2. DEFINITIONS

Summary of some of the terms and acronyms used in this manual

• Dependability - Ability of a Teleprotection link to issue a valid command in the presence of interference and or noise. For convenience, the probability of missing command Pmc is usually measured, the dependability is therefore given by 1 - Pmc.

• Security - Ability of a system to prevent interference or noise from generating a command state at the receiving end when no command is transmitted. For convenience, the probability of unwanted command Puc is usually measured, the security is then given by 1 - Puc.

• Nominal transmission time - The time elapsed between the moment of a change of state at the transmitter input and the moment of the corresponding change of state at the receiver output when there is no interference or noise. This time does not include propagation time.

• Guard - The guard signal is a signal that is transmitted to monitor the integrity of the teleprotection system and it effectively supervises the channel in terms of the signal quality. Other monitoring is also employed. When present, the guard signal inhibits any command output of the teleprotection receiver.

• Command signal - The command signal is a signal that is transmitted to produce a change of state at a remote location. The requirements for the command signal are dependent upon the type of scheme.

• Permissive trip - Protection schemes where the received command initiates tripping without qualification by local protection. Intertrip channels utilize similar principles to permissive trip channels, however, security against unwanted operation and dependability of correct operation are prime requirements. Speed of operation is usually sacrificed to meet security and dependability requirements, particularly in analogue systems.

• Direct trip / Inter-trip - Protective schemes where the received command initiates tripping without qualification that are similar in operation to permissive trip with the exception that security against unwanted operation and dependability of correct operation are prime requirements. Speed of operation is usually sacrificed to meet security and dependability requirements.

• Blocking - Protective schemes where the received command blocks the operation of local protection. These channels utilise similar principles to permissive trip channels; however dependability of operation and speed are prime requirements. . VF - Voice Frequency.

• DCE - Data Communication Equipment.

Safety Section


Before removing top cover, the isolating terminals of external cables must be opened or

disconnected.

Protection Class I Equipment:

- Before energizing the equipment it must be earthed using the protective conductor

terminal, if provided, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of

plug connected equipment.

- The protective conductor (earth) connection must not be removed since the

protection against electric shock provided by the equipment would be lost.

- When the protective (earth) conductor terminal (PCT) is also used to terminate

cable screens, etc., it is essential that the integrity of the protective (earth)

conductor be checked after the addition or removal of such functional earth

connections. For M4 stud PCTs the integrity of the protective (earth) connections

should be ensured by use of a locknut or similar.

The recommended minimum protective conductor (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm² (3.3 mm² for

North America) unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the equipment

documentation, or otherwise required by local or country wiring regulations.

The protective conductor (earth) connection must be low-inductance and as short as possible.

All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that are pre-

wired, but not used, should preferably be grounded when binary inputs and output relays are

isolated. When binary inputs and output relays are connected to common potential, the pre-

wired but unused connections should be connected to the common potential of the grouped

connections.

Before energizing the equipment, the following should be checked:

- Voltage rating/polarity (rating label/equipment documentation);

- Protective fuse rating;

- Integrity of the protective conductor (earth) connection (where applicable);

- Voltage and current rating of external wiring, suitable to the application.

It is important that this instruction manual be read and fully understood by all people

involved, including personnel that has already undergone training and is otherwise qualified

before changing configuration or carrying out maintenance. Otherwise the warranty will not

be applicable.

Accidental touching of exposed terminals

If working in a restricted space, such as a cubicle, where there is a risk of electric shock due to

accidental touching of terminals which do not comply with IP20 rating, then a suitable

protective barrier should be provided.

Unused connectors in the equipment sub-racks should be terminated with blank plugs.

Equipment use

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Removal of the equipment front panel/cover

Removal of the equipment front panel/cover may expose hazardous live parts, which must not

be touched until the electrical power is removed.

DIP/EN SS/A23


Equipment operating conditions

The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits.

If the link gets disturbed while tuning, testing, simulating alarms, making measurements and

loading new configurations, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the protection

signal transmission being used.

Before switching on the circuit breaker, check that the equipment/cabinet is securely

connected to the protective earth/ground and check the polarity and value of the power

supply.

Insulation and dielectric strength testing

Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the end of each

part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero to discharge capacitors,

before the test leads are disconnected.

Insertion of modules and pcb cards

Modules and PCB cards must not be inserted into or withdrawn from the equipment whilst it

is energized, since this may result in damage.

Fibre optic communication

Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly.

Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.

Cleaning

The equipment may be cleaned using a lint-free cloth dampened with clean water, when no

connections are energized. Contact fingers of test plugs are normally protected by petroleum

jelly, which should not be removed.

5. DE-COMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL

De-commissioning

The supply input (auxiliary) for the equipment may include capacitors across the supply or to

earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely isolating the supplies to the

equipment (both poles of any dc supply), the capacitors should be safely discharged via the

external terminals prior to

de-commissioning.

Disposal

It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses be avoided. The

equipment should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any equipment containing batteries

should have them removed before disposal, taking precautions to avoid short circuits.

Particular regulations within the country of operation may apply to the disposal of the

equipment.

3. OVERVIEW

ALSTOM’s DIP equipment requires no maintenance, is easy to start up and offers high installation flexibility.

The features described in this manual apply to the last product release.

It may be monitored and managed remotely through a telecommunication network using different systems:

• Standard management system using the SNMP protocol, e.g. e-terra SENTINEL by ALSTOM.

• Remote access through a TCP/IP network.

The DIP teleprotection equipment is designed to run in harsh environment conditions, such as those encountered in relaying buildings of very high voltage stations.

To this end, it is fitted with protections against electromagnetic disturbance (induced or radiated).

Although intended mainly for the field of energy, the DIP teleprotection equipment is also used in all applications where the following criteria are imperative:

• Very short transfer times.

• Optimum dependability and safety.

• Immunity to disturbance from the electric environment.

The DIP unit also supports:

• Information coding ensuring, on the one hand compatibility with the standard transmission medium, on the other hand immunity to disturbance encountered on it.

• Advanced decoding and processing of signals received, allowing accurate restitution of the information transmitted.

4.1 Protection schemes managed

In all cases, the performance of a teleprotection link results from a compromise between transfer time, dependability and security. According to the protection scheme to which the equipment must be connected, one of the following three criteria must be chosen. To do this, the DIP digital teleprotection equipment has 3 types of application and 3 additional types in dual tone analog coded mode.

• Single tone analog mode:

− Permissive tripping (enhancing dependability)

− Blocking (enhancing transfer time)

− Direct tripping (enhancing security)

• Dual tone coded analog mode:

− Permissive tripping

− Blocking

− Direct tripping

− Reinforced blocking with more dependability

− Reinforced permissive tripping with more dependability

− Direct tripping reinforced with more security

The transfer times of reinforced protection schemes exceed those in single mode s.

