Receiving and handling

Introduction
The ATS22 offers acceleration and deceleration control of standard three-phase asynchronous induction (squirrel cage) motors. The ATS22
controls the motor performance based on the motor torque rather than simple voltage or current based control. Advanced control algorithms
are incorporated to help smooth rotation throughout the starting ramp and reducing mechanical instability at the end of starting.
A digital keypad display is provided for soft starter setup and motor performance display.
The ATS22 is available in 15 rated currents from 17 to 590 A. ATS22 are rated for use from 208 to 600 V motors, and are self-adjusting for
a 50 or 60 Hz supply frequency.
This user manual covers the technical characteristics, specifications, installation, wiring, programming, and troubleshooting of ATS22.

Terminology
Some of the terms and acronyms used in this manual are defined in the table below:

Receiving and handling

Handling the soft starter


Hoisting the ATS22
The ATS22 range comprises 5 frame sizes, with various weights and dimensions.
Small soft starters can be removed from their packaging and installed without a handling device. A handling device must be used from
ATS22C21ppp to ATS22C59ppp; for this reason they are supplied with lifting holes.

WARNING
HANDLING AND LIFTING HAZARD
Keep the area below any equipment being lifted clear of all personnel and property. Use the lifting method as shown below.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Do not remove the ATS22 from the carton until it is at the final installation site. Handle
the soft starter carefully after removing it from the carton to avoid damage to the
internal components, frame, or exterior. Once removed from the carton, the soft starter
can be handled:
With a hoist. When hoisting the soft starter, attach a spreader bar to the two
lifting holes on top as shown below.
In a horizontal position, with the back of the soft starter resting on a pallet.

Selection

Torque characteristic
Ts and Is: Direct on line starting of an asynchronous motor.
Ts1: Total torque range available with an Altistart 22, which is dependent on the
limiting current ILt, page 51.
The progression of the soft starter is controlled by the motor torque within this range.
Tr: Resistive torque, which must always be less than the Ts1 torque.

Soft starter selection


S1 motor duty corresponds to starting followed by operation at constant load enabling the thermal stability to be reached.
S4 motor duty corresponds to a cycle comprising starting, operation at constant load and an idle period. This cycle is characterized by a
load factor.
The Altistart 22 must be selected depending on the type of application ("standard" or "severe") and the nominal power of the motor.
"Standard" or "severe" applications define the limiting values of the current and the cycle for motor duties S1 and S4. These duties are
described in the IEC 60034-1.

Standard application
Example: centrifugal pump
In standard application, the Altistart 22 is designed to provide:
in S1 duty: starting at 3.5 In for 40 seconds from a cold state.
in S4 duty: a load factor of 90% and n starts per hour (see table below), with 3.5 In for 20 seconds or an equivalent thermal cycle.
In this case, the motor thermal protection must conform to protection class 10.

(1) Note : in case of both soft starts and soft stops, the number of starts has to be divided by 2.

Severe application
The Altistart 22 rated current is limited to 3.5 IcL, see table page 19.IcL is the nominal current of the Altistart 22. If the application
requires a higher rated starting current (> 3.5 IcL), the soft starter must be oversized. See soft starter selection table, page 11.

Mounting Precautions
Follow these precautions when mounting the ATS22 soft starter:
The soft starter is compliant with pollution Degree 2 as defined in NEMA ICS1-1 or IEC 60664-1.
For environment pollution degree 3 install the product inside a cabinet type 12 or IP54.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
ATS22 soft starters are open devices and must be mounted in a suitable enclosure.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
The ATS22 soft starter generates heat and must be properly ventilated. Refer to "Thermal considerations for sizing enclosures page
19 to determine power dissipated.
When several soft starters are installed in a control panel, arrange them in a row. Do not stack soft starters. Heat generated from the
bottom soft starter can adversely affect the ambient temperature around the top soft starter.
Install the ATS22 vertically, within 10 (other positions are not allowed).
Do not place it close to heating elements. Leave sufficient free space so that the air required for cooling purposes can circulate from
the bottom to the top of the unit.
Electrical current through the ATS22 will result in heat losses that must be dissipated into the ambient air immediately surrounding
the soft starter. To help prevent a thermal fault, provide sufficient enclosure cooling and/or ventilation to limit the ambient temperature
around the soft starter.
S 100 mm (3.9 in)
Note: For the soft starters mounted side-by-side, the free space
must be 50 mm (1.95 in.)

