Chapter Product Overview Description The SMC Dialog Plus controller offers a full range of starting modes as standard: • Soft Start with Selectable Kickstart • Current Limit Start with Selectable Kickstart • Dual Ramp Start • Full Voltage Start Other features that offer further user benefit include: •...
The acceleration ramp time is user-adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds. If the SMC Dialog Plus controller senses that the motor has reached the up-to-speed condition during the voltage ramp operation, the output voltage automatically switches to full voltage.
Limit level is user-adjustable from 50 to 600% of the motor full load ampere rating; and the current limit time is user-adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds. If the SMC Dialog Plus controller senses that the motor has reached the up-to-speed condition during the current limit starting mode, the output voltage automatically switches to full voltage.
Product Overview Starting Modes (cont.) Dual Ramp Start ① This starting mode is useful on applications that have varying loads (and therefore varying starting torque requirements). Dual Ramp Start allows the user to select between two separate Soft Start profiles with separately adjustable ramp times and initial torque settings.
The Energy Saver feature is typically used in applications where the motor is lightly loaded or unloaded for extended periods of time. With the Energy Saver feature enabled, the SMC Dialog Plus controller continuously monitors motor load with its internal feedback circuitry.

Chapter Installation Receiving It is the responsibility of the user to thoroughly inspect the equipment before accepting the shipment from the freight company. Check the item(s) received against the purchase order. If any items are damaged, it is the responsibility of the user not to accept delivery until the freight agent has noted the damage on the freight bill.
1170 1400 2025 2250 2400 2760 Enclosures The open-style design of the SMC Dialog Plus controller requires that it be installed in an enclosure. The internal temperature of the enclosure must be kept within the range of 0°C to 50°C.
Non-ventilated Enclosures For Type 12 (IP54) or non-ventilated enclosures, it is recommended that a bypass contactor be used. This will allow the SMC Dialog Plus controller to bring the motor up-to-speed. After the controller is up to full voltage, it is bypassed. Note that the Energy Saver, Phase Rebalance, some metering functions, and some protective features of the controller may no longer be available.
Installation Mounting The controller is convection cooled. Additionally, units rated for 97A and above are fan cooled. It is important to locate the controller in a position that allows air to flow vertically through the power module. The controller must be mounted with heatsink fins in a vertical plane and have a minimum of six inches (15 cm) free space above and below the controller.
Correction Capacitors line side of the controller. This must be done to prevent damage to the SCRs in the SMC Dialog Plus controller. When discharged, a capacitor essentially has zero impedance. For switching, sufficient impedance should be connected in series with the capacitor bank to limit the inrush current.
2-10 Installation Fast Acting Short-circuit protection guidelines are provided in Appendix A of this manual. Enhanced SCR protection may be obtained with the use of Current-limiting fast acting current-limiting fuses. Table 2.C provides a listing of Fuses fuses that are coordinated to protect the controller SCRs in the event of a ground fault or short-circuit at the connected load.
Overload Class parameter must be programmed to OFF and separate overload relays must be provided for each speed. Multi-motor Protection If the SMC Dialog Plus controller is controlling more than one motor, individual overload protection is required for each motor.

Open gate indicates that an abnormal condition that causes faulty firing (i.e., open SCR gate) has been sensed during the start sequence. The SMC Dialog Plus controller will attempt to start the motor a total of three times before the controller shuts down.
ATTENTION: Hazardous voltage is present in the motor circuit even when the SMC Dialog Plus controller is off. To avoid shock hazard, disconnect main power before working on the controller, motor, or control devices such as Start-Stop push buttons.
