2.3 Product description

The A-ISOMETER® type IRDH275 monitors the insulation resistance of IT systems. It is suitable for universal use in 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems. AC systems may include extensive DC supplied loads, such as converters or thyristor-controlled DC drives. The device automatically adapts itself to the existing system leakage capacitance.
Suitable coupling devices are available to extend the nominal voltage range U
.
n
The IRDH275B can be used in combination with a control and indicating de­vice, e.g. PRC1470 version 2 or higher, on the BMS (BMS = Bender Measur­ing Device Interface) bus.

2.4 Function

The A-ISOMETER® IRDH275 is connected between the unearthed system (IT system) and the protective conductor (PE). The response values and other function parameters are set via the function keys. The parameters are indicated on the LC display and are stored in a non­volatile memory (EEPROM) after the setting is completed. A microprocessor-controlled pulsating AC measuring voltage is superim­posed on the IT system to be monitored ( measuring principle*). The measuring cycle consists of positive and negative pulses of the same ampli­tude. The period of these pulses depends on the respective system leakage capacitances and the insulation resistances of the IT system to be monitored. An insulation fault between the IT system and earth closes the measuring cir­cuit. From the measured current value, the microprocessor calculates the in­sulation resistance which is indicated on the LC display or the external kΩ measuring instrument. The measuring time is determined by the system leakage capacitances, the insulation resistance, and the system-related interference disturbances. Sys­tem leakage capacitances do not influence the measuring accuracy. If the reading is below the selected response values Alarm 1/Alarm 2, the as­sociated alarm relays respond and the alarm LEDs "Alarm 1/2“ light up and the measuring value is indicated on the LC display (in the event of DC insu­lation faults, the faulty supply line is indicated). If the terminals R1/R2 are bridged (external RESET button [NC contact] or wire bridge), the fault indi­cation will be stored. Pressing the RESET button, resets the insulation fault

*) measuring principle "adaptive measuring pulse", a measuring principle developed by BENDER (European Patent: EP 0 654 673 B1).
Self test
A self test can be carried out manually using the TEST button or automatical­ly. In order to guarantee high functional reliability, the A-ISOMETER® IRDH275 provides comprehensive self test functions. After switching the supply voltage on, all internal measuring functions, the components of the process control such as data and parameter memory as well as system and earth connections are checked using the self test functions. The progress of the self test is indicated on the display by a bar graph. Depending on the conditions in the IT system to be monitored, the self test is running for
15...20 seconds, then the message "Test ok!" appears on the LC display for
approximately 2 seconds. Then the device returns to normal measuring mode and the current measuring value is displayed after the expiry of the measuring time. When a device error or connection fault is found, the message "!Error!" ap­pears on the display, the device fault LED lights up, the relay K2 (21-22-24) switches and the respective fault message (see table) is indicated. If such a device fault occurs, a self test is started again every minute. If no more mal­function is detected, the fault message is deleted automatically and the device fault LED extinguishes.
During operation, the self test function can be started by pressing the TEST button (internal or external). The self test can also be started automatically every hour or every 24 hours by selecting "ISO ADVANCED: Autotest" menu. The alarm relays Alarm1/2 only switch after starting the self test function by pressing the TEST button, that means if an automatic self test has been se­lected, the alarm relays do not switch.

