Soft startersPCS series to 75 kW

PCS overviewThe PCS is a compact, simple to use soft starter product designed for 3 phase motors with ratings of up to 45 kW (3 wire) and 75 kW (6 wire).

Unlike competing compact soft starter products, the PCS controls all three phases to the motor, thereby further extending its application possibilities and minimising thermal stresses on the motor.

The basic PCS soft starter features built-in electronic motor protection with adjustable trip class together with a number of other motor and system protection functions. It also has a built-in bypass contactor, thus providing very low watts loss, smaller footprint dimensions, suitability for high density motor control panels and minimising installed cost.

The multiple starting and stopping modes offered by the PCS as standard make it suitable for a large variety of industrial applications.

The PCS is currently available in 2 voltage ranges, 200…480 V AC (stocked by NHP) and 200…600 V AC (available on indent basis) and are suitable for connection to 50 or 60 Hz supply systems.

Motor startingPCS soft starters provide the user a selection of starting and stopping modes as standard. The ability to select and tailor the starting format ensures the full benefits of soft starting can be achieved in any industrial motor starting application.

Standard starting modesTimed voltage rampThe timed voltage ramp soft start mode offered by the PCS has the most general application. User adjustments for initial torque and start ramp time allow the PCS to be configured for a variety of applications.

The initial torque can be adjusted from 15 % to 65 % of locked rotor torque. The start ramp time can be adjusted from 2 to 30 seconds.

Current limitThe current limit start mode is used when it is necessary to limit the maximum starting current.

The current limit setting can be adjusted to provide 150 %, 250 %, 350 % or 450 % of full load amps during start. The start time is also user adjustable from 2 to 30 seconds.

Note: If the motor is not up to speed after the selected time elapses, the PCS will transition to full voltage.

Timed voltage ramp soft start

Kickstart

KickstartThe kickstart function is intended for use on machines that present a high frictional starting characteristic. It provides a current pulse of 450 % FLC over a user adjustable period of 0 to 1.5 seconds, allowing the motor to develop the additional starting torque required to get the load moving.

Current limit


6

Soft startersPCS series to 75 kW

Standard stopping modesSoft StopThe soft stop function can be used to extend the stopping time of the motor and load. When enabled, the ramp down time can be set to either once, twice or three times the start ramp time setting.

The motor will stop when the output voltage from the PCS reaches the point where the load torque is greater than the motor torque.

PCS protection functionsElectronic motor overload protection with user selectable trip classThe PCS soft starter provides electronic motor overload protection with adjustable trip class and automatic or manual reset selectivity as standard making it extremely versatile.

The motor full load current is user adjusted via a potentiometer located on the front panel. Overload trip class (either OFF, 10, 15 or 20 seconds) and automatic or manual reset operation are DIP switch selectable.

Note: The trip rating is 120 % of potentiometer setting.

Phase sequence protectionThe PCS provides a user selectable (ON or OFF) phase sequence protection function as standard. When selected, the PCS will monitor the incoming phases before application of power to the motor.

Phase loss protectionThe PCS provides phase loss protection as standard to ensure the motor will not attempt to start when there is a power phase missing. This protects the motor from burnout resulting from single phase starting conditions.

Open circuit output/open load protectionThe PCS monitors the motor circuit to ensure the motor is connected throughout all phases of operation.

Phase imbalance protectionThe PCS provides phase imbalance protection as standard. During run it continually monitors motor current through its internal current transformers. To prevent motor over-heating or damage, the PCS will trip if the phase imbalance exceeds specified limits.

Starter over-temperature protectionThe PCS monitors the temperature of its power circuits (SCRs) by means of internal thermistors. When the maximum rated temperature of the power assembly is reached, the PCS switches off and a temperature fault is indicated via LED.

Shorted SCR protectionPrior to every start, the PCS will check the integrity of its power assembly (SCRs) and load connections to the motor. If the PCS detects a shorted SCR and/or open circuit on its output, the start will be aborted. This prevents damage from phase imbalance.

Fault indicationIn all cases, when a fault is detected the PCS will trip in order to protect the motor and illuminate a fault LED. The fault LED is flash coded, to assist the user in identifying the trip cause thus simplifying the troubleshooting process.

PCS set-up procedureQuick and accurate set-up of the PCS is assured through a simple to use combination DIP switch selection panel and potentiometer.

Where only basic soft start and motor protection functionality is required, the user need only set the motor full load current.

PCS optional extrasAuxiliary contactsThe PCS provides 2 output relays as standard, one of which is programmable for instantaneous or up-to-speed operation. Should additional contacts be required, auxiliary contacts are available in a number of configurations.

