should be read before commencing any work on the equipment. Health and safety The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associ ated with the equipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section. Explanation of symbols and labels The meaning of symbols and labels that may be used on the equipment or in the product documentation is given below. Installing, Commissioning and Serv icing Equipment connections Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on this equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. The product documentation should be consulted before in stalling, commissioning or servicing the equipment. Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated. If there is unlocked access to the equipment, care should be taken by all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to ensure that termin al block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. To ensure that wires are correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be used. Before energizing the equipment, it must be gr ounded (earthed) using the protective ground (earth) terminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment. Omitting or disconnecting the equipment ground (earth) may cause a safety hazard. The recommended minimum ground (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm 2 (#12 AWG), unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the product documentation. Before energizing the equipment, the following should be checked: 1. Voltage rating and polarity 2. CT circuit rating and integrity of connections 3. Protective fuse rating 4. Integrity of ground (earth) connection (where applicable ) 5. Equipment operating conditions The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits. Curr ent transformer circuits Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Insulation a nd dielectric strength testing Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected. Remov al and insertion of modules All M87x active circuitry is located on remov able modules. Unless a Module is specifically intended for Hot Swap (see documentation), it mu st not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment while it is energized, since this may result in damage. Hot Swap modules may be installed and removed under power. Refer to the appropriate section or manual to determine if the particular module is Hot Swap compatible. For all other modules, remove all power from the unit before installing or removing any module. All Ha zardous Voltages MUST be removed from the M87x before removing or installing the Power Supply Module (Vxx) or the Signal Input Module (S1x). All conne ctions to a module must be removed before removing the module. Do not attempt to install a module with signals connected. Fibre optic c ommunication Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.
WARNING: Emissions - Class A Device (EN55011) This is a Class A industrial device. Operati on of this device in a residential area may cause harmful interference, which may require the user to take adequate measures. Dec ommissioning and Disposal 1. Decommissioning The auxiliary supply circuit in the equipment may include capacitors across the supply or to ground (earth). To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely isolating the supplies to the relay (both poles of any dc supply), the capacitors should be safely discharged via the external terminals before decommissioning. 2. Disposal It is recommended that incineration and disposal to watercourses is avoided. The product should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any products containing batteries should have them removed before disposal, taking precaut ions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of operation may apply to the disposal of lithium batteries.

- HOUSING AND BACKPLANE The M87x chassis is a modular-by-board design, with a rugged aluminium housing specifically designed to meet the harsh conditi ons found in utility and industrial applications. The chassis features a passive backplane, an embedded and fully compatible CompactPCITM (cPCI) bus section and proprietary signal input and analogue (DSP) processor sections. All active circuitry is located on removable modules. There are four types of modules: Power Supply, Signal Input, the Host/Analogue-Digital Signal Processor, and cPCI expansion modules. See Figure 1 fo r the locations of the module bays in the standard chassis. Power Supply CPCI Expansion Host/DSP Signal Input M0135ENa FIGURE 1 - FRONT VIEW AND MODULE ASSIGNMENT (C07A5, M871 ONLY) The power supply bay utilizes a standard cPCI power connector. The signal input bay uses a self-aligning 24-pin header. The Analogue-Digital Signal Processor board interfaces to the PCI Bus with a standard cPCI connector, and uses a 24-pin header to connect to the analogue signals from the Signal Input Board. The Host Processor and the cPCI expansion bays have standard cPCI connectors. The expansion bays are fully compatible, both electrically and mechanically with cPCI standa rds. The Backplane board is an eight-layer circuit board, and contains a 5V, 33MHz cPCI bus. The standard bay assignment for the standard chassis (C07A5) used for the M871 is shown above. The M871 and M872 are also available in an intermediate chassis (C10A7) that adds two additional cPCI expansion bays, and an extended chassis, (C12A8) that adds three additional cPCI expansion bays. The H12 host processor with either of the combined Ethernet options (E1 or E3) uses a wider front plate incorporating the first of the expansion slots to the left of the host/analogue/Ethernet module H12

2.1 Installation
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY PROPERLY TRAINED OR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
2.2 Initial Inspection
ries instruments are carefully checked and "burned in" at the factory before shipment. Damage can occur however, so please check the instrument for shipping damage as it is unpacked. Notify Alstom Grid immediately if any damage has occurred, and save any damaged shipping containers.
2.3 Protective Ground/Earth Connections
re two chassis ground points that MUST be connected to Earth Ground (refer to Figure 11). The first is the Protective Ground (Earth) terminal (terminal 2) on the Power Supply input. The minimum Protective Ground (Earth) wire size is 2.5 mm2 (#12 AWG). The second is the mounting flange. Alstom Grid recommends that all grounding be performed in accordance with ANSI/IEEE C57.13.3-1983.
2.4 Instrument Mounting
unit should be mounted with four #10-32 (M4) screws. Make sure that any paint or other coatings on the panel do not prevent electrical contact. The device is intended to be connected to earth ground at the mounting plate. See Section 2.3.
2.5 Surge Protection
protection devices are incorporated into the power supply. See Section 2.3 for grounding/earthed recommendations. If the unit is to be powered from a VT, it is recommended that one side of the VT be ground ed at the instrument following ANSI/IEEE
2.6 Cleaning
ning the exterior of the instrument shall be limited to the wiping of the instrument using a soft damp cloth applicator with cleaning agents that are not alcohol based, and are nonflammable and non-explosive.
2.7 Removal and Installation of Modules
All active circuitry is locate d on removable modules. Hot Swap modules may be installed and removed under power. Refer to the appropriate section or manual to determine if the particular module is Hot Swap compatible. For all other modules, remove all power from the unit before installing or removing any module. All Hazardous Voltages MUST be removed from the M87x before removing or installing the Power Supply Module or the Signal Input Module. The Signal Input Module and the Power Supply may be withdrawn from the housing after removal of the front panel screws.
ctions to a module must be removed before removing the module. Do not attempt to install a module with signals connected. To remove a cPCI module, use the following procedure: Remove power from the unit (except Hot Swap modules). 2. Unscrew the M2.5 Phillips front panel screws (note that these are c aptive screws). The screw in the handle has been left out intentionally. 3. Pull the red sliding release tab up and outward until handle is unlocked. 4. Push the handle downward (when viewed from the front) to lever out the module. 5. Once the module is disengaged from the backplane connector, carefully withdraw the module. 6. Be extremely careful when handling the module, especially the backplane connector. To insert a cPCI module, use the following procedure: 1. Make sure the red sliding release tab is fully extended from the handle, and that the handle is in the downward position (when viewed from the front). 2. Line up the module with the card guides in the appropriate position (the Host/Analog- Digital Signal Processor Module MUST be inserted in the right most double width bay). 3. Use the handle to lever the module into the housing. 4. When the module is fully engaged, tighten the M2.5 Phillips front panel screws. The screw in the handle has been left out intentionally.
- HOST / ANALOGUE-DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR MODULE H11 / H12 AND A10 The Host/Analogue-Digital Signal Processor Module is an assembly consisting of two sections: the Host board and the Analogue-Digital Signal Processor board.
3.1 Host board
U module consists of a 486-clas s microprocessor, four communications ports and a CompactPCI TM master bridge. The H11 host module offers non-volatile memory expansion via an optional Compact Flash card. The H12 host module utilizes a Compact Flash card, available in optional sizes, and offers optional Ethernet interfaces (E1 and E3).
3.1.1 Serial Port/Front Panel Board
rial Port/Front Panel Board consists of t he four serial driver connectors, four status LED’s, four bi-colour serial port LED’s, and a reset button. Port P1 is a PC-AT style 9-pin D connector for the dedicated RS-232 port, and ports P2, P3, and P4 are universal 150-mil, 6- pin removable connectors for the RS-232/RS-485 serial ports. P2, P3, and P4 are software (user) configurable for RS-232 or RS-485 mode. The RS-232 drivers support full and half duplex modes. See Figures 4-7 for signal assignments.
3.1.1.1 Service Port (P1)
When connecting to the Service port DB9M (P1) from a PC, a null modem cable is required. The Service Port can be used with a PC runnin g a terminal emulation program. Upon start- up, the M87x default configuration sets P1 fo r 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control handshaking. These parameters are user-configurable. A small number of messages are sent to P1 and the M87x then outputs system messages. Enter the command mode by pressing the ENTER key until the system outputs a prompting message. Allowable commands are: Service Port\\Zmodem Commands c: dir receive time cd exit reset type chp1 getlog router trigger dr1 chp2 goose send trigger dr2 d: ip serial trigger wv1 date mac setlog trigger wv2 del nsap subnet ver dio point password software whoami display on pulse receive vio point display off reboot status Type “help <command>” to find out more about a particular command. The more commonly used commands are: ip - Set Internet Protocol (IP) address information in "dotted decimal" format. The IP address defaults to "192.168.0.254". router – Set the Gateway (Router) address. The Gateway (Router) address defaults to "192.168.0.1". nsap - Set the OSI network address (NSAP) in "space delimited octet string" format. The default address is "49 00 01 42 49 09 01 01" which is a local address not attached to the global OSI network.
The correct value for your network should be obtained from the network administrator. The default value s are valid for a device that is attached to a local intranet with optional access via a router (such as a device within a substation). time - Set the time as 24-hour UTC time. Time is entered as HH:MM:SS. The factory default is set to GMT. date – Set the date. Date is entered as MM/DD/YYYY. serial - Display M87x serial number exit - Exit command line mode and return to logging mode. If no commands are received for five minutes the device will revert to logging mode.
3.1.1.2 Standard Serial Ports (P2, P3, P4)
These ports can be set to RS-232 or RS-485, a nd support baud rates up to 115200. Set-up of the Serial Ports can be accomplished by using the 70 Series Configurator. The default configuration for the serial ports is: Serial Port Default Settings Port Protocol Parity Baud IED Address Physical Media P1 Zmodem/Display/Log None 9600 RS-232 P2 DNP 3.0 None 9600 1 RS-232 P3 Modbus Even 9600 1 RS-232 P4 Zmodem/Display/Log None 9600 RS-232 The configuration of these ports is stored internally in the " COMM.INI" file (Section 5.2). If, for any reason, the configurati on of the serial ports is erro neously set, the factory default settings can be restored by using FTP. The file " COMM.INI" can be deleted, which will return all ports to the factory default setting. The settings can then be changed by using the 70 Series Configurator. Host cable requirements for CE com pliance: On ports P2, P3, and P4, as well as a por t that utilizes the externally mounted M87x Modulated IRIG-B Converter, install snap-on ferrite (Fair-Rite #0461164181 or equivalent) onto each cable by wrapping the cable through the ferrite opening two times before snapping the ferrite closed. Ti e RS-485 cable shields (pin 5) to earth ground at one point in system. The recommended torque rating for the terminal block wire fasteners on ports P2-P4 is 2.2 In-Lbs, 0.25 N-m.
3.1.1.3 Diagnostic Status LED’s (S1, S2, S3, S4)
There are four LED’s on the front panel: S1, S2, S3, and S4. They perform the following functions: LED Description S1 On while flash memory is being written to, otherwise off. S2 Flashes every 5 power-line cycles, indicates DSP operating properly. S3 On while CPU is busy. Intensity indicates CPU utilization level. S4 On during internal self-diagnostics after boot-up.
3.1.1.4 RS485 Connections
Note that various protocols and services have different port connection requirements. When making connections to serial ports for Modbus or DNP3 over RS485, 2-wire half duplex is required. This is because it is necessar y to maintain a minimum time period (3 1/3 characters) from the time the transmitter shuts off to the next message on the bus in order to guarantee reliable communications. However, when using Zmodem or connecting to the remote display, asynchronous 2 way communications are required, and therefore a 4-wire full duplex (technically RS422) connection is ne eded. See figures 5, 6 and 8 for RS485 cable wiring and signal assignment diagrams showing both 2 and 4 wire. There are special considerations for multi- drop Zmodem connections. Zmodem protocol was developed for RS232 point-to-point connec tions so it does not support any standard convention for addressing. Ther efore, it does not facilitat e multi-drop communications buses. In order to make it possible to use one modem to establish remote communications with multiple 70 Series devices when the Ethernet option (preferred) is not fitted, the following proprietary convention is employed. When using HyperTerminal or a dial-up modem with RS485, the port on the IED must be configured for "Zmodem" protocol, not for "Zmodem/Display/Log". This is done with the pull- down menu in the Configurator program, see illustration below. Selecting Zmodem also enables an address to be set for the sele cted COM port. When daisy-chaining multiple devices on RS485, each device must have a unique address. Type the command "connect 01" (use the actual address assigned) to establish communications with the device in Zmodem protocol using RS485. This command will not be echoed back as you type it. After striking the enter key, the device will return a command prompt (for example c:\\>, e:\\data>, c:\\config>, etc.) Once communications are established, you can now use the command-line interface, exactly as you would with a direct RS232 connection, to control the device (services supported by Zmodem protocol include: download recording files, control digital outputs, reset dema nds, set time and date, etc.). In order to disconnect from one device and connect to another on the same bus, type the command "exit" to end the session then type “connect 02” (or whatever address you want to connect to).

3.2 A10 Analogue-Digital Signal Processor Board
alogue/DSP board is part of the modul ar M87x system. This board contains amplifiers, track and hold circuits, multiplexe rs, an analogue to digital converter, a digital signal processor (DSP), and a PCI bridge. Analogue signals from the CT/VT board are routed through the backplane to the Analogue/DSP board. Once on the board each signal is connected to the track and hold circuitry. The track and hold circuitry is designed to hold the channel’s present value during the time required for the analogue to digital converter to sample all of the channels. This effectively a llows the M87x to simultaneously sample all of its input channels, eliminati ng any channel-to-channel skew. A single 16-bit analogue to digital converter is used for all measurements. The DSP uses the samples to calculate all of the measured parameters. Each sample is corrected for offset and gain using factory calibration values stored in non-volatile memory on the board. Additionally, a continuous DC removal is performed on all inputs, except t he AUX Voltages. An adaptive sampling system is used to maintain 128 samples per cycle over the input frequency range of 15 to 70 Hz.
3.2.1 Calibration
e re-calibration is not recommended or required. A field calibration check every few years is a good assurance of proper operation.
3.2.2 Instantaneous Measurement Principles
7x measures all signals at 128 sample s/cycle, accommodating fundamental signal frequencies from 15 to 70 Hz. Samples of all bus signals are taken at the same instant in time, using a 16-Bit A/D converter, effectively creating 128 "snapshots" of the system voltage and current per cycle.
3.2.2.1 Sampling Rate and System Frequency
The sampling rate is synchronized to the frequency of any of the bus voltage or current inputs, prioritized as follows: V1 A-N, V1B-N, V1C-N, V2A-N, V2B-N, V2C-N, IA, IB, IC. This is the frequency reported as the "System Frequency". The AUX voltage inputs and Neutrals are not used to synchronize the sampling. The sampling rate is the same for all channels. The default system frequency may be set in the Co nfigurator to either 50 or 60 Hz. This will have no effect on the frequency that is report ed, or the sample rate when signals are present. It is used to set the default sample rate when the unit cannot detect any applied signal.
- MEASUREMENTS Basic measurement quantities are calculated and updated every 1/4 cycle. These quantities include RMS Amperes and RMS Volts. Watts, VARs, VAs, Power Factor, all harmonic- based measurements (such as fundamental-only quantities), Energy, Frequency, and Phase Angle are updated every cycle. NOTE: For all of the following measurements, it is important to keep in mind that the specific protocol used to access the data may affect the data that is available, or the format of that data. No attempt is made here to describe the method of accessing measurements - always check the appropriate protocol manual for details.
4.1 Current (1/4-Cycle Update)
The current signals are transformer coupled, pr oviding a true differential current signal. Additionally, a continuous DC removal is perfo rmed on all current inputs. Instrument transformer ratios can be entered for each cu rrent input, as described in the Signal Input Module section (Section 7). This can be acco mplished via a network and protocol (refer to the specific protocol manual for details) or by using the 70 Series Configurator. When used on 2-element systems, if there ar e only 2 currents available to measure, a "0" can be written to the CT Ratio for the missing phase current. This will cause the M87x to fabricate the missing phase current from the sum of the other 2 phase currents. This feature is not recommended for WYE connected systems. The average of the 3 current phases ((Ia + Ib + Ic)/3) is also available. The Average 3-phase Amps for bus 1 and bus 2 (M872) are calculated and made available on a per cycle basis.
4.1.1 Neutral and Residual Current (1/4-Cycle Update)
nal Input Modules have a separate input for neutral current. This channel is measured just like any of the ot her current channels, and the result presented as Neutral Current. Additionally, all M87x units calculate the vector sum of the three phase currents, which is known as the Residual Current. The Residual Current is equivalent to routing the common current return wire through the neutral current input on systems without separate current returns for each phase, with the ex ception that individual Harmonics are not measured on Residual Current. On systems without a Neutral CT, the Residu al Current measurement can be used as a substitute for Neutral Current. This allows the Neutral Current input on the M871 to be used to measure any extra currents in the system.
4.2 Voltage Channels (1/4-Cycle Update)
M87x uses a unique voltage connection method, which is combined with simultaneous sampling to provide an extremely flexible voltage measurement system. All voltage inputs are measured relative to a common reference level (essentially panel ground). See Figure 12 and Section 7 for input connection information. Because all phase signals are sampled simultaneously (including currents), these signals can be easily combined to form true Phase-to-Phase and Phase-to-Neutral differential measurements with extremely low amplitude and phase errors. It also allows ac curate calculation of Bus-to-Bus differential voltages and angles. Each sample is correcte d for offset and gain using factory calibration values stored in non-volatile memory on the board. Additionally, a continuous DC removal is performed on all inputs, except the AUX Voltages. The M87x calculates voltages in PRIMARY unit s, based on the VT Ratios entered. There are separate VT Ratios for each input. Ratios can be entered via a network and protocol (refer to the specific protocol manual for details) or by running the M87x Configurator. The advantages of this method of voltage measurement are apparent when the M87x is used on the common 2, 2-1/2, and 3 element sy stems (refer to Section 4.4). The M87x is always calculating Line-to-Neutral, Line-to -Line, and Bus-to-Bus voltages with equal accuracy. On 2 element connections, any phase can serve as the reference phase. Further, the M87x can accommodate WYE connections on one Bus, and DELTA connections on the other Bus.
-1/2 element systems, one of the phase-t o-neutral voltages is missing, and the M87x must create it from the vector sum of the other two phase-to-neutral voltages. In order to configure the M87x for 2-1/2 element mode an d which phase voltage is missing, a "0" is written to the phase-to-neutral VT Ratio for the missing phase voltage. The AUX Voltage input measurements (M871 only) are similar to the phase voltages except they do not have continuous DC removal. Both input-to-ground and input-to-input differential voltages are measured. Because they do not have continuous DC removal, they can be used to measure either AC or DC signals, making these measurements useful for Substation battery monitoring, generator field voltages, local bus voltage measurements, etc. The average of the 3 voltage phases ((Va + Vb + Vc)/3) is also available. The Average 3- phase Volts for bus 1 and bus 2 are calculated and made available on a per cycle basis.
4.3 Power Factor (1-Cycle Update)
r-phase Power Factor measurement is ca lculated using the "Power Triangle,” or the per-phase WATTS divided by the per-phase VAs. The Total PF is similar, but uses the Total WATTS and Total VAs instead. The sign conventio n for Power Factor is shown in Figure 9 Note that the Total PF calculation depends on the Total VA calculation type chosen (Section 4.4).
4.4 Watts / Volt-Amperes (VAs) / VARs (1-Cycle Update)
ny power connection type (2, 2-1/2, and 3 element), the M87x calculates per-element Watts by multiplying the voltage and current samples of that element together. This represents the dot product of the voltage and cu rrent vectors, or the true Watts. The per- element VAs are calculated from the product of the per-element Volts and Amps. The per- element VARs are calculated from fundamental VARs. In any connection type, the Total Watts and To tal VARs is the arithmetic sum of the per- element Watts and VARs. The sign conventions are shown in Figure 9. When used on 2-element systems, the reference phase voltage (typically phase B) input, is connected to the Neutral voltage input, and effe ctively causes one of the elements to be zero. See Figure 11 and Section 7 for input connection information. It is not required to use any particular voltage phase as the reference on 2-element systems. When used on 2-element systems the per- element Watts, VARs, and VAs have no direct physical meaning, as they would on 2-1/2 and 3 element systems where they represent the per- phase Watts, VARs, and VAs. When used on 2-1/2 element syst ems, one of the phase-to-neutral voltages is fabricated, as described in Section 4.2. In all other respec ts, the 2-1/2 element connection is identical to the 3 element connection. The M87x may be configured to calculate Total VAs in one of several different ways. The calculation method may be selected either by sending a command to the M87x via a network and protocol (refer to the specific protocol manual for details) or by using the 70 Series Configurator. The three methods, Arithmetic, Geometric, and Equivalent (both for WYE and DELTA), all yield the same results when us ed on balanced systems with no harmonics present. The differences are illustrated below:
4.4.1 Geometric VA Calculations
TOTAL TOTAL TOTALGEOMETRIC VA Watts VARs This is the traditional definition of Total VAs for WYE or DELTA systems, and is the default method for Total VAs calculation. The value of Total VAs calculated using this method does not change on systems with amplitude imbalance, relative to a balanced system. There is also a relationship to the Total Powe r Factor which is described in Section 4.3. Total Power Factor calculations using the Geometric VA method will still indicate a "1" on a system with phase amplitude imbalance, or cancelling leading and lagging loads. For example, on a system with a lagging load on one phase and an equal leading load on another phase, the Geometric VA result will be reduced relative to a balanced system but the Total Power Factor will still be "1".
4.4.2 Arithmetic VA Calculations
The Arithmetic VA calculation is not applicable to DELTA connected systems. The value of Total VAs calculated using this method also does not change on systems with amplitude imbalance, relative to a balanced system. The value of Arithmetic VAs will not change on a system with cancelling leading and lagging loads. There is also a relationship to the Total Power Factor, which is described in Section 4.3. Total Power Factor calculations using the Ar ithmetic VA method will still indicate a "1" on a system with phase amplitude imbalance, but not with cancelling leading and lagging loads. For example, on a system with a lagging load on one phase and an equal leading load on another phase, the value of the Arithmetic VAs will not change relative to a balanced system, but the Total Power Factor will be less than "1". The Total Power Factor calculated with Arithmetic VAs will "see" the reactive elements in this system, while the Total Power Factor calculated with Geometric VAs will not.
4.4.3 Equivalent VA Calculations
TOTAL A N B N C N A B C AB BC CA A B C TOTAL EQUIVALENT WYE VA V V V I I I V V V IIIEQUIVALENT DELTA VA The Equivalent VA calculation has not been as commonly used as other approaches, but has been discussed extensively in technical pa pers. It is also referred to as "System Apparent Power". This approach to the VA calculation may yield results which are surprising to those used to more traditional methods. A system with amplitude imbalance will yield a greater value of Equivalent VAs than a balanced system. There is also a relationship to the Total Power Factor, which is described in Section 4.3. Essentially, Total Power Factor calculations using the Equivalent VA method will not indicate a "1" on any system unless the loads are purely resistive, and the amplitudes are balanced. Further, the Equivalent VA method may yield bet ter results in the presence of harmonics, where Total Power Factor will also be reduced from "1". Refer to industry standards for more information.
4.5 Energy (1-Cycle Update)
re maintained for both positive and negative Watt-hours, positive and negative VAR-hours, and VA-hours, (for each feed er in the M872). These energy quantities are calculated every cycle from the Total Wa tts, Total VARs, and Total VAs, and the values are stored into non-volatile memory every 15 seconds. Energy values may be reset. All values are reset simultaneously. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for details.
4.6 Frequency (1-Cycle Update)
uency is calculated every cycle for every input but the Auxiliary Voltages. The M87x monitors the change in Phase Angle per unit time using the Phase Angle measurement for the fundamental generated by the FFT. The System Frequency is the frequency of the input used for synchronizing the sampling rate (Section 3.2.2.1).

