1 Generalization
JJR8000 AC motor soft starter (one full digital intelligent device) is a new soft
starting equipment with adopting electric and electronic technology,
microprocessor technology, and other modern advanced control theory
technology. This product could effectively limit its starting voltage while starting
asynchronous motor, which has been widely applied to fan, pump, transmission,
and compressor and so on. It is one perfect substitute for those equipments by
reducing voltage to soft start motors such as Y/∆ (star/delta) switch, reduction
voltage of auto-transformer, reduction voltage of magnetic control and so on.

1.1 Brief Introduction

JJR8000 soft starter owns the following characteristics.

1. Three start modes: Voltage ramp start mode can get maximum output torque;
Constant current soft start mode can limit start current mostly. Direct soft
start mode can start the soft starter directly.
2. Programmable delay start mode, programmable interlocked control.
3. No requirement for phase sequence of input power.
4. Available digital modification for start & stop time.
5. Multiple protection functions: overcurrent, imbalance of three-phase current,
overheat, phase failure, motor overload etc.
6. Function of dynamic fault record will help find out the reason of fault.
7. Check the maximum start current and maximum operation current on line.
8. Full dynamic control monitoring start of the site bus makes it easy to connect
the grid.
9. Display function: LCD screen can display parameters of all kinds of working
status, indicative instruction for programming and fault status.
Typical application
Pump—Make use of its soft stopping function to alleviate the water hammer
phenomenon while stopping, which will save the cost of system maintenance.
Ball mill—Make use of its voltage ramp start to reduce the torque abrasion
among the gears, which will not only reduce the maintenance work, but also save
time and cost.
Fan–Reduce the belt abrasion and mechanical impact, which will save its
maintenance cost.
Compressor—Make use of limiting current function to realize smooth starting,
then reduce motor heating and prolong its service life.
5
Belt conveyor—Prevent from product moving and liquid overflowing; meanwhile;
realize the process of starting smoothly.

Technical characteristics:
1. Main loop circuit working voltage: AC380V/690V/1140 V (+10%~25%);
2. Main loop circuit working current: 13A~1500A;
3. Main loop circuit frequency：50Hz/60Hz(±2%);
4. Control loop circuit power supply:AC/DC 220V ±15%(0.5A);
5. Soft starter rising time: 0~120S;
6. Soft Stop time: 0~100S;
7. Impact time: 0.1~0.3S;
8. Impact voltage: 50%~100%;
9. Limiting current times : 1.5~5.0le;
10. Initial voltage: 25%~80%Ue;
11. Cooling mode: natural cooling;
12. Communication mode: RS485 series communication(Modbus-RTU/Profibus
optional);
13. Start times should be less than 12 times within one hour.

1.2 Working principle

JJR8000 control core is DSP. This microprocessor control system can start and
protect motor. DSP microprocessor can control phase angle triggering of SCR so
as to reduce placed voltage on the motor. The torque of the motor will be
increased smoothly through controlling the voltage and current added on the
motor till accelerating to the full speed operation of the motor. This start mode
can alleviate the start impact current of the motor and then reduce the impact to
the grid and motor. At the same time, it will also reduce mechanical impact on the
mechanical load device connected to the motor so as to prolong the service life of
motor and reduce fault and correspondent stop.
JJR8000 has three start modes: voltage mode, limiting current mode, direct start
mode.
Voltage mode

6
The initial torque can be confirmed (when the frequency is stated, the torque of
motor has direct proportion with the square of added voltage).
Setting range: 25%~80%.We have to put impact current and mechanical impact
into consideration while adjusting its range.
If the setting is too high, It would cause very high initial current impact and
mechanical impact.
Under the voltage mode the current will change in accordance with load change.
When the maximum limiting current is 5 times to the rated current, it could
reduce the start current by adding start time. Because of fast establishment of
motor potential energy, the start process would also be achieved even if it does not
reach the setting rising time when the motor is light loading or free.

