3.1.3 Positioning / Fixing

At least the spaces around the soft-starter must be left open for the
installation of the SSW-06 Soft-Starter, according to Figure 3.2, as
follows. The dimensions of each space are described in table 3.2.
Install the Soft-Starter SSW-06 in the vertical position according to the
following recommendations:
1) Install the SSW-06 Soft-Starter on a flat surface;
2) Do not place heat sensitive components on top of the SSW-06 SoftStarter;

ATTENTION!
If the Soft-Starters are installed one next to the other, use minimum
distance B.
When a Soft-Starter is installed on top of another, use minimum distance
A+C and avoid to the Soft-Starter above the hot air that comes from the
Soft-Starter below.

ATTENTION!
Foresee independent conduits or electroducts for physically separating
the signal, control and power conductors (see item 3.2, electrical
installation).

3.2.4.2 Recommended Fuses

The fuses to be used in the input must be high speed semiconductor
fuses with l2t lower of equal to 75% of the SCR value indicated above
(A2s).
These fuses will protect the SRCs in case of a short-circuit. Normal
fuses can also be used, instead of the high speed, which will protect
the installation from short-circuits, but the SCRs will not be protected.

Connection of the
SSW-06 Soft-Starter
to the motor

DANGER!
Power factor correction capacitors should never be installed at the output
of the Soft-Starter SSW-06 (U / 2T1, V / 4T2 and W / 6T3).

ATTENTION!
For the protections based on the current reading and indication to work
correctly, in case of overload protection, the rated current of the motor
cannot be lower than 30% of the rated current of the SSW-06
Soft-Starter.
It is not recommended to use motors with the load working duty lower
than 50% of its rated current.

NOTE!
Use wire sizing and fuses as recommended in Table 3.6, 3.7 and 3.9.
The connector tightening torque is as indicated in Table 3.5. Use 70ºC
(158ºF) copper wires only.
NOTE!
Soft-Starter SSW-06 is provided with an electronic protection against
motor overload. This protection must be set according to the specific
motor. When several motors are connected the same Soft-Starter
SSW-06, use individual overload relays for each motor.
 The SSW-06 Soft-Starter can be connected to the motor in two
ways, according to 3.2.5.1 and 3.2.5.2.

3.2.5.1 Standard Three-Wire

CHAPTER 3 - INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
ATTENTION!
For the connection inside the delta of the motor, the motor must have a
delta connection in the desired voltage.
NOTES!
1) In the motor inside delta connection, the SSW-06 Soft-Starter
connection cables to the power supply, fuses and/or the main
contactor must support the rated current of the motor. The motor
connection cables to the Soft-Starter and/or the external By-pass
contactor connection must support 58% of the rated current of the
motor.
2) Due to the presence of high currents and large cable sizes
requirements, we also recommend the use of copper busbars for
connecting the Soft-Starter SSW-06 to the power supply.
3) During the start of the motor current in relation to the Soft-Starter is
1.50. However in full voltage condition (after the start time of the
motor) the current relation is 1.73.
ATTENTION!
Pay attention to the connection of the motor to the SSW-06 Soft-Starter,
respect the connection diagrams shown in the figures above according
to the type of motor windings. If it is necessary to change the motor
speed direction, only invert the SSW-06 Soft-Starter connections to the
power supply.
Maintain the electronics turned off during the connection changes.
ATTENTION!
Ensure correct setting of Parameter P150 before the motor is switched
ON. Soft-Starter SSW-06 may be damaged, when this parameter setting
is not correct

RECOMMENDED
SET-UPS

In this item some suggestive starters are presented, which can be
used completely or in part to elaborate the desired control.
The main warnings, for all the suggestive starters, listed below, are
related in the diagrams through their respective numbers.

NOTES!
1

48

For the protection of all of the electrical installation, the use of
fuses or circuit breakers in the main power supply circuit is
necessary.
The use of high speed semiconductor fuses are not necessary
for the functioning of the SSW-06 Soft-Starter, but its use is
recommended for the complete protection of the thyristors.

