Establishing Information Properties

General Different types of information contain different types of properties. To view the proper-ties associated with a specific information unit (indication, command, etc.), the user should position the mouse on the specific row associated with that ,QIRUPDWLRQ unit, and then use the right mouse button to access a menu where 3URSHUWLHV can be selected.

For example, if the cursor is positioned on a specific output indication, the right mouse button is pressed, and the menu item 3URSHUWLHV is selected, then a choice of whether the indication should appear in the oscillographic fault record (Figures 5-11,

− LED LED display on the device front panel

− Buffer E Event buffer in the device

− Buffer S Sensitive Ground fault buffer in the device (if present)

Double Point Indi-cation (DP)

In addition to the properties entered for single point indications, a “Suppress diate position” check box is available, which may be checked to suppress the interme-diate indication during operations. If this field is marked, then the filter time, which can also be set (see “Filtering/Contact Chatter Suppression“ below), is only effective for the intermediate (= undefined position) indication. Hence, briefly undefined conditions during contact chattering will not lead to a fault message; however, defined changes in the condition (final positions) are immediately reported.

Filtering / Contact Chatter Suppres-sion

For input indications (single point indications 63, double point indications '3, or Trans-former stage messages 70, if present), filter times may be entered (pickup and drop-out delays) to suppress momentary changes in potential at the binary input (e.g. con-tact chatter). Filtering occurs during an input change of state, with the same setting values whether coming or going. Information is only distributed when the new state continues to exist after a preset time interval (in milliseconds). The setting range is from 0 to 86,400,000 ms, or 24 hours. Whether or not the filter interval is restarted for each change of state during the filtering (filter re-triggering) is selectable.

It is also possible to set chatter suppression for each indication (Figure 5-13). The con-tact chatter settings, themselves, are set the same for all input indications (see Section 5.2.6).

Transformer Tap Changer (TxTap)

The transformer tap changer position is communicated, via binary inputs, in a speci-fied encoding format (maximum of 62 positions). Only binary inputs that are in direct order with regard to numbering can be used.

For the encoding formats available (binary code, BCD code, “1 of n” code), four set-tings (number of positions, number of bits, display offset, and position change) may be programmed. Their bit pattern corresponds to an individual transformer tap changer position which is represented in the device display and in the indication buffers (Figure 5-15).

Figure 5-15 Information Properties Example for Information Type “Transformer Tap Chang-er” (TxTap)

If none of the available encoding formats are selected, each individual tap changer po-sition may be set in a table. The table is accessed after the pull-down menu 7DEOH for encoding is opened, by selecting the button to the side.

The encoded transformer tap changer position bit pattern is transformed into digital values between 1 and 62. An unrecognized pattern is interpreted as position 63.

The number of bits coincides with the number of the binary inputs to be configured, and limits the number of positions to be represented.

Using the display offset, the beginning of the evaluated bits may have an offset of a programmed number. The stepping of the transfomer taps may be modified, using the tap interval feature (see example).

Example:Four transformer position settings are to be represented by three binary in-puts, using the designators 3 through 6. The encoding is binary.

Using three binary inputs (= 3 bits), a maximum of 2³ = 8 position settings may be rep-resented in binary code. In order to begin the representation of transformer tap chang-er positions with the value 3, the display offset is chosen accordingly. The following must be set on the information property window:

Encoding %LQDU\

Number of positions 

Orientation Desired representation

BI1 BI2 BI3

- - - 63.00

X - - 3.00

- X - 4.00

X X - 5.00

- - X 6.00

X - X 63.00

The three binary inputs used for this must have sequential numbers, such as BI 1, BI 2, and BI 3.

Measured Values User Defined (MVU) and Limit Values User Defined (LVU)

For the information type “Measured Values User Defined” (098), the units, the conver-sion factor, and the number of significant digits following the decimal point may be specified. For the information type “Limit Values User Defined” (/98), a limit value may be programmed (Figure 5-16).

Figure 5-16 Information Properties Example for Information Type “Limit Value, User Defined”

(LVU)

The correlation between input current and a measured magnitude can be set as fol-lows:

If, for example, a under current set point should be established using the CFC logic, and the percentage of the measured current should be matched to a certain amp val-ue, the following values are entered in window according to Figure 5-16:

The Dimension is A (amps). The Conversion Factor is 150: 150 A corresponds to 100 % input current. The limit value upon startup is set for 120 A.

Metered Values For metered values, the determination of the polarity (+/–) is determined by the direc-tion of power flow (Figures 5-17 and 5-18). The user may also define the transfer of metered values from measured values (0909) (Figure 5-17), the units for pulsed me-tered values (309), the conversion factor, and the number of significant digits following the decimal point (Figure 5-18). If the event pulse option is selected, each individual impulse increases the counter by one. If the double current pulse option is selected, then each individual transition (positive or negative) increases the counter by one. If, for example, MVARh is entered as the units and 1000 is entered as the conversion factor, then 1000 impulses will result in a reading of one MVARh.

Entering Your Own Information

The information included in the configuration matrix is determined by the relay type and the configured functional scope. If necessary, the configuration matrix may in-clude information groups or individual information defined and entered by the user.

Such user defined groups and information may be deleted at any time, in contrast to predefined groups and information.

In order to insert a new information group, click on a cell within a group that is next to the location where the new group should be located. After pressing the right mouse button, a context menu should appear (Figure 5-19).

Figure 5-19 Dialog Box to Insert a New Information Group

Figure 5-20 Entry of the Name of a User Defined Information Group

Information may be entered into the new information group using the information cat-alog (Figure 5-21). The information catcat-alog is found in the menu bar under the 9LHZ option, or via an icon in the toolbar. User information may be entered into both the user defined groups and any other available information group.

Figure 5-21 Information Catalog Window

The information catalog is basically structured the same way as the DIGSI^®4 Manag-er with foldManag-ers and sub-foldManag-ers. To proceed to information of sub-foldManag-ers in the catalog, the user should click on a plus symbol or double-click on an folder icon. The designa-tion of the initial levels of the catalog correspond to the informadesigna-tion groups Annuncia-tions, Commands, Measured Values and Counter Values.

To insert a specific information unit into an information group, it should first be selected in the catalog, and using the left mouse button, it should then be dragged from the in-formation catalog window to a group area on the left of the matrix. After the mouse button is released, the new information unit is inserted into the selected group with a default name. In order to rename the user defined information, double-click on the field display text and long text.

Deleting Groups and Information

Only user defined groups and information may be deleted. To delete an entire group, click on the field containing the group designator, and then press the right mouse but-Note:
