1.2.1 The SAMMS-LV Device Models

The SAMMS-LV device is available in two models: SAMMS-LVE and SAMMS-LVX. Each model meets the various demands of industrial and commercial specifications and installations. Table 1.2 compares the features of each model.

The SAMMS-LV device is designed for critical process control where prevention of downtime is critical. It offers motor control and protection along with motor diagnostic and motor/driven equipment protection. Engineering and operating personnel have access to important data enabling them to optimize motor-driven equipment capabilities, maximize the process system output and facilitate maintenance.

SAMMS-LVX is a full function model, applicable to all control needs, from a simple across-the-line unit to a more complicated reduced voltage scheme. It includes all of the functions listed in table 3.7. Any of the standard control circuits listed in table 3.3, or a custom circuit, may be downloaded. The SAMMS-LVX device accepts up to four remote inputs, while SAMMS-LVE accepts two remote inputs.

SAMMS-LVE is a model of SAMMS-LV tailored to across-the- line (FVNR) applications. It provides all of the protective functions of the SAMMS-LVX device, except that it has no jam

protection (F23), loss of load protection/alarm (F24), or process current warning (F22) functions. Functions F3 and F5 associated with two-speed applications are not available. No provision for automatic reset (F8) is provided. SAMMS-LVE accepts two remote inputs, and provides one output to actuate a single contactor. An alarm contact is not available with SAMMS-LVE.

The SAMMS remote inputs are compatible with all PLCs and electromechanical remote control devices that have a 120VAC or 125VDC output signal.

1.2.2 Advanced Protection for Low-Voltage Motors

For advanced protection of low voltage motors, the SAMMS-LV device uses a motor model algorithm that continually calculates the stator winding and housing temperature as a function of the motor rms current. The motor model compares the calculated temperature to trip temperature values and provides a signal that trips the motor off line when the motor reaches a trip temperature value. The model closely emulates the heating and cooling of the motor windings and provides protection against both transient and steady-state overload conditions.

1 Introduction

Figure 1.2 Hand-Held Communicator (HHC)

1.2.3 Overload Protection

The motor model offers the selection of overload classes 2 through 23.

The SAMMS-LV device offers more accurate motor protection than traditional thermal overload and most electronic motor protection devices. This prolongs motor life by eliminating nuisance tripping for multiple restarts, and allowing for proper cool down time when the motor winding temperature reaches a critically high value.

1.2.4 Programming Control Circuits

The SAMMS-LV device allows you to modify its configuration by programming the microprocessor. The SAMMS-LV device replaces conventional timers, overload relays, pushbuttons, and selector switches.

SAMMS-LVE is preloaded with seven across-the-line control circuits, and the desired control circuit can be selected using the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC.) Alternatively, a custom across-the-line circuit may be downloaded from a PC.

A library of more than 70 typical control circuits exists for use with SAMMS-LVX to meet applications ranging from simple

across-the-line starters to complicated reduced-voltage starters. With optional software, the specified control circuit can be loaded either from the library or from a modified version into the microprocessor’s memory, in the factory or on site, using an IBM®-PC compatible computer. If you would like to learn more about this software package, refer to SAMMS Custom Software Manual, Bulletin CP 3291.

Highly specialized control circuits can be developed and existing circuits can be modified using an optional IBM-PC compatible software package. This software uses conventional engineering symbols along with pull-down menus and a mouse to draw ladder diagrams. When you have finished drawing the diagram, the software translates the diagram into microprocessor machine code and downloads it into the SAMMS-LV device’s memory.

1.2.5 Using the Standardized Control Panel

The SAMMS-LV device can be used for local and/or remote control. The SAMMS-LVE device provides two light bars, while the SAMMS-LVX model provides three light bars. Each model includes six pushbuttons with lights and tactile feedback. These light bars and pushbuttons are programmed for the various functions of the control circuit used.

The test/reset button is used to test and reset the overload function and to test the front panel lights.

Diagnostics

Eight diagnostic LEDs, located on the front panel, provide information about conditions affecting the motor.

Statistical Data about the Motor

The microprocessor’s memory stores statistical data about the motor and displays this data on the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC).

Real-Time Metering Data

The Hand-Held Communicator displays real-time metering data.

