Switching frequency monitoring 
(factory setting) 
The switching frequency monitoring is deactivated. 
 
The switching frequency monitoring always relates to the start time of the 
preceding Motor ON command and the start time of the new Motor ON 
command. The switching frequency monitoring time t
1
 or t
2
 starts as soon 
as an effective switch-on command is present. 
 
The switching frequency monitoring always relates to the end time of the 
preceding Motor ON command (Motor OFF) and the starting time of the 
new Motor ON command. The switching frequency monitoring time t
1
 or t
2
 
starts as soon as no effective switch-on command is present. 
Maximum number of starts 
This parameter is only relevant in combination with the switching frequency 
monitoring time t
2
. If the parameter for the switching frequency monitoring 
time t
2
 has the value "0" (= deactivated), then this parameter is irrelevant 
and its value has no meaning. 
If the parameter for the switching frequency monitoring time t
2
 has a value 
not equal to "0" (= activated), then this parameter defines the maximum 
number of starts, until which the switching frequency monitoring time t
2
 
does not have to be observed. At the latest upon reaching the maximum 
number of starts, the switching frequency monitoring time t
2
 must be 
observed once. If the switching frequency monitoring time t
2
 is observed 
before reaching the maximum number of starts, then the counter for the 
number of starts begins again at "1". 
•  Factory setting: 2 
•  Setting range: 2 ... 255 
•  Increment: 1 
Switching frequency monitoring time t
1
  The time t
1
 must be shorter than the time t
2
. 
The parameter value "0" deactivates the switching frequency monitoring 
time t
1
. 
•  Factory setting: 0 s 
•  Setting range: 0 ... 65 535 s  
•  Increment: 1 s 
Switching frequency monitoring time t
2
  The time t
2
 must be longer than the time t
1.
 
The parameter value "0" deactivates the switching frequency monitoring 
time t
2
. 
•  Factory setting: 0 s 
•  Setting range: 0 ... 65 535 s  
•  Increment: 1 s 
Response to ON-command during active 
monit. time 
 
The trip is automatically acknowledged if no monitoring time is still active.  
If an ON command is still pending, the motor is switched on. 
 
The trip must be acknowledged with the "Reset" function.