2

The transformer “T1” is optional and should be used when the
line voltage is different from the electronics and fan voltage;

3

To protect the motor against destruction by possible shortcircuits in the power circuit of the Soft-Starter SSW-06 use an
isolating contactor (K1) or circuit-breaker (Q1);

CHAPTER 3 - INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
4

X1E (33 and 34) is only available in the models fitted with cooling
fans;

5

For integral motor protection the installation of one or more PTC
thermistors (PTC at the DI6) or thermostats (external fault at
the DI4 to DI6) is recommended;

6

Remember that when a command via two-wire digital input is
used (the switch is normally open with retention), every time the
power supply returns, after any fault, the motor starts immediately
if the switch remains closed;

7

8

In case of maintenance services, remove the power supply fuses
or disconnect the power supply, thus ensuring complete
equipment disconnection from the power supply;
The emergency stop can be obtained by disconnecting the
electronics power supply.

9

The contactors must be of the same model and must support
the motor starting current. For safety reasons, auxiliary contacts
must be used to keep both contactors from closing at the same
time.

10

Use a digital input set to “General Enable” to dissable the motor
without braking. Use a digital input set to “No Braking”, for safety
reasons, with the possibility of putting a motor stop sensor to
disable the braking.

11

12

The use of an external By-pass contactor is optional for models
950A to 1400A that do not have an internal By-pass contactor.
This contactor is also recommended, in models with an internal
by-passs, for use in applications where the motor can frequently
present a blocked rotor during the full operation cycle.
To maintain the current indications and protections, when using
the external By-pass contactor, it is necessary to place the
current transformers in the soft starter output. The current
transformers must be placed in the correct positions and
directions as indicated.

ATTENTION!
In the first power-up, in the models of 85A to 365A, if a contactor or a
circuit-breaker of insulation of the power supply with under voltage
release will not be used, to connecting the control power supply first,
program the minimum necessary parameters and only after connecting
the power supply.

European Directives for
Electromagnetic
Compatibility Requirements
for installation.

The SSW-06 series Soft-Starters were designed considering all the
safety and electromagnetic compatibility aspects.
SSW-06 Soft-Starters do not have any intrinsic function if they are not
connected to other components (for example, with a motor). For this
reason, the basic product does not have the CE label indicating
conformity with the electromagnetic compatibility directive.
The SSW-06 attends all the requirements of the electromagnetic
compatibility directive (89/336/EEC), as defined by Product Standard
EN60947-4-2 (2000) + A1 (2002) - “low-voltage switchgear and controlgear part 4.2: Ac Semi-conductor Motor controllers and Starters” specific
standard for drives.
The conformity of all the SSW-06 series is based on tests of some
representative models. A Technical Construction File (TCF) was
checked and approved by a competent body.

3.4.1

Installation

To install the Soft-Starter(s) in conformity with the EN60947-4-2 standard,
it is necessary to attend the following requirements:
1) The cables used for control (inputs and outputs) and signal wiring
must be armored or installed in metallic electroducts (conduits) or
in metallic channel with equivalent attenuation.
2) It is indispensable to follow the recommendations for earthing
presented in this manual.
3) Models 85A to 1400A SSW-06 Soft-Starters are classified for use in
“Class A”, individual use with no need of external filters or armored
power cables.

Description of the conducted emission classes according to
Standard EN60947-4-2 (2000) + A1 (2002):
- Class B: residential environment (first environment), unrestricted
distribution
- Class A: industrial environment (second environment), unrestricted
distribution.

 How to check and prepare the Soft-Starter SSW-06 before power-up;
 How to power-up and check for proper operation;
 How to operate the Soft-Starter SSW-06 (See Electrical Installation).

