Selecting the language version

Select the language of the menus, dialog boxes and messages of the configuration software in Main Menu > Options > Language > [English, German, Italian, Czech]. The setting takes effect immediately and it is also kept after closing the software.
3.5.5.
Setting the PC and REF 542plus connection

To download the application from the PC to REF 542plus or to upload an application or other data from the REF 542plus, the connection must be established first. To properly configure the connection port, open the dialog box in Main Menu > Connect > Port Configuration.
Serial connection
A serial/optical cable is needed. One end is plugged in to the optical interface of the HMI and the other end is plugged in to the PC serial RS-232 interface. Ensure that the parameters of the dialog box "Serial Interface" in the configuration software are the same as the parameters for the serial interface configured in the operating system. Ensure that the slave address of the dialog box "Serial Interface..." in the configuration software is the same as the slave address of the connected base unit. If not, the communication between the PC and REF 542plus cannot be established. TCP/IP connection A standard Ethernet cable is needed. One end is plugged in to the Ethernet interface of the device and the other end is plugged in to the PC Ethernet interface. Set the IP address of the REF 542plus device and ensure that the subnet mask of the PC Ethernet Adapter is the same as that of the REF 542plus device. The TCP/IP settings of REF 542plus can be read from the Communication dialog box of the Configuration Tool under MAINBOARD > TCP/IP properties.
3.5.6.
Configuring REF 542plus

To be able to configure the application, the hardware module installed in the REF 542plus must be entered into the configuration software. Enter the hardware module to the REF 542plus Configuration Tool in Main Menu > Configure > Global Settings and in Main Menu > Configure > Hardware. The communication with the station control system can be configured by selecting Main Menu > Communication. In this submenu you can define the properties for the communication via the Ethernet interface on the mainboard of the REF 542plus.
20
1MRS755871

REF 542plus
The properties can be defined for the communication using TCP/IP, for example MODBUS TCP/IP, WEBSERVER or GSM/SMS, can be defined accordingly. Besides that, the communication setting using the optional communication module can also be selected. The setting is for example SPA, Modbus RTU, ABB LON or IEC 60870-5-103 can also be selected. The communication setting can then be saved to a file. Downloading the communication parameter can later be performed separately from the downloading of the FUPLA. The analog inputs and outputs should be defined before making the application settings in Main Menu > Configure > Terminals > Analog Inputs and if necessary in Main Menu > Configure > Terminals > Analog Outputs. If an analog output board is not used, this menu item cannot be selected. The analog inputs 0/4-20 mA can be defined if necessary in Main Menu > Configure > Terminals > Analog Inputs 4-20 mA. If an analog input 4-20 mA board is not used, this menu item cannot be selected. The menu Main Menu > Component is prepared for future use. It has currently no functionality. It is recommended to define the display language (Main Menu > Configure > HMI > Display Language) before continuing the configuration. This setting influences the translation to REF 542plus fonts of strings on the configuration software in case of non-Latin characters (for example Cyrillic, Chinese, Hebrew, and so on).
3.5.7.
Creating a function chart (FUPLA)

To create the function chart, start the function chart editor in Main Menu > Configure > Drawing. Before the function chart editor can be started, make the settings for a new application in Main Menu/Configure/Global Settings and in Main Menu > Configure > Hardware.
The first page of the application is displayed. To make an application more manageable, it can be distributed over several pages. One page is larger than the PC screen. All areas of the current page can be viewed by using the scroll bars to the right and at the bottom of the drawing editor window. The arrow keys (arrow keys) on the keyboard can also be used for this.
3.5.7.1.
Adding and moving function blocks

Function blocks can be added and moved in the working mode.
21
REF 542plus

1MRS755871

Determining the cycle time

Once a new application has been created and loaded into the REF 542plus device, its cycle time must be checked. The cyclic time is displayed on the HMI menu Service/Statistics.
22
1MRS755871

REF 542plus
The application cycle time must be less than 30 ms to ensure proper functioning of REF 542plus. Longer times can result in poor and dangerous performances like missing events and binary I/O changes.
3.5.7.2.
Adding and moving a connection

The function blocks can be linked to each other in the drawing mode. By positioning the cursor over a connection point on a function block or at the beginning or at the end point of a connection, the cursor changes to a shape of a soldering iron. A total of 512 connections can be added. There are 502 numbers available for connections (11 512). Connection numbers 0 10 are for internal use.
Add a connection
When the soldering iron is displayed, hold the right mouse button down and drag the mouse to make a connection. The connection ends when the mouse button is released. The terminals of two function blocks can be connected in this way. The connection can also end in the FUPLA without connecting to a terminal. The connection number is automatically 1 or 2 in this case to indicate that it does not connect two function blocks. Use the configuration dialog box to assign a previously used connection number to the connection. Connections with the same connection number can be linked even if they do not contact each other. Connections run at right angles or in a straight line, therefore also diagonally, depending on their setting. The relevant setting is made in Drawing Menu > View > Wires > Right-angled or Drawing Menu > View > Wires > Straight.