• Digital mode:

− Permissive tripping (enhancing dependability)

− Blocking (enhancing transfer time)

− Direct tripping (enhancing security)


DIP/EN IT/B23


4.2 Optional features

The following features may be supplied on analog and digital DIP equipment:

• IRIG-B interface to synchronize event logging on both sides of the link.

• Addition of an I/O board module providing access to combination logic features on the inputs and outputs.

4.3 Allocation of logical input commands

Each physical input of the DIP can be allocated to a logical operation. Several physical inputs can hence be grouped to form a command transmitted online.

The combination authorized in the analog mode is:

OR: OR logic between 2 inputs

AND: AND logic between 2 inputs

The combination authorized in the digital mode is:



LOG: logical function as follows:

I1 I2 O1

1 0 1

0 1 0

0 0 Previous status

1 1 Previous status

TABLE 1– LOG FUNCTION

Position <1> corresponds to a closed contact (polarized or not according to the option), <0> to an open contact.

This feature is accessible when the number of inputs available exceeds the number of commands, as follows:

⇒ Version with 2 commands with one I/O board

⇒ Version with 4 commands with two I/O boards

Also, in these variants, the output command is activated on two independent relays.


DIP/EN IT/B23


4.4 Alarms

In case of malfunction, the equipment can generate a major alarm or a minor alarm.

− Protection of command outputs, the equipment is unavailable

− Lamps lighting

− Record usable for information (history)

− Availability of two alarm loops

• Minor Alarm

The equipment is still able, in spite of the presence of a fault, to ensure a good level of dependability and security, the following actions are taken:

DIP/EN IT/B23


5. DIGITAL MODE

5.1 Principle of digital transmission

The transmission principle used is that of permanent transmission of a digital frame corresponding to the guard status.

Closing one or several contacts changes this frame and transmits a command message.

The length of the messages depends on the teleprotection variant chosen. The messages are coded in 4, 8 or 16 words selected in a code. The code is calculated as to provide optimum security and dependability.

The transfer delay hence depends directly on the variant chosen.

5.2 Interfaces available in the digital mode

The architecture and principles used ensure the DIP digital / analog teleprotection equipment can adapt to different transmission media:

• Speed between 32 Kbps and 2048 Kbps

• V11/ RS422 interface, rate from 32 Kbps to 256 Kbps

• G703-1 interface at 64 Kbps

• G703-6 interface (E1) at 2048 Kbps. Impedance 75 or 120 ohms

DIP/EN IT/B23


5.2.2 IR185 optical fiber interface

This interface, compliant with recommendation IEEE C37.94, was developed for short links, e.g. a direct secured connection to a multiplexer. Typically, the link in a station between the DIP located in a relaying building and the transmission equipment located in the communication building.

The standardized connector is of the ST type, to be used with 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber with an 850nm wavelength.

The IEEE C37.94 protocol runs at 2 048 Kbits/s, twelve time slots (TS) of 64 Kbits/s each are available for a maximum transmission rate. In the DIP, this number is limited to 8.

A rotary switch selects the number of slots used for communication. Please note that the IR-185 boards uses eight slots maximum.

If N is the value on the coding wheel, the actual rate is Nx64kbps.

5.2.3 IR187 optical interfaces

This optical interface was developed to be able to use SFP modules. It broadens the range of use of the DIP. Just change the module according to the application required. Installation modifications are hence highly simplified.

The IR187 board can only be fitted in the latests AM170D rack.

The IR187 interface can be configured to use two types of protocol:

• Manchester 2 protocol

In this case, the interface is compatible with the IR182 board it can replace.

• C37.94 protocol

This setting is recommended for optical links between several DIP.

The IEEE C37.94 protocol runs at 2 048 Kbits/s, twelve time slots (TS) of 64 Kbits/s each are available for a maximum transmission rate. In the DIP, this number is limited to 8.

A rotary switch selects the number of TS used for communication.

Note: The IEEE C37.94 recommendation defines an optical interface standard between a teleprotection and a multiplexer.

The IR187 interface can be set to use the C37.94 protocol, but unlike the IR185 board, it is not strictly compatible with this standard in terms of optical and connector characteristics.


DIP/EN IT/B23


5.2.4 SFP modules

The SFP module is a compact optical transceiver. It is fitted onto the IR187 board interchangeably to adapt to the needs of the application:

These modules, defined originally for high speed STM-1 and faster SDH digital transmissions, perfectly match the requirements of DIP applications. Two main types of SFP modules may be used:

• Unidirectional

It is the most current standard for applications in the energy sector. One fiber is used by transmission direction (2 fibers for one link).

D0640xxb

FIGURE 4 – UNIDIRECTIONAL MODULE

There are several types of modules according to the range to be reached:

• Multimode module (1300 and 1500 nm)

• Single mode module (850 nm)

• Bidirectional

A single fiber is used for both directions. Each communication direction uses a different wavelength.

D0641xxb

FIGURE 5 – BIDIRECTIONAL MODULE


DIP/EN IT/B23


A new technology has emerged in the last few years covering two wavelengths carried by the fiber, in opposite directions. External WDM couplers (multiplexers), combining or separating the two wavelengths, are used at the ends. As the technology has evolved, passive external WDM couplers have been integrated to a standard optical transceiver interface.

By combining the transmission and reception functions in a single fiber, without external mixer filter, the bidirectional SFP module on a single fiber is a simple way of offering optical transmission while halving fiber wiring required.

FIGURE 6 – BIDIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION

For short distances, the wavelength for one transmission direction is 1310nm and 1550nm in the other direction.

For longer distances, the wavelength for one transmission direction is 1510nm and 1590nm in the other direction.

For a given link, the modules are paired, one per end, each transmitting in the wavelength chosen.

5.2.5 Path redundancy.

The DIP can toggle communication from the optical interface (IR187) to another digital interface (IR173, IR179 or IR180), according to the criteria defined by the user.

FIGURE 7 – REDUNDANCY DIAGRAM


DIP/EN IT/B23


5.3 Optimizing the transmission medium

Digitizing the telecommunication networks for power distribution and carrying services optimizes exchanges of teleprotection messages, as they are transmitted as the other services of these systems.

On the other hand, in the principle chosen, the link transmits a frame permanently, even if there are no commands, allowing both teleprotection to communicate and exchange this information via service words.

The DIP can use an optical medium for the main path, and an electrical medium for the backup path.

To avoid routing error, 2 DIP with different address cannot communicate.

Similarly, over a link, one DIP shall be configured as master and the other as slave, avoiding untimely loopback.

