Subject to alteration.
I
Before commencing the installation
• Disconnect the power supply of the device.
• Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally retriggered.
• Verify isolation from the supply.
• Ground and short-circuit.
• Cover or enclose neighbouring units that are live.
• Follow the engineering instructions (IL) of the device
concerned.
• Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this device/
system.
• Before installation and before touching the device ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge.
• The functional earth (FE) must be connected to the
protective earth (PE) or to the potential equalizing.
The system installer is responsible for implementing this
connection.
• Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so
that inductive or capacitive interference do not impair the
automation functions.
• Install automation devices and related operating elements
in such a way that they are well protected against uninten-
tional operation.
• Suitable safety hardware and software measures should
be implemented for the I/O connection so that a cable or
wire breakage on the signal side does not result in
undefined states in the automation device.
• Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the low voltage for
the 24 V supply. Only use power supply units complying
with IEC 60364-4-41 or HD 384.4.41 S2 (VDE 0100 part 410).
• Deviations of the mains voltage from the nominal value
must not exceed the tolerance limits given in the technical
data, otherwise this may cause malfunction and
dangerous operation.
• Emergency-Stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1
must be effective in all operating modes of the automation
devices. Unlatching the emergency switching off devices
must not cause restart.
• Built-in devices for enclosures or cabinets must only be
run and operated in an installed state, desk-top devices or
portable devices only when the housing is closed.
• Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This
should not cause dangerous operating states even for a
short time. If necessary, emergency switching off devices
should be implemented.
• Wherever faults in the automation system may cause
damage to persons or property, external measures must
be implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the
event of a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of
separate limit switches, mechanical interlocks, etc.).
• During operation, and depending on their degree of
protection, variable frequency drives may have live,
uninsulated, moving, and/or rotating parts, as well as hot
surfaces.
• The impermissible removal of the required cover,
improper installation or incorrect operation of the motor or
variable frequency drive can cause the failure of the
device and serious injury and/or material damage.
• Comply with all applicable national accident prevention
regulations (e.g. BGV A3) when working with energized
variable frequency drives.
• The electrical installation must be carried out in
accordance with the relevant regulations (e.g. with regard
to cable cross sections, fuses, PE).
• All transport, installation, commissioning and mainte-
nance work must only be carried out by trained personnel
(observe IEC 60364, HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and national
accident prevention regulations).
• If applicable, systems in which variable frequency drives
are installed must be equipped with additional monitoring
and protective devices in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations, e.g., the German Equipment and
Product Safety Act, accident prevention regulations, etc.
Making changes to the variable frequency drives by using
the operating software is allowed.
• Keep all covers and doors closed during operation.
• When designing the machine, the user must incorporate
mechanisms and measures that limit the consequences of
a drive controller malfunction or failure (an increase in
motor speed or the motor’s sudden stop) so as to prevent
hazards to people and property, e.g.:
– Additional stand-alone devices for monitoring parame-
ters that are relevant to safety (speed, travel, end
positions, etc.)
– Electrical and non-electrical safety devices (interlocks
or mechanical locks) for mechanisms that protect the
entire system
– Due to the possibility of there being capacitors that are
still holding a charge, do not touch live device parts or
terminals immediately after disconnecting the variable
frequency drives from the supply voltage. Heed the
corresponding labels on the variable frequency drives

0.6 Abbreviations
The following abbreviations are used in this manual:
0.7 Mains supply voltages
The rated operating voltages stated in the following table are based on the
standard values.
In ring networks (as found in Europe) the rated operating voltage at the
transfer point of the power supply companies is the same as the value in the
consumer networks (e.g. 230 V or 400 V).
In star networks (as found in North America), the rated operating voltage at
the transfer point of the utility companies is higher than in the consumer
network.
Example: 120 V → 115 V, 240 V → 230 V, 480 V → 460 V.
The wide tolerance range of the DS7 soft starters allows for voltage drops of
10% and a voltage drop of additional 4 %, as well as an excess voltage of
10 % that are permissible in consumer supply networks.
The rated mains voltage operational data is always based on mains
frequencies of 50/60 Hz (50 Hz - 5 % – 60 Hz +5 %).

1.13 Selection criteria
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 25
1.13 Selection criteria
The soft starter DS7 ③ is selected on the basis of the supply voltage ULN of
the supply network ① and the rated operational current of the assigned
motor ②. The circuit type (Δ
/
) of the motor must be selected according to
the supply voltage ①. The rated output current Ie of the soft starter must be
greater than/equal to the rated motor current.
Figure 9: Selection criteria
When selecting the drive, the following criteria must be taken into account:
•Type of motor (e.g.three-phase asynchronous motor)
•Mains voltage = rated operating voltage of the motor (e.g. 3 AC ~ 400 V),
•Rated motor current (recommended value, dependent on the circuit type
and the power supply),
•Load torque (quadratic, linear),
•Starting torque,
•Ambient air temperature (rated value +40 °C).
→With heavy starting duty motors, the soft starter must be
overdimensioned in terms of its overload capacity.
→In the case of single-phase AC motors (→page 20), the
selection must be based on the mains voltage (= the motor’s
rated operating voltage) and the rated motor current for the
specific line frequency.

1.14 Function
DS7 soft starters use phase control for controlling the voltage of the supply
network smoothly from an adjustable start value up to 100 % of the rated
value ULN. This voltage control enables the inrush current of a three-phase
asynchronous motor to be limited and its starting torque to be considerably
reduced. This enables a smooth and jerk-free increase in torque, adjusted to
the load behavior of the machine.

28 DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com
The mechanical apparatus of a drive unit controlled with a DS7 soft starter
are therefore accelerated very smoothly. This has a positive effect on the
lifespan, operating behavior and operating processes, and prevents any
adverse effects such as
•Impacting of cog edges in the gearbox
•Pressure surge in pipe systems,
•Slipping of V belts or
•Jitter with conveyor systems.
The generalized phase control of the supply voltage is implemented on the
DS7 soft starter by means of anti-parallel thyristors which are bridged for
continuous operation by so-called bypass contacts (TOR signal) after a time
controlled voltage change (t-Start) has elapsed.
The transition resistance of these bypass contacts is considerably lower than
the transition resistance of the power semiconductors. This reduces the heat
dissipation in the soft starter and extends the lifespan of the power
semiconductors.
Figure 13: Generalized phase control of the supply voltage
ULN = mains supply voltage
U-Start = start voltage
t-Start = Ramp time of the voltage change at start
TOR (Top of Ramp) = Signals the end of the set “t-Start” ramp time

As well as the time-controlled startup of a motor, the DS7 soft starter also
enables a time-controlled reduction of the motor voltage and thus a
controlled stopping of the motor. This type of stop function is primarily used
for pumps in order to prevent pressure waves (water impact).
Jerky movements and therefore the wear on drive chains and drive belts as
well as bearings and gears can be reduced.
Figure 14: Time-based control of motor voltage with a soft starter
The output voltage of the soft starter determines the torque of the motor.
At machine startup it must therefore be ensured that the selected starting
voltage (U-Start) is not too low. Otherwise this may cause the motor to
overheat excessively before it starts up.
→The acceleration time of a drive with a soft starter always
depends on the load and the breakaway torques. The required
breakaway torque can be set via the start voltage (U-Start).
The ramp time (t-Start) for a linear voltage change should be as
short as possible. The ramp time for the deceleration (t-Stop)
must be greater than the load-dependent uncontrolled
deceleration time of the machine.
For the power semiconductors in the soft starter, the controlled
deceleration presents a similar load as the startup: If, for
example, the deceleration ramp is activated on a soft starter
with a maximum of 10 permissible starts per hour, the number
of permissible starts is reduced to 5 per hour (plus 5 stops
within this hour).

