Functional Design Specifications
Standard Features	Installation	Power Wiring	Standard squirrel-cage induction motor or a Wye-Delta, six-lead motor.
		Control Wiring	2- and 3-wire control for a wide variety of applications.
	Setup	Keypad	Front keypad and backlit LCD display.
		Software	Parameter values can be downloaded to the SMC-Flex Controller with DriveTools programming software and the Cat. No. 20-COMM… DPI communication module.
	Communications		One DPI provided for connection to optional human interface and communication modules.
	Starting and Stopping Modes		Soft Start Current Limit Start Dual Ramp Full Voltage Linear Speed Acceleration Preset Slow Speed Soft Stop
	Protection and Diagnostics		Power loss, line fault, voltage unbalance, excessive starts/hour, phase reversal, undervoltage, overvoltage, controller temp, stall, jam, open gate, overload, underload, communication fault.
	Metering		Amps, volts, kW, kWH, mW, mWH, elapsed time, power factor, motor thermal capacity usage.
	Alarm Contact		Overload, underload, undervoltage, overvoltage, unbalance, jam, stall, and ground fault
	Status Indication		Stopped, starting, stopping, at speed, alarm, and fault.
	Auxiliary Contacts		Four fully programmable contacts as normal/up-to-speed/fault/alarm/network (N.O./N.C.), or external bypass (N.O. only).
Optional Features	Pump Control		Helps reduce fluid surges in centrifugal pumping systems during starting and stopping period. Starting time is adjustable from 0…30 s. Stopping time is adjustable from 0…120 s.
	Braking Control	SMB Smart Motor Braking	Provides motor braking without additional equipment for applications that require the motor to stop quickly. Braking current is adjustable from 0…400% of the motor’s full-load current rating.
		Accu-Stop	Provides controlled position stopping. During stopping, braking torque is applied to the motor until it reaches preset slow speed (7% or 15% of rated speed) and holds the motor at this speed until a stop command is given. Braking torque is then applied until the motor reaches zero speed. Braking current is programmable from 0…450% of full-load current.
		Slow Speed with Braking	Used on applications that require slow speed (in the forward direction) for positioning or alignment and also require braking control to stop.
