The exact placement of a zero-sequence CT to detect only ground fault current is shown
below. If the core balance CT is placed over shielded cable, capacitive coupling of phase
current into the cable shield during motor starts may be detected as ground current unless
the shield wire is also passed through the CT window. Twisted-pair cabling on the zero-
sequence CT is recommended.

Thermistor connections
Either a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) or negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
thermistor may be directly connected to the thermistor + and - terminals in slot C. By
specifying the hot and cold thermistor resistance, the MM200 automatically determines
the thermistor type as NTC or PTC. Use thermistors with hot and cold resistance values in
the range 100 to 30000 ohms. If no thermistor is connected, the Thermistor Alarm and
Thermistor Trip settings must be set to “Disabled”.

COMMON DEVICE
888745A1.CDR
One two-wire RS485 port is provided. Up to 32 MM200 IEDs can be daisy-chained together
on a communication channel without exceeding the driver capability. For larger systems,
additional serial channels must be added. Commercially available repeaters can also be
used to add more than 32 relays on a single channel. Suitable cable should have a
characteristic impedance of 120 ohms and total wire length should not exceed 1200
meters (4000 ft.). Commercially available repeaters will allow for transmission distances
greater than 1200 meters.
Voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link are not uncommon.
For this reason, surge protection devices are internally installed across all RS485 terminals.
Internally, an isolated power supply with an optocoupled data interface is used to prevent
noise coupling.
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-chain are at the same potential, it is imperative
CAUTION:
that the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded only
once, at the master or at the MM200. Failure to do so may result in intermittent or
failed communications.
The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices
installed, either internally or externally. Ground the shield at one point only, as shown in
the figure above, to avoid ground loops.
Correct polarity is also essential. The MM200 IEDs must be wired with all the positive (+)
terminals connected together and all the negative (–) terminals connected together. Each
relay must be daisy-chained to the next one. Avoid star or stub connected configurations.
The last device at each end of the daisy-chain should be terminated with a 120 ohm
¼ watt resistor in series with a 1 nF capacitor across the positive and negative terminals.
Observing these guidelines will ensure a reliable communication system immune to
system transients.
The uncovered communications cable shield connected to the common terminal should
not exceed 1” (2.5 cm) for proper EMC shielding of the communications cable.

The MM200 has three channels for phase current inputs, each with an isolating
transformer. The phase CTs should be chosen so the FLA is not less than 50% of the rated
phase CT primary. Ideally, the phase CT primary should be chosen such that the FLA is
100% of the phase CT primary or slightly less, never more. This will ensure maximum
accuracy for the current measurements. The maximum phase CT primary current is
1000 A.
The MM200 measures up to 8 times the phase current nominal rating. CTs with 1 A or 5 A
secondaries must be used if the FLA is greater than 5 A. The chosen CTs must be capable
of driving the MM200 phase CT burden.
Polarity of the phase CTs is critical for unbalance calculation.

The proper configuration for the use of two CTs rather than three to detect phase current is
shown. Each of the two CTs acts as a current source. The current that comes out of the CT
on phase A flows into the interposing CT on the relay marked CT1. From there, the current
sums with the current that is flowing from the CT on phase C which has just passed
through the interposing CT on the relay marked CT3. This summed current flows through
the interposing CT marked CT2 and from there, the current splits up to return to its
respective source (CT).
Polarity is very important since the value of phase B must be the negative equivalent of
A + C in order for the sum of all the vectors to equate to zero.
Only one ground connection should be made as shown. If two ground connections are
made, a parallel path for current has been created.
In the two CT configuration, the currents will sum vectorially at the common point of the
two CTs. The diagram illustrates the two possible configurations. If one phase is reading
high by a factor of 1.73 on a system that is known to be balanced, simply reverse the
polarity of the leads at one of the two phase CTs (taking care that the CTs are still tied to
ground at some point). Polarity is important.
Change CT wiring only if the system is de-energized!

To illustrate the point further, the following diagram shows how the current in phases A

888716A1.CDR
Once again, if the polarity of one of the phases is out by 180°, the magnitude of the
resulting vector on a balanced system will be out by a factor of 1.73.
On a three-wire supply, this configuration will always work and unbalance will be detected
properly. In the event of a single phase, there will always be a large unbalance present at
the interposing CTs of the relay. If for example phase A was lost, phase A would read zero
while phase B and C would both read the magnitude of phase C. If on the other hand,
phase B was lost, at the supply, phase A would be 180° out-of-phase with phase C and the
vector addition would equal zero at phase B.

and seven digital inputs.
Contact inputs can be programmed to any of the input functions, such as field stop. The
exception is that contactor A status is fixed as the first contact input, and contactor B
status (where used) is fixed as the second contact input.
The three contact outputs can be programmed to follow any one of the digital signals
developed by the MM200, such as alarms and status signals. The exception is that the
contactor A relay is fixed as the first contact output, and contactor B relay is fixed as the
second contact output (where used).

It may be required to test a complete motor starter for dielectric strength (“flash” or “HI-
POT”) with the MM200 installed. The MM200 is rated for 1.9 kV AC for 1 second, or 1.6 kV AC
for 1 minute (per UL 508) isolation between relay contacts, CT inputs, VT inputs and the
surge ground terminal SG. Some precautions are required to prevent damage to the
MM200 during these tests.
The CT inputs, control power, and output relays do not require any special precautions.
Low voltage inputs (less than 30 volts), RTDs, and RS485 communication ports are not to be
tested for dielectric strength under any circumstance (see above).

When a start control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up for the set pre-
contactor time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, relay contact output 1 closes and
seals-in, picking up contactor M, which starts the motor. When a stop control is received,
relay contact output 1 drops out, contactor M drops out, and the motor stops. The pre-
contactor is omitted on forced starts (for example, External Start).

The full-voltage reversing starter type is a full voltage or across-the-line reversing starter.
When a start A (forward) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up for
the set pre-contactor time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, relay1 picks up and
seals-in, picking up contactor F, which starts the motor in the forward direction. When a
start B (reverse) control is received, relay1 drops out, and contactor F drops out. When the
contactor F Off status is received, the starter waits for the set transfer time to allow the
motor to slow or stop. When the transfer time timer times out, relay2 picks up and seals-in,
picking up contactor R, which starts the motor in the reverse direction. When a stop control
is received, relays 1 and 2 drop out, contactor F and R drop out, and the motor stops. The
starter logic is fully symmetrical between forward and reverse.
When a contact input has its function set to forward limit, and that contact closes, relay1
will drop out, stopping any forward rotation. When a contact input has its function set to
reverse limit, and that contact closes, relay2 will drop out, stopping any reverse rotation.
The pre-contactor is omitted on forced starts (for example, External Start). Forced starts are
not supervised by this starter transfer timer – any external starting circuit must itself
respect fast direction change restrictions.

