1 Overview
1.1 Content
This manual describes the user interface and operation modes of the Comsys ADF P100/P300
series of Active Filters. The user can choose to use either the Human Machine Interface
(HMI/HMI3) interface found at the cabinet door or the Web User Interface (WUI).
The manual assumes knowledge of the ADF P100/P300 products from reading the
ADF P100/P300 Hardware Manuals.
⚠
ATTENTION: The Hardware Manual must be studied carefully before following the
commissioning procedure. It describes the physical installation of the system and how
it should be inspected prior to the first start-up.
1.2 Organization of manuals

The ADF P300 manual is organized in two parts, namely;
1. ADF P300 Hardware Manual, doc no 1 199 171

2. ADF P100/P300 User Manual, doc no 1 199 172 (this document)
The ADF P100 manual is organized in two parts, namely;
1. ADF P100/P100N Hardware Manual, doc no 1 199 273

2. ADF P100/P300 User Manual, doc no 1 199 172 (this document)
In case of system integration, a modified Hardware Manual by the integrator might exist. Otherwise
the ADF P100/P100N Hardware Manual (doc no 1 199 273) can be used in combination with this
ADF P100/P300 User Manual.
The Hardware Manual covers hardware related issues, such as installation, cable selection, CT
configuration, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The user manual covers issues which are governed by the installed software in the system such as
operation, initial configuration and commissioning. Hence, when the system is updated, a new User
Manual is supplied.

2 Feature overview
This section gives an overview of the ADF P100/P300 compensation settings. The settings can be
changed both using the HMI and WUI interfaces described in later sections of this manual. For an
overview of the power principles of the ADF P100/P300 unit, please refer to the overview section in
the Hardware Manual.
2.1 General
The ADF P100/P300 has two sets of compensation settings. One primary set and one secondary
set. The system may be configured to switch between them using one of the digital inputs or
Modbus TCP.
If the compensation power of the system is not enough to fulfill the requested settings, the system
will scale down power factor correction, harmonics and load balancing in equal amounts.
By default, all compensation settings are disabled and should be configured as a part of system
commissioning.
2.2 Power Factor Compensation – PFC

The ADF P100/P300 can be configured in static, dynamic, dynamic (inductive direction) or dynamic
(capacitive direction) PFC mode.
In static mode, the system will produce a fixed amount of reactive power.
In dynamic mode, the system will try to maintain a fixed power factor in the grid. If the load
changes, the ADF P100/P300 output will also change to maintain a fixed power factor. It is possible
to choose a power factor between 0.5 capacitive and 0.5 inductive.
In dynamic inductive or capacitive mode, the system will try to maintain a fixed power factor in the
grid. If the load changes, the ADF P100/P300 output will also change to maintain a fixed power
factor. The system will however only output inductive current or capacitive current. It is possible to
choose a power factor between 0.5 capacitive and 0.5 inductive.
2.3 Flicker
The ADF P100/P300 is capable of flicker compensation but must be commissioned by Comsys
using special software. Please contact Comsys AB for more information.
2.4 Load balancing

The load balancing function can be used to even out the current drawn from a load as seen from
the network. The ADF will draw balanced three-phase current from the network and provide the
load with the unbalanced power it requires. This can be useful to prevent harmful voltage
unbalance in the feeding gear when for example two-phase loads are connected to the network.
The function can compensate line to line in 3-phase 3-wire systems and line to neutral in 3-phase
4-wire systems.
2.5 Harmonics
This function can dampen or eliminate harmonics up to the 49th harmonic of the fundamental
network frequency in a three-phase system.
The degree of compensation is configurable in percent for each harmonic with 0% being equal to
no compensation and 100% being complete elimination of the harmonic.
In cases where a harmonic is unevenly distributed across the phases, support for unbalanced
harmonics can be enabled.
In 4-wire systems, harmonics up to the 19th can be compensated on the neutral connection.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 15

Sensorless Control of harmonics is supported with an option license key. In this mode,
compensation takes place without the need for external sensors, i.e. without CTs.
NOTE Sensorless Control support is a license key activated option. If you wish to use this
feature, please contact Comsys.
2.6 Multi-master parallel system support

The ADF P100/P300 product line supports intelligent multi-master parallel system support. The
multi-master type of parallel operation is a way of running the system with the following benefits:
• Automatic selection and migration of the ‘Master’ system. When two or more systems are
started up in this mode, they will auto-negotiate which one will become the master. If one
of the systems trip or is shut down for maintenance, the remaining systems – automatically
and on the fly – will renegotiate the new master. When the shutdown system is again
restarted, renegotiation happens again on the fly.
• Load sharing between heterogeneous systems is automatic. For example, one ADF P300-
360/480 and one ADF P300-240/480 can share the load evenly between its total of five
modules.
• Robust operation of several ADF units in parallel even in closed loop configuration.
• When setting up several systems, settings are automatically migrated from the master to
the slaves with zero user intervention.
Please refer to the corresponding Hardware Manual for details on how to properly connect and
configure the multi-master bus.
Multi-master operation is an option that need to be ordered together with the

NOTE system. The additional required hardware bus adapter that is also sold as a retrofit
option. Please contact Comsys for more information.
2.7 Modbus TCP server

The ADF P100/P300 supports Modbus TCP (and UDP). The standard Ethernet connection is used.
The protocol supports basic operations like starting and stopping, and features registers for status,
alarms, measurements etc. Compensation settings can also be adjusted via Modbus.
Please see ‘Appendix A Modbus TCP server’ for more information.
NOTE Modbus TCP server support is a license key activated option. If you wish to use
this feature, please contact Comsys.

