1 – INTRODUCTION
General Overview
1.4 General Overview of a Reduced Voltage Starter
The RediStart MX motor starter is a microprocessor-controlled starter for single or three-phase induction motors. The starter can be
custom designed for specific applications. A few of the features are:
• Solid state design.
• Reduced voltage starting and soft stopping.
• Closed-loop motor current control, power control, torque control.
• Programmable motor protection.
• Programmable operating parameters.
• Programmable metering.
Each starter can operate within applied line voltage and frequency values of 100VAC to 600VAC (optional 1000VAC) and 23 to
72Hz.
The starter can be programmed for any motor FLA and all of the common motor service factors. It enables operators to control both
motor acceleration and deceleration. It can also protect the motor and its load from damage that could be caused by incorrect phase
order wiring.
The starter continually monitors the amount of current being delivered to the motor. This protects the motor from overheating or
drawing excess current. The starter will automatically stop the motor if the Phase to Phase line current is not within acceptable ranges
or if the current is lost in a line.
Features The enhanced engineering features of the starter include:

• Multiple frame sizes
• Universal voltage operation
• Universal frequency operation
• Programmable motor overload multiplier
• Controlled acceleration and deceleration
• Phase rotation protection
• Regulated current control
• Electronic motor thermal overload protection
• Electronic over/under current protection
• Single phase protection
• Line-to-line current imbalance protection
• Stalled motor protection
• Programmable metering
• Passcode protected
• Programmable Relays
• Analog output with digital offset and span adjustment
• Analog input with digital offset and span adjustment

2.1 Control Card Setup
2.1.1 CT Ratio Scaling
The motor current signal scaling is set according to the motor size and the application specified when the starter is ordered. To ensure
accurate operation, the motor current signal must be correctly scaled for the motor (and its application) being controlled by the
starter. Motor current signal scaling may have to be changed if:
• Motor size has been changed from the original specification.
• Motor load has been changed from the original application.
Motor current signal scaling is accomplished by verifying the current transformer ratio as supplied with the starter and then selecting
the correct DIP switch setting from the chart on the following page for the current transformer ratio. The DIP switches are:
Figure 2 – CT Inputs and CT switches
• ON in the RIGHT position
• OFF in the LEFT position
• Refer to for Figure 1 – Control Board Layout

actual location of switches
CT Input, White wire (+)
CT Input Black wire (-)
NOTE: The applicable ratio is stamped on each CT. Adjust the DIP switches only when there is no current being supplied to the
motor, or the switches could be damaged.
NOTE: See CT Ratio Parameters FUN 03, P68
2.1.2 CT Polarity
The CT has a polarity that must be correct for the starter to correctly measure Watts, kW Hours, Power Factor, and for the Power and
TruTorque motor control functions to operate properly.
Each CT has a dot on one side of the flat surfaces. This dot, normally white in color, must be facing in the direction of the line.
The CT can be placed either before or after the starter. In specific applications, like Inside Delta and a starter with a DC brake, the
CT’s must be before the starter.
CT1 must be on Line L1 (R), CT2 must be on Line L2 (S), CT3 must be on Line L3 (T).
2.1.3 Confirm Switch Settings
To verify or change the motor current signal scaling:
• Compare the CT ratio stamped on each CT to the CT ratio listed on the wiring diagram supplied with the starter to ensure the
correct CTs are installed.
• Inspect the control card to ensure that the DIP switches are in the correct positions for the applicable CT ratio and the motor
full-load Amps (FLA).

LED Keypad and Display
3.1 Introduction
The MX Control provides a comprehensive set of parameters to allow the use of the reduced voltage solid state starter in nearly any
industrial application. While the starter can meet the requirements of many applications right out of the box, customization of
parameter values to better suit your particular application is easily accomplished with the standard, on-board, 4-digit, 7-segment LED
display/keypad, a remote display/keypad, or via remote serial communication.
The MX control has two remote keypads and displays that are optional equipment; a remote 4-digit, 7-segment LED display and a
2x16-backlit LCD display. Both keypads have the same keys as the standard display with several additional keys including start and
stop keys for operation of the starter from the keypad. When the remote keypad is connected, the local keypad and display are
disabled.
3.2 Standard Keypad and Display
The LED display provides information on starter operation and programming. The 4-digit, 7-segment display shows starter meter
outputs and programming data. Special symbols provide further information about the starter operation (see the following section).

4.1 Introduction
The MX Control incorporates a large number of parameters that allow you to configure the starter to meet the special requirements of
your particular application. The parameters are organized two ways, depending on the display being used. When an LED display is
used, the parameters are in a single group, P1, P2, P3…etc.
When using the LCD display, the parameters are divided into groups of related functionality, and within the groups the parameters
are identified by a short, descriptive name.
This chapter describes the available parameters, the groups in which they are located, and the values that may be assigned to them.

LCD Display
QST: Motor FLA
01 10 Amp
LED Display P1
Range Model dependent, 1 to 6400 Amps RMS (Default 10A)
Description This parameter configures the motor full load amps, and is obtained from the nameplate on the
attached motor.
If multiple motors are connected, the FLA of each motor must be added together for this
value
NOTE: Incorrectly setting this parameter will affect proper operation of the motor overload
protection, motor over current protection, motor undercurrent protection, ground fault protection and
acceleration control.
P2 QST 02 MOTOR SF (motor service factor)
LCD Display
QST: Motor SF
02 1.15
LED Display P2
Range 1.00 – 1.99 (Default 1.15)
Description The service factor parameter should be set to the service factor of the motor. The service factor is
used for the overload calculations. If the service factor of the motor is not known then the service
factor should be set to 1.00.
NOTE: The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow the service factor to be set above 1.40.
Check with other local electrical codes for their requirements.
The National Electrical Code, article 430 Part C, allows for different overload multiplier factors
depending on the motor and operating conditions. NEC section 430-32 outlines the allowable service
factor for different motors.
For more information about service factor, see section 8.2.

P3 QST 03 Running OL (motor overload class “running”)
LCD Display
QST: Running OL
03 10
LED Display P3
Range OFF, 1– 40 (Default 10)
Description The running OLparameter sets the class for starting and running if the independent S/R OL
is set to OFF
The running overload parameter sets the class of the electronic overload when up to speed and
stopping. The starter stores the thermal overload value as a percentage value between 0 and 100%,
with 0% representing a “cold” overload and 100% representing a tripped overload. See section 8.1
Solid State Motor Overload Protection for the overload trip time versus current curves.
When the running overload is set to OFF, the electronic overload is disabled when up to speed and a
separate motor overload protection device must be supplied.
If separate starting versus running OL class are desired, see P35/PFN 12 and P36/PFN13.
For more information about overload class, see section 8, Theory of Operation, Motor Overload
NOTE: Care must be taken not to damage the motor when turning the running OL off or setting a
high value.
NOTE: Consult motor manufacturer data to determine the correct motor OL settings.

P6 QST 06 Init Cur 1 (initial motor current)
LCD Display
QST: Init Cur 1
06 100 %
LED Display P6
Range 50 – 600 % of FLA (Default 100%)
Description The initial current 1 parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter setting. The initial
current parameter sets the current that will initially be supplied to the motor when a start is
commanded. The initial current should be set to the level that allows the motor to begin rotating
within a couple of seconds of receiving a start command.
To adjust the initial current setting, give the starter a run command. Observe the motor to see how
long it takes before it begins rotating and then stop the unit. For every second that the motor doesn’t
rotate, increase the initial current by 20%. Typical loads will require an initial current in the range of
50% to 175%.
If the motor does not rotate within a few seconds after a start command, the initial current should be
increased. If the motor takes off too quickly after a start command, the initial current should be
decreased.
The initial current must be set to a value that is lower than the maximum current parameter setting.
Refer to section 8.3.1, Current Ramp Settings, Ramps and Times on page 112.

P7 QST 07 Max Cur 1 (maximum motor current)
LCD Display
QST: Max Cur 1
07 600 %
LED Display P7
Description The maximum current 1 parameter is set as a percentage of the motor FLA parameter setting. The
maximum current parameter performs two functions. It sets the current level for the end of the ramp
profile. It also sets the maximum current that is allowed to reach the motor after the ramp is
completed.
If the ramp time expires before the motor has reached full speed, the starter will hold the current at
the maximum current level until the UTS timer expires, the motor reaches full speed, or the overload
trips.
Typically, the maximum current is set to 600% unless the power system or load dictates the setting of
a lower maximum current.

P8 QST 08 Ramp Time 1 (ramp time)
LCD Display
QST: Ramp Time 1
08 15 sec
LED Display P8
Range 0 – 300 seconds (Default 15 seconds)
Description The ramp time is the time it takes for the starter to allow 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.
A typical ramp time setting is from 15 to 30 seconds.
If the ramp time expires before the motor reaches full speed, the starter will maintain the set
maximum current level until either the motor reaches full speed, the UTS timer expires, or the motor
thermal overload trips.
NOTE: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor will take
this time to accelerate to full speed. The motor and load may achieve full speed before the ramp time
expires if the application does not require the set ramp time and maximum current to reach full speed.
Alternatively, the motor and load may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full speed.

