AMPGARD RVSS
Reduced Voltage Soft-Starter
User Manual
When an MPR is furnished, its inputs are included in the wiring for
voltage feedback from the starter potential transformer and current
feedback from the output CTs. MPR power is provided from the
starter Control Power Transformer control bus.
The Motor Protective Relay output signals to the RVSS are shown
on the schematic diagram, with instructions on how to configure
the MPR and how its signals are to be used in the RVSS CR relay
field-wire ladder logic rung. See how an MPR is applied in the RVSS
6.6 Auxiliary interlocks
Auxiliary interlocks from the control circuit are provided for customer
use, wired to the Customer Terminal Board. These signals include
•
Main Contactor status (MAX)
•
RVSS Fault relay status (TRPX)
•
MPR status (one programmable, one critical fault status, Form
C)
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO CONFLICT
BETWEEN ALARM OR TRIP SETTINGS CONFIGURED IN THE MPR AND
ALARM OR TRIP SETTINGS CONFIGURED IN THE RVSS.
WHEN BOTH THE MPR AND RVSS PROTECTIONS ARE SET FOR SIMILAR
BEHAVIOR, THEY CAN INTRODUCE CONFLICTS WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING
THE RVSS SYSTEM.
6.7 System control elements
6.7.1 Base control module
The C445 Base Control Module (BCM) interfaces the I/O Board,
Monitoring User Interface (MUI), and external communications. It
also serves as the logic processor for Power Factor Correction (PFC)
capacitor control (when furnished).
The Base Control Module is located in the RVSS low voltage
compartment and powered by the RVSS electronics 24 VDC power
supply. It has indicating LEDs on its front for status display. See
Figure 34.

Base control module (BCM).
The Base Control Module (BCM) provides the following features for
the AMPGARD RVSS:
•
Integrated Micro USB port for
inControl PC application
•
Real-time clock and memory backup module option slot. Provides battery backed-up
fault time stamping and non-volatile for configurable parameters
•
Provides power and communications to the Monitoring User Interface (MUI) through
the cable connection
•
Provides communications to the I/O Board and Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
•
DIP Switches: Used for node addressing and configuration selections.
•
Status LEDs:
¤
Status - indicates the fault and warning status of the Base Control Module
¤
CH1 - indicates status of the Monitoring User Interface connected to the Channel
1 port on the BCM
¤
CH2 - indicates status of the I/O Board connected to the Channel 2 port on the
BCM
¤
USB - indicates communications traffic on the USB port
•
Communication Card: Ethernet for Modbus/TCP and
EtherNet/IP communications.
6.7.2 BCM LED status indications
summarizes the BCM states indicated by the Status
LEDs, and highlights the Ethernet card module status and network
status indicators.
The Ethernet Card includes indicators for the module status (
MS
)
and Network Status (
NS
). The Module Status Indicator states are
described in
and
below.
