SMC-2 cat. no.: 150-A97NB with PCB cat. no.: 150-N wiring help

[ Edited ]

I have been looking very extensively both here and on the WWW

regards the PCB interface unit, cat. no.: 150-N which I have

on each of my four SMC-2 units.

I have tried looking everywhere :smileyhappy:

The electronic board has no source for input voltage etc, with the

exception of a ten pin connection labelled "TP1" near the DIP

switches. I suspect this 10 pin set to be a serial interface to a PC

for I/O communication purposes. It may also be a source of voltage

to actuate the gate on each of the three modules.

There is the typical trigger connections for the TT162N powerblocks

attached to the heatsink (four wires for each module), but there is

no voltage source for them to work...well none that I can see.

See the attached photo to help you.

I have seen the documents:

 

150-at002_-en-p.pdf

150-in001_-mu-p.pdf

150-in004_-mu-p.pdf

150-in006_-mu-p.pdf

150-qs002_-en-p.pdf

150-um003_-en-p.pdf

 

...none provide any wiring diagrams for the SMC-2 with an attached

150-N interface unit.

What I really would love to see is a schematic for the legacy board

150-N,  pinout wiring diagram for the ten pins located near the 

DIP switch and  how to provide power to the three powerblock gates

while still using the 150-N PCB interface.

Any help related to the 150-N interface board would be of great

assistance.

My interest in these units can be explained

by visiting Homegrown Power

...and that is me, CraziestOzzy :smileytongue:

 

Cheers

Re: SMC-2 cat. no.: 150-A97NB with PCB cat. no.: 150-N wiring help

These units are Soft starters for motors

The blocks are back to back scr's that fire off on the back end of the 50 hz sine wave. ( use your crow  - aussie name for Osciloscope - to check this)

The 150N1 unit only allowed for remote start/ and ramp stop with an up to speed aux.

The units are rated  for scr's full on ( not variable speed ) and the voltage ramp starts once  3 phase power is applied

Please use them for what they were designed for and leave the smart stuff for the one's with all the money !!!