2 QST 09 UTS Time (up to speed time)
LCD Display
QST: UTS Time
09 20 sec
LED Display P9
Range 1– 900 Seconds (Default 20 sec)
Description The up-to-speed timer parameter sets the maximum acceleration time to full speed that the motor can
take. A stalled motor condition will be detected if the motor does not get up-to-speed before the up-
to-speed timer expires. This allows the programming of a maximum acceleration time for the motor.
The motor is considered up-to-speed once the current stabilizes below 175 percent of the FLA value
and the ramp time expires.
NOTE: During normal acceleration ramps, the up-to-speed timer has to be greater than the sum of
the highest ramp time in use and the kick time. The up-to-speed timer will not automatically change
to be greater than the ramp time. If a ramp time greater than the up-to-speed timer is set, the starter
will declare an up-to-speed fault every time a start is attempted.
NOTE: When the start mode (CFN01, P10) is set to Open-Loop Voltage Ramp, the UTS timer acts
as an acceleration kick. When the UTS timer expires, full voltage will be applied to the motor. This
feature can be used to reduce motor oscillations if they occur near the end of an open loop voltage
ramp start.
NOTE: When the starter type (FUN07, P64 ) is set to Wye-Delta, the UTS timer is used as the
transition timer. When the UTS timer expires, the transition from Wye starting mode to Delta
running mode will take place.
Fault Code 01 - Up to Speed Fault will be declared when a stalled motor condition is detected.

OLrP: Voltage Ramp Open Loop Voltage acceleration ramp
Curr: Current Ramp Current control acceleration ramp. The closed loop current control
acceleration ramp is ideal for starting most general-purpose motor
applications. Examples: crushers, ball mills, reciprocating compressors,
saws, centrifuges, and most other applications.
tt: TT Ramp TruTorque control acceleration ramp. The closed loop TruTorque control
acceleration ramp is suitable for applications that require a minimum of
torque transients during starting or for consistently loaded applications
that require a reduction of torque surges during starting. Examples:
centrifugal pumps, fans, and belt driven equipment.
Pr: Power Ramp Power (kW) control acceleration ramp. The closed loop power control
acceleration ramp is ideal for starting applications using a generator or
other limited capacity source.

Range 1 – 100 % of Voltage/Torque/Power (Default 25%)
Description Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to Open Loop Voltage Acceleration:
When the Start Mode is set to open-loop voltage acceleration, this parameter sets the starting point
for the voltage acceleration ramp profile. A typical value is 25%. If the motor starts too quickly or
the initial current is too high, reduce this parameter. If the motor does not start rotating within a few
seconds after a start is commanded, increase this parameter.
Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to Current Control Acceleration:
Not Used when the Start Mode is set to Current control acceleration. Refer to Initial Current
(QST06, CFN03, P6) to set the initial current level.
Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to TruTorque Control Acceleration:
When the Start Mode is set to TruTorque acceleration, this parameter sets the initial torque level that
the motor will produce at the beginning of the starting ramp profile. A typical value is 10% to 20%.
If the motor starts too quickly or the initial torque level is too high, reduce this parameter. If the
motor does not start rotating within a few seconds after a start is commanded, increase this parameter.
If the value is set too low a “No Current at Run” fault may occur during acceleration.
Note: It is important that the Motor Rated PF parameter (FUN06, P65) is set properly so that the
actual initial torque level is the value desired.
Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to Power Control Acceleration:
When the Start Mode is set to Power controlled acceleration, this parameter sets the initial motor
power (KW) level that will be achieved at the beginning of the starting ramp profile. A typical value
is 10% to 30%. If the motor starts too quickly or the initial power level is too high, reduce this
parameter. If the motor does not start rotating within a few seconds after a start is commanded,
increase this parameter. If the value is set too low a “No Current at Run” fault may occur during
acceleration.

Description Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to Open Loop Voltage Acceleration:
Not Used when the Start Mode is set to open-loop voltage acceleration. When in open loop voltage
acceleration mode, the final voltage ramp value is always 100% or full voltage.
Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to Current Control Acceleration:
Not Used when the Start Mode is set to Current control acceleration mode. Refer to Maximum
Current (QST07, CFN04, P7) to set the maximum current level.
Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to TruTorque Control Acceleration:
When the Start Mode is set to TruTorque acceleration, this parameter sets the final or maximum
torque level that the motor will produce at the end of the ramp time during acceleration. For a loaded
motor the maximum torque value initially should be set to 100% or greater. If the maximum torque
value is set too low, the motor may not produce enough torque to reach full speed and may stall. On
lightly loaded motors, this parameter may be reduced below 100% to produce smoother starts.
desired maximum torque level is achieved.
Start Mode (CFN01, P10) set to Power Control Acceleration:
When the Start Mode is set to Power controlled acceleration, this parameter sets the final or
maximum power (KW) consumption level that will be achieved at the end of the ramp time. For a
loaded motor the maximum power value initially should be set to 100% or greater. If the maximum
power level is set too low, the motor may not produce enough torque to reach full speed and may
stall. On lightly loaded motors, this parameter may be reduced below 100% to provide for smoother
starts.

Range OFF, 100 – 800% of FLA (Default OFF)
Description The kick level 1 parameter sets the current level that preceedes the current ramp when a start is first
commanded. The kick current is only useful on motor loads that are hard to get rotating but then are
much easier to move once they are rotating. An example of a load that is hard to get rotating is a ball
mill. The ball mill requires a high torque to get it to rotate the first quarter turn (90°). Once the ball
mill is past 90° of rotation, the material inside will begin tumbling and it is easier to turn.
The kick current parameter is usually set to a low value and then the kick time is adjusted to get the
motor rotating. If the kick time is set to more than 2.0 seconds without the motor rotating, increase
the kick current by 100% and re-adjust the kick time.

Description The kick time 1 parameter sets the length of time that the kick current level is applied to the motor.
The kick time adjustment should begin at 0.5 seconds and be adjusted by 0.1 or 0.2 second intervals
until the motor begins rotating. If the kick time is adjusted above 2.0 seconds without the motor
rotating, start over with a higher kick current setting.
NOTE: The kick timer adds to the total start time and must be accounted for when setting the UTS
time.

CoS Coast Coast: A coast to stop should be used when no special stopping
requirements are necessary; Example: crushers, balls mills, centrifuges,
belts, conveyor. In Low Voltage systems, the bypass contactor is
opened before the SCRs stop gating to reduce wear on the contactor
contacts. (Default)

LED Display P16
Range 1 % - 100% of phase angle firing (Default 40%)
Description Stop Mode (CFN14, P15) set to Voltage Deceleration:
The voltage deceleration profile utilizes an open loop S-curve voltage ramp profile. When the stop
mode is set to Voltage Decel, the decel begin level parameter sets the initial or starting voltage level
when transferring from running to deceleration. The deceleration beginning level is not a precise
percentage of actual line voltage but defines a point on the S-curve deceleration profile.
A typical voltage decel begin level setting is between 30% and 40%. If the motor initially surges
(oscillates) when a stop is commanded, decrease this parameter value. If there is a sudden drop in
motor speed when a stop is commanded, increase this parameter value.
Stop Mode (CFN14, P15) set to TruTorque Deceleration:
Not Used when the stop mode is set to TruTorque Decel, the decel begin level has no effect on the
deceleration profile. The TruTorque beginning deceleration level is automatically calculated based
on the motor load at the time the stop command was given.
actual deceleration torque levels are the levels desired.

LED Display P17
Range 99 – 1 % of phase angle firing (Default 20%)
Description Stop Mode (CFN14, P15) set to Voltage Deceleration:
The voltage deceleration profile utilizes an open loop S-curve voltage ramp profile. When the stop
mode is set to Voltage Decel, the decel end level parameter sets the ending voltage level for the
voltage deceleration ramp profile. The deceleration ending level is not a precise percentage of actual
line voltage but defines an ending point on the S-curve deceleration profile.
Note: The deceleration end level can not be set greater than the decel begin level.
A typical voltage decel end level setting is between 10% and 20%. If the motor stops rotating before
the deceleration time has expired increase this parameter value. If the motor is still rotating when the
deceleration time has expired, decrease this parameter value. If the value is set too low a “No
Current at Run” fault may occur during deceleration.
Stop Mode (CFN14, P15) set to TruTorque Deceleration:
When the stop mode is set to TruTorque Decel, the decel end level parameter sets the ending torque
level for the TruTorque deceleration ramp profile.
A typical TruTorque decel end level setting is between 10% and 20%. If the motor stops rotating
before the deceleration time has expired increase this parameter value. If the motor is still rotating
when the deceleration time has expired, decrease this parameter value.

Range 1 – 180 seconds (Default 15 sec)
Description The decel time parameter sets the time that the deceleration profile is applied to the motor and sets
the slope of the deceleration ramp profile. When in voltage decel mode, this time sets the time
between applying the initial decel level to the application of the final decel level.
Note: If the motor was not up to speed when a stop was commanded, the voltage decel profile will
begin at the lower of either the decel begin level setting or at the motor voltage level when the stop
was commanded. Although the profile may be adjusted, the deceleration time will remain the same.
When in the TruTorque deceleration mode, the decel time sets the time between the motor torque
level when stop was commanded is applied and when the decel end torque level is applied.
If the motor stops rotating before the decel time has expired, decrease the decel time parameter. If
the motor is still rotating when the decel time expires, increase the decel time parameter.
A typical decel time is 20 to 40 seconds.
Note: Depending on the motor load and the decel parameter settings, the motor may or may not be
fully stopped at the end of the deceleration time.