When a start A (low speed) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up
for the set pre-contactor time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, relay1 picks up
and seals-in, picking up contactor L, which starts the motor in low speed. When a start B
(high speed) control is received, the relay1 drops out, and contactor L drops out. When
contactor L Off status is received, the relay2 picks up and seals-in, picking up contactor H,
which starts the motor in high speed. Should a start A (low speed) control be received when
relay2 is picked up, relay2 is drops out, and contactor H drops out. When contactor H Off
status is received, the starter waits for the set transfer time to allow the motor to slow.
When the transfer time timer times out, the relay1 picks up and seals-in, picking up
contactor L, which starts the motor in low speed. When a stop control is received, the
relays 1 and 2 drop out, contactors L and H drop out, and the motor stops. If the HIGH
SPEED START BLOCK setting is “Enabled”, this starter will not allow a start B (high speed)
control unless already running at low speed.
The pre-contactor is omitted on forced starts (for example, External Start). Forced starts are
not supervised by this starter transfer timer – any external starting circuit must itself
respect high to low speed transition restrictions and starting in high speed restrictions.
General Maintenance
The MM200 requires minimal maintenance. As a microprocessor-based relay, its
characteristics do not change over time. The expected service life of an MM200 is 20 years
when the environment and electrical conditions are within stated specifications.
While the MM200 performs continual self-tests, it is recommended that maintenance be
scheduled with other system maintenance. This maintenance can involve in-service, out-
of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
In-service maintenance
1. Visual verification of the analog values integrity, such as voltage and current (in
comparison to other devices on the corresponding system).
2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
Out-of-service maintenance
1. Check wiring connections for firmness.
2. Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering
accuracy verification. Calibrated test equipment is required.
3. Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification
of setting file entries against relay settings schedule).
4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change
of state forcing or as part of the system functional testing.
5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
To avoid deterioration of electrolytic capacitors, power up units that are stored in a de-

NOTE:
888750A1.CDR
Graphical display Each display page consists of the three components shown below.
The header bar (white text on a blue background) displays the hierarchical path name, the
date and time in 24-hour format, and the current password access level. The hierarchical
path is always displayed on the left top side of the graphical display. The present time is
displayed on the right top side. If the test switch is on, the time is replaced with the text
TEST MODE in red.
The soft-key labels are indicated on the bottom line. The soft-keys are used for navigation,
performing functions, and for acknowledgement.
• Navigation: soft-keys can be used to traverse across and down the hierarchy of
pages.
• Functional: soft-keys can be used to perform page-specific functions.
• Acknowledgement: soft keys can be used to acknowledge popup windows.
Soft-keys labels change to show relevant selections for the displayed screen. The color of
each soft-key label indicates its functionality. Soft-keys are highlighted for the displayed
page, unauthorized keys are “greyed-out”, and unused keys are not displayed.
The remainder of the screen shows the selected page. Pages are organized in a
hierarchical or tree-based menu structure. To improve readability, some pages are labeled
with rectangular outlines or colored backgrounds. Some pages contain too many fields to
display at once. These pages display arrows bars at the right edge to indicate that the
page continues below the screen. When recalled, scrolled pages are re-positioned at the
top of the page.
Fields display actual value or setting information, and have behaviours that allow help
display, editing, and control.
Each Actual Value analog field displayed on the home page has an associated alarm limit
and changes color to orange when that limit is exceeded. Fields with an associated trip
limit change their color to red when that limit has tripped. Fields that are disabled or
unavailable are greyed-out.
Keypad The function keys perform the labeled functionality. The summary of function key
operation is shown below.
Table 3-1: Summary of function key operations
Key Operation
HOME Single press recalls the home page; double press recalls the default display
UP Scroll up page, select field, tab to next field, increment value
DOWN Scroll down page, select field, tab to previous field, decrement value
ESC Single press closes pop-up, cancels editing, deselects field, moves to previous page;
sustained press logs out (cancels security passcode entry)
ENTER Single press freezes scrolling and selects field, edits selected field, saves edited value;
double press sets the selected field/page as default; sustained press logs in (enter
security passcode)
HELP Displays context sensitive help and Modbus address
The HOME key always recalls the root or home page. The home page allows access to all
sub-pages and also contains a status and process values summary. Double pressing the
HOME key recalls the default display. Like a screen-saver, the default display appears after
a period of inactivity and displays user-selected information. A typical default display is
shown below, indicating a running motor in the forward direction.
Figure 3-4: Typical default display (actual size)
The UP and DOWN keys function in different ways depending on their context.
• Where a scroll bar is displayed, the UP and DOWN keys scroll the page up and down.
• Where there is no scroll bar or it is greyed-out, the first press of the UP and DOWN
keys selects the first field. Subsequent presses tab up and down through the fields,
scrolling as required.
• When a field is open for editing, the UP and DOWN keys increment/decrement the
value of that field.
The ENTER key functions in different ways depending on its context.
• If there are no selected fields, the ENTER key will freeze any scroll bars and select the
first field on the display.
• If a field is selected, pressing ENTER will attempt to open it for editing.
• If a field is opened for editing, pressing enter will exit the edit sequence.
• Double pressing the ENTER key at any time selects the displayed page as the default
display.
• A sustained press on ENTER prompts the security passcode and displays a dialog box
that allows passcode entry.
For example, pressing and holding the ENTER key, or attempting a control where a
password is required, displays the following page.
Pressing an invalid key displays a message explaining the problem and recommending a
solution. Where the keypress is invalid because a security passcode is required, the dialog
window will be a passcode entry window.
When a lockout occurs that clears when a count-down timer expires or when the thermal
capacity recovers for a restart, the Status > Message page is displayed indicating timer
value or thermal capacity.
Control keys The MM200 has three large direct control keys: START A, START B, and STOP.
• STOP: The STOP key allows the user to stop the motor directly from the MM200
faceplate interface. Pressing this key causes the contactor A and contactor B output
relays to de-energize, therefore dropping out the motor contactor.
• START A and START B: Pressing these keys initiates the programmed start sequence.
The START A and START B keys are used to start the motor from the MM200 faceplate
(if MCC control is enabled). The start A and start B sequences can also be initiated via
communications, field control, or hardwired input.

