Function Module Concept
MNS iS motor control center solution delivers all the functions for control, protection and monitoring of the motors and motor starters using software and hardware modules for the specific tasks. Right information is provided to the right people at the right time.
Hardware modules are designed to fulfil desired tasks (power module containing electrical parts e.g. to isolate power, control module containing software applications etc. to control a motor).
System functions are provided as functional modules to be downloaded to the control module. Only required functions may be downloaded while others are available as options. System functionality may be enhanced at any time without the requirement for additional hardware or wiring.
Time synchronization with a Time Server in the plant or locally in the switchboard allows accurate time stamps of alarms and events collected in the control module.
Module and location supervision are available as a standard. These functions ensure the corresponding power and control modules are installed to the correct location for the particular motor application.
Maintenance functions are an integral part of the system. Asset Monitors measuring of system performance data (e.g. outgoing line temperature, numbers of switching cycles) allows to schedule maintenance activities only if they are really required.
The flexibility of the system allows modifications by a simple Plug and Produce concept. Ex-changing the modules or changing the parameter settings is easily achieved by using system inherent functions and tools.

Switchboard Construction
MNS iS as part of the ABB Low Voltage Switchgear solution uses the well proven ABB MNS standard design aspects. MNS aspects described in this section are fully applicable to MNS iS. MNS system is a type-tested switchgear assembly (TTA) in accordance with IEC60439-1 and IEC61641. The consistent application of the modular principle both in electrical and mechanical design as well as the use of standardized components allows its flexible and compact design. Depending on operating and environmental conditions different design levels are offered.
Notable system advantages with regard to design aspects: Compact, space-saving design Easy project and detail engineering
through standardised components Fully Type Tested including Internal Arc
Fault Earthquake-, vibration- and shock-proof
designs are available Easy conversion without the need for
switchgear de-energizing Maintenance-free busbar construction High operational reliability and availability Optimum personal protection
Functional separation
The switchboard is divided into vertical and hori-zontal compartments thus separating different func-tional areas.
As a standard power cabling and control wiring are strictly separated within MNS iS, the switch-board is structured as follows:
1. Equipment compartment All equipment, including the standard motor starter modules (MStart) in withdrawable design, is situated therein. The compartment can be divided in horizontal and vertical sub compartments. 2. Control cable compartment Contains the smart motor control devices (MControl), control cables and terminals. 3. Power cable compartment Contains power cables and connection units. 4. Busbar compartment Contains the MNS main busbar system and distribution bars. The distribution bars are embedded in the Multifunction Separation Wall (MFW) which is located between the Equipment compartment and the Busbar compartment
System Highlights Functional areas are separated from each other in accordance with IEC 60439-1. Power cables are fully separated from the control cables, thus avoiding electromagnetic interferences. Different access rights to cable compartments can be granted using different key locks.

MMNNSS iiSS DDeessiiggnn AAssppeeccttss Switchboard Arrangements
MNS cubicles can be arranged as follows: in stan-dard execution (back-to-wall), back-to-back or duplex.
Frame Construction
Basic elements of the MNS frame construction are C shaped steel profiles with a 25 mm (=1E) hole distance according to DIN 43660. Each cubicle is precision constructed by bolting horizontal and vertical profiles together, to form a rigid modular structure. The assembly is maintenance free as a result of the construction method utilizing thread-locking screws and a bolted pressure plate design. The profiles are galvanic protected (Zn or AL/Zn) against corrosion.
Enclosure
MNS switchboard enclosure is made of sheet steel protected by galvanic coating and powder coating for maximum durability. The construction of the enclosure (doors, roof plates, rear walls) varies in dependence from the degree of protection. In accordance with the general safety philosophy followed with MNS, each compartment and sub-compartment which requires access for commis-sioning, operation or maintenance, has its own door.
Standard (Back-to-wall) Back-to-back
Duplex (common busbar compartment)

