Figure 314: Time delay for cumulative start
This module also protects the motor from consecutive start-ups. When the LOCK_START
output is active, T_RST_ENA shows the possible time for next restart. The value of
T_RST_ENA is calculated by the difference of Restart inhibit time and the elapsed time
from the instant LOCK_START is enabled.
When the ST_EMERG_ENA emergency start is set high, the value of the cumulative start-
up time counter is set to Cumulative time Lim - 60s · Emg start Red rate. This disables
LOCK_START and in turn makes the restart of the motor possible.
This module also calculates the total number of start-ups occurred, START_CNT. The
value can be reset from the Clear menu.
The calculated values of T_RST_ENA, T_ST_CNT and START_CNT are available in the
Monitored data view.
The activation of the BLK_LK_ST input signal deactivates the LOCK_START output.
The activation of the BLOCK input signal resets the cumulative start-up counter module.
Application
When a motor is started, it draws a current well in excess of the motor's full-load rating
throughout the period it takes for the motor to run up to the rated speed. The motor starting
current decreases as the motor speed increases and the value of current remains close to
the rotor-locked value for most of the acceleration period.
