Presentation of the TeSys U Starter-Controller

Overview
The TeSys U starter-controller is a Direct On Line starter for use with inductive loads (control of DC or
capacitive loads is not possible). The TeSys U starter-controller performs the following functions:
 Protection and control of single-phase or 3-phase motors:
 isolation and breaking function
 overload and short-circuit protection
 thermal overload protection
 power switching

 Control of the application:

 protection function alarms, application monitoring (running time, number of faults, motor current
values, etc.)
 logs (last 5 faults saved, together with motor parameter values)

These functions can be added by selecting control units and function modules which simply clip into the
power base. This customization is possible after power and control circuit wiring has been completed.
TeSys U is a flexible range that meets the current and future needs of system builders, panel builders and
machine manufacturers, as well as those of additional systems.
From design through to operation, TeSys U offers many advantages and simplifies the selection of
components in comparison with a traditional solution:
 The breaking, isolation and contactor functions are incorporated in a single block; this means fewer
references to be ordered and easy selection without any risk of error, because a single reference covers
all needs up to 18.5 kW (25 hp).
 The control unit has a wide setting range. It can operate on a DC or AC supply.

The number of references required is divided by 10, compared with traditional solutions.
The compact components in the TeSys U range are mounted on a single rail, in order to optimizing the
amount of space required in enclosures. By eliminating power wiring between the circuit-breaker and
contactor, TeSys U reduces installation times in enclosures.
Setting-up accessories simplify or completely eliminate wiring between components and decrease the risk
of errors.

TeSys U Starter-Controller
A TeSys U starter-controller consists of a power base and a control unit.

Control Unit
The control unit must be selected according to the control voltage, the power of the motor to be protected
and the type of protection required.
To obtain the comprehensive control unit reference number, the generic characters •• must be replaced by
the relevant reference code. Refer to the TeSys U starter-controllers catalogue.

TeSys U Internal Faults

Description
The TeSys U starter-controller detects and records faults that are internal to the device itself. Fault
detection occurs either during power-up or during run time.
Internal faults can be either major or minor. Both faults can change the state of output relays.
When an internal fault occurs, the Internal Fault parameter is set, a counter is incremented, and a fault
code is displayed on the LUCM HMI.

Major Internal Faults

During a major fault, the TeSys U starter-controller is unable to reliably execute its own programming.
During a major fault, communication with the TeSys U starter-controller is not possible. A power cycle is
necessary to reset the TeSys U after a major fault.
TeSys U must be replaced if the fault is persistent.
The table below lists the major faults detected according to the control unit, and when fault detection
occurs:

+ LULC•• LUCD
+ LULC••
Stack overflow fault – – √ – √
RAM fault – – √ √ –
ROM (flash) fault – – √ √ –
Hardware watchdog – – √ – √

Minor Internal Faults

Minor internal faults indicate that the data being provided to the TeSys U starter-controller is unreliable and
protection may be compromised.
During a minor fault condition, the TeSys U starter-controller continues to:
 attempt to monitor status and communications, but does not accept any start commands,
 detect and report major faults, but not additional minor faults.

A manual reset is necessary to reset the TeSys U after a minor fault.

The table below lists the minor faults detected according to the control unit, and when fault detection
occurs:

LUCM Internal Temperature

Description
The LUCM control unit monitors its internal temperature, and reports warning and minor fault conditions.
Fault detection cannot be disabled.
The LUCM control unit retains a record of the highest reached internal temperature.

Characteristics

Characteristic Value
Unit °C
Accuracy +/– 4 °C (+/– 7.2 °F)
Resolution 1 °C

Parameters
The LUCM Internal Temperature function includes the following fixed warning and fault thresholds:

Condition Fixed Threshold Value Sets Parameter

Internal temperature warning 80 °C (176 °F) LUCM Internal Temperature Warning
Internal temperature minor fault 90 °C (194 °F) LUCM Internal Fault

A warning condition ceases when LUCM Internal Temperature falls below 80 °C (176 °F).

Action After Fault Detection

If the LUCM internal temperature is too high:
 reduce the ambient temperature, or
 increase the distance between devices.

LUCM Internal Temperature Max

The LUCM Internal Temperature Max is the highest internal temperature, expressed in °C, detected by the
LUCM control unit internal temperature sensor.
The LUCM updates this value whenever it detects an internal temperature greater than the current value.
The maximum internal temperature value is not cleared when factory settings are restored using the Clear
All Command, or when statistics are reset using a Clear Statistics Command.

