Target Audience
This assembly guide is primarily intended for panel builders. However, it could also be useful
for design firms or any other qualified personnel working with Smart Panels.
Objective
As panel digitalization becomes more common, there is a larger selection of connectable
products available. With a complex panel combining various connected products and
different forms of internal separation, deciding which products to use, finding space for
cabling and determining the limitations of wireless communication are common challenges.
The objective of this guide is to describe the installation and testing process of network
equipment, limiting the scope to low-voltage distribution panels (LVDP) and final distribution
switchboards for non-critical small to medium-sized buildings.
This guide starts with a short introduction to the examples which will be used as the
framework. It includes basic installation rules as well as more in-depth information on auxiliary
power supplies and low-power communication circuits.
Please always keep in mind that it is essential to comply with installation and implementation
best practices, to avoid any risk of shutdown or malfunction due to insufficient distances
between devices, temperature increases, electromagnetic compatibility or other related
issues.

Introduction to EcoStruxure
EcoStruxure Platform
As shown in the diagram below, and indicated by the green arrows, EcoStruxure Power is one of the six domains
of EcoStruxure, our IoT-enabled architecture and platform.
EcoStruxure Power plays a key role in all four End-Markets (Building, Data Center, Industry and Infrastructure).
This involves bringing the world of electrical distribution
1 to those End-Markets.

End-to-end Cybersecurity
Edge Control

Connected Products
EcoStruxure’s integrated architecture serves four End-Markets with its six domains of expertise.
The world is becoming more electric and digital, and power is becoming more distributed, more
complex to manage, and more integrated into our everyday lives. We envision a New Electric World
where building staff and occupants are safer, with zero electrical safety incidents. Where power is
OUR VISION
100% available, with zero unplanned downtime. Where energy and operations are more efficient,
OF A NEW with zero energy waste. And where operational systems are resilient, with zero cyber intrusions.
ELECTRIC
We strive to make this vision a reality with our IoT-enabled EcoStruxure architecture and platform,
WORLD
which we deliver through our connected energy management ecosystem – a collective of partners
and industry experts who are openly collaborating with us to drive innovation, enhance productivity,
reduce risk, and unlock new growth opportunities.
Introduction to EcoStruxure
• EcoStruxure Power is an open architecture and platform designed with the intention
of making it easy to add, upgrade, and swap components. The world is full of 1
electrical distribution systems in various stages of maturity, produced by a variety of
manufacturers. Interoperability with EcoStruxure Power is essential to making these
power distributions systems future ready. The added benefit of a holistic Schneider
Electric system is plug-and-play connectivity to achieve faster and lower risk integration
and commissioning.
2
• EcoStruxure Power architectures are cost-optimized to deploy, using only the right
technology to deliver the desired business outcomes for our customers – no more,
no less. However, customer needs or demands change over time.
• The EcoStruxure Power system is scalable from light commercial and industrial
buildings to critical facilities such as hospitals, data centers or infrastructure such as
airports, rail and oil and gas. The scalability of EcoStruxure Power means it also 3
grows and evolves with changing needs or demands through its modular architecture.
• EcoStruxure Power architectures are fully flexible power distribution systems with
the ability to adapt to dynamic and ever-changing conditions, such as balancing supply
and demand by the hour or minute or adding and then scaling on-site renewable
generation capabilities over time. Connecting IT and OT systems into a single,
easy-to-manage Ethernet IP network is at the heart of our digitization story.
With EcoStruxure Power, facility managers can use the data they collect to make
real-time decisions to maximize business continuity and optimize operations.
There are several ways to connect a panel, and keep in mind that only what is measured
1 can be managed. Connectivity can range from a simple I/O module to connecting multiple
sophisticated products with communication via wireless and/or wired communication.
Thus, the benefits of EcoStruxure Power will depend on how the panel is connected,
including which products are used, how the information is transferred to the two top
layers of EcoStruxure (Edge Control and Apps, Analytics and Services), and finally which
software solution is used as well as how it is set up. As an example, an Indication Auxiliary
(OF/SD) in a ComPacT NSX circuit breaker can give you the status of your circuit breaker,
2 but not information regarding recent events, energy measurements or information on the
power quality.
In this section the factory quality control is addressed. It includes commissioning utilizing
EcoStruxure Power Commission, firmware revision and communication system test. 2

Define the layout of devices in the column, depending on the constraints below:
• the entry and exit points of the customer's wires (from the top, or the bottom of
the column or other specific configuration) and the position of the main busbars
in order to have the shortest possible connections,
• the routing of prefabricated wires or connections at the input and output of the
switchboard,
• the space required for the device to work correctly (volume of device, safety 2
perimeter, connection pads, radius of curvature of wires, control units, etc.),
Table 6 in • the accessibility of the various control units and connection zones (side, rear,
IEC 61439-1 etc.) of devices,
• heat dissipation of devices that contributes to increasing the internal temperature
of the column,
• the mutual thermal and electromagnetic influence between the main busbars and 3
the devices,
• the maintenance or upgrade of the system (for example, enable the opening of
the motorized control of a circuit breaker).
The resulting layout of the switchgear should also be studied to optimize connection
zones, busbars, enclosure sizes, etc.