The soft starters of the DS7 device series are two-phase controlled and are
available in two variants in
the power section (for size 1 and 2 or size 3 and 4).
The asymmetrical thyristor trigger control that was developed and patented
by Eaton (Moeller) for phase control (PCT/EP00/12938, 19.12.2000) prevents
DC components and ensures optimum startup behavior. This control is
integrated in the DS7 soft starters and is active during the start (t-Start) and
stop ramp (t-Stop).

Figure 15: Designs and variants in the power section
→In the case of conventional two-phase controlled soft starters,
the physical conditions involved in their operation lead to DC
components that in turn result in an elliptical rotating field being
produced. This causes the motor to start up unevenly and the
acceleration time is unnecessarily extended.

2.1 Selection of devices
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 33
2 Engineering
2.1 Selection of devices
The DS7 soft starters can be designed for standard motors in standard
applications (such as pumps, fans, conveyor belts etc.) according to the
technical data provided in the Appendix.
A more specific design is required for drives with a high starting torque or
high inertia. The following information must be known for correct device
selection:
•the overload cycle of the machine,
•The start-up time for DOL starting or for star/delta starting,
•the maximum starting current,
•the load cycle,
•the load that the motor is required to drive.
The values of the moments of inertia must also be known for a more precise
design. These values enable you to select the most suitable soft starter.
The relevant procedure is described in the manual MN03902001Z-EN
(“Design of soft soft starters”) and applies generally to all Eaton soft starters.
The necessary key data of the DS7 soft starter series that is also required for
this design (rated operational current, overload capacity, root mean square
current at nominal switching frequency) is provided in the Appendix in the
technical data.
Connecting to a higher-level PLC through SmartWire-DT requires soft
starters with part no. DS7-34D…-D… (hereafter referred to as “DS7-SWD”).
These soft starters can be controlled and monitored via SmartWire-DT, and
their parameters can be configured via SmartWire-DT as well.
→In connection with a motor-protective circuit-breaker (PKE),
current can be monitored and additional protective functions can
be activated via SmartWire-DT(→chapter 8, “SmartWire-DT”).
→The devices in the DS7-34D…-D series can only be used in
conjunction with the SmartWire-DT connection. They cannot be
run via control signal terminals.
By setting the 1-0-A switch to position 1, the corresponding
motor can be started directly in manual mode (→chapter 8,
“SmartWire-DT”).

EMC = Electromagnetic Compatibility
The IEC EN 60947-4-2 product standards allows for the limit value classes
and measurement methods of the IEC/CISPR11 or EN 55011 standard.
No other measures are required on the DS7 soft starter for the limitation of
interference emission in accordance with EN 55011 limit value class A
(industrial environment).
The
devices of the
DS7-340…
(24 V AC/DC version) series furthermore meet
the requirements of limit value class B (public environment) without any
other measures required.

2.3 Network configurations
DS7 soft starters can be used without restriction in the following network
configurations:
•networks with a earthed or non-earthed center point,
•networks with an isolated star point (IT networks),
•networks with an earthed phase conductor.

used.
Cable and device protection on the supply side:
•Input AC… via standard fuses for cable protection or via motor-protective

2.5 emergency switching off
DS7 soft starters fall under safety category B as defined in standard
EN 954-1. In other words, certain faults may remain undetected (thyristor
failure caused by overvoltage → permanently conductive).
If the machine has more stringent requirements in accordance with
EN ISO 14121-1 “Safety of machines”, additional (external) measures must
be implemented in accordance with this standard.
2.6 Protection
The devices are protected with fuse devices shown in the Appendix
(→page 221). Different fuse devices are used depending on the type of
coordination required.
2.6.1 Type 1 coordination
The protective switches or circuit-breakers stated are used for cable
protection and motor protection. The DS7 soft starter may be damaged in
the event of a short-circuit at the output terminals (motor connection 2T1,
4T2, 6T3).
2.6.2 Type 2 coordination
In addition to the safety devices for type 1 coordination, superfast
semiconductor fuses are required for type 2 coordination. These fuses will
protect the thyristors in the DS7 soft starter from damage in the event of a
short-circuit on the output terminals (2T1, 4T2, 6T3 motor connections).
The semiconductor fuses must be mounted externally on DS7 soft starters.
The assigned fuse types are listed in the Appendix on page 221.
NOTICE
Semiconductor fuses cannot ensure a cable protection function!
NOTICE
Protection against overvoltages in the supply network cannot be
provided with superfast fuses!

2.7 Residual current circuit-breaker (RCD)
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 37
2.7 Residual current circuit-breaker (RCD)
Residual current circuit-breakers – also referred to as RCDs (residual current
devices) and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) – protect people and
livestock from the presence (not the production!) of impermissibly high
touch voltages. They prevent dangerous and fatal injuries caused by
electrical accidents and also serve as fire prevention.
Size 1 and 2 soft starters of the DS7 series have no connection to the earth
potential (PE). In size 3 and 4, the DS7 soft starters have an exposed heat
sink which must be connected with the earth potential (PE).
When using a DS7 soft starter, there is no leakage current at the motor
feeder. Standard residual current circuit breakers (RCD part no. A) up to
30 mA can be used.

2.8 motor protection

2.8 motor protection
The motor protection protects the three-phase asynchronous motor from
thermal overload due to a mechanical overload or the failure of the motor
cooling (fan) or the failure of a connection cable.
There are two basic ways of protecting the three-phase asynchronous motor
from overload during operation: By
•monitoring of current consumption (motor-protective circuit-breaker,
overload relay or bimetal relay),
•direct temperature monitoring in the motor winding (PTC, thermistor).

2.9 DS7-SWD and PKE motor-protective circuit-breakers
DS7-SWD soft starters can also provide the following functions when used
together with a PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker:
•Protecting the DS7 soft starter against overload
•adjustable current limitation,
•ZMR overload relay function (in the event of an overload, the DS7 soft
starter will switch off the load, instead of the PKE motor-protective
circuit-breaker doing so)
•Currents readable via SmartWire-DT
→After a motor protective device has tripped, the soft starter and
the protective device cannot be switched on again until it has
cooled down. The reset depends on the temperature.
Figure 21: Motor-starter combination: DS7-SWD and PKE
→Only PKE trip blocks (PKE-XTUWA-32, PKE-XTUA-…) should be
used for motor protection in combination with DS7 soft starters.
PKE trip block PKE-XTUCP-… for system protection must not be

40 DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com
In this case, a PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker is connected to the
DS7-SWD soft starter with the PKE32-COM communication cable via the
PKE-XTUA-… trip block. Data will be exchanged between the data interfaces
of the PKE trip block.
If the DS7-SWD soft starter is connected to a SmartWire-DT network, the
DS7-SWD soft starter will transmit the data for the PKE trip block (currents)
to a higher-level main controller (PLC).
2.10 Cables, contactors, line filters
The cables used must meet the requirements of locally applicable
regulations at the site of installation.
Large dimensioned cables and contactors are required when frequent
startups and high starting currents are expected. The load capacity limits of
the contactors are listed in the relevant documentation. The appropriate
assignment of mains contactor for the selected starting cycle of the soft
starters is provided in appendix under page 223.
The fuses and cable cross-sections to be selected for the incoming and
outgoing cables are also listed there.
The specifications in the Appendix refer to:
•use in control panels and machines,
•installation in the cable duct,
•a maximum ambient air temperature of +40 °C,
•normal starting frequency.
The fuses and conductor cross-sections depend on the rated operational
current of the motor as well as the start cycle (operating frequency,
overcurrent).
No line filters or chokes are needed.
→In applications with an overdimensioned soft starter, the
minimum connectable terminal capacity of the soft starter must
be taken into account and the motor must be wired if necessary
with a larger conductor cross-section.
→When selecting the cable cross-section, take into account the
voltage drop under load.
Compliance to further standards is the responsibility of the user.

