A-B 440F-M1020BYNN l/O interface module

Product Detailed Description

A-B EOLRs, such as the E100 and E300 series, offer advanced features for comprehensive motor protection:

• Current Sensing and Thermal Modeling: EOLRs continuously measure the true RMS current (AC/DC) drawn by the motor. They use an internal thermal model to simulate the heating and cooling characteristics of the motor windings. This allows them to accurately determine the motor's thermal utilization and trip when the motor is in danger of overheating.

• Phase Loss and Imbalance Detection: These relays can detect the loss of a phase or significant current imbalance between phases, both of which can cause severe motor overheating and damage.

• Ground Fault Detection: Many A-B EOLRs (especially advanced models like the E300) incorporate ground fault detection, providing protection against arcing faults that may not be detected by standard overcurrent protection.

• Selectable Trip Classes: EOLRs offer adjustable trip classes (e.g., Class 10, 15, 20, 30), allowing users to match the protection curve to the specific starting characteristics and application of the motor.

• Reset Modes: Users can typically select between manual reset and automatic reset, providing flexibility for different operational requirements.

• Communication and Diagnostics: Advanced models (like the E300) offer communication options such as EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet, providing detailed diagnostic information (e.g., thermal utilization percentage, time to trip) and allowing for seamless integration into Rockwell Automation's Logix control systems.

• Wide Adjustment Range: A-B EOLRs often feature a wide current adjustment range (e.g., a 5:1 ratio), reducing the number of catalog numbers required to cover a broad range of motor sizes compared to bimetallic alternatives.

• Self-Powered Design: Many EOLRs, including the E100, are self-powered, meaning they do not require a separate auxiliary control power source, which simplifies wiring and reduces heat dissipation within the control cabinet.

• Integration with Contactors: They are designed for direct mounting to Allen-Bradley contactors (e.g., 100-C and 100-E series), creating a compact and integrated motor starter solution.

Product Parameters

(Note: Parameters vary significantly between E100, E300, and other specific models. The following provides general ranges and typical specifications.)

• Rated Operating Voltage (Ue): Typically up to 690 V AC or 1000 V AC, depending on the model.

• Rated Current Range: Wide range, from fractional amps up to hundreds of amps, often with a 5:1 adjustable ratio.

• Trip Classes: Selectable (e.g., 10, 15, 20, 30).

• Reset Modes: Manual or Automatic.

• Auxiliary Contacts: Typically 1 NO (Normally Open) and 1 NC (Normally Closed) contact for signaling and control circuits.

• Communication Protocols (Advanced models): EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU (model dependent).

• Operating Temperature: Typically -20°C to +70°C, with some models offering broader ranges.

• Mounting: Direct contactor mounting or separate DIN rail/panel mounting.

• Certifications: UL 508, CSA, CE, and others (specific to the model).

• Ground Fault Protection: Available on advanced models (e.g., E300).

• Jam Protection (Overcurrent): Available on advanced models (e.g., E300), offering adjustable settings for detecting mechanical jams.

Product Advantages

• Superior Accuracy and Repeatability: Electronic overload relays offer much higher accuracy in monitoring motor current and thermal conditions compared to traditional bimetallic relays.

• Enhanced Motor Protection: Provides comprehensive protection against various fault conditions, including thermal overload, phase loss, phase imbalance, and ground faults (on select models).

• Reduced Downtime: Accurate and fast protection minimizes the risk of motor damage, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.

• Energy Efficiency and Lower Heat Dissipation: Self-powered designs and electronic components result in lower energy consumption and less heat generation within control cabinets compared to traditional thermal relays.

• Simplified Inventory and Logistics: The wide current adjustment range means fewer part numbers are needed to cover a range of motor sizes.

• Advanced Diagnostics and Integration: Models with communication capabilities provide real-time status and detailed diagnostic information, simplifying troubleshooting and integration into automation systems.

• Flexibility: Adjustable trip classes and reset modes allow the relay to be tailored to specific application requirements.

Precautions

• Correct Selection: Ensure the selected EOLR matches the motor's Full Load Amps (FLA) and the required trip class for the application.

• Proper Installation: Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Ensure proper wiring, especially for current transformers (if used) and auxiliary contacts.

• Grounding: Proper grounding is essential for safe operation and accurate ground fault detection (if applicable).

• Setting Parameters: Accurately set the current range, trip class, and other parameters based on the motor data plate. Incorrect settings can lead to inadequate protection or nuisance tripping.

• Auxiliary Control Voltage: While many EOLRs are self-powered for the main relay function, ensure the correct voltage is supplied to the auxiliary contacts if they are used in control circuits.

• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.

• Commissioning and Testing: Perform a thorough test of the relay after installation and before commissioning the motor to ensure all protection features are working correctly.
