Dual Ramp Start

The SMC-Flex controller provides the user with the ability to select
between two Start settings. The parameters below are available in the
Set Up programming mode. To obtain Dual Ramp control, Ramp #1 is
located in the Basic Set Up and Ramp #2 is located in the Option 2 Input
(Dual Ramp).

Parameter

Option

Set Up

The user must select the Set Up programming mode

to obtain access to the Dual Ramp parameters.

Basic Set Up/Starting Mode

Set up as stated in previous pages.

Option 1 Input (Dual Ramp)

u

This allows the user the option to choose between

two Soft Start profiles defined by:

1. Start Mode/Ramp Time/Initial Torque and

2. Start Mode 2/Ramp Time 2/Initial Torque 2.

When this feature is turned on, the ramp time/initial

torque combination is determined by a hard contact

input to terminal 15. When this input signal is low,

ramp time/initial torque 2 are selected. Once the

Option 2 Input has been set to Dual Ramp, you must

ESC back to the Parameter (File) menu. Re-enter

into the Set Up menu to show both Basic Set Up and

Dual Ramp.

Basic Set Up/Start Mode v

This selects the start mode for option #1.

Basic Set Up/Ramp Time

This programs the time period during which the

controller will ramp the output voltage up to full

voltage for the first Start setup.

0 to 30 s

Basic Set Up/Initial Torque

This parameter establishes and adjusts the initial

reduced output voltage level for the first Soft Start

setup.

0 to 90/% locked

rotor torque

Dual Ramp/Start Mode 2 v

This selects the start mode for option #2.

Dual Ramp/Ramp Time 2

This programs the time period during which the

controller will ramp the output voltage up to full

voltage for the second Start setup.

0 to 30 s

Dual Ramp/Initial Torque 2

The initial reduced output voltage level for the

second Start setup is established and adjusted with

this parameter.

0 to 90/% locked

rotor torque

u

The Dual Ramp feature is available on the standard controller.

v

Kickstart can be programmed for both start modes.
