1. Product Overview

The LVMA LMCPS2-45 Control and Protection Switch (short for CPS) is a new-generation all-in-one low-voltage combined control and protection device, replacing the traditional combination of contactor + thermal relay + circuit breaker into a single modular unit. This 3P 45A model has two optional display panels: digital LED tube screen and full LCD parameter screen, supporting adjustable rated current from 16A to 45A.

It realizes full-cycle control and multi-dimensional safety protection for three-phase asynchronous motors and general distribution loads, with built-in fire control linkage interface and RS485 Modbus-RTU communication for remote industrial IoT monitoring. Manufactured to IEC60947-6-2 and GB/T14048.9 standards, it saves cabinet space, simplifies wiring and reduces fault points, ideal for HVAC, water pump stations, manufacturing production lines and building electrical control systems.

2. Core Product Features

1. Two Optional Display Versions

  • Digital Tube Version: Cost-effective LED digital display, real-time voltage, current, fault code reading, simple physical function buttons for parameter setting
  • LCD Screen Version: Large full-color LCD display, intuitive parameter menu, up/down/OK/shift buttons, complete fault record storage, easier for complex system debugging

    Both versions share identical main circuit protection and communication functions, only differing in human-machine interaction panels.

2. All-in-One Integrated Control & Multi-Fault Protection

Single device integrates 6 core functions to replace multiple discrete electrical components:
  1. Motor start-stop control (equivalent to AC contactor)
  2. Overload / phase loss / three-phase unbalance protection (equivalent to thermal overload relay)
  3. Short-circuit instantaneous breaking protection (equivalent to MCB/MCCB)
  4. Earth leakage residual current protection
  5. Under-voltage / over-voltage loss of power protection
  6. Fire signal linkage tripping control

    All protection thresholds can be freely set via the front operation panel.

3. Wide Adjustable Current Range (16A ~ 45A)

Base rated current 45A, continuously adjustable operating current from 16A to 45A, compatible with most small and medium three-phase industrial motors, eliminating the need to stock multiple current-spec components.

4. Built-in RS485 Modbus Communication Interface

Standard 41/42 communication terminals support Modbus-RTU industrial protocol, realize remote real-time upload of voltage, current, power, fault status data to PLC, SCADA and cloud monitoring platforms, suitable for intelligent factory and building automation centralized management systems.

5. Mechanical Manual Operation Handle

Central red rotary handle with 3 gear positions: Break Off → Trip → Connect, with visible mechanical trip lock after fault action, manual reset required to restore operation to ensure maintenance safety. Independent “Re buckle” reset button for quick fault recovery.

6. Complete Auxiliary Contact Terminals

Rich isolated auxiliary signal contacts:
  • NO/NC fault feedback contacts (95/98, 41/44) for external alarm lights and buzzers
  • Fire control linkage input terminals for fire alarm system forced power cut-off
  • Control coil terminals A1/A2 for remote automatic start-stop logic control

7. Safe Standardized Structure & Certification

  • IP20 flame-retardant modular housing, standard 35mm DIN rail mounting
  • Withstand 50kA short-circuit breaking capacity, arc extinguishing internal structure
  • Fully compliant with international standard IEC60947-6-2, third-party certified for industrial safety use

3. Working Conditions

This LMCPS2-45 CPS maintains stable protection and control performance under standard indoor industrial environments:
  1. Ambient operating temperature: -10°C ~ +55°C
  2. Protection grade: IP20, only installed inside enclosed indoor distribution cabinets; not for outdoor wet, splash or dust-intensive open areas
  3. Surrounding atmosphere: No corrosive gas, flammable or conductive metal dust
  4. Altitude: Stable rated performance below 2000 meters above sea level
  5. Vibration resistance: Tolerate normal mechanical vibration of production workshops; avoid continuous strong impact
  6. Humidity: Relative humidity ≤85%, no condensation inside the device housing

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between the digital tube version and the LCD screen version?

The core main circuit, protection performance and communication function are exactly the same. The difference lies only in the display screen and operation buttons: LCD version has larger screen, complete fault memory and more intuitive parameter menu, suitable for intelligent remote monitoring projects; digital tube version is cost-effective for conventional simple motor control.

2. What is the advantage of CPS compared with separate contactor + thermal relay + circuit breaker?

CPS integrates three devices into one single modular unit, greatly reducing cabinet wiring quantity, cutting installation cost, lowering hidden wiring fault points, and unifying all protection parameters adjustable on one panel, which simplifies later maintenance and parameter debugging.

3. Does this CPS support remote monitoring through PLC?

Yes, it reserves standard RS485 communication terminals, compatible with Modbus-RTU protocol, can upload real-time voltage, current, running status and fault codes to PLC, touch screen or industrial cloud platform for remote centralized monitoring.

4. Can it realize automatic power cut-off when fire alarm signal is received?

It reserves dedicated fire control linkage terminals. After receiving the fire alarm signal, the CPS will immediately trip and cut off the motor load circuit to meet fire safety power-off requirements.

5. What faults can this CPS protect against?

It provides full protection covering overload, three-phase phase loss, current unbalance, short-circuit instantaneous trip, residual earth leakage, overvoltage and undervoltage loss of power. All protection current thresholds can be manually set on the front panel.

6. Is DIN rail mounting supported?

Yes, the whole machine adopts standard 35mm DIN rail modular structure, which can be directly snapped onto the distribution cabinet guide rail without additional fixing brackets, fast and convenient to install.
