2 DESCRIPTION OF THE STARTER CONTROL UNIT

2.1 Location

The SCUs are accommodated in the vertical cable-entry compartment of the Capitole cubicle. In this way they
are fully separated from the primary motor starter circuits. Up to 16 Starter Control Units can be mounted, one
on top of the other, in a common withdrawable cassette. The pitch is identical to that of the adjacent switchgear
compartment so that each SCU is in line with its own motor starter tray.

2.2 Function

The SCU fully autonomously, monitors and protects the allocated motor. In addition, it controls the motor starter
in accordance with the DCS commands and sends all actual motor data to the higher control system (for
example PLC). For a detailed description of SCU functions see chapter 5 on page 15.

2.3 History

In 2003 the FCU of the Clink II system is enhanced with new functions: the automatic restart function and the
earth leakage function. For more details see the Clink II FCU Manual version 4.0 and higher. As a consequence

3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Safety aspects Capitole 40

For each plant, a central housing is installed for the central components. The housing for the Starter and
Feeder Control Units is located in the various vertical cable-entry compartments of the Capitole 40 switchboard.
For commissioning and maintenance of Clink II it is not necessary to work in the immediate vicinity of high
voltage carrying parts. Therefore no special high voltage safety measures are required.

Warning
Always consult the Capitole 40 user manual when working in the vicinity of parts that may carry high voltages
(bus bar systems, cables).

3.2 Safety instructions Clink II

Warning
Only personnel familiar with DeviceNet™ devices and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up, configuration and subsequent maintenance of Clink II
components. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Warning
One of the strong features of Clink II is the possibility to replace units while keeping the Clink II system
operational. The replacement of Clink II parts should always be reported and executed according to
local safety procedures.

4 COMMISSIONING

4.1 Placing an SCU

All SCU’s are placed in the cassette at the factory.

Note
All nodes are already commissioned in the factory according to project specifications.
In case you want to add more than one SCU or other devices to an existing network, add one device at a time
before commissioning nodes (see the System Overview manual). It’s not possible to commission more than
one node at a time.

4.2 Checking the jumper setting

When a unit (SCU) is placed in the cassette, the software checks the settings in the EEPROM. The settings
must be right and fit the jumper setting (SCU or FCU) of the print. When the settings are right, the SCU program
is started. The status of the Module LED is green, indicating normal operation (see also “Status Module LED”
on page 60).

When the settings are wrong or do not fit the current jumper setting the print will be in stand-by mode and the
Module LED flashes green. The SCU needs commissioning because of missing, incomplete or incorrect
configuration. Commissioning consists of providing the SCU with a node number and adjust the correct baud
rate for communicating on DeviceNet. See Use of Hyper Terminal‚ page 67.

4.3 Setting the power supply configuration

The network power supply configuration of each SCU must have been set in order to enable the SCU to test
the power supply and generate an error message ‘no power’ (Module LED ‘off’).

5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION SCU

5.1 Introduction

This chapter describes all functions of the SCU. The functions are grouped into:
• measurement: see 5.2 on page 15
• digital and inputs: see 5.3 on page 25
• digital and analog outputs: see 5.4 on page 26
• motor control: see 5.5 on page 29
• motor protection: see 5.8 on page 44
• monitoring of diagnostic and maintenance data: see 5.9 on page 54

5.2 Measurement

The Starter Control Unit measures a number of quantities which can be read-out by both LCU-5 and the
process controller. These quantities are used internally as input signals for the various protective devices. In
the following paragraphs the measuring method for each quantity is explained and it is indicated where the
measured quantities can be read-out. The accuracy of the measured values is stated and, if necessary, the
configuration method for a measurement is given.

5.2.1 Mains voltage

The voltage measurement mode (phase/phase or phase/neutral) is set via LCU-5. Select: SCU Manager - Unit

Mains voltage 0 - 862 V Actual

Calculation
The mains voltage Lx is measured by the Measurement Interface Unit. The Starter Control Unit calculates the
effective value of the phase and the connected voltage using the following formula:

T
U = --1- ∫ u2 dt
T0

functional description scu version 5.0 15

CLINK II SCU MANAGER

U = RMS value of the mains voltage

u = Instantaneous value of the mains voltage

In order to calculate this value, 16 samples are taken so that up to and including the 8th harmonic is taken into
consideration in the calculation.

