FAQ: SMC‑2 (150‑A Series)

What is the SMC‑2 (150‑A Series) used for?

These controllers are used to manage motor startup and stopping while reducing inrush current and stress on mechanical systems. They are well suited for pump, fan, and conveyor applications requiring basic soft-start operation.

How do I interpret an SMC‑2 part number?

Example: 150‑A60NBD

150‑A60NBD
│   │ │ │
│   │ │ └─ Control options (B/D = 24–240 V AC/DC)
│   │ └─ Voltage class (N = 200–600 V AC)
│   └─ Current (60 = 60 A)
└─ Series (150‑A = SMC‑2)
  
What voltage and current ranges are supported?

The SMC‑2 series supports motor currents up to approximately 97 A and is designed for 200–600 V AC systems. Enclosed and open-frame options are available to fit your installation needs.

What start/stop modes are offered?

SMC‑2 units typically provide Soft-Start, Full-Voltage Start, and Current-Limit Start. They include both normal stop and soft stop capabilities, programmable via DIP switches.

Does the SMC‑2 include motor protection?

Yes—basic electronic overload protection is included, along with diagnostics for phase loss, under- and over-voltage issues, and overload conditions.

Can I add communication options?

No—SMC‑2 controllers do not support network communications. For DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, or other networked options, you’ll need to choose SMC‑Flex or Dialog Plus series controllers.
