Model VMX-Synergy Plus - Advanced Energy Saving, Powerful Control
With a unique combination of smart features, VMX-Synergy Plus™ sets new performance standards for soft starters. The incorporation of Motortronics’ unique iERS technology allows VMX-Synergy Plus™ to deliver unrivalled soft start performance alongside energy saving capability on partially loaded motors. VMX-Synergy Plus™ uses Motortronics’ globally renowned i45 smart application pre-program suite. This allows the user to program the unit to any common application in 4 simple steps using our intuitive touch screen technology. With built in full motor overload protection, the feature rich VMX-Synergy Plus™ will meet all key design criteria
i45 Smart Application Pre-program Suite
The automatic functionality has been expanded to include 45 preconfigured parameters settings to meet your application needs.
Ease of useIntuitive set-up and commissioning in under 60 seconds.
Fire modeExternal input signal overriding normal controls allowing the motor to continue running in emergency situations.
Jogging functionAllows motor to be slowly rotated into position for maintenance & process control.
MLink softwareFor easy commissioning, startup & diagnosis.
Lifetime event loggingComprehensive logging feature to easily identify energy savings, trends and fault conditions.
Flexible communicationsModbus-RTU, Anybus, USB and Ethernet.
Ready to remotely deliver accurate, real-time information about drive events that can be used for predictive maintenance, energy data management and resource optimisation.
Plug n PlayThe soft starter will ‘tune’ itself to the load.
Automatic resetAutomatically resets trips in predefined situations. Reduces the requirement to send a service technician to reset nuisance trips.
