About This Publication This user manual provides you with the information that is required to
program and operate your SMC-50™ soft starter.
The SMC-50 soft starter is a reduced voltage soft starter that uses a state-of-
the-art microprocessor- based control module. By using six back-to-back
silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) (two per phase), the SMC-50 soft starter
provides controlled acceleration, operation/run, and deceleration of standard
three-phase squirrel-cage induction or Wye-Delta (6-lead) motors. Power
structures are available with an integral bypass contactor or without (solid-
state).
The user manual assumes that the installer is a qualified person with previous
experience and basic understanding of electrical terminology, configuration
procedures, required equipment, and safety precautions.
Terminology Throughout this publication, we also refer to the SMC-50 soft starter as the
SMC-50 controller. These terms are interchangeable.

General Precautions
WARNING:
• Only personnel familiar with the controller and associated machinery should
plan or implement the installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of
the system. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
• Hazardous voltage is present in the motor circuit even when the SMC-50
controller is off. To avoid shock hazard, disconnect the main power before
working on the controller, motor, and control devices such as Start-Stop push
buttons. Procedures that require parts of the equipment to be energized
during troubleshooting, testing, and so on, must be performed by properly
qualified personnel, using appropriate local safety work practices and
precautionary measures.
• Failure of solid-state power switching components can cause overheating due
to a single-phase condition in the motor. To help prevent injury or equipment
damage, the use of an isolation contactor or shunt trip-type circuit breaker on
the line side of the SMC controller is recommended. This device should be
capable of interrupting the motor’s locked-rotor current.
• Hazardous voltages that can cause shock, burn, or death are present on L1, L2,
L3, T1, T2, and T3. For Internal bypass units, hazardous voltages are also
present on T4, T5, and T6. Power terminal covers for units rated 90…180 A
(solid state) and 108…480 A (integrated bypass) can be installed to help
prevent inadvertent contact with terminals. Disconnect the main power before
servicing the motor controller, motor, or associated wiring.
ATTENTION:
• Static control precautions are required when you install, test, service, or repair
the assembly. The controller contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive
parts and assemblies. Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, See applicable ESD protection handbooks.
• Stopping modes, such as braking, are not intended to be used as an
emergency stop. You are responsible for determining which stopping mode is
best suited to the application. See the applicable standards for emergency
stop requirements.
• Pump and linear deceleration stopping modes may cause motor heating.
Depending upon the mechanical dynamics of the system, select the lowest
stopping time setting that satisfactorily stops the motor.
• Slow speed running is not intended for continuous operation. This is due to
reduced motor cooling.
• Two peripheral devices can be connected to the direct programming interface
(DPI™) port in the control module. The maximum output current through the
DPI port is 560 mA.
• NOTE: A Human Interface Module (HIM) that is installed in the control module
HIM port/bezel (Figure 1 on page 11) also draws power from the DPI port.
• Disconnect the controller from the power source when installing or inspecting
protective or capacitor modules. These modules should be inspected
periodically for damage or discoloration. Replace module if it is damaged or
the clear sealant or components are discolored.
• Additional considerations may be required for EMC compliance. See page 35.
ATTENTION:
• The controller must be correctly applied and installed. If applied or installed
incorrectly, damage to the components or the reduction in product life may
occur. The system may malfunction if the following wiring or application
errors occur: undersizing the motor, using an improperly sized controller,
using an incorrect or inadequate AC supply, excessive ambient temperatures,
or power quality.
• You must program the Motor Overload parameter to provide proper protection.
Overload configuration must be properly coordinated with the motor.
• This product has been designed and tested as Class A equipment for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Use of this product in domestic
environments may cause radio interference, in which case, the installer may
need to employ additional mitigation methods.
• Disconnect the controller from the motor before you measure insulation
resistance (IR) of the motor windings. Voltages used for insulation resistance
testing can cause silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) failure. Do not make any
measurements on the controller with an insulation resistance (IR) or Megger™
tester.
• To protect the Smart Motor Controller (SMC) and/or motor from line voltage
surges, protective modules may be placed on the line, load, or both sides of
the SMC controller. Do not place protective modules on the load side of the
SMC controller when using an inside-the-delta motor connection or with
pump, linear deceleration, or braking control.
• The controller can be installed on a system with power factor correction
capacitors (PFCC). The PFCCs must only be on the line side of the SMC
controller. Installing PFCCs on the load side results in SCR damage and failure.
• The ground fault sensing feature of the SMC-50 controller is intended for
monitoring only and not as a ground fault circuit interrupter for personnel
protection as defined in NEC Article 100. The ground fault sensing feature has
not been evaluated to UL 1053.
• After a short circuit occurs, you must verify device functionality.
This product contains a sealed lithium battery that may need to be replaced
during the life of the product.
At the end of its life, the battery that is contained in this product should be
collected separately from any unsorted municipal waste.
The collection and recycling of batteries helps to protect the environment and
contributes to the conservation of natural resources as valuable materials are
recovered.

Product Overview
Introduction The SMC-50™ Smart Motor Controller is a micro-processor based soft starter
that is designed to maximize the efficiency of motor starts and stops. The
SMC-50 controller uses six silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) (two per phase)
to vary the conduction period and control the voltage (torque) to the motor
during starting, running, and stopping. The starter has many advanced power
monitoring and motor/starter protection features to help increase overall
reliability. Product scalability is enabled by its three connection ports (Port 7, 8,
and 9) to house additional I/O, network communication, or parameter
configuration modules (a maximum of three modules). Scalability continues
into the configuration of the controller via different options: a multilingual 20-
HIM-A6 controller or a panel-mount keypad with LCD display featuring more
advanced configuration features, and software that is PC based and network
capable (such as Connected Components Workbench™ Software) with optimal
configuration features. The front panel of the SMC-50 controller features a
multicolored light-emitting diode (LED) status indicator that provides both
diagnostics and controller status information and a Push-to-Reset/Hold-to-
Test push button that allows manual reset of an actual fault condition and
initiates a tuning cycle or test for fault.

Starting Modes The SMC-50 Smart Motor Controller provides the following starting modes of
operation as standard:

Selectable Kickstart Integral Motor Winding Heater (starting feature)
Soft Start
This method covers the most general applications. The motor is given an initial
torque setting, which is user adjustable. From the initial torque level, the
output voltage to the motor is steplessly increased (ramped) during the
acceleration ramp time, which is user-adjustable. A user-adjustable current
limit value is also available. This limits the current throughout the soft start.
A motor’s torque curve is not a linear function and depends on both applied
voltage and current. As such, if the soft starter ramped voltage applied to the
motor is sufficient for it to develop torque high enough to overcome the inertia of
the load, the motor could quickly accelerate to full speed in less than the
configured ramp time when using the Soft Start mode.

Full-voltage Start
This method is used in applications that require across-the-line (direct-on-
line) starting. The SMC-50 controller performs like a solid-state across-the-line
contactor. Full inrush current and locked-rotor torque are realized. You can
program the SMC-50 controller to provide a full-voltage start in which the
output voltage to the motor reaches full voltage in five cycles.

Soft Stop
The Soft Stop mode can be used in applications that require an extended stop
time. The voltage ramp down time is user adjustable from 0...999 seconds. This
load stops when the programmed stop time has elapsed or the voltage ramp
drops to a point where the load torque is greater than the motor torque.

Pump Stop
In the same way that starting a centrifugal pump at full voltage causes fluid
hammer and check valve slam, stopping a centrifugal pump that is running at
full speed can also produce the same results. The SMC- 50 controller's Pump
Stop mode generates a motor stop curve, which follows the stop characteristics
of a centrifugal pump. This results in the gradual decrease in motor speed.

speed until a stop command is given. Braking torque is then applied until the
motor reaches zero speed. Braking current is programmable from 0…400% of
full-load current.

function with the Smart Motor Braking Stop Option and Slow Speed with Braking functions.
Internal Bypass Modes The SMC-50 controllers with internal bypass use its power section SCRs to
start and stop a squirrel-cage induction motor. The basic operation of the
SCRs is to switch on (conduct) for a certain percentage of the 50/60 Hz AC sine
wave to control the amount of voltage that is applied to the motor. By using
special control algorithms and motor feedback to manage the voltage applied,
the SMC-50 controller can perform various starting, stopping, and braking
control modes as outlined in previous sections of this document. During
normal run operation, the SMC-50 controller with internal bypass closes the
internal bypass contactor(s) when the motor is up to speed. This reduces heat
because the motor current is now flowing through the internal bypass
contactor and not through the SCRs.
Solid-state Running Modes The SMC-50 controllers with solid-state power structures provide the
following running modes of operation as standard:
Running Modes
SCR Control—Normal Run Operation External Bypass—Optional Run Operation
SCR Control—Energy Saver Run Operation Emergency Run
These modes are only available on solid-state power structures. They are not
available on units with internal bypass.
Emergency Run
When one of the SMC-50 controller's inputs is configured for Emergency Run
and that input is activated, all system faults are disabled. This prevents a fault
from shutting down the system.
Resistor Loads
The SMC-50 solid-state controller can control directly connected resistive
loads by using phase angle control based on a reference value. If this control
method is selected, the SMC-50 controller varies the output voltage in
response to the changing reference source. This reference source is
programmable and extremely flexible. This mode is typically used for resistive
heating applications.
Motor and Starter The SMC-50 controller provides both motor and
starter alarms and faults. An alarm condition is
Protection Features intended to provide an alert that a potential
system issue, or fault is pending to allow time to
take corrective action. A fault is intended to
protect equipment from damage by shutting
down that equipment and/or removing power.
The SMC-50 controller lets you individually
enable or disable motor and starter alarms and
faults by bit (On/Off) selection. Alarm and fault
trip points are typically user-configurable to
allow for application dependence. In addition,
many alarms and faults provide a separate user-
configurable alarm and fault time delay
parameter to limit spurious trips and
shutdowns.
As standard, the SMC-50 controller enables manual reset of a fault from the
PUSH-TO-RESET/HOLD-TO-TEST button, which is near the LED status
indicator. Fault indication and reset can also be performed from an optional
controller bezel and/or panel-mount HIM or from PC software (such as
Connected Components Workbench software).
Undervoltage Protection
Overvoltage Protection
Metering System
Power and operational monitoring parameters include:
• Current—The RMS current value is provided for each phase, plus the
average current of all three.
• Voltage—The RMS line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltage values are
provided while the motor is running and when stopped. The average of
all three is also provided.
• Line Frequency—The SMC-50 controller measures and provides user
access to the line frequency (Hz).
• Power—Real, reactive, and apparent power values are calculated for each
phase plus the total for all three phases. The current power demand and
the maximum power demand are also provided.
• Power Factor—The value of the power factor is provided for each phase
and as a total of all three.
• Peak Starting Current—The SMC-50 controller stores the peak average
RMS motor current that was consumed for the last five start cycles.

