With a unique combination of smart features, VMX-Synergy Plus™ sets new performance standards for soft starters
The incorporation of Motortronics’ unique iERS technology allows VMX-Synergy Plus™ to deliver unrivalled soft start performance alongside energy saving capability on partially loaded motors.
VMX-Synergy Plus™ uses Motortronics’ globally renowned i45 smart application pre-program suite. This allows the user to program the unit to any common application in 4 simple steps using our intuitive touch screen technology.
With built in full motor overload protection, the feature rich VMX-Synergy Plus™ will meet all key design criteria.
VMX-Synergy Plus™ Features
Variable Speed Drives are not needed in all applications, with fixed speed loads, a soft starter is a better option.
Features & Benefits
i45 Smart Application Pre-program Suite
The automatic functionality has been expanded to include 45 preconfigured parameters settings to meet your application needs.
Ease of use
Intuitive set-up and commissioning in under 60 seconds.
Fire mode
External input signal overriding normal controls allowing the motor to continue running in emergency situations.
Jogging function
Allows motor to be slowly rotated into position for maintenance & process control.
MLink software
For easy commissioning, startup & diagnosis.
Lifetime event logging
Comprehensive logging feature to easily identify energy savings, trends and fault conditions.
Flexible communications
Modbus-RTU, Anybus, USB and Ethernet.
Ready for digital transformation
Ready to remotely deliver accurate, real-time information about drive events that can be used for predictive maintenance, energy data management and resource optimisation.
Plug n Play
The soft starter will ‘tune’ itself to the load.
Automatic reset
Automatically resets trips in predefined situations. Reduces the requirement to send a service technician to reset nuisance trips.
Removable touchscreen
A removable 3.5" colour touch screen rated IP66/NEMA4X – ready for panel mounting - is fitted as standard.
Optional 7" inch screen
Msmart 7" and 3.5" touch screen options available.
Automatic load tuning
