UT_MOTOR_2SPD — Two-speed starter (Dahlander or separate windings)
UT_MOTOR_2SPD — Two-speed starter (Dahlander or separate windings)
Low and high speed contactors that are never on together, plus an optional
star-bridge contactor for Dahlander motors, with a changeover dead time and an
optional "start in low first". Modes, interlocks, protection, faults and restart
rules are as UT_MOTOR.

UT_PROTECTION | TRIP · 0 · MANUAL | Contactor feedback wrong for the sequence (faultCode bit 9) |
cmdLow / cmdHigh |
BOOL | FALSE | Hand: run at low / high speed (each acts once, on its rising edge, then cleared: one held TRUE acts once) |
highSpeed (status) |
BOOL | The high speed contactor is on |
A negative speedChangeDelay or lowStartTime acts as 0 and raises a config warning
(wrnConfig). Everything else (modes, protections, cmdStart / cmdStop, status) is
in the motor record Data.
How it works
- Speed. Auto:
AutoHigh. Hand:cmdLow/cmdHighchoose the speed and start
it;cmdStartandLocalStartstart at the speed chosen last. Low and high
together do nothing. The speed commands are ignored (and cleared) in Off and Auto.
Switching Auto → Hand keeps the speed it was running at. - Start in low: with
startInLow, a run asked for high starts in low, stays there
lowStartTime, then changes up through the dead time. Once a run has done that (or
has been at high), later changes up go straight to high after the dead time.
WithoutstartInLow, high starts directly. - Changing speed while running: the running contactor goes off at once, the dead
time runs, then the other contactor comes on. The motor stays requested the whole
time, soRunningstays on, a permissive does not stop it, and the restart delay
does not apply. If the request goes back to the old speed during the dead time, that
contactor comes straight back on. - Starting after a stop: the same speed starts at once; the other speed waits
untilspeedChangeDelayhas passed since the last contactor went off. - After a power-up either speed waits
speedChangeDelayfirst, because the motor
may still be turning. - With feedback supervised (
useFeedback, not insimulate), the new speed also
waits until the other contactor's aux shows open; withspeedChangeDelay = T#0s
there is still at least one scan with both off. - Changeover protection (
changeover, bit 9, TRIP · MANUAL by default) trips when
both auxes show closed, when the aux of the speed that is off shows closed while the
other speed is on, or when a contactor switched off for a speed change still shows
closed afterstuck.delay(the other speed is never switched on into it). A contact
that stays closed at standstill is the welded-contactor protection (stuck). - If the new speed's aux does not confirm after a change,
feedbackLosttrips; if the
motor never had feedback,noFeedbackdoes.
Status
statusCode, faultId and statusText say the one main thing the motor is
doing, or what holds it back, so a technician can see on the HMI why it is not
running without opening the program. A motor asked to run that is not running
always shows a held, fault or configuration status. The most important reason wins:
configuration > fault > held / waiting > warning > running > idle. A warning shows
over "Running" so it is seen. The time that goes with a status is in timeLeft.
The text is rebuilt only when the status or the fault changes. The numbers are in
conventions.

<fault> is faultId, one of: UT_F_OVERLOAD (overload) · UT_F_MOTOR_HOT (motor
too hot) · UT_F_NO_FEEDBACK (no run feedback) · UT_F_FEEDBACK_LOST (feedback
lost) · UT_F_WELDED (contactor welded) · UT_F_CURRENT_HIGH (current high) ·

<setting> is one of: UT_F_FLC (full load current) · UT_F_CURRENT_NEEDS_FLC
(current needs FLC) · UT_F_START_MASK (start mask) · UT_F_RESTART_DELAY (restart
delay) · UT_F_HAND_MAX_RUN (hand max run) · a protection's name (its delay,
recover or maxRetries).
This block adds the settings UT_F_SPEED_CHANGE (speed change delay) · UT_F_LOW_START_TIME (low start time), both when negative, and uses UT_F_CHANGEOVER for its changeover protection.
The rows marked (this block) come from its own sequence and show from the scan after it changes.
