Setpoints may be changed while the motor is running; however it is not recom-
mended to change important protection parameters without first stopping the motor.
WARNING

Setpoints will remain stored indefinitely in the MM2 internal non-volatile memory even when control
power to the unit is removed. Protection parameters are based on the entered data. This data must
be complete and accurate for the given system for reliable protection and operation of the motor.
All Setpoint messages shown contain the factory default settings.

AUTOTRANS OPN TRANS, PART WINDING, WYE DELTA
CLS TRANS, AUTOTRANS CLS TRANS, DUTY/STANDBY,
SOFT STARTER
Select a type according to the configuration that the MM2 is controlling.
This will determine the control logic used for Contactor A and Contactor
B start and stop sequences. See Chapter 8: STARTER TYPES for a
detailed description of each starter type.
CHANGE OVER CURRENT Range: 1.0 to 5.0 x FLC or OFF; Step: 0.1 x FLC
1.5 xFLC
Appears only when STARTER TYPE is WYE DELTA OPN TRNS or WYE DELTA
CLS TRANS. Before CHANGE OVER CURRENT comes into effect on a wye
delta start, a minimum of 25% of the CHANGE OVER TIME must have
4 expired. After 25% of the time has expired and the average of the three
phase currents has dropped below the CHANGE OVER CURRENT value, the
transition from wye (Contactor A) to delta (Contactor B) will occur. If this
setpoint is OFF, 100% of the CHANGE OVER TIME must expire for the wye to
delta transition to occur.
CHANGE OVER TIME: RANGE: 1 to 100 seconds; Step: 1 second
30 s
Appears only if STARTER TYPE is set as WYE DELTA OPN TRNS or WYE DELTA
CLS TRANS. See CHANGE OVER CURRENT setpoint above for operation.
TRANSFER TIME: Range: 1 to 125 seconds; Step: 1 second
10 s
Appears only if STARTER TYPE is set as FV REVERSING or TWO SPEED. With
two-speed starters, this delay is required when the motor is switched
from high speed (Contactor B) to low speed (Contactor A). The delay
starts when Contactor B drops out. With a reversing starter, this delay
occurs when switching from forward (Contactor A) to reverse (Contactor
B) and from reverse to forward.
HIGH SPEED START Range: ENABLE, DISABLE
BLOCK: DISABLE
Appears only if STARTER TYPE is TWO SPEED. When disabled, the MM2
allows the motor to be started directly to high speed. When enabled, the
motor must be started in low speed before switching to high speed.
RAMP UP TIME: Range: 1 to 125 seconds; Step: 1 second

 4 SETPOINTS 4.2 S1 CONFIGURATION

CONTACTOR SEQUENCE: Range: 1S-2S, 2S-1S.

