Functional Description
3.4.1
Normal Start / Stop
The drive control can be set to three modes at the MCC. Auto / Off / Manual
In AUTO mode, the drive is started and stopped by a remote control system e.g.
PLC/SCADA via Relay R39. The drive will run, providing all interlock conditions
are satisfied, whilst R39 is energised and will stop when R39 de-energises. All
interlocks (see section 3.4.2) are active and all manual stop buttons are operational
in Auto mode.
In OFF mode control power is interrupted, the drive will stop if running and the
drive cannot be started either using manual start buttons or the auto start relay R39.
In MANUAL mode, providing all interlocks are satisfied, the drive can be started
using the momentary start button at the MCC and at any remote manual start
buttons if fitted. All interlocks (se section x.x) are active and all manual stop
buttons are operational in Manual mode.
