The TG226 is designed for applications where supervision of machine overload is required:
The TG226 is usually used with dual-speed AC-Motors. Only one Max. limit is active for each speed and is selected by the digital input S2 (Speed Select). When speed changes (S2 toggled) a new Start Delay Ts is always activated. The TG226 is for instance used with two speed cranes to prohibit crane overload where each speed needs a different overload limit. Each speed may use a different measurement range CT[A].
Function
The drawing shows a typical AC-motor power curve. The start timer Ts filters out from the regulation the large power surge generated on start-up or motorspeed change; when Ts expires, limits, hysteresis, Tr etc. becomes active.
When power exceeds the Max. Limit1, Tr1 becomes active and when Tr1 expires a max. alarm is generated and relay 1 (C1, NC1) contact is switched open. If power drops back below the Max. Limit1 before an alarm is generated, Tr1 is cancelled. In this example, hysteresis is used to generate an auto reset once the power returns within the hysteresis band.
The drawing only shows the function for one speed (S2 = 0V) but Relay 2 implements the same function on limit 2, selected by applying +12-24V to the input S2.