Wiring Faults

Description
The LUCM control unit checks external wiring connections and reports a fault when it detects incorrect or
conflicting external wiring. It detects 3 types of wiring errors:
 Phase Configuration Error
 A2 missing
 A1 overvoltage

Phase Configuration Error

The LUCM control unit checks all 3 motor phases and reports an error if it detects current in phase 2, if the
TeSys U is configured for single-phase operation.

A2 Missing
The LUCM control unit checks that the A2 terminal on the TeSys U power base is connected to 0 Vdc.

A1 Overvoltage
The LUCM control unit checks that the voltage on A1–A2 terminals on the TeSys U power base is in the
correct range.
If the voltage is greater than 34 Vdc, this fault is reported.

Communication Loss

Description
The TeSys U starter-controller monitors communication through:
 the network port on the LULC•• communication module
 the HMI port on the LUCM control unit

Network Port Communication Loss

The TeSys U starter-controller monitors network communication through the network port on the LULC••
communication module and reports a warning when network communication is lost:
 With the LULC031 or LULC033 Modbus communication module, the communication is lost for a time
period equal to, or longer than, an adjustable parameter, the Network port watchdog timeout (refer to
Configuration of the LULC•• Network Port, page 98).
 With other LULC•• communication modules, the communication loss detection is part of the protocol
management, without adjustable parameters.
When the network communication is lost, the TeSys U starter-controller switches to Fallback mode.

Network Port Communication Loss Fallback Strategy

The communication loss fallback strategy parameter is used to adjust the fallback mode in case of
communication loss with the PLC.
The different fallback modes are:
 Ignore communication loss
 Freeze outputs
 Force stop
 Raise a communication loss warning
 Force run forward
 Force run reverse

WARNING
AUTOMATIC RESTART OF THE MOTOR
If communication is stopped, outputs OA1–OA3 take the status corresponding to the selected fallback
mode, but the control bits Motor Run Forward Command and Motor Run Reverse Command are not
modified.
When a loss of communication warning is acknowledged though the communication network using the
Reset Comm Loss command, the motor automatically restarts if the control bits were not previously
overwritten to 0 by the PLC application.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The following table describes the different fallback modes:

HMI Port Communication Loss

The communication through the HMI port on the LUCM control unit is monitored. The communication is
lost if the communication is inactive for more than 10 seconds (fixed threshold).
When the communication is lost, the behavior of the TeSys U starter-controller is defined by the value set
for the HMI port watchdog action setting.

HMI Port Watchdog Description

Action Setting
Ignored No detection of HMI port communication loss.
(factory setting)
Warning The detection of HMI port communication loss reports a warning.
The warning disappears after the communication is restored.
Drop-out The detection of HMI port communication loss opens the contactor coil and reports a fault.
The fault can be reset by depressing the ENT key on the LUCM control unit or sending a reset command via the HMI
or network communication ports.
Trip The detection of HMI port communication loss trips the breaker and reports a fault.
The fault must be reset by a manual reset on the TeSys U power base.

Motor Protection Characteristics

Introduction
The TeSys U starter-controller monitors line current and ground current. The TeSys U starter-controller
uses parameters in protection functions to detect fault and warning conditions.
All motor protection functions include fault detection, and most protection functions also include warning
detection.

Operation
The following diagram describes the operation of a typical motor protection function:

I Measurement of the monitored parameter

Is1 Warning threshold setting
Is2 Fault threshold setting
T Fault timeout setting
Inst Instantaneous warning/fault detection

Settings
Some protection functions include configurable settings, including:
 Fault threshold: A limit setting for the monitored parameter that triggers a protection function fault.
 Warning threshold: A limit setting for the monitored parameter that triggers a protection function
warning.
 Fault timeout: A time delay that must expire before the protection function fault is triggered.

Some protection functions may be disabled by setting a specific value as the threshold.
Most protection settings can be modified only when the motor is stopped.

Hysteresis
To improve stability, motor protection functions apply a hysteresis value that is added to, or subtracted
from, limit threshold settings before a fault or warning response is reset.
The hysteresis value is calculated as a percentage, typically 1 %, of the limit threshold and is:
 subtracted from the threshold value for upper limit thresholds,
 added to the threshold value for lower limit thresholds.