Description The current imbalance level parameter sets the imbalance that is allowed before the starter will shut
down. The current imbalance must exist for 10 seconds before a fault will occur.
At average currents less than or equal to full load current (FLA), the current imbalance for each phase
is calculated as the percentage difference between the phase current that has the maximum deviation
from the average current (Imax) and the FLA current.
The equation for the current imbalance if running at current <=FLA:
(I ave - I max )
% imbalance = x 100%
FLA
At average currents greater than full load current (FLA), the current imbalance for each phase is
calculated as the percentage difference between the phase current that has the maximum deviation
from the average current (Imax) and the average current (Iave).
The equation for the current imbalance if running at current > FLA:
(I ave - I max )
% imbalance = x 100%

The ground fault current has to remain above the ground fault level for 3 seconds before the starter
will recognize a ground fault condition. Once the starter recognizes a ground fault condition, it will
shut down the motor and declare a Fault 38-Ground Fault.
If a programmable relay is set to ground fault (GND), the starter will energize the relay when the
condition exists.
A typical value for the ground fault current setting is 10% to 20% of the full load amps of the motor.

NOTE: All relays except the UTS relay are held in their present state until the stop mode action has
been completed.
NOTE: Only certain faults can initiate a controlled fault stop. Some faults are considered too
critical and will cause the starter stop immediately regardless of the Controlled Fault Enable
parameter.

Description If “OFF”
When this parameter is “OFF” the running OL (overload) is active in all states
If “ON”
When this parameter is “ON”, the Starting and Running OL are separate with each having
their own settings. The Starting OL value is used during motor acceleration and
acceleration kick. The Running OL value is used during all other modes of operation.
If both the run OL and the start OL are set to OFF, then the existing accumulated motor OL% will be
erased and no motor OL will be calculated in any state.
If the start OL is set to OFF and the run OL is set to On, then the I2t motor OL will NOT accumulate
during acceleration kick and acceleration ramping states. However, the existing accumulated OL%
will remain during starting and the exponential heating and cooling will function during all other
states. However, the OL% will be capped at 99% during starting.
Although there is really no reason to do so, the start OL could be set to ON and the run OL set to
OFF.

LCD Display
PFN:OL H/C Ratio
15 60 %
LED Display P37
Range 0 – 99% (Default 60%)
Description The Motor Overload Hot/Cold Ratio parameter defines the steady state overload content (OLss) that is
reached when the motor is running with a current less than full load current (FLA) * Service Factor
(SF). This provides for accurate motor overload protection during a “warm” start.
The steady state overload content is calculated by the following formula.
Current 1
OLss = OL H/C Ratio × ×
FLA Current Imbalance Derate Factor
The rise or fall time for the overload to reach this steady state is defined by the overload cooling time
parameter.
See section 8.1.4 page number 106 for a description of the Current Imbalance Derate Factor.
The default value of 60% for the OL H/C Ratio parameter is typical for most motors. A more
accurate value can be derived from the hot and cold locked rotor times that are available from most
motor manufacturers using the following formula.
 Max Hot Locked Rotor Time 

OL H/C Ratio = 1 −  x 100%
 Max Cold Locked Rotor Time 

Range 1.0 –999.9 minutes (Default 30.0)
Description The motor overload cooling time parameter is the time to cool from 100% to less than (<) 1%. When
the motor is stopped, the overload content will be exponentially reduced based on the OL cooling
time parameter.
Refer to the following equation:
5
t
OL Content = OL Content wh en Stopped * e CoolingTime
So, a motor with a set cooling time of 30 minutes (1800 sec) with 100% accumulated OL content will
cool to <1% OL content in 30 minutes.
NOTE: Consult motor manufacturer data to determine the correct motor OL setting.

LED Display P48
Description The analog input can be scaled using the “Analog Input Span” parameter.
Examples:
For a 0-10V input or 0-20mA input, a 100% Analog Input Span setting will result in a 0% input
reading with a 0V input and a 100% input reading with a 10V input.
For a 0-5V input, a 50% Analog Input Span setting will result in a 0% input reading with a 0V input
and a 100% input readings with a 5V input.
For a 4-20mA input, a 80% Analog Input Span setting and a 20% Analog Input Offset setting will
result in a 0% input reading at 4mA and a 100% input reading at 20mA.
NOTE: Input signal readings are clamped at a 100% maximum.

Description The Inline Configuration parameter controls the behavior of the No Line warning, No Line fault, and
the Ready relay function.
If the Inline Configuration parameter is set to Off, then the control assumes that there is no Inline
contactor and that line voltage should be present while stopped. If no line is detected, then a No Line
alarm condition will exist and the ready condition will not exist. If a start is commanded, then a No
Line fault will be declared.
If the Inline Configuration parameter is set to a time delay, then the control assumes that there is an
Inline contactor and that line voltage need not be present while stopped. If no line is detected, then
the No Line alarm condition will not exist and the ready condition will exist. If a start is commanded
and there is no detected line voltage for the time period defined by the Inline Configuration
parameter, then a “noL (No Line) fault will be declared.
NOTE: This fault is different than over/under voltage since it detects the presence of NO line.

Description The CT ratio must be set to match the CTs (current transformers) supplied with the starter. This
allows the starter to properly calculate the current supplied to the motor.
Only Benshaw supplied CTs can be used on the starter. The CTs are custom 0.2 amp secondary CTs
specifically designed for use on the MX starter. The CT ratio is then normalized to a 1A secondary
value. The supplied CT ratio can be confirmed by reading the part number on the CT label. The part
number is of the form BICTxxx1M, where xxx is the CT primary and the 1 indicates the normalized
1 amp.
Refer to Table 1 – CT Ratios and Burden Switch Settings on page 10.

LCD Display
FUN:Rated PF
06 -0.92
LED Display P65
Range -0.01 to 1.00 (Default –0.92)
Description The motor rated power factor value sets the motor power factor value that is used by the MX starter
for TruTorque and Power control calculations and metering calculations.
If TruTorque or Power acceleration and/or deceleration control is used, it is very important to

properly set this parameter to the motor’s full load rated power factor (usually available on the motor
nameplate or from the motor manufacturer). For a typical induction motor, this value is between 0.80
and 0.95.
If the motor rated Power Factor (PF) is not available, from either the motor nameplate or the motor
manufacture, the value can be obtained by viewing the power factor meter, providing an approximate
value for the MX control.
With the motor running at full name plate current, view the PF meter either by setting meter 1 (P69)
to 12 with the LED display, or by pressing ? until the Motor PF meter is displayed using the LCD
display.
The meter value can be entered into the PF parameter.

FUN:Heater Level
08 Off
LED Display P63
Range OFF, 1 –25% FLA (Default OFF)
Description The heater level parameter sets the level of D.C. current that reaches the motor when the motor
winding heater/anti-windmilling brake is enabled. The motor winding heater/anti-windmilling brake
can be used to heat a motor in order to prevent internal condensation or it can be used to prevent a
motor from rotating.
NOTE: The motor can still slowly creep when the anti-windmilling brake is being used. If the motor
has to be held without rotating, a mechanical means of holding the motor must be used.
The motor winding heater/anti-windmilling brake operation may be controlled by a digital input and
by a heater disable bit in the starter control modbus register. There are two methods using the digital
inputs, either the input is an enable or disable.
Enabled: When the DI 1, DI 2 or DI 3 inputs are programmed as Heat Enable Inputs, the input may
be used to control when heating/anti-windmilling is applied. The Heater / Anti-Windmill Level
parameter must be set, the starter stopped and this input must be high for heating to occur.
Disabled: When the DI 1, DI 2 or DI 3 inputs are programmed as Heat Disable Inputs, the input may
be used to control when heating/anti-windmilling is applied. The Heater / Anti-Windmill Level
parameter must be set and this input must be low for heating to occur.
If no digital inputs are programmed as heater enabled or disabled, the heater will be applied at
all times when the motor is stopped.
The level of DC current applied to the motor during this operation needs to be monitored to ensure
that the motor is not overheated. The current level should be set as low as possible and then slowly
increased over a long period of time. While this is being done, the temperature of the motor should be
monitored to ensure it is not overheating.
Motor should be labeled as being live even when not rotating
Note: When in single phase mode, the heater function is disabled

6-APPLICATIONS
Line Connected Motor
6.1 Application Consideration between Line Connected and Inside Delta Connected Soft Starter
There are differences between a line connected soft starter as shown in Figure 8 and the inside delta connected soft starter as shown
in Figure 9 that need to be understood.
By observation of Figure 9, access to all six stator-winding terminals is required for an inside delta application. In the line connected
soft starter of Figure 8, access to only three leads of the stator windings of the motor is required. For a 12-lead motor, all 12 stator
terminals must be accessible.
One failed SCR on any phase of the inside delta soft starter will result in a single-phase condition. A shunt trip circuit breaker is
recommended to protect the motor in this case. A programmable relay can be configured as a shunt trip relay and can be used to trip
the breaker. When certain faults occur, the shunt trip relay energizes. Refer to Appendix B for those faults that cause a shunt trip.
The SCR control for an inside delta application is different than the SCR control for a standard soft starter. The starter type
(parameter FUN 07 or P64) needs to be properly set so that the SCRs are gated correctly.
If a circuit breaker is the only means to disconnect the soft starter and motor from the line, then one leg of the motor leads in the
inside delta soft starter is always electrically live when the circuit breaker is closed. This requires caution to ensure these leads of the
motor are not exposed to personnel.
6.1.1 Line Connected Soft Starter
In Figure 8, the power poles of the soft starter are connected in series with the line. The starter draws line current (L1 ,L2 ,L3 ).