2. Not all the version information is published by the REF 542plus device. If the mandatory information is not published then the download command is not allowed. A REF 542plus V4E02x version should publish the following information: * REF 542plus software/firmware versions are mandatory. Whatever the version is, REF 542plus has to publish them. * Configuration information is optional. Available partially in version older than V4D02x. Remember that sometimes the information can be also a blank space and it can be a valid value. * Char map information is mandatory. Available only in V4D02x REF 542plus versions. Needed only for REF 542plus V4E02 with HMI V4, which is the HMI version until now. For the new version HMI V5 the Unicode fonts are mandatory for displaying international characters. 3. The version of the REF 542plus in general must be compliant with the REF 542plus Configuration Tool. For example, if the device is a V4E02x, then the configuration tool should also be of the same version. For more detailed information, contact your local ABB representative. 4. The Char Map for HMI V4 or the Unicode fonts for HMI V5 in the REF 542plus device must match with the String file (STC) active in the configuration to be downloaded. For example, if the device contains the Latin char map, then only configurations with String file using this char map are downloadable. The REF 542plus device with HMI V4 is provided by default with a Latin char map, thus if another one is needed, then download first the new char map (for example Cyrillic, refer to Section 4.2.10. Char maps (For operation with HMI V4)). From the version V4E04x onwards, the application of the HMI V4 is not recommended anymore.
The configuration of REF 542plus is always uploadable from the device. The REF 542plus Configuration Tool is able to perform such action, if the following conditions are valid: Communication between REF 542plus HMI unit and REF 542plus Configuration Tool is established and working. To check the connection, check the version of the REF 542plus device (refer to Section 3.5.9.2. Connect). Follow the troubleshooting procedure of the download above.

The authorized clients can belong to priority or non-priority connection pools with the constraint that the total number of priority and non-priority connections will be 4. When you enter client IPs in the priority pool from the authorized IP address, the number of free connections will be automatically updated. In fact, the number of non-priority client connections will be defined as the number of remaining free connections (not used by the priority pool) after the priority client connection configuration. It is also necessary to configure the maximum number of connections allowed for each IP address belonging to the priority connection pool (in the above example the IP 10.10.10.176 of priority pool has 2 available connections, while the IPs 10.10.10.172 and 10.10.10.171 belong to two non-priority connections).
Access Control Module Disabled

If the Access Control Module is disabled, all the client's IPs are accepted. The configuration or priority pool/non-priority pools' client remains the same as described above with the freedom to add any IP (it is no longer present in the list of authorized IPs). In the below example, see figure 3.5.9.4.-4, the IP 10.10.10.175 is a priority client with 1 connection and the number of free connections for non-priority pools is then equal to 3.

Options for adding required functions to the configuration of the REF 542plus device Settings that can be made in the configuration software to adapt the REF 542plus to the application Configuring the function chart or plan (FUPLA) to the bay in which the unit is operating Implementing the protection functions by using the related function blocks All other function blocks that can be added to the FUPLA
If the unit has been delivered with a custom application, this section helps in understanding the function blocks with respect to their function and configuration. The variety of functions offered by REF 542plus results mainly from the PLC-like programming option provided by the REF 542plus Configuration Tool. Various function blocks are linked to one another in one FUPLA. The objects that can be added to the function chart are referred to as function blocks. They are used to address binary and analog inputs and outputs and to define switching operations, interlocking and protection functions. Each function block has inputs and/or outputs that can be used within the FUPLA. To open the configuration dialog box of a function block, point the wanted function block and double-click the left mouse button. Normally a configuration or an application has been created to be precisely customized for the purpose and location location of the REF 542plus device. The configuration has been loaded and saved into the related REF 542plus device. The configuration specifies what protection functions are applied, when and what interlockings are activated and what initial variables are set for the analog and binary outputs of REF 542plus. The application implemented with the FUPLA provides exactly the protection, measurement, supervision and control functions that are required.
4.1.
Connecting inputs and outputs

The REF 542plus device receives a great variety of information on the equipment being monitored through its analog and binary inputs. These input quantities are digitally processed in the function chart. The REF 542plus outputs are addressed from the FUPLA, for example to trip the switching objects in the bay. To enable the REF 542plus inputs and outputs to be used in the function chart, they are represented by function blocks, the switching objects. This enables several inputs and outputs to be combined.