The following diagram describes the logic result of measurement processing (Inst) when hysteresis is
applied to an upper limit threshold:

d Hysteresis percentage

 Motor Protection Functions

FLA (Full Load Amps) Settings

FLA Definitions
The Full Load Amps (FLA) represents the actual full-load current of the motor being protected by the
TeSys U starter-controller. The FLA is a motor characteristic and can be found on the motor plate.
Many protection parameters are set as a ratio of FLA.
The FLAmax is the maximum full-load current rating of the control unit. This value represents the highest
full-load current value that can be set on a given control unit.
The FLAmin is the minimum full-load current rating of the control unit. This value represents the lowest full-
load current value that can be set on a given control unit. It corresponds to 25 % of FLAmax.

Control Unit FLAmin (A) FLAmax (A) Power Base Rating (A)
LUC•X6•• 0.15 0.6 12, 32, and 38
LUC•1X•• 0.35 1.4 12, 32, and 38
LUC•05•• 1.25 5 12, 32, and 38
LUC•12•• 3 12 12, 32, and 38
LUC•18•• 4.5 18 32 and 38
LUC•32•• 8 32 32 and 38
LUC•38•• 9.5 38 38

FLA Setting
The FLA is set from FLAmin to FLAmax as a percentage of FLAmax, in 1 % increments.
The formula to obtain the FLA in % from the FLA in A is:
FLA (in %) = 100 x FLA (in A) / FLAmax (in A).
The result must be rounded to the nearest integer.

Example
Data:
 FLA (in A) = 0.43 A
 FLAmax = 1.4 A

Calculated parameter:
 FLA (in %) = FLA (in A) / FLAmax = 100 x 0.43 / 1.4 = 30.714 rounded to 31 %

1672613EN-02 01/2020 65
Motor Protection Functions

Thermal Overload

Description
The TeSys U starter-controller monitors the motor’s thermal capacity level and signals:
 a warning when the thermal capacity level exceeds a configured warning threshold
 a fault when the thermal capacity level continuously exceeds a fixed fault threshold

The thermal model used to calculate the thermal capacity level takes into account:
 the line currents
 the motor trip class
 the ventilation mode of the motor, with or without auxiliary fan

CAUTION
RISK OF MOTOR OVERHEATING
 The Motor Trip Class parameter must be set to the thermal heating characteristics of the motor. Refer
to the motor manufacturer’s instructions before setting this parameter.
 The Motor Aux Fan Cooled parameter must be set only if the motor is cooled by an auxiliary fan to
avoid incorrect calculation of the thermal capacity level.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

There is no time delay for the thermal overload warning.

The TeSys U starter-controller calculates the Thermal Capacity Level in all operating states. When power
to the TeSys U starter-controller is lost, the TeSys U starter-controller retains the last measurements of the
motor’s thermal state until power is re-applied.
Thermal overload fault detection cannot be disabled, only the warning detection can be enabled or
disabled.
 The TeSys U starter-controller clears a thermal overload warning when the thermal capacity level falls
2 % below the warning threshold.
 The TeSys U starter-controller stops reporting a thermal overload fault when the thermal capacity level
falls below 98 %. To clear the fault it must be acknowledged through a reset action (see page 93).

Operation
The thermal overload protection function is based on a thermal model of the motor.
Using measured current and the input motor trip class setting, the TeSys U starter-controller calculates the
thermal capacity level of the motor, as described below:

θ Thermal capacity level

θ s Tripping threshold
t Time

66 1672613EN-02 01/2020
 Motor Protection Functions

The Thermal Capacity Level parameter (which indicates thermal capacity level due to load current) is
incremented during both start and run states. When the TeSys U starter-controller detects that the thermal
capacity level (θ) exceeds the fault threshold (θs), it triggers a thermal overload fault, as described below:

Motor Trip Class

The trip class shows timeout (in seconds) prior to a thermal overload of 600 % FLA being triggered.
 The trip class is fixed and equal to class 10 for the LUCA, LUCB, and LUCC control units
 The trip class is fixed and equal to class 20 for the LUCD control units
 The trip class is adjustable for the LUCM control units

CAUTION
INCORRECT LUCM TRIP CLASS SETTING
The Trip Class setting must correspond to the thermal capacity of the motor.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Motor Aux Fan

For motors cooled by an auxiliary fan when stopped, the motor cooling period is divided by 4.

Function Characteristics
The thermal overload function includes the following features:
 3 settings according to motor:
 Motor Full Load Current Ratio

Long Start

Description
The long start function detects a locked or stalled rotor in start state and signals:
 a warning when current exceeds a separately set threshold
 a fault when current continuously exceeds a separately set threshold for a set period of time

motor. The TeSys U starter-controller detects a long start fault condition whenever the actual current
profile, occurring after a start command, varies from the expected profile.
The long start function signals a warning when a fault related to this problem occurs.
Fault and warning monitoring can be separately enabled and disabled.