For an Inside Delta connected motor, the inside windings average SCR current is less than that of the outside average line current by
a factor of 1.55 (FLA/1.55). By comparison of Figure 8 and Figure 9, the most obvious advantage of the inside delta starter is the
reduction of current seen by the soft starter. The soft starter current rating can be downsized by a factor of 1.55, providing significant
savings in cost and size of the starter.
An inside delta soft starter can also be considered for motors with more than 6 leads, including 12 lead dual voltage motors.
NEMA and IEC use different nomenclature for motor terminal markings, for 3 and 6 leaded motors.
NEMA labels motors leads, 1,2,3,4,5,6,
IEC labels motor leads, U1, V1, W1, U2, V2, W2
6.2 Other Applications using the MX Control
The MX control has been designed to be the controller for other motor control applications, such as Wye Delta, Across the line full
voltage starter, Phase Control/Voltage Follower and Current Follower. In each case, the MX control is providing the motor
protection and the necessary control for these applications.
6.2.1 Wye Delta
When the MX control is set to Wye-Delta (FUN 07, P64, Starter Type parameter), the MX control is configured to operate an
electromechanical Wye-Delta (Star-Delta) 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. The UTS / Transition Time
parameter (QST 09, P9) sets the time when the Wye to Delta transition occurs during starting.
The MX control can operate two configurations of Wye-Delta starters, open transition and closed transition.
An open transition starter momentarily disconnects the motor from the input line during the transition from Wye to Delta
operating mode.
A closed transition starter uses resistors that are inserted during the transition so that the motor is never completely
disconnected from the input line.

The presence of these resistors in a closed transition starter smoothes the transition from Wye to Delta operation mode. A typical
closed transition Wye-Delta starter schematic is shown in Figure 10 – Wye Delta Motor Connection to the MX Control

For the Wye-Delta starter mode to operate properly, one output relay needs to be programmed to the RUN output function and
another output relay needs to be programmed to the UTS output function. (Refer to parameters I/0 04-06, P42-44 for more
information).
For operation of the Wye-Delta and its transitions from a start to a completed run, refer to Section 8.5 Wye-Delta Operation.
The closed transition resistors generally are sized to be in the circuit for a short period of time. To protect the resistors from over
heating, one input should be programmed as a Bypass/2M contact feedback input and the Bypass/2M confirm parameter must be set.

Phase Control & Current Follower Starter

6.2.2 Phase Control
When the MX control Starter Type parameter (FUN 07, P64) is set to Phase Control, the MX control is configured to operate as a
phase controller / voltage follower. This is an open loop control mode. The firing angles of the SCRs are directly controlled based on
voltage or current applied to the Analog Input. A reference-input value of 0% will result in no output. A reference-input value of
100% will result in full (100%) output voltage. The actual voltage or current input that results in a given output can be adjusted
through the use of the Analog Input Offset (I/O 11, P49 ) and Analog Input Span (I/O 10, P48) user parameters. The Phase Control
mode has many uses. Two typical applications are use in master/slave starter configurations and as a basic phase controller.
Phase Controller:
When in Phase Control mode, the MX controller can function as a general phase controller. Phase control can be used to directly
control the voltage applied to motors, resistive heaters, etc. When in Phase Control mode, the phase angle of the SCRs and hence the
voltage applied is directly controlled based on the measured analog input signal. The MX controllers reference command can be
generated from any 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA source such as a potentiometer, another MX controller, or an external controller such as
a PLC.
The Phase control mode can only be used on continuous/fan cooled starters. The bypassed starter does not have the thermal capacity
to continuously operate at rated amps in phase control mode and the bypass contactor is not used. Use the RC power stack.
Master/Slave (Lead/Follower) 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 (FUN 07, P64) of the
“master” starter should be configured appropriately as a Soft Starter (normal or ID), Phase Control, or Current Follower. If
configured as a soft starter, the acceleration and deceleration profiles will need to be configured for proper operation.
The analog output of the “master” starter should be set to 0-100% firing and connected to the analog input of the following starter(s).
“Slaves” should have FUN 07, P64 starter type set to Phase control.
Note: The power stack must be rated for continuous non-bypassed duty in order to properly operate in Phase Control mode.
6.2.3 Current Follower
When the MX control Starter Type parameter (FUN07, P64) is set to Current Follower, the MX control 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. The MX controllers reference command can be generated from any 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA source such as a
potentiometer, another MX controller, or an external controller such as a PLC. When a start command is given, the RUN
programmed relay output will energize and the SCRs will be gated on.
A reference-input value of 0% will result in no output. A reference-input value of 100% will result in a current output equal to the
FLA setting (QST1, P1). The actual voltage or current input that results in a given output can be adjusted through the use of the
Analog Input Offset (I/O 11, P49) and Analog Input Span (I/O 10, P48) user parameters.
Note: The power stack must rated for continuous non-bypassed duty be used. in order to operate in Current Follower mode.

Across The Line Starter
6.2.4 Across The Line (Full Voltage Starter)
When the MX control is set to ATL (FUN 07, P64 Starter Type parameter), the MX control is configured to operate an
electromechanical full voltage or across-the-line (ATL) starter.
In the ATL configuration, the MX controller expects that the motor contactor (1M) will be directly controlled by a digital output
relay that is programmed for the RUN function. Therefore, when a start command is given, the RUN programmed relay will energize
the motor contactor, which will apply power to the motor. When the MX controller has determined that the motor has reached full
speed, the up-to-speed (UTS) condition will be indicated by energizing the UTS programmed relays. When configured as an ATL
starter, all MX motor and starter protective functions, except bad SCR detection and power stack overload, are available to provide
full motor and starter protection.

8– THEORY OF OPERATION
Motor Overload
8.1 Solid State Motor Overload Protection
8.1.1 Overview
The MX control contains an advanced I2t electronic motor overload (OL) protection function. For optimal motor protection, the MX
control has forty standard NEMA style overload curves (in steps of one) available for use. Separate overload classes can be
programmed for acceleration and for normal running operation and individually or completely disabled if necessary. The MX motor
overload function also implements a NEMA based current imbalance overload compensation, user adjustable hot and cold motor
compensation, and user adjustable exponential motor cooling.
CAUTION: If the MX motor overload protection is disabled during any mode of operation, external motor overload protection must
be provided to prevent motor damage and/or the risk of fire in the case of a motor overload.
8.1.2 Setting up the MX Motor Overload
Motor overload protection is easily configured through seven user parameters (please refer to the descriptions of each parameter in
section 5 of this manual for additional parameter information):
1. Motor Full Load Current (P1 / QST 01)
2. Motor Service Factor (P2 / QST 02)
3. Motor OL Class Running (P3 / QST 03)
4. Motor OL Class Starting (P36 / PFN 13)
5. Independent Start / Run OL (P35 / PFN12)
6. Motor Hot/Cold Ratio (P37 / PFN 15)
7. Motor Cooling Time (P38 / PFN 16)
The Motor FLA and Service Factor parameter settings define the motor overload “pickup” point. For example, if the motor service
factor is set to 1.00, the motor overload will begin accumulating or incrementing when the measured motor current is >100% FLA
(100% * 1.00). The overload will NOT trip if the motor current is <100%. If the motor service factor is set to 1.15, the overload will
start accumulating content when the motor current >115% FLA (100% * 1.15). The overload will NOT trip if the measured motor
current is <115% of rated FLA.
The available overload classes are based on the trip time when operating at 600% of rated motor current. For example, a Class 10
overload will trip in 10 seconds when the motor is operating at 600% rated current; a Class 20 overload will trip in 20 seconds when
the motor is operating at 600% rated current.
The equation for the MX standard overload curves after the “pick-up” point has been reached is:

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. The RBX power stack is designed for class 10 duty without derating. Refer to section 2.5.7 for the
specifics of the RBX overload capabilities. Also, in certain heavy duty DC braking applications, the overload settings may be limited to
protect the motor from potential damage during braking.