Slave Address
Enter the REF 542plus base unit slave address in the Slave Address text box. This address allows the user to connect more REF 542plus base units to the same HMI. It has nothing to do with the REF 542plus communication card interface.
Setting range: Default: 1 254 99
Since it is possible to connect more REF 542plus base units to the HMI, the engineer must configure the referred base unit. In fact, the REF 542plus Configuration Tool uploads/downloads the configuration from/to the REF 542plus base unit addressed by the base unit slave address in the serial port configuration.
Fig. 4.2.1.-2 shows a PC with the REF 542plus Configuration Tool that is connected to an HMI via serial communication port (COM1 or COM2). The HMI is shared by three REF 542plus base units, which have three different addresses (on a RS-485 bus). In order to connect the REF 542plus Configuration Tool with a certain REF 542plus base unit it is necessary to configure the right salve unit address. For

example if the REF 542plus Configuration Tool wants to communicate with the first REF 542plus base unit, then the slave address base unit (in the serial port dialog box) must be set to 99.
A051678
Fig. 4.2.1.-2
PC connected via HMI to several base units
The base unit address set in the Serial Port dialog box can be different from the slave address set into the hardware configuration. This is the case when it is necessary to change a slave address of a REF 542plus base unit. For example if it is needed to change the second REF 542plus base unit address (in Fig. 4.2.1.-2) from 100 to 103, it is necessary to communicate with the current base unit which has address 100, but then configure the hardware configuration with 103. After the download of the configuration, REF 542plus restarts with the new address 103. Any further connection request with address 100 fails.
By default, in production, the REF 542plus base unit is set with address 99 (which is the default of the REF 542plus Configuration Tool as well).

0 mA = and 4 mA =
In the 0 mA = and 4 mA text boxes the user can specify what multiple of the rated value of a measured or calculated value is mapped to the initial value of the analog output board. The initial value of the output range of the analog output changes here depending on the mode marked. If 0 mA or 4 mA can be tapped at the analog output, the current measured or calculated value is [-4.000 +4.000] multiplied by its rated value.
Setting range: Default: -0.0000 +4.0000 +0.0000 (increment: 0.0001)
20 mA =
In the 20 mA = text box the user can specify what multiple of the rated value of a measured or calculated value is mapped to the final value of the analog output board. If 20 mA is generated at the analog output, the current measured or calculated value is [-4.000 +4.000] multiplied by its rated value.
Setting range: Default: -4.0000 +4.0000 +0.0000 (increment: 0.0001)
Mode
Select the output mode in the Mode area. This sets the output range to which the input range set above is mapped. The option with zero signal current allows a continuous current to flow through the line from the analog output board to the display device. This enables an error message to be generated by the display device if no signal is received over the line. However, this limits the output range.

Installed bitmap files for Latin char set
A bitmaps folder contains the chars from ASCII code 32 to 255. A bitmap char is 8x8 pixels black and white. The normal background is white and the char/symbol is black. In order to display a readable char the following rule must be followed: the bitmap must be edited with a char of 5x7 pixels. The rest of the pixels can be used by the HMI for special effects (underline, and so on). The char bitmap file name must follow this rule: <string>_xyz.bmp The <string> can be the charset name, and it must not contain _. The digits xyz instead represent the ASCII code of the char (always between 032 and 255).

Binary IO (switching objects)

This section describes the function blocks that are available in Drawing Menu > Insert > Binary IO. The function blocks described here are switching objects. A switching object represents one or more combined binary inputs and outputs in the function chart. Instead of function chart the abbreviation FUPLA is used in the following. A switching object enables signals at the binary inputs to be used in the FUPLA. For example, the message from a sensor that monitors the spring of a circuit-breaker or the position messages of a switching device. A switching object also enables signals to be sent to the binary outputs from the FUPLA. For example, a switching command can be sent to a switching device in this way. Both power and signal outputs can be addressed in case of outputs. All the switching objects described in the following sections have identically structured FUPLA displays and configuration dialog boxes. To clarify the principle, a switching object 2-1 is described below. However, all elements of the FUPLA display and of the configuration dialog box are explained with the individual switching objects. The explanation there is somewhat shorter.
115
REF 542plus