2.5 Additional functions IRDH275B

Current output for external measuring instrument
The current output of IRDH275B provides 0(4)...20 mA. The current output is galvanically isolated from the device electronics and the RS485 interface. The ISO SETUP menu, on page 43, allows to switch over between 0...20 mA and 4...20 mA.
Real-time clock
The real-time clock serves as a time base for the memory and self test func­tions. At first, the correct time and date must be set in the menu "ISO AD­VANCED". If time and date are not set, a „C“ (clock) is flashing in the standard display. In the event of a supply voltage failure, time and date will be stored for at least thirty days. If the 24 h test is activated in the "ISO ADVANCED" menu, a special time of day can be selected for the execution of the self test in the menu "TEST: 12:00". Then a self test will be started automatically once a day exactly at the preset time. If the 1 h auto test has been selected, the self test is automatically carried out every full hour.
Interconnected IT systems
When using A-ISOMETERs® in IT systems, make sure that only one active A-ISOMETER® is connected in each interconnected system. If IT systems are interconnected via coupling switches, make sure that A-ISOMETERs® not currently used are disconnected and deactivated via a control system. IT sys­tems coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the insulation monitoring process. Hence, also in this case a central control of the different A-ISOMETERs® is required.
Function input F1/F2 for connection or disconnection of IT systems being monitored
The A-ISOMETER® can be disconnected from the IT system and set to STANDBY mode with the function input F1/F2. If the input F1/F2 is bridged, the connections L1/L2 are switched off via internal coupling relays, the meas­uring function is stopped and the message "STANDBY" appears on the dis­play. Software version 1.4 or higher does not indicate the measured insulation resistance during the disconnection, but indicates the value > 10 MΩ. Furthermore, the alarm relays and alarm LEDs no longer provide alarm messages. After opening the function input F1/F2, the connection to the IT system will be restored and a completely new measuring cycle for in-
TGH1361en/11.2009

Page 16
Function
sulation monitoring is started. With this function, selective disconnection of an IRDH275 in interconnected IT systems can be carried out via auxiliary contacts of the respective coupling switch. One coupling switch each in a line-type or ring-type arrangement can deactivate a subsequent IRDH275. This arrangement guarantees that only one A-ISOMETER® is active in each galvanically connected system. In a ring­type arrangement with all coupling switches closed, it can be assumed that all A-ISOMETER®s are deactivated. In order to prevent this, a BMS Master (IRDH275B BMS address 1) monitors the condition of the function input F1/ F2 of all slave A-ISOMETERs®. When all slave A-ISOMETERs® are in the STANDBY mode, the insulation monitoring function of the Master A-ISOMETER® and hence the function input F1/F2 of the Master are without function in this mode. Details are shown in the graphic below.

ISOnet Function (COM SETUP)
Select "ISOnet=ON" from the COM SETUP menu to activate this function. This function is a type of scanning function. The BMS Master activated via the ISOnet function controls the ISOnet slave devices via the BMS bus. Once an A-ISOMETER® has finished its measurement cycle, the authorization for measuring the insulation resistance is passed on from the ISOnet Master to the next slave. While an A-ISOMETER® is carrying out a measurement all other A-ISOMETERs® are in the STANDBY mode. In this way it can be pre­vented that the A-ISOMETERs® disturb each other in interconnected sys­tems. In comparison to the solution coupling switches and function input F1/ F2, the response time is prolonged, since no continuous measurement takes place. The advantage is that no auxiliary contacts of a coupling switch are required. Furthermore, this solution is ideally suited for capacitive IT systems or IT systems connected via diodes. An ISOnet slave checks whether there is a Master available in the network. If there is no Master available, the fault message "ISOnet Master?" appears on the display. When the ISOnet function is activated, the function input F1/F2 will be disconnected.

4. Connection

4.1 Wiring

Connect the terminals A1/+ and A2/- to the supply voltage US in accordance with IEC 60364-4-43. The connections to the supply voltage shall be provid­ed with protective devices to afford protection in the event of a short circuit (a 6 A fuse is recommended).
Devices for protection against short-circuit in conformity with IEC 60364-4­43 for the IT system coupling L1/L2 can be omitted if the wiring is carried out in such a manner as to reduce the risk of a short-circuit to a minimum (a short-circuit-proof and earth-fault-proof wiring is recommended).
Only one A-ISOMETER® may be connected to an external TEST or RESET button. A galvanic parallel connection of several TEST and RESET inputs for collective testing of A-ISOMETER®s is not permitted.
External coupling devices connected via the terminal AK cannot be switched off via the internal coupling relays. If no coupling device is used, the terminal AK remains free.

