Starting Modes

Innovative control option provides enhanced performance:
Pump Control (Start and Stop Control modes)
These modes, features and options are further described in this chapter.

Soft Start

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.
Figure 1 - Soft Start
(1) This option utilizes gating patterns which result in motor and line currents that produce noise and vibration in the motor and/or
distribution transformer. This must be considered before applying this option.

Selectable Kickstart

(2)
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 user-adjustable from 0.0 to
2.0 seconds.
Figure 2 - Selectable Kickstart
Current Limit Start
(2)
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-to-speed condition during the current limit starting mode, the output voltage automatically switches to full voltage and the bypass contactor is closed.

Preset Slow Speed

This option can be used in applications that require a slow-speed jog for general purpose positioning. Preset Slow Speed provides either 7% of base speed (low) or 15% of base speed (high) settings in the forward direction. Reverse can also be programmed and offers 10% of base speed (low) and 20% of base speed (high) settings.
Figure 6 - Preset Slow Speed Option
Slow speed running is not intended for continuous operation due to reduced motor cooling. The two starts per hour limitation also applies to slow speed operation. This option employs a cycle-skipping scheme which produces limited torque. Applications should be checked with the factory.

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.

Soft Stop

TIP
Linear deceleration does not need to be used, even if linear acceleration is used. The stop time can be programmed for 0 to 120 seconds. Linear deceleration cannot brake the motor/load and reduce the stop time.
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.
ATT EN TI ON : Linear Deceleration is not intended to be used as an emergency stop. Such usage may result in severe injury or death. Refer to the applicable standards for emergency stop requirements.
Soft Stop
This feature can be used in applications that require an extended coast-to-rest time. The voltage ramp-down time is user-adjustable from 0 to 120 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.
Figure 8 - Soft Stop Option
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.

Protection and Diagnostics

The 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 (Refer to Chapter 4, value reaches 100%. The parameters below provide application flexibility and easy setup.

Motor FLC 10 – 2200 amps
Service Factor 0.01 – 1.99
Programming). An Overload Fault will occur when this
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. 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.
2. Automatic reset of an overload fault requires the start input to be cycled in a 2-wire control scheme.
3. The trip rating is 117% of the programmed FLC.

and Figure 10 provide the overload trip curves for the available trip
classes.

Unbalance

(6)
The MV SMC Flex is able to detect an unbalance in line voltages. Motor operation can be halted if the unbalance is greater than the desired range.
The MV SMC Flex controller provides an adjustable unbalance setting from 0 to 25% of the line voltages. Trip delay time can be adjusted from 0 to 99 seconds.
An alarm (pre-fault) indication level can be programmed to indicate the unit is getting close to faulting. The alarm modification information is displayed through the LCD, HIM, Communication (if applicable) and alarm contact closing.

Stall Protection and Jam Detection

The MV SMC Flex controller provides both stall protection and jam detection for enhanced motor and system protection.
Stall protection is user-adjustable from 0.0 to 10.0 seconds (enabled only after the programmed start time expires).
An alarm (pre-fault) indication level can be programmed to indicate the unit is getting close to faulting. The alarm modification information is displayed through the LCD, HIM, Communication (if applicable) and alarm contact closing.
Jam detection allows the user to determine the jam level (up to 1000% of the motor’s full-load current rating) and the delay time (up to 99.0 seconds) for application flexibility.

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 can be 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.
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.
(7) Jam Detection is disabled during slow speed and braking operation.

Product Overview Chapter 1
IMPORTANT
The ground fault inhibit timer starts after the maximum phase of load current transitions from 0A to 30% of the device’s minimum FLA Setting or the GF Curre nt 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.

PTC Trip
The MV SMC Flex will trip with a PTC indication if:
No other fault currently exists
PTC protection is enabled
The resistance across terminals 23 and 24 is either greater than the relay’s
response resistance or less than the short-circuit trip resistance.

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. The Open Gate detection is active during starting or stopping only.