1MRS755871
The switching object labeling already shows the principal structure. An example of a switching object 2-1 can be seen in the next figure. The above mentioned switching object represents the logical combination of two binary outputs and one binary input.
A051718
Fig. 4.3.2.-1
Example of a switching object in the function chart (Fupla symbol)
Number of the switching object

The sequential number is displayed in the upper left side of the function block in the FUPLA. It is automatically assigned by the configuration software and updated when function blocks are deleted or new ones are added. It is used to localize the relevant function block in the event of error messages from the configuration software. It is also required in the internal processing of the function blocks in REF 542plus.
Connection comment/connection number

Every connection drawn in the function chart is assigned a connection number. A comment is also attached to the connection. Comment and number are displayed with every connection in the function chart and the connection number is also displayed in the configuration dialog boxes of the connected function blocks.
Number and type of the physical input

Physical binary inputs from the primary system are always placed in the right half of the FUPLA display of a switching object. Their connections are also on the right. The signal that is displayed to the physical input can be tapped at the relevant connection. The type (BI - binary input and so on) and the input number of the physical input are also shown in the function chart display.
Number and type of the physical output

Physical binary outputs to the primary system are always placed in the left half of the FUPLA display of a switching object. Their connections are also on the left. A logical signal to the appropriate connection starts, if authorized, an output relay switching operation. To enable this, a logical 1 must be at the IL input and a logical
116
1MRS755871

REF 542plus
0 at the BL input. Otherwise, the interlocking status LED turns to red or the switching operation is suppressed. The type (OP - Open or CL - close and so on) and the channel number of the physical input are also displayed in the FUPLA.
Pulse output
The connection pulse output is available only with switching objects that represent at least one physical input and output. Because most switchgears can only switch with short impulses, a closing time of 0 to 65000 ms is provided. This logical 1 is canceled in case of switching objects with a limit stop if a return confirmation regarding the successful switching operation has been transmitted over a binary input of the switching object. Switching objects have a limit stop if they represent at least one physical input and output.
Limit stop
If inputs and outputs are combined in one switching object and internally interconnected, the function block includes a limit stop. A limit stop operates when the wanted position of a switch is reached and the reconfirmation is received via a binary input. The switching impulse (generated at P) is canceled, even if the configured impulse length has not yet been reached. The connection time monitor output Time> is available only with switching objects that represent at least one physical input and output. A logical 1 is displayed at the connection if the impulse time (at pulse output P) has expired and a reconfirmation regarding the successful switching operation is not received by the binary input.
Interlocking input
The interlocking input (interlocking) connection is available only with switching objects that represent at least one physical output. To enable a switching operation, there must be a logical 1 at the connection IL. If a switching operation is started and the interlocking input IL is at logical 0, an error message "interlocking violation is generated and displayed at the REF 542plus control panel using the LED provided for that purpose (interlocking status LED).
Blocking input
The connection blocking input (blocking) is available only with switching objects that represent at least one physical output. If a logical 1 is applied to this connection, a switching operation can be blocked. A logical 1 at the BL connection places the function block out of service. If the interlocking input IL is set to logical 1, a switching operation would be allowed. However, this can be blocked by a logical 1 signal at the connection BL. If a signal for the switching operation is given to the connection of the physical output, no switching takes place and an "interlocking violation" error message (interlocking status LED) is also generated.

Field bus address

The combined inputs can be addressed under a Field bus address as shown in the figure below, in which a configuration dialog box is displayed after double clicking the FUPLA symbol. The Field bus address is to be selected in the configuration dialog box.

Note the different relay types.
Imp.length [ms]
Because most switchgears can only switch with short impulses, a closing time of 0 to 65000 ms can be written in the configuration dialog box under impulse length, which has exactly the same effect on the current output. This "extended switching signal is generated as logical 1 at the pulse output P connection. This logical 1 is canceled in the case of switching objects with a limit stop if a return confirmation regarding the successful switching operation has been transmitted over a binary input of the switching object. Switching objects have a limit stop if they represent at least one physical input and output.
No. of cycles
Enter the value of the mechanical switching cycle counter at the circuit-breaker in the No. of cycles text box. The value entered in the No. of cycles text box is the starting value of the switching cycle counter in REF 542plus. When the configuration is exported from REF 542plus to the PC, the current value of the switching cycles is entered to this position. In this program version the text box is only used by the Switching Object 2-2 if a circuit-breaker is applied. It has no function with all other switching objects.
Field bus address

The Field bus address is shown at the bottom left side of the FUPLA beside the switching object: "Adr.: XX. It is automatically assigned in the configuration dialog box, so every Field bus address is only used once.