DeviceLogix™
Motors can experience locked-rotor currents and develop high torque levels if
there is a stall or a jam. These conditions can result in winding insulation
breakdown or mechanical damage to the connected load. The SMC-50
controller provides both stall protection and jam detection for enhanced motor
and system protection. A jam level (as a percent of motor FLC) is configurable
for both an alarm and motor shutdown (fault). In addition, both stall and jam
conditions let you set a delay time before initiating an alarm (jam only) or
motor shutdown (fault).
Underload Protection
The SMC-50 controller lets you program the allowed number of starts within a
one-hour sliding window (up to 99). This helps eliminate motor stress that is
caused by repetitive starting during a short time. An alarm or fault can be
enabled using the single configured value.
The SMC-50 controller also has user-configurable motor alarms and faults that
you can use to indicate required or planned maintenance.
• Planned Maintenance Hours
• Planned Maintenance Starts
Controller Parameter The SMC-50 controller’s starting, stopping, and running operations are
configured/programmed by changing the settings of a functionally predefined
Configuration set of parameters. Several different configuration tools are available to
perform this.
A configuration tool is not shipped with the SMC-50 controller. You must order the
configuration tool separately.
Optional extension cables and control cabinet door mounting kits are available
to mount the HIM off the SMC-50 controller.
After parameter configuration is complete, the 150-SM6 can be removed from the
SMC-50 controller. This enables one module to configure multiple SMC-50
controllers.
When you are using a Cat. No. 150-SM6 PCM to configure the SMC-50
controller, note that the following features, functions, and modes are not
configurable:
• Full-voltage start
• Torque ramp start
• External brake stop
• Option card I/O configuration (Cat. No. 150-SM… option modules)
• External bypass
• Specialized output relay configuration (for example, network control,
DeviceLogix, auxiliary control)
• Specialized operation modes/features
- Dual ramp, motor winding heater, emergency run
- Overload select (Class)
- Adjustment of slow speed setpoint
Parameters that are not defined and therefore are not configurable by the
Cat. No. 150-SM6 PCM can be configured via other means (Human Interface
Module (HIM), Connected Components Workbench Software, DriveExplorer™
or DriveExecutive™ software), if necessary.
Optional Inputs(a)
A Cat. No. 150-SM4 Digital I/O option
module contains four 120/240V AC inputs
and can be inserted into any of the three
control module option ports (three
modules maximum per control module).
The control functionality of each input is
user configurable and identical to the
standard inputs. The status of any input is
readable via communications.
(a) The ground fault sensing feature of the SMC-50 controller is intended for monitoring only. It is not to be used as a ground fault circuit
interrupter for personnel protection as defined by Article 100 of the NEC. The sensing feature has not been evaluated to UL 1053.

Wiring
This chapter illustrates basic wiring configurations for the SMC-50 controller.
Wiring Terminal Locations The SMC-50 controller wiring terminal locations are shown in Figure 19.
Incoming three-phase power connections are made to terminals L1/1, L2/3, and
L3/5. Load connections to motors are made to T1/2, T2/4, and T3/6.

Note Information
1 See publication 150-TD009 for lug information
2 Inside-the-delta connected motors require an additional delta distribution block
For controllers rated 210…520 A, a grounding nut (size 1/4-20) is provided for
grounding per applicable local codes.
SMC-50 controller power structures use solid-state SCR designs that can
interface with 200...480V AC or 200...690V AC (690V line and 600V inside-the-
delta) motors. Both the internally bypassed and solid-state power structures
are available. Verify ratings of unit before application.
ATTENTION:
• Failure of solid-state power switching components can cause overheating due
to a single-phase condition in the motor. To help prevent injury or equipment
damage, the following is recommended:
• Use an isolation contactor or shunt trip type circuit breaker on the line side of
the SMC-50 controller. This device should be capable of interrupting the
motor’s locked rotor current.
• To achieve coordinated operation with the SMC-50 controller, wire the
isolation contactor’s control relay to an auxiliary relay output contact on the
SMC-50 controller. Program the auxiliary relay contact for the “normal”
condition. See Chapter 6 for additional information.
Figure 20 shows typical power wiring diagrams for both line and inside-the-
delta connections.

Protective Modules Install a protective module (see Figure 21) that contains MOVs (Metal Oxide
Varistors) to protect the SMC-50 power components from electrical transients
and/or electrical noise.
You can install protective modules controllers that are rated from 200…600V to
protect the power components from electrical transients. The protective
modules clip voltage transients that are generated on the lines to prevent such
34 Rockwell Automation Publication 150-UM011E-EN-P - April 2021

surges from damaging the SCRs. The use of MOVs is highly recommended,
because 480V and 600V MOVs offer maximum protection of 1400V and 1600V
respectively.

ATTENTION: You can place protective modules on the line, load, or both
sides of the SMC-50 controller. However, protective modules must not be
placed on the load side of the SMC-50 controller when using inside-the-delta
motor connections or with pump, linear speed, or braking control.
There are two general situations that may occur that could indicate the need
for using the protective modules.
1. Transient Spikes—Transient spikes typically occur on the lines that feed
either the SMC-50 controller or the load from the SMC-50 controller.
Transient spikes are created on the line when devices are attached with
current- carrying inductances that are open-circuited. The energy stored
in the magnetic field is released when the contacts open the circuit.
Examples of these include lightly loaded motors, transformers,
solenoids, full voltage starters, and electromechanical brakes.
2. Fast-rising Wavefronts—If the SMC-50 controller is installed on a
system that has fast-rising wavefronts present, although not necessarily
high peak voltages, protective modules may be needed. Additionally, if
the controller is on the same bus as other SCR devices (such as AC/DC
drives, induction heating equipment, or welding equipment), the firing
of the SCRs in those devices can cause noise.
ATTENTION: When you install or inspect the protective module, make sure
that the controller has been disconnected from the power source. The
protective module should be inspected periodically for damage or
discoloration. Replace if necessary.
Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) ATTENTION: This product has been designed for Class A equipment. Use of
the product in domestic environments may cause radio interference, in
which case the installer may need to employ additional mitigation methods.
Enclosure
Install the product in a grounded metal enclosure.
Wiring
Wire in an industrial control application can be divided into three groups:
power, control, and signal. The following recommendations for physical
separation between these groups is provided to reduce the coupling effect:
• Different wire groups should cross at 90° inside an enclosure.
• Minimum spacing between different wire groups in the same tray should
be 16 cm (6 in.).
• Wire runs outside of an enclosure should be run in conduit or have
shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation.
• Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
• Minimum spacing between conduits containing different wire groups
should be 8 cm (3 in.).
• For additional guidelines, please see the installation instructions, Wiring
and Ground Guidelines, publication DRIVES-IN001.
Additional Requirements
• Wire earth ground to control terminal #3 control ground.
• Use shielded wire for PTC and ground fault input.
• Terminate shielded wires to the control module terminal #3 control
ground.
• Ground fault CT must be inside or within 3 m (9.84 ft.) of metal
enclosure.
• When you use an external HIM, you must place a ferrite core around the
HIM cable. Use Fair-Rite Products Corp. part no. 0431167281 or
equivalent.
• When you use 240V AC control voltage, you must place a ferrite core
around the line/neutral supply wires at the control module. Use Fair-Rite
Products Corp. part no. 0431164281 or equivalent.
• When you use 120V AC control on a solid-state D-frame unit, (361, 420, or
520 A), you must place a ferrite core around the line/neutral supply wires
at the control module. Use Fair-Rite Products Corp. part no. 0431164281
or equivalent.
• When you use a solid-state B-frame unit, (90, 110, 140, or 180 A), you must
install the 150-SMCAP module on the 3-phase line terminals (L1, L2, L3).
• When you use a 150-SM2 option module, you must place a ferrite core
around any or all sensor wires, such as PTC or ground fault. Use Fair-Rite
Products Corp. part no. 0431167281 or equivalent.
Power Wiring with External You can use both the internal bypass and solid-state power structure versions
of the SMC-50 controller with an external bypass contactor. Figure 22 through
Bypass Figure 26 show typical wiring diagrams for line-and inside-the-delta-
connected configurations.
All diagrams are valid for both solid-state and internal bypass power structures
unless otherwise noted.

uncontrolled current to flow to the motor winding(s). This could potentially result in
overheating or damage to the motor. To help prevent potential personal injury or

2 See the controller nameplate to verify control power input ratings (100...240V AC)
3 Terminal A1 (InA1) 100...240V AC N.O. input is configured for START/STOP or START/COAST using parameter
7-2 [Input 1] (control module port number 7) (contact closed, start initiated, contact open, stop initiated).
When using START/STOP or START/COAST, a N.O. input contact must be used
4 Due to current leakage through an SCR in the OFF state (controller stopped), some form of upstream line
power isolation is recommended if the motor requires maintenance. See Figure 83 for details
5 The order of the terminal numbers for the option I/O module can be reversed depending on which
expansion slot on the control module the option I/O module is in. The function associated with the
terminal number does not change
6 Configure both In1, parameter 56 [Input 1], and In2, parameter 57 [Input2], to "Disable"
• The controller generates an I/O configuration fault if any input is configured for
START or SLOW speed and no input is selected for COAST or STOP.
• In addition to a small amount of leakage current flowing through an SCR in the off-
state, failure of one or more solid-state power switching components allows
uncontrolled current to flow to the motor winding(s). This could potentially result in
overheating or damage to the motor. To help prevent potential personal injury or
equipment damage, the installation of an isolation contactor or shunt trip-type
circuit breaker that can interrupt the motor’s locked rotor current on the line side
of the SMC-50 controller is recommended. Operation of the isolation device should
be coordinated using one of the SMC-50 controller Aux contacts configured to
NORMAL.

• The controller generates an I/O configuration fault if any input is configured for START or SLOW speed and no input is configured

• In addition to a small amount of leakage current flowing through an SCR in the off-state, failure of one or more solid-state power
switching components allows uncontrolled current to flow to the motor winding(s). This could potentially result in overheating or
damage to the motor. To help prevent potential personal injury or equipment damage, the installation of an isolation contactor or
shunt trip-type circuit breaker that can interrupt the motor’s locked rotor current on the line side of the SMC-50 controller is
recommended. Operation of the isolation device should be coordinated using one of the SMC-50 controller Aux contacts
configured to NORMAL.