Soft starter ventilation


On soft starters installed with a cooling fan, the fan is factory set to switch on automatically as soon as the heatsink temperature reaches
46C (114.8F).
It is switched off when the heatsink temperature falls back to 43C (109.4F). This behavior can be modified by adjusting the FAn
parameter in IO menu on page 61.

Mounting in a General Purpose Metal Enclosure


Observe the mounting recommendations on the previous page.

To help proper air circulation in the soft starter:


Install ventilation grilles.
Verify that ventilation is adequate: if not install a forced ventilation unit, with a
filter if necessary.
Derate the soft starter current IcL by 2.2% per C for temperatures above 40C up
to 60C (104F up to 140F).

Mounting in a dust and damp-proof metal enclosure


Ventilation for dust and damp- proof enclosure

i = internal ambient temperature


e = external ambient temperature

Follow the instructions in this section in order to meet NEMA Type 12 (IP54) degree of protection.
Do not use insulated or non-metallic enclosures as they have poor thermal conduction. Provide a stirring fan to circulate air inside the
enclosure and to help prevent hot spots in the soft starter. This allows operation of the soft starter in an enclosure with a maximum internal
temperature of 60C (140F). Ensure that the ambient temperature around the soft starters does not exceed this limit.
Derate the soft starter current IcL by 2.2% per C for temperatures above 40C up to 60C (104F up to 140F).

Thermal considerations for sizing enclosures


When mounting the ATS22 soft starter in an enclosure, use the enclosure manufacturers recommendations for proper sizing based on
thermal considerations. For this, it is necessary to sum the power dissipated by each device in the enclosure. Table hereafter lists the steady
state and starting power dissipations for the ATS22 soft starter, operating at rated current.

Thermal protection

Soft starter thermal protection


The thermal protection is provided by the temperature sensor installed on the heatsink.

Motor thermal protection


Standard IEC 60947-4-2 defines the protection classes giving the starting capacities of the motor (warm or cold start) without thermal faults.
Different protection classes are given for a COLD state (corresponding to a stabilized motor thermal state, switched off) and for a WARM
state (corresponding to a stabilized motor thermal state, at nominal power).

The soft starter is factory set to protection class 10.


This protection class can be modified using tHP parameter in SEt menu.
The motor thermal state is stored in memory. No estimate of motor cooling is calculated while power of the control part is off.
An overload alarm is activated if motor thermal state exceeds 110%.
A thermal trip OLF stops the motor if motor thermal state exceeds 125%.
If the thermal protection has not been disabled, the thermal trip can be indicated by a relay depending on output assignment.
After the motor has stopped or the soft starter has been switched off, the thermal state is saved. At next start or switch on, the thermal
protection value is restored.
If a special motor is used (explosion proof, submersible, etc.), the thermal protection should be provided by PTC probes.

NOTICE
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR
The use of external overload protection is required under the following conditions:
Running multiple motors
Running motors rated at less than 40% of the nominal soft starter current
Using motor switching
Using special motor (explosion proof, submersible, etc...)
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
See Motor thermal protection with PTC probes, page 25.