Function
Switching Objects 2-2 function block actuates two physical binary outputs from the FUPLA. The reconfirmation is received via two physical binary inputs, which can be defined in the FUPLA. This switching object can also be used to actuate a circuitbreaker.
Connections
IL inputs are interlocking inputs, one per represented output. A switching operation can be conducted if a logical 1 is here. BL input is a locking input. If there is a logical 1 signal here, the switching operations of the represented output are blocked. OP, CL inputs (left) are FUPLA inputs for actuating each time the related physical output. A logical signal to this function block input starts, if enabled, a corresponding switching operation of the related output relay. SYNCH. input is not a synchronized input. A closing operation is only allowed if a logical 0 signal is present at the input. RES. GRANT input is a reservation grant input. A switching operation is only possible, if the logical 1 signal is present at the input. This input is normally used in connection with LON communication per LAG (LON Application Guide) version 1.4 as confirmation the reservation request. Time > output is a time monitor output. If a logical 1 can be tapped here, the set impulse time is expired and a return confirmation regarding the correct switching operation is no longer received over the represented binary input. OP, CL outputs (right): Channel definition of the signal outputs coming from the status information of the primary switching device. P outputs are pulse outputs, one per represented output. A logical 1 can be tapped for the duration of the switching operation of the output relay DEF OPEN output is a defined open output, which generates a logical 1 signal if the switching device has reached the definitive open position. DEF CLOSE output is a defined close output, which generates a logical 1 signal if the switching device has reached the definitive close position. DEF POS output is a defined Position output, which generates a logical 1 signal if the switching device has reached the definitive open or closed position. ERROR POS output is an error position output, which generates a logical 1 signal if both open and close output has a logical 1 signal or if the switching operation is interrupted by overreaching the time monitor.

This switching object can only be used with the binary input output board with solid state relays. One switching object 2-2 H-Bridge or 4-4 H-Bridge can be used in the application per board.
Function
The function block Switching Object 4-4 H-Bridge is used to actuate four binary physical outputs, which are specially designed for the motor control unit. The required return confirmations are received via the five physical binary inputs. The function block itself assumes the subsequent sequential control. The VALID signaling output signals a valid position of the 3-position switch:

The valid position is reached when the pulse outputs are logical 0 and the binary inputs signal is in one of the three positions above. The binary input SUP/earth switch supervision enables sensors that also supervise the all-pole correct earthing to be connected. If this binary input is not used, the connection pin on the function block must be set to logical 1 or connected with the earth switch OFF connection pin.

Function block Module for truck
Function
The Module for truck function block is used to move or hide switch symbols on the LCD. Fixed symbols (transducers, motors, generators and so on) cannot be hidden or moved because they do not have a unique Field bus address. The switch symbol interconnections on the LCD screen with the switching objects in the function chart are shown with the Field bus address. In the same way, the function block module for thrust is linked to the switching symbol that is to be moved or hidden with the Field bus address.

1MRS755871

REF 542plus
Connections
If the Jump (move) input is set to logical 1, a symbol on the LCD is moved 11 pixels to the left. If the input is set to logical 0 again, the symbol on the LCD resumes its initial position. If the Disapp. input is set to logical 1 again, the symbol on the LCD is hidden. If the input is set to logical 0 again, the symbol on the LCD becomes visible again.
Typical application
If the power circuit-breaker is on a trolley (thrust), it must also be possible to show its end positions on the LCD. The power circuit breaker symbol must be correctly displayed depending on the current position of the thrust (operating or test position). In addition, if the power circuit-breaker is no longer connected with the other secondary technology, this status must be shown on the LCD. For example, this occurs when the symbol is hidden.

Function block IO-Supervision
Function
The IO-Supervision function block provides messages from the trip circuit supervision to the function chart. The REF 542plus Global Settings referring to trip circuit supervision and the FUPLA are linked in this way. The single messages can be blocked independently of one another. In addition, the entire function block can be blocked; a signal regarding that can be tapped at one of its outputs. The error messages from the trip circuit supervision cannot be suppressed on the LCD screen. Up to two output channels can be monitored for the first two binary input/output boards (cards). The trip circuit supervision must be activated in the Global Settings of the configuration software for every channel.
Connections
Because the labeling of the inputs and outputs is partly abbreviated in the function block and in the configuration dialog box, the list below explains the abbreviation further if necessary.