Home display page The home page represents the root of the entire menu structure. An overview of the
system status is displayed which includes the following items.
• Locked out, tripped, blocked, stopped, pre-contactor, starting, running status, and
inhibit.
• Motor load, thermal capacity used, and power.
• Estimated time to trip (if motor is loaded above its service factor).
• The longest current timeout from any of the pre-contactor time, time to overload, time
to reset, starts/hour block, time between starts, transfer time, undervoltage restart
time, and restart block timers.
• Temperature of the hottest stator RTD (if there is an RTD and the two previous items
are not applicable).
Figure 3-8: Typical MM200 home display
The Values, Status, Setpoints, Diag, and Control soft-keys are displayed on the home
page. The Status soft-key will be highlighted red if any trip conditions are active, orange if
relay is not tripped and any alarm conditions are present. Otherwise it will be grey. If the
’tripped LED flasher’ setpoint is set to ’ON’, the softkey will flash red if there is a trip or
lockout.
Pressing any of the soft-keys displays the first sub-page in the hierarchy. Pressing the ESC
key within any of these sub-pages returns directly to the home page.
Default display The default display is automatically shown when no control key has been pressed for five
minutes. It can also be recalled at any time by double-clicking the HOME key.
The default display can be set to the home page, any actual values page, or any status
page. A page can be set to be the default display by navigating to that page and double-
pressing the ENTER key. The default display setting is saved in non-volatile memory.
If a page is set as the default display, the soft-keys will be those of the selected page.
Actual values pages The actual values pages are divided into three sections for the MM200.
• Summary (overview of primary actual values)
• Amps (metered current values)
• Sensor (metered temperature and thermistor values)
The actual values summary page displays a summary of the analog actual values. The
current and sensor actual values pages are accessible from the summary page through
the corresponding soft-keys at the bottom of the screen.
Some typical actual values screens are shown below.
Figure 3-9: Typical actual values current page
Status pages The status pages shown provide the user with up-to-date information on the current status
of the MM200.
Status pages are divided into four sections.
• Message (displays all locked out conditions plus conditions such as alarms, internal
faults, control status, etc.).
• Inputs (displays the present state of assigned contact inputs).
• Outputs (displays the present state of assigned contact outputs).
• System (displays the present state of the communications interface).
A typical display is shown below:
Figure 3-10: Typical status message page
Message types are classified by color and associated icon type, as follows::
• Red Triangle = Trip
• Orange Square = Alarm
• Blue Circle = Inhibit
Setpoints pages The setpoints pages are divided into five sections.
• Config (contains basic configuration setpoints)
• Protection (contains the protection setpoints)
• Control (contains the control setpoints)
• Security (contains the password security setpoints)
• Factory (contains settings used by GE Multilin personnel for testing and calibration
purposes.)
The Home > Setpoints page displays a warning message concerning unexpected
performance if setpoints are improperly changed. It is recommended that all relay outputs
capable of causing damage or harm be blocked before a setpoints change is made and it
is clear the relay is performing as intended with the new setpoints.
Figure 3-11: Setpoints home page
To streamline the setpoint entry process, the MM200 will not display setpoints that are not
relevant at the specific instance. For instance, if a process interlock function is disabled, the
six setpoints associated with that interlock function will not be displayed. If all ten process
interlock functions are disabled, the MM200 will display only 10 successive “Disabled” list
items. If one of the interlock functions were then enabled, then room is made on the
display for the six setpoints which are now functional.
The setpoint pages are in a common format of twelve rows and two columns displaying
setpoint name, value, and units.
The Home > Setpoints > Config > Motor page is shown below.
Figure 3-12: Typical setpoints page, motor setpoints
Diagnostics pages The diagnostic pages are divided into three sections.
• Counters (accumulated system counter data)
• Info (product information)
• Learned (learned values based upon metered data)
Control page This page is used to view the active control mode and switch between Auto/Manual if the
softkeys are enabled.
Figure 3-13: Typical control page display
Refer to the Control Elements section for details on control page functionality.
Invalid operation popups explain the problem and provide direction on how to rectify it.
This may also include invalid features or uninstalled options (for example, accessing the
undervoltage restart page when undervoltage restart option is not ordered). Where a
keypress is illegal because a security passcode is required, the popup is a passcode entry
dialog box.
Figure 3-15: Typical invalid operation popup window
Help and illegal action popup windows remain open until they are acknowledged by
clicking any soft or hard key, or until a pre-determined period of inactivity has passed.
Enumeration Enumeration settings select from a limited set of values (for example, enabled or disabled).

Numeric setpoints Numeric setpoints accept a numerical value within a specific range. The numeric setpoint
editor is a numeric input panel, with the current value shown on the number display. The
minimum, maximum, step, and default values are shown on the left of the keypad, and the
label of the setpoint being edited is displayed on the menu bar of the setpoint editor.
Figure 3-17: Numeric setpoint editor window
The navigational soft keys change the numeric key in focus, which is highlighted in orange.
There are also five functional soft-buttons in the popup window.
• BkSpc: This key performs the backspace function, clearing the last digit or decimal
from the display.
• CLR: This key clears the field’s value from the display
• Default: This key returns the setpoint value to its default value.
• OFF: This key disables the setpoint and is visible only for setpoints that can be
disabled.
In order to activate the functions offered by these buttons, the user has to highlight the
appropriate button and press Select.
The UP and DOWN front panel keys can also be used to increment and decrement the
setpoint by its step value. Clicking the ENTER key verifies the displayed value. If the
setpoint value is valid, it is stored as the new setpoint value and the editor is closed.
Otherwise, an error statement is displayed and the Default soft-button is brought to focus.
Clicking HOME before the value is stored cancels the edit sequence and recalls the home
page.
The following procedure describes how to edit a numeric setting.
1. Use the navigation keys to select the relevant setting page.
2. Use the navigation keys to select the relevant setting field.
3. Press the ENTER key to open the numeric setpoint editor.
4. Use the navigational soft-keys to highlight the first digit of the new setpoint value.
5. Press the Select soft-key to select the highlighted digit.
6. Use the navigational soft-keys to highlight the next digit, then press Select.
7. When the new value has been fully entered, press the ENTER key to store the value
and close the window.
Alphanumeric Alphanumeric setpoints accept any alphanumeric value of a specified size and are
setpoints generally used for labeling and identification purposes. When an alphanumeric setpoint is
selected, the graphical display panel opens an alphanumeric setpoint editor window.
Figure 3-18: Alphanumeric setpoint editor
A flashing underline marks the current character. The “<” and “>” soft-keys shift the cursor
left and right. When the cursor is at the extreme right hand side of the field and the field
has not reached its maximum length of string input, the “>” key shifts the cursor to the
right and sets the selected character to the space character. Up to 20 characters can be
stored for alphanumeric setpoints. A long click of the “<” and “>” soft keys move the cursor
to the first or last character in the string.
The up and down soft-keys increment and decrement the selected character through the
character set. A long click of the up or down soft-keys sets the selected character to “a”
and “Z”, respectively. The shift soft-key toggles the case of the character set. Pressing
ENTER stores the selected value, while pressing ESC cancels the editing sequence and
closes the popup editor.
The following procedure describes how to edit an alphanumeric setting.
1. Use the soft-keys to select the relevant setting page.
2. Use the arrow soft-keys to select the relevant alphanumeric setpoint field.
3. Press the ENTER key to open the alphanumeric setpoint editor.
4. The first character of the alphanumeric setting value will be marked with a flashing
cursor (underline).
5. Use the up, down, left, right, shift, and space soft-keys to change the indicated
character.
6. Use the left and right arrow soft-keys to select and change more characters.
7. Press the ENTER key when complete to exit the edit sequence. The changes are
automatically saved.
Date and time The entry process for date and time follows the same convention as numeric setpoints,
where the day, month, year, hour, minute and second are entered as separate fields. Input
verification is performed for all fields of the setpoint when the ENTER key is pressed. As
these are standard formats, the minimum, maximum and step value displays are removed.
A format string of DD/MM/YYYY or HH:MM:SS is included as a part of the setpoint label for
reference when entering a new value.
Security access There are three levels of security access allowing write access to setpoints, lockout reset,
and firmware download. When there are no pop-ups present, a sustained press on the ESC
key clears the security passcode. When operations are performed that require a higher
level of security, a passcode entry dialog box automatically opens (for example, in
entering factory page at read only security access).