Installation Precautions

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Read and understand this manual before installing or operating the Altistart 22. Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance
must be performed by qualified personnel.
The user is responsible for compliance with all international and national electrical code requirements with respect to grounding of
all equipment.
Many parts of this soft starter, including the printed circuit boards, operate at the line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH. Use only electrically
insulated tools.
DO NOT touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw connections with voltage present.
Before servicing the soft starter:
- Disconnect all power, including external control power that may be present.
- Place a DO NOT TURN ON label on all power disconnects.
- Lock all power disconnects in the open position.
Install and close all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the soft starter.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Good wiring practice requires the separation of control circuit wiring from all power (line and load) wiring. Power wiring to the motor must
have the maximum possible separation from all other power wiring. Do not run them in the same conduit. This separation reduces the
possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits.
Follow these precautions when installing the ATS22 soft starter:
Voltage and frequency specifications for the input line must match the soft starter configuration.
A disconnect switch must be installed between the input line and the soft starter.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The solid state switches of the ATS22 soft starters power circuit do not provide complete isolation from the AC line. Due to leakage
currents through the solid-state switches, hazardous voltages can be present on the soft starter load-side power circuit whenever
power is applied to the line side of the soft starter.
Disconnect all power before servicing the soft starter or motor.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
When using an isolation contactor, the contactor must close before or at the same time as the application of the soft starter run
command. If line power is not detected at the L1, L2, and L3 terminals of the soft starter within 500 ms of this run command, a Phase
Failure trip will occur.
External overcurrent protection devices (OCPD), either fuses or a circuit breaker, must be installed on the line-side connections of
the ATS22 soft starter. The maximum recommended OCPD rating, along with the associated soft starter short circuit withstand rating,
is listed on the Quickstart S1A14738.

26

BBV51330 08/2012

Wiring

WARNING
INADEQUATE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
An overcurrent protective device must be installed on the line-side of the ATS22 to achieve published short-circuit withstand ratings.
Do not exceed the maximum overcurrent protective device ratings shown on the Quickstart annex (S1A14738).
Do not connect the soft starter to a power feeder whose short circuit capacity exceeds the soft starter short circuit withstand rating
shown on the Quickstart annex (S1A14738).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Power factor correction capacitors should not be connected to a motor controlled by an ATS22 soft starter. If power factor correction
is required, the capacitors must be located on the line-side of the soft starter. A separate contactor should be used to switch the
capacitors off when the motor is off, or during acceleration and deceleration. Refer to bulletin No 8638PD9603.

NOTICE
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE SOFT STARTER
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors to the load-side power circuit of the ATS22.
Do not connect loads other than motors (for example transformers and resistors are forbidden).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
The ATS22 uses solid-state power switches to control motor power. When checking the condition of conductor or motor insulation,
do not connect the high potential dielectric test equipment or insulation resistance tester to the soft starter since the test voltages used
may damage the soft starter. Always disconnect the soft starter from the conductors or motor before performing such tests.

NOTICE
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE SOFT STARTER
Do not perform high potential dielectric tests on circuits while the circuits are connected to the ATS22 soft starter.
Any circuit requiring high potential dielectric tests must be disconnected from the soft starter prior to performing the test.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
The ATS22 contains electronic circuitry to detect and signal when the solid-state switches have become inoperable.
Since the solid-state switches may be incapable of completely blocking the motor power should the soft starter detect a fault, auxiliary
isolation on the line side of the soft starter is required. Use either a circuit breaker equipped with a shunt trip coil or an electromagnetic
contactor. Connect the isolation device to the detected fault relay of the soft starter so that it opens the soft starter power circuit in the
event of a soft starter trip. The isolation device must be capable of interrupting motor locked rotor current.

BBV51330 08/2012

27

Wiring

Refer to application diagrams that display the logic controlling the isolation device via the detected fault relay.

CAUTION
MOTOR OVERHEATING HAZARD
If the solid-state switches on the ATS22 become inoperable, single-phase operation of the motor can result.
Use an isolation device consisting of either a circuit breaker equipped with a shunt trip coil or an electromagnetic contactor to open
the line-side of the soft starter.
The isolation device must be capable of interrupting the motor locked rotor current.
Connect the detected fault relay of the soft starter to open the isolation device in the event of a soft starter trip.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

WARNING
INADEQUATE SYSTEM GROUNDING- BRANCH CIRCUIT CONDUCTOR HAZARD
If system grounding is not adequate for ground fault levels, use properly coordinated external ground fault protection. Possible solutions
include:
Time delay fuses coordinated to 125% of motor FLA.
A properly coordinated external overload relay.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