Communication Architecture
General Information Regarding Communication Architectures
It is common to have several different protocols present in a Smart Panel. In some cases, there are both wired and
wireless alternatives, while in other cases there is only one solution.
For wireless communication inside a panel, IEEE802.15.4 (for example ZigBee) is used. The signal is concentrated
1 in a gateway which can communicate to a software solution, either wirelessly (e.g. Wi-Fi) or wired (e.g. Modbus
TCP/IP).
For wired communication, there is a wide range of protocols. This guide focuses on products that use ULP,
Modbus RTU (also known as Modbus SL or Modbus Serial) and/or Modbus TCP/IP. ULP can be converted to
Modbus RTU using an IFM, and to Modbus TCP/IP using an IFE/EIFE, while Modbus RTU can be converted to
2 Modbus TCP/IP using an IFE.
For projects where communication is to be added in a preexisting panel, it is generally easier to use wireless
3 solutions, as these solutions require less space, and result in less cabling.
The ULP (Universal Logic Plug) system can be used to construct an electrical distribution solution which
integrates metering, communication, and operating assistance functions for circuit breakers, including ComPacT
NSX, ComPacT NS, MasterPacT NT/NW and MasterPacT MTZ. It can be used to transform circuit breakers into
metering and supervision devices. 1
Other ULP system features can be included using:
• An Ethernet communication link for access and remote monitoring with the IFE interface or EIFE interface
(MasterPacT MTZ drawout circuit breakers only).
• Web access to monitor and control the circuit breaker connected to an IFE interface or EIFE interface
(MasterPacT MTZ drawout circuit breakers only). 2
• An input/output application with an I/O module. This benefits from the extended capability of the I/O module
to monitor and control the position of the drawout circuit breakers in the cradle, circuit breaker operation, and
custom application, etc.
• Test, setup, and maintenance functions with EcoStruxure Power Commission through an IFM or IFE.
• A Modbus RTU communication link for access and remote monitoring with the IFM interface.
• Local display of measurements and operating assistance data with the FDM121. 3
Note:
The ULP system in the switchboard should be designed in accordance with the recommendations of the ULP System User
Guide (ref. DOCA0093EN), considering the compatibility of the hardware and firmware of the ULP modules, the ULP
system connection and power supply rules and the architectures recommended by Schneider Electric.
Note:
This guide describes MasterPacT MTZ and ComPacT NSX connection to the ULP Bus. For other circuit breakers, please
refer to the ULP System User Guide (ref. DOCA0093EN).
For unused RJ45 ULP ports, use a ULP line termination (TRV00880). Without this, it could affect the quality of the
communication.
[Link]
[Link]
Note:
With an architecture comprising an EIFE interface connected to a ULP port module, the ULP port module marks the end of
the ULP line.
Moreover, on MasterPacT MTZ drawout circuit breakers with optional EIFE interface, the ULP port module:
• Powers the EIFE interface,
3 • Connects the EIFE interface to the other ULP modules (e.g. I/O module).

To obtain more data from a ComPacT NSX Circuit Breaker than just the circuit breaker status (Closed, Open,
Tripped), the trip unit needs to be the MicroLogic 5, 6 or 7. This needs to be combined with a BSCM (Breaker
1 Status Command Module) and an NSX Cord. The insulated ComPacT NSX Cord is mandatory for system voltages
greater than 480 V AC.
The NSX Cord can then be connected to an IFM, an IFE or directly to an FDM121. It can also be connected to an
IFM which is connected to an IFE. This solution can save space in the panel by stacking several IFM modules (up
to 8 recommended) to 1 IFE.
2 The ComPacT NSX ULP system receives a 24 V DC power supply via the IFM or IFE.
ULP Connection
For more details on all the configurations, consult the ULP System User Guide (ref. DOCA0093EN) or the
ComPacT NSX user manual (ref. DOCA0187EN).

The IFM is a Modbus interface module. It is required for connection of
MasterPacT or ComPacT circuit breakers to a Modbus Serial Line network. Once
connected, the circuit breaker is considered as a server (slave) by the Modbus 1
client (master).
Modbus Addresses
Modbus addresses should be set with the two rotary switches (X1 and X10
symbols). The X10 symbol refers to the tens and the X1 symbol to the units.