4.7 Demand Measurements (1-Second Update)
nal thermal demand meter displays a value that represents the logarithmic response of a heating element in the instrument driven by the applied signal. The most positive value since the last instrument reset is known as the maximum demand (or peak demand) and the lowest value since the last instrument reset is known as the minimum demand. Since thermal demand is a heating and cooling phenomenon, the demand value has a response time T, defined as the time for the demand function to change 90% of the difference between the applied signal and the initial demand value. For utility applications, the traditional value of T is 15 minutes, al though the M87x can accommodate other demand intervals (Section 4.7.7). The M87x generates a demand value using modern microprocessor technology in place of heating and cooling circuits, it is therefore much more accurate and repeatable over a wide range of input values. In operation, the M 87x continuously samples the basic measured quantities, and digitally integrates the samples with a time constant T to obtain the demand value. The calculated demand value is continuously checked against the previous maximum and minimum demand values. This process cont inues indefinitely, until the demand is reset or until the meter is reset (or power removed and reapplied). The demand reset and power-up algorithms are different for each measurement. These routines are further described in following paragraphs. The maximum and minimum demand values are stored in non-volatile memory on the Host Processor module. NOTE: Changing VT or CT ratios does NOT reset demand measurements to zero. Demand Quantity Phase Reference Function Amperes (1 & 2) Phase, Neutral, Residual Present, Max Fundamental Amperes Phase, Neutral, Residual Present, Max Volts (Bus 1 & 2) Phase - Neutral, Phase - Phase Present, Max, Min Total Watts (1 & 2) Present, Max, Min Total VARs (1 & 2) Present, Max, Min Total VAs (1 & 2) Present, Max, Min THD Volts (Bus 1 & 2) Phase - Neutral, Phase - Phase Present, Max TDD Amperes (1 & 2) Phase, Neutral, Residual Present, Max
4.7.1 Ampere and Fundamental Ampere Demand
ere Demands are calculated vi a the instantaneous measurement data used to calculate the per-phase Amperes. Upon power-up, all Present Ampere Demands are reset to zero. Maximum Ampere Demands are initialized to the maximum values recalled from non-volatile memory. Upon Ampere Demand Reset, all per-phase Present and Maximum Ampere Demands are set to zero. When Ampere Demands are reset, Fundamental Current Demands are also reset.
4.7.2 Volt Demand
nds are calculated via the instantaneous measurement data used to calculate the per-phase Volts. Upon power-up all Present Volt Demands are reset to zero. The Maximum Volt Demands and Minimum Volt Demands are initialized to the minimum and maximum values recalled from non-volatile memo ry. In order to prevent the recording of false minimums a new Minimum Volt Demand w ill not be stored unless two criteria are met. First, the instantaneous voltage for that par ticular phase must be greater than 20V rms (secondary). Second, the Present Demand for that particular phase must have dipped (Present Demand value must be less than prev ious Present Demand value). Upon Voltage Demand Reset, all per-phase Maximum Voltage Demands are set to zero. Minimum Voltage Demands are set to full-scale.
4.7.3 Power Demands (Total Watts, VARs, and VAs)
al Watt, VAR, and VA Demands are calculated via the instantaneous measurement data. The Total VA Demand calc ulation type is based on the instantaneous Total VA calculation type (Section 4.4) Upon power-up, all Present To tal Watt, VAR, and VA Demands are reset to the average of the stored Maximum and Minimum values. The Maximum and Minimum Demands are initialized to the minimum and maximum values recalled from non-volatile memory. Upon a demand reset, the Maximum and Minimum Demands are set equal to the Present Total Watt, VAR, and VA Demand values. A demand re set does not change the value of the Present Total Watt, VAR, and VA Demands.
4.7.4 Voltage THD Demand
age THD Demands are calculated via the instantaneous measurement data used to calculate the per-phase and phase-to-phase Voltage THDs (Section 4.8.1). Voltage THDs are calculated for both Bus 1 and Bus 2. By applying a thermal demand to the THD measurement, the M87x provides a more effect ive method of determining the severity of a harmonic problem. Upon power-up, all Present Voltage THD Demands are reset to zero. Maximum Voltage THD Demands are initialized to the maximum va lues recalled from non-volatile memory. Upon Harmonic Demand Reset, all per-phase Present and Maximum Voltage THD demands are set to zero.
4.7.5 Current TDD Demand
rrent TDD Demands are calculated via the instantaneous measurement data. By applying a thermal demand to the TDD measurement, the M87x provides a more effective method of determining the severity of a harmonic problem. Upon power-up, all Present Current TDD Demands are reset to zero. Maximum Current TDD Demands are initialized to the maximum va lues recalled from non-volatile memory. Upon Harmonic Demand Reset, all per-phase Present and Maximum Current TDD demands are set to zero.
4.7.6 Demand Resets
demand values are reset in four groups: current, voltage, power, and harmonics. This can be accomplished via a network and protocol (refer to the specific protocol manual for details).
4.7.7 Demand Interval
87x uses 15 minutes as the default demand interval, however it can be changed. Four separate, independent demand intervals may be set for current, voltage, power, and harmonics. The range of demand intervals is 5 to 3600 seconds (1hr). This can be accomplished via a network and protocol (refer to the specific protocol manual for details) or by using the 70 Series Configurator. While t he Demand Interval is stored internally as a 32- bit number, some protocols may place further restrictions on the Demand Interval due to limitations on numerical format. Please refer to the appropriate protocol manual for details.
4.8 Harmonic Measurements (1-Cycle Update)
struments continually sample all inpu ts at 128 samples per cycle, and compute a 128-point Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) every cycle for each input. When combined with high dynamic-range input of up to 140A PEAK and 600V PEAK, this allows the M87x to make extremely accurate measurements of harmonics, regardless of crest factor. All harmonic and harmonic-based values are calculated every cycle. Both magnitude and phase of each harmonic are provided. In the following sections, Harmonic 0 indicates DC, Harmonic 1 indicates the fundamental, and Harmonic N is the nth multiple of the fundamental.
4.8.1 Voltage Distortion (THD) (1-Cycle Update)
% 100% h h V THD V Voltage Harmoni c Distortion is measured by phase in several different ways. The equation for Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is given in Equation 1. For Odd Harmonic Distortion, the summation only uses harmonics where h is odd. For Even Harmonic Distortion, the summation only uses harmonics where h is even. Note the denominator is the fundamental magnitude. For Individual Harmonic Distortion there is no summation, only one component is used in the numerator. EQUATION 1 – VOLTAGE THD
4.8.2 Current Distortion (THD and TDD) (1-Cycle Update)
% 100% h h I THD I Alternatively, Cu rrent Harmonic Distortion can be measured as Demand Distortion, as defined by IEEE-519/519A. Demand Dist ortion differs from traditional Harmonic Distortion in that the denominator of the distortion equation is a fixed value. This fixed denominator value is defined as the average monthly peak demand. 100% h h L I TDD I Cu rrent Harmonic Distortion is measured by phase in several different ways. The first method is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The equation for THD is given in Equation 2. For Odd Harmonic Distortion, the summation only uses harmonics where h is odd. For Even Harmonic Distortion, the summation only uses harmonics where h is even. Note the denominator is the fundamental magnitude. EQUATION 2 – CURRENT THD EQUATION 3 – CURRENT TDD By creating a measurement that is based on a fixed value, TDD is a "better" measure of distortion problems. Traditional THD is determined on the ratio of harmonics to the fundamental. While this is acceptable for voltage measurements, where the fundamental only varies slightly, it is ineffective for cu rrent measurements since the fundamental varies over a wide range. Using traditional THD, 30% THD may mean a 1 Amp load with 30% Distortion, or a 100 Amp load with 30% Distortion. By using TDD, these same two loads would exhibit 0.3% TDD for the 1 Amp load and 30% TDD for the 100 Amp load (if the Denominator was set at 100 Amps). In the M87x, Current Demand Distortion is implemented using Equation 3. The TDD equation is similar to Harmonic Distortion (Equation 2), except that the denominator in th e equation is a user-defined number. This number, I L, is meant to represent the average lo ad on the system. The denominator I L is different for each phase and neutral, and is se t by changing the four denominator values within the M87x. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for specific information. Note that in Equation 3, if I L equals the fundamental, this Equation becomes Equation 2 - Harmonic Distortion. In the instrument this can be achieved by setting the denominator to zero amps, in which case the instrument will substitute the fundamental, and calculate Current THD. For Odd Harmonic Distortion, the summation only uses harmonics where h is odd. For Even Harmonic Distortion, the summat ion only uses harmonics where h is even. For Individual Harmonic Distortions there is no summation, only one component is used in the numerator. Note that there is a separate, writeable denom inator for each current input channel. The TDD Denominator Registers are set by the factory to 5 Amps (primary), which is the nominal full load of the CT input with a 1:1 CT. These writeable denominators can be used in conjunction with the distortion measurements to obtain the magnitudes of harmonics, in other words, convert from percent to amps. Th is is simply done by multiplying the percent TDD by the TDD Denominator for that phas e, and the result will be the actual RMS magnitude of the selected harmonic(s). This technique can also be used if the THD mode (denominator set to zero) is used, by multiplying the percent THD by the Fundamental Amps for that phase.
4.8.3 Fundamental Current (1-Cycle Update)
amental Amps are the nominal component (50/60 Hz) of the waveform. The M87x measures the magnitude of the fundamental amps for each phase and neutral. These measurements can be used in conjunction with the distortion measurements to obtain the magnitudes of harmonics, in other words, convert from percent to amps. As was mentioned previously, this is simply done by multiplying the percent THD by the Fundamental Amps for that phase (which is the denominator), and the result will be the actual RMS magnitude of the selected harmonic.
4.8.4 Fundamental Neutral Current (M871 Only) (1-Cycle Update)
1 measures the magnitude of the Fundamental Neutral Current, which is typically the magnitude of the nominal component (50/60 Hz) of neutral current. The measurement is in Amperes, and it is a measure of the load imbalance in a three-phase system.
4.8.5 Fundamental Voltage (1-Cycle Update)
amental Volts are the nominal component (50/60 Hz) of the waveform. The M87x measures the magnitude of the fundamental phase-to-neutral and phase-to-phase volts. These measurements can be used in conjunction with the distortion measurements to obtain the magnitudes of harmonics, in ot her words, convert from percent to volts. This is simply done by multiplying the percent THD by the Fundamental Volts fo r that phase (which is the denominator), and the result will be the actual RMS magnitude of the selected harmonic. Fundamental Volts and Amps can be used in conjunction to obtain Fundamental VAs, and when used with Displacement Power Factor can yield Fundamental Watts and Fundamental VARs.
4.8.6 Fundamental Watts / Volt-Amperes
(VAs) / VARs (1-Cycle Update) Fundamental Watt, VAR, and VA Demands are ca lculated analogous to the True Watts / Volt-Amperes (VAs) / VARs of Section 4.4, but contain only information about the fundamental. The Fundamental Total VA calculation type is the same as the True Total VA calculation type (Section 4.4).
4.8.7 K-Factor (1-Cycle Update)
100% h h h h Ih K F a c t o r I K-Fa ctor is a measure of the heating effects on transformers, and it is def ined in ANSI/IEEE C57.110- 1986. Equation 4 is used by the M87x to determine K- Factor, where "h" is the harmonic number and "I h" is the magnitude of the h th harmonic. K-Factor is measured on each of the three phases of amps, however there is no "Total" K-Factor. K-Factor, like THD and PF, does not indicate the actual load on a device, since all three of these measurements are ratios. Given the same harmonic ratio, the calculated K-Factor for a lightly loaded transformer will be the same as the calculated K-Factor for a heavily loaded transformer, although the actual heating on the transformer will be significantly different. EQUATION 4 – K-FACTOR
4.8.8 Displacement Power Factor (1-Cycle Update)
cement Power Factor is defined as the cosine of the angle (phi) between the Fundamental Voltage Vector and the Fundamental Current Vector. The sign convention for Displacement Power Factor is the same as for Power Factor, shown in Figure 9. The Total Displacement Power Factor meas urement is calculated using the "Power Triangle,” or the three-phase Fundamental WATTS divided by the three-phase Fundamental VAs. The per-phase Fundamental VA measurement is calculated from the product of the per-phase Fundamental Amp and Fundamental Volts values. The three-phase Fundamental VA measurement is the sum of the per-phase Fundamental VA values (Arithmetic VAs).
4.8.9 Phase Angle (1-Cycle Update)
ase Angle is calculated for the Bus 1 to Bus 2 per-phase Fundamental Voltages and Fundamental Voltage to Fundamental Current. It is the Bus 1 Fundamental Voltage angle minus either the Bus 1 Fundamental Current or Bus 2 Fundamental Voltage angle for a given phase. Values are from -180 to +180 Degrees.
4.8.10 Resistance, Reactance, Impedance (1-Cycle Update)
se measurements are calculated for each phase from the fundamental values of voltage and current. The Impedance value, combined with the voltage-to-current phase angle, gives the polar form of the impedance. The Resistance and Reactance represent the rectangular form of the Impedance.
4.8.11 Slip Frequency (1-Cycle Update)
uency is the difference in the Frequency of a phase of Bus 1 Voltage to Bus 2 Voltage. Values are + when Bus 1 Frequency is greater.
4.8.12 Individual Phase Harmonic Magnitudes and Phase Angles (1-Cycle Update)
87x measures individual Harmonic Magnitudes and Harmonic Phase Angles for all Currents, Line-to-Neutral Voltages, and Line-to-Line Voltages. The magnitudes are reported in units of Amperes or Volts, not in percen t. The Harmonic Phase Angles are in degrees, and all are referenced to the Bus 1 VA-N Voltage, which places all Harmonic Phase Angles in a common reference system. Values are from -180 to +180 Degrees.
4.9 Temperature (1-Second Update)
The M87x measures the internal temperature of the unit using a sensor located on the A10 Analog-Digital Signal processor Board. Values are reported in increments of 0.5C.
4.10 Symmetrical Components (1-Cycle Update)
For each three phase input, Voltage and Current, the M87x generates the positive- sequence, negative-sequence, and zero-sequence vectors relative to phase A. These vectors represent the symmetri cal components of their respective busses. The sequence component vectors are calculated by applying the vector operator a to the fundamental vectors of each phase according to the following set of well-known equations: Zero-sequence component (vector) 3 / )( 0 Ec Eb Ea E Positive-sequence component (vector) 3 / ) * * * ( 1Ec a a Eb a Ea E Negative-sequence component (vector) 3 / ) * * * ( 2Ec A Eb a a Ea E Where and Ea, Eb, an d Ec are the fundamental vectors of a given bus. ) 120 sin( * ) 120 cos( ja The configu ration parameter phase rotation , swaps the positive and negative sequence components to accommodate installations with "CBA" phase rotation.
4.11 Supply Voltage and Current Unbalance (1-Cycle Update)
The supply voltage unbalance is evaluated from the symmetrical components, according to EN61000-4-30:2003. In addition to the positive sequence component under unbalance conditions, there also exists at least one of the following components: negative sequence component u2 and/or zero sequence component u0. The current unbalance is calculated similarly using the current components. 2(%) 100% U Uu x U
4.12 Flicker
Flicker measurements are measured and evaluat ed according to IEC61000-4-15. Specific settings for Flicker are found in the "Power Quality" tab of the Configurator. The Nominal System Frequency should be selected appropriately for the system in the "Advanced" tab of the Configurator.
4.13 Fault Analysis
Fault location and fault type are determined using a single-ended impedance calculation that is based upon an algorithm using measured values. Following below are the required line parameters needed to be entered for fault location as well as the outputs obtained in the SOE log and for protocols. Information on triggering and recording for fault location can be found in sections 5.3.7.
4.13.1 Line Parameters
rameters for Bus 1 and Bus 2 may be entered independently in the Fault Location Line Settings area of the 70 Series Configurator (version 2.43 and later). The magnitude and phase angle of the direct line impedance, Z d (positive sequence), and the residual compensation factor, kZ0, are required, where Zd is measured in ohms and kZ0 = (Z 0 – Z d) / 3Z d. The zero sequence impedance, Z 0, is needed when doing the calculation. In addition, the user may specify the line length and their preferred units of measure, in place of per unit values (p.u.), for reporting distance in the SOE log.
4.13.2 Peak Current
n the Fault Analysis module is triggered, it will scan for the maximum fundamental current values in the 10 cycles before and 20 cycles after the trigger point. The maximums for each of Phase A, Phase B, Phase C, and Residual current are saved. The results are made available in the SOE log and protocol r egisters as noted below. Additionally, the maximum of the three phase (A, B, C) maximums is saved separately and made available via protocol.
4.13.3 Status Indication and Reset
bility of measurement points indica ting status and which ones can be reset are indicated as follows: Fault Type: One point representing the fault type is available on Mx71 (Two points on Mx72 models). The user is able to select Fault Type if it is of interest when creating a user- configurable point list. The index number will be determined by where the point falls within the point list. The Fault Type point value represents a set of packed bits. Bit0 represents A- Phase Involved, Bit1 represents B-Phase Involved, Bit2 represents Phase-C Involved. All other bits (Bit3 – Bit15) always equal Zero. In that way: (1) A-G fault is indicated by binary value of 1 (0001) (2) B-G is binary 2 (0010) (3) A-B is binary 3 (0011) (4) C-G is binary 4 (0100) (5) A-C is binary 5 (0101) (6) B-C is binary 6 (0110) (7) ABC is binary 7 (0111) Targets: Four points representing targets are available on Mx71 (Eight points on Mx72 models). The user will be able to select any of the points that are of interest when creating a user-configurable point list. Index numbers will be determined by where the points fall within the point list. Target Points: Fault Comp leted is set when the module has completed analysis. Fault Target A, Fault Target B, and Fault Target C are set when their associated phases are involved in the fault. Target points are single bit binaries. Possible values are 0 and 1.
Fault Counter: One point (Two points on Mx72 models) is available representing the number of times the fault location algorithm has been triggered. The user will be able to select Fault Count if it is of interest when creating a user-configurable point list. The index number will be determined by where the point falls within the point list. The Fault Count point may be read as a counter change object. This is int ended to facilitate notification (via event polling) that the value of the peak fault current has been freshly updated. The Fault Count Point simply increments until it rolls over; it cannot be reset. Target Resets: The above-mentioned Fault Completed point is available to permit the user to reset targets once all data associated with a fault has been read. The user will be able to select Reset Targets when creating a user-configurable point. The index number will be determined by where the point falls within the poi nt list. When the point is reset by writing a zero to it, the Fault Type point and the Fault Target A,B,C points will be automatically set to zero as well. Related points for Bus1, Mx72 model Bus2 points are similar:
4.13.4 SOELOG Output
soelog will report the fault type and fault distance. Distance will be shown as “per unit,” and in terms of the users preferred length units. For example, if the line length is defined as 100km the soelog entry might look like this: 24 30-Jul-2007 01:10:51.300206 Fault AB1 at 0.4949 of line or 49.49 km

- FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Passwords
The M87x has implemented the standard Alstom Grid password scheme. There are three different access levels: Level 0: This access level provides read-only access to all settings and data, thus preventing modification of information that affects system security. The factory default password for level 0 is “AAAA”; this is the same as entering no password. Level 1: This access level includes the read access of level 0. In addition, the user is permitted to delete recorder files, and reset energy and demand values. The factory default password for level 1 is “AAAA”; this is the same as entering no password. Level 2: This access level includes all lower leve l functionality. The user is also granted full read/write/delete access on all files in the M87x, including the configuration files. The factory default password for level 2 is “AAAA”; this is the same as entering no password. NOTE: The factory default is to allow level 2 access with no password. For the password scheme to take affect, the user must change the passwords with the 70 Series Configurator.
5.2 Configuration
Setup of the M87x is most easily performed using the 70 Series Configurator. This software runs on a PC and allows the PC to communicate to the M87x using a serial port or Ethernet connection. The M87x configuration is stored internally by means of several configuration files, located in the directory shown in the following table. Most of these are ASCII text files, and may be saved, copied, and deleted by any of the various methods of file manipulation, such as FTP, Zmodem, and the 70 Series Configurator. If using IEC61850 protocol, the configurati on of the IP and SNTP addresses will be determined based upon a selection the user makes by way of the radio button selections found on the 70 Series Configurator Identity page. The radio buttons provide the user with the flexibility to decide which software tool will control the IP and SNTP address configuration settings. Configuration setti ngs are loaded upon reboot from either the Initialization (INI) files or the Micom Configuration Language (MCL) files, depending upon the radio button selected during configuration. The IP and SNTP addresses will be loaded either from the respective address settings stored in th e INI file by the 70 Series Configurator or from the address settings stored in the MC L file by the IEC6185 0 IED Configurator. Addresses written into the MCL file will be written back into the INI file when the unit reboots. It is only possible to synchronize the addresses by reading the address information written into the MCL file back into the INI file upon reboot. (The IP and SNTP Addresses are rewritten to the INI file though the 70Series Configurator upon reboot since the IEC61850 IED Configurator does not have the ability to rewrite information once the configuration is written to the MCL file). There is a me chanism to automatically synchronize these addresses upon rebooting the M87x, so that the current IP address for the M87x will be updated on the 70 Series Configurator Identity page. For the case when the radio button is selected as “IEC61850 IED Configurator (MCL file)” the IP networking information will appear in grey indicating the IEC61850 IED Configurator is the active tool. Only the 70 Series Configurator allows the user to select whic h configurator tool loads the IP and SNTP addresses. The configuration files are stored in the M87x directory c:\\Config. The 70 Series Configurator will generate the IED Capability Desc ription (ICD) file and automatically store it on the M87x in directory c:\\Config. If using IEC6 1850 protocol 2 additional files, an MCL file and an MC2 file, will be generated by the IEC618 50 IED Configurator and will be stored on the M87x in the c:\\Config directory. The MCL files are the Micom Configuration Language files and contain the information pertaining to t he IEC61850 Configuration. The MCL file is stored as the active bank and contains the IEC61850 configuration and the MC2 file becomes the inactive bank, containing the previous IEC61850 configuration.

These files are written by the 70 Series Configurator and are not editable by the user. AFTER WRITING THE CONFIGURATION FI LES, THE M87X MUST BE RESET (REBOOTED) BEFORE THE NEW CONFIGURATION WILL TAKE EFFECT.
5.3 Triggering
Triggers can be configured in the 70 Series to initiate several different actions: Waveform Recorders Disturbance Recorders Digital Outputs Virtual Outputs SOE Entries Resetting of various measurements (Demands, Energy, etc.) Up to 120 triggers can be specified, of the following types:
5.3.1 Threshold Trigger
ment can be used to trigger a Waveform Recorder or Disturbance Recorder, or create an entry in the SOE log. Configuring mult iple triggers will cause a logical "OR" to be applied to the list of triggers. The trigger thresholds are defined by the 70 Series Configurator. The user specifies the measurement to use, the threshold value, the arithmetic function of the trigger, and the hysteresis value. If the measurement is an analogue value (such as volts or amperes), the user may choose to trigger on values greater than or less than the threshold. Additionally, the user may choose a rate-of-change trigger greater than, less than, or equal to the threshold value. Rate-of- change intervals are calculated over the interval since the measurement was last updated.
5.3.1.1 Trigger Hysteresis
Hysteresis is used to prevent chattering of contacts or unintended repeat-triggering of recorders when a measurement fluctuates near the value where the action is intended to occur. Refer to the Hysteresis column on the Recorder Triggers page of the 70 Series Configurator program (below). The hysteresis setting is used to make the trigger occur and re-initialized at different values. In the example below, since 60.3 Hz - 0.1 = 60.2 Hz, the action takes place when frequency exceeds 60.3 Hz and re-initializes below 60.2 Hz. When hysteresis is set to zero (default) the action triggers and resets at the same value. CONFIGURATION OF HYSTERESIS SETTINGS For example: Suppose an alarm contact is intended to close when the frequency exceeds 60.3 Hz. Frequency is generally regulated ve ry tightly about 60 Hz, so except for the significant transients that the setting is intended to capture, it would not be unusual for the frequency to dwell for a prolonged time near 60.3 Hz, fluctuating by only an insignificant amount but crossing the threshold many times (see illustration below, on the right half of the trace). To eliminate this chatter, the user might configure the hysteresis to be 0.1 Hz, as shown above. Then if the frequency were to rise from normal to the high frequency alarm
range as illustrated below, the contact will close exactly as it passes 60.3 and it will remain closed until the frequency decreases below 60.2, when the contact opens. The hysteresis function operates symmetrically when used with measurements that trigger below a threshold. So for Event 2 shown in the 70 Series Configurator screen above, a trigger would occur when the frequency drops below 59.7 Hz, and reset above 59.8 Hz. FIGURE 10: ILLUSTRATION OF TRIGGER AND RESET (OR OPERATE AND RELEASE) WHEN USING HYSTERESIS Hysteresis may be used to constrain chatter in any of the Actions listed on the Recorder Triggers page (i.e. recorders, contacts, GOOSE messages, SOE Log entries, etc.) It may also be combined with a setting in the “Min Duration (ms)” column to prevent triggering on short-duration transients when a trigger might only be desired in connection with steady- state events; tap-changing for voltage control for example.
5.3.2 Digital Input Trigger
rm or disturbance record or an SOE log entry can be triggered by using any of the digital inputs on the Digital Input/Output Module (Section 9). Any or all of the digital inputs can be used to trigger a record. Each input can be independently set to trigger on a state transition. Assigning the digital inputs to initiate a record MUST be performed by using the 70 Series Configurator. An event triggered from the digital inputs will be subject to the debounce time setting for the digital input. Digital input traces in the Waveform Recorder files are the instantaneous status of the inputs, and do not reflect any debounce time settings. If a long debounce time is set, it is possible to see an event on the digital input that does not cause a trigger.
5.3.3 Edge and Level Triggers
ser can select between Edge and Level Triggers. An Edge trigger exists for only an instant in time . The time before the trigger is defined the Pre-trigger period, and the time after the trigger is the Post-trigger period. A Level trigger has duration in time. The trigger is valid as long as the trigger condition is met. The time before the trigger is still defined the Pre-trigger period, but the Post-trigger period does not begin until after the trigger condition is no longer valid.
5.3.4 Manual Trigger
r to the appropriate protocol manual for information. Manual Triggers may also be activated through BiView using Telnet, Zmodem, or under Modbus or DNP3 protocols
(depending on what register set/ point list is chosen). When a manual trigger is initiated, it bypasses the standard trigger setup, and direct ly initiates the action specified by that command.
5.3.5 Logical Combinations of Triggers
ers can be logically combined in groups to perform actions. Each trigger is assigned to the same Virtual Output in the Configurator, and the type of logic function (AND or OR) is selected. That Virtual Output is then configured as a new trigger, with the appropriate action assigned. If "No Logic" is selected, then only one trigger can be assigned to a particular Virtual Output.
5.3.6 Cross Triggering Multiple 70 Series Units (Inter-triggering)
er certain circumstances, it is advantageous that a 70 Series device that captures a record, also functions in a capacity to send out a pre-determined trigger condition. That trigger condition, which is based on values measured by the instrument, can be used for the purpose of cross triggering (also referred to as inter-triggering) other 70 Series devices. Cross triggering is an essential requirement for synchronizing the equipment in a substation, where it is necessary that multiple instruments sense the occurrence of particular conditions There are a number of ways to accomplish cross triggering across 70 Series devices. The cross triggering mechanism can be accomplished by way of a physical interconnection using Digital I/O, or by way of virtual messaging, which is communicated over an Ethernet network connection. Refer to Appendix A for examples of setting up cross triggering through either Digital I/O connections, GSSE messaging [through UCA], or GOOSE messaging [through IEC61850]. A P30 or P31 module is necessary to set up cross triggering using a Digital I/O interconnection method. An Ethernet option module is necessary in order to set up either GSSE messaging [through UCA] or GOOSE messaging [through IEC61850]. Units may both send and receive cross triggers from and to multiple other units.
5.3.7 Fault Distance Triggers
stance calculations are initiated as an action from the configurable Triggers. For a chosen trigger, select the Fault Distance checkbox, and then the associated phase from the dropdown box. A simple limit trigger such as RMS Amps A 1 > 2000 can be set to calculate an A1 fault. Similarly, the Digital Inputs can be used to drive the calculations when connected to the outputs of a protection devic e. More complex conditions can be specified with the use of logic functions. For example: Here, the first three conditions are logically “anded” together to drive Virtual Output 2. VO2, in turn, is configured to initiate a fault distance calculation on B1. Line to line fault distances are calculated when more than one of the A1, B1, C1 events are triggered.
5.3.8 Periodic Triggers
ependent periodic triggers are available that can be used to initiate all of the actions listed in section 5.3 above. The timers for these triggers are configured to individually set the period and start time for each trigger on the Timers page of the 70 Series Configurator as shown below:
The period can be set in increments of minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours. Likewise, the time of day for the timer to start can be specified in increments of one minute. Note that if the number of minutes in a day is not evenly divisible by the configured period, then the start time has little impact except at boot up. For example, if the period is configured for 7hrs and the start time is 0430hrs then the first day after the device starts the timer will activate at 0430hrs, 1130hrs, 1930hrs. And then on the second day, it will activate at 0230hrs, 0930hrs, 1630hrs, 2330hrs., etc. The activation status of the timers is available as a binary point in the list of 'Measurements to Trigger On' in the Recorder Triggers page (see screen below). The point will transition from 0 to 1 at the timers scheduled activation. It will hold at 1 briefly and then return to 0. These 'Periodic Trigger' points can then be used to trigger any of the actions selected.
5.4 Recording
The M87x has five different methods of recording data. High-speed samples of the input signal are captured and stored by the two Waveform Recorders, slower-speed measurement data is stored by the two Disturbance Recorders, long-term load-profile data is stored by the Trend Recorder, and a voltage fluctuation tabl e (VFT) and a sequence of event (SOE) log can be created as well. The Waveform Recorders save the actual samples from the input channels, as well as from the Digital I/O modules. The two Disturbance Recorders log values at a user configurable rate of 1-3600 cycles. The Trend Recorder logs values at a user configurable rate of 1 minute -12 hours. The VFT file records voltage values when pre-selected thresholds are passed, and the SOE file creates a summary of events in the order they occur. The Waveform and Disturbance records and the VFT and SOE files are created based on event conditions. Unlike these other recorders, the trend recorder is not based on triggered conditions but instead runs constantly when selected to record.
5.4.1 Waveform Recorder
record can be triggered by a measurement exceeding an upper or lower threshold, by a manual protocol command, or by a digital or virtual input channel changing state. When a trigger condition is met, a reco rd is created that contains samples from the input channels. The waveform record normally contains 20 cycles of pre-trigger and 40 cycles of post-trigger information. The pre- and post- trigger times are configurable by the user. If additional triggers occur within the post-trigger period, the waveform record will be extended for the selected number of post-trigger cy cles. Optionally, the user can choose to disable re-triggering. There is a limit of 2000 cycles (approximate ly 33.3 seconds at 60Hz) for each waveform record. The M87x will continue to record waveforms until the memory allocated for the Waveform Recorder is full. Regardless of the number of records stored, if sufficient memory exists for the designated number of pre-trigge r cycles the M87x will create a new record, although it may not be full-length. When selecting the COMTRADE File Type for the Configuration settings in the Waveform Recorder, the user should be aware that certai n processing limitations may be encountered that can result in data loss for a waveform record. If the host processor encounters large amounts of data due to creating long length waveform records and is otherwise overloaded with performing other tasks, the data in the queue may be overwritten before it could be written onto the Flash drive. This is a possibility that may be encountered when attempting to handle an excessive volume of data, which may not be handled adequately by the host processor. To reduce the possibility of this occurring especially during the processing of large amounts of data, it is a good practice to tailor the selection of the COMTRADE File Type based on the desired length of the file to be recorded. As a guideline when configuring the waveform recorder, the following are useful recommendations: a Binary COMTRADE File Type used along with a lower sample rate is better for recording longer length waveform files; an ASCII COMTRADE File Type is better suited for recording short length waveform file s. Binary format will generate smaller data files then ASCII format. A higher sample rate can be more useful when recording short files. Use the lowest sample rates possible when capturing long waveform records. If the post trigger times appear to be truncated in the COMTRADE file, that would suggest that the user adjust the waveform recorder’s c onfiguration settings, accordingly. This will usually alleviate the issues associated with recording long length waveform files. The Waveform Recorders share storage spac e with the Disturbance Recorders and the Trend Recorder. The 70 Series Configurator allows the user to select the maximum available memory for each recorder function. Note that if the user wishes to change the allocation of memory among the recorders after recordings have already been made, it is necessary to first remove the existing files from memory before making any change. Waveform records are presented in industry standard (IEEE C37.111-1 999) Comtrade files which are stored as compressed .zip files. Waveform records may be retrieved and deleted from the instrument using the available communications protocols. Please refer to the
specific protocol manual or section 5.5 (Zmodem and FTP) for details. A file cannot be deleted while being read by another device. The following table shows the signals that are included in the waveform record. The user can select a sampling rate of 32, 64 or 128 samples per cycle for all signals on all Mx7x models. An additional, higher sampling rate of 256 samples per cycle is available when using the M571 or the M871 models (excludes M572 and M872). Please note, however, that selecting the 256 sample per cycle sampling rate disables all measurements associated with bus 2 voltages (Volts A2, B2, and C2) and auxiliary voltages (Volts Aux1-Gnd, Aux2-Gnd, and AuxDiff). Because the sampling rate is synchronized with the system frequency, the sample rate (in samples per second) will vary with frequency. Note that for M87x units, when a Digital Input from any module is selected, a total of 16 digital inputs will be added to the Waveform file.

