Response To Bus Errors / Control Via Digital Input - Siemens SIRIUS 3RW51 Equipment Manual

Functions

8.10 Response to bus errors / Control via digital input

Operating principle
The test mode function "Test with small load" is helpful during commissioning and when
troubleshooting, as the correct function of the application can be tested before installation in a
control cabinet or before the use of a motor provided for the application. The "Test with small
load" enables the wiring of the control and main circuit to be checked with the aid of a small
motor (test motor).
In the test mode function "Test with small load", the motor operating states and all functions and
messages can be executed and displayed by the 3RW51 soft starter as in normal operation.
If, during an active "Test with small load", the 3RW51 soft starter detects a lack of main current,
a fault is generated with a shutdown command and the message text "Line voltage for test
required". After connecting the 3RW51 soft starter to the main supply this error message can be
acknowledged with RESET.
The error monitoring functions that are to be attributed to a missing or inadequate main supply
are not active. The test mode function "Test with small load" remains active until the test mode
function is deactivated.
The motor and intrinsic device protection functions of the 3RW51 soft starter remain active
according to their parameterization and are not influenced by the test mode function "Test with
small load".
