Events and registers
The motor start/locked rotor monitoring function (abbreviated "LCR" in event block names) generates
events from the detected motor status. The data register is available, based on the changes in the
events.

5.3.21 Frequent start protection (N>; 66)
The frequent start protection function is used for monitoring and preventing the starting of the motor to
happen too frequently. This function monitors the number of the starts the motor has used within a
given time frame to ensure that the start stress does not exceed the limits stated by the manufacturer.
The start-up situation is most stressful normal operation situation for motors that are started with Direct
On Line; the manufacturer gives safe start limits with a specified time frame for both cold and hot
motors in order to guarantee the motor's lifetime. Usually the manufacturers also specify the time
between consequent starts. When a set number of starts have been used or a new start or start
attempt is made too quickly after the previous start or start attempt, further starting attempts should be
blocked by using the N> function, thus allowing the motor to cool down sufficiently before the next start
attempt.