your PC. After the firmware has been upgraded, it will be necessary to load this file back
NOTE into the MM200 relay. Refer to Backing up Settings for details on saving relay setpoints to a
file.
Loading new relay Loading new firmware into the MM200 flash memory is accomplished as follows:
firmware 1. Connect the RJ45 port on the relay (labelled "RS485 to Control Panel") to the RS232
port (COM1) on the local PC, using an RS232 (female)-to-RJ45 (male) custom cable (p/n
0804-0180).
If there is no RS232 port on your PC:
1.1. If you are using the MM200 Graphical Control Panel (GCP) or Hand Held
Device (HHD), connect the USB port on the front of the MM200 relay, to the USB
port on the local PC, using a USB 2.0 type A to mini B cable. This configuration
(1) is shown below.
1.2. If you are using the Basic Control Panel (BCP), and your PC has an RS232 port,
disconnect the existing RJ45 cable from the side of the base unit (labelled
"RS485 to Control Panel"), and connect an RS232-to-RJ45 cable from the PC to
that same RJ45 port on the side of the base unit. This configuration (2) is shown
below.
1.3. If you are using no control panel, and your PC has an RS232 port, connect an
RS232-to-RJ45 cable from the PC to the RJ45 port on the side of the base unit
(labelled "RS485 to Control Panel"). This configuration (2) is shown below.
Note 1: If your PC does not have an RS232 port, you will have to use a USB-to-serial
converter cable (p/n 0100-0001), available at the GE Online Store (http://
www.gegridsolutions.com). This configuration (3) is shown below.

2. Click Windows Start Button > Control Panel > System > Hardware tab. Then click
Device Manager. Once your physical connections are complete and you have
determined which COM PORT you will be using, start your MM300/MM200 EnerVista
Setup Program.
3. Save the setpoints to a file as shown in Downloading and Saving Setpoints Files.
6. EnerVista MM300/MM200 Setup software now prepares the MM200 to receive the
new firmware file.
7. While the file is being loaded into the MM200 a status box appears showing how
much of the new firmware file has been transferred and the upgrade status. The
entire transfer process takes approximately 10 minutes.
8. The EnerVista MM300/MM200 Setup software will notify the user when the
MM200 has finished loading the file. Carefully read any displayed messages and click
OK to return the main screen. Cycling power to the relay is recommended after a
firmware upgrade.
After successfully updating the MM200 firmware, the relay will not be operational and will
require setpoint programming. To communicate with the relay, the communication
settings may have to be manually reprogrammed.
When communications are established, the saved setpoints must be reloaded back into
the relay. See Loading Setpoints from a File for details.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding
data items (i.e. default values, min/max values, data type, and item size) may change
slightly from version to version of the firmware. Addresses are rearranged when new
features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.

Setpoints
Understanding setpoints
Setpoints can be modified via RS485, using the EnerVista MM200 Setup program.
Setpoints may be changed while the motor is running; however it is not recommended
CAUTION:
Setpoints will remain stored indefinitely in the internal non-volatile memory even when
control power to the unit is removed. Protection parameters are based on the entered
data. This data must be complete and accurate for the given system for reliable protection
and operation of the motor.
Configuration setpoints
The configuration setpoints contains data on motor configuration as well as system setup,
inputs, outputs, communications, and CTs.
• Motor (setpoints related to motor configuration).
• CT (setpoints related to CT configuration).
• Inputs (setpoints related to digital input configuration)
• Outputs (setpoints related to digital output configuration)
• Comms (setpoints related to communications configuration)
• System (setpoints related to MM200 system configuration, such as the faceplate
LEDs)
• Counters (setpoints related to the digital counters)
Motor setpoints
The MM200 starter function is responsible for executing the motor startup sequence,
including the pre-contactor start warning. The MM200 provides three pre-defined starters.
• Full-voltage non-reversing
• Full-voltage reversing
• Two-speed
By selecting a pre-defined starter, inputs and outputs are automatically assigned.
NOTE:

Full-voltage non- If the Starter Type setpoint is programmed to “FV Non-Reversing”, the pre-contactor relay
reversing starter (if any) is picked up for the set Pre-Contactor Time when a start control is received. When
the pre-contactor timer times out, the contactor A relay contact output picks up and seals-
in, starting the motor. When a stop control is received, contactor A relay contact output is
dropped out and the motor stops.
The following figure illustrates typical starter timing beginning from the stopped state.