Solid-state Units
Solid-state units do not require any additional wiring. The fans are connected
internally.
Upgraded Units
For SMC Flex controller-to-SMC-50 controller control upgrades, the fans
remain connected as they were in the SMC Flex controller. You do not need to
change any wiring.
IMPORTANT Fan voltage must match the control voltage of the SMC-50 controller.
Examples: 120V AC control voltage = 120V AC fan voltage; 24V DC control
voltage = 24V DC fan voltage
Operating Modes
Operation The SMC-50 controller with an internal bypass power structure can operate
standard squirrel-cage induction motors rated 27…480 A or star-delta (wye-
delta) type motors rated 47…831 A operated inside-the-delta.
The SMC-50 controller with a solid-state power structure can operate standard
squirrel-cage induction motors rated 30…520 A or star-delta (wye-delta) type
motors rated 52…900 A operated inside-the-delta.
IMPORTANT Verify line and control voltage values on the product before you apply
power.
Motor Tuning The SMC-50 controller performs the motor tuning process on the initial start
sequence of the motor. Motor tuning includes the identification of the motor
parameters and the detection of the motor connection type (Line or Delta). The
SMC-50 controller uses the motor tuning data in its control algorithm. During
the tuning process, the motor does not turn and makes some audible noise,
including pulsing and buzzing. The time to complete the tuning process is
approximately 10…20 seconds, but varies based on the size and characteristics
of the individual motor being used. After successful completion of the tuning
process, the motor starts based on the user-programmed start profile. If you
interrupt the tuning process by giving a stop command or removing power
from the unit, the tuning process repeats on the next start command.
Subsequent starts of the motor after a successful tuning do not perform the
tuning process.
With some generators, you may have difficulty with the motor tuning. If so, try
tuning the motor while it is connected to line power. Contact Rockwell Automation
technical support if you need assistance.
After the initial successful tuning of the motor, You can restart the process via
one of the following methods:
1. Change the status of parameter 194 [Forced Tuning] to TRUE by using a
configuration tool (such as a HIM) with the motor stopped. During the
next start cycle, the tuning process occurs and parameter 194 changes
back to FALSE. OR
2. Press the "HOLD TO TEST/PUSH TO RESET" push button on the front of
the controller for ten seconds with the motor stopped. The tuning
process occurs during the next start cycle. The controller’s status LED
flashes amber to indicate that tTuning occurs on the next start cycle. OR
3. When the controller processes a "Load Factory Defaults" command via
parameter 229 [Parameter Mgmt].
If you perform initial system tests with a motor that is smaller or larger than
normal, you must perform a motor tuning cycle on the motor that is used in the
final installation.
Table 7 lists parameter 194 [Forced Tuning] and other key motor parameters
that the SMC-50 controller checks during a motor tuning cycle.

Resistive Loads The resistive load feature lets you control voltage from 1…100% of full voltage
with simple settings.
• Setting parameter 347 [Load Type] to Resistive.
• Set the reference source, parameter 348 [Ref Source], to either Output V
Ref (Output Voltage Reference), analog card 150-SM3 input, or
DeviceLogix output.
If the Ref Source is selected in parameter 348 [Ref Source], then you must set
parameter 349 [Output V Ref]. You must also set parameter 46 [Line Voltage]
and parameter 78 [Motor FLC].
The Motor FLC when resistive load is selected is actually resistance full load
current; you need to calculate this if you do not know the value for the load. If
needed, You can also set parameter 53 [Cur Limit Level] to limit the amount of
current that is supplied to the resistors. You can change the value of the
reference source while the SMC-50 controller is in a run state.
ATTENTION: You cannot use the resistive load feature on motor loads

The SMC-50 can start the motor following a timed linear ramp. The value of
parameter 50 [Ramp Time] is selectable from 0.0…1000.0 seconds and
determines the time the motor ramps from a zero speed to full speed
condition. Parameter 51 [Initial Torque] sets the starting torque that is
supplied to the motor from the controller. A current limit setting (50…600%
selectable of motor FLC) is also available. If the controller reaches the current
limit setpoint, the acceleration ramp stops. When the unit comes out of
current limit, the linear ramp resumes.
100%
Soft Start
Set parameter 49 [Starting Mode] = Soft Start. This is the factory default value.
This mode has the most general applications. The motor is given an initial
torque setting using parameter 51 [Initial Torque], which is user-adjustable
from 0…90% of locked rotor torque. From the initial torque level, the output
voltage to the motor is linearly increased during the acceleration ramp time.
The acceleration ramp time is adjustable from 0…1000 seconds using
parameter 50 [Ramp Time].
During soft start, a current limit override (50…600% FLC) is also available to
limit current throughout the start cycle using parameter 53 [Cur Limit Level].
The controller has Up-to-Speed (UTS) detection to determine when the motor
is at full speed. If the motor reaches UTS before the end of the ramp time, the
SMC-50 controller applies full voltage to the motor and the soft start is ended.
The UTS level can be configured in percent of the SMC-50 controller’s applied
motor voltage using parameter 186 [UTS Level]. Table 10 lists the full Soft Start
parameter list.
If the controller is detecting UTS too soon, the UTS level should be increased. This
typically occurs in very high-efficiency motors. If the controller is detecting UTS
too late or not at all, the UTS level should be lowered. This typically occurs in very
low-efficiency motors. See Timed Start on page 77 for additional details.

This feature provides a torque (current) boost at startup to break away loads

0.0…2.0 seconds using parameter 54 [Kickstart Time].

This starting mode provides a true current limit start, and is used when it is
required to limit the maximum starting current to the load. This is
accomplished using parameter 53 [Cur Limit Level], which is user-adjustable
from 50…600% of the motor full-load current rating (FLC) and parameter 50
[Ramp Time], which is user-adjustable from 0.0…1000.0 seconds. For current
limit, the Ramp Time is the time that the controller holds the current limit level
until switching to full voltage. If the controller senses that the motor has
reached the UTS condition during the current limit starting mode, the current
limit ramp ends. As with Soft Start, the UTS level can be modified to account
for load or motor characteristics. If Ramp Time has expired and UTS is not
achieved, the SMC-50 controller holds the current limit until UTS is reached, a
Motor Overload Trip, or Starter Overtemp Fault occurs. Kickstart is also
available with current limit.

This motor starting method provides a torque ramp from an initial starting
torque level to a maximum torque level over the start time. The torque levels
are entered in percent of rated motor torque. This requires that you configure
parameter 47 [Rated Torque] to the motor’s rated torque. The torque start
operating mode requires motor tuning to function properly. Tuning can be
forced manually; it is otherwise performed automatically the first time the
motor is started. See Motor Tuning on page 67.
This control mode helps to reduce surges (fluid hammer) during the starting
and stopping of a centrifugal pump by smoothly accelerating and decelerating
the motor. As such, starting and stopping parameters are typically configured
together. The microprocessor analyzes the motor variables and generates
commands that control the motor and reduce the possibility of surges
occurring in the system.

Time (seconds)
Timed Start
Parameter 183 [Timed Start] forces the starting profile to complete the entire
user-configured ramp time before applying full voltage. In some starting
modes (for example, soft start) and with certain loads (for example, lightly
loaded motor), an early UTS condition can be generated placing the SMC-50
controller in full-voltage start, which might cause excessive current. Setting
Timed Start to "Enable" forces all starts to complete the configured Ramp Time
that is set in parameter 50 [Ramp Time].
Backspin Timer
Parameter 67 [Backspin Timer] is provided to avoid starting a motor into a
backspin condition, which can result in motor shaft damage. The user-
configured time begins to count down after a stop maneuver is complete. All
start inputs are ignored until the backspin timer has timed out.
The motor winding heater function is activated after it receives a valid start
command. After a valid start, you can activate the heating function by:
• programming parameter 220 [Heating Time] to a nonzero value or
• configuring an input to "Motor Heater" and activating that input before
the start command.
The heater function continues for the specified time or until the input is
deactivated, at which time the motor starts. The heater function is disabled if
the:
• parameter 221 [Heating Level] is set to zero, or
• parameter 220 [Heating Time] is set to zero, or
• input is inactive (or not configured) at the time of the start command.
(a) To use terminal block inputs to initiate a Stop Mode, configure the respective input for Start/Stop or Stop Option.
Coast-to-Stop
Set parameter 49 [Starting Mode] = Coast. This is the factory default value.
The Coast-to-Stop command overrides all other commands that could result in
motor operation. When this command is initiated, it is latched into the
controller’s logic so that no other motor command can occur until it is cleared.
It is cleared when all terminal block Start inputs are opened and any other Soft
Stop (Inhibits a Start) input is removed. In a 2-wire control scheme, this
involves placing the Start/Stop input in the Stop position; in a 3-wire control
scheme, this involves opening the Start input.
Soft Stop
Set parameter 65 [Stop Mode] = Soft Stop.
The Soft Stop feature can be used in applications that require an extended stop
time. The voltage ramp down time is user-adjustable from 0…999 seconds
using parameter 66 [Stop Time]. The load stops when the SMC-50 controller
output voltage drops to a point where the load torque is greater than the
developed motor torque.
Stop Time
When parameter 65 [Stop Mode] is configured for Linear Speed, the SMC-50
controller stops the motor following a timed linear speed ramp that is
configured in parameter 66 [Stop Time]. A current limit setting is also available
to limit the current while stopping. If the current limit level is reached, the
motor decelerates faster than the defined ramp. If motor current falls below
the current limit, the ramp is resumed.
100%
When parameter 65 [Stop Mode] is configured for SMB and the Stop Maneuver
is commanded, the SMC-50 controller applies the configured braking current
and brakes the motor to a stop. This function can be used in applications that
require reduced stopping times. The SMC-50 incorporates a microprocessor-
based system that applies braking current to the motor without any additional
equipment. This option offers a user-adjustable braking current setting from
0…400% of the motor’s full-load current rating using parameter 69 [Braking
Current]. It also provides automatic brake current shut-off at zero speed
detection.
Coast-to-Rest
Motor Speed
Stop Time
You must configure an SMC-50 controller control input for Slow Speed to
initiate a slow speed operation. You must configure a second input for Coast or
Stop Option, parameter 56 [Input 1] and parameter 57 [Input 2].
The Slow Speed operating mode requires motor tuning to function properly.
Tuning can be forced manually; it is otherwise performed automatically the
first time the motor is started. See Motor Tuning on page 67.
To provide more precise stopping from a slow speed operation, braking from
slow speed can also be configured using parameter 73 [Slow Brake Cur]. The
maximum allowable brake current is 350% FLC. A value of 0 (default) applies
no braking and a motor coast-to-stop results and slow speed is terminated.

(2) With parameter 73 [Slow Brake Cur] set to 0 (default), the motor coasts-to-stop from Slow Speed. When the value is between
1...350, braking current is applied from Slow Speed.
Accu-Stop™
This function combines the benefits of the SMB and Preset Slow Speed
features. For general-purpose positioning, the Accu-Stop function provides a
brake from full speed to the preset slow speed setting, then a brake or coast-to-
stop.
With the above SMC-50 controller control configuration and with the motor
running, enabling the Slow Speed input initiates an SMB to the value that is
configured in parameter 72 [Slow Speed 1]. The SMC-50 controller continues to
run the motor in slow speed until the Slow Speed input is disabled, At that
point, the motor either brakes to stop or coasts to stop, depending on the value
of parameter 73 [Slow Brake Cur]. If the value of Slow Brake Cur is zero, the
motor coasts to stop from Slow Speed. If the value of Slow Brake Cur is a value
other than zero, the SMC-50 controller uses braking to stop the motor using
that value as a percent of the Motor FLC. See Figure 68, Figure 75, and Table 22.

3 Due to current leakage through an SCR in the OFF state (controller stopped), some form of upstream
line power isolation is recommended if maintenance is required on the motor. See Figure 83 for
details.
4 Bypass must be controlled by an auxiliary contact of the SMC-50 controller that is configured for

5 In North America, size the bypass contactor per the motor Hp and FLA. In IEC applications, size the
bypass contactor per the motor AC-1 rating. The short-circuit rating of the bypass contactor must not
be less than that of the SMC-50 controller.
In addition to a small amount of leakage current flowing through an SCR in the off-
state, failure of one or more solid-state power switching components allows
uncontrolled current to flow to the winding(s) of the motor. This could potentially
result in overheating or damage to the motor. To help prevent potential personal
injury or equipment damage, the installation of an isolation contactor or shunt
trip-type circuit breaker that can interrupt the motor’s locked rotor current on the
line side of the SMC-50 controller is recommended. Operation of the isolation
device should be coordinated using one of the SMC-50 controller auxiliary
contacts that is configured to NORMAL.

