Composition Rules for IMUs

Rules for ULP Connection and Power Supply

Introduction

Connection of an IMU in the ULP system is simple, but must comply with the rules concerning composition, RJ45 plug/plug ULP cords, and the ULP module power supply.

General Rule: Composition of an IMU

An IMU is composed of the following two device types:
· One main device (circuit breaker or switch) and an internal ULP communication module
· One or several external ULP modules

Main device type

ULP modules

· PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breaker with BSCM circuit breaker status control module and/or MicroLogic 5 or 6 trip unit
· PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame switch-disconnector with BSCM circuit breaker status control module
· PowerPacT P- and R-frame circuit breaker with BCM ULP circuit breaker communication module
· MasterPacT NT/NW circuit breaker with BCM ULP circuit breaker communication module
MasterPacT MTZ drawout circuit breaker with ULP port module

· 0 or 1 FDM121 display · 0, 1, or 2 IO modules · 0 or 1 interface among:
IFE interface IFE server (1) IFM interface
· 0 or 1 FDM121 display · 0, 1, or 2 IO modules · 0 or 1 interface among:
IFE interface IFE server (1) IFM interface
· 0 or 1 FDM121 display · 0, 1, or 2 IO modules · 0 or 1 interface among:
IFE interface IFE server (1) EIFE embedded Ethernet interface IFM interface (LV434000 only)

MasterPacT MTZ fixed circuit breaker with ULP port module

· 0 or 1 FDM121 display · 0, 1, or 2 IO modules · 0 or 1 interface among:
IFE interface IFE server (1) IFM interface (LV434000 only)

(1) One IFE server with stacked IFM interfaces:
· In terms of power supply, the maximum number of IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server is 11 in order to limit voltage drop.
· In terms of Modbus-SL communication, it depends on the performance requirement. As it takes approximately 500 ms at 19,200 Baud per device to refresh 100 registers, the more interfaces added the longer the minimum refreshment period. The minimum refreshment period depends on the number of IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server. Multiply the time to refresh one device by the number of devices to find the minimum refreshment period expected in the application. For instance, an installation with eight IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server at 19,200 Baud would take approximately 4 seconds to be read.
For good communication performance, a maximum of eight IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server is recommended.

Rules for ULP Connection and Power Supply

Introduction

The grounding system of the ULP system architectures must be designed and installed in power switchgear and controlgear assemblies in accordance with ANSI C37.20.1 and UL 1558, UL 845, and UL 891 standards.
The types of grounding are as follows:
· Protective grounding:
Grounding a point or points in a system or in an installation or in equipment for purposes of electrical protection.
· Functional grounding:
Grounding a point or points in a system or in an installation or in equipment for purposes other than electrical protection.

Mounting Devices in the Electrical Enclosure
The following rules for mounting devices in the enclosure must be followed:
· The enclosure can be used to connect devices to the ground, in particular auxiliary power supply, PLC, and ULP modules, when the resistance between the protective conductor (PE) and all the metallic parts of the enclosure is 0.1 maximum (conforming to ANSI C37.20.1 and UL 1558, UL 845, and UL 891 standards).
NOTE: The PE wire of devices having power (for example, mains, circuit breakers, feeders, and variable speed drives) must be directly connected to the PE bar.
· All metallic parts of the enclosure must be connected together. The contact between parts must be metal on metal: paint and other isolating material must be removed. A special grease or paint must be applied on the connection to avoid corrosion in harsh environmental conditions (for example, relative humidity >65%, outdoor applications, atmosphere where corrosive agents, such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S, are present).
· The connection to the protective ground terminal block in the enclosure must be as short as possible.
· The power supply used with ULP modules is limited, page 53.
· Each DIN rail must be connected to the protective ground of the enclosure. A galvanized steel DIN rail is recommended rather than an aluminum one in order to provide the most consistent grounding.
The following figure shows installation for continuity of protective ground:

A DIN rail connected to the protective earth of the enclosure B Connection as short as possible

ULP (Universal Logic Plug) System

Functional Grounding
The Enerlin’X devices (IFE, EIFE, and IFM interfaces, IO module, and FDM121 display) have a functional ground. The functional ground is provided by the metallic parts of the assembly (enclosure with metallic DIN rails) having a resistance equal to 0.1 maximum with the main protective ground conductor (PE).
If the devices are mounted on the door of the enclosure, check the ground continuity between the door and the PE conductor. The door must be connected to the enclosure frame with at least one PE cable. It is recommended to use PE cable with copper braids.
Examples:

A Earthing connection on FDM121 display to be connected to the enclosure frame

B Earthing connection on EIFE interface in contact with earthing plate installed on MasterPacT MTZ circuit breaker

Rules for ULP Connection and Power Supply

Power Supply Distribution Systems
The power supply distribution system can be installed following either of these topologies:
· Star topology:
In a cubicle, the star supply distribution system is recommended to minimize EMC disturbances due to common impedance.
· Daisy chain topology:
The daisy chain supply distribution system enables service continuity: a device can be disconnected without impacting the others and the common impedance and voltage drop on devices are limited.