5.4 Number of commands

The architecture of the DIP digital teleprotection equipment allows to transmit 2, 4 or 8 commands using standard boards. Regardless of the variant used, the different commands are independent, but could also be transmitted simultaneously.

5.5 Applications

Protection scheme customization is applied in group of 2 commands (1-2), (3-4), (5-6), (7-8). The application can be selected from the blocking, permissive or direct tripping.

5.6 Link control

The transmission medium is controlled permanently using a part of the frame transmitted (call service channel). This service channel allows teleprotection to exchange data on their respective status, and decide whether the link is able to perform its task. The local unit reflects the status remotely using the remote alarm feature. The transmission delay of the link is also controlled permanently by the service channel, by measuring on both sides the return time of a particular message from the opposite side.

The latter runs on any PC under Windows 2000 or XP, after connection to an appropriate connector on the DIP Teleprotection unit.

The HMI application provides to the operator an instant measurement of the bit error rate over the communication link.


DIP/EN IT/B23


5.7 Maintenance and loopback

To control operation locally or remotely of the teleprotection unit, the operator can switch the unit into the maintenance mode and perform a local or remote loopback using the DIP human-machine interface:

• Local loopback can be used during transmission with a remote unit.

• Remote and local loopback are mutually exclusive. This means that if one is activated, the other is inaccessible.

• Commands can be forced with the HMI in local or remote mode.

6.3 Description of the communication interface

Interface for 4-wire voice frequency transmission medium. For example, it may be a PLC, an analog channel on a multiplexer, a wired link, a leased line, a point to point radio link, etc.

FIGURE 11 – VOICE FREQUENCY INTERFACE

The voice frequency interface operates in a part of the audio frequency band at 4kHz, the signal is transported from the transmitter to the receiver via a telecommunication circuit.

6.4 Characteristics specific to the analog mode

6.4.1 Transmission medium (all versions)

The DIP teleprotection unit is designed to transmit low frequency signals over a 4-qire analog transmission medium with analog access to voice frequencies. The link is always bidirectional.

The architecture and principles used ensure the DIP system can be adapted to the different bandwidth constraints of conventional transmission media:

• 300 - 2400 Hz (cables)

• 300 - 3400 Hz (microwave, multiplexers, radio, etc.)

• 300 - 2000 and 300 - 3700 Hz (PLC)

• Several 1600Hz bands in the dual tone version (see section 8.8.3 )

6.4.2 Optimizing the single tone version

Using the DIP unit with PLC equipment (publication CEI 60495) allows to optimize the operation of the transmission medium:

• Optimizing the bandwidth

In the absence of commands, the link can transmit other signals (e.g. telephony or data). In this particular case, the Fv guard frequency can be the telephony signaling frequency of the telecommunication system, and hence can be generated by the latter. When a command is transmitted, the telephony transmission, calls and high frequency signals are interrupted to the benefit of the command frequency transmission.

• Optimizing power

On the other hand, a specific operating mode, called Advanced mode, allows to use all the power available of the PLC equipment to transmit teleprotection commands.

In this scheme, the level of the command transmitted to the PLC equipment depends on the number of commands to be transmitted simultaneously, to obtain the P.E.P level, on the R.F medium, equivalent to the maximum power level of the PLC equipment.

6.4.3 Number of commands – Single tone version

The architecture of the DIP equipment is such that standard boards may be used to supply configurations with 2 or 4 commands.

Two variants are available:

• Normal maintenance


DIP/EN IT/B23


In this mode, commands are totally independent and can be transmitted simultaneously. The output level is shared between the command signals. As transmission is simultaneous, the level of each command signal is limited so that the sum is equal or below the admissible transmitted level.

• Enhanced mode

This mode, defined by a particular coding mode by algorithm, forces the command output signal to the maximum output power available. This solution is particularly suited to the PLC medium and links sensitive when the optimized SNR is reached.

The DIP transmits its command signal at the maximum output reference. In the case of two simultaneous commands, the level of each signal is reduced to avoid exceeding the maximum output reference.

This configuration returns automatically to the initial setting (maximum reference) when canceling the simultaneous condition.

With its 4 commands, the DIP unit is configured in a 2+2 operating mode. The 4 commands are distributed into 2 groups combined with a priority rule .

Each group observes the maximum automatic reference concept. The 2+2 rule of priority is designed for optimized signal transmission.

6.4.4 Link test

The operator can check the global operation of the link during operation, by pressing a push button or through the maintenance PC. This procedure allows to transmit a test message with loopback at the other end of the link.

This operation provides very fast checking of the transmission medium and the ‘transmitter’ and ‘receiver’ parts of the equipment.

This procedure can also be launched, automatically, by the equipment with a programmable periodicity (daily or hourly). This feature is programmed via the HMI application and associated with an alarm level.

In case of failure of the procedure (after three attempts), the equipment switches to the irreversible minor or major alarm condition according to the programming (fault lamps on and alarm loops activation).

The alarm is maintained until operator intervention. In case of minor alarm, the next link test (periodical or manual) can be performed, and then the minor alarm is maintained or not, according to the result.

6.4.5 Unblocking feature

This function allows to send one of the 4 commands upon a guard frequency reception fault.

Triggering condition: a loss of the guard frequency or drop of its level above the programmed threshold and during a time longer than that selected, causes the transmission of a command calibrated on the output selected.

• Transmission time: adjustable from 5 to 100 ms in 1 ms steps.

• Trigger threshold: adjustable from 10 to 20 dB under the nominal guard level by steps of 0.1 dB.

• Command time adjustable from 30 to 500 ms per 1 ms steps.

6.4.6 Voltage presence

The voice frequency interface module provides an output (relay) contact closed as long as the DIP is powered on. This feature allows the communication equipment or protection automation system to be notified in case of loss of power supply of the teleprotection when the guard frequency is transmitted by the communication equipment.

The circuit for this contact is located in the connector of the communication interface.

6.4.7 External alarm input

The voice frequency interface board includes an opto-electronic input circuit activated by a voltage (48V nominal). This input can be configured by the HMI to trigger an alarm on the teleprotection equipment. This alarm, which can be minor or major, is activated after a user-set time (0 to 2.5 seconds per 100 ms steps).

For example, this feature allows the DIP to consider the interruption or lack of the power supply, as well as the dedicated alarms transmitted by the communication equipment.

The circuit for this input is located in the communication interface connector.

6.4.8 DIP connected to a PLC

This paragraph concerns only the single tone enhanced analog mode.


DIP/EN IT/B23


6.4.8.1 Automatic maximum increase

When the DIP equipment is used in the enhanced mode with the PLC equipment, the command signal is set automatically to the maximum power available of the transmitter (the signals selected for the PLC are interrupted during the transmission of the command).