3 ADF Dashboard (Web User Interface)

3.1 Introduction
The ADF Dashboard is the Web User Interface (WUI) of the ADF P100/P300 series.
Through the dashboard it is possible to:
• Start and stop the system

• Commission the system (e.g., changing system setup parameters and running diagnostics)
• Change compensation settings (e.g., harmonic compensation, reactive compensation, load
balancing, etc.)
• Change system settings (e.g. digital in and out, time/date, TCP/IP networking, multi-
master, etc.)
• Display waveforms of compensation currents, CT currents and voltages
• Display frequency spectrum of compensation current, CT current and voltages
• Display a vector diagram with phase angles, RMS values and THD of line voltages and line
currents
• Update the software image on the SCC2 control computer
• Import and export settings
3.1.1 ADF Dashboard versions

This manual covers SCC2 software revision 2.0.0. The software revision and build date can be
displayed by opening the About window. Also shown here is the SCC2 serial number and the
SCC2 identifier which is used in conjunction with entered license keys to unlock optional features of
the SCC2.
Figure 1: Overview of the ADF Dashboard showing the About window
NOTE When contacting customer support, please note the SCC2 software revision.
3.1.2 Web browser compatibility

The ADF Dashboard uses advanced functionality and therefore requires a recent web browser
such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 17

3.1.3 Connecting to the ADF

The physical connection is made using a RJ45 cable. On a modern computer, there is no need to
use a cross-wired RJ45 cable however this may be necessary when using older equipment. The
location of the RJ45 socket in the ADF P300, system integration and ADF P100 is shown in Figure
2 and Figure 3 below:
Figure 2: RJ45 socket directly on SCC2 control computer in ADF P300

and in system integration Figure 3: RJ45 socket (X21) on ADF P100 bottom plate
For commissioning and maintenance work it is preferable to connect to the ADF directly from a
laptop via an RJ45 cable. For permanent supervision, the ADF should be permanently connected
to the local area network. To find the IP address of a system using the HMI, see Section 7.3.8 or
Section 9.11.
By default, the system is configured to use a Link-local IP address. This makes direct connection to
the ADF very simple as it requires no configuration on the client PC. The client PC must be set to
obtain an IP address automatically.
Connect the RJ45 cable to the ADF and power up the system using the switch in the door or PIB.
Now connect the other end of the RJ45 cable to the client PC and open a web browser. Note that
the process of address assignment may take up to two minutes. Point the web browser to
http://169.254.254.254/ and you will be presented with a login screen.
Login with the username admin and blank password (default

setting). The password of the admin user can be changed in
the Network settings window after login. Please see Section
5.3.1.8 for more information.
Upon successful login, the username and password will be
stored for the current session. This means that when refreshing
the page or reconnecting for example after loading new
software, login will happen automatically. Close all web Figure 4: Login window
browser windows or use the Logout link to end the session and
log out.
⚠ ATTENTION: Do not connect the Ethernet cable while the system is running or
energized. Refer to Hardware Manual on how to prepare the system for maintenance.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 18

⚠ ATTENTION: The ADF should under no circumstance be connected directly to the

internet. Always connect it behind a firewall to maintain good network security.
The default network settings are intended for direct connection between ADF and a
NOTE client PC. The IP address must be changed if the ADF is to be connected to a
network.
It is possible to reset network settings to their default values in the HMI; this can be
NOTE desirable if an erroneous setting disables network access. See Section 7.3.4 or
Section 9.10 for more information.
3.1.4 Default network settings

The default network settings are as follows:
Table 4: Default IP settings
Setting Default value

Address Mode Static IP

4 Commissioning procedure
⚠
ATTENTION: The Hardware Manual must be studied carefully before following the
commissioning procedure. It describes the physical installation of the system and how
it should be inspected prior to the first start-up.
Before the system can be taken into operation the commissioning procedure described below will
have to be completed.
The first step is to verify the installation and make sure that everything is connected properly.
Then using a PC connected to the ADF, the System setup can be performed. This is where all the
system and installation specific settings are configured.
After the System setup has been completed, Diagnostics mode will be entered. Here, an extensive
suite of automated diagnostic tests will be run to verify the entered settings as well as the
installation. If errors are detected, it is required that they are corrected before the system can enter
Normal operation mode.
System
Diagnostics Normal operation
First start setup
mode mode
mode
Figure 6: Commissioning sequence
When all the diagnostic tests have been successful, the system will enter Normal operation mode.
This is the default state for all subsequent starts after the commissioning has been completed.
While this guide assumes that a PC is used during commissioning, it is also possible to
commission the system using the HMI. Use Section 0 or Section 9 in conjunction with this guide to
do this.
Before proceeding, please make sure that:
• The Hardware Manual has been read through carefully, especially the sections covering
installation and final inspection.
• All fuses are inserted.
4.1 Power up the control computer

When all the previous inspections have been performed successfully the system is ready to be
powered up for the first time. Power on the system by turning the switch (old interface), pressing
the PIB button (new interface) or powering up the system by other means in case of system
integration.
Check that either the HMI or PIB/HMI3 light up.
4.2 Connect PC to the ADF and enter the WUI

Please refer to Section 3 for information on how to enter the WUI.
4.3 Performing system setup

The system setup is now ready to be performed. This is typically only done during commissioning
and its goal is to configure system and installation specific settings that are deemed unlikely to
change after commissioning.
The System setup window (Figure 7) will automatically be shown upon entering the WUI while in
System setup mode. Use this window to configure the system. All settings are described in the
subsections below.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 22

In cases when the system has been delivered with license key activated options, these should be
entered before configuring the other settings. Enter the license keys and click Save and activate
make them take effect.
When all settings are correct, click Run diagnostics to save the system setup and enter Diagnostics
mode.
NOTE Changing the System setup may automatically reset Configuration settings,
Compensation settings and Protection limits back to default values.
NOTE The system may automatically start and run at idle for up to 30 seconds as a part
of the diagnostics procedure.
Figure 7: System setup window
4.3.1 PP-module type

The system can be equipped with several types of power modules depending on the requirements
to be met. All modules in one system must be of the same type.
This software supports the following module types:

The system is limited to 50 A of maximum output current per module unless a valid Model key is
specified. See the description of Model key below (Section 4.3.12) for more information.
4.3.2 PP-module configuration