Start Cycle
The configurable parameters for the Long Start protection function, Long Start Fault Threshold, and Long
Start Fault Timeout are used by the TeSys U starter-controller when defining and detecting the motor’s
start cycle (see page 86).

Operating States

Introduction
The TeSys U starter-controller responds to the state of the motor and provides control, monitoring, and
protection functions appropriate to each of the motor’s operating states. A motor can have many operating
states. Some operating states are persistent while others are transitional.
A motor’s primary operating states are:

Operating State Status Parameter Description

Ready System Ready = 1  The motor is stopped.
Motor starting = 0  The TeSys U starter-controller
Motor running = 0  detects no fault, and
 is ready to start.

Not Ready System Ready = 0  The motor is stopped.

Motor starting = 0  The TeSys U starter-controller detects a fault.
Motor running = 0
Start System Ready = 1  The motor starts.
Motor starting = 1  The TeSys U starter-controller
Motor running = 1  detects that current has reached 10 % FLA,
 detects that current has not both crossed and re-crossed the long start fault
threshold, and
 continues to count down the long start fault timer.

Run System Ready = 1  The motor is running.

Motor starting = 0  The TeSys U starter-controller detects that current has both crossed and re-crossed the
Motor running = 1 long start fault threshold before the TeSys U starter-controller fully counted down the
long start fault timer.

Operating State Chart

The operating states of the TeSys U starter-controller firmware, as the motor progresses from Off to Run
state, are described below. The TeSys U starter-controller verifies current in each operating state. The
TeSys U starter-controller can transition to an internal fault condition from any operating state.

Protection Monitoring by Operating States

The motor operating states, and the fault and warning protections provided by the TeSys U starter-
controller while the motor is in each operating state (denoted with an X), are described below. The TeSys U
starter-controller can transition to an internal fault condition from any operating state.

Start Cycle

Description
The start cycle is the time period allowed for the motor to reach its normal FLA level. The TeSys U starter-
controller measures the start cycle in seconds, beginning when it detects an average phase current equal
to 10 % of FLA.
During the start cycle, the TeSys U starter-controller compares:
 detected current against the configurable Long Start Fault Threshold parameter, and
 elapsed start cycle time against the configurable Long Start Fault Timeout parameter.
For information about the long start protection function, see Long Start, page 76.

2 Typical Start Cycles

The 2 typical start cycles are defined as follows:
 The start cycle ends when the current falls below the Long start fault threshold (start cycle 1).
 The start cycle ends when the long start timeout has elapsed (start cycle 2).

Start cycle 1:

Is Long start fault threshold

Start cycle 2:

Is Long start fault threshold

Start Cycle Interrupted by Long Start Fault

The start cycle is interrupted by a Long start fault when the current remains above the Long start fault
threshold at the end of the long start timeout.

Is Long start fault threshold

Recovery Mode

Definition
If you use the Run forward and Run reverse command bits to control outputs OA1–OA3, enabling the
recovery mode allows you to lock the motor and prevent it restarting following the occurrence of certain
events:
 Loss followed by restoration of 24 Vdc (outputs OA1–OA3).
 Change in position of rotary knob on power base followed by return to ON position.

When one of these events occurs, command bits Run forward and Run reverse (and outputs OA1–OA3)
are forced to 0 automatically. After these events have disappeared, control of the motor can be restored
by resetting the Run command before sending a new Run command.

WARNING
AUTOMATIC RESTART OF THE MOTOR
Cyclic writing to command bits (for example, an LUFP• gateway in its predefined configuration) must be
used with caution.
If the recovery mode is disabled, the application program must request that the command bits Run
forward and Run reverse are written to 0.
Otherwise, the motor will restart automatically when the 24 Vdc is restored or when the rotary knob is
turned to ON position.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Reflex Stop Functions

Introduction
The reflex stop functions provide accurate repeated position control, unhindered by the bus and PLC scan
times.
There are 2 types of reflex stop function:
 Reflex1: Reflex stop 1 function, with 1 sensor connected to LI1, logic input of the LULC•• communication
module
 Reflex2: Reflex stop 2 function, with 2 sensors connected to LI1 and LI2, logic inputs of the LULC••
communication module

