SB Breaker Communication
All SB Circuit Breaker trip unit feature levels of communication:
Zone Selective Interlocking and ACCESS System open-protocol
communications. The SB-EC Trip Unit is fully equipped for direct
integration into ACCESS or compatible communication systems.
It does not require a MTA (Multiplexer/Translator for ACCESS
communications and Zone interlocking) or expansion plug (EP).
If zone selective interlocking alone is specified for a SB-EC or TL
Trip Unit, a MTZ (Multiplexer/Translator for Zone Interlocking) and
an EP are required.
If zone selective interlocking and full ACCESS communications
are specified for a TL Trip Unit, a MTA and an EP are required.
The MT (as in MTA and MTZ) is a minicomputer that collects data
from and transmits data to difference components integrated into
the ACCESS communications system. The MT can support up to
eight field devices. Multiple MT’s can be connected, although an
expansion plug may be required for each trip unit.
Siemens WinPM supervisory software (version 4.0 or later) delivers
a powerful energy management system providing sophisticated
monitoring capability to a host computer and other components in
the electrical distribution system at affordable cost. It also provides
process control, including peak demand, trend analysis, waveform
analysis, and harmonic calculations and displays. These functions
help pinpoint energy consumption, power quality issues, and the
energy cost of any process. Outages and potential outages can be
quickly diagnosed and plans can be generated for expansion and
preventative plant maintenance.
NOTE: Refer to Bulletin IPIM-2211A for additional information
on the MTA and Siemens WinPM software.
Communications is accomplished via EIA-485 twisted pair wire or
modem. It provides communications to a remote site and allows
access to multiple plants, WinPM uses a Microsoft Windows
dynamic data exchange (DDE) server that allows data exchange
to other Windows-based software such as spreadsheets and word
processors.
Protocol Converters are available form the Siemens ACCESS
group for connecting a variety of open and proprietary automation
protocols, including Profibus DP, LonWorks, Siemens S7 PLC, and
many other third-party PLCs and associated networks. The SB-EC
Trip Unit’s EIA-2342 communications port provides additional PC
communications for available trip unit data displays and trip unit
configuration via Siemens SBWIN software. Remote open/close
operation is also possible if a remote open/close relay is installed.
Expansion Plug

Factory wired when ACCESS communications or ZSI is ordered for the SB
breaker from the factory.
The EP is an electronic interface and isolation module required to
integrate a breaker into an ACCESS system. When required, one
expansion plug is used for each circuit breaker in the system and
is used to interface trip units to a MTZ or MTA. The expansion
plug is always necessary for zone interlocking or full ACCESS
communications for the TL Trip Unit. It is not required for ACCESS
communications with the SB-EC Trip Unit. However, an expansion
plug is required for zone interlocking with the SB-EC Trip Unit.

SB System Breakers
The following sections describe both types of SB trip units, the
standard Type ‘TL’ unit with rotary switches, and the SB Energy-
Comm (SB-EC) Trip Unit with keypad and display. Since the SB-EC
Trip Unit has integral communication capability, the MTA device
is
not
required to connect within an ACCESS system, however for
SB-EC Trip Units in a ZSI system, and MTZ or MTA is required.
The type EPSB expansion plug is factory wired to the SB breaker
trip unit’s rear connector and also located near and wired to the
SB breaker's secondary terminal block for fixed mount breakers or
sliding disconnects for drawout breakers. These connections are
factory wired when the SB breaker is ordered with the standard
switch based type “TL” trip unit for ACCESS communications or
for any trip unit with ZSI capability.
Installed ICCB SB breakers without communication capability may
be field upgraded for communication capability by Siemens Field

DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause death or serious injury.
Turn off and lock out all power supplying the device prior to
cover(s) removal or while cover(s) are removed and when
installing any internal or external accessory.
Replace the cover(s) and shield(s) before power supplying
this device is turned on.