The use of the power supply of the 40 W (+ 46 dBm) PLC for the command, or 80 W (+ 49 dBm), in an enhanced mode ensures the best command transmission in unfavorable conditions (optimized Signal to Noise Ratio).

6.4.8.2 Operation

5. POWER SUPPLY BOARDS

FOR POWERING ON, ACTIVATE THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD USING THE SWITCH ON THE FRONT FACE OF THE ALxxx (FOR THE LOCATION, REFER TO THE APPENDIX OF THE COMMISSIONING MANUAL).

5.1 Range of Vdc values of power supply boards

The DIP digital teleprotection equipment is supplied in direct current by 1 or 2 independent power supply boards.

The power supply boards are available in several versions covering a broad range of nominal input voltages.

The following table specifies the nominal voltage as well as the power supply range matching each power supply board:

BOARD Nominal voltage

Vdc

Min voltage

Vdc

Max voltage

AL139B 220 – 250 160 300

AL140 24 18 30

TABLE 3 – RANGE OF VDC VALUES OF POWER SUPPLY BOARDS

The power supply modules are protected by 3.15 AT / 250 V fuses.

THE INPUT VOLTAGE OF THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD MUST COMPLY WITH THE RANGE OF VALUES MANAGED.

5.2 Constraints relative to the Vdc input values

The Vdc input signal applied must comply with the following rules:

Alternate frequency component above or equal to 100 Hz: 0.12 Un peak to peak.

Input voltage variation:

⇒ ± 20 V max in amplitude

⇒ 10 ms max for the duration

⇒ 100 V/ms max slope

5.3 Power supply and consumption

The DIP digital Teleprotection unit must be supplied by a power supply board compatible with the Vdc input values complying with the constraints described above. It may be referenced to the mechanical ground of the rack or not.

Actuate the switch present on the power supply board to power on the teleprotection.

In case of redundant power supply, two different sources may be used, with a different voltage level (e.g. 48 Vdc and 125 Vdc or any other combination).

Consumption of a unit fully equipped at nominal voltage is below 20W.

Idle consumption (without command) is 7 W.

Installation

DIP/EN IN/A23


6. CONNECTION

To meet safety requirements as well as the EMC specifications announced, the protection conductor terminal (ground) at the back of the DIP unit must be connected to a grounding bar, through the shortest possible path.

A flat braid in tinned copper with a cross-section of 12mm x 1mm and a length of 30cm is supplied to this effect with the equipment. This braid must be connected to one of the two M5 studs located at the back of the DIP unit.

SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT DEPENDS ON ITS CONNECTION TO THE PROTECTION CONDUCTOR (GROUND).

THE LEVEL OF EMC PROTECTION IS RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE GROUNDING CONNECTION. ANY DIFFERENCE MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE PROTECTION.

When the DIP commands electromechanical relays, these should be fitted with free wheel diodes at the coil terminals.

6.1 Rear connectors

There are two types of racks differentiated by their back panel:

• the first AM170, reserved to RTE (France) features a single power supply connector,

• the second AM170D with two power supply connectors.

Both types of racks allow to install redundant power supply boards.

The connectors and external connecting points of the DIP teleprotection equipment are located on the rear panel of the equipment.

RECOMMENDATION

ALL EXTERNAL RELAYS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT CONTACTS OF THE TELEPROTECTION MUST BE FITTED WITH A FREE- WHEELING DIODE.

6.2.3 Allocation of logical input commands

Depending on the DIP hardware configuration, a combinatorial logic operator can be applied to inputs and then allocated to commands sent to another DIP.

Input logic allows a logical operator to be affected to board input and to be allocated to a command.

Permitted combinations are:



LOG: logical function (digital mode) as follows

This feature is accessible when the number of inputs available exceeds the number of commands, as follows:

⇒ Version with 2 commands with one I/O board

⇒ Version with 4 commands with two I/O boards

Also, in these variants, the command output is activated on two independent relays.

The allocation of input and output commands is given by table 5 below) using the human machine interface (see the HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE chapter § Configuring I/O parameters).

6.4 Power supply wiring

According to the type of rack, there are one or 2 power supply terminal blocks. In the case of a rack with 2 power supply terminal blocks, these are marked ‘main’ for the main power supply and ‘aux’ for the auxiliary power supply respectively, on the rear face (see Appendix figure 20 – AM170 kit).

The functional ground is mostly useful to protect the user during the laboratory test. In normal use, the grounding braid supplied with the equipment must be connected to one of the two M5 studs located at the back of the DIP unit.

According to the installations, it may be better to connect the +BAT or -BAT to this functional ground, or leave these polarities floating.


The cables, with a cross-section of 0.08 to 2.5 mm², are connected to the terminal block through a WAGO self-locking connector.

6.5 Access port for line connection support

This chapter concerns all versions of the DIP equipment, except the variant using optical fiber. In this case, refer to chapter 6.6 on connections by optical fiber.

6.5.1 Description of the connectors

The line connection interface (connector P18) is on the mother board of the equipment (See Appendix - Figure 18 - AM170 - CONNECtors at the back

The connection must be implemented using the male SUB-D 15 pin connector supplied with the equipment, It is locked by screws (supplied). A cover holding the cable for a straight outlet is also part of standard equipment.

Non-allocated terminals must not be connected, in compliance with isolation restrictions.

The definition of the multi-strand conductor to be used is the following:

To be welded: AWG 20 to 22 (0.324 to 0.519 mm²).

Acceptable cable diameter: 8.2 mm maximum.

Cable-clamp reducers for maximum diameters of 4.1mm, 5.5mm and 6.8mm are supplied.

Cable shielding must be connected to the metallic cover.

For digital teleprotection links, immunity to electromagnetic disturbance is linked directly to proper connection of the cable shield to the functional ground on both sides of the link.

6.6 Optical fiber access port

In case of configuration by optical fiber, the optical interface board, installed in the reserved location of the rack, must be blocked with its two fastening screws.

Three versions of optical boards are managed: IR182, IR185 and IR187.

The connectors of the optical interface, accessible at the back (see figure 20 – AM170 kit), are part of the optical board:

• 2 FC / PC connectors for IR182.

• ST connectors for IR185.

• LC connector for IR187.

The types of fibers recommended are:

• Single mode fiber 9/125 µm for 1310 and 1550 nm applications

• Multimode fiber 62.5/125 µm for 850 nm applications.

EMC protection

When not used, the rack connector must be covered with an EMC protection plate.

REMOVING THE OPTICAL BOARD

DO NOT REMOVE THE OPTICAL BOARDS WITHOUT HAVING REMOVED THE TWO SCREWS FASTENING THE REAR PANEL.

