  • Supports 15 customizable overload curves with hot/cold motor compensation and auto-reset features.
• Electrical Fault Protection:
  • Overcurrent, undercurrent, phase unbalance, ground fault (sensitive and standard), overvoltage/undervoltage, and phase reversal.
  • Acceleration time monitoring and locked rotor protection.
• Mechanical Jam/Stalled Rotor Detection:
  • Prevents mechanical damage by detecting blockages in pumps, fans, or conveyors.
• Voltage Monitoring:
  • Auxiliary undervoltage, VT fuse failure, and phase loss detection.
• Temperature Monitoring:
  • RTD (100 Ω Platinum) and thermistor inputs for motor winding and bearing temperature tracking.

Automation & Control Features

• FlexLogic™ Programmable Logic:
  • Customizable control sequences (e.g., starter control, process interlocks) via ladder logic or graphical programming.
  • Reduces dependency on external PLCs.
• Starter Control:
  • Supports reversing, reduced-voltage starting, and multi-speed applications.
• Auto-Restart Functionality:
  • Configurable undervoltage auto-restart with adjustable delay times.
• Digital Inputs/Outputs (I/O):
  • 20 I/O ports (16 digital inputs, 4 relay outputs) with opto-isolated inputs for wet contacts.
  • Programmable for interlocking or external system integration.

Metering & Monitoring

• Real-Time Measurements:
  • Current, voltage, power, energy, frequency, and power factor.
• Oscillography:
  • Analog waveform capture at 32 samples/cycle for fault analysis.
• Event Recorder:
  • Stores up to 256 time-tagged events with 1 ms resolution for post-incident diagnostics.
• Device Health Diagnostics:
  • Self-monitoring of internal components (e.g., relay wear, communication status).

Communication Protocols

• Networking:
  • RS485 (Modbus RTU), Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP, NTP), Profibus (internally powered), and DeviceNet (ODVA-compliant).
• Programming Ports:
  • USB and RS485 for local configuration.
• Remote Display Options:
  • Color HMI with graphical display, motor status LEDs, and USB programming port.