Limiting current start

Confirm the allowed maximum current during the starting of motor.
Setting range: 150%~500%FLA（motor rated current）. Please consult the
manufacturer for the extended range. The motor would take a comparative
higher current from the main circuit and boost its acceleration if the setting is
higher. The full speed of the motor could not be reached after the completion of
acceleration if the setting range is much lower. The setting ‘stall’ will be the best
choice. In order to make start current reach the limiting value fast, start time
should be set properly.

1.3 Protections for motor and related system

JJR8000 series soft starter provides multiple protection functions to the soft
starter and motor. The main functions are as the following:
1. Phase failure protection for three-phase output. It could only be started when
the main circuit is connected with three-phase input power supply and a load.
2. Over temperature means the SCR group components temperature is too high
(above 80℃) due to frequent starts of the soft starter.
3. Longer start time protection. Longer start time is bad for the soft starter and
the motor. So the longest start time while ex-factory is limited at 30S. This
parameter could be set from 10S to 500S according to its actual load.
4. Big current protection belongs to timing limitation. When the current exceeds
the rated current by 5-8 times (settable), please cut off the output within
20ms-200ms (settable).
5. Overload protection for inverse timing limitation. 4 level curves and stall
protection.
6. Light load alarm, trip protection. Frequency fault.
7. Optional start limitation protection. It would be available for restarting only
when the motor cools down to some extent.

3 Descriptions

3.1 Brief Introduction

JJR8000 soft starter is designed on base of the latest microprocessor

technology, which is applied to realize soft start & stop for squirrel motors.
Also it contains many latest motor protection functions.
After completing the start, it will supply current for load through connecting
bypass contactor. But the control units still monitor the motor operation in
order to realize the aim of protection and soft stop.
Keypad area offers convenient operation for the users with clear text display
(Chinese/English is optional).

Three modes to control the motor

●Terminal input control (External)

●Keypad control (Local)
●Site bus control

Each time only one control mode can be selected.

Presetting option is terminal input control.
Keypad control is a prior option compared to other control modes.

3.3 Control Terminal

1. M0 control terminal instruction

● Bypass relay K1 terminal (J1, J2)
When completing the start process, K1 built-in contacts will close and then make
the bypass contactor KM close; the K1 built-in contacts will open when delivering
the stop command. (See graphic3.1)
Proposal: it can parallel a RC circuit at dual ends of the contactor, which will do
good to absorb the peak voltage caused by breaking off the contactor coil so as to
reduce the disturbance to the control circuit.
Programmable outputs relay K2, terminals J3, J4 and J5; K3; terminals J6, J7
and J8.
The programmable output relay will send out the signal according to the selected
function. These built-in contacts could be programmable to export events
(including equipment faults and motor faults), time delay and operation etc. See
chapter 4 for the detailed application. The contact capacity is AC 250V 5A. For
use, we should connect the wire to corresponding terminals.

● Working power supply P1，P2

Connect the L (phase wire) to terminal P2, N (neutral wire) to terminal P1. It also
can acquire the function through lowing down voltage of the main circuit (380v)
via the isolation transformer. (See graphic 3.2)
● Grounding terminal P3
The cable will be grounded to adjacent earth stud of the soft starter. The cable

18
should be shorter as possible as we can. Reasonable grounding point should be
connected on the installation board of the soft starter which also should be
grounded. (See graphic 3.2)

● Start and Stop. Terminals P4 and P5 (COM), P6 (RUN), P7 (STOP), these four
terminals are used for external buttons to open and stop starter. It must be
selected by programming while using.
Graphic 3.3 offers three wiring methods for the common use of external button.

The dual-wire connection method should be adopted in the following cases. (See
3.4)
(1) When customers need a switch point to control the starter to start and stop, eg
one control point J of PC/PLC.
(2) When using delay function of the soft starter, the starter will begin to start
after one delay time value since the J closes. This delay time value can be
programmable.