5.1 POWER-UP
PREPARATION

The Soft-Starter SSW-06 shall be installed according to Chapter 3 Installation. If the drive project is different from the typical recommended
drives, the steps below may also followed.
DANGER!
Disconnect the AC input power before making any connections.
1) Check all connections:
Check if the power, grounding and control connections are correct
and well tightened.
2) Clean the inside of the Soft-Starter SSW-06:
Remove all shipping material from the inside of the Soft-Starter
SSW-06 or cabinet.
3) Checks the correct voltage selection:
In models 255A to 820A, the fan supply voltage selection is correct.
In models 950A to 1400A the single-phase supply voltage must be
checked to make sure it is adequate to the voltage of the fans.
4) Check the motor:
Check all motor connections and verify if their voltages, currents
and frequencies match the Soft-Starter SSW-06 specifications.
5) Check the Soft-Starter SSW-06 motor connection type:
Check if the standard three-wire connection should be used or if the
Soft-Starter SSW-06 should be connected via inside delta of the
motor. For more details, refer to Chapter 3.
6) Uncouple the load from the motor:
If the motor cannot be uncoupled, make sure that the direction of
rotation (FWD/REV) does cannot cause damage to the machine.
7) Close the Soft-Starter SSW-06 and/or cabinet cover.

CHAPTER 5 - START-UP

5.2 INITIAL POWER-UP
(required parameter settings)

After the Soft-Starter SSW-06 has been checked, AC power can be
applied:
1) Check the supply voltage:
Measure the line voltage and check if it is within the specified range
(Rated Voltage - 15% to + 10% ).
2) Power-up the Electronics Supply:
NOTE!
Always energize the electronics supply before energizing the power
and execute all adjustments/settings described in this item.
3) Check if the power-up has been successful
When the Soft-Starter SSW-06 is powered up for the first time or
when the factory default parameter values are loaded (P204 = 5), a
start-up routine is run.
This routine requests the user to program some basic parameters
to ensure proper Soft-Starter SSW-06 and operation and motor
operation.This routine sequence changes according to the selected
type of control. For more details about the control type to be selected,
refer to Parameter P202 in Chapter 6.
The parameterization sequence for each control type is show in
figure 5.1.
ATTENTION!
For correct programming of the protection parameters, please consider
the catalog data and the motor nameplate data of the used motor.
To protect the motor against overloads during the start process and at
during operation, program the thermal class of the motor. For more
details about programming of the Thermal Class, see description of
Parameter P640 in Chapter 6.
In this parameter setting sequence only the main parameters for learning
about the Soft-Starter SSW-06 operation are shown. Please program
all necessary parameters for correct operation of the Soft-Starter and
motor protection, before operating it at rated operation conditions.
4) Close the input circuit-braker.

CHAPTER 5 - START-UP

5.3 START-UP

This Section describes the start-up procedure when operating via the
Keypad (HMI). Three types of control will be considered:
Start-up by Voltage Ramp:
The start by voltage ramp is the most used method and its programming
and parameter setting is very easy to do. The Soft-Starter SSW-06
applies the voltage to the motor without any feedback of the voltage or
current applied to the motor
Start-up by Current Limit:
The maximum current level is maintained during the start-up and it is
set according to the application requirements. This programming is
very easy.
Start-up by Current Ramp:
The maximum current level is also limited during the start-up, however
higher or lower start-up current limits can be set.
Start-up by Pump Control:
Optimized control method, providing the required torque to start/stop
hydraulic centrifugal pumps smoothly.
Start-up by Torque Control:
The Soft-Starter SSW-06 is fitted with a torque control algorithm of high
performance and is totally flexible to meet any application requirement
during the motor start or stop and its coupled load.
The method allows a torque control with 1 setting point, a torque control
with 2 setting points and a torque control with 3 setting points.
NOTE!
Every time the content of the Parameter P202 is changed, the SoftStarter will execute a setting sequence routine according to the selected
control type.
For more details, refer to Parameter P202 in Chapter 6 and 7.
The following sequence is valid for Drive 1 (see item 3.3.1). The SSW-06
Soft-Starter must already be installed and the electronics, fans and
power must already be energized, according to chapter 3, with the
setting sequence of the initial Start-up complete, as described
(Item 5.2).

