Test the BCIM Module
Test the BCIM Module by Using Wired Communication
If the BCIM module is present, it is recommended to test circuit breaker communication.
Use the Modbus end-user client to test the communication network between the communicating devices of the project:
-
Circuit breakers connected to the Ethernet network through an IFE or EIFE Ethernet interface.
-
Circuit breakers connected to a Modbus serial line network from an IFM interface.
-
Circuit breakers connected to a Modbus serial line network through an IFM interface stacked to an IFE Ethernet server.