The IFE is an Ethernet interface module. It provides an Ethernet
access to one or several MasterPacT or ComPacT circuit breakers.
1 The gateway version incorporates a Modbus gateway. In this case,
the IFE is the network Modbus client (master) and the IFMs are
the server (slave). Their addresses are configured using rotary
selectors as explained above. Thanks to this stacking system, the
Modbus addresses become the only Modbus settings requiring
configuration: the serial line settings are automatically detected by

Current standards define three Surge Protection Device (SPD) categories for low-voltage electrical installations:
Type 1: capable of carrying a high lightning current, generally from the earth to the energy distribution network. It
is installed in the main switchboard if the building is equipped with a lightning rod.
1 Type 2: a surge protection device designed to carry the currents generated by indirect lightning strikes and
causing overvoltage induced or conducted in the energy distribution network. It is installed in the main distribution
switchboard.
Type 3: a surge protection device installed in addition to Type 2 and designed to reduce overvoltage on the
terminals of sensitive devices. Its current-carrying capacity is limited, so it cannot be used alone.

Recommendation: In Smart Panels, Surge > Example
Protection devices are highly recommended
[Link]
With direct lightning to electrical distribution
or indirectly via trees, the ground or buildings
generates a surge with a high level of energy which
can have consequences if Surge Protection is not
installed in Smart Panels. 2
Surges are hardly observable and transient but
they have multiple consequences on electronic
equipment and installations.
In many cases, surges cause malfunctions and
damage: such as operation stop, loss of data or
interruption of manufacturing processes. It can be
3
difficult to investigate the causes.
2
What are the Consequences if Surge Protection is not Installed in Smart
Panels?
• Surges that can damage electronic components, and even vaporize conductors.
• Superposition of noise on analog signals that generates false indications (e.g.
wrong temperature)
• Possibility of data loss or change in saved data
• Lower transmission speed due to repetitions
• System reset, etc.
3
Which Devices are Sensitive to Electrical Surges? > Example
Smart Panel devices have an integrated Metal Oxide
Varistor (MOV) for surge protection.
This only protects against industrial surges and
cannot withstand atmospheric surges.

Installation in a “Convenient Place or a Free

Equipment installation should be designed
according to installation rules: the cable length
must be less than 50 cm.
Standard IEC 60364 recommends the following
cable cross-sections at the installation head:
2
• 4 mm² (Cu) for Type 2 surge protection device < 50 cm
connections.
• 16 mm² (Cu) for Type 1 surge protection
device connections.
3
> 50 cm
3
Minimizing the Impact of Magnetic Fields
The incoming feeder phase, neutral and protection (PE) conductors should run
alongside one another to reduce the loop surface. The incoming conductors
of the SPD should be remote from the protected outgoing conductors to avoid
polluting them by coupling. The cables should be pinned against the metallic
parts of the enclosure (if any) in order to minimize the surface of the frame loop,
and hence benefit from a shielding effect against EM disturbances. [Link]

WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
In the case of a mix of brands of the Surge Protection Device and back-up protection, the coordination
of the association must be tested and validated in a laboratory.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
To avoid doing any tests, use coordinated SPD and back-up protection:
see page 56 for more information.
ULP Generalities
ULP (Universal Logic Plug) System
The 24 V DC power supply of the ULP system must be SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) to provide insulation
coordination (IEC 60664-1 and IEC 61204-7) and distribute a SELV along the entire length of the ULP connections.
The 24 V DC power supply must be connected at the primary end to a low-voltage distribution zone, with an
overvoltage category which is less than or equal to that of the 24 V DC power supply:
• Power supplies in overvoltage category IV can be connected directly to the busbar system of a main low-voltage 1
distribution board. Schneider Electric MicroLogic Power Supplies are overvoltage category IV.
• Power supplies in an overvoltage category lower than IV cannot be connected directly to the busbar system of a
main low-voltage distribution board. A minimum of one circuit isolation transformer is therefore needed between
the busbar system of a main low-voltage distribution board and a control circuit that can be connected to the
primary of the 24 V DC power supply. Schneider Electric ABL power supplies are overvoltage category II (III for
ABLM). 2
The 24 V DC SELV power supply of the ULP system can be used to power other devices, provided that they have
double insulation, or reinforced insulation, to retain the SELV nature of the power supply. These devices must not
connect either the 0 V or the 24 V DC to the local machine ground or the protective ground.
The ULP modules have built-in current protection of 3 A, with Isc = 20 A. The 24 V DC external power supply
should be able to protect the ULP module with Isc limited to maximum 20 A. 3
It is recommended to use star topology to limit EMC disturbances. The connection between the power supply and
the terminal block (+/-) should be as short as possible. In case of a serial topology, connect the last device to the
power supply with an additional cable.
Some devices can be powered directly via one of the two ULP RJ45 ports on an IFE/IFM or the I/O modules. But
only one device can be powered through the ULP cord. This device must be at the end of the ULP line. This is
only possible for the following devices:
• FDM121 display.
• BSCM module and MicroLogic trip unit for ComPacT NSX circuit breakers.
• BCM ULP module for MasterPacT NT/NW and ComPacT NS circuit breakers.
All IFE and I/O modules (two I/O modules maximum on the same ULP bus) shall have a direct connection with the
power supply and cannot be powered by ULP.
The same 24 V DC external power supply can be used for the micrologic control unit and the communication
devices (IFE, IFM, I/O, FDM) or programmable contacts (M2C, ESM). But a separate 24 V DC power supply must
be used to supply the MN/MX/XF voltage releases or the MCH gear motor.
It is highly recommended that each panel (1 panel can have several columns) has its own 24 V DC to supply
MicroLogic and ULP systems. For EMC reasons, this 24 V DC shall not go out of the panel.
[Link]
IFE server and it is not necessary to supply them separately.
• If IFM interfaces are stacked without an IFE server, only one
1 of the IFM interfaces must be supplied with 24 V DC.
• A single IFM interface must be supplied with 24 V DC.
It is recommended not to exceed 8 Modbus servers for one
Modbus client. This will help ensure a better response time
(IFE). To optimize the communication system, stack the IFMs
on the IFEs (for enhanced performance and behavior in
2 terms of EMC). For TRV00210 only, the 0 V terminal on IFM
interfaces shall be connected to ground at only one point on
the Modbus line (first stacked IFM interface or at the Modbus
client if IFM interfaces are not stacked with an IFE server).
No other devices, including IFM LV434000, must have 0 V
connected to ground.
3 Modbus devices connected to a Modbus IFM interface must
have a floating Modbus 0 V. This Modbus 0 V must not be
wired to any other 0 V connection points, such as the one on
the power supply.