Soft-Starter SSW-06 inside delta motor connection
Table 6.12 - Motor connection type

 SSW-06 offers two operation modes: Standard Connection or
connection inside the Motor Delta Connection.
 When a Standard Connection is used, the motor is connected in series
to the Soft-Starter SSW-06 through three cables.
 When an Inside Delta Connection is used, the Soft-Starter SSW-06 is
connected separately in each winding through six cables. (See item
3.2.5.2). In this type of connection, the current that flows through of
the Soft-Starter SSW-06 is only the current of the inside delta motor
connection, in other words, 58% of the rated motor current. This
characteristic changes the relation between the Soft-Starter SSW-06
nominal currents and those of the motor. In this connection, the SoftStarter can be used with its rated current dimensioned in the following
way:
- 1.5 times the rated motor current during start;
- 1.73 times the rated motor current during full voltage.
During the start, the relation is lower due to the characteristics that
are common to this type of connection (inside delta) the Thyristors of
the Soft-Starter need to lead the same current in a lower time period,
increasing with this the losses in the Thyristor during the start.
 The standard connection requires less output wiring. The Inside Delta
Motor Connection requires double wiring, but for short distances, this
will be a cheaper option for the Soft-Starter + motor + wiring set.

ATTENTION!
Do not operate the motor when P150 has not been programmed
correctly. Soft-Starter SSW-06 can be seriously damaged when
this parameter has not been programmed correctly.

Table 6.15 - Types of control

 Soft-Starter SSW-06 has five starting control types to better match all
application requirements.
Start by Voltage Ramp (1):
The start by Voltage Ramp is the most used starting method. Its
programming and setting is very easy. The Soft-Starter SSW-06 applies
the voltage to the motor without voltage or current feedback. This method
is used for loads with lower initial torque or quadratic torque.
This type of control can be used as initial operating test.
Start by Current Limit (2):
The maximum current level is maintained during the start and is set
according to the application requirements. Its programming and setting
is very easy.
This method is used for loads with higher initial torque or constant torque.
This type of control is used for matching the start process to the limits of
the power supply capacity.
Start by Current Ramp (3):
The maximum current level is limited during the start process, however
higher or lower current limits can be set during the start beginning.

Description / Notes
It can substitute the kick-start functions for loads with higher initial
torques.
This type of control is used for loads with lower or higher initial torques.
This type of control is used to match the start process to the limits of the
power supply capacity.
Start by Pump Control (4):
This type of control provides the required torque for starting and stopping
hydraulic centrifugal pumps smoothly.
It has a special algorithm for application in centrifugal pumps, where
loads with quadratic torques are present.
This special algorithm aims at to minimize pressure “overshoots” in the
hydraulic piping, which can result in breakdown or excessive pump
wearing.
Start by Torque Control:
The SSW-06 Soft-Starter has a high performance and totally flexible
torque control algorithm to meet the needs of any application, for smoothly
starting or stopping the motor and its load.
Torque Control with 1 setting point (2):
This type of control allows a constant starting torque limitation.
Torque Control with 2 setting points (3):
This type of control allows the starting torque limitation through linear
ramp.
Torque Control with 3 setting points (4):
This type of control allows the setting of the starting torque limitation at
three different points: initial, intermediate and final. It also allows the
start of quadratic loads, among others.
(1) Very easy to set and program
(2) Easy to set and program
(3) Set and program, requires knowledge of the load to set and program
(4) Set and program, requires extensive knowledge of the load to set
and program

NOTES!
1) These types of controls are arranged according to the use and
programming difficulty level. Thus, we recommend starting with
the easier control modes first.
2) Every time the content of P202 is changed, the Soft-Starter will
start a sequence routine of minimum settings for each selected
type of control. You must run and set all parameters of this
sequence (up to the last) when required. Only after all settings
have been made can you start the motor.

