MPS Motor Protection System Rev. 6-F-022117
Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Littelfuse Startco Motor Protection System (MPS)
is a modular system with integrated protection, control,
metering, and data-logging functions. The Control Unit
(MPS-CTU) is the core module. It can operate as a stand-
alone unit or with the Operator Interface (MPS-OPI),
RTD Modules (MPS-RTD), and Differential Module
(MPS-DIF). The CTU can be programmed using the OPI
or the communications network. Programmable inputs
and outputs provide a flexible hardware platform and
custom software can be easily loaded from a PC to the
CTU’s flash memory. The MPS block diagram is shown
in Fig. 1.1.
