SYSTEM DESCRIPTION All of the trip units described in this bulletin provide adjustable tripping
functions for circuit breakers, including long-time and instantaneous
adjustments for overloads and short circuits. There are two types of trip units:
Type A, which provides basic trip features and ammeter measurements, and
Type P, which provides basic and advanced features and power/energy
measurements.
Type A and P trip units are self-powered by the circuit they protect, or they
can be powered by an external 24-Vdc control power supply. The external
power supply is recommended to ensure that metering and communication
continue, even if the circuit breaker is opened or tripped.
Drawout circuit breakers may include an optional cradle communication
module (CCM) that provides information about the position of the circuit
breaker in the cradle. This module automatically assigns correct
communications parameters to the circuit breaker when it’s racked into the
test or connected positions.
Trip Unit System Modules The MICROLOGIC trip unit system consists of three separate commun-
icating modules (plus a fourth optional module), described below. Each
module has an independent function. Together, they are viewed as a single
device from both the human-machine interface (HMI) and SMS. This
simplifies data reporting, recording, alarming, and general user interface.
The trip unit system includes:
• Trip Unit Protection Module (PM)—circuit protection feature of the trip
unit; the main function of the trip unit is the adjustable tripping function, so
the PM has priority over the other three modules. The PM can meter
current to 20 times the sensor plug (In). For example, for a 400 A sensor
plug, the PM can meter current up to 8,000 A.
• Trip Unit Metering Module (MM)—metering feature of the trip unit
provides true rms-metered data for energy management, and event
detection. The MM can record data up to 1.5 times the sensor plug. For
example, for a 400 A sensor plug, the MM can record data up to 600 A.
• MODBUS Breaker Communication Module (BCM)—required module for
communication between the trip unit and a MODBUS communication
network; the BCM acts as a communication gateway between the external
MODBUS network protocol and a peer-to-peer protocol used within the trip
unit system. The BCM provides circuit breaker status information—open,
closed, tripped, spring charged, spring discharged, ready to close, and
mechanism unlatched.

Network Communication MICROLOGIC trip units communicate via RS-485 MODBUS RTU protocol.
This protocol provides serial communications using either 2-wire or 4-wire
connections at speeds up to 19.2k baud. You can connect up to 32 devices
on a single daisy chain, at distances up to 10,000 feet (3,050 meters).
The trip unit connects to the POWERLOGIC system through one of three
standard communication methods:
• Serial (RS-485 MODBUS RTU), using an MCI-101 converter kit
• Ethernet (MODBUS TCP), using a CM4000 with Ethernet Communication
Card (ECC)
• Ethernet (MMS), using a POWERLOGIC Ethernet Gateway
Figures 2, 3, and 4 illustrate simple systems using each of these four
communication types. Other architectures are possible; contact your local
sales office for assistance.

Hardware Setup Checklist Before you add the MICROLOGIC trip unit to SMS, be sure that you have
completed all of the required hardware setup steps:
1. Be sure that all equipment shipping splits are connected.
2. Confirm that an external 24-Vdc power supply is connected to the BCM
(and CCM, if present).
3. Confirm that a second external 24-Vdc power supply is connected to the
trip unit, if it is not to be self-powered.
NOTE: If the trip unit is externally powered, the power supply for the BCM
must be separate from the one used by the trip unit. If you have a CCM,
it can share the BCM’s power supply.
4. Rack the breaker to the Test or Connected position.
5. Confirm that the trip unit has control power (the display will be powered).
6. Set the device address, baud rate, and parity from the HMI.
Setting Type A Communications Parameters For the Type A trip unit, follow these steps:
a. From the default Current menu, simultaneously press and hold both
menu
and until the Communications Address menu displays. The
display will read Ad47.
b. To set the device address, press and release repeatedly until the
correct address displays. Address range = 01 through 47
(default = 47 ). On a mixed-mode daisy chain, avoid giving address 16
to MODBUS / Jbus devices, and avoid giving address 01 to
POWERLOGIC devices.
c. When the correct address displays, hold down until the display
begins to flash, then release. The baud rate menu displays
(default = b 19.2).
d. To set the baud rate, press and release repeatedly until the
correct rate displays. Baud rate range = 1,200 to 19,200.
e. When the correct baud rate displays, hold down until the display
begins to flash, then release. The parity menu displays (the default =
P E for even parity).
f. To set the parity, press and release repeatedly until the correct
parity displays. Possible entries are E or n (even or none)
g. When the correct parity displays, hold down until the display
begins to flash, then release. After several seconds, the trip unit
automatically returns to the Current menu.
