Technical Description
FieldBusPlug / Issue: 03.2012
Protection functions can be either on or off. If switched on, they can trigger a protection trip or a warning
(excluding the thermal overload which is always active and triggers a trip). For some functions an optional
delay can be specified. Some protection functions are only active after motor start-up while others are
active during motor start.
Below is an overview of the available protection functions and when they are active. For details see the
following sections.

The motor start-up period ends when the motor current drops to 135% of Ie or if the class
time (i.e. Class 5 -> 1.5 s, Class 10 -> 3 s , class 20 -> 6s, class 30 -> 9s, class 40 -> 12s)
is over. The class time begins with the start command.
The motor-related and protection-related parameters shall be set according to the motor manufacturer's
data sheet. Other parameters of the UMC shall be carefully selected based on the process and the sys-
tem requirements.
