The Allen-Bradley 150-F317NCD is an SMC Flex Smart Motor Controller. This motor controller is one step inside of a large-motor-controller group because it delivers 250 Horsepower at 460 Volts AC and 317 Amperes. This is the area where energy savings and productivity must be provided. The 150-F317NCD answers to that challenge with perfect motor starting over its solid-state controlled mechanisms. The controller is supplied with 200 to 575 Volts AC, 3-phase, 50 and 60 Hertz voltage. A separate supply should be provided for the control coil of 100 to 240 Volts AC. The Allen-Bradley 150-F317NCD smart motor controller is flexible and provides many motor start modes to choose from. This module has soft stop, full voltage start, current limit (limiting maximum starting current) start, dual ramp start, preset slow speed, and linear speed modes. Automated industry usually applies the soft start method. With this method, the user will set initial torque (adjustable in 0 to 90% range of fixed rotor torque) and the controller would perform gradually increasing of speed during the acceleration ramp time (parameterized within 0 to 30 seconds span). The user can also activate Kickstart option during soft start. The Allen-Bradley 150-F317NCD SMC Flex is equipped with an integral LCD display and programmable keyboard. It can be used for fast commissioning, programming, and troubleshooting of the device. The 150-F317NCD SMC Flex smart motor controller is delivered with an open IP00 rated enclosure. It is shipped with the dimensions of 276.50 x 600.00 x 289.97 millimeters (10.88 x 23.62 x 11.42 inches). The item’s weight is approximated at 45.8 kilograms (101 pounds). It can be used in surroundings where the temperature fluctuates between -5 and 50 degrees Celsius.
