Ethernet has become the universal link between electrical equipment, computers and communicating devices inside buildings. The large amount of information which can be transferred makes the connection of the Enerlin'X Breaker Digital System to cloud-hosted and web-based services of Schneider Electric a reality.

MicroLogic X control units and interfaces offers multiple communication channels:

• Connection to an Ethernet network through either an EIFE or an IFE interface module. The EIFE and IFE modules are connected to the MicroLogic X control unit by means of a ULP port and a prefabricated ULP cord. The EIFE is dedicated to drawout circuit breakers.

• Connection to a Modbus SL (RTU) RS 485 bus is through an IFM interface module. The IFM module is connected to the MicroLogic X control unit by means of a ULP port and a prefabricated ULP cord.

• Communication with a smartphone via a wireless powered Bluetooth channel or a self-powered NFC channel.

• Communication with a PC via a USB port.

• Connection to Internet-based servers or cloud platform. The connection to Internet can be performed through a Com'X module connected to internal Ethernet network. In addition MicroLogic X offers a wireless proprietary connectivity interface for communication with a Com'X module.

To improve the capabilities of monitoring and control, one or two IO modules connected to the ULP bus can be associated to IFE, EIFE, and IFM modules.

The EIFE is designed to monitor the three positions of the drawout circuit breaker when inserted in its cradle:

• Circuit breaker racked IN (CE contact).

• Circuit breaker racked OUT (CD contact).

• Circuit breaker in test position (CT contact).

• No additional IO module is required to monitor these three positions.

The connection of an FDM128 display unit on the Ethernet internal bus is possible for any configuration.

• Control orders:

  • MX diag&com shunt trip opening order

MicroLogic X control units can be incorporated in Enerlin'X digital system using EIFE and IFE interface modules. Enerlin’X provides a simple and reliable link to local LCD displays and expert applications over Ethernet.

It makes available on Ethernet most of the information collected in the circuit breakers and other electrical devices installed in a low voltage electrical equipment: Status, measurements, counters and alarms etc.

System Security

Operational security is important for electrical installations when it comes to local and remote interaction. Confidentiality, integrity and availability (also known as the AIC triangle) is a model designed to guide policies for information security within an organization and these elements are considered as the three crucial components of security.

In this context, confidentiality is provided by rules that limit access to information (equivalent to privacy), integrity means the information is trustworthy and accurate, and availability means there is access to the information by authorized people.

Bluetooth Smart Connectivity

MicroLogic X control units are equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 Smart wireless communication which allows a connection with a smartphone equipped with the same technology. Bluetooth Smart complies with the IEEE 802.15.1 standard.

NFC Connectivity

MicroLogic X control units are equipped with near field communication (NFC), which allows data exchange with a smartphone equipped with the same technology and follow the standard ISO/IEC 15693-3.

Proprietary Connectivity

MicroLogic X control unit are equipped with a proprietary connectivity means based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard which allows a connection with a Com'X module.

ULP Connectivity

ULP is a fast communication link dedicated to circuit breaker monitoring and control. It connects the circuit breaker to an Ethernet interface or an IO module. ULP operates at a speed of 1 Mb/s and is plug & play.

Ethernet Connectivity

Ethernet is a data link and physical layer protocol complying with the IEEE 802.3 standard. It operates at a speed of 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. The maximum length of Ethernet cable between two devices is 100 m (328 ft.).

IFE and EIFE Ethernet interfaces can be connected to a PC, a laptop or a PLC over Ethernet.

The IFE Ethernet switchboard server provides a Modbus TCP/IP gateway over Ethernet to enable Modbus TCP communication from a Modbus TCP master to any Modbus slave devices connected to it. The maximum active Modbus TCP client connection is twelve.

IFE and EIFE Ethernet interfaces have an embedded web server (web page).

Modbus Connectivity

Modbus SL (RTU) is a communication protocol widely used in industrial networks. It operates according to a “primary-secondary” mode, where the secondary communicates one at a time with the primary. This is an RS 485 open bus on which communicating Modbus devices are connected. All types of PLCs and microcomputers may be connected on to the bus.

The maximum number of devices that may be connected to a bus depends on the type of devices, the baud rate (19200 is recommended), the volume of data exchanged, and the expected response time. The RS 485 physical layer offers up to 32 connection points on the bus (1 master, 31 slaves).

Maximum recommended length for Modbus SL (RTU) bus is 1200 m (3940 ft.).

Plug and play commissioning tools provide added value to system builders as their panels can be functionally checked before delivery.

EcoStruxure Power Commission Software allows:

• Setting up and testing electrical equipment.

• Installing digital modules.

• Reduced commissioning time and sped-up factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT).

ULP Wiring system

The wiring system is designed for low-voltage power electrical equipment. Installation requires no tools or special skills.

The prefabricated wiring supports both data transmission and power supply for the communications modules associated with MicroLogic X control units.

ULP System

ULP system is a fast communication link dedicated to circuit breaker monitoring and control.

It is well adapted to severe environments.

A choice of cables with different lengths is provided for the connection of the ULP port to EIFE, IFE or IO modules.

EIFE / IFE Interfaces

EIFE / IFE interfaces provide an IP address to any circuit breaker fitted with an ULP port.

The EIFE / IFE interfaces make all available data from the circuit breaker accessible from an Ethernet compatible display (FDM128), a PC with common browser, or a Modbus TCP/IP client.

EIFE / IFE interfaces generate their own web pages.

IO Application Module

The IO module is dedicated to circuit breakers with a ULP link.

It may maintain:

• Control of the circuit breaker.

• Control of applications around the circuit breaker such as the cooling system, load control, lighting, and pulse metering acquisition.

Note: For every MasterPacT MTZ circuit breaker the 24 Vdc supply of all the associated interface modules (ULP port, IFE, IFM, IO) must be delivered from the same 24 Vdc power supply.

In MasterPacT MTZ circuit breakers, an internal communication protocol (ULP port) is embedded in the MicroLogic X control unit (a BCM module is not needed), as well as the microswitch contacts necessary to obtain circuit breaker status information (OF, SDE, PF, CH).

MicroLogic X control units measurement capabilities come into full play with the FDM128 display unit. It connects to Ethernet communication via RJ45 port and displays MicroLogic X control unit information.
