"Dahlander reversing starter" control function 
Description 
This control function can be used to change the direction of rotation of a motor at both 
speeds.  
● 
 Start with "ON >" activates contactor control QE2 (CW-SLOW) 
● 
 Start with "ON >>" first activates contactor control QE3 (star contactor 
FAST) and then immediately activates contactor control QE1 (CW-FAST) 
● 
 Start with "ON <" activates contactor control QE4 (CCW-SLOW) 
● 
 Start with "ON <<" first activates contactor control QE3 (star contactor 
FAST) and then immediately activates contactor control QE5 (CCW-FAST) 
● 
 with "OFF" deactivates the contactor controls. 
The control commands can be issued to SIMOCODE pro from any control stations (see also 
the description of "control stations"). Thus, the inputs (plugs) must be connected to the 
corresponding sockets, preferably to the "Enabled control command" sockets. It does not 
matter in what order the control commands are given. Every fault message causes the 
contactor control to be deactivated. 
Switching the direction of rotation  
The direction of rotation can be switched once the "Status - ON >" or "Status - ON <" signal 
has expired (motor is switched off) 
 the interlocking time has elapsed: 
●  Via the OFF control command 
●  Directly when "Saving change-over command" is activated. 
SIMOCODE pro prevents both contactors from switching on at the same time. Switching 
from one direction of rotation to the other can be delayed via the "interlocking time." 
The speed can be switched once the "Feedback ON" signal has expired (motor is switched 
off) 
 on change-over from "FAST" → "SLOW" after the change-over pause has elapsed: 
●  Via the OFF control command 
●  Directly when "Saving change-over command" is activated.
