Siemens ACCESS Communications System
B. SB Breaker ACCESS Communications (with or
without Zone Interlocking)
1. Standard type ‘TL’ switch-based trip unit
Components Required:
• Siemens type MTZ – one per 8 trip units
• Siemens type EPSB expansion plug – one per trip unit,
factory wired
• Siemens type MTCSB cable – one per trip unit
Inst
allation:
1. When the factory-installed ACCESS communications option
is present, the EPSB expansion plug is already wired to the
breaker and secondary control terminals. Connect an
MTCSB cable’s spade lugs to the appropriate SB breaker’s
secondary terminals (LB9, 10, 11, & 12) then to one of eight
communication inputs on the MTA.
2. If ZSI functionality is additionally required, per the site’s
coordination study, configure the expansion plug’s DIP
switches for Short Time and/or Ground Fault ZSI per the
expansion plug’s Information and Instruction Sheet. Config-
ure the MTA to identify the zones for each breaker, per the
site’s coordination study and the MTA’s instruction sheet.
3. If multiple MT’s are used, the “Com” terminal from the first
MT’s “SEABus Out” port must
be connected to the “Com”
terminal of the next MT’s “SEABus In” port on each MT
being used.
4. If ZSI is not required, set the expansion plug’s DIP switches
to NO ZONE (0000), the MTA’s De
vice Configuration DIP
switches to NO ZONE (00) and the De
vice Type MTA’s D IP
switch to MCCB/ICCB (0001).
5. Connect RS-485 twisted pair communication cable to the
MTA’s A(+) and B(-) terminals. Connect only
one end of the
cable’s shield to the MT’s GND terminal. Configure the
ACCESS system network, per Installing the ACCESS Sys-
tem manual. An Isolated Multidrop Converter may be
installed as an option. See figure 1 for system connection
diagram.
2. SB-EC Trip unit
Since the SB-EC Trip Unit has direct communications with an
ACCESS network, no intermediate devices are required unless
ZSI functionality is required.
If ZSI is required, connect as per above using an MTA if type
‘TL’ SB breaker trip units or Sensitrip MCCB trip units are part
of the overall system and both ACCESS communications and
ZSI are required.
Any application requiring only ZSI requires an MTZ configured
as above.
If multiple MT’s are used for ZSI functionality, the “Com” ter-
minal from the first MT’s “SEABus Out” port must
be con-
nected to the “Com” terminal of the next MT’s “SEABus In”
port on each MT bing used.
As referenced in the SB-EC Trip Unit Information and Instruc-
tion Manual, the trip unit’s ACCESS communication lines are
located on the breakers secondary control terminals <LB5> to
RS485(+), <LB6> to RS-485(-), and <LB7> to Shield/Common.
Refer to figure 1 for system connection diagram.
Summary
The following table summarizes the required
Component
Types per each trip unit in the system. One component per
trip unit unless otherwise otherwise noted:
Component Selection Guide
Notes:
1. It is recommended that for long, single-ended runs (over 1000 ft.),
that a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt terminating resistor between the Data+ and
Data- terminals of the furthest devices be added. Adding a terminator
resistor is not an absolute requirement, but using it will minimize re-
flected interference on the communication bus.
2. Both loop and straight RS-485 topologies are acceptable. The advan-
tage of the straight topology is further distance to the last device
(4000 ft.) The advantage to the loop topology is that the devices will
continue to communicate even with a break in the line. The disadvan-
tage of the loop topology is the distance to the furthest device is only
2000 ft.
3. A Siemens Isolated Multi-Drop Converter (Cat. No. 18-658-852-537)
may be used as an optional device used to convert four (4) RS-485
communications loops to one (1) RS-232 port for host PC communi-
cations.
4. Protocol converters are available from the Siemens ACCESS group to
provide plug-and-play capability with over 25 different PLC protocols
(Siemens S7, Modbus, etc.), Profibus, DeviceNet, and LonWorks.
5. If multiple MT’s are used for ZSI applications, the “Com” terminal
from the first MT’s “SEABus Out” port must be connected to the
“Com” terminal of the next MT’s “SEABus In” port on each MT being
used.
6. Installed ICCB SB breakers without communication capability may be
field upgraded by Siemens Field Service personnel only. MCCB
breakers may be field upgraded by Siemens Field Service or the end
user.
7. Refer to Installing the ACCESS System Installation Guide (Manual
SG-6028-01) for proper system shield and grounding connections
schemes.
Note: Refer to the MT and EPSB installation instructions included with
each device for additional information.