Line Fault (with phase indication)Line voltage lossMissing load connectionShorted SCR
Running protection includes:

Phase reversal protection
can be toggled either ON or OFF.

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.
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 fiber-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 (Refer toTroubleshooting
page 113 for instructions).

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, refer to Chapter 4 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 83 Network or Network NC, they can be controlled over a Network. Please see

Product Overview Chapter 1
IMPORTANT
Network inputs can be obtained through proper programming of Option Input #1 and Option Input #2. (refer to page 159
MV applications have special requirements for isolation and bypass contactors (or circuit breakers). For Firmware up to and including 5.001 the following issues must be considered:
1. AUX1 must be used to control the fully-rated bypass contactor.
Parameters #107 will not be displayed, and defaults to “Ext Bypass”. The functionality of AUX1 is modified for MV operation and behaves similar to, but different from, the “Ext Bypass” or “Up-To-Speed” function of any other AUX relay.
2. AUX4 must be used to control the isolation contactor. Parameter #109
must be set to “Normal”. The functionality of AUX4 is modified for MV operation and behaves similar to, but different from, the “Normal” function of any other AUX relay.
For Firmware 6.001 and later, the definitions of all AUX relays will be the same, and for MV applications will perform with the modified MV functionality.
and page 163 for available options.)

Control Options

1. AUX1 should be used for bypass contactor control, and must be set for
“Ext Bypass”.
2. AUX4 should be used for isolation contactor control, and must be set for
“Normal”.
The MV SMC Flex controller offers the control options described below.
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.
Kickstart is available with this option.

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 stopping 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.
Figure 17 - Pump Control Option
ATT EN TI ON : Pump stopping is not intended to be used as an emergency stop.
Refer to the applicable standard for emergency stop requirements.
ATT EN TI ON : Pump stopping may cause motor heating depending on the mechanical dynamics of the pumping system. Therefore, select the lowest stopping time setting that will satisfactorily stop the pump.

Braking Control Options

The Braking Control options (Smart Motor Braking, Accu-Stop and Slow Speed with Braking) are not offered for standard use in MV applications. Please consult factory for further assistance.

Hardware Description

The 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
Figure 18
and Figure 19, 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 current loop gate driver circuits which derive their power primarily 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.

Current Loop Gate Driver (CLGD) Board

This board provides the turn-on capability for SCR devices. The board also provides optical fiber isolation between itself and the gating source logic. It is primarily powered by recovering energy from the snubber circuit, so it is fully isolated from the control and logic circuits. The board also receives short-term power from the current loop power supply.
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 fiber-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 signaled to stop gating and initiate a temperature fault.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013 21
Chapter 1 Product Overview

Interface Board

This circuit board takes current transformer signals plus line-side and load-side 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 fiber-optic transmitters. The gating signals are sent to the gate-driver circuit board via fiber-optic cables. The interface board also receives temperature feedback from the gate-driver board via fiber-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 37 on page 63

Product Overview Chapter 1

Functional Description

The 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
ATT EN TI ON : The control circuit schematics shown below assume that control power is fed from the same source as the primary circuit. If external control power is used, additional control interlocking may be required to avoid unexpected motor start-up. The control interlock should ensure that a motor start request is not inadvertently applied when the primary circuit is disconnected.
.

Bulletin 1562E • Basic Control – Controlled Start only

When wired as shown in Figure 20, 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 Aux #4 (“Normal”) closes, energizing “M-IV” and “MCX”, 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 “Aux #1” (Ext. Bypass) 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 “Aux #1” 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.