Logic Output Assignment

To use the reflex stop functions, the logic outputs OA1 or OA1 and OA3, which control the motor, must first
be assigned.
The assignment values for the reflex stop 1 function are:
 Reflex stop 1: forward
 Reflex stop 1: reverse

The assignment values for the reflex stop 2 function are:

 Reflex stop 2: forward
 Reflex stop 2: reverse

Description of Reflex Stop 1

The sensor no. 1, connected to the logic input LI1, directly controls motor stopping.
The detection of a rising edge on LI1 opens the outputs assigned to the Reflex stop 1, and thus stops the
motor.
After a new run command (stop command then run command), the motor restarts in the chosen direction
(run forward or run reverse) even if something is still detected (LI1 = 1).
NOTE: In the case of a reversing starter, the reflex stop 1 function works in both directions.

Description of Reflex Stop 2

The sensor no. 1 is connected to the logic input LI1. The detection of a rising edge on LI1 opens the output
assigned to Reflex stop 2: forward.
The sensor no. 2 is connected to the logic input LI2. The detection of a rising edge on LI2 opens the output
assigned to Reflex stop 2: reverse.
After a new run command (stop command then run command), the motor restarts in the chosen direction
(run forward or run reverse) even if something is still detected (LI1 or LI2 = 1).
NOTE: Sensor no. 2 (LI2) does not affect forward mode and sensor no. 1 (LI1) does not affect reverse
mode.

Warning Management

Overview
A warning condition detected by the TeSys U starter-controller indicates corrective action that may be
required to prevent a problem condition from occurring. If left unresolved, a warning may lead to a fault
condition.
A warning is not latched and does not need to be acknowledged by a reset command, except the Network
port communication loss warning.

TeSys U Response to a Warning

The response of the TeSys U starter-controller to a warning include the following:
 A warning status bit is set in a warning parameter.
 A text message is displayed on the LUCM HMI.
 A warning status indicator is displayed in the configuration software.

Network Port Communication Loss Warning

After detection of the Network port communication loss, the TeSys U starter-controller switches to Fallback
mode.
According to the fallback mode selected (see Network Port Communication Loss Fallback Strategy,
page 55):
 The Network port communication loss warning must be acknowledged by dedicated reset command.
 The motor stops.
 The fault LED flashes red 2 times per second on the LULC•• communication module.

Warning List
The following table lists all warnings detected by the TeSys U starter-controllers, with:
 the code, an identifier used in the communication registers, and
 the warning name.

Detected Fault Management

Overview
When the TeSys U starter-controller detects a fault condition and activates the appropriate response, the
fault becomes latched. It remains latched, even if the underlying fault condition is eliminated, until
acknowledged by a reset command.

TeSys U Response to a Detected Fault

Responses of the TeSys U starter-controller after detection of a fault include the following:
 The motor stops by either Trip or Drop-out:
 Trip: the breaker trips
 Drop-out: the contactor opens

 The fault LED is On on the LULC•• communication module.

 A fault status bit is set in a fault parameter.
 A text message is displayed on LUCM HMI.
 A fault status indicator is displayed in the configuration software, if connected.

Reset Modes
The user can select the fault reset mode from 3 modes:
 manual (by default)

 automatic

NOTE:
The Automatic and Remote fault reset modes are available only on a TeSys U starter-controller:
 with an LUCB, LUCC, or LUCD control unit in association with an LUFDA•• module, or
 with an LUCB, LUCC, LUCD or LUCM control unit in association with an LULC•• communication
module.

Reset Actions
According to the fault reset mode selected and the type of detected fault, the reset action to acknowledge
a detected fault can be one of the following:
 A manual action: reset by manual action on the power base handle
 A remote action: reset by
 Reset command through the communication network
 Action on the ENT key on the LUCM control unit
 Power cycle of the TeSys U starter-controller

 An automatic action: automatic reset after a timeout set by the Thermal Overload Fault Reset Timeout
parameter

Detected Fault List

The following tables list all faults detected by the TeSys U starter-controllers, with
 the fault code, an identifier used in
 the communication registers
 the history registers (except for internal faults or Shunt Trip fault)

 the fault name

And, according to the Fault reset mode selected (M=Manual, R=Remote, or A=Automatic):
 the TeSys U response after detection of the fault, and
 the reset action to be performed by the user to acknowledge the fault.

