Product Details

OVERVIEW

VMX-agility™ has been developed to exceed the exacting demands of industrial automation motor control clients. VMX-agility™ delivers stable start and stop ramps for smooth, efficient performance. Three standard frame sizes cover all typical applications from 7.5kW to 250kW at 500VAC, 15 - 350HP at 600VAC.

VMX-Agility

Compact soft starter with 3S advanced starting technology, i23 application profiles, and OLED display for ratings up to 477 Amps.

i23 smart application pre-program suite

A suite of pre-programmed application ‘complete setup’ profiles facilitate a quick and comprehensive commission process to give freedom and independence to engineers. Typical VMX-agility™ setup takes less than 1 minute whereas a comparable competitive product commission could be 60 to 120 minutes for only a partial setup.

3S Technology

Automatic ramp control profiles ensure smooth start and stop performance, delivering stable acceleration and deceleration in all operating conditions.

OLED Display

Full text messages enabling fast programming and rapid fault finding with no codes and real-time value monitoring. Local display of recent logged events.

USB

For field firmware upgrades and downloading of the event logging data.

Modbus RTU

Communications as standard. No need for optional communication cards.

Motor Overload Protection

Protecting the motor and soft starter in the event of an overload situation at full I²t motor overload with intelligent thermal memory retention feature.

Life Event Logging

VMX-agility™ life event logging is a unique feature that records the last 1600 events to enable fast accurate fault analysis and their resolution.

Loss Reduction

An integral bypass is initiated at the top of ramp and reduces losses in the soft starter.

Start Delay Feature

Intentional start delay allowing pump actuators to engage before start.

Control Circuit

A standard 24 VDC control voltage supply with an optional power module which adapts the digital input voltages to accept a 110/230 VAC signal.

Lowers Panel Production Costs

Three unit frame sizes across the voltage range of 200-600VAC with vertical or horizontal mounting to facilitate efficient panel layout.

Soft Stopping

Current is limited during soft stopping and gives greater control against water hammer.

Fire Mode

External input signal overriding normal controls allowing the motor to continue running in emergency situations.

Frequent Number of Starts

Optional cooling fan for frequent duty applications with up to 40 starts per hour - size 1, and from 10 to 40 starts per hour (rating dependent) - size 2.

Optional Remote Display Keypad

Plug in remote mounting unit keypad mimics the VMX-agility™ display and keypad function.

Optional Power Supply Unit Module

Unique to VMX-agility™ this module enables control voltage options in one standard product unit.
