Chapter 2. Application Development

2.1.1

Introduction

Users can create, edit or delete installations as required. Each installation is associated with a text file whose name and location are the user's responsibility. The installation contains the following information: -

-

2.1.2

Installation Text. All installations have associated text. Communications Protocol. Each installation communicates via a single protocol which can be selected from a list of protocols. Type of Communication. A certain communications protocol can be supported by different hardware and ways of accessing them. The type of hardware and access determine the 'type of communication'. Additional Information. Depending on the protocol and type of communication, the user should provide certain additional information in order to be able to dialog with the installation.

Accessing the Installation Dialog

Selecting the Protections menu option on the initial screen calls up the menu shown on the right. By selecting the first menu option, Installations, you access a dialog that allows you to explore the PC's file system and manage the various installations.

This dialog is a customized version of the standard Windows 'open' dialog. You will first see the ..\datos\subestaciones subdirecty, which is the default location where the installations are created. Only files with an sbs extension are shown, i.e. files containing information about installations. In the screen on the right, the file sub_tests.sbs is selected. Its complete path is shown under the Path heading and its contents are shown for informational purposes only under the Preview heading. Each installation is represented by a single file, so you can manage the installations just like you would handle a regular file.


2.1 Defining and Managing Installations

You can delete a installation by highlighting the file and pressing delete. This deletes the selected file and, consequently, the installation. You can Create a installation by entering a nonexistent file name in the dialog box next to Name and pressing Edit , or you can Edit an existing installation by selecting the relevant file and pressing Edit. It is important to note that users are free to create a installation in the location of their choice within the directory tree, to organize the installation by directories as required and to know where are those installations and directories. In either case a dialog like the one shown on the right is called up, where the only difference is that the heading shown at the top of the dialog will be either Create installation or Edit installation. The above dialog box shows the default settings entered by Zivercomplus® when a new installation is created.



2.1.3

Editing the Installation

Whether you are creating or editing a installation, the way the data are edited is the same: -

The Installation Text field is always editable. The Protocol field lets the user select a specific communications protocol; in our case only PROCOME 3.0 is available. The Communication Type field lets you indicate the hardware used for data transmission, which can be: o Direct, in this case the rest of the additional data are included in the SERIAL box, except the Telephone and Modem fields (see above screen). o RTC, Switched Telephone Network; in this case the rest of the additional data are included in the SERIAL box. o LAN, Local Area Network; in this case the rest of the additional data are included in the NETWORK box.

Depending on the selection enabled in Communication Type, only meaningful fields may be edited in the SERIAL and NETWORK boxes. The meaning and range of each of the fields is described individually below. -

-

-

-

Installation Text: text indicating the selected installation. Protocol: indicates the communications protocol to be used; the only value allowed is PROCOME. Communication Type: the allowed values are: o DIRECT, direct communication via serial line. o RTC, Communication via Switched Telephone Network. o LAN, Communication via Local Area Network. Speed: the speed of communication. The allowed values are: 300 9600 600 14400 1200 19200 2400 38400 4800 Select default values (for speed): allows users to indicate whether or not default values are accepted for the selected speed. o YES selects the default values (cannot be edited). o NO lets the values be edited. Users are advised to use default values, and in any case not to use values that are smaller than the existing default values:  T. first character (ms): indicates the maximum delay time for arrival of the first character.  T. message (ms): indicates the maximum delay time allowed between the arrival of the first and last character of the message.  T. between retries (ms): indicates the set delay time before retrying.  Nº. of retries: indicates the number of retries. Data bits: the allowed values are: o 7 o 8


2.1 Defining and Managing Installations

-

-

Stop bits: the allowed values are: o 1 o 2 Parity o No parity. o Odd. o Even. Port COM1 COM5 COM2 COM6 COM3 COM7 COM4 COM8 Telephone. Telephone number for connecting with the installation. MODEM: indicates the modem to be used for communications. The Zivercomplus® program lets you use any installed modem, according to the list shown in Start > Configuration > Control Panel > Modems. o ZIV UCS, indicates you are communicating with the protection through the ZIV Central Installation Unit. o Transparent, indicates you are communicating with the protection transparently through a concentrator. IP Address, indicates the IP address of the ZIV UCS through which you will interact with the protection. Port, if there are no special circumstances, the value should be 32001. T. message (ms): indicates the maximum message delay time for network communications. The default value is 5000 and there are three retries.

It is important to note that: -

2.1.4

Any modem that can be installed under WINDOWS® can be used to communicate with the installations. Direct relay communications (PC serial cable <-> protection) should be viewed as a particular means of communicating with a installation. In fact, there is no explicit option in Zivercomplus® for directly communicating with a protection, so this must be done by creating a installation with the DIRECT option in the 'Communication Type' field.

Communicating with the Installation

In the installation management dialog, the Communicate button lets you go directly to the dialog that lets you communicate with the installation selected at that time. As described in section 2.2.1 of Chapter 2, this is one of the two ways of accessing the communications input dialog.

2.2.1

Connection

Dialog with a protection is always through an installation, even in case of direct communication (see section 2.1.3 of Chapter 2). The installation connection dialog can be accessed by pressing the Communicate button as described in section 2.1.4 or from the start screen menu shown in section 2.1.2 (both in Chapter 2). In this case, a list of the last instalations with which communications have been established is displayed in the IEDs submenu, between the Instalations and Emulate menu options. In the example shown at right, the last instalation accessed was Sb Example. This list can have up to a maximum of 10 items.

A dialog like the one shown on the right is displayed upon selecting any of the available instalations. The instalation text - in this example the text is Sb Example - is displayed under the Communicate title. Under the fixed Preview text there is a window where you can see the contents of the file that supports the installation. It is for informational purposes only, that is, you cannot make any communication setup changes here. Under the fixed Addresses text a list is displayed with the possible addresses for a protection within an installation. In the example, the '0' is highlighted in the address column. By selecting the address of the protection equipment you wish to communicate with and pressing OK, the Zivercomplus® program tries to communicate with the selected address.


2.2 Connecting and Communicating with Equipment

In case of an error, the program shows successive messages (shown below) before returning to the start screen.

The protection equipment may have a loaded configuration; if this is the case, then you are informed of it and sent the (univocal) ID for that configuration. The Zivercomplus® program saves its configurations in files with the cfp extension. If the received ID matches one of the configurations in the Zivercomplus® program, then it loads the configuration and establishes the connection. If it is not stored in the Zivercomplus® program, then before asking the protection equipment for the configuration, the Zivercomplus® program asks the user to select a directory and file where the configuration is to be saved. If you do not select a directory and file, then you will work without a configuration. The configuration complements the protection equipment's operation. The items obtained from the configuration (settings, commands) are distinguishable because there is a before their regular symbols.

shown

Another possibility is that the protection equipment has a password. If so, you will be asked to enter it: Also, if Zivercomplus® is accessed from Intelitool’s setup program for specific equipment, the user will be informed, if applicable, that there is no coincidence between the model that corresponds to the identifier received and the identifier expected, and this will enable the user to continue with the communication, or end the same.

The final objective of Intelitool’s configuration tool when it accesses Zivercomplus® for a specific equipment is reading and writing settings on the CID, and forward compact configurations (CPTs) to the equipment; not all settings are contemplated in the CID, but only those bearing the logo :



2.2.2

Initial Communication Screen

2.2.2.a

Starting a Session

If you connect successfully, the program displays a screen like the one shown below, with all the basic left-hand nodes open.

The general appearance of the communications screens is similar to that of the Windows File Manager: a panel on the left-hand side with nodes and a panel on the right-hand side with nodes and terminal items. Nodes are depicted by a

or

symbol and toggle between open ( ) and closed ( ).



A description of the nodes on the left-hand side of the screen follows - down to the first three levels: -

: Indicates you are connected to a installation whose descriptive text is 'Sb Example'.

-

-

-

: Indicates that through the above installation you are connected to a protection located at the '000' address, the model is '#IRVA1N***100*A' and it has a configuration whose descriptive text is 'CONFIG_05.12.21'. It is important that the configuration text is easily visible, because its presence determines the protection equipment's operation in a major way. The configuration will be addressed later on. When communication with the protection equipment fails for any reason, the status is indicated with a red X ( ). When communication is restored, the previous status is shown. Status: displays a tree with all the status items; that is, instant and consequently perishable – information sent by the protection equipment, and which it makes no sense to edit from the PC, at least not directly. For example: date and time, pending record types, unit status, instant measures, etc. Configuration: provides access to a screen which allows management of two things from the PC: the user curve and the configuration. It is not a dropdown item.

-

Settings: provides access to the settings tree, which includes protection equipment operating parameters that can be edited from the protection itself, such as: reclosing times, trip permissions, masks for the different events, configuration of Inputs / Outputs / LEDs, etc.

-

Control Operations: permits at least two things, namely, editing the active group and setting the protection time. If the protection has a configuration with (userdefined) commands loaded, then the protection equipment is a node instead of a

-

2.2.2.b

terminal item; that is Control Operations, is displayed Records: Indicates the access to four fixed items that represent the four types of records that can be included in the protection: Events, Faults, History Logs and Oscillography.

Closing a Session

The left panel has a button , that is enabled only if the installation you are connected to is selected in the left panel. When this button is pressed, the Zivercomplus® program tries to shut down the connection, performing the necessary actions in each case: shutting down port, hanging up phone, etc. The Zivercomplus® program first checks to see whether there is information the user has not saved and which might be convenient to save. Specifically, this refers to records (events, fault conditions, metering logs, oscillographs - see the section Records) the user has retrieved but not saved. If this is the case, the unsaved information is shown and the user is prompted to confirm the session close.



And, if the ZivercomPlus® is accessed from Intelitool’s setup program, the user will be informed that there are settings that have not been saved (if applicable) Within this context, saving entails exporting data according to the CID/XML format, as indicated below. And the settings are left pending saving when forwarded to the equipment successfully, or when any of the local settings is modified, whatever means are used for implementing the same: i.e. load settings by default, copy tables, import settings, etc.

2.2.3

Status

When the Status node is selected in the left panel, the status information is shown in the right panel. When Status is pressed for the first time, in turn, all the status information is requested. You can drill down all the different subdirectories to see the terminal information received from the protection equipment, which is what really matters most. In a regular situation, the status screen can look like this. Pressing CTRL, ALT or SHIFT keys while keeping pressed the node, drops down a list of node "daughter branches" on the right screen panel ( nodes). The right panel, which contains status information, is divided into four columns: -

-

-

Text. Provides text and graphic information about the items and their relationship with other items. Value. This is shown only for terminal values, and there are different ways of displaying the information coming from the protection equipment: date / time for the date and time, and for enabling / disabling, numbers for modules and arguments and counters, symbol to indicate pending records, etc.la Units. Units associated with the value, if any. Additional information. Empty (used for settings).

The top bar contains items for performing actions as well as informational items: -

-

Toggle button for displaying / hiding the left panel, also indicating the status of this panel. This button is common to all right panel types, that are the left panel is always concealable. Normal button that calls up the status when pressed. Toggle button for enabling / disabling status cycle requests; in the cycle request position, the status is requested every 2 seconds. 2.2-6 BCOM0709A ZIVercomPlus: Communications Program  ZIV GRID AUTOMATION, S. L. Zamudio, 2011


-

Toggle button for displaying status measurements, multiplied or not by the relevant transformer ratio.

-

Information bar common to all right-side panels, containing significant information. Shows available information from the session root up to the item selected in the left panel. It always has the following format: \substation text\ddd-model\... If the text fails to fit in the bar, an ellipsis (three dots) is used. If the bar is clicked with the left mouse button, the text is left-aligned or rightaligned, depending on its position at that time. The purpose is to always be able to have all the necessary information available even when the left panel is hidden.

2.2.4

Settings

To explain the Settings screen, a general description of the screen will be given first, and then all the possible operations in this screen will then be described in sequence.

2.2.4.a

General Screen Description

In a normal situation, exploring the settings screen before performing any operations, the user can encounter a situation like this. The right panel, which contains settings information, is divided into six columns: -

Text: provides text and graphic information about the items and their relationship with the other items indicates that the item is a grouping of settings; the rest of the symbols depict different types of settings: o

Indicates a Boolean setting, i.e a setting with only two possible values. In general, the text will be yes / no, although it can also be open / closed, control function / clock, etc. Nothing is in the additional information column.

o

Indicates a decimal setting type. The additional information column indicates the minimum, maximum, step, and default values.

o

Indicates a decimal type value that is converted according to a certain factor. The additional information column indicates the minimum, maximum, step, and default values.

o

represents a factor used to obtain

type values;;

o

Indicates a list-type setting, that is, with several options that are generally displayed in text mode. No additional information is included;

o

Indicates a date-time setting which varies from 00:00 to 24:00. The additional information column indicates its format and range: 'hh:mm (00:00 -24:00)'.



-

-

-

2.2.4.b

1T: shows whether a setting is a single-group setting or a setting with several groups. If there is a # symbol in the column, then it is a single-group setting. If there is nothing, like in the figure, the setting has several groups (4 in this example). Current value: indicates the value of the setting in the equipment; if the setting has not been brought yet we put . Cannot be edited. New value: indicates the working value currently available for operating (send, save, print, etc.). It can be obtained in various ways and it can be edited. Its absence is indicated by too. If ZivercomPlus® is accessed from Intelitool, this new value will be present when accessing the equipment, and is imported from the CID. For adjustments that are not contemplated under the CID, the default value will be applied. Units.: units associated with the setting, if any. Additional information: specific to the setting type; not always present.

Operations with Settings

This section explains the Top Bar items as you are walked through a logical and consistent sequence through all the operations that can be performed with settings. The

button, as with all the screens where it is displayed, shows / conceals the left panel.

which The only exclusively informational item in the top bar is the group selector provides information about how many groups are available in the equipment (in this example, four) and which is the active group: in this case, the active group is group three (red color and arrow). It also tells you that the current work group is group one (depressed button). This indicates that the settings you see on the screen, if any, are for group one. Obviously, this does not affect single-group settings, which are marked with a #. The current work group is changed by pressing the desired group number. Note that whatever is displayed on the screen always refers to the current group. . This implies a request for all settings, A setting request is performed explicitly by pressing and implicitly two things are requested the first time a settings screen is displayed: the active group number and the factor settings . This is because the information for the active group is essential for operating purposes, and the settings have to be known in advance to be able to depict other settings.



The collected settings are displayed in the Current Value column as indicated by the setting type. In this case, you are viewing the settings for group three. You can see the values for the different groups by selecting them (except for single-group settings).