 Soft-Starter SSW-06 has a rigid thermal protection that is efficient
and totally programmable for the protection of your motor. All SoftStarter SSW-06 models are fitted with this protection device. When
activated, error E05 (overload) will be displayed and the motor will be
switched off.
 This thermal protection has curves that simulate the motor heating
and cooling. The calculation is executed by a complex Software, that
estimates the motor temperature through True RMS current supplied
to the motor.
 The actuation curves of the Thermal Protection are based on
IEC 60947-4-2 standard.
 The heating and cooling curves are based on WEG's extensive
experience with motor development. These curves adopt WEG threephase IP55 standard motors. They also consider if the motor is cooled
or not when driven.
 The cooling time of the thermal image depends on the motor power,
which means that each power will have different cooling time. When
reduction of this cooling time is required, you can use P641.
 The estimated motor temperature is saved in non-volatile memory
every time the power supply of the control board is switched off. Thus,
when the control board is switched on again, the last value saved will
return.

NOTE!
As there are several Thermal Protection Classes, you must
program that Thermal Protection Class that best meets you
application and protects the motor during its allowed duty.

NOTE!
The SSW-06 Soft-Starter thermal class times are an evolution of
the previous WEG soft-starters, therefore the times are different
than those of the SSW-03 and SSW-04. The class to be adopted
must be in accordance with the SSW-06 graphs.

NOTE!
When using a motor with a PTC thermal sensor or thermostat
entirely connected to the SSW-06 Soft-Starter, there is no need
to enable the Thermal Classes, therefore set P640=0.

the load start and then programming a current limit that enables the
load acceleration till the start end. In this way you certainly will
ensure a smooth start;

1) To start with pump control a load is necessary. Tests without a load
can be done with voltage ramp;
2) The parameter setting depends mainly of the types of hydraulic
installations. Thus we recommend to optimizing factory settings, if
possible.
3) Check if the motor rotation direction is an indicated on the pump
frame. If not, connect the phase sequence as indicated at P620;

4) Set the initial voltage - P101 – so the motor starts smoothly as
soon as it is enabled.
5) Set the acceleration time according to its application, i. and., that
the motor is able to start the load smoothly, but the required
acceleration is not exceeded. If acceleration times are set too long,
this may result in vibration of harmful motor overheating;
6) To check the correct starting process, always use a manometer in
the hydraulic installation. Pressure increase should not result in
sudden oscillations. Thus the pressure increase should be as linear as possible;

7) Program the voltage step during the deceleration process only when
no pressure drop is detected at the deceleration begin. With this
deceleration voltage step you can improve the pressure drop during
the deceleration process;
8) Set the deceleration time according to the application, i. and.,
ensuring that the pump stops smoothly within the expected limits.
The set of excessively long times may result in vibrations or harmful
motor overheating;

and in this case the motor requires more torque to achieve a smooth
water flow stop. When the motor has already stopped, but is still
enabled, the current will increase too much. To prevent this condition,
set P105 to a value that as soon it stoop it is also disabled;
10)Set P610 and P611 to current and time levels that prevent the

2) If the hydraulic piping is not fitted with manometer, the hydraulic
rams can be noted at the pressure relief valves;
3) Please consider, that sudden line voltage drops results in motor
torque drops. Thus, ensure that the power supply line characteristics
are within the characteristics required for motor operation;
4) If errors are detected during the motor start, check all connections
of the Soft-Starter to the power line, the motor connections, the
voltage levels of the power line, the fuses, circuit-breakers and

