3.1 AC Analog Input

The sampling rate of measurement is 80 points per cycle (0.02s), and the values displayed on
LCD will be refreshed every 0.1s.
Besides observing from the LCD of device, user can also use SAS or the auxiliary software
PCS-COMM to supervise the measurement via communication protocol.

NOTICE!
Active and reactive power are calculated by the three-meter method.
This device can detect up to the 15th harmonic of the effective value of voltage.
3.2 DC Analog Input

The DC AI function completes the acquisition of incoming DC analog voltage or current, especially
for temperature, humidity or pressure transducer.
The sampling rate of the measurement is 500 SPS (sample-per-second). After algorithm and
digital RC filtering, the measurement can achieve the high accuracy 0.1%.
Besides observing from the LCD of device, user can also use SAS or the auxiliary software
PCS-COMM to supervise the measurement via communication protocol.
NOTICE!
Different measurement range of DC input can be selected according to the right

configuration of jumper links in the DCAI plug-in module. Please refer to the chapter 2
for the specific DC input ranges and the chapter 6 for the jumpers’ configuration.

3 Operation Theory
3.3 DC Analog Output

This device can receive remote regulation command from a control centre, and then send DC
output 4~20mA or 0~10V (for the purpose of AGC regulation or generator excitation regulation).
The analog output function, which is based on the principle "Select Before Operate (abbreviated
as SBO)", can be performed from a local workstation or a remote control center with the use of a
suitable communication protocol. One integrated procedure of regulation contains:
1. Send the selection command from a NCC or a local workstation to the device.
2. After the judgment of device logic function, return "selection success" or "fail reason" to the
command source.
3. Send the execution command from the NCC or the local workstation to the device if the
"selection success" result is received. Send the cancel command from the NCC or the local
workstation to the device if the "fail reason" is received.
4. After the regulation range judgment of device logic function, output the regulated DC analog
value.
5. Return "execution success" or "fail reason" to the command source.
3.4 Binary Input

Electrical signals are introduced into the device via optical isolation in BI module and then
converted into digital signals. These signals are configurable in using the auxiliary software
PCS-COMM.
After the filter circuit and debouncing algorithm processing, external interference can be filtered
effectively. As shown in the following figure, a well-designed debouncing technique is adopted in
this device. Binary input state change within "Debouncing time" (t0-t1 can be set 0~30s) will be
ignored, in order to ensure the accuracy of the signal status. Once there is a confirmation of
change status of signal (start from t1), a SOE record will be noted in the device.

3 Operation Theory
3.5 Switching Control

The control output function performs execution to primary equipment, such as CB/DS/ES
switching, tap position change, etc.
To ensure more security of this function, each binary output consists of power relay, fault detector
relay and output relay in series. An error of one or two relays will not cause the undesired output,
so as to enhance the dependability of binary output. Furthermore, each execution is controlled by
two CPU chips and the circuit to block control is also available to prevent output by mistake during
breakdown of hardware.
The control output function, which is based on the principle "Select Before Operate (abbreviated
as SBO)", can be performed from device LCD (local mode) or SCADA (remote mode).
One integrated procedure of control contains:
1. Send the selection command from device LCD (local mode), or SCADA (remote mode);
2. After logic judgment function, the device returns "selection success" or "fail reason";
3. Send the execution command from device LCD (local mode), or SCADA (remote mode) if the
result "selection success" is received;
4. After logic judgment function, the device does or cancels the execution and returns
corresponding "execution success" or "fail reason";
3.6 Tap Changer Control

A tap changer is a connection point selection mechanism along a power transformer winding that
allows a variable number of turns to be selected in discrete steps. A transformer with a variable
turn's ratio is produced, enabling stepped voltage regulation of the output. The tap selection may
be made via an automatic or manual tap changer mechanism.
For many power transformer applications, a supply interruption during a tap change is
unacceptable, and the transformer is often fitted with a more expensive and complex OLTC (On
Load Tap Changer) mechanism.
The control and supervision of OLTC is treated as a special kind of binary output in this device.
The difference with an ordinary one is that, during a tap changer control process, if "running tap"
occurs, the tap position will be out of control (steps up or down continuously). An output contact
"BO_EmergStopTP" is then provided to issue an emergency stop command for this situation. This
output contact along with the other 3 binary outputs for the control of tap changer locate in the
terminal 08~15 of PWR module, please refer to the chapter 5 for more details.
3.7 Interlocking Logic Output

