iMCC

This section includes instructions for the Model 6 Intelligent MCC (iMCC).

iMCC Overview

Model 6 iMCCs feature the same overall structure and unit features as Model 6 Motor Control Centers with additional “intelligent” capabilities. Two popular methods for configuring Model 6 iMCCs to customize your application are:

  • iMCC-Hardwired I/O: PLC Interwiring

  • iMCC-Network: Network Cabling

iMCC-Hardwired I/O: PLC Interwiring

This method offers a hardwired I/O system in the Model 6 MCC that provides basic information and control capabilities. With the I/O mounted in the MCC, the starters are wired to the I/O at the Schneider Electric manufacturing plant, and the system is tested prior to shipment.

iMCC-Network: Network Cabling

A key feature of our iMCC-Network solution is the integration of intelligent devices and device level networks for control and automation that delivers improved performance. Popular network protocols such as CANopen, DeviceNet™, Ethernet, Modbus, and PROFIBUS communicate directly to every unit of the iMCC for an effective method of connecting centralized control to widely distributed I/O.

Networking allows for easy monitoring of critical data of each motor or load connected to the iMCC, enabling precise process control. With this information, your staff can respond to potential problems proactively. Real-time access to information and records of last events allows for simplified diagnostics and reduced downtime.

The network cabling consists of a solution that is appropriate for your selected communication network. Our industry-leading, full-depth wireway effectively separates network cabling from high voltage cabling. Additionally, our standard wireway barrier isolates the communication cabling from the load cabling routed in the vertical wireway.

Networks/Communications Overview

iMCCs contain Schneider Electric devices with communication ports. Each device has a unique internal register map. These devices may be linked together to a single point.

The Schneider Electric publications listed in iMCC-related Literature may be useful in the setup, maintenance, and regular operation of your Model 6 iMCC. Upon request, your Schneider Electric field sales representative can provide them to you in print. Or, you can download these documents from the Schneider Electric Download Center: se.com/us/en/download/ .

Connecting the iMCC Cabling System

Units within iMCCs are connected at the factory. The cable used varies with the network type. The pin outs for the various networks are shown in Pin Outs for iMCC Networks.

Ethernet Networks use a Cat 5e RJ45 cable for connected devices.

NOTICE
LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS
  • Do not use excessive force when making iMCC cabling connections.
  • Connections are keyed so that that pins are properly aligned.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Network Cabling

Factory supplied network cabling is installed in accordance with UL 845 procedures and practices and routed in the bottom horizontal wireway.

To make direct connections to Class 2 or Class CM systems, install Class 2 or Class CM wiring so that it is separated from power conductors either by a barrier or a minimum space of 0.25 in. (6 mm). Route power conductors in the top horizontal wireway for maximum separation.

External network cabling must comply with Class 2 or Class CM practices under the provisions of NEC Articles 725 and 800.

Cables Between Shipping Splits

Connect the trunk line cables between shipping splits by aligning the keyways and plugging the pin end of the trunk cable to the socket end of the next trunk cable. Screw the coupling ring until it is hand-tight. Repeat this process until all shipping splits are connected.

Load Cables

It is recommended to route all load cables in the top horizontal wireway to keep them isolated from the communications cabling. If you route the load cables in the bottom horizontal wireway, make sure to maintain a 0.25 in. (6 mm) distance between the communications cabling and all other cabling.

Communication Networks

There are three primary ways to connect communication networks: via bridges/repeaters, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or a direct cable connection. Follow the applicable instructions below to make the cabling connections for your Model 6 iMCC.

Bridges/Repeaters

If the PLC is not in the local area of the MCC, you typically need to use a bridge/repeater to connect the communication network.

Terminating Resistors

For the communication network to operate properly, terminating resistors are required on each end of the network. If your iMCC is shipped with a bridge, repeater, and/or PLC, external terminal blocks (MCT485) are included with shipment.

Direct Cable Connection

To connect a cable directly to the network via the iMCC network cable:

  1. Determine which end (pin or socket) of the iMCC network you will attach to your cable.

  2. Strip back the communication cabling insulation.

  3. Based on the network, use the pin outs given in Network Connection Pin Outs.

  1. Complete the maintenance procedures beginning in Maintaining the MCC and continuing up to Insulation Test. This initial maintenance is necessary to detect any shipping damage or loose connections. Do not energize the MCC until initial maintenance is complete.