2.11 Motor connection
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 41
2.11 Motor connection
DS7 soft starters enable the operation of different variants of three-phase
asynchronous motors:
•Standard three-phase asynchronous motor,
•Pole-changing motors (Dahlander motors),
•Slipring rotor motors,
•External rotor motors (fan motors, roller drives),
Within this context, a “standard motor” refers to a four-pole, internally
cooled or surface-cooled three-phase asynchronous motor with a speed of
1500 rpm at 50 Hz or 1800 rpm at 60 Hz.
2.11.1 Connection configurations (star/delta configuration)
A three-phase asynchronous motor can be connected to the DS7 soft starter
in a star or delta circuit – depending on the mains voltage. This type of setup
uses a standard connection configuration, also referred to as outside-the-
delta wiring (with three connection cables).
In a 3 ×400 V supply system, the following motors are generally operated:
•up to approx. 4 kW motor output can be switched in a star connection
(230/400 V),
•over 4 kW motor output in a delta circuit (400/690 V).
Do not connect three-phase motors with starpoint-earthing (star circuit) or
motors with a neutral conductor connection to DS7
soft starters (see fig. 23),
as one phase is always connected directly to mains voltage and will heat up
the motor excessively.

The clockwise rotation of the motor shaft is achieved by connecting in phase
sequence (clockwise rotating field with ascending numerical order of phases
and ascending alphabetical order of terminal designations). The operating
direction of the motor shaft is reversed by swapping round two connection
phases.

Table 9: Connection of Soft starters and motor
The motor’s direction of rotation can be reversed with the DS7 soft starter
if the soft starter is used together with a reversing contactor combination.
When reversing the operating direction, the output of the soft starter must
be disabled before the reverse switching is carried out. The rotating field
direction at the input will always match the rotating field direction at the
soft starter’s output (→chapter 7, “Connection examples”).

2.11.5 Connection of AC motors
AC motors can also be operated with the DS7 soft starters series. Only the
version of the three-phase asynchronous motor with a capacitor (Steinmetz
circuit) is considered suitable for industrial use.
In practice, single-phase motors up to an output of around 2.2 kW (230 V) are
used. In the Steinmetz circuit, metal paper capacitors (450 V) with around 60
to 80 μF per kilowatt motor output are required (DIN 48501).
When connected to a single-phase AC supply, they form an auxiliary phase
with a phase shift of around 90°. Compared to the required phase shift of
120° this causes an elliptical rotating field. As a result, the starting torque
(MA) is reduced to around 30 % of the rated-load torque (MN). If a higher
starting torque is required (90 - 100 %), additional starting capacitors must be
used which are only switched for the startup phase, in parallel to the
operation capacitor. During operation, the torque is around 70 % of the
normal motor output.

2.11.6 Long motor supply cables
DS7 soft starters set no limit on the length of the motor cable.
In practical applications, motor cable lengths up to approx. 100 m can be
connected without any additional measures. Larger cable cross sections may
be necessary above this length. From around 300 m upward, a detailed
engineering (cable cross-section, overdimensioning of the soft starter etc.)
is advisable.
2.11.7 Parallel motor connection
Several motors can be connected in parallel at the output of the DS7 soft
starter. This does not, however, allow the behavior of the individual motors
to be controlled. It must be taken into account that an even run-up of all
motors cannot be ensured. If motors are mechanically interconnected, the
load distribution is also uncertain. In this case, the entire drive torque may
possibly only be supplied by a single motor, which may cause this motor to
be overloaded. In this type of application, soft starters should be used for
each single motor and the motors should be started with a current limiting
function. With a DS7-SWD... soft starter this can only be implemented in
conjunction with the networkable PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker.
Alternatively, a soft starter of the DM4 series or its successor may be
required.
→In practical applications, three-phase asynchronous motors with
capacitors (Steinmetz circuit) are only started with a soft starter
on the single-phase AC supply if the load requires a reduced
starting torque (such as with continuous flow machines, pumps
or fans).
→The operating direction determines the connection (L1 or N) of
the auxiliary line with the capacitor.
→When dimensioning the cable, the voltage drop caused by the
cable length to the motor must be taken into account.

Motors with considerably different motor outputs (e.g. 1.5 kW and 11 kW)
should not be connected in parallel to the output of a soft starter. Reason:
Starting problems may occur in the motor with the lower output since this
cannot provide the required torque.
It is therefore advisable to only use motors with similar ratings (maximum
deviation: one rating size).
Figure 30: Parallel operation of multiple motors on a soft starter (variant 2)
2.11.8 Connecting motors
If motors are connected in parallel and an additional motor is connected to
the soft starter’s output during ongoing operation, the soft starter will not
carry out a soft start for the new motor. However, the soft starter must be
able to deliver the entire inrush current (approx. 6 to 8 times the rated motor
current) and the current for the remaining motors. Otherwise, an overload
will occur and the soft starter may be destroyed in the worst case.
→The total current consumption of all connected motors must not
exceed the rated operational current Ie of the soft starter.
The overdimensioning of the soft starter is recommended if the
individual motors have high starting currents.
→Each motor must be protected from overcurrent and thermal
overload (using overload relays and/or thermistor protection).
→Motor-protective circuit-breakers (Q11, Q12) can also be used
here instead of the overload relays (F11, F12).
→The last connected motor must not be switched off in operation
since the resulting voltage peaks may cause damage to the
electronic components in the soft starter and thus to its failure.

This requires the observance of a specific switching sequence (→section 7,

2.11.10 Motors with power factor correction capacitor
If capacitors are to be used for power factor correction and thus to improve
the power factor, they must be connected to the mains side of the soft
starter.
The following Figure 31 shows on the right a safe arrangement.
During the startup and stop phase (generalized phase control), the power
factor correction capacitors are disconnected. After the start time (t-Start)
elapses, they are connected via the TOR signal of the soft starter and the
capacitor contactor Q12, which disconnect them at the beginning of the stop
time (t-Stop).
Figure 31: Reactive current compensated motor
Left: impermissible connection;
Right: permissible connection
→When starting several motors with one soft starter the thermal
load of the soft starter (starting frequency, current load) must be
taken into account.
If the starts occur closely in succession, the soft starter must be
dimensioned larger (i.e. the soft starter must be designed with
an accordingly higher load cycle).
→In networks with electronically controlled consumers (e.g. soft
starters), the compensation devices must always be connected
with a series inductance.

a bypass contactor (Q22). This is used to fully isolate the soft starter. In this
case, it is important that the output circuit is not opened during operation.
An interlock ensures that a switchover is only possible after a stop.
The electrical and/or mechanical interlocking of contactors Q22 and Q31
ensures a safe operating state.
CAUTION
The output of a soft starter must not be connected to any
capacitive loads (capacitors)!
This would damage the soft starter.
→Devices of the DS7-34… series are already equipped with
integrated bypass contacts.
An external bypass is therefore not required.
→Unlike simple bypass operation (parallel contact with the
thyristors in continuous operation), the bypass contactor must
be designed here in accordance with utilization category AC-3
since it must be able to start the motor directly. For a suitable
contactor, the contactor recommended in the Appendix
(→page 223) can be used.

2.11.13 Repair and maintenance switch
Repair and maintenance switches disconnect all the poles (all the phases) in
the connection cable to a motor. This prevents voltage from being applied
and the motor from being started by accident during repair and maintenance
work.
The DS7 soft starter has a two-phase circuit with semiconductor elements in
the power section, one phase is always connected through directly.
Because of this, all the poles (all three phases) in two-phase controlled soft
starters should always be disconnected from mains voltage in the stop state
– with a contactor connected in series on the mains side, for example.
If a control system does not provide this potential isolation, it is advisable
to connect the motor through a repair or maintenance switch.
DANGER
In both the disabled and stop states of the soft starter when the
mains voltage is present (terminals 1L1, 3L2, 5L3), there is also
a dangerous voltage present at the output terminals (2T1, 4T2,
6T3) and therefore also on the motor cables and connection
terminals of the motor (U, V, W)!