6.7 Standard HMI access port (PC connection)

The DIP is equipped with two RS 232 serial ports, one located on the front panel, the second on the back of the unit (see Appendix-Figure 16 – Description of the HMI CONNECtor at the back).

The download / display port fitted on the front panel is an ultra low voltage circuit (ULV) ensuring basic isolation against electric shock. When powering on the relay, the terminals of this port must not be touched to prevent any risk of electric shock in case of fault. This port is designed to be used for maintenance, i.e. monitoring and downloading software, it must not be connected permanently.

The connectors are female SUB-D 9-pin connectors.

These ports allow to connect the PC to the unit by means of an RS 232C cable. When two cables are connected, the one on the front face has the priority.

FIGURE 15 – DESCRIPTION OF THE HMI CONNECTOR ON THE FRONT

When using the RS 232C main connector at the back, an adapter of the DTE-DCE type must be connected. This port supports the RTS / CTS hardware protocol and the remote connection.

6.9 IRIG-B interface port

If an optional IRIG_B interface board is installed, this port is used to connect with an external clock supporting an IRIG-B synchronization interface (IRIG-B mode with 1 kHz analog modulation).

The connector, located on the unit’s rear, is a standard female BNC connector (see P20 in Appendix - Figure 19 - AM170D – CONNECTOR AT THE BACK). It is accessible with a male connector of a standard BNC coaxial cable.

Cap

When not used, the connector must be covered with the BNC cap supplied with the equipment.

4.1 Initial status

Prior conditions have been checked.

The positions of the links must not be modified, unless the input voltage has been isolated.

4.2 Configuration of the I/O board jumpers

This step requires an intervention on the boards. Safety reminder:

ESD protection: the modules of this equipment contain devices likely to be damaged by static discharge. Appropriate measures are to be applied before unpacking the modules or removing them from the equipment racks. Essential precautions avoiding damage due to static discharge during any intervention on the modules: grounding braids for technical staff and supply of antistatic workshops.

The software configuration requires a PC running the HMI software, compatible with the firmware of the DIP. The operator must be acquainted with the use of the HMI software.

To create a new configuration, you must be connected with a DIP.

Upon commissioning, you must:

• Either create a new configuration,

• Or have a configuration already saved in the PC,

• Or log onto the DIP, read the configuration, modify it, and return it to the DIP if required.

6.3 Initial status

The DIP unit is powered on.

OPERATING THE HMI DIP: DURING OPERATION MAY DISTURB THE TELEPROTECTION LINK BY THE USE OF CERTAIN FEATURES PROPOSED BY THE DIP HMI WITHIN EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE (E.G. COMMAND FORCING).

6.4 Configuration of the DIP digital version

For more details on the configuration procedures of DIP DIGITAL, refer to the HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE - DIP DIGITAL chapter. Each step of the procedure corresponds to a paragraph in the HMI chapter.

The configuration procedure is as follows:

• Creating a user password

• Creating a software password

• Configuring General Parameters

• Configuring the backup interface (option)

• Configuring I/O parameters

• Configuring application parameters

• Configuring alarm parameters

• Entering comments

• Saving the configuration

6.4.1 Creating a user password

Access to the configuration parameters of the DIP is protected by password. The intervention level granted to a user depends on the password. First, create the passwords, then the associated levels.

To create a user password, refer to § DIP Managing security passwords / Creating a user password in the chapter HMI - DIP DIGITAL.

The password is saved in the PC.

ATTENTION

DIP/EN CM/B23


6.4.2 Creating a software password

For more security, a software password may be created, which is then saved in the equipment.

To create a software password, refer to § DIP Managing security passwords / Creating a user password in the chapter HMI - DIP DIGITAL.

If the software password is lost, the CPU, UT148 board must be returned to the factory to be reset.

6.4.3 Configuring General Parameters

Refer to the § Configuring the general parameters in the Human Machine Interface - DIP Digital chapter for more details (description of the parameters and range of values).

3.2 Messages

Notification messages are displayed to notify the user in case of error and risk of untimely commands. They also provide instructions for fault resolving.

3.3 LED – Relay information

The information of the ‘MAJOR ALARM’ and ‘MINOR ALARM’ LEDs (see Figure 1) is associated with the alarm status of the relays.

DIP/EN MT/A23

Maintenance


Each alarm is associated with two independent contacts, with a closing time (0 s, 2.5 s, 5 s or 10 s) which can be configured with the HMI (refer to the chapter ‘Human Machine Interface’).

These contacts are normally open in standard or normally closed with the AL142 and AL143 boards.

3.4 Push buttons

The S1 and S2 push buttons are accessible when the door is open (see Figure 1).

The S1 button allows to reset the DIP unit.

The S2 button:

• is not used in the digital version of the equipment (factory test),

• is used to launch a link test in the analog version.

Maintenance

DIP/EN MT/A23


4. HMI MAINTENANCE FEATURES

The RS232C communication port fitted on the front panel is an ultra low voltage circuit (ULV) ensuring basic isolation against electric shock. When powering on the teleprotection, the terminals of this port must not be touched to prevent any risk of electric shock in case of fault. This port is designed to be used for maintenance, i.e. monitoring and downloading software, it must not be connected permanently.

The front panel mounted RJ45(1)

communication port is an extra low voltage circuit ensuring basic insulation against electric shock. This port is designed to be used for maintenance, i.e. monitoring and downloading software.


4.1 Snapshot window

The HMI software allows monitoring alarms via an instant status window and reading event and alarm files.

Events and alarms are saved in a file, accessible via the History menu.

The alarms monitored depend on the type of DIP, DIGITAL or ANALOG.

The corresponding alarm windows and files are described separately, in the following paragraphs. According to the version of the DIP, refer to the appropriate paragraphs.

4.2 Maintenance test commands

The maintenance instructions, used to analyze malfunctions and launch tests, are available via the HMI:

• Locking to lock / unlock either the link between units or the link with the protection relay connected to the unit.

• Loop to launch a loop between the transmitter and receiver.

• Forcing commands to check availability of features.

• Interface forcing (only on DIP DIGITAL).

• Reset.

For more information on the use of these MAINTENANCE functions, refer to the § Maintenance Menu in the DIP HMI chapter for the DIGITAL or ANALOG version.

5. TESTS AND FAULT ISOLATION

5.1 Checks before repair

In case of malfunction, check the following points before applying the fault isolation procedure:

• Proper application of the power supply voltage to the DIP (power supply LED not lit).

• Wiring.

• External connection and circuit to which the DIP is connected (protection side, transmission medium, power supply, external alarm).

• Aspect of the mother board.