 Clear all parameters
 Clear the statistics

The Clear commands can be delivered from:

 a PC running SoMove with the TeSys U DTM
 the LUCM control unit
 a PLC via the network port

Clear All Command

If you want to change the configuration of the TeSys U starter-controller, you may want to clear all existing
parameters in order to return to factory settings before setting new parameters for TeSys U.
The Clear All Command forces TeSys U to enter configuration mode. A power cycle is performed to restart
correctly in this mode. This enables TeSys U to pick up the new values for the cleared parameters.
NOTE: When you clear all parameters, static characteristics are also lost. Only the LUCM internal
temperature max parameter is not cleared after a clear all command.

Clear Statistics Command

Statistics parameters are cleared without the TeSys U starter-controller being forced into configuration
mode. Static characteristics and settings are preserved.
The LUCM internal temperature max parameter is the only statistics parameter that is not cleared after a
clear statistics command.

Communication Functions

Configuration of the LULC•• Network Port

Introduction
The LULC•• network port configuration depends on the communication module and protocol.
Depending on the communication module, the configuration parameters can be set using:
 hardware switches on the communication module, and/or
 the TeSys U DTM or communication or the LUCM HMI.

LULC031 and LULC033 Configuration

Configuration of the LULC031 and LULC033 Modbus communication module:
 1 hardware setting (Address)
 1 software setting (Timeout duration)

Parameter Setting Range Default Value

Address 1...31 1
Timeout duration  0 to disable the timeout, or 60 s
 0.01…655.35 s in 0.01 s increments

LULC07 Configuration
Configuration of the LULC07 Profibus DP communication module:
 1 hardware setting (Address)

Parameter Setting Range Default Value

Address 1...125 1

LULC08 Configuration
Configuration of the LULC08 CANopen communication module:
 2 hardware settings (Address + Transmission speed)

Parameter Setting Range Default Value

Address 1...127 1
Transmission speed  10 kBaud 250 kBaud
 20 kBaud
 50 kBaud
 125 kBaud
 250 kBaud
 500 kBaud
 800 kBaud
 1000 kBaud

LULC09 Configuration
Configuration of the LULC09 DeviceNet communication module:
 2 hardware settings (Address + Transmission speed)

Parameter Setting Range Default Value

Address 1...63 63
Transmission speed  125 kBaud 125 kBaud
 250 kBaud
 500 kBaud
 Autobaud

LULC15 Configuration
Configuration of the LULC15 Advantys STB communication module:
 no parameters required thanks to auto-addressing and autobaud functions.

Network Port Fallback Setting

Network port fallback setting is used to adjust the fallback mode in case of a loss of communication with
the PLC. This setting must be configured whatever the protocol. Refer to Network Port Communication
Loss Fallback Strategy (see page 55).

Configuration of the Tesys U LUCM HMI Port

HMI Port
The HMI port on the LUCM control unit is a Modbus slave RS 485 communication port.

WARNING
MISUSE OF COMMUNICATION PORT
Communication ports should only be used for non-critical data transfer.
Contactor and current level monitoring data can be delayed by transmission timelag and must not be
used for critical command decisions.
The Off or Pause functions must not be used for emergency stops or for critical command applications.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Communication Parameters
Use the TeSys U DTM or the LUCM HMI to modify the following HMI port communication parameters:
 HMI port address setting
 HMI port baud rate setting
 HMI port parity setting
 HMI port write permission setting
 HMI port watchdog action setting

HMI Port Address Setting

The HMI port address can be set between 1 (default) and 247.
NOTE: Address 127 is reserved for a point-to-point connection. It must not be used for a network with more
than one multifunction control unit. Address 127 is reserved for a point-to-point connection with
configuration software such as SoMove with the TeSys U DTM. Communication is possible in this way
without knowing the address of the multifunction control unit. All multifunction control units respond to
address 127.

HMI Port Baud Rate Setting

Possible transmission rates are:
 1200 Baud
 4800 Baud
 9600 Baud
 19,200 Baud (default)

HMI Port Parity Setting

The parity can be selected from:
 Even (default)
 None

Parity and bit behavior are linked:

If the parity is... Then the total number of bits is...

Even 11 bits (1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit, and 1 stop bit)
None 10 bits (1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit)

HMI Port Write Permission Setting

The write permission parameter is used to enable the write command of internal configuration registers.
The function is disabled by default. If the function is disabled, read commands remain valid for all the
registers.

HMI Port Watchdog Action Setting

When the communication through the HMI port on the LUCM control unit is lost, the behavior of the
TeSys U starter-controller is defined by the value set for the HMI port watchdog action setting.
For more information, refer to HMI port communication loss (see page 56).