MMNNSS iiSS DDeessiiggnn AAssppeeccttss
Cable Compartments
Access to smart components such as electronic protection relays on standard switchgears is usually not possible if the module is energized. As an outstanding attribute MNS iS switchgear provides separate compartments, one for power cables on the right hand and another for control cables on the left hand. The two cable compart-ments can be provided with different key locks in order to assure specific access rights.
MNS iS motor/feeder cables are housed in their own power cable compartment completely isol-ated from any control equipment or wiring. The cubicle arrangements are configured suitable for front cable access. The power cable compartment can be provided with cable entry from the top or bottom of the cubicle.
The control cables have their own control cable compartment completely segregated from the power compartment. This control compartment also houses the smart motor control units MControl and other associa-ted control equipment. The control wiring can enter from the top or bottom as required for the project.
ABB MNS iS System Guide Rev.03 April, 2006 1100
MMNNSS iiSS DDeessiiggnn AAssppeeccttss Busbar Systems
Main Busbars
The MNS main busbar system is arranged in the rear of the switchboard. This assures a maximum distance from the busbars to the operator and maintenance staff. The main busbar system is fully separated from the equipment compartment as well as the cable compartments.
The busbar system is a maintenance free construction with regard to all kinds of inter-connections including those completed on site. Screw connections are treated with securing varnish. No additional connection plates are necessary.
The copper busbars can optionally be protected using galvanic coating Ag/Sn and/or insulated using shrink-ing tube.
More about: Busbar Ratings
Technical Data, page 39
System Highlights: The location of the main busbars at the rear provides maximum safety to personnel Isolating materials are free of CFC and halogens A full size neutral can be provided. Arc protection: Active and passive arc fault prevention is tested according to IEC 61641.
MNS design will prevent an arc from occurring (first priority), however in cases arc faults do occur the fault is limited and contained within its own compartment.
ABB MNS iS System Guide Rev.03 April, 2006 1111
MMNNSS iiSS DDeessiiggnn AAssppeeccttss
Protective Earth and Neutral Bars
In standard protective earth and neutral bars run horizontally in the front of the switchboard just above the base. They are fastened to the frame to assure electrical continuity. Inside the cable compartment they run vertically.
In case 50% or 100% neutral size is required due to unbalance or harmonic distortion, the neutral conductor will preferably be arranged in the rear of the cubicle running in parallel with the main busbars.
Distribution Bars
A fully phase segregated and insulated 3 or 4 pole distribution bar system runs the full height of the cubicle. Distribution bars are silver plated as standard, optionally avaiable coated with tin. The multifunction separation wall (MFW) embedding the distribution bars is a unique ABB design. It constitutes a complete barrier between the main busbars and the equipment compart-ment. Distribution bars are fully phase segre-gated and insulated. This design makes it virtually impossible for an arc to pass between distribution bar phases or between main busbars and equipment compartment. The insulation material is CFC and halogen free, flame-retardant and self-extinguishing.
Main contact openings are finger proof (IP 20) so that personal safety is guaranteed even when modules are removed. With the help of specific contact housings full single phase segregation is assured before the main contacts engage with the distribution bars.
System Highlights: The Multifunction separation wall is a well proven ABB standard design Type tests have confirmed that an eventual arc is isolated and limited to the compartment
where it occurs. Isolating materials are free of CFC and halogens.
ABB MNS iS System Guide Rev.03 April, 2006 1122
MMNNSS iiSS DDeessiiggnn AAssppeeccttss MNS iS Withdrawable Modules MStart
The withdrawable design of MStart provides a maximum of plant and operator safety. As per definition in IEC 60439-1 withdrawable modules can be electrically disconnected (withdrawn) without the help of a specific tool. This is applicable to the main incoming circuit, the main outgoing circuit as well as the auxiliary circuits.
MStart are standardized components, ready-to-use and offered for a wide range of motor starter ranges and applications leading to maximum flexibility. The high device packing density allows a comparatively low footprint of the MCC.
Available options for the selection of MStart modules are: Starter types:
Non-reversing Direct Online (NR-DOL) Reversing Direct Online (REV-DOL) Heavy Duty (HD) Star-Delta (NR-S/D) * Contactor Feeder (CF)
Rated voltages: 400V, 500V, 690V Short circuit protection device (SCPD):

* Planned for Release V2.0 Main characteristics Multi-functional operating handle connecting
to module interlocking mechanism Ergonomic module handle to withdraw the
module Motor status display (4 LED) integrated in
module front Module rear wall with integrated contact
system and sensors Control terminal block
MStart comprises the power circuit and measure-ment functionality. It is therefore decoupled from smart control. Smart control, protection and monitoring function-ality is taken over by the allocated MControl located in the control cable compartment.

