Configuring an MCC
1. The Start Workup screen will appear. The button next to Create a new
MCC Workup should already be selected. If it is not, select it and click
OK.
The MCC setup sheet window appears as shown below. This window is used
to apply the general MCC specifications and enter order information. There
are also tabs for unit specifications so that the user does not have to re-enter
the same options for each unit required.
NOTE: Use the mouse or tab key to move within fields in a window.

Customer Information
1. Click on the Customer Information tab if it is not already displayed.
NOTE: The information entered here will show up in strategic places
on documents and drawings to help identify this workup for later use.
2. Enter the following setup instructions on the MCC Setup Sheet in the
designated fields:
Project: Acme Manufacturing
MCC Name: Cooling System MCC
Equipment Type: Sections with Units Installed
Standards: United States
NOTE: Making this choice alerts configuring software to edit based on
U.S. codes and standards.
For this lab, optional information fields will be left blank.
CenterONE Software
For Class 1 Wiring Type, enter B-T Control and Power Terminal Blocks.
NOTE: This will specify the wiring type that will be used on all units in
the MCC.
Wiring diagrams for each unit can be located in a pocket inside the unit or can
be collected and centrally stored in the bottom of one of the sections. One
exception to this would be if there is no room to store documents, such as in a
0.5 space factor (SF) unit. If there are 0.5 SF units in the workup, then select
either centrally located or inside each unit AND centralized. The latter
description means that for units 1.0 SF or larger, the wiring diagrams will be
stored in the unit, while all wiring diagrams for 0.5 SF units will be stored in a
centralized location.
For Diagram Location, select Wiring Diagram within Each Unit.
CENTERLINE MCCs are available in two heights 71 in. and 90 in. Select
the 90 in. height.
MCCs can be ordered in back-to-back configurations when they are to stand as
an island in the middle of the floor. Typically, MCCs are mounted with their
backs to the wall.
CenterONE Software
There are a number of different enclosure types that can be specified. These
are all assigned a NEMA designation:
NEMA 1 can be used for atmospherically controlled areas.
NEMA 1G has gasket material around the doors of the units but no
gasketing around wireways or between MCC sections.
NEMA 12 is fully gasketed to prevent ingress of dust.
For Enclosure Type, enter 12Fully Gasketed with Bottom Plates.
Ignore the Space Heaters and Mounting Channel fields at the bottom of the
screen for this lab exercise.
CenterONE Software
Incoming Power
1. Click on the Incoming Power tab.
2. Leave the Line Voltage at the default setting, 480 Volts/60 Hertz. (If
desired, click on the drop down menu to see all the combinations
available.)
Available Fault Current is the maximum current that could possibly flow
through this MCC in the case of fault. In most cases, this fault is directly
related to the characteristics of the transformer that is supplying this MCC.
IMPORTANT
3. On the Incoming Power tab, enter 27000 as the Available Fault Current
in the designated fields.
Main Bus Bracing represents the maximum current that the power busses in
the MCC can withstand without physical damage. During the short period of a
fault, tremendous magnetic forces are experienced by the MCC. An MCC with
an insufficient bus bracing will sustain damage during a fault that might require
replacement of some or all of the equipment. Note that the values of the Main
Bus Bracing and Available Fault Current constitute a belt-and-suspenders
approach to specifying the correct bus.
When specifying a bus bracing strength, choose the next highest withstand
rating above the available fault current. The minimum bus bracing of 42,000
Amperes will suffice for a fault current of 27,000 A.
For Main Bus Bracing, enter 42kA (rms symmetrical).
CenterONE Software
The MCC Connection Type allows the user to specify how the MCC is
connected to the line power. If a disconnect is desired, it can be either a fused
or circuit breaker type. If another disconnecting means is nearby, the power
cables may be landed directly on incoming lugs without a disconnect. If this
MCC is an addition to an existing MCC, the bus bars will be spliced together
and the termination of incoming lines does not need to be specified. In this
exercise, a circuit breaker will be specified for the main disconnect.
For MCC Connection Type, enter Main Circuit Breaker.
NOTE: No neutral bus (for four-wire systems) will be specified in this
lab.
Bus Work
1. Click on the Bus Work tab.
The Main Bus is the horizontal bus that runs through the middle of all MCC
sections to distribute power. Inside each section there is a vertical bus that
distributes power to all the units within one section.
The Main Bus Rating is a measure of the full load capacity of the horizontal
bus under normal operating conditions. This is different from the fault
capacity entered earlier.
2. Click on the pull-down menu to reveal standard Ampere capacities
available.
3. Enter 800A for the Main Bus Rating in the designated fields within the
Bus Work tab.

