Introduction
The NSX cord connects a circuit breaker to the ULP communication network.
The NSX cord can be used:
-
With a MicroLogic 5, 6, or 7 trip unit, for:
-
Communicating MicroLogic measurements and settings
-
Connecting the IMU to an IFE or IFM communication interface
-
Connecting the IMU to an FDM121 display
-
Connecting the IMU to IO modules
-
-
With a BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module:
-
For communicating the SD trip status to the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module (in ULP only mode or in Modbus SL and ULP mode)
-
For connecting the IMU to an IFE or IFM communication interface (in ULP only mode)
-
For connecting the IMU to an FDM121 display or IO modules (in Modbus SL and ULP mode)
-

State of SD contact |
The NSX cord goes into the SD slot instead of the auxiliary contact. |
B |
Cable equipped with an RJ45 connector for connection to a ULP module. |
Communication network |
Three cable lengths are available:
|
C |
Internal link to the MicroLogic 5, 6, or 7 trip unit or the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module. |
Communication network |
With the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module, the NSX cord also transmits the circuit breaker states. |
The NSX cord also provides the 24 Vdc power supply:
-
For the MicroLogic 5, 6, or 7 trip unit (without BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module)
-
For the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module (when this module is installed)
Installation
The slots used to install the NSX cord depend on the circuit breaker type.

The NSX cord cannot be installed at the same time as the SD contact.
The NSX cord can be installed on site.
For more information about installation, consult the instruction sheet on the Schneider Electric website: GHD16047AA ComPacT NSX100–630 – NSX Cord.
NSX Cord Connection
The NSX cord connects to a ULP module:
-
IFM or IFE communication interface
-
FDM121 display
-
IO module
The figures below illustrate examples of connections of ULP modules by using the NSX cord.