Star Supply Distribution System
The following diagram shows the design of a star supply distribution system (DC or AC). In this configuration, only the link between the main power supply and the terminal distribution is common impedance. The common impedance is minimized. The shorter the cable length (C), the lower the common impedance.
The wiring of each device must be done with twisted-pair cables to avoid loops and radiated emissions.

A Power supply B 0 V connection of power supply, page 53 C Cable between power supply and terminal distribution D Terminal distribution E Device (D1­Dn)
Daisy Chain Supply Distribution System
The devices in the system are connected in a daisy chain and a loop, in which the first and the last device are connected directly to the power supply. The cables between the daisy chain and the loop for reconnecting to the power supply must be close together to avoid current loop and generation of EMC disturbances.

Power Supply Distribution in a System with Several Cubicles
In a power supply distribution system with several cubicles, it is possible to feed three or four devices per line if the current consumption is low (less than 500 mA) and the total length is less than 5 m (16.4 ft). The following diagram shows the design of the power supply distribution system in a global system with several cubicles:
· The devices (D1­Dn) are connected in a star to reduce common impedance, page 50.
· The cubicles (C1­Cn) are connected in a daisy chain with additional loop wiring to minimize drop voltage, reduce common impedance, and provide service continuity.

Cubicles connected in daisy chain topology with cables for reconnecting to the power supply close to the loop Devices connected in star topology
ULP Module Consumption
To limit voltage drops on the ULP cords, the consumption of each RJ45 ULP port is limited to 300 mA. The following table lists ULP module consumption.

Power Supply Characteristics
NOTICE
LOSS OF DOUBLE INSULATION
· Supply the MicroLogic X control unit with a 24 Vdc SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) power supply only, connected through the ULP port module or through the terminal block for external power supply (F1- F2+). Pay attention to the polarity.
· Do not connect devices which do not have double insulation to the 24 Vdc SELV power supply which is being used to supply the MicroLogic X control unit. For example, do not use the same 24 Vdc SELV power supply to supply a MicroLogic X control unit for MasterPacT MTZ circuit breakers and a MicroLogic A/E/P/H trip unit for MasterPacT NT/NW circuit breakers.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in a basic/single insulated system.
The 24 Vdc power supplies of the ULP system must be SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) to provide insulation coordination and distribute a SELV along the entire length of the ULP connections. The 24 Vdc power supply must be connected at the primary end to a low-voltage distribution zone, whose overvoltage category is less than or the same as that of the 24 Vdc power supply:
· Power supplies in overvoltage category IV can be connected directly to the busbar system of a main low voltage distribution board.
Schneider Electric AD power supplies are overvoltage category IV.

52

0602IB1503-03

Rules for ULP Connection and Power Supply

ULP (Universal Logic Plug) System

· Power supplies in an overvoltage category lower than IV cannot be connected directly to the busbar system of a main low voltage distribution board. A minimum of one circuit isolation transformer is therefore needed between the busbar system of a main low voltage distribution board and a control circuit that can be connected to the primary of the 24 Vdc power supply.
Schneider Electric Phaseo ABL8 power supplies are overvoltage category II, like most standard power supplies.
The 24 Vdc SELV power supplies of the ULP system can be used to power other devices on condition that they have double insulation or reinforced insulation to retain the SELV nature of the power supply. These devices must not connect either the 0 V or the 24 Vdc to the local machine ground or the protective ground.

0 V Connection

0 V connection 0 V connected to ground
Floating 0 V

0 V of power supply can be connected to local ground or be floating. The following table presents the use cases and their recommendations.

Requirements

Recommendations

· TN-S neutral grounded electrical supply system
· Meshed earth
· The devices are powered with the same power supply.

Check that the common mode voltage between phase and ground is not higher than 7 Vac. Otherwise, add one power supply to reduce the load.

