Embodiment Construction

[0013] The details of one or more exemplary embodiments of the invention are described below. Since numerous modifications and alterations will be apparent to those skilled in the art herein, the disclosed embodiments are illustrative only. In the passages referring to the drawings, like numerals refer to like parts throughout the figures.

[0014] Often, electronic trip units are sold with additional functions that are not part of the standard commercial offering for electronic trip units. Traditionally, these additional features can be provided as an upgrade to the electronic trip unit and can be enabled inside the electronic trip unit before the product is shipped at the customer's request. However, if the customer wants to upgrade the function of the electronic trip unit, or wants to add different functions to the electronic trip unit that has been delivered to the customer, then there may be problems.

[0015] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide an ad...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a communication module plug-in device for an electronic trip unit including both wired and wire-less conventional communication methodologies. The device comprising a housing, the housing being structurally configured for the releasable connection to an electronic trip unit, wherein the housing further facilitates the electronic communication between the communication plug-in device and the electronic trip unit. The device also comprises a communication controller that is situated within the housing, a transceiver situated within the housing, wherein the transceiver is in communication with the communication controller, and a memory storage device situated within the housing, the memory storage device being in communication with the communication controller and the transceiver.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a circuit breaking device including an electronic trip unit, and more particularly to a plug-in module configured to extend the functional operation of the electronic trip unit. Background technique [0002] Currently, electronic trip units implemented inside circuit breakers have been used to perform several functional operations. Many electronic trip units use a microprocessor to execute commands related to monitoring and gathering system information, including information about environmental and performance criteria that may affect the circuit breaker. Since the operating performance standards of circuit breakers operating in the field may change over time, information or software required for diagnosing or updating operational functions currently configured within the microprocessor may will change. [0003] There is therefore a need for a solution in order to update the software and performance criteria informati...
