IFE System Interface

The IFE interface and IFE switchboard server enable Masterpact or PowerPact LV circuit breakers to be connected to an Ethernet network.

• The IFE interface module provides Ethernet access to a single LV circuit breaker.

• Tthe IFE switchboard server interface module provides Ethernet access for up to 20 LV circuit breakers.

Functions

• Interface - one circuit breaker is connected to the IFE interface via its ULP port .

• Server: several circuit breakers on a Modbus network are connected via a stacking connector to the IFE switchboard server master Modbus port.

• Collects and provides data to the PowerView Remote Access on web pages from multiple IP devices (other IFE, PM5000,…).

IFE interface, IFE switchboard server features

• Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port for simple daisy chain connection.

• Device profile web service for discovery of the IFE interface, IFE switchboard server on the LAN.

• ULP compliant for localization of the IFE interface in the switchboard.

• Ethernet interface for Compact, Masterpact and PowerPact circuit breakers.

• Gateway for Modbus-SL connected devices (IFE switchboard server only).

• Embedded set-up web pages.

• Embedded monitoring web pages.

• Embedded control web pages.

• Built-in e-mail alarm notification.

Mounting

The IFE interface, IFE switchboard server are DIN rail mounting devices.

A stacking accessory enables the user to connect several IFMs (ULP to Modbus interfaces) to an IFE switchboard server without additional wiring.

24 Vdc Power Supply

The IFE interface, IFE switchboard server requires 24 Vdc power.

IFMs stacked to an IFE switchboard server are supplied by the IFE switchboard server so it is not necessary to supply them separately. Use a UL listed and recognized limited voltage/limited current or a Class 2 power supply with a 24 Vdc, 3 A maximum.

IFE Interface, IFE Switchboard Server Firmware Update

The firmware can be updated using EcoStruxure Power Commission software.

The connection to IFE interface or IFE switchboard server requires a communication module embedded into the circuit breaker:

• PowerPact H/J/L: NSX cord and/or BSCM module

• Masterpact NT/NW, PowerPact P/R (Fixed electrically operated): BCM ULP communication module

• Drawout Masterpact NT/NW, PowerPact P/R: BCM ULP and its respective IO (Input/Output) application module.

All connection configurations for Masterpact NT/NW, PowerPact P, PowerPact R require the breaker ULP cord. The insulated NSX cord is only for PowerPact H/J/L. It is not needed for Proxima architecture due to optical isolation between the trip unit and the BCM ULP. When the second ULP RJ45 connector is not used, install a ULP terminator (TRV00880) into the unused ULP port.
