3 - INSTALLATION INSTALLATI 3 ON Before You Start 3.1 Before You Start 3.1.1 Inspection 2 Before storing or installing the RediStart MX Series Starter, thoroughly inspect the device for possible shipping damage. Upon receipt: • Remove the starter from its package and inspect exterior for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, notify the shipping agent and your sales representative. • Open the enclosure and inspect the starter for any apparent damage or foreign objects.
3 - INSTALLATION Installation Considerations 3.2 Installation Considerations 3.2.1 Site Preparation General Information Before the starter can be installed, the installation site must be prepared. The customer is responsible for: • Providing the correct power source. • Providing the correct power protection. • Selecting the control mechanism.
3 - INSTALLATION Mounting Considerations 3.3 Mounting Considerations 3.3.1 Bypassed Starters Provisions should be made to ensure that the average temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C. If the temperature inside the enclosure is too high, the starter can be damaged or the operational life can be reduced. 3.3.2 Non-Bypassed Starters Provisions should be made to ensure that the temperature inside the enclosure never rises above 50°C.
3 - INSTALLATION Wiring Considerations 3.4 Wiring Considerations 3.4.1 Wiring Practices When making power and control signal connections, the following should be observed: • Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V, or T3/W. • Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other wiring. Do not run control wiring in the same conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits.

7 - THEORY OF OPERATION THEORY7 OF OPERATION Motor Overload 7.1 7.1.1 Solid State Motor Overload Protection Overview 2 2 2 The MX contains an advanced I t electronic motor overload (OL) protection function. For optimal motor protection, the MX has forty standard NEMA style overload curves (in steps of one) available for use. Separate overload classes can be programmed for acceleration 2 and for normal running operation and individually or completely disabled if necessary.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Figure 25: Commonly Used Overload Curves 10000 Seconds to Trip 1000 100 Class 40 Class 35 Class 30 Class 25 Class 20 10 Class 15 Class 10 Class 5 1 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 800 Current % (FLA) z NOTE: In some cases the power stack rating may determine what motor overload settings are available. Each power stack is designed to support specific motor overload classes.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.1.3 Motor Overload Operation Overload Heating When the motor is operating in the overloaded condition (motor current greater than FLAxSF), the motor overload content accumulates based on the starter’s operating mode at a rate established by the overload protection class chosen. The accumulated overload content can be viewed on the display or over the communications network.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.1.5 Harmonic Compensation 2 The MX motor overload calculation automatically compensates for the additional motor heating that can result from the presence of harmonics. Harmonics can be generated by other loads connected to the supply such as DC drives, AC variable frequency drives, arc lighting, uninterruptible power supplies, and other similar loads. 7.1.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION The following diagram illustrates how the current and the Motor Overload Hot/Cold Ratio parameter determines the steady state overload content. It assumes there is no current imbalance. Figure 27: Motor Overload H© Ratio Example 100%FLA Motor Current 50%FLA 0%FLA 80 % OL H/C Ratio 30 % 0% 80 % Motor Overload Content 40 % 30 % 15 % 0% T0 T1 T2 T3 At time T0, the motor current is 100%FLA and the OL H© Ratio is set at 30%.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Motor Cooling While Stopped The Motor Overload Cooling Time parameter is used to adjust the cooling rate of the motor overload. When the motor is stopped and cooling, the accumulated motor overload content is reduced in an exponential manner. 5 OL Content = OL Content when Stopped * e CoolingTim e t When the motor is stopped, the motor overload cools as shown in the following Figure 28.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION If the motor manufacturer does not specify the motor cooling time, the following approximations for standard TEFC cast iron motors based on frame size can be used: Frame Size Cooling Time 180 30 min 280 60 min 360 90 min 400/440 120 min 500 180 min Larger frames Consult Manufacturer For motors less than 300hp, another approximation based on allowable motor starts per hour can also be used to set an initial value of the Motor Overload Cooling Time parameter: Motor Coo
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Motor Service Factor 7.2 General Motor Service Factor The Motor Service Factor parameter should be set to the service factor of the motor. The service factor is used to determine the "pick up" point for the overload calculations. If the service factor of the motor is not known then the service factor should be set to 1.00. z NOTE: The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow the service factor to be set above 1.40.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Acceleration Control 7.3 Acceleration Control 7.3.1 Current Ramp Settings, Ramps and Times General The current ramp sets how the motor accelerates. The current ramp is a linear increase in current from the initial setting to the maximum setting. The ramp time sets the speed of this linear current increase. The following figure shows the relationships of these different ramp settings.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Ramp Time The ramp time is the time it takes for the current to go from the initial current to the maximum current. To make the motor accelerate faster, decrease the ramp time. To make the motor accelerate slower, increase the ramp time. If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed, the starter maintains the maximum current level until either the motor reaches full speed, the Up to Speed time expires, or the motor thermal overload trips.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION TruTorque acceleration control can be very useful for a variety of applications. However it is best used to start centrifugal pumps, fans, and other variable torque applications. TruTorque generally should not be used in applications where the starting load varies greatly during the start such as with a reciprocating compressor, where the starting load is very low, or where the starting load varies greatly from one start to another.