Setting Type P Communications Parameters For the Type P trip unit, follow these steps:
a. From the default Main menu (providing real-time current display),
press ; the Setup menu displays.
b. Press or to select Com Setup. Press ( ); the Commun-
ication Setup menu displays with Com. parameters selected.
c. Press to open the Com. parameters window. The MODBUS Com
window displays with the Address selected (default = 47 ).
d. Press to highlight the address. Press or to change the
address to the one that the trip unit will use. Press to enter the
change. On a mixed-mode daisy chain, avoid giving address 16 to
MODBUS / Jbus devices, and avoid giving address 01 to
POWERLOGIC devices.
e. Press or to select Baud Rate (default = 19.2k).
f. Press to highlight the baud rate.
g. Press or to change the baud rate to the one that the trip
system modules will use.
h. Press to enter the change.
i. Press to select Parity (default = Even).
j. Press to highlight the parity.
k. Press or to change the parity to the one that the trip unit
will use (even or none).
l. Press to enter the change.
m. Press to leave the menu. The prompt “Do you want to save new
settings?” displays.
n. Press to select Yes. Press to save all of the changes that
you’ve made.
o. Press to return to the default Main menu.
7. Press the Address sync push button on the CCM (adjacent to the green
LED marked “Comm”). This causes the CCM to read the communications
setup (for this circuit breaker location) from the BCM.
8. Connect the trip system (trip unit, CCM, BCM) to the MODBUS network.
INSTALLATION AND DEVICE SETUP If you encounter problems with any instructions in this section, refer to
IN SMS “Troubleshooting” on page 26 for troubleshooting help.
Installing the Software When you nstall the SMS V 3.2 upgrade, you also install the MICROLOGIC
device type software. To do this, follow the instructions in the System
Manager Software Setup Guide.
Once SMS V 3.2 is installed, you’ll need to add and set up the MICROLOGIC
trip units. See “Adding and Setting Up Trip Units,” below.
If you have any questions, contact your local sales representative. For the
address and telephone number for technical support in your country, see the
Product Registration and Technical Support Contacts sheet; a PDF copy of
this document is contained on the SMS installation CD.
Adding and Setting Up Trip Units After the software is installed, you’ll need to add and set up the MICROLOGIC
trip unit(s) in your SMS system.Iinstructions for adding and setting up devices
are in the SMS online help file. See the Quick Starts for step-by-step
instructions, which are organized by communication connection type.
The tasks you’ll need to complete are listed below.
1. Add and set up a serial connection in SMS.
2. Add the device.
3. Add the device address (sometimes called device route). This address
must match the address you assigned to the device at the HMI. This step
requires that you plan your addressing in advance.
When you add a MODBUS device in SMS, you add one address or route,
which SMS uses to communicate with that device. For the MICROLOGIC
trip unit, you add the address that you entered at the trip unit HMI; SMS
creates the additional device addresses that are required for the rest of
the trip unit system:
• BCM (breaker communication module)—the BCM address is set at the
trip unit HMI
• PM (trip unit protection module)—the system adds 100 to the BCM
address
• MM (trip unit metering module)—the system adds 200 to the BCM
address
• CCM (cradle communication module)—installed only if you are using a
drawout circuit breaker : the system adds 50 to the BCM address
NOTE: When entering a MICROLOGIC device in SMS, using an Ethernet
Gateway connection, the device ID should match the address of the BCM
(the address entered at the trip unit HMI).
4. After you add the address, SMS displays a dialog asking you whether you
have a CCM in your trip unit system. If the trip unit system includes a
CCM, check the box.
Figure 5 illustrates how these addresses are determined, when the trip unit
is installed in a drawout circuit breaker.

In this example, you might give the trip unit address #1. This step assigns address #1 to the
breaker communication module (BCM). SMS will automatically assign these addresses for the trip uni
#51 to the crade communication module (CCM)
#101 to the trip unit protection module (PM)
#201 to the trip unit meter module (MM)
You only assign the first address to the Ethernet Gateway; do not assign the remaining trip unit m
When adding the MICROLOGIC trip unit to an SMS system, you must plan for
the additional addresses of the trip unit system. For example, when com-
municating via an Ethernet Gateway, be sure that other devices are not
assigned an address that will be automatically assigned to part of the trip
unit system.
The benefit of having the four addresses is that SMS polls the individual parts
of the trip unit system separately. Should an event occur to one part of the
trip unit system, the remaining parts will continue to function and deliver data
to SMS. For example, when the circuit breaker is racked out, the BCM and
trip unit modules cannot communicate, but the CCM continues to provide
circuit breaker position information.