Local Displaying of Motor and Circuit Data

The HHC and the eight (8) diagnostic LEDs display motor and control circuit data. The eight (8) diagnostic LEDs are located on the front panel of the device.

Communicating with Other Devices

The SAMMS-LV device communicates with other devices via the ACCESS system. When connected to the ACCESS system, the SAMMS-LV device provides two-way communication with the Power Monitor™ display and monitoring unit, an IBM PCcompatible computer running the Power Monitor PC™ communications and supervisory software or another supervisory device. This ability allows you to control and monitor motors from a centralized location. You can have remote access to all SAMMS-LV data such as diagnostics, statistical data, real-time metering, and controller status. If you would like to learn more about the ACCESS system, refer to Installing the ACCESS System (manual no. SG-6028).

2 Installing the SAMMS-LV Device

This section provides instructions for installing the SAMMS-LV device. You should adapt these instructions to suit the needs of your installation and equipment.

2.1 Receiving and Storing the

SAMMS-LV Device

Thoroughly inspect the equipment before accepting the shipment from the transportation company. Compare each item received against the packing list and report any shortages or damaged equipment to the carrier.

If you are not going to install the SAMMS-LV device immediately, store it in a clean, dry location at ambient temperatures from -40° C to 85° C. The surrounding air should not contain any corrosive fumes or electrically conductive contaminants. The storage location should prevent condensation from forming within the equipment enclosure.

Note: Improper storage can cause equipment damage. Follow all storage instructions carefully. Failure to follow storage instructions will void the warranty.

2.2 Where to Locate the Device

You can locate the SAMMS-LV device and its associated devices in most industrial equipment environments. Unless the device is designed for specific requirements, you should install the SAMMS-LV device and its controller in an area where the following conditions exist:

Ambient air must be free of dirt, combustible vapor, steam, electrically conductive or corrosive material.

Area around the controller must provide access to the equipment for inspection, maintenance and operation.

2.3 Mounting the Device

The SAMMS-LV device mounts in a front door of Siemens motor control center (MCC), or on the front door of any motor controller.

2.4 Connecting the Device

This section contains general guidelines that you should follow to connect the SAMMS-LV device. These guidelines include instructions for routing the wiring, connecting the wires and grounding the device. Use these guidelines to install the SAMMS-LV device and its peripheral devices in a motor controller. Also use these guidelines to connect the motor controller to the motor.

When Siemens supplies a SAMMS-LV device as part of a motor controller, Siemens personnel install the wiring between the SAMMS-LV device and its peripheral devices in the motor controller at the factory. The schematic diagram used contains three components: a connection diagram, a ladder diagram

and a wiring diagram. The connection diagram illustrates the connections between the SAMMS-LV device and its peripheral devices. The ladder diagram illustrates the control circuit loaded into the SAMMS-LV device. Figure 2-1 shows a typical connection diagram for the SAMMS-LV device.

If Siemens does not supply the motor controller, the retrofitter or original equipment manufacturer should develop an equivalent electrical scheme.

2.4.1 Wiring Guidelines

You must observe the following guidelines when installing the SAMMS-LV device and connecting it with its peripheral devices.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause pickup of unwanted signals resulting in erratic operation and damage to the SAMMS-LV device.

Guideline 1: Separate the low-voltage (115 VAC or less) from the higher voltage conductors (460 VAC or higher) as much as possible. If low-voltage and medium-voltage wires must cross paths, make sure that they intersect at a right angle.

Guideline 2: To eliminate noise coupling, install all twisted pairs or wrap wires in such a way that a complete twist or wrap occurs at least every two inches.

Guideline 3: Place the low-voltage leads near the controller chassis.

Guideline 4: Use at least AWG 14 stranded copper wire for any low-voltage control wiring that you route outside the motor controller enclosure. Connections to the SAMMS-LV unit must be made with wire no larger than AWG 14.

Guideline 5: To avoid ground loops, ground each motor controller at a single ground point.

The top portion of the device contains 16 terminal locations for connecting control power leads, power supply, ground, inputs and outputs. (Refer to Figure 2.2 for a description of each terminal block assignment.)

3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device

3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device

This section explains how to operate the SAMMS-LV device. Operation of the device requires that the unit have control power (12VAC) applied to terminals 5-6. Most operations also require use of the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC). Use of the HHC is described in detail in section 3.27.

