3 Operating the SAMMS-LV Device

3.6 Ladder Diagrams

3.6.1 Library of Standard Ladder Diagrams

The SAMMS-LV library of more than 70 ladder diagrams covers

most standard motor control applications. Table 3.3 lists the

standard control circuits and the input and output assignments

for the library. You can use the library with the following starter

types:

• across-the-line, non-reversing

• across-the-line, reversing

• two-speed, two winding

• two-speed, one-winding, constant or variable torque

• two-speed, one-winding, constant horsepower

• reduced-voltage, autotransformer (size 2 through 4)

• reduced-voltage, autotransformer (sizes 5 and 6)

• full-voltage, part winding

• wye-delta, open transition

• wye-delta, closed transition

For each starter type, the library includes seven control types:

• local two-wire

• local three-wire

• local three-wire, remote two-wire

• local two-wire, remote two-wire

• local three-wire, remote three-wire

• remote two-wire

• remote three-wire

SAMMS-LVE has seven preloaded circuits (ladder diagrams)

for use with across-the-line (FVNR) applications. SAMMS-LVX

may be used with any of the circuits.

For details on the library of standard ladder diagrams, refer to

the SAMMS Standard Circuit Manual.

3.6.2 Custom Ladder Diagrams

For special motor control applications not covered by the library

of standard ladders, you can construct custom ladder dia-

grams using the input and output devices and their associated

symbols for the SAMMS-LV device. Siemens personnel can

build these custom ladder diagrams or you can build your own.

You can purchase an optional IBM PC-compatible software

package to develop custom ladder diagrams for special control

applications. The package also includes a library of standard

symbols. The package enables you to reconfigure existing

SAMMS-LV devices to meet changing plant needs. Refer to the

Custom Software Manual for the SAMMS device, Bulletin CP

3291.