If communication between the PC HMI and the DIP cannot be set up, check the cable’s connection on the DIP side and PC side. Open the front panel of the DIP and check, if required, the internal connection between the RS 232 connector and the UT 148 board.

5.2 Fault isolation procedure

Most faults are notified by the LEDs (see § 3.1).

If a LED reports an alarm:

1. Determine the cause of the alarm using table 1.

2. Connect the PC and launch the HMI.

3. Read the alarm instant and notification messages.

4. Apply the repair procedure associated with the alarm (refer to the next paragraph Startup procedure).

Note: When replacing a board, apply the startup procedure (refer to the COMMISSIONING chapter).

In case of complex fault which cannot be resolved by a repair procedure (several simultaneous faults or failures with multiples impacts), use the maintenance commands and test tools (see § 4.2) to analyze or process the fault (a reset command may be useful).

5.3 Troubleshooting procedures

How to use this paragraph:

In case of alarm notification, refer to the associated figures:

• Figures 2 to 7 – Power on alarms (Digital and Analog)

• Figures 8 to 13 – Equipment status (Digital and Analog)

• Figures 14 to 21 – Communication alarms - Digital version

• Figures 22 to 24 – Communication alarms – Analog version

Note: In the following figures, the indications of the LEDs have been

translated. However, the actual indications on the front panel are shown in figure 1.

Maintenance

DIP/EN MT/A23


PRECAUTIONS

INSERTING ELECTRONIC MODULES AND BOARDS:

THE ELECTRONIC MODULES AND BOARDS MUST BE NEITHER INSERTED NOR REMOVED FROM LIVE EQUIPMENT UNDER PAIN OF DAMAGE.

WHEN CHANGING A BOARD, CHECK THE HARDWARE CONFIGURATION OF THE SPARE BOARD, WHICH MUST BE IDENTICAL.

BEFORE ANY INTERVENTION ON THE OPTICAL INTERFACE BOARD, REMOVE ITS FASTENING SCREWS ON THE REAR PANEL.

THE OPTICAL BOARDS MUST BE FASTENED WITH THEIR SCREWS BEFORE CONNECTING THE OPTICAL FIBERS.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF FAULTS

Faults are distributed into two classes: major and minor

Major faults

A major fault is a fault whose appearance inhibits the normal operation of the equipment or causes a risk for operation. In all cases, it results in the command restitution relays being set to idle. The relays are held in this status until the fault disappears.

Minor faults

A minor fault is a fault whose appearance does not cause risks for operation. In this case, normal operation of the equipment is ensured.

Faults are distributed into two types: reversible and irreversible

Reversible faults

Reversible faults indicate an abnormal operating condition at a given time. Teleprotection returns to a normal operating mode once the fault disappears.

Irreversible faults

Irreversible faults indicate permanent non operation of the link or equipment. Manual intervention (including powering back on or resetting) is required.

Faults are distributed into 3 categories: power on / hardware / communication

The following table summarizes the faults classified per category with information related to the class and type of fault:

7. UPDATE OF THE DIP FIRMWARE

Software updates always come with a risk. In case of blocking, the UT148 board must be returned to the factory to reset the memories.

7.1 Overview

The update procedure includes four steps:

• Prior conditions.

• Installing files on the PC.

• Transferring update files.

During this step, the files are written in flash memory UT148 (a file is copied in 30 seconds).

• Connecting the DIP.


During the update procedure, the equipment must be disconnected to prevent any untimely command.

Before applying the update procedure:

• Power off the DIP unit.

• Disconnect the I/O connectors P11 to P13.

• Disconnect connector P18 providing access to the transmission line.

• Disconnect the optical connector of the IR 182 module if connected.

• Power on the DIP unit.

7.3 Installing files on the PC

The update is supplied on a compressed file containing 2 files: Diptsoft.dat and Lisezmoi.txt.

• Create a temporary directory on the PC HD (e.g. C:\diptemp).

• Copy the update zip file into the directory created.

• Use Winzip to extract the dipsoft.dat and lisezmoi.txt files into the directory created.

• Open the lisezmoi.txt file using a text editor.

DIP/EN MT/A23

Maintenance


• Copy the update password for later use:

• Copy the dipsoft.dat file into the installation directory of the HMI application on the PC (by default: C:\ Program Files \ ALSTOM \ IHM DIP\). If another dipsoft.dat file is already present, a message asks whether you wish to replace it, answer YES.

7.4 Transferring update files

Once the update procedure launched, do not interrupt it by resetting, nor powering off the DIP nor disconnecting the serial link. If this rule is not applied, the unit may be damaged, requiring a return to the factory.

1. Check the step on prior conditions (disconnect the DIP).

2. Power on the DIP unit.

3. Connect the RS 232 serial communication cable between the PC and the DIP.

4. Start the HMI application.

5. Connect the HMI from the DIP Tools \ connect:

6. Select the menu Tools \ Password.

7. Enter the 15-character password copied in the lisezmoi.txt file (the password can be copied/pasted from this file):

Maintenance

DIP/EN MT/A23


8. Click the button. The following window opens:

This window indicates the current DSP and EPLD version, as well as the versions to download.

9. Click the button.

10. Notification messages appear with information on the file transfer:

When all files have been transferred successfully, the DIP is reset.

11. Reset the list of events and alarms upon the update from the previous digital version to the ZZ339A-05 version or the analog version ZZ350A-03.

12. Check that the DIP version complies with the update version by selecting the menu Read\local\version.

13. Remove the C:\ diptemp directory, then the dipsoft.dat file from the HMI directory.

Note: In case of communication problem between the PC HMI and the DIP, a message indicating a transmission problem and a prompt to restart the procedure may appear: Continue the update file transfer procedure from step 4.

DIP/EN MT/A23

Maintenance


14. At the end of the procedure, the DIP unit resets automatically, and the following message may be displayed. Ignore it.

7.5 Connecting the DIP

1. Power off the DIP unit.

2. Connect the connectors.

3. Power on the DIP unit.

4. Reset the lists of events, alarms and counters.

5. Log onto the DIP with the HMI matching the new version.

3. OVERVIEW

3.1 Foreword

As it is powerful and easy to use, the DIP Analog teleprotection HMI enables local:

• complete commissioning of the unit and control of its levels, without the need for other tools,

• level adjustment without measuring apparatus,

• filing of configurations (=>rationalization of commissioning actions),

• time-stamped recording of unit information (=> analysis and statistics),

• interactive and user-friendly maintenance,

• printing of unit parameters.

3.2 System Required

The HMI runs on PCs fitted equipped with Pentium III microprocessors and higher, operating under Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or Windows XP Service Pack 2. The PC must feature at minimum:

• 40 MB free space on the HD,

• 256 MB RAM.