The following additional setpoint is available for the full-voltage non-reversing starter.
Pre-Contactor Time
Range: 0 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 0 seconds
This setpoint represents the time after a start command before the motor is started. An
audible or other warning signal can be activated in this interval by connecting the signal
to a contact output set to the pre-contactor function.
Full-voltage reversing The full-voltage reversing starter type is a full-voltage or across-the-line reversing starter.
starter When a start A (forward) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up for
the set Pre-Contactor Time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, the contactor A relay
picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in the forward direction. When a start B (reverse)
control is received, the A contactor is dropped out. When contactor A status off is received,
the starter waits for the set Transfer Time to allow the motor to slow or stop. When the
transfer time timer times out, the contactor B relay picks up and seals-in, starting the
motor in the reverse direction. When a stop control is received, the contactor A and B
relays are dropped out and the motor stops. The starter logic is fully symmetrical between
forward and reverse.
When a contact input has its function set to “Forward Limit”, and that contact closes, the
contactor A relay will drop out. When a contact input has its function set to “Reverse Limit”,
and that contact closes, the contactor B relay will drop out.

audible or other warning signal can be activated in this interval by connecting the signal
to a contact output set to the pre-contactor function.
Transfer Time
Range: 0 to 125 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 second
This setpoint represents the time between stopping and starting in a new direction for
the reversing starter.
Two-speed starter The “Two Speed” starter type is a full-voltage or across-the-line two speed starter.
When a start A (low speed) control is received, the pre-contactor relay (if any) is picked up
for the set Pre-Contactor Time. When the pre-contactor timer times out, the contactor A
relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in low speed. When a start B (high speed)
control is received, the A contactor is dropped out. When contactor A status Off is received,
the contactor B relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in high speed. Should a start
A (low speed) control be received when the high speed contactor B is picked up, contactor
B is dropped out. When contactor B status Off is received, the starter waits for the set
Transfer Time to allow the motor to slow. When the transfer time timer times out, the
contactor A relay picks up and seals-in, starting the motor in low speed. When a stop
control is received, the contactor A and B relays are dropped out and the motor stops.
If the High Speed Start Block setpoint is “Enabled”, this starter will not allow a start B (high
speed) control unless already running on contactor A (low speed).
Forced starts are not supervised by this starter transfer timer – any external starting circuit
must itself respect high to low speed transition restrictions and starting in high speed
restrictions.

The following setpoints are available to configure the current and voltage transformers.
Phase CT Type (Mandatory setpoint)
Range: None, 1 A Secondary, 5 A Secondary, Direct Connect
Default: Direct Connect
This setpoint specifies the phase CT connection type. The “Direct Connect” value
indicates that no phase CTs are used; instead, motor phase current passes directly
through the relay. The “Direct Connect” selection should never be used where full load
current is greater than 5.0 amps.

greater than twice than the high speed full load current.
This setpoint is displayed only if the phase CT is selected as 1 A secondary or 5 A
NOTE:
Inputs
The MM200 digital (contact) inputs are programmed in this menu.
Inputs are automatically assigned based on typical wiring diagrams, shown in chapter 2,
NOTE:
– “MCC Permissive”: This value represents an open contact that disables MCC
control. Used by the auto/manual control element.
– “Remote Reset”: This value represents a contact input used to resets non-lockout
trips and alarms.
– “Reverse Limit”: This value represents a contact which opens at the reverse travel
limit. Used by the reversing starter type.
– “Test Switch”: This value represents a contact input used to suspend collection of
selected data items, override auto/manual modes, and cause interlocks to be
ignored.
– “Power Failure Input”: This value represents a contact input used to detect an
undervoltage which is detected by a digital input associated externally with an
External Voltage Relay and then starts the Power Failure Restart function.
– “Power Failure Restart Inhibit Input”: This value represents a contact input used to
inhibit the Power Failure Restart function.
When a Lockout Reset is used to reset a Thermal Overload, the Thermal Capacity % will be
NOTE:
reset to zero.
NOTE
Outputs
Contact outputs are designated by their card slot letter appended with their card terminal
number. Contact outputs, which have two or three terminals, use the first of their terminal
numbers on the GCP. This is the same scheme as is used to form the relay terminal
designation.
When a starter type is selected, the first equipped contact output and the first equipped
contact input are forced to the contactor A relay function and the contactor A status
function, respectively. When the two-speed or reversing starter type is selected, the
second equipped contact output and the second equipped contact input are forced to the
contactor B relay function and the contactor B status function, respectively. Any prior
values for these setpoints are erased, and the setpoint becomes non-editable.

NOTE:
System
System security Hardware and passcode security features are designed to restrict user access. This can
deter inappropriate employee action and curtail errors. Security against hackers or others
with malicious intent should be provided by other means. Security for the external hard-
wired and field controls should also be externally provided as required.
Three security levels above the default level are recognized. Each security level can also be
set for passcode access. The passcode is programmed as a five-digit number, using only
digits 1 through 5. The security access levels are:
• Default - start/stop control, auto/manual selection, and reset trips
• Level 1 - default privileges plus setpoint access
• Level 2 - level 1 privileges plus lockout reset and reset counters
• Level 3 - level 2 privileges plus factory page.
Passcodes are automatically canceled after five minutes of inactivity. Communications
passcode access can be cancelled by writing zero to the passcode register.
The following system security setpoints are programmed in the security page.
Passcode Level 1, Passcode Level 2, Passcode Level 3
Range: any five-digit number using digits 1 through 5 only or Disabled
Default value: 11111 (level 1), 22222 (level 2)
Access is granted if a passcode has been correctly entered matching the value of this
setpoint.
Access Switch Level
Range: 1, 2, 3
Default value: 1
Sets the access level provided by the access switch being closed. The contact input for
the access switch is configured on the contact inputs page.
Comms security
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Disabled
Sets whether the security feature applies to the communications ports.
System trouble For relay self-test, the MM200 runs a series of self-tests, including data and program
memory integrity and program execution watchdogs. If any of these tests fail, a self-test
trip or alarm is generated depending on the value of the Self Test Action setpoint.
The following setpoints are available for the system trouble element.
Self-Test Action
Range: Trip, Alarm
Default: Trip
This setpoint defines whether a self-test failure will cause a trip or an alarm.

