    Figure 5‑34. VAR waveform STARTING MODES     The Thyro-PX power controller has enhanced starting modes that are used with special loads. These modes are used when the unit is started or restarted, and the restart behavior can be configured. RAMP Starting Mode This starting mode begins with a specially configured, one-time block, normally in the form of a ramp (default).

       The digital and dynamic dASM process offers the option of dynamic mains load optimization when multiple Thyro-PX power controllers operate in the TAKT mode. For systems in which there are multiple power controllers, individual power controllers are synchronized so that a regular mains load is achieved. This avoids random load peaks caused by multiple power controllers switching on at the same time.

    ® Advanced Energy Thyro-PX® Power Controller Errors in dASM Communication If the dASM communication between units is interrupted, then a new master is automatically generated in the system beyond the point of interruption. Notification: dASM device number is incorrect. For example, if a cable break causes an interruption between unit 6 and unit 7, the dASM system continues to run, and unit 1 now operates as a master only for units 1 to 6 and displays that an incorrect number of units are present in the dASM network.