. This operation also affects all settings, You can then Accept Current Settings by pressing setting by setting and group by group, including single-group settings. The current settings are copied over the new values, and this is reflected on the screen: Once new values are implemented, you are ready to perform different operations with them. Specifically, you can Edit Settings and then send them to the protection equipment. The only exception is settings, which cannot be edited.



By right-clicking a setting, the mouse pointer changes appearance indicating what can be edited. Enter edit mode by left-clicking the mouse.

For Option-type settings, you can scroll through a list of options, but for numerical settings, you have to enter the number.

When a setting is highlighted, i.e. is being edited, you can: -

-

-

Edit the setting as appropriate (entering the number or scrolling to the option). Press ESC to exit edit mode without changing the setting. This is equivalent to canceling the operation. Press RETURN to validate an alteration; and if successful, the setting is changed and you exit edit mode. If the operation fails, the reason is indicated and you continue in edit mode in the same setting. Press TAB to validate an alteration; and if successful, the setting is changed and you scroll down to the next editable setting. If the operation fails, the reason is indicated and you continue in edit mode in the same setting. Pressing SHIFT-TAB has the same effect as pressing TAB alone, but editing scrolls up instead of down. Press with the left bottom out of the setting; if the validation is successful it's shown as RETURN, if it's not successful it's shown as ESC. If the press have been in other setting, it will be edit.

Validation of the setting will always be successful if the setting is a listed setting, but can fail if it is a numeric setting. The following type of information can be provided, allowing you to properly edit the setting or cancel the operation.

After editing the settings, the differences between the current values (Protection) and the new values (PC) for the current group or for settings without groups are displayed in red. The red color indicating the difference is also propagated toward the root of the tree, as shown in the following sample screen.



The setting with a difference (Reverse-Direction), as well as its descriptive text (Phase IOC Direction), are colored red, as are all the branches up to the root in both panels. As a result, you can locate the differences at a glance. As you will see below, there are two more ways of editing new values: creating default settings or importing them

.

Regardless of how you edit the settings, you can send the new values by pressing . If no problems have occurred, after sending, you have to check that there are no differences between the current and new values.



Each setting has a Default Value that can be button to copied to the New Value. Press the access the dialog shown at right, which provides great flexibility in terms of changing settings and groups. You can select the groups you wish from the list on the right. On the left-hand side you can choose from three options:

-

-

Right Panel Selection indicates that you accept the settings selected in the right panel. The right panel allows for multiple selection of settings and of complete branches, so if a branch is selected, all its daughter branches and their settings (visible and invisible) are also selected, and so on. When using this option, carefully select what you want from the right panel before pressing the button to create new default values. All Right Panel indicates that the operation will apply to all the right panel settings, whether visible or not. All indicates that the operation will apply to all settings.

By pressing you can Copy Groups. As with all other cases, the editing of settings affects the new values. By pressing OK, the group 1 settings will be copied over the group 2 and 3 settings. This will apply to All the protection settings comprising multiple groups. The Source Group list only allows one selection, while the Target Group(s) list allows multiple selections. Print Settings is an option whose interface is very similar to that of the Create default values option. As with the other cases, only the new values are printed. Press OK to call up the dialog which works similar like the Default Values dialog in terms of the selection made. The difference it's that can be activated the option Only Differences, that permits to print only the settings that have different values in Actual Value and New Value.



Pressing OK button exports the selection to XML format and calls up 'Microsoft Internet Explorer', which displays the data in the XSLT format provided with the installation. The following is an example of what is displayed.

From here you can, among other things, 'Preview', 'Print', etc.



You may be interested in saving settings for subsequent analysis (see Emulation paragraph) or to copy them to another protection by importing them, etc. Bear in mind that the saved settings are always the New Values. By pressing the button you access the Save XML Format, Save PR3 Format, Export XLS Format or Export TXT Format dialog, a function of the option selected by the user to the right of Type. As shown by the text above, formats XML and PR3 allow saving and later retrieving those data, whereas formats XLS and TXT only allow exporting. In all cases the user is always responsible for deciding the settings that must be saved or exported in which file and folder. By saving the settings in XML format they can easily be printed, viewed with the browser, etc.; but, it can also be seen simply as a way of saving and retrieving information. As indicated earlier, when Zivercomplus® is installed, a format file is provided for viewing the XML file information coherently. PR3 storage is typical of Zivercomplus® and only allows saving and retrieving settings.

The Settings to Export box provides a selection of settings and list of groups that is used in the exact same way as the default settings box. The Overwrite checkbox lets you overwrite settings in an existing file or add to the settings already in that file. The bottom window shows the text contents of the XML file selected in File Name, if any contents exist. If accessed from Intelitool, the ZivercomPlus® enables an additional specific export mode, which is format CID/XML, which is will be the one ZivercomPlus® will provide by default; and, with this format one can only save All tables.



At the right of Type there is a list that permits choose between XML, XLS and TXT. The XLS format is a read-only export format (which can be read e.g. with Excel). TXT format it's a text format too, and has been thought of for the user to exactly control the width of each field; there are no tabs and space characters are used. It can be showed with the Notepad, i.e. The right screen is showned if this format is choosen. It can be indicated a Text Width and a Table Width; the program indicate the Total Width que se obtendrá al exportar. If the information it's longer than the choosen witdh the last character will be *.



You can also Import settings that were previously exported. As with the previous cases, what you import goes to New Values. On the settings screen, pressing displays the Import dialog, which is very similar to the export dialog. The difference is that you have to select an existing file. In addition, you have to indicate which New Value settings you're interested in importing in the Settings to Import option. In other words, when importing, you choose the settings that match the selection made in Settings to import from among the settings saved in the selected file.

2.2.4.c

Special Settings Screens

Special screens are needed for settings of complex nature, as is the case for Logic Inputs or Outputs and LEDs, as shown in the following screens. In both cases, when there are settings in the New Value field, the setting can be edited. The difference between Input, Output or LED is highlighted using the red color. By just pressing the circle areas ( or ), the user can disable an element of the New Value blocks. With the help of the mouse, the user may drag and release outputs between Available logic outputs list and OR and AND blocks. Double clicking OR and AND block elements changes the current element value to Not Used and Not Used to the value selected from the Available Logic Outputs list.



2.2.5

Configuration, User Curve and Equipment Language

2.2.5.a

Introduction

If the file for the equipment profile indicates that the equipment may have a Configuration, may have a User Curve or the relay Language, the node will be displayed in the left panel Configuration. In addition, if upon connecting it was resolved that there was a dialog with configuration with the equipment, then the name of the configuration is displayed, as mentioned earlier, together . with the address and the model name in brackets: Configuration node in the left panel, the right panel displays the first By selecting the image in case of the No Configuration and No Language Dialog and the second image in case of the with configuration and language dialog.



2.2.5.b

Managing the Configuration

As you have seen, in the case of the Dialog with Configuration, the configuration information is repeated in the Actual Value and New Value columns. The same occurs for the language. The reason for repeating this information is to avoid losing it when you edit the New Value, as you will see below. The same rules that apply for the settings, apply here. This information consists of three fields separated by commas: -

Configuration name. Configuration version with d.dd format. Configuration checksum.

Management of the different types of configurations is guided by the following rules. ZivercomPlus® can be accessed from Intelitool to be used for a single equipment only, or else implement it on its own. From the point of view of configurations, both of the last two circumstances are identical, hence we will only refer to access from Intelitool, or on its own, which includes “from Intelitool to any equipment”. There are two different types of configuration files: normal configurations with CPF extension, and compact configurations with CPT extension. Normal CFP configurations are used as profile extensions (equipment, model), but cannot be interpreted by the relay. There are two types of CFPs: those generated from the ZivercomPlus® / ZIVerCID® and those generated from Intelitool. Both types can be edited with their respective tools, ZivercomPlus® / ZIVerCID®, or Intelitool. As regards ZivercomPlus® / ZIVerCID® these are internally accessed via Ziverlog®. When ZivercomPlus® is accessed from Intelitool, Ziverlog®‘s functionality is not accessible. Compact CPTs’ configurations contain the configuration data, both from the format that is legible via the configuration tools, and from the format required by the relay. In fact, the CPT indicates compact configuration and has a CFP inside, and the associated data is legible from the relay. These also contain data as regards the relay model -single- on which the configuration can be loaded. This file can be generated both via the ZivercomPlus® and also via the IntellliTool. Based on the above information, we are going to describe the behaviour of the different buttons when the current selection of the list is on

:

-

is always disabled, configurations are never requested explicitly, except when communication with the equipment begins.

-

can only be enabled when communication (not emulation) has been established, and when something has been selected in . In this case, CPTs can be forwarded if they have been generated for the equipment in use, and CFPs can only be forwarded when access has not been made through Intelitool, providing that this is a configuration that has been generated via Ziverlog®.

-

enables converting a CFT into a CPT. To this avail, there must be a CFP within and it is also required that the following two conditions are met: that the ZivercomPlus® is running on its own (i.e.: not from Intelitool) and that the CFP is a CFP that the Ziverlog®.is capable of interpreting.


2.2 Connecting and Communicating with Equipment -

gives access to Ziverlog® in order to edit or create a Ziverlog® CFP. It will be disabled if ZivercomPlus® has been accessed from Intelitool and, if what we have under is a CPT, or an Intelitool type CFP, it will also be disabled, i.e., it will only be enabled if we have a Ziverlog® type CFP and if this has not been accessed from Intelitool. Also, if access has not be made via Intelitool, and there is no data within , it is enabled to create a (CFP) configuration from zero.

In order to modify or run the contents of hand button of the mouse.

you must click below this with the left-

In this case, the ZivercomPlus® will display a form where the CFP and/or CPT files will be exclusively displayed, which will be usable under a specific context, which will show up on the display as follows:

That is, the ZivercomPlus® is in charge of filtering the useless CFPs and CPTs. The form (or dialogue), contains useful data for the user, distributed in four columns. Direct and reverse alphabetical ordering is enabled for the first three fields and, also, CFP and CPT files are distinguished with different colours. If button is enabled, the user can click on the same to forward the configuration to the equipment, either in format CFP or CPT. When the equipment receives the configuration it resets and is ready to operate again after approximately 15 seconds. Once the configuration has been forwarded, the ZivercomPlus®, will close the session and it will be up to the user to decide whether to open it again after the necessary time has lapsed.



2.2.5.c

Managing the User Curve

The user curve is handled similarly to the configuration: The equipment can send a curve ID (a chain of characters) and the curve itself, which the Zivercomplus® program can save to your hard disk so as to avoid having to ask for it in its entirety every time. Curve files can also be provided to the Zivercomplus® program by other means. A curve ID is univocally matched to a curve file. The basic difference is that the user curve can be requested and sent at any time, like a normal setting, and not when starting or ending the session like with the configuration. From the configuration screen you can select User curve and press . The program asks for the curve ID, and if it accepts it, searches for the curve from among the available user curve files (crv extension). If it finds the file, it shows the associated data directly in New Value; and if it doesn't, it prompts you in New Value to save the curve in the directory and file (with a crv extension) of your choice. Once this is done, when the same curve ID is received in the future, the user already knows where to look for the data. If you succeed in pulling up the curve, you will see something similar to the following illustration on the screen: That is, like with the configuration, you have the name (or ID) of the curve, along with its version and its checksum. You can edit the New Value of the curve in the same way as the configuration: when you place the cursor above New Value, it changes in appearance to , indicating that it can be edited. By right clicking you are prompted to select one of the saved crv files. You can then press

to send the curve to the equipment.



2.2.5.d

Language Manager

The Language Window shows the language information twice as Actual Value and New Value. The reason to repeat the information is to avoid losing it when the New Value is edited. The concept is similar to the settings. The information has two fields: -

Language name. Language version.

Independent of the existence of configuration, the options in the Language Window are: -

-

Placing the cursor over New Value the icon indicates that is possible to select a new value from the pull down menu activated with a left-click of the mouse. Once a New Value is selected, to send it to the IED click on the OK button. The language manager will analyze the language file and will create the language files if no problems are encountered. The message to the right will be shown. Once this procedure is completed the language is ready to be sent to the IED. Once the language under New Value is validated and compiled, to send the file to the IED select the Language element in the right panel and click the

button.

Similar to the configuration loading, the IED resets once it receives the new language. Once the language is sent, Zivercomplus® will close the active session and a new session has to be manually opened by the user after the IED finish the reset cycle. Since the language update requires closing the active session, a confirmation message will pop up with the option to cancel in case that the changes during the session need to be saved (sew section Closing Session). The window to the right gives the option to cancel sending the language and closing the session. It also indicates how many records haven't been saved. If the language is successfully sent Zivercomplus® will close the active session. A new session and has to be opened by the user after the IED finish the reset cycle. When the Language element is selected in the right panel, it is not possible to collect the language information from the IED. The collect button

will

. The Language information is be disabled: collected automatically, when the configuration node is selected in the left panel tree.



2.2.6

Actions, Active Group and Synchronization

The left panel will always show a equipment, which may or may not have a

Control Operations node from the protection (or ) sign, depending on the circumstances.

Selecting this node in the left panel, the right panel displays the following: -

A Group Activation item for requesting and editing the active group. A Time Synchronization item for requesting from and sending time to equipment. Occasionally, a subtree in the right panel indicates different user-defined commands.

the

protection

As you already know, if you define your own commands when generating a configuration, these will appear below the time synchronization. Generally, the screen will look like this:

As usual, the symbol overlaps other symbols to indicate user-defined; that is, extracted from the configuration. If you had entered settings before pressing Actions in the left panel, an implicit request for the active group would have occurred. That is, the retrieved data are placed in Actual Value and in Action. In any case, you can set the Actual Value for all items by pressing . In the case of the active group, it will be the number of the current active group; for the time synchronization, it will be the protection equipment time; and for commands, it will be the command status. The right panel something like this:

will

then

look



As you can see, the Actual Value is also entered into Action. The same value is proposed in the Action field for the group and time as is found in the Actual Value field. However, in regard to commands, the present command status is found in Actual Value, while in Action we find one of the potential actions, taking the command status into account. As with the settings, you can edit the different Action values one by one in order to send them to the IED: -

For the active group you can select any of the possible options, bearing in mind the total number of groups.

-

The Action field cannot be edited for time synchronization. The PC's time is taken when sending to the IED.

-

For commands, you can choose between actions that are compatible with the Actual value. As you can see in the screen, the current value is ON and the possible action proposed is TURN OFF LED 1. Clicking on Action displays all the possible actions for the current value. Another possible situation for this same example is shown in the screen at right.

Unlike the settings, in this case the data are sent to the protection equipment one by one, by pressing the relevant Execute button. In all cases except synchronization, the Zivercomplus® program shows the action to be performed, like in the example at right. If the user presses OK, the action is carried out and the IED indicates whether the action is accepted or rejected.