The multiple addresses also help you when you’re troubleshooting problems
in the trip unit system.
VIEWING REAL-TIME INFORMATION Once you have added the trip unit to your system, you can view real-time
IN SMS data in SMS as you would for any other POWERLOGIC system compatible
device. See the SMS online help file for information about displaying bar
charts, meters, tables, and function tables for devices within SMS.
Custom Quantities
In addition to these standard quantities, SMS gives you the option of setting
up additional quantities, called custom quantities. To use these custom
quantities, you must identify them by specifying their location (register
number). When you define custom quantities and assign them to the
device type, you are adding to the database of quantities available for that
device type.
For instructions on adding and assigning custom quantities, see the SMS
online help file.
USING SMS ALARMS Global alarms are automatically assigned when the trip unit is added to SMS.
However, you can add custom alarms to SMS. The process of setting up
alarms includes these steps:
• creating global analog or digital functions that are to be used to monitor
power system conditions. When you define an analog or digital function,
you select a quantity, then define the conditions (or setpoints) under which
SMS generates the alarm. You also determine the severity of the alarm,
for example, whether the alarm will annunciate (give visual or audible
indication from within SMS) and whether a user must acknowledge it.
• assigning the function to a specific device within the SMS system.
Because you might not want the same alarms for each trip unit, you can
specify the alarms for each one.
Alarm Levels SMS uses a feature called Alarm Severity to determine the level of an alarm
and the information that the alarm provides. There are ten levels of alarm,
0 through 9. Although MICROLOGIC alarms and levels are pre-assigned,
you can change the level (severity) of any alarm. However, keep in mind
that changes to a level will change the amount of information that you will
receive when the alarm becomes active.The following table lists the default
alarm severity levels and their characteristics:
Pre-assigned PC-based Alarms and Events The MICROLOGIC trip unit includes automatically assigned alarms.
However, you can unassign or modify any pre-assigned alarm for a specific
device. Table 2 describes these pre-assigned alarms. Unless otherwise
indicated in the Remarks column, all alarms operate for both Type A and
Type P trip units.
Type P Pre-assigned On-board Alarms Table 3 lists on-board alarms for Type P trip units. To enable them and to
enter pickup and dropout setpoints, you must use the HMI. See the trip unit
instruction bulletin for instructions.
The settings and present status of each alarm can be viewed in the
MICROLOGIC Protection Settings table. See “Appendix C—SMS Table
Support” on page 36 for a list of tables included in SMS. See the SMS online
file for help viewing tables.
Pre-assigned Task—Resetting the The clock reset is the only pre-assigned task for a device reset. For more
Device Clock information about the automatic device clock reset, see “Device Resets” on
page 14. For instructions on using tasks to perform resets, see the SMS
online help file.
USING CONTROL OUTPUTS SMS uses control outputs to provide remote manual control of devices. For
example, you can use SMS as an interface to open or close a circuit breaker
via a serial, MODBUS, or Ethernet communications network.
Table 4 lists the predefined MICROLOGIC control outputs used in SMS.
Remote control (Auto/Manual) must be enabled from the trip unit HMI for any
output to be controlled from SMS.
If remote control (Auto/Manual) is disabled from the trip unit HMI, the attempt
to operate the control from SMS will not work. You will see this message:
“Control Output Failed!”
The solution is to enable the remote control from the trip unit HMI.
DEVICE RESETS The device reset feature allows you to reset certain data entries for a device.
Use this feature to reset data for a device or group of devices. Reset options
vary, depending on the device type. You can perform a reset manually or as
a scheduled task. Resets are logged in the SMS Activity Log.
Table 5 lists the resets that SMS supports for the Type A and Type P trip
units:
METERING CAPABILITIES The MICROLOGIC Trip Unit system (Types A and P) provides real-time
readings, demand readings, and energy readings. Each reading type is
discussed fully in the following paragraphs.
Real-Time Metering All MICROLOGIC trip units measure currents and report rms values for all
three phases, including neutral/ground current. In addition to these values,
the Type P trip unit measures voltage and calculates power factor, real
power, reactive power, and more. Table 6 lists the real-time readings and
shows which parameters are available.
Min/Max Values The trip unit stores minimum and maximum (min/max) values for all real-time
readings in nonvolatile memory.
Using SMS, you can:
• view all min/max values
• reset all min/max values
For instructions on using SMS software to view, save, and reset min/max
data, refer to the SMS online help file.