2.12 Loading conditions
DS7 soft starters are designed for a standard duty cycle as defined for
AC-53a in product standard IEC/EN 60947-2-1. This means:
3-fold overcurrent for 5 seconds with a duty factor of 75 % and 10 starts
per hour. For example: 4A: AC-53a: 3-5: 75-10
With applications such as water pumps (circulating pumps) the DS7 soft
starter with the assigned rated operational current can be selected. When
different operating frequencies, acceleration and/or starting currents are
involved, the thermal capacity of the DS7 soft starter must be taken into
account in the design.
2.12.1 Overload capability (load to AC-53a)
The table below shows the overload capability of the soft starter in
accordance with the product standard IEC/EN 60 947-4-2. It shows:
X = Value of basic overcurrent in multiples of the rated device current
Tx = Duration of the overcurrent X in seconds
F = Duty factor within the load cycle in %
S = Number of permissible starts per hour
2.12.2 Conversion of the overload capability to lower overcurrents
The stated cycle can be converted for lower overcurrents, but not for higher!
The following formula is used to calculate the new time:
Txnew = New permissible time for the new overcurrent Xnew
Xnew = Required overcurrent (must be less than the stated values)
Example
For X = 3, Tx= 5 s: With a reduced overcurrent (X = 2.5) a new permissible
overcurrent duration Txnew of 7.2 seconds is calculated.
→The appendix (→page 219) contains overload curves for various
time, current, and starts-per-hour combinations that can be used
to select the right DS7 soft starter for your application.

2.12.3 Different overload current
If load cycles or start frequencies are different, the following graphs can be
used for reading the possible time current combination.
The example shown here is a 30 kW motor (400 V, 55 A) with an assigned
DS7-34xSX055… soft starter (55 A, rated operational current = motor
current). The maximum starting current of 165 A (ILRP) can be achieved for
5 s at 10 starts per hour (overload factor X = 3).
e
The prospective locked rotor current ILRP is the motor current that occurs
when the rated operating voltage is applied and the rotor is locked
(ILRP =XxI

Figure 36: Overload current X = 3 with DS7-34xSX055… soft starter
If a higher overload current (e.g. X ~ 5) is required, the start conditions stated
here require a DS7-34xSX100… (100 A) soft starter. The ILRP value here is
300 A for 5 s at 10 starts per hour. The required X ~ 5 (5 x 55 A = 275 A) is
thus fulfilled (X ~5.4).

2.13 Design with different load cycles
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 57
2.13 Design with different load cycles
The DS7 soft starter is designed for a standard load cycle in accordance with
AC-53a of the IEC/EN 60947-2-1 product standard. This means:
3-fold overcurrent for 5 seconds with a duty factor of 75 % and 10 starts per
hour. For example: 4A: AC-53a: 3-5: 75-10
With applications such as water pumps (circulating pumps) the DS7 soft
starter with the assigned rated operational current can be selected. When
different operating frequencies, acceleration and/or starting currents are
involved, the thermal capacity of the DS7 soft starter must be taken into
account in the design.
2.14 Overtemperature (Derating)
All rated operational data of the DS7 soft starter is based on a maximum
ambient air temperature of +40 °C. The maximum permissible ambient air
temperature is +60 °C. Higher ambient air temperatures (> +40 °C) require
a reduced rated operational current Ie:
•2 percent per degree Kelvin for a stand-alone setup
•1 percent per kelvin for stand-alone setups with a dedicated DS7-FAN-…
device fan
Example
Ambient air temperature ϑ = +50 °C → 10 K abnormal temperature rise
Soft starter DS7-34xSX032… → Ie = 32 A
•Without a fan: 2 %, 10 K → 20 % Ie = 6.4 A,
Ie (reduced) = 32 A - 6.4 A = 25.6 A
•With a fan: 1 %, 10 K → 10 % Ie = 3.2 A,
Ie (reduced) = 32 A - 3.2 A = 28.8 A
In combination with the xStart components, further reductions are necessary
since the cooling air flow is impeded. The load cycle must then be
recalculated (→section 2.15, “Example of other load cycles”).
→The appendix (→page 219) contains overload curves for various
time, current, and starts-per-hour combinations that can be used
to select the right DS7 soft starter for your application.

3.3 Flush mounting in control panel
The mounting should take into account the weight and dimensions of the
soft starter. If necessary the appropriate technical resources (lifting cart or
crane for large weights) and tools must be used. Improper handling or use of
the wrong tools may cause damage to the soft starter.
The Soft starter DS7 is only designed for use as built-in device.
Take sufficient counter measures in the case of:
•Contaminated cooling air, such as dust, fluff, grease:
This can cause short-circuits on the cards
(counter measures: installation of filters, separate ventilation circuit).
•Aggressive gases:
These can corrode circuit-board conductors
(counter measures: flush mounting of filters, separate ventilation circuit).
•Contaminated filters:
These can cause overheating (counter measure: regular cleaning).
To prevent overheating, observe the following points:
•Ensure the free flow of the cooling air both to and from the device.
•No devices that produce considerable amounts of heat in the proximity of
the soft starter.
•Observe the mounting clearance above and below the soft starter as the
temperature of the cooling air will otherwise reach impermissible values
and the soft starter will switch off.

3.3.1 Increased cooling
Cooling air circulation on the DS7 soft starter can be improved by using an
optional DS7-FAN-… device fan
This makes the following possible:
•Operation at higher ambient air temperatures
•A compact setup and directly combining the unit with other components
•A higher number of starts per hour
The choice of device fan is based on the rated operational current (yyy) for
the corresponding size.
Table 11: Device fans for the various rated operational currents
→The supplied cooling air must have a temperature between
-5 and +40 °C. A derating is required for higher temperatures
(upto +60.maximum):
•2 percent of the rated operational current Ie per Kelvin (K)
temperature rise from +40 °C
•1 percent of rated operational current Ie per kelvin (K) of
temperature rise
after
+40 °C

→DS7-FAN-… device fans are temperature-controlled, always run
during ramp times (t-Start, t-Stop), and will continue running
until the heat sink cools down again. The fan is then
automatically switched off.
→It is advisable to install device fan DS7-FAN-… before installing
soft starter DS7 in the basic device.
This helps prevent additional steps for removal and changes in
the installation.

3.3.3 Mounting instructions (size 3 and 4)
3.3.3.1 Free surrounding areas
With sizes 3 and 4 (41 to 200 A), a mounting clearance of 5 mm to the front
of the DS7 soft starter must be maintained. A top and bottom clearance of
75 mm each is required.
If the clearances are smaller, derating will be necessary or it will be
necessary to install an optional DS7-FAN-100 (for size 3) or DS7-FAN-200
(for size 4) device fan.
When combined with the NZM1 or NZM2 motor-protective circuit-breaker
and the NZM1/2-AB spacers, the minimum clearance ① between the DS7
soft starter and the NZM motor-protective circuit-breaker is:
•≧25 mm at NZM1 (BG 3),
•≧35 mm at NZM2 (BG 4).
The spacers ② are fitted underneath the NZM motor-protective circuit-
breakers and allow the required thermal air circulation for the heat sink of
the soft starter.

