In Top of ramp state the softstarter only runs diagnostics.
  • Page 68 Motor Current Ie Set the motor current before the softstarter is used for the first time. The setting of this parameter shall be configured to the rated nominell current of the motor. WARNING All PSTX softstarters must be configured to the rated current of the motor.
  • Page 69 Voltage ramp When using the Voltage ramp, the voltage increases linearly from Initial start level to full voltage during start, and decreases linearly from the Step down level to Stop see Figure 77. end voltage level during stop, Since the torque depends on both the voltage and the current, the torque will not always follow the voltage curve.
  • Page 70 7.1.2 Voltage stop ramp When the softstarter is given a stop signal, the softstarter decreases the output voltage to the motor in a quick stop ramp, from full voltage down to set Step down voltage level. For best performance the step down level shall be 100% set to 80%.
  • Page 71 Torque ramp When using the Torque ramp, the output voltage is controlled, so that the output torque will follow a predefined optimal torque curve during start and stop ramp. For Torque start ramp there is four different adjustable torque curves. See description of torque profile parameters for examples on when to use which curve.
  • Page 72 7.2.1 Torque start ramp When the softstarter is given a start signal, the softstarter makes a quick ramp to set Start ramp initital level. Then the softstarter controls the output voltage so that the output torque will follow a predefined optimal torque curve during pre-set time to 100 % nominal torque.
  • Page 73 7.2.2 Torque stop ramp When using the Torque stop ramp, the output voltage to the motor is controlled so that the torque will follow a predefined optimal curve from the Step down level to end voltage during stop. This has the benefit that the mechanical stopping behaviour of the equipment driven by the motor, will be much softer than when using voltage ramp.
  • Page 74 Full voltage start When using the full voltage start the softstarter shall ensure that the motor accelerates up to full speed as fast as possible. This is done by providing a full voltage start in which the motor voltage ramps up to full voltage in ½ seconds.
  • Page 75 Current limit Current limit sets a maximum value of the starting current output to the motor. The time it takes to reach full voltage can be longer than the set Start ramp Time when Current limit is enabled. There are three different Current limit functions: •...
  • Page 76 Kick start Kick start function is a function to kick loose the motor initial friction during a set time and level. If Kick start is enabled, the start ramp starts directly after Kick start. See figure 83. Kick Start level INFORMATION Current limit function will not work during kick start.
  • Page 77 Slow speed Slow speed is an individual function, or a pre-start function to run the motor with low voltage output. This feature can, for example, be used to position a traverse or millband. This function can be operated via the HMI, IO or fieldbus. Slow speed has four pre-defined speeds: •...
  • Page 78 Motor heating Motor heating can be used as a pre-start function to heat the motor before actual start without any rotation to the motor. It can also be used as an individual function operated from a digital input or fieldbus. The softstarter supplies a current to the engine, without reaching the torque level that starts the engine.
  • Page 79 7.10 Sequence start The softstarter can start up to three different motors sequentially, sequence 1, 2 and 3. This is suitable when setting up the softstarter with different applications. Choose the parameter set via input signal to the softstarter. Parameter settings and physical connections for programmable inputs must correspond.
  • Page 80 7.11 Automatic restart The softstarter automatically restarts the motor after a fault has occurred. The primary requirement is that if a fault or protection has been asserted, the softstarter shall automatically restart the motor in order to ensure an uninterrupted process. The event is reset only after the Auto-reset delay time has transpired.

Only one bus at the time can be used. i.e. the user cannot connect the softstarter to multiple fieldbuses. The port used for Modbus RTU is a multifunction port that can also be used for connecting an Extension IO module.