The standard system supports up to three PP-modules in total through the three PP-module
sockets on the base of the control computer.
If the PP-module type is set to ADF P100, this setting is forced to 1 PP-module.
The following configurations are available: No PP-modules, 1 PP-module, 2 PP-modules or 3
PP-modules.
4.3.3 PP-module configuration extender

Some variants of the SCC2 are fitted with an extender card that allows it to control up to six PP-
modules in total. The extender card adds three extra PP-module sockets above the three standard
sockets.
The following configurations are available for the extender: No PP-modules, 1 PP-module, 2 PP-
modules or 3 PP-modules.
This function is activated using a license key.
4.3.4 PP-module current limitation

This setting allows the maximum output current of the PP-module type to be scaled down using a
percentage. For example, on a system with two PPM300v2-3-A-120/480 installed, setting the
current limitation to 75% would limit the total output current of the system to 180 A.
If a license key for Overload mode has been entered, the value can be set higher than 100% for
some module types. The system can then be operated at a rated power higher than the nameplate.
This is only possible in an environment where the ambient temperature is at 20°C. Please refer to
Table 7: Power module types for more information.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 24

4.3.5 Nominal system voltage

This setting defines the nominal system voltage to which the system is connected. The available
range of the value is defined by the module type.
For 480V modules, this can be set between 208 V and 480 V.
4.3.6 System frequency

This setting defines the nominal system frequency on the grid to which the system is connected
and can be either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
4.3.7 CT connection
The current transducers of the system can be connected either as Closed-loop, Open-loop, or No
CT connected.
In closed-loop, the CTs measure the line current, i.e. the sum of the load current and the ADF
compensation current.
In open-loop, only the load current is measured by the CTs.
Refer to the Hardware Manual for more information about CT connection.
Selecting No CT connected is meant for systems that use the Sensorless Control feature without
having any CTs installed.
4.3.8 CT ratio
This setting defines the value of the primary side of the CTs. The secondary side is assumed to be
5 A.
The primary value can be set between 50 A and 50000 A.
Refer to the Hardware Manual for more information about CT selection.
4.3.9 Invert CT polarity

This setting inverts the polarity of the measured CT current. This can be useful in cases where all
CTs have been connected the wrong way such that all three are 180 degrees out of phase and
physically correcting the mistake is difficult.
This setting can be either: Invert or Do not invert.
4.3.10 Number of parallel systems

When operating systems in parallel using open-loop CT measurement, without multi-master bus,
this setting is used to define the number of systems working in parallel.
When operating systems in parallel using the multi-master bus, this setting is
NOTE irrelevant. The total number of power modules on the bus is automatically
determined via the bus at every given moment.
This can be set from a Single system up to 16 systems in parallel.
4.3.11 Grounding system

This can be set to either TN/TT or IT depending on how the system has been grounded.
TN/TT means the system has a direct connection to earth.
IT means that the system has no direct connection to earth.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 25

The grounding systems are defined in IEC 60364.
4.3.12 Model key

The model key is typically entered during production of a system and sets the module type and
unlocks the full output current of the module. The system can be operated without a Model key, but
the output current is then locked to a maximum of 50 A per module.
The model key is unique to each SCC2 and is based on the SCC2 identifier. See Section 3.1.1 for
information on how to obtain the SCC2 identifier.
This key should only be changed if the system is upgraded or if a SCC2 is repurposed or replaced.
Also, if the system is updated from a software older than 1.4.8, a model key must be entered.
If an invalid model key has been entered, or if it is blank, a warning icon ( ) will be shown next to
the field after restart.
4.3.13 License key #1-4

For systems that has been delivered with license key activated options, up to four license keys can
be entered. License keys are locked to a particular SCC2 control computer using the unique SCC2
identifier. See Section 3.1.1 for information on how to obtain the SCC2 identifier.
If an invalid license key has been entered, a warning icon ( ) will be shown next to the field after
restart.
4.3.14 Reset default settings

When saving the system setup, you can choose to reset defaults settings for configuration and
compensation. This can be useful to ensure that the system has no old lingering settings when
performing a commissioning.
4.4 Evaluate the system diagnostics

After the system has restarted, the diagnostics window (Figure 9) will appear in the WUI.
The diagnostics consists of two series of automated tests that both need to be completed
successfully for the system to enter normal operation. The first series is performed with the system
in a stopped state. This mainly concerns measurements such as verifying phase order, phase
mapping and voltage levels. The second series will start the system and run it at idle for 30
seconds. This is to verify basic system operation. If any of the tests in the first series fail, the
runtime tests will not be performed.
If any of the diagnostic tests fail, FAILED will be written in red at the top of the window.
For each failed diagnostic test, an action to rectify the problem is suggested.
Turn off the system, correct the problem and start it up again to rerun the diagnostics. The system
will remain in diagnostics mode on subsequent restarts until all tests have been passed
successfully.
If diagnostic code 56 Detect CT current fails, an override button will be presented in the diagnostics
window (see figure below). Failing this diagnostic code means that the phase order and mapping of
the CT current cannot be checked since the amplitude of the signal is too low. The CT current in
RMS must be above 0.034 * CT primary. So, for 600/5 CT, above 0.034 * 600 A = 21 A. Click the
Override CT-current threshold check button followed by Restart system to rerun the diagnostics
without evaluating the CT current.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 26

Figure 8: Diagnostics window – with override current threshold check
A complete list of all diagnostic codes is available in Section 7.2.2.
⚠
ATTENTION: After running the unit, there is residual voltage in the DC capacitors
even after turning the unit completely off. Follow the instructions in the Hardware
Manual before commencing any work in the unit after a failed diagnostic attempt.
If all diagnostic tests succeed, PASSED is written in green at the top of the window. The system
will enter normal operation upon restart. Press the Restart system button to proceed.
Figure 9: Diagnostics window
4.5 Perform final system configuration

With the system and installation-specific configuration now verified, it is time to configure
everything else. This includes configuring compensation settings, network settings and digital input
and output settings. This is described in Section 5.
After everything has been configured, please verify the system performance using a power quality
instrument. Adjust the compensation settings if needed. The commissioning is now finished.