19
●Programmable input, terminals P8 and P9
JJR8000 soft starter possesses two programmable inputs.
In0: preset fault/overload reset.
In1: preset fault/overload reset.
See chapter 4 - 4.3.3 (5) to make program.
●Temp input, terminal P10
The thermal sensor PTC integrated in the motor will be connected to the terminal
through P10-COM, See 3.5. The total resistance of the sensor circuit is 2800Ω for
breaking and 1200Ω for connecting. It should be triggered with the program in
the motor protection. See the protection of the reference 4.3.3(2) for the detailed
setting methods.
.Analog current signal output, terminal P11 and P12
The 4~20mA (or 0~20mA) current signal is used to reflect the main circuit current.
The output mode can be selected by the program.（see chapter 4 4.3.3 (9) ）.See
reference 3.5.

● Setting current
It is used to confirm start current of the soft starter; the detailed setting is the
rated current value of the motor. (Please see the motor nameplate).
Setting range: 1~1500A
● Start mode
It is used to set the choosing mode when the starter begins to start.
Optional mode: voltage, limit current, direct start.
● Voltage acceleration time
It is used to set the time from the start signal to the end of the acceleration time for
the soft starter. The soft starter will trip to cut off the power supply of the motor if
the voltage still could not reach the full voltage after this period. LCD will display
the information of ‘prolong start time’.
Setting range: 1~120s

31
  
●Voltage deceleration time
It is used to control stop under the high friction load and confirm the time for
reducing voltage to zero. If the voltage deceleration time is 0, once the stop order
is delivered the starter will directly cut off the voltage, which equals to motor free
stop.
Setting range: 0~100s

 
● Initial voltage
It is used to set the initial voltage level during its starting process of the soft starter.
If the initial voltage setting is too lower, it will cause overlong start time and
unnecessary motor heat.
Setting range: 25%~80%

 
● Initial time
It is used to set initial time level during its starting process of the soft start. The
voltage will not change during the setting time. Even if it has reached its initial

32
time, the soft starter will still continue to start based on the rising mode until the
start is wholly completed.
Setting range: 1~120s.
● Limit current times
It is used to limit the start current. When the current reaches the limiting value,
the output voltage will keep stable. Until the current is reduced to the level below
the limiting value the voltage rising process will continue. The start current must
be big enough to make the motor reach the rated speed. The allowed minimum
start current is decided by characteristics of the motor and related load.
Setting range: 1.5x~5.0x

● Impact start
It is used to start the high friction load, which needs a bigger start torque within
short time.
Setting range: Allow, Prohibit

 
● Impact time
It is used to set the requested impact time value.
Setting range: 0.1~0.3s
● Delay start
It is used to set delay start.

33
Setting range: Allow, Prohibit
● Delay time
It is used to set the delay start time value.
Setting range: 0~300s 
● Step-down voltage
When the motor stops soft, the rotor speed will not decelerate immediately. The
level fall voltage function can make the speed of the motor decelerate from the
beginning of the soft stop process. It can get an optimized stop through this
function. It is mainly applied to pump load.
Setting range: 25%~80%

● Motor overload protection
It is used to protect the motor during the start process of the soft starter, which
can prevent from damaging the motor by allowing big running current. This
function has three kinds of modes to be selected.
Selective modes:
Normal: not activate this function
Common: standard protection mode
Dual: this protection has two overload types, one is used for start, and the other is
used during operation.

