Description

Modbus Communication

The Modbus communication option enables Schneider Electric low voltage circuit breakers to be connected to a supervisor or to any other device with a Modbus client communication channel.

The circuit breakers can be connected to:

  • An RS-485 serial line network with Modbus protocol using dedicated interfaces such as:

    • The BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module and the Modbus SL hub.

    • The IFM Modbus SL communication interface for one circuit breaker.

  • An Ethernet network with Modbus TCP/IP protocol using dedicated interfaces such as:

    • The IFE Ethernet communication interface for one circuit breaker.

    • The IFE Ethernet switchboard server.

Access to Functions

The Modbus communication option provides access to many functions, including:

  • read metering and diagnostic data

  • read status conditions and remote operations

  • transfer of time-stamped events

  • display protection settings

  • read the circuit breakers identification and configuration data

  • remote control of the circuit breaker

  • time-setting and synchronization

This list depends on the composition of the intelligent modular unit (IMU) (type of circuit breaker, of MicroLogic trip unit, and so on) and the enabled functions.
