  • Page 2 By utilizing Siemens powerconfig software, the COM35 can be quickly configured for use. Once configured, the COM35 is the gateway to the breaker itself and can be used locally or remotely to configure trip unit parameters, downloading metering data, event logs, and waveforms using the powerconfig software.
  • Page 3 First: Make sure the "Write Enable" jumper is in place (between terminals 1 and 2) so that parameters can be written. To configure your COM35, you can either connect to it directly to your computer or connect it to a network to which your computer is connected.
  • Page 4 The IP addresses will be written to the COM35. To verify that the device is now accessible on the network, open a command window and use the ping command: Click on the Create devices button and the newly configured COM35 will be added to the powerconfig project:...
  • Page 5 The PN and TCP LEDs on the device will alternate flashing on and off. When finished, click on Stop Blinking (which will also be blinking). Close the Search for Accessible Devices dialog. If the COM35 is connected to a WL breaker and trip unit, parameters will be loaded into powerconfig. Click the Go Online button to access live data from the breaker.

    Prerequisite: The COM35 module is connected to a network, has an IP address and can be communicated with. Once a COM35 has been given an IP address and can be communicated with, the first step is to load the COM35 parameters to the PC.
  • Page 7 When set to be the DAS activation input and indication output, the parameters should be set as shown: Once set, the parameters must be loaded back to the COM35 to take effect. When utilizing the COM35 as the DAS activation input and status indication output by performing this configuration, it is important to understand two important points: 1) Parameter Set B (DAS or Maintenance Mode parameters) are selected when the DAS ON/OFF contact is OPEN and Parameter Set A is selected when the contact is CLOSED.
  • Page 8 2) Once configured to switch parameter sets in DAS mode, the COM35 has sole control over the active parameter set. Manual attempts to change from A to B (when in A) or B to A (when in B) will be reversed by the COM35 within 2 seconds. This includes attempts made from the front panel of the trip unit or remote selection via communications.