Module Connection to Distribution Bars
A condaptor unit facilitates the horizontal distribution of power from the vertical distribution bars for 6E/4 and 6E/2 modules. The condaptor enables the modules to be located adjacently within the same horizontal position of the cubicle.
Modules of size 6E and above are connected directly to the vertical distribution bars.
ABB MNS iS System Guide Rev.03 April, 2006 1144
MMNNSS iiSS DDeessiiggnn AAssppeeccttss Power Contact Connection to the distribution bars is achieved using the precision-engineered MNS power contacts.
The contact has been subjected to several tests in order to prove the sophisticated design and the high quality:
The contact type 101 is characterized by a turn-able bearing, thus decoupling cable and contact. Consequently any occurring bending forces can-not affect the stability of the contact. The mechanical stabilisation is taken over by the supporting plate whereas the contact fingers ensure positive electrical contact. Contact fingers are silver plated, optionally tin plated.

Contact type 101 Cable sections up to 70 mm
Small module contact Cable sections up to 10 mm
System Highlights: Although IEC 60439-1 requires 50 connection cycles only, the MNS contact system is tested, certified
and proven for contact cycles (plug in / unplug) up to 1,000 The contacts are galvanic coated (Ag standard, Sn on request)

ABB MNS iS System Guide Rev.03 April, 2006 1166
MMNNSS iiSS UUsseerr IInntteerrffaaccee Communication
The communication between MLink and the MControl devices internally is a RS485 peer-to-peer communication (max 10MBps ) with a de-terministic Master-Slave Real-time protocol. Up to 60 MControl devices can be connected to one MLink. The wiring between all MControl and MLink is inbuilt inside the switchboard, no addi-tional wiring is required.
Multiple MLinks can communicate via fieldbus to the control systems. The MLink acts as a standard fieldbus slave device in Master-Slave communication protocols. MLink contains time server / client functionality as an option to provide accurate time signal to all MControl. The time stamp of alarm and events is distributed to higher level Process Control System.
Fieldbus Protocols MLink provides connection and data filters for communication of essential information to higher-level systems. The communication is based on standard fieldbus protocols such as Modbus RTU and PROFIBUS DP.

MMNNSS iiSS UUsseerr IInntteerrffaaccee System Wide Aspects
Time Synchronization Plant wide accurate status reporting may require MNS iS to be synchronized to ensure MControl device times are the same across the whole plant. In MNS iS the communication interface MLink acts as a Time Server for the MControl connected to it. This enables MNS iS to provide time stamped messages via MLink and OPC Server.
MLink receives the accurate time from a Time Server residing in the switchgear control network. Alternatively one MLink can be configured to act as a Time Server. With the standard network time protocol (SNTP) the time is sent to all other devices connected to the same network. Time stamped messages are not sent through fieldbus interfaces in MNS iS.
Option 1 Option 2 A Time Server exists in the switchgear network. Its time signal is received from all MLink and distributed internally. 3rd party products allow the connectivity to a GPS Receiver for highly accurate time synchronization plant wide.
If no Time Server is available, one MLink is configured as Time Server. The time signal is sent to all MLink on the switchgear network and pro-cessed accordingly.
GPS Global Positioning System The satellite Global Positioning System (GPS) distributes precise time, frequency and position worldwide. At a height of about 20,000 km satellites circle around the earth on different orbits. An atomic clock runs in every satellite whose time is constantly transmitted together with the orbital data. The GPS Receiver records the data of up to 6 satellites and uses this information to calculate its position and time.