Recommendations for 24 V DC Wiring to Reduce Electromagnetic Interference
• The input and output wires of the 24 V DC power supply must be physically separated as much as possible.
• Do not connect the positive terminal to earth.
• Do not connect the negative terminal to earth.
• The maximum length for each conductor (+/-) is 10 meters.
1 • For connection distances greater than 10 meters, the plus and minus conductors of the 24 V DC supply must be
twisted to improve EMC.
• The 24 V DC conductors must cross the power cables perpendicularly. If this is difficult or impossible, the plus
and minus conductors must be twisted.
• Power supply conductors must be cut to length. Do not loop excess conductor.
2 24 V DC Power Supply
The voltage range of the auxiliary power supply shall be 24 V DC +/- 10%. The overvoltage category (OVC) of the
24 V power supply should be compatible with the installation network connection point.
In a noisy environment, we recommend using the MicroLogic Power Supply, due to its low stray primary
secondary capacitance, in order to help ensure optimal operation of the MicroLogic control unit.

To help ensure screen continuity, it is
recommended to avoid using the connector
pins and “pig tails” (very poor efficiency at high
frequency).
Connect the cable screens directly on the metal
plate:

• to divert disturbances directly to earth
(outside the products).

Particular Rules for Modbus RTU (1/3)
Related
Good Practice
Standard
1
1
The Modbus RTU protocol (a.k.a. Modbus SL) is based on a Client-Server
(Master-Slave) concept.
In the standard Modbus system, all the devices are connected to a 3-wire main
cable.
Two wires form a balanced twisted pair, on which bi-directional data are
transmitted.
The Modbus topology is a main cable with devices connected directly (daisy
2
chaining) or by short derivation cables.
The main cable, a.k.a. “Bus”, should be connected at its two extremities with Line
Terminations.
Generally speaking, the sum of all the derivation lengths should be lower than
the length of the bus. 3
The “Common” circuit should be connected directly to protective ground,
preferably at one point only for the entire bus. In general, this point is chosen
either on the client device or on the polarization device.
A Modbus Serial Cable should be shielded. The shield should be connected to
protective ground at both ends.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in unauthorized or unintended access to sensitive or
secure customer data.
NOTICE
NETWORK INOPERABILITY
Do not make unauthorized changes in the network configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in an unstable or unusable network.
Project Creation
EcoStruxure Power Commission allows you to create a project using device discovery. Device discovery enables
you to discover the devices in the network and add them to your project.
Connect your laptop to the local Ethernet network of the Smart Panels and click the “EcoStruxure Panel Server
and other gateways” button. This enables you to connect to one or more panel servers/gateways and set up
communicating devices under them for remote monitoring and control.

EcoStruxure Power Commission offers two different displays for the electrical installation:
• Switchboard view: shows the electrical topology of the installation.
• Communication view: shows the communication network architecture.
This can be used on the final inspection report for the electrical panel, to show that the communication settings
1 are compliant.
This test report feature is available without an Internet connection. From your project, click on the “TEST” tab
and select “Communication”. Finally, run the test and, if required, generate the report to save it locally to your
computer.
