Chapter 10 Functions Chapter 10 Functions This chapter describes all settings and functions possible in the softstarter, as well as the easiest way of finding them. The respective default values, setting ranges and parameter texts shown in the display are also stated. 10:1 Setting current Path in menu: Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/ Start/Stop / Setting Ie The setting of this parameter shall be according to the current the softstarter is exposed to.
Chapter 10 Functions 10:2 Start mode U Path in menu: Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/ Torque control/ Start Mode Start Using the PST softstarter it is possible to choose between two different types of start ramps. These are voltage ramp and torque ramp. Time rpm When using the voltage ramp, the voltage is increased linearly from the start level to full voltage during start. Since the torque depends on both the voltage and the current, the torque curve does not always follow the voltage curve.
Chapter 10 Functions 10:3 Stop mode U Path in menu: Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/ Torque control/ Stop Mode Stop Using the PST softstarter it is possible to choose between two different types of stop ramps. These are voltage ramp and torque ramp. Time Voltage ramp When using the voltage ramp, the voltage is decreased linearly from full voltage to the end voltage during stop. Since the torque depends on both the voltage and the current, the torque curve does not always follow the voltage curve.
Chapter 10 Functions 10:4 Tune torque control Path in menu: Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/Torque control/ Tune T-Ctrl With this parameter it is possible to change the speed of the regulator that regulates the voltage so that the torque will follow a predefined torque curve. In most cases, this parameter will not have to be changed from its default value which is 100%. If a dip occurs in the torque curve during stop, increasing this parameter can solve the problem.
Chapter 10 Functions 10:6 Stop ramp 1SFC132096F0001 Path in menu: Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/ Start/Stop / Stop Ramp Stop Figure 6: Stop ramp When a stop signal is given, the softstarter performs a stop ramp by controlling the output voltage to the motor so that either the voltage or the torque decreases from full voltage to end voltage, depending on which ramp type is selected. If the ramp time is set to 0, the softstarter will cut the voltage directly when the stop command is given.
Chapter 10 Functions 10:8 End voltage Path in menu: Menu/SETTINGS/Functional Settings/ Start/Stop / End Volt U 100% 1SFC132098F0001 70% This parameter makes it possible to set the voltage level where the stop ramp ends. The voltage or the torque will decrease from full voltage to this level and then cut the power to the motor. This function will be active only if parameter Stop ramp is used.

Chapter 11 Trouble shooting Chapter 11 Trouble shooting 11:1 General This chapter is a guide that can be used in case problems should arise with the softstarter or the application. The softstarter normally indicates a fault with LED Fault, and the LCD displays what type of fault it is. When a protection is activated it will be indicated with LED Protection and the LCD displays what type of protection is active. Faults not displayed in the softstarter can also be found in this chapter.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting 11:3 General problems and faults Status Possible cause Solution Motor humming / starts without given start signal. Shorted thyristor. • Check and replace. By-pass contactor stuck in closed position. • Check and correct the reason. Bad motor sound during start and operation. Inside Delta connection wrong. • Check and correct the wiring. Bad motor sound during stop. Wrong ramp time for stop.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting 11:4 Start up faults Status Power on Fault Possible cause Solution LCD Auto shut off the keypad. • Touch any key on the keypad. Protection Supply voltage is not connected. • Connect the Supply voltage according to the circuit diagram. Power on Fault Protection 11:5 Fault indication Status Possible cause Solution Phase loss fault The main contactor or circuit breaker is open • Check and close contactor / breaker or any external switching device. Fuse blown.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting Status Possible cause Solution Frequency fault The frequency is out of range. (47.5 - 52.5Hz or 57 - 63Hz) • Check and correct the frequency. The main voltage is not correct on the line side. • Check and correct voltage on the line side.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting Status Possible cause Solution Fieldbus fault The fieldbus communication is not working. • Check that the fieldbusplug is connected correctly. Power on Fault • Check that correct type of fieldbusplug is used. Protection Fault FB Timeout Reset Back By-pass doesn’t open fault Power on Fault • Check that the parameter Fieldbus Type is set according to the present fieldbus type. The by-pass contactor is not opening properly.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting Status Possible cause Solution Internal faults An internal communication fault of the softstarter has occurred. • Disconnect and reconnect the supply voltage (Us) and make a restart. Power on Fault Fault Intern 1 Reset Power on Fault Fault Intern 2 Reset Power on Fault Fault Intern 3 Reset Power on Fault Fault Intern 4 Reset Power on Fault Fault Intern 5 Reset 184 Protection • If same fault remains, contact your ABB sales office.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting 11:6 Protection indication Status Possible cause Overload protection The motor has been exposed to In Line an overload condition because At start the current over a certain time is • Check and correct the reason for the too high. overload. Check that current limit level is (The load on the motor shaft is not set too low. too high) Power on Fault Protection Prot Motor OL Reset Back Solution • Check that the ramp time for start is not too long.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting Status Possible cause Solution Underload protection The motor current is below set level and time. • Check and correct the reason for the underload. Power on Fault • Check that the settings are according to the operation conditions. Protection Prot Underload Reset Back Locked rotor protection Power on Fault Protection The motor is running stiff by • Check the bearings of the motor and some reason. load.
Chapter 11 Trouble shooting Status Possible cause PTC protection An over-temperature is detected • Check that the PTC circuit is closed and by the PTC thermistors in the that the inputs are connected. motor. • Check and correct the reason for the overheating. Power on Fault Prot PTC Reset Protection Back Thyristor overload protection The softstarter is too small. Too many starts / hour. The ramp time for start is too Power on Fault Protection long.
