Automation Logic

When

Trigger

Phase readings move outside the selected imbalance limit.

Default

Phase imbalance rises above 10%

Choices
Phase imbalance rises above5%10%15%Enter value

Example: choose "Phase imbalance rises above" and keep the default 10%, select another preset, or enter another value.

If

Condition

The imbalance persists beyond the configured delay.

Default

No condition

Choices
No condition

Example: leave No condition selected when the trigger alone should run the workflow.

Then

Action

Stop the motor and send a phase imbalance alert.

Default

Stop the motor and alert me

Choices
Stop the motor and alert meOnly notify me

Example: choose "Stop the motor and alert me" for the default then behavior.

Active

Allowed Time

Use All day for three-phase motor protection.

Default

All day

Choices
All dayDay (6 AM - 6 PM)Night (6 PM - 6 AM)

Example: keep All day for protection workflows, or choose Day or Night when operation should stay inside site hours.

Commissioning Checks

  • Confirm the motor action or alert follows the selected protection condition.
  • Verify phase readings during commissioning and confirm the alert configuration.
  • Confirm the saved card shows the correct workflow, devices, schedule, and enabled state.
  • Review the event history after testing so the action is recorded as expected.
  • Keep safety-critical workflows active all day unless the site needs a specific time window.

Troubleshooting

  • If the Save button is disabled, complete every required trigger, condition, action, and timing field.
  • If the workflow does not run, confirm the devices are online and the active time allows it to run now.
  • If the action does not complete, check whether the target device is already in that state or cannot accept commands.
  • If notification behavior is missing, confirm phone notification permission and recent device data.