1S-2S
Appears only if STARTER TYPE is AUTOTRANS OPN TRANS. The 1S-2S value
closes the 1S contactor ahead of the 2S contactor as per some manu-
facturer wiring practices. The 2S-1S value means that the 2S contactor
will close ahead of the 1S contactor, another common wiring practice.
CHANGE OVER TIME: Range: 1 to 125 seconds; Step: 1 second.
5 s
Appears only if STARTER TYPE is AUTOTRANS OPN TRANS or AUTOTRANS CLS
TRANS. This is the time delay from the closure of Contactor A until the
opening of Contactor A.
STARTS/HOUR CONFIG: Range: Fixed Interval, Number.
Fixed Interval
This setpoint switches between the two types of Starts per Hour. If set to
Fixed Interval, the number of starts per hour is set by the STARTS PER HOUR
setpoint. If set to Number, then the number of starts per hour, as well as
the permissible time between starts, can be set.
Range: 1 to 5 or OFF; Step: 1
4
MAX STARTS/HOUR
PERMISSIBLE: 5
Appears only if the STARTS/HOUR CONFIG is set to Number.
A motor start is assumed to be occurring when the MM2 measures the
transition of no motor current to some value of motor current. At this
point, one of the Starts/Hour timers is loaded with 60 minutes. Even
unsuccessful start attempts will be logged as starts for this feature. Once
the motor is stopped, the number of starts within the past hour is com-
pared to the number of starts allowable. If the two are the same, an
inhibit will occur. If an inhibit occurs, the lockout time will be equal to one
hour less the longest time elapsed since a start within the past hour. An
Emergency restart will clear the oldest start time remaining.
TIME BETWEEN STARTS Range: 1 to 500 MIN or OFF; Step: 1
PERMISSIBLE: 3 MIN
Appears only if the STARTS/HOUR CONFIG is set to Number.
A motor start is assumed to be occurring when the MM2 measures the
transition of no motor current to some value of motor current. At this
point, the Time Between Starts timer is loaded with the entered time.
Even unsuccessful start attempts will be logged as starts for this feature.
Once the motor is stopped, if the time elapsed since the most recent
start is less than this setpoint, an inhibit will occur. If an inhibit occurs,
the lockout time will be equal to the time elapsed since the most recent
start subtracted from this setpoint.
In some cases, the motor manufacturer will specify the time between
motor starts. If this information is given, then the times provided on the
motor data sheets should be programmed.
STARTS PER HOUR: Range: 1 to 40 or OFF; Step: 1
5
Appears only if the STARTS/HOUR CONFIG is set to Fixed Interval. Limits the
number of starts per hour to prevent over heating of windings.

In the event of control power loss, the Time Between Starts and all Starts/Hour values will be
NOTE
saved. The elapsed time will be recorded and decremented from these timers whether control
power is applied or not.
Upon loss and reapplication of control power, the Time Between Starts counter value will
NOTE
increase to the next highest multiple of two minute increments. For example: if 0 min. and 12
sec. remain, cycling power returns the counter to 2 min. and 0 sec.; if 489 min. and 5 sec.
remain, cycling power returns the counter to 500 min. and 0 sec.

PATH: SETPOINTS WW S2 PROTECTION W MOTOR PROTECTION THERMAL

FULL LOAD CURRENT: Range: 5 to 1000 A or OFF, Step 1, for CT PRIMARY > 50 A
100 A 0.5 to 100.0 A or OFF, Step 0.1, for CT PRIMARY ≤ 50 A
Usually the rated current on the motor nameplate is entered as the full
load current value. A lower value effectively overprotects the motor. It is
not advisable to enter a value higher than the motor nameplate rating.
When the actual motor current exceeds this value, the thermal capacity
starts to be used up and the motor will eventually trip according to the
overload curve selected.
HIGH SPEED FULL LOAD Range: 5 to 1000 A or OFF, Step 1, for CT PRIMARY > 50 A
CURRENT: 100 A 0.5 to 100.0 A or OFF, Step 0.1, for CT PRIMARY ≤ 50 A
This setpoint functions the same way as FULL LOAD CURRENT, but refers
to the high speed FLC of a two-speed motor, and is only in effect while
contactor B is energized.
OVERLOAD PICKUP Range: 1.00 to 1.25; Step: 0.01
4
LEVEL: 1.00
This setpoint dictates where the overload curve begins as the motor
enters an overload condition. This is useful for service factor motors as it
allows the pickup level to be defined. The curve is effectively cut off at
current values below this pickup.
OVERLOAD CURVE Range: 1 to 8, CLASS 10, CLASS 15, CLASS 20, CLASS 30
NUMBER: 4
Select 1 of 12 different I2t time-overcurrent overload curves. Consult the
overload curve figures and tables in this manual (see pages 4–34 to 4–
37) to match the curve number to a particular motor. If no motor curve
data is available, select the curve which has a 6 times overload trip time
equal to the motor nameplate stall time. The MM2 also has four NEMA
class curves which can be selected should these curves be suggested
by the manufacturer.
HOT/COLD CURVE Range: 20 to 100%; Step: 1%
RATIO: 75
Defines the ratio of motor "hot" thermal characteristic to the motor "cold"
characteristic. It is used to thermally model the heating in the motor
when running at or below full load current. This is often determined from
motor thermal damage curves or Locked Rotor Time Hot and Locked
Rotor Time Cold data. HOT/COLD CURVE RATIO determines the thermal
capacity used when a motor has run at its full load current long enough
for the motor temperature to reach its steady state value, which is
defined as the hot temperature. Note that the thermal capacity used is
reduced according to the actual motor current.

