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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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 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
Running protection includes:
• Line Fault (no phase indication)
– Line voltage loss
– Missing load connection
(8)
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).

All auxiliary contacts can be programmed as NO or NC for the following states
except External Bypass, which can only be programmed as NO.
Normal/Normal NC: The contact state changes when the unit receives a
Start/Stop signal
Up-to-Speed/Up-to-Speed NC: The contact state changes when the motor
approaches rated speed
Alarm/Alarm NC: The contact state changes when an Alarm condition is
detected
Fault/Fault NC: The contact state changes when a Fault condition is detected
Network Control/Network Control NC: The contact state is controlled over
the network. (Refer to Table 16 on page 109
, which describes logic command
word to control auxiliary outputs)
External Bypass: This contact controls the Bypass contactor for MV
applications.
The tag name without a suffix indicates a NO state (e.g. Normal). On the other
hand, a tag name followed by NC indicates a normally closed state (e.g. Normal
NC).

Product OverviewChapter 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.

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 201321
Chapter 1Product 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 OverviewChapter 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 201325
Chapter 1Product 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.
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,
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. 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.
26Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
Product OverviewChapter 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 201327
Chapter 1Product 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.

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.
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.
An uncontrolled, or coast stop, can be achieved via DPI or by opening the
connection on terminal 18 (i.e. by energizing “Coast Stop” relay in the existing
starter).
To run in “Local” mode, the “CR” contact is used to initiate a start and stop
sequence (similar to Figure 25
). Closure of the “Start” relay from the existing
starter, allows the unit to initiate motor soft starting. Likewise, opening of “Start”
relay from the existing starter will initiate a controlled stop. An uncontrolled, or
coast stop, is achieved by opening the connection on terminal 17 (i.e. by
energizing “Coast Stop” relay in the existing starter). This contact should remain

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 201339
Chapter 2Installation
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.
40Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
InstallationChapter 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.
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 201341
Chapter 2Installation
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:
HardwareRecommended 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 Terminals2.5 - 4.0 N-m (2.0 - 3.3 lb-in)
CLGD Power Assembly Terminals5.6 N-m (50 lb-in)
SMC Flex Control Module Terminals0.6 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
and a 1560E unit (600A, 2400 to 4160V, and 180/360/600A, 5500 to
6900V)
42Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
InstallationChapter 2
TIP
To make power connections for a two-high cabinet, refer to Figure 28 to
Figure 30
, and Publication 1500-UM055_-EN-P (Chapter 2).
ATT EN TI ON : Bulletin 1562E units provided with an arc resistant enclosure must
be installed in accordance with instructions in Publication 1500-UM055_-EN-P.
Failure to do so may result in damage to equipment or personal injury.
To make power connections for a one-high FVNR cabinet and a 1560E unit,
proceed as follows:
• Make line connections within the one-high cabinet
• Make load connections at the 1512 CT terminals
Bulletin 1560E
Refer to Figure 31 to Figure 33 to make power connection for a 1560E unit
(depending on the rating of the unit).
• Make line connections to the line connection terminals
• Make load connections to the current transformer terminals
The CT assembly can be oriented to allow either top or bottom load cable exit.

InstallationChapter 2
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.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 201349
Chapter 2Installation
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

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.

InstallationChapter 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.
52Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
InstallationChapter 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.

Programming
60Rockwell 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 ProcedureChapter 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

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.

Commissioning ProcedureChapter 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.

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.

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.

Commissioning ProcedureChapter 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)

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.

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.
76Rockwell Automation Publication 1560E-UM051F-EN-P - June 2013
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.
Memory Storage and Parameter Management perform the same function of
resetting to defaults.