2.2.7

Records

In the left panel, open up the Records node to see the four types of records contained in it: Events, Faults, Metering Logs and Oscillographs. All records have in common that they are labeled by date and are displayed in lists where the natural order is by date, although you can order them according to your own criteria. The operations that can be performed with them are fairly common: issuing a request, ordering according to different criteria, saving to disk, printing and deleting. Moreover, all the lists allow multiple item selection, so you can apply the operations listed above to the items of your choice. The way the different types of records are handled is described below.

2.2.7.a

Events

If no event has been retrieved earlier, pressing on the result in a screen similar to the one below.

Events node in the left panel will

The events list will be empty and the Zivercomplus® program will indicate this by the prompt No events to display. You can Request Events from the protection equipment by pressing . In this case, the Zivercomplus® program lets you specify which events you want.

The available options will shown to be selected (see the righ screen). Starting Date and Ending Date will be editables only when the Record option selection is Between Dates. The current date is provided as the default for the start and end dates.



The events retrieval process begins when you press OK. The progress bar at the bottom provides a running account of how many events have been retrieved. Once the events have been received, and assuming you have pressed to hide the left panel, the screen will look like this. The top bar indicates that you have retrieved 198 events (items). The meaning of each of the list's fields is important:

-

indicates if the event is saved to a drive. There are no saved events in the screen represented as an example.

-

indicates the event date and time (down to ms). The triangle indicates that the list is ordered in ascending order according to that field: the oldest events first;

-

shows the text associated with the event. The , , etc. fields indicate the list of measures retrieved in the event, depending on the protection equipment's settings. Units are indicated in parentheses. All the measures included in a listed event are always shown in the top bar. If a certain measure is not retrieved from a specific event, ***** will be displayed in its value field.



The events can be displayed according to different criteria by simply pressing the desired item. If you press on an item by which the order has already been set, the order is reversed. In this example, if you press Event the list will be ordered alphabetically by  Event, and if you press  Event again, it will be ordered again by Event, but in reverse alphabetical order. Valid ordering fields are S, Time and Event (not magnitudes). You can Delete events by pressing . This calls up the dialog at right, which lets you delete all events or only the selected ones.

You can save the selected events (Selection or All) in XML format by pressing . As always, you are responsible for choosing the file and directory. You can also add or overwrite events to an existing file. You will want to export events to a file so that you can examine them offline in emulation mode (see Emulation). The button, which in the Zivercomplus® program means import, is disabled in the events screen because it doesn't make sense to load other events from the program while you are viewing the events from a protection. It is included because of its usefulness in emulation mode (see Emulation) to give the same appearance to all screens. The other operation you can perform is to print the events. The operation is similar to that of settings: by pressing you can select the events to be printed. When OK is pressed, the program calls up the browser and you can see the events in the format provided during the installation of Zivercomplus®.



2.2.7.b

Fault Conditions

Fault conditions are handled in a very similar way to events, with very few exceptions. The screen is accessed by pressing Events in the left panel. You can request fault conditions just like events: All - First - Last - Between dates, Only pending options. Once retrieved, the screen can look like this: The different list fields are self-explanatory. Faults can be ordered according to the five fixed fields: S, Fault Start, Trip Command, Fault End, and Fault Type. Fault conditions can be exported, imported, printed and deleted exactly the same as events. The only important difference is that only the most significant fault data appear on the list. To see the complete fault report, you can doubleclick on the fault item you wish to view or press . In either case, a window is opened in the lower portion of the lefthand panel where you can examine all the data from the selected fault.



Generally, the fault information cannot be viewed all at once; you will have to use the scroll bar on the right to scroll up or down the report. The order in which information is displayed is: -

Heading: date and time, duration, fault type, trip type, etc. List of picked-up / tripped units. List of general units. Pre-fault / fault magnitudes. General magnitudes.

The full report display can be cleared in the same way it was pulled up: by pressing double-clicking with the mouse.

2.2.7.c

or

History Logs

In general, everything explained thus far for events and faults is applicable to history logs as well. Once the metering logs are retrieved, a screen like this can be displayed. The maximum and minimum values are displayed in blue and red, respectively, for each list item. Since measurements in groups of up to four magnitudes are taken, when you scroll through the relevant fields you will see a help message in the heading with the relevant magnitudes and at the end of the units. If the magnitudes do not have the same units (!), **** is displayed, as in the example. The list can be arranged by the S and Time fields. As with events, if the measurement for a list item has not been retrieved, ***** is displayed. In all other aspects, the operating mode for metering logs is identical to the rest of the records.



2.2.7.d

Oscillographs

The main differences with regard to the rest of the records are: -

-

An oscillograph is retrieved in two phases. First the oscillograph descriptor, which is a summary of the most important oscillograph records (date / time, network frequency, etc.) is retrieved, then the full oscillograph is retrieved if the user wishes. Full display of the oscillograph requires an external program to be opened.

After pressing

Oscillography in the left panel, the oscillograph descriptors can be

. The Zivercomplus® program does not ask any questions or for retrieved by pressing confirmation - all the oscillograph descriptors present are retrieved. The full oscillograph is retrieved by doubleclicking on the descriptor. The oscillograph display is pulled up by doubleclicking on the oscillograph. For example, in the screen shown here, the user has pressed to display five oscillograph descriptors, then doubleclicked on the second, third and fourth descriptors (not necessarily in that order) and retrieved the full oscillographs.



The process of bringing an oscilloscope can be long and the user may want to cancel it; to this end, the screen to the right is shown, where the oscilloscope request can be cancelled by pressing the Cancel button, and pressing the Minimize button, the user can minimize the Zivercomplus® while said oscilloscope is being brought.

The C/S field can be blank if you only have the descriptor (first and fifth), C if the full oscillograph has been retrieved and it is in COMTRADE format with a default path generated by Zivercomplus® (second, third and fourth), or S if it is completely in COMTRADE format and saved to a specific user-defined path after pressing

in an item in C status.

Printing is not meaningful for these records. This is done by the oscillograph viewer pulled up by the user. An oscillograph can be fully viewed by double-clicking on the oscillograph with the C (Comtrade) or S (Comtrade-Saved) feature. The button applies as always, but it now deletes oscillograph descriptors or full oscillographs, depending on the items to which it is applied.

2.3.1

Introduction

The Emulation function is designed to allow users to perform any required offline operations. Basically, the user can manage all the information received during communications and generate new information that can be useful for communications, all offline. The emulation mode should allow users to: -

Generate, copy, delete, print, etc. settings lists either received during communications or which the user may wish to use in subsequent communications. Do the above by selecting a specific model and configuration. Generate or, in general, manage all types of configurations. Perform the full management of all types of records and oscillographs received during communications.

Although the records are not dependent on the equipment model or configuration used to retrieve them, this is not the case with the settings lists. Therefore, in order to work in emulation mode, users must first select a specific model and, if they so wish, a specific configuration. The way in which this works is that the user sets up a substation with a piece of equipment and, as the case may be, a customized configuration.

2.3.2

Entering to Emulation Mode

The Emulate option is included at the bottom of the IEDs submenu of the main screen. By selecting this option, you enter a dialog that allows you to select the model you are interested in emulating from among the available models. This is important when managing settings lists, but not so important for records or configurations. The Emulate dialog depicted at right shows only one model. By pressing you move it to the right side (the direction is irrelevant), and it is then ready to be used for emulation. You can press corrections.

button to make any

It is worth mentioning that in order to emulate with a given model, the “ZivercomPlus minimum” version must be less or equal to “ZivercomPlus button version”. Otherwise, the will be disabled. For many models their “ZivercomPlus minimum” is "any", highlighting in this case with “* . **” , emulation being possible regardless the Zivercomplus® version.


2.3 Emulation

If in the previous display one clicks on OK a second dialogue is entered which enables, optionally, to select one of the configurations that are available by applying the criteria indicated under chapter 2.2:

By pressing OK you enter emulation mode with the selected model and configuration. With Cancel you select only the model (the model is necessary, while the configuration is optional). In the event that access is made via Intelitool, ZivercomPlus® this will not show the Emulation display because emulation can only be carried out with the model for which it has been accessed, and it will directly display Select configuration.

2.3.3

Description of the “Emulation” Substation

When entering from the previous screen the following screen is displayed, where the user has extended some nodes, etc. after entering. Zivercomplus® creates a installation called Emulation which has a piece of IED with the selected model in the selected address. The configuration name is also shown.

The and symbols, instead of the regular installation with actual communications.


and

symbols, tell you that it is not a


The emulation installation is a normal installation for almost all intents and purposes, except for - naturally - those functions relating to communications. It has an added record importing function, which is disabled if the installations are online. The differences between the Emulation installation and a normal (online) installation are listed below: -

The Status and Action nodes do not exist. The Active Group is not highlighted in Settings.

-

The request Send

-

option is available, which, in emulation mode, allows the user to copy New Value to Actual Value be able to compare settings lists.

-

In the different Records screens, in addition to exporting, you can Import different types of records.

and Accept

options are disabled in the Settings screen.

the

button has a slightly different meaning. As Except in the case of oscillographs, the mentioned in the previous chapter, the oscillograph descriptor lists are not saved in XML (or any other) format; rather, oscillographs are individually saved in COMTRADE format. , the When importing, by pressing standard WINDOWS® Open dialog box is displayed to show a list of the available files with the cfg extension. You can select the different cfg files one by one, and Zivercomplus® 'rebuilds' the respective oscillograph descriptors, with the C/S to S field, since, naturally, the oscillographs are saved in COMTRADE format.

Introduction

The ZIVerlog® configuration module is designed to enhance the functionality of the equipment, enabling the creation of new user logics, command items, configuration of equipment inputs, outputs and LEDs, configuration of different communication protocols, etc. This module lets the user design a configuration, and load and edit an existing configuration. The ZIVerlog® configuration module is installed together with Zivercomplus® and is accessed through it. The Zivercomplus® program supplies all the necessary information (profile, configuration, file to be generated, etc.) to ZIVerlog® when it is called, and ZIVerlog® in turn provides Zivercomplus® with the files that it should send to the equipment.

3.1.2

Functions

3.1.2.a

Creating a Configuration

A completely new configuration can be created with the configuration module, either with new user-created items or using existing items from other configurations. The parts that can make up the configuration include: -

-

-

3.1.2.b

Configuration of input, output and LED logics (front) in traditional format. Configuration of any type of logic in the equipment: inputs, outputs and front (extension of traditional logic), protection and control. The execution priorities of the different types of logic in the equipment are: o Inputs, protection and outputs: High priority. o Control: Average priority. o Front: Low priority. Definition of new resources for the equipment: o Digital signals. o Magnitudes. o Settings. o Constants. o Command items. Configuration of different protocols used by the equipment for communications. Configuration of data to appear in the HMI.

Editing a Selected Configuration

You can edit all the items that determine the design of a configuration, namely: -

Editing, adding or deleting logic elements. Editing the logic gates (also called opcodes) used in logics. Editing the gates' input and/or output signals. Alter the order in which logic elements are processed and the logic gates that comprise the logics. Editing settings. Editing resources. Editing data from the different communications protocols. Editing the data that will appear in the HMI.


3.1 Introduction

3.1.2.c

Generating Files

The configurations module generates several files: -

3.1.2.d

A binary file with the configuration information so that the Zivercomplus® program can send it to the equipment. The file name is determined by the program. A configuration file (CFP extension) supplementing the profile data to be used by the Zivercomplus® program to communicate with a piece of equipment. This file is also sent to the relay, so that when the Zivercomplus® program communicates with the equipment, the configuration loaded in the equipment can be retrieved.

Controlling and Checking Configuration Data

The configuration module establishes control over the configuration data, so that the application can check that all the data are correct according to the equipment's profile before sending the configuration to the equipment.

3.1.2.e

Validating a Configuration

All configurations are validated according to the equipment's current profile when loaded in the ZIVerlog® module.

3.1.2.f

Importing Data from Other Logic Configurations

The ZIVerlog® module makes it possible to import logics, parts of logics, resources, and commands separately from other configurations.

3.1.2.g

Controlling and Managing Configurations

For each configuration a checksum is created to enable its management and control.

3.2.1

Loading and Validating the Profile

The Zivercomplus® program can pull up the ZIVerlog® configuration module in edit or validation mode. In both cases, the ZIVerlog® module loads the profile as per the instructions received. This profile determines multiple aspects of the ZIVerlog® module, such as: -

The parts of the configuration that may be established. This involves disabling parts of the menu. The logic types that may be configured. The valid opcodes. The equipment's digital signals that the user may use. The equipment's analog signals that the user may use. The number of digital signals the user may create. The number of analog signals the user may create.

This implies that a configuration may be valid for several different pieces of equipment, but if it has been created with a profile, has been validated, and is correct, it may not be valid any longer with another profile from another piece of equipment. The reason for this is that there are signals that may not exist in the new profile, or certain opcodes or logic types are not allowed, etc. As a result, after loading the equipment profile, when a configuration is loaded, it is necessary to recheck and control multiple configuration aspects before validating it for the profile. This can involve editing the configuration. The checks made are described below: -

Check of the Maximum Number of Digital Signals created by the user. Check of the Maximum Number of Analog Signals created by the user. Check for existence of Logic Types that are not valid for the current profile. Check for the use of Opcodes that are not valid for the current profile. Check for the existence or validity of all signals (digital and analog) used in the Logic. Check for the existence and validity of all signals used in the Command Items. Check for the existence of all Digital and Analog Signals used in the different protocol sections (events, control changes, measurements, commands, counters, etc.).


3.2 Getting Started

Incompatibilities may be found during loading. In such cases, the configuration module decides to perform a series of actions. Possible incompatibilities, as well as the action to be performed in each case by the ZIVerlog® are described below: -

-

-

Signal does not exist or is not valid with the new profile (see section Signal restrictions, for more information about non-valid signals). Different actions are performed depending on what parts of the configuration are affected by this incompatibility: o Logic: The signal is deleted leaving the opcode incomplete (the opcode will appear in red) and highlighting the error. o Command item: The command item is deleted and the error is highlighted. o Communications protocols: Any label associated with the signal in the different protocol functions (e.g. events, measurements, meters, commands, etc.) is deleted and the error is highlighted. Number of user-defined digital and analog signals above the permitted amount with the new profile: o Signals in excess of the maximum are deleted and the entire configuration is checked. If one or more such signals is used in a section of the configuration, the program will proceed as described in the previous point. Invalid logic type: o The records for the invalid logic type are deleted and the error is highlighted. Invalid opcode: o The error is highlighted.

After performing all the checks, if configuration corrections were required, a screen similar to the one at right is displayed with the corrected errors.



3.2.2

Start Menu

As mentioned earlier, the equipment profile defines what parts of the configuration can be created and/or edited. This has a direct influence on the menu options the user will see in the ZIVerlog® configuration module. Depending on the equipment profile, the following configuration sections may or may not be displayed in the menu: -

Input, output and LED logic Logic Communications: HMI Protocols: PROCOME DNP3 MODBUS

The profile also defines which information for each protocol is user-viewable: events, control changes commands, measurements, etc. If a file with the CFP extension does not include a configuration or the configuration is not valid, the module will start up with the entire menu disabled, except for the following options: -

-

File: New Configuration. Configuration Information. Load Configuration. Quit. Help: About.

To access the rest of the menu, it will be necessary to start up a new configuration or load an existing one.

3.2.3

Operating Method (Mouse & Keyboard)

The desired options can be selected in two different ways in all ZIVerlog® configuration module screens: -

Using the mouse. The option is selected by clicking on the desired highlighted frame. Using the keyboard. To select an option from the menu bar, press and release the ALT key. This will access the menu, highlighting the first available option. Then press the key matching the underscored letter in the desired option.

The user can browse the various screens without using the mouse by pressing the Tab key to scroll from field to field. The keyboard equivalent of a mouse click on a button would be to scroll through the options using the Tab key until the button is highlighted, and then pressing the Return key.

Information Displays

The user can be informed or consulted about actions that can or should be performed throughout the entire module. Different types of screens are displayed to the user in such instances: -

Information: no error has occurred, but the user is informed about running a specific action. This is identified by the letter i.

-

Warning: these screens are usually displayed when an invalid action has been performed. This is identified by an exclamation point (!).

-

Query: this type of screen allows the user to choose whether or not to perform an action. This is identified by a question mark (?).

3.2.5

Using the Controls

There are controls that are common to many module screens. Their operation is explained below: -

Accept and Cancel buttons. In almost all screens, these two buttons offer the user a choice between exiting while saving data (Accept button) or without saving data (Cancel button). If the user clicks on Cancel after having edited data on the screen, a new screen is displayed asking the user whether to save the data (see screen at right). In screens that are opened using controls from other screens, the Accept button does not imply that the information is being saved; it simply means that the entered data are available for use in the source screen. The changes can only be saved from the main screen. It's important to point out that data saved in a screen are saved temporarily. They will not be saved permanently until the user selects the Save Full Configuration option.



-

Navigation buttons. These buttons shown at right let you navigate through the items being configured in each screen according to their established order. You can use them to go to the first item, previous item, next item and last item. The button bar can be found in screens that do not offer a list of configured items, such as records, opcodes, settings, etc.

-

Sort button. This button can be located alongside the navigation buttons or as a standalone button. Clicking on this button displays a screen (shown at right) allowing the following items to be sorted in order:

o o

All the items to be sorted are displayed in the window to the left of the screen. The items are displayed in the new order established by the user in the list included in the right window. To sort the items, press the Resort button.

-

New Button. This button lets you add a new item to the screen being configured.

-

Delete button. This button lets you delete the selected screen item.

-

Right button in lists. In screens consisting of two pages, a Detail and a List page, where it is possible to add new signals to the list, by pressing the right button a pop-up menu is displayed for adding and deleting signals. When the object you wish to add as a new item is a signal, the signal selection screen is usually displayed (see Signal Selection Screen). In certain screens, this menu can include more options.


3.2 Getting Started

3.2.6

Selecting Signals

In most screens you are required to select existing signals, which are either defined in the profile or created by the user. To facilitate the selection of signals, two lists are usually displayed as shown in the screen below. The first drop-down list indicates the Signal Type. The signals are classified into different groups for digital and for analog signals. The Available Signals list depends on the signal type selected from the previous drop-down list. There may not be an available signal in a specific group; in this case, the drop-down list of available signals will be empty.

3.2.6.a

Signal Selection Screen

The controls mentioned above can be displayed directly in any module screen, but in many cases they are displayed in specific signal selection screens, as shown below: The OK button lets you assign the selected signal or edit an existing signal, depending on the needs of the control from which the call was made. The Cancel button has no impact on the control used to call it.



3.2.6.b

Signal Types

The digital signal groups are as follows: -

User Configuration Signal. Hardware Digital Input. Hardware Digital Output. Hardware LED. Button. Pickup Protection Output. Trip Protection Output. Generic Protection Input. Logic Input to Protection. Command Order. Module Enable Control. Others. Signal to 1. Signal to 0.

The signals specified in the profile are assigned to any of these groups, except "User Configuration Signal". This group is reserved for digital signals created by the user (see Digital Signals). The analog signal groups are as follows: -

Static Magnitudes. User Magnitudes.

The first group is for analog signals specified in the profile, and the second group is for digital signals created by the user (see Digital Signals).

3.2.6.c

Signal Restrictions

When the user wishes to select a signal, only the signals of the selected type that can be used for the required function are displayed. If a signal is being selected to assign a value to it, or if a value can be assigned to it, then signals with a default assigned value are not displayed in the drop-down list of available signals. The signals with assigned values are: -

All signals defined in the profile as having an assigned value. All signals to which a value is assigned by the logic (they have been used as an opcode output). All signals used to define a command's actions. All communication-labeled signals whose value can be set from another piece of equipment (usually a Central Unit).

Command actions are a special case, since although a signal that can be considered to have an assigned value cannot be selected, signals used in other command actions can still be assigned.

This menu option creates the binary file Zivercomplus® will send to the equipment for configuration. The checksum is calculated for each compilation, but it is only saved when the configuration is saved. This checksum gives the user the option of controlling existing configurations and of improving the management of them. Compiling a configuration controls possible errors that may have occurred due to the deletion of signals, incomplete imports, excess configured signals, etc. If compiling errors exist, a screen similar to the one shown below is displayed with information about each of the errors found. Double-clicking each individual error takes the user to the screen where the error was found, making it easier to correct.

3.3.6

Quit

This menu option closes the ZIVerlog® configuration module and returns to Zivercomplus®. If a change in the current configuration has occurred, the module prompts the user to save the changes.

3.4.1

Introduction

This menu option provides access to screens for configuring the logic of Digital Inputs, Digital Outputs and LEDs (if the equipment profile enables each of these options).

These screens provide a more immediate way of configuring these logics than the way described in section Configuration-Associated Logic. A specific logic is added for each of the inputs, outputs, or LEDs, so that the user has only to indicate the signals to be used and very little more. When the configuration is compiled, the logic of these screens will be added to those configured in the Logic screen, depending on the type of logic (though they are not displayed in this screen).

3.4.2

Input Logic

This screen adds the logic configuration for Digital Inputs. Each of the digital inputs can be connected to up to 8 logic signals. Internally the "MULTIPLE CABLE" opcode is used for each input (for more information about opcodes, see section Definition of Opcodes). The controls shown on this screen are as follows: -

Digital Inputs: this drop-down list shows all the digital inputs appearing in the equipment profile. Denied: this checkbox lets you deny the value of the digital input and assign it to the appropriate logic signal.


3.4 Input / Output Logic

-

Signal: clicking on each of the edit boxes displays the signal selection screen: Signal Types: this drop-down list shows all the types of signals allowed for this type of logic. For more information about signal types, see section Signal Types. Available Signals: this dropdown list shows all the selected types of signals available for connection according to the existing configuration. For more information about selecting signals, see section Signal Restrictions. Not Used: this checkbox indicates that the signal in the edit box on which you have clicked will be deleted from the input logic screen.

-

Import: This button lets you import an input logic from another configuration. The configured input logic is deleted and replaced by the imported configuration. The following screen is shown to allow the user to select the configuration for importing:

Once the import is completed, a message is displayed indicating whether the configuration to be imported has input logic configured (first screen) (in this case, the configured logic is not deleted) or whether the import was completed correctly (second screen).

-

Delete: this button lets you delete all signals (and their respective denial boxes) for the digital input selected in the drop-down list.



3.4.3

Output Logic

This screen adds the logic configuration for Digital Outputs. Following the diagram, two blocks of eight logic signals are available. One of the blocks performs an OR operation with the selected signals (any signal activates the output). The other block performs an AND operation with the selected signals (all signals need to be active to activate the output). An AND or an OR operation can also be performed between these two blocks. The pulse option can also be added to the result of this operation. The basic operation of the two options, with or without pulses, is as follows:  

Without pulses: By setting the pulse timer to 0, the hardware output remains active for as long as the signal that activated it. With pulses: Once the hardware output is activated, it stays activated during the fixed time whether or not the signal that generated it is deactivated before it or remains active for longer.

The following illustration shows the logic generated for each digital output.

For more information about opcodes, see section Definition of Opcodes. The controls shown in this screen are similar to those displayed in the digital inputs configuration screen, as is their operation (see section Input Logic).


3.4 Input / Output Logic

3.4.4

LEDs Logic

This screen adds the logic configuration for LEDs (indicators on the equipment's front panel). The way the application functions when assigning signals is the same as for outputs, with the peculiarity that in this case, one of the two blocks has eight signals that perform an OR operation (any signal activates the output), while the other block has one signal. The two blocks together can perform an OR or an AND operation without the subsequent possibility of using pulses. Each LED can be defined as latched or unlatched by activating the Latched checkbox. By activating the checkbox you can make the LED remain active regardless of whether or not the combination of signals that activated it disappears. For the Latched option to be enabled in this screen, the equipment profile must have an "LED Reset Input" signal; otherwise the option remains disabled. The following illustration shows the logic generated for each LED.

For more information about opcodes, see section Definition of Opcodes. The other controls shown in this screen are similar to those displayed in the digital inputs configuration screen, as is their operation (for more information, see section Input Logic).

3.5.1

Introduction

Logic is the set of functions that a piece of equipment should be able to perform. These functions work with a number of resources: digital signals, analog signals, settings and constants. To better understand, structure, and assure maintenance of the logic, it is divided into records. These records consist of various Opcodes or Logic gates that are interconnected by means of the aforementioned resources or by internal records. The signals that can be used are defined by the Equipment Profile, in addition to those that can be configured by the user in the module (see section Defining Resources). The allowed opcodes are also defined by the equipment profile, although the total opcodes are detailed in the next section.

3.5.2

Definition of Opcodes

The opcodes that can be used in the logic are detailed below. AND OR XOR NOT Cable Multiple Cable Multiplexor Pulse Timer A Timer B FFD FRS Counter Analog Cable Level Comparator

Adder Subtractor Multiplier Divisor Comparator Digital to Analog Analog Selector Pulse Train Rising Edge Binary to Analog BCD to Analog Analog to Binary Analog to BCD Finite Value

The assigning of digital signals, analog signals, settings or constants depends on the selected opcode. The type of signal that can be connected for each input or output type is detailed below:  

 

Digital Input: Digital Signals Digital Settings Analog Input: Analog Signals or Magnitudes Analog Settings Constants Digital Output: Digital Signals Analog Output: Analog Signals or Magnitudes

Some of the opcodes listed above can be memorized so that it is possible to maintain the opcode value, or status, in case the logic is reset; thus avoiding resetting to a null value. The following sections indicate which opcodes have this feature.

3.5.3

Records Associated with Logic

The equipment logic consists of a series of logic gates or opcodes that are linked together by means of different resources (signals, magnitudes, settings, etc.). Each logic can in turn be divided into Records. A record is a group of opcodes that is given some form of identification. The records generally represent a specific logic function or feature. There are five types of logics:     

Digital Inputs. Protection. Digital Outputs. Control. Front.

Some of these logic types may not appear, depending on the existing profile. To access and configure the logic, click on the Logic menu:

3.5.4

Managing Records

All existing records according to the logic type, as well as the opcodes they contain, are controlled using the following screen, Logic Cards: This screen displays the opcodes depending on the logic type and record the user has selected. The controls shown on this screen are as follows: -

-

-

Logic Type: this drop-down list lets you select the logic type you wish to configure. In each case only the records belonging to the selected logic type are displayed. Card Description: a text box for informational purposes only; cannot be edited or added to. Shows the description the user entered when creating or renaming the record. Order: a text box for informational purposes only; indicates the order of the record within the selected logic type. Sort, Go to First Record, Previous Record, Next Record, Go to Last Record: these buttons let you sort and scroll through the records for the selected logic type by their order number (see section Using the Controls). Record: this drop-down list lets you select each of the records of the selected logic type by name.



-

Opcodes: This list displays the opcodes belonging to the selected record. 5 columns are displayed: 1st column: This column displays the opcode input descriptions, if any. 2nd column (Inputs): This column displays the descriptions of resources connected to the input. If the resource is a denied signal, the description of the connected signal is preceded by "NOT-". 3rd column (Function): This column displays the opcode; if it is memorized, it is displayed under the name. This column also displays the selected opcode setting (for those that need them) under the opcode name. 4th column (Outputs): This column displays the descriptions of resources connected to the output. If the resource is a denied signal, the description of the connected signal is preceded by "NOT-". 5th column: This column displays the opcode output descriptions, if any.

-

New card: This button lets you access the Add record screen, depicted below. This screen displays two text boxes: The name of the new record is entered in the Identifier field (required). Once accepted, the value is checked to make sure it is unique and the description of the new record is entered in the Description field (optional).

-

Import: this button lets you import different records from another configuration. The user is first asked to select the configuration from which the records are to be imported through the following dialog. The following screen containing the records of the desired configuration is shown once the configuration is selected.



This screen shows all the records existing in the configuration from which the records are to be imported. The Identifier or ID are indicated, along with the Description and the Logic Type to which the record belongs. More than one record can be selected at the same time by pressing Ctrl and keeping it pressed as you click on the records with the mouse. If you select Import to Actual Logic Type, all the records will be imported to the logic type selected in the logic records screen, regardless of the type of logic they belong to in the original configuration. If the name of an imported record matches an existing record name, the imported record is added by including a hash mark (#) followed by a number in its name, thus avoiding duplicate record IDs. The configuration resources used in the records, and that do not exist in the current configuration, are imported at the same time as the record opcodes. However, the resources from the profile cannot be imported. If any incompatibility exists between imported and existing records, existing records are given priority. In this way, records with incomplete opcodes or opcodes where inputs or outputs have been deleted because they were not valid signals for the current configuration and/or profile can be imported. Upon completing the importation, if an error has occurred or incomplete records have been imported, the following error screen is displayed:



Opcodes not valid for the current configuration, as well as improperly connected or incomplete opcodes, are displayed in red as shown in the following screen:

-

Delete card: This button lets you delete the current record. The user is first asked to confirm:

-

Rename: This button lets you change the current record's name and/or description.

-

Consumption: This button offers to the user information approximated on the consumption of the logic that has the equipment, in time and memory. The different types from logics are grouped as a matter of priority of execution according to the information of the profile, and for each grouping the consumption of time in percentage is offered. The memory consumption visualizes in as much by one hundred for all the set of the logic.



-

3.5.4.a

Edit: this button provides access to screens where the user can enter and connect opcodes. If there are no opcodes in the record, the opcode fields are disabled.

Opcodes

Opcodes can be added, connected, deleted and edited using the above screen. The screen provides the following controls: -

Drop-down list in the center of the screen for selecting the opcode. Block of 16 controls for selecting opcode inputs. Control for selecting opcode output. Control for selecting opcode setting. Text box showing the order of the opcode within the record. Buttons for selecting opcodes according to the order (see section Using controls). Button for sorting opcodes (see section Using controls). Button for adding a new opcode. Button for deleting an opcode.

Depending on whether or not the opcode allows it, fields will be enabled and disabled so that the inputs and outputs can be referenced from the various controls according to the opcode.


3.5 Configuration-Associated Logic  Adding Opcodes The opcode controls are activated after pressing the new button on the Edit opcodes screen. The opcode controls are activated after pressing the new button on the Edit opcodes screen. For each opcode the fields it might need, as well as indications for each input or output, are activated. If a connected opcode is replaced by another opcode, the connections will be maintained if possible. Connections that are not valid, either because the resource type is different or it doesn't have the same number of inputs and outputs, are deleted.

When selecting the opcode, the user is shown only those fields available in the equipment profile. It is possible to load a configuration created with a profile that allows for more opcodes than the current one. In this case the opcodes that are not permitted can be seen, but they can only be deleted, not edited.


Chapter 3. Managing Control Configurations  Connecting and/or Editing Opcodes To set the opcode's inputs and outputs, simply enter the signal or resource to be connected in the relevant text box. To disconnect, simply delete the existing signal. You can also click on the arrow to the right of the field to display a drop-down screen with the existing resources that can be connected to the selected opcode. This screen includes the following opcodes: -

Resource Types: the group of options located on the upper left-hand corner of the screen lets the user select the type of resource to be connected to the opcode. Only those resources that are allowed for the selected opcode input or output are displayed as enabled.

-

Signal Types: this drop-down list lets you select the signal type. For more information about signal types, see section Signal Types.

-

Available Signals: After selecting the signal type, this drop-down list shows all the selected types of signals available for the opcode input or output. For more information about selecting signals, see section Signal Restrictions.

-

Not Used: This checkbox lets you disconnect the resource connected to the opcode.

-

Create New Resource: This button lets you access screens for creating new resources. These screens can also be accessed from the main menu. You will access one screen or another depending on the option you select in the resource types screen. The recently created resources are available once you return to this screen.

Internal Records, both digital and analog, are a special case when it comes to resources. Internal records are identifiers that let you connect inputs and/or outputs between opcodes without assigning the value to a specific signal.



The records are identified by the first three characters:  

Digital Records: These should start by the following characters: RD_ Analog Records: These should start by the following characters: RA_ or RE_, depending on the magnitude type (floating comma or integer, respectively).

To connect an opcode's output to another opcode's input using an internal record, for instance an OR gate output with an AND gate input, simply enter the internal record (RD_text_record) for the OR gate output and the AND gate input. In the Available signals screen you can select records that were already defined in the current logic type. However, a new record can only be created using the edit field. A specific internal record can only be used within the logic type for which it was defined. It cannot be accessed from different logic types due to their differing execution priorities.

 Delete Opcodes The Delete button lets you delete the opcode you are editing. The order of the remaining opcodes will be adjusted accordingly. After deleting an opcode, all the output signals can be reused (see section Signal Restrictions, for more information).

3.6.1

Introduction

This section defines the configuration resources, that is, the set of digital signals, magnitudes, constants, settings and commands to be added to the equipment's resources in order to be used in logic or communications. These resources can be referenced from Zivercomplus®. Users can access the configuration of the various resources through the Defining Resources option in the main menu, as shown in the screen below. The resources that can be configured are: Digital Signals, Parameters, Settings, Constants, and Commands. These resources are added to those available from the equipment and can be referenced both from the logic and from Zivercomplus®.

3.6.1.a

Digital Signals

Clicking on the Digital Signals menu option displays the screen for configuring user-defined digital signals. To define a new signal, simply press the New button. By default, a new digital signal will be created with the Control Signal description followed by a correlative number. The user can position the cursor on the list and edit the description of any signal and its short text. These signals are added to the equipment's set of signals (defined in the profile) for use in logic, communications, etc. They can also be referenced from Zivercomplus®.


3.6 Defining Resources

3.6.2

Parameters

The Parameters option lets you configure userdefined analog signals. This screen is divided into two distinct sections, one providing details and the other a list. Both contain the same information, and the values edited in one section are also reflected in the other. For each user-defined analog signal or parameter it is possible to configure certain features: -

-

Message: short text used to identify the signal in the HMI. Description: description of the analog signal. Units: the units that can be selected will be read from the profile of the working equipment. Factor: multiplication factor for defining parameters in non-standardized units. For instance, if you wish to use a parameter in hundredths of watts, the units parameter would select the unit and use 0.01 as a factor. Type: indicates the parameter precision type (integer or floating comma). Rated Value. Maximum Value: This value is for informational purposes only. Minimum Value: Minimum value allowed for the parameter. For information only. Step: Magnitude increment value. For information only.

Some of the described data may or may not appear in the window depending on the data read in the working profile. These parameters are added to the equipment's set of signals (defined in the profile) for use in logic, communications, etc. They can also be referenced from Zivercomplus®.



3.6.3

Settings

This section explains how to configure user settings with the ZIverlog® configuration module. Users can access the Settings Group screen by pressing on the Settings sub-option in the main menu's Define Resources option. All settings must belong to a group. The groups and settings defined in this section will be complementary to the equipment's own settings, and like these, they can be referenced from Zivercomplus®. Groups entered in the configuration will have a unique entry in the tree, from the settings node of Zivercomplus®, under the name User Settings. The different configured groups will belong to this node, and the settings belonging to a specific group will be displayed under that group. A maximum of 16 groups and 256 settings can be configured.

3.6.3.a

Settings Group

As described above, the following screen can be accessed from the main menu. This screen includes the following controls: -

-

-

Group: dropdown list with the Settings Groups included in the configuration. The group selected here conditions the values shown in the rest of the screen. The name appearing here is the same as the name that will be shown in the HMI and Zivercomplus® to identify the Settings Group. Description: description of the settings group. Group Settings: a sorted list of the settings belonging to the selected group in the dropdown list labeled Group. The description given here of the setting comprises a starting number that indicates the order of the setting inside the group, an ID that gives an idea of the setting type (AA = Analog, AB = Boolean), and finally the message or text representing the setting in Zivercomplus® and in the HMI. Edit Settings: button providing access to the screen where the selected setting can be configured. This screen is described in section Settings. It can also be accessed by double-clicking on the setting you wish to edit in the Group Settings list.

3.6.3.b

Add Group: button providing access to the screen where a new group can be entered. The screen appearing on the right, which is the same screen used to rename groups, is displayed. This screen registers the group ID and description. The ID is required while the description is optional. By pressing the Accept button on this screen, the ID value is checked to be valid, i.e. whether it is null and unique in the configuration. If it is valid, then the new group is registered; otherwise, an error message is displayed. Delete Group: deletes the selected group together with its settings. If any one of the group settings is being used in a logic, then the connection is deleted; this means that some logic gates or opcodes can be incomplete. Sort Groups: button providing access to the screen where the groups are sorted. The generic sorting screen explained in section Using controls, is displayed. The order given to each of the groups is the order in which the data will be shown in the HMI and in Zivercomplus®. Rename Group: button providing access to the screen where group data can be changed. The same screen that is used to add groups is displayed; this is the same screen used for registering a new group. This screen shows the group ID and description which can be edited by the user. When you press Accept, the new ID is checked for validity (it exists and is unique in the configuration). If it is, then the group information is changed without varying the data of the settings that comprise it or its order.

Defining Settings

This screen can be accessed by pressing the Edit Settings button in the Settings Group screen, or by double-clicking on the setting you wish to edit in the same screen. This screen includes the following controls: -

-

-

Group: ID of the settings group to which the settings belong. This value is for informational purposes; that is, it cannot be edited from this screen. Message: ID of the setting in the HMI and in Zivercomplus®. Allows up to 16 characters. Description: Setting description. This value is not required.



-

-

-

Setting Type: drop-down list including valid setting types. The valid types of settings are: o Analog: Numeric with 3 decimals. o Boolean: Digital value, only allows 0 or 1 values. Units: the valid units list will differ according to the selected setting type. The maximum, minimum and step values allowed can also vary depending on the selected unit. Maximum: maximum value allowed for the setting (*). Minimum: minimum value allowed for the setting (*). Default Value: default value of the setting (*). Step: setting step value. Tool Bar: bar for moving and sorting settings (see section Using Controls). All the settings belonging to the selected group can be scrolled through using this bar. New: registers a new setting for the selected group. By default, the following values are registered: o Message: 'Setting' followed by the group number (group order) and setting number (setting order) o Setting type: boolean o Units: NULL (no units) o Maximum: 1 (being boolean, it is a fixed, not configurable value) o Minimum: 0 (being boolean, it is a fixed, not configurable value) o Default value: 0 o Step: 1 (being boolean, it is a fixed, not configurable value) Delete: Deletes the selected setting from the group. If it is being used in the logic, it will be deleted. (*) The configuration module will perform all checks for data consistency, that is, it will check to make sure the minimum value does not exceed the maximum value, that the default value is within the minimum and maximum values, etc.

3.6.4

Constants

The Constants menu option lets you configure user-defined constants. This screen, like the Parameters screen, is divided into a Detail and a List section. The controls appear in both sections, and all can be edited: -

-

Description: description of the constant. Value: value of the constant.


3.6 Defining Resources 3.6.5

Commands

3.6.5.a

Command Element Description

Some IEDs like #IRV, #ZLV and others do not have commands or controls by which they operate, that is, they cannot be directly operated by means of breakers, reclosers, disconnect switches, or any other elements. Such elements must be defined in the configuration, and this is why they are always referred to in the application as Command Elements. The IED units do have unconnected inputs that can be fed by means of commands. A Command Element is defined by the following information: -

-

Command Element Name. List of digital signals that condition the element's status. Element status list: For each status the following have to be defined: o Text identifying the status. o Group of signals and their values to be examined in order to determine the element's status. List of actions associated with the element: For each action the following have to be defined: o Text identifying the action. o Signal associated with the action. When a command is executed in relation to the action a pulse with a fixed duration is being generated over the signal being defined. o The group of element status conditions on which the action can be executed (optional information). o The set of status conditions where the element is already in the desired position when the action is executed (optional information).

A breaker with three status positions - open, closed and unknown- will be defined as an example: Command Element Name Possible status conditions Possible actions for the element

Breaker Open, Closed, and Unknown Open and Close

The value of the signals for the different element status conditions is defined: Status Open Closed Unknown

Value of the signal conditioning the status Open Breaker Closed Breaker Value to 1 Value to 0 Value to 0 Value to 1 -

The status conditions in which each action can be executed and the signal associated with the action are defined: Actions

Signal associated with the action

Open

Breaker Open Command

Close

Breaker Closed Command

STATUS Open In position Do not operate Not in position. Can be operated


Closed Not in position Can be operate In position Do not operated

Unknown -


3.6.5.b

Configuring the Command

This section explains how to configure the Command Element with the ZIverlog® configuration module. Users can access the Equipment Command Configuration screen by pressing on the Commands sub-option in the main menu's Define Resources option. All of the element's components described in the previous section are going to be configured on the same screen. This screen is divided into three tabs. Each of the tabs configures one part of the command. -

Signals defining the Status. Element Status Conditions. Element Actions. Element Blockings.

You can switch from one page to another by pressing on the tab located on the top of the box, identified by the titles listed earlier. In addition to the aforementioned pages, the following controls can be found in the upper portion of the screen: -

-

-

-

Element Name: text which identifies the command element. This text can be directly edited by the user. Moreover, this control is a drop-down list for selecting the command to be configured so that data appearing on the signal, status condition, and action pages match the command selected in this list. New Command: includes a new command element with no associated status condition, actions or signals. By default it is given the name Order Element followed by the first free (unused) number starting from 0. As indicated earlier, this name can be changed simply by editing the text. Delete Command: deletes the command element selected on the list. When the command element is deleted, not only are its associated actions, status conditions, and signals deleted, but also the communications if these are used as a command for some protocols.. Import Command: lets you import commands defined in another configuration. This button takes you to the Import Commands screen described further below.



 Signals defining the Status These are the signals that condition the Command Element's status. This screen shows the complete list of signals enabled to define the status of the command element. The list consists of two columns. The first column shows the description of the group to which the signal defining the status (on the same line but in the next column) belongs. For more information about signal types (groups), see section Signal Types. The controls shown on this screen are as follows: -

-

New: shows the signal selection screen (see section Signal Selection Screen). If the selected signal is accepted, it is included as a status signal and added to the list on the screen. Delete: deletes the signal associated with the selected status. Edit: shows the signal selection screen (see section Signal Selection Screen). In this way, a different status signal can be selected. When you return to the starting screen, the signal that was first selected changes to the new selection you have just made. These signals can also be edited on the list by left-clicking the mouse on Signal Type or on one of the signals that define the status condition.


Chapter 3. Managing Control Configurations  Command Status Conditions This screen defines the command element status conditions and the data associated with the status conditions: A complete list of command element status conditions is displayed on the left, and the signals defining the status (configured in the previous screen), together with the value associated with each signal, are displayed on the right. For each status condition you have to configure the values of the signals defining the status condition (see section Command Element Description). The controls shown on this screen are as follows: -

New Status: registers a new status and displays it on the list to the left. By default, the text given will be Status, followed by the first free number starting from 0. Delete Status: deletes the selected status from the list on the left. Status Text: list with the description of each status condition associated with the command element. This text can be edited by the user. Status Text Masks: the masks are defined by each of the element's status conditions so that they are shown at all times on the status signal value list relative to the selected Status. The selected Status will be the status highlighted in the list on the left side, which in turn is the status that is displayed in the Status Text Mask title: o Signals to be examined: list of signals defined in the previous screen that are common to all status conditions, since they are command element signals. o Value: the value of each signal. It is used to define the selected status. Since the signals to be examined are digital, the only valid values are '1', '0' and '-'. The latter indicates that the value of the signal is not taken into account when determining the status. To change this value, the user should place the cursor over the box defining the value and then left-click the mouse to scroll consecutively through all the possible values.



 Command Actions This screen defines the command element actions and the data associated with such actions. The left side of the screen contains a complete list of the command element actions and the signal for each of these actions. The command element status list configured in the previous screen, together with the status masks for each action, is displayed on the right. The action will be allowed (or not) depending on the status of the command element. The link between the action and the status conditions of the element is configured by defining the status masks. For more information, see the example in section Command Item Description. The controls shown on this screen are as follows: -

-

New Action: shows the signal selection screen (see section Signal Selection Screen). If you select a signal on this screen and press the Accept button, a new action will be enabled with the selected signal as the signal associated with the action. By default, the text given to the action will be Action, followed by the first free number starting from 0. This text can be edited by the user. The action will be included in the list. If you select a signal on this screen and press the Cancel button, the action will not be enabled as it has to be associated with a signal. When the action is executed, what is really happening is that a pulse with a fixed duration is acting on the selected signal. Delete Action: deletes the selected action (and its associated signal) from the list on the left. Action Text: list with the description of each action associated with the command element. This text can be edited by the user. Involved Signal: signal used to generate a pulse when executing an action. When you left-click on this field, the signal selection screen is displayed (see Signal Selection Screen) allowing you to edit the signal associated with the action. When you return to the starting screen (Equipment Command Configuration), the signal that was first selected changes to the new selection you have just made. Not all digital signals are valid for commands. For safety reasons, it is not allowed to establish the value of a signal from more than one source; that is, signals that already have an assigned value, those that take the value when executed in the logic, or those that establish their value through communications, cannot be used as signals associated with the action. For more information about permissions for using signals, see section Signal Restriction.



-

Successful Command Signal: digital signal stating successful command execution. Failed Command Signal: digital signal stating failed command execution. Timeout Setting: setting stating the waiting time before the command execution is considered failed. Note: Only given equipment have the possibility to configure these three signals (successful command execution, command failure and timeout setting). The equipment profile determines whether these data may or may not be configured.

-

Action Text Masks: the masks are defined for each of the control element's actions so that the status masks for the selected action are shown each time on the list. The selected action will be the action highlighted in the list on the left-hand side, which in turn is the action displayed in the Action Text Mask title. o status list: a list of the status conditions defined for the command element. The status conditions are common to all actions. o oper: indicates whether or not the selected action can be performed when the command element is in the status condition that is being configured (on the same line in the left column). o pos: means "in position", and indicates if the command element is in the same status condition arrived at after executing the action.

 Command Blocking In this "tab" command element locks are defined as well as the connection between locks and element commands. Bear in mind that the command configuration screen will not always show this "tab", as it would depend on equipment profile. Command locks may not be defined for some equipment. These shall directly be carried out through the logic.

The screen depicted shows to the left a complete list of command element actions, and to the right a list of locks defined for the element together with the lockout connected signal and lockout masks for each action. The status of the lockout signal must be checked prior to command execution.



This screen shows the following controls: -

-

-

New Blocking: displays the signal selection screen (see section signal selection screen). Selecting a signal on this screen and pressing OK button, a new lockout is created with the selected signal as connected signal. By default, the lockout text will be 'Lockout' followed by the first free number starting from 0. This text is user modifiable. The lockout will be shown in the list to the right. Pressing the Cancel button in the signal selection screen cancels the new lockout, as a lockout must be connected to a signal. Delete Blocking: the lockout (and its signal) selected in the list to the right is deleted. Blocking text: list with the description of all locks defined for the command element. This text is user modifiable. Connected signal: signal connected to the lockout. Signal to test whether the command can be executed. This is previous to testing the status of the command element. Pressing this field with the main mouse button displays the signal selection screen (see section signal selection screen) so that the signal connected to the lockout can be modified. Returning to the former screen, the new signal is shown instead of the previously selected signal. Blocking Action: all command element actions can be locked by a number of locks. The list to the right of the screen shows all command element locks and the Lockout Action column shows with a check the checkboxes that lockout the action selected in the list to the left, which at the same time appears as the column title. To checkmark an empty checkbox just press on it with the main mouse button. It will be unchecked if the same operation is made on a checkmarked box.

 Import Command By pressing the import button in the command definition screen, the Windows file selection dialog is displayed. The user can then choose the configuration from which to import the command(s). After selecting the configuration, the following screen is displayed containing all the commands defined in the selected configuration.

This screen shows a list with the description of all the available commands in the selected configuration, in addition to indicating if status conditions and actions have been defined for the configuration. This list is a multiple-selection list. You can select any commands you wish to include in the work configuration. To make a multiple selection, press and hold down the Ctrl key while selecting the desired commands by clicking on each of them with the mouse.



If the name of an imported command matches an existing command name, the imported command is added by including a hash mark (#) followed by a number in its name, thus avoiding duplicate command IDs. The digital configuration signals that are used in the command and do not exist in the current configuration are imported at the same time as the commands. Before importing the command, you should study whether the command can be included in the current configuration. It has already been noted that not all signals can be used as signals associated with the command's action. If the command to be imported has one or more of these signals, or other signals that do not exist in the current equipment profile, the command will not be imported. After importing, if an error has occurred or a command has not been imported for the described reasons, an error screen like the screen shown below is displayed. This screen not only indicates the total number of errors, but also provides a brief description of each. In this way, the user can know the reason why the command import was unsuccessful.



3.6.6

Analog Commands

Pressing the Analog Command option in the main menu Resource Definition, displays the screen 'Configuration of Equipment Analog Commands'. In this screen the analog command status signal as well as actions and possible command blocks are configured. The following controls are located on the upper part of the screen: -

-

-

-

3.6.6.a

Element Name: text to identify the analog command element that can directly be modified by the user. Furthermore, this control is a drop down list from which to select the command to be configured, so that data on the action and lockout pages correspond to the command selected from this list. New Command: creates a new analog command element, with neither status nor actions and connected signals. By default it is given the name 'Command Element' followed by the first free number (not used) starting from 0. As stated above, this name can be modified just modifying the text. Delete Command: deletes the command element selected from the list. By deleting the command element, all actions, status and connected signals are deleted and also it is deleted from communications if it were being used in any protocol. Connected Analog Signal: the analog signal representing the analog command element status.

Analog Command Actions

From this screen, both analog command element actions and associated data can be defined. This screen shows the following controls: -

-

-

New Action: displays the analog signal selection screen (see section signal selection Screen). Selecting an analog signal on this screen and pressing the OK button, a new action is created with the selected signal as connected signal. By default the action text will be 'Action' followed by the first free number starting form 0. This is a user modifiable text. The new action will be included into the list unless the Cancel button is pressed on the signal selection screen, as an action has to be connected to a signal. When executing the action what actually occurs is that a fixed duration pulse on that analog signal takes place and of amplitude over the signal value. Delete Action: deletes the action (and connected signal) selected in the list to the left. Action Text: list with the description of all actions connected to the command element. This text is user modifiable. Connected Signal: analog signal over which a pulse is generated when executing the action. Pressing the left mouse button on this field displays the signal selection screen (see section signal selection Screen) so that the analog signal connected to the action can be modified. Returning to the former screen (Analog Equipment Command Configuration screen), the new signal is shown instead of the previously selected signal. Not all analog signals are valid for command execution. For safety reasons, signal values cannot be established from more than one source, namely, signals with a value or acquiring value through logic execution or through communications, etc., may not be used as signals connected to the action. Successful Command Signal: digital signal stating successful action execution. Failed Command Signal: digital signal stating failed command execution. Timeout Setting: setting stating the waiting time before the command execution is considered failed.



3.6.6.b

Command Blocks

In this screen command element locks are defined as well as the connection between locks and element actions. As shown on the right, a complete list of analog command element actions is shown to the left; a list of locks defined for the element together with the lockout connected signal and lockout masks for each action is shown to the right. The status of the lockout signal must be checked prior to command execution. This screen shows the following controls: -

-

-

New Block: displays the signal selection screen (see section signal selection screen). Selecting a signal on this screen and pressing OK, a new lockout is created with the selected signal as connected signal. By default, the lockout text will be 'Lockout' followed by the first free number starting from 0. This text is user modifiable. The lockout will be shown in the list to the right except if the Cancel button is pressed in the signal selection Screen, as a lockout must be connected to a signal. Delete Block: the lockout (and its signal) selected in the list to the right is deleted. Block Text: list with the description of all locks defined for the command element. This text is user modifiable. Connected Signal: signal connected to the lockout. Signal to test whether the command can be executed. Pressing with the main mouse button on this field displays the signal selection Screen (see section signal selection Screen) so that the signal connected to the lockout can be modified. Returning to the former screen (Analog Equipment Command Configuration screen), the new signal is shown instead of the previously selected signal. Block Action: all command element actions can be locked by a number of locks. The list to the right of the screen shows all command element locks and the Lockout Action column shows with a checkmark the checkboxes that lockout the action selected in the list to the left, which at the same time appears as the column title. To checkmark an empty checkbox just press on it with the main mouse button. It will be unchecked if the same operation is made on a checked box.

3.7.1

Introduction

The purpose of this section is to define the communication parameters related to the configuration for protocols defined in the equipment. Users can access the configuration of the different protocols through the Communications option in the main menu. By pressing on Communications a submenu drops down to display a list of all the protocols supported by the equipment. This information is obtained from the equipment profile.

By selecting the appropriate option of each submenu, the user accesses the screen where the communication parameters for each protocol are configured. These parameters are what make communication with the central unit possible.

3.7.1.a

General Format and Screen Handling

The different communication screens are organized according to the following format: The main screen contains a page frame, that is, there are two configuration areas that are selectable by clicking on a tab, so only the information in the active tab is displayed. The two tabs available for these screens are the Detail and List tabs. The protocol option parameters can be configured in either of the two areas. The basic difference between the two is that the Detail tab only shows information about the selected signal, while the List tab provides a complete list of the configured signals with their respective parameters. The Accept and Cancel buttons are used the same way as described in section Using Controls.


3.7 Communications  Detail Page At the top of the Detail page, a drop-down list is displayed with the full list of the signals that can be configured for communications. When a signal is selected, the data representing the communication parameters at the bottom of the screen are updated. For a signal to be included in the communications data, simply activate the checkbox identifying the protocol configuration option. For example, to include a specific signal as DNP3 contact, the desired signal must be selected from the list of Available Signals. Once the signal is displayed as active in the list, the labeled checkbox is enabled (for this example, as DNP3 Contact). In doing this, the ZIverlog® configuration module enables the rest of the controls in order to configure the communication signal parameters, and it calculates the DNP3 contact number while giving the signal. This will be the first free communication number at that time. The number can be edited by the user by means of the relevant numeric control. The rest of the parameters are also initialized with their default values.

 List Page The List area includes all the signals that have been enabled for communication in the left-hand column. The different parameters applied to each of the signals are displayed in the two columns at the right. New signals are enabled on this screen by right-clicking the mouse and selecting the New option (see section Using controls). Similarly, to delete configuration signals, select the signal you wish to delete and then right-click the mouse and select Delete.

Procome

This option of the Communications menu opens a new submenu with the options the equipment allows to be configured for this protocol. By selecting the desired submenu option, you can access the screens for configuring the Events, Control Changes, Commands, Metering Values, Meters and Digital and Analog Outputs for communication using the Procome Protocol.

3.7.2.a

Events

This screen lets you configure the user-defined signals that will generate an event. Here is where the control events, that will complement the equipment-defined protection events in the log file, are configured. These events will be stored in the log file with the same format as the protection events, except that the valid range of the records will be from 40000 to 40023. For each of the records, the first 32 bits are assigned as activation bits and the remaining 32 bits are deactivation bits. The activation and deactivation bits will be paired, although both status conditions are not required to generate an event. The fields shown in the Detail tab are: -

-

Available Signals: dropdown list containing all user-defined signals during configuration (see Digital Signals). Event Description: The user can edit the text representing the event in this text box. By default, the description will match the description of the signal whose change will generate the event. When the event log is retrieved with Zivercomplus®, the text displayed for this type of event will appear in the box preceded by the indication Activation of or Deactivation of, depending on the type of status change.

Activation Generates an Event: if this checkbox is marked, an event is generated when the selected signal (in the list of available signals) is activated. If it is not marked, an event is not generated. Deactivation Generates an Event: if this checkbox is marked, an event is generated when the selected signal (in the list of available signals) is deactivated. If it is not marked, an event is not generated. Record Number: the number of the record where the event information is stored. The event information is stored at a specific position in the record. This position is a record bit. Each record can store up to 64 positions or bits. The first 32 are assigned as activation events, and the last 32 are for deactivation events. Valid range for control events: 40000- 40023

-

Activation Bit: position (bit) in the record where the activation event is stored. As indicated earlier, the activation and deactivation events are paired, although the two are not required to be activated simultaneously. However, their position is always separated 32 bits. The configurations module makes this change automatically. When an event is enabled, the first free position (by pairs) existing in the first record with free positions is calculated. Valid range for control events: 0-31

-

Deactivation Bit: position (bit) in the record where the deactivation event is stored. Valid range for control events: 32-63

The List tab lets the user configure the same fields as in the Detail section.

3.7.2.b

Control Changes

This screen lets you configure the signals that will generate Control Changes. When a primary equipment unit (usually a central unit) makes a request for control changes to the equipment, the equipment will send it the ID for any signal labeled as Control Changes whose status has changed since the last time a request was made. The fields shown in the Detail tab are: -

-

Signal Type: drop-down list containing the groups of signals that collect- the equipment's digital signals. For more information, see section Signal types. The list of available signals will depend on the selected group. Available Signals: list of digital equipment signals belonging to the selected group in signal type. Signals that can be configured as control changes include all equipmentdefined signals and user-defined signals that are included in the configuration. A maximum of 2048 Procome control changes can be labeled. Transmission Cause to be Generated: transmission cause generating the signal on change of status. Indicates the transmission cause that is activated when a change in the digital signal associated with the control change (ISC) occurs. The drop-down list contains a list of the configured Transmission Causes. For further information, see Transmission Causes below. The control change does not necessarily generate a transmission cause (default option). The maximum number of signals that can generate a transmission cause is 256. Associated Transmission Causes: causes for the change in a digital signal (ISC or control change). It is used to determine the reason for the change. One control change can be associated with different transmission causes; as a result, a complete list of transmission causes defined for the configuration is displayed under the Description heading (see Transmission Causes further below). A checkbox is displayed alongside each of the cause descriptions. The checkbox (titled Act) indicates whether the attached transmission cause is associated with the Procome control change (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). PROCOME Change: this checkbox indicates whether the selected signal is labeled as a Procome control change (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). A maximum of 2048 Procome changes is allowed


3.7 Communications

The screen to the right is displayed when this is done. The data are configured in the same way as described above for the List page.