Flip-Flops
The following sections describe the function blocks that are available in Drawing Menu > Insert > Flip-Flops.
181
REF 542plus

1MRS755871
Flip-Flops are memory elements with two stable states. Switching between the states is referred to as toggling. A suitable actuation (depending on the type of flipflop) switches it to the other state. Because this state remains effective at the outputs of the flip-flop if there are no input signals, they are referred to as memory elements. Some flip-flops are also actuated by a timing input. To enable the time sequence to be taken into account in the logic tables as well, a time before toggling the flip-flop (tn) and a time after toggling (tn+1) are defined. Therefore, output signals before toggling are labeled Qn and Qn+1 after toggling. If the flip-flop has also a timing input, the state before the timing input is labeled index n and the state after the timing input as index n+1. The change of state at the timing input from logical 0 to logical 1 or vice versa is decisive for the switching process. It is referred to as the rising or falling slope.

R-S Flip-Flop
A060039
Function
A logical 1 at the S-input results in a logical 1 at the Q-output. A logical 1 at the Rinput results in a logical 0 at the Q-output. If the input signals are reset to logical 0, the signals remain active at the outputs. If both inputs are at logical 1, the R-input is dominant. However, this state contradicts the basic flip-flop principle of two stable states and must therefore be avoided.

With the rising slope the signals at the inputs are input. If both inputs are at logical 1, both outputs are at logical 1 with the rising slope at the timing input.

Type Digital signal (active high) Description Blocking signal
When the BS signal becomes active, the measurement supervision function is reset no matter its state. This means that all the output pins go low generating the required events (if any), and all the internal registers and timers are cleared. The protection function will then remain in idle state until the BS signal goes low.

Measurement mode
Measurement supervision functions evaluate the measured amount of positive and negative phase sequence values at the fundamental frequency.
Operation criteria
If the negative phase sequence value exceeds the setting threshold value (Start value) in the NPS based functions, or if the positive phase sequence value falls below the setting threshold (Start value) the function enters the START status and raises the warning. After the preset operating time (Time delay) has elapsed, the failing signal is generated. The measurement function will come back in passive status and the warning signal will be cleared, if the negative phase sequence value falls below 0.95 the setting threshold value for NPS , or if the positive phase sequence value exceed 1.05 the setting threshold value for PPS. The measurement function will exit the failing status and the failing signal will be cleared when the negative phase sequence value falls below 0.4 the setting threshold value for NPS, or if the positive phase sequence value exceed 1.05 the setting threshold value for PPS.
Setting groups
Two parameter sets can be configured for each of the measurement supervision functions.

Function block Analog Input 20mA
Function
Up to 48 Analog Input 20mA objects (instances) can be used. Each object can be assigned to one of the six Analog Inputs 20mA of the REF 542plus. Depending on the state of the measured value of the dedicated sensor, the analog input 20mA object generates a valid/not valid signal. If the measured value of the dedicated sensor exceeds or falls below the configured threshold, a warning signal is generated.
Typical application
The threshold supervision of the Analog Input 20mA objects can, for example, be used for supervision of gas density or temperature. Several thresholds can be assigned to each sensor.

Function
The Energy management function block is used to influence the internal energy calculations in REF 542plus. On one hand the count process can be stopped and on the other hand a return block can be activated. In this case the energy is not counted backwards if the energy direction changes. Depending on the hardware configuration the power is calculated from the current and voltage values at the analog inputs. The internal REF 542plus time clock is then used to calculate the energy. The energy values can be displayed on the LCD. The internal energy calculation functions only with configured power calculation.

Energy Pulse Output
A060066
Fig. 4.3.6.6.-1
Function block Energy Pulse Output
Function
The Energy Pulse Output function block sends pulses that represent a specific energy quantity to its output (energy). The pulses are generated based on the internal energy calculations of REF 542plus. The DSP calculates the energy and sends standardized energy packets to the microcontroller. This receives a number of standardized energy packets about twice a second and calculates the absolute energy amount from them. The energy amount is then converted to the corresponding No. of cycles. If there is a remainder after the conversion into pulses, it is included in the next conversion. The energy pulse output can send up to 70 pulses after a calculation. Additional pulses are ignored and the overflow output is then set to logical 1. If the number of calculated pulses is reduced below 65 again, the overflow output is reset to logical 0.
211
REF 542plus

1MRS755871
To add the Energy Pulse Output function block, the power calculation must be activated.
Use the Energy Pulse Output function block only with binary input/ output boards with solid state relays. The conventional relays are limited in their number of switching cycles and therefore are not suited for this.
Typical application
Use the Energy Pulse Output function block to control an external energy display with the pulses from REF 542plus. Example: Application in a system with rated voltage Ur 11 kV and rated current Ir 300A Under a rated load condition with cos phi = 0.9 and CT rated current 300A, the active power is 3 x 11 kV x 300 A x 0.9 = 5144 kW. The energy portion per second is 5144 kW x 1 h / 3600 sec = 1,43 kWh. In case that the setting parameter Pulse per kWh = 0.7 is selected, the value of 1 Pulse is equal to 1 kWh / 0.7 = 1.43 kWh. As a consequence, a pulse is generated every second at the ENERGY output. If the value of the setting parameter is enlarge, for example from 0.7 to 2.1 , which means that the value of 1 Pulse is equal to 0.43 kWh, three pulses are generated each second.