MMNNSS iiSS UUsseerr IInntteerrffaaccee
OPC In addition to the MLink protocols or the Fieldbus plug interfaces to the higher level control system, extended data may also be required for Asset Management or SCADA applications. An OPC Interface* is available as an option via the MLink interface. OPC stands for OLE** for Process Control and is based on the component model from Microsoft. Thus information ex-change is possible without directly accessing hardware and software components inside the switchgear system. Information exchange to process control systems is based on common standards, such as PROFIBUS or Modbus. Application can use predefined data sets for example on PROFIBUS, where the Motor Manager profile from PROFIBUS User Organization is used.
Fieldbus interface provides the data for process control, whilst OPC interface provides the bulk of the data for Asset Management etc. The MNS iS OPC Server resides in the environ-ment of the higher level system. E.g. installed in a connectivity server as part of the control system it automatically searches for all connected MLinks in a network and configures itself for data exchange. Several OPC Clients can access the MNS iS OPC Server. This allows different application to receive information from MNS iS devices. MNS iS is capable to handle many information requests simultaneously, e.g. process control goes through the fieldbus interface whilst Asset Management is using OPC data to create a report.
* Planned for Release V2.0 ** OLE (Object Linking and Embedded) was used by Microsoft in their
architecture. Today it is named as COM or DCOM, Distributed Component Object Model and part of Microsofts Operating System architecture as basis for interoperability of software components and application.
Connectivity Limitations The following limitations have to be considered:
Maximum number of MView (incl. MNavigate) performing Operation/Monitoring) connected to one MLink simultaneously:
4
Maximum numbers of OPC Servers accessing data from one MLink simultaneously:
2
System Highlights: Flexibility of fieldbus protocols to communicate to different type of process control systems. Simultaneous information exchange between switchgear and process control systems. Simple integration of OPC Server in process control system Accurate time stamp of events from MNS iS is available for analysis in process control systems.

MStart - Motor Starter Power Unit
The withdrawable MStart modules come in the size from 6E/4 to 24E depending on the kW rating of the connected motor / load. Each MStart has a motor isolator, short circuit protection, contactor, any control equipment required and the sensor module.
Sensor Technology
High accurate current detection and processing is a major function to fulfil protection and control of the electrical motor. In addition other electrical values such as voltage, power, power factor are measured or calculated to provide detailed infor-mation about the motor and its application in a plant environment.
In conventional technologies measuring is done through current and voltage transformer devices whereas in MStart, the electrical module in MNS iS with incoming and outgoing electrical contacts, measurement of electrical values is based on sensor technology. The outgoing contact includes the new sensor technology.
The sensor has been especially developed for data logging in electric and electronic systems. A combination of high precision shunt and micro-processor forms a complete measuring system, which does not only measure current very pre-cisely, but at the same time measures the voltage and temperature.

Modular Software Application
In MNS iS the control device MControl contains an application program composed of only those required software modules needed for its desired application. Different software function modules are available for control, protection maintenance and monitoring functions as well as assignment of in/outputs.
The desired functions are selected during engi-neering phase and downloaded as an application to MControl prior start-up. Those applications are available as template or generated during design phase of the switch-board. Installing of additional function modules at a later stage is supported.
Control Function Modules
MNS iS provides all required software functions to control, protect and monitor the motors with a minimum of module types and components. The control modules available for MControl are capable of handling all functions with one type of common hardware.

Protection Function Modules
The motor protection functions safeguard the motor against the unwanted process or mechan-ical stresses and strains. The protection functions allow pre-sets for Alarm Levels, Trip Levels together with Alarm Delays and Trip Delays thus protecting your valuable assets your mechanical and electrical equipment and safeguarding your production.
The philosophy is simple: Alarms are generated when the pre-set alarm level is reached and the adjustable Alarm Delay time is expired. If the Trip Level is crossed and the Trip Delay expires the motor will trip. In each event messages are generated.
The detailed information on the motor status and configuration is communicated site-wide, providing the plant operator with information enabling preventive actions and educated decision to be made before plant status becomes critical, ensuring plant operators are pro-active in maximizing plant availability with unwanted trips being avoided. The protection functions are configurable and can be enabled or disabled depending on the requirement.
Additionally a variety of protection functions can be set to trip only or alarm only. Specific functions are suppressed during motor start up. The maximum motor start-up time can be set using a parameter, however, MControl monitors the motor start-up and measures the real start-up time. Protection functions are based on this up-to-date value.
The trip-reset modes can also be configured for either of the following: Auto Trip Reset Remote Trip Reset Local Trip Reset Remote & Local Trip Reset

