires (1L1, 1T1, 1L2,
1T2, 1L3, 1T3) from the voltage feedback board and
remove the plug connector. If voltage transformers are
present, remove one primary fuse from each device. On
the 1503E, consult OEM documentation for location of
voltage feedback board
A T T E N T I O NA T T E N T I O N
Use caution when performing the HI-POT or Megger
Test. High voltage testing is potentially hazardous and
may cause severe burns, injury or death. Where appropriate, the case of the test equipment should be connected
to ground.
Insulation may be tested from phase to phase and phase to ground. The
recommended level for AC HI-POT testing is (2 X VLL) Volts, where V
LL
is the rated line-to-line voltage of the power system. The leakage current
may be recorded for future comparison testing, and must be less than 20 mA.
If a Megger is used, it should indicate 50 k megohms or greater if it is
isolated as explained in the next paragraph. If the motor is connected, the
Megger should indicate 5 k megohms or greater.
1560E-UM050B-EN-P - June 2013
If a 1560E is being tested, it is recommended that the input and output
cables be disconnected for each phase. If a 1562E is being tested, it is
recommended that the main contactor be in the open position, and that the
output cables be disconnected for each phase. (See points marked with an
asterisk * in Figure 3.1) This will ensure the unit is isolated from the line
and the motor. The line and the motor may be tested separately to locate
problem areas. If a 1503E is being tested, consult OEM documentation.
After completing the test, remove all semiconductor jumpers and test the
devices with a multimeter to ensure no damage has occurred from the
insulation test. Reconnect the system as it existed prior to this section.
Perform the power supply and resistance checks in the following sections.

Voltage Sensing ModuleThe voltage-sensing module consists of a voltage sensing board and
mounting plate (refer to Figure 9.2). The voltage sensing board has six
independent channels which convert voltages up to 10800 V (7.2 kV @
1.5 pu) down to low voltage levels which can be used by the SMC-Flex
control logic.
Table 3.B shows the input voltage ranges for each of the input terminals
on the voltage-sensing module. This module has been designed to operate
at a nominal input voltage of up to 7200 V with a continuous 40%
overvoltage. The output voltages are scaled to provide close to 10 V peak
for a 140% input voltage at the high end of each of the voltage ranges.
Each of the channels has four taps to provide a range of input voltages, and
software will be used to scale the output to show the correct value on the
SMC-Flex front panel display. (See Parameter #106 – MV Ratio)

The MV ratios shown above are nominal values and may be fine tuned to
achieve better accuracy on the display of the SMC-Flex control module.
While running the motor in bypass mode, compare the voltage displayed on
the control module to a known accurate meter connected to the same source
voltage as the motor the MV SMC-Flex is controlling. Parameter 106, MV
Ratio, may be changed up or down to match the Flex display to the external
meter. A small change in ratio can make a large change in the display, so 5
units at a time is recommended. Increasing the ratio will decrease the
displayed voltage, and visa versa.
Start-Up1. Remove any temporary jumpers or grounding devices used during
commissioning.
2. Check that all tools are removed from the equipment. Any tools or

Parameter ManagementBefore you begin programming, it is 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 explanations below.
EEPROMRAMROM
EscEscSelSel
Figure 4.3 – Memory Block Diagram
Random Access Memory (RAM)
This is the work area of the controller after it is powered up. When you
modify parameters in the Set Up mode, the new values are stored in RAM.
When power is applied to the controller, parameter values stored in the
EEPROM are copied to RAM. RAM is volatile and the values stored in
this area are lost when the controller is powered down.
Read-only Memory (ROM)
The SMC-Flex controller comes with factory default parameter values.
These settings are stored in nonvolatile ROM and are displayed the first
time you enter the Program mode.
The SMC-Flex controller provides a nonvolatile area for storing usermodified parameter values in the EEPROM.

Saving to EEPROM
To ensure that the newly modified
parameters are not lost if control
power is removed from the
controller, store the values into
EEPROM.
Recalling from EEPROM
Parameters stored in EEPROM can
be manually brought to RAM by
directing the controller to recall the
values in its EEPROM.
Recalling Defaults
After parameter values have been
modified and saved to EEPROM,
factory default settings can still be
re-initialized.
