Features

Use the ULP system to enhance the functions of ComPacT NSX, PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame, ComPacT NS, PowerPacT P- and R-frame, MasterPacT NT/NW, and MasterPacT MTZ circuit breakers by:

• An Ethernet communication link for access and remote monitoring with the IFE communication interface or EIFE interface (MasterPacT MTZ drawout circuit breakers only).

• Web access to monitor and control the circuit breaker connected to an IFE communication interface or EIFE interface (MasterPacT MTZ circuit breakers only).

• An input/output application with an IO module. It benefits from the extended capability of the IO module to monitor and control position of drawout circuit breakers in the cradle, circuit breaker operation, and custom application, and so on.

• Test, setup, and maintenance functions with EcoStruxure Power Commission software.

• A Modbus-SL communication link for access and remote monitoring:

  • With the IFM communication interface.

  • With the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module and the Modbus SL hub (for ComPacT NSX and PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breakers only).

• Local display of measurements and operating assistance data with the FDM121 display.

The ULP system lets the circuit breakers become a metering and supervision tool to assist energy efficiency and can:

• Optimize energy consumption by zone or by application, according to the load peaks or priority zones.

• Improve electrical equipment management.

Intelligent Modular Unit (IMU)

A modular unit is a mechanical and electrical assembly containing one or more products to perform a function in electrical equipment (incoming protection, motor command and control). The modular units are easily installed in the electrical equipment.

The circuit breaker with its internal communicating components (for example, MicroLogic™ trip unit) and external ULP modules (for example, IO module) connected to one communication interface (IFE, EIFE, IFM, or BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module depending on the circuit breaker type) is called an intelligent modular unit or IMU.

Examples of IMU with ComPacT NSX or PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-Frame Circuit Breaker

Example 1: IMU composed of a fixed ComPacT NSX or PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breaker connected to a BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module, an FDM121 display and an IO module.

Example 2: IMU composed of a ComPacT NSX or PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breaker connected to one IO module and an IFE communication interface.

Example 3: IMU composed of a withdrawable ComPacT NSX or PowerPacT H-, J-, and L-frame circuit breaker with a BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module connected to an FDM121 display and an IFM communication interface.

NOTE: It is recommended to use the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module in ULP only mode for withdrawable and plug-in circuit breakers.

Examples of IMU with MasterPacT NT/NW Circuit Breaker

Example 1: IMU composed of a fixed, electrically-operated MasterPacT NT circuit breaker connected to an IFM communication interface and an FDM121 display.

Example 2: IMU composed of a drawout MasterPacT NT circuit breaker connected to one IO module for cradle management and an IFE communication interface.

Examples of IMU with MasterPacT MTZ Circuit Breaker

Example 1: IMU composed of a MasterPacT MTZ fixed circuit breaker connected to one IO module and an IFE communication interface.

Example 2: IMU composed of a MasterPacT MTZ drawout circuit breaker connected to an EIFE interface and one IO module.