3.1 Password Protection

Changing the settings of the SAMMS-LV device requires the use of the Hand-Held Communicator (HHC) in the program mode. To access the program mode, the user needs a password. The SAMMS-LV device is shipped from the factory with the password “0000.” This password can be changed by the user as described in section 3.28.1. Display of data using the HHC does not require use of a password.

3.2 Using the Reset/Test Push Button

The Reset/Test pushbutton is located at the bottom center of the front panel of the SAMMS-LV device as illustrated in Figure 3.1. You press this pushbutton to manually reset the SAMMS-LV device after a fault or a trip condition occurs so that the motor can be restarted. You can also use the Reset/Test pushbutton to perform a lamp test or an overload relay test.

3.2.1 Performing a Lamp Test

To test the diagnostic LEDs, the control LEDs and the light bars on the front panel, use the following procedure:

1.Press and hold the Reset/Test pushbutton for one to two seconds.

2.Release the Reset/Test pushbutton. (All LEDs and light bars on the front panel illuminate for two seconds.)

If a fault or trip condition exists when you press the Reset/Test pushbutton, the device performs a reset instead of a lamp test.

3.2.2 Performing an Overload Relay Test

You may perform an overload relay test whenever the motor is stopped. Use the following procedure to perform an overload relay test.

1.Press and hold the Reset/Test pushbutton for at least the duration of the class time. The class time is set by accessing function F7. If you need to know how to access function F7, see Section 3.28. If you release the Reset/Test pushbutton before the duration of the class time, the device performs a lamp test. If a fault or trip condition exists when you press the Reset/Test pushbutton, the device performs a reset instead of a lamp test.

2.Continue to hold down the Reset/Test pushbutton. After reaching the class time duration, the Impending Trip and the Phase Unbalance LEDs illuminate.

3.Release the Reset/Test pushbutton. The Impending Trip and Phase Unbalance LEDs go off, and the Overload Trip LED illuminates for two seconds. If the SAMMS-LV device is tripped, it is automatically reset at the end of the overload relay test.

Note that this test checks the electronic circuitry, but does not replace a test in which actual power current is passed through the primary circuit.

Use the following procedure to reset the SAMMS-LV device after a trip event.

1.Press the Reset/Test pushbutton.

2.Release the Reset/Test pushbutton. The device resets the alarm LEDs. If the motor has cooled sufficiently, you can restart the motor.

3.3 Motor Control

You can configure the SAMMS-LV device to perform many motor starting and control functions. These functions include basic across-the-line, to more complicated reversing, twospeed, and reduced-voltage starting. The SAMMS-LV device stores in its memory the executable code representing the ladder diagram for the user’s control application. The SAMMS-LV device and ladder diagram code replace the conventional control logic defined by wired interconnection of electromechanical timers, control relays, pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot lights. A library of over 70 standard ladder diagrams available for the SAMMS-LV device covers most applications. In addition to the standard ladders, you can construct custom ladder diagrams, using optional software, to handle special applications.

Figures 3.2 and 3.3 illustrate the ladder symbols representing input and output devices available for the SAMMS-LV device. The circular symbols represent output devices such as contactor coil drivers, pilot LEDs on the front panel of the SAMMS-LV device, software time-delay relays and software control relays. All other symbols represent input devices such as software auxiliary contacts, remote AC inputs, front-panel pushbuttons, and software timer instantaneous and timed contacts.

3.4 Output Devices

You can use the following SAMMS-LV output devices:

AC Outputs

The SAMMS-LVX device provides up to three AC coil drivers capable of driving contactors up to size 6, while SAMMS-LVE provides one coil driver.

Control Relays

The device provides up to eight software-controlled relays. These relays are helpful in local two-wire and other applications requiring maintained contacts.

Timing Relays

The SAMMS-LV device contains four internal software timing relays. You can configure all four timers as on-delay timers; however, if needed, you can configure the two adjustable timers (timing relays TR1 and TR2) as either on-delay or off-delay timers. Using the Hand Held Communicator, you can program timing relays TR1 and TR2 from 0 through 200 seconds (functions F13 and F14). Timing relay TR3 has a fixed 1 second delay, and timing relay TR4 has a fixed 30 seconds delay. Table 3.1 illustrates the type of timers used on the device and their ranges.