Note
• The accuracy of the measured value is ± 2%.
• The displayed value of the mains voltage is the voltage measured between phases (phase-phase) except
in case of a single phase motor where the voltage between line and neutral is displayed.

5.2.2 Motor current

The motor current is measured by means of transformers which are placed in the Measurement Interface Unit.
For application of the different types of Measurement Interface Units see Mains configurations SCU‚ page 83.

The nominal current and auxiliary current transformer ratio are set via LCU-5.
Select: SCU Manager - Unit Properties - tab Meas, see table 7.

Note
The auxiliary current transformer ratio is the ratio between the primary and secondary current of the auxiliary
current transformer. If no current transformer is applied, the ratio must be set to 1.

The measured values are representative for the phase currents and serve as input for the following protection
functions:
• Thermal protection, stall: 5.8.4 on page 48
• Thermal protection, motor overload: 5.8.5 on page 49

frequency using a so-called Phase Locked Loop circuit, abbreviated to PLL

I = RMS value of the current

i = Instantaneous value of the current

Note
The accuracy of the measured value is ± 2.5% of In

5.2.3 Earth leakage current

The purpose of this measurement is to detect an earth leakage current caused by a.o.:
• Disruptive discharge between motor winding and earth
• Deteriorated insulation between motor winding and earth
• Short-circuit between one of the phases and earth.

The earth leakage current is measured with a so-called 'core balance' current transformer. The three phases
conductors are led through the hole of the transformer so that the transformer measures the vectorial sum of
the 3 phase currents. Under normal operating conditions the vectorial sum is 0. If, due to a fault, the sum current
is no longer 0, this will be detected in the secondary winding.

Earth leakage current serves as input signal for the earth leakage protective function and can be read-out via
LCU-5. Select: SCU Manager - Module Measurement.

5.2.4 Motor temperature rise

Motor temperature-rise is calculated in the Starter Control Unit by means of a thermal model of the motor and
is used to protect the motor under all operating conditions against overload.

The model - see figure 3 on page 18 - determines the average temperature-rise of the copper winding (Tcu)
and the stator iron packet ((Tfe) from the copper and iron loss.
Tcu serves as input for the stall and motor overload protection and can be read-out via LCU-5. Select: SCU

Rfeamb_off thermal resistance between iron and environment when the motor is off.

Tcu copper temperature-rise

Tfe iron temperature-rise

Principle of operation
Pcu represents the copper loss which varies proportionally to the square of the motor current.
Pfe represents the iron loss which is constant when the mains voltage and the mains frequency are constant.
Due to the heat flows caused by these loss sources, the thermal capacities are charged, resulting in
temperature differences over the thermal resistances.

Via Rcufe the copper yields heat to the iron (Pcufe) and the iron yields heat to the environment (Pfeamb) via
Rfeamb_on when the motor is running and via Rfeamb_off when the motor is off. These heat resistances together
with Cfe and CCU determine the heating-up respectively cooling-down time constant of the motor.

If the motor is running with a constant load, a thermal equilibrium will be reached after some time. This means
that the thermal capacities are charged and that the copper and iron temperature-rise will remain constant.

The model is dimensioned in such a way that at nominal motor current and thermal equilibrium, the copper
temperature-rise will be equal to the value entered as maximum temperature-rise via LCU-5. Select: SCU
Manager - Module Protection - Settings - tab Motor.

Cooling ratio
In order to simulate the motor temperature as accurately as possible, one switches, dependent on the operating
status of the motor, between Rfeamb_off (decisive for cooling time constant) and Rfeamb_on (decisive for
warming-up time constant). The ratio between the two time constants is called cooling ratio and is set via LCU-
5. Select: SCU Manager - Module Protection - Settings - tab Motor.
For motors with built-in ventilation the cooling ratio is standard set at 10. In case of external cooling the cooling
ratio value has to be determined for each separate case.

Initial temperature thermal model

Each time when the supply voltage of the system is switched on, the thermal model is set, for safety reasons,
at the copper and iron temperature-rise (maximum temperature-rise) of a warmed-up motor and continues to
calculate on that basis. The value maximum temperature-rise can be set via LCU-5. Select: SCU Manager -
Module Protection - Settings - tab Motor. Because of this, the motor can also be protected against short or long
mains interruptions. After switching on the motor and irrespective of the load, the calculated temperature-rise
and the real temperature-rise of the motor will correspond within the allowed deviation.

