OPC UA server

Data connectivity

OPC UA, Unified Architecture, is a protocol for

information exchange for industrial communica

tion. This means that OPC UA is a standardized

vendor-independent Ethernet protocol, scalable

for a lean data access between a client and server.

OPC UA is widely adopted in many different

industries like automotive, food and beverage,

utilities and infrastructure.

OPC UA fulfills the requirements of IoT and

Industry 4.0. Security is established based on

certificates. AC500 V3 supports the OPC UA

services “Data access”, “User management” and

“Alarm and conditions”.

MQTT

Cloud connectivity

MQTT is a TCP/IP messaging protocol mainly

used for lightweight messaging to the cloud.

In the environment of MQTT, edge devices like

controllers act as clients and communicate with

a broker situated in the cloud.

They publish data based on events using topics.

Other clients like SCADA systems or monitoring

applications can subscribe to these topics and

receive data as they arrive. This enables the easy

and low-bandwidth connection of many devices.

AC500 V3 uses TLS encryption to establish secure

communication.

Secure connectivity

Remote units

AC500 works as edge-gateway and is directly

connected to the cloud. Security is established

through TLS encryption.

• No additional gateway required

• Low latency

Application:

Small systems with non-critical data transfer.

Network security

Connection of the whole AC500 network to the

cloud using a separate gateway. Enhanced

security is provided through additional firewall

and/or VPN.

• Advanced level of security

• Easy integration of many edge devices

Application:

Large systems with many devices which need

higher protection.

Function

Measuring principle

The measuring principle is based on the voltage drop across the PT100 sensor,

which is approximately proportional to the change in resistance.

The temperature monitoring relay converts the resistance value to the corresponding threshold value.

Mode of operation

The sensors to be monitored are connected to terminals T1.

T2 and T3 according to the wiring diagrams for 2-wire and 3-wire sensors.

Depending on the setting, the device operates according to the open-circuit principle h

– Measured values fall below or exceed the thresholds Measured values fall below or exceed the

thresholds:

Relay energized or closed-circuit principle g

– Measured value below or above threshold: relay de-energized. Relay energized.

All operating states are indicated by the LEDs on the front.

Easy to install

Clear indication of device status via LEDs

Easily adjusted using a rotating wheel

Push-in terminals

Features

System voltage monitoring up to 1500 V DC and 1100 V AC

System leakage capacitance monitoring up to 3000 μF

Versatile system monitoring for 2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire and battery systems

Easily configurable wire break detection

Easily configurable non-volatile fault storage

Isolated systems are often used when an extremely reliable power supply must be guaranteed, such as in

emergency lighting systems.

Since the energy released in the event of an earth fault is not sufficient to trigger a circuit breaker

or a residual current circuit breaker, different protective devices must be used in the earthbound system.

Insulation monitors continuously determine the insulation resistance to earth and signal if a threshold

value is exceeded.

Insulation monitoring relays are the only technical solution for detecting earth faults in unearthed

systems.

Display:

– Ensures intuitive and quick setup with the help of a symbol-based menu structure.

Configuration files for various applications are also available.

Each parameter can also be modified individually and stored as a user profile for future re-use.

– Permanent display of the device status and all currently measured temperatures.

Detailed diagnostic information helps to quickly identify problems.

-Provides a wide range of operating parameter calculations, helping to reduce maintenance costs.

Uses symbols rather than text throughout the menu structure.

Near Field Communication (NFC)

Each device in the Smart Monitoring Relay series has a built-in NFC antenna, which makes it possible to

use the ABB’s EPiC mobile smartphone app allows the device to be parameterized via NFC.

To read or write data, the smartphone needs to touch the surface of the CM-TCN.

The connection is only active when data is being transferred.

In contrast to Bluetooth, there is no continuous communication between NFC and the device.

ABB EPiC Smartphone App EpiC, or “Electrification Product Intuitive Configurator”, is a mobile application

that allows configuration and checking the status of ABB low voltage products.

The app is free and can be downloaded on Android and iOS. Registration is required to use it.