Motor Overload
8.1.3 Motor Overload Operation
Overload Heating
When the motor is operating in the overloaded condition (motor current greater than FLAxSF), the motor overload content will
accumulate 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.
Overload Alarm
When the accumulated motor overload content reaches 90%, an overload alarm condition will be declared. A relay output can be
programmed to change state when a motor overload alarm condition is present to warn of an impending motor overload fault.
Overload Trip
When the motor overload content reaches 100%, the MX starter will trip protecting the motor from damage. If the controlled fault
stop feature of the MX control is enabled, the starter will first perform the defined deceleration or DC braking profile before stopping
the motor. The motor overload trip time accuracy is ± 0.2 seconds or ± 3% of total trip time.
Overload Start Lockout
After tripping on an overload, restarting will be prevented and the starter will be “locked out” until the accumulated motor overload
content has cooled below 15%.
8.1.4 Current Imbalance / Negative Sequence Current Compensation
The MX motor overload calculations automatically compensate for the additional motor heating which results from the presence of
unbalanced phase currents. When a current imbalance is present, there can be significant negative sequence currents present in the
motor. These negative sequence currents have a rotation opposite the motor rotation and are typically at two times the line
frequency. Due to the negative sequence currents opposite rotation and higher frequency, these currents can cause a significant
increase in rotor heating.
The overload curves provided by a motor manufacturer are based on balanced motor operation. Therefore, if a current imbalance is
present, the MX motor overload will compensate for the additional heating effect by accumulating overload content FASTER and
tripping sooner to protect the motor. The current imbalance compensation also adjusts the Hot / Cold motor protection as described
below in section 8.1.6 Hot / Cold Motor Overload Compensation. The MX control’s derating factor is based on NEMA MG-1 14.35
specifications and is shown in the following Figure 12 – Overload Derated for Current Imbalance.

8.1.5 Harmonic Compensation
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, uninterruptable power supplies, and other similar loads.
8.1.6 Hot / Cold Motor Overload Compensation
If a motor has been in operation for some time, it will have heated up to some point. Therefore, there is typically less overload
content available in the case where a motor is restarted immediately after it has been running when compared to the situation where a
motor has been allowed to cool down before restarting. The MX control provides adjustable hot motor overload compensation to
fully protect the motor in these cases.
If the hot and cold maximum locked rotor times are provided, the MX Hot/Cold Ratio parameter value can be calculated as follows:
 Max Hot Locked Rotor Time 

OL H/C Ratio = 1 −  x 100 %
 Max Cold Locked Rotor Time 
If no motor information is available, a Hot/Cold ratio value of 60% is usually a good starting point.
The MX control will adjust the actual motor overload content based on the programmed Hot/Cold Ratio set point and the present
running current of the motor so that the accumulated motor overload content will accurately track the thermal condition of the motor.
If the motor current is constant, the overload content will eventually reach a steady state value. This value is derived as follows:
Current 1
OLss = OL H/C Ratio × ×
FLA Current Imbalance Derate Factor
The running OL content is also adjusted based on the derating factor due to the presence of any current imbalances and or harmonics.
If the existing motor overload content is less than the calculated running OL content, the motor overload will exponentially increase
the overload content until the appropriate running overload content level is achieved. If the existing motor overload content is greater
than the calculated running OL content level, the overload will exponentially cool down or decrease to the appropriate running
107
Motor Overload
overload content level. The rate of the running motor overload heating or cooling is controlled by the Motor Cooling Time
parameter.
The following diagram illustrates how the current and the OL H/C Ratio parameter determine the steady state overload content. It
assumes there is no current imbalance.

At time T0, the motor current is 100%FLA and the OL H/C Ratio is set at 30%. It is assumed that the motor has been running for
some time and the motor overload content has reached a steady state value of 30% (30% H/C Ratio x 100% FLA = 30%).
At time T1, the motor current drops to 50%FLA. The motor overload content exponentially cools to a new steady state value of 15%
(30% H/C Ratio x 50% FLA = 15%).
At time T2, the OL H/C Ratio is set to 80%. The motor overload content exponentially rises to a new steady state value of 40% (80%
H/C Ratio x 50% FLA = 40%).
At time T3 the motor current rises back up to 100%FLA. The motor overload content exponentially rises to a new steady state value
of 80% (80% H/C Ratio x 100% FLA= 80%).
8.1.7 Separate Starting and Running Motor Overload Settings
If desired, separate overload classes can be programmed for use during starting and during running. The motor overload protection
may also be disabled during starting or during normal running. In order to enable separate overload settings the Independent Start /
Run OL parameter needs to be set on to allow independent overload operation. Once set to independent “ON”, the individual Start
and Run OL class parameters can be set to either off or the desired overload class settings.
The Starting OL parameter value is used for the motor overload calculations when the starter is starting the motor (kick mode,
acceleration, and running before up-to-speed has been declared). Once the motor has reached full speed and during deceleration or
braking, the Running OL class is used for the motor overload calculations. As the motor protection curves shift from the acceleration
curve to the running curve, the accumulated overload content will be retained to provide a seamless transition from one mode of
operation to the other.
Disabling the Starting OL function or using a higher OL class for the Starting OL can be useful on extremely high inertial loads such
as large centrifuges or high friction loads that require very long starting periods.
108
Motor Overload
NOTE: When Independent Start/Stop OL is set “OFF”, the running OL is used at all times.
NOTE: When one or the other overload is disabled, the Hot/Cold motor compensation is still active. Therefore the motor overload
content may still slowly increase or decrease depending on the measured motor current. However if the motor overload is disabled in
one of the operating modes, the motor overload content will be limited in that mode to a maximum of 99%. Therefore a motor
overload trip can not occur.
CAUTION: When both overloads are disabled, the accumulated overload content will be set to zero (0%) and the starter will
provide no motor overload protection. External motor overload protection must be provided to prevent motor damage and/or the risk
of fire in the case of a motor overload.
8.1.8 Motor Cooling While Stopped
The Motor 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
t
OL Content = OL Content wh en Stopped * e CoolingTime
When the motor is stopped, the motor overload will cool as shown in the following figure.

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 Cooling Time parameter:
60 minutes
Motor Cooling Time (minutes) ≈
Starts per hour
The MX’s Cooling Time parameter is defined as the time that it takes for the motor to cool from 100% overload content to less than
1% overload content. Sometimes a motor manufacturer may provide a cooling time constant (τ or tau) value. In these cases, the MX
motor cooling time parameter should be set to five (5) times the specified time constant value.
8.1.9 Motor Cooling when Running
When the motor is running, the Motor Cooling Time parameter and the H/C Ratio parameter settings control the motor OL content.
If the motor overload content is above the steady state OL running level (See section 8.1.6 Hot/Cold Motor Compensation for more
details) the motor OL will exponentially cool to the appropriate steady state OL level. When the motor is running, the cooling time
will be adjusted based on the measured current level and current imbalance level that the motor is operating at.
Measured Running Current 1

Cooling Time Running = Cooling Time Stopped * *
Motor FLA Current Imbalance Derate Factor
In all cases, the running motor cooling time will be shorter (motor will cool faster) than when the motor is stopped. The faster cooling
results because it is assumed that when a motor is running, cooling air is being applied to the motor.
8.1.10 Emergency Motor Overload Reset
The MX control has an emergency motor overload reset feature that allows the user to override the overload starter lockout.
To perform an emergency overload reset, simultaneously press the RESET and DOWN buttons on the keypad. An emergency overload
reset may also be performed by applying 120 Volts to a digital input that is configured as an emergency overload reset input or by
setting the emergency overload reset bit in the stator control modbus register
CAUTION: This feature should only be used in an emergency. Before an emergency reset is performed the cause of the motor
overload should be investigated to ensure that the motor is capable of restarting without causing undesired motor or load damage.
When the emergency motor overload reset is used, the accumulated motor overload content will be reset back to zero (0%).
Therefore the MX’s motor protection functions may not be able to fully protect the motor from damage during a restart after
performing an emergency motor overload reset.
110
8 – THEORY OF OPERATION
Motor Service Factor
8.2 Motor Service Factor
General 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.
NOTE: The NEC (National Electrical Code) does not allow the service factor to be set above 1.40.
Check with other local electrical codes for their requirements.
The National Electrical Code, article 430 Part C, allows for different overload multiplier factors
depending on the motor and operating conditions. NEC section 430-32 outlines the allowable service
factor for different motors as follows:
Motor Overload Multiplier

Service factor 1.15 or more 1.25
Motor temp. rise 40°C or less 1.25
All others 1.15
NEC section 430-34 permits further modifications if the service factor (Serv. Fact) is not sufficient to
start the motor:
Motor Overload Multiplier

Service factor 1.15 or more 1.40
Motor temp. rise 40°C or less 1.40
All others 1.30
Although the NEC does not address the effect of the ambient temperature of the motor location,
guidance can be derived by examining NEC limits. If the motor is operating in an ambient
temperature that is less than 40°C, then the overload multiplier can be increased while still protecting
the motor from exceeding it’s maximum designed temperature. The following curve gives the
ambient temperature versus the correction factor.
Example: If a motor operates at 0°C, then a 1.36 correction factor could be applied to the overload
multiplier. This could give a theoretical overload multiplier of 1.36 x 1.25 or 1.70. The highest legal
NEC approved value of overload multiplier is 1.40, so this could be used.
111
Acceleration Control
8.3 Acceleration Control
8.3.1 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.