Programmable interlocking logic is available to accomplish different switching schemes. The
interlocking logic can block the device's capability of primary equipment's switching control. The
logic can be distributed to each IED. For station-wide interlock, an IED communicates via the
system-wide inter-bay bus (IEC 61850-8-1) and an interlocking criterion depends on the circuit
Date: 2015-06-03
3 Operation Theory
configuration and primary equipment status. For easy and safe implementation of the interlocking
logic, the criterion are configurable to meet any specific requirement.
When executing a switching output, if the interlocking logical criterions are met, besides the
internal software interlock, this device also provides hardware interlock with the help of PLC
module (normally open contact output controlled by the result of interlocking logical calculation).
3.8 Clock Management

 Real Time Clock
The MON module in this device has an inner real-time clock with high precision. This clock
can last for about one month even if the device is switched off.
 Clock Synchronization
The clock synchronization function supports various synchronization signals, including

IRIG-B, PPS/PPM, SNTP broadcast, SNTP peer-to-peer, received from a clock
synchronization source device (E.g. : RCS-9785 GPS Synchronized Clock).

6.2.3 AC AI Module (AC Analog Input)

The AI module is an analog input unit. It contains voltage transformers and current transformers
that can transform high AC input values into relevant low AC output value. These values are
suited to the analog inputs of the MON module. So it can be thought as a bridge between the
MON module and the external analog signals that come into the device. The transformers are
used to step-down currents and voltages to levels appropriate for this device's electronic circuit
and to provide effective isolation between the device and the power system. A low pass filter
circuit is connected to each transformer (CT and VT) secondary circuit for reducing the noise of
each analog AC input signal.
NOTICE!
1. The rated value of the input current transformer is optional: 1A or 5A. Please declare
the rated value of the CT when place order.
2. Because the rated value of the input current transformer is optional, it is necessary
to check that whether the rated values of the current transformer inputs are in
accordance with the demand of the practical engineering before putting the device
into operation.
3. The width of AI module is double of other modules. One AI module occupies 2 slots.
4. Up to 3 AI modules can be equipped in the mater full-width chassis slots 03-04,
Date: 2015-06-03

10.1 Overview
This section outlines the remote communications interfaces of this device. This device supports
several protocols (server & client) via the rear communication interfaces. The standard protocols
provided by the device are instructed in this chapter.
The rear EIA RS-485 interface is isolated and is suitable for permanent connection of whichever
protocol is selected. The advantage of this type of connection is that up to 32 devices can be
"daisy chained" together using a simple twisted pair electrical connection.
It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocol itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred to for this
information. This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in the
device.
NOTICE!
A special demand besides the standard protocols described in this chapter must be
declared obviously and clearly in the technic sheet and the contract. Please pay
attention and provide detailed protocol demand when ordering.
10.2 Rear Communication Port
10.2.1 RS-485 Interface

This device provides several rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has three terminals
in the connector located on the back of the device and each port has a ground terminal for the
earth shield of the communication cable. The rear ports provide RS-485 serial data
communication and are intended for use with a permanently wired connection to a remote control
center.
10.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus
The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the product’s connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.
10.2.1.2 Bus Termination
The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120Ω (Ohm) ½ Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (refer to the following figure). Some devices may be able to provide the
bus terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a
facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.

Figure 10.2-1 EIA RS-485 bus connection arrangements
10.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies
The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device be directly connected to the physical cable
that is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidden, such as star topologies.
Loop bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it.
Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on
the application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm 2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length
must not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end,
normally at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially
when the cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.
This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the product’s chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.
10.2.1.4 Biasing
It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber occurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state because the bus is not being actively driven. This can occur
when all the slaves are in receive mode and the master is slow to turn from receive mode to
transmit mode. This may be because the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a
high impedance state, until it has something to transmit. Jabber causes the receiving device(s) to
miss the first bits of the first character in the packet, which results in the slave rejecting the
message and consequentially not responding. Symptoms of these are poor response times (due
to retries), increasing message error counters, erratic communications, and even a complete
failure to communicate.
Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V.
There should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection
point. The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise, noise will be injected. Note that
some devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias, in which case external
components will not be required.
Date: 2015-06-03
10 Communication
NOTICE!
It is extremely important that the 120Ω termination resistors be fitted. Failure to do so

will result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the
bus.
As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NR cannot assume responsibility
for any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network because of
incorrect application of this voltage.
Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic
inputs) as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.
10.2.2 Ethernet Interface

