ABB MNS iS motor control center System guide
ABB’s innovative MNS iS concept combines the long term experience, energy efficiency, grid reliability and industrial productivity of the well known MNS system with advanced design in hardware and software technologies.
MNS iS system overview MNS iS – Value inside
High protection and safety
MNS iS and its clear segregation of power and
control compartments offers highest personal
system and supervision safety possibilities.
Standarcization
Maximum simplicity due to standardized powe
modules-fullyassembled and ready to use for
a wide range of motor starter and energy
distribution modules.
Lower lifecycle costs
These are defined in three ways; less downtime,
less fault finding and less inventory.
Information variety
MNS iS offers latest HMl technology,remote
management,innovative plug and produce
technclogy and real time plant condition
monitoring.
Pro-active maintenance
MNS iS with Condition Monitoring indicates
conditions before a failure occurs,enabling
pro-active maintenance possibilities
User friendliness
MNS iS provides integrated user tasks, like
module supervision,lifecycle management
contact temperature supervision and
power loss supervision.
Less engineeringcomplexity
MNS iS is the easiest way to plan,engineer and
manage a low voltage switchgear system.
Proiectimplementation
MNS is helps you to reduce your project costs by
offering a shorter project duration due to high
standardization and reduced engineering
complete solution
ABB offers the possibility to provide an all in
one solution when MNS iS is used in conjunction
with other power and automation technologies
from ABB.

MNS iS retains the best of MNS technology and
evolves it into the next level of operational
handling benefits for customers’ low voltage
motor control center applications.
The distinct elements in MNS is are:
Flexible control modules
Scalable for basic to complex motor starter types,
protection functions and field input/output
signal reguirements.
Integratedcontrolschematics
Allstarterlevelinterlocking scheme between
Power and control part operational safety
Physically separated and independent
operational handling of power and
control parts.
control and power module is built in.
No hardwiring orinput/output assignment
reguired.The control schematic is reduced to
assigning field l/O signal contacts only.
Standard power modules
Fully assembled, ready to use and offered for
a wide range of motor starter and energy
distribution modules.
MNS iS motor control center solution delivers
all the functions for control, protection and
monitoring ofthe motors and motor starters
using software and hardware modules for the
specific tasks.Right information is provided to
the right people at the right time.
Module and location supervision are available
as a standard.These functions ensure the
corresponding power and control modules are
installed to the correct location for the particular
motor/feeder application.
Maintenance functions are an integral part of
Hardware modules are designed to fulfill desired
tasks(power module containing electrical parts
e.g.toisolate power,control module containing
software applications etc.to control a motor)
System functions are provided as functional
modules to be downloaded to the control module
Only required functions are downloaded while
others are available as options.

they are really required.
The flexibility ofthe system allows modifications

system inherent functions and tools.
Time synchronization with a time server in the
plant orlocallyin the switchboard allows accurate
time stamps of alarms and events collected in the
control module.
