Three Phase Jog Control System

Actuator Control Systems

Three Phase Jog Controls are designed for a wide range of standard three phase electric motors. And they are designed to operate single or multiple electric motors.

Duff-Norton Motion Control Solutions

Features & Benefits
  • Standard Three Phase Jog Controls
    Can be configured to jog motors at 208/220/230/240/400/460/480 and 575 VAC at either 50 or 60Hz.
  • Two Standard Methods for Jogging Three Phase Motors:

Momentary Jog - Pushbutton must be pressed and held to run motor. Releasing pushbutton will stop motor
Maintained Jog - Pushbutton must be pressed and released to run motor. Stop pushbutton must be pressed to stop motor.

  • Flexibility
    Allows greater flexibility for motion applications.
  • Multiple Processes
    Can be achieved with the same equipment by adjusting speeds.
  • Cost Efficiency
    Eliminates the need for additional equipment for fast or slow processes
  • Increaces Equipment Durablity
    • Eliminates equipment hard starts and stops
    • Prolongs equipment life

Three Phase Jog System Control Methods

Method 1 - Momentary Jog Controls

  • Press and hold the extend or retract pushbutton.
  • Control voltage is applied to the limit switch.
  • Control voltage from the limit switch energizes the motor starter.
  • The motor starter supplies three phase power to the motor. The motor will run clockwise or counterclockwise to extend or retract the actuator.
  
  • Releasing the extend or retract pushbutton de-energizes the motor starter stopping the motor and actuator.
  • If the normally closed limit switch is activated the motor starter will be de-energized stopping the motor and actuator.

Method 2 - Maintained Jog Controls

  • Press and release the extend or retract pushbutton.
  • Control voltage is applied to the limit switch.
  • Control voltage from the limit switch passes through the stop pushbutton and energizes the motor starter.
  • The motor starter supplies three phase power to the motor. The motor will run clockwise or counterclockwise to extend or retract the actuator.
  
  • Pressing the stop pushbutton de-energizes the motor starter stopping the motor and actuator.
  • If the normally closed limit switch is activated the motor starter will be de-energized stopping the motor and actuator.