Disposal method
When the protection is activated, this parameter is used for selecting the three
different operational modes owned by the soft starter. Only the corresponding
protection is selected, then this function will be activated.
Disposal method:
Manual reset: motor stops; we need to reset before restarting motor.
Automatic reset: motor stops; once faults disappear, it will automatically reset.
Only for indication: motor continues to run when it only send fault indication.
● Motor temperature protection

5.3 Reading & writing control protocol and related example

5.3.1 Profibus part

Profibus is one express bus with the maximum communication baud 12M. It can
be selected to confirm the value through the upper computer.
Profibus communication protocol is divided into data communication form rule
and application rule. The Profibus communication protocol form is defined by the
GSD file. The application part is open, which is defined by the manufacturer.
1) Communication rule part
Profibus bus controls the JJR8000 through a group of data to complete. It is
totally divided into two data areas namely parameter identification area PKW
and process control PZD, each occupying 2 bytes input/output. The former is used
to read out and modify the function parameter of the soft starter; meanwhile; the
latter is used to control and monitor status current. The master configuration is
given by GSD file.(see graphic 5.1)

 
IND: high byte INDH means task requirement, low byte INDL is parameter

56
address (see attached table1); used for type 1.
PWE: writing & reading the parameter, see table 5.12; used for type 1.
STW: control word, see table 5.9; used for type 1 and type 3.
ZSW: status word, see table 5.10; used for type 1 and type 3.
ACT: current value (A phase)
Type 1---- It could carry out all operation to the parameter and control monitor of
the soft starter. Check various relative data and control start/stop.Work is in the
PKW and PZD areas.
Type 3----It only carries out the work status monitor. A phase current monitors
and controls of start/stop. Work is in PZD area.
2) Profibus writing & reading protocol
This protocol is given through the table 5.2 and 5.3, which are defined by the
manufacturer.
Table 5.2 the master sends out the task requirements to the slave.
INDH Definition
0 No task
1 Read out one parameter, address is
INDL, see attached table 7
2 Modify one parameter, address is
INDL, write the data into PWE, see
attached table 7
3 Read out status parameter, address is
INDL, see attached table6

Table 5.3 the response returned from the master

INDH Definition

0 Parameter can’t be available
1 Value of parameter can not be modified

57
 2 Value exceeds the upper and lower
limit.
3 Can’t modify under live running
4 Don’t support this service
3) Application instance
Use the bus to make the soft starter start.
MASTER: PC or the upper computer master; SLAVE: slave represents that the
address of the soft start is 02.
The PZD control under Profibus: order word is written into the STW of PZD.
MASTER---SLAVE 00 0B 00 00
SLAVE ---MASTER
Normal return 09 00 03 C0 indication for start status, current is 96A.
Fault return 81 01 05 64 indication for phase lost, start current value
is 138A.
Note: return to ZSW+ACT
The following is the operation of type 1 to PKE.
e.g. 1: read out the voltage rising time
To check out an address operation code from table 1, read out INDH=01H
To check out the voltage rising time address from table 7 is 03, so INDL=03H
MASTER---SLAVE 01 03 00 00 Because it is only reading the parameter,
the last four “0” has no meaning.
SLAVE ----MASTER 01 03 00 0c Learning from table 2 PWE=0c, the
voltage rising time is 12s
e.g. 2: modify the limit current to 350%, Hex is 15E.
MASTER----SLAVE 02 07 01 5E
Normal return: SLAVE—MASTER 01 07 01 5E
If return: SLAVE ---MASTER 03 07 00 03
It indicates that this parameter can NOT be modified in running process of the
equipment.
e.g. 3 read out the online B phase current.
See table 5.12 B phase current belongs to the status parameter. The operation

58
code is 03 and its address is 03.
So : MASTER---SLAVE 03 03 00 00
SLAVE----MASTER 01 03 02 64 1b =61.2A decimal system.

5.3.2 Modbus communication rule

Modbus possesses PLC structure characteristics. We could write & read JJR8000
soft starter like one PLC. JJR8000 soft starter reflects start/stop control, status
information(current, fault etc.), function parameters into register(4XXX). The
usage of writing & reading control is realized through the PLC master station.

6.1 Overview

When the soft starter or program meets any problem, this section could be used
as a guide to help shoot the fault.
Soft starter adopts LED to indicate fault and fault type will be displayed on the
LCD monitor. When the protection function is activated, LED will show the
working of this function and LCD will instruct protection type.
