Using MPS Explorer

Software Overview

The MPS Explorer software allows users to access settings and data on Modular
Protection Systems (MPS) for motors. The 825-P connects to a PC via the serial
communications port (Port F) on the front face where settings can be configured.
Real-time monitoring of metering data and diagnostic information can also be
viewed on the front face. The data that is collected can be exported for analysis

in other software, such as Microsoft Excel. Graphical output, ranging from pilot
lights to gauges and time plots, can be modified for a specific application.

MPS Explorer software is available for download at:

http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Circuit-and-Load-Protection/Motor-
Protection/Bulletin-825P#/tab4

To install the software, download the Windows Installer Package file (.msi) and
follow the prompts to the MPS Explorer Wizard.

Communications Settings

The communications settings can be accessed from the MPS > Communications
Settings

menu. When configuring these settings, it is critical that they match the

settings on the front panel of the 825-P for Port-F.