Protection elements
Thermal protection
The primary protective function of the MM200 is the thermal model. The MM200 integrates
stator and rotor heating into a single model. The rate of motor heating is gauged by
measuring the terminal currents. The present value of the accumulated motor heating is
maintained in the Thermal Capacity Used actual value register. When the motor is in
overload, the motor temperature and thermal capacity used will rise. A trip occurs when
the thermal capacity used reaches 100%. When the motor is stopped and is cooling to
ambient, the thermal capacity used decays to zero. If the motor is running normally, the
motor temperature will eventually stabilize at some steady state temperature, and the
thermal capacity used increases or decreases to some corresponding intermediate value,
which accounts for the reduced amount of thermal capacity left to accommodate
transient overloads.
The thermal model consists of four key elements.
• Hot/cold biasing that accounts for normal temperature rise.
• An overload curve that accounts for the rapid heating that occurs during stall,
acceleration, and overload.
• Cooling rate that accounts for heat dissipation.
• Thermal protection reset that controls recovery from thermal trips and lockouts.
Each of these categories are described in the following sub-sections.
Hot/cold biasing When the motor is running with a constant load below the overload level, the motor will
eventually reach a steady state temperature, which corresponds to a particular steady-
state thermal capacity used. As some thermal capacity is used, there is less thermal
capacity left in the motor to cover transient overloads than is available when the motor is
cold. Typically, the extent of this effect is calculated by taking the ratio of the motor's rated
hot safe stall time to its rated cold safe stall time. The safe stall time (also known as locked
rotor time) is the time taken with the rotor not turning for the motor to heat to a
temperature beyond which motor damage occurs at an unacceptable rate. The term 'cold'
refers to starting off with the motor at ambient temperature, while 'hot' refers to starting
off with the motor at the temperature reached when running at rated load. The method
the thermal model uses to account for the pre-overload state is thus known as hot/cold
biasing.
The MM200 calculates the steady-state thermal capacity used according to the following
equation.
TCUSS = Ieq
2
´ (100% - HCR ) Eq. 1
In the above equation:
• TCUSS represents the steady-state thermal capacity used expressed as a percentage.
• Ieq represents the equivalent motor heating current in per-unit values on an FLA base.
Refer to unbalance biasing for additional details.
• HCR represents the value of the Hot/Cold Safe Stall Ratio setpoint expressed as a
percentage.
If a Hot/Cold Safe Stall Ratio value of 100% is entered, the hot/cold biasing is defeated, and
unless RTD biasing is deployed, the thermal model will operate as if the motor was cold
prior to overload.
Overload curve The overload curve accounts for the rapid motor heating that occurs during stall,
acceleration, and overload. Specifically, the overload curve controls the rate of increase of
Thermal Capacity Used whenever the equivalent motor heating current is greater than
1.01 times the full load current setpoint. The curve is defined by the following equation and
reflects that overload heating largely swamps the cooling, and this heating is primarily due
to resistive losses in the stator and the rotor windings (said losses being proportional to the
square of the current).

Cooling rate The model causes the thermal capacity used to decrease exponentially when the steady-
state thermal capacity used value is less than the actual thermal capacity used. This
simulates motor cooling. As a stopped motor normally cools significantly slower than a
running motor, the relay has two cooling time constant setpoints, one used when the
motor is off (stopped, tripped, locked out, pre-contactor, etc.), the other used when the
motor is on (starting, running, stopping). In each case, the time constant is time in minutes
for the motor temperature to cool by 63% of the difference between the initial
temperature and ambient temperature.

