U-PaS I-LEM Connections
- Install the U-PaS I-Line Enable Module according to the I-Line Enable Module installation instructions.
- Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector labeled
"ETHER 1" on the accessory panel for remote set-up or monitoring of
the U-PaS I-Line Enable Module.
Optional: A second Ethernet RJ45 connection, labeled "ETHER 2," is available for daisy chaining an ERMS I-LEM or PM I-LEM, or for daisy chaining Ethernet communicating equipment.
Refer to U-PaS I-LEM Communication Schematic Diagram and JYT1888601—U-PaS I-Line Enable Module (240, 480, and 600 VAC).
- Connect the Modbus Serial cable to the RJ45 connector labeled "RS-485" on the accessory panel of the I-Line Enable Module for daisy chaining an IFM I-Line Enable Module, or for daisy chaining Modbus Serial communicating equipment. This type of configuration allows ULP connections to provide communication to other communicating circuit breakers.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
|
Modbus Serial Connections
- When connecting two communication I-Line Enable Modules or alternative Modbus communication equipment, you may use an RS-485 2-wire Modbus connection.
- When connecting Modbus-SL communicating devices such as IFM and U-PaS I-Line Enable Modules, perform the connection using a 2 x RJ45 Modbus cable (for example, VW3A8306R03, VW3A8306R10, or VW3A8306R30).
- If the connection is between an I-Line Enable Module and
any other gateway or Modbus equipment, the receiving components should
be capable of accepting an RS-485 2-wire Modbus connection.NOTE: When adding an additional IFM I-Line Enable Module to a system that uses an IFE gateway, observe the following general guidelines for sizing the application.
-
Maximum of 11 IFM interfaces can be physically connected to one IFE server. This can be used for applications that have the lowest performance requirement and are recommended for simple applications.
-
Maximum of eight IFM interfaces should be used for applications that require regular access via the IFE web pages or that have other primaries communicating, such as FDM128 display. This normally provides a reasonable response time for up to three primaries.
-
Refer to Enerlin'X IFE Ethernet Switchboard Server User Guide, DOCA0084EN, for more information.
-
- Each IFM I-Line Enable Module comes with one IFM installed.
Each IFM I-Line Enable Module can have additional IFMs installed per
the following rules:

The design of the I-Line Enable Modules IFM and ERM2 allows for the expansion of the available communication capacity. Both versions allow the addition of IFMs for communicating to MicroLogic trip units. The MicroLogic trip units must be capable of communication and these can be in the PowerPacT H-, J-, L-, P-, and/or R-frame circuit breakers.
The expansion kits listed in Kits for Additional IFM Installation provide all components and instructions necessary for expanding the units listed in I-Line Enable Modules Available for Expanding Communication.

Expanding Communication by Adding IFMs - Installation Instructions
- Follow all Lockout/Tagout procedures prior to removing the I-Line Enable Module from the equipment. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the equipment. Remove the I-Line Enable Module from the equipment prior to removing the I-Line Enable Module covers.
- Refer to Kits for Additional IFM Installation and I-Line Enable Modules Available for Expanding Communication for necessary kits to install additional IFMs to I-Line Enable Module and applicable units.
- Remove the top and side covers by removing the screws, identified in Cover Removal, using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
- Remove the DIN rail mounted spacers (MG27062)—two spacers equal the same width of one IFM.
- Install the stacking accessory (TRV00217) on the DIN rail as shown in steps 5a and 5b of IFM Installation.
- Remove the cover from the bottom of the IFM unit, as shown in steps 6a and 6b of IFM Installation.
- Place the IFM onto the installed stacking accessory on the DIN rail, as shown in steps 7a, 7b, and 7c of IFM Installation.
- Connect the RJ45 connector of the patch cord to the RJ45 port located at the bottom of the IFM and identified with the ULP pictogram, as shown in steps 8 and 9 of IFM ULP Ports.
- Install the ULP line terminator (TRV00880) in the second RJ45 port located at the bottom of the IFM and identified with the ULP pictogram, as shown in steps 8 and 9 of IFM ULP Ports.
- Remove the appropriate "ULP" knockout from the accessory panel of the I-Line Enable Module to create one or more openings. To remove the knockout, rotate the weakened area along the knockout outline until it breaks loose and pop it out. Discard the removed tab.
- Install the RJ45/RJ45 inline coupler into the openings of the accessory panel by sliding the connector in the opening so that the stationary jaws of the coupler fit on each side of the accessory panel first, then rotate the RJ45/RJ45 inline coupler into the opening so that the flexible jaws snap into place.
- Connect the other end of the RJ45 connector of the patch cord (see step 8 above) to the RJ45/RJ45 inline coupler (see step 11 above).
- Repeat steps 4 through 12 above when installing multiple IFMs.
- After multiple IFMs have been added to the I-Line Enable Module, the final IFM in the chain should have a Modbus terminator (VW3A8306RC) installed (refer to IFM Installation for location). One terminator is supplied with every communicating I-Line Enable Module in the information packet.
- Install the necessary DIN rail mounted spacers (MG27062), that were removed in step 4, to make sure there are no gaps when the top cover is installed. Refer to Appendix B - Installation Schematics (in the I-Line Enable Instruction Bulletin) for the layout of the IFMs and spacers.
- Replace the top and side covers using the screws removed in step 3 above. Refer to Cover Removal and Cover Screws.
- The I-Line Enable Module should now be prepared with the correct number of IFMs (refer to I-Line Enable Modules Available for Expanding Communication) and ready to install into an I-Line panelboard or switchboard.
- Adjust the Modbus address of the IFMs. Refer to Adjustment of IFM Modbus Address.
- The I-Line Enable Module is now ready to be interconnected
for multiple communicating circuit breakers. Refer to Appendix A - System Communication Schematics and Appendix B - Installation Schematics for interconnection with circuit breakers.NOTE: The circuit breaker must have a Breaker Communication Module (BCM) or Breaker Status Control Module (BSCM). The circuit breaker ULP Cord is not included in the expansion kits. Refer to Appendix A - System Communication Schematics and Appendix B - Installation Schematics for interconnection with circuit breakers.
