Bypass connection, single direction of rota-
tion
Caution!
The DS4-...-MX(R) devices have built-in bypass
contacts. The examples below therefore apply
only for DS4-...-M. If an external bypass for
devices with reversing function (DS4-...-MR) is to
be fitted, you must include an additional bypass
contactor is required the second direction of
rotation as well as additional interlocks to prevent
a short-circuit through the bypass contactors.
The bypass connection allows a direct connection
of the motor to the mains to suppress heat
dissipation through the soft starter. The bypass
contactor is actuated once the soft starter has
completed the acceleration phase (i.e. once mains
voltage is reached). By default, the Top-of-Ramp
function is mapped to relay 13/14. The soft starter
controls the bypass contactor so that no further
user action is required. Because the bypass
contactor is switched only at zero current and
does not, therefore, have to switch the motor
load, an AC1 layout can be used. Suitable bypass
contactors are listed in appendix “Technical
data”.
If an Emergency-Stop requires an immediate
disconnection of the voltage, the bypass may have
to switch under AC3 conditions (for example if the
Enable signal is removed with a command or the
soft stop ramp time is 0). In this case, the circuit
must be laid out so that either a higher-priority
isolating element trips first or the bypass must be
laid out to AC3.