Remote fault resetRemote reset functionality can be achieved by installing a remote reset magnet onto the PCS. Reset magnets are available for all common AC control voltages.

Protective modulesProtective modules containing metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and snubber networks can be installed to protect the PCS against line transients and electrical noise.

Soft startersCSXi series to 110 kW

CSXi overviewThe CSXi is a compact closed loop controlled current soft starter intended for use with 3 phase motors ranging from 7.5 to 110 kW at 400 V AC. Designed with the ‘first time’ soft start user in mind, the CSXi incorporates a number of unique features aimed specifically at simplifying the installation and commissioning processes while also significantly reducing installed cost. In order to achieve this the CSXi is provided with Equi-Vec balanced vector control technology, a comprehensive array of motor and system protection features including in-built bypass contactor and in-built thermal overload with adjustable trip class, all as standard.

In operation, the CSXi provides smooth acceleration and deceleration of the motor and connected load, thereby minimising the electrical and mechanical stresses that would otherwise be encountered through the use of electromechanical motor starting methods.

Equi-Vec technologyEqui-Vec balanced vector control is state-of-the-art technology developed to enhance the performance of 2 phase soft start controllers. By balancing the current vectors during motor starting, the CSXi is able to provide 3 phase like performance while maintaining the commercial and mechanical advantages normally associated with compact soft starter technology.

In-built motor and system protectionThe CSXi provides a comprehensive array of motor and system protection features to further satisfy the most demanding of industrial motor control applications. This eliminates the need to purchase/install additional devices, thus acting to reduce installed cost.

In-built protection features are summarised as follows;

Q Motor overload (adjustable thermal model)Q Phase loss / imbalanceQ Excess start timeQ Phase sequence / rotationQ Motor thermistor inputQ Power circuit fault (shorted SCR, supply fault)Q Supply frequencyQ Communications failureQ Trip contactQ LED healthy / fault indicators

In-built bypass contactorTo further reduce installation complexity and cost the CSXi is provided with in-built bypass contactor as standard. This eliminates the need for external bypass contactors and/or the need to force ventilate enclosures.

CSXi-007-V4-C1

Standard starting modesConstant current/current limit soft startThe constant current start mode is ideally suited to highly inertial applications. Due to the nature of this starting mode highly inertial loads are brought up to speed in the shortest time possible, thereby minimising thermal stresses on the motor.

Timed current ramp soft startThe timed current ramp start mode allows the user to set minimum starting current, maximum starting current and a start ramp time. This method of starting is proven in applications that present a variable starting torque requirement, for example a conveyor that at times may start fully loaded and at other times will be lightly loaded, or to extend the start time of loads that easily break away.

Standard stopping modesTimed voltage ramp soft stopDuring soft stop, the CSXi gradually decreases output voltage over a user selected ramp time enabling driven machines to be stopped gently. This is of particular advantage in applications where machinery and or product can be adversely affected by sudden stopping. Examples include pumps and conveyors.

Notes: The soft stop feature can be disabled by selecting a ‘0’ stop time. The soft start and soft stop ramp times are independently adjustable.

Protection features further explainedElectronic motor overload protection with user adjustable motor thermal model.The CSXi soft starter provides built-in motor overload protection with adjustable thermal model as standard.

The thermal model allows the user to select the tripping curve which most closely resembles the thermal withstand curve of the connected motor. This eliminates nuisance motor overload tripping, while maximising machine up-time and plant productivity.

User adjustable Motor FLC and thermal model via rotary switches located on the front panel.

Motor thermistor protectionIn order to further enhance motor protection, the CSXi provides an input for direct connection of your motor thermistors.

Phase imbalance protectionThe CSXi offers phase imbalance protection as standard. During both start and run, the CSXi monitors motor current through its internal current transformers. In order to prevent motor damage, burn out or over heating, the CSXi will trip if an imbalance exceeds specified limits or a phase loss occurs.

Power circuit protectionPrior to the application of power to the motor but following a start command, the CSXi monitors its line and load connection and the integrity of its SCRs. Should any abnormality be detected, the CSXi will trip thus ensuring the motor is not compromised.

Excess start time protectionThe CSXi will trip if the starting time exceeds the motor’s safe starting time characteristics, ensuring the motor is not subjected to high currents for an excessive period of time. This feature will also ensure the load is not jammed or too large at start up.

Supply frequency errorThe supply frequency during start and run may vary under some conditions including generator power situations. The CSXi monitors supply frequency to ensure that it is not operating outside its design parameters thus preventing damage to itself and the motor.