3.4 Electrical Installation
DANGER – DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Carry out wiring work only after the Soft starter has been
correctly mounted and secured.
Carry out wiring work only if the unit is de-energized.
WARNING – FIRE HAZARD!
Only use cables, circuit-breakers, and contactors that feature
the indicated permissible nominal current value.
NOTICE
The devices contain components that are sensitive to
electrostatic charges. Before undertaking work near the
terminals, personnel must discharge themselves (i.e. by
touching a PE fixing screw or another grounded metal surface
in the control panel).
DANGER
The power section of the soft starter contains semiconductor
components. These do not have any isolation between the
supply and the load. Small leakage currents are always therefore
present.An upstream disconnector must therefore be switched
off before working on the soft starter or motor.
DANGER
Before connecting the DS7 soft starter’s power terminals to
voltage for the first time, the control voltage needs to be applied
in order to ensure that the internal bypass contacts will open.
This is necessary in order to prevent the motor from starting
unintentionally.

The control section in the DS7 soft starter can be powered with the following
voltages using terminals +Us/-Us (sizes 2, 3, and 4) or +Us/-A2 (size 1):
•24 V DC/AC at DS7-340…
•120 - 230 V AC at DS7-342…

DS7-34D…-D soft starters can be powered directly through the
SmartWire-DT ribbon cable.
3.4.6 Internal device voltages
The DS7 soft starters do not provide any internal voltage.
3.4.7 Ground control voltage
All control signal terminals of the DS7 soft starter are galvanically isolated
from the power section. Connecting the control voltage on the DS7 soft
starter to earth is not necessary.
→At a high load on the PSU supplying the SWD (many modules,
signaling lamps,
soft starters)
soft starter
DS7 can also be
supplied with control voltage through control signal terminals U
s
or
further SmartWire-DT PSUs (gateway EU5C-SWD-PF…).
If power is fed through control signal terminals
Us the 24 V
connection on the SWD gateway must be switched off.
→Ensure that the regulator supply voltage and the control signals
always have the same potential and are supplied from the same
voltage source.
NOTICE
In size 1 devices, connection terminals +Us, +A1, and 13
(via the TOR contact) have a common reference potential (-A2).
The switched voltage (TOR) and the control voltages (+Us, +A1)
must be the same here!
→If control voltage earthing requirements must be complied with
(e.g., Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines,
EN 60204) earthing must be implemented at the power supply
source (control transformer, power supply unit).

3.4.8 Relay contacts
The soft starters of the DS7 series are provided with one or two relays with
an N/O contact depending on the current range. The relays are galvanically
isolated from the power section.
Table 16: Relay contacts
In applications in which the relay contacts (TOR, RUN / READY) control
external contactors, the contactor coil must be connected in order to
increase interference immunity:
•for AC voltage with an RC filter,
•for DC voltage with free-wheel diode.
The illustration below shows the operating points for the Run signals at relay
contacts TOR (13/14) and RUN (23/24).

The RUN relay (control signal terminal 23/24 sizes 2, 3 and 4 only) closes
together with the start command at control signal terminal +A1. The start
ramp (t-Start) is enabled around 100 ms later. This makes it possible to
switch an optional mains contactor on and off via the RUN relay. If there is no
voltage present at the power section by this time of 100 ms, the DS7 soft
starter switches off with the “phase failure” fault signal.
The TOR relay (control signal terminals 13/14, or 13/-A2 in the case of size 1)
will be switched on after the set t-Start time elapses (the contact will close).
The TOR contact will open again (the relay will be de-energized) if the start
command on control signal terminal +A1 is turned off or if the DS7 soft
starter detects a fault.
→Soft starters DS7 of the size
1 (up to 12 A) have no
RUN / READY
relay.
The TOR relay in this size has different terminal designations
and has the same reference potential (-A2) as the control
voltage.

3.6 Insulation test
The soft starters of the DS7 series are tested, delivered and require no
additional testing.
If insulation testing is required in the power circuit of the motor feeder, you
must consider the following measures.
•Checking the motor cable insulation
Disconnect the motor cable from the connection terminals 2/T1, 4/T2 and
6/T3 from the soft starter and from the motor (U, V, W). The insulation
resistance of the motor cable between the individual phase conductors
and between each phase conductor and the protective conductor can be
measured. The insulation resistance must be greater than 1 MΩ.
•Checking the mains cable insulation
Disconnect the mains cable from the mains power supply and from the
connection terminals 1/L1, 3/L2 and 5/L3 of the soft starter. The
insulation resistance of the mains cable between the individual phase
conductors and between each phase conductor and the protective
conductor can be measured. The insulation resistance must be greater
than 1 MΩ.
•Checking the motor insulation
Disconnect the motor cable from the motor (U, V, W) and open the
bridge circuits (star or delta) in the motor terminal box. The insulation
resistance can then be measured between the individual motor windings.
The measurement voltage must at least match the rated operating
voltage of the motor but is not to exceed 1000 V.
The insulation resistance must be greater than 1 MΩ.
CAUTION
On the control signal and the connection terminals of the soft
starter, no leakage resistance tests are to be performed with an
insulation tester.
→Consider the notes from the motor manufacturer in testing the
insulation resistance.

DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 95
4.2 Commissioning
The factory settings for DS7-34… soft starters are configured in such a way
as to allow a suitably rated 4-pole standard motor to be run in typical soft
starter applications without the need for any additional adjustments.
In addition, soft starters belonging to the DS7-34D… series also feature a
1-0-A switch that can be used to manually switch the soft starter on and off.
The 1-0-A switch’s positions have the following functions:
•1: DS7-SWD = ON
•0: DS7-SWD = OFF
•A: Control via SmartWire-DT (PNU 928.0) or via control signal terminals /
potentiometers
The 1-0-A switch can be used for starting and stopping the motor only if soft
starter DS7-34D... is supplied with 24 V DC through the SmartWire-DT ribbon
cable or the control signal terminals Us.
NOTICE
Make sure that there is no danger in starting the motor.
Disconnect the driven machine if there is a danger in an
incorrect operating state.
NOTICE
Before switching on the soft starter, check whether the
permissible ambient conditions have not been exceeded and
that there is no moisture inside the device. Storing the soft
starter in a cool place for example may cause moisture to occur.
If moisture has penetrated the device, ensure that it is
completely dried.
NOTICE
The electrical installation and commissioning must only be
carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
The user is responsible for ensuring suitable earthing and cable
protection for the incoming unit in accordance with local and
national regulations.
The motor must be protected from overloads!

4.3 Extended functionality
96 DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com
4.3 Extended functionality
This extended functionality is only available on DS7-340… and DS7-342…
models.
Scope of extended functionality
•Relay 23 can be reprogrammed from RUN to READY.
•An input-side check of the phase sequence can be enabled.
Setting the potentiometers
To activate the extended functionality, set the potentiometers as follows:
•t-Start: Max: 30 s
•U-Start: Max: 100 %
•t-Stop: About 65 % (do not select the maximum or the minimum value)
If the potentiometers are set to settings other than the ones shown above,
the DS7 soft starter will keep its configuration, i.e., the relay function and
phase sequence detection function will keep behaving the same way as the
last time before the device was switched off.
Configure
When the control section’s power supply is activated, there will be a two-
second configuration period, provided that the potentiometers have been set
to the correct settings. During this configuration period, the green LED and
the red LED will show a solid light. If no adjustments are made during these
two seconds, the DS7 soft starter will keep its previous configuration.
Changing the relay functionality from RUN to READY and vice versa
▶Change the value for t-Start from Max to Min and then back from Min to
Max within the configuration period (2 seconds).
•After this, the green LED will flash for 1 second with a frequency of
8Hz if the RUN functionality has been activated (default).
•On the other hand, the red LED will flash for 1 second with a
frequency of 8 Hz if the READY functionality has been activated
instead (Extended).
Enabling/disabling the phase sequence check
▶Change the value for U-Start from Max to Min and then back from Min
to Max within the configuration period (2 seconds).
•After this, the green LED will flash for 1 second with a frequency of
8 Hz if the phase sequence error detection function has been
disabled (default).
•On the other hand, the red LED will flash for 1 second with a
frequency of 8 Hz if the phase sequence error detection function
has been enabled instead (Extended).