When in energy saver operation, the Energy Savings status bit is set. In
addition, parameter 15 [Energy Savings] indicates the percentage energy
savings.
Emergency RUN
With the SMC-50 controller, a control terminal or network (via Comm Control
Word) input can be configured as the Emergency Run command input. All
faults are disabled when this input is active.
The Emergency Run command input does not actually start the unit, but causes
the unit to run in the Emergency Run mode. The Emergency Run command can be
initiated at any time. This command is not latched, which lets you cancel
Emergency Run mode while the unit is still running.
Sequence of Operation Figure 71 through Figure 76 show the different operation sequences for the
Soft Stop, Preset Slow Speed, Pump Control, SMB Smart Motor Braking, Accu-
Stop, and Slow Speed with Braking options.
When control power is present but 3-phase line power is not applied, a valid
START command causes AUX contacts configured for "Normal" to close. While
waiting for 3-phase line power, the SMC-50 controller indicates "Starting". The
start sequence is initiated when 3-phase line power is applied.
ATTENTION: The Energy Savings setting is motor and load dependent. Setting
this to high may cause the unit to enter energy savings too soon and increase
current.

Introduction This chapter describes some extra application considerations for the SMC-50
controller.
Ease of selection for the required line voltage is achieved with a design that
provides operation over a wide voltage range, at 50/60 Hz, within a given
controller rating.
Altitude
Altitudes up to 2000 meters (6560 ft) are permitted without derating. The
allowable ambient temperature for the controller must be de-rated for
altitudes above 2000 meters (6560 ft). Using the SMC Thermal Wizard helps
you to determine the proper size SMC-50 controller.
Pollution
This product is intended for a Pollution Degree 2 environment.
Atmospheric Protection
ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013; Class G3 Environment.
Setup
Simple, easily understood settings provide identifiable, consistent results.
For ease of installation, the controllers include compact design and feed-
through wiring. SMC-50 controllers are global products that are rated at 50/60
Hz. You can use multiple methods to program the controller, including an
optional keypad with LCD display. Expandable inputs/outputs, analog, and
communication cards are available to provide moire control flexibility.
Motor Overload Protection When it is coordinated with the proper short-circuit protection, overload
protection is intended to protect the motor, motor controller, and power
wiring against overheating caused by excessive overcurrent. The SMC-50
controller meets applicable requirements as a motor overload protective
device.
The SMC-50 controller incorporates, as standard, electronic motor overload
protection. This overload protection is accomplished electronically with
circuits and an I2t algorithm.
Multiple Motors
The SMC-50 controller operates with multiple motors connected to it. Motors
should be mechanically coupled. To size the controller, add the total nameplate
amperes of all connected loads. Turn off the stall and jam features. Separate
overloads are still required to meet the National Electric Code (NEC)
requirements.

Special Motors
You can apply or retrofit the SMC-50 controller to special motors (wye-delta,
part winding, synchronous, and wound rotor) as described in the following
paragraphs.
Wye-Delta Motors
M
3~
Part Winding
Wound Rotor
It is not recommended to short the rotor slip rings during startup, because
starting torque is greatly reduced, even with full-voltage applied to the motor.
The starting torque is even further reduced with the SMC-50 controller
because the output voltage to the motor is reduced on startup.
Synchronous
You can activate the motor winding heater after it receives a valid start
command. After a valid start, activate the heating function by programming
parameter 220 [Heating Time] to a nonzero value or by configuring a terminal
block input to “Motor Heater” and activating that input before the start
command. The heater function continues for the specified time or until the
input is deactivated, at which time the motor starts.
The heater function is disabled if parameter 221 [Heating Level] is set to zero or
parameter 220 [Heating Time] is set to zero and the input is inactive (or not
configured) at the time of the start command.
External
You can use an external Bulletin 1410 motor winding heater to achieve the
motor winding heater function.

SMC-50 Controller
Stall Protection and Jam Motors can experience locked rotor currents and develop high torque levels if
there is a stall or a jam. These conditions can result in winding insulation
Detection breakdown or mechanical damage to the connected load.
The SMC-50 controller provides both stall and jam detection for enhanced
motor and system protection. Stall protection lets you program a maximum
stall protection delay time from 0…30 seconds. The stall protection delay time
is in addition to the programmed start time and begins only after the start
time has elapsed.
Jam detection lets you determine the motor jam detection level as a percentage
of the motor’s full-load current rating. To help prevent nuisance tripping, you
can program a jam detection delay time from 0…99 seconds. This lets you select
the time delay that is required before the SMC-50 controller trips on a motor
jam condition. The motor current must remain above the jam detection level
during the delay time. Jam detection is active only after the motor has reached
full speed.
Communication A serial interface port is furnished as standard on the SMC-50 controller. The
connections lets you install a Bulletin 20-COMM communication module.
Using the built-in communication capabilities, You can remotely access
parameter settings, fault diagnostics, and metering. You can also perform
remote start-stop control.
When you use it with the Bulletin 20-COMM communication modules, the
SMC-50 controller offers true networking capabilities with several network
protocols, including Allen-Bradley Ethernet, Remote I/O, DeviceNet network,
RS-485, ControlNet™, PROFIBUS, and Interbus.
Power Monitoring There are many ways in which you can use power data that is provided by the
SMC-50 controller. These include helping to indicate when system
maintenance is required, faulty equipment, pump application function, or
monitoring power parameters for energy savings. Real, Reactive, and
Apparent power calculations (along with demand and maximum demand) are
made on each line power phase along with a total for all three phases.
Power Factor is calculated for each phase along with a total power factor value.
The power factor calculation does not apply during Slow Speed and Braking
operations.

2 Open contactor before initiating a stop command
Altitude De-rating Because of the decreased efficiency of fans and heatsinks, it is necessary to de-
rate the SMC-50 controller above 6500 feet (approximately 2000 meters). For
operation at 2000…7000 meters (6560…22965 feet), use the Thermal Wizard.
You can find the Thermal Wizard at rok.auto/pcdc under the Tools menu in
ProposalWorks software.
Depending on the tool you use, your display may differ from what is shown.
You must keep the motor FLA Rating within the current range of the SMC-50
controller.
Isolation Contactor When it is installed with branch circuit protection and an overcurrent device,
the SMC-50 controller is compatible with the National Electrical Code (NEC).
When an isolation contactor is not used, hazardous voltages are present at the
load terminals of the power module even when the controller is turned off. you
must attach warning labels that indicate this hazard to the motor terminal box,
the controller enclosure, and the control station.
The isolation contactor carries only the load current under normal conditions.
During start, the isolation contactor is energized before the SCRs are gated
“on.” While stopping, the SCRs are gated “off” before the isolation contactor is
de-energized. The isolation contactor does not make or break the load current.

The internal bypass contactor is used after the soft starter has brought the
motor up to speed. The algorithm of the soft starter determines when the
motor is up to speed and then transitions from SCR control to the bypass
contactor. Rockwell Automation offers a hybrid soft starter that has the power
structure of a solid-state starter and an internal bypass contactor.
When you use an internal bypass soft starter, you only need power and control
wiring. You do not need to purchase any additional devices. Internal bypass on
a soft starter is suitable for conveyors, fans, pumps, and other applications
where the current and speed does not change while at speed.

Branch Protection
Soft starters can use internal or external bypass contactors. Depending on the
application, an external bypass can be a better choice than an internal bypass.
In some cases, because of application considerations, a soft starter can have an
internal bypass, but be configured to use auxiliary contacts/outputs to control
an external bypass.
Applications that are good for external bypass contactors are those where you
need a soft start, but while in run mode, current may spike due to product jams
or plugging. For example, in a rock-crushing application, there is a high
chance of jamming material in a hopper, which causes current spikes. A soft
starter with an internal bypass contactor monitors current and may typically
drop out of bypass to protect the contactor and return to SCR control. After the
current returns to normal, the bypass contactor is pulled back in. This cycling
on and off could shorten the life of an internal electromechanical contactor.
Not having all protective features of the soft starter during the run mode may
be a benefit to keep an application like rock crushing working. In that
application, using an external bypass contactor that is fully rated to handle the
current surges keeps the contactor pulled in until a stop command is given or
an overload is tripped. External overloads may be needed to protect the motor
because some soft starters may not be able to read motor data while in external
bypass mode.
In UL/CSA regulated regions, size the bypass contactor according to the motor
Hp and FLA. In IEC-regulated regions, size the bypass conductor per the AC-1
rated bypass contactor rating.
106 Rockwell Automation Publication 150-UM011E-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 4 Special Application Considerations
The Hp ratings of the AC-3 rated bypass contactor must match the Hp ratings
of the SMC-50 soft starter. The short-circuit ratings of the bypass contactor
must not be less than those of the SMC-50 soft starter. This is important for the
AC-1 rated bypass contactor selection.
Notes:
Overview The SMC-50 controller provides both diagnostic and protection functions.
Control these functions via user-configured parameters that provide motor
and starter alarm and faults. You can individually enable or disable each
configurable alarm and fault. Many alarms and faults also have a user-defined
time delay to help limit nuisance tripping. A fault condition shuts down the
controller. You can use an alarm to alert an operator to a pending fault. You
can individually configure motor and starter faults for automatic reset/restart
after configuring the number of restart attempts and restart time delay.
Restart attempts and restart delay are universal to all faults. See page 135 for
additional details.
A multi-colored (red, green, amber) LED status indicator is on the front of the
SMC-50 controller directly below the bezel/pocket for the 20-HIM-A6.

keypad. For more details about the diagnostic use of these tools, see
Chapter 10.
To simplify identifying the source of a DPI port related fault or alarm, the
SMC-50 controller displays the DPI port number when posting the fault or
alarm number.
EXAMPLE If a 150-SM4 Digital I/O Option Module is in the SMC-50 controller DPI
Port 7 and is the source of a fault, port number 7 is displayed with the
fault code (for example, Port 7, fault code 26 is displayed as 7026).
Because there are more than 32 faults and alarms, the configuration bits are in
the lower and upper 16-bit fields (numbered 0…31) of the associated SMC-50
controller parameters. The bits are divided into starter faults and motor faults.
Table 28 and Table 29 provide an overview of the motor and starter fault and
alarm enable parameters. All bits are read (R) and write (W) enabled.
The 150-SM2 Option Module has individually enabled faults and alarms
associated with the ground fault and motor PTC functions, which are shown in
Table 30.