Bulletin 1562E • Basic Control – With Controlled Stop

When wired as shown in Figure 21, the controller operates in much the same manner as in Figure 20
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.
.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013 25
Chapter 1 Product Overview
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; “Aux #4” will open the line contactor immediately, and “Aux #1” will remain closed for 10 seconds to protect the power electronics from any voltage transients due to opening the motor circuits. 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 22 allows the MV SMC Flex to be controlled using DPI (Drive Programming Interface). (Table 16 on page 109 Logic Command Word bits assignment for DPI control.) This special usage of DPI includes provisions for a “Local” mode of control as well.
With the Local-Off-Remote selector switch in the “Remote” position, terminal 18 of the SMC Flex module is energized, allowing a start command to be executed via DPI. When a “Start” is executed, the “Aux #4” contact closes, energizing both “M-IV” and “MCX”. The line contactor closes and the unit initiates a start sequence.
for
When the motor approaches rated speed, the SMC Flex module closes “Aux #1”, energizing “B-IV”, which closes the bypass contactor.
To run in “Local” mode, the “CR” contact is used to initiate a start sequence (similar to Figure 20
A stop command can be generated via DPI or by opening “CR”, depending on the control mode.
).

Bulletin 1562E • DPI Control – With Controlled Stop

The control scheme shown in Figure 23 allows the MV SMC Flex to be controlled using DPI (Drive Programming Interface). (Table 16 on page 109 Logic Command Word bits assignment for DPI control). This special usage of DPI includes provisions for a “Local” mode of control as well.

When the motor approaches rated speed, the SMC Flex module closes “Aux #1”, energizing “B-IV”, which closes the bypass contactor. When a “Stop” is executed, the unit opens “Aux #1”. The bypass contactor opens and the unit initiates a controlled stop sequence, followed by opening of “Aux #4”, which opens the line contactor.
26 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Product Overview Chapter 1
An uncontrolled, or coast stop, can be achieved via DPI or by opening the connection on terminal 18 (i.e. by pressing “Coast Stop” button).
When using the optional HIM, pressing the “Jog” button will initiate the optional stop maneuver, and pressing the “O” button will initiate a coast stop.
To run in “Local” mode, the “CR” contact is used to initiate a start and stop sequence (similar to Figure 21
). An uncontrolled, or coast stop, is achieved by opening the connection on 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 bypass mode, and a trip occurs within the SMC Flex module or from an external protection relay, “Aux #4” will open the line contactor immediately, and “Aux #1” will remain closed for 10 seconds to protect the power electronics from any voltage transients due to opening the motor circuits. A trip due to an overload or fault condition will result in a “Coast” stop.

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 24
, 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 10 seconds to protect the power electronics from any voltage transients due to opening the motor circuits.
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.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013 27
Chapter 1 Product Overview

Bulletin 1560E • Basic Control – With Controlled Stop

When wired as shown in Figure 25, 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.

Bulletin 1560E • DPI Control – Controlled Start only

The control scheme shown in Figure 26 allows the MV SMC Flex to be controlled using DPI. (Refer to Table 16 on page 109 bits assignment for DPI control.) This special usage of DPI includes provisions for a “Local” mode of control as well.
for Logic Command Word
With the Local-Off-Remote selector switch in the “Remote” position, and closure of the existing starter main contactor, terminal 18 is energized, allowing a start command to be executed via DPI. When a “Start” is executed, the “Aux #4” contact closes, which 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 “Aux #1”, energizing “B-IV”, as the motor approaches rated speed.
Local control is enabled with the selector switch in the “Local” position. Closure of the “Start” relay, from the existing starter, allows the unit to initiate motor soft starting.
A stop command can be generated via DPI or by opening “CR”, depending on the control mode.
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.

Product Overview Chapter 1

Bulletin 1560E • DPI Control – With Controlled Stop

The control scheme shown in Figure 27 allows the MV SMC Flex to be controlled using DPI (Drive Programming Interface). (Refer to Table 16 on
page 109 for Logic Command Word bits assignment for DPI control). This
special usage of DPI includes provisions for a “Local” mode of control as well.
With the Local-Off-Remote selector switch in the “Remote” position, terminal 18 of the SMC Flex module is energized, allowing start and stop maneuvers to be executed via DPI. When a “Start” is executed, the “Aux #4” contact closes, which 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 “Aux #1”, energizing “B-IV”, as the motor approaches rated speed. When a “Stop” is executed, the unit opens “Aux #1”. The bypass contactor opens and the unit initiates a controlled stop sequence, followed by opening of “Aux #4”, which opens the main contactor (or breaker) in the existing starter.