Unit Specifications
1. Click on the Unit Specifications tab.
The data on this page is used for any new units created after the information is
entered. It is possible to set a certain group of general unit options, enter all
the units with those options, and then go back and change the general options.
Units created after the change would have the new options characteristics.
Units created before the change would be unaffected.
The choices for the type of disconnects are fused disconnects or circuit
breaker disconnects. Select the type of disconnects for units.
2. Enter the following setup instructions in the designated fields.
For Disconnect Type, enter Circuit Breaker.
In addition to having a Master Nameplate for the whole MCC, individual
nameplates are available for the door of each unit. The standard nameplate is a
cardholder similar to what is often seen on the face of file drawers. Custom
engraved nameplates can be ordered in a variety of options.
For Nameplate Type, enter Cardholder.
Rockwell Automation offers a wide variety of overload protection for motors.
Protection can include anything from the simplest eutectic thermal overloads
to the latest solid state overload relays with built-in DeviceNet.
Note that several options may seem incomplete, such as eutectic overloads
without heaters or provision for SMP-1 or 2. At the MCC ordering stage, it is
CenterONE Software
13
often difficult to determine the exact size the overload should be. Different
brands or types of motors with the same horsepower rating can have varying
full load or inrush current characteristics. Therefore, the final decision on
overloads may be delayed until the MCC is delivered and the actual motor data
is known.
Current ranges on electronic overloads can be adjusted (or programmed) in
the field. These overloads (SMP and E3) usually may be specified to cover a
wide variety of motors. Therefore, SMPs and E3s may be ordered before the
final motor data is known.
For Overload Relay, enter E3 Plus (E3 Plus solid state overload relay). Also,
make sure that the External Reset Button box is not checked.
Separate control or common control is available for the control circuit power.
A higher capacity transformer is available if unit heaters, extra pilot lights, or
other control-power-consuming devices require additional power.
For Control Type, enter Transformer with Secondary Fuse (transformer
control type with a standard capacity transformer and primary fuse protection
for the transformer).
For Control Wiring, enter #16 AWG Cu, Type MTW.
The ground stab is the part of the plug-in unit that grounds the unit chassis.
The plug-in ground stab is a first-make, last-break design. A heavier design
(solid copper stab) is available.
For Ground Stab, enter Copper Alloy (standard).

CenterONE Software
There are ten (10) option categories to choose from. At this point no specific
units (e.g. starters, drives, or feeders) have been specified. CenterONE
software will use the information on this page to pre-load options when units
are being specified. CenterONE software will also put the appropriate option on
the units. For example, PLC-specific options will not be applied to starters and
vice-versa.
Notice that of the ten option categories, only Relays appears bold when this
window is first viewed. As options are specified in the different categories, the
categories will show up as bold to indicate to the user that an option has been
chosen in this category.
Why is Relays bold when no options have been specified? By choosing the
E-3 solid state overload relay on the previous tab, certain relay options have
already been specified. If the eutectic overload had been chosen, this category
would not appear in bold type.
One normally open (N. O.) auxiliary contact is supplied on a standard starter.
This contact is used as the hold-in for the starter. The E3 has inputs to
CenterONE Software
15
monitor the status of contacts as well. Therefore, a second N.O. contact will be
added to the contactor to provide feedback to the E3.
16
CenterONE Software
Notice the Aux Contact button appears in the lower right corner of the
window. Use this button to configure the number and type of auxiliary
contacts to be added.
Notice that the Auxiliary Contacts heading is now bold like the Relays
heading. Any starter or contactor unit that is added to the lineup from this
point on will have an additional N.O. contact on the relay.
It is also possible to put a contact on the disconnect switch, either on the
circuit breaker or the fusible disconnect. Earlier it was specified that circuit
breaker disconnects will be used. Circuit breaker disconnects can be either
auxiliary contact mounted internal to the breaker or externally on the
disconnect mechanism.

