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.