Installation
IMPORTANT
ATT EN TI ON : Perform the installation duties correctly. Errors may cause
commissioning delays, equipment damage or personal injury.
For the 1503E, refer to applicable documentation from OEM installation, grounding, interlocking and wiring. This manual should be utilized in conjunction with the OEM supplied documentation, and is suitable for commissioning, programming, calibration, metering, serial communications, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance of a standard solid-state controller.
Chapter 2

Receiving

Safety and Codes

Unpacking and Inspection

It is the responsibility of the user 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.
ATT EN TI ON : The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), National Electrical Code (NEC), or other local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical equipment. Installation MUST comply with specifications regarding wire type, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection, interlocking and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
After unpacking the material, check the item(s) received against the bill of lading to ensure that the nameplate description of each item agrees with the material ordered. Inspect the equipment for physical damage, as stated in the Rockwell Automation Conditions of Sale.
Remove all packing material, wedges, or braces from within the controller. Operate the contactors and relays manually to ensure that they operate freely. Store the equipment in a clean, dry place if it will not be installed immediately after unpacking. The storage temperature must be between -20°C and 75°C (-4°F and 167°F) with a maximum humidity of 95%, non-condensing, to guard against damage to temperature sensitive components in the controller.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013 39
Chapter 2 Installation

General Precautions

In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following statements, which are general to the system, must be read and understood.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 Handling

Installation Site

The controller must be transported on a pallet or via use of the lifting angles supplied as part of all 2.3 m (90 inch) high cabinets or frame units.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.
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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.
Consider 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 buildup.
40 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Installation Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
C. The equipment must be kept clean. Dust buildup 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 1 km (3,300 feet) maximum without derating.
Higher altitudes may require optional components. Please consult Rockwell Automation factory.
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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 the drawings supplied with your order for mounting requirements.

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.
Generally, grounding should be in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) or National Electrical Code (NEC) and other local codes.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013 41
Chapter 2 Installation
TIP
Each power feeder from the substation transformer to the controller must be equipped with properly sized ground cables. Simply utilizing the conduit or cable armor as a ground is not adequate. The conduit or cable armor 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 6.1 m (20 feet) 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 armor should be bonded to ground at both ends.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 Values

Power Connections

When reinstalling components or when reassembling the cabinet, tighten the following bolt sizes to the specified torque values:
Hardware Recommended Torque
1/4 in. (M6) 8 N-m (6 lb-ft)
5/16 in. (M8) 15 N-m (11 lb-ft)
3/8 in. (M10) 27 N-m (20 lb-ft)
1/2 in. (M12) 65 N-m (48 lb-ft)
Control Wire Terminals 2.5 - 4.0 N-m (2.0 - 3.3 lb-in)
CLGD Power Assembly Terminals 5.6 N-m (50 lb-in)
SMC Flex Control Module Terminals 0.6 N-m (5 lb-in)
For 3/8 in. hardware in the “T”-slots of aluminum heatsinks, the recommended torque is 22 N-m (16 lb-ft). Do not overtorque these connections as the slots will be damaged and the connection will be compromised.
The 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.

Bulletin 1562E

The Bulletin 1562E unit is available in two main configurations:
1. A modified two-high cabinet (180/360A, 2400 to 4160V)
2. A combination of a one-high full voltage non-reversing (FVNR) cabinet

IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
For retrofit units (Bul. 1560E), the CEC and NEC require that branch-circuit protection of the AC line input to the controller be provided by a circuit breaker or motor starter. This function is included with a Bulletin 1562E.
The control and signal wires should be positioned at least six (6) inches (150 mm) from power cables. Additional noise suppression practices (including separate steel conduits for signal leads, etc.) are recommended.

Bulletin 1503E

For 1503E, refer to applicable documentation from OEM for installation, grounding, interlocking and wiring. This manual should be utilized in conjunction with the OEM supplied documentation, and is suitable for commissioning, programming, calibration, metering, serial communications, diagnostics, troubleshooting and maintenance of a standard solid-state controller.

