Load
The basic device with module is suitable for use
as a residual current monitoring device (RCM) for
monitoring alternating currents, pulsating direct
currents and direct currents.
With the monitoring of residual currents (RCM,
Residual Current Monitor) of an electrical system
via inputs I5 and I6 (terminals 29/30 and 31/32),
the basic device with module is able to trigger
warning pulses when the limit value is exceeded.
The system operator can be alerted before a
protective device is triggered.
The measurements in medium and high voltage
networks are made via current and voltage
transformers.
NOTE
· The residual current monitoring monitors
the residual currents via external current
transformers and, if a threshold value
is exceeded, can trigger a warning signal.
· Limit values and warnings for the device or
system operator can be configured easily in the
GridVis® software.
NOTE
The basic device with module is not an
independent protective device against electric
shock!
The basic device with module measures residual
currents according to IEC/TR 60755 (2008-01) of:
Type A
Type B and Type B+ (enhanced frequency
range)
Connection of suitable external residual current
transformers with a nominal current of 30 mA can
be made on residual current transformer inputs I5
(terminals 29/30) and I6 (terminals 31/32).
6.2 Activate cable break detection (failure
monitoring) RCM for I5 and I6.
The basic device with module has a “Cable
break detection” feature (failure monitoring).
With this feature, the basic device with module
monitors the connection to the residual current
transformers on the measuring inputs I5 and I6
(module mode Residual current - see chap. 9.2 on page 34).
The cable break detection for I5 and I6:
· Can be activated via Modbus addresses or in
®

6.3 Current direction for the current
transformer on I5 and I6.
For residual current measurements at the
measuring inputs I5 and I6, the device makes no
distinction between the current directions. This
means that incorrect connection does not require
reconnection afterwards.
NOTE
The device makes no distinction between the
current directions of the residual currents.
The residual currents of the grid side or load side
are not directionally sensitive.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to large currents and high
electrical voltage on the current transformers!
Current transformers operated while open on the
secondary side (high voltage peaks pose a hazard
when touched) can result in severe bodily injury or
death.
· Avoid operating the current transformers
while open; short circuit the unloaded
transformers!
· Before interrupting the current supply,
short circuit the secondary connections of
the current transformers. Switch any test
switches that automatically short circuit the
secondary lines of the current transformers
to the “Test” status (Check the test switch/
short circuiting connection beforehand)!
· Only use current transformers with basic
insulation to IEC 61010-1:2010!
· Caution, even current transformers rated as
safe for open operation can pose a hazard
when touched during operation while open!
· Make sure that screw terminals for the
current transformer connection on the device
are adequately tightened!
· Comply with the information and provisions
in the documentation of your current
transformers!
· Existing ground connections on the
secondary windings of the current
transformers must be connected to ground!
· Observe the general safety information for
handling current transformers and devices
with residual current measurement in chap.
2.7 on page 10.
· Comply with the information and provisions
in the documentation of your current
transformers!
6.4 Residual current transformer example
A residual current transformer is used to measure
on insulated mains wiring in a 300 V CAT III
network.
Solution:
Provide basic insulation for 300 V CAT III for
the insulation of the network wiring and the
insulation of the residual current transformer. This
corresponds to a test voltage of 1500 V AC (1
min. duration) for the insulated network wiring and
a test voltage of 1500 V AC (1 min. duration) for
the residual current transformer.
6.5 Important information about the residual
current inputs
CAUTION
Risk of injury or damage to the device/your
system due to short circuit!
Inadequate insulation of the operating equipment
at the residual current measuring input with
respect to the supply circuits can cause voltages
at the measuring input which represent a hazard
when touched or damage to your device or
system.
· Ensure reinforced or double insulation with
respect to the supply circuits!
· Ensure galvanic isolation of the residual
current measuring inputs from each other!
NOTE
For the residual current monitoring, the basic
device with module requires the mains frequency.
For this purpose, apply a measured voltage
or configure a fixed frequency.
NOTE
The ratios for the residual current transformer
inputs can be configured individually on the basic
device with module, or, along with additional
parameters relevant for the module, via the
GridVis® network visualization software.
ATTENTION
Damage to the device/your system due to short
circuit!

Module 96-PA-RCM / 96-PA-RCM-EL
6.10 Analog inputs I5 and I6/U6 – DC power
As an option for measuring the residual current,
the basic device with module also permits use of
the analog inputs I5 and I6 (U6) for a DC power
measurement.
In a DC power measurement, the current channel
I6 effectively becomes a voltage measurement
input, U6. When a residual current transformer
of the type CT-AC/DC Type B+ is connected, it
converts an input voltage into an output current
signal. The current signal changes proportionately
to the measured value of the input variable.
For a DC power measurement, the basic device
with module supports input current signals with
the values
· 0 ... 20 mA
· 4 ... 20 mA
6.11 Connection example - DC power measurement
ATTENTION
Damage to the device/your system due to short
circuit!
Inadequate insulation of the operating equipment
at the analog inputs with respect to the supply
circuits can lead to damage of your device or
system.
· Ensure reinforced or double insulation with
respect to the supply circuits!

temperatures of up to 80 °C (176 °F) on the
connections of the current transformers
· Use wiring that is designed for an operating
temperature of at least 80 °C (176 °F)!
· The current transformers can be hot even
after the power supply has been switched
off. Allow the connections of the current
transformers and the connecting cables to
cool down before touching them!
Consumer
· Make sure that screw terminals for the

The basic device with module 96-PA-RCM-EL
has six ways to allocate addresses for an Ethernet
connection (TCP/IP):
1. Static
The user selects the IP address, netmask and
gateway on the device. Use this mode for
simple networks with no DHCP server.
2. BOOTP
Automatically integrates your device in an
existing network. BOOTP is an older protocol
and has a smaller range of functions than
DHCP.
3. DHCP
On start-up, the device is automatically given
an IP address, netmask and gateway from the
DHCP server.
4. Static gratuitous ARP
The user selects the IP address, netmask
and gateway on the device. The device
automatically logs into the network with IP and
MAC address.
Configure the Ethernet settings or obtain details
from the window Communication > Ethernet (TCP/IP):
· Press button 1 in the Home window to open
the Menu.
· With button 3 or 4, select the menu item
Configuration and confirm with key 6.
· In the Configuration window, use button 3 or 4 to
select the item Communication and confirm with
key 6.
· In the Communication window, use button 3 or
4 to select the item Ethernet Config and confirm
with button 6.
· The window Communication appears with the
Ethernet settings:
Configure your Ethernet (TCP/IP) settings as
described in chap. „7. Operation and button
functions of the basic device with module “ on
page 28.
5. BOOTP ARP Probe
Simplified protocol for the automatic
assignment of IP addresses to the MAC
addresses. The device automatically logs into
the network with IP and MAC address.
6. DHCP ARP Probe
Protocol for the automatic assignment of IP
addresses to the MAC addresses. The device
automatically logs into the network with IP and
MAC address.
NOTE
· The standard factory setting of the basic
device with module 96-PA-RCM-EL is
“dynamic assignment of IP address” (DHCP
mode).
· Consult your network administrator for the
Ethernet settings for your device.
