BSCM Module With Commercial Reference LV434205

Introduction

The BSCM module with commercial reference LV434205 is substituted by the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module with commercial reference LV434220.

The following table shows the specificities for each BSCM module.

Characteristics BSCM module with commercial reference LV434205 BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module with commercial reference LV434220

Connectivity

Can communicate via a ULP system

Can communicate via a ULP system and via a Modbus communication network

NSX cord mandatory

Yes

No

SD status availability

Always available (via NSX cord)

Available when NSX cord or SD auxiliary contact for BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module is connected

Communication interface required

IFM or IFE communication interface

Acts as a communication interface module

The BSCM Breaker Status Control Module can be used to send the following data via the communication network:

  • Circuit breaker states from OF, SD, and SDE auxiliary contacts

  • Control instructions for the communicating motor mechanism (if present): opening, closing, and resetting

  • Information to assist the operator: storage of the last 10 events

Use the BSCM module with ComPacT NSX DC circuit breakers equipped with thermal-magnetic trip units, and with ComPacT NSX DC switch-disconnectors.

NOTE: The BSCM module cannot be installed in a ComPacT NSX DC EP circuit breaker.

Installation of the BSCM module requires:

  • The NSX cord

  • Pre-installation of the communicating motor mechanism (if present)

Comments

A

BSCM module microswitches

State of OF and SDE contacts

The BSCM module takes the place of the auxiliary contacts in the OF and SDE slots.

B

Connector for the NSX cord

Communication network and state of SD contact through the microswitch on the NSX cord

The NSX cord goes in the SD slot instead of the auxiliary contact.

C

Connector for the MicroLogic 5, 6, or 7 trip units

Communication network

Not used with ComPacT NSX DC circuit breakers.

D

Connector for the communicating motor mechanism

Controlling the communicating motor mechanism

Status of the communicating motor mechanism

Use the connector supplied with the communicating motor mechanism.

Installing the BSCM Module

The slots used to install the BSCM module depend on the circuit breaker type.

A BSCM module

B NSX cord

The BSCM module cannot be installed at the same time as an OF contact or the SDE contact.

The BSCM module can be installed on site.

For more information about installation, consult the instruction sheet on the Schneider Electric website: GHD16046AA ComPacT NSX DC – BSCM.

Connecting the BSCM Module

To install the BSCM module:

  • Plug in the module.

  • Connect the connectors.

Setting Up the BSCM Module

Setting up the BSCM module on the communication network requires no addressing.

Data Provided by the BSCM Module

Configuration

Information

Can be reset

All circuit breakers with BSCM module

Count of the total number of times the circuit breaker opens and closes (count of OF contact operations).

This counter (totalizer) cannot be reset.

No

Count of the total number of times the circuit breaker opens and closes (count of OF contact operations)(1)

Yes

Maximum number of times the circuit breaker can open and close(2)

Yes

Count of the number of fault trips by the circuit breaker (count of SD contact operations)(1)

Yes

Count of the number of electrical fault trips by the circuit breaker (count of SDE contact operations)(1)

Yes

Circuit breakers with BSCM module and communicating motor mechanism

Count of the number of times the communicating motor mechanism opens(1)

No

Count of the number of times the communicating motor mechanism closes(1)

Yes

Maximum number of times the communicating motor mechanism closes(2)

Yes

Count of the number of times the communicating motor mechanism resets(1)

Yes

(1) The user can modify the content of the counter if, for example, the BSCM module is installed or replaced during operation.

(2) Overshooting the threshold results in a medium priority alarm. To acknowledge the alarm, modify the content of the counter or the value of the threshold.

Configuring the BSCM Module

To configure the BSCM module, use a PC running EcoStruxure Power Commission software and connected to the USB maintenance interface.

The USB maintenance interface must be connected to the RJ45 connector of a ULP module (for example, IFM Modbus SL communication interface).

With EcoStruxure Power Commission software, you can configure:

  • The maximum number of times the circuit breaker can open and close.

  • The maximum number of times the communicating motor mechanism can close.

  • The reset mode of the communicating motor mechanism.

Configuring the Resetting of the Communicating Motor Mechanism

CAUTION
HAZARD OF REPEATED CLOSING ON ELECTRICAL FAULT
Reconfiguring of the BSCM Breaker Status Control Module must be done only by qualified electrical personnel.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

The reset mode of the communicating motor mechanism can be configured using the EcoStruxure Power Commission software:

  • Enable Reset even if SDE to authorize resetting of the mechanism using the communication network even after an electrical fault trip.

  • Enable Automatic Reset to authorize automatic resetting after tripping by the MN, MX trip release, or push-to-trip button.

  • Enable Reset even if SDE and Enable Automatic Reset to authorize automatic resetting even after an electrical fault trip.