Bay Reserve
A060094
Fig. 4.3.7.7.-1
Function block Bay Reserve
Function
The function block Bay Reserve is used to handle the SELECT/RESERVE mechanism and is needed once per bay. A maximum of 8 switching devices can be served by this function block. As well as the internal bay RESERVE requests, the RESERVE requests from other bays can be processed.
Reservation request
A switching device requires a reservation by putting a logical signal 1 on the related input RES.REQ.i (i = 1 8). This request can be configured by the input INT.REQ. i (i = 1 8) either only as an internal bay request or as a request, in which external bays must also be taken into account.
241
REF 542plus

1MRS755871
Reservation confirmation
The reservation is granted if the following conditions are fulfilled:
* *
No switching devices have already asked for reservation. No reservation request is present.
In case of an external bay reservation, all bays have already confirmed the reservation. In case of granted reservation, the output RES.GRANT.i (i = 1 8) for the switching device, which is requesting the reservation, changes to logical signal 1. The same happens with the output RESERVED. The reservation is then granted until the reservation is reset by the corresponding switching device. If an external reservation is configured by INT.RES.i (i = 1 8) = 0, the request is executed after the input GRANT FROM ANY is set to logical 0, which means that all other bay reservations have been reset. Subsequently the output EXT.RES is set to logical 1. This information must then be transmitted to the host of the substation control system by the 16-Bit Read function block. The Bay Reserve function block now waits for the logical signal 1 at the input GRANT FROM ALL and the input GRANT VALID, which indicates the validity of the information on the field bus.
Reservation request from other bays

A logical 1 signal at the input of EXT.RES.REQ. shows a reservation request from another bay. The bay must confirm the reservation and cannot generate any bay internal reservation any more. The bay confirms the reservation under the following condition:
* *
The bay is not internally or externally reserved. The input EXT.REQ.VALID is set to a logical 1 signal and indicates the validity of the reservation on the field bus.
The reservation is confirmed, if the related output RES-GRANT.i (i = 1 8) becomes a logical 1 signal. This information must then be transmitted by the field bus to the external bay, which is requesting the reservation.
Connections
Input RES.REQ.i (i = 1 8): If a reservation of the assigned switching device is requested, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. Input INT.REQ.i (i = 1 8): If an external reservation for the assigned switching device is needed, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. If only internal reservation for the assigned switching device is needed, the input is set with a logical 0 signal. Input GRANT FROM ALL: If all other external bays have confirmed the reservation, the input is set with a logical 1 signal.
242
1MRS755871

REF 542plus
Input GRANT FROM ANY: If at least one external bay still indicates a confirmation of a previous reservation, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. Input GRANT VALID: If all reservation confirmations are valid after cyclic actuation by the field bus, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. Input EXT:RES.REQ.: If a reservation request from an other bay is present, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. Input EXT.REQ.VALID: If the external request is valid, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. Input BLOCK: If all reservations, inclusive the ongoing reservation, is blocked, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. Input OVERRIDE: If the mechanism of the reservation is set out of order, the input is set with a logical 1 signal. All reservation requests, internally and externally are granted. Output RES.GRANT.i (i = 1 8): If reservation of the assigned switching device is granted, the output becomes logical 1. Output EXT.RES.: If reservation of the assigned switching device is granted, the output becomes logical 1. Output EXT.GRANT.: To confirm the related external bays, that this bay is already prepared for executing the reservation request, the output becomes logical 1. Output RESERVED: To indicate the reservation status of this bay, the output becomes logical 1.