3) Only use the control type and/or torque control type you are able to
set. Always select the control type that is easier to set, considering
the load characteristics;
4) When heavy loads are started, always select the start by current
limit. In this way you can set the energy consumption during the
start by considering the power line capacity;

torques in relation to the motor start when they are hot or cold;
9) Always maintain motor running after is has been enabled, indifferent
if it has been started cold or hot;
10)The motor manufacturer supplies the maximum torque developed
by the motor, during the starting or at full load. The Soft-Starters
can only limit these this data;
11) If errors are detected during the motor start, check all connections
of the Soft-Starter to the power line, the motor connections, the

Starting with Pump Control, item 7.1.5;
2) If the pump control does not meet your requirements our if a
control with better performance is desired, use the torque control;
3) With a linear torque ramp you can obtain a speed curve very

4) Through the load curve you can set the torque 10% to 20% higher
than the load torque for the initial point P121, and 20% to 30%
higher than the load torque for the end point, P122;
5) Even when the load curve is used, we recommend executing a
setting at the application field. For this, proceed as follows:
5.1) Set P121 to the torque required for the running pump;
5.2) Set P122 to 110% to 130% of the rated motor torque;

process is to maintain the drop in the pressure ramp as linear as
possible, decreasing the pressure gradually and thus preventing
sudden pressure oscillation, at the beginning, middle and at the end
of the stopping process;
2) As already described in the pump control, the use of a measuring

1) Initially start from the standard thermal class, sometimes, but without
heating the motor excessively.
2) Determine the correct starting time. Find an average of the current
through the P002 during the starting time. One can find a current
average for any kind of starting control.
For example:
When an 80A motor is started by voltage ramp, the current at P002
starts at 100A and increases to 300A and after 20s drops to the
rated current.
(100A+300A)/2 = 200A

Thus the minimum required thermal class for starting the motor is the
Class 10. The Class 5 requires a shorter time for this current.
This Thermal Class allows motor cold start.

CHAPTER 7 - APPLICATIONS AND PROGRAMMING
4) To determine the thermal class for starting the motor at running
condition (hot), the motor thermal class must be known. For this we
must determine the allowed locked rotor time.

NOTE!
To program the Thermal Class that your motor will withstand, the allowed
locked rotor time must be available. For this data, please refer to the
manufacturer catalog.
With the blocked rotor time we can find the maximum thermal class
that will protect the motor for hot starter, according to the descriptions
of the P640;

Figure 7.25 – Determining the maximum thermal classes through the hot

Thus, the maximum thermal class that will protect the motor is Class
35, Class 40 has too long a time for this current.
This thermal class allows the motor to start at running condition (hot),
in other words, it can be started in any condition.

NOTE!
Please consider that this protection adopts WEG standard three-phase
IP55 motor as a standard. Thus, if your motor is different, do not program
the maximum allowed thermal class, but program the thermal class
near the minimum thermal class required for the start.

7.2.1.2 Example on how to
program the Thermal Class

Motor Data:
Power: 50 HP
Voltage: 380V
Rated current (In): 71A
Service Factor (S. F.): 1.00
Ip/In : 6.6
Locked rotor time:12s at hot
Speed = 1770 rpm
Data about the motor + load Starting:
Starting by Voltage Ramp, average starting current:
3 x the rated motor current during 25s (3 x In @ 25s).
1) In the chart, at cold at P640, we can find the minimum required
Thermal Class that allows motor start with reduced voltage:
For 3 x In @ 25s, we select the closest higher one: Class 10.

137

CHAPTER 7 - APPLICATIONS AND PROGRAMMING
2) In the chart, at hot in P640, we can find the maximum Thermal
Class that the motor will withstand due to the locked rotor time at hot:
For 6.6 x In @ 12s, we select the closest lower Class: Class 40.
Now it is known that Thermal Class 10 allows one start and Thermal
Class 40 is the upper limit. Thus you must select a Thermal Class
between these two Thermal Classes by considering the number of
start per hour and the time interval between motor On-Off procedures.
The closer to Class 10 you select, more protected will be your motor,
less starts per hour are allowed and longer time intervals between
motor On-Off procedures are required.
The closer to Class 40 you select, nearer the upper motor limit you
will be, thus more starts per hour are allowed and shorter time intervals
between motor On-Off procedures can be used.

