Pump Application Interface
Product News Wednesday, April 4, 2007: AuCom Electronics Ltd
New I/O Expansion Option for AuCom Soft Starters
AuCom Electronics has just released an expansion interface for use with its popular CSX Series of compact soft starters. The Pump Application Interface has been developed in response to demand for more input and output functionality, particularly in pumping situations.
The interface has three digital inputs which can be directly connected to external inputs such as pressure switches, flow switches, limit switches or PLC outputs, and one PT100 input which can be directly connected to a temperature sensor. The PT100 temperature trip point is selectable and the pressure and low water inputs offer a configurable trip delay, allowing precise control of the soft starter in response to a wide variety of operating conditions. When an input activates, the soft starter stops the motor and signals a trip, allowing straightforward monitoring via a PLC or serial communication network.
The Pump Application Interface has been designed for pumping applications but can be used without modification on any application where greater control and feedback are required. Easy to install and configure, the interface is housed in a compact casing which clips directly onto the side of CSX and CSXi soft starters. The interface is powered through the soft starter's serial port and no special tools or additional software are required for installation.