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.3.4 Power Control Acceleration Settings and Times General Power control is a closed loop power based acceleration control. The primary purpose of Power controlled acceleration is to control and limit the power (kW) drawn from the power system and to reduce the power surge that may occur as an AC induction motor comes up to speed. This power surge can be a problem in applications that are operated on generators or other limited or "soft" power systems.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION z NOTE: Depending on loading, the motor may achieve full speed at any time during the Power ramp. This means that the Maximum Power level may not be reached. Therefore, the maximum power level is the maximum power level that is permitted. However, the motor power may not necessarily reach this value during all starts. Ramp Time When in Power acceleration mode, the ramp time setting is the time it takes for the power to go from the initial power setting to the maximum power setting.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.3.5 Open Loop Voltage Ramps and Times General The open loop voltage ramp provides soft starting of a motor by increasing the voltage applied to motor from the Initial Voltage setting to full (100%) line voltage. The ramp time sets the speed at which the voltage is increased. Because this is an open loop control profile, the motor current during starting tends to be reduced; however, the current is not limited to any particular level.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION UTS Timer When the start mode is set to open-loop voltage ramp acceleration, the UTS Timer acts as an acceleration kick. When the UTS timer expires, full voltage is applied to the motor. This feature can be used to reduce motor surging that may occur near the end of an open loop voltage ramp start. If a surge occurs near the end of the ramp, set the UTS timer to expire at this time and restart the motor.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.3.6 Dual Acceleration Ramp Control General Two independent current ramps and kick currents may be programmed. The use of two different starting profiles can be very useful with applications that have varying starting loads such as conveyors that can start either loaded or unloaded. The Current Ramp 1 profile is programmed using the parameters Initial Current 1, Maximum Current 1, and Ramp Time 1.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Changing Ramp Profiles The selected ramp profile may be changed during starting by changing the Ramp Select input. When the Ramp Select input changes during ramping, control switches to the other profile as if it were already in progress. It does not switch to the beginning of the other profile. Refer to the following example below: z NOTE: Once the motor has achieved an up-to-speed status (UTS), changes to the Ramp Select input have no effect on the motor operation.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Deceleration Control 7.4 Deceleration Control 7.4.1 Voltage Control Deceleration Overview 2 2 The deceleration control on the MX uses an open loop voltage ramp. The MX ramps the voltage down to decelerate the motor. The curve shows the motor voltage versus the decel setting. Figure 35: Motor Voltage Versus Decel Level Beginning Level This sets the starting voltage of the deceleration ramp.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.4.2 TruTorque Deceleration Overview TruTorque deceleration control is a closed loop deceleration control. This allows TruTorque deceleration to be more consistent in cases of changing line voltage levels and varying motor load conditions. TruTorque deceleration is best suited to pumping and compressor applications where pressure surges, such as water 2 hammer, must be eliminated. The MX linearly reduces the motor's torque to smoothly decelerate the motor and load.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Braking Controls 7.5 Braking Controls 2 Overview When the Stop Mode parameter is set to DC Brake, the MX starter provides DC injection braking for fast and 2 frictionless braking of a three-phase motor. The MX starter applies a controlled DC current to the motor in order to induce a stationary magnetic field that then exerts a braking torque on the motor's rotating rotor.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.5.1 DC Injection Braking, Standard Duty 2 2 The MX Standard Duty Braking allows up to approximately 250% FLA current to be applied to the motor. The MX Standard Duty package consists of an extra braking contactor that shorts Motor Terminals 2 & 3 together while braking, as DC current is applied by the 2 MX starter to provide moderate braking torque. CAUTION: Contactor MUST NOT short phase T1 and phase T3. z NOTE: Contactor sizing requires AC1 contactor rating (Motor FLA / 1.6).
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.5.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.5.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.5.7 DC Injection Brake Enable and Disable Digital Inputs Digital inputs can be programmed to either a Brake Enable or a Brake Disable. In the Brake Enable case the digital input must be energized for DC braking to occur. The braking will immediately stop if the brake enable is de-energized. In the Brake Disable case, DC braking will occur unless the Brake Disable digital input is energized. DC braking will cease if the brake disable is energized.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.5.9 DC Injection Braking Parameters Brake Level: The DC Brake Level parameter sets the level of DC current applied to the motor during braking. The desired brake level is determined by the combination of the system inertia, system friction, and the desired braking time. If the motor is braking too fast the level should be reduced. If the motor is not braking fast enough the level should be increased.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.6.2 Slow Speed Cyclo Converter Parameters Slow Speed: The Slow Speed parameter selects the speed of motor operation when slow speed is selected. When set to Off, slow speed operation is disabled. Slow Speed Current Level: The Slow Speed Current Level parameter selects the level of current applied to the motor during slow speed operation. The parameter is set as a percentage of motor full load amps (FLA).
