Rockwell Automation 1503FC IntelliVAC Contactor Control Module - Series E - Manual (Page 7)

Product Description 1-3
1503-UM053B-EN-P – June 2013
IntelliVAC Features (cont.)
 Anti-kiss and anti-pumping protection ensure that the vacuum
contactor close – open sequence occurs as expected, avoiding rapid
re-closure due to faulty control devices
 Delayed restart protects the vacuum contactor by ensuring that the
rated duty cycle is not exceeded
 Temporary jog function (electrically held contactors only) allows
the motor to be positioned for process set-up
IntelliVAC Versions
Series A There are two versions of IntelliVAC control. The
first type is used to control vacuum contactors that are
electrically held, with a single electrical coil that is
economized electronically. The second is used to
control mechanically latched vacuum contactors.
Series B There is a single version of IntelliVAC, to control
both electrically held and mechanically latched
vacuum contactors.
Series C Updated version of the Series B module.
Series D Minor functionality (firmware) enhancements
(primarily related to definition and handling of Faults
and Warnings).
Series E Revised hardware to allow connection to the
IntelliVAC Plus or IntelliVAC MC> Removal of the
mini Din connector for flashing firmware (firmware is
now flashed using the IntelliVAC Plus or IntelliVAC
MC boards). New input circuits to reduce thermal
output, and decrease sensitivity to leakage current.
Refer to Chapter 6, for catalog numbers for each version of IntelliVAC.
Note: A Series C, D or E IntelliVAC module can be used to replace
a Series A or Series B module. When replacing an older series
of IntelliVAC with a newer one, note that the Module and
Contactor Status outputs may function differently. Refer to
publication 1503-UM051C-EN-P and/or Chapter 5 of this
