Product range

Smart auxiliary and signaling devices

Combining the functions of a signaling device and an auxiliary device in a sleek, space-saving design, smart auxiliary and signaling devices can be connected to control units via a flat cable, providing a plug-and-play connection for sensors, and are compatible with most of ABB's MCB and RCD ranges. The range includes INS-S/H, which can connect to both SCU100 and SCU200. Devices are automatically detected and assigned in the webserver, providing crucial alerts and information when an adjacent switch trips.

Digital I/O modules

Digital I/O modules can connect to the InSite Control Units, SCU100 and SCU200. The range includes three devices: Input Module DM11, Output Module DM00, and Input/Output Module DM10. They are compatible with various accessories and products, including System pro M compact® accessories for MCBs and RCDs, DIN-Rail products, and pulse meters like water and gas meters. They offer versatile features, including reading contact status, activating or deactivating lines, and collecting consumption.

Connection technology

- Straightforward connection to the Control Unit, no special tools required.
- The sensors are connected to the Control Unit using a flexible flat cable and insulation displacement connectors.
- The placement of sensors can be customized to ensure precise positioning for accurate measurements.

InSite Control Unit

- The Control Unit acts as a central computing and communication hub, to access the data collected by sensors through the InSite web server.
- The SCU100 and SCU200 provide a complete solution for optimizing energy use and achieving comprehensive load management.

Main applications

Data centers

Commercial buildings

Industrial buildings

Avoid downtime through early detection of risky situations on both new and existing systems.
Quick remote information on any unusual system status and switch tripping thanks to a compact, plug-and-play, intelligent auxiliary and signaling device.
Strong responsiveness through immediate sending of alarms based on custom logic via e-mail or FTP server.

Remote access to energy data from any existing or new pulse meter with the digital pulse input module.
Ensure no unusual system conditions occur in the building by monitoring the status of critical loads and preventing circuit breakers from tripping.
Complete overview of energy use within the InSite system, which collects data on any load in the building.

Immediately identify equipment problems in the plant by monitoring switch status through standard digital inputs or smart auxiliary and signaling devices.
Ensure continuity of service by monitoring system status throughout the plant and access data remotely through the InSite energy management system, facilitating predictive maintenance.

FAQ

How many smart accessories can be connected to a single SCU100 or SCU200?

The SCU100 allows connection via InSite bus of up to 96 "points," while the SCU200 allows connection of up to 32 “points” where:

A current sensor weighs 1 point
A DMxx I/O module weighs 4 points
An INS-S/H smart contact weighs 1 point

Which ABB devices are compatible with the smart auxiliary and signaling device INS-S/H?

INS-S/H is compatible with:

MCBs S200 and S300P
RCDs F200
RCBOs DS201
AFDDs S-ARC1 and DS-ARC1
Switch disconnectors SD200

Is it possible to have historical data linked to the pulse inputs collected with a DM module?

Yes, this is possible with SCU200 starting from firmware version 1.3.

Is it possible to collect pulses from pulse meters through a DM module? What are the characteristics of the pulse contact to be read by a DM module?

Yes, this is possible: to be detected by the module, the pulse must have a minimum duration of 5ms, and the minimum time interval between two pulses must be 10ms (100Hz).