For example, given the following motor information: motor FLC = 100 A, actual motor current = 80 A,
LRT Hot = 7 seconds, and LRT Cold = 10 seconds, the thermal capacity used can be determined
from the HOT/COLD CURVE RATIO as follows:
LRT Hot 7 sec.
HOT/COLD CURVE RATIO = ------------------------- × 100 = ------------------- × 100 = 70%
LRT Cold 10 sec.

4.3.5 MOTOR PROTECTION – GROUND FAULT

PATH: SETPOINTS WW S2: PROTECTION WW MOTOR PROTECTION GROUND FAULT

Care must be taken when turning ON the GROUND FAULT TRIP feature. If the interrupting
device (contactor or circuit breaker) is not rated to break ground fault current (low
NOTE resistance or solidly grounded systems), the feature should be disabled. Alternately,
the feature may be assigned to an auxiliary relay and connected such that it trips an
upstream device that is capable of breaking the fault current. Be aware that the MM2
will energize the auxiliary relay and de-energize contactor A at the same time when
the ground fault trip occurs. Unless a contactor trip delay setting has been chosen
4 (see AUX RELAY 1 CONFIG for details).
A change has been made in the way the MM2 calculates the 5A G/F alarm and trip lev-
els. On all software revisions prior to 3.30, the levels are based upon a percentage of
NOTE FULL LOAD CURRENT. From software revisions 3.30 and up, the levels are based on a
percentage of CT PRIMARY.

GROUND FAULT ALARM Range: 3 to 100% CT or OFF; Step: 1%

LEVEL: OFF %CT
This message will appear if the GROUND FAULT CT INPUT is set to 5A SEC
CBCT or 5A RESIDUAL. Set the GROUND FAULT ALARM LEVEL to some arbi-
trary amount below the GROUND FAULT TRIP LEVEL to get an early warning
of insulation breakdown. For maximum sensitivity, the value selected
should be just high enough to prevent nuisance alarms. If the 5A SEC
CBCT value is selected, the level is calculated as a percentage of the G/F
OR CT PRIMARY setting; if the 5A RESIDUAL value is selected, the level is cal-
culated as a percentage of the PHASE CT PRIMARY setting.
The resulting GROUND FAULT ALARM LEVEL setting should be
greater than 0.1A to avoid nuisance Ground Fault Alarms.

This message will appear if the GROUND FAULT CT INPUT is set to 5A SEC

3 phases and ground due to capacitance, insulation, resistance, etc. On
resistance limited ground systems, the value selected must be below the
maximum resistance limited current that can flow or a trip will never
occur. If no optimum value is known, monitor actual leakage current then
enter a current somewhat above this value. Ground Fault Trips at a later
time would indicate a deterioration in the system and insulation integrity
should be verified. Persistent, high values of leakage current pose a
OR
threat to personnel and equipment and should not be left unchecked. If
the 5A CBCT RESIDUAL value is selected, the level is calculated as a per-
centage of the G/F CT PRIMARY setting; if the 5A RESIDUAL value is
selected, the level is calculated as a percentage of the PHASE CT PRIMARY
setting.
The resulting GROUND FAULT TRIP LEVEL setting should be greater