Power Wiring

Interlocking

The 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.
Hinged 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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.

Chapter 2 Installation
TIP
TIP
IMPORTANT
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.
An auxiliary cabinet may be attached to the main structure. It will be ram­interlocked with the main power cell door, which will not allow it to be opened until the main power cell door is opened.

Installation

Physical 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) [1/4 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.
Refer to 2-high, Series B drawings in Publication 1500-UM055_-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.
50 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Installation Chapter 2
TIP

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.

Fiber-Optic Cables

The small, gray, fiber-optic cables are fragile and must be protected during installation from sharp bends and impact.

Power Factor Correction Capacitors

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 34
for two different acceptable connection methods.
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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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.
52 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Installation Chapter 2
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 Protection

Thermal 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.
ATT EN TI ON : Overload protection should be properly coordinated with the motor to avoid damage to equipment.
Two special applications require consideration: Two-speed Motors, and Multi­motor 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.

Installation Chapter 2
To meet produce susceptibility requirements, ferrite cores need to be added to the communication lines. All cores specified below are the split core type, so they can be added to existing connections.
– 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 DeviceNet, two cores need to be added to the DeviceNet
cable near the SMC Flex control module. The recommended cores are TDK ZCAT2033 0930H and TDK ZCAT2035 0930 or equivalent.

Control Power

Control Voltage

The SMC Flex controller will accept a control power input of 100 to 240V AC, (-15 / +10%), 1 phase, 50/60 Hz. Refer to the product nameplate to verify the control power input voltage.
Connect control power to the controller at terminals 11 and 12. The control power requirement for the control module is 75 VA. Depending on the specific application, additional control circuit transformer VA capacity may be required.

Programming

60 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013

MV 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.
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 Pump Application
Considerations on page 20 of Chapter 1.
.
Commissioning Procedure Chapter 3
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 Test

It 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.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 (L1, T1, L2, T2, L3, T3) from the voltage sensing 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 sensing board.
ATT EN TI ON : 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 VLL 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.
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 36 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.
ATT EN TI ON : Failure to reconnect all wires and cables correctly may result in equipment damage, personal injury or death.

Power Supply Tests

ATT EN TI ON : Servicing energized industrial control equipment can be
hazardous. Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock, burn, or unintended actuation of controlled equipment. Before proceeding, ensure that all sources of power are isolated and locked out. Verify that all circuits are voltage free using a hot stick or appropriate voltage measuring device. Any covers or barriers removed during this procedure must be replaced and securely fastened before energizing equipment. Where appropriate, the case of test equipment should be connected to ground.
1. Isolate incoming power.
2. Open the door(s) providing access to the SCR/heatsink assemblies. You
will be touching components which are connected to the high voltage power circuit, so be sure to isolate power as stated above.
3. Apply rated control voltage to the control circuits from a separate control source, or by plugging into the test source connector, and selecting the TEST position of the control switch.
4. Check voltage on each gate driver board by connecting a DC voltmeter at TP4(+) and TP3(-). (See Figure 39
.) The voltage should be 18 - 22V DC.
5. Locate the SMC Flex Interface board in the control section (See Figure 37 and Figure 38
). This circuit board has the control module mounted on it. Locate the switch labeled SW2 at the upper left corner of the board. Close the switch by sliding the toggle up. This starts a pulse generator to supply simulated gate-pulse signals via fiber optic cables to the gate driver boards. A red LED beside the switch, and the three yellow LEDs on the left side of the Interface board should be lit. (Note: They may appear dim, depending on ambient light conditions).