Explanation of the motor data settings

• Motor weight
The motor weight is taken from the name-plate of the motor. If the weight is not available, 7.5 kg/kW is to be
used. In case of motors < 1 kW the minimum weight to be used is 2 kg.

• Stall Current 1 and 2 (2 only applicable for dual speed)

Stall current indicates the ratio between the current at blocked rotor (stall current) and the nominal motor
current. If not available, the value to be entered is 5 I/In.

• Stall Time 1 and 2 / Stall Time Condition 2 (only applicable for dual speed)
The stall time is the maximum switching-on time of the motor at blocked rotor. Hereby it is important to know
whether the indicated stall time applies to a cold or hot motor. Therefore, when entering the stall time, also the
condition (hot/cold) has to be stated.
If the stall time is not known, the standard entry is 4.5 s for condition hot. The lower threshold of the I2t value
is limited to 103. This means that as the stall current factor decreases, the stall time to be entered will increase.

The stall time versus stall current factor should meet the condition of following formula:

103
StallTime ≥ ----------------------------------------------------2-
StallCurrentFactor

When this condition is not met an error message is generated. See table 12 for ranges of the stall current factor.

• Overload Current
Overload Current is the threshold value for the motor current. When this value is continuously exceeded, the
motor will be switched-off. The switch-off time depends on the motor current and can be found in table 37 on
page 49. The Overload Current is given relatively to the nominal motor current. If not available, enter 1.05 In.

• Trip Time at 1.5 In

This is the trip time at 1.5 In in hot operation. The time to be entered depends on the motor temperature class,
see table 37 on page 49.
In case the temperature class is not known, the standard value entered is 60 s.

• Maximum Temperature Rise

Maximum temperature rise is the nominal temperature-rise for a given motor insulation class.
See table 13.

CLINK II SCU MANAGER

Table 13: Insulation category and nominal temperature rise

Insulation category Nominal Temperature Rise

B 80 K

F 100 K
H 125 K

If not available, category B (80 K) is used.

• Warning Temperature Rise
This is the temperature rise at which a warning is generated. The value to be entered depends on the
insulation class of the motor. Rule of thumb: warning temperature rise = max. temperature rise + 5.
• Temperature Rise Interlock Level
Temperature Rise Interlock Level is the temperature rise at which the motor can be safely switched-on
again after a trip due to motor overload or stall. This value is set via LCU-5. Select: SCU Manager - Module
Protection - Settings - tab Motor. When no value is set, the default value is set to 0.7 * Maximum Tempera-
ture Rise.
• Cooling Ratio
The Cooling Ratio is the ratio between Rfeamb-off and Rfeamb-on. For motors with a built-in ventilator the
standard setting value is 10. If cooling is realised otherwise, the value is determined for each case sepa-
rately.
• Nominal Voltage
The Nominal Voltage is taken from the name plate of the motor.
• Auxiliary CT ratio
The auxiliary CT ratio is the ratio between the primary and secondary currents. If no current transformer is
used, use setpoint = 1.
• Nominal Power 1 and 2
The Nominal Power is taken from the name plate of the motor.
• Nominal Current 1 and 2
The Nominal Current is taken from the name plate of the motor.
• Nominal Cos Phi 1 and 2
The Nominal Cos Phi is taken from the name plate of the motor.

5.2.5 Active power

Active Power is calculated in the Starter Control Unit from the voltage and current of phase L1 in case of a 3
phase system or from the connected phase in case of a 1 phase system. The calculated value serves as input
signal for process underload and process overload respectively.

Active Power can be read-out via LCU-5. Select: SCU Manager - Module Measurement. See table 14.

• Star-delta
• Forward-reverse
• Dual-speed

Apart from these starter logic procedures, the automatic restart function ensures that the motors are restarted

Figure 6: Control levels within a typical configuration

Within the Clink-system three control levels and ways of control are distinguished, see figure 6:
1 Process control level: controlled via DeviceNet
2 Switchgear level: controlled via Digital inputs
3 Field level: controlled via hard wired circuits

DeviceNet
At the highest level, motor control takes place by means of a Distributed Control System (DCS), a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition system (SCADA). In this
manual all controlling systems are indicated as process controller. From a process controller it is possible to
switch motors on and off.

