The European standard EN 50110 can be used as a guide. 2.3 Intended use The RCMB330 residual current monitoring modules are intended for AC/DC sensitive re- sidual current measurement. The area of application is the monitoring of residual cur- rents I for preventive maintenance in TN, TT and IT system up to 300 V with I ≤...
Device description 3. Device description 3.1 Area of application The RCMB330 residual current monitoring modules are intended for measuring AC and DC fault currents in earthed systems (TN and TT systems). The modules are able to measure residual currents I = 10…500 mA in a frequency range of DC…100 kHz.
Device description 3.3 Functional description Residual current I Δn The residual current monitoring module measures both AC and DC currents. The mes- sage is transmitted via Modbus based on the determined RMS value. If the set residual operating current I (main alarm) is exceeded, the LED lights red.
If the Modbus RTU system is supplied from several power supply units, impermissibly high touch currents may occur. DANGER Use only one power supply unit in the Modbus RTU system. 4.1 Dimension diagram 65,5 100,4 Bender Fig. 4.1: Dimension diagram RCMB330 all dimensions in mm, tolerance ±0.5 mm RCMB330_D00389_00_M_XXEN/12.2020...
The device can also be screwed on using the supplied adapter. For this purpose, the RCMB330 adapter is inserted into the mounting groove on the bottom of the RCMB330 and fixed with the mounting clip. 4.3 Connecting the device Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!

Mounting and connection 4.4 Installation instructions for measuring current transformers Do not route any shielded cables through the measuring current transformer! Device damage due to interference pulses! The connecting cable (supply, analogue interface...) must not be routed directly past the current transformer core/primary conductor. CAUTION Protective conductors and live conductors Make sure that all current-carrying cables are routed...
Commissioning 5. Commissioning 5.1 Address setting Every RCMB330 has a factory-set Modbus address. The address is 1XX, where XX = the last two digits of the serial number. Example: Serial number = 12345678 —> Modbus address = 178 If the preset address is to be changed, this can be done •...
Commissioning 5.2 Offset calibration The RCMB330 should be calibrated after installation in the system to be monitored. The device can be calibrated by pressing the "T/R" button and via the Modbus interface. Make sure that during the offset calibration the system is switched off and no current flows through the measuring current transformer.
Commissioning 5.4 Test and reset 5.4.1 Periodic self test The RCMB330 carries out self-diagnosis of the electronics at regular intervals to ensure that the device functions properly. 5.4.2 Manual test/reset The integrated "T/R" button allows a function test to be performed locally at any time.
6. LED The LED indicates the module state by means of colours and lighting/flashing. LED flashing pattern Description Device switched off Device is de-energised, no monitoring, no monitoring function (LED is off). Normal operating state The device is supplied with the specified voltage and ready for operation. It monitors the pri- mary circuit (lights green).
Modbus registers 7. Modbus registers This chapter provides a complete description of the Modbus registers for the RCMB330 to allow access to information. The following Modbus function codes are supported: • Holding register for reading out values (Read Holding Register; function code 0x03) •...

The detailed measured values also include status information and units in addition to the pure measured value. This function is essentially required for the Bender COM- TRAXX® system. Detailed measured values can also be interesting for a direct readout of the Modbus registers, since with these registers the measured values and associated status information can be queried at once and directly one after the other.

Modbus registers 7.5 History A maximum of 50 events can be stored. The events are sorted chronologically in such a way that the most recent event is number 1 and the oldest event is number 50. The history memory is buffered and is only updated by reading register 12000 so that the sequence does not change during readout (due to a new history event).
