16 S811+ Soft Starter MN03900001E—November 2012
Terminal Block Control Input Function Options
Programmable control input functions are available on terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4. Please note 
that all input signals except the analog input must be 18 Vdc or greater (High) and 5 Vdc or 
less (Low).
Input Configuration Options 
0–No Function—May be used to configure terminal so no 
input signal will be recognized. This option has no Fault Trip 
or Fault Warning functionality.
1–RUN1—Control Input 24 Vdc only (momentary input with 
3 wire control, maintained for 2 wire control). Applying 24 Vdc
 
to terminal 1 while terminal P is energized will initiate a 
START command. As shipped from the factory this input is 
“level” sensitive. Multiple RUN1 control commands are 
allowed.
Note: To achieve start control from the terminal block, at 
least one (1) terminal input must be assigned with 
RUN1. Not required for network control.
Note: There are three (3) Start Delay timers available in the 
Advanced I/O menu that may be used to select Start 
Delay Configurations.
Power On Start Delay—A timer will start upon 24 Vdc 
power up of the S811+. A RUN1 (Start) command or 
RUN2 (JOG) will not be recognized until the expiration 
of this timer.
Start Delay—A timer will start upon receiving a valid 
RUN1 (Start) command. The S811+ will initiate a Start 
ramp at the expiration of the timer in accordance with 
user selected Start Ramp parameter settings.
Run Change Delay—If the Ramp2 (second ramp 
profile) is enabled, a timer will start anytime the 
S811+ transitions from running to stop. The S811+ 
will initiate a Start at the expiration of the timer in 
accordance with user selected Ramp2 parameter 
settings.
If a RUN1 command is active prior to the expiration of 
an enabled timer, a Fault Warning will be displayed on 
the DIM.
2–Ramp2—Control Input 24 Vdc only. Applying a 24 Vdc 
signal prior to a RUN1 command will select the functionality 
of a second start/stop ramp profile. The start ramp time, 
initial torque, soft stop, and pump stop parameters are 
located in the Advanced I/O Menu. 
3–JOG—Control Input 24 Vdc only (momentary). Applying 
24 Vdc to this input while P is energized will initiate a JOG. 
JOG will follow the selected ramp profile as long as the 
signal remains present. The unit will not close the internal 
bypass contactors.
4–LOCAL–HAND/AUTO Control Input 24 Vdc only 
(maintained). The LOCAL option is HAND. Energizing this 
input will select the terminal block as the source of motor 
control. It must be energized to START or JOG the motor 
from the terminal block 
5–RESET–Fault RESET Control Input 24 Vdc only 
(momentary). Energizing this input will reset a fault 
only if no active faults are present.
6–E-Stop–Control Input 24 Vdc only (maintained). E-Stop 
action of the unit may be triggered by an external device. 
Removal of the 24 Vdc signal (maintained) from the E-Stop 
terminal will initiate a Fault Trip action. E-Stop functionality 
will remove power from the motor with no soft stop or pump 
stop, if enabled.
7–Alarm-No-Trip–Control Input 24 Vdc only (maintained). 
Removal or loss of the 24 Vdc signal will enable this function. 
Please refer to the Alarm-No-Trip information in the 
Operating Configuration section for additional information.
Note: The Alarm-No-Trip feature disables all but the most 
severe protection parameters, and may result in 
undesirable START ramp characteristics. The 
Alarm-No-Trip feature should not be used to address 
nuisance trip issues.
