Providing Unmatched Intelligent Motor Control
SMC-Flex and SMC-3
Manufacturers need to get their products to market faster, more efficiently, and with a higher degree of consistency. The Allen-Bradley SMC soft starters are designed to provide integrated features andfunctionality to help you conserve power and minimize manufacturing risks – while reaping the most productivity from your plant floor. The flexibility and capabilities of the SMC-Flex and SMC-3 make them ideal for virtually any application. They can minimize mechanical wear resulting from full-voltage starting of AC induction motors, enabling longer system life as well as limit line disturbances frominrush currents, resulting in reduced downtime. The SMC intelligent motor control devices combine data-driven, networked motor control and industry leading protection for improved motor and system performance. With the available options, functionality, and application capabilities, they are unmatched in the industry.

SMC-Flex – Modular and Compact Soft Starter
The SMC-Flex reduces product sizeand is a cost-effective package for your production applications. As standard, the SMC-Flex includes I/O, electronic overload, integral bypass, advanced communication capabilities, motor starting capabilities for both star-delta and standard squirrel-cage induction motors, advanced protection, and diagnostics. The SMC-Flex is also available for medium voltage applications with the same featuresand benefits for controlling motors rated up to 7.2 kV and 7500 Hp (5600 kW).

SMC-3 – A Smart and Compact Soft Starter
The SMC-3 provides increased intelligence in a compact footprint. Downtime is decreased due to basic protection of motor winding equipment and materials. As standard, this true three-phase controlling device includes electronic overload protection with adjustable trip class,integral bypass, increased motor and system diagnostics, motor starting capabilities for both star-delta and standard squirrel-cage induction motors, configurable auxiliary contacts, and multiple START and STOP modes.

At Rockwell Automation, helping your business succeed and grow is what we do best – with power, control, and information systems and services designed to give you a competitiveadvantage in today’s marketplace.

Why Use Smart Motor Controllers (SMCs)?
SMCs provide many features to benefit your system:
• Enable longer system life by minimizing mechanical damage resulting from full-voltage starting of AC induction motors • Limit line disturbances from inrush currents, resulting in reduced downtime • Multiple START/STOP modes increase functionality • Diagnosticmonitoring helps prevent problems before they occur • Satisfy electrical distribution restrictions by reducing inrush currents

SMCs are ideal for applications where:
• Belts, gears, and chains can be damaged by across-the-line starting • Materials can be damaged by sudden starts and stops • A step change in torque can damage equipment • Power company line current restrictions are imposed •Space is a premium and enclosure size must be minimized • Solid-state starting is needed for a star-delta motor application

With SMC Soft starters you benefit from:
• Advanced diagnostics, increasing system performance • Compact, space-saving footprint • Greater product functionality for increased system flexibility • Decreased downtime due to advanced protection of motor winding,equipment, and materials • Greater system operation accuracy due to improved technology • Ease of purchasing, installation, setup and maintenance

“ Installation and commission time were greatly reduced with the ability to put the soft starter on the network. It is a very simple setup that works very well.”