4.3.6 MOTOR PROTECTION – OPTIONS

MINIMIZE RESET TIME: Range: ENABLE, DISABLE

ENABLE
The MM2 measures the motor thermal capacity used during a start.
This data can be used to minimize the lockout time following an Over-
load Trip. This allows the motor to be restarted after it has cooled to a
safe starting temperature. When set to DISABLE, the lockout time after
an Overload Trip will be the time required for the thermal memory to
reduce to 15%.
For example, if the thermal capacity used during the previous start is
40%, then after an occurrence of an Overload Trip, a RESET can be
accomplished when the thermal capacity decreases to 58% as shown:
100% – TC used during start – 2% Safety Margin
= 100% – 40% – 2% = 58%

 4 SETPOINTS 4.3 S2 PROTECTION

STOPPED MOTOR COOL Range: 5 to 1080 minutes; Step: 1 minute

TIME: 30 MINUTES
The STOPPED MOTOR COOL TIME determines how long it takes for a
stopped motor to reach steady state ambient temperature from its max-
imum allowable temperature. The maximum allowable temperature
occurs when the thermal capacity used reaches 100% (e.g. at the
occurrence of an Overload Trip). The Thermal Capacity value will
decrease exponentially to model the cooling characteristic of the motor.
The STOPPED MOTOR COOL TIME thus represents the time for the thermal
capacity value to decay through 5 time constants. Note that an Over-
load Trip can normally be reset when the thermal capacity value
decreases to 15%.
For example, given:
Maximum Thermal Capacity = 100% (Overload Trip)
STOPPED MOTOR COOL TIME = 30 minutes
The time to reach 15% Thermal Capacity Used can be calculated by:

Thermal Capacity = 100 × e

–t ⁄ T 4
Therefore, the time that must pass until the Thermal Capacity reaches
15% can be calculated as shown:
–t ⁄ T
Thermal Capacity = 100 × e
–t ⁄ T –t ⁄ T t
15 = 100 × e ⇒ 0.15 = e ⇒ --- = – ln ( 0.15 ) ⇒ t = – T ln 0.15
T
⇒ t = 11.4 minutes
OVERLOAD TRIP RESET: Range: MANUAL, AUTO
MANUAL
If this Setpoint is set to AUTO, an automatic reset of Overload Trips will
occur after the motor has cooled to a thermal capacity value below
15%. When set to MANUAL, the keypad RESET key must be pressed to
reset the trip after the motor has cooled to a thermal capacity value
below 15%.
RESET LOCKOUT USING Range: ENABLE, DISABLE
RESET KEY: ENABLE
If this setpoint is set to ENABLE, the RESET key on the faceplate of the
MM2 will reset all trips providing that the trip condition is not still
present. When set to DISABLE, the RESET key on the faceplate will not
reset the three lockout trips (Overload, Ground Fault, and Locked
Rotor); one of the interlock inputs will have to be used to reset these
three trips. Note: when the “Lockout Reset” function is configured, the
RESET key will no longer be able to reset the three lockout trips.
PHASE UNBALANCE Range: ENABLE, DISABLE
ALARM: ENABLE
When an unbalance in phase currents exceeds the internally set thresh-
old, an alarm condition will be generated if this value is set to ENABLE.
The internal threshold is 15% and the unbalance must be above this
threshold for at least 5 seconds for the alarm to occur.

desired.
OPEN CONTROL CIRCUIT Range: ENABLE, DISABLE
TRIP: ENABLE
In two-wire control applications where a constant start signal is pro-
vided, the MM2 should be configured to trip on an open control circuit.
An Open Control Circuit occurs when feedback on Contactor Status
(terminal 55) stays open when a start operation is executed. This condi-
tion may occur if a control wiring problem develops or because of an
AUX contact failure. The OPEN CONTROL CIRCUIT TRIP feature should be
used in conjunction with the RESET ALARMS USING RESET KEY function.
RESET ALARMS USING Range: ENABLE, DISABLE

power Trip feature is that it allows for more accurate sensing if the loss
of load results in only a small change in current and a power factor shift.
If the power remains below this value while the motor is running for the
time specified in UNDERPOWER TRIP DELAY, the MM2 will trip. Set this
value to OFF if no Underpower Trip is required.

