Section 9—iMCC This section includes instructions for the Model 6 Intelligent MCC (iMCC).
iMCC Overview Model 6 iMCCs feature the same overall structure and unit features as
Model 6 Motor Control Centers with additional “intelligent” capabilities. Two
popular methods for configuring Model 6 iMCCs to customize your
application are:
• iMCC-Hardwired I/O: PLC Interwiring
• iMCC-Network: Network Cabling
iMCC-Hardwired I/O: PLC Interwiring
This method offers a hardwired I/O system in the Model 6 MCC that
provides basic information and control capabilities. With the I/O mounted in
the MCC, the starters are wired to the I/O at the Schneider Electric
manufacturing plant, and the system is tested prior to shipment.
iMCC-Network: Network Cabling
A key feature of our iMCC-Network solution is the integration of intelligent
devices and device level networks for control and automation that delivers
improved performance. Popular network protocols such as CANopen,
DeviceNet™, Ethernet, Modbus
®
, and PROFIBUS communicate directly to
every unit of the iMCC for an effective method of connecting centralized
control to widely distributed I/O.
Networking allows for easy monitoring of critical data of each motor or load
connected to the iMCC, enabling precise process control at all times. With
this information, your staff can respond to potential problems proactively.
Real-time access to information and records of last faults allows for
simplified diagnostics and reduced downtime.
The network cabling consists of a solution that is appropriate for your
selected communication network. Our industry-leading, full-depth wireway
effectively separates network cabling from high voltage cabling.
Additionally, our standard wireway barrier isolates the communication
cabling from the load cabling routed in the vertical wireway.
Networks/Communications
Overview
iMCCs contain Schneider Electric devices with communication ports. Each
device has a unique internal register map. These devices may be linked
together to a single point.
The Schneider Electric publications listed in Table 2 on page 12 may be
useful in the setup, maintenance, and regular operation of your Model 6
iMCC. Upon request, your Schneider Electric field sales representative can
provide them to you in print. Or, you can download these documents from
the Technical Library at www.schneider-electric.us.
