Smartlink SI B Gateway
Introduction
The Smartlink SI B gateway has seven digital channels (24 Vdc) and one analog channel (4...20 mA or
0...10 Vdc) and can be connected to the devices in the Acti9 range equipped with a Ti24 interface. The
data can be transmitted from the Smartlink SI B gateway to a PLC or a supervision system via a
Modbus TCP/IP protocol.
The Smartlink SI B gateway channels can also be used to transmit standardized I/O. The Smartlink SI B
gateway can also therefore communicate with devices (not in the Acti9 range) with or without a Ti24 link.
The devices which can be connected to the Smartlink SI B gateway include:
Acti9 products: control switch for iACT24 contactors and iATL24 impulse relays, iC60 iOF+SD24
indication auxiliary, C60 OF+SD24 indication auxiliary, RCA iC60 remote control with Ti24 interface,
Reflex iC60 integrated control circuit breaker with Ti24 interface.
Meters: iEM2000T or other meters (Schneider Electric or other manufacturers) in compliance with IEC
62053-21 (minimum pulse 30 ms).
Any product (not in the Acti9 range) that has command and control information: 2 discrete 24 V outputs
and 1 discrete 24 V input.
PowerTag energy sensors.
Any product using analog output (4...20 mA or 0...10 V).
The Smartlink SI B gateway is an intermediary between the supervisor and various electrical appliances.
It can therefore be used to retrieve and process data received from devices and also control them. The
functions available depend on the type of connected devices.
The functions of Smartlink SI B gateway are described in Smartlink SI B Function
(see page 96)

Smartlink SI B Gateway Acting as a PowerTag Concentrator
The PowerTag auxiliaries provide compact and high density metering solution with rich and accurate data
for building systems (that can send energy, power, current, voltage, and power factor to Smartlink
concentrator every 5 seconds). Tagging a circuit breaker with PowerTag allows you to monitor any
electrical device with high flexibility (for example, you can add PowerTag energy sensors after the lastminute changes in the distribution board).
The PowerTag energy sensors provide an advanced alarm on load level of each phase to monitor and
balance the loads, and sends an alarm if the electrical device is down.
The Smartlink SI B gateway behaves as a data concentrator to collect information from digital, analog,
wireless auxiliaries, and downstream Modbus devices. The Smartlink SI B gateway provides monitoring
and control of the digital switchboard over Modbus TCP for upstream software and via embedded
webpages. The addition of new wireless auxiliaries provides affordable metering with panel size
optimization.

Architecture of Smartlink System
NOTE: While using PowerTag M250/630 energy sensors, the power and energy will be signed correctly if
the device is mounted on the circuit breaker at the bottom position with a Top feeding. Any other
configuration can lead to inverted value.
Principle of Wireless Device Installation
The Smartlink SI B gateway is installed in such a manner that the PowerTag energy sensors are
distributed around the concentrator. It is recommended to install the Smartlink SI B gateway in the center
of the switchboard for maximum data quality.
For example, when the switchboard is partitioned, and if you have three-column switchboard with
PowerTag energy sensors in each column, then install the Smartlink SI B gateway in the central cubicle.
For more than three columns of 650 mm in the same switchboard, add one Smartlink SI B gateway for
every three sections.
The system is compatible with Prisma Plus enclosure (form1 and form2), Prisma iPM form 1, Pragma, and
plastic final distribution enclosures. The distance between the concentrator and PowerTag energy sensors
should be smaller than 3 meters.
NOTE: For a good quality of radio frequency signal, it is recommended to install the PowerTag energy
sensors in the same switchboard.
DOCA0123EN-04 09/202023
Architecture of Smartlink System
Maximum Number of PowerTag Energy Sensors in an Electrical Room
The wireless network configuration is used for special applications like data centers and high density
metering applications. In standard building applications, use the default settings.
At data centers, thousands of PowerTag energy sensors are placed in the same environment. Therefore,
it is necessary to consider the radio plan and bandwidth, in order to:
dispatch all the PowerTag energy sensors among the 16 available radio channels. It is recommended
to dispatch the Smartlink SI B gateways among the 16 channels using the manual channel selection in
this section.
use as many PowerTag energy sensors as possible in the same radio channel to increase the number
of points without decreasing the radio quality.
Following are the recommendations to slow down the communication period of the PowerTag energy
sensors that are in the same channel, to avoid overloading the bandwidth:
Up to 100 PowerTag energy sensors by radio channel: communication period to be set to 5 seconds
Up to 200 PowerTag energy sensors by radio channel: communication period to be set to 10 seconds
Up to 400 PowerTag energy sensors by radio channel: communication period to be set to 20 seconds
Up to 600 PowerTag energy sensors by radio channel: communication period to be set to 30 seconds
Up to 1200 PowerTag energy sensors by radio channel: communication period to be set to 60
seconds
Any modification to the communication period has to be done after the commissioning of the PowerTag
energy sensors is completed to avoid slowdown of the commissioning process.
NOTE: Modification in communication period does not slowdown the alarms. The voltage loss is sent
immediately on demand. The communication period is used to send regular metering data (P, U, I, E, PF),
not voltage loss alarms.
NOTE:
The radio channel is chosen in the wireless settings of Smartlink SI B gateway and is applied to all the
PowerTag energy sensors that are commissioned with Smartlink SI B gateway.
An Smartlink SI B gateway can manage up to 20 PowerTag energy sensors.
Several Smartlink SI B gateways can use the same radio channel to communicate with PowerTag
energy sensors.
A set of Smartlink SI B gateways has to be installed and commissioned to concentrate all the needed
PowerTag energy sensors.

Architecture of Smartlink System
Devices with Analog Output
Overview
All sensors (compliant with IEC 61000-6-2 and IEC61000-6-3 standards) using 24 Vdc as power supply
input and 0...10 V or 4...20 mA output can be connected to the Smartlink SI B gateway analog inputs
(female analog connector is delivered with the product).
