Description of Features

1503-UM054C-EN-P – June 2013

Delayed Restart (General)

The contactors are assigned rated duties, which define how

frequently the contactor can be switched on and off. A timer will be

used to prevent the contactor from being re-closed until the amount

of time has passed, which represents the rated duty of the contactor.

This delay is six (6) seconds for the electrically held contactors, and
twelve

(12) seconds for the mechanically latched contactors.

This feature may also be used for motor protection, by preventing a

motor from being started too frequently. In this case, it shall be

possible to increase the restart delay as follow:

Minimum (6/12 sec.) to 3600 sec. (60 minutes)

1 sec. resolution

The Delayed Restart data will be available, for each of the five (5) IB

units, on DeviceNet in the following manner:

‘IB1 Delay Restart Time = ‘ ‘6 Sec’ to ‘3600 Sec’

(Note: Minimum time limited to 12 Sec for mechanically

latched contactor)

‘IB2 Delay Restart Time = ‘ ‘6 Sec’ to ‘3600 Sec’

(Note: Minimum time limited to 12 Sec for mechanically

latched contactor)

‘IB3 Delay Restart Time = ‘ ‘6 Sec’ to ‘3600 Sec’

(Note: Minimum time limited to 12 Sec for mechanically

latched contactor)

‘IB4 Delay Restart Time = ‘ ‘6 Sec’ to ‘3600 Sec’

(Note: Minimum time limited to 12 Sec for mechanically

latched contactor)

‘IB5 Delay Restart Time = ‘ ‘6 Sec’ to ‘3600 Sec’

(Note: Minimum time limited to 12 Sec for mechanically

latched contactor)

This time value is used by the IE unit to delay the time between

issuing a close command to the IB unit, issuing an open command to

the IB unit and then issuing another close command.

While the IntelliVAC Plus is counting down this delayed restart

time, this parameter will be made available, for each of the five (5)

IB units, on DeviceNet in the following manner:

‘IB1 Delay Restart Wait Time = ‘ ‘x Sec’

(Note: This value, as it is being viewed, will be constantly

updated as the wait time decreases.)

‘IB2 Delay Restart Wait Time = ‘ ‘x Sec’

(Note: This value, as it is being viewed, will be constantly

updated as the wait time decreases.)