System Grounding
If system grounding is not adequate to handle ground trip levels which can exceed 1300% of motor full load amps (Motor FLA), then this
device may not protect the branch circuit conductors. In this case, external ground trip protection must be properly coordinated.
Recommended solutions include:
Time delay fuses coordinated to 125% of motor FLA. The fuses listed in the chapter Branch circuit protection are sized to provide
proper coordination and may be used for applications that do not require start times longer than 50 seconds at 300% current limit or
20 seconds at 500% current limit.
External overload relay. For multi-motor applications, applications in which motor does not match the soft starter size, or applications
that use a full voltage bypass scheme, an external overload relay can be coordinated to protect conductors from a high-impedance
ground trip.

General wiring practices


When wiring ATS22 soft starter, follow the wiring practices required by national and local electrical codes. In addition, follow these
guidelines:
Use metallic conduit for all soft starter wiring. Do not run control and power wiring in the same conduit.
Separate metallic conduits carrying power wiring or low-level control wiring by at least 80 mm (3 in).
Separate non-metallic conduits or cable trays used to carry power wiring from metallic conduit carrying low-level control wiring by at
least 305 mm (12 in).
Always cross power and control wiring at right angles.
Keep the control circuits away from the power cables.

Adaptation to line input


The control circuit is completely independent of the power circuit. To apply control voltage, follow the instructions on the label located on
the soft starter terminal strip. Connect single phase voltage of 110 or 230 Vac supply to terminals CL1 and CL2.
The power circuit adapts automatically to the input line voltage and frequency over a range of 230 to 440 V for ATS22pppQ soft starters,
and over a range of 208 to 600 V for ATS22pppS6 and ATS22pppS6U soft starters.

Bypass contactor

NOTICE
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT
The motor phase loss detection of the 3 phases is only active at the startup of the soft starter.
It will not be detected if the loss occurred while the soft starter is already in running state
When downstream contactor is used in the sequence:
- The contactor must be closed before to apply the run command to the soft starter.
- Ensure that contactor will not be released while the soft starter is already running.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
An internal bypass contactor is integrated into all ATS22 soft starters.

Motor

In 3-wire control
On power-up or a manual trip reset or after a stop command, or a change of assignment, the motor can only be powered once the START
input has been opened (state 0) followed by a new pulse (state 1).
When switching from remote command to local command, with Run order present on the terminal control, the motor doesnt start in 3-wire

Preliminary recommendations

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
The designer of any control scheme must
- consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical control functions,
- provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure.
Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop.
Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of unanticipated
transmission delays or failures of the link. (1)
Each implementation of an ATS22 soft starter must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed
into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
(1) For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance
of Solid State Control.
When changing the factory configuration, record your parameter settings in the Parameter Index and Modbus addresses table, starting
page 77.

Menu structure
Two menu levels are provided.

"Easy start up" level - factory setting


Access to basic parameters which define the characteristics of the application to manage: acceleration ramp, boost level.

"Advanced level"
Access to dedicated parameters which define the characteristics of the motor protections, interface, communication,
This selection will add some menus and, in the particular case of Monitoring menu, it will add some parameters.

Menu selection: "Easy start up" level or "Advanced" level


1. Scroll up or down using the forward and backward keys until you reach conF menu and press the ENT key. This enters Configuration
menu.
2. Scroll up or down using the forward and backward keys until you reach LAC setting in conF menu and press the ENT key.
3. Select the desired parameter (oFF for the easy start up level or On for the advanced level) then press the ENT key. Repeat for each
level of submenus and parameters until you reach the desired parameter and value.
4. Press the ENT key to save the value.
Note: A parameter value becomes valid and takes effect immediately upon changing its value. If ESC is pressed, the value previously stored
in the EEPROM is restored.

Command channel

Command channel: local or remote command


A command channel gives the possibility to command the motor by the soft starter (start, stop).
it can also read or write parameters.
In local command mode, the Altistart 22 can be set from the display terminal:
Use the 4 keys to enter into the menu.
In remote command, the Altistart 22 soft starter can be set from the remote keypad:
The remote keypad can be used in a similar way than the embedded keypad, it means that the HMI on the remote keypad has the
same behavior as the HMI on the product.
Note: Some command channels can also read or write parameters.