STALLED ROTOR TRIP Range: 1.15 to 4.50 x FLC or OFF; Step: 0.05 x FLC
LEVEL: 4.50 xFLC
Mechanical equipment such as pumps or fans can be quickly damaged
if it jams, resulting in a locked rotor stall. Even though the motor may be
able to withstand the locked rotor for a longer time, it may be desirable
to trip the motor quickly as soon as the stall condition occurs. The MM2
will trip when the running current exceeds this value after the Stalled
Rotor Time. Set this value to OFF if stall protection of driven equipment
is not required since the thermal overload protection will protect the
motor. This feature is defeated during the inrush of motor starting.
STALLED ROTOR TRIP Range: 0.5 to 5.0 seconds; Step: 0.5 seconds

NOTE
The MM2 has 10 programmable switch inputs. Each input can have one of many functions assigned
to it. Once a function is assigned to one Interlock input, that function cannot be assigned to any other
Interlock input. The Interlock functions are:
• NOT USED: This is stored if this Interlock switch input is not used.
• PROCESS INTERLOCK A-J: The Process Interlock functions are used to provide time depen-
dent trip / alarm / stop features based on a switch input. This function is used together with the
STARTUP OVERRIDE DELAY, RUNNING OVERRIDE DELAY, OPERATION, and INSTANTANEOUS ALARM set-
points. The STARTUP OVERRIDE Delay setpoint sets the amount of time that the Process Interlock
switch can remain open on the occurrence of a motor start. If the switch remains unhealthy for
longer than this time, a Process Interlock Trip or Process Interlock Stop will occur. If the Startup
Override Delay is set to 0 the Process Interlock switch must be healthy in order for the MM2 to
allow the motor to start. If the Startup Override Delay is set to OFF this timer is disabled. The
RUNNING OVERRIDE DELAY setpoint sets the amount of time that the Process interlock switch can
be unhealthy during normal running. If the Process Interlock switch goes unhealthy after a motor
start and remains unhealthy for longer than the Running Override Delay, a Process Interlock Trip
or Process Interlock Stop will occur. If the RUNNING OVERRIDE DELAY is set to OFF, and the Pro-
cess Interlock switch goes unhealthy after the motor has started, no Process Interlock Trip or
Process Interlock Stop will occur. The OPERATION setpoint determines whether the Process Inter-
lock feature is a Process Interlock Trip (reset required in order to restart the motor) or a Process
Interlock Stop (no reset required). The INSTANTANEOUS ALARM setpoint is used to create an alarm
whenever the Process Interlock switch is unhealthy. There is no time delay associated with this
alarm feature. Note that the names of the Process Interlock features can be changed to any 20
alphanumeric character sequence. See S3: PROCESS \ INTERLOCK NAMES for further detail.