Protection and Diagnostics The following section describes the SMC-50 controller protection and
diagnostic functions.
Parameter 18 [Motor Therm Usage], Motor Thermal Usage (MTU), displays the
percentage of the motor overload currently utilized. The SMC-50 controller
overload fault trips the motor when (1) the motor overload fault is enabled and
(2) the MTU reaches 100%.
The overload function calculates and provides motor overload data via:
• parameter 18 [Motor Therm Usage],
• parameter 19 [Time to OL Trip], and
• parameter 20 [Time to OL Reset].
Overload Alarm
An overload alarm is also available. The desired value or level of the alarm is
configured with parameter 83 [Overload A Level], which can be set from
0…100%. When the MTU value reaches the set percentage of the thermal trip
level, then the alarm becomes active. When the MTU value falls below the set
percentage of the thermal trip level, the alarm becomes inactive.
Parameter 18 [Motor Therm Usage] provides the current motor thermal usage
value. This parameter reads from 0…200%, where 100% corresponds to a fault
condition.
(a) Trip Class is defined as the maximum time in seconds for an overload trip to occur when the motor’s operating current is six times its rated
current. The SMC-50 controller overload function offers an adjustable Trip Class range of 5...30, which can be programmed in increments of
one via parameter 75 [Overload Class] and parameter 76 [Overload Class 2] (configuration for a second overload Class).

Parameter 81 [OL Shunt Time] allows disabling (shunt) the overload at the
beginning of the start cycle. This parameter defines the length of time that the
overload is disabled (shunted). The motor overload does not accumulate data
(MTU) during this period.
You can configure the SMC-50 controller to automatically reset the overload
fault when it has cooled to the level that is set in parameter 80 [OL Reset Level].
You must enable parameter 264 [Motor Restart En] (Overload = Set) to allow
the Overload Reset Level parameter to function.
Motor current less than a specific level may indicate a mechanical malfunction
in the installation (for example, a torn conveyor belt, damaged fan blade,
broken shaft, or worn tool). Such conditions may not harm the motor, but can
lead to loss of production. Rapid underload fault detection helps to minimize
damage and loss of production.
Underload Fault current protection, fault code 22, is enabled or disabled via the
motor Underload Enable/Disable bit in parameter 230 [Motor Fault En].
Configure the value or level of the fault current by using parameter 86
[Underload F Lvl]. A configurable fault delay time using parameter 87
[Underload F Dly] is also available to help eliminate nuisance faults.
Underload Alarm
The SMC-50 controller can protect against low line power voltage. The
undervoltage fault, fault code 20, provides protection from a line power
undervoltage condition. An undervoltage fault condition exists if the average
of parameter 46 [Line Voltage] falls below the user-defined voltage level in
parameter 98 [Undervolt F Lvl]. See Table 34
Undervoltage Alarm
An undervoltage alarm is also available. Set this exactly like the fault, using
parameter 100 [Undervolt A Lvl] and parameter 101 [Undervolt A Dly]. The
undervoltage alarm is enabled or disabled via the Undervoltage Enable/Disable
bit in parameter 137 [Starter Alarm En].

The SMC-50 controller can protect against high line power voltage. The
overvoltage fault, fault code 19, provides protection from a line power
overvoltage condition. An overvoltage condition exists if the average of the
three-phase line voltage exceeds a user-defined percent above that level
(parameter 102 [Overvolt F Lvl]) for a user-defined time, "Overvolt F Dly"
(parameter 103 [Overvolt F Dly]). See Table 35.
Overvoltage Alarm
The current imbalance calculation is equal to the largest deviation of the three
current signals (RMS phase current) from the average phase current, divided
by the average phase current. The power pole current is used for the current
imbalance calculation.
A current imbalance fault condition, fault code 42, occurs when the calculated
imbalance level rises above a user-defined level, Current Imbalance Fault Level,
for a user-defined time, Current Imbalance Fault Delay. See Table 36.
A current imbalance alarm is also available. Set this exactly like the current
imbalance fault, using parameter 112 [Cur Imbal A Lvl] and parameter 113 [Cur
Imbal A Dly]. You can enable or disable the current imbalance alarm by using
the Current Imbalance bit in parameter 231 [Motor Alarm En].

unbalance detection helps extend the motor life expectancy and minimize
potential damage and loss of production.
The voltage unbalance (Vu) calculation is equal to the largest deviation (Vd) of
the three-phase voltage signals (RMS phase voltage) from the average of the
RMS phase voltage (Vave), divided by the average voltage.

for a user-defined time, Voltage Unbalance Fault Delay. See Table 37 on
page 119.
A voltage unbalance alarm is also available. Set this up exactly like the fault by
using the Voltage Unbalance Alarm Level and Voltage Unbalance Alarm Delay
parameters. Enable or disable this voltage unbalance alarm by using the

The SMC-50 controller provides fault protection, cault code 25, against reverse
connection (CBA) of line power phases.
You can enable or disable phase reversal protection via the "Phase Rev" bit in
parameter 136 [Starter Fault En]. There are no phase reversal fault parameters
to configure.
A phase reversal alarm is also available and enabled via the "Phase Rev" bit in
parameter 137 [Starter Alarm En]. There are no alarm parameters to configure.
High and low frequency limits for both faults and alarms are configured
through the parameters listed in Table 38. Each parameter also has a
programmable delay to limit spurious trips.
The high/low frequency fault, code 49, is enabled or disabled using the
frequency bit "Freq" in parameter 136 [Starter Fault En].
Frequency Alarm
Because the beginning of the Linear Speed starting mode is an open-loop voltage
control, the actual starting time may vary depending on the motor load. For this
reason (and to avoid nuisance faults), the SMC-50 controller automatically adds a
time to the configured starting ramp time before the stall timer begins to count.
The time factor is 50% of the configured start ramp time.
Enable or disable stall fault protection via the "Stall" bit in parameter 230
[Motor Fault En].
Stall Alarm
You can also enable a stall alarm, which activates under the same condition as
the stall fault. In this case, the alarm is cleared after the motor leaves the
starting state (for example, is UTS, is stopped, or faulted).
Enable or disable the stall alarm via the "Stall" bit in parameter 231 [Motor
Alarm En].

The SMC-50 controller Jam Fault, Fault Code 23, provides detection of a motor
jam. A jam condition exists if the motor current rises above a user-defined level
for a user-defined time while in the run mode.
Parameter 114 [Jam F Lvl] is a percentage of the motor’s FLC that is set via
parameter 78 [Motor FLC]. If the actual motor current rises above the Jam
Fault Level (parameter 114 [Jam F Lvl]) for a time equal to the value that is set in
parameter 115 [Jam F Dly] (Jam Fault Delay), a fault is generated. See Table 40
and Figure 91. Jam protection is enabled or disabled using the Jam bit in
parameter 230 [Motor Fault En].
Jam Alarm
A jam alarm is also available. Set this up like the fault, using Jam Alarm Level
and Jam Alarm Delay, parameter 116 [Jam A Lvl] and parameter 117 [Jam A Dly].

You can program the SMC-50 controller to limit the maximum number of
starter/motor starts within a sliding one-hour time window. After the number
of starts per hour is reached as you have configured it in parameter 128 [Starts
per Hour], any additional starts cause an Excessive Starts fault, fault code 29.
You can enable or disable this fault by using the Starts/Hr bit in parameter 230
[Motor Fault En].
A Starts Per Hour alarm is also available. You can enable or disable this alarm
by using the Starts/Hr bit in parameter 231 [Motor Alarm En]. The Starts per
Hour fault and alarm are activated when the starts within the last hour exceed
the value configured in parameter 128 [Starts per Hour]. The starts count value
is cleared when the starts in the previous hour are less than or equal to the

SCR Overtemperature—Fault
The SMC-50 controller can detect whether any one of its SCRs has reached an
over temperature condition, which could indicate excessive current draw or
excessive number of starts. This function is accomplished using an I2t
calculation. There are no SCR Overtemperature parameters for you to
configure. The SCR Overtemperature fault is always enabled. There is no SCR
Overtemperature alarm.
For SMC-50 controllers with internal bypass, you can wire the fans directly to
the power source. In this case, the fans run constantly. You could also wire an
auxiliary to control the fans. Fan control is selected and then the fans are
controlled in the same manner as with the solid-state units.
The Open SCR Gate fault is enabled and disabled using the Open Gate bit in
parameter 136 [Starter Fault En]. The Open SCR Gate alarm is enabled and
disabled in parameter 137 [Starter Alarm En].
Open Bypass—Phase A, B, or C
• Open Bypass Phase A (Code 13)
• Open Bypass Phase B (Code 14)
• Open Bypass Phase C (Code 15)
The SMC-50 controller monitors the power pole bypass contacts for proper
operation. If a contact closure is not sensed, the SMC-50 controller indicates
an open bypass fault in the appropriate phase.
problems that are not detected by other line monitoring functions. There are
no user-configurable Power Quality fault or alarm parameters to configure.
Phase A, B, and C Power Quality equates to fault codes 52, 53, or 54 respectively.
You can enable or disable this by using the Power Quality bit in parameter 230
[Motor Fault En].
You can also enable or disable a Power Quality alarm by using the Power
Quality bit in parameter 231 [Motor Alarm En].
Power Quality THDV Fault (Code 55) and Power Quality THDI Fault (Code 56)—Fault and
Alarm
The SMC-50 controller lets you read power line THD which is the average of 32
line frequency harmonics. The calculation for THDI and THDV (THDx) is:
(THD22 + THD23…THD231)
THDx =
THD1
Excessive THD indicates a problem in the power source and/or the application.
This can have an adverse effect on the performance of the overall system. THD
fault and alarm parameters are available for both voltage THDV and current
THD I. A fault and alarm delay time and a level are also available to configure
each of these parameters.

The Locked Rotor fault, fault code 70, provides indication that the rotor of the
motor under SMC-50 controller control and operating in any running mode
(for example, Slow Speed) has become frozen or locked.
The Locked Rotor fault is similar to the Jam fault except it is active during all
running modes, not just at full speed.
The value or level of the Locked Rotor fault is configured as a percentage of the
motor FLC using parameter 84 [Locked Rtr F Lvl]. A configurable delay time
using parameter 85 [Locked Rtr F Dly] is also available to help eliminate
nuisance faults.
Locked Rotor protection is enabled or disabled via the Locked Rotor bit in
parameter 230 [Motor Fault En].
You can also enable a Locked Rotor alarm that activates under the same
condition as the Locked Rotor Fault. The Locked Rotor alarm is enabled or
disabled via the Locked Rotor bit in parameter 231 [Motor Alarm En].