This device can provide four rear Ethernet interfaces (optional) and they are unattached each
other. Parameters of each Ethernet port can be configured in the menu "Settings→Device
Setup→Comm Settings".
10.2.2.1 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable
It is recommended to use twisted shielded eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown below.
Figure 10.2-2 Ethernet communication cable
10.2.2.2 Connections and Topologies
Each equipment is connected with an exchanger via communication cable, and thereby it forms a
star structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is
connected to the exchanger and will play a role as master station, other equipment connected to
the exchanger will play a role as slave unit.

10.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface over Serial Port
The IEC60870-5-103 interface via serial port (RS-485) is a master/slave interface with the device
as the slave device. It is properly developed by NR.
The device conforms to compatibility level 3.
The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:
1. Initialization (reset)
2. Time synchronization
3. Event record extraction
4. General interrogation
5. General commands
6. Disturbance records
10.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer

Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this device. The
transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.
The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.
10.3.2 Initialization
Whenever the device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been
changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The device will respond to
either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference is that the Reset CU
Date: 2015-06-03
10 Communication
will clear any unsent messages in the transmit buffer.
The device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5, the COT
(Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the
nature of the reset command.
10.3.3 Time Synchronization

The device time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the
IEC60870-5-103 protocol. The device will correct for the transmission delay as specified in
IEC60870-5-103. If the time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then
the device will respond with a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message is sent as
a send confirmation or a broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization class 1 event
will be generated/produced.
If the device clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to set the
device time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via the interface will
cause the device to create an event with the current date and time taken from the IRIG-B
synchronized internal clock.
10.3.4 Spontaneous Events

Events are categorized using the following information:
1. Type identification (TYP)
2. Function type (FUN)
3. Information number (INF)
Messages sent to substation automation system are grouped according to IEC60870-5-103

protocol. Operating elements are sent by ASDU2 (time-tagged message with relative time), and
status of binary signal and alarm element are sent by ASDU1 (time-tagged message). The cause
of transmission (COT) of these responses is 1.
10.3.5 General Interrogation

The GI can be used to read the status of the device, the function numbers, and information
numbers that will be returned during the GI cycle. The GI cycle strictly abides by the rules defined
in the IEC60870-5-103.
Refer the IEC60870-5-103 standard can get the enough details about general interrogation.
10.3.6 General Service

The generic functions can be used to read the setting and measurement of the device, and modify
the setting. Two supported type identifications are ASDU 21 and ASDU 10. For more details about
generic functions, see the IEC60870-5-103 standard.
10.3.7 Disturbance Records

This device can store up to eight disturbance records in its memory. A pickup of the fault detector
or an operation of the device can make the device store the disturbance records.
Date: 2015-06-03
10 Communication
The disturbance records are stored in uncompressed format and can be extracted using the
standard mechanisms described in IEC60870-5-103.
10.4 Brief of IEC 60870-5-101 Protocol

IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is an extension of IEC101 protocol with the changes in transport,
network, link & physical layer services to suit the complete network access. The standard uses an
open TCP/IP interface to network to have connectivity to the LAN (Local Area Network) and
routers with different facility (ISDN, X.25, Frame relay etc.) can be used to connect to the WAN
(Wide Area Network). Application layer of IEC 104 is preserved same as that of IEC101 with some
of the data types and facilities not used. There are two separate link layers defined in the standard,
which is suitable for data transfer over Ethernet & serial line (P2P Point-to-Point Protocol). The
control field data of IEC104 contains various types of mechanisms for effective handling of
network data synchronization.

11.7 Electrical Installation and Wiring

11.7.1 Grounding Guidelines
NOTICE!
All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.
All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.
In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
11.7.2 Cubicle Grounding

The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.
NOTICE!
If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts of it
forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission of
Date: 2015-06-03
11 Installation
interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.
Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 11.7-1).
The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.
NOTICE!
For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.
The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a
grounding strip (braided copper).