• PLANT INTERLOCK: This function is used to provide a switch input trip feature similar to the
Local Isolator. When this switch is unhealthy a Plant Interlock Trip will occur. The Plant Interlock
Trip is automatically cleared when the Plant Interlock switch goes healthy.
• LOCKOUT RESET: This function is used to provide a separate reset facility for lockout trips (i.e.
Overload, Ground Fault and Stalled Rotor). These trips are considered to be more serious than
other MM2 trips. When used, this switch will reset Overload Trips (regardless of Lockout Time),
Ground Fault Trips and Stalled Rotor Trips only. All other trips must be reset using the RESET
key. Note that the RESET LOCKOUT USING RESET setpoint in S2: PROTECTION \ MOTOR PROTECTION
OPTIONS allows lockout trips to be reset using the RESET key if required.
• SETPOINT ACCESS: This function is used to provide security against unauthorized changing of
MM2 setpoints. When this switch is unhealthy setpoints cannot be changed from the MM2 key-
pad. When this switch is healthy setpoints can be changed from the keypad. If this feature is not
used Setpoints can always be changed from the keypad.
• AUTO PERMISSIVE: This function is used together with the AUTO START A / AUTO START B
functions and can be further defined using the AUTO PERMISSIVE INDICATION and AUTO MODE set-
points. If the Auto Permissive Switch is healthy, start commands can come from the Auto Start A
/ Auto Start B switches. When the Auto Permissive Switch is unhealthy the Auto Start A / Auto 4
Start B switches are ignored. When the Auto Permissive Switch is healthy, start commands via
the Start A and B switch inputs and the faceplate are blocked. See AUTO PERMISSIVE INDICATION
and AUTO MODE setpoint descriptions for further functionality.
• AUTO START A: This function is used in conjunction with the AUTO PERMISSIVE function
described above. When the Auto Permissive switch is healthy, the Auto Start A switch can be
used to start the motor.
• AUTO START B: This function is used together with the AUTO PERMISSIVE function. When the
Auto Permissive switch is healthy, the Auto Start B switch can be used to start the motor in appli-
cations where Start B is used (Two Speed and Reversing starter types).
• AUTO PERMISSIVE INDICATION: This setpoint determines whether the AUTO or MANUAL
indicator LED is illuminated when in the auto permissive mode. This allows the AUTO LED to be
used for auto permissive and serial control, or just for serial control.
• AUTO MODE: This setpoint can be configured to either ‘SERIAL’ or ‘HARD-WIRED’. When in
the ‘SERIAL’ mode and the ‘AUTO’ button is pressed with the ‘AUTO PERMISSIVE’ switch
unhealthy, the MM2 will execute start commands from the RS485 serial link only. When in the
‘HARD-WIRED’ mode and the ‘AUTO’ key is pressed, the MM2 will execute start commands
from the ‘AUTO START A’ and ‘AUTO START B’ switch inputs only. Note: The ‘AUTO PERMIS-
SIVE’ switch input must be healthy in order to do auto starts. This setpoint allows the user to
change the control mode from MANUAL to HARD-WIRED AUTO via the AUTO/MANUAL buttons
instead of having it done automatically when the Auto Permissive switch input is put into the
healthy position.
• RESET EMERGENCY STOP TRIP: This function is used when a separate Emergency Stop Trip
Reset switch is required. When this switch is healthy and an Emergency Stop Trip is present, the
trip will be reset.
• RESET UNDERCURRENT TRIP: This function is used when a separate Undercurrent Trip
Reset switch is required. When this switch is healthy and an Undercurrent Trip is present, the trip
will be reset.

