Communication planning
With the 3WL10 air circuit breaker and the electronic trip units of the 6-series, Siemens
low-voltage products offer an integrated communication concept together with the
3VA molded case circuit breakers and the 7KM PAC measuring devices.
Features:
● The high level of modularity of circuit breakers and accessories allows easy retrofitting of
all communication components
● Up to two communication modules can be used at the same time.
● Simple integration into power monitoring systems with the modular metering functions
MF Basic or MF Advanced according to IEC 61557-1
● Simple integration into plant monitoring systems for monitoring
– Status
– Measured values
– Alarms and warnings
– Diagnostics
– Maintenance
● Significant additional benefits for the switchboard due to the possibility of connecting
external input and output modules to the 3WL10 air circuit breaker
● Innovative software products for commissioning, testing, parameterization, operation,
monitoring, documentation, and diagnostics of circuit breakers on site at the display, via
the front interface using test devices or communication modules
● Integration of the circuit breakers into the Totally Integrated Power (TIP) and Totally
Integrated Automation (TIA) solutions
Supported communication protocols
The electronic trip units of the 6-series permit integration of the 3WL10 air circuit breaker into
the following communication protocols:
● Modbus TCP
● Modbus RTU / RS485
● PROFIBUS DP
● PROFINET IO
● IEC 61850
