Performance Counters 

The performance counters store statistics on the starter's operation: 

•

 

Hours run (lifetime and since counter last reset) 

•

 

Number of starts (lifetime and since counter last reset) 

•

 

Motor kWh (lifetime and since counter last reset) 

•

 

Number of times the thermal model has been reset 

The resettable counters (hours run, starts and motor kWh) can only be reset if the 

Adjustment Lock

 (parameter 15B) is set to Read 

& Write. 

 

To view the counters: 

1.

 

Open the Logs Menu. 

2.

 

Scroll to Counters and press  . 

3.

 

Use the 

  and 

  buttons to scroll through the counters. Press    to view details. 

4.

 

To reset a counter, press STORE (enter access code if required) then use the 

  button to select Reset. Press STORE to 

confirm the action. 

To close the counters and return to the main display, press the    repeatedly.

Operation 

 

CAUTION 
We recommend testing the soft starter's setup on a low voltage motor before beginning operation on a medium 
voltage motor. This allows the operator to test that the soft starter is correctly connected to the auxiliary equipment. 

 

 

Start, Stop and Reset Commands 

The soft starter can be controlled in three ways: 

•

 

using the buttons on the controller 

•

 

via remote inputs 

•

 

via a serial communication link 

The LCL/RMT button controls whether the MVE will respond to local control (via the controller) or remote control (via the remote 
inputs). 
The Local LED on the controller is on when the soft starter is in local control mode and off when the soft starter is in remote 
control mode.   
Control via the fieldbus communication network is always enabled in local control mode, and can be enabled or disabled in remote 
control mode (parameter 6R 

Comms in Remote

). Control via the serial communication network requires an optional 

communication module. 
The STOP button on the controller is always enabled.   

 

 

Using the Soft Starter to Control a Motor 

To soft start the motor, press the START button on the controller or activate the Start remote input. The motor will start using the 
start mode selected in parameter 2A. 
To stop the motor, press the STOP button on the controller or activate the Stop remote input. The motor will stop using the stop 
mode selected in parameter 2H. 
To reset a trip on the soft starter, press the RESET button on the controller or activate the Reset remote input. 
To stop the motor with a coast to stop, regardless of the setting of parameter 2H 

Stop Mode

, press the local STOP and RESET 

buttons at the same time. The soft starter will remove power from the motor and open the main contactor, and the motor will 
coast to stop.