Phase sequence protectionPhase sequence protection is of particular advantage in applications that are rotation direction sensitive such as pumps, compressors etc. The CSXi will monitor the incoming phase rotation before application of power to the motor to prevent incorrect rotation of the motor. This feature is user configurable to fwd or any phase sequence application.

Communications failureAutomated plants utilise the communications features of the CSXi. Connection integrity is vital to maintain control and protection of the motor. The CSXi monitors the communications link to maintain supervisory control and displays a fault when a break occurs.

CSXi Set-upAlthough the CSXi offers broad functionality, set-up is a simple process. A series of clearly labelled rotary switches is provided to ensure accurate and repeatable settings are easily made. Simply rotate these to the desired position (no need for a user manual) and you’re ready to go.

Fault and status informationFault and status information is provided by on-board ‘flash coded’ LEDs. In addition, the RCM-02 remote operator is available for those who may require/benefit from remote control and monitoring.

XLR-8 start profile Early acceleration Constant acceleration Late acceleration Start ramp time

Constant currentConstant current is the traditional form of soft starting, which raises the current from zero to a specified level and keeps the current stable at that level until the motor has accelerated. Constant current starting is ideal for applications where the start current must be kept below a particular level.

OverviewThe EMX3 is an advanced digital soft start solution for motors from 7.5 kW to 1500 kW. EMX3 soft starters provide a complete range of motor and system protection features and have been designed for reliable performance in the most demanding installation situations.

Motor startingThe EMX3 puts you truly in control of motor starting. Depending on your application requirements you can select between the two best soft start control methods. For applications requiring precise control of motor start current EMX3 offers a choice of Constant Current or Current Ramp start modes. Or for superior control over acceleration or deceleration choose XLR-8 Adaptive Acceleration Control.

Standard starting modesXLR-8XLR-8 adaptive acceleration control is a new intelligent motor control technique developed by AuCom. In an XLR-8 soft start, the EMX3 adjusts the current in order to start the motor within a specified time and using a selected acceleration profile.Every application has a particular starting profile, based on characteristics of the load and motor. XLR-8 offers three different starting profiles, to suit the requirements of different applications. Selecting an XLR-8 profile that matches the inherent profile of the application can help smooth out acceleration across the full start time. Selecting a dramatically different XLR-8 profile can somewhat neutralise the inherent profile. For example, using a late cubic profile to start an early cubic application will result in a more linear behaviour.

XLR-8 Adaptive acceleration control

Timed current rampCurrent ramp soft starting raises the current from a specified starting level to a maximum limit, over an extended period of time. Current ramp starting can be useful for applications where:Q The load can vary between starts (for example a conveyor

which may start loaded or unloaded). Set the initial current to a level that will start the motor with a light load, and the current limit at a level that will start the motor with a heavy load.

Q The load breaks away easily, but starting time needs to be extended (for example a centrifugal pump where pipeline pressure needs to build up slowly).

Q The electricity supply is limited (for example a generator set), and a slower application of load will allow greater time for the supply to respond.

KickstartKickstart provides a short boost of extra torque at the beginning of a start, and can be used in conjunction with current ramp or constant current starting. Kickstart can be useful to help start loads that require high breakaway torque but then accelerate easily (for example flywheel loads such as presses).

BrakeWhen brake is selected, the EMX3 uses DC injection to slow the motor.

The EMX3 braking:• Does not require the use of a DC brake contactor• Controls all three phases so that the braking currents and

associated heating is evenly distributed through the motor.Braking has two stages: 1. Pre-brake: provides an intermediate level of braking to slow

motor speed to a point where full brake can be operated successfully (approximately 70 % speed).

2. Full brake: brake provides maximum braking torque but is ineffective at speeds greater than approximately 70 %.

Soft starters EMX3 series overview

Standard stopping modesXLR-8 Adaptive deceleration controlIn an XLR-8 soft stop, the EMX3 controls the current in order to stop the motor within a specified time and using a selected deceleration profile. XLR-8 can be useful in extending the stopping time of low interia loads. Every application has a particular stopping profile, based on characteristics of the load and the motor. XLR-8 offers three different stopping profiles.

Early deceleration Constant deceleration Late deceleration Stop time

TVR soft stopTimed voltage ramp reduces the voltage to the motor gradually over a defined time. The load may continue to run after the stop ramp is complete. Timed voltage ramp stopping can be useful for applications where the stop time needs to be extended, or to avoid transients on generator set supplies.

Standard protectionMotor thermal modelThe EMX3 will verify whether the motor has sufficient thermal capacity for a successful start. The soft starter compares the motor’s temperature rise from the last motor start and only operates if the motor is cool enough to start successfully.

