ULP Modules

ULP Modules

ULP modules can be grouped in categories:

IFE Ethernet Interface for One Circuit Breaker

The IFE Ethernet interface for one circuit breaker provides an Ethernet access to a single intelligent modular unit using a ComPacT, PowerPacT or MasterPacT circuit breaker.

Each circuit breaker has its own IFE interface and a corresponding IP address.

NOTE: The IFE interface with part number LV434001 replaces the IFE interface with part number LV434010. The IFE interface LV434001 comes with the real time clock (RTC) feature and allows ULP connections up to 20 m (65.6 ft). The part number LV434010 had a theoretical limitation of 5 m (16.4 ft) over the life of the IFE interface.

IFE Ethernet Switchboard Server

The IFE Ethernet switchboard server provides an Ethernet access to one or several intelligent modular units using ComPacT, PowerPacT, or MasterPacT circuit breakers.

It supports the following communication architectures:

  • One single circuit breaker connected to the IFE server.

  • Up to 11 circuit breakers that can be connected:

    • Through IFM Modbus-SL interfaces that are stacked to the IFE server.

    • Through Modbus SL hubs that are stacked to the IFE server (ComPacT NSX and PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breakers only).

NOTE: The IFE server with part number LV434002 replaces the IFE server with part number LV434011. The IFE server LV434002 comes with the real time clock (RTC) feature and allows ULP connections up to 20 m (65.6 ft). The part number LV434011 had a theoretical limitation of 5 m (16.4 ft) over the life of the IFE server.

IFM Modbus-SL Interface for One Circuit Breaker

The IFM Modbus-SL interface provides access to a Modbus serial line communication network for a single intelligent modular unit using a ComPacT, PowerPacT, or MasterPacT circuit breaker.

NOTE: The IFM interface with part number LV434000 replaces the IFM interface with part number TRV00210 or STRV00210. The specific features of IFM interface with part number TRV00210 or STRV00210, including rules for ULP connection and power supply, are detailed in the appendix B.

IO Input/Output Application Module for One Circuit Breaker

The IO input/output application module for one circuit breaker is one of the components of the ULP architecture.

The IO application module enhances control and monitoring functions of a single intelligent modular unit with a ComPacT, PowerPacT, or MasterPacT circuit breaker, thanks to its built-in applications. Its resources are:

  • Six digital inputs: self-powered inputs, used as NO and NC dry contact or pulse counter.

  • Three digital outputs: bistable relay (5 A maximum).

FDM121 Front Display Module for One Circuit Breaker

The FDM121 front display module for one circuit breaker shows the measurements, alarms, and operating assistance data from a single intelligent modular unit with a ComPacT, PowerPacT, or MasterPacT circuit breaker.

Service Interface

The Service Interface is a portable instrument designed for field testing.

The Service Interface is used for:

  • Configuration of Enerlin'X devices

  • Testing and configuration of MicroLogic trip units mounted in the following low voltage circuit breakers:

    • MasterPacT NT/NW circuit breakers

    • EasyPact MVS circuit breakers

    • ComPacT NS circuit breakers

    • PowerPacT P- and R-frame circuit breakers

    • ComPacT NSX circuit breakers

    • PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breakers

NOTE: The Service Interface cannot be connected to a MasterPacT MTZ circuit breaker.

USB Maintenance Interface

The USB maintenance interface or UTA tester is used to set up, test, and maintain a single intelligent modular unit with a ComPacT NSX or a PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breaker and the associated ULP modules.

NOTE: The USB maintenance interface is discontinued. It cannot be connected to a MasterPacT MTZ or NT/NW, a ComPacT NS or a PowerPacT P- and R-frame circuit breaker.

RJ45 ULP Ports

NOTICE
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
  • Never connect an Ethernet device, a Modbus-SL device, or a Modbus line termination to an RJ45 ULP port.
  • The RJ45 ULP ports are for ULP modules only.
  • Any other use can damage the ULP module or the device connected to the ULP module.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

ULP modules have RJ45 ports, identified by one of the following pictograms:

or .

Generally, each ULP module has two identical RJ45 ports in parallel to connect the IMU ULP modules in a daisy chain, in any order, by using RJ45 plug/plug ULP cords.

Updating the Firmware in ULP Modules

The user can update the firmware of a ULP module by using the latest version of EcoStruxure Power Commission software.

The compatibility matrix embedded in EcoStruxure Power Commission software helps the user to perform diagnostics and correct the firmware discrepancy issues between the ULP modules by providing recommended actions and diagnostics messages relevant to the detected discrepancies.

NOTE: The following firmware cannot be updated using EcoStruxure Power Commission software:
  • The firmware of the BSCM circuit breaker status control module with part number LV434205 or S434205.

  • The firmware of the MicroLogic trip units and control units, MasterPacT NT/NW, ComPacT NS and PowerPacT P- and R-frame circuit breakers.
