MSF Soft Start

With Torque Controlled starting and stopping, and a built-in patented shaft power monitoring feature, the MSF's ability to provide optimum control and complete protection of your applications is unparalleled.

The MSF is among the most advanced Soft Starts available. Unlike previous generations of electric soft starts, the MSF starts and stops the motor using torque controlled ramps. This principle not only provides ultra smooth starting and stopping, but also lowers starting currents by a further 20% versus reduced voltage Soft Starts.

An array of valuable standard features futher ensures that the MSF is the most advanced Soft Start available.

The following features come as standard on the latest version of the MSF Soft Start, making it ideally suited for a diverse group of applications.

Features

• Torque ramp starting and stopping
• Torque ramp with current limit
• M20 Shaft Power Monitor built-in
• Jog forward and jog reverse
• Motor Breaking
• Four parameter sets
• Supply monitoring and protection
• Full voltage (emergency) start
• Pump application software
• Multiple parameter digital readouts

Smooth Starts Reduce your Costs

Efficient torque control ensures an ultra-smooth start with constant acceleration. Reduced stat currents and mechanical stress means lower installation, energy, and maintenance costs. Torque boost can be used to overcome initial torque peaks when starting, for example, a loaded crusher.

Protect your Process and Maximize Efficiency

A built-in Shaft Power Monitor protects your process from damage, downtime, and inefficiency. It reacts immediately if a crusher is jammed, a pump is running dry, or a fan filter is blocked. Any deviation from your selected load levels will result in a warning or quick, but smooth stop.

Smart Stops - Smooth or Quick

MSF offers efficient solutions, whether the need is a smooth of a quick stop. A linear stop of a pump eliminates the risk of water hammer. No motor-controlled valves are needed. Built-in braking functionality ensures quick and safe stops of mills and saws without mechanical brakes.

Programmable Inputs Increase Flexibility

Four programmable inputs offer great flexibility. The rotating directions of a fan can be controlled by programming two inputs for start left/right. No external PLC is required. You can connect an external alarm signal to stop the motor if a problem occurs. An analog sensor can be connected directly to the MSF to control the start and stop levels of a pump.

Quick and Cost-efficient Installation

Installing an MSF is quick and cost-efficient. There is no need for the additional equipment often required - DC brakes, motor protection relays, mains failure relays, load monitors, meters, displays, or switches. Everything you need is included in the MSF unit.
