Function Function Intended Use The device combination, consisting of RCMS410 and the measuring current transformers intended for it, is designed for AC, DC and pulse-sensitive differential current measurement in TN, TT and IT systems. An RCMS410 sounds an alarm when the adjustable response values are violated. Please note that, depending on the type of current, further function modules (in particular function module B) must be enabled and activated.
LINETRAXX® SmartDetect RCMS410 LEDs Ch1…4 Figure 3-1: Timing diagram 3.2.2 Connection monitoring The connections to the measuring current transformers are permanently monitored. In the event of a fault, a message is output via the interfaces and the status LED and the channel LED of the faulty connection flash yellow.
Function 3.2.5 Delay times t , t, t and t The times t , t, t and t described below delay the output of alarms via LEDs, digital outputs and Modbus RTU. Recovery time t The recovery time is the time the device needs to be ready for measurement after the supply voltage U been connected.
LINETRAXX® SmartDetect RCMS410 Undercurrent mode Set the response value for the pre-warning higher than the response value for the main alarm (≥ 110%). Response values Depending on the type of transformer connected, the following response values are available for the pre- warning and the main alarm.
Function 3.2.7 Automatic measuring range switching The RCMS410 device measures at least 5 times the set residual operating current (5 x I Δn However, once (5 x I ) is reached, no measured value is displayed; instead, only the fact that this limit has Δn been exceeded is reported.
LINETRAXX® SmartDetect RCMS410 3.2.11 Channel functions The settings for the channel functions are configured in Modbus registers 32700…32703. Measuring-current-transformer connection For each channel either the overcurrent, undercurrent, or window function can be selected (register content 32700…32703: 1, 2, or 3) •...
3.2.14 NFC interface The NFC interface can be used to transmit a previously configured device parameter setting directly to the device. This function is available only via the Bender Connect App. You can find this app in the Appstores for and Android.

Function module C: Connection of Type A external current transformers Function module C permits the use of measuring-current transformers by manufacturers other than Bender. When an external current transformer is used, a number of turns must be selected in the corresponding Modbus register (33104…33107).
Dimensions, mounting and connection Dimensions, mounting and connection Only skilled persons are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, put into service and run a device or system. DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of: •...
Dimensions, mounting and connection The cables are connected to the device via plug-in terminals. The maximum permissible conductor cross section is 1.5 mm². 4.3.2 Supply voltage U The technical data must be observed. The wiring is done on the bottom of the device. Only power supply units of protection classes 2 or 3 are to be used.
Specification The RCMS410 has an RS-485 interface with Modbus RTU protocol. In a system setup it is therefore compatible with other Modbus RTU-capable device series from Bender, such as e. g. the RCMB300 series, RCMS150-01, and RCMB13…-01. Up to 247 Modbus-RTU devices can be used on the bus.
NFC (Near Field Communication) The NFC interface can be used to transmit a previously configured device parameter setting directly to the device. This function is available only via the Bender Connect App. You can find this app in the Appstores for and Android.
LINETRAXX® SmartDetect RCMS410 The output becomes active if AL1 of the selected measuring channel Prewarning (AL1) AC/DC/RMS CH1…4 is present. The output becomes active if AL2 of the selected measuring channel Main alarm (AL2) AC/DC/RMS CH1…4 is present. The output becomes active if a CT-connection fault (short circuit or CT-connection fault CH1…4 interruption) of the selected measuring channel is present.
Interfaces Low-active: In the active mode the GND potential is applied to output Q. In the passive mode an external voltage can be connected (see Technical data). The output switches the applied potential to GND. internally externally Permanently high: The output is permanently set to +24 V.
LINETRAXX® SmartDetect RCMS410 5.4.1 Digital mode Settings in registers 32500…32501 In digital mode, M+ can be operated in Active, Passive or Permanent mode. The following settings can be assigned: M+ = Active High-active: In the active mode +24 V are applied to output M+ internally. Low-active: In the active mode the GND potential is applied to output M+.
Interfaces M+ = Permanently low The output is permanently switched to GND. In this manner e. g. an additional reference for the digital input can be created. Alarm assignments permit assigning the following alarms to the output M+ in digital mode (registers 32504… 32519): The output becomes active if AL1 of the selected Prewarning (AL1) AC/DC/RMS CH1…4...
