3 General description
Requirements regarding transparency
and flexibility are constantly growing in
industrial applications. Modern automation
technology meets these requirements
with cross-linked components and their
communication capabilities in a range of
business levels and sectors. Control and
computer-aided solutions are no longer
the sole focus, but monitoring of individual
components and processes becomes
more and more important. This is exactly
the target application area of the intelligent
and bus-capable power distribution
system
ControlPlex
®
. It serves for the
protection of industrial applications as
well for monitoring and control. The
CPC20 bus controller is the centre piece
of the system. It analyses measuring
data, indicates error and transmits the
information to the superordinate control
systems by means of standard bus
systems. Its OPC* UA interface offers the
option of direct communication with a
company’s IT infrastructure.
The CPC20 has been designed as a
system in connection with module
18plus. It consists of a supply module for
supply of max. 80 A. Up to 16 connection
modules can be connected, each of them
accommodating one double-channel
electronic circuit protector. In the end
the user has max. 32 channels for his
protection system. When using a transfer
module, the number of channels can even
be doubled once more. Thus the CPC20
offers a maximum number of 64 channels.
Communication options comprise
transmission of the operating condition, of
measuring values and device information
regarding the connected components,
but also changes of the product-specific
parameters such as current ratings and
execution of actions, e.g. ON and OFF
operation.
Information can be transmitted in a cyclical
or non-cyclical mode to the superordinate
control system, the Ethernet interface
or via an available service interface to
the connected service computer. If no
connection is available to a superordinate
control unit, this will have no effect on
the behaviour of the connected circuit
protectors. The bus controller is able to
ensure their functionality even without a
connection to a superordinate control unit.
The saved parameters will be used for this
purpose.
The ControlPlex
®
intelligent power
distribution system offers the well-known
E-T-A quality and reliability with regard to
overcurrent protection in combination with
the innovative functionalities on the score
of automation technology.
