Chapter 1
System Overview
CENTERLINE 2500 Motor Control Centers (MCCs) are designed for applications that must comply with international standards and practices for low voltage motor control centers. The CENTERLINE 2500 MCC is ideal for tough, demanding industrial applications where uptime and ease of maintenance is required.
The time-proven CENTERLINE power bus structure distributes line power throughout the MCC via an isolated bus work structure. Standard, center-fed, 300 A rated vertical bus supplies power to the individual units above and below the horizontal bus for an effective 600 A capacity and virtually unrestricted unit arrangement. An optional 600 A vertical bus provides an effective rating of 1200 A.

ArcShield Rating

The CENTERLINE MCC is also available with an ArcShield™ rating. The ArcShield rating includes arc-resistant features for enhanced protection in the event of internal arcing faults.
In addition to standard safety features of the CENTERLINE 2500 MCC, the ArcShield option provides the following:
Spring latches
Reinforced structure
Pressure relief vent system through the top of the enclosure
Protection up 300 ms at 480V/65 kA

System Overview Chapter 1

IntelliCENTER Software

IntelliCENTER MCCs can be provided with pre-configured IntelliCENTER software. The software is capable of viewing, managing, and configuring multiple MCC line-ups. The IntelliCENTER software communication driver lets the software be installed and operated on EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet. The IntelliCENTER software can function as a stand alone software package or as an ActiveX control in a human machine interface (HMI).

Structure

CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs offer units with a full complement of AC drives, soft starters, and other devices. Pluggable power connections on the back of the unit plug into the vertical bus. A mechanical interlock helps prevent the unit door from being opened while the main switch is in the ON/I position. An additional mechanical interlock helps prevent the unit from being withdrawn or inserted when the unit main switch is closed. Separate vertical wireways isolate control and network cables from power wiring. Units are available as fixed or fully withdrawable.

Identifies Column Sequence Numbering

Motor Control Center Sequence Numbering

CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs are designed so functionality is not affected by the column numbering sequence. However, we recommend that columns be installed in sequential order.
Each CENTERLINE 2500 MCC column nameplate identifies column sequence numbering, for example, MCC column 1 of 1 or 1 of 5.
Figure 8 - Column Nameplates
Columns are numbered to match factory-supplied MCC elevation drawings. Numbering each column helps installers and users easily identify MCC columns and units. If there are questions about column numbering during field installation, inspection, or operation, the following instructions can provide guidance.
Leftmost column must be installed in the proper location for the bus to splice. (Both ends of double-front MCCs must be installed as ends for splicing.)
The most important criteria for additions of columns to existing MCCs is matching the horizontal bus, enclosure type, and network capabilities for the complete MCC line up. The voltage, current rating, short circuit withstand, and IP rating for all columns must be consistent.

Receiving

CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs are shipped upright as one or two column shipping blocks or two or four double front column shipping blocks. Each CENTERLINE 2500 MCC shipping block is provided with a lifting angle. Each column in a shipping block is bolted to the shipping skid with removable shipping angles and covered with clear plastic wrap. Protection is for upright shipping and is not waterproof or watertight. Equipment that extends from the structures is also protected.
Heavy duty/export packaging is similar to standard packaging, but uses a poly wrap suitable for occasional water-spray. In addition, wood framing and sheeting surround the columns. Heavy duty/export packaging is not watertight, waterproof, or intended for long-term storage.
Upon delivery of the MCC, refer to the packing slip shipped with your MCC for sizes and exact shipping weights, as well as the shipment for lost or damaged items. If lost or damaged items are detected, refer to the steps described in publication 2500-IN002

To obtain a IBC or UBC seismic withstandability, each individual CENTERLINE 2500 MCC line-up (including those in double-front applications) must be mounted on an adequate seismic foundation. Installation must be carried out per the anchoring requirements as indicated in this instruction manual. All columns in the MCC line-up must also be bolted together per instructions in Joining
Columns on page 37.
In the CENTERLINE 2500 MCC line-up, mounting channels are incorporated in the standard design. As an alternative to bolt down anchoring, these mounting channels can be welded to an adequate seismic foundation. For seismic weld down applications, see Figure 13 on page 35

Splicing the Power Bus

ATT EN TI ON : To prevent severe injury or death, de-energize all power sources to
the MCC before joining and splicing columns. Follow local codes and guidelines in addition to the requirements of EN 50110.
When splicing the horizontal power bus, always begin splicing from the lowest phase busbar and work from the bottom up.
Using NO-OX-ID – Do not get any busbar corrosion inhibitor on the bus splicing hardware. It keeps the hardware from being properly torqued and damage can occur.
Power bus consists of the main horizontal bus and neutral bus (if present). Based on the current rating of the power bus, the splice kit contains the appropriate splice bars and corresponding hardware. The following procedures describe methods for splicing power buses based on the ampere rating of the busbars.
For additional splicing information related to specific MCCs, refer to the elevation drawing shipped with the MCC in the documentation package.
If necessary, remove units and unit support pans for the appropriate access to splice the power bus.

