Better Fault Management Of Network-Enabled Motor Protection Systems

The new Allen-Bradley 193-E3 Plus DeviceNet-capable motor protection relay from Rockwell Automation has DeviceLogix built in, allowing seamless transition to local control in the event of network failure. Device addressing is accomplished manually via rotary DIP switches, while an 'Unconnected Message Manager' enables the relay to maintain simultaneous conversations with other devices on the DeviceNet network. E3 range motor protection relays provide thermal overload, phase loss, stall, jam, under-load, thermistor and current imbalance protection, and have integral earth fault sensing as standard. The 193-E3 Plus can also be programmed with a second load current setting, allowing better fault management in two-speed applications. The fault conditions are fully programmable and include pre-trip warnings to give the operator a chance to check out a possible fault before the motor goes off-line.
