Communication-capable Circuit Breakers

The MODBUS COM16 Module and the BSS

WL Circuit Breaker

The COM16 module enables the WL Circuit Breaker to exchange data via MODBUS to supervisory systems and MODBUS masters. The COM16 module retrieves some of the key data on the status of the circuit breaker (circuit breaker open/closed, closing spring charged, ready-to- close, etc.) via the CubicleBUS from the BSS (breaker status sensor). Both modules are, therefore, offered together as

a MODBUS communication package.

MODBUS Module COM16

The COM16 module for the WL enables the circuit breaker to be connected to any MODBUS master network. This makes it easy to add WL and a COM16 to existing MODBUS networks.

If required, control/write access to the circuit breaker can be locked using hardware and software to prevent any switching operations

taking place via MODBUS (manual or automatic operation) or parameters from being changed.

All key events are assigned a time stamp from the integrated clock to enable operators to keep track of alarms. This device clock can be synchronized with the clock in the automation system.

A temperature sensor integrated in the COM16 module measures the temperature surrounding the breaker in the switchgear cubicle.

Three integrated microswitches located in the COM16 module are used to detect the position of the circuit breaker (connect, test, disconnect and not present) and communicate via MODBUS. The circuit breaker can be remotely operated only in the test or connect position.

Pin Configuration

The COM16 module is connected to the auxiliary conductor plug-in system at X7.

The electrical connections to the circuit breaker and the CubicleBUS connection to the internal CubicleBUS modules (ETU, BSS, metering function, etc.) are defined in Section 9 of the Operator's Manual and the individual instruction sheets.

Interposing relays must be used if the opening and closing solenoids are designed for voltages other than 24V DC.

Terminals X9.1 and X9.2 must be used if the second shunt trip rather than the first shunt trip is used to open the circuit breaker via communication.

The unassigned user output can be used as required and must be connected in the same way as a coupling device (see Graphic 2-4). It can be used, for example, to reset the trip indicator if the remote reset option has been installed. As with Open and Close, only voltages of up to 24V DC are permitted (note the polarity); coupling devices must be used for higher voltages.

The communications line is connected to the 9-pin interface on the front of the COM16 module. The CubicleBUS connection for a RJ45 plug is located at the rear and is used to connect the external CubicleBUS modules. If no external CubicleBUS module is connected, the terminating resistor supplied must be used as an RJ45 plug.

The unassigned user input can be connected using a contact element with the 24V DC from pin 1 to transmit the status of the contact element.

Graphic 2-2The text on the COM16 module shows the external pin configuration for connecting the closing solenoid and the shunt trips, as well as the MODBUS write protection function and the unassigned input/output.