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Inside Delta Connected Starter 7.7 Inside Delta Connected Starter There are differences between a line connected soft starter as shown in Figure 39 and the inside delta connected soft starter as shown in Figure 40 that need to be considered. By observation of Figure 40, access to all six stator-winding terminals is required for an inside delta application. For a 12-lead motor, all 12 stator terminals must be accessible.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.7.2 Inside Delta Connected Starter An inside delta connected soft starter is shown in Figure 40, where the power poles are connected in series with the stator windings of a delta connected motor. Figure 40: Typical Inside Delta Motor Connection For an inside delta connected motor, the starter current is less than the line current by a factor of 1.55 (FLA/1.55).
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Wye Delta Starter 7.8 Wye Delta Starter 2 When the Starter Type parameter is set to Wye-Delta, the MX is configured to operate an Electro mechanical Wye-Delta (Star-Delta) 2 starter. When in Wye-Delta mode, all MX motor and starter protective functions except bad SCR detection and power stack overload, are available to provide full motor and starter protection. A typical closed transition Wye-Delta starter schematic is shown in the following figure.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 2 The MX utilizes an intelligent Wye to Delta transition algorithm. During starting, if the measured motor current drops below 85% of FLA and more than 25% of the Up To Speed timer setting has elapsed, then a Wye to Delta transition occurs. The intelligent transition algorithm prevents unnecessarily long motor starts which reduces motor heating. If a Wye to Delta transition has not already occurred, a transition always occurs when the complete Up To Speed Time expires.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 2 Usually the MX intelligent Wye to Delta transition algorithm provides an optimal transition point that minimizes the transient current and torque surges that can occur. However, the Wye to Delta transition will occur when the Up To Speed Time parameter has expired.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Across The Line Starter 7.9 Across The Line (Full Voltage Starter) 2 When the Starter Type parameter is set to ATL, the MX is configured to operate an Electro mechanical full voltage or across-the-line (ATL) starter. 2 In the ATL configuration, the MX assumes that the motor contactor (1M) is directly controlled by an output relay that is programmed to RUN.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Single Phase Soft Starter 7.10 Single Phase Soft Starter There are times a single phase motor may need to be started using a soft starter. This can be accomplished with any 3 phase starter with the following modifications to the starter. • • • • • Connect Line power to terminals L1 and L3.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Phase Control Phase Control 2 When the Starter Type parameter is set to Phase Control, the MX is configured to operate as a phase controller or voltage follower. This is an open loop control mode. When a start command is given, the RUN programmed relays energize. The firing angles of the SCRs are directly controlled based on voltage or current applied to the Analog Input. Phase control can be used to directly control the voltage applied to motors, resistive heaters, etc.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.11.1 Master/Slave Starter Configuration: In the master / slave configuration, one "master" starter can directly control the output of one or more "slave" starters. To utilize the master / slave configuration, one starter needs to be defined as the "master" starter. The Starter Type parameter of the "master" starter should be configured appropriately as a Soft Starter (normal or ID), Phase Controller or Current Follower.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Current Follower 7.12 Current Follower 2 When the Starter Type parameter is set to Current Follower, the MX is configured to operate as a Closed Loop current follower. Current Follower mode can be used to control the current applied to motors, resistive heaters, etc. The Current Follower mode uses the analog input to receive the desired current command and controls the SCRs to output the commanded current.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Start/Stop Control with a Hand/Off/Auto Selector Switch 7.13 Start/Stop Control Logic Often times, a switch is desired to select between local or “Hand” mode and remote or “Auto” mode. In most cases, local control is performed as 3-wire logic with a normally open, momentary contact Start pushbutton and a normally closed, momentary contact Stop pushbutton, while remote control is performed as 2-wire logic with a “Run Command” contact provided by a PLC.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION 7.14 Hand/Off/Auto Selector Switch The MX2 has the capability to use a selector switch to change the source of control. A popular use is to switch between using the door mounted display for Hand operation and using contact input for Auto operation. The following drawing shows how to wire the unit to allow this operation.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Simplified I/O Schematics 7.
7 - THEORY OF OPERATION Remote Modbus Communications Figure 49: TB4 Connector B+ ACOM 7.16 Remote Modbus Communications 2 The MX starter provides a Modbus RTU to support remote communication. The communication interface is RS-485, and allows up to 247 slaves to be connected to one master (with repeaters when the number of drops exceeds 31). Please refer to Figures 49 and 50 for connection diagrams. 7.16.

8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE Built-In Self Test Functions 8.6 Built In Self Test Functions 2 The MX has two built in self test (BIST) modes. The first test is the standard self test and is used to test many of the basic functions of the starter without line voltage being applied. The second test is a line powered test that is used to verify the current transformer’s locations and connections and to test for shorted SCRs/power poles, open or non-firing SCRs/power poles, and ground fault conditions.

APPENDIX E - MODBUS REGISTER MAP The control source must be serial for the starter to be started through Modbus. The Run/Stop bit must transition from 0 to 1 for a start to occur. If the starter stops due to a fault, the action of the starter depends on the state of the AutoStart parameter (P66 – I/O19). The fault reset bit must transition from 0 to 1 for a fault to be reset. If any of the programmed digital inputs are programmed as Local/Remote inputs, then the local/Remote bit has no effect.