Via LCU-5 it is possible to configure the starter logic operation (see 5.6 on page 32) and the automatic restart
function (see 5.7 on page 40). In order to configure the automatic restart function select: SCU Manager - Motor
Control - Settings - tab Restart.

Digital inputs
At the second level, motor control takes place by means of:
• Operation buttons on the motor starter tray. With these buttons start1, start2 and stop commands can be
given which are processed by the Starter Control Unit.
• Digital inputs, for the use of digital inputs see 5.3.1 on page 25.

functional description scu version 5.0 30

CLINK II SCU MANAGER

Hard-wired circuits
At the lowest level, motor control takes place with the Remote Control Unit. With this unit start and stop
commands can be given. However, these commands don't pass through the Clink system but interfere directly
in the auxiliary circuit.

Levels and control

• Motor stop is possible via all control levels
• Motor start 1 and motor start 2 is not possible via the hard wired control level
• Motor start via the hard wired control level is only possible with a direct-on-line starter.

Manual control at the switchgear level

The manual control generates commands in the Starter Control Unit as soon as the push-button on the motor
starter tray is pressed.

Warning
Push buttons can not be used for interlocking purposes!

Auxiliary relays
To energize a contactor in the main circuit, the auxiliary relays are (de)energized by a 200 ms pulse. In the
normal course of events, the auxiliary relay K10 is energized and K11 and K12 are not energized (see 9.1 on
page 75 for diagrams). This means that the motor stops running if the Starter Control Unit is no longer
functioning.

5.5.2 Switching conditions

This paragraph describes how a motor can be switched on and off. First an overview is given of the switching
conditions for each starter logic procedure. Then it is shown which external factors can switch a motor on or off.

Switching conditions direct-on-line, star delta, forward reverse, dual speed

• Start1 and start2 commands are only possible when the isolator is closed.
• Start1 and start2 commands are only possible if there is no interlocking because of a protection proce-
dure.
• A stop command is dominant over a start1 or start2 command, in other words a start action is interrupted
by a stop action.

Additional switching conditions forward-reverse

• If during operation a stop command is given, a start command for the other sense of rotation will be
delayed until the set interlock time has passed.
• Starting left is not possible during motor starting right.
• Starting right is not possible during motor starting left.

The set points for the running down time (Interlock 1 Time and Interlock 2 Time, see table 23) can be set via
LCU-5. Select: SCU Manager - Module Control Settings - tab Transfer..

• Local control: via LCU-5. Select SCU Manager - Module Interlock
• Process control: via DeviceNet. See table 24.

The External Interlock (Digital Input) (5.3.1 on page 25) can be used to lock the Manual control or Process and

5.6 Starter logic

This paragraph describes the starter logic by means of a number of time diagrams. For each starter type it is
described, for the various transition states, how switching from one operating state to the other takes place.

5.6.1 Tray in Test state

In normal operational state a contactor can only be switched when the isolator is closed. Purpose of the Tray
in Test state is make the test possible of the auxiliary circuit and all messages without starting a motor. To
activate the ‘Tray in test’ mode the push button / switch in the motor tray has to be closed. This can only be
done when the door of the motor starter tray is open and thus the isolator is in the off [Link] contact of
the ‘Tray in test’ push button / switch simulates a closed contact of the isolator and thus the contactor can be
controlled either manually or by Clink.

5.6.2 Drive type

The drive type can be set via LCU-5, see table 25. Select: SCU Manager - Unit Properties - tab Nominal.

5.6.3 Starting

An engine is starting when the motor reaches a certain status (ON, STAR, DELTA, LEFT, RIGHT, LOW, HIGH)
and one of the following conditions has not yet been met:
• The motor current has dropped below the change-over current level
• The change-over time has elapsed

In figure 7 the motor reaches a certain status at the moment t0. The motor current increases and will decrease
after some time to, for instance, the nominal motor current. As soon as the motor current drops below the
change-over current level, starting has finished.

In figure 8, contrary to figure 7, the end of the starting is determined by the change-over time.

5.7 Automatic restart

The automatic restart function detects failures in the mains voltage and ensures, depending on the duration of
the failure, a direct or delayed restart so that the continuity of the process is guaranteed.

5.7.1 Mains failure detection

The Starter Control Unit continuously monitors the condition of the mains. As soon as the mains voltage drops
below 65% of the nominal voltage there is a mains failure (see figure 16). As soon as the mains voltage returns
to a value > 90% of the nominal voltage, the mains voltage is considered healthy.