5 Configuration
5.1 Configuration settings
The Configuration settings window allows configuration of the non-commissioning settings to be
performed.
The Reset defaults button will reset all settings except for time and date to default values.
Figure 10: Configuration settings window
5.1.1 Date and time

This sets the time and date of the system’s real-time clock.
Date is represented as YYYY-MM-DD and time as HH:MM (24-hour format).
5.1.2 Language
This sets the language of the ADF dashboard. Available languages are: English, Swedish,
German and Chinese. The system must be restarted for a new language setting to take effect.
5.1.3 Temperature unit

This sets the temperature unit to be used when showing temperatures.
The setting can be either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
5.1.4 Autostart on boot

When enabled, the system will automatically start operation after the set delay following system
power-up and a completed pre-charge sequence.
This can be set to either, Disabled, Instant start, 10 seconds delay, 20 seconds delay, 30
seconds delay, 40 seconds delay, 50 seconds delay or 60 seconds delay.
5.1.5 Autorestart on alarm

When enabled, the system will automatically attempt to acknowledge and restart after an alarm
when the trigger condition is no longer active. The function supports up to 10 restarts in one hour, if
this is exceeded, no more automatic restarts will be performed, and the alarm must be manually
acknowledged.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 28

The setting can be either Enabled or Disabled.
5.1.6 Standby function

With the standby function, the ADF can be automatically put in standby mode (stopped) during
periods of low load current. This can help save energy and increase the lifetime of the ADF
components.
The setting can be either Enabled or Disabled.
The standby function has been redesigned in revision 2.0.0.

NOTE A software update to 2.0.0 or later will reset the standby function settings.
5.1.7 Standby wake-up level

This sets the level for when the standby function should start the system. It is defined as a
percentage of the maximum current the CT is rated for, which is assumed to be the primary part of
the CT ratio, i.e. 5000 A in case of a 5000/5 CT. In cases where summation CTs are used, this
should be the resulting primary rating after the summation CTs. The level is compared to the load
current in the fundamental, Iload,fund, to decide if the ADF should start.
Hovering the mouse pointer above the text will display the live value of Iload,fund, in percent. Since
this is what the entered start/stop levels are compared against, it is useful when tuning the standby
function.
Figure 11: Displaying live value of Iload,fund in percent
In multi-master mode, the master node will decide when standby should be entered and exited.
Since any node on the bus can become master, the same standby settings should be used on all
nodes on the bus.
NOTE The standby settings are not automatically replicated across the nodes on the
multi-master bus, this must be done manually.
For example, a setting of 20% on a system with 5000/5 CTs will make the system start when the
fundamental component of the load current reaches 1000 A.
The setting is defined from 0% to 100%.
5.1.8 Standby sleep level

This sets the level for when the standby function should put the system in to standby mode. It is
defined as a percentage of the Standby wake-up level, so if the ADF should start at 1000 A seen
on the fundamental component of the load current, a setting of 85% will make the filter go in to
standby mode at 850 A.
This setting is defined from 0% to 95%.
5.1.9 Standby wake-up delay

This sets for how long Iload,fund must be above Standby wake-up level, when in standby mode,
before the system is automatically started.
The setting is defined from 0 seconds to 300 seconds.
5.1.10 Standby sleep delay

This sets for how long Iload,fund must be below Standby sleep level, when in operation, before the
system is automatically put in standby mode.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 29

The setting is defined from 5 seconds to 300 seconds.
5.1.11 Resonance limit

Each harmonic enabled in the Compensation settings is monitored for resonance by looking at the
voltage harmonic in each frequency.
If the amplitude of a voltage harmonic exceeds the Resonance limit setting, the harmonic in
question will be stopped for one hour. After one hour has passed, the harmonic will be restarted.
The Resonance limit setting is defined as a percentage of the voltage amplitude in the fundamental
frequency and is can be set from 1% to 100%.
5.1.12 HMI default view

This sets the default measurement view to be shown in the HMI at startup. (Only valid for old style
HMI2, not for HMI3)
A list of the available views can be found in Table 20 on Page 56.
5.1.13 Digital outputs

The system is equipped with two relay outputs accessible on the X11 terminal of the system. One
is a dedicated alarm output and one, OUT1, is user-configurable.
Physically the relays are of 250 V / 5 A type and are Normally-Open when the system is powered
off.
5.1.13.1 Alarm output relay
The alarm output relay is activated if any alarm condition is triggered and will remain active until it
has been acknowledged or the system has been restarted. This can be used for external
monitoring of the system. The current alarm relay status is shown with a (0) or (1) icon right next to
Alarm output. (1) means that the relay is closed, and (0) that it is open.
The alarm relay logic can be set to either Normally-Open (NO) or Normally-Closed (NC) and
minimum activation time can be configured from 1 to 255 seconds. The activation of the alarm relay
will stay on for a minimum of the configured time.
5.1.13.2 User configurable relay
The user-programmable digital output relay OUT1 can be used for monitoring the system status
externally. The relay logic can be set to either Normally-Open (NO) or Normally-Closed (NC) and
the activation function can be programmed for this output relay. The current OUT1 relay status is
shown with a (0) or (1) icon next to the output. (1) means that the relay is closed, and (0) that it is
open.
The activation function for OUT1 can be set to one or more of the alarms, warnings or system
states listed in Table 21. Hold down the Ctrl key to select/unselect multiple items in the list. The
output will activate if one or more of the selected items are active.
The function of the configurable relay OUT1 has been redesigned in revision 2.0.0.
NOTE A software update to 2.0.0 or later will reset any previous OUT1 setting.
To avoid short pulses, the output will stay activated for at least one second.
5.1.14 Digital inputs

Digital inputs IN1, IN2 and IN3 are user-configurable and can be used to operate the system. The
current input status is shown with a (0) or (1) icon next to each input. (1) means that the input is
high, and (0) that it is low.
The inputs are available on the X11 terminal of the system.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 30

All digital inputs are of optically-coupled 24 VDC types and the logic can be set to either Active-Low
or Active-High. Each input can be programmed to trigger one the following events:
• Trigger alarm – Triggers the external alarm.