Chapter 3. Managing Control Configurations  Transmission Causes Transmission Causes are defined as a set of identifiers that pinpoint the reason for a change in the control signal. Some signals labeled as control changes are also capable of changing the active cause when their status changes. In this way, changes posted by communications can be sent together with an associated cause indicating the reason for the change. The screen shown on the following page is used to configure the Transmission Causes. The description and configurable parameters for a transmission cause are displayed at the top, under the Detail title. The different causes can be accessed in two different ways: -

Using the Navigation Buttons located on the right side of the screen (for more information about this type of control, see Using Controls). Placing the cursor on the desired cause in the list displayed at the lower portion of the screen under the heading Complete List of Transmission Causes. This list shows all the causes enabled up to that moment, in addition to the parameters associated with each cause. The maximum number of Transmission Causes that can be configured for each piece of equipment is 32.

The fields that can be configured on this screen are: -

Identifier: number identifying the transmission cause when sent by communications. (Procome). Valid Range: 0-255 Default Value: 100

-

Validity (ms): valid time of the cause. This is the time the associated cause is active in the equipment. This time starts to count the moment the status, or the control change, signal that 'generates the cause' is changed. The time is expressed in milliseconds. Valid Range: 0 -10000 ms Default Value: 0


3.7 Communications

-

-

Description: the description given to the cause in order to identify it. This description is what is displayed in the control changes configuration screen (see Control Changes). Delete: deletes a transmission cause. When the transmission cause is deleted, the masks and cause generating signals associated with the control change signals are recalculated. New: enables a new control signal with default values: Identifier: 100 Valid Time: 0

The maximum number of valid Transmission Causes per configuration is 32.

3.7.2.c

Commands

This screen lets you configure the commands that will be sent via communications to the Procome protocol. The commands selected here to be used in communications can be referenced from Zivercomplus®, and are displayed under the Actions node. The commands are divided into two groups: commands defined in the configuration as Control Commands and those defined as Protection Commands. Each group is placed under a different node (though both are subnodes of Actions) so that the communication commands defined here can be operated from Zivercomplus®. The commands that can be operated through communications are those actions that were configured when defining the different command elements. For more information about the command elements or their associated actions, see section Commands. The fields shown in the Detail screen are: -

Command Element: dropdown list with the command elements defined in the configuration. The command element is completely userconfigurable and can represent any kind of command, e.g. from a signal up to a breaker. For more information about the command elements, see Commands section. When a specific command element is selected, the list in the control immediately below the element should be updated with the available actions for that element. This list does not include those command elements that have been defined without any associated actions.



-

-

Available Orders: list with the set of available actions for the element selected in the previous list. Procome Command: this checkbox indicates whether the selected order is labeled as a Procome control change (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). A maximum of 1024 Procome commands is allowed. Order Type: indicates whether the command is a control command or whether it is considered a protection command. Order Number: Procome command label associated with the order for sending via communications. Valid Range: 0-1023 Default Value: First free number (not used, starting with 0).

-

The order number does not have to be unique. Orders associated with the same Procome label can exist, provided the order type and DCO do not coincide simultaneously. For example, the same order number can be used for two actions, both of them labeled control, as long as one of them has the DCO set to ON and the other has it set to OFF. The configuration module will be capable of making this change when the user decides to use the same Procome order number. However, it will not allow that both an order's number and parameters match another's. If the user tries to perform this operation, the module will not allow it, displaying a warning reminding the user of the reason for this prohibition. DCO: Identification of the order type to allow double commands. Valid values are ON and OFF. As noted in the previous point, two label orders with the same Procome number, order type and DCO cannot coexist.

Pressing the List tab transfers you to the page listing the set of command actions labeled as Procome orders, together with their associated parameters. As indicated earlier, everything that is configured in the Detail tab can be configured in the List tab.


3.7 Communications

The List and Detail field matches are as follows: Element Order Procome Order Type Proc Nº DCO

Signal Type: drop-down list with the groups of signals containing all the equipment's analog signals, i.e. the magnitudes, which will be available in the equipment. For more information, see section Signal types. The list of available signals will depend on the selected group. Available Signals: list of analog equipment signals (magnitudes) belonging to the selected group in signal type. Signals that can be configured as measurements include all equipment-defined signals and user-defined signals that are included in the configuration. Procome Metering Value: this checkbox indicates whether the selected signal is labeled as a Procome Metering (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). A maximum of 256 Procome measurements is allowed. Metering Value Number: Procome label associated with the measurement. Each time a new Procome measurement is enabled, this value is established by default at the first free value for measurements. The user can change it in order to give it the desired value. Two magnitudes cannot be labeled with the same Procome metering number. Valid Range: 0-255. Default Value: First free number (not used, starting with 0).



The parameters for calculating the measurement to be sent via communications are as follows: -

Offset: Offset of the measurement. Maximum Limit: taken initially from the bottom of the measurement scale. Dependent on Rated Value: this checkbox indicates whether the measurement calculation is going to be performed depending on the signal's rated value (checkbox marked ) or not (no marks in checkbox). One formula or another will be displayed depending on whether or not the calculation information at the bottom of these parameters is marked.

The user can change the value of these parameters to send the desired value via communications. For example, if the user wishes to send the measurement value directly (not in accounts), this value can be set at 4095 and the operation not be performed depending on the nominal value. Thus, using the second formula, the value sent via communications is the measurement value (considering offset 0) directly. The equations for calculating the measurement to be sent via communications are as follows: -

Depending on the nominal value: MeasurementComs 

Output Writings

Output means any input or output, software or hardware, analog or digital, in the equipment whose value is set by the primary unit (generally a central unit). It is called an Output because it is an output datum from the primary station's point of view, since the primary station determines the value of this signal. From the application's point of view, it is not convenient to write directly to a hardware output, since it could be part of the equipment's direct logic outputs and both values could be contradictory (in addition to the risk of leaving a hardware output with a set value). The ideal application is writing over equipment logical inputs, even though they may be internally routed toward the secondary station's hardware outputs. For this reason, the configurations module will not let those signals that are already assigned a value or that take on a value when executed in the logic, by a command, etc., to be configured as output writing signals (both analog and digital). For more information about these limitations, see section Signal Restrictions. As described above, the output writing signals can be digital and analogical. The way each of them is configured is now explained.

Commands

This screen lets you configure the commands that will be sent via communications for the DNP3 protocol. Commands on elements or directly on the signal can be made in DNP3. Commands on Elements are, in reality, commands relating to the actions configured when defining each of the command elements (for more information about command elements or their associated actions, see section Commands). From the application's point of view, it is not convenient to perform a Command directly to a Hardware Output, since it could be part of the equipment's direct logic outputs and both values could be contradictory (in addition to the risk of leaving a hardware output with a set value). For this reason, the configurations module will not let those signals that are already assigned a value or that take on a value when executed in the logic, or signals whose value is established by the primary station (or other equipment), to be configured as DNP3 commands). It will, however, allow different commands to be performed on the same signal. For more information about these limitations, see section Signal Restrictions.

Offset: offset of the measurement. Always expressed in measurement secondary values. Irrespective of flags "Measurement in rated value" or "Measurement in primary value". · Maximum Value: in principle, it is taken as measurement full scale. Values depend on the activated flags. Expressed in: o Secondary Units when there are no active flags; times the rated value if flag "As a function of the rated value" is active; o Primary Units if flag "As a function of the primary value" is active; o Times The Primary Rated Value if both flags are active. Depending on Rated Value: this checkbox indicates whether the measurement calculation is going to be performed depending on the signal's rated value (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). One formula or another will be displayed depending on whether or not the calculation information at the bottom of these parameters is marked. As a Function of the Primary Value: states whether the measurement value is sent as a function of the primary value (box checkmarked) or secondary (default value, empty checkbox). This flag is only meaningful for static magnitudes (relay magnitudes) as user magnitudes always have a 1:1 transformation ratio (TR = 1).

The user can change the value of these parameters to send the desired value via communications. First, establish whether the measurement is sent as a value or as percentage of the maximum value. General equations for the calculation of measurements transmitted through communications: -

Engineering unit communications measurement value: MeasurementComs 

TR  ( Measurement  offset )  ( MultiplierFactor) Vn

Where: TR: Transformation ratio Vn: Rated value ComsMaxValue: Maximum value to be transmitted through communications. For example, if measurement request is made in 16 bits " ComsMaxValue " would be 2^15-1. If request is made in 32 bits (higher precision) this value would be 2^31-1. If flag As a Function of the Primary Value is not active, in formulas, the value TR would be considered as "1". If flag As a Function of the Rated Value is not active, in formulas, the value Vn would be considered as "1".

-

Signal Type: drop-down list containing the groups of signals containing all the equipment's digital signals. For more information, see section Signal Types. The list of available signals will depend on the selected group. Available Signals: list of digital equipment signals belonging to the selected group in 'signal type'. Signals that can be configured as Modbus Inputs and outputs include all equipment-defined signals and user-defined signals that are included in the configuration. Note that a signal cannot be labeled as an input and an output at the same time. Inputs Starting Address: starting address for all Modbus Inputs. Signals labeled as Modbus Inputs will take consecutive values starting with this value. Outputs Starting Address: starting address for all ModBus Outputs. Signals labeled as ModBus Outputs will take consecutive values starting with this value. Modbus Signal: this checkbox indicates whether the selected signal is labeled as a Modbus Input or output (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). By default, it is enabled as a Modbus Input. A maximum of 1024 Modbus Inputs and 1024 Modbus Outputs is allowed. Input, Output: control for the type of label assigned to the selected signal. A signal cannot be labeled simultaneously as a Modbus Input and a Modbus Output.



-

Modbus Address: Modbus label associated with the input or output signal. For the Modbus protocol, the communication labels given to these signals have to be consecutive. If the user edits the Modbus number value and gives it a value that was already assigned to another signal, then the new value will be assigned and the other values are shifted to avoid leaving 'gaps'. Each time a new Modbus signal is enabled, this value is established by default at the first free value from the starting address for the signal type (Modbus input or output). Valid Range for Inputs: from the starting address to (starting address + max number of enabled inputs -1). Valid Range for Outputs: from the starting address to (starting address + max number of enabled outputs -1). Default Value: first free number beginning with the starting address.

-

-

Command Element: drop-down list with the command elements defined in the configuration. The command element is completely user-configurable and can represent any kind of command, e.g. from a signal up to a breaker. For more information about the command elements, see section Commands. When a specific command element is selected, the list in the control immediately below the element should be updated with the available actions for that element. This list does not include those command elements that have been defined without any associated actions. Available Commands: List with the set of available actions for the element selected in the previous list. Command Number: This checkbox indicates whether the selected order is labeled as a Modbus Command (checkbox marked) or not (no marks in checkbox). A maximum of 1024 Modbus commands is allowed. Order Number: Modbus command label associated with the order for sending via communications. Valid Range: 0-1023. Default Value: First free number (not used, starting with 0. The order number does not have to be unique. Orders associated with the same Modbus label can exist, provided the COILS do not coincide. For example, the same order number can be used for two actions, as long as one of them has the COIL set to ON and the other has it set to OFF. The configuration module will be capable of making this change when the user decides to use the same Modbus order number. However, it will not allow both an order's number and parameters to match another's. If the user tries to perform this operation, the module will not allow it, displaying a warning reminding the user of the reason for this prohibition.

-

COIL: Identification of the order type to allow double commands. Valid values are ON and OFF. As noted in the previous point, two orders or labels with the same Modbus number and COIL cannot coexist.



Pressing the List tab switches you to the page listing the set of command actions labeled as Modbus commands, together with their associated parameters. As indicated earlier, everything that is configured in the Detail tab can be configured in the List tab.

The List and Detail field matches are as follows: Element Command Modbus Modbus No COIL

Command Element Available orders Modbus command Order number COIL

New orders cannot be included in this list, since all orders have to be associated with the defined command elements. To enable the order as a Modbus Command, activate the checkbox marked Modbus, just like in the List area. To make the order a non-Modbus command, deactivate the checkbox.

Protocol 61850 allows knowing the validity of the values of the different attributes constituting the nodes, as well as the reason why the value of an attribute is not valid any more. The way to configure this "validity" is common for all attributes. As with the validity, the reasons why an attribute is not valid any more can be configured. In principle, IEC 61850 standard considers the following non-validity reasons (61850-7-3; 6 Common data attribute types): Overflow OutOfRange BadReference Oscillatory

Failure OldData Inconsistent Inaccurate

For details on the validity associated to attributes representing statuses (related to digital signals), configuration of following details: BadReference, Oscillatory, Failure, OldData and Inconsistent will be possible.



For details on the validity associated to attributes representing statuses (related to digital signals), configuration of all details defined in the standard will be possible

Clicking on the validity checkbox or grid detail list checkboxes, displays a signal selection dialog box defined in section Signal Selection. This dialog box contains both equipment signals and signals created in the configuration.

General Data of the Graphical Display (= Single Line diagram) o Graphical Display Name: drop-down list containing the graphical displays defined in the configuration until now. This list can be edited, so that the screen name can be directly modified on the control. Single Line Diagram Controls o New Single Line Diagram: with this button a new Single Line diagram (graphical display) can be created and also display the Single Line diagram Design screen to add the objects constituting the Single Line diagram. o Modify Single Line Diagram: with this button the Single Line diagram Design screen can be displayed to modify the existing Single Line diagram, creating new objects, deleting others, moving objects, adding statuses, etc. o Delete Single Line Diagram: deletes the graphical display selected in the list Graphical Display Name of the User Screens. o Import Single Line Diagram: used to import a complete graphical display, both the design and object configuration data from other configuration. This button displays the screen to import Single Line diagrams, described in section Command Configuration. o Sort Single Line Diagrams: displays the sorting dialog box dealt with in section Use of the Controls. Object Definition: in this dialog area data of the object of the Single Line diagram selected in the screen can be configured. The object selected is shown inside a green frame. To select an object just press on it with the mouse. Objects without configuration data will be shown inside a red frame.

Data to be configured depend on the type of the selected object. Apart from the base of the Single Line Diagram, objects can be segregated into 4 types, which have no configuration data: -

Command type object. Status type object. Magnitude type object. Text type object.

The following data can be defined for these types of objects: -

-

Attributes: state whether the object is visible, can blink and, in the case of commands, whether it is selectable. The attribute activates by checking the applicable box (checkmarked). Blink Signal or Setting: if the 'blink' attribute is activated, activating this signal states that the object must blink. It will cease when the signal deactivates. If the object is of magnitude type, instead of a signal, the blink setting will define the time to blink. Clicking a setting configuration box displays a dialog box for setting selection. This dialog box shows the analog settings defined in the configuration sorted out as a function of the group they belong to.