5.7.2 Contactor failure detection

The starter logic records exactly in which state the contactors should be. Nevertheless the state of the
contactors may change as a result of:

• A start1, start2 or stop command generated by the Remote Control Unit.

• A mains failure.

As soon as the starter logic sees a change of state as a result of one of the above-mentioned points, a restart
request is made to the automatic restart procedure. To determine whether the contactor de-energized because
of a mains failure, the time is measured between:

• The start of the mains failure (mains voltage failure message).

• The moment the contactor de-energizes (restart request).

If this time is shorter than 200 ms it may be concluded that the contactor de-energized because of a mains
failure and the automatic restart procedure is started.

5.7.3 Restart time out

By means of the setpoint Immediate Restart Time-out and Delayed Restart Time-out (see table 30 on page
44), three time zones can be defined. See also figure 17:

functional description scu version 5.0 41

CLINK II SCU MANAGER

• Immediate restart
• Delayed restart
• No restart.

immediate restart delayed restart no restart

ImmediateRestartTimeout
DelayedRestartTimeout

Figure 17: Automatic restart phases

Under normal conditions one uses immediate, delayed and no restart. However it is possible to disable one or
more times zones:

• If the immediate restart timeout is 0, time zone 1 doesn't exist and there will be no immediate restart.
• If the delayed restart timeout is 0, time zone 2 doesn't exist and there will be no delayed restart.
• If the delayed restart timeout is infinite, time zone 3 doesn't exist and there will always be a restart.

5.7.4 Immediate restart

Immediate restart will take place, if the mains voltage returns before the Immediate Restart Time-out has
elapsed (see figure 18). In that case the speed of the motor has only decreased so little that the electric
magnetic force of the machine and the mains voltage are more or less in phase, so that the start current surge
will be limited.

Note
The maximum time for an immediate restart is 0,4 second. This is because the SCU can operate 0,4 second
on the energy stored in it’s elco’s. After the 0,4 seconds the SCU will shutdown and restart.

Immediate restart means that the de-energized contactors are immediately energized. This means that a star-
delta starter will not start through STAR (Running 1) and that a dual speed starter that was in HIGH (Running
2) will not start through LOW (Running 1).

Note
Because the relays K10, K11 and K12 are energized by an external power supply this power must be available
if the mains voltage becomes healthy.

5.7.5 Delayed restart

If the mains voltage returns after the minimum restart timeout has elapsed, the motor speed will have
decreased so much that the electric magnetic force of the motor and the mains voltage are out of phase. Start
of motors at that moment would result in an impermissible start current surge. For that reason the motor start
is delayed. See figure 19.

The delay time is set using the setpoint Restart Delay Time, see table 30 on page 44. The counting of delay
time is started as soon as the mains voltage exceeds 90% of the nominal voltage. The counting is temporarily
interrupted as soon as the mains voltage drops to a level below 90% of the nominal voltage.

At delayed restart the motors are started following the normal starting procedures (see starter logic, 5.6 on
page 32).

functional description scu version 5.0 43

CLINK II SCU MANAGER

5.7.6 No restart

As soon as the Delayed Restart Time-out has expired, the motor will no longer be started by the automatic
restart procedure because the process is too much disturbed. In that case the motor can only be restarted by
a normal switching command.

If the Restart Time-out is infinite, the motor will always be restarted.

5.7.7 Cancel automatic restart

The automatic restart procedure is cancelled when a start1, start2 or stop command is given.

5.7.8 Automatic restart during starting

In the above description it is assumed that the mains failure takes place at a moment when the motor is in the
state RUNNING. However if there is a mains failure during Motor Starting (1 or 2), there will always be delayed
restart.

5.7.9 Automatic restart during powerdown

When the SCU loses power during a mains voltage failure the duration of that mains voltage failure is measured
by means of a hardware timer. This hardware timer is powered by it’s own powersource that has stored energy
for at least 5 minutes.
When the power returns the value of the timer contains the total mains voltage failure time which is read and
is used in the restart logic.

5.8 Protection

This paragraph describes the protection functions of the SCU. A short description of each protection is given,
followed by the threshold values of the quantity to be observed, which are set via LCU-5 by selecting: SCU
Manager - Module Protection. See 5.2 on page 15 for information regarding the measurement quantities.

