Figure. 5.3.21 - 162. Updating the starts counter when thermal hot and cold status taken into consideration.
If a motor's thermal load is monitored, a correct number of starts can be allowed for the motor when
the device can update the available starts online and precisely monitor the motor's status. In the
example figure above, the motor is allowed four (4) starts when it is cold, and three (3) starts when it is
hot. In the figure's situation the motor has been started three times cold and the hot limit is reached
before the motor has started for the fourth time. Due to the three cold starts the counter only allows for
one more start, as the motor has already been started three times cold. While the thermal status is
"hot", the restart inhibit is activated and the start cooling time is counted according to the reduction
rate for hot starts. Now, if the motor were stopped in this situation, the starts reduction would be
counted according to "cold" motor status as the thermal load would reduce the count below the "hot"
limit.
Settings and signals
The settings of the frequent start protection are the directly stated motor data from the device's motor
module. The following table shows the other functions that also use these settings. If these settings are
edited through the frequent start protection function's setting view, they change in all other mentioned
functions at the same time.