Specifying Units
Once the MCC setup is complete, units may be specified. Three windows
associated with our MCC (Cooling System) appear:
Layout
Spreadsheet
Unit
1. Click on the header of each window to view the contents of each page.
Notice that there is no information on any of the three windows. That is
because no units have been added yet.
2. At the Unit: Cooling System MCC window, click New. The Add New
Unit window appears.
This window allows the user to select the type of unit to be added to the MCC
line. Notice that there is a message flashing at the top of the window: Main
Device not Selected. It is good practice to specify the main disconnect unit
first.

22
CenterONE Software
3. Click the button next to Mains and click OK. The Step 2 of 2
window for specifying mains appears.
In the first section of this window, Unit Type, the user is asked to specify a
type of main unit. Remember that when the incoming power was specified,
Main Circuit Breaker was specified.
Enter the following data in the designated fields.
For Unit Type, enter Main 3-Pole Circuit Breaker.
The Frame Rating for the breaker already has been chosen to match the 800A
bus capacity that was specified earlier. Verify that the Frame Rating is 800A.
For Trip Current, enter 800A.
For Lugs for Incoming Lines, enter Standard (default setting).
An incoming main is not a plug-in unit. The connections from the main to the
horizontal bus must be able to carry the full-rated amperage of the MCC.
Therefore, main disconnects bolt directly to the horizontal bus. Since the main
cannot be moved, its position in the MCC (actually in the section) must be
specified. Specify top or bottom by clicking the appropriate button. There is
no additional charge for either location.
For Mounting, enter Top.
4. Click OK to accept the new main circuit breaker.
5. Click OK to close the message window.
The Unit window, which was previously blank, now contains information
about the main. Notice that at the top of the window there is a unit ID number
CenterONE Software
23
and description. If the main was created as the first unit, it should have an ID
number of 1. The description is MCB. The complete description of the
MCB is shown at the bottom of the Unit window.
6. Click on the other two windows that are open (Layout and Spreadsheet).
Notice that there is now information about this first unit on all three
windows.
7. Go back to the Unit window to add more units.
8. Click on New, then select Contactors and Starters (but not IEC) and
click OK. Choose FVNR (Full Voltage Non-Reversing) starter from the
pull down menu.
9. Enter the following information in the designated fields.
For Qty., enter 11.
For Disconnect Type, enter Circuit Breaker.
For Horsepower, enter 5 HP.
Eleven (11) of these FVNR units in the 5 HP size now will be created. The
disconnect has defaulted to circuit breaker based on earlier input for global

Once all the units in the MCC have been specified, the next step is to lay out
the units inside the MCC.
1. Click on the Layout: Cooling System MCC window. Across the bottom
of the window is a row of boxes (created in the previous exercises) that
represents all the units in the MCC.
2. Scroll this window down to see the various sizes of the units. Note that
some of the units and drives are very big.

2. Next, click and drag the FCB in the top of the sixth section to the top of
the seventh section. Note that it is not necessary to precisely locate the
FCB. If the pointer is close enough, the unit will snap into place.
3. Now use the blank door to fill in the open space in section 6.
All the units in the MCC can be relocated in this manner. If an overload
condition exists in one section, units in that section may be moved easily.