Initial Current The initial current should be set to the level that allows the motor to begin rotating within a couple of
seconds of receiving a start command.
50% to 175%.
Maximum Current For most applications, the maximum current can be left at 600%. This will ensure that enough current
is applied to the motor to accelerate it to full speed.
The maximum current can also be set to a lower current limit. This is usually done to limit the
voltage drop on the power system or to limit the torque the motor produces to help prevent damage to
the driven load.
NOTE: The motor may achieve full speed at any time during the current ramp. This means that the
maximum current setting may not be reached. Therefore, the maximum current setting is the most
current that could ever reach the motor, and not necessarily the maximum current that will reach the
motor.
NOTE: When setting a current limit, the motor must be monitored to ensure that the current is high
enough to allow the motor to reach full speed under worst case load conditions.
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.
112
maximum current level until either the motor reaches full speed, the Up to Speed time expires, or the
motor thermal overload trips.
8.3.2 Programming A Kick Current
General The kick current sets a constant current level that is applied to the motor before the ramp begins. The
kick current is only useful on motor loads that are hard to get rotating but then are much easier to
move once they are rotating. An example of a load that is hard to get rotating is a ball mill. The ball
mill requires a high torque to get it to rotate the first quarter turn (90°). Once the ball mill is past 90°
of rotation, the material inside will begin tumbling and it is easier to turn.
Kick Level The kick current parameter is usually set to a low value and then the kick time is adjusted to get the
motor rotating. If the kick time is set to more than 2.0 seconds without the motor rotating, increase
the kick current by 100% and re-adjust the kick time.
Kick Time The kick time adjustment should begin at 0.5 seconds and be adjusted by 0.1 or 0.2 second intervals
until the motor begins rotating. If the kick time is adjusted above 2.0 seconds without the motor
rotating, start over with a higher kick current setting.
8.3.3 TruTorque Acceleration Control Settings and Times
General TruTorque acceleration control is a closed loop torque based control. The primary purpose of
TruTorque acceleration control is to smoothly start motors and to reduce the torque surge that can
occur as an AC induction motor comes up to speed. This torque surge can be a problem in
applications such as pumps and belt driven systems. In pumping applications, this torque surge can
result in a pressure peak as the motor comes up to speed. In most situations this small pressure peak
is not a problem. However in selected cases, even a small pressure rise can be highly undesirable. In
belt driven applications, TruTorque can prevent the slipping of belts as the motor reaches full speed.

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. TruTorque control is not recommended for the starting of AC
synchronous motors.
Initial Torque This parameter sets the initial torque level that the motor will produce at the beginning of the starting
ramp profile. A typical value is 10% to 20%. If the motor starts too quickly or the initial torque level
is too high, reduce this parameter. If the motor does not start rotating within a few seconds after a
start is commanded, increase this parameter. If the value is set too low a “No Current at Run” fault
may occur.
Maximum Torque This parameter sets the final or maximum torque level that the motor will produce at the end of the
ramp time during acceleration. For a loaded motor, the maximum torque value initially should be set
to 100% or greater. If the maximum torque value is set too low, the motor may not produce enough
torque to reach full speed and may stall. On lightly loaded motors, this parameter may be reduced
below 100% to produce smoother starts.
If the motor can be started by using the default TruTorque acceleration parameter values or another
ramp profile, the Maximum Torque level can be determined more precisely so that the motor will
come up to speed in approximately the preset ramp time. In this case, while the motor is running
fully loaded, display the TruTorque percent (TT%) meter on the display. Record the value displayed.
The Maximum Torque level should then be set to the recorded full load value of TT% plus an
additional 10%. Restart the motor with this value to verify correct operation.
Note: When setting the Maximum Torque value the motor must be monitored to ensure that the
torque level is high enough to allow the motor to reach full speed under worst case load conditions.
Note: Depending on loading, the motor many achieve full speed at any time during the TruTorque
ramp. This means that the Maximum Torque level many never be achieved. Therefore, the
maximum torque level is the maximum TruTorque level that will be permitted. However the motor
torque may not necessarily reach this value during all starts.
Ramp Time When in TruTorque acceleration mode, the ramp time setting is the time it takes for the torque to go
from the initial torque setting to the maximum torque setting. 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 will maintain the Maximum
Torque level until either the motor reaches full speed, UTS timer expires, or the motor thermal
overload protection trips.
Note: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor will take
that exact amount of time to accelerate to full speed. The motor and load may achieve full speed
before the ramp time expires if the load does not require the set ramp time or set torque level to reach
full speed. Alternately, the motor and load may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full
speed depending on the parameter settings and load level.
114
8.3.4 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. Power control also reduces the torque surge that can also occur as an AC induction
motor comes up to speed.

Power control acceleration can be very useful for a variety of applications. Power control generally
should not be used in applications where the starting load varies greatly during the start such as with
a reciprocating compressor. Power control is not recommended for starting of AC synchronous
motors.
Initial Power This parameter sets the initial power level that the motor will draw at the beginning of the starting
ramp profile. A typical value is usually 10% to 30%. If the motor starts too quickly or the initial
power level is too high, reduce this parameter. If the motor does not start rotating within a few
seconds after a start is commanded, increase this parameter. If this value is set too low a “No Current
at Run” fault may occur.
Maximum Power This parameter sets the final or maximum power level that the motor will produce at the end of the
ramp time during acceleration. For a loaded motor, the maximum power level initially should be set
to 100% or greater. If the maximum power level value is set too low, the motor may not produce
enough torque to reach full speed and may stall. On lightly loaded motors, this parameter may be
reduced below 100% to produce smoother starts.
If the motor can be started by using the default Power acceleration parameter values or the Current
control ramp, the Maximum Power level can be determined more precisely so that the motor will
come up to speed in approximately the preset ramp time. In this case, while the motor is running
fully loaded, display the Power percent (KW%) meter on the display. Record the value displayed.
The Maximum Power level should then be set to the recorded full load value of KW% plus an
additional 5% to 10%. Restart the motor with this value to verify correct operation.
Note: When setting the Maximum Power level, the motor must be monitored to ensure that the
starting power is high enough to allow the motor to reach full speed under worst case load conditions.
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
115
level is the maximum power level that will be 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. 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 will maintain the Maximum
Power level until either the motor reaches full speed, the UTS timer expires, or the motor thermal
overload protection trips.
Note : Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor will take
that exact amount of time to accelerate to full speed. The motor and load may achieve full speed
before the ramp time expires if the load does not require the set ramp time or set power level to reach
full speed. Alternately, the motor and load may take longer than the set ramp time to achieve full
speed depending on the parameter settings and load level.
116
8.3.5 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 will tend to be reduced; however, the current will not be
limited to any particular level. This starting mode it is not commonly used except in special circumstances. In most
applications, the use of one of the other closed loop starting profiles is recommended
Figure 18 – Voltage Ramp

Initial Voltage This parameter sets the initial voltage level that is applied to the motor. To adjust the starting voltage level, give the
starter a run command and observe the motor operation. If the motor starts too quickly reduce the initial voltage level. If
the motor does not start rotating immediately or starts too slowly then increase the initial voltage level until the motor just
starts to rotate when a start command is given. If the initial voltage level is set too low a Fault 39 – No Current at Run
may occur. In this case increase the initial voltage level to permit more current to initially flow to the motor.
Ramp Time The ramp time setting is the time that it takes for the applied voltage to go from the initial voltage level to the full voltage
(100%) level. To make the motor accelerate faster, decrease the ramp time. To make the motor accelerate slower
increase the ramp time.
Note: Setting the ramp time to a specific value does not necessarily mean that the motor will take this time to accelerate
to full speed. The motor and load may achieve full speed before the ramp time expires if the application does not require
the set ramp time and/or voltage to reach full speed. Alternatively, the motor and load may take longer than the set ramp
time to achieve full speed.
117
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 will be 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. If the surge still occurs set the UTS time to a lower time until the surging
subsides. If motor surging continues to be a problem it is recommended that one of the other standard MX closed-loop
starting profiles be used.

8.3.6 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. The Current Ramp 2 is programmed using the parameters Initial
Current 2, Maximum Current 2, and Ramp Time 2. Kick Current 1 profile is programmed using the
parameters Kick Level 1 and Kick Time 1. Kick Current 2 profile is programmed using the
parameters Kick Level 2 and Kick Time 2.
Acceleration Ramp Selection Current Ramp 2 and Kick Current 2 starting profiles are selected by programming a digital input to
the Ramp Select function and then energizing that input by applying 120 Volts to it. When a digital
input is programmed to Ramp Select, but de-energized, Current Ramp 1 and Kick Current 1 are
selected. When no digital inputs are programmed to the Ramp Select function the Ramp 1 profile is
used.
The Ramp Select input only affects the starting profile when using a current ramp profile and during
a kick. The Ramp Select input does not affect the TruTorque ramp, Power ramp, or the Voltage ramp
profile (unless kicking is enabled at the beginning of those ramps).
The following table summarizes which parameters affect the starting profile when a digital input is
programmed to the Ramp Select function and that input is either energized or de-energized.

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:
Note: Once the motor has achieved an up-to-speed status (UTS), changes to the Ramp
Select input will have no effect on the motor operation.