Switch Authority Allocation
A060097
Fig. 4.3.7.8.-1
Function block Switch Authority Allocation
Function
This function block is used to set and to verify the switch authority allocation of all switching devices installed in the switchgear. Without this function block the status of the electronic key on the HMI as Local Control Unit is taken as the control status (NO CONTROL, LOCAL, REMOTE, LOCAL & REMOTE). This function block can be applied to override the control status of the HMI electronic key or to extend the REMOTE definition for the allocation of the switch authority. In this case, when the control status evaluated by the function is REMOTE the switch authority allocation can be assigned to the Station Control Unit or to the Remote Control System.
Connection
Input VALID: Logical 1 signal makes the status of all inputs valid. Logical 0 causes the reset of all the output signals, that is all the switching commands are rejected. The output signals will be reset with a delay of 500 ms. Input OFF: Logical 1 signal will set the control status as NO CONTROL. The OFF output signal will be put at logical 1 and the LOCAL/REMOTE/STATION output signals will be put at logical 0, i.e. all switching commands are rejected. Input EXTERNAL: Logical 1 signal leads to an evaluation of the switch authority allocation to the EXT.KEY LOCAL/REMOTE input signals. The HMI electronic key state cannot be updated anymore. In case of logical 0, the function will evaluate
245
REF 542plus

1MRS755871
the switch authority allocation from the HMI electronic key. In this case the EXT. KEY LOCAL/REMOTE input signals are ignored and the HMI electronic key state can be updated. Input EXT.KEY LOCAL: Logical 1 signal, together with EXTERNAL input at logical 1, activates the LOCAL control status. Logical 0 signal deactivates the LOCAL control status. Input EXT.KEY REMOTE: Logical 1 signal, together with EXTERNAL input at logical 1, activates the REMOTE control status. Logical 0 signal deactivates the REMOTE control status. Input STATION LOCAL: Logical 1 rising slope will enable the local control of the station. Input STATION REMOTE: Logical 1 rising slope will change the station control to remote control. Input STATION KEY LOCAL: Logical 1 rising slope advises that the station key is set to local. Input STATION KEY REMOTE: Logical 1 rising slope advises that the station key is set to remote. Input FORCE VALID: Logical 1 signal forces the control status as REMOTE. Output VALID: Logical 1 signal is present if the input signal is valid. Output OFF: Logical 1 signals NO CONTROL status, that is all switching commands are rejected. Output LOCAL: Logical 1 signals LOCAL control status, that is switching commands from HMI Control Unit are accepted. Output STATION: Logical 1 signals station control status, that is switching commands from Station Control Unit are accepted. It is activated in REMOTE control status when the local control of the station is enabled (input STATION LOCAL) or the station key is set to local (input STATION KEY LOCAL). Output REMOTE: Logical 1 signals remote control status, that is switching command from Remote Control System are accepted. It is activated in REMOTE control status when the remote control of the station is enabled (input STATION REMOTE) and the station key is set to remote (input STATION KEY REMOTE)

Parameter Set Selector
A060100
Fig. 4.3.9.1.-1
Function block Parameter Set Selector
Function
The Parameter Set Selector function block can switch the parameters set of the protections via FUPLA. The parameter set can be changed if the device is in run mode and one of the activation inputs has a rising edge. After a parameter set selection the outputs of the function block are updated, showing which parameter set is active. Additionally the FUPLA signals show command and storing feedback and status.
Connections
Input ACTIVATE SET1: If REF 542plus is in run mode and input shows a rising edge, parameter set 1 is activated. Default: The input pin is bound to LOW (wire num-ber 1 ;the wire # for open inputs).

REF 542plus
Input ACTIVATE SET2: If REF 542plus is in run mode and input shows a rising edge, parameter set 2 is activated. Default: The input pin is bound to LOW (wire num-ber 1 ; the wire # for open inputs). Input DISABLE COMMANDS: A logical 1 signal at this input disables changing of the active parameter set when a command is detected. In this case, that is command detected while SetCommandDisable input is at logical 1, the SetCommandFail output is set to logical 1. Input DISABLE STORING: A logical 1 signal at this input disables FLASH storing of configuration at successful commands. Output SET1 ACTIVE: High if Parameter Set 1 is active. Output SET2 ACTIVE: High if Parameter Set 2 is active. Output SET CMD ENABLED: A logical 1 at this output indicates that a set command is enabled. The enable conditions are: Logical 0 at Disable Commands input, Autoreclose is not active, and Alarm LED is not active. Output SET CMD FAIL: A logical 1 at this output indicates that the last set command has been detected but it has not been processed due to fail in the enable conditions. Output STORING: A logical 1 at this output indicates that a configuration storing is active. Note that the configuration storing signaling is independent from the parameter set selector command, that is it is at logical 1 also after a parameterization (HMI, communication board and so on) or after a configuration download. Output STORING FAIL: A logical 1 at this output indicates that the last configuration storing has failed. Note that the configuration storing fail signaling is independent from the parameter set selector command, that is it is at logical 1 also when a parameterization (HMI, communication board and so on) or a configuration download storing fails.