Install Cable
When installing cable, make sure it is installed according to appropriate codes and standards. Multi-conductor cables, cable trays, cable ducts, and conduit are all acceptable methods of routing cable to your MCC.
It is important that all cable is installed so it is compatible with the enclosure rating of the MCC. Cable entry and exit points must be properly sealed so water and moisture cannot enter or accumulate inside the enclosure.
Inside the MCC enclosure, route cable away from the PE conductor to avoid damage. Position cable so bending is minimized and relative vertical alignment to incoming connections is maintained.
Refer to the documentation package shipped with your MCC for the following information:
Approximate cable entry locations
Space availability for incoming cables
PE conductor locations
Wiring schemes for main fusible disconnects, main circuit breakers and
incoming line compartments
Install cable per manufacturer’s instructions and sized according to appropriate codes and standards.

IMPORTANT
TIP
For incoming line compartments of 8 modules or less: the incoming cables should be firmly secured halfway between the top of the column and the incoming line compartment terminals.
For full-line (24 modules) incoming line compartments: the cables should be braced every 300 mm if the system’s available short circuit current is less than 42,000 amperes rms symmetrical. If the system’s available short circuit current is greater than or equal to 42,000 amperes rms symmetrical, current bracing should occur every 150 mm.
c. Check the integrity of all field connections.
Recommended torque values not found on individual devices can be found on the unit wiring diagrams.
d. Check field wired connections made to the MCC.
Refer to wiring diagrams and verify that proper clearances between adjacent phases and/or phases to PE are being maintained.
8. Verify the voltage and kilowatt ratings on the motor correspond with the MCC unit ratings.
9. Verify that proper overload relays are installed and/or adjusted to relative full load current shown on the motor rating nameplate.
10. For applications requiring power fuses, install fuses in fusible switches in accordance with application requirements.
Do not apply grease or NO-OX-ID to fuse ferrules.
11. For circuit breaker applications, verify that the circuit breakers are in accordance with application requirements, and have correct amperage and trip settings.
High efficiency motors can have higher locked rotor and inrush currents, which require higher magnetic trip settings.
ATTENTION: Rockwell Automation AC drives and soft starter units are shipped with preset factory settings such as ramp speed, current limits, switch positions, and readouts. Preset factory settings are not suitable for some applications. Refer to instruction manuals, supplied with the MCC, for specific start-up guidance.
12. Set and verify adjustable current, voltage and other settings, according to device instructions or wiring diagrams.
Refer to the device instruction sheets or manuals supplied with the MCC for specific start-up guidance.
Component devices in MCC units (such as transfer switches, power factor correction capacitors, transducers, motor protectors, line monitors, over and under-voltage relays, and motor windings heaters) can require unique start-up procedures.

TIP
13. Manually exercise all switches, control auxiliary switches, circuit breakers, their respective operators, unit interlocks, trip mechanisms (test by pushing the Push to Trip button) and any other operating mechanisms to verify proper operation.
14. Check timing relay settings as required.
15. Verify vents are free from obstructions.
16. Check that fans used for forced air cooling have:
a. Shafts that rotate freely b. Blades with no dust or debris build-up
17. Check that all filters are in place and clean.
We recommend that you set up an inhouse program for scheduled cleaning or replacement.
18. Check all current transformers for proper polarity.
Verify transformer secondaries are NOT open, and are either connected to their respective devices or shorted. Reference individual unit wiring diagrams and schematics for proper installation.
ATTENTION: Current transformer secondaries should not be “open.” To avoid possible injury and electrical shock to personnel, do not energize a current transformer with its secondary open.
19. Ver i f y all barriers and parts removed during the installation process have been reinstalled.
We recommend that a barrier checklist is developed including such items as, unit location, and barrier location. This checklist should be saved for future reference.
20. Before closing the enclosure and/or individual units, remove all tools, metal chips, scrap wire, and other debris from the MCC interior.
If there is an accumulation of dust or dirt, clean out the MCC by using a brush, vacuum cleaner, or a clean, lint-free rag. DO NOT use compressed
air—it redistributes contaminates on other surfaces.
21. Verify all withdrawable units are in the Connected position.
Close and latch unit and wireway doors, ensuring that wires are not pinched. Column closing plates must be in place.
ATTENTION: When conducting an electrical insulation resistance test, isolate equipment sensitive to high test voltages, such as meters, solid state devices, motor winding heaters, capacitor units, and transformers.
70 Rockwell Automation Publication 2500-IN001C-EN-P - April 2014
Commissioning Chapter 7
22. Conduct an electrical insulation resistance test to verify MCC wiring integrity. Conduct this test with an insulation resistance (megger) tester with a potential of 500…1000 volts.
ATTENTION: Verify all switches or circuit breakers are in the OPEN/I or Off/O positions before conducting an electrical resistance test.
Conduct this megger test phase-to-phase, phase-to-PE and, when applicable, phase-to-neutral on the MCC buswork. Typical insulation resistance values are 50 megohms or greater.
Insulation resistance values are affected by temperature, humidity, or dampness, which can cause a considerably lower insulation resistance reading. If the insulation resistance values are less than one megohm (due to dampness, temperature or humidity) or the MCC has been stored in a damp or humid area, it is recommended the equipment be dried out. Dry out motor cables by injecting a low voltage current or by using space heaters.
Once the equipment is dry, repeat the insulation resistance test. The minimum value for insulation resistance on a new installation at startup or energizing is 1 megohm. These readings can be recorded in Megger
Reading Recording Table on page 94.