IMPORTANT: HAVING SEVERAL TASKS RUNNING CONCURRENTLY (DESKTOP OR OTHER TOOLS) MAY CAUSE PC-HMI TRANSMISSION FAULTS. THEREFORE, ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE CLOSED BEFORE USING THIS HMI.

When the PC has no serial port, use a PCMCIA converter. Experience shows that USB converters offer lesser compatibility.

3.3 Installing the HMI

Installation:

• Insert the CD-ROM supplied in the drive.

• Run the setup.exe file from the <Run> menu in the Program manager: D\:setup.

• Follow the instructions.

4. USER LEVELS AND PASSWORDS

4.1 User level structure

The DIP places operations in hierarchical command: some actions have no impact on unit operation, others, due to their impact on security and operation, require specific responsibility on the part of the operator.

The HMI is therefore structured in user levels; there are 2 of them, 0 and 2.

Level 0 is the default level on start-up. To enforce this hierarchical arrangement, the command menus are displayed according to user level.

8.7.4 Configuring Command transmission parameters

The transmission of an input command requires the following parameters to be configured:

• Holding Delay

• Mode pulsed or not

• Input Holding delay validation

• Protection scheme

8.7.4.1 Receiver holding delay configuration

Holding delay Parameter description

The Holding Delay parameter corresponds to the minimum transmission time of a validated command. However, if the corresponding pulsed mode box is checked, this time is a maximum, as shown above.

The transmission time is the maximum value between the Holding Delay and the input signal command duration.

Example:

Holding delay: 100 ms.

A first input signal command duration is 5ms.

Holding delay 100 ms > Command duration 5 ms: The command will be transmitted during 100 ms.

A second input command duration is 120 ms.

Input signal command duration 120 ms > Holding delay 100 ms: The command will be transmitted during 120 ms.

Parameter Values

Parameter values are in ms.

Range value 0 to 500 ms.

Procedure

For each command, select the Holding Delay by positioning the scrolling button.

DIP/EN HI/A23


SINGLE TONE


8.7.4.2 Configuring Sender Input Valid delay

Input Valid Delay Parameter description

At the receipt end the restitution of a command requires a processing time that varies according to the chosen protection scheme. To be rebuilt an input command must be transmitted during a time at least equal to the processing time.

The Input Holding Valid Delay corresponds to a threshold applied to an input signal command duration conditioning the activation of the Input Holding Delay.

• Input signal commands whose duration is inferior to the Input Holding Valid Delay are validated and transmitted without any prolongation.

Restitution at the receipt end of input commands sent in such condition is not guaranteed because the transmission time may be less than the processing time required by the Protection Scheme.

• Input signal commands whose duration is greater than the Holding Valid Delay, are validated and transmitted for a minimum duration corresponding to the Holding Delay parameter.

When the Holding Delay parameter is greater than the processing reception duration, reception of input command sent in such condition is guaranteed to be lossless.

Parameter Values



Example

E.g. holding delay 50ms, input validation delay 5ms:

1. Input signal command 3ms, duration less than the Holding Delay: the Holding delay is not considered, the command is sent without prolongation.

2. Input command 6ms, command acquisition duration less than the Holding Delay validation. The Holding delay is taken into account and the command is transmitted for the Holding Delay: 50 ms.

3. Input command 60 ms: command acquisition duration more than the Holding Delay validation parameter. Input command more than the Holding Delay. The command is transmitted during 60 ms.

Procedure

For each command, select the Holding Delay validation by positioning the scrolling button.

8.7.4.2.1 Configuring Sender Protection Schemes

Parameter Description

3 protection schemes are available: stage acceleration, locking and direct trigger.

Permissive tripping commands are always monitored by a protection relay. The circuit breaker is tripped when receipt of the command coincides with operation of the protection relay at the receiving end responding to a system fault. The intention of these schemes is to speed up tripping for faults occurring within the protected zone.

Blocking commands are initiated by a protection element that detects faults external to the protected zone. Detection of an external fault at the local end of a protected circuit results in a blocking signal being transmitted to the remote end. At the remote end, receipt of the blocking signal prevents the remote end protection operating if it had detected the external fault. The risk of a spurious trip is higher.

Direct tripping: remote triggering signals sent directly to the main trigger relay. Reception of the command triggers trips the circuit breaker. The method of communication must be reliable and secure because any signal detected at the receiving end will cause a trip of the circuit at that end.

Procedure

For each command select the protection scheme by selecting the value with the scroll down window.

8.7.5 Sender Transmission parameter configuration procedure

Depending on user needs and of the characteristics of input signals applied to the DIP, notably their duration, two procedures are available.

8.7.5.1 Procedure without Input Valid Delay

For each command

1. Using the scroll-down window select a protection scheme.

Option:

2. Using the scroll-down window select a Holding Delay.

2. Select the valid input delay by positioning the scrolling button.


Note: The Holding Delay parameter is automatically set to a minimum value compatible with the application scheme.


Holding delay, Holding delay validation, and protection schemes parameters are dependent.

If the procedure indicated is not applied (e.g. Holding time selected before the protection schemes), incompatibilities may occur.

In case of incompatibility when selecting the protection schemes, warning messages are displayed.

More particularly, if the holding time is incompatible, a warning message is displayed:

In this case, the minimum value for holding time is adjusted automatically to a value compatible with the protection scheme.

3. OVERVIEW

3.1 Foreword

As it is powerful and easy to use, the DIP Analog teleprotection HMI enables local:

− complete commissioning of the unit and control of its levels, without the need for other tools,

− level adjustment without measuring apparatus,

− filing of configurations (=>rationalization of commissioning actions),

− time-stamped recording of unit information (=> analysis and statistics),

− interactive and user-friendly maintenance,

− printing of unit parameters.

3.2 System Required


− 40 MB free space on the HD,

− 256 MB RAM.


When the PC has no serial port, use a PCMCIA converter rather than a USB converter.


For safety purposes, we recommend installing the HMI from a copy of the disc supplied.

Installation:

− Insert the CD-ROM supplied in the drive.

− Run the setup.exe file from the <Run> menu in the Program manager: D\:set up.

− Follow the instructions.

3.4 First use

The language of use of the HMI must be configured the first use.

To launch the application, click the desktop icon “DIP HMI” icon or open the DIP group of programs and select it.



DIP/EN HI/A23

DUAL TONE


Click OK to open a scrolling menu to select the language.

Select the language required

Click OK, to open the following window

Restart the application.

3.5 Installing the documentation

The user manuals may be accessible from the HMI. (refer to $7.7)

− Run the batch.exe file from the CD_ROM menu in the Documentation directory.


This procedure may also be used to update the documentation.

