HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

A person's normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand volts.Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits can cause seriousdamage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced.

The electronic circuits of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd products are immune to the relevant levels ofelectrostatic discharge when housed in their cases. Do not expose them to the risk of damage by withdrawingmodules unnecessarily.

Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor devices. However, if itbecomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following precautions should be taken to preserve the highreliability and long life for which the equipment has been designed and manufactured.

1. Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as the equipment bytouching the case.

2. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board.Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors.

3. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are both at the same electrostaticpotential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.

4. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the samepotential as yourself.

5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.

More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in BS5783 andIEC 60147-0F.

If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an equipment in service, it is preferablethat you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist strap.Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k 10M ohms. If a wrist strap is not available,you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent the build up of static. Instrumentation which maybe used for making measurements should be earthed to the case whenever possible.

ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd strongly recommends that detailed investigations on the electroniccircuitry, or modification work, should be carried out in a Special Handling Area such as described in BS5783or IEC 60147-0F.

Section 3. APPLICATION NOTES

3.1 Settings and records3.1.1 Off-line and on-line devices

The settings and records application presents two windows to the user. The firstis a representation of the off-line settings as edited in the PC, which is openedvia the file new or file open menu options. The second view, once a connectionto the relay has been established, is a representation of the connected (on-line)relay. The on-line relay window does not display the relay settings or theircolumn headings. However, where supported, the on-line window lists thesettings groups provided within the device and visually indicates the currentlyactive settings group. Also where supported by the device, the right hand paneof the on-line window displays a list of the setting cells that can be reset or thestatus of the breakers and isolators by selecting either the reset cells or breakersicons as appropriate in the left hand pane of the window. The transfer of settingsbetween the PC and the connected relay has been made easier by the provisionof drag and drop between windows. The feature also facilitates the transfer ofsingle or multiple settings groups to or from the device. Similar transactions canbe achieved using copy and paste and the send to commands in theappropriate context sensitive menus.

3.1.2 Validation Check

A validation check has been provided for device settings files. Validation can beselected when a setting file is opened to ensure the settings conform to anychanges that would normally have been imposed by the relay dependency file.Any unresolved errors are logged within an error file which can be viewed oncompletion of the validation process.

Page 11

It is advised you review the settings to ensure that no inadvertent changes havebeen made.

3.1.3 Binary Setting FilesVersions of PAS&T and ACCESS software earlier than version 3.2 createdbinary settings files with the extension *.bin. These files can be converted to the*.set format by loading them via the File Open dialog and then saving.

3.2 Programmable scheme logic editor

Although scheme logic settings can be obtained from a connected MiCOMP*40 series relay, it is advisable instead to open the file on the PC. Thegraphical representation of the scheme logic settings are then exactly asoriginally created, whereas some of the graphical information is lost whensupplied by a relay.

Note, however, that the scheme is always logically correct, whether loadedfrom file or relay.

3.3 Monitoring

The test item cannot be configured via the monitoring application. Theconfiguration must be selected via the front panel of the device.

3.4 Menu text editor

When sending a customised language text file to a device, it is advisable not tooverwrite any languages in the MiCOM P*40 series relay that may be requiredby third-party Commissioning Engineers. It is therefore advisable to send the newversion to one of the alternative language areas.

Section 4. COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

The settings and records, programmable scheme logic editor and monitoringapplications, communicates with the device using the Courier language.

The interface with the device is a connection between a RS232 serial port on thePC and the RS232 serial port on the device. For devices that only support K-Busthe RS232 serial port of the PC must be connected to the RS232 port of a KITZinterface unit.

The Menu Text Editor communicates with MiCOM P*40 series relays using a 25pin D-type connector with straight-through connectors from the parallel port.

Page 12

4.1.2 Connection of protective ground

Protective ground should be connected to the cable screen. The connectiondiagrams below for each type of device do not show the protect groundconnection. For all cables the cable screen should be connected to protectiveground. That is, for a 25 pin connector to pin 1 and the connector shell, and fora 9 pin connector to the connector shell alone. It is normal to make theprotective ground connection at both ends of the cable. The connection ofprotective ground is particularly important on long cables. Cables should notexceed the RS232 recommended length of 15m.

4.1.10 Connection to KITZ 201Connections to be used for direct connection between a PC and a KITZ 201Multi-Port Interface unit. The KITZ 201 can have up to 3 RS232 ports dependingon the configuration of the device. The connections shown below can be usedfor connecting to any of these three ports. When connected to the front port (P0)the connections shown below are correct when switch SW1 is set to DTE.

Note: Signal lines with names enclosed in brackets are only required if the portis configured with Modem menu option set to Enabled. For morecomprehensive information on connecting to a KITZ 201 consult the KITZ201 User Manual.

4.2 Connection using a Modem link

If a modem link is required between the PC and the device, the link must besetup using the Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 operating system facilities.The Modem Properties setup program can be opened by clicking on theModems icon in the Control Panel of the Windows operating system.

4.3 Modem support

The IEC60870 FT1.2 protocol requires the need for the Modem to support aneleven bit asynchronous frame, and for data frames to be transmitted withoutidle periods between the constituent characters.

This requirement improves the data integrity of the frame under noisy conditionsas there are no periods where a noise pulse on an idle line can be read as astart bit and cause misframing.

The additional protocol based on the IEC60870 FT1.2 omits the parity bit. Thisprotocol is less secure as one of the error checks has been discarded, butincreases the range of suitable Modems.