7.2.1.3 Time reduction when
changing from cold starting
to hot starting

To determine the activation times of the hot Thermal Classes, i. and.,
when the motor is running at rated load with current lower than or
equal to 100% of the Nominal Current, use the multiplier factor shown
in Table 6.34 at P640, as a percentage of the current that the motor is
absorbing when running continuously.
For example:
A motor is running with 80% In and then is switched Off.
It is switched On again immediately.
The starting current is 3xIn @ 25s.
The selected Thermal Class, in the table 6.22, is the Class 10 with
33,7s @ 3xIn.
As shown in table 6.33, the correction factor for 80% In is 0.48.
The final activation time will be: 0.48 x 33.7s = 16.2s, i. and., the time
is reduced at cold start from 33.7s to 16.2s at hot start. Thus, a new
motor is not allowed before the thermal motor image decreases, i.and.,
cools down.

7.2.1.4 Service Factor

When the Service factor (S.F.) is different from 1.00, but its use is
required, you can find in the chart, cold, the points for the S.F. = 1.15
and a table for S.F. = 1.15.
If you want to know the thermal protection activation time for other
Service Factor (S.F.), displace the line xIn proportionally to the left.

DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
This Chapter helps the user to identify and correct possible faults that
can occur during the Soft-Starter SSW-06 operation. This Chapter also
provides instructions about periodical inspections and cleaning
requirements.

8.1 FAULTS AND POSSIBLE
CAUSES

When most of the errors are detected, the motor is switched off and the
error is shown on the display as EXY, XY being the error code.
For the SSW-06 Soft-Starter to return to normal operation after an error,
it is necessary to reset it. This can generally be done in the following
ways.
It can be reset as follows:
 Disconnecting and reapplying AC power (power-on reset);
 Pressing the
of the keypad (HMI) - (manual reset);
 Automatic reset through P206 setting (auto-reset);
 Via digital input: DI2 (P264 = 2) or DI3 (P265 = 2) or DI4 (P266 = 6)
or DI5 (P267 = 6) or DI6 (P268 = 6).
The table below shows the reset details for each possible cause.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
This chapter describes the options and accessories that can be used
with the Soft-Starter SSW-06. These options and accessories are:

9.1 REMOTE KEYPAD (HMI)
AND CABLES

The MMI can be assembled either from the Soft-Starter or remotely. If
using the remote MMI, the frame KMR-SSW-06 (frame for remote
mounting) can be used. The advantage of using the frame is the
appearance (esthetic) of the remote MMI. The maximum cable length
is 5m (16.40 ft). To acquire cables from WEG, see the following models.

0307.6873

5m (16.40ft)

0307.6865

Table 9.1 - Connection cables CAB-HMI SSW-06-X

The keypad cable must be installed separately from the power cables,
following the same recommendations as for the CCS6 control board
(Refer to Section 3.2.8).
For assembling, see details in figure 9.2 and 9.3.

Figure 9.1 - HMI and remote HMI frame for panel installation

NOTE!
Due to voltage drop in the Keypad cable, do not use cables longer
than 5m (16.40ft).

RS-485 for the Soft-Starter
SSW-06

 When the interface RS-485 is used, the master can control several
drives connected to the same bus. The protocol Modbus-RTU
allows the connection of up to 247 slaves (1 slave per address),
provided repeaters are also used along the bus. This interface
ensures good noise immunity, allowing maximum cable length of
up to 1000 m.
 There are two ways to make available the interface RS-485 in the
Soft-Starter SSW-06:

9.2.1

RS-485 Communication Kit
for SSW-06 (KRS-485)

 WEG Item: 417114255.
 Converter RS-232 to RS-485 with galvanic isolation.
 Connected inside the product (on the connector XC8 of the control
board CCS6).