Deceleration Control
8.4 Deceleration Control
8.4.1 Voltage Control Deceleration
Overview The deceleration control on the MX control uses an open loop voltage ramp. The control will ramp
the voltage down to decelerate the motor. The curve shows the motor voltage versus the decel setting.
Figure 21 – Motor Voltage Versus Decel Level
Beginning Level This sets the starting voltage of the deceleration ramp. Most motors require the voltage to drop to
around 60% or lower before any significant deceleration is observed. Therefore, a good first setting
for this parameter is 35%.
To adjust this parameter, it is necessary to observe the motor operation as soon as a stop is
commanded. If the motor hunts (speed oscillations) at the beginning of the deceleration, then lower
the parameter by 5%. If the motor has a big drop in speed as soon as a stop is commanded, then raise
the parameter by 5%.
Some motors are very sensitive to the adjustment of this parameter. If a 5% adjustment changes the
motor from hunting to dropping in speed, then a smaller change of 1% or 2% may be necessary.
Ending Level This sets the final voltage for the deceleration ramp. In most cases, this parameter can be set to 10%
and the decel time can be used to adjust the deceleration rate. If the motor is coming to a stop too
quickly or if the starter continues to apply current to the motor after the motor has stopped, this
parameter can be increased in 5% increments to fix this.
Decel Time The decel time sets how quickly the motor decelerates. Usually a time of 30 seconds is a good
starting point. To make the motor take longer to decelerate, increase this parameter or to make the
motor decelerate quicker, decrease this parameter.
Note: Deceleration control will provide a smoother stop, however the motor will take longer to stop
than if it was just allowed to coast to stop.

Deceleration Control
8.4.2 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 hammer, must be eliminated. The MX controller will linearly reduce
the motor’s torque to smoothly decelerate the motor and load. TruTorque deceleration is very easy to
use with only two parameters to set.

Beginning Level TruTorque deceleration control automatically calculates the motor loading when the stop command
was given and uses this value as the beginning level for the TruTorque deceleration ramp. Therefore
there is no user parameter to set and the calculated beginning torque value provides a very smooth
transition from running to deceleration.
Ending Level The decel end level parameter sets the ending torque level for the TruTorque deceleration ramp
profile.
A typical TruTorque decel end level setting is between 10% and 20%. If the motor stops rotating
before the deceleration time has expired, increase this parameter value. If the motor is still rotating
when the deceleration time has expired, decrease this parameter value.
Decel Time The decel time sets the ramp time between the motor torque level when stop was commanded and the
decel end torque level.
If the motor stops rotating before the decel time has expired, decrease the decel time parameter. If
the motor is still rotating when the decel time expires, increase the decel time parameter.

Wye Delta Opeartion
8.5 Wye-Delta Operation
When the MX control Starter Type parameter (FUN 07, P64) is set to Wye-Delta, the MX control is configured to operate an
electromechanical Wye-Delta (Star-Delta) 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
The MX control utilizes an intelligent Wye to Delta transition algorithm. If during starting the measured motor current drops below
85% of FLA and more than 25% of the UTS / Transition Time (QST 09, P9) has elapsed then a Wye to Delta transition will occur.
The intelligent transition algorithm prevents unnecessarily prolonged motor starts thereby reducing motor heating. If a Wye to Delta
transition has not already occurred, a transition will always occur when the complete UTS / Transition Time (QST 09, P9) expires.
The MX control can operate two configurations of Wye-Delta starters, open transition and closed transition. An open transition
starter momentarily disconnects the motor from the input line during the transition from Wye to Delta operating mode. A closed
transition starter uses resistors that are inserted during the transition so that the motor is never completely disconnected from the input
line. The presence of these resistors in a closed transition starter smoothes the transition from Wye to Delta operating mode. A
typical closed transition Wye-Delta starter schematic is shown in Figure 10.
For the Wye-Delta starter mode to operate properly, one output relay needs to be programmed to the RUN output function and
another output relay needs to be programmed to the UTS output function. (Refer to parameters I/0 04-06, P42-44 for more
information)
Based on the typical closed transition schematic shown in Figure 10 – Wye Delta Motor Connection to the MX Control, when a start
command is given the starter will enter the Wye starting mode by energizing the relay programmed as RUN.
The transition to Wye (Starting) mode occurs as follows:
1. Start command is given to the starter.
2. The RUN relay is energized which energizes the 1S contactor.
3. When the 1S contactor pulls in, the 1M contactor is energized.
The MX starter will remain in the Wye mode until either:
1. The start command is removed.
2. The Transition Time (QST 09, P9) expires
or
The measured motor current is less than 85% of FLA and at least 25% of the Transition Time (QST 09, P9) has elapsed.
3. A fault occurs.
When the Transition Time (QST 09, P9) expires, the starter will change from Wye starting mode to the Delta or normal running
mode by energizing the relay programmed as UTS. In Delta mode, the RUN and UTS relays are both energized and the motor is
connected in the normal running Delta configuration.
The transition to Delta (Run) mode occurs as follows:
1. The Transition Time (QST 09, P9) expires
or
The measured motor current is less than 85% of FLA and at least 25% of the Transition Time (QST 09, P9) has elapsed.
2. The UTS relay is energized which energizes the 2S contactor.

123
Wye Delta Opeartion

3. When the 2S contactor pulls in, resistors are inserted in the circuit and the 1S contactor is DE-energized.
4. When the 1S contactor drops out the 2M contactor is energized.
5. When the 2M contactor is pulled in, feedback can be sent to the MX control board to confirm that the transition sequence
to Delta is complete.
The starter will remain in the Delta or running mode until the start command is removed or a fault occurs.
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 sometimes, based on the motor and loading, the Wye to Delta transition will occur only
after the Transition Time has expired. In order to reduce the current surge that can take place during the transition from Wye to Delta
mode, the Transition Time parameter (QST 09, P9) should be adjusted so that the transition occurs as close to full speed as possible
within the constraints of the load. If the transition time is set too short, a large current and torque surge may occur during the
transition. If the transition time is set too long, the motor may not have sufficient torque to continue accelerating when in Wye mode
and may stop accelerating at a low speed until the transition to Delta mode occurs. If this occurs, the start is unnecessarily prolonged
and motor heating is increased.
A typical closed transition Wye-Delta starting current profile is shown in Figure 23.

Transition from Wye to Delta mode
A digital input (I/O 01-03, P39-41) can be programmed as a 2M contactor feedback input. This input provides verification that the
2M contactor has fully closed preventing operation when the transition resistors are still connected in the motor circuit. The use of
this feedback is recommended to prevent the overheating of the transition resistors if the 2M contactor does not close properly. The
2M confirmation trip time can be adjusted by modifying the Bypass / 2M Confirm parameter (I/O 16, P54).
Note: When in Wye-Delta mode, the acceleration ramp, kick, and deceleration settings have no effect on motor operation.
Note: When in Wye-Delta mode, the SCR gate outputs are disabled.

Phase Control
8.6 Phase Control
When the MX control Starter Type parameter (FUN 07, P64) is set to Phase Control, the MX control 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 outputs will energize. The firing angles of the SCRs will be directly controlled based on voltage or current applied to the
Analog Input.

Analog Input (%)
A reference input value of 0% will result in no output. A reference input value of 100% will result in full (100%) output voltage.
The actual input voltage / current that results in a given output can be adjusted through the use of the Analog Input Offset (I/O 11,
P49) and the Analog Input Span (I/O 10, P48) parameters.
The Phase Control mode has many uses. Two typical applications are use in master/slave starter configurations and as a basic phase
controller.
Phase Controller:
When in Phase Control mode, the MX controller can function as a general phase controller. Phase control can be used to directly
control the voltage applied to motors, resistive heaters, etc. When in Voltage Control mode, the phase angle of the SCRs and hence
the voltage applied is directly controlled based on the measured analog input signal. The MX controller’s reference command can be
generated from any 0-10V, 0-20mA, or similar sources such as a potentiometer, another MX controller, or an external controller
such as a PLC.
Master/Slave Starter (Lead/Follower) 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 (FUN 07, P64) of the
“master” starter should be configured appropriately as a Soft Starter (normal or ID), Phase Controller, or Current Follower. If
configured as a soft starter, the acceleration and deceleration profiles will need to be configured for proper operation.
To configure a master / slave application:
1. The analog output of the master MX control card needs to be connected to the analog input(s) of the slave card(s).
125
Phase Control
2. The master MX control card’s analog output needs to be configured. Set the Analog Output Function parameter (I/O 12,
P50) to option 10 or “0 – 100% firing”. The analog output span parameter (I/O 13, P51) should be set to provide a 0 –
10V or 0-20 milliamp output to the slave starter(s). Adjust analog output jumper (JP1) to provide either a voltage or a
current output.
Set the slave MX control card’s Starter Type parameter (FUN 07, P64) to Phase Control and verify that the Analog input
offset (I/O 11, P49) and span (I/O 10, P48) parameters are set to accept the master signal.
3. The slave MX control cards need to be provided with a start command from the master MX card. A RUN programmed
relay from the master MX controller can be used to provide the start command to the slave controllers. The slave card(s)
Control Source parameter settings need to be set appropriately.
4. The slave MX control card analog input(s) need to be configured for the appropriate voltage or current input signal type.
Set the analog input jumper (JP3) to the desired input type.
For additional master / slave application information consult factory.
Note: The power stack must be rated for continuous non-bypassed duty in order to operate in Phase Control mode
continuously, NO BYPASS.
Note: When operating in Phase Control mode, the acceleration ramp, kick, and deceleration settings have no effect on
operation.
Note: When in Phase Control mode the following motor / starter protective functions are available:
- Current Imbalance
- Over Current
- Under Current
- Over Voltage
- Under Voltage
- Over Frequency
- Under Frequency
- Phase Loss
- Phase Rotation
- Current while Stopped.
- Motor OL
- Residual Ground Fault
- Instantaneous Over Current (IOC)
126
Current Follower
8.7 Current Follower
When the MX control Starter Type parameter (FUN07, P64) is set to Current Follower, the MX control 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. The MX controllers reference command can be generated from any 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA source such as a
potentiometer, another MX controller, or an external controller such as a PLC. When a start command is given, the RUN
programmed relay output will energize and the SCRs will be gated.

