Elsema: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of the Elsema MCi-VSD Controller?
The MCi-VSD is an advanced industrial-grade controller designed for automatic gates and industrial roller doors. It integrates a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to provide precise control, ultra-smooth operation, and high reliability for heavy-duty applications.
What motor sizes is the MCi-VSD compatible with?
Elsema offers four specific kits tailored to different motor power requirements:
- MCi-VSD04: For 0.4kW (1/2hp) motors.
- MCi-VSD07: For 0.75kW (1hp) motors.
- MCi-VSD15: For 1.5kW (2hp) motors.
- MCi-VSD22: For 2.2kW (3hp) motors.
How does the Variable Speed Drive (VSD) benefit the gate system?
The VSD allows for controlled acceleration and deceleration (soft start and soft stop). This reduces mechanical stress and wear on the gate or door components, significantly extending the overall lifespan of the system.
Can the MCi-VSD be used for high-cycle industrial applications?
Yes, as the controller utilizes a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) rather than standard mechanical contactors, it is ideal for high-traffic areas. The VSD reduces the inrush current and mechanical shock during every cycle, preventing the motor from overheating and reducing the physical strain on the gearbox and drive chain, which is essential for gates that operate frequently throughout the day.
Which operating system does the MCi controller use?
The controller utilizes the Eclipse® Operating System (EOS). This system is engineered to handle the robust and complex requirements of industrial environments while providing an intuitive user-friendly interface featuring a large LCD with One Touch control for straightforward setup and operation.
Can I use the MCi control card with my own existing VSD?
Yes. Elsema offers a Control Card Only option specifically for users who already have a Variable Speed Drive and wish to integrate the MCi’s advanced logic and Eclipse® Operating System into their current setup.
Can the MCi control card be used to run contactors?
Yes, the MCi control card is designed with the flexibility to operate in various industrial configurations, including those requiring contactors. While the MCi-VSD kits are optimized for Variable Speed Drives, the standalone MCi control card can be configured to control contactors for 3 phase or single phase motors.
Is there a motor kit available that has pre-wired contactors?
Yes, the 415S1E, 240S3E and 240S4E kits have built-in contactors ready to be wired directly to a suitable motor.
- 415S1E: Designed for 415V 3-phase motors.
- 240S3E: Designed for single phase 240V motors with a 3-wire configuration.
- 240S4E: Designed for single phase 240V motors using a 4-wire configuration.
Does the controller support wireless operation?
Yes, the MCi-VSD kits include two wireless keyring fob remotes. The system is compatible with both the PentaFOB® and PentaCODE® series of remote controls.
Can external control buttons be added to the system?
Yes. For industrial environments where manual wall-mounted operation is required, external control buttons can be installed upon request to supplement the wireless remote functionality.