DIP/EN HI/A23

To configure the Guard transmission levels and Frequency 1 to 7, select, using the scrolling button, the Transmission levels in compliance with the following rule:

DIP/EN HI/A23


DUAL TONE


The difference between sending frequency transmission levels must not exceed 16 dBm. If this rule is not applied, a warning message appears when attempting to save the configuration file.

If this warning message appears, modify the transmission levels in consequence.

8.8.3 Configuring Command transmission parameters

The following parameters must be configured when transmitting an input command:

− Holding Delay

− Mode pulsed or not

− Holding delay validation

− Type of application (protection scheme).

8.8.3.1 Sender holding delay configuration

Holding delay Parameter description

The Holding Delay parameter corresponds to the minimum transmission time of a validated command. However, if the corresponding pulsed mode box is checked, this time is a maximum, as shown above.

− Box corresponding to the pulsed mode not checked:

In this case, the transmission time is the maximum value between the holding delay defined and the input signal command duration.


DIP/EN HI/A23

DUAL TONE


Example 1: Holding delay: 100 ms.

− The presence time of the first input signal command is 5ms.

As the 100 ms holding time exceeds the command time of 5 ms: The command will be transmitted during 100 ms.

− The presence time of the second input signal command is 120 ms.

As the 120 ms command time exceeds the holding time of 100 ms: The command will be transmitted during 120 ms.

Parameter Values



− Box corresponding to the pulsed mode checked:

In this case, the transmission time is the minimum value between the holding delay defined and the input signal command duration.

Example 2: Holding delay: 150 ms.

− The presence time of the third input signal command is 5ms.

As the 150 ms holding time exceeds the command time of 5 ms: The command will be transmitted in 5 ms only.

− The presence time of the fourth input signal command is 200 ms.

As the 200 ms command time exceeds the Holding time of 150 ms: The command will be transmitted during a pulsed time of 150 ms.

Parameter Values



Procedure

For each command, select the Holding Delay by positioning the scrolling button.

NOTE: For more information on this parameter, refer to document PTC-DIP5K-TS008

8.8.3.2 Configuring Sender input validation delay.

This configuration is particular to certain specific applications. It is the validation delay parameter applicable to holding time activation. It does not apply when the pulsed mode box is checked.

Valid Hold Time Parameter description

DIP/EN HI/A23


DUAL TONE


At the receipt end the restitution of a command requires a processing time that varies according to the chosen protection scheme. To be rebuilt an input command must be transmitted during a time at least equal to the processing time.

The Holding Valid Delay corresponds to a threshold applied to an input signal command duration conditioning the activation of the Holding Delay.

The commands present at the input for a time less than the Validation delay of the holding time parameter are transmitted without considering the holding time programmed.

This means that a command which is too short will be transmitted but we accept that restitution is not guaranteed as it is of a time shorter than the processing time required by the application.

The commands present at the input whose duration is greater than the Holding Delay, are validated and transmitted for a minimum duration corresponding to the Holding Delay parameter.

When the Holding Delay parameter is greater than the processing reception duration, reception of input command sent in such condition is guaranteed to be lossless.

Parameter Values



Example

E.g. holding delay 50ms, input validation delay 5ms:

Command present at input for 3ms, a duration less than Holding Delay validation: the <Holding delay> is not considered, the command is sent within 3 ms without prolongation.

Command present at input for 6 ms, a command acquisition duration exceeding that of the Holding Delay validation parameter: The <Holding delay> is taken into account and the command is transmitted for the Holding Delay: 50 ms.

Input command 60 ms: command acquisition duration more than the Holding Delay validation parameter. Input command more than the Holding Delay. The command is transmitted during 60 ms.

8.8.3.3 Configuring the type of application of the sender

This parameter depends on the protection schemes teleprotections will operate.


Permissive tripping commands are always monitored by a protection relay. The circuit breaker is tripped when receipt of a teleprotection command coincides with operation of the


DIP/EN HI/A23

DUAL TONE


protection relay at the receiving end responding to a system fault. The intention of these schemes is to speed up tripping for faults occurring within the protected zone.

Blocking commands are initiated by a protection element that detects faults external to the protected zone. Detection of an external fault at the local end of a protected circuit results in a blocking signal being transmitted to the remote end. At the remote end, receipt of the blocking signal prevents the remote end protection operating if it had detected the external fault. The risk of a spurious trip is higher.

Direct tripping: remote triggering signals sent directly to the main trigger relay. Reception of the command triggers trips the circuit breaker. The method of communication must be reliable and secure because any signal detected at the receiving end will cause a trip of the circuit at that end.

Teleprotection includes two groups of protection classes, one standard and the other secured. Secured versions are more reliable, but slower.

During configuration, only one or the other of these two groups can be chosen

Procedure

For each command, select the type of application by selecting the value with the scroll down window.

When selecting parameters from two groups by error, an error message appears.

8.8.4 Sender Transmission parameter configuration procedure

This operating mode allows sending the commands issued in the maintenance mode over the transmission link. During a maintenance operation, apply all precautions, considering the risk of untimely command transmission commands, as the operator can simulate the acquisition of a command.

Lock AF line: this status is used to disconnect the teleprotection transmitter from the transmission line. No maintenance operation will be transmitted online. The operator can then simulate safely a command acquisition.

Relay unlocking: when this status is activated, the output of the relays complies with the command conditions present in the reception line. Take all precautions required during maintenance operations, as this operating mode introduces the risk of untimely command reception in case of simulation of command restitution by the operator.

Relay locking: when this status is activated, the status of the output relays are forced to the inactive status, regardless of the command conditions present in the reception line.

3. OVERVIEW

3.1 Foreword

Thanks to its power and easy use, the HMI of the DIP teleprotection allows, either locally or remotely:

− complete commissioning of the unit and control of its levels, without the need for other tools,

− filing of configurations (=>rationalization of commissioning actions),

− time-stamped recording of unit information (=> analysis and statistics),

− interactive and user-friendly maintenance,

− printing of unit parameters.

− This software has not been modified by adding new boards to the equipment:

− The SR200 board does not require programming,

− The IR187 board will be recognized automatically ; refer to chapter 8.6.

3.2 System Required


− 40 MB free space on the HD,

− 256 MB RAM.

− A serial port, except if the DIP features the ME50 option which has an IP/RS232 converter


When the PC has no serial port, use a PCMCIA converter rather than a USB converter.


For safety purposes, we recommend installing the HMI from a copy of the disc supplied. Installation:

− Insert the CD-ROM supplied in the drive.

− Run the setup.exe file from the <Run> menu in the Program manager: D\:setup.


DIP/EN HI/B23


DIGITAL




The DIP places operations in hierarchical order: some actions have no impact on unit operation, others, due to their impact on security and operation, require specific responsibility on the part of the operator.