· The power supply is installed in the same electrical equipment as the devices.

· One or more connections of 0 V to ground: 0 V of devices is not connected to ground in the installation comprising the power supply and the devices.

If one or more of the requirements to connect 0 V to ground is not met, the 0 V of the power supply must be kept floating.

It is recommended to use an insulation monitoring device (Vigilohm IM20, for example) to detect the first phase-to-ground fault and improve continuity of service.

Power Supply Rating
Power supply rating rules are as follows: · To design the power supply dedicated to communication modules, check the maximum short-circuit current (Icc). It must not exceed 20 A. This is the maximum short-circuit current which can be withstood by the ULP modules. For example, the Icc of the ABL8 power supply is limited to 14 A for a 10 A nominal current. · The rating of the 24 Vdc power supply voltage for the furthest ULP module must be 24 Vdc +/-10% (21.6­26.4 Vdc).
Recommended 24 Vdc Power Supplies
The recommended 24 Vdc power supplies are: · Schneider Electric Phaseo ABL8 power supplies (3 to 10 A, overvoltage category II), are recommended for large installations. · Schneider Electric AD power supplies (1 A, overvoltage category IV), are recommended in the following cases: For installation limited to a few IMUs. As power supply of MicroLogic trip units in MasterPacT NT/NW or PowerPacT P- and R-framecircuit breakers.

24 Vdc Power Supply Connections Rules
To reduce electromagnetic interference, follow these rules: · The input and output wires of the 24 Vdc power supply must be physically separated as much as possible. · The output wires of the 24 Vdc power supply must be twisted together. · The output wires of the 24 Vdc power supply, communication cables, or line protected by a surge protection device (SPD) must cross over the power cables perpendicularly.

· The 24 Vdc power supply cables must be cut to length and be against the metallic frame of the grounded enclosure. Do not loop excess cable.

· Always flatten 24 Vdc power supply cables on the grounded metallic frame of cubicles to avoid ground loops.
· To route sensitive cable, follow corners inside enclosures, taking into account the cable bending radius.

24 Vdc Power Supply Cable Characteristics
The rules for a standard installation of the 24 Vdc power supply in the ULP system are as follows:
· Connect the power supply to a cable with one twisted pair.

0602IB1503-03

55

ULP (Universal Logic Plug) System

Rules for ULP Connection and Power Supply

· The minimum distance between power supply cable and other signals in the installation must be as follows:
Distance between power and control circuits = 100 mm (3.9 in).
Distance between power circuit and 24 Vdc or communication cables = 200 mm (7.9 in).
Distance between control circuit and 24 Vdc or communication cables = 100 mm (3.9 in).
To limit electromagnetic interference, apply the following additional installation rules:
· Connect the power supply to a one twisted-pair shielded cable.
· The cable shield must be connected to EMC clamps.
· The brass clamps must have suitable diameter for the cable type and fixings compatible with the installation, for example, screw or DIN rail (for example, EMClip® SKHZ brass clamps from Indu-Sol).

24 Vdc Power Supply Load Balance

Step 1 2 3 4

The power supply rating depends on the load balance, determined by the consumption of the devices in the IMU. Follow this procedure to verify that the power supply rating is correct:
Action
Calculate the load balance of the power supply taking into account ULP module consumption, page 51.
Measure the voltage on the last device connected to the power supply on the line.
Check that the measurement is compatible with the device tolerance.
In case of voltage drop, do one of the following: · Increase the cross-section of the power supply cable. · Make a loop to the power supply from the last cubicle in a daisy-chain architecture or the last device in the electrical equipment.

Connection to the Modbus-SL Network with IFM Interface

Introduction

Connect intelligent modular units to the Modbus network with the IFM Modbus-SL interface for one circuit breaker.
The 24 Vdc power supply terminal block delivered with the IFM interface is used to supply the IFM interface with power either in a daisy-chain or in a star connection.
In terms of power supply, the maximum number of IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server is 11 in order to limit voltage drop.
In terms of Modbus communication, it depends on the performance requirement. As it takes approximately 500 ms at 19,200 Baud per device to refresh 100 registers, the more interfaces added the longer the minimum refreshment period. The minimum refreshment period depends on the number of IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server. Multiply the time to refresh one device by the number of devices to find the minimum refreshment period expected in the application. For instance, an installation with eight IFM interfaces stacked to one IFE server at 19,200 Baud would take approximately 4 seconds to be read.