Power Factor Min/Max Conventions Running min/max values, with the exception of power factor, are arithmetic
minimums and maximums. For example, the minimum phase A–B voltage is
simply the lowest value in the range 0 to 1200V that has occurred since the
min/max values were last reset. In contrast, because a power factor meter’s
midpoint is unity (illustrated in Figure 6), power factor min/max values are not
true arithmetic minimums and maximums. Instead, the minimum value
represents the measurement closest to –0 (most lagging) on a continuous
scale of –0 to 1.00 to +0. The maximum value is the measurement closest to
+0 (most leading) on the same scale.
See “Advanced Topics” on page 21 for information about changing sign
conventions.
Figure 6 shows the power factor min/max values in a typical environment,
assuming a positive power flow. In Figure 6, the minimum power factor is –
0.70 (lagging) and the maximum is +0.80 (leading). It is important to note that
the maximum power factor need not be leading. For example, if the power
factor values ranged from –0.75 (lagging) to –0.95 (lagging), then the
minimum power factor would be –0.75 (lagging) and the maximum power
factor would be –0.95 (lagging). Likewise, if the power factor ranged from
+0.90 to +0.95, the minimum would be +0.95 (leading) and the maximum
would be +0.90 (leading).
Figure 7 shows a sign convention chart for the default IEEE sign convention.

Demand Readings The Type P trip unit provides a variety of demand readings, including
coincident readings and predicted demands. Table 7 lists the available
demand readings.
Demand Power and Current To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the Type P trip unit
Calculation Methods provides the following types of demand power calculations:
• sliding demand
• block interval demand
Predicted Demand The Type P trip unit calculates predicted demand for kW, kVAR, and kVA.
The predicted demand is calculated by extrapolating the present value of
demand to the end of the interval. This calculation method responds very
quickly and provides an excellent approximation of the actual demand at the
end of the interval. The predicted demand values are updated every 15
seconds.
Figure 8 shows how a change in load can affect predicted demand.

Change in Load
Peak Demands The Type P trip unit maintains, in nonvolatile memory, a running maximum—
called peak demand—for each demand current and demand power value. It
also stores the date and time of each peak demand. In addition to the peak
demand, the trip unit stores the coinciding average (demand) 3-phase power
factor. The average 3-phase power factor is defined as “demand kW /
demand kVA” for the demand interval.
Peak demand values can be reset over the communications link using SMS.
Energy Readings The Type P trip unit provides total accumulated energy values for kWh,
kVARh, and kVAh. The trip unit also calculates and stores in nonvolatile
memory accumulated values for real energy (kWh) and reactive energy
(kVARh) both into and out of the load. These values can be displayed on the
trip unit, or read over the communications link.
The Type P trip unit can accumulate energy values in one of two modes:
signed or absolute (unsigned). In signed mode, the trip unit considers the
direction of power flow, allowing the accumulated energy magnitude to both
increase and decrease. In absolute mode, the trip unit accumulates energy
as positive, regardless of the direction of power flow; in other words, the
energy value increases, even during reverse power flow. The default
accumulation mode is absolute.
Changing the VAR and Power Factor The trip unit offers two reactive power (VAR) sign conventions and three
Sign Convention power factor sign conventions. The trip unit allows three combinations of the
VAR sign convention and the power factor (PF) sign convention.

Changing VAR and PF sign conventions from the trip unit HMI
For the Type P trip unit, you can change the VAR/PF sign conventions from
the trip unit HMI. Follow these instructions:
1. From the default Main menu of a Type P trip unit, press ( ); the Setup
menu displays.
2. Press or to select Metering Setup.
3. Press ; the Metering Setup menu displays.
4. Press or to select Sign convention.
5. Press to display the Sign Convention window (default = IEEE).
6. To change the default, press or until the correct convention
displays. Selections are IEEE, IEC, and Alternate (CM2).
7. Press then press to set the desired convention. The prompt “Do
you want to save new settings?” displays.
8. Press to select Yes. Press to save the change that you’ve
made.
9. Press to return to the default Main menu.
Time Synchronization The MICROLOGIC trip unit system modules rely on external sources to set
and synchronize their internal clocks.
If either the SMS Alarm Log or the Trip Unit Alarm Log displays a date that is
25 years earlier than the correct date, the trip unit has lost, and then
regained, power. You do not need to take any action; SMS will reset the
date/time the next time it communicates with the trip unit.
Bit 15 of the Month/Day register for the trip unit (register 9001), BCM (register
679), and CCM (register 679) indicates that the date/time has not been set in
the module since it was last powered. To clear this bit, use one of the
following methods:
BCM and Trip Unit:
Use the MODBUS network (SMS Resets or a MODBUS master device) or the
trip unit HMI.