Commissioning Procedure

Next, check the field wiring, for example, motor cables and/or incoming line cables.
ATT EN TI ON : Commissioning a motor control center must be done only by skilled personnel with proper personal protective equipment. Energizing a MCC for the first time is potentially dangerous. Serious damage and/or personal injury can occur. Follow local codes and guidelines in addition to the requirements of EN 50110.
ATT EN TI ON : This procedure is provided as a general guideline for energizing a newly installed CENTERLINE 2500 MCC and should be used only after the

TIP
4. Energize the MCC remote power source.
If the MCC has a main circuit breaker or disconnect switch that can be operated from a remote location, energizing from the remote location is strongly recommended.
If the MCC main circuit breaker or disconnect switch cannot be energized from a remote location, follow the procedure below.
De-energize the remote power source
Close MCC main disconnect or circuit breaker switch.
Re-energize the MCC remote power source.
ATTENTION: Main switch handles should be operated with a firm, direct motion into the closed (ON/I) position.
5. Energize from the source of the system, working toward the loads.
Energize one unit at a time, beginning with control units then feeder units.
6. Fully withdrawable units can be commissioned in the Test position.
This position helps allow control and network connections to be tested without engaging three phase power.
See Chapter 6, Install and Remove Units
for more information on
operating positions.
7. After the disconnect devices have been closed, loads such as lighting circuits, motor starters, and contactors can be energized.
a. When power factor correction capacitors are energized with the motor
windings and the start-up procedure requires that the respective motors be jogged or inched, temporarily disconnect the power factor correction capacitors. For more information on power factor capacitors and MCC units, contact your local Rockwell Automation Representative.
b. Verify that acceleration times are within application specifications.
Excessive starting currents and/or acceleration times can cause inverse time circuit breakers, power fuses, overload relays and other components to overheat and/or shut down equipment.
8. Verify meters, including voltmeters and ammeters, are working properly.
9. Reset device settings that were adjusted during installation and
commissioning to appropriate operational settings.

EtherNet/IP Motor Control Centers

Basic information is provided in the following sections. For additional information, refer to CENTERLINE 2500 Motor Control Centers with EtherNet/IP Network, publication 2500-TD003
.

Connection Count

The EtherNet/IP network can accommodate a vast number of nodes. The EtherNet/IP network does not have a specific maximum number of nodes like other fieldbus networks. The limit is based on the number of connections the EtherNet/IP scanner can make.
To estimate the number of connections a network uses, visit
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/solutions/integrated architecture/ resources3.html for our EtherNet/IP Capacity Tool.

Cable Length Limitations

The EtherNet/IP network uses fiber or copper twisted-pair wiring. The maximum length of copper twisted-pair wiring is 100 m between devices. There is no cumulative length for the entire network. Fiber cable length varies by cable design. Inside the MCC, all cables are copper twisted-pair.
The 100 m maximum length must account for Ethernet cable inside the column. To help determine cable lengths for your application, each MCC is shipped with documentation identifying the cable length used within the MCC. This cable length must be added to the length between the Grace port and the externally-connected device.
Rockwell Automation Publication 2500-IN001C-EN-P - April 2014 77
Chapter 9 IntelliCENTER Options
IMPORTANT

Cable Routing

Each EtherNet/IP network has one or two Stratix 6000™ switches typically mounted in the top horizontal wireway in the standard configuration. The number of switches depends on the number of units in the column. Cables connected to the switch are then routed to EtherNet/IP devices in the column. Up to 12 EtherNet/IP ports can be provided in each CENTERLINE 2500 column.
In a standard MCC column, the vertical network wireway has EtherNet/IP connections equal to the number of units (up to 12) for that column. Devices that require 24V DC to power up must have it supplied through pins B4 and B5 in the control plug.
Pins B4 and B5 in the control plug are reserved for 24V DC power; avoid using for other reasons.
Connection to the EtherNet/IP network and the control plug is made when a unit is in the Connected or Test position.
Adding or removing a unit from the EtherNet/IP system does not interrupt the operation of other units in the system.