For physical DPI devices that support this function, the fault is generated only
when the associated bit is set in parameter 149 [Logic Mask Act].
IMPORTANT Confirm that all line and control power is removed from the SMC-50
controller before you remove or install any expansion or
communication module.
This fault code is generated directly by any option module or DPI device and is
separate from the Expansion Device Removed fault (control module
generated). This fault is always enabled (user cannot disable) in the control
module. Individual option modules or DPI devices may enable or disable these
faults as needed.
An RTC Battery Low alarm, Code 69, provides indication of a control module
battery low condition. This condition is checked upon powerup of the control
module. The battery maintains the operation of the control module’s RTC
when the control power is removed. After the alarm is posted, the battery
should be replaced as soon as possible. This alarm cannot be disabled.
To clear this alarm, you must replace the battery and set the time/date by using
a HIM or applicable PC software (for example, Connected Components
Workbench software). See Appendix D for battery replacement instructions.
By setting the Configuration Change bit in parameter 136 [Starter Fault En],
any change to the controller configuration results in a Configuration Change
fault, fault code 57. An alarm can also be initiated by setting the "Config
Change" bit in parameter 137 [Starter Alarm En]. The fault can be cleared
immediately; the alarm clears upon the next motor start command.
I/O Configuration—Fault
The SMC-50 controller generates an I/O Configuration fault, fault code 61, if
any control input is programmed as a Start or Slow Speed command and no
input is configured for Coast or Stop. The fault occurs when the Start or
operational maneuver is attempted (the motor does not start). This fault also
generates when an input configuration changes from:
1. one that cannot start the motor to one that can start the motor OR
2. an input that can stop the motor to one that cannot.
The NVS Error fault, fault code 34, is posted if a read/write checksum error
occurs within the user data portion of the SMC-50 controller’s nonvolatile
memory. This fault can only be cleared if you modify/store a parameter value
(this requires changing any parameter). It is recommended that you perform a
Load Defaults command to make sure that all controller parameters are within
range. you cannot clear this error by cycling the SMC-50 controller power.
You can access the alarm buffer via the Diagnostic screen of a 20-HIM-A6,
20-HIM-C6S, or from the Device Fault/Alarm button of Connected
Components Workbench software. The alarm buffer stores the most recent
100 events, with the most recent event numbered as 1 (HIM) or 1.1 (software) in
the list. Along with the alarm code, the date and time that the event occurred
are also listed.
The date and time information is obtained from the SMC-50 controller’s RTC. Make
sure that the RTC is set correctly.
The last five alarm events are also available via parameters 143…147. Storing
this alarm history in the parameter list provides access by any networked
device. The alarm/event date and time are not available from the parameter
list.

Auto Restart from Fault This function allows the SMC-50 controller to automatically restart from
various starter or motor fault conditions. Auto Restart from Fault is
Function individually bit enabled or disabled using parameter 135 [Strtr Restart En] or
parameter 264 [Motor Restart En]. See Table 58 on page 136.
Parameter 133 [Restart Attempts] lets you define the allowable number of
restart attempts from the fault before ending the retry process. The Retry
Counter clears whenever the controller receives a valid Stop command.
In addition, parameter 134 [Restart Dly] lets you define a time delay from when
the fault event occurred until a restart attempt can be effective.
This delay is not used with an overload fault. Instead, the restart attempt occurs
when the value of parameter 18 [Motor Therm Usage] falls below that of
parameter 80 [OL Reset Level].

The Basic parameter set in the setup group is limited, yet powerful. It lets you
quickly start the system with minimal adjustments and provides quick access
to parameters that are required for standard motor connection and overload
protection. If you are using advanced controller features (for example, Dual
Ramp, Braking), however, you must also use the parameter set that is
associated with those features. The Setup group is used throughout this
section as a baseline for system configuration.
IMPORTANT Parameter values that are modified while the motor is operating are
not valid until the next time the operation for that parameter occurs.
ATTENTION: For Overload Protection, it is critical that you enter the data into
the SMC-50 controller as it appears on the motor nameplate.

To provide a Full Voltage Start to the motor, the only start parameter that
requires adjustment is the Starting Mode. The Basic parameter set should be
used to program Full Voltage Start to ensure configuration of other motor
configuration and basic protection parameters. Use the parameters in Table 68
to program a Full Voltage Start and Stop Mode operation. Access the basic
parameter set with the HIM (see page 168).
ATTENTION: For Overload Protection, it is critical that you enter the data
into the SMC-50 controller as it appears on the motor nameplate.
The Stop mode selected in the Basic parameter set applies to both start profiles.
The Basic parameter set provides the method to select between the operation of
Start Profile 1 and Start Profile 2 by configuration of Input 1 or Input 2 to the Dual
Ramp. If the input configured for Dual Ramp is open (low), Start Profile 1 is
selected. If the input is closed (high), Profile 2 is selected.
Configure Start Profile 2 by using the Dual Ramp parameter set. You can use
the HIM to access Dual Ramp from the <Port 00> DEV PARAM folder (see
page 168). Use the parameters in Table 69 to program a Dual Ramp adjustment.

(1) Torque Ramp and Linear Speed Starting modes require you to perform a Motor Tuning Cycle. The SMC-50 controller does this automatically the first time the motor is run. You can also force
this manually by setting parameter 194 [Forced Tuning] to TRUE (=1), which is accessed from the File Setup, Group Adv. Tuning or by pressing and holding the SMC-50 controller’s Reset
button for 10 seconds with the motor stopped.
(2) You can also program a start delay time and applies to both Start Profile 1 and Start Profile 2. The Start Delay parameter can be accessed from the Group Starting selection (see Table 62).
(3) Enter a value to limit the current but not low enough to inhibit the start cycle.
(4) Available for Soft Start, Current Limit, and Torque Start modes. Set to zero to disable Kickstart.
Start Options
The motor winding heater can be activated after it receives a valid Start
command by either programming parameter 220 [Heating Time] to a non-
zero value or by configuring a terminal block input to Motor Heater and
activating that input before the Start command. The Motor Winding Heater
function continues for the specified time or until the Motor Heater Input is
deactivated, at which time the motor starts based on the previous Start
command signal. The Motor Winding Heater function is disabled if parameter
221 [Heating Level] is set to zero, parameter 220 [Heating Time] is set to zero,
or the Input is inactive (or not configured) at the time of the Start command.
To program the Motor Winding Heater function, use the File Setup, Group
Basic parameter list to configure the motor and most of the Start/Stop
functions. See any of the previous programming sections for details based on
the selected Start mode. The two key parameters (Heating Time and Heating
Level), however, are in the File Setup Group Starting parameter list. See
Table 62 for a basic understanding of accessing the Starting group. See
Table 70 for heating parameter information.
Stop Options
To use the SMB function, the Stopping file group parameter set must be
selected from FILE Setup group using the HIM (see Table 62).
Table 71 - SMB Parameters

Stop Mode Lets you select the Stop Mode. The mode must be SMB SMB
programmed for SMB.
NOT used for SMB. SMB automatically controls the
duration (stop time) of the braking current to the

shutoff feature/function). (1)
The amount of braking current to be applied to the

motor.
The amount of time that must expire before another
Start cycle can occur. The timer begins after the Stop
maneuver is completed. All Start commands are
Backspin Timer ignored until the timer has expired. If the Start 0...999 seconds 0s
command is momentary and ends before the timer
has expired, the motor does not start. This is used to
prevent starting a motor that is still cycling.
(1) Programming a nonzero value for Stop Time overrides the SMB zero-speed detection feature/function and uses the exact
time programmed for Stop Time to apply the programmed Braking Current to the motor. Doing this is useful in applications
where detecting zero-speed is difficult (for example, a specific motor type or when the purpose is to reduce the number of
overload trips associated with driving the motor to a complete stop). Setting the Stop Time to a specific value turns off
braking current at a set time and each time a stopping maneuver is performed. To achieve an ideal Stop Time setting, use
trial and error and always allow for some small coast time.
Setting the Stop Time to a longer duration causes braking current to be applied to
a stopped motor and can result in overload trips.
To use the Slow Speed with Braking feature, use the HIM. Navigate from the
Port 00 DEV PARAM folder: File-Group, File: Setup, Group: Slow Speed. See
Table 62 for detailed information.
Accu-Stop
This function combines the benefits of SMB and Preset Slow Speed features.
For general-purpose positioning, the Accu-Stop function provides a brake
from full speed to the preset slow speed setting, then a brake from Slow Speed
or a Coast-to-Stop.
To program Accu-Stop with the HIM, Setup Group Slow Speed and Setup
Group Stopping must be used. See the two previous programming sections,
SMB—Smart Motor Braking and Slow Speed with Braking.
Motor Protection The Motor Protection Group (see Table 75) is used to program motor and
starter protection functions. The Motor Protection Group is accessed from the
HIM using the Port 00 DEV PARAM folder under the File-Group, File: Motor
Protection selection sequence. By using this file group, the SMC-50 controller
lets you individually enable, disable, or restart the motor and starter faults and
alarms. Each of the 21 different Motor/Starter Protection Setup groups (for

Parameters that are configured by the PCM and whose values represent the
switch settings appear as read/write parameters to other configuration
devices. The parameter values set by the PCM are stored in the control module
memory. By using the appropriate removal procedure (remove all power to
Control Module and Power Module), you can remove the PCM from the control
module and retain its parameter settings.
You can configure parameters that are not defined and therefore are not
configurable by the Cat. No. 150-SM6 PCM through other means (for example,
Human Interface Module (HIM), Connected Components Workbench
software, or DriveExecutive software), if necessary.
• The 150-SM6 can only configure the on-board control I/O of the Control
Module. If additional I/O are added by using a 150-SM4 Digital I/O
Option Module, you must configure those I/O with another
programming tool.
When using a Cat. No. 150-SM6 PCM to configure the SMC-50 controller, the
following features, functions, and modes are not configurable:
• Full voltage start
• Torque ramp start
• External brake stop
• Option card I/O configuration (Cat. No. 150-SM… option modules)
• External bypass
• Specialized output relay configuration (for example, network control,
DeviceLogix, auxiliary control)
• Specialized operation modes/features
- Dual ramp, motor winding heater, emergency run
- Overload select (Class)
- Adjustment of slow speed setpoint
If the PCM is removed, another configuration tool (for example, a HIM) can change
a parameter that was previously altered by an installed PCM.

The 150-SM6 PCM contains five rotary switches, S1 through S5, each with
designations 0-F and three banks of ON/OFF 8-switch DIP switches.
Table 87 through Table 91 show the resulting values of the position setting
functions for each of the five rotary switches and the associated controller
parameter numbers. For details on the functions of these parameters, see
Chapter 3, 5, 7, and Appendix A.