• Start system– Triggers a system start command.
• Stop system – Triggers a system stop command.
• Acknowledge alarm – Acknowledges all alarms.
• Use secondary compensation set – Secondary set of compensation settings will be used
when active.
• Start/stop system – Controls the filter operation using a single digital input. The filter will
start when the input transitions to the set trigger level and will stop when it transitions to the
opposite level. When the filter has reached its target state, no more start/stop commands
will be generated until the next transition of the input. This makes it possible to start/stop
the filter manually in between transitions.
⚠
ATTENTION: Do not mix digital input and Modbus TCP control commands to the same
function. Doing this will lead to unpredictable behavior.
For example, do not start and stop the system using both digital input and Modbus.
5.2 Compensation settings

This window allows configuration of all settings that concerns the compensation which is to be
performed by the system.
Using the dropdown menu in the title bar of the window, a second set of compensation settings can
be defined. If changes have been made to the primary set, save them by clicking Apply before
editing the secondary set, as changes otherwise will be lost.
The Reset defaults button will reset all parameters in the currently shown compensation set to
default values.
NOTE During multi-master parallel operation, the master will determine and override the
compensation set used in all online and running systems.
Switching between the two sets of compensation settings is done using the digital inputs or using
Modbus TCP. See Section 5.1.14 for more information.
Figure 12: Compensation settings window
In parallel operation, the compensation settings may only be changed on the current master node.
The slave nodes are automatically synchronized by the master node. Opening the compensation
settings window on a slave node will yield the following result:
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 31

Figure 13: Compensation settings window locked
5.2.1 PFC mode

Power factor correction can be configured as Disabled, Static, Dynamic, Dynamic (inductive) or
Dynamic (capacitive).
In static mode, a fixed amount of capacitive or inductive reactive power can be generated as
specified in the PFC Q setting. The maximum value of the PFC Q setting is defined by the rated
current output of the system in relation to the nominal system voltage.
In dynamic mode, the system will control the power factor measured on the CTs to the value
specified in the PFC setpoint setting. This value can be set between 0.5 inductive and 0.5
capacitive.
The inductive and capacitive dynamic modes lock the direction of compensation to either capacitive
or inductive. For example, in PFC dynamic mode with the PFC setpoint set to 0.9 inductive and the
power factor without compensation is 0.99 inductive, the system would worsen the situation by
outputting more inductive current. If instead the PFC dynamic (capacitive) mode had been set, the
system would only compensate from for example 0.80 (ind) to 0.90 (ind), not from 0.99 (ind) to 0.9
(ind).
5.2.2 Load balancing

The load balancing setting can be configured as Disabled, Line to Line, Line to Neutral** or both
Line to Line and Line to Neutral**.
When Line to Line load balancing is enabled, the system will compensate for imbalances between
phases.
In Line to Neutral, the compensation will take place between phases and the neutral connection.
5.2.3 Harmonics compensation

The harmonics compensation can be set to Disabled, Enabled (CT control), Enabled
(Sensorless Control).
NOTE Sensorless Control is a license key activated option. If you wish to use this feature,
please contact Comsys.
The degree of compensation is configurable in percent for each harmonic with 0% being no
compensation and 100% being complete elimination of the harmonic.
The harmonics are divided in to two categories, line to line harmonics and line to neutral**
harmonics.
Harmonics that can be compensated line to line are: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th,
17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 29th, 31st, 35th, 37th, 41st, 43rd, 47th and 49th.
And line to neutral*: 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 32

NOTE Even order harmonics support is a license key activated option. If you wish to use
For PP-module types PPM300v2B-3-A-50/480, PPM300v2B-3-A-75/480, PPM300v2B-3-A-

90/480, ADF P100v2B-50/480, ADF P100v2B-75/480 and ADF P100v2B-90/480, the total number
of harmonics enabled at once is limited to 26 for standard CT-based control and 6 when using
Sensorless Control. There is no limitation for other module types.
Support for unbalanced harmonics can be set to On or Off. This setting is useful in cases where a
harmonic is unevenly distributed across the phases. When support for unbalanced harmonics is
enabled, each line to line harmonic will consume two processing units instead of one. The
unbalance support can be individually turned off per harmonic by using clicking on the small arrow
icon by each harmonic. If a double arrow is shown ( ) it means unbalance support is on for that
harmonic, a single arrow ( ) means that unbalance support is disabled.
When open-loop is configured, phase angles (in units of degrees, 0-359 degrees) and amplitude (in
units of %, 60%-140%) calibration parameters can be entered for each harmonic. This may be
necessary in some situations to obtain ideal compensation results. Use an external measurement
device to find the calibration parameters.

5.3 Network settings

This window allows configuration of the TCP/IP networking parameters, multi-master settings for
parallel system operation and hostname settings of the system.
The reset defaults button will reset all network settings to default values.
All changes require the system to be restarted before taking effect.
Figure 16: Network settings window
5.3.1 TCP/IP networking settings

5.3.1.1 Address mode
This setting defines how the IP settings should be acquired and can be set to either Static IP or
Dynamic IP.
In Static IP mode, the entered IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway address will be used by the
system.
In Dynamic IP mode, the IP settings will be acquired using DHCP. The IP settings that has been
acquired using DHCP is shown under the About menu of the HMI.
5.3.1.2 IP address
This setting defines the IP address that the system should use when configured as Static IP.
The default value is 169.254.254.254 and is a link-local IP address.
The link-local IP address greatly reduces the need to reconfigure the client PC when connecting
directly to the ADF. When a client PC is set to obtain an IP address automatically, it will assign
itself a link-local address without any configuration necessary.
Please see Section 3.1.3 for more information on how to connect to the ADF.
If the ADF is to be connected to a network, the link-local address range must not be used.
Care should be taken not to assign the system an address that is already in use on
the network as this will cause trouble accessing both the ADF and the other host.
NOTE In case an invalid address has been entered, it is possible to reset the network
configuration to default values under the System admin menu of the HMI. See
Section 7.3.4 or Section 9.10 for more information.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 34

5.3.1.3 Subnet mask
This setting defines the subnet mask that the system should use when configured as Static IP.
The default value is 255.255.0.0.
5.3.1.4 Gateway address
This setting defines the gateway address that the system should use when configured as Static IP.
Unless the system should be accessible through a gateway, this field can safely be left blank.
The default value is 0.0.0.0.
5.3.1.5 Primary and secondary DNS addresses
These addresses are currently not used and can be left blank.
5.3.1.6 MAC address
This setting defines the MAC address to be used by the system.

The default value is automatically generated based on a unique system identifier and exists in the
locally-assigned address range.
5.3.1.7 Hostname
This setting defines the hostname of the system and can be up to 20 characters long and may only
contain characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, underscore (_) and hyphen (-).
This is used for identifying the system internally, such as in log files.
The default value is adf-default.
5.3.1.8 Admin Password
This setting allows the user to change the administrator password used when logging in to the ADF
Dashboard. The same password must be written identical twice in both boxes for the system to
accept the change.
When the administrator password is set, changing settings in the HMI will be locked. It is however
still possible to start and stop the system using the HMI.
The HMI can be unlocked with the Unlock setting, see Section 7.3.4 for more information.
NOTE Do not forget the changed password. If the changed password is forgotten,
Comsys must be contacted to restore the system.
5.3.2 Modbus TCP server

This setting controls if the built-in Modbus TCP server should be enabled or disabled.
Please see ‘Appendix A Modbus TCP server’ for more information.
5.3.3 Multi-master networking settings

The following section describes the multi-master parallel system feature. The bus requires a
hardware bus adapter that is sold as an option. Please refer to the relevant Hardware manual for
instructions on how to connect the multi-master bus.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 35

All systems on the same multi-master bus must have the same software revision.
NOTE Mixing software revisions may lead to unpredictable behavior and should be
avoided.
5.3.3.1 Configuration
This setting enables the multi-master feature and sets the number of nodes to expect on the bus.
Up to 15 nodes can be operated in parallel.
Available choices are: Multi-master disabled, 2 nodes on bus, 3 nodes on bus, …, 15 nodes
on bus.
The default setting is Multi-master disabled.
5.3.3.2 Node identifier
The node identifier is the node’s address when communicating on the bus.
This must be unique for each system that will participate in parallel operation.
Available choices are: Node 0, Node 1, Node 2, …, Node 14.
The default setting is Node 0.
5.3.3.3 Node check
The idea behind this function is to avoid conditions where the bus is split in to two independent
sides. Each side would act independently and potentially start competing against each other.
When enabled, the system will require at least half of the total number of nodes configured to be
online at every given moment. Should half or less than half of the total number of nodes be online,
the compensation will be disabled, and the warning MMerr / MM error will be visible in the HMI
display.
In some situations, this function should be disabled, for example when systems are taken out of
operation on the bus so that the function is preventing operation.
5.3.3.4 Bus status
Here the status of the multi-master bus is

presented. The status consists of whether the
node is online or offline and which node it
considers to be its master node.
5.3.3.5 Node status
Here the status of the other nodes on the bus is

presented. Displayed is the number of online
nodes and the number of running nodes.
Figure 17: Multi-master Networking Settings
Online nodes are indicated in green in the table.
5.4 Import and export settings

The software supports import and export of
settings. This makes it possible to store the
entire list of settings for archival purposes or to
clone settings between systems.
When cloning settings between systems, keep
in mind that some settings are unique for each
system, such as license/model keys, IP- Figure 18: Import and export settings buttons
address, multi-master node identifier etc., and
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 36

therefore may need to be changed after importing settings from another system.
5.4.1 Exporting settings

To export the settings, click the Export
settings button in the About window. (See
Figure 18)
You will now be prompted to download a file
with the name adf_settings_X.txt, where the
X is the serial number of the SCC2 (when
applicable).
The file contains plain text key/value pairs
describing the settings in the internal format
used by the SCC2. At the top is a header
containing various information about the
Figure 19: Exported settings file
system that exported the settings file.
It’s not recommended that the file is manually edited, with the following two exceptions:
1. User comments may be added after the header (i.e. after the last line starting with a %-
sign). Each user comment line must begin with a %-sign as the very first character.
2. Key/value lines may be deleted to customize which settings the file should contain.
Settings that does not exist in the file will not be changed when importing.
5.4.2 Importing settings

To import a settings file, click the Update
software / import settings button in the About
window. (See Figure 18)
Click Browse/Select File button, select a
settings file from the file system and click Open.
You will now be presented with the window
shown in Figure 20. Choose which groups to
import by checking/unchecking the checkbox for
each group and then click Import selected
settings to import them.
If either System setup, License/model key or
Network settings groups has been selected, you Figure 20: Importing settings file
must restart the system before the changes
take effect. If System setup or License/model
key has been selected, System setup mode will
be forced after restart.
After importing the settings, you will be
presented with the window shown in Figure 21.
Here you will see the number of setting items
that were imported, and the Reset computer
button can be clicked to restart the SCC2. Figure 21: Settings file imported

6 Operation and monitoring

This section describes how to operate and monitor the ADF P100/P300.
6.1 System states and Events

The Events window gives insight in to the system events, alarms and warnings, both as a
chronological list and tables for alarms and warnings.
See Table 21 for a complete list of all system events, alarms and warnings.
If the system detects an issue in its operation, it will trigger an alarm. This alarm will stop the
system and a log file will be generated.
Warnings are triggered in very much the same way as alarms, but do not stop the system. This
indicates an issue that are not as urgent as an alarm, but the presence of warnings should still be
investigated.
By default, only active alarms and warnings are shown. By clicking on the buttons Show all alarms
or Show all warnings, all items can be shown.
Figure 22: The Events window
6.1.1 Acknowledging alarms