Thermal protection Thermal model operation is a serious event, and therefore results in a lockout that can not
reset be reset until the motor has cooled, except with a level 2 or level 3 security login. A setpoint
is available that controls whether lockout persists until the motor has cooled until the
thermal capacity used reaches 15% (approximately twice the cool time stopped setpoint),
or until the relay estimates based on learned thermal capacity used on start that the
motor has cooled sufficiently for a successful restart. For the latter, a 2% safety margin is
included. While in lockout, the motor can not be started via the MM200.
If the motor is re-started it may re-trip quickly. Should process interruption concerns
outweigh the probable damage to the motor that early starting would incur, an external
circuit should be added that bypasses the relay to directly close the motor contactor.
A second setpoint controls whether once the motor has cooled as described above, the
lockout is replaced with a trip that can be manually reset without security login, or
alternatively the condition is fully reset allowing immediate restart.
Thermal protection The following setpoints are available for thermal protection.
setpoints Standard Overload Curve
Range: 1 to 15 in steps of 1
Default: 4
This setpoint specifies the standard overload curve to the thermal characteristics of the
protected motor.
Overload Pickup Level
Range: 1.01 to 1.25 X FLA
Default: 4
This setpoint specifies the Overload Pickup Level for the unit to start.
Hot/Cold Safe Stall Ratio
Range: 1 to 100% in steps of 1
Default: 75%
This setpoint is used to control the hot/cold bias and RTD bias features. It specifies the
ratio of the rated hot safe stall time to the rated cold safe stall time as a percentage. A
value of “100%” disables the hot/cold bias feature.
Cool Time Constant Stopped
Range: 1 to 1000 minutes in steps of 1
Default: 30 minutes
This setpoint specifies the cooling time constant used by the thermal model when the
motor is stopped. Enter the time in minutes for the temperature to cool by 63% of the
difference between the initial value and ambient when the motor is stationary.
Cool Time Constant Running
Range: 1 to 1000 minutes in steps of 1
Default: 15 minutes
This setpoint specifies the cooling time constant used by the thermal model when the
motor is running. Enter the time in minutes for the temperature to cool by 63% of the
difference between the initial value and ambient when the motor is at speed.
Minimize Reset Time
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Disabled
When set to “Disabled”, the lockout condition following a thermal protection operation
will persist until the thermal capacity used has dropped to 15%. When set to “Enabled”,
the lockout persists until the thermal capacity used has dropped to 2% below the
learned thermal capacity used at start (refer to the Thermal Start Inhibit for details).
Overload Reset Mode
Range: Manual, Auto
Default: Manual
If this setpoint value is “Auto”, an automatic reset of overload lockouts occurs after the
motor has cooled as described above. When set to “Manual”, the lockouts are replaced
with trips when the motor cools, the trips must be reset by the control panel, by remote
contact or by communications before the motor can be restarted.
Mechanical protection
The mechanical protection setpoints are divided into the following categories.
• Mechanical jam
• Undercurrent protection
• Acceleration protection
• Open control circuit trip.
The setpoints applicable to each of these categories are described in the following
sections.
Mechanical jam After the motor has started and reached a running state, the mechanical jam element (if
enabled) produces a trip when the magnitude of Ia, Ib, or Ic reaches or exceeds the pickup
level for the time specified by the Mechanical Jam Delay setpoint. This feature may be
used to indicate a stall condition when running. Not only does it protect the motor by
taking it off-line faster than the thermal model (overload curve), it may also prevent or limit
damage to the driven equipment if motor starting torque persists on jammed or broken
equipment.
The Mechanical Jam Level should be set higher than motor loading during normal
operation, but lower than the motor stall level. Normally the delay is set to the minimum
time delay or to avoid nuisance trips due to momentary load fluctuations.
The following setpoints are available for the mechanical jam element.
Mechanical Jam Level
Range: 1.01 to 4.50 × FLA in steps of 0.01 or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the current pickup level. Set this value to “OFF” to disable
mechanical jam protection.
Mechanical Jam Delay
Range: 0.1 to 30.0 seconds in steps of 0.1
Default: 0.1 seconds
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor current must reach or exceed pickup to
generate a mechanical jam trip.
Undercurrent When the motor is in the running state, a trip or alarm will occur should the magnitude Ia,
protection Ib, or Ic fall below the pickup level for the time specified by the Undercurrent Alarm or Trip
Delay. The pickup levels should be set lower than the lowest motor loading during normal
operations.
The following setpoints are available for the undercurrent protection element.
Undercurrent Trip Level
Range: 1 to 100% of FLA or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the undercurrent trip pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
undercurrent trip function.
Undercurrent Trip Delay
Range: 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 second
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor current must be below pickup to generate
a trip.
Acceleration The thermal model protects the motor under both starting and overload conditions. The
protection acceleration timer trip may be used to complement this protection. For example, if the
motor always starts in 2 seconds, but the safe stall time is 8 seconds, there is no point
letting the motor remain in a stall condition for the 7 or 8 seconds it would take for the
thermal model to operate. Furthermore, the starting torque applied to the driven
equipment for that period of time could cause severe damage.
If enabled, the acceleration protection will trip if the motor stays in the starting state and
does not reach the running state by the set acceleration time.
The acceleration protection setpoints and logic are described below.
Acceleration Alarm Timer(s)
Range: 0.5 to 250.0 seconds in steps of 0.1 or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the maximum acceleration time before alarming. A value of “OFF”
disables the acceleration protection alarm.
Acceleration Trip Timer(s)
Range: 0.5 to 250.0 seconds in steps of 0.1 or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the maximum acceleration time before tripping. A value of “OFF”
disables acceleration protection tripping.
Open Control Circuit Trip
Range: Enable, Disable
Set to Enable if the MM200 should trip when an open control circuit is detected.
Electrical protection
Current unbalance When an unbalance or phase current exceeds the setpoints, an alarm or trip condition is
protection generated.
The calculation method is as follows:
|IM - IAV|
If IAV ≥ IFLA : UB% = × 100%
IAV
|IM - IAV|
If IAV ≤ IFLA : UB% = × 100%
IFLA
Where:
IAV = average phase current
IM = current in a phase with maximum deviation from IAV
IFLA = MOTOR FULL LOAD CURRENT setpoint
Current Unbalance Trip Level
Range: 4 to 40%, in steps of 1, or OFF
Default: 30%
This setpoint specifies the current unbalance trip pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables
the current unbalance trip function.
Current Unbalance Trip Delay
Range: 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 second
This setpoint specifies the time the motor unbalance current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a trip.
Current Unbalance Alarm Level
Range: 4 to 40%, in steps of 1, or OFF
Default: 15%
This setpoint specifies the current unbalance alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF”
disables the current unbalance alarm function.
Current Unbalance Alarm Delay
Range: 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1
Default: 1 second
This setpoint specifies the time the motor unbalance current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate an alarm.
Ground fault When motor stator windings become wet or otherwise suffer insulation deterioration, low
protection magnitude leakage currents often precede complete failure and resultant destructive fault
currents. Ground fault protection provides early detection of such leakage current,
allowing the motor to be taken offline in time to limit motor damage. However, if a high
magnitude ground fault occurs that is beyond the capability of the contactor to interrupt,
it is desirable to wait for the fuses or an upstream device to provide the interruption.
The ground fault protection will alarm or trip when the ground current magnitude meets or
exceeds the pickup for the specified time, provided that the maximum phase current is less
than 8 × FLA. When used with a core-balance CT, this protection becomes a sensitive
ground fault protection.
A ground fault trip is a serious event, and therefore results in a lockout that can not be
reset until the motor has cooled except with a level 2 or level 3 security login.
Various situations (for example, contactor bounce) may cause transient ground currents
during motor starting that exceed the ground fault pickup levels for a very short period of
time. The delay can be fine-tuned to an application so it still responds very quickly, but
rides through normal operational disturbances. Normally, the ground fault time delays are
set as short as possible, that is, 0 ms. Time may have to be increased if nuisance tripping
occurs.
The following setpoints are available for the ground fault protection element.
Ground Trip Level
Range: 0.5 to 15.0 A in steps of 0.1 A
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the ground fault trip pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
ground fault trip function.
Ground Trip Delay on Start
Range: 0.0 to 10.0 s in steps of 0.1 s
Default: 0.0 s
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor ground fault current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a ground fault trip when the motor is in a starting condition.
Ground Trip Delay on Run
Range: 0.0 to 5.0 s in steps of 0.1 s
Default: 0.0 s
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor ground fault current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a ground fault trip when the motor is in a running condition.
Ground Alarm Level
Range: 0.5 to 15.0 A in steps of 0.1 A, when Ground CT type is set to "CBCT 2000:1"
Default: OFF
The setpoint specifies the ground fault alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
ground fault alarm function.
Ground Alarm Delay on Start
Range: 0 to 60 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 10 s
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor ground fault current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a ground fault alarm.
Ground Alarm Delay on Run
Range: 0 to 60 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 10 s
This setpoint specifies the time that the motor ground fault current must meet or exceed
pickup to generate a ground fault alarm.
Load increase alarm The load increase alarm is used to alarm abnormal load increases that may indicate
problems with the process. An alarm is enabled only after the acceleration phase is
complete and the motor has entered the running phase, and then only if the average
current has fallen below the set pickup. Once enabled, the alarm is generated when the
current exceeds the set pickup, and automatically resets when the current has subsided.
The following setpoints are available.
Load Increase Alarm Level
Range: 50 to 150% of FLA in steps of 1, or OFF
Default: OFF
This setpoint specifies the load increase alarm pickup level. A value of “OFF” disables the
load increase alarm.
Control elements
Auto/manual control
The auto/manual control element manages the auto/manual control mode, consolidates
the start A, start B and stop controls from their various sources, and applies auto/manual,
test switch and permissive supervision.
The MM200 has four possible sources of start A, start B and stop controls:
• Communications: Controls received over a serial data link - Modbus, DeviceNet,
Profibus and/or Modbus TCP. Communications controls are not differentiated based
on port or protocol.
• Hard-wired: Controls received typically via contact inputs from a PLC or DCS.
• Field: Controls received typically via contact inputs from pushbuttons or switches
located adjacent to the controlled equipment.
• MCC: controls received from the control panel of the MM200.
Communications and hard-wired controls are considered to be auto controls, and are
inhibited unless auto mode is on. Likewise, field and MCC controls are considered to be
manual controls, and are inhibited unless manual mode is on. Each source may also have
a contact input assigned to permissive supervision, which enables that source when on.
Table 4-4: Auto/manual control sources
Control source Supervision
Communications Auto Comms permissive
Hard-wired Auto Hard-wired permissive
Field Manual Field permissive
MCC Manual MCC permissive
The MM200 may also be set to always honor stop controls, regardless of auto/manual
mode and permissive supervision (default).
The auto/manual control element also drives a control source active indicator for each
source on the front panel display (if equipped) that shows the user exactly which control
sources have both the correct auto/manual mode on and have their permissive configured
and on.
The auto/manual control element includes non-volatile latches that hold the auto and
manual mode states. Besides supervising controls from the sources, the latches drive auto
and manual indicators on the MM200 control panel. The latches can be controlled either
by an external auto switch contact or by the control panel.
• When configured for Auto/Man switch contact, auto is on when the contact is closed
energizing the input, and manual is on when the contact is open.
• When a switch contact is configured for auto/manual, the front panel auto/manual
pushbuttons are inoperative. When no switch contacts are configured, but the MCC
Auto/Manual Key setpoint is “Enabled”, the control panel auto and manual keys will
switch the mode between auto and manual.
• When no input is configured for auto or manual, and the MCC Auto/Manual Key
setpoint is “Disabled”, both auto and manual modes are set on.
The Auto and Manual modes are temporarily forced to settable states when the test switch
is on.
The following setpoints are available for the auto/manual control element.
Field 2W/3W
Range: 2W, 3W
Default: 3W
Two-wire or three-wire controls selection. If in the two-wire mode, all field start contact
inputs being open will be treated as a field stop control. For reversing and two-speed
starter configurations, both start inputs open is treated as a field stop control.
MCC Start Ctrl
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Enabled
Sets whether start commands are accepted from the control panel.
MCC Stop Mode
Range: Always Enabled, Follow Ctrl Mode
Default: Always Enabled
If set to “Always Enabled”, control panel stops will always be honoured, irrespective of
the MCC Start Ctrl setpoint, auto/manual mode, and permissive. If set to “Follow Ctrl
Mode”, control panel stops will be supervised by auto/manual and by MCC permissive in
the same manner as the starts.
MCC Stop Action
Range: Stop, Trip
Default: Stop
Defines whether MCC control trips (reset required to clear) or stops (no reset required).
Test Auto Mode
Range: On, Off, Unaffected
Default: Off
Sets whether, when the test switch is on, the auto mode is forced on, forced off, or is
unaffected.
Test Manual Mode
Range: On, Off, Unaffected
Default: On
When the test switch is on, this setpoint determines if the manual mode is forced on,
forced off, or is unaffected.
The traditional algorithm would detect the start (if it is fast enough), but may or may not
detect the running state that follows. Even if it does detect the running state, as it is an
atypical start, the learned values such as learned acceleration time would be corrupted.
The MM200 employs an improved starting and running state detection algorithm.
Normally, it declares starting when either contactor A or contactor B closes. Running is
declared when either contactor has been closed for one second, and then current is found
to be below 1 × FLA. This provides equivalent functionality to the traditional algorithm..
If an A or B motor contactor is externally energized, the relay will treat this as a start A or B
control, and display an External Start A Alarm or an External Start B Alarm message.
The stop/start control element also consolidates the various start and stop signals for the
convenience of other elements.
The following setpoint is available:
External Stop Action
Range: Stop, Trip
Default: Stop
This setpoints selects whether an external stop is considered to be an emergency stop
(reset required to clear) or a stop control (no reset required).

