2.3 Intended use
The RCMS460 or RCMS490 residual current monitor is designed for measuring
residual and operating currents TT and TN-S systems (measuring range see
"Chapter 8.3 Technical data", paragraph "measuring circuit"). Alternatively, digital inputs can be scanned and evaluated.
The RCMS system consi sts of one or m ore RCMS460- D/-L or RCMS490-D/-L residual current monitors, which are able to detect and evaluate fault, residual
and operating currents in earthed power supplies via the related measuring
current transformers. The maximum voltage of the system to be monitored
depends on the nominal insulation voltage of the measuring current transformer used in the case of busbar systems, resp. depend on the cables or conductors that are routed through.
To measure AC/DC sensitive residual currents (according to IEC/TR 60755:
Type B) closed W…AB series measuring current transformers are required.
Six W…AB series measuring current transformers require one AN420 or
AN110 power supply unit.
For alternating and pulsating currents (according to IEC/TR 60755: Type A
W… (closed), WR… (rectangular), WS… (split-core) and WF… (flexible) series
measuring current transformers are used.
Any combination of the various measuring current transformer series can be
connected to the evaluator measuring channels.
Each RCMS460-D/-L and RCMS490-D/-L has 12 measuring channels. Up to 90
residual current monitors can be connected via a BMS bus (RS-485 interface
with BMS protocol), thereby up to 1080 measuring channels (sub-circuits) can
be monitored.
If this product is used for personnel protection, fire or plant protection, the frequency response can be set accordingly. The measured currents can be analysed
for harmonics. The THF can be determined too (THF =
T
otal Harmonic Factor).
The product must be adapted to local equipment and operating conditions
by making individual parameter settings, in order to meet the requirements
of applicable standards and to attain the protection goals.

3. System description
In buildings and industrial installations, a fault or failure of the power supply
involves high costs. In installations which require a high fault tolerance and
good safety, an RCMS system should constantly monitor the TN-S system for
insulation deterioration to ensure that the system is "clean" and electromagnetically compatible.
3.1 Typical applications
Measuring and evaluating residual, fault and rated currents of loads
and installations in the frequency range of 0…2000 Hz (W…, WR…,
WS…, WF… series measuring current transformers, 42…2000 Hz (W…,
WR…, WS…, WF… series measuring current transformers) (measuring
range see "Chapter 8.3 Technical data").
Monitoring of currents which can cause fires in flammable atmos-
pheres.
EMC monitoring of TN-S systems for "stray currents" and additional N-
PE connections.
Monitoring of N conductors for overload caused by harmonics
Monitoring of PE and equipotentional bonding conductors to ensure
they are free of current.
Residual current monitoring of stationary electrical equipment and sys-
tems to determine test intervals which meet practical requirements in
compliance with the accident prevention regulations BGV A3 (Ger-
many).
Personnel protection and protection against fire by rapid disconnec-
tion.
Monitoring of digital inputs.

System description
3.2 Description of function
The currents are detected and evaluated as true r.m.s. value s in the fr equenc y
range of 0 (42)…2000 Hz. All channels are scanned simultaneously so that the
maximum scanning time for all channels is ≤180 ms if 1 x the response value
is exceeded and ≤ 30 ms if 5 x the response value is exceeded.
The latest current values of all channels are shown on the LC display in bar
graph format. If one of the two set response values is exceeded, the response
delay t
begins. Once the response delay has elapsed, the common alarm re-
on
lays "K1/K2" switch and the alarm LEDs 1/2 light up.
Two response values/common alarm relays, which can be set separately, allow a distinction to be made between prewarning and alarm. The faulty channel(s) and the associated measured value are indicated on the LC display. If
the current falls below the release value (response value plus hysteresis), the
release delay "toff“ t
mon alarm relays switch back to their initial state.
If the fault memory is enabled, the common alarm relays remain in the alarm
state until the reset button is pressed or a reset command is sent via the BMS
bus. The device function can be tested using the test button. Parameters are
assigned to the device via the LC display and the control buttons on the front
panel of one of the connected RCMS…-D devices or via connected panels,
Ethernet gateways (z. B. COM460IP) and Condition Monitors (z. B. COMTRAXX
CP700). With the adjustable preset function the response values can set for all
channels taking the latest measured value for each channel into account.
Digital input
Each individual channel can be used for one of the following monitoring functions:
– As digital input using a potential-free contact 1/0
– Or for current or residual current monitoring in combination with
measuring current transformers.

System description
History memory in RCMS460-D, RCMS490-D
The device utilises a history memory for failsafe storing of up to 300 data records (date, time, channel, event code, measured value), so that all data about
an outgoing circuit or an area can be traced back at any time (what happened
when).
Analysis of harmonics
The analysis of the harmonics of the measured currents can be selected via a
menu item in RCMS460-D, RCMS490-D. There, the DC component, the THF
and the current value of the harmonics (1…40 at 50/60 Hz, 1…5 at 400 Hz) is
displayed numerically and graphically.
3.3 Device variants
RCMS residual current monitoring systems differ depending on the residual current monitor version used, RCMS460… or RCMS490….
RCMS460-D
Device version RCMS460-D utilises a backlit graphical display. This version is
used for local display of detailed information about all devices connected to the
bus in the control cabinet. This device can be used to parameterise all RCMS devices connected to the BMS bus and to display all measurement details. Several
RCMS-D devices can be used within one system.
RCMS460-L
Device version RCMS460-L utilises a two-digit 7-segment display where the
address of this device is displayed within the BMS bus. The alarm LEDs indicate
in which measuring channel the response value has been exceeded. Parameters
can be set via an RCMS…D, an
tion Monitor (z. B. COMTRAXX CP700).
Ethernet gateway (z. B. COM460IP) or a Condi-
RCMS490-D/RCMS490-L
The function of the device versions RCMS490-D/RCMS490-L corresponds to
the function described above. In addition, a galvanically isolated alarm contact (N/O contact) is available, e.g. for triggering a circuit breaker in this subcircuit when a response value is exceeded.