    NOTE: The following maintenance procedures are not necessary before energizing the MCC for the first time: Control Unit Removal, Stab Assemblies, Starter Contacts and Barriers/Insulators.

  2. Perform an insulation test on the MCC (see Insulation Test).

  3. If the MCC is equipped with ground fault protection, properly adjust, and test the ground fault protective device before energizing.

  4. Remove all blocks or other temporary holding means from the electrical devices.

  5. Remove any secondary shunt bars from the current transformers. Do not operate a current transformer with its secondary shunt bars open circuited.

  6. Manually exercise all switches, circuit breakers, and other operator mechanisms to help ensure that they are properly aligned and operate freely.

  7. Electrically exercise all electrically-operated switches, circuit breakers, and other mechanisms (but not under load) to help ensure that the devices operate properly. This may require an auxiliary source of control power.

  8. Verify proper interval and contact operation of the timers.

  9. Verify that overload relay FLA is set to proper application setting prior to operation.

  10. Verify that all load and remote-control connections have been made and that they agree with the wiring diagrams provided.

  11. Verify that all ground connections are made properly.

  12. Install the covers and close the doors; verify that they are all properly tightened.

TeSys T Retrofit Applications

DANGER
Hazard of Electric Shock, Explosion, or Arc Flash
  • Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, NOM-029-STPS, CSA Z462, or local equivalent.
  • This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
  • Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
  • Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on power to this equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: For retrofit applications, contact your local Schneider Electric representative for assistance. Schneider Electric assumes no responsibility for the design or implementation of retrofits unless contracted to perform them. See Schneider Electric data bulletin 8998DB1004 for upgrade of the MotorLogic Plus or MotorLogic Plus II solid state overload relay to the TeSys T motor management system.

Remove the starter from the unit to replace the overload (melting alloy/bi-metallic). See Removing the Control Unit.

Use terminal blocks (OEKTTBML) for two-speed applications requiring multiple passes to achieve the proper adjustment range.

Restrain looped load cabling between the TeSys T controller and the terminal block with wire ties (or the equivalent) when terminal kits are used.

On 600 V Size 1 applications, add a third wire tie between the circuit breaker and contactor near the contactor line lugs. Refer to instruction bulletin 30072-013-29 for additional information.

Use copper wire only on device power and control terminals. Conductors must be sized for 60°C (140°F) or 75°C (167°F) National Electrical Code® (NEC®) ratings.

Pressure wire terminals are suitable for single conductor wire sizes #24–14, solid or stranded. Two conductor wire size is #24–18. Terminal instruction labels are located adjacent to the terminal block or on the wireway door.

Applications Requiring Turns

There are some applications that require more than one wiring turn through the TeSys T controller:

  • All NEMA Size 4 applications require three passes through separately mounted current transformers (CTs) rated 300:5.

  • Certain two-speed constant or variable torque applications require two passes through the TeSys T conductor (CT) windows through which the motor leads must pass before being connected to the load terminals on the contactor (T1, T2, and T3). These two-speed constant or variable torque applications are for NEMA Size 1 (3/4 HP, 480 V) and all NEMA Size 2. By allowing multiple passes (turns) of the load leads through these CT windows, protection can be provided for motors with a full-load current lower than the specified operating range. Two passes of the load leads through each window effectively increase (by a multiple of two) the current that the TeSys T senses.

  • All three conductor windows must have the same number of passes, looped in the same direction, for the TeSys T to operate properly.

  • Begin passes from the load side of the TeSys T through the CT window, and return via the windows provided between the baseplate and the TeSys T. The final pass terminates on the load side of the contactor.

  • MCC units requiring multiple passes are factory supplied pre-looped with #14 wire and interposing terminal blocks.

TeSys T Local Programming

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or Arc Flash
  • Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, NOM-029-STPS, CSA Z462 or local equivalent.
  • Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the Motor Control Center.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off. Control units must be de-energized before performing maintenance on the MCC.
  • The unit disconnect switch must be locked in the “off” position before working on equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Use Local Programming for set point programming and detected error readout purposes. Configure the TeSys T by using SoMove™ software, or an HMI (display) to set the parameters.

