8. Operation
8.1 Start, Stop and Reset Commands
The EMX4i can be started and stopped via the digital inputs, remote keypad,
communication network, smart card or scheduled auto-start/stop. The command
source can be set via the Setup Tools, or using parameter 1A
Command Source
.
• The EMX4i will only accept Start and Reset commands from the
designated command source.
• The EMX4i will accept Stop commands from the designated command
source, but can be forced to stop by opening the reset input, or by opening
the start/stop input during an auto-start/stop cycle.
• The programmable input can be used to override the selected command
source (refer to parameter 7A
Input A Function
).
8.2 Command Override
The programmable input (13, 14) can be used to override the command source, for
situations where the normal control mechanism has been lost. Set parameter 7A
Input A Function
to the alternative command source (eg 'Command Override:
Keypad').
While the input is active, the starter will only accept commands from the selected
override source. To restore control to the command source selected in parameter
1A
Command Source
, reopen the input.
8.3 Auto-Start/Stop
The EMX4i can be configured to automatically start and/or stop the motor at a
particular time, or run it in cycles of a specified duration.
Start delay, restart delay and auto-reset delay all apply to auto-start operation.
Clock mode
The starter can start and/or stop the motor once per day.
For clock mode to operate:
• parameter 4A
Auto-Start/Stop Mode
must be set to 'Enable'
• parameter 1A
Command Source
must be set to 'Clock'
• the reset input must be closed
• the start input (11, 12) must be active. This allows the EMX4i to be stopped
via the digital inputs in an emergency.
Clock mode operation is controlled by parameters 4D ~ 4X.