Possible reasons for this include:
•The functionality was not configured fast enough
(i.e., within the 2-second configuration period).
•The configuration steps were not carried out with the required precision.
•t-Start and U-Start were adjusted simultaneously.

The soft starters can be adjusted as necessary for the application at hand by
using the three potentiometers, which are labeled U-Start, t-Start, and
t-Stop respectively. Aside from these potentiometer settings, no additional
settings or prompts are required in order to run the soft starters.
When using DS7-SWD soft starters, these potentiometer settings can be
adjusted by means of parameters.

4.4.1.1 U-Start
The start voltage U-start determines the torque of the motor.
Low values produce soft starting and a higher thermal load of the motor.
If the voltage is too low, the motor may not start immediately. In this case,
the voltage should be set higher in order to avoid any unnecessary heating of
the motor.
The motor’s torque is proportional to the square of the start voltage.
Because of this, voltages lower than 30 % of mains voltage ULN are not
recommended. This value corresponds to around 10 % of the starting torque
of a motor in direct mains operation. When using a star-delta configuration,
the motor will start with approximately 30 % of the starting torque.
4.4.1.2 t-Start
The t-Start starting time is used to set the time in which the motor voltage
will be increased from a starting value of U-Start to 100 % ULN, therefore
accelerating the motor smoothly. If this starting time is too long,
the motor
and
the soft starter will be subjected to high temperature loads. This can
cause the safety devices
to
trip. Because of this, the shortest possible
starting time should be selected.
The ramp times should always be configured in a way that makes sense for
the specific machine application at hand.
Examples:
•With conveyor belts select a time so that the transported goods do not
topple.
•With belt drives, the time should be selected so that the belts do not
slip.
Some drives (e.g. a motor in idle operation or unloaded drives) reach the
rated speed already at the beginning or during the soft start ramp. In this
case, the t-Start setting must be reduced in such a way that any unnecessary
motor heating will be avoided.
→Set start voltage U-Start to a voltage that is high enough to
cause the motor to rotate immediately with the start command.
This will prevent unnecessary motor heating.
→Depending on the load and duty cycle, more starts per hour may
be possible when using shorter start times. Conversely, longer
start times will mean fewer starts per hour.
→Excessively short start times may lead to the internal relay being
overloaded.

4.4.1.3 t-Stop
In the industry, the t-Stop stop ramp is used predominantly for applications
involving pumps, conveyor belts, and belt drives. For example, it can be used
to prevent goods being conveyed from toppling over (e.g., bottles on a
conveyor belt), V-belts from slipping, and water impact caused by valves
being closed from occurring.
With all other applications, the parameter t-Stop can also be set to zero in
order to prevent any unnecessary temperature rise in the motor.
A soft stop ramp has the same temperature characteristics as a start. It also
therefore causes the heating of the soft starter and motor, and must be
taken into account when determining the starting frequency. The stop ramp
terminates at a set value of U-Start. A correct setting will cause the minimum
torque to be generated at which the motor still turns. At lower voltages
(torques), the machine remains at standstill due to losses or friction.
The stop ramp is activated when the start command is turned off (low signal
on control signal terminal +A1). The drive then moves with the set stop time
(t-Stop) to the value of the start voltage (U-Start). When this is reached, the
soft starter switches off the output. If the motor still is still turning, it will
perform an uncontrolled stop from this point. The soft stop time is default set
to 0 s, in other words the motor performs an uncontrolled stop.

If the start command (+A1) is activated again while the stop ramp is active
(t-Stop time active), the soft stop will be aborted and a soft start will be
carried out starting from the latest output voltage and start ramp (t-Start)
values.

→In the case of size 3 and 4 (Ie≧41 A) devices, the stop
command without a ramp function can also be achieved by

→In the case of devices with SmartWire-DT, the stop command
can also be activated, with or without a soft stop, via
SmartWire-DT.
For more information, see →chapter 8, “SmartWire-DT”.
→In the case of size 3 and size 4 devices without SmartWire-DT,

.
No. Occupation
1 Set the potentiometer or the U-Start parameter as per the recommendation in the table above or,
as a general setting, turn t-Start to approximately 50% (15 s) and t-Stop to its minimum value
(0 = coasting).
2 Starting
After a maximum time of one second, the motor should start to turn, otherwise deactivate the
start signal (or on devices from 41 A the Enable signal) immediately.
If the motor has turned, proceed with point 3.
If the motor has not started, increase U-Start by around 10 % (to around 40 %).
Wait a minute for cooling and repeat step 1.
3 Optimizing t-Start: The motor should accelerate evenly from standstill to rated speed at
rated load. When it has reached rated speed, the set ramp time should have completed
(U2=U
LN, = TOR).
4 Repeat the start process. After every start, wait around five minutes in order to allow the unit
to cool down.
5 Run-up optimization
•If the drive accelerates faster than the set ramp time (t-Start), shorten this as much as
this application allows.
•If the application requires more time for the acceleration than the set ramp time, increase
the value of t-Start – unless the load cycle of the soft starter is exceeded.
•If the acceleration time is longer than the limits set in step 4 or 5, let the soft starter cool
down for 5 minutes, increase the ramp time and proceed with step 4.
6 If a stop ramp is needed, the time set (t-Stop) should be longer than the machine’s coasting time
in order for the stop ramp to have an effect. As a soft stop produces a current increase, observe
the thermal output capacity (load cycle) of the soft starter (number of starts per hour). Within this
context, the stop ramp must be considered equivalent to a start in terms of thermal
characteristics.
→If the required settings for an application exceed the permissible
load cycle of the soft starter, a larger device must be selected
accordingly.
→The soft starter heats up at the start. In order to avoid
overheating, make sure to adhere to the required cool-down
times without fail. If there will be frequent starts during normal
operation, the soft starter may have to be oversized under
certain circumstances and/or optional fan DS7-FAN… may have
to be used.
For more information, refer to the “Technical data” appendix.
Additional information including application and sizing examples
is found in manual MN03902001Z-EN, “Sizing Soft Starters.”

4.6 Start the motor
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 105
4.6 Start the motor
The motor accelerates at the set values when the start command (high
signal) is applied at control terminal +A1. In the case of frame sizes 3 and 4,
the EN signal must be present before +A1. The actual acceleration time can
differ from the set values, depending on the load. After the start is
completed, the soft starter switches to the operating phase.
4.7 Operation
Switching on the motor side is permissible for a safety disconnection
(emergency switching off).
DANGER
On no account must you open the device if the supply voltage
is switched on. Danger to life!
DANGER
Soft starters are electrical apparatus for use in power
installations in industrial applications. During operation
hazardous live parts and hot surfaces are present on the soft
starter. These present a risk of serious injury!
DANGER
The impermissible removal of the required cover, improper
installation or incorrect operation of the motor or soft starter can
cause the failure of the device and serious injury and/or material
damage.
DANGER
If the device displays an error message, this must be examined
carefully. If a hardware fault is indicated, it is possible that not all
phases of the soft starter have disconnected. Before working on
the device or motor, they must be securely isolated beforehand
from the mains supply without fail (e.g. switch off circuit-
breaker).
→If the drive is not isolated from the supply when stationary
(mains contactor, main switch), it may start up accidentally in
the event of a malfunction. Even if the motor is stationary,
the terminals are still energized (leakage current across the
thyristors, uncontrolled phase)
DANGER
One phase to the motor is internally bridged, which means that
a supply phase is still directly present at the motor even when it
is switched off. Danger in the event of contact!

