MNS IS MOTOR CONTROL CENTER S YSTEM GUIDE7—MNS iS system overviewFunction module conceptMNS iS motor control center solution deliversall the functions for control, protection andmonitoring of the motors and motor startersusing software and hardware modules for thespecific tasks. Right information is provided tothe right people at the right time.Hardware modules are designed to fulfill desiredtasks (power module containing electrical partse.g. to isolate power, control module containingsoftware applications etc. to control a motor).System functions are provided as functionalmodules to be downloaded to the control module.Only required functions are downloaded whileothers are available as options.System functionality may be enhanced at anytime without the requirement for additionalhardware or wiring.Module and location supervision are availableas a standard. These functions ensure thecorresponding power and control modules areinstalled to the correct location for the particularmotor/feeder application.Maintenance functions are an integral part ofthe system. Asset monitors measuring systemperformance data (e.g. outgoing linetemperature, number of insertions) allowscheduling of maintenance activities only ifthey are really required.The flexibility of the system allows modificationsby a simple “plug and produce” concept.Exchanging the modules or changing theparameter settings is easily achieved by usingsystem inherent functions and tools.Time synchronization with a time server in theplant or locally in the switchboard allows accuratetime stamps of alarms and events collected in thecontrol module.Process Control SystemFieldbusSwitchgear Control NetworkMLink 1Communication I/F;Web Server; Time CientMViewWeb InterfaceMLink nCommunication I/F;Web Server;Time CientMControl 1Control andProtectionMControl 1Control andProtectionMControl nControl andProtectionMControl nControl andProtectionMControl 60Control andProtectionMControl 60Control andProtection

11MNS IS MOTOR CONTROL CENTER S YSTEM GUIDE—MNS iS design aspectsFunctional compartmentsand segregationThe switchboard is divided into vertical andhorizontal compartments thus separatingdifferent functional areas.4As a standard, power cabling and control wiringare strictly separated within MNS iS. Theswitchboard is structured as follows:1 Equipment compartmentAll equipment, including the standard motorstarter modules (MStart) in withdrawabledesign, is situated therein. The compartmentcan be divided in horizontal and verticalsub-compartments.2 Control cable compartmentContains the motor control devices(MControl), control cables and terminals.3 Power cable compartmentContains power cables and connection units.4 Busbar compartmentContains the MNS main busbar system anddistribution bars. The distribution bars areembedded in the multifunction separationwall (MFW) which is located between theequipment compartment and the busbarcompartment.1—Incomer42System highlights Functional areas are separated from each otherin accordance with IEC 61439 series. Power cables are fully separated from the control and communication cables, thus avoidingelectromagnetic interferences. Different access rights to cable compartmentscan be granted using different key locks.31—MCC