• TWO WIRE CONTROL: This function is used to provide a means to switch from normal pulsed
three wire start / stop control to maintained two wire start / stop control. When this switch is
healthy, start commands (Start A / Start B switch inputs Auto Start A / Auto Start B switch inputs)
must be maintained in the closed state in order for the MM2 to keep the motor running. When the
Start input is opened, the MM2 sees this as a STOP command and both contactor outputs will
open. This is useful in applications with limit switches, PLC control or Hand/Off/Auto control.
• TEST SWITCH: This function is used to create a Test switch facility. When the Test switch input
is healthy statistical counters (see actual values A4: STATISTICS \ COUNTERS) are not incremented
with the exception of the interlock counter. This is used when control tests on the contactor are
being performed and counters should not be updated. Note: if the motor is running when this
switch is put into the healthy position, both contactors will open.
• REMOTE PERMISSIVE: This function provides a means to interlock between the keypad START
A / START B keys and the Start A / Start B switch inputs. When a Remote Permissive switch is
not used both of these start command sources will operate when the MM2 is in Manual mode
(MANUAL LED on). When the Remote Permissive switch is healthy, the Start A / Start B switch
inputs are functional but the START A / START B keypad keys are disabled. When the Remote
4 Permissive switch is unhealthy, the START A / START B keypad keys are functional but the Start
A / Start B switch inputs are disabled. Note: Auto mode or Hardwired Auto mode (AUTO LED on)
disables both the Start A / Start B switches and the START A / START B keypad keys.
• COMMUNICATION SELECT: This function provides a facility to override the keypad AUTO /
MANUAL keys. When this switch is healthy the MM2 is forced into Auto Serial mode (AUTO LED
on). When this switch is unhealthy, the MM2 reverts back to the mode that was present before
the switch was closed (Manual mode-MANUAL LED on or Hard-Wired Auto mode-AUTO LED
on).
• INTERLOCK COUNTER: This function provides a means to count switch closures when
assigned to one of the programmable switch inputs. When the switch input is put into the healthy
position, the counter will increment by one. The counter can be viewed on page A4: STATISTICS \
COUNTERS. The interlock counter name and units can be programmed on page S3: PROCESS \
INTERLOCK NAMES. The digital input coming into the MM2 must have an ON time of no less than
100 ms and an OFF time of no less than 100 ms. This means that the MM2 can count up to 5
pulses per second = 5 Hz. The counter will count up to 65535 and then roll over. The counter can
be cleared on page S1: CONFIGURATION \ STATISTICS or via the serial communications link.
• AUX RELAY 1 INHIBIT: This function will override/inhibit AUX Relay 1. When healthy, it will pre-
vent AUX Relay 1 from turning ON, or turn OFF AUX Relay 1 after it is already ON.
• WYE-DELTA 1M CONTACT: This function is used as a status feedback input for the wye-delta
closed transition starter type. See Section 8.11: WYE-DELTA CLOSED TRANSITION STARTER.
• WYE-DELTA 2S CONTACT: This function is used as a status feedback input for the wye-delta

• U/V RESTART INHIBIT: This function disables the undervoltage restart feature when the switch
is in the healthy position and allows U/V restarts to take place when the switch is unhealthy. Note
that the undervoltage restart feature must be activated in S4: CONTROL for this interlock function to
have any effect.

• STOP A: This function is used for end of travel applications. When an interlock configured for
STOP A opens the corresponding output relay will open. When the STOP A input is open the
motor cannot be started using start A commands or switch inputs.
• STOP B: This function is used for end of travel applications. When an interlock configured for
STOP B opens the corresponding output relay will open. When the STOP B input is open the
motor cannot be started using start B commands or switch inputs.
• REMOTE RESET: This function replaces the faceplate reset key. When configured the faceplate
reset key will not reset any trips. When other switch inputs are used to reset specific trips the
remote reset switch input will not reset those trips, i.e. Undercurrent Trip, Emergency Stop Trip,
Lockout Trips.
• MOTOR SELECTOR A/B: This setting is used in conjunction with the Duty/Standby starter type.
In the Manual mode the state of this interlock determines which of the two motors is used for
starting (Healthy = Motor B). When A is selected only the contactor A output relay will respond to
start commands. When B is selected only the contactor B output relay will respond to start com- 4
mands.
• DUTY SELECT MAN/AUTO: This setting is used in conjunction with the Duty/Standby starter
type. This input determines the mode of operation for the Duty/Standby starter type either Manual
or Auto. In the Auto mode the MM2 will alternatively start Motor A and Motor B. When the number
of starts is an even number Motor A will be started the next time a start command is issued.
When the number of starts is odd Motor B will be started the next time a start command is issued.
In the event of a trip on either motor, the motor that tripped will be prevented from starting until
reset is pressed. All starts will default to the untripped motor. When the trip occurs the MM2 auto-
matically resets the trip to allow the other motor to be started. The trip message becomes an
alarm message which must be reset to allow the tripped motor to start. If the second motor trips
the MM2 will remain tripped until reset is pressed. The details of the Manual mode are described
above under MOTOR SELECTOR A/B above.
Faceplate Stop trips, Process Stop trips and ESD Stop trips MUST be manually
reset regardless of the Duty/Standby mode. Local Isolator and Plant Interlock trips
NOTE reset only when the input is healthy.
• SWITCH INPUT MONITOR: When assigned, the application of the switch input monitor feature
requires an input to be permanently wired closed via a hardware jumper. When the Switch Input
Monitor feature is assigned to an Interlock, the MM2 continually reads the switches as it normally
would and then checks the switch monitor input to check if it is still healthy. If so, the MM2
updates the switch data with the new switch read and performs any necessary functions. If not,
the MM2 assumes the unit is in an undervoltage situation and disregards the switch data until the
Switch Input Monitor becomes healthy again. This feature improves the reliability of the Under-
voltage Restart element to successfully restart the motor under very specific voltage dips and
durations (approximately 56 to 62% of nominal 100 ms duration).
• BYPASS CONTACT: This function is used as a status feedback input for the soft starter. See
Section 8.13: SOFT STARTER on page 8–38 for functionality.