5.1 Fault retrieval
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 115
5 Diagnostics
5.1 Fault retrieval
The following information provides help in fault detection and
troubleshooting. Some possible faults are described below.
5.1.1 Motor not starting
Possible causes:
•Start signal (+A1) not present.
•Enable signal (EN) not present (only with size 3 and 4).
•No start or enable signal via SmartWire-DT (DS7-SWD only).
•Mains voltage (ULN) not present.
•Regulator supply voltage (Us) not present.
•Ramp time (t-Start) too long.
•Start voltage (U-Start) too low.
•DS7 diagnostics LED (Error) lights up.
5.1.2 Motor stops immediately after start completed
Possible causes:
•Switch off due to error message (Error), e.g. phase fault or frequency
fault.
•Start signal (+A1) and/or enable signal (EN, only size 3 and 4) were
deactivated.
•The connection, or signal transmission, via SmartWire-DT is faulty or has
been interrupted (DS7-SWD only).
5.1.3 Motor running unevenly
Possible causes:
•Motor output/motor current too low (<< 1.5 kW at 400 V)
•too low centrifugal masses or no load on motor.
•oscillating loads.
•Slipping V-belts (check the load and the belt tension).
→The housing of the DS7 soft starter does not have to be opened
for diagnostics and fault detection tasks. The design of the soft
starter does not allow for it to be opened, and this may cause
lasting damage to the housing.
All possible fault causes can be determined by means of the
relevant indicators (LEDs, relays) or by taking measurements at
the connection terminals.
DS7-34D…-D soft starters can also be diagnosed using
SmartWire-DT (by reading the corresponding parameters).
5 Diagnostics
5.2 Acknowledgment of error messages
116 DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com
5.1.4 Motor consuming too much current
Possible causes:
•motor overload.
•Ramp time (t-Start) too long.
•start voltage too low (U-Start).
•start voltage too high (U-Start).
5.1.5 Connected motor overheating
Possible causes:
•Ramp time (t-Start) too long.
•too many starts in succession.
•start voltage too high (U-Start).
•Heavy starting duty with this motor rating not or only not sufficiently
allowed for when selected.
5.2 Acknowledgment of error messages
Potential fault sources can be determined by checking the indications and
flashing frequencies of the RUN and Error LEDs and using tables 18 to 21.
Once the source of a fault has been fixed or eliminated, a restart can be
carried out.
Certain error messages can be acknowledged during operation if
•The control signal on terminal +A1 is switched off and then back on
•The corresponding bits are set again if SmartWire-DT-based control is
being used

DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 117
6 Parameterization
6.1 Operating principles
The soft starter is controlled as follows:
•Via control signal terminals in the case of DS7-340… and DS7-342…
soft starters
•Via SmartWire-DT in the case of DS7-34D…-D soft starters
By configuring the appropriate parameters (in DS7-34D…-D units) or
adjusting the potentiometers on the front, DS7 soft starters can be adjusted
as necessary for the application at hand. All setting values are stored in
parameters.
6.2 Default settings of the basic device
The soft starters of the DS7 series are factory set so that no settings are
required for standard applications.
The most important default settings are listed below.
Table 23: DS7 soft starter default settings
→The connection examples shown in the following chapter are
based on the standard versions of soft starter DS7.
Additional functions of the communications-capable versions of
the DS7 soft starters (DS7-34D…-D) are described in
→chapter 8, “SmartWire-DT”.

Example for accessories required:
S3 = M22-WRK… selector switch with three switch positions
Q31 = DILA-22(…) contactor + DILA… auxiliary contact module
When in the R position (FWD), S3 will use contact 23/24 to apply the enable
signal ① to the DS7 soft starter (+A1 control signal terminal). The rotation is
reversed with S3 via the zero position (off) to position L (REV).
The contactor Q31 is activated and switches the enable signal ① via the
auxiliary contact 53/54 to the DS7 soft starter (control terminal +A1).

7.3.7 Bypass circuit for emergency operation
In pump applications the bypass circuit is often required to provide emergency
operation capability. A service switch (key switch) is used to select the bypass
circuit between soft starter operation and DOL starter operation. This is used to
fully isolate the soft starter.
In this case, it is important that the output circuit is not opened during operation.
The interlocks in the controller ensure that a switchover is only possible after a
stop.
Figure 109: Actuation with bypass emergency operation – pump operation
The electrical and/or mechanical interlocking of contactors Q22 and Q31 ensures
safe operating states.
→Devices of the DS7-34… series are equipped with integrated
bypass contacts. External bypass contacts are therefore not
required for standard operation.
→Unlike the simple bypass operation, in this case the bypass
contactor must be designed in accordance with utilization
category AC-3. For a suitable contactor, see our recommended
mains contactor in the Appendix (→page 221).

7.3.8 Starting several motors sequentially with a soft starter
If you will be starting several motors one after the other with a single soft starter,
make sure to follow the changeover sequence below:
▶1. Start using soft starter
▶2. Switch on bypass contactor Qn2 via TOR
▶3. Disable soft starter
▶4. Switch soft starter output with Qn1 to the next motor
▶5. Restart
→When starting several motors with one soft starter the thermal
load of the soft starter (starting frequency, current load) must be
taken into account.
If the starts occur closely in succession, the soft starter must be
dimensioned larger (i.e. the soft starter must be designed with
an accordingly higher load cycle).
→Due to the thermal design of the DS7 soft starters, we
recommend the use of an (optional) fan when using a DS7
series device for starting several motors.

8.1 Introduction
DS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 145
8 SmartWire-DT
8.1 Introduction
The SmartWire-DT connection system is an intelligent system and makes
possible the reliable and easy connection of switching devices, pilot devices
and I/O components with overriding bus systems. The components that are
connected with the SmartWire-DT system are linked, e.g. to PROFIBUS-DP
or CANopen communication networks via gateways using SmartWire-DT
masters.
With the SmartWire-DT system up to 99 modules can be connected to form
a network. Modules can include SmartWire-DT I/O modules or SmartWire-DT
modules for contactors or pilot devices. The electrical connection is effected
via a special 8-pole connecting lead and the relevant plugs.
Soft starters with part no. DS7-34D…-D… (abbreviated as “DS7-SWD” here)
are capable of being connected to a SmartWire-DT system and to a higher-
level PLC as a result. These soft starters can be controlled and monitored via
SmartWire-DT, and their parameters can be configured via SmartWire-DT as
well.
Depending on the specific model and field of application, DS7-SWD soft
starters can be combined and operated together with an NZM circuit-
breaker, a PKZ motor-protective circuit-breaker, or a PKE electronic motor-
protective circuit-breaker as a safety device. In addition, it is possible to
connect a PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker to SmartWire-DT via a DS7-
SWD soft starter and to read its information this way as well. For this
purpose, the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker features an electronic trip
block with its own communication module.
→This chapter uses the original English terms that appear
throughout a variety of specifications (e.g., SmartWire-DT,
PROFIdrive) →section 8.4, “Abbreviations”.

If you replace a DS7-SWD soft starter in a supply system, you will have to
press the configuration button after replacing it and switching on the voltage.
This ensures that the new soft starter is assigned a network address.

8.9.1 Introduction
Cyclic and acyclic data as well as diagnostic data can be transferred via the
SmartWire-DT system. The number of cyclic data is variable and is defined
with the aid of profiles.
DS7-SWD soft starters (with or without a PKE motor-protective circuit-
breaker) are designed in such a way as to match the following profiles and
meet the following standards:
•PROFIdrive profile
•the PKE profiles already implemented in the PKE-SWD-032 connection,
•The standard specified by SmartWire-DT.
The appropriate profile can be selected by the user.
8.9.2 State diagrams
The state diagrams used below correspond to PROFIdrive profile 4.1 and are
adapted in line with the relevant profiles. The grey boxes in the figures
represent the current state (S = State) with the help of the input bytes.
The white boxes represent the transition conditions with the help of the
relevant output byte bits. Dots are used to indicate priority levels. The more
dots a transition has, the higher its priority.
Process data level (PNU 928.0)
•0 (local): Control via control signal terminals and potentiometer.
•Sizes 1 to 4: A1 control signal terminal corresponds to the
EN_Set bit.
•Sizes 1 and 2: Since there is no EN control signal terminal,
there is an automatic transition from S3 to S4.
•Sizes 3 and 4: EN control signal terminal corresponds to the
EN_Op bit.
•1 (network): Control via SmartWire-DT.
Following are the state diagrams that depend on PNU 928.0 and on the
selected profile. The images indicate the following states:
→If the ZMR function is active, the EN_Op bit will be overwritten
with a 0 in all profiles as long as there is an overload.
More information on the ZMR function
→section 8.9.3, “Cyclic data”, page 159.
→For the available parameter numbers (PNU), see

8.9.3 Cyclic data
8.9.3.1 Introduction
The amount of cyclic input / output data (process data) for the DS7-SWD soft
starter can be adjusted as necessary for the application at hand by using the
various profiles. These profiles are selected in the hardware / PLC
configuration program (in the SWD-Assist program, for example).
There are a total of 11 cyclic profiles available for selection. The following
sections describe these profiles in detail.
Profiles 1 to 9 are designed for operating a DS7-SWD soft starter with a
PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker:
•Profiles
1,
2,
and
3
(DS7
as contactor): DS7-SWD
PKE1 to DS7-SWD PKE3
This group supports the operation of a DS7-SWD soft starter, which will
behave like a contactor in this case. Accordingly, these profiles match
the motor starter profiles for the PKE-SWD-32 motor-protective circuit-
breaker.
•Profiles 4, 5, and 6 (short): DS7-SWD PKE 1-8bit to DS7-SWD PKE3-8bit
This group complements the motor starter profiles with the I/O-link
profile.
Control and status data will be processed as per the I/O-link profile.
•Profiles 7, 8, and 9 (long): DS7-SWD PKE1-PD 2x16 bit to DS7-SWD
PKE3-PD 2x16 bit
This group complements the motor starter profiles with the PROFIdrive
profile that the PROFIBUS User Organization (PNO) has defined for the
cyclic exchange of data with drives. Control and status data will be
processed as per the PROFIdrive profile.
Profiles 10 and 11 are designed for operating a DS7-SWD soft starter without
a PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker:
•Profile 10 (Short): DS7-SWD 8 bit
•Profile 11 (Long): DS7-SWD PD 2x16 Bit = Word
Profile 11 will be set by default.
When using profiles 10 and 11, a DS7-SWD soft starter > 32 A can also be
used optionally with an upstream NZM as a safety device.

Set rated operational current Ir on PKE
The overload release value set on the PKE basic device (adjustable with a
selector switch) is reproduced by bit field Ir (input byte 1, bits 0 to 3).
The value of Ir represents the overload release’s absolute current value,
which will depend on the selected PKE trip block. Bit field Ir has the following
meaning for the different PKE trip blocks:

In the event of a malfunction or interruption of the main circuits, the reason
for the interruption will be indicated by the TRIPR bit field:

Trip reasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker have
the following effects on the DS7-SWD soft starter:
•Profiles 1, 2, 3: The DS7-SWD soft starter will be stopped. After the PKE
motor-protective circuit-breaker is switched back on, the soft starter can
be switched back on with the DS7 start/stop 1 command.
•Profiles 4, 5, 6: The DS7-SWD soft starter will be stopped. After the PKE
motor-protective circuit-breaker is switched back on, the soft starter can
be reset with the FaultAck = 1 command. The soft starter will be
switched on again directly depending on the position of the EN_Set and
EN_Op bits.
•Profiles 7, 8, 9, 11: The DS7-SWD soft starter will stop.
After the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker is switched back on, the fault
can be reset with the FaultAck = 1 command and the soft starter can be
switched back on with the relevant bits.
With the exception of trip reason “05hex Overload with activated ZMR
function,” the transmitted trip reasons will be reset if the main contacts of
the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker are closed back again and a current
flow is sensed through the PKE trip block. The “05hex Overload with
activated ZMR function” trip reason will be reset as soon as the thermal
motor map (TH) falls below a value of 100 %.
The “03hex Phase failure/Phase unbalance” message
will be set if a phase
current difference of 50 % is measured between the maximum measured
phase current and the relevant phase. The message will be reset as soon as
the phase current difference falls below 25 %.
The “Phase failure/Phase unbalance” message will not necessarily cause the
main circuits to be interrupted. In order to protect the connected motor in the
event of a phase failure or phase unbalance, the tripping time in the event of
an overcurrent will be reduced to 40 % of the value used when the phase
load is balanced. The main circuits will be interrupted early.
The “Test” position on the PKE trip block and remote tripping via the R-TRIP
output bit causes a trip if a phase current of at least 85 % of the minimum
marker of the adjustable overload release on the PKE trip block flows through
all three main circuits (example: for device PKE-XTUA-4 Ir=1A →
Imin =
0.85 x 1 A = 0.85 A).
Motor current [%] PKE (I_REL)
The DS7-SWD soft starter uses input byte 2 to provide the current motor
current to the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker. The motor current is
represented as a relative value within a range of 0 % (00hex) to 255 %
(FFhex). The relative value is calculated as the value of the maximum
measured phase current relative to the set current value of the overload
release. The accuracy of the relative current indication depends on the
measured phase current relative to the PKE trip block’s current range.
For a sufficiently accurate measurement of the phase current, a phase
current of at least 85 % of the adjustable overload release on the PKE trip
block must be flowing. The maximum measuring accuracy of the transferred
relative current value is 5 %.

Thermal motor map on PKE (TH)
Depending on the current range and the actual power flow, the PKE motor-
protective circuit-breaker calculates the thermal state of the motor and
provides it as a data byte. The thermal load of the motor is mapped via input
byte 3. The value is displayed as a relative value in the ranges 0 % (00hex) to
255 % (FFhex).
The main circuits are interrupted as a result of a motor overload if the thermal
motor image is 110 %. In the event of phase failure or phase unbalance, the
main circuits are interrupted at a value of 100 % of the thermal motor image.
In the event of a phase unbalance and trip caused by an overload, the value
of the thermal motor image is raised from 100 % to 110 %.
8.9.3.3 Selecting a profile
The appropriate profile can be selected by the user.
•A PKE will be installed upstream of the DS7-SWD unit – motor starter
compatibility:
If only a simple start/stop command is required, any of the three PKE
profiles can be chosen based on the desired PKE functionality
(→section 8.9.3.1, “Introduction”, page 159).
•No PKE will be installed upstream of the DS7-SWD unit:
If the control specifics need to be comparable to those characterizing
terminal-based operation and the following functions are desired with
enable and start/stop:
•an error message,
•an alarm message,
•A TOR signal and/or a RUN signal
any one of profiles 4, 5, or 6 – based on the desired PKE
functionality – or profile 10, if there is no PKE installed upstream of
the DS7-SWD unit, can be chosen
(→section 8.2, “Profiles for DS7-SWD”, page 146 and →table 28,
page 160).
•Complete control is required:
If complete control with all options is desired or if the following functions
are needed:
•Closing lockout,
•External current limiting function
•Programmable response in the event of a loss of communications
•Feedback regarding the thermal load on the DS7-SWD
any one of profiles 7, 8, or 9 – based on the desired PKE
functionality – or profile 11, if there is no PKE installed upstream of
the DS7-SWD unit, can be chosen.