• Motor stall: see 5.8.4 on page 48
• Motor overload: see 5.8.5 on page 49
• Phase unbalance: see 5.8.6 on page 50
• Earth leakage: see 5.8.7 on page 51

• Under voltage protection: see 5.8.12 on page 53

• Under current protection: see 5.8.13 on page 54

5.8.1 Characteristics of protection functions

• Each protection function has an input for a variable to be observed and inputs for setpoints which are set
via LCU-5 by selecting: SCU Manager - Module Protection - Settings.
• After having been configured, each protection function is performed autonomously by the Starter Control
Unit.
• Each protection function has the facility to generate a trip signal to switch off the motor in the event that
one of the setpoints is exceeded.
• Each protection function (except motor stall) has the facility to generate a warning signal in the event that
one of the setpoints is exceeded.
• Setpoints are used to define which trip and warning signals can be acknowledged via manual control or
process control.

The status of a protection function can be read-out via LCU-5, by the process controller and on the motor starter
tray.

Protection states:
• Fault not present.
• Protection activated, message not yet confirmed by an acknowledge/reset command.
• Message acknowledged but fault is still present.

5.8.2 Read-out of trip and warning signals

Via LCU-5 and the process controller the following statuses can be read-out (see also table 31):
• Trip Status indicates which protection has been activated.
• Trip Acknowledge Status indicates which protection has been activated and also has been confirmed by
means of an acknowledge command.
• Warning Status indicates which protection gives a warning signal.
• Warning Acknowledge Status indicates which protection gives a warning signal and also has been con-
firmed by means of an acknowledge command.

The motor is switched off if it is overloaded during a certain time. The length of this time depends on the size
of the overload. The corresponding current/time characteristic complies with IEC 947-4-1 concerning motor
starters.
IEC 947-4-1 distinguishes 4 temperature classes. In table 37, the trip time is stated as a function of the motor
current for each temperature class.

The current/time characteristic is defined on the basis of setpoints in LCU-5:

• For a relevant explanation of parameters see 5.2.4 on page 18.
• For motor data settings see table 12 on page 21.

If the Trip Current is exceeded, the motor will be switched off after the Trip Time.
If Warning Temperature-Rise is exceeded during 1 second there will only be a warning.

5.8.6 Phase unbalance

This protection calculates the phase unbalance from the 3 phase currents and switches the motor off when the
trip level is exceeded. At the indicated default setpoint, the protection complies with IEC 947-4-1 (clause
[Link].2).

Calculation
The phase unbalance is calculated as follows:
• Of each phase the deviation compared with the average value of the 3 phase currents (Iaverage) is deter-
mined, whereby the absolute value of the biggest deviation is considered equal to dImax.
• Now the phase unbalance is calculated dependent on the average value of the 3 phase currents.
• If Iaverage is higher than Inominal then: phase unbalance = (dImax / Iaverage).
• If Iaverage is lower than Inominal then: phase unbalance = (dImax / Inominal).
In formula:

I x – I av
• When Iav >= In then: PhaseUnbalance = ---------------------- × 100%

5.8.10 External protection

The Starter Control Unit has 8 digital inputs. The five free inputs (DI_3 to DI_7) can be used for the connection
of an external protection unit to switch the motor off when the unit responds or to generate only a warning.

Configuration digital inputs

For information regarding the configuration of Digital Input Functions see 5.3.1 on page 25.

The output of the protection unit must have a potential-free contact with the following specifications:
• Insulation: 2.5 kV/50Hz/1 min. (between contact and other parts of the unit)
• switching power: must be suitable for switching 10 mA at 24 Vdc.

Connections
The potential-free contact of a protection unit is connected between the +24V and the respective digital input
of the Starter Control Unit.
The input signal will only be effective when the input concerned has been configured as an External Protection
function and when the respective protection procedure has been activated.

Activation of the protective device

Activation of the protective device is possible via LCU-5.
When the protection unit responds, the motor will be switched off after 0.1 second if the trip function is enabled.
When the warning function is enabled there will only be a warning after 0.1 second.

5.9.7 Time to trip

Time To Trip is calculated only when there is a motor overload. Time To Trip can be read-out via LCU-5. See
table 51. Select: SCU Manager - Module Protection.

