WARNING
Automatic starting in test operation (simulation)
Can cause death or serious injury.
The 3RW55 and 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters immediately continue to operate with the values
set by the control once test operation has been activated. Outputs are activated when the ON
condition is met.
Take appropriate measures to prevent unintentional starting and to ensure a dened start of
the system.
The execution of the test mode function "Simulation" is possible as follows:
• 3RW5 HMI High Feature (from rmware version V2.0)
Menu "Control > Test mode"
Access protection to 3RW5 HMI High Feature is not active or has been reset.
• With SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) via the local interface on the 3RW5 HMI High Feature
Brief overview: Window "Project Navigation" with current project under created Soft Starter >
"Commissioning" > Window "Work area" > "Soft Starter > Functions > Test mode"
• With a eldbus via a 3RW5 communication module (only via a 3RW5 PROFINET or PROFIBUS
communication module):
– With SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) Premium / Professional
Brief overview: See SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) via the local interface on the
3RW5 HMI High Feature
– Conguration software of the control system (e.g. STEP 7 with corresponding HSP)
– User program
Parameters
Parameters Description
Activate simulation On activation of the test mode function "Simulation", simulation of
the motor operating states is started automatically.
