Diagnostics included – from contact to control system
The NZM electronic ciruit-breaker offers a comprehensive
range of on-board diagnostic functions for every stage
involved in power distribution. All important information
can be collected, displayed on-site and passed on to higher
level systems.
System transparency is enhanced and the reaction times to
critical states, e.g. over current, phase unbalance or phase
failure can be reduced. Detailed event protocols enable
quick diagnosis of fault causes. Operating hours and
switching operation counters facilitate planning of
preventative maintenance activities. Protocol functions
support the documentation of status, diagnostic messages and
parameter settings. The modularity guarantees the necessary
level of flexibility with expansion and retrofitting to
react to changing demands.
Remote monitoring – just a click away
In order to receive full transparency with all switchgear,
up to now complex programming of control and visualisation
systems was necessary. The new FDT-Navigator now enables
simple implementation of a complete service control station:
for remote switching and observation of networked
switchgear, for diagnosis of all events and maintenance
information as well as the parameterisation of all device
functions. And all functions are as easy to install as a
printer driver with no knowledge of automation required.
Fieldbus control – simply snap and couple
Complete coupling of all functions to the automation level
is now possible via PROFIBUS DP or CANopen. All status and
measurement information can be monitored and logged.
Exceeding of threshold values can be evaluated through
energy management concepts. Interfacing is particularly easy
via PROFIBUS: the data is available in a common format and
structure using the standard profile of the PROFIBUS User
Organisation. Furthermore DP-V1 functionality enables access
to all messages, diagnostics and parameter data as well as
motor starter functions.
Checked on-site – just plug in a laptop or DMI
The detailed reason for tripping or warning is reported by
the electronic release including the trip cause, the phase
status as well as the circuit-breaker settings. Ten historic
diagnostic records are saved directly in the
circuit-breaker. All data is available directly on site for
mobile diagnostics and protocol using a laptop. The DMI data
management interface is available for stationary display of
all signals, measurements, switching operations, operating
hours as well as diagnostics records with time stamp.
Direct signalling – simply snapped on from the front
Immediately
recognising critical situations is now possible: warnings at
70 %, 100 % and 120 % loading are indicated directly by the
electronic release. Critical limits of the system's capacity
are immediately recognisable on-site without additional
accessories. For display of the status and trip indication
all NZM circuit-breakers use contact elements from the RMQ-Titan®
range.