6. With the gate pulses on, check the voltage again on each gate driver board as described in Step 4 above. The voltage should be 4 - 5V DC.
7. Locate the Portable Test Power Supply that was included with the equipment, and verify that the rating corresponds to the available power system (i.e. 110/120 VAC or 220/240 VAC). Plug the unit into the power source, and plug the green connector into J1 on each of the gate driver boards (see Figure 39
Figure 39 - Test Power Application on Gate Driver Board
.
8. The yellow LED on the upper right-hand side of the energized gate driver circuit should be lit (it may appear dim, depending on ambient light conditions). While the gate pulses are still on, check the voltage on each gate driver board as described in step 4 above. The voltage should be 10-12V DC. If the voltage is less than 5V, then you have a bad gate drive board. Do not leave the Portable Test Power Supply connected to a bad gate driver board. The power supply adapter will burn up if the gate driver board is shorted.
9. A more detailed check is performed by verifying the actual gate pulses by connecting an oscilloscope between TP1 and TP3 (-) (see Figure 39 check gate pulses, the pulse generator must be enabled (i.e. SW2 toggled up) and the Portable Test Power Supply should be connected to J1. The pulse should appear as shown in Figure 40
). To

10. If no pulse is observed, and the yellow LED is lit, check for a shorted gate on the SCR by removing the green plug and connecting an ohmmeter to the gate leads. If the LED is not lit, and the circuit voltage is as specified in step 8 (above), pinch the tab on the blue fiber-optic connector and carefully pull it straight out of the receiver. The end of the connector should glow red to indicate the presence of a gate signal.
If it does not, remove the other end of the cable from the interface board and check that the gray transmitter is emitting red light. If it is, the fiber-optic cable must be replaced. If it isn’t, the interface board should be replaced.
11. When each gate driver circuit has been checked, disconnect the power supply and remove it from the cabinet.
ATT EN TI ON : The gate-drive circuits operate at high voltage when the SMC is energized. Failure to remove the portable test power supply will result in equipment damage and may cause severe injury or death.
66 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Commissioning Procedure Chapter 3
12. Open the switch SW2 on the interface board (see Figure 38) before returning the unit to service. Ensure the red LED is off.
ATT EN TI ON : If the SW2 switch is not in the open position when the SMC is energized, the motor will start in an uncontrolled manner and may cause severe damage.
13. Check that all plugs and connectors are secure. Retrieve all hardware and tools from the equipment. Replace and secure any barriers removed during servicing and close all doors before applying power.

Control Function Tests

ATT EN TI ON : Servicing energized industrial control equipment can be
hazardous. Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock, burn, or unintended actuation of controlled equipment. Recommended practice is to disconnect and lock out control equipment from power sources, and allow any stored energy in capacitors to dissipate. The safety related work practices of NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces, must be followed if it is necessary to work in the vicinity of energized equipment.
1. Apply rated control voltage to the control circuit.
2. Using the control schematic, apply control signals to cause relays and
contactors to energize, to verify operation.
3. Remove any jumpers used in the test and restore all circuits to normal when finished.

Chapter 3 Commissioning Procedure

Resistance Checks

To ensure that resistors and connections have not been damaged during shipment and installation, the following resistance tests should be performed before energizing the starter.
1. Remove all power from the equipment.
ATTENTION: Verify that all circuits are voltage free using a hot stick or appropriate voltage measuring device. Severe injury or death can result from electrical shock, burn, or unintended actuation of controlled equipment.
2. Measure DC resistance per the following chart:

Voltage Sensing Module

3. If abnormal readings are obtained, refer to Power Circuit Troubleshooting
on page 123 of Chapter 9.
The voltage-sensing module consists of a voltage sensing board and mounting plate (refer to Figure 48 on page 120
). The voltage sensing board has six independent channels, with different sized resistors base on voltage range, which convert voltages up to 10800V (7.2 kV @ 1.5 pu) down to low voltage levels which can be used by the SMC Flex control logic.
Ta b l e 4
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 7200V with a continuous 40% overvoltage. The output voltages are scaled to provide close to 10V peak for a 140% input voltage at the high end of each of the voltage ranges.
68 Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Commissioning Procedure Chapter 3
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)
Table 4 - Input Voltage Ranges
Module Rated Voltage Voltage Range MV Ratio
1500 800-1500 1200
2500 1501-2500 580
4800 2501-4800 324
7200 4801-7200 195
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-Up

1. Remove any temporary jumpers or grounding devices used during commissioning.
2. Check that all tools are removed from the equipment. Any tools or hardware used or dropped during installation and commissioning must be retrieved and accounted for.
3. Check that all barriers or covers removed during installation or commissioning have been securely mounted.
4. Close and secure all doors, and verify function of all interlocks that prevent access to medium voltage compartments when the unit is energized.
5. The controller is ready to power the motor.