Ethernet Power Supply

Many EtherNet/IP components require 24V DC power source to operate. The power supply must be EtherNet/IP compatible as specified in the ODVA requirements.
Power supplies that do not satisfy both points listed above can result in damage to the EtherNet/IP signal and components, as well as failure to comply with local codes and inspection.
A power supply unit that meets EtherNet/IP requirements can be supplied with the MCC. A cable connects the output of the power supply to pins C3 and C4 of the control plug in the network wireway. This cable is already connected when the power supply unit ships installed in the MCC. Redundant configurations are also available.

Connecting Power Supplies–Remote or in the MCC Lineup

Connect power supplies according to guidelines to minimize voltage drops in the EtherNet/IP system while providing proper supply voltage to system devices. Refer to the Converged Plant-wide Ethernet Design and Implementation Guide,
ENET-TD001
, for detailed connecting instructions.

Network Power Supply and the Protective Earth Circuit

The EtherNet/IP network is grounded at the various components via the component ground. Therefore, no further grounding needs to be connected to the Ethernet cables.
Do not connect the 24V DC common in the power supply bucket to the PE. Doing so violates the grounding guidelines for the various EtherNet/IP components.

Connecting Two Power Supplies

Install an additional 24V DC Class 1 power supply for MCC lineups with 14 or more columns. When using two supplies, provide a break between the two 24V DC networks. Locate the appropriate break for the two networks and verify the terminal blocks are not connected between these two columns.

After the terminating resistors have been installed, DeviceNet cables in each column of the network must be spliced together.
Follow these procedures to join the DeviceNet cables.
1. Locate the DeviceNet splicing cable in the top horizontal wireway.
One end of the splicing cable is plugged into the right DeviceNet port in the column to the left of the splice.
2. Route the cable through the top horizontal wireway into the column to the right of the splice.

4. Torque connector screws on the splicing cable plugs to 0.55 N•m.
5. Verify the horizontal wireway is free of tools and debris.
6. Replace horizontal wireway covers.

DeviceNet Power Supply

The DeviceNet cable system requires a 24V DC power source to operate. The power supply must be DeviceNet compatible as specified in the ODVA requirements.
Power supplies that do not satisfy both points above can result in damage to the DeviceNet signal and components, as well as failure to comply with local codes and inspection.
A power supply unit that meets DeviceNet requirements can be supplied with the MCC. A cable connects the output of the power supply to a DeviceNet port in the control and network wireway. This cable is already connected when the power supply unit ships installed in the MCC. Redundant configurations are also available.

Connecting Power Supplies–Remote or in the MCC Line-Up

Connect power supplies according to these guidelines to minimize voltage drops in the DeviceNet system and ensure proper supply voltage to system devices. Refer to the Media Design Installation Guide, DNET-UM072
, for detailed
connecting instructions.

Network Power Supply and the Protective Earth Circuit

The DeviceNet cable must be connected to the PE circuit at only one location. The ideal choice is at the power supply. Connect the power supply and 24V DC common (black wire) to the PE circuit by using #8 AWG wire.
Best PE Practice
If the power supply comes installed in the MCC, the black 24V DC common terminal is connected to the PE within the unit.
To improve the connection, use #8 AWG green wire and ground the black 24V DC common terminal to a very stable PE external to the MCC or to an optional true earth (TE) connection inside the MCC.
If the power supply is external, the same recommendations apply.

Connecting Two Power Supplies

An additional 24V DC Class 1 power supply must be installed for MCC line-ups with more than 14 columns. When using two supplies, the red conductor between the power supplies must be broken. Locate a linking connector between columns and disconnect the red conductor.

MCC line-ups with more than 14 columns could exceed the 75 m trunk length limit to support 500 kbps communications. When the trunk length exceeds this limit, 250 kbps communications should be specified.

Electronic Data Sheets (EDS)

This section applies to any MCC with IntelliCENTER software installed on a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP network.
After IntelliCENTER software is installed, an electronic data sheet (EDS) must be registered for each unique device in the MCC. This section details how to perform that task.

Overview

EDS files are simple text files used by network configuration tools—such as RSNetWorx™, RSLogix 5000, or IntelliCENTER software—to help identify products and easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe a product’s device type, version, and configurable parameters on a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP network.

Where to Find EDS Files

The IntelliCENTER data CD has a directory (<cdrom>:\<order>\<item>\EDS) that contains the EDS files necessary for the devices in your IntelliCENTER MCC. The EDS files are automatically registered by the installation program.
An “EDS file” CD is provided that contains EDS files for all DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP products found in MCCs.