4.5 S4 CONTROL 4.5.1 DESCRIPTION

This page is used to configure all control features in the MM2. Setpoints Page 4 is divided into three
sections, UNDERVOLTAGE AUTO-RESTART, AUX RELAY 1 CONFIG and AUX RELAY 2 CONFIG.

4.5.2 UNDERVOLTAGE AUTORESTART

PATH: SETPOINTS WWWW S4: CONTROL W UNDERVOLTAGE AUTO RESTART

UNDERVOLTAGE Range: ENABLE, DISABLE

RESTART: ENABLE
It is possible to restart the motor after a momentary power loss if this
feature is enabled. When the control voltage (derived from the incoming
motor supply) drops below the dropout voltage, both contactors are de-
energized. Voltage thresholds for the two internally set control voltage
levels are 80 V for 120 V setting and 150 V for 240 V setting. At nomi-
nal voltage, the MM2 rides through a power outage less than 135 ms
(varies according to the number of output relays energized at the time
of power failure). Critical data is saved to E2PROM at this time. A power 4
outage that exceeds the MM2 ride-through initializes a backup timer
that continues to run without power for approximately 1 hour. Once con-
trol power is restored, the MM2 can take up to 300 ms to initialize; this
time includes the initializing of the microprocessor, variables in the
code, the determination that a restart is required, and the closure of the
internal output relay. The reaction time of the contactor will be in addi-
tion to the 300 ms power-up time. If control voltage is restored within
the IMMED. RESTART POWER LOSS TIME (0.1 to 0.5 sec.), the motor will be
restarted immediately. If the supply is restored after the IMMED. RESTART
POWER LOSS TIME but before the DELAY RESTART POWER LOSS TIME, the
motor will be restarted after the RESTART TIME DELAY. If a delayed restart
is always required, set the DELAY RESTART POWER LOSS TIME to UNLIM-
ITED. Select DISABLE if this feature is not required.
IMMED. RESTART POWER Range: 100 to 500 ms or OFF; Step: 20 ms
LOSS TIME: 200 ms
This is the time measured by the MM2 backup processor; it is not the
time the AC power has been off. See UNDERVOLTAGE RESTART for
details.
DELAY RESTART POWER Range: 0.1 to 10 seconds or TIME UNLIMITED; Step: 0.1 sec.
LOSS TIME: 2.0 s
This is the time measured by the MM2 backup processor; it is not the
time the AC power has been off. See UNDERVOLTAGE RESTART for
details.
RESTART TIME DELAY Range: 0.2 to 1200.0 seconds; Step: 0.2 seconds
2.0 s
See UNDERVOLTAGE RESTART for details.

The MM2 will not initiate an undervoltage autorestart if there is a start inhibit active.
After the start inhibit has expired, a manual restart is allowed.
