Compact NS100 to 630
There are two possibilities for the 100 to 630 A range:
b communicating auxiliaries
They replace the standard auxiliaries and connect directly to the Digipact bus.
Three equipment levels:
v communicating auxiliary contacts, comprising:
- OF (on/off), SD (trip indication) and SDE (fault-trip indication) contacts
- electronic module
- prefabricated wiring.
v communicating auxiliary contacts and motor-mechanism module, comprising:
- OF (on/off), SD (trip indication) and SDE (fault-trip indication) contacts
- motor-mechanism module (220 V AC) (1)
- electronic module
- prefabricated wiring.
v communicating carriage switches for the chassis, comprising:
- CE / CD (connected/disconnected position) contacts
- electronic module
- wiring connector.
b SC150 interface
Using the SC150 interface, it is possible to integrate a device equipped with non-
communicating auxiliaries into a supervison system.
The SC150 interface is used to connect:
v the auxiliary contacts on the circuit breaker (OF, SD, SDE, SDV, CD, CE)
v the remote-operation system (on, off, reset)
v the communication output for the STR53UE and STR43ME electronic trip units
equipped with the COM option
v an unassigned digital input.
(1) For voltages other than 220 V AC, use a standard motor-mechanism module (non-
communicating) together with an SC150 indication and control interface.

Digipact Bus Modbus Bus

Compact Compact

Devices
Circuit breakers equipped with Micrologic control units may be connected to either
a Digipact or Modbus communication bus. The information made available
depends on the type of Micrologic control unit (S, A) and on the type of
communication bus (Digipact or Modbus).
Switch-disconnectors may be connected exclusively to the Digipact communication
bus.

Communication bus
Digipact bus
The Digipact bus is the internal bus of the low-voltage switchboard in which the
Digipact communicating devices are installed (Compact with Digipact COM,
PM150, SC150, UA150, etc.). This bus must be equipped with a DC150 data
concentrator (see the Powerlogic System catalogue).
Addresses
Addressing is carried out by the DC150 data concentrator.
Number of devices
The maximum number of devices that may be connected to the Digipact bus is
calculated in terms of “communication points”. These points correspond to the
amount of traffic the bus can handle. The total number of points for the various
devices connected to a single bus must not exceed 100.
If the required devices represent more than 100 points, add a second Digipact
internal bus.
Communicating device Number of points
DC150 data concentrator 4
Micrologic + Digipact COM 4
PM150 4
SC150 4
UA150 4

Length of bus
The maximum recommended length for the Digipact internal bus is 200 meters.
Bus power source
Power is supplied by the DC150 data concentrator (24 V).

76
Modbus bus
The Modbus RS 485 (JBus) system is an open bus on which communicating
Modbus devices (Compact with Modbus COM, PM300, Sepam, Vigilohm, etc.) are
installed. All types of PLCs and microcomputers may be connected to the bus.
Addresses
The software layer of the Modbus protocol can manage up to 255 addresses (1 to 255).
The “device” communication module comprises three addresses linked to:
b circuit-breaker manager
b measurement manager
b protection manager.
The “chassis” communication module comprises one address linked to:
b the chassis manager.
The division of the system into four managers secures data exchange with the
supervision system and the circuit-breaker actuators.
The manager addresses are automatically derived from the circuit-breaker address
@xx entered via the Micrologic control unit (the default address is 47).
logic addresses
@xx Circuit-breaker manager (1 to 47)
@xx + 50 Chassis manager (51 to 97)
@xx + 200 Measurement manager (201 to 247)
@xx + 100 Protection manager (101 to 147)

Number of devices
The maximum number of devices that may be connected to the Modbus bus
depends on the type of device (Compact with Modbus COM, PM300, Sepam,
Vigilohm, etc.), the baud rate (19200 is recommended), the volume of data
exchanged and the desired response time. The RS 485 physical layer offers up to
32 connection points on the bus (1 master, 31 slaves).
A fixed device requires only one connection point (communication module on the
device).
A drawout device uses two connection points (communication modules on the
device and on the chassis).
The number must never exceed 31 fixed devices or 15 drawout devices.
Length of bus
The maximum recommended length for the Modbus bus is 1200 meters.
Bus power source
A 24 V DC power supply is required (less than 20 % ripple, insulation class II).

Communication interface
The Modbus bus may be connected to the central processing device in any of
three manners:
b direct link to a PLC. The communication interface is not required if the PLC is
equipped with a Modbus port;
b direct link to a computer. The Modbus (RS 485) / Serial port (RS 232)
communication interface is required;
b connection to a TCP/IP (Ethernet) network. The Modbus (RS 485) / TCP/IP
(Ethernet) communication interface is required.

Software
To make use of the information provided by the communicating devices, software
with a Modbus driver must be used.

Micrologic utilities
This is a set of Modbus drivers that may be used with a PC to:
b display the variables (I, U, P, E, etc.) with the RDU (Remote Display Utility)
b read/write the settings with the RSU (Remote Setting Utility)
b remotely control (ON / OFF) the device with the RCU (Remote Control Utility)
These utilities are available on request.

System Manager Software (SMS)

SMS is a power management software for the control and monitoring of LV and MV
electrical installations.
The SMS family includes a number of products for all types of applications, from
standalone systems to networked power management of multiple buildings.
SMS can communicate with all intelligent devices of the electrical installation
including:
b Power Meter and Circuit Monitor products
b LV circuit breakers and switch-disconnectors