Excess start timeExcess start time is the maximum time the EMX3 will attempt to start the motor. If the motor does not reach full speed within the programmed limit, the starter will trip indicating a stalled condition.

Electronic shearpin protectionWith electronic shearpin or instantaneous overcurrent protection the EMX3 can be configured to trip if the average current of all three phases exceeds a specified level while the motor is running. This would usually occur in a ‘stall’ or ‘locked rotor’ condition.

UndercurrentThe soft starter can be configured to trip if the average current of all three phases drops below a specified level while the motor is running. This undercurrent or under-load is usually indicative of a broken coupling between the motor and driven machine, a broken conveyer belt, loss of product or a dry pump.

Mains frequencyThe EMX3 monitors mains frequency throughout operation, and can be configured to trip if the frequency varies beyond a specified tolerance.

Phase sequenceThis feature selects which phase sequences the soft starter will allow at a start. During its pre-start checks, the starter examines the sequence of the phases at its input terminals and trips if the actual sequence does not match the selected option.

Additional standard protectionCurrent imbalanceThe EMX3 can be configured to trip if the currents on the three phases vary from each other by more than a specified amount. The imbalance is calculated as the difference between the highest and lowest currents on all three phases, as a percentage of the highest current.

Auxiliary input tripAuxiliary input trip allows the connection of external fault detection devices, such as low pressure or no flow detectors, vibration sensors, etc.

Motor thermistor inputThe EMX3 has provisions for motor thermistor input and is able to detect excessive temperature in the motor windings generally caused by a stall or from inadequate ventilation.

RS 485 failureThe EMX3’s serial link is provided with a user adjustable time-out function which will trip if the maximum allowable period of RS 485 serial inactivity has been exceeded.

Optional protection functionsGround faultThe optional Ground fault/ RTD card allows the user to configure the soft starter to trip if ground fault exceeds a specified level while the motor is running. Ground fault is a dynamic trip based on phase current measurements every half-cycle.

RTD inputsThe optional Ground fault/RTD card allows the user to connect up to six PT100 RTD directly to the EMX3. This feature enables the EMX3 to measure the temperature of the RTDs and trip if overheating is detected. Trip levels are user programmed.

EMX3 specialist featuresGraphical displayIn many cases we’ve done away with language altogether, using real-time graphs of motor operating performance and current to quickly and clearly illustrate exactly how your motor is performing.

Quick start set-upThe EMX3 has been designed for ease of use, and the user-friendly menu is no exception. A quick setup guide helps you configure the starter for common applications by suggesting a typical setting, which you can then fine tune to suit your needs.

Real language in real timeThe EMX3 gives real-language feedback messages instead of the usual alarm codes. With real-time metering displays and a 99-place event log recording time-stamped details of operation and performance, it has never been easier to track how your motor is behaving.

Remote mounting keypadControl pushbuttons, fault and status information available from the EMX3 can be brought out to the cubicle door via the remote mounting keypad option.

Metering and monitoringEMX3 delivers an extensive range of information to replace an additional powermeter. These include motor temperature, current data, motor power, last start information, date and time, performance graph, SCR conduction, trip log and the user-programmable screen.

SimulationsThe EMX3 simulation functions let you test the soft starter’s operation, external control circuits and associated equipment without connecting the soft starter to line voltage or a motor. The EMX3 has three simulation modes:Run simulation: simulates a motor starting, running and stopping to ensure correct installation.Protection simulation: simulates activation of each protection mechanism to confirm correct protection response.Signaling simulation: simulates output signaling.

Emergency run operationEmergency Run is controlled by a two wire circuit connected to Input A (terminals C53-C54). Closing Input A causes the EMX3 to run the motor and ignore user specified trip conditions. This is useful when the cost of lost production out-weighs the potential cost of further equipment damage.

Unique wiring loomUsing the EMX’s unique and flexible cable ways, cables can be efficiently organised for wiring from either the top, left or from below.

Removable terminal blocksInstallation is easy with plug-in control terminal blocks, simply unplug each block, complete the wiring and re-insert the block.

Adjustable power terminalsThe bus bars on models EMX3-0360C ~ EMX3-1600C can be adjusted for top and bottom input and output giving four options to ease installation. This flexibility allows you optimisation of your switchboard layout.

Optional accessoriesOptional accessories for the EMX3 include the following:Q Communication modules enabling the soft starter to be

controlled by protocols such as DeviceNet™, ProfiBus® and Modbus RTU

Q USB module enables communication between your PC and EMX3 via Win-Master software. Win-master is available free of charge.

Q I/O cards giving an added 2 x inputs, 3 x relay outputs, and 1 x analogue input