To restart the system after an alarm, it must be acknowledged. This is done using the Acknowledge
alarm button in the Events window. If the alarm conditions are no longer present, it will be possible
to start the system again.
Acknowledging the alarms will automatically reset the log data recorder.
For persistent alarm conditions, the alarm will immediately be triggered again upon
acknowledgement. Doing a hard restart using the switch in the door or the PIB can be necessary in
this case.
For frequently occurring alarms that cannot be explained by external factors, thorough investigation
of the root cause is recommended to avoid system damage.
Please refer to Table 21 for more information about the alarms.
The system can be configured to automatically restart after an alarm, providing that the fault
condition has ceased. Please see Section 5.1.5 for more information.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 38

6.1.2 Log data recorder

The log function continuously records system data in such a way that if an alarm is triggered, it
contains data from both before and after the alarm. The log file can be downloaded directly in the
Event window but is also accessible on the SD-card.
The log file is a valuable tool for system troubleshooting and should be downloaded and attached
when requesting support.
Besides triggering automatically when an alarm becomes active, it can also be manually triggered
and reset. This is useful when requesting support on a running system, as the recorded data will
show how the ADF was operating.
To trigger the log data recorder when running, click Trigger. It will take up to half a minute to store
the log file on to the SD-card, after this the file can be downloaded. To reset the log data recorder,
click Reset. Manually triggered log files will automatically be reset after 5 minutes, however they
will still be available for download on the SD-card, through the chronological list.
When manually triggering the log, especially when the ADF is in operation, ensure
NOTE that it is reset immediately after the log file has been downloaded. If the log is
already triggered and the ADF trips on an alarm, the alarm event will not be
recorded.
Do not manually reset the log function if an alarm is active. The log will be
NOTE immediately triggered again and will no longer contain the moment when the ADF
tripped on the alarm. The old log file can however still be downloaded from the SD-
card using the chronological list.
6.1.3 States and events

After the commissioning procedure has been completed, the system will always start in Normal
operation mode when energized. In this mode, the system can be in one of the states shown in
Figure 23 below.
Autostart
Standby
Power up Pre-charge Stopped Ready Starting Operating
Trip
Figure 23: System states
• State: Pre-charging
In this state, the DC-bus is charged to allow the system to be started. When it is fully charged, the
system will go to the Stopped state.
• State: Stopped
In this state, the system can be started and will continue to the Ready state when such a command
is received. The contactor(s) are commanded to be open in this state.
• State: Autostart
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 39

In this state, the system is about to autostart according to the setting found in the Configuration
settings window.
• State: Standby
In this state, the system is waiting for the load current start threshold to be reached before the
system is automatically started.
• State: Ready
In this state, the contactor(s) will close and the system will go to the Starting state.
• State: Starting
In this state, the system is being started up and the compensation is ramped up to its final value.
The Operating state is then entered.
• State: Operating
In this state, the system is in full operation and performing the desired compensation. Upon
receiving a stop command, the system will go to the Stopped state.
• State: Tripped
In this state, the system has stopped on an alarm which is preventing the system from being able
to be started. When all alarms have been acknowledged, the system will go to the Pre-charge
state.
6.2 Starting and stopping

When the DC-bus is fully charged the system is ready to be started.
Start and stop commands can be generated:
• Manually – Buttons in the toolbar can be used to start and stop the system.
• By automatic start – A start command can be automatically generated following power up
and after a programmable delay without user intervention.
• By automatic restart – When enabled, the system will automatically attempt to restart after
alarms.
• By digital input – The digital inputs can be used to generate start and stop commands.
• By Modbus TCP – Modbus can be used to generate start and stop commands.
6.3 Measurement
The Measurement window shows power quality data which can be of interest when evaluating the
performance of the system. The following parameters are shown:

6.6 Software update

The software in both the SCC2 as well as the HMI3 can be updated directly in the WUI. A Comsys-
provided software image is uploaded to the SCC2 and depending on the detected file type, either
the SCC2 or HMI3 can be flashed after user confirmation of this action. A checksum prevents

7.3.1 Compensation setup menu

The Compensation setup menu and Compensation setup menu (secondary) allows configuration of
all parameters described in Section 5.2.
The concept of a harmonic processing unit budget described in Section 5.2 is

important to understand as the HMI lack the clear feedback that is presented in the
WUI when the budget is used up.
NOTE This is however mainly a concern when operating a 4-wire system or when
enabling the Unbalanced harmonic support setting as the budget cannot be fully
used up otherwise.
Table 12: Compensation setup menu

PFC mode PFC mode OFF Selects Power Factor Correction mode:
OFF = Disabled, DYN = Dynamic compensation based on PFC
setpoint, STAT = Fixed kVAR of reactive power, DYNi = Dynamic
compensation in inductive direction only, DYNc = Dynamic
compensation in capacitive direction only.
PFC setpoint PFC setp. 0,97 ind Setpoint for Power factor in DYN mode:
Value: 0,5 inductive to 0,5 capacitive, step 0,01
PFC Q PFC Q 0 Fixed reactive power in STAT mode.
Value: MAX inductive … 0 … MAX capacitive* (rating of
system), step 1 kVAR
Load Balancing Load bal. OFF Selects load balancing mode:
OFF = disabled, LL = Line to Line, LN = Line to Neutral**,
LL&LN = Line to Line and Line to Neutral**
Harmonic Harm.comp OFF Enables or disables harmonic compensation globally
compensation Value: OFF = Disabled, CT (Enabled with CT control), VOLT

Time Time 00:00 Sets the system time: HH:mm
Temp unit Temp unit C Selects default temperature unit:
Value: F(Fahrenheit) or C(Celsius)
Standby function Stndby OFF Controls the standby function:
OFF = Standby function is disabled
ON = System will automatically start and stop depending on
the load.
Standby wake-up Stndby.wk 20% Controls the threshold over which the system will wake-up
threshold when in standby mode.
This is defined as a percentage of the maximum rated CT
current seen on the load current in fundamental frequency.
Example: If the CT is 500/5 and the setting 20%, the filter
will start when the load current in fundamental frequency is
greater than 500 * 0.2 = 100 A.
Can be set between 0% and 100%.

