Superior safety with minimal eff ort Large control cabinet space requirements, bulky cable trays, and
complicated distributor box installation: when motors in conveyor systems are safely turned off in the traditional manner, the wiring and energy distribution involved is typically very complex. Wieland Electric wanted to reduce the complexity in installation and make it more user friendly. This motivation eventually led to the development of the motor starter podis MS 5HP.
T
he compact, robust, and user- friendly drive component includes an integrated STO (Safe Torque Off ) function that, when activated, renders the connected motor torque-free and allows the power supply to be completely disconnected from the emergency stop circuits. As a result, STO circuits no longer need to be routed over long distances to a central distributor and assigned to a specifi c energy branch. This reduces the system’s susceptibility to interference and provides signifi cant benefi ts for planning and installation work. This innovative combination of starter functions enables the distribution of all energy and the decentralised assignment of STO circuits in the fi eld. Furthermore, a high level of safety (SIL 3, PL e) can
be attained with little eff ort. All motor starters in an emergency stop circuit are connected to STO female sockets, and the STO circuit is monitored and controlled by an auxiliary voltage generated in the fi eld, as well as a two-channel safety relay. In addition, multiple STO circuits can be powered by a single power supply.
When an energy bus system, such as Wieland Electric’s podis 5G6, is used, additional benefi ts of separating energy and signal are realised - because the energy distribution for multiple motor starters and motors can be combined on a single line with only one feed. This saves space in the cable trays and simplifi es wiring in the distributor panel. Furthermore, the podis MS 5HP is designed in such a way that a single size can cover a power range of 0.25 kW to 4.0 kW. This aids in the
reduction of storage and administration costs. The procurement and materials management processes are also simplifi ed because there is only one order option. The processes for installation and commissioning are also straightforward: DIP switches can be used to fully program the motor starter. The user can make the settings for the motor and the application concerned after being guided through the procedure step by step by an intelligent web confi gurator guide.
The podis MS 5HP is designed to meet the protection class IP65 and the NEMA12 standard, which is applicable to the US market. It is also appropriate for use in tough industrial environments.