In this example, LI3 is configured to forced local command (LIL).


If CtrL = Modbus + forced local: its forced local in first.
LOCAL mode: The soft starter is entirely controlled via the terminals. The parameters can be read and written via Modbus. The soft starter
remains in LOCAL mode as long as the CtrL = 0.
FORCED LOCAL mode: The soft starter is entirely controlled via the terminals. Write access to the parameters from the Modbus link is
prohibited. Reading is possible.
Note: LI1 must be activated (LI1 = 1) to allow the remote command.
A switch can be used on LI1 if a local stop by the terminal is needed. In this case, the stop will be in freewheel.

CtrL parameter is a configuration parameter that can be modified when the motor is stopped.
In the IO menu (Advanced IO), a Logic input can be assigned to local command: :
Code

Name

Value

LI2
or LI3

Logic input 2
or logic input 3

LIL: Forced Local command

The local remote input is active at level 1.


When the input local remote is active, the active command channel is the local channel.
When the local force function is active from a Logic input, the parameters can only be written by the local HMI or the external keypad. If
written by Modbus function 6 or 16, the exception 1 bad function is sent back.
When the local force function is active, Modbus command word and parameters can be written also by Modbus.
The Logic input assign to "Forced local command" has the priority on bit 15 from Modbus command word. If LI3 is assigned to LIL and
LI3=1, even if bit 15=1 the "Forced local command" is active.
When CTRL = Modbus and LI force local command activated, then a Modbus request 6 or 16 sends back an exception code 1 illegal
function.
When on Modbus, only LI1 stop is taken into account.

Modbus Function

This section describes the connection to the bus or network, signaling, diagnostics, and configuration of the communication-specific
parameters via the 7-segment LED display.
It also describes the communication services of the Modbus protocol.

Modbus Protocol
The transmission mode used is RTU mode. The frame contains no message header byte, nor end of message bytes.
It is defined as follows:
Slave
address

Request code

Data

CRC16

The data is transmitted in binary code.


CRC16: cyclical redundancy check.
The end of the frame is detected on a silence greater than or equal to 3 characters.

Principle
The Modbus protocol is a master-slave protocol.
Master

Only one device can transmit on the line at any time.


The master manages the exchanges and only it can take
the initiative.
It interrogates each of the slaves in succession.
No slave can send a message unless it is invited to do so.
The master repeats the question when there is an incorrect
exchange, and declares the interrogated slave absent if no
response is received within a given time period.
If a slave does not understand a message, it sends an
exception response to the master. The master may or may
not repeat the request.

Slave i
Slave j
Direct slave-to-slave communications are not possible.

Slave k

For slave-to-slave communication, the application software must therefore be designed to interrogate a slave and send back data received
to the other slave.
Two types of dialogue are possible between master and slaves:
the master sends a request to a slave and waits for its response
the master sends a request to all slaves without waiting for a response (broadcasting principle)

Addresses
The soft starter Modbus address can be configured from 1 to 247.
Address 0 coded in a request sent by the master is reserved for broadcasting. ATS22 take account of the request, but do not respond to it.

Response code: request function code + 16#80.


Error code:
1 = The function requested is not recognized by the slave
2 = The bit or word addresses indicated in the request do not exist in the slave
3 = The bit or word values indicated in the request are not permissible in the slave
4 = The slave has started to execute the request but cannot continue to process it completely

CRC16 calculation
The CRC16 is calculated on all the message bytes by applying the following method:
Initialize the CRC (16-bit register) to 16#FFFF.
Enter the first to the last byte of the message:
CRC

XOR

Enter

8 times

<byte> > CRC

Move the CRC one bit to the right


If the output bit = 1, enter CRC XOR 16#A001> CRC
End enter
End enter
The CRC obtained will be transmitted with the low order bytes sent first, followed by the high order ones (unlike the other data contained in
Modbus frames).
XOR = exclusive OR.
