Connecting Devices to Acti 9 Smartlink

The Acti 9 Smartlink, Acti 9 Smartlink Ethernet, Acti 9 Smartlink SI-B, and Powertag Link are communication system modular interfaces that are used to remotely meter, monitor, and control the essential functions of one or more distribution panels. The Smartlink provides multiple digital channels supporting two digital inputs and one digital output. The Acti 9 Smartlink supports eleven digital channels. The Acti 9 Smartlink Ethernet and Acti 9 Smartlink SI-B supports seven digital channels.
Prior to creating the Smartlink device on the Com’X it is recommended to configure the Smartlink device inputs through the web interface or the EcoStruxure Power Commission tool.
  1. Click the Device Settings main tab.
  2. Click the Smartlink device created earlier in the device tree view.
  3. Click the Channel Accordion which the device is connected.
  4. Click input 1 or input 2 drop-down under Devices .
    NOTE: Input 1 drop-down is labeled CX_I1, and input 2 drop-down is labeled CX_I2 where ‘X’ is the channel number.
  5. Select Create a new device in the selected input drop-down list.
  6. Select the type of device to be created from the drop-down list.
    NOTE: Only the devices that can be connected to this interface are listed: Schneider Electric pulse meters, utility meters, contactors, impulse relays, and Acti 9 auxiliary devices. You may create your own custom device if it is not listed.

    The following Acti 9 Auxiliary devices utilize both channel inputs and must be created on input 1: Acti9 OFSD24, Acti9 OF24, Acti9 SD24, Acti9 Reflex iC60, Acti9 RCA iC60, Acti9 iACT24, and Acti 9 iATL24.
  7. Configure the device.
  8. Click Create and the device appears in the device tree view downstream from the Acti 9 Smartlink.
NOTE: To ensure values get reported and displayed correctly, match the configuration on both physical Smarlink device and the device created on Com'X. Values displayed as ‘- - ‘ in the Measurements Table or Single Device View page indicate a configuration mismatch or a communication error. This applies to the Acti 9 pulse meters and wired auxiliary devices.