CCM:
Use the MODBUS network (SMS Resets or a MODBUS master device).
Instructions for using each method follow.
Write the following values to the CCM via the MODBUS network (CCM
address is equal to the BCM address plus 50; example: BCM address = 1,
CCM address = 51).
TROUBLESHOOTING If the trip unit is not communicating with SMS, follow the list below to ensure
that the equipment is properly installed and configured.
1. If the trip unit and BCM are communicating in SMS, but the CCM is not
communicating, it’s likely that you didn’t press the Address sync push
button when you set up the hardware. See “Hardware Setup Checklist”
on page 5 for complete instructions.
2. View the position indicator on the front panel of the circuit breaker to
ensure that the circuit breaker is in the test or connected position.
3. Referring to the drawings included with the equipment, confirm that all
equipment shipping splits are connected.
4. Confirm that 24-Vdc power sources are connected for the CCM, BCM,
and trip unit. Follow these procedures:
• View the LEDs on the CCM (see steps 7 and 8 in this list for an
explanation of LED combinations)
• measure the voltage on the “Comms” secondary on terminals E1 and E2
• examine the trip unit display
5. Examine the communications cabling at the CCM and circuit breaker
secondaries; make sure the communications wires are correctly
connected (see Figure 14 on page 38 for wire color coding).
6. Check the address, baud rate, and parity of the trip unit at the HMI, in
SMS, and, if applicable, in the Ethernet Gateway. Make sure that you’ve
assigned the same settings in each place.
7. View the LEDs on the CCM to be sure there is MODBUS activity on the
network and at the device. The options are:
No LEDs:
24-Vdc control power not present.
One solid green LED:
24-Vdc control power is present, but there is no traffic on the MODBUS network.
One solid red LED:
CCM has failed its self test.
One solid green LED with short voids:
CCM is receiving good MODBUS packets.
One solid green LED with short red flashes:
CCM is receiving MODBUS packets with errors.
Red and green LEDs flash intermittently:
In a mixed-mode system (POWERLOGIC and MODBUS / Jbus devices), this
is normal.
8. After pressing the “Address sync” push button on the CCM, or after
racking a circuit breaker into Test position, the red and green LEDs will
blink simultaneously while the system attempts to synchronize
communications parameters. This could take up to ten seconds.
Then, the LEDs will indicate the success or failure of the process.
Possible status indications are:
Three flashes of the green LED, followed by a quick flash of the red LED:
Communications information was successfully transferred.
Three flashes of the red LED:
An error occurred in transferring communications information.
9. When a control output does not operate, consider the following causes:
• non-communicating shunt trip and close coils
• remote control is not enabled (must be done from the HMI)
• the circuit breaker is tripped
• when attempting to close, remote close is not enabled
• when attempting to open, remote open is not enabled
10. If you see error 4608 in the SMS Alarm Log, one or more sub-devices are
not communicating.
The alarm information in the Alarm Log displays the trip unit device and
the words “Communication Loss.”
In this example, the error 401 entries show that communication was lost
with the trip unit and the BCM.
APPENDIX A—STANDARD QUANTITIES This is an abbreviated list of standard quantities that you can use in DDE for
spreadsheets and drawings, for setting up reports, and for creating custom
tables. For a complete list of registers, contact your local sales represen-
tative. The quantities are listed in alphabetical order according to the SMS
topic name. Table 11 lists the quantities for the Type A trip unit. Table 12 on
page 29 lists the quantities for the Type P trip unit.
APPENDIX B—MICROLOGIC TRIP UNIT Table 13 shows the most common error codes that occur for the
ERROR CODES MICROLOGIC Trip Unit in SMS. The error code number (but not the
description) displays in the SMS Activity Log.
The sample Activity Log in Figure 13 illusrates an error 4500 condition. Note
that both the trip unit and BCM have lost communication.

1 The number of devices shown applies to daisy chains that include
POWERLOGIC devices that are wired as 2-wire devices. If the daisy
chain contains only true 2-wire devices (and therefore no
POWERLOGIC devices) refer to the device manufacturer’s
instruction book for device number and distance limitations.
NOTE: To wire 4-wire devices as 2-wire, connect the Rx+ and Tx+ terminals
together, then connect the Rx- and the Tx- terminals together. The Rx+/Tx+
terminals connect to the Lx+ line, and the Rx-/Tx- terminals connect to the
Lx- line. Refer to the device’s instruction manual for device pinouts and other
communications specifications.