EEPROM RAM ROM

Parameter Management

Before 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 44
Figure 44 - Memory Block Diagram
and explanations below.
Esc
Sel

Random Access Memory (RAM)

This is the work area of the controller after it is powered up. When you modify parameters in the Setup 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.

TIP

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM)

The SMC Flex controller provides a nonvolatile area for storing user-modified parameter values in the EEPROM.

Using Parameter Management with DPI HIM

The SMC Flex will automatically save any parameter changes made during the programming process.

Dual Ramp Start

The SMC Flex controller provides the user with the ability to select between two Start settings. The parameters below are available in the Setup programming mode. To obtain Dual Ramp control, Ramp #1 is located in the Basic Setup and Ramp #2 is located in the Option 2 Input (Dual Ramp).
Parameter Option
Set Up
The user must select the Set-up programming mode to obtain access to the Dual Ramp parameters.
Basic Set-up/Starting Mode
Set-up as stated in previous pages.
Option Input 2 (Dual Ramp)
This allows the user the option to choose between two Soft Start profiles defined by:
1. Start Mode/Ramp Time/Initial Torque, and
2. Start Mode 2/Ramp Time 2/Initial Torque 2.
When this feature is turned on, the ramp time/initial torque combination is determined by a hard contact input to terminal 15. When this input signal is low, ramp time/ initial torque are selected. When input signal is high, ramp time 2/initial torque 2 are selected. Once the Option 2 input has been set to Dual Ramp, you must ESC back to the Parameter (File) menu. Re-enter into the Set Up menu to show both Basic Set Up and Dual Ramp.
Basic Set Up/Start Mode
This selects the start mode for option #1.
Basic Set-up/Ramp Time

Full Voltage Start

Linear Speed

The SMC Flex controller may be programmed to provide a full voltage start (output voltage to the motor reaches full voltage within 1/4 second) with the following programming:
Parameter Option
Starting Mode
This must be programmed for Full Voltage.
Full Voltage
The SMC Flex provides the user the ability to control the motor speed during starting and stopping maneuvers. A tach input is required as specified in Linear
Speed Acceleration and Deceleration on page 6 of Chapter 1.
Parameter Option
Starting Mode
This must be programmed for Linear Speed.
Ramp Time
Programs the time period that the controller will ramp from 0 speed to full voltage.
Kickstart Time
A boost of current is provided to the motor for the programmed time period.

Stop Control

(1) For ramp times greater than 30 s, set “Ramp Time” to zero and program “Ramp Time E” (parameter 129) to the new time. Do not
exceed the thermal capacity of the controller.
The SMC Flex can be programmed to extend the motor stop time beyond the normal coast-to-rest time. There are two standard stop modes: Soft Stop and Linear Speed Deceleration.
Parameter Option
Stopping Mode This may be set to one of two
standard choices.
Stop Time Allows the user to set the time period
for the stopping function.
(1) Refer to Chapter 6 for optional stop control modes. (2) A motor tachometer is required (refer to Linear Speed Ac celeration and Decelerat ion on page 6). (3) 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.

Soft Stop Linear Speed
(3)
0 to 120 s
(2)
Options that control the stopping of the motor (Soft Stop, Pump Stop, Linear Speed, Braking) require the self-powered gate drivers to be pre-charged by the current loop power supply. If this supply is not present, an alarm symbol will appear at the upper right corner of the control module display, and the options will be inhibited. When the motor is stopped, it will coast. If the supply is restored, the alarm symbol will be cleared and the module will perform the programmed sequence.
