Features:
- The 230 V RUN circuit starts the programmed soft-start sequence.
- Ramp and initial-voltage controls define how the 3RW34 power section changes motor voltage.
- Status LEDs and an isolated user output separate local indication from external reporting.
A valid RUN input is evaluated before the selected start ramp is applied.
Stop behavior depends on the selected ramp and wiring arrangement rather than the command alone.
Fault and delay switches coordinate controller response with the connected starter circuit.

Separating a valid start command from the inactive state
- Command source: The external control circuit applies the 230 V AC RUN signal.
- ON threshold: Voltage and current must exceed the documented minimum values.
- OFF threshold: Residual voltage and current must stay below the documented limits.
- Isolation: The control input remains electrically separated from the user output circuit.
Coordinating voltage buildup and motor acceleration
- Initial voltage: The starting point is set before the ramp begins.
- Start time: The selected interval controls how long the voltage rise takes.
- Stop time: The stopping ramp governs the commanded voltage reduction.
- Motor response: Load torque and motor current are checked against the chosen settings.
Relating local indicators to external controller status
- LED 1: Ready, phase-loss and EEPROM conditions share the first indication path.
- LED 2: Full-voltage, start-stop and shorted-SCR states use the second path.
- User output: The isolated output transfers its assigned condition to external monitoring.
- Circuit limit: Make, break and continuous current ratings apply to the connected load.
Restoring the complete starter configuration after service
- Control voltage: The replacement section must match the 230 V AC control circuit.
- Wiring mode: Switch selection must agree with the actual 3RW34 connection.
- Fault behavior: The stored fault choice is compared with plant interlock requirements.
- Functional test: RUN, ramp, full-voltage and stop states are observed in sequence.