• If the calculated value does not match a switch position, use the previous (lower
percent) switch setting.
• You can select the inside-the-delta motor configuration using parameter 44 [Motor
Config] or automatically during a controller tuning process. The tuning process is
done during the initial system start after changing any of the tuning parameters
and initializing a start or by pressing and holding the SMC-50 controller reset push
button for at least 10 seconds with the motor stopped and then initializing a start.
If another configuration device is available (for example, a 20-HIM-A6 or PC
software such as Connected Components Workbench), changing parameter 194
[Forced Tuning] to TRUE or resetting the controller to "Default" also results in
tuning to occur.
Table 92 through Table 94 define the functions for the three banks of ON/OFF
8-switch DIP switches. Each of the three banks is defined by a high level,
functional name with each switch having a unique function.
• With the “Automatic Zero Speed Detection” method, the controller applies the user-
selected “Braking Current” defined by the Device Configuration Switch Bank.
Switch #6, #7, and #8 senses a motor “Zero Speed” condition and automatically
stops the braking process (brake current OFF).
• With the “Timed Brake” method, the user-selected “Braking Current” is applied for
the user-configured “Stop Time” regardless of the motor speed (for example,
“Automatic Zero Speed Detection” disabled). The “Timed Brake” method can be
used in applications where detecting zero speed is ineffective or when braking the
motor to a complete stop results in random overload trips. With this method,
braking is applied for a fixed time equal to the "Stop Time" setting (Rotary Switch
S4) and multiplied by ten. An ideal "Stop Time" setting can be determined by trial
and error, but should always allow for some coast time. Setting the "Stop Time" for
too long of a time can result in braking current to be applied to a stopped motor
and can result in overload trips.
Notes:
Metering
Overview While the SMC-50 operates a motor, it is also monitoring several different
parameters to provide a full-function metering package.
Viewing Metering Data To access the metering information using the 20-HIM-A6, use the keypad to
follow the procedure below.
1. From the SMC-50 controller standard power-up screen, select FOLDERS.
2. Use the right or left arrow until the Port 00 DEV PARAM screen is
displayed.
Confirm that you have selected Advanced Access Level at the bottom of the DEV
PARAM screen. For additional configuration details, see page 140.
3. From the Port 00 DEV PARAM screen, select File-Group, then press the
ENTER key (number 5 on the keypad). The Port 00 Param File-Group
screen appears.
4. Use the up or down Arrow key to select File Monitoring. The Port 00
Param File-Group File Monitoring screen appears with seven GROUP
metering selections (Metering Basics, Metering Volts, Metering Current,
Metering Power, Start Stats. Monitoring, Power Quality).

specific parameter you wish to clear.
EXAMPLE To clear (reset to 0) the Elapsed Time, configure Meter Reset to Elapsed
Time. The controller then clears the Elapsed Time and the value of
Meter Reset returns to Ready 0.
Voltage
Line-to-line and line-to-neutral RMS voltage is calculated for all three phases
with the average of the three voltages also provided. The data is provided
whenever 3-phase power is applied.
The accuracy of the voltage calculations is ±2% of the true RMS voltage.
Torque
The SMC-50 controller calculates true electromechanical torque based on the
existing motor voltage and current feedback data.
• During Braking and Slow Speed operations, Torque reads 0.
• For the Torque parameter to display correctly, the motor value for parameter 47
[Rated Torque] and parameter 48 [Rated Speed] must be correctly configured.
The accuracy of the torque calculations is ±10% of the true electromechanical
torque.
Table 97 - Metering Parameters Associated with Torque
Parameter Number Name/Description Min/Max Value Default Value Access Units
9 Torque -50...3000 0 R %
Power
Real, Reactive, and Apparent power calculations (along with demand and
maximum demand) are made on each line power phase along with a total for
all three phases.
The Energy parameters can be cleared using parameter 16 [Meter Reset]. See
Resetting Metering Parameters on page 181 for further details.
For Reactive Energy, parameter 278 [Reactive Energy C] and parameter 279
[Reactive Energy P], the system keeps a:
• positive energy, which only integrates power when it is positive;
• negative energy, which only integrates power when it is negative; and
• net energy, which always integrates.
The demand numbers are calculated as follows:
• Energy is calculated over a time defined by parameter 290 [Demand
Period].
• The previous "n" period values are averaged and the result is written to
the Demand, parameter 272 [Real Demand], parameter 281 [Reactive
Demand] and parameter 288 [Apparent Demand]. This result is used in
calculating the Max Demand values. This averaging uses a rolling
window algorithm where the previous "n" periods are averaged.
Power Factor
Power Factor is calculated for each phase along with a total power factor value.
The power factor calculation does not apply during Slow Speed and Braking
operations.

Energy Savings
The energy saver function only applies during light motor load situations, at
which time the SMC-50 controller reduces current to the motor and thereby
saves energy.
When it is in energy saver operation, the controller sets the Energy Savings
status bit. Parameter 15 [Energy Savings] indicates the percentage energy
savings.
You should also monitor and record the value of parameter 17 [Power Factor]
when the motor is running at no/light load and at full/heavy load. The power
factor value where the controller enters Energy Saver mode is determined by
setting parameter 193 [Energy Saver] to a value between the no/light load and
full/heavy load recorded values.
Table 100 - Energy Saver Mode Parameter List
Parameter Number Parameter Name Min/Max Value Default Value Access Units
15 Energy Savings 0…100 0…100 R %
17 Power Factor -1.00…1.00 -1.00…1.00 R —
193 Energy Saver 0.00…1.00 0.00 R/W —
Elapsed Time
The SMC-50 controller keeps a log of the total accumulated hours the
controlled motor has been running via parameter 12 [Elapsed Time]. The
Elapsed Time meter value is updated every 10 minutes and stored at power
down (accurate to 1/6 of an hour). The Elapsed Time meter accumulates to
50,000 hours of operation and can be reset to zero via parameter 16 [Meter
Reset] (see Resetting Metering Parameters on page 181).
Running Time
Parameter 14 [Running Time] logs the amount of time the motor has been
operating. The timer resets to zero and begins counting as each start
command is received.
When the SMC-50 controller is stopped, the parameter displays the length of time
the motor was previously operating.
Motor Speed
Parameter 34 [Motor Speed] is only valid when using the Linear Speed Starting
or Linear Speed Stopping modes. It provides the estimated motor speed
during either the starting or stopping maneuver. When the SMC-50 controller
is not in these modes, Parameter 34 [Motor Speed] reads zero except when the
unit is at speed. In this case, the parameter displays 100%.
Table 103 - Metering Parameters Associated with Motor Speed
Parameter Number Name/Description Min/Max Value Default Value Access Units
34 Motor Speed 0...100 0.0 R %
Total Starts
The SMC-50 controller maintains a Total Start counter that is incremented
each time the controller is started (parameter 23 [Total Starts]). As shipped, the
counter value is zero. You cannot reset it.
The Total Starts counter is not incremented if the controller faults on a pre-start
fault. It increments after SCR gating begins.
The controller algorithm uses a round-robin approach to gather the six signals
by sampling one signal and then calculating the THD value for that signal. In
other words, each power cycle current and voltage THD are calculated for a
phase, then for the next phase, and so on.
(a) When in external bypass running mode/configuration, you can use an external CT (825-MCM) and a 150-SM2 Option Module to read
current-based (THD Ix) values.
186 Rockwell Automation Publication 150-UM011E-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 7 Metering
When the motor is not running, the Current-Based THD values read 0.
Line Frequency
The SMC-50 controller measures and displays the system 3-phase AC Line
Frequency. Upon powerup, parameter 224 [Line Frequency] displays zero until
a valid AC Line Frequency is measured. When three-phase power is removed
from the SMC-50 controller, the parameter maintains the value of the previous
frequency reading.
Table 108 - Metering Parameters Associated with Line Frequency
Parameter Number Name/Description Min/Max Value Default Value Access Units
224 Line Frequency 0...100 0 R Hz
Current Imbalance
The SMC-50 controller provides a calculated Current Imbalance value
(parameter 295 [Current Imbal]). The Current Imbalance calculation is equal to
the largest deviation of the three RMS phase current signals from the average
RMS phase current, divided by the average. The SMC-50 controller Power Pole
Current is used for the Current Imbalance calculation.
Table 109 - Metering Parameters Associated with Current Imbalance

295 Current Imbalance 0...100 0 R %
Voltage Unbalance
The SMC-50 controller provides a calculated Voltage Unbalance value
(parameter 296 [Voltage Imbal]). The Voltage Unbalance calculation is equal to
the largest deviation of the three RMS phase voltage signals from the average
RMS phase voltage divided by the average. The phase-to-neutral voltage is used
in the calculation for voltage unbalance.

Notes:
Overview The SMC-50 controller offers various unique control options that provide
enhanced motor starting and stopping capabilities.
HIM Control Buttons The control buttons available with the Bulletin 20-HIM-A6 LCD modules are
compatible with the control options on the controller. Table 111, Table 112, and
Table 113 detail the functionality of each control button. For additional details
on using the 20-HIM-A6, see the user manual, publication 20HIM-UM001.
IMPORTANT You must enable the logic mask port before you initiate control
commands except for Stop, which always initiate a Coast-to-Stop
command. See page 194 for instructions.
The control terminals must be wired according to Figure 33or Figure 44.
ATTENTION: The Bulletin 20-HIM-A6 LCD module’s stop push button is not
intended to be used as an emergency stop. See applicable standards for
emergency stop requirements.
Preset Slow Speed The red stop button provides a coast stop and/or resets a fault.
Pump Control The red stop button provides a coast stop, and/or resets a fault.
Displays the Control Screen with the Jog button. The jog button
initiates a pump stop maneuver.
Smart Motor Braking The red stop button provides a coast stop, and/or resets a fault.
Displays the Control Screen with the Jog button. The jog button
initiates a brake stop.
Accu-Stop(1) The red stop button provides a coast stop, and/or resets a fault.
Displays the Control Screen with the Jog button. The jog button
initiates braking to slow speed operation. The controller maintains
slow speed operation as long as the jog button is pressed.
Slow Speed with The red stop button provides a coast stop, and/or resets a fault.
Braking
Displays the Control Screen with the Jog button. The jog button
initiates a brake stop from slow speed.
* Slow Speed cannot be operated via the HIM.
(1) Accu-Stop is not included as a parameter/function. However, Accu-Stop is accomplished with the Stop option and Slow Speed
with Braking.
IMPORTANT To navigate from the Control Screen to another HIM menu screen, you
must press the ESC soft key. This deactivates the Control Screen and

Notes:
Communications
Communication Ports The SMC-50 controller supports four DPI ports for communication. Port 1 is
for the front-mounted (bezel) Human Interface Module (HIM). Ports 2 and 3
are supported through the serial connection on the top of the device and are
typically used to interface with a door mounted HIM or a PC. Port 2 is the
default connection with port 3 available by installing a splitter on port 2. DPI
Port 4 is supported by connecting one of the communication cards listed in
Table 116 to the internal DPI communication card connection (SMC-50
controller hardware controller port 9).
HIM Keypad and Displays You can program the SMC-50 controller with the optional Bulletin 20-HIM-A6
LCD display. Parameters are organized in a multi-level menu structure and are
divided into programming groups.
Top View
DPI Port 2
(Port 2 and 3 if you use a splitter)
Control Enable Parameter 148 [Logic Mask] lets you configure whether a communication
device (HIM or network connection) can perform motor control commands
such as starting. Each communication port (1 through 4) can be enabled (bit= 1)
or disabled (bit = 0) as required. When a given device is enabled through the
logic mask that device is allowed to execute control commands. Disconnecting
any device with the logic mask enabled results in an Exp Removed (X026)(a)
communication fault. You can disconnect a device that is disabled through the
logic mask without causing a fault(b)
(a) When a given device is disabled through the logic mask that device cannot execute control commands, but can still be used for
configuration and monitoring. X = DPI port number of the device causing the Fault.
(b) If a 20-HIM-A6 is enabled for control via the Logic Mask, it can still be removed using the HIM control screen. See Chapter 8.
IMPORTANT Stop commands override all start commands and can be initiated from
the hardwired inputs or any DPI port regardless of the logic mask.
The Bulletin 20-HIM-A6 provides start and stop control of the SMC-50
controller. However, the Logic Mask factory default settings disable control
commands other than Stop through the controller’s DPI ports 1, 2, 3, or 4.
To enable motor control from either of the four ports using a connected
20-HIM-A6, the following steps must be performed from the SMC-50
controller standard power-up screen.
1. Press the key. Use the right or left arrow key on the keypad to