Standby sleep Stndby.sl 85% Controls the threshold under which the system will go to
threshold sleep when the standby function is enabled.
This is defined as a percentage of the Standby wake-up
threshold setting.
Given a 500/5 CT ratio, a start threshold of 20% and a stop
threshold of 85%, the filter will go in to standby mode when
the load current in fundamental frequency goes below 500 *
0.2 * 0.85 = 85 A.

Standby wake-up Stndby.wk.d 0s Sets for how long the wake-up threshold must be exceeded
delay before the system is started when in standby mode.
Can be set between 0 s and 300 s.
Standby sleep delay Stndby.sl.d 60 s Sets for how long the sleep threshold must be stayed under
before the system is stopped and put in standby mode.
Resonance limit Resonance.l 20% Sets the limit in voltage amplitude for each harmonic. When
exceeded, the harmonic in question will be blocked for one
hour. After one hour, the harmonic will again be activated.
This is defined as a percentage of the voltage amplitude in
the fundamental frequency.

Disabled = Autostart disabled
Instant = Autostart enabled with instant start
10 seconds, 20 seconds, …, 60 seconds = Autostart enabled with startup
delay
Autorestart Disabled Controls the autorestart function. Allows for a maximum of 10 restart attempts
in an hour.
Disabled = Autorestart after alarm is disabled
Enabled = Autorestart after alarm is enabled
Date 20000101 Sets the system date with YYYY as four-digit year, MM as month, and DD as
day: YYYYMMDD
Time 000000 Sets the system time with HH as hour (24 hours), mm as minutes and ss as
seconds: HHmmss
Temp unit Celsius Selects default temperature unit:
Value: Fahrenheit or Celsius
Standby – Standby Disabled Controls the standby function:
enable Disabled = Standby function is disabled
Enabled = System will automatically start and stop depending on the load.
Standby – Wake-up level 20% Controls the threshold over which the system will wake-up when in standby
mode.
This is defined as a percentage of the maximum rated CT current seen on the
load current in fundamental frequency.
Example: If the CT is 500/5 and the setting 20%, the filter will start when the
load current in fundamental frequency is greater than 500 * 0.2 = 100 A.

Standby – Sleep level 85% Controls the threshold under which the system will go to sleep when the
standby function is enabled.
This is defined as a percentage of the Standby wake-up threshold setting.
Given a 500/5 CT ratio, a start threshold of 20% and a stop threshold of 85%,
the filter will go in to standby mode when the load current in fundamental
frequency goes below 500 * 0.2 * 0.85 = 85 A.

Standby – Wake-up delay 0s Sets for how long the wake-up threshold must be exceeded before the system
is started when in standby mode.
Standby – Sleep delay 60 s Sets for how long the sleep threshold must be stayed under before the system
is stopped and put in standby mode.
Can be set between 5s and 300 s.
Resonance lim 20% The resonance limit setting sets the limit in voltage amplitude for each
harmonic. When exceeded, the harmonic in question will be blocked for one
hour. After one hour, the harmonic will again be activated.
This is defined as a percentage of the voltage amplitude in the fundamental
frequency.

Appendix A Modbus TCP server

This section outlines the Modbus TCP server implementation.
The Modbus TCP server can be reached via TCP as well as UDP on port 502 of the IP-address
configured in Section 0.
All registers described below are so called holding registers. The following two function codes (Fc)
are supported for manipulating and reading out the registers:
• Fc 3: Read multiple registers

• Fc 16: Write multiple registers
The registers are divided in to groups by their function. It’s recommended that operations are
performed on an entire group at once. For example, reading out the status registers can be done in
one operation of Fc 3: Read multiple registers, the same way that the control registers can be set in
one operation of Fc 16: Write multiple registers.
The register map starts at address 0 and each word is 16-bits long. For variables larger than 16-
bits, little-endian word order is used. This means that the word containing the most significant bit
comes before the word containing the least significant bit.
Some Modbus TCP implementations use address 1 as the very first address in the
NOTE address range. In those cases, address 1 is equivalent to address 0 in this
document, address 2 is equivalent to address 1 in this document and so forth.

A.2 Control registers

This group of registers allows the manipulation of the system state similar to what can be done
using the Digital inputs.
ATTENTION: Do not mix digital input and Modbus TCP control commands to the
⚠
same function. Doing this will lead to unpredictable behavior.
For example, do not start and stop the system using both digital input and Modbus
TCP.

0 = Do nothing
0200 c_start 16-bit integer
1 = Start the system
0 = Do nothing
0201 c_stop 16-bit integer
1 = Stop the system
0 = Do nothing

Reactive current to be outputted by the ADF.
The unit is whole amperes per PPM.
Value: -MAX* (inductive) … 0 … MAX*
(capacitive)
* MAX is the rated maximum output current per
0206 c_sp_ifund_reactive 16-bit integer
power module in the system.
Example: To output 225 A on a system with 3

power modules, this variable should be set to
75.
© 2018 Comsys AB 1 199 172 – REV21 71

A.3 Compensation settings

This group of registers allows reading out and manipulation of the primary and secondary
compensation setting groups.
It is important that the minimum, maximum and step attributes of each register is respected.
Attempting to write an illegal value to any register below will yield error code 4 (FAILURE) and the
entire operation will be aborted.
During multi-master parallel operation, these settings can only be changed on the master node;
attempting to change the settings on the slave will yield error code 4 (FAILURE).
The compensation settings will be automatically synchronized with the slave nodes via the multi-
master bus. When this synchronization is in progress, attempting to write to these registers will
yield error code 6 (BUSY). It is therefore recommended to check the return status when writing to
the registers.
To store the updated settings to flash, the last register write_flash should be set to 1. When
updating the settings often, please avoid writing them to flash as the flash memory has a finite
number of write cycles.
⚠ ATTENTION: The flash memory can handle a minimum of 400,000 write cycles.
Exceeding this number can destroy the flash memory.