Connection of RJ45 Modbus Cable to the IFM Interface
The RJ45 Modbus cable connects to the Modbus-SL RJ45 port located on the top of the IFM interface.

Introduction

The Modbus client can be installed either:
· In the same electrical equipment as the IFM interfaces or in a separate section of electrical equipment from the IFM interfaces where the two sections of equipment are bolted together.
· In a separate section of the electrical equipment from the IFM interfaces where the two sections of equipment are not bolted together.
IFM interfaces with part number LV434000 and STRV00210 can be installed on the same Modbus-SL network, page 64.

Connection of IFM Interfaces to Modbus-SL Client
Connection to the Modbus-SL client depends on the number of IFM interfaces: · To connect a single IFM interface, use the RJ45 Modbus T-junction, page 63. · To connect several stacked IFM interfaces, use the RJ45 Modbus cable, page 63. · To interconnect several isolated IFM interfaces, page 93, use one of the following: The Modbus splitter block LU9GC3 The RJ45 Modbus T-junction

Modbus-SL Network Contained in Electrical Equipment
The Modbus-SL network is contained within the electrical equipment when both the following conditions are fulfilled:
· The Modbus-SL network between the IFM interfaces is connected to the Modbus client (a PLC, for example) or to an IFE Ethernet switchboard server integrated in the electrical equipment.
· The Modbus-SL network between the IFM interfaces does not exit the electrical equipment to extend to another electrical equipment.

ULP System Architectures

Introduction

The ULP system architecture is defined by the way in which the Ethernet or Modbus-SL network interconnects the intelligent modular units (IMUs).
The various possible ULP system connections define four architectures.
· Standalone architecture, page 76: the IMUs are not communicating to communication interfaces (IFE, EIFE, or IFM interfaces).
· Centralized Modbus architecture, page 78: the IMUs are communicating to communication interfaces (IFE servers and IFM interfaces). The IFE servers and IFM interfaces are grouped in islands, mounted side-by-side on a DIN rail and interconnected by the stacking accessory.
· Distributed Modbus architecture: the IMUs are communicating to IFM interfaces. The IFM interfaces are distributed as close as possible to the ULP modules in the IMU and linked by the Modbus cable.
There are two possible configurations for the distributed Modbus architecture:
Daisy-chained distributed Modbus architecture, page 86
Tap-linked distributed Modbus architecture, page 93
Both these distributed architectures can be combined to form a mixed architecture.
· Daisy-chained Ethernet architecture, page 105: the IMUs are communicating to IFE or EIFE interfaces. The IFE and EIFE interfaces are distributed as close as possible to the ULP modules in the IMU and linked by the Ethernet cable.
· Star Ethernet architecture, page 103: the IMUs are communicating to IFE or EIFE interfaces. The IFE or EIFE interfaces are distributed as close as possible to the ULP modules in the IMU and linked by the Ethernet cable to the switch.
The distributed and centralized architectures can be combined to adapt to the electrical installation and its restrictions.
The ULP system architectures follow rules for building low-voltage switchboards in compliance with ANSI C37.20.1 and UL 1558, UL 845, and UL 891 standards.

ULP System Architectures

Introduction

When the intelligent modular units are not communicating to communication interfaces (IFE, EIFE, or IFM interfaces), the architecture is classified as standalone.

Standalone Architecture
The following figure shows an example of a standalone architecture with IMUs consisting of an FDM121 front display module for one circuit breaker or an IO input/output application module for one circuit breaker and a compatible circuit breaker (PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame, PowerPacT P- and R-frame, or MasterPacT NT/NW) equipped with a MicroLogic trip unit.
The IMUs do not communicate to communication interfaces and do not therefore include an IFE or IFM interface. Power the IMUs by using an external power supply connected to the FDM121 display.

Tap-Linked Distributed Modbus Architecture

Introduction

The tap-linked distributed Modbus architecture can be one of the following:
· A Modbus splitter block distributes Modbus cable up to eight IFM interfaces.
· The main segment of the Modbus cable has a shunt terminal block on the incomer of each cubicle and the IFM interfaces are connected on a tap link cable.

Tap-Linked Distributed Modbus Architecture With Modbus Splitter Block
The following figure shows an example of a tap-linked distributed Modbus architecture with nine IMUs:
· An IMU consisting of a PowerPacT P- and R-frame circuit breaker and an IFM interface.
· Eight IMUs consisting of a PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breaker, an IFM interface, and an FDM121 display each.