Determining whether there is an overload, is done by calculating the theoretical end temperature Tcu of the
copper winding. When Tcu < Temperature Rise Interlock Level (see table 52), the Time To Trip is infinite. When
Tcu exceeds the Temperature Rise Interlock Level the Time To Trip is calculated as the sum of:
1 The time necessary according to the thermal model to reach Motor TemperatureCu = Motor Temperature-
Trip Level and
2 the time necessary according to the MotorOverload model to reach Trip status according to the It-diagram.

7 MAINTENANCE SCU

The Starter Control Unit consists of a multi-layer withdrawable main board and fixed mounted interface board.
The interface board contains an EEPROM and the DeviceNet™ connectors. The EEPROM contains all the
SCU-specific motor data. A jumper setting on the main board determines whether the print functions as a
Starter or Feeder Control Unit. The main board and the interface board can be replaced while the system
remains operative.
The Starter Control Unit is maintenanced on print level. A faulty SCU or interface board is replaced by a new
one.

• To replace a main board see 7.1 on page 66

• To replace an interface board see 7.2 on page 66

Warning
While replacing an interface board of an SCU the associated feeder can not be controlled via
DeviceNet. Therefore the replacement should always be reported according to local safety
procedures.

Warning
Clink II components contain Electrostatic Discharge sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing an assembly. Component
damage (including degradation or malfunctioning of the performance) may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed.

7.1 Replacement of the main board

1 Before replacement of a main board the actual data of the main board have to be saved in the EEPROM
of the interface board.
• In order to store the actual data in EEPROM reset the main board either
via the Reset Common Service of the Identity Object. The type of reset to be used is 0, see the appendix
DeviceNet Interface of the SCU or
with the Hyper terminal, see 7.3 on page 67.
2 Replace the main board:
• Take the main board out of the cassette.
• Check the correct jumper setting of the new main board.
• Place the new main board in the cassette.
3 Verify whether the main board is operational (status Module LED should light solid green, see also 6.2 on
page 58).

7.2 Replacement of the interface board

1 Before replacement of an interface board the actual data of the main board have to be saved in the EEP-
ROM of the interface board and then the data must be saved to file.
• In order to store the actual data in EEPROM reset the main board either
via the Reset Common Service of the Identity Object. The type of reset to be used is 0, see the appendix

• Replace the interface board.

• Mount the side plates of the cassette.
• Place the main board back in the cassette.
3 Commission the node of the new interface board via RSNetWorx™, see Use of Hyper Terminal in 7.3 on
page 67 (the default node of a new interface board is 63).
4 Download the saved settings from file to device. Select LCU-5 System Manager - Unit Download.
5 Verify whether the main board is operational (Module LED should light solid green, see also 6.2 on page
58).

7.3 Use of Hyper Terminal

The program Hyper Terminal can be used as a practical tool for commissioning and maintenance of the Clink
II units. In the embedded software of the SCU a monitor program is included. The Hyper Terminal can be used
to communicate with this monitor program.

Warning
The Hyper Terminal may only be used by authorized personnel. Via Hyper Terminal direct access to
the embedded software is possible. Changes made to the software may result is malfunctioning of
the Clink II system at the risk of e.g. stopping or starting motors or in changing of the protection
parameters.

To connect the PC with Hyper Terminal to the Clink II unit a so called Reset box (Holec part number 1307 223)
is necessary.

To communicate via Hyper Terminal the settings of the serial port of the PC are:
bits per second: :9600
databits: 8
parity: none
stopbits: 1
datatransport: none
Under Properties the emulation type should be auto detection.

With the command < h > an overview of the available commands can be seen.
To assign a new node number to a Starter Control Unit, type < MAC xx >, where xx is the node number.

To adjust the baud rate on DeviceNet level to 500 kBaud type < MAC 500 >.

To give a reset command type 0, use the command RST. All data present in the RAM memory on the main
board is written in the EEPROM on the interface board.

8.2 SCU print

The Starter Control Unit is a microprocessor controlled system provided with digital and analog I/O functions
and a serial bus for communication with DeviceNet.

The hardware is distributed over two prints:

• Main board
• Interface board

In order to comply with the EMC requirements (IEC 1000-4), the main board is designed as a 4 layer multi-layer
(Printed Circuit Boards). All inputs and outputs are adequately high-frequency decoupled against interference
signals. A combination of SMD components and conventional components is used for the main board.
The interface board includes varistors for the DeviceNet buses.
