ABB 1TGC910111M0201 MNS iS MLink Upgrade Kit Manual

Software Modules

MLink contains different software modules depending on its initial configuration. The software

modules are available on request.

Following software modules are available:

· Web Server

· OPC Server (DA & AE)

· Fieldbus

· Time Synchronization

· Redundant Operation

If a specific module is not available on the MLink, please contact your local ABB LVS Sales

organization should this be required.

Web Server

A Web Server can be activated inside MLink. Through network connection web interface

information can be displayed on MView or a PC using web browser software. For details about

Web Interface see the document:

MNS iS Interface Manual Web Interface.

OPC Server

With MNS iS an OPC Server (DA & AE) is available. The software is typically installed on a

server as part of the automation control system. The software installation program is delivered

separately. If activated, the MLink functions as a data provider for the MNS iS OPC Server. For

details about OPC Server see the document:

MNS iS Interface Manual OPC Server.

Fieldbus

MLink can include Fieldbus communication to DCS. The type of Fieldbus must be selected

before ordering the MLink type. The Fieldbus specific information (PROFIBUS, MODBUS etc.)

can be found in the following documents:

MNS iS Interface Manual Profibus

MNS iS Interface Manual Modbus

MNS iS Interface Manual Profinet IO

The EL operating mechanism of the Advac circuit breakers (in all versions) is fitted with a mechanical anti-pumping 

device which prevents re-closing due to either electrical or mechanical commands. 

Should both the closing command and any one of the opening commands (local or remote) be active at the same time, 

there would be a continuous succession of opening and closing operations.

The anti-pumping device avoids this situation, ensuring that each closing operation is only followed 

by a single opening operation and that there is no closing operation after this. 

To obtain a further closing operation, the closing command must be released and then re-launched.

Furthermore, the anti-pumping device only allows circuit-breaker closure if the following conditions 

are present at the same time:

 1. Closing spring fully charged

 2. Opening mechanical pushbutton and/or opening release coils (-MO1/-MO2) are not active.

 3. The circuit breaker is in the Open position.
