SIMATIC - ET 200pro motor starter

10.2 Basic parameters
Definition
Basic parameters are "central" parameters required by several device functions.
The number of device functions and the output class depend on the device ver-
sion and cannot be parameterized.
10.2.1 Device parameters
Rated operating current
You use this parameter to specify the rated operating current that the feeder
(switching devices and motor) can carry continuously. The setting range
depends on the output class.
Caution
The rated operating current is the most important central parameter! The rated
operating current must always be set to ensure that the motor is protected!
Special feature:
– In the motor starter, the rated operating current is set ex works to
the maximum value (for tests on commissioning without field bus and without previ-
ous parameterization).
– For safety reasons, the rated operating current in the GSD and the software 'Motor
Starter ES' is set to the minimum value. You must, therefore, parameterize this
value during configuration (project planning), otherwise the motor starter would oper-
ate due to an overload the first time it is started.