Thermal Overload Protection Thermal Overload Protection (TOL) protects the motor against overheating. The motor thermal condition is simulated by calculation both when running and when stopped. The resulting calcu-lation i.e. thermal capacity is stored in the ther-mal register. The value stored in the thermal register is communicated via the switchgear bus to other devices capable of interpreting the infor-mation. Functionality of the thermal model according
to IEC 60947-4-1 MControl calculates Time to Trip and Time
to Reset. Additionally a message TOL Reset Level Reached is generated to inform the user of a possibility to reset the trip.
In some process applications it may be
beneficial to bypass the TOL protection for short periods. If the TOL Bypass command is given after the TOL alarm, the thermal capacity is allowed to rise up to 200% before tripping. This feature cannot be activated for EEx-e applications.

Description
Phase loss can be caused by blown fuse etc. The protection function uses the highest and lowest measured phase currents to compare against set levels.
Unbalance can be caused by pitted contacts, faulty motor, loose connections etc. The difference between the minimum and maximum phase currents is compared against the set parameters.
Protects the motor against undervoltage condition (voltage drop or loss).
Protects against too high temperature by using PTC sensors. The resistance values are compared against the set levels. Automatic restarting is available if desired. Supervises for open circuit and short circuit conditions.
MControl uses the measured phase current to calculate the earth fault current level. The value is compared against set level.
Other problems may be caused by process related starts / stops of the motor. Too many starts or at a high load may cause interruption.
Any deviation can be informed to the automation and maintenance system.
Description
Protects against stall, the highest measured phase current to compare against the set parameters, activates only after motor start-up time is complete.
Uses the highest measured phase current, to compare against set parameters. Trip level can be disabled; therefore MControl can be set to alarm only.
Similar to Underload but with different set levels and messages. No load uses the highest measured phase current to compare against the set parameters.
Protects the motor against underload condition based on cos phi detection. The cos phi value is compared against the set levels. Most accurate method of protecting against cavitations.
When the Emergency Stop is operated the MControl executes a contactor trip. The release of the Emergency Stop button will not start the motor.
Limits the number of starts during a time interval. Number of starts and time interval are parameter settings. It automatically resets if starts allowed again.

Predictive maintenance is one of the key factors in modern application and plant processes. Availability of the process is ensured with online monitoring and information based on current conditions. XX
These conditions are extended with MNS iS by monitoring temperature in outgoing cable connec-tion.
Description
Temperature rise in the outgoing line of motor starter may be caused by loose terminals and cable connection, detection prevents damage on cable and switchgear.
Each complete close-open cycle of every single contactor is counted and updated. When the contactor switch cycle limit is exceeded MControl initiates an alarm.
The MControl counts the motor running hours. An alarm is initiated when the predefined operating hours limit is exceeded.
Counting insertion cycle of MStart module, an alarm is initiated if alarm level is reached.
MStart hardware compatibility check, detects if the correct type of MStart is used for the modules loaded into MControl. If a wrong type is used, MControl will issue a trip to disable operation.
Location recognition and supervision, check if MControl module hardware and the loaded function modules are in the correct location of switchboard. If wrong location is used, MControl will disable operation.

If a loss of communications is detected the failsafe activates with either one of the following pre-parameterized functions: No Operation, Start Motor (direction 1 or 2), or Stop Motor. By selecting the correct actions appropriate to the process, total plant shutdown can be avoided.
Control Access Control Access provides the facility to define the access control rights for a specific location (such as MView or the Process Control System or locally via Pushbutton etc.)
Starter monitoring
Main Switch Position
MControl monitors the main switch position of MStart, if it is moved from ON to Off position during motor operation, the MControl issues a command to trip the contactor.
TEST Position is also detected. Moving from TEST position to any position if a running motor is simulated also a Trip is issued.
Contactor Feedback Supervision
Following receipt of a command signal, MControl monitors the status of motor and contactor to ensure correct execution. Status is checked by using feedback signals and by current measurement. When enabled will cyclically check the above.
Starter Ready Indication Motor starter condition is monitored and an information is sent to the operator indicating readiness for operation .
Control Voltage Supervision Contactor control voltage level is monitored, any deviation from a set value leads to a trip of motor.
Auto-Restart * After main voltage loss the restart of the motor can be initiated automatically. A time can be parameterized in order to allow staggered start of motor in the plant.