Chapter 5: Diagnostics
Diagnostics
The diagnostics pages display typical diagnostic information, including learned data,
phasors, system counters, and system information. In the event of a trip or alarm, the
diagnostic pages are often very helpful in diagnosing the cause of the condition.
Digital counters
Trip counters are typically used for scheduling inspections on equipment, for performing
qualitative analysis of system problems, and for spotting trends. Several general counters
are also available.
When the relay is powered off, the counter values are stored in non-volatile memory.
NOTE:
NOTE Total Number of Trips, Incomplete Sequence Trips, Overload Trips, Mechanical Jam
Trips, Undercurrent Trips, Current Unbalance Trips, Ground Fault Trips, Motor
Acceleration Trips.
Range: 0 to 65535 trips in steps of 1
These values display a breakdown of number of trips by type. When the total number of
trips for any counter exceeds 65535, that counter is reset to 0.
Number of Motor Starts
Range: 0 to 65535 starts in steps of 1
This value displays the number of accumulated motor starts or start attempts. This value
may be useful information when troubleshooting a motor failure. When this counter
exceeds 65535 starts, it will reset to 0.
Motor Running Hours
Range: 0 to 100000 hours in steps of 1
The motor running hours timer accumulates the total running time for the motor. This
value may be useful for scheduling routine maintenance. Counter will roll over to zero
after range is exceeded.
Motor Stopped Hours
Range: 0 to 100000 hours in steps of 1
The motor stopped hours timer accumulates the total stopped time for the motor. This
value may be useful for scheduling routine maintenance.
Learned data
The MM200 learns the acceleration time, the starting current, the starting capacity, and
the average motor load during motor starts. This data is accumulated based on the last
five successful starts.
Learned Acceleration Time
Range: 0.0 to 200.0 ms in steps of 0.1 s
If motor load during starting is relatively consistent, the learned acceleration time may
be used to fine tune the acceleration protection. Learned acceleration time will be the
greatest time of the last five successful starts. The time is measured from the transition
of motor current from zero to greater than overload pickup, until line current falls below
the overload pickup level.
Learned Starting Current
Range: 0.0 to 10000.0 A in steps of 0.1 A
The learned starting current is measured 200 ms after the transition of motor current
from zero to greater than overload pickup. This should ensure that the measured current
is symmetrical. The value displayed is the average of the last five successful starts. If
there are less than five starts, a value of 0 seconds will be averaged in for the full five
starts.
Learned Starting Capacity
Range: 0 to 100% in steps of 1
The learned starting capacity is used to determine if there is enough thermal capacity to
permit a start. If there is not enough thermal capacity available for a start, a start inhibit
will be issued. Starting will be blocked until there is sufficient thermal capacity available.
