Intelligent Modular Unit
Definition
A modular unit is a mechanical and electrical assembly containing one or more products to perform a function in a switchboard (incoming protection, motor command, and control).
The circuit breaker with its internal communicating components ( MicroLogic control unit or MicroLogic trip unit) and external ULP modules (IO module) connected to one communication interface is called an Intelligent Modular Unit (IMU).
An IMU is composed around a circuit breaker from the following ranges:
ULP Modules Per Circuit Breaker Range
The following table lists the compatible ULP modules for each range of circuit breakers.
For more information on the ULP System and its components, refer to the ULP System User Guides in Related Documents.

Remote Controller
A remote controller is a device that is able to communicate with an IMU using a communication interface, such as the IFE server. For example, FDM128 Ethernet display for eight devices, supervisor, PLC, BMS, SCADA system, and so on, are remote controllers.
