DDMP COM: The Next-Generation System for Advanced Motor Protection and Intelligent Monitoring
An essential technological innovation for all AC Electric Motors
Electric motors are the core of many industrial systems: a failure not only causes machine downtime but can also compromise entire infrastructures and generate significant costs. Therefore is not enough ,passive protection it is important to have an intelligent solutions able to diagnose and communicate anomalies in real time.
The DDMP COM (Digital Motor Diagnostic and Protection Device with MODBUS Communication) marks a significant evolutionary leap in motor management.Compact and easy to assemble , it not only protects the motor but also immediately shows the fault reasons on its integrated screen and transmits diagnostic data via MODBUS RTU.Designed with pass-through current transformers (TA), the device allows the fast and simple installation on new and existing systems—making it a flexible and strategic choice for modern industrial applications.
Custom-designed intelligent protection for critical environments
Durability and reliability assured
The device works with a nominal voltage of up to 1000V AC at 50/60Hz and integrates a “Fail Safe” system that prevents motor control when not powered, ensuring maximum operational safety even under absent or unstable power conditions.
Advanced protection solutions for all operating conditions
Any anomaly is indicated by the “AL” LED turning ON and clearly displayed on the screen.
Intelligent Overload Protection: Designed for single-phase and three-phase motors, it provides differentiated cold (5, 10, 20, 30 seconds) and hot (one-third of cold times) protection, compliant with EN/IEC 60947-4-1 standards, featuring four trip classes.
Power Supply Continuity Monitoring: Phase loss protection (>3 seconds) and phase imbalance detection (>40% for 30 seconds)¹ are essential in environments where power quality may be compromised.
Advanced Thermal Monitoring: The system provides:
-
Thermistor overtemperature protection >3500±300Ω with automatic reset at 1500±300Ω. Motor protection via thermistor <500Ω.
- External Integration: Alternatively, contacts can be used for external signal reading from a clean contact.
Industrial connectivity that makes the difference.
MODBUS RTU: The Open-Source Language of Automation
The integration of MODBUS RTU communication permits information transmission.
Real-time Monitoring of Critical Parameters
The device continuously monitors:
-
Phase currents for load analysis
-
Average current for operational efficiency control
-
Thermal load for overheating prevention
-
Status of external contacts
LCD Display: Immediate Access to Critical Information
The LCD display with buttons provides direct access to status information, essential for on-site interventions in environments where network connectivity may not always be available.
One Integrated Solution, Six Available Models, Endless Applications

A Strategic Partner for Predictive Analytics and Maintenance
Proactive Component Monitoring
The DDMP COM goes beyond basic protection by enabling monitoring of electrical parameters for maintenance analysis, while providing instantaneous fault detection.
Operational Efficiency Control: Monitoring nominal current and detecting low current conditions enables the identification of mechanical anomalies, such as broken drive belts, through visual alerts and the transmission of warning byte 255 via MODBUS.
Lifecycle Management:
-
Operating Hours Tracking: Automatic monitoring with customizable thresholds (default H=65535)
-
Start Count: Tracking the number of startups to schedule preventive maintenance (default St=65535)
Configurable Reset Options
- Tele Reset / Remote Reset / Auto Reset (Alternatively, contacts are used to read an external clean contact signal)
Remote Control Enablement: Capability to remotely manage critical parameters via MODBUS (default RC=NO).
The Future of Motor Protection Technology Is Already Here
The DDMP COM is not only an evolution of traditional protection systems; it represents a revolution in the approach to managing electric motors in critical environments.
For all critical and hard-to-access applications, where reliability is non-negotiable, immediate fault detection can make a significant economic difference by preventing machine downtime, ensuring service continuity, and eliminating the cost of fault diagnostics.
The DDMP COM is the right investment to ensure an only combination of protection, diagnostics, and communication, transforming each motor into an intelligent component of your system.
The technology is ready. The applications are endless. The time to evolve is now.
