Vigilohm System:
choosing a communication interface
the power of a
communicating system
The power of the Vigilohm System lies in the
capacity it offers for communication between
all its devices, thereby ensuring insulation
monitoring and complementary functions
such as automatic locating of faults or the
anticipation of their occurrence.
In addition, the Vigilohm System is capable
of communicating with a supervisor or a
PLC, i.e. it can both transmit data to and
receive data from such units.
The transfer of information takes place:
c via the internal Vigilohm System bus for
communication between the devices;
c via the external JBUS for communication
with a supervisor or PLC.
In both cases, the use of an internal or
external bus requires a communication
interface.
four interfaces
The Vigilohm System offers four interfaces:
c the XLI200 interface, for the transmission
of information from the insulation monitoring
device and XD308C detectors to a
supervisor or PLC via JBUS. In this way,
a PC can access information concerning
the presence of faults and the identification
of the faulty circuit. This interface cannot be
used with XL308/316 or XML308/316
devices and connects only to the XM300C
and XD308C (the XLI200 cannot be used
with XML monitoring-locating devices or with
XL locating devices).
c the XLI300 interface, for the transmission
of measurements and measurement
parameters from the XM300C and XD308C
devices to a supervisor. This interface is
used on single busbar installations. The
exclusion of other insulation monitoring
devices found on the same installation is
managed automatically;
c the XTU300 interface, for communication
between the Vigilohm System and a
supervisor, like the XLI300 interface. This
interface is required for installations with
multiple busbars and bus coupler circuit
breakers. It manages the exclusion of other
insulation monitoring devices found on the
same installation and the link between the
locators and their corresponding insulation
monitoring devices;
c the XAS interface, indispensable for the
operation of the communication bus in the
absence of one of the three other interfaces.