IMPORTANT • Parameter 148 [Logic Mask] must be set to 0 or the "REMOVE HIM" key is
depressed via the HIM controller screen (see Chapter 8) before you
disconnect the HIM from the SMC-50 controller. If not, the unit faults on
a “Exp. Removed”.
• Parameter 149 [Logic Mask Act] is a read-only parameter that shows the
logic mask actually in use at any given time. It typically follows
parameter 148 [Logic Mask], except in some application environments
where network communication is in use.
Loss of Communication An "Exp. Removed" fault indicates that a device was improperly removed.
There is a Fault code determined by port number.
with DPI Device
DPI provides a separate Exp. fault for each port. This fault can be generated

Reference/Feedback The SMC-50 controller does not offer the analog Reference feature. The analog
Feedback feature is supported and provides Current Average, parameter 5
[Current Phase Ave], automatically as the feedback word.
Parameter Information Appendix A lists the complete list of parameters for the SMC-50 controller.
Scale Factors for PLC The parameter values stored and produced by the SMC-50 through
communication are unscaled numbers. When reading or writing values from a
Communication PLC image table, it is important to apply the proper scaling factor, which is
based on the number of decimal places.
Display Text Unit Some parameters have text descriptions when you view them from a HIM or
through a communication software program such as RSNetworx™. When
Equivalents receiving or sending information from a PLC, each text description has a
numerical equivalent. Table 123 shows an example of parameter 16 [Meter
Reset] and the appropriate relationship between the text descriptor and the
equivalent value. This relationship is identical for other similar parameters.
Configure Datalinks Datalinks are supported in the SMC-50 controller. Datalinks are a mechanism
used to transfer data to and from the controller without using an explicit
message. The SMC-50 controller supports 32-bit Datalinks, letting you
configure the device to return up to eight additional pieces of information
without the need for an explicit message.

Diagnostics
Overview This chapter describes the fault diagnostics of the SMC-50 controller and the
conditions that cause various faults to occur.
Protection Programming Many of the protective features available with the SMC-50 controller can be
enabled and adjusted through the programming parameters provided. For
further details on programming, see page 158.
Diagnostic LEDs The SMC-50 controller multi-color diagnostic LED status indicator and HOLD
TO TEST, PUSH TO RESET button are below the HIM bezel port. The status
LED indicates the status and fault conditions of the SMC-50 controller.
Table 125 - Corresponding LED Status Indicator Color and Fault Conditions
Status LED Color Device Mode SMC-50 Controller Status
Green Running Running without an alarm
Green/Amber Running Running with an alarm
Green Flashing Ready Ready (no inhibit and no fault) without an alarm
Amber/Flashing Ready Ready (no inhibit and no fault) with tuning enabled on the next start
Amber Ready Ready with alarm (no tuning enabled)
Red/Amber Inhibit Inhibited; cannot start due to a Stop command
Red Faulted A non-resettable fault has occurred
Red/Flashing Faulted A resettable fault has occurred
Red/Green Download Firmware is being downloaded
The HOLD TO TEST, PUSH TO RESET button lets you reset an alarm/fault,
test for a fault condition, and initiate the tuning mode.
Table 126 - Function Initiation of the HOLD TO TEST, PUSH TO RESET Button
Function Time Required to Press Button
Fault Reset Momentary (less than 2 seconds)
Test Fault Greater than 3 seconds, but less than 10 seconds
Initiate Tuning Mode Greater than 10 seconds (motor must be stopped)
The 150-SM6 has four diagnostic/status LEDs to display an LED code for each
fault/alarm. When the SMC-50 controller’s Status LED indicates that the
control module has faulted, the 150-SM6 displays a specific fault code. If the
unit is not faulted but in an alarm condition, the 150-SM6 displays the alarm
Rockwell Automation Publication 150-UM011E-EN-P - April 2021 201
Chapter 10 Diagnostics
code. If the unit is not faulted or in an alarm condition, all 150-SM6 LEDs do
not illuminate.
The 150-SM6 > (<) LED indicates whether the fault/alarm is an SMC-50
controller device fault/alarm or a motor fault/alarm. The on/off status of the
other three LEDs indicates the actual fault/alarm codes.
Depending on which SMC-50 controller port the 150-SM6 is installed into, the
position of the LEDs (for example, >, III, II, and I versus I, II, III, and <)
change. Table 127 displays the LED order when the 150-SM6 is installed in port
7. When the 150-SM6 is installed in port 8 or 9, the order is reversed, but the
LED diagnostic code is the same.

7 On On On
The displayed LED error code is either a fault or an alarm code depending on
the cause. For example, if the LED code is 1, Line Loss A is either a fault or an
alarm. If you want a more detailed display of the error code source, a human
interface module (HIM) or configuration software is recommended.
Table 128 provides a list of faults with LED fault/alarm codes for the 150-SM6
Parameter Configuration Module.
Fault Display (20-HIM-A6) When you use the SMC-50 controller with a 20-HIM-A6, the HIM displays the
fault information.

IMPORTANT Resetting a fault does not correct the cause of the fault condition. You
must take corrective action before you reset the fault.
The fault display remains active as long as control power is applied. If
you cycle control power, the fault is cleared, the controller reinitializes,
and the display shows a status of Stopped unless the Fault condition still
exists.
You can press Esc to get to another programming/diagnostic list, but the
SMC-50 controller is still in a faulted state.
Clear Fault You can clear a fault with any of the following methods:
• Program the SMC-50 controller to automatically clear a fault using
Restart Enable, parameter 135 [Strtr Restart En] or parameter 264 [Motor
Restart En].
• Press the SMC-50 controller HOLD TO TEST, PUSH TO RESET button.
• Connect a N.O. push button to Option Input #1 (terminal 11) or # 2
(terminal 10). Option Input #1 or #2 must be programmed for Clear Fault
using parameter 56 [Input 1] or parameter 57 [Input 2].
This can also be done with an Input from a 150-SM4 Option I/O Module.
• Cycle the control power to the SMC-50.
IMPORTANT You cannot reset an overload fault until the value of parameter 18 [Motor
Therm Usage] is below the value that is programmed in parameter 80
[OL Reset Level]. See page 112 for further details.
Fault and Alarm Buffer - The SMC-50 controller stores the five most recent fault and alarm codes (fault
parameters 138…142, alarm parameters 143…147) in parameter memory from

Fault Codes
Table 129 provides a complete cross-reference of the available fault codes and
corresponding fault descriptions.
Table 130 provides an overview of the fault and alarm codes with Time Delay
and Restart options and a basic description of what causes each fault or alarm
to occur.
Most faults and alarms are individually bit enabled and disabled (F/A Bit Enab) and
can have a user configurable delay time to help avoid spurious trips (Time Delay
Aval). Many can automatically restart after the condition is cleared (Restart En).
See Chapter 5 for additional information on faults and alarms.
Auxiliary Relay Output Fault You can program auxiliary relay output contacts for fault or alarm, N.O., or
N.C. indication. You can also configure an ON or OFF Delay Time. Basic
or Alarm Indication parameter setup (without N.C. or timed functions) is in the Setup / I/O
Parameter Group. Full configuration is available from the Setup / I/O
Parameter Group.
Troubleshooting
Introduction For safety of maintenance personnel and others who might be exposed to
electrical hazards associated with maintenance activities, follow the local
safety-related work practices (for example, NFPA 70E, Part II in the United
States). Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety practices,
procedures, and requirements that pertain to their respective job assignments.
SHOCK HAZARD: Hazardous voltage is present in the motor circuit even when
the SMC-50 controller is off. To avoid shock hazard, disconnect main power
before working on the controller, motor, and control devices (for example,
Start-Stop push buttons). Procedures that require parts of the equipment to
be energized during troubleshooting, testing, and so on, must be performed by
properly qualified personnel using appropriate local safety work practices and
precautionary measures.

The SMC-50 controller can provide ground fault indication when you use it
with the 150-SM2 Option Module and the 825-CBCT External Ground Fault
(Core Balance) Current Sensor. The ground fault current sensor mounts
separately from the SMC-50 controller and must be placed within three meters
of the SMC-50 controller. A customer-supplied cable for wiring the ground
fault sensor to the 150-SM2 module must meet the requirements that are
outlined in Table 169.

contactor is used, the 825-MCM must be installed in order to use current-based motor protective
features, including the motor overload feature. Cable length is 4 meters. Only the cable that is
provided with the 825-MCM is compatible with the 150-SM2. See Figure 111 for 825-MCM dimensions
3 The 825-CBCT Core Balance Sensor mounts separately from the SMC-50 controller and must be placed
within 3 meters of the SMC-50 controller. When connecting the 825-CBCT ground-fault sensor, the
secondary of the CT must be shorted until connection to the 150-SM2 module is complete
4 See Figure 42 for additional bypass configurations (such as emergency run-off bypass) and
application considerations
5 To meet product susceptibility requirements, one ferrite core must be placed around any or all sensor
(such as PTC or ground fault) wires connected to the 150-SM2 Option Module. The recommended core
is a Fair-Rite Products Corp Part Number 0431167281 or equivalent

Cat. No. 150-SM6 Parameter The Cat. No. 150-SM6 PCM provides simple and limited configuration of the
SMC-50 controller. You can insert this PCM into any control module option
Configuration Module (PCM) port (7, 8, or 9).
This module contains five rotary dials and three banks of two-position, eight-
switch DIP switches.
Parameters that are not defined and therefore are not configurable by the PCM
can be configured through other means (like Human Interface Module (HIM),
Connected Components Workbench software, or DriveExecutive software), if
necessary.
Only one 150-SM6 Option Module can be installed in the control module. Any
of the three control module expansion ports can be used. A fault is generated if
you attempt to install more than one 150-SM6 into the control module.
You can use one PCM to configure multiple SMC-50 controllers. After setup of
the initial SMC-50 controller is complete, remove all power and move the PCM
to the next SMC-50 controller that needs to be programmed. Upon powerup of
the initial SMC-50 controller, the parameters set by the PCM are retained.

Bit Outputs
Bit Outputs are used to connect to real-world output devices (example: pilot
lights, relays) that are wired to an auxiliary relay in the SMC-50 controller.
Available bit outputs are shown in Table 175.

(1) The Auxiliary Relays must be programmed to “DeviceLogix” to allow the DeviceLogix program to control each specific relay.
For example, if you want to control Aux 1 on the control module you must configure parameter 172 [Aux1 Config] to “Device
Logix”. Similarly, to control Aux 1 in a Digital I/O (150-SM4) expansion card, you must configure parameter 6 [Aux 1 Config] in
the expansion card) to “Device Logix”.

RTC Battery The SMC-50 Control Module comes standard with an RTC that is used to time
and date stamp faults and alarms. When the control power is not applied to the
SMC-50, the operation of the RTC is maintained by an off-the-shelf Lithium™
CR2032 coin cell battery. The battery must be replaced if the SMC-50’s low
battery alarm is activated.