Table 3.1 Types of software timing relays

Pilot LEDs

The SAMMS-LVX device contains three light bars on the front panel, while the SAMMS-LVE contains two light bars. Light bar L1 is reserved and must be used as the STOP or OFF LED. You can configure L2 and L3 at your discretion. The Hand, Off and Auto LEDs correspond to the Hand, Off and Auto pushbuttons on the front panel as illustrated in Figure 3.4. You can use the Incomplete Sequence LED in reduced-voltage applications or to verify contactor operation. Refer to Figure 3.4 for the location of the LEDs and Table 3.2 for a description of the LED states.

Flashing Pilot LEDs

The front panel contains two or three flashing light bars that indicate various conditions such as on-delay timing. These flashing light bars, L1, L2 and L3 as defined above, indicate different output devices if they are flashing rather than if they are on constantly. Refer to Figure 3.4 for an illustration of pilot LEDs.

3.5 Input Devices

You can use the following input devices with the SAMMS-LV device.

Remote AC Inputs

For SAMMS-LVX you can use four 120 VAC or VDC inputs for remote control, or you can use two inputs for SAMMS-LVE.

Front Panel Pushbuttons

The SAMMS-LV device has six front-panel pushbuttons for local control of the device. You must use pushbutton 1 (PB1) for stopping the motor. You must use three of the pushbuttons (PB4-PB6) for the Hand, Off and Auto functions if these functions are used in your configuration. If these functions are not used, you may use PB4-PB6 for other functions. You can configure the other two pushbuttons (PB2 and PB3) at your discretion. Refer to Figure 3.4 for assignment of pushbuttons. Insert labels are used to identify the function associated with each pushbutton or light bar.

Software Auxiliary Contacts

Any number of internal (software) auxiliary contacts can be configured. These contacts show either a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) status. You can set up these auxiliary contacts using the SAMMS-LV software. Through the SAMMS-LV software, the pilot LEDs also have auxiliary contacts.

Software Timer Inputs

Each timer has an unlimited number of normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts. Timers configured as on-delay timers have an unlimited supply of normally open timed-closed (NOTC), and normally closed timed-open (NCTO) contacts. Timers configured as off-delay timers have an unlimited supply of normally open timed-open (NOTO), and normally closed timed-closed (NCTC) contacts.

Communications Inputs

A serial, RS-485 communications port is located on the back of the device for external communications.

The communications inputs must be included in the ladder logic (control circuit).

3.6 Ladder Diagrams

3.6.1 Library of Standard Ladder Diagrams

The SAMMS-LV library of more than 70 ladder diagrams covers most standard motor control applications. Table 3.3 lists the standard control circuits and the input and output assignments for the library. You can use the library with the following starter types:

across-the-line, non-reversing

across-the-line, reversing

two-speed, two winding

two-speed, one-winding, constant or variable torque

two-speed, one-winding, constant horsepower

reduced-voltage, autotransformer (size 2 through 4)

reduced-voltage, autotransformer (sizes 5 and 6)

full-voltage, part winding

wye-delta, open transition

wye-delta, closed transition

For each starter type, the library includes seven control types:

local two-wire

local three-wire

local three-wire, remote two-wire

local two-wire, remote two-wire

local three-wire, remote three-wire

remote two-wire

remote three-wire

SAMMS-LVE has seven preloaded circuits (ladder diagrams) for use with across-the-line (FVNR) applications. SAMMS-LVX may be used with any of the circuits.

For details on the library of standard ladder diagrams, refer to the SAMMS Standard Circuit Manual.

3.6.2 Custom Ladder Diagrams

For special motor control applications not covered by the library of standard ladders, you can construct custom ladder diagrams using the input and output devices and their associated symbols for the SAMMS-LV device. Siemens personnel can build these custom ladder diagrams or you can build your own. You can purchase an optional IBM PC-compatible software package to develop custom ladder diagrams for special control applications. The package also includes a library of standard symbols. The package enables you to reconfigure existing SAMMS-LV devices to meet changing plant needs. Refer to the Custom Software Manual for the SAMMS device, Bulletin CP 3291.