3.9 Graphical HMI 

Command Object

Command objects represent objects able to adopt a number of states varying from 1 to 16. Furthermore they can be operated from graphical MMI provided object attributes are configured as selectable, so that actions can be executed on it (for example, breaker opening or closing). -

-

Associated Logic Element: command element on which actions are executed and from which the information defining its status at any time is obtained. The drop down list shows all logic elements defined in the configuration. BMPs Associated to each Status: command type objects have the number of statuses stated by the associated logic element. In grids the connection between object statuses and the bmp shown in the graphical display must be established. Grid Status-BMP shows the connection mentioned above. The status list can only be modified changing the logic element associated to the command object; the BMPs is a function of the bmps selected when designing the Single Line diagram (see section Single Line diagram Design). To modify the Status-BMP connection, click the BMP associated to the status to be modified. Then, the grid to the right identified as BMP is activated and the previous one disabled, so that any of the bmps defined for the object can be selected, modifying the connection mentioned and resetting the controls to the original enable / disable status.

-

Actions associated to the Buttons: the front of a equipment with graphical display is provided with 3 buttons to execute: , and actions, which are normally associated to open, close and lock out actions respectively.

The actions list will correspond to the logic element associated to the object. The connection between actions and buttons is performed in the same way as described for the statuses. Apart from the 3 front buttons, in the list of available buttons the application shows one more button: , which is identified as 'not allocated'. This button does not correspond to any front physical button, but is used to be associated to those actions that cannot be executed locally from the equipment front.


Chapter 3. Managing Control Configurations 

2 Status Type Object

The 2 status type object represents an object with two statuses depending on the value of the signal to which it is associated (Deactivated= signal to 0; Activated = signal to 1). No action on the object from the graphical HMI is possible, its status changes when the signal value changes. -

Associated Signal: it is configured as explained in section Signal Selection. BMPs Associated to each Status: a 2 status type object has 2 associated BMPs. In grids the connection between object statuses as a function of the associated signal value and the bmp shown in the graphical display must be established. The Status-BMP grid shows the connection mentioned above. The status list is always fixed, the BMPs list is a function of the bmps selected when designing the Single Line diagram (see section Single Line diagram Design). To modify the connection Status-BMP, click on the BMP associated to the status to be modified. Then, the grid to the right identified as BMP is activated and the previous one disabled, so that any of the bmps defined for the object can be selected, modifying the connection mentioned and resetting the controls to the original enable / disable status.



Magnitude Type Object -



Associated Signal: It is configured as explained in section Signal Selection.

Text Type Object -

Text: used to modify the object text. Maximum number of characters allowed is 16.

3.9.3.b

Single Line Diagram Design

This section describes how to design a new Single Line diagram or modify an existing one. It is identified as 'design' because it is the place where the Single Line diagram graphical part is defined, namely, object drawings and texts as well as their position in the display. Apart from the object types defined in the section above (Command Type, 2 Status Type, Magnitude Type and Text Type), the base type appears in the Single Line diagram design. The latter is not shown in the above case as its data are not configurable. The base is always visible, it will be the display background and will be represented by a single bmp not depending on any status. The meaning and operation of the screen controls are as follows: -

-

Name: editable text. When a new Single Line diagram is created the application gives it a default name that can be modified at any time by the user from this control. New Object: pressing this button creates the object type selected in the option selection controls to the left of this control. If the type of object selected is magnitude or text type, the object will be created in the position (0,0) of the Single Line diagram grid and with a default text. If the type of data is status, command or base type the Windows® Open Image window is displayed to select an existing bmp. If a valid bmp is selected the object will be created in the position (0,0) of the Single Line diagram grid. To modify the object position in the grid and, thus, in the equipment display, just 'drag' the object with the mouse to the new position or select the object modifying the numerical controls tagged x and y, which represent the object coordinates as can be seen later on. Text: this control is enabled when selecting a text type or magnitude type object in the Single Line diagram grid. Allows editing the text to be shown in the Single Line diagram. Bear in mind that once the configuration has been sent out to the equipment the magnitude object text edited will not be shown, but the associated magnitude value together with the units instead.



-

-

-

BMPs for Object Statuses: set of BMPs that can represent the object. All selected BMPs must be of one color and have the same size, as they are representing the same object. Different BMPs will be shown as function of the object status at that time according to the object configuration (subject dealt with in section Configuration of Single Line diagram data). This control is only enabled for Command Type or 2 Status Type Objects. Command Type objects must have at least one BMP to represent them, whereas it is mandatory that 2 Status Type Objects have two BMPs, this being the reason why New and Delete controls are disabled. One BMP can be modified by pressing it twice consecutively. This displays the Windows® Open Image window for the user to select the new bmp. Coordinates x,y: show the position of the object within the display taking the box top left corner as origin of coordinates. These coordinates are the coordinates of the top left corner of the selected object, not of the center. The object can be moved across the screen by modifying the value of these controls. Import Single Line Diagram: this button is enabled only when the screen is displayed through the New Single Line diagram option. A graphic of a Single Line diagram created in other configuration or a Single Line diagram saved using the old format (.cfg) can be imported with this control. This function will be explained in more detail in the next section.

Pressing the right mouse button on an object of the Single Line diagram grid displays a menu with the following options: -

-

3.9.3.c

Delete object: selecting this option deletes the selected object. Before deleting the object the program checks if it has been configured, in which case a warning will appear stating that this action implies deleting the configured connections. Send to the Background: sends the object to the background so that what is underneath can be visualized. Bear in mind that objects are opaque.

Import Single Line Diagram and Import Single Line Diagram Graphic Design

The application allows importing complete Single Line diagrams with object configuration data or importing only the graphic design of the same. To import complete Single Line diagrams press the button Import Single Line Diagram in the Single Line Diagram Configuration screen. To import Single Line diagram graphics press the button Single Line Diagram Graphic in the Single Line Diagram Design screen. In both cases, follow the procedure below: Pressing the above-mentioned button displays the Windows file selection dialog box for the user to select the configuration from which to import the Single Line diagrams (it must be born in mind that if Single Line diagram graphics are imported two types of files can be imported: configuration files (.cfp) or Single Line diagrams with format files (.cfg). In the latter case, the file contains the information of only one Single Line diagram design, so that this Single Line diagram design will be directly imported).


3.9 Graphical HMI

The screen shows a list with the description of all available graphical displays in the selected configuration. As it is a multiple selection list, the user can select all the Single Line diagrams to be created in the working configuration. For a multiple selection keep pressed the "Ctrl" key while the desired controls are selected with the mouse. If the name of any imported Single Line diagram coincides with the name of an existing Single Line diagram, the imported Single Line diagram will be created modifying the identifier with the character '-' followed by a number, this way avoiding duplicity of identifiers. If Single Line diagrams are imported from the data configuration screen, configuration digital signals, magnitudes or commands used to define Single Line diagram objects that do not already exist in the configuration will be imported at the same time than Single Line diagrams are imported. This type of information or any other information related to attributes, signals or logic elements associated to the objects is not imported when importing Single Line diagram design. Any errors occurred during the import process will be displayed in the error screen at the end of the import process. This screen shows the number of errors as well as a brief description of the same; this way the user can know the reasons why the Single Line diagram could not be imported or the reason why the import was not complete.

Annex A. Oscillo Viewer This Annex describes the functions of the Oscillo Viewer application and how to use them.

A.1

Introduction

The input data upon which the application works must be of the following formats: -

COMTRADE IEEE Std C37.111-1991 (ASCII). COMTRADE IEEE Std C37.111-1999 (ASCII). COMTRADE IEEE Std C37.111-1999 (binary). ZIV.

The application has a browser-like user interface for performing the following tasks: -

A.2

Treatment of files in 4 different formats according to the standards mentioned. Graphic representation of information captured in analog as well as digital channels. Analysis of these graphs. Phasor calculation.

Structure of the Application

From the user's point of view, the application has a browser-like structure and is divided into 4 zones: menus and summarized functions (top zone), explorer for selecting files (left zone), channels information zone (displays of X and Y values of the cursors in the graphs) and oscillos zone (graphic representation and handling of oscillos).

A.3

Operational Modes

There are 4 different ways to operate with the graphs of any oscillo. They are selected with the 2 buttons of the following figures: Synchronized and Not overlaid. Synchronized and Overlaid. Not Synchronized and Not overlaid. Not Synchronized and Overlaid.

 Synchronized and Not Synchronized Mode The application starts up in synchronized mode. In this mode, all the cursors of the graphs of an oscillo move in synchronization. This means that, when any cursor of any graph of an oscillo in synchronized operation mode is selected and dragged with the left mouse button, all the rest of the cursors of that oscillo will move to the same X coordinate. Synchronized mode changes to not synchronized mode when the synchronization button is clicked.

 Overlaid and Not Overlaid Modes The application starts up in not overlaid mode. In this mode, each analog channel is shown in a graph. In overlaid mode, every "n" analog channels are shown in a graph, where "n" is a number configurable from the Language and channels submenu of the Settings menu. Not overlaid mode changes to overlaid mode when the overlay button is clicked.



A.4

Main Menu

There are the followings options: File, Edit, View, Tools, Config. Options, Window and Help.

A.4.1 -

A.4.2 -

File Menu New: opens an empty oscillo, without graphs Open: opens a File explorer to select a file. Close: closes the active oscillo and offers the option of generating a new file with the channels that it contains as long as the file has been modified somehow Oscillos with channels sampled at different frequencies must have the same frequency at the same instant in time; otherwise they cannot be stored. Save: allows generating a file with ZIV or COMTRADE (IEEE Std C37.111-1999 and IEEE Std C37.111-1991) format from the channels of the active oscillo. There is a module to convert ZIV format to COMTRADE, but there is none for converting COMTRADE format to ZIV. When this option is selected, the application shows a panel in which the user can set the parameters for saving the new oscillo file. Page Setup: allows establishing the configuration settings of the page for printing. Preview: presents a preview of what is to be printed. Print: prints the graphs of the active oscillo. For black and white printers and overlaid oscillos, different traces are used for the printing. Properties: shows the characteristics of the channels of the active graph in a floating panel. Quit: exits the application. Before quitting, it asks if the modified oscillos are to be saved. If so, the user can choose the directory and name under which to save the file.

Edit Menu Copy: marks the graphs selected in the active oscillo for copying. Cut: marks the graphs selected in the active oscillo for copying and deleting. Paste: pastes the previously copied or cut graphs into the active oscillo. Select All: selects all the graphs of the active oscillo.



A.4.3 -

A.4.4

View Menu Explorer: hides or shows the file explorer area. Tool bar: hides or shows the tool bar (zoom, pan, etc.). Channel Information: hides or shows the display tree. Full Screen: maximizes the oscillo zone with the active oscillo.

Tools Menu: Phasor Calculation

To calculate phasors, several channels of the active oscillo are selected from the Display tree and the cursors are placed at the desired point of the graph. If the channels are in different graphs, the oscillo must be in Synchronized mode. When it is in Synchronized mode, selecting the Phasor Calculation submenu of the Tools menu brings up the right panel: Each "axonometric isometric" graph corresponds to each cursor. In each graph, there is a module+argument representation for each channel in its corresponding color. Selecting any of the rows (1 row/channel) in the lists of values under each of the graphs forces the corresponding channel to be represented with angle 0º, and all the rest of the modules will be drawn with respect to this selected channel.

Configuration Menu Zoom Mode: Has 4 types of zoom: o X Axis: with the zoom tool active in this mode, whenever it zooms, a window opens and it zooms only on the X axis; o Y Axis: with the zoom tool active in this mode, whenever it zooms, a window opens and it zooms only on the Y axis; o XY Axis: with the zoom tool active in this mode, whenever it zooms, a window opens and it zooms on the X and Y axes; o Point: with the zoom tool active in this mode, whenever the left mouse button clicks on a graph, it zooms on the point selected. Colors: allows selecting preferred colors for representing channels in graphs. Directory: this menu option allows changing both the initial directory from which the files are selected for the File explorer when the application starts up and the current directory, which serves as the root directory for the file explorer. Language and Channels: it allows selecting the language. There are 4 options: Spanish, English, French and Portuguese. The application is prepared with the texts for Spanish and English. Generating texts for the other languages does not entail a change in the code. This option also allows selecting the number of analog and digital channels to be loaded per graph. The number of analog channels only has effect if the oscillo in which a graph is located is in Overlaid mode. o Analog Channels per Graph: defines the number of analog channels to be represented for each graph. o Digital Channels per Graph: defines the number of digital channels to be represented for each graph.

Window Menu Vertical: arranges all the oscillos vertically, one under another. Cascade: arranges all the oscillos in cascade. Window X: creates a menu option for each open oscillo for direct selection from the menu.

Help Menu About: shows a panel with the product information. Help: opens the screen help.



A.5

File Explorer

The File explorer is in left zone of the user interface and has 2 parts, a lower and an upper part. The upper part displays directories and COMTRADE or ZIV files if there are any. The lower part displays files if what is selected in the upper part is a directory, or channels if what is selected in the upper part is a file with oscillograph records. Green icons represent analogid channels and yellow icons represent digital channels. There are 3 different ways to make this visible: -

From the File explorer icon ( ). From the menu option: View / Explorer. Moving the cursor to the left edge of the window of the application.

There are another 3 ways to make it disappear: -

From the File explorer icon ( ). From the menu option: View / Explorer. Clicking anywhere off the File explorer.

From the lower part, files with all their channels can be selected or just channels independently. Holding down the Shift key while selecting channels will select contiguous channels. Holding down the Control key while selecting channels will add channels to the selection one by one. After selecting one, several channels or a complete file of oscillographic records, keep pressed the left mouse button to drag it to an open oscillographic display. Releasing the left mouse button on an oscillographic record channels are loaded in oscillographs.



A.6

Channel Information

The Display tree contains the graphs and channels of the active oscillo. It shows the channel name, type, the current values of the 2 cursors for the Y axis, the maximum and minimum values, RMS value and the units: Whenever a cursor stops moving, the corresponding values update in the Display tree in the right part of the window of the application. This Display tree can be shown 2 different ways: -

From the Display icon ( ); From the menu option: View / Channel Information.

The Display tree can be hidden 2 different ways: -

From the Display icon ( ); From the menu option: View / Channel Information.

The order of the channels in this zone is the same as in its oscillo. Right clicking on a node of this tree allows operating on oscillos, graphs and channels.