11.7.3 Ground Connection on the Device

There is a ground terminal on the rear panel, and the ground braided copper strip can be
connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as possible. The main
thing is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops from unit to unit are not
allowed.
There are some ground terminals on some connectors of this device, and the sign is “GND”. All
the ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this device. Therefore, the ground terminal
on the rear panel (see Figure 11.7-2) is the only ground terminal of this device.
Date: 2015-06-03
11 Installation
Figure 11.7-2 Ground terminal of this device
11.7.4 Grounding Strips and their Installation

High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.
The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round
copper conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.
Proper terminations must be fitted to both ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting
them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.
The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.

11.7.5 Guidelines for Wiring

There are several types of cables that are used in the connection of this device: braided copper
cable, serial communication cable etc. Recommendation of each cable:
 Grounding: braided copper cable, 2.5mm 2 ~ 6.0mm 2
 Power supply, binary inputs & outputs: brained copper cable, 1.0mm 2 ~ 2.5mm 2
 AC voltage inputs: brained copper cable, 1.0mm 2 ~ 2.5mm 2
 AC current inputs: brained copper cable, 1.5mm 2 ~ 4.0mm 2
 Serial communication: 4-core shielded braided cable
 Ethernet communication: 4-pair shielded twisted category 5E cable

11.7.6 Wiring for Electrical Cables
DANGER!
NEVER allow a open current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this
device while the primary system is live. Open CT circuit will produce a dangerously
high voltage that cause death.
A female connector is used for connecting the wires with it, and then a female connector plugs
into a corresponding male connector that is in the front of one board. See Chapter “Hardware” for
further details about the pin defines of these connectors.

12.5.1.4 Auxiliary Power Supply
WARNING!
Energize this device ONLY if the power supply is within the specified operating range in
the chapter 2.
The device only can be operated under the auxiliary power supply depending on the device’s
nominal power supply rating.
The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in Chapter “Technical Data”,
before energizing the device, measure the auxiliary supply to ensure it within the operating range.
Other requirements to the auxiliary power supply are specified in Chapter “Technical Data”. See
this section for further details about the parameters of the power supply.
12.5.2 With the Device Energized
The following groups of checks verify that the device hardware and software is functioning
correctly and should be carried out with the auxiliary supply applied to the device.
The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the device for these
checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental operation of the
associated circuit breaker.
12.5.2.1 Front Panel LCD Display
Connect the device to DC power supply correctly and turn the device on. Check program version
and forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what ordered.
12.5.2.2 Date and Time
If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.
Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item “Clock”.
In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date
will be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be
correct and not need to set again.
To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the device for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.
12.5.2.3 Light Emitting Diode (LED)
On power up, the green LED “HEALTHY” should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the device is healthy.
The device has latched signal devices which remember the state of the trip, auto-reclose when
the device was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also
illuminate when the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be

12 Commissioning
reset before proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out.
There is no testing required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.
It is likely that alarms related to voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.
Apply the rated DC power supply and check that the “HEALTHY” LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the “HEALTHY” LED is always lighting in operation course except that the
equipment find serious errors in it.
Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter “Supervision”, the “ALARM” LED will

13 Maintenance
This device is designed to require no special maintenance. All measurement and signal
processing circuit are fully solid state. All input modules are also fully solid state. The output relays
are hermetically sealed.
Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals
are not required.
Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.
13.1 Appearance Check

 The device case should be clean without any dust stratification. Case cover should be sealed
well. No component has any mechanical damage and distortion, and they should be firmly
fixed in the case. Device terminals should be in good condition. The keys on the front panel
with very good feeling can be operated flexibly.
 It is only allowed to plug or withdraw device board when the supply is reliably switched off.
Never allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the
primary system is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the
device board when it is unnecessary.
 Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual
inline components must be well plugged.
13.2 Failure Tracing and Repair

Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “Superv State” screen on the LCD.
When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:
 Test circuit connections are correct
 Modules are securely inserted in position
 Correct DC power voltage is applied
 Correct AC inputs are applied
 Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual
