Factory Installed Options

HOA Selector Keypad with Jog Function

The HOA Selector Keypad with Jog Function allows for local start/stop control with capabilities to JOG and to Forward/Reverse motor direction.

EMI Filter

The EMI Filter option is required if the Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor requires to be CE compliant. If the EMI Filter is selected, a 3–meter shielded 4–conductor cordset is provided as standard. This option is only available with sensorless vector control.

Dynamic Brake Connector

A 3-meter, 3-pin cable for connection to a dynamic brake module is provided as standard when this option is selected. See Accessories on Dynamic Brake Modules ª  for available dynamic brake modules.

Control Brake Contactor

An internal contactor is used to switch the electromechanical motor brake On/Off. The motor brake is powered from the control voltage circuit. A customer accessible 3.0 A fuse is provided to protect the brake cable. One 3-meter 3-pin cable for connection to the motor brake is provided as standard when this option is selected.

Source Brake Contactor

An internal contactor is used to switch the electromechanical motor brake on/off. The motor brake is powered from the main power circuit. A customer accessible 3.0 A fuse is provided to protect the brake cable. A 3-meter, 3-pin cable for connection to the motor, is provided as standard when this option is selected.

Output Contactor

An internal contactor will be sourced from control voltage to isolate the load side of the Bulletin 284 ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller. When control power is applied the output contactor is closed and when control power is removed the output contactor opens. There is no switching element such as a relay in the system. If control power is lost then the output contactor will open since its coil power is lost. A sequenced stop involving the output contact cannot be performed.

Shielded Motor Cable

A 3-meter shielded 4-conductor cordset is provided instead of the 3-meter unshielded 4-conductor cordset. If the EMI Filter is selected, a 3-meter shielded 4-conductor cordset is provided as standard.

Safety Monitor

The Safety Monitor Option allows for independent monitoring of the output status of the device. The function is implemented using a normally closed contact which complies with IEC 60947-5-1 for mechanically linked contacts. Two terminal blocks are provided as the inputs which maybe used with an external safety circuit. The external safety circuit monitors the status of the output contactor.

0…10V Analog Input

The Bulletin 284 Distributed Motor Controller with Sensorless Vector Control provides a 0…10V analog input. The 0…10V Analog Input, 15 A, factory-installed option provides a 0…10V external frequency command from the 0…10V or +/-10V analog input or remote potentiometer. A 5-pin micro receptacle is provided for connectivity for customer connection. A shielded 5-conductor cordset or patch cord is recommended.