The Parameter Settings Sheet (included with MCC order drawings) lists all the parameters that are by the factory specific to each device application. Any settings not shown on the Parameter Settings Sheet are retained at device default values. To return the TesSys T controller to its default settings, press and hold the Test / Reset button down for 16–20 seconds.

NOTE: The TeSys T requires power for configuration.

Configuring with HMI

The HMI may be supplied either as a unit-mounted option, or as a separate, handheld programming kit containing one HMI and one 3.3 ft. (1 m) connection cable.

  1. Connect the HMI to the TeSys T unit:

    1. If supplied as a unit-mounted option, the connection is made at the factory.

      or

    2. Connect the programming kit via the standard, unit-mounted RJ-45 port.

  2. Input Full Load Current (FLC):

    1. Using the HMI, go to Menu>Protection Settings>Thermal>Thermal Overload>FLC1

      NOTE: For additional details, refer to the TeSys T LTMCUF Control Operator Unit User Manual and the TeSys T LTMR Motor Management Controller User Guide specific to your network communication protocol. (See iMCC-related Literature for the document numbers.)

Applications Requiring Turns

There are some applications that require more than one wiring turn through the TeSys Tera controller:

  • All NEMA Size 4 applications require one pass through the 3 amp Tera Sensor Module from the external current transformer (CT) secondary. CTs are rated 300:5.

  • All NEMA Size 5 applications require two passes through the 25 amp Tera Sensor Module from the external current transformer (CT) secondary. CTs are rated 300:5.

    • MCC units requiring secondary passes using an external CT are factory supplied pre-looped with #14 wire and interposing terminal blocks.

  • Certain two-speed constant or variable torque applications require two passes through the TeSys Tera conductor (CT) windows through which the motor leads must pass before being connected to the load terminals on the contactor (T1, T2, and T3). Two passes of the load leads through each window effectively increase (by a multiple of two) the current that the TeSys Tera senses. Verify that the low speed and high speed Full Load Amperages fall within Tera current sensing range.

  • All three conductor windows must have the same number of passes, looped in the same direction, for the TeSys Tera to operate properly.

  • Passes should begin from the load side of the TeSys Tera through the CT window. The final pass terminates on the load side of the contactor.

TeSys Tera Local Programming

DANGER
HAZARd of electric shock, explosion, or Arc Flash
  • Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, NOM-029-STPS, CSA Z462, or local equivalent.
  • Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the Motor Control Center.
  • Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power is off. Control units must be de-energized before performing maintenance on the MCC.
  • The unit disconnect switch must be locked in the “off” position before working on equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Local Programming can be used for set point programming and detected error readout purposes. Configure the Tesys Tera by using SoMove software, or an HMI (display) to set the parameters.

The Parameter Settings Sheet (included with the final MCC order documentation) lists all the parameters that are by the factory specific to each device application. Any settings not shown on the Parameter Settings Sheet are retained at device default values. To return the TeSys Tera controller to its default settings, press and hold the Test / Reset button down for 16–20 seconds.

NOTE: The TeSys Tera requires power for configuration.

Configuring with HMI

The HMI may be supplied either as a unit-mounted option, or as a separate, handheld programming kit containing one HMI and one 3.3 ft. (1 m) connection cable.

  1. Connect the HMI to the TeSys Tera unit:

    1. If supplied as a unit-mounted option, the connection is made at the factory.

      or

    2. Connect the programming kit via the standard, unit mounted RJ-45 port.

  2. Input Full Load Current (FLC):

    1. Using the HMI, Log into "Admin" Mode: MENU > FIRST SETUP > SYSTEM SETTING > IFLC1.

      NOTE: For additional details, refer to the TeSys Tera Motor Management Controller User Guide and the TeSys Tera LTMTCUF Control Operator Unit User Manual specific to your network communication protocol. (See iMCC-related Literature for the document numbers.)

Network Security

WARNING
POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF SYSTEM AVAILABILITY, INTEGRITY, AND CONFIDENTIALITY
  • Change default passwords to help prevent unauthorized access to device settings and information.
  • Disable unused ports/services and default accounts, where possible, to minimize pathways for malicious attacks.
  • Place networked devices behind multiple layers of cyber defenses (such as firewalls, network segmentation, and network intrusion detection and protection).
  • Use cybersecurity best practices (for example: least privilege, separation of duties) to help prevent unauthorized exposure, loss, modification of data and logs, interruption of services, or unintended operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
