1.1 Profile
The THYRITOP 500 series of microprocessor advanced solid
state power units controls, in compact and optimized size, high
electric powers with different types of heating elements, single-
phase, biphase or triphase. Current levels range from 40A
to 250A, nominal voltage from 480 VAC to 600VAC.
The command input is congurable and accepts 0-10V, 0/4-20mA
signals, potentiometer, logic signals, including with PWM modes
for cost effective solutions.
The device can also be operated via Modbus RTU serial
communication, with IN/OUT chain connections facilitated
by plug-in RJ10 (telephone) connectors.
The several trigger modes are software congurable and provide:
- ZC : Zero Crossing constant cycle time (settable in range
1-200sec), for conventional loads.
- BF : Burst-Firing, Zero crossing with optimized minimum cycle
time, for systems with low thermal inertia, medium-wave IR lamps.
- HSC : Half Single Cycle Zero Crossing corresponds to Burst
Firing that manages single semi-cycles of conduction or stop
cycles, useful for short-wave IR lamps, reduces ickering and
limits generation of EMC noise on the power line (applied only
to single-phase load or open delta).
- PA: Phase angle control, useful for short-wave IR lamps,
transformer primaries. Completely eliminates ickering of load
laments, but generates EMC noise on power line (harmonics).
Soft Start and soft stop ramp functions can be assigned to these
controls with limitation of current peaks and/or maximum RMS
current level.
Thanks to sophisticated Hardware and Software solutions,
you can precisely control different types of loads.
Phase angle control (the only control method that completely
eliminates IR lamp ickering), matched with current, voltage,
or load power feedback functions, allows the easy use of “critical”
applications such as (for example), special resistors such
as special Super Khantal™ heating elements, Silicon Carbide
resistors, or transformer primaries either single-phase or triphase.
THYRITOP 500 runs complete diagnostics of current, voltage,
power, and temperature levels:
Current Diagnostics:
- Total and partial load interrupt alarm
- Self-learn function of alarm limit for interrupted load
- Alarm for SCR in short circuit
- Alarm for load in short circuit or overcurrent
Voltage Diagnostics:
- Alarm for absence of phase
Temperature Diagnostics:
- Alarm for over temperature of power module
1 • PRELIMINARY INSTUCTIONS
Power control with Soft start ramp limits load, optimizes
the consumptions and increases the load operating duration.
Device parameters can be congured from PC, by means of
a simple conguration SW which lets you save all parameters
in a conguration le that is easy to manage and to copy to other
devices.
Moreover, an RS485 serial connection of THYRITOP 500 is
offered with Modbus RTU protocol to control currents, voltages,
powers, load status, and device status from the supervisor terminal
(HMI) or PLC.
The section contains general information and
warnings to be read before installing, conguring
and using the controller.

This section contains the instructions needed for
correct installation of THYRITOP 500 controllers
on the machine/host system control panel and for
correct connection of the power supply, inputs,
outputs and interfaces.
Carefully read the following warnings before
installing the instrument. Disregard of such
warnings could create electrical safety
and electromagnetic compatibility problems,
as well as void the warranty.
2.1 electrical Power suPPly
• The controller THYRITOP 500 DOES NOT have an On/Off
switch: the user must install switch/isolator conforming to
safety requisites (CE mark) to cut off the power supply up-line
of the controller. The switch must be installed in the immediate
vicinity of the controller in easy reach of the operator.
A single switch can be used for multiple devices.
* The earth connection must be made with a specic lead
• If the product is used in applications with risk of harm
torisques persons or damage to machines or materials,
it must be equipped with auxiliary alarm devices.
It is advisable to provide the ability to check for tripped alarms
during regular operation.
Do not install the THYRITOP 500 in rooms with hazardous
(inammable or explosive) atmosphere; it may be connected
to elements that operated in such atmosphere only by means
of appropriate interfaces that conform to current safety
standards.
2.2 notes on electrical safety
anD electromaGnetic comPatibility:
2.2.1 CE MARKING:
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) conformity
in compliance with Directive EMC 2014/30/EU.
THYRITOP 500 power controllers are mainly intended
to operate in industrial environments, installed
in the control cabinets of machines or production
systems. For electromagnetic compatibility, the most
restrictive general standards have been applied,
as indicated in the corresponding table.
2.2.2 LV conformity (low voltage)
in compliance with Directive 2014/35/EU.
EMC conformity has been veried.
See the information in tables 1 and 2.
2 • INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
2.3 recommenDations for correct installation
for PurPoses of emc:
2.3.1 Instrument power supply
• The power supply for the electronic instrumentation
on the panels must always come directly from a cut-off
device with fuse for the instrument part.
•Electronic instrumentation and electromechanical
power devices such as relays, contactors, solenoids,
etc., MUST ALWAYS be powered by separate lines.
• When the power supply line of electronic instruments
is heavily disturbed by switching of thyristor power
groups or by motors, you should use an isolation
transformer only for the controllers, grounding
its sheathing.
• It is important for the system to be well-grounded:
- voltage between neutral and ground must not be
> 1V
- Ohmic resistance must be < 6Ω;
• If the grid voltage is highly unstable, use a voltage
stabilizer.
• In proximity of high-frequency generators or arc
welders, use adequate grid lters.
• The power supply lines must be separate from
instrument input and output lines.
2.3.2 Input and output connections
Before connecting or disconnecting any connection,
always check that the power and control cables
are isolated from voltage.
Appropriate devices must be provided : fuses or
automatic switches to protect power lines.
The fuses present in the module function solely as
a protection for the THYRITOP 500 semiconductors.
• Connected outside circuits must be doubly isolated.
• It is necessary to :
- physically separate the input cables from those of
the power supply, outputs, and power connections.
- use braided and shielded cables, with sheathing
grounded at a single point.
2.3.3 Installation notes
Use the extra-rapid fuse indicated in the catalogue according
to the connection example equipped.
- Moreover, the applications with solid-state units require
a safety automatic switch to section the load power line.
To ensure maximum reliability, the device must be
correctly installed in the panel in such a way as to obtain
adequate heat exchange between the heat sink and the
surrounding air under conditions of natural convection.
Fit the device vertically (maximum angle 10° to the vertical
axis) see gure 3.