Analog Input (%)
A reference input value of 0% will result in no output. A reference input value of 100% will result in a current output equal to the
FLA setting (QST1, P1). The actual voltage or current input that results in a given output can be adjusted through the use of the
Analog Input Offset (I/O 11, P49) and Analog Input Span (I/O 10, P48) user parameters.
Note: The power stack must be rated for continuous non-bypassed duty in order to operate in Current Follower mode continuously.
Note: When operating in Current Follower mode, the acceleration ramp, kick, and deceleration settings have no effect on operation.
Note: When in Current Follower mode the following motor / starter protective functions are available:
- Current Imbalance - Phase Loss

- Over Current - Phase Rotation
- Under Current - Current while Stopped.
- Over Voltage - Motor OL
- Under Voltage - Residual Ground Fault
- Over Frequency - Instantaneous Over Current (IOC)
- Under Frequency

Across The Line / Full Voltage Operation
8.8 Across The Line / Full Voltage Operation
When the MX control Starter Type parameter (FUN 07, P64) is set to ATL, the MX control is configured to operate an
electromechanical full voltage or across-the-line (ATL) starter.
In the ATL configuration, the MX controller expects that the motor contactor (1M) will be directly controlled by a digital output
relay that is programmed for the RUN function. Therefore, when a start command is given, the RUN programmed relay will energize
the motor contactor, which will apply power to the motor. When the MX controller has determined that the motor has reached full
speed, the up-to-speed (UTS) condition will be indicated by energizing the UTS programmed relays. When configured as an ATL
starter, all MX motor and starter protective functions except bad SCR detection and power stack overload are available to provide full
motor and starter protection.

8-THEORY OF OPERATION
Using Modbus Communication
8.10 Using Modbus
Supported Commands The MX Control supports the following Modbus commands:

• Read Holding Registers (03 hex)
• Read Input Registers (04 hex)
• Preset Single Register (06 hex)
• Preset Multiple Registers (10 hex)
Up to 64 registers may be read or written with a single command.
Modbus Register Addresses The Modbus specification defines holding registers to begin at 40001 and input registers to begin at
30001. Holding registers may be read and written. Input registers may only be read.
In the MX Control, the register maps are identical for both the holding registers and the input
registers. For example, the Motor FLA parameter is available both in holding register 40050 and in
input register 30050. This is why the register addresses in the appendix are listed with both numbers
(e.g. 30050/40050).
Cable Specifications Good quality twisted, shielded communications cable should be used when connecting to the Modbus
port on the MX Control. The cable should contain two twisted pairs and have an overall shield. Use
one pair of conductors for the A(-) and B(+) signals. Use the other pair of conductors for the
Common signal. The cable should adhere to the following specifications.
• Conductors: 2 twisted pair
• Impedance: 100 Ohm to 120 Ohm
• Capacitance: 16 pF/ft or less
• Shield: Overall shield or individual pair shields
Examples of cables that meet these specifications are Belden part number 9842 and Alpha Wire part
number 6412.
Terminating Resistors The MX Control contains a jumper site (JP2) located next to the Modbus connection terminals for
installing a 120 Ohm impedance matching terminating resistor. Installing a jumper on JP2 connects a
120 Ohm resistor between the RS-485 A(-) and B(+) lines.
The purpose of terminating resistors is to eliminate signal reflections that can occur at the end of a
network trunk line. In general, terminating resistors are not needed unless the bit rate is very high, or
the network is very long. In fact, terminating resistors place a large load on the network and may
reduce the number of drops that may be placed on the network.
The maximum baud rate of 19,200 supported by the MX Control is not high enough to warrant a
terminating resistor unless the network is extremely long (3,000 feet or more). A jumper should only
be installed on the MX if signal reflection is known to be a problem and only if the MX Control is at
the end of the network. Terminating resistors should never be installed on nodes that are not at the
end of the network.
Grounding RS-485 buses with isolated nodes are most immune to noise when the bus is not connected to earth
ground at any point. If electrical codes require that the bus be connected to earth ground, then the
Common signal should be connected to earth ground at one point and one point only. If the Common
signal is connected to earth ground at more than one point, then significant currents can flow through
the Common signal when earth ground potentials are different at those points. This can cause damage
to devices attached to the bus.
Shielding The shield should be continuous from one end of the trunk to the other. The shield must be tied to the
RS-485 Common signal at one point and one point only. If the shield is not tied to Common at any
point or is tied to Common at more than one point, then its effectiveness at eliminating noise is
greatly reduced.
130
Starter
Controller
or
Computer
The terminating resistors in many cases are not required. If there is a lot of noise on the line or the line is several hundred (100) feet
long or greater, then the terminating resistors may be required. The resistor is 120 ohm ¼ Watt in size.
The shield, which is not shown, is connected to ground at one end of the line, not at each device. If connected at each device,
ground loops may be induced in the starters.

Appendix C – Alarm Codes
The following is a list of all MX alarm codes. The alarm codes correspond to associated fault codes. In general, an alarm indicates a
condition that if continued, will result in the associated fault.
Alarm Description Notes

Code
A02 Motor Overload Alarm This occurs when the motor thermal content reaches the
90%. The MX will trip when it reaches 100%. The alarm
will continue until the overload trip lockout is reset.
A10 Phase Rotation not ABC This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and line voltage
is detected and phase sensitivity parameter is set to ABC.
If a start is commanded, a Fault 10 will occur.
A11 Phase Rotation not CBA This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and line voltage
is detected and phase sensitivity parameter is set to CBA.
If a start is commanded, a Fault 11 will occur.
A12 Low Line Frequency This alarm exists when the MX has detected a line
frequency below the user defined low line frequency level.
The alarm will continue until either the line frequency
changes to be in range or the fault delay timer has expired.
A13 High Line Frequency This alarm exists when the MX has detected a line
frequency above the user defined high line frequency level.
The alarm will continue until either the line frequency
changes to a valid frequency or the fault delay timer has
expired.
A14 Input power not single phase This alarm exists while the MX is stopped, set to single
phase mode, and line voltage is detected. If a start is
commanded, a Fault 14 will occur.
A15 Input power not three phase This alarm exists while the MX is stopped, set to a three-
phase mode, and single-phase line voltage is detected. If a
start is commanded, a Fault 15 will occur.
A21 Low Line L1-L2 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and low line
voltage is detected. If a start is commanded, a Fault 21
may occur.
may occur.
may occur.
A24 High Line L1-L2 This alarm exists while the MX is stopped and high line
may occur.
may occur.
may occur.
A27 Phase Loss This alarm exists while the MX is running and a phase loss
condition is detected, but the delay for the fault has not yet
expired. When the delay expires, a Fault 27 will occur.
A28 No Line This alarm exists while the MX needs to be synced or is
trying to sync to the line and no line is detected.
A31 Overcurrent This alarm exists while the MX is running and the average
current is above the defined threshold, but the delay for the
fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault
31 will occur.
A34 Undercurrent This alarm exists while the MX is running and the average
current is below the defined threshold, but the delay for the
fault has not yet expired. When the delay expires, a Fault
34 will occur.
A35 Reserved

A36 Reserved
A37 Current Imbalance This alarm exists while the MX is running and a current
imbalance above the defined threshold is detected, but the
delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay
expires, a Fault 37 will occur.
A38 Ground Fault This alarm exists while the MX is running and a ground
current above the defined threshold is detected, but the
delay for the fault has not yet expired. When the delay
expires, a Fault 38 will occur.
A47 Stack Overload Alarm This occurs when the stack thermal rises above 105%.
A53 Reserved
A71 Analog Input #1 Trip This alarm will exist if analog input #1 exceeds the defined
threshold, but the delay for the fault has not yet expired.
When the delay expires, a Fault 71 will occur.

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 Run/Stop bit must be set back to a 0 before another start
can occur.
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.
The Relay Bits may be written to in order to control the relays, if the relays are programmed as “OFF”. If the relays are
programmed for any function other than “OFF” ( Fault, Run, UTS for example), then the relay bits may be read to
determine the state of the relays.
Watts, VA, vars, and kW hour Regiaters
These meter registers presenta 32 bit meter in two consecutive 16 bit registers. The least significent 16 bits are te first
register followed by the most significent 16 bit register.
Reading the least significent register laches data into the most significent register so that the data remains synhronized
betweenthe two.
