9 MACHINE COMMUNICATION
The IPM provides the option of using the Remote Termination Module (RTM) to provide machine
communication. See Section 6.3 for connection diagram.
9.1 Remote Termination Module
The Remote Termination Module is a microprocessor based fully encapsulated module that replaces the
diode at the end of the pilot conductor of the trailing cable. It is powered by and communicates via the
pilot line. Its non-volatile memory stores the parameters to configure the outlet as appropriate for that
machine.
This allows the motor to be supplied from different outlets without the need for re-programming the
protection settings into the IPM each time.
Machine type and machine number are displayed on the Default and Earth Continuity Screens (Levels 1
and 3).
9.2 Machine Type Codes
There are fourteen (14) selectable machine type codes available for use in the Remote Termination
Module. The descriptive code is transmitted to the IPM Relay to identify the type of machine connected
to the outlet. The codes are programmed at the „RTM Mach. Type‟ page (Level 6, Screen 1).
