Basic Setup - Rockwell Automation SMC Dialog Plus User Manual

Basic Setup

The Basic Setup programming group provides a limited parameter
set, allowing quick start-up with minimal adjustment. If the user is
planning to implement some of the advanced features (i.e., Dual
Ramp, Phase Rebalance, etc.), then the Advanced Setup
programming group should be selected. It provides all the Basic
Setup parameter set plus the advanced set.
Parameter
SMC Option
Displays the type of controller. This is factory set and not
adjustable.
Starting Mode
Allows the user to program the SMC Dialog Plus
controller for the type of starting that best fits the
application.
Ramp Time #1
This sets the time period during which the controller will
ramp the output voltage.
Initial Torque #1 ①
The initial reduced voltage output level for the voltage
ramp is established and adjusted with this parameter.
②
Current Limit Level
This parameter provides adjustability for the reduced
output voltage level provided to the motor.
Kickstart Time
A boost of 550% of full load current is provided to the
motor for the programmed time period.
Stall Delay
Allows the user to program the stall protection delay
time. The delay time begins after the start time has
timed out.
Energy Saver
The Energy Saver feature monitors the motor load,
phasing back the voltage output to the motor when the
motor is lightly loaded or unloaded.
Aux Contacts 1&2
Form C contacts are provided as standard with the SMC
Dialog Plus controller. These contacts are located at
terminals 18, 19 and 20. Aux Contacts 1&2 allows the
user to configure the operation of the contacts.
Aux Contact 3
A third auxiliary contact is provided between terminals
29 and 30. Aux Contact 3 allows the user to program
the operation of the contact.
Contact 3 Config
This parameter provides the user with the ability to
program the "powered up" state of the third auxiliary
contact.
③
Parameter Mgmt
The newly programmed parameters' values can be
saved to memory, or the factory default parameter
values can be recalled.
①
Starting Mode must be programmed to Soft Start to obtain access to the Initial Torque parameter.
②
Starting Mode must be programmed to Current Limit to obtain access to the Current Limit Level
parameter.
③
The new programmed parameter values will not be stored to the EEPROM without the user's
direction in Parameter Management: Store In EE.