The remaining two Phase-to-Neutral vo ltages then become Phase-to-Phase voltages. The reference phase does not have to be Phase B.
5.4.1.1 Default Frequency Setting for Waveform Recorder
The Nominal System Frequency should be select ed appropriately for the system in the “Instrument Transformer Ratio” page (previousl y the "Advanced" tab) of the Configurator.
Normally the unit will modify the sample rate to track the frequency of any CT or VT signal present. However, if there are no signals available for frequency tracking, the unit will default to the Nominal System Frequency setting.
5.4.1.2 Indicating Waveform Records with Digital Outputs
Any of the outputs on the Digital Input / Out put Module can be configured to indicate the status of the recorder. Recorder status incl udes: Recorder Started, Recorder Completed, Recorder Memory Low, and Recorder Active. When a waveform record is created, the assigned output relay will be energized. When an output relay is assigned to indicate the presence of a waveform record, it can no longer be controlled via protocol commands. If power is removed from the M87x, the relay will revert to the default state. Assigning the digital outputs to indicate that a waveform record has been created must be performed by using the 70 Series Configurator. See Section 9 for information concerning output "Normally Open" and "Normally Closed" settings. The indication of the status of a waveform record will persist until cleared, except for Recorder Active, which will reset when the reco rding is finished. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for instructions.
5.4.1.3 Retrieving and Deleting Waveform Recorder Files
Waveform records may be retrieved and deleted from the instrument using the available communications protocols. Please refer to the specific protocol manual or section 5.5 (Zmodem and FTP) for details. A file cannot be deleted while being read by another device.
5.4.2 Disturbance Recorders
87x includes two individually configurable Disturbance Recorders. The most common method of triggering a disturbance event is by using the 70 Series Configurator to set an upper or lower threshold on one of the measurements. A disturbance record can also be initiated by a digital input or by a protocol-specific manual command. (See protocol manual for details on available commands.) The Disturbance Recorder will archive samples of up to 64 user-selected measurements. Any measurement made by the device may be sele cted, allowing the user a great deal of flexibility in configuring the system. Additionally, the user may configure the Disturbance Recorder to calculate the min/max/avg of the selected measurements over the interval, or store only the present value at the end of the interval. The number of disturbance records that can be stored is dependent on the number of measurements to record, the measurement type, and the number of pre- and post-trigger samples selected. Please note how the convention for determining time resolution in oscillography records (WR1, WR2) in samples per cycle is not rele vant to long-time disturbance records (DR2, DR2), where RMS values are plotted using a sample rate measured in an integer number of cycles for each sample. If the number of cycles/sample is set to 1, eac h entry in the Disturbance Record will reflect data collected over one cycle. The factory default setting provides 20 samples of pre-trigger recording and 40 samples post-trigger. The pre- and post- trigger times are configurable by the user, as is the number of cycles per sample. The maximum pre-trigger time is 1800 samples, while the maximum post-trigger time is 300,000 samples. If additional triggers occur within the post-trigger period, the dist urbance record will be extended by the selected number of post-trigger samples. Optionally, the user can choose to disable re-triggering. The default cycles/sample setting is 0, which disables the recorder. The Disturbance Recorders shares storage space with the Waveform Recorder and the Trend Recorder. The 70 Series Configurator allows the user to select the maximum available memory for each recorder function, but any record files already made should be removed before reallocating the memory as mentioned above in the Waveform Recorder section. Disturbance records are presented in industry standard (IEEE C37.111-1999) Comtrade files stored as compressed .zip files. Disturbance records may be retrieved and deleted from the instrument via a network and protocol (refer to the specific protocol manual for details), or by using the Host Module serial ports and Zmodem (Section 5.5.2).
5.4.2.1 Indicating Disturbance Records with Digital Outputs
Any of the outputs on the Digital Input / Out put Module can be configured to indicate the status of the recorder. Recorder status incl udes: Recorder Started, Recorder Completed, Recorder Memory Low, and Recorder Active. When a waveform record is created, the assigned output relay will be energized. When an output relay is assigned to indicate the presence of a disturbance record, it can no longer be controlled via protocol commands. If power is removed from the M87x, the relay will revert to the default state. Assigning the digital outputs to indicate that a disturbance record has been created must be performed by using the 70 Series Configurator. See Section 9 for information concerning output "Normally Open" and "Normally Closed" settings. The indication of the status of a waveform record will persist until cleared, except for Recorder Active, which will reset when the reco rding is finished. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for instructions.
5.4.2.2 Retrieving and Deleting Disturbance Recorder Files
Disturbance records may be retrieved and deleted from the instrument using the available communications protocols. Please refer to the specific protocol manual or section 5.5 (Zmodem and FTP) for details. A file cannot be deleted while being read by another device.
5.4.3 Trend Recorder
87x stores the values of a user-config urable set of up to 230 parameters every log interval. The default setting of this interval is 0 minutes, which disables the Trend Recorder. This interval can be changed from 1 to 720 minutes (12 hrs.) in 1-minute increments. Once the log file has reached its maximum length, it will wrap around to the beginning and overwrite the oldest entries in the file. The log file is stored in non-volatile memory, allowing for retrieval of a complete log file even after power has been cycled to the instrument. The user may select between recording the instantaneous values only, or storing the minimum, maximum, and average values recorded during the previous interval. The recorded values are based on measurements that are updated every cycle. Trend Recording is always started at the closest time that is an integral multiple of the log interval. Example: If the trend interval is set to 15 minutes and the M87x system clock ti me is 9:18, the first entry will occur at 9:30. Subsequent entries will be made at 15-minute intervals. If the trend interval is changed to 5 minutes at 9:37, th e next entry will occur at 9:40. Subsequent entries will occur at 5-minute intervals. For intervals less than 60 minutes, it is recommended that the trend interval be set to a number that will evenly divide 60 minutes. If the interval is greater than 60 minutes, it should evenly divide 24 hours. Recommended intervals: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 minutes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours NOTE: If the System Clock setting (S ection 3.1.3) is to be changed backwards, it is recommended that all trend recorder files be retrieved, the time changed, and the trend recorder file be deleted. If this is not done, the file will effectively contain a section that shows time going backwards! This will cause problems with the Comtrade file format.
5.4.3.1 Retrieving Trend Records
The trend file is stored on the unit in a propr ietary data format. BiView or the Retriever program (supplied on the Utilities CD) or the Win DR Manager program is required to download & convert the raw trend file stored on the unit into an industry standard Comtrade file. When downloading the raw file, the trend f ile on the unit will automatically be deleted; however all programs will preserve a copy of the raw trend file on the PC and append the new data every time the trend file is downloaded.
5.4.4 Comtrade Format
rm and Disturbance Records are availabl e in Comtrade file format (C37.111-1999) and Trend Records can be converted into this format when retrieved using BiView, Retriever or Win DR Manager software programs. These are user-selectable binary or ASCII format files. The files are stored as compressed .zip files to increase storage and decrease user download times. These files may be retriev ed and deleted from the instrument using the available communications protocols. Please refe r to the specific protocol manual or section 5.5 (Zmodem and FTP) for details. A file cann ot be deleted while being read by another device. The Waveform Recorder file " WR1_nnnn.CFG" or "WR2_nnnn.CFG" will contain the event parameters including the names of the channels, ti me of start of file, time of trigger, and sampling frequency for each cycle. The file " WR1_nnnn.DAT” or " WR2_nnnn.DAT" contains the time of each sample and the data. The data values are integers and can be scaled back to primary units using the scale factors in the .CFG file. The file name format, "WR1_nnnn.CFG" and "WR1_nnnn.DAT,” indexes automatically from "WR1_0001.xxx" to "WR1_9999.xxx". Similarly, Waveform Recorder 2 files will be stored as "WR2_nnnn.CFG" and "WR2_nnnn.DAT". Upon power-up (or re-boot), the M87x notes t he highest index number in memory, and will increment by one for the next file. If there are no waveform records, the next one will be WR1_0001. If there is a WR1_0034 in memory upon re-boot, the next file will be WR1_0035. Note that if the stored files are deleted, but the M87x is not re-booted, it will continue to index in sequence as if the files were still there. The Disturbance Recorder stores files in the same manner as the Waveform Recorder. Files from Disturbance Recorder 1 will be saved as " DR1_nnnn.CFG" and " DR1_nnnn.DAT,” with the same indexing sequence as the waveform files. Similarly, Disturbance Recorder 2 files will be stored as "DR2_nnnn.CFG" and "DR2_nnnn.DAT". The Trending file " TR1.CFG" will contain the event parameters, including the names of the channels, time of start of file, and trend interval for each measurement. The file " TR1.DAT" contains the time of each sample and the data. The data values are integers and can be scaled back to primary units using the scale factors in the .CFG file.
5.4.4.1 Comtrade ZIP Files
The .CFG and .DAT files are combined into a single .ZIP file, which is placed in the c:\\DATA\\ or e:\\DATA directory (see section 5.5). This file may be retrieved using FTP, Zmodem, or protocol specific file transfer methods. Note that the .ZIP file may take up to 1 minute to appear in the c:\\DATA\\ directory after the records are created.
5.4.5 IEEE Long File Naming Convention
es IEDs are capable of creating re cord files that meet the IEEE C37.232-2007 standard for file names. The long filename feature is enabled and configured on the Identity Page of the 70 Series Configurator. The Identity Page is shown below with factory default values. Settings relevant to long filename configuration are highlighted in green.
When the long filename feature is enabled, the Disturbance Recorder and Waveform Recorder functions of the IED will create IEEE C37.232-2007 compatible names for all generated Comtrade files. Note, that in all cases the IED compresses and stores Comtrade files within a Zip file. Generation of Comtrade files for the Trend Recorder function is handled by the BiView software application. BiView retrieves the Trend Recorder data and the Identity configuration from the IED and then conv erts to a Comtrade file. BiView will use the long filename configuration obtained from the IED. IEEE C37.232-2007 defines the following disallowed characters: ? “ / \\< > * | : ; [ ] $ % { } (i.e., question mark, quotation mark, forward slash, backward slash, less than, greater than, asterisk, pipe, colon, semi-colon, brackets, do llar sign, percent, and braces). The 70 Series Configurator permits the use of these char acters on the Identity Page, but they will be replaced with an underscore (_) in the resulting long filename. Note, the use of periods (.) and commas (,) while permitted by IEEE C37.232-2007 and properly handled by the 70 Series Configurator, may produce unexpected results when interpreted by a third party software application. IEEE C37.232-2007 Field Source Notes Start Date Comtrade 'Start Time' from CFG file Start Time Comtrade 'Start Date' from CFG file Time Code Always zero No time zone offset Station ID Identity page 'Station Name' Limited to 32 characters Device ID Identity page 'Device Description' Limited to 32 characters Company Name Identity page 'Company Name / Owner' Limited to 32 characters User 1 Identity page 'Location' Limited to 64 characters User 2 Original Zip file name Such as DR1_0010 or WR2_0003 Extension CFG or DAT
5.4.6 Voltage Fluctuation Table (VFT) File
es IEDs are capable of creating a VFT file, which is used in conjunction with an external software package for monitoring Sags and Swells. The raw data for each voltage channel is derived from 1 cycle RMS values that are updated each quarter cycle. Each table contains one bus of voltages, phases A, B, & C For units that have two buses of volts, two separate tables will be created. This currently includes M871, M571, M872 Breaker & a Half, and M572 Breaker & a Half. Reference voltages will not be recorded in the table; therefore the M872 Dual Feeder & M572 Dual Feeder will only have 1 table. The 70 series will maintain the minimum and maximum value for each voltage channel. When the voltage for a channel crosses a user configured threshold an entry will be made in the table. The user can configure up to 30 thresholds but a minimum of 3 thresholds must be configured. The default configuration for the thresholds are: 110% of Nominal 90% of Nominal 1% of Nominal A fixed value of 1% of nominal will be used for the hysteresis. For Dips & Interruptions, the threshold is passed going down on the value the user specifies. On the way up, the threshold is passed at the value + 1% nominal. For Swells, the threshold is passed going up on the value the user specifies. On the way down, the threshold is passed at the value – 1% nominal. The Voltage Fluctuation Table consists of 2 files: VFTn.DAT VFTn.INI Where n is the number of the bus. Currently n may be 1 or 2. The DAT file is a text file with one entry per line. Each data value is separated by a semicolon. The order of the data values is: Entry Number Time Tag seconds
Time Tag milliseconds Phase Code Minimum Value Maximum Value Current value, that has passed threshold Voltage Ratio Ratio Offset An example of 1 line: The DAT file will be allowed to grow to 100K. This will result in proximally 1700 entries. Due to flash drive limitations, the M87x can only have a finite number of entries. To prevent the file from growing too large, and ensure t he newest data is always available, the M87x overwrites the oldest entry as needed. Because the DAT file will be circular it will have a virtual end of file marker, thus making it easy to see where the oldest entry is. The end of file marker will be “** End of File **” with out the quotes, and it will be on a line by itself. A new “Voltage Fluctuation Thresholds” page in the 70 Series Configurator was created that allow the user to configure the Voltage Fluctuation Table. The user has the following options for each bus. Enable/Disable the Voltage Fluctuation Table Set the nominal voltage in primary units Set the thresholds (can have 3-30 thresholds) entered in % of nominal The files for the Voltage Fluctuation Table are available to download via Ethernet or Serial ports, Internet Explorer, and HyperTerminal, Zmodem, FTP. The files are not available via Modbus File Transfer.
5.4.7 Sequence Of Events (SOE) File
ates a record, in chronological order, of all events that occur, including: Triggers Health Check status errors Change of state of status inputs and outputs Creation of files Change of configuration Setting of clock Record of Boot up The SOE.LOG file is an ASCII text format file, and typically can be up to 5000 lines.
5.5 M87x File System
Files are stored in the M87x on internal drives labelled "c:" and "d:". In addition the host module contains optional compact flash memory which is accessible as drive "e:". Both FTP and Zmodem may be used to access any drive. Trend Recorder files are stored on the d: drive on the host module. All other user ac cessible files will be stored on the c: drive unless the unit is equipped with optional compact flash memory. In this case these files are stored on the e: drive. The following directories are relevant to the user. Directory Function c:\\config Location of Configuration files c:\\upload Location of restart.now file c:\\data or e:\\data Location of recorder compressed ZIP files d:\\data Location of trend recorder files
5.5.1 FTP Server
87x incorporates an internet-compatible FTP (File Transfer Protocol) data server. This allows user access to any program or data file that exists on the M87x. It has the following primary uses: 1. Allows remote software updates to be written to the M87x. 2. Allows determination of the time of last software update. 3. Allows configuration ".INI" files to be written, copied, and deleted from the M87x. 4. Allows Comtrade files to be read and deleted from the M87x. The M87x can support up to 50 simultaneous FTP connections.
5.5.1.1 Introduction to FTP
FTP protocol is a standard component of the Internet protocol suite and is used to transfer files between computer systems. Every Wind ows/Unix/Linux operating system contains an FTP Client program that allows simple access to FTP Servers such as the M87x. FTP is accessed from the command prompt (sometimes referred to as the DOS prompt). A (simplified) sample session appears on the screen as: C:\\windows> FTP 192.168.0.254 M87x server, enter user name: anonymous Enter password: ALSTOM (Any password will work) FTP> binary Some Operating Systems default to ASCII mode for FTP. Entering "binary" ensures that the FTP connection will be in the binary mode necessary for communicating with the M87x. As shown above, the user specifies the IP address of the server, enters a username and password, and then is presented with the FTP prompt awaiting commands. The following commands are useful for communicating with the M87x.
BINARY Changes FTP to binary mode CD.. Change current directory to parent directory CD directoryname Change current directory to directyname DELETE filename.ext Delete file from Server DIR filename.ext List directory contents GET source file destination file Read file from M87x PUT source file destination file Write file to M87x QUIT Exit FTP server and return to command prompt Refer to your local operating system documentation for more details.
5.5.1.2 M87x FTP Implementation
The M87x FTP server has three privilege levels that determine the allowed FTP operations. Description Username Password Read files within the C:\\DATA directory “anonymous” or “guest” Any Read files on any drive or directory Drive\\directory Level 0 Read, Write, or Delete files on any drive or directory Drive\\directory Level 2 Access to Levels 1 and 2 require the user to enter the starting (root) directory as the "User Name". For this purpose, the drive name is treated as a directory. The entire "c" drive would be accessed by entering a User Name of "c" and the appropriate password. Access to a subdirectory, for example the c onfiguration files, is obtained by entering a User Name of "c:config" and the password. Note that the FTP protocol does not allow access above the root directory. The M87x will remotely restart if the file "c:\\ upload\\restart.now" is written. Restart begins about 12 seconds after the file has been created. It is recommended that FTP be operated in pas sive mode. The port numbers used are 20 and 21 (TCP). Please consult customer service for information on using FTP for updating the M87x firmware or BIOS.
5.5.2 Zmodem, TELNET, and Command Line Interface
ay be written, read, and deleted by use of Zmodem and the Host module front panel serial ports (Section 3.1.1). Using the 70 Series Configurator, make sure the serial port you wish to use is set to Zmodem. By default, ports P1 and P4 are set to Zmodem @ 9600 Baud (Section 3.1.1.2). Connect a terminal, or the serial port of a PC running a terminal emulator program (such as HyperTerminal TM), to the serial port of the M87x configured for Zmodem. Make sure the terminal emulator is set-up to connect directly to the serial port of the PC, and that the baud rate matches that of the M87x port.
Allowable commands are: Service Port/Zmodem Commands c: display off receive type cd exit reset trigger dr1 chp1 getlog router trigger dr2 chp2 goose send trigger wv1 d: ip serial trigger wv2 date mac setlog ver del nsap software vio point dio point password status whoami dir pulse subnet display on reboot time Note: * This command is for UCA Goose only and is now referred to as GSSE. NOTE 1: When connected to the M87x with a terminal emulator program, remember that the commands you type are operating on the M87x, not the PC. The terms "RECEIVE" and "SEND" are therefore from the perspective of the M87x. NOTE 2: The location of files to be sent to the M87x from the PC must be set in the terminal emulator program. NOTE 3: The RECEIVE command must be used before telling the terminal emulator program to transfer a file to the M87x. NOTE 4: Some terminal emulator programs cannot transfer more than one file using the "RECEIVE" command. NOTE 5: For a complete list of commands, type “help” at the command prompt. For help with a specific command, type “help” followed by the command (i.e. “help send”).
5.6 Assigning Pulse Outputs to Energy Values
Any relay on the Digital Input/Output Module (Section 9) can be setup to operate as a pulse output, and assigned to any of the four energy values of Section 4.5. Assigning the digital outputs to perform a pulse-output function MUST be done by using the M87x Configurator program. See Section 9 for information concerning output "Normally Open" and "Normally Closed" settings. Additionally, Digital Outputs assigned to operate as a pulse output can be set for Energy per Pulse (in KWh/KVARh per pulse).
5.7 IRIG-B
5.7.1 Overview
s a great need in many power measurement and power quality applications for synchronizing numerous instruments from variou s manufacturers to within fractions of a second. These applications include failure analysis, sequence of event recording, distributed fault recording, and other synchronized data anal ysis. One means of synchronizing various instruments to the same clock source is to connect them to a master time device that generates a standard time code. This scheme can be expanded upon such that two devices half a world apart could be synchronized to within fractions of a second if each is connected to an accurate local time master. There are several vendors who manufacturer these master time devices and there are many standardized time synchronization protocols. IRIG-B is one of the more commonly supported standard time code formats.
5.7.2 Introduction to IRIG Standards
IRIG (Inte Range Instrumentation Group) standards consist of a family of serial pulse time clock standards. These standards were initially developed for use by the U.S. Government for ballistic missile testing. There are several Time Code Formats within the family such as A, B, E, G, and H. Each Time Code Format has its own unique bit rate. There are sub-variations within each Time Code Format that specify the Format Designation, the Carrier/Resolution, and the Coded Expression formats. A ll standard IRIG serial time standards use the IRIG B000 configuration. The first letter following IRIG specifies the Time Code Format and Rate Designation. The first number following the letter specifies the Format Designation, the second number specifies the Carrier/Resolution, and the third number specifies the Coded Expressions. The M87x’s IRIG interface recognizes and deco des the following standard IRIG formats: IRIG B000, IRIG B002, and IRIG B003. Additionally, IRIG B120 and IRIG123 formats are recognized when using the M87x Modulated IRIG-B Converter, part number M870-MODIRIGBCV, connected to one of the Host module serial ports, P2, P3 or P4.
5.7.2.1 Time Code Format (Rate Generation)
There are six different IRIG Time Code Formats. The M87x supports Time Code Format B. Time Code Format B specifies a 100-bit frame and a 1 second time frame (10 milliseconds per bit). The 100 bits consist of: 1 - time reference bit, 7 - BCD bits of seconds information, 7 - BCD bits of minutes information, 6 - BCD bits of hours information, 10 - BCD bits of days information, 27 - optional control bits, 17 - straight binary bits representing seconds of day information 15 - index bits 10 - position identifier bits
5.7.2.2 Format Designation
There are two IRIG Format Designations: 0 - Pulse Width Coded 1 - Sine Wave, Amplitude Modulated. The Pulse Width Coded format is essentially the envelope of the Amplitude Modulated format. The M87x supports the Pulse Width Coded format. The M87x Modulated IRIG-B Converter, part number M870-MODIRIGBCV, is necessary when connecting an IRIG-B signal of Amplitude Modulated format to one of the serial ports, P2, P3, or P4, on the M87x.
5.7.2.3 Carrier/Resolution
There are six IRIG Carrier/Resolutions: 0 - No Carrier/Index Count Interval 1 - 100 Hz/10 ms 2 - 1 kHz/1 ms 3 - 10 kHz/0.1 ms 4 - 100 kHz/10 μs 5 - 1 MHz/1 μs Since the M87x does not support the Sine Wave Amplitude Modulated Format Designation, only the No Carrier/Index Count IRIG Carrier/Resolution is applicable, when connected to an IRIG-B master using Pulse Width Coded Format. The M87x Modulated IRIG-B Converter serves as the signal demodulator, essentially converting from sine wave modulated into pulse width coded format.
5.7.2.4 Coded Expressions
There are four IRIG Coded Expressions: 0 - BCD, CF, SBS 1 - BCD, CF 2 - BCD 3 - BCD, SBS The M87x only uses the BCD portion of the expression and as a result can accept any of the standard IRIG Coded Expressions.
5.7.3 M87x IRIG-B Implementation
87x receives the IRIG-B serial pulse code via the serial ports on the Host CPU module (Section 3.1.1). The IRIG-B signal is decoded by the Host CPU module, and the resulting IRIG time is compared to the M87x’s time. The M87x processes the time errors and corrects its local time to coincide with the IRIG time.
5.7.3.1 M87x IRIG-B Receiver
As previously mentioned, the M87x receives t he IRIG-B signal via the standard serial ports located on the Host CPU’s front panel (Section 3.1.1). Port P2, P3, or P4 can be configured to accept IRIG-B. The ports can be configured via the 70 Series Configurator software utility.
5.7.3.2 M87x IRIG-B Decoder
The M87x IRIG Decoder parses t he bit stream from the IRIG Receiver into registers that represent the number of days, minutes, and seconds since the beginning of the present year. The control bits and straight binary seconds portion of the IRIG pulse stream are ignored. The M87x transducer compares its present time to the IRIG time and stores the delta time error. These errors are calculated every IRIG frame (every second) and are accumulated into a sample buffer until the sample buffer is full. Once the buffer is full, the buffer is passed to the IRIG Time Qualifier.
5.7.3.3 M87x IRIG-B Time Qualifier
The M87x IRIG-B Time Qualifier processes the sample buffer of time errors from the IRIG-B Decoder. If the IRIG-B Time Qualifier detects several sequential time errors greater than 3 seconds, the IRIG-B Time Qua lifier forces the M87x to immediately “jam” its clock to the present IRIG-B time.
If the time errors are less than 3 seconds, the IRIG-B Time Qualifier examines all the errors in the sample buffer. The error data is subjected to various proprietary criteria to determine an accurate time offset. If the sample buffer does not meet the qualifying criteria the sample buffer is discarded and no clock correction is performed. The IRIG-B Time Qualifier continues to examine and discard sample buffers from the IRIG-B Decoder until it finds one that meets the accuracy qualifications. Once a sample buffer is qualified, the IRIG-B Time Qualifier calculates a clock correction value and slews the M87x’s clock to match the IRIG-B time. The slew time depends on the magnitude of the clock correction. The time required to slew the M87x’s clock to match the IRIG time is approximately 30 times the clock correction value. Slewing the clock ensures that time always moves forward. The clock may speed up or slow down to attain proper synchronization, but it never moves backward. This ensures that the ordering of events is always preserved while ch anging the clock. Ordering of events cannot be guaranteed when the clock is jammed. The IRIG-B Decoder does not sample the IRIG bit stream and build a sample buffer while the M87x clock is slewing. All IRIG fram es received during the M87x’s clock slew are ignored until the slew has completed.
5.7.4 Determining the Correct Year
-B standard provides days of year , minutes of day, and seconds of minute information. The IRIG standard does not provide any year information. IEEE-1344 specifies a bit pattern that is encoded into the IRIG cont rol bit steam that specifies year information. The M87x IRIG driver is capable of decoding the IEEE-1344 year information from the control bits when connected to an IEEE-1344 com patible IRIG master. If the IRIG master that is connected to the M87x is not IEEE-1344 compatible, the IEEE-1344 compatibility configuration switch in the M87x COM port c onfiguration should be turned off. This will prevent the M87x from incorrectly interpreting the control bits as year information. If the IRIG master is not IEEE-1344 compatible, the M87x assumes that the year stored in its non-volatile battery backed-up CMOS clock is correct. If the M87x battery fails or the M87x’s year is incorrectly set, the IRIG-B Driver will assume that the year is the year reported by the M87x’s CMOS clock. If the M87x is connected to an IRIG master that is not IEEE-1344 compatible and the year reported by the M87x’s CMOS clock is incorr ect, the IRIG Driver may also set the M87x’s day incorrectly (due to leap year) when it tries to synchronize the device time to the IRIG time. The time, however, will still synchronize co rrectly. As a result, if the M87x’s battery fails (or the year was not set correctly), any data time-stamped by the M87x or any waveform captures stored may have the wrong year and day but will have the correct time accurate to several microseconds. This data can still be synchronized to other events from other devices by simply adding the correct day and year offsets to the time.
5.7.5 Methods of Automatic Clock Adjustments
ated clock adjustments controlled by the IRIG interface include “jamming” the clock and “slewing” the clock. Depending on the magnitude of the M87x’s absolute clock error the clock adjustment algorithms will either jam the clock by directly writing a new value into the clock registers or slew the cloc k smoothly by adding or subtracting small adjustments to the clock registers over a period of time.
5.7.6 Types of M87x Clock Synchronization
are various degrees (or states) of time synchronization. Upon power up, the device relies on the value stored in the battery backed- up CMOS clock to set the correct time, and the crystal frequency correction constant stored in non-volatile memory to correct the crystal’s frequency. The M87x will keep time st arting from the values read from the CMOS clock. There will be an accumulated time error based upon the frequency error of the Real Time Clock crystal. The crystal frequency correction constant provides a means for correcting for this error. If the M87x was never synchronized to an external source (i.e. IRIG- B or network synchronization protocol), the M87x will not have a value for the crystal frequency correction constant and the crystal error will be the M87x’s clock error.
5.7.6.1 Frequency Adjustments and Free Wheeling
The M87x has the capability to add a correction factor to compensate for the crystal’s effective frequency error rate. This fr equency adjustment is accomplished by first determining the crystal’s error rate and then correcting the clock to reflect that error. The IRIG-B interface serves as an external accurate time source to determine the crystal’s typical error rate. The frequency error is calculated and stored in non-volatile memory on the M87x’s Host CPU board. When an M87x is connected to an IRIG-B source, it will automatically calculate and store the crystal’s error in non-volatile memory on the Host CPU board. M87x transducers utilize this constant to maintain a more accurate clock. If the IRIG-B source is removed the M87x will no longer receive time corrections from the IRIG-B source, but the device clock will keep much better time due to the frequency correction constant. This mode of operation is referred to as “Free Wheeling.” Although “Free Wheeling” with constant frequency compensation provides a more accurate M87x clock, it will still drift and is less ac curate than having a constant IRIG-B source connected to the M87x. The frequency erro r of the crystal will change with time and temperature. Having a permanent real time IR IG-B clock source allows for constant minute adjustments to the M87x clock.
5.7.6.2 Permanent IRIG-B Source Connection
Having a permanently connected IRIG-B source pr ovides the most accurate M87x clock. In addition to correcting the frequency for the crystal error, the M87x will constantly receive corrections to compensate for any drift that may still occur. This provides for a typical clock error of less than 10 microseconds.
5.7.7 Stages of IRIG-B Synchronization and Accuracy
re four basic stages of synchronization with an IRIG-B source: power-up, time lock, frequency lock, and final lock.
5.7.7.1 Power-Up Stage
Upon Power-up, the M87x obtains the time from its non-volatile battery backed-up CMOS clock. This clocks resolution is limited to se conds. Therefore, even if the clock was error free when it was turned off, the M87x could have an erro r of up to one se cond when it is powered-up. The typical crystal error rate is about 20 microseconds per second (20ppm). Therefore, if we assume that the M87x clock was keeping perfect time before it was reset (or powered down), it would typically be in error by: (20 microseconds) x (number of seconds o ff) + 0.5 seconds after power is restored. The M87x would start with this error and continue to drift by the frequency offset error. If the M87x were never connected to an IRIG-B source (or other clock synchronizing source), the drift would be equal to the crystal’s frequen cy error. If the M87x previously stored a frequency correction constant in non-volatile memory, the device will include the compensation and drift by a smaller amount equal to the true crystal frequency error minus the correction constant.
5.7.7.2 Time Lock Stage
Once the M87x begins to receive IRIG-B frames, validates a sample buffer, and calculates a clock correction value, it will enter the Time Lock Stage of synchronization. If the clock correction value exceeds 120 seconds, the clock is jammed with the present IRIG-B time. Otherwise, the M87x clock is slewed to match the IRIG-B time. The accuracy of this initial slew depends on whether a frequency co rrection constant was previously stored in non-volatile memory, and if so how accurate the constant is. The M87x will use this constant in the slew calculation to approximate the rate to change the clock to adjust to the specified IRIG-B correction error.
The M87x will remain in the Time Lock Stage for approximately five minutes plus the time required to perform the initial clock slew. The clock slew requires approximately 30 times the clock correction value. For example, if the init ial clock correction error was 1.5 seconds, the Time Lock Stage would require approximately 6 minutes (5 minutes plus 45 seconds to slew). The M87x enters the Frequency Lock Mode after completing the first IRIG-B clock correction. The M87x’s clock is typically synchronized to within 1 millisecond of the true IRIG-B time after the Time Lock Stage is completed.
5.7.7.3 Frequency Lock Stage
The M87x enters the Frequency Lock Stage of sy nchronization when it receives the third valid clock correction value from the IRIG-B interface. At this time the M87x calculates a crystal frequency correction constant based on the clock correction value. The crystal frequency correction constant is stored in non-volatile memory to provide improved clock accuracy during ”Free Wheeling” . The crystal frequency correction constant along with the clock correction value is used to slew the clock to synchronize to the IRIG-B source. The Frequency Lock Stage requires approximatel y five minutes. Once the M87x slews its clock with the correct crystal frequency correc tion constant, the M87x’s clock is typically synchronized to within 50 micros econds of the IRIG-B time source. The M87x then enters the Final Lock Stage of synchronization.
5.7.7.4 Final Lock Stage
In the Final Lock Stage of synchronization, t he M87x typically rece ives clock correction values from the IRIG-B interface every five minutes. The M87x continues to make slight adjustments to its crystal frequency correction constant to accommodate for small frequency drifts due to age and temperature. At this point, the M87x clock is typically synchronized to within less than 10 microseconds of the IRIG-B source.
5.7.8 Notes On Operation
A new crystal frequency correction constant will be written to non-volatile memory every four hours while a valid IRIG-B connection exists. 2. The battery backed-up CMOS clock will be corrected every hour while a valid IRIG-B connection exists. 3. Network Time Synchronization requests ar e refused while a valid IRIG-B connection exists.

ute Maximum Input Voltage: -25 Volts to +25 Volts Receiver Input Threshold Low: 0.8 Volts (min) Receiver Input Threshold High: 2.4 Volts (max) Receiver Input Hysteresis: 0.6 Volts (typical) Receiver Input Resistance: 5 k Ω (typical)
5.7.10 IRIG-B Port Wiring Instructions (Pulse Width Code
d, IRIG-B master, Demodulated) The IRIG-B master can be connected to Ports P2, P3, or P4 of the M87x’s Host CPU module when IRIG-B signals of format IRIG B000, IRIG B001, or IRIG B003 are used. The selected Port must be configured for IRIG-B via the 70 Series Configurator software utility. To connect the IRIG-B master to a Port (Figure 3): Connect the IRIG-B signal to terminals 2 and 4. Connect the IRIG-B signal common to terminal 6. Terminal 5 provides a connection to earth ground via a 100 Ω resistor for shielding.
5.7.11 Modulated IRIG-B
may be used with Modulated IRIG -B systems, provided that the external Modulated IRIG-B adapter is used (P/N M870-MODIRIGBCV).
5.7.12 Setup Instructions for Use of the M87x Modulated I RIG-B Converter (Sine Wave, Amplitude
Modulated, IRIG-B master) The M87x Modulated IRIG-B Converter is a de modulating adapter used with the M87x Host module for connection from an IRIG-B master that uses an amplitude-modulated sine wave, and meets one of the input formats specified below. The setup required in order to use the M87x Modulated IRIG-B Converter is described by the following information, which includes the Converter specifications: Input impedance: >10K Ω Input Format: IRIG-B120, B123 1kHz modulated sine wave, amplitude 3Vpp – 10Vpp, modulation ratio 3:1 Power: Supplied by M87x serial port Time skew: 600 μsec. Use: Plug Converter into M87x serial port (P2, P3, or P4) Fasten Converter to the M87x by tightening 2 hold down screws. The recommended torque rating is 2.2 In-Lbs, 0.25 N-m. Connect BNC to clock source. Configuration: On the serial port tab set the appropriate port to IRIG-B. On the IRIG-B tab set the Ab solute Time Offset to 620 μ sec. (This offset value includes the 600 μsec time skew attributed to the converter). The number used for the Absolute Time Offset may need to be increased, depending on time skew contributed by clock source and cable lengths. The remaining items on the IRIG-B tab can initially be left at the default values. If there are problems with acquiring synchronization with the IRIG-B source, turning on the debug messages may help in diagnosing the problem. (Refer to section 3.1.1.1; Debug messages are turned on when service port P1 is running in logging mode). Depending on the installation it may be necessary to relax some of the qualifying parameters to achieve synchronization. If necessary, first increase the Max Skew setting from 5 μsec to 8 – 10 μsec. If this does not help it may be necessary to reduce the Quality Factor from 0.7 to 0.5 or less.
5.8 Time Sync & Setting
The 70 Series IED utilizes an on-board cloc k to time stamp communications, SOE Log entries, and data samples in the Waveform, Disturbance, and Trend Recorders. A variety of external references may be used to synchroni ze the on-board clock to either local or Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) with a high degree of accuracy.
5.8.1 Time Sync Status Registers
d status registers indicate the cu rrent state for each of the various time synchronization methods used in 70 Series IEDs The following time sync registers will return stat us values of ‘0’ if a time sync master is inactive and ‘1’ if a time sync master is active: Status Registers IrigB Time Sync Network Time sync (UCA) SNTP Time Sync DNP Time Sync
The 70 Series DNP and Modbus manuals define the status register locations within Appendix B for these time sync status points.
5.8.2 Manual time setting by Command-Line instruction
command-line instruction is the manual method for setting the IED clock through service port P1. The “time” instruction in the command-line interface is used to set time for the IED’s
5.8.3 Unsolicited DNP Time set (DNP master sets the IED clock)
DNP Time set is supported by the 70 Series IE D. The IED clock simply free-wheels at its characteristic rate between DNP time updates. Each DNP set-time instruction simply "sets" the clock as it is received. Setting the clock via DNP supersedes any other time-sync method that might be in use.
5.8.4 IRIG-B Time sync (time-synchro nization via dedicated IED port)
Detailed information on IRIG-B time sync can be found starting in section 5.7. IRIG-B is expected to produce the greatest accuracy relative to other time sync methods currently supported. A status bit, named ‘IrigB Time Sync’, is set to indicate the IED is being synchronized via IRIG-B as long as the IED continues to receive valid IRIG updates. While this bit is set, time-sync signals received from (UCA) Network Time Sync, SNTP, and Requested DNP are ignored. It should be noted that the IED host is not ab le to distinguish between the Modulated and Unmodulated IRIG-B signals applied to the input port. Demodulation is accomplished by a dedicated circuit. The host processor makes no determination as to which type of external IRIG-B signal is applied. Unmodulated IRIG-B would provide a slightly more accurate time signal then Modulated IRIG-B, due to additional time latency that is introduced in the de- modulation process. 5.8.5 5.8.5 (U CA) Network Time Synchronization - time synchronization over Ethernet The M87x real-time clock may be synchronized to a UCA network time-sync master. The network time sync functions as described in IEEE TR-1550 Part 2 Appendix B and is roughly analogous to the IRIG-B described in Section 5.7, in that the M87x continually “trains” it’s internal clock to eliminate errors. An algorithm progressively adjusts the on-board clock to improve its accuracy with subsequent time updat es received from the master. This allows the M87x to “Free Wheel” accurately in the event the UCA network time-sync master is unavailable.
5.8.6 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) - time synchronization ove
Time synchronization is supported using SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol); this protocol is used to synchronize the internal real time clock in substation devices , (i.e., control systems, relays, IEDs). Up to 2 SN TP servers, using optional many-cast (or any- cast) mode of operation, are supported, along with configurable polling times. SNTP servers can be polled for configurable time, but only one at a time. The SNTP page in 70 the Series Configurator software tool allows the user the option of selecting which tool will be used to load the SNTP (and IP) settings. Radio buttons are provided for that purpose. SNTP (and IP) setti ngs can be loaded from either the 70Series Configurator (INI file) or the IEC61850 IED Configurator (MCL file). When using the 70Series Configurator, the initial default conf iguration will load SNTP settings from the 70Series Configurator (INI file). If IEC61850 prot ocol is used, it is possible for the user to change the radio button selected in order to indicate that the IEC61850 IED Configurator (MCL file) be used to load these settings instead. If the settings on the 70Series Configurator SNTP page grey out, it is an indi cation that the SNTP server addresses may have been set through the other Configurator’s software. Additionally on the SNTP page of the 70 Series Configurator software, the user may specify that an offset from the SNTP server time be applied when synchronizing. A common use for this feature is to allow the 70 Series device to operate in local time when synchronizing with an SNTP server operating in UTC time. To further support local time, the application of Daylight Savings adjustments may also be configured.
5.8.7 DNP Time sync (slave requesting DNP time be set)
uest that DNP time be set in order to have the DNP master set the DNP time.
5.9 Using the M87x with a Analogue Output Converter
The M87x may be used with any of the Bitronics AOC units (NAO8101, NAO8102, NAO8103, or NAO8104). The AOC may be connected to any of the three Host Serial Ports P2, P3, or P4 (Section 3.1.1). The serial port must be configured for the appropriate protocol and register set for the AOC that will be co nnected. Setting up the serial ports is accomplished by using the M87x Configurator . When using AOCs that communicate via Modbus (NAO8101 and NAO8103) the M87x COM port must be set for an RxD to TxD Delay of 10ms for proper operation. A separate AOC may be connected on each serial port. Serial port and connection information is shown in Figures 5 and 6. As stated previously, the AOC address must match the protocol address assigned to the M87x communications port. Protocol Baud Parity Media DNP 9600 NONE RS485 Modbus 9600 EVEN RS485
5.10 Automatic Event Notification
The 70 Series is capable of sending an Automatic Notification via email, or over a serial port. The action of automatic notification may be selected in response to any of the available triggers, similar to triggering a recording or activating an output contact. The type of notification (email or serial) is selected in the “Automatic Notification" tab of the Configurator.
5.10.1 Email Notifications
(email) server IP address must be entered. This server must exist on the local network in order for emails to be sent. Email addresses can then be entered for up to 3 users.
5.10.2 Serial Notifications
ries can be configured to send text strings out a serial port P2 or P3. These text strings can be used for various purposes, including operating a modem. This could be used to send a page to a numeric pager, for example.
5.10.3 Data Sent
ries meter will send the user-configured string out the specified COM port. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the string is properly formatted to communicate through any port switches, modem switches, and/or modems. The user is also responsible for ensuring the string specified is meaningful to the user or device that will be receiving it. If the 70 Series meter is not configured to have a COM port send notifications, then no serial notifications will be sent. If the 70 Series meter has multiple COM ports configured to send notifications, then the notifications will be sent out each port configured for notifications.
5.10.4 Error Recovery
s no provision to confirm that a message has been successfully transmitted to an end user or device. There may be a busy signal, an answering machine may take the call, or another device may be using the phone line.
5.10.5 Example
re is an example of a string that can be configured to send the numeric message 123 to a pager with the phone # 610-555-1212, and then hang up: Note that it is typically important to enter the <cr> (carriage return character) for the string to be properly recognized by the modem. Information on modem control characters is available from your modem manufacturer.
5.10.6 Control Characters
rol characters can be entered in the Conf igurator by typing “\\x” followed by the hexadecimal representation of the ASCII code fo r the desired character. For example, the control-Z character is represented by a hexadeci mal 1A; therefore, “\\x1a” should be entered into the serial data string where a control-Z is desired. If the characters “\\x” are desired to appear in the serial data string rather than a control character, then this special sequence can be escaped by entering “ \\\\x”. The characters “\\x” will app ear in the serial data string.

7.1 Introduction
The Signal Input Module provides the terminal blocks, current transformers, and voltage input dividers for the signals to be measured. Compensation for normal variations in input circuits is achieved by storing calibration constants in non-volatile memory (EEPROM), which resides on the Signal Input Board. These constants are factory-programmed to provide identical signal gain (attenuation) in each of the 14 signal input paths. Checksums are incorporated into the EEPROM, which are re ad periodically by the microcontroller to check the integrity of the calibration constants.

Recommended Torque: 10 In-Lbs, 1.13 N-m Connections (Signal Input modules) Class I equipment to IEC61140: 1997
7.4 Current Input (CT) Connections
The current input terminal block features 10-32 terminals (M871) or 8-32 screws (M872) to assure reliable connections. Current from the inputs flow through the current transformers via #12 AWG SIS, 600V wire, and crimped ring-lugs with brazed seams. This results in a robust current input with negligible burden to ensure that the user’s external CT circuit can never open-circuit, even under extreme fault conditions. The M871 has four independent current inputs, one for each phase being measured, plus neutral while the M872 has 6 independent current inputs for two sets of three-phase measurement. Current signals are connected directly to #10-32 studs (M871) or #8-32 screws (M872) on the current input terminal block on the front of the Signal Input module. See Section 7.3 for connection recommendations. It is intended that the instrument connects to the output from the secondary of permanently installed Current Transformers (CTs). Grounding of CT signals per ANSI/IEEE C57.13.3-1983 is required.
7.5 Voltage Input (VT) Connections
The voltage terminal block is removable after unscrewing the mounting screws on the ends of the block. Voltage signals are measured using a 7.5MΩ resistor divider with a continuous voltage rating of 7kV. This ideal impedance provides a low burden load for the VT circuits supplying the signals. Wiring diagrams, which represent the various measurement configurations that are applicable for the instrument, are provided in Figure 12. Grounding of VT & CT signals per ANSI/IEEE C57.13.3-1983 is recommended. The polarity of the applied signals is important to the function of the instrument. The Auxiliary Voltage Input channels (M871 only) are physically identical to the other voltage inputs on the Signal Input Module.
7.5.1 Overcurrent protection for Voltage input (VT) Connections
To maintain the safety features of this pr oduct, a 3 Ampere time delay (T) fuse must be connected in series with the ungrounded/non-earthed (hot) side of the supply input connected to the voltage measurement (VT) input of the instrument prior to installation. The fuse must carry a voltage rating appropriate for the power system on which it is to be used. A 3 Ampere slow blow UL Listed fuse in an appropriate fuse holder should be used in order o maintain any UL product approval. t
7.6 Current Measurements
The M871 has four current inputs, and the M872 has 6 current inputs, with an internal CT on each channel. These inputs can read to a maximum of 100A RMS (symmetrical), or 141APEAK, for the S10, S13 and S16 bus 2 input modules under all temperature and input frequency conditions. No range switching is used, allowing a high dynamic range. Refer to section 7.3 for the current measurement input ranges and specifications for the signal input modules that are offered.
7.6.1 Neutral Current (Residual Current) for WYE Connections
71 directly measures the neutral current from the neutral CT. Residual current is calculated from the vector sum of the 3 per-phase currents on both the M871 and the M872.
7.7 Voltage Measurements
The M87x inputs are a unique advancement in voltage measurement technique. All three phases, and the neutral, are measured relative to a common reference point (essentially panel ground). Because all signals are sampled at the same instant in time, common mode signals can be removed by subtraction of samples in the DSP, instead of the more traditional difference amplifier approach. This greatly simplifies the external analogue circuitry, increases the accuracy, and allows measurem ent of the Neutral-to-Ground voltage at the
panel. The 7kV input divider resistors are ac curate to within +/- 25ppm/DegC, and have a range of 600VPEAK, from any input to panel ground. A signal must be present on any of the phase-voltage or current inputs for the M87x to attain Frequency lock.
7.8 Changing Transformer Ratios
The M87x has the capability to store values for Current Transformer (CT) and Potential Transformer (VT) turns ratios. The VT and CT values are factory set to 1:1 CT and 1:1 VT. These values can be entered into the M87x over the network or via the Configurator software, and will be stored in internal non-volatile memory located on the Signal Input Module. All measurements are presented in pr imary units, based on these ratios. Refer to the appropriate protocol manual for information on changing transformer ratios.
7.9 User (External Transformer) Gain and Phase Correction
It is possible to correct for both gain and phase errors in external current and voltage instrument transformers connected to the M87x, when these errors are known. These Correction Factors can be entered via a protocol or by using the 70 Series Configurator Software. User Gain Correction is a multiplier (from -2 to +2) that can be used to adjust for known gain errors in the system. User Gain Correction is "1" by default. For example, a gain correction of 1.01 would increase the effective ratio by 1%. Entering a negative number will reverse the phase of an input. User Phase Correction is used to adjust for known phase errors in the system. User Phase Correction is measured in degrees from -180 to 180. The default value is "0". When a User Phase Correction is entered, it will have an effect on Watts and VARs, Fundamental Watts and VARs, PF and Displacement PF, and the phase angles reported for fundamental values. It will have no effect on the magnitudes of phase-to-phase Fundamental Volts.
7.10 Calibration
Routine re-calibration is not recommended or required. A field calibration check every few years is a good assurance of proper operation.

- ETHERNET MODULE P10, P11, P12 OR E1, E3 OPTION WITH H12 HOST
8.1 Introduction
The CompactPCITM high-speed Ethernet interface is ava ilable as an option for the M87x as either a standalone module when used with the H11, or consolidated with the H12 host module (H12E1 or H11E3). Both the standalone module and the consolidated options meet or exceeds all requirement s of ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3 (IEC 8802-3:2000) and additionally meets the requirements of the EPRI Substation LAN Utility Initiative "Statement of Work" version 0.7. The Ethernet interface is also compliant with IEC 61850 Part 3 and Part 8-1 TCP/IP T-profile for physical layer 1 (Ethernet copper interface) and physical layer 2 (for P12/H12E3 with 100 Megabit fiber). These documents define an interface designed to inter- operate with other devices with little user interaction ("Plug-and-Play"). M87x instruments with the H11 host module are offered with three versions (P1x) of the Ethernet interface board. The P10 features a 10/100 Megabit (Mb) RJ45 (copper) interface (10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX) which automatically selects the most appropriate operating conditions via auto-negotiation. The P11 has the features of P10 plus a 10 Mb fibre-optic port (10BASE-FL) operating at 820 nm (near infra-red) using ST connectors. The P12 has the features of P10, pl us a 100 Mb fibre-optic port (100BASE-FX) operating at 1300 nm (far infra-red) using ST connectors. All interfaces are capable of operating either as half-duplex (compatible with all Ethernet infrastructure) or full-duplex interfaces (which allow a potential doubling of network traffic). Note that only one port may be connected to a network at one time. With the H12 host module, the E1 consolidated option mirrors the functionality and performance of the P10, while the E3 option performs like the P12 module. The 70 Series IEDs come preconfigured for TCP/IP interface with an IP address, a SUBNET mask, and a ROUTER (GATEWAY) address. They also have a preconfigured NSAP address for an OSI network . It is very important that the network have no duplicate IP or NSAP addresses. Configuration of these addresses may be accomplished by using UCA, by using the 70 Series Configurator, or via a front panel serial port using a terminal emulator provide additional information and commands for changing these addresses. If using the IEC61850 protocol the IP address may be configured from either the 70 Series Configurator software or from the IEC61850 IED Configurator software. A user radio button selection is provided on the 70 Series Configur ator Identity page, giving a user the flexibility to decide which software tool will control the IP address configuration setting, which is loaded upon reboot. IP address configuration setti ngs will be stored in either the INI file or MCL file. The INI files are loaded by the 70 Se ries Configurator and the MCL file is loaded by the IEC61850 IED Configurator. The units are pre-configured for TCP/IP with an IP address/subnet mask/gateway address of: and for OSI with an NSAP of: 49 00 01 42 49 09 01 01 The 70 Series IEDs use the following port numbers for each type of protocol:
DNP 20000 (TCP, UDP) FTP (recommend passive mode) 20, 21 (TCP) Modbus 502 (TCP) MMS (UCA & 61850) 102 (TCP) SMTP (electronic mail) 25 (TCP) SNTP (network time synch) 123 (UDP) Telnet 23 (TCP)

8.6 Hot Swap (HS) Compatibility (P1x Modules)
The blue Hot Swap LED located on the front panel is illuminated to indicate when it is permissible to extract a board in systems that support the Full Hot Swap System Model. The M87x currently supports the Basic Hot Swap System Model. The Basic Hot Swap System Model does not illuminate the blue LED. The blue LED will turn on briefly when a card is inserted into an energized device or when the device is reset. If the blue LED remains illuminated after insertion into an M87x or remains illuminated after the S10 Host module has booted, the associated card is malfunctioning.
8.7 Hardware Configuration
Configuration of the Ethernet interface is not no rmally required. The M87x is normally able to detect and adapt to any type of equipment attac hed to it. Under very rare circumstances, the user will need to manually configure the link for P1x modules using a jumper block on the Ethernet interface board. For the vast majority of cases, the factory default jumper settings (which is equivalent to having no jumpers inst alled) will provide the best possible link speed and reliability. The factory default locations for the two jumpers are 1-2 and 5-6. Section 8.13.1 details other jumper setting suitable for special situations.
8.8 Cabling
The Ethernet interface uses a RJ-45 connector for copper interfaces and ST connectors for the optional fibre interfaces. "Straight-through" copper cables rated Category 5 (Cat5) or above up to 100 meters (328 feet) in length can be used. The cable used for the P1x MUST be 100Ω STP (shielded twisted pair) for proper EMI/RFI performance. For the E1 or E3 options UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable is satisfactory for the network connection. If a connection to a non-networked PC is desired, a "cross-over" cable can be used between the Ethernet card and the PC. Category 3 (Cat3) cable is not recommended due to the lack of upgradeability to 100 Mb Ethernet. Fibre-optic cable up to 2000 meters (6500 feet) in length (412 meters or 1350 feet for 100 Mb half-duplex) can be used. The cable should be multimode glass with a 62.5 mm core and 125 mm cladding (62/125), ST connectors for the M87x end and proper terminations for the netwo rk end (either ST or SC). M87x supports only one Ethernet connection.
8.9 Connections
Copper network connections are made by simply plugging in the two cable ends. Ensure that the network end terminates in a port that is not labelled "uplink". An optical connection is made by connecting the TX port of the Ethernet interface to the RX port of the network hub or switch. The RX port then connects to the TX port. Use of external equipment using SC connectors is possible by using properly terminated cable or adapters. A few seconds after connection, green LINK indicators at each device should illuminate to indicate a proper connection has been established.
8.10 Troubleshooting the Connection
If a link is not established, verify that t he RX and TX signals are not swapped (either by misapplying a "cross-over" cable or an "uplink" port or swapping the optical cables). If a connection is still not made, refer to Section 8.13.2 for suggestions.
8.11 Indicators
The Ethernet interface has 6 LEDs for use by users on the P1x modules, but only 2 LEDs on the E1 and E3 options. LED FUNCTION P1x E1 E3E3 LK LNK Indicates a valid Physical connection. Must be on before any communicates takes place. 100 On when operating at 100 Mb, off for 10 Mb. Valid only when LINK on. is COL Flashes when an Ethernet collision occurs. See explanation FULL FULL On when operating in full-duplex mode, off for half-duplex. TX Flashes when packet is being transmitted RX Flashes when any packet is being received (even packets not ACT ACT Flashes activity when packets are transmitted and received The collision LED, in particular, is a good indication of network health. It lights whenever the M87x and another device attempt to use the link at the same time (by definition, full duplex links cannot have collisions). Collisions are an expected part of normal half-duplex Ethernet operations and the hardware transparently retries up to 16 times to send the message. If collisions occur more often than about once per second, it indicates a very heavily loaded network which is probably delivering messages late . If a large number of collisions occur, it is suggested that either the network speed be increased to 100 Mb or the hubs replaced with Ethernet switches.
8.12 Software Configuration
The M87x is able to determine the capabilitie s of the network equipment if the equipment supports auto-negotiation. If auto-negotiation is not supported, the M87x will be able to determine the network speed through a process known as parallel detection, but it cannot determine the duplex capability. In order to allow the M87x to operate in half or full-duplex, the user must supply the choice for the cases where the mode cannot be determined. Each communication protocol will supply a method to individually set the 10 Mb and 100 Mb duplex values for these cases. Half-duplex is always the safest choice since it is compatible with all legacy equipment. Full-duplex allows a potential doubling of the network speed and an extension of the 100 Mb fibre length. Consult your network administrator before setting the duplex configuration to full since this can cause serious network problems if misapplied.
8.13 Technical Details
Alstom Grid has secured a block of Ethernet MAC addresses from the IEEE. They are of the form: 00-D0-4F-xx-xx-xx The actual unique 48-bit address is marked on the circuit board above the jumper block. The remainder of this section may be skipped by casual users and is pertinent only to P1x modules. The Ethernet board uses an AMD 79C972 ("Pcnet Fast+") media access controller (MAC) which interfaces directly to shared PCI memory on the cPCI bus. It interfaces to a National DP83843 ("PHYTER") Physical Layer Controller (PHY) via an on-board MII interface. The PHY interfaces directly to the magnetics module of the copper interface and the 100BASE-FX optical transceiver. It indirectly interfaces to the 10 Mb optics via a Micro Linear ML4669 10BASE-FL to 10BAS E-T adapter. The user jumper block conne cts to the PHYTER AN0/AN1 pins and allows all 9 combinations of these pins to be used. The Ethernet software driver allows access to a modified copy of the 16-bit PHYSTS (PHY status) within the PHY for link type determination. The Ethernet driver automatically manages link state changes. If the link is ever determined to be lost, it continuously sear ches for a new link. This search begins by resetting the PHY to allow the jumper block setting to be used. If this fails to provide a link, the PHY is
configured to auto-negotiate while advertising all co mbinations or 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, half-duplex, and full-duplex. This will attempt linkage using both auto-negotiation and parallel detection. If this fails and 10BASE-FL is supported, the PHY is reconfigured for forced 10 Mb mode to allow the 4669 to transmit an optical link idle signal (some network vendor’s equipment refuse to generate the optical link idle unless they receive a link idle). If 100BASE-FX is supported, the PHY is reconfigured for forced 100 Mb mode using the PECL signals and an unscrambled data stream. Once a link is established, the link type is tested. If the link was established through auto- negotiation, which did not provide an indication of duplex capability, it is set according to the user configuration as described in the previous section.
8.13.1 Jumper Settings (P1x)

8.13.2 Troubleshooting
D fails to illuminate, this is an indication that there is trouble with the connection and communication will not proceed without solving the problem. If a copper connection is used between the M87x and the hub/switch, check the following items: Verify that the connectors are fully engaged on each end. Verify that the cable used is a "straight- through" cable connected to a "normal" port. Alternatively, a "cross-over" cable could be connected to an "uplink" port (this could later cause confusion and is not recommended). Verify that both the M87x and hub/switch are powered. Try another cable. If a long CAT-5 cable is used, verify that is has never been kinked. Kinking can cause internal discontinuities in the cable. Try removing the jumpers (the factory default). If a fibre-optic connection is used: Verify that the hub/switch matches the Ethernet card port. A 100BASE-FX port will NEVER inter-operate with the 10BASE-FL port (fibre auto-negotiation does not exist). Try swapping the transmit and receive connector on one end. Verify that the hub/switch uses the pro per optical wavelength (10BASE-FL should be 820 nm and 100BASE-FX should be 1300 nm). No te that the Ethernet card may take up to 12 seconds before it enables the 10 BASE-FL transmitter, but it leaves the transmitter on for about 5 seconds before giving up. If a copper connection is used to an off-board fibre converter: Verify that the LINK LED on the converter is lit on at least one side. Both sides need to be lit for a valid connection to be established. At least one brand of converters will not out put an optical idle unless it receives a forced 10 Mb copper link pulse (for some re ason, auto-negotiation pulses confuse it).
Some hubs/switches will not output an optical idle unless they receive an optical idle. This then inhibits the converter from outputting a copper link pulse enabling the M87x to link. In this condition, no device completes the link. To get around this condition, some device needs to start a valid signal to "get the ball rolling". The M87x Ethernet card can be manually configured via jum pers for either "Force 10BASE-T half duplex" or "Force 10BASE-T full duplex" which guarant ees that the converter will see a valid 10 Mb copper link pulse. This then causes it to output an optical idle which the hub/switch turns around to an output optical idle which the converter then turns into a copper idle signal which then allows the Ethernet card to link and everything works. See the above section for the proper jumper settings. This method even works if a fibre-to-copper converter is also used at the hub end (i.e., using copper Ethernet interfaces on both ends with a fibre-optic cable between them). Follow the suggestions for the all copper and all fibre system troubleshooting. If both the LINK LED and the RX LED are both constantly on and the hub/switch indicates that it is not transmitting, the system is in t he "false link" state. One known cause is using a non-auto negotiating 100BASE-TX hub/switch and setting the jumpers for "force 10BASE-T" mode. Moving the jumpers back to the factory default locations will cure this problem.
8.13.3 PHYSTS Register Contents (P1x)
software driver supplies to the upper protocol layers a modified copy of the PHYSTS register of the PHY controller chip at the time a link is established. Many of the bits in the register are of no use to the M87x user. Bit 0 is the least significant bit. BIT DESCRIPTION 9 1=Auto-negotiation enabled for the M87x 1=Link partner auto-negotiable, 0=network hub/switch does not support auto- negotiation 1=Full Duplex, 0=half duplex (differs from PHYTER register definition) (reflects duplex LED) 1 1=10 Mb speed in use, 0=100 Mb speed (if 100 LED on, then this bit is zero) 0 1=Link valid (follows Link LED).
8.13.4 Statistics Gathered by Ethernet Driver
rnet driver gathers various statistics (stats) on transmit and receive activity. These can be useful to diagnose network problems or to simply determine network loading. The stats are gathered into a contiguous group of 4-byte unsigned integers. The first integer represents the number of receive stats. The se cond integer is a constant representing the number of transmit stats. This is followed by all receive stats, and then all transmit stats. This format was chosen to allow extending t he number of stats without affecting software that read old stats. For example, regardless of the number of receive stats, the first transmit stat will be offset by 2+number of receive st ats. In the "C" programming language, this means the first receive stat would be at arra y[2] and the first transmit stat would be at array[array[0]+2]. The array content is:
0 - Number of receive statistics (constant == 14) 1 - Number of transmit statistics (constant == 9) 2 0 Total received bytes (only multicast frames which pass logical address filter are counted) 3 1 Total received frames (multicast frames rejected by logical address filter are not counted) 4 2 Multicast bytes received (this is mainly OSI ES/IS Hello messages) 5 3 Multicast frames received 6 4 Broadcast bytes received (this is normally IP ARP messages) 7 5 Broadcast frames received 8 6 Broadcast frames accepted by hardware hash filter but rejected by software 9 7 Frames with CRC errors (does not included packets with non-integral number of bytes) 10 8 Frames with CRC errors and non-integral number of bytes 11 9 Frames with FIFO overflow (this are really bad errors indicating system malfunction) 12 10 Frames discarded because byte count exceeded Ethernet maximum of 1518 13 11 Frames with "BUFF" error (this is a really bad error indicating system malfunction) 14 12 Frames dropped because memory not available (this is a really bad error) 15 13 Frames dropped because infrequent interrupt response (this is a really bad error) 16 0 Total transmitted bytes 17 1 Total transmitted frames 18 2 Frames not sent on first try due to another device transmitting in half-duplex (deferred) 19 3 Frames never sent due to "excessive deferral" (this is a really bad network error) 20 4 Frames sent after one collision 21 5 Frames sent after between 1 and 16 collisions 22 6 Frames never sent due to more than 16 collisions ("excessive collisions"). 23 7 Frames only partially sent due to transmit underflow (really bad system error) 24 8 Frames with late collisions (probably due to full-duplex network and we are half-duplex)
- DIGITAL INPUT / OUTPUT MODULE P30A, P31
9.1 Introduction
The high speed Digital I/O module features 8 (P30A) or 16 (P31) inputs that are fully isolated from each other and the case. The terminals of 4 of these are shared with 4 output relays. Other than the terminals themselves, the output relay circuits are completely independent of the inputs. Because the output relay terminals are shared with inputs, they may be monitored to provide feedback verifying proper operation of output commands. Protection and control industry standard-type output relays ensure system reliability. The inputs are jumper-selectable for input le vel and threshold (thresholds of 15Vdc or 70Vdc). The outputs are jumper-selectable fo r "normal" output state (Normally Open or Normally Closed) and for relay condition (energized or de-energized). The input LED indicator is green when an input is driven high, and the output LED is amber when an output is activated (relay activated). The Digital I/O Module inputs can be read by the Host Processor Board and/or the Analogue-Digital Signal Processor Board. Input transition times are time-stamped. Outputs can be turned on or off by the Host Processor based on commands received over communication links, or by internal states generated by energy pulses, recorders, etc. The Analogue-Digital Signal Processor Board reads the state of the digital inputs every time it samples the analogue inputs, and the sample rate of the digital inputs is tied to the frequency of the analogue inputs. The Waveform and Disturbance Recorders may be configured to record the status of the digital inputs. Consult the appropriate Protocol manual for information on reading the digital inputs or setting the digital outputs.
9.2 Features

9.6 Hot Swap (HS) Compatibility
The blue Hot Swap LED located on the front panel is illuminated to indicate when it is permissible to extract a board in systems that support the Full Hot Swap System Model. The M87x currently supports the Basic Hot Swap System Model. The Basic Hot Swap System Model does not illuminate the blue LED. The blue LED will turn on briefly when a card is inserted into an energized device or when the device is reset. If the blue LED remains illuminated after insertion into an M87x or remains illuminated after the Host module has booted, the associated card is malfunctioning.
9.7 Description
9.7.1 P30A
gital I/O Module consists of two circuit boards, the CompactPCI TM Interface Board (692), and the I/O Board (693). The Interface Board contains the CompactPCI TM backplane connector and interface circuitry, front panel LEDs, and jumper blocks for output relay power-up configuration. The I/O Board contains the analogue input and isolation circuitry, output relay and drive circuitry, as well as input protection and EMI/RFI suppression.
9.7.2 P31
Digital I/O Module consists of four circuit boards, the CompactPCI TM Interface Board (692), the LED Daughter board (717), and two I/O Boards (693 supports pins 1-16, and 716 for pins 17-32). The Interface Board assembly contains the CompactPCI TM backplane connector and interface circuitry, front panel LEDs, and jumper blocks for output relay power-up configuration. The I/O Boards (693 and 716) contain the analogue input and isolation circuitry, input protection and EMI/RFI suppression, as well as output relay and drive circuitry (693 only).
9.8 System Design Considerations
9.8.1 Input / Output Impedance
All of the output relay terminal s are shared with the circuitry for a digital input. As a result, there is always an impedance across the output relay contacts, even when the relay is not energized. The value of the impedance depends on the configuration of the input, or more specifically, the setting for the input threshold. The input circuitry is shown in Figure 13. THIS PARALLEL IMPEDANCE WILL CAUSE A CURRENT TO FLOW THROUGH ANY LOADS THAT ARE CONTROLLED BY THE RELAY WHEN THE RELAY CONTACTS ARE OPEN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THIS CURRENT WHEN SELECTING THE INPUT THRESHOLD, AND WHEN DESIGNING SYSTEMS USING THE OUTPUT RELAYS. If the input is set for a low thre shold (15V), then the impedance across the relay terminals is 33kΩ. On a 125Vdc system, this equates to a maximum of 3.8mA, depending on the impedance of any loads in the loop. If the input is set for a high threshold (70V), then the impedance across the relay terminals is 153k Ω. On a 125Vdc system, this equates to a maximum of 817μA, depending on the impedance of any loads in the loop.
9.8.2 Input Assignments
the shared nature of some of the I/O circuitry, careful planning should be used in assigning the inputs and outputs of the P30A/P31 module. The user is reminded that the first four inputs on either module ar e shared with the four outputs. SERIOUS SYSTEM AND/OR PRODUCT DAMAGE COULD RESULT FROM HAVING AN OUTPUT RELAY OPERATE WHILE CONNECTED TO AN INPUT. For this reason, it is recommended that the user assign inputs 5-8 (those not shared with inputs) prior to using the first four inputs. The output relays can be completely disabled on a per-channel basis enabling the safe operation of the first four inputs if desired. See section 9.10.4.
9.9 Debounce Time Setting
The Digital Input Module can filter the inputs to compensate for “chattering” relays, etc. The debounce time may be set using the 70 Series Configurator software, via the various protocols. An input transition is not recognized until the input remains in the new state for a time longer than the debounce time. Values between 60 ns and 4 minutes are acceptable. An event triggered from the digital inputs will be subject to the debounce time setting for the digital input. Digital input traces in the Waveform and Disturbance files are the instantaneous status of the inputs, and DO NOT reflect any debounce time settings. If a long debounce time is set, it is possible to see an event on the digital input that does not cause a trigger.

umpers on either board of the Digital I/O Module, the boards must first be separated: 1. Remove the three screws as shown: M0151ENa REMOVE THESE SCREWS FIGURE 15- P30A MODULE DISASSEMBLY 2. Gently pull apart the boards by the inter- board connector near the back of the module. Reassembly is performed in the reverse order.
9.10.2 Disassembly of the P31 Module
Remove the six screws (three per side) indicated in Figure 14, and set aside the shields labelled PCB 712. Identify the main circuit boards that comprise the P31 assembly. They are labelled 693, 692, and 716. a. PCB 693 contains: Terminal block for I/O points 1-8 (pins labelled 1-16 in blue). Range jumpers for input points 1-8. Normally open/normally closed jumpers for output points 1-4. b. PCB 692 contains: Power-up condition jumpers for output points 1-4. c. PCB 716 contains: Terminal block for I/O points 9-16 (pins labelled 17-32 in red). Range jumpers for input points 9-16. NOTE: If you only need access to the jumpers for configuring the digital output relays, there is no need to remove PCB 716, and you may skip this step. Otherwise, (for access to the range jumpers for input points 9-16) remove the two screws indicated in Figure 15. Locate P8 (the 16 pin array connecting PCB 716 to PCB 692) and gently pry the pins from the header. 2. For access to the range jumpers for input points 1-8, the normally open / normally closed jumpers for output points 1-4, and the power-up (energized / de-energized) condition jumpers, locate P1 (the 36 pin array connecting PCB 693 to PCB 692) and gently pry the pins from the header.

9.10.3 CompactPCITM Interface Board (692) Jumper Settings
The CompactPCITM Interface Board (692) has jumper blocks (P7) to set the output relay power-up configuration, which is the state (c oil energized or de-energized) at which the relays go to when power is first applied to the module. The actual contact state is determined by the relay Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) jumper (Section 9.10.4). By default, no P7 jumpers are installed at the factory, which sets the output contact state to de-energized (open when configured fo r NO), which should be sufficient for most applications. If it is necessary to change the power-up configuration, jumpers may be installed on P7 as follows: Power Up Configuration Jumper Block Function Function ON Installe d OFF Open Output Relay NO (with relay set to N.O.) Output Relay NC (with relay set to N.O.)

veral jumpers for setting the input range and threshold on the I/O board and for the normal state of the output relay contacts. The board and jumper locations are shown in Figures 17 and 18. Range jumpers for Inputs 1-8 are located on PCB 693; inputs 9-16 (P31 only) are on PCB 716. The jumpers are red in colour for high visibility. Refer to the beginning of this section for the procedure to access the jumpers. When the input jumper is installed, the input is in LOW RANGE mode. Removing the jumper places the input in HIGH RANGE mode. THE FACTORY SETTING IS HIGH RANGE (JUMPER IS PLACED IN THE STORAGE POSITION). REFER TO SECTION 9.8. The relay outputs can be set for Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) operation. To enable Normally Open operation, which is the factory setting, place the jumper from "C" (common) to "NO". To enable Normally Closed operation, place the jumper from "C" to "NC". The relay outputs can be disabled if desired by placing the jumper vertically, from the "NC" to the "NO" contacts, or by removing the jumper entirely. This may be desirable if only the inputs are going to be used on these terminals, and the user wishes to guarantee the outputs do not operate (see figure 20).
9.10.5 Health Status Digital Output Setting (Optional assignment of Digital Output 1 of Module 0)
utput 1 of Module 0 may be assigned to operate when the value of the Health variable is <1. To set up Digital Output 1 in this manner, it is nec essary that the Relay Output 1 Connection Jumper be set for Normally Closed operation. Therefore, during normal operation, the unit is actively holding the contacts of the output relay open (no alarm). If an erroneous operation is detected, or there is a power supply failure, the contacts of the output relay will close (alarm). The function of this output may be assigned for Health status by using the 70 Series Configurator, along with the Normally Closed jumper connection installed for Relay output 1.
- TRANSDUCER INPUT MODULE P40
10.1 Introduction
The Transducer Input Module features 8 separate inputs each with two terminals, one which provides a unique return path for each input. This permits the inputs configured as current inputs to be series connected to multiple transducer input devices and inputs configured as voltage inputs to be parallel connected to multiple transducer input devices. The input terminal assignments are shown in figure 21. The inputs are jumper-selectable for three different transducer input formats. The inputs can be jumpered for either 0–1 mA or 4-20 mA curr ent inputs or for 0–10V voltage inputs. Both the 0-1 mA and 0 -10 V formats are bipolar (bi- directional) such that they span (-)1mA to (+)1mA and (-)10V to (+)10V respectively. Each format allows for input over-range such that inputs exceeding the normal range can still be reported accurately. The reportable range for each input type is approximately: (+/-) 2.5 mA for 0-1mA inputs; (+/-) 12.5V for the 0-10V inputs; and 0 to 25mA for 4-20mA inputs. Each transducer input can be independently conf igured for any of the three input formats. This permits one Transducer Input Module to be used to read eight analogue inputs with any mix of the three standard current and voltage fo rmats. Transducer Input Modules can only be ordered pre-configured for one standard in put type (all inputs are pre-configured at the factory for one input type), however, each input on every Transducer Input Module is calibrated to support all format types. Changing an input’s type is easy and only requires changing that input’s jumper setting. The jumper settings are documented in section 10.8.1. Each transducer input is sampled by a 24-Bit delta sigma analogue to digital converter, adjusted by a factory set pre-stored gain and offset calibration constant, and then converted to a 16-Bit integer value. The Host Processor Board updates the transducer input values in the floating point database every 500msec by re ading each input’s 16-Bit integer value and converting it to a floating point value. By default the floating point value represents the actual current (in mA) or voltage (in volts) pres ent at the input. The Host Processor can be configured (via the Mx70 Series Configurat or software) to independently scale each transducer input’s floating point value. The scaling is accomplished by assigning a floating point value to the extreme values of the transducer input’s format. Input scaling is described in detail in section 10.8.2. Consult the appropriate Protocol manual for information on reading the transducer inputs and the available calculation types.

The M87x currently supports the Basic Hot Swap System Model. The Basic Hot Swap System Model does not illuminate the blue LED. The blue LED will turn on briefly when a card is inserted into an energized device or when the device is reset. If the blue LED remains illuminated after insertion into an M87x or remains illuminated after the Host module has booted, the associated card is malfunctioning.
10.7 Description
The Transducer Input Module is a one board design that contains the CompactPCI TM backplane connector and interface circuitry, ju mper blocks for the input type selection, the input transient protection circuitry, an analog-to-digital converter, a local microcontroller and the input terminal block.
10.8 System Design Considerations
10.8.1 Input Type Jumper Settings
sducer Input Modules are ordered by specifying an input type and the module is shipped from the factory with all inputs configured for that specified transducer input type. The input type configuration is determined by jumper settings and can easily be re-configured in the field. Each input of the Transducer Input Module can be independently configured to support either the 0 to 1mA, 4 to 20mA, or 0 to 10V transducer input formats. Input # 1 Input # Input # Input # Input # Input # Input # Input # M0181ENb FIGURE 22 – P40 INPUT TYPE JUMPER LOCATIONS Each input has two configurable jumper blocks. One jumper block configures the hardware (the actual input circuitry), the other jumper control block configures the firmware and software driver (informs drivers of the status of the hardware selection). It is extremely important that when reconfiguring any input, that both the hardware jumper setting and firmware jumper setting for that input match (select the same input type). Figure 22 (P40 Input Type Jumper Locations) shows the location of each input’s jumper block pair. Each jumper block pair consists of two three pin headers and each header is shipped with a shorting block. The position of the shorting block on the header determines the input type configuration. Figure 23 (P40 Input Type Jumper Configuration) demonstrates the shorting block positions for the three valid input configuration options.
FIGURE 23 – P40 INPUT TYPE JUMPER CONFIGURATION
10.8.2 Transducer Input Scaling Configuration
point values for the Transducer Input points on all present Transducer Input Modules will appear in the M87x floating point dat abase. By default, values for Transducer Inputs configured as voltage inputs will be in volts and values for Transducer Inputs configured as currents will be in milliamps. Database points for which there are no corresponding Transducer Input points will report as zero. The 70 Series Configurator software provides for gain and offset scaling for each Transducer Input. This permits transducer inputs to appear in primary units. The 70 Series Configurator allows the user to enter two specific primary values for the associated transducer input values and automatically calculates the correct offset and gain corrections. See Figure 24 (70 Series Configurator Software Transducer I/O Configuration Screen). In the screen snap shot shown in the Figure 23 The first Transducer Input card has the first three inputs configured for type 0-1mA, i nputs 4 through 6 configured for type 4-20mA inputs, and the remaining two inputs configured as type 0-10V inputs. All inputs except for 5 and 6 will appear in the database in default units (milliamps for inputs 1 through 4 and volts for inputs 7and 8). FIGURE 24 – 70 SERIES CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE TRANSDUCER I/O CONFIGURATION SCREEN Suppose the device connected to input 5 is a temperature transducer with an output range from 4 to 20mA that corresponds to a temperat ure of 0 to 100 degrees C. Configuring the 4mA setting to report as 0 and the 20mA setting to report as 100 will scale the value in the M87x database to the primary units of the transdu cer. If this same transducer is connected to input 5 and the scalings are changed to -32 and 212 respectively, the value will appear in the M87x database in degrees F.
10.8.3 Setting the Data Update Rate (Poll rate) for P40 Transducer Inputs
ate is now settable through the Transducer Input page. Poll rate has been added as a settable value starting with the release of Configurator v3.02. A poll rate as low as 100 ms can now be set for certain applications. Refer to the specifications when setting the poll rate for Transducer Inputs on M87x. See Figure 24, which shows an example of settings made using the 70 Series Configurator Software on the Transducer Input page.
- APPENDIX A - CROSS TRIGGERING
11.1 Cross-Triggering
There are many possible uses for the Input / Output functions available from 70 Series Recorders, but Cross-Triggering deserves special attention since it is prerequisite to the application of distributed recording. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) like mi croprocessor-based relays or 70 Series Recorders are generally used to measure the electrical parameters associated with a particular load, such as a feeder for example. In contrast, most dedicated Sequence-of- Events (SOE) Recorders or Digital Fault Reco rders (DFRs) collect measurements from all points of interest throughout an entire substation or load centre. Those devices generally produce recordings that include the activity of all points in a single document facilitating analysis by showing everything on a common time scale. A consolidated document like that can be produced by time-synchronized distributed IEDs by combining files captured by each of the recorders. In order to consolidate all the recordings from IEDs distributed throughout a substation, all the IEDs must first be made to trigger simult aneously whenever an event of interest is sensed by any one unit in the substation. That mechanism is referred to as Cross- Triggering. Recordings are then downloaded and combined by software designed for that purpose (described elsewhere). This appendix will concentrate on methods available for cross-triggering distributed IEDs. 70 Series Recorders support two mechanisms for cross-triggering one another. These mechanisms are vendor-independent so may be used in combination with protective relays and other IEDs to the extent that status and cont rol points are available or that protocols are supported by the other devices. 1. Hard-wired, using discrete digital I/O. Contacts wired in parallel on a dedicated cable pass a voltage signal to the status inputs on ea ch IED when an event is sensed. The status input on each device can then be configured to trigger a recording. 2. Ethernet: a. using GOOSE. Status points are comm unicated across an Ethernet LAN using the IEC-61850 standard. The principal advantage of GOOSE messaging is that it does not require a separate dedicated control cable for physical contacts. b. using GSSE. Status points are communica ted across an Ethernet LAN. The principal advantages of GSSE are interoperability wi th legacy equipment and simplicity of configuration. All 70 Series firmware released from April 2004 to June 2008 supported UCA. The term “GOOSE” when used in the UCA context is equivalent to GSSE as defined by IEC- 61850. GSSE messaging can be se t up with the 70 Series Co nfigurator alone. The IED Configurator is not required for GSSE. The 70 Series Recorder provides considerable flexibility in how a user could customize these methods to fit the constraints of any particular application. An exhaustive description of all possible variations is not practical, but it is useful to provide an example of each method in a typical application.
11.2 Example 1. Discrete Digital I/O: Please refer to Figure A1 for wiring, Figure A2 through A4 for configuration, and Figure 11, section 9.9 for the pin-out of the Digital I/O ca rds and internal resistor values that are not shown in Figure A1. Note: Standard Digital I/O cards (P30A and P31) incorporate an internal parallel current path on all digital outputs which conducts through a resistance even when the output contacts are open. This is normally used as a parallel digital input circuit but it makes the standard card unsuitable for cross-triggering because it tends to pull-up the switched conductor when contacts are open. To use cross-triggering as shown in this example, be sure to specify optional P30AW (8-point) and P31W (16-point) Digital I/O cards when ordering M87x models. FIGURE A 1
11.2.1 Wiring:
ustrates one digital output (lower pair, pins 1 and 2 on a P30AW card) from each of three M871 units wired in parallel. Closing the Output 1 contact on any M871 will energize the switched conductor. The upper pair, pins 9 and 10, are digital inputs wired in parallel between the switched and negative conductors. All three units will sense a status change on Input 5 whenever the switched conductor is ener gized or de-energized. All digital inputs on the M871 incorporate an internal current limiting resistor so no external resistor is required to prevent shorting (+) to (-) when digital out puts operate. It may be advisable, however, to place one pull-down resistor (R P, in Figure A1) between the switched and negative conductors to prevent chatter on the inputs. Acceptable values for R P depend on the application, but something in the 100k Ω to 500k Ω range should generally be safe in most cases.
11.2.2 Configuration:
Figure A2 illustrates a typical configuration that will initiate an oscillography recording and an SOE Log entry when the current exceeds a threshold on any of the three phases.
Since a high current on one feeder would not no rmally be sensed by any other IEDs in a substation, a cross-trigger is necessary to init iate the oscillography recorders on all other IEDs. Figure A3 shows how any condition that triggers Waveform Recorder 1 also operates Digital Output 1 which initiates the cross-trigger. In this example, the contact dwells in the closed position for the length of time that Waveform Recorder 1 is running. (The characteristics of WR1 are set on a different page of the 70 Series Configurator.) FIGURE A 3 Figure A4 shows the action taken when a cross-trigger on Digital Input 5 is sensed. In general, receiving a cross-trigger from anothe r device should have the same effect as triggering on something sensed directly by the IED.
11.3 Example 2. Ethernet, using GOOSE: GOOSE is a function defined within the context of the IEC-61850 standard but there is no requirement to make use of any other aspect of 61850 just to use GOOSE for cross- triggering 70 Series IEDs. Due to the level of multi-vendor support for IEC-61850, cross- triggering between 70 Series IEDs, microprocessor based relays, and other devices may be an advantage of using GOOSE for cross-trigge ring. If a broader use of IEC-61850 is not intended, however, the user ma y find cross-triggering via G SSE (see Example 3) just as effective and somewhat simpler to set up. In a broader application of IEC-61850, GOOSE could be used for much more than what is described in this example, but when applied simp ly for cross-triggering, it can be envisioned as a method to communicate a binary status over an Ethernet medium, exactly analogous to status and control performed by discrete I/O points (see Example 1). GOOSE messages are reliable enough to be used for controlling interlocks and protective relay blocking schemes, and can be propagated even faster than discrete digital contacts because of the time that it takes for moving mechanical parts to operate. GOOSE operates by means of publication and subscription to unsolicited, unacknowledged, multicast (sometimes anycast) messages on an Ethernet LAN, so GOOSE messages can not pass through a router into another network. In its simplest form, such a network could consist of as little as an Ethernet switch and the inter-triggered IEDs connected via conventional Cat. 5 cables. There is no need to uplink into any wider LAN or to operate with any other clients or servers on the network (except for the purpose of configuring the IEDs). So in a substation, security could be accomplis hed easily just by restricting physical access to the network. Otherwise, when used in a secure general purpose network, GOOSE messaging can coexist unobtrusively with other network traffic including file transfer services useful for collecting the recordings captured by the IEDs.
11.3.1 Connection:
ust be fitted with one of the ava ilable Ethernet options and be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN). The minimum har dware requirement for an M87x to support 61850 is 64MB SDRAM on the Host Processor. Older units built with 16MB SDRAM can either be upgraded with a new Host Processor Card (H11 or H12), or else cross-triggering could be accomplished via GSSE (see Example 3) instead of GOOSE.
11.3.2 Configuration:
ented on the 70 Series IED, IEC-6 1850 requires two separate software programs to configure. These are the IED Configurator (used to set up functions specific to 61850, like defining Datasets, GOOSE publication and subscription, etc.) and the 70 Series Configurator (for trigger logic, recorder settings, and other legacy functions). Both programs are supplied at no cost with the M87x and are also available for download from the company’s public FTP site.
The following steps illustrate a typical configuration: 1. In the 70 Series Configurator, Figure A5 shows how any event of interest measured directly by an M871 is configured to init iate an oscillography recording and make an SOE Log entry. (Only Phase-A Amps is shown, but the Trigger window scrolls vertically and can hold up to 120 separate independent events.) FIGURE A 5 2. The condition “Waveform Recorder 1 Start ed” is represented by a soft bit which is an element in the IEC-61850 Object Model (Recor ds/WrxRDRE1.ST.RcdStr.stVal). Other soft bits are available to represent recorders WR2, DR1 and DR2 as needed (see 70 Series IEC- 61850 manual, MICS document). The IED Configurator will be used in steps 4 and 5 below to make the M871 publish a GOOSE message when this bit changes status. The bit is set when WR1 begins recording. It remains set until it is re-initialized. Note: No self-initializing bits are defined by the 61850 object model so an entry must be made in the 70 Series Configurator to re-initialize the bit a short time after it is set. Event 2 in Figure A6 illustrates that instruction. T he choice of a particular duration (Event 2, far right column) as the dwell time before the bit is reset is more-or-less arbitrary, but should generally be shorter than the run-time of the recorder. No new cross-trigger can be sent via GOOSE until the bit is re-initialized and WR1 has completed recording.
- When a cross-trigger is received from another unit, it comes in the form of a GOOSE subscription (set up in the IED Configurator in step 7, below). GOOSE subscriptions are represented in the 70 Series Configurator by binary inputs that can be used to trigger WR1 and make an entry in the SOE Log. In this ex ample, events 3, 4, and 5 shown in Figure A7 are the binary inputs received by subscribing to the GOOSE messages published by three other M871s on the network. This completes the settings that are made in the 70 Series Configurator. FIGURE A 7 4. The following settings must be made in the IED Configurator: Configuring an M871 to publish a GOOSE is a two step process. Figures A8 and A9 illustrate the first step, defining a Dataset that includes the soft bit described in step 2, above (Records/WrxRDRE1.ST.RcdStr.stVal).
Note: In order to be used for GOOSE publication, the Dataset must be defined under System\\LLN0 as shown in Figure A9. FIGURE A 9 5. The second step in publication is defining a GOOSE message, Figure A10. Up to eight independent GOOSE publications may be defined for each device. Only one is required for cross-triggering any number of other devices. System\\LLN0\\gcb01 is used in this example. All default entries shown in Figure A10 should generally be used in most cases, but the user must select the dataset defined in step 4, above, from the pull-down menu in the box Dataset Reference. Then the Configuration Revision must be incremented to at least 1 (usually incremented automatically by the IED Configurator). This Revision number must match the corresponding GOOSE subscription settings on all the other inter-triggered IEDs on the network (see step 7, below).
- Each IED only needs to publish one GOOSE to cross-trigger any number of other devices. When setting up subscriptions, however , the device must subscribe to every other device from which a cross-trigger may be expected. For example, in a substation with four inter-triggered M871 units, each unit would publish one and subscribe to three GOOSE messages. Up to thirty-two separate status points may be defined for each device. These status points correspond to elements in the Dataset transmitted by the GOOSE message. Refer to the points named System\\GosGGIO1\\Ind1.stVal through System\\GosGGIO1\\Ind32.stVal in Figure A11. These are the points in the IED Configurator that correspond to the points in the 70 Series Configurator which were described in step 3, above. In the 70 Se ries Configurator these points are named GOOSE binary input Ind1 through GOOSE binary input Ind32. See Figure A7, Events 3, 4, 5, etc. FIGURE A 11 7. The IED Configurator makes it relatively simple to configure subscriptions when the MCL files for all devices are open at the same time and the GOOSE publications have already been configured on each of the other dev ices. See Figure A12. By clicking on the Browse button, a window appears allowing the user to select the status point (green dot shown in Figure A12). Selecting the point (Records/WrxRDRE1.ST.RcdStr.stVal) causes a
bscription, etc. until a sub scription has been made to each of the other IEDs on the network. cates Pass through. This completes the configuration settings for GOOSE subscription. subscription to be configured for the GOOSE mess age that contains that status point. After selecting that point, next click on System\\GosGGIO1\\Ind2.stVal (see left side of Figure A11) and repeat step 7 selecting the same status point from the second M871 for the second subscription, and again with System\\GosGGIO1\\Ind3.stVal for the third su FIGURE A 12 8. Under Destination Parameters (see Figure A11 near bottom) verify that the pull- down menu labelled Evaluation Expression indi
11.4 Example 3. Ethernet, using GSSE: The GSSE service, as defined by IEC-61850, is identical to what has been called GOOSE in connection with UCA2.0 in past years. In or der to reduce confusion as far as possible, all previous references to GOOSE in the UCA context have been replaced by the expression GSSE in 70 Series documentation because IEC-61850 s upersedes UCA as a communications standard. The use of GSSE to perform cross-triggering carries all the practical advantages of GOOSE and is simpler to set up, but has much narrower multi-vendor support. It is, however, available on all 70 Series IED firmware versions released since April 2004, so GSSE may be a better choice when it is eit her unnecessary to trigger other devices, or when triggering other vendors’ devices might as easily be accomplished with discrete digital I/O while using GSSE among the 70 Series IEDs installed. As with GOOSE, there is no need to make use of any other aspect of 61850 or UCA protocols just to use GSSE for cross-triggering. GSSE can generally be envisioned as a way to communicate a binary status over an Ethernet medium, exactly analogous to status a nd control performed by discrete I/O points (see Example 1). GSSE messages are reliable enough to be used for cont rolling interlocks and protective relay blocking schemes, and can be propagated even faster than discrete digital contacts because of the time that it takes for moving mechanical parts to operate. GSSE operates by means of transmitting and receiving unsolicit ed, unacknowledged, multicast messages on an Ethernet LAN, so GSSE messages can not pass through a router into another network. In its simplest form, such a network could consist of as little as an Ethernet switch and the inter-triggered IEDs connected via conventional Cat. 5 cables. There is no need to uplink into any wider LAN or to operate with any other clients or servers on the network (except for the purpose of configuring the IEDs). So in a substation, security could be accomplished easily just by restricting physical access to the network. Otherwise, when used in a secure general purpose network, GSSE messaging can coexist unobtrusively with other network traffic including file transfer services useful for collecting the recordings captured by the IEDs.
11.4.1 Connection:
ust be fitted with one of the ava ilable Ethernet options and be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN). There is no other minimum hardware requirement for an M87x to support GSSE. Older units that support UCA but not 61850 can exchange cross-triggers via GSSE from newer units that support 61850.
11.4.2 Configuration:
ettings required for cross-triggering with GSSE are made in the 70 Seri es Configurator. The following steps illustrate a typical configuration: 1. In the 70 Series Configurator, Figure A13 shows how any event of interest measured directly by an M871 is configured to init iate an oscillography recording and make an SOE Log entry. (Only Phase-A Amps is shown, but the Trigger window scrolls vertically and can hold up to 120 separate independent events.)
- The condition “Waveform Recorder 1 Active” is used to drive a Virtual Output that is linked to a GSSE message as illustrated in Figur e A14. A Virtual Output can be driven by individual conditions (like RMS Amps A1 > 2000, in this example) or it could be the result of a combination of several conditions defined through rudimentary triggering logic. FIGURE A 14 Note: “Waveform Recorder 1 Active” can be considered to be a self-initializing condition since it transitions from 0 to 1 when the recorder starts then returns to 0 (its initialized state) when the recording is completed. Therefore, no deliberate step is necessary to re-initialize a soft bit, as was required for “Waveform Recorder 1 Started” in step 2 of Example 2. 3. On the GSSE (Virtual I/O) page, define a GSSE Tx Name (“Unit_1” in this example) which is unique to the device sending the GSSE message as ill ustrated near the bottom of Figure A15.
- When a cross-trigger is received from another unit, it comes in the form of a GSSE message. Each unique GSSE message must be associated with sp ecific numbered Virtual Input as seen on top half of the GSSE (Virtual I/O) page of the 70 Series Configurator shown in Figure A15. Each device only needs to transmit one GSSE to cross-trigger any number of other devices. When setting up for receiving a cross-trigger, however, the device must be configured to receive GSSE messages from ev ery other device from which a cross-trigger may be expected. For example, in a substation with four inter-triggered M871 units, each unit would transmit one GSSE and be configured to receive GSSE messages from all three other units. Up to thirty-two separate Virtual Inputs may be defined for each device. 5. On the Recorder Triggers page of the 70 Series Configurator, each of the Virtual Inputs defined in step 4, above, is then used to initiate the oscillography recorder and make an entry in the SOE Log. See Figure A16. This completes the configuration settings for cross-triggering by means of GSSE. FIGURE A 16
APPENDIX B – CONFIGURATION OF P32 CARD When fitted and configured, the P32 card provides external visual indication of virtual binary points while internally routing voltage levels (representing the binary status) to points that can be indicated within Waveform records. As such the P32 card allows GOOSE virtual inputs to be recorded in a Waveform record. Principle of Operation. The P32 card supports a total of eight outputs (per card) and directs each signal to a corresponding discrete input circuit. Since an actual voltage is produced at the input circuit, the pre-existing 70 Series architecture may be used to incorporate the binary status into Waveform recordings. FIGURE B1. THE P32 CARD. The P32 card has eight amber LEDs to indicate status, but has no terminals and no relays or moving parts of any kind. (See Figure B1.) No external wiring and no separate power source are required. Operation of the P32 card requires three configuration steps: 1. Configure an output on the P32 card to be controlled by a virtual input defined in trigger logic. (See Figure B2.) 2. Configure the WR1 or WR2 recorder to include the status of the inputs from the P32 card. (See Figure B3.) 3. Configure the “User Defined Measurement Name” of the wrap-around point to indicate the plain-language description of the point represented by the binary status. (See Figure B4.) Any virtual binary status supported by the IED may be assigned to control a wrap-around point, and can thereby appear in the Waveform recording. So the functionality includes but is not restricted solely to GOOSE messages.