4. Upon making the above selection, the quantity will appear as 1 and
circuit breaker will be selected as the disconnect type.
5. Click OK.
A DeviceNet network typically requires a scanner (or a communication bridge)
to make the data on the network available to controllers on other networks.
A DCS system, for example, would need a means to communicate
with this MCC.
For this example, the simplest network interface will be used. A CNDN
(ControlNet to DeviceNet) bridge is a device that makes information from the
MCC units on DeviceNet available to a ControlNet network. There is no
programmable logic processor module. The CNDN receives commands via
ControlNet (from a remote PLC or DCS) and passes them through to the
DeviceNet network in the MCC.
1. To add a CNDN, go the Units window.

7. Click on Utilities and Auto Layout (remember to put the main breaker
on the left) to add these two units to the structure. Notice that the two
new units have been added, but all the blank doors are gone and there
are open spaces. Leave these spaces blank for now.
Fatal Errors
Run Final Edit again, by clicking on the blue check mark icon in the toolbar.
The next string of messages are all listed in red, meaning that they are fatal
errors that must be corrected before CenterONE can finish the MCC line-up.
See illustration at top of next page. All except one of the errors in the fatal
error list relate to unassigned node addresses on DeviceNet. The exception is
the first error message that indicates at least one feeder circuit breaker unit in
the top half of section number 6 must be moved if we are not to overload the
vertical power bus in that section.
Remember how you handled that kind of move, earlier in this exercise? Click
and hold on the topmost FCB unit in section number 4 and drag that unit to
the currently unused location at the top of section number 7. Release and drop
the FCB unit there in section 7.

2. Click on Select All. De-select the Refresh from Server choice, located
to the right of Wiring Diagrams. Your Report Generator dialog should
then look like this.
NOTE: Because the lab computers are not connected to the Internet,
the Wiring Diagram retrieval (Refresh from Server) will not be able to
be done in the lab. If you are doing this CenterONE software tutorial at
a computer where you do have an active Internet connection, you may
choose to have Refresh from Server remain selected. How your outputs
differ will be described below.
3. Click OK at the upper right of the Report Generator dialog.
NOTE: It is possible that a previous user created an Output Folder
with the same name as yours and that it has some of their reports in it. If
you see an advisory message that there are existing reports in the
specified folder, Click Yes, to overwrite them with your reports. Because
this is only a tutorial, there will be no reason to save those old report
outputs.
You should then see your selected reports being generated, on the
screen. This may take a few moments. When that is finished, you should
see an advisory message that all selected reports and files have been
generated.
4. Click Yes, to go to your Reports folder. There you should see listed
several Word documents and some other file type outputs. To get an
idea for how these relate to your workup, double click on the document
named 002_MCC_Overview.doc. This should open that document in
Word for Windows. Notice that this document, which might be
considered an important part of a Request for Quote for this MCC, lists
the exact parameters you specified for NEMA enclosure type and
available fault current (in paragraph 1.0 General)the section depth
in paragraph 2.0, your incoming line unit type in paragraph 3.0, etc.

For any units that are new to our system (due to their having a unique
combination of options, not previously configured, for example) but which
can be configured in the CenterONE application software, a request for the
wiring diagrams will prompt our file server to pass that request back into the
Rockwell Automation system. There, the needed wiring diagram(s) will be
created and sent out to our secure public server for your retrieval. However,
please be prepared to wait about 24 hours in those instances, before you will
be able to retrieve those newly-made diagrams.
It is not necessary to have a full working installation of AutoCAD just to view
or print these *.dwg files. An AutoCAD viewer called Volo View Express
is available for download at no charge, from the Autodesk web site. Go to

to find Volo View Express available for download.
009_OneLine.SCR Do not try to open this output directly. This is a
script file created by the CenterONE Report Generator, for use in
creating the One-Line specific to the MCC you have configured.
However, you must use fully functional AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT to
run that script and to get the one-line output. Instructions on how to set
up your AutoCAD to do this are included in CenterONE software Help,