The maximum DC voltage is the voltage permitted to occur in the AC part of an IT system to PE when the IRDH275 is coupled with AGH204S-4 in this part of the system. This voltage is dependent on the level of the nominal volt­age, the type of rectification 6 pulse, 12 pulse,...), the type of converter in­termediate circuit (current... or voltage...), and the converter technology. In case of converters, the maximum DC voltage in the intermediate circuit usu­ally corresponds to the phase-to-phase voltage of the supplying AC system multiplied by 1.414.

TGH1361en/11.2009
Page 29
Connection
In case of current-controlled intermediate circuits of frequency converters, higher DC voltages are to be expected.
The given voltage values for AC/DC systems take into account values found by previous experience (factor 1.414 between DC voltage and AC voltage). The maximum DC voltage in case of insulation faults in the DC part of the IT system, for example converter intermediate circuit, is DC 1840 V. From this, the maximum nominal AC voltage is calculated: U
= DC 1840 V / 1.414 = AC 1300 V

5.2 Menu structure and menu mode

Switchover to the menu mode
After pressing the MENU key, you can change from the standard mode to the menu mode. From the menu mode you can link to the different sub menus.
Navigation within the menu
Select the desired menu item using the UP/DOWN keys. The selected menu item is indicated by a flashing cursor. Press the ENTER key to open the as­sociated sub menu. Use the UP/DOWN keys again to select the desired parameters. Move the cursor to the edit field by pressing the ENTER key. If you have reached the end of the main menu list, it will be indicated by the "Arrow UP" symbol.
Changing the parameters
When password protection is activated, indicated by the symbol "padlock closed" , the first thing to enter is the correct password before the pa­rameters can be changed using the UP/DOWN keys. Entering the correct password once allows all parameters to be changed as long as you do not leave the menu.
Changing the parameter usually has an immediate effect on the measuring and alarm functions. The changed parameter is stored in a volatile memory by pressing the ENTER or ESC key after returning to the sub menu (flashing cursor in column 1). During menu operations, all measuring and alarm func­tions carry on working as usual in the background.
Changing from the menu mode to the standard mode
Pressing the ESC key allows fast changing from the menu mode to the stand­ard mode. Thus, the menu item "EXIT" need not to be activated. Automatic switchover from the menu mode to the standard mode takes place when no key is pressed for approximately 5 minutes in a main or sub menu.

Factory setting = 150 µF.

5.5.3 Changing the measuring principle from AMP to DC (Measure: AMP)

The DC measuring principle is only suitable for pure AC systems. Factory setting = AMP.

5.5.4 Setting the repetition time for automatic self tests (Autotest: 24h)

The time for the repetition of automatic self tests can either be set to 1 hour or to 24 hours or can be deactivated. Factory setting = 24 h

5.5.5 Setting the real-time clock (Clock) (IRDH275B)

The setting of the real-time clock is the time base for the memory and for the automatic self test. In case of failure of the supply voltage, the real-time clock keeps running for approximately 30 days. When the device will be switched on after this period, a flashing "C" appears on the display and the clock has to be set again.

5.5.6 Setting the date (Date) (IRDH275B)

As well as the time, the date is required for the memory, too. In the event of power supply failure, the date function is not influenced for at least 30 days. If the device is switched on again after this period, a new setting of date and time of the real-time clock is required.

5.5.7 Specifying the starting time of the automatic self test (Test) (IRDH275B)

If the 24h self test is activated in the ISO ADVANCED menu, it is possible to set the time (hour) when the self test is to be carried out by means of the "TEST: 12:00" sub menu. Then the self test is automatically carried out once a day at a given time. If the 1 hour auto test has been selected, the self test will be carried out at every full hour.

5.6 Menu COM SETUP: Setting the BMS interface

5.6.1 Bus address „Addr:“ (IRDH275B)

This menu item is used to set the BMS bus address of the IRDH275. Since there are several A-ISOMETERs in one system, take care that the bus address is not assigned twice. The device is factory set to address 3 and hence acts as a slave.
If several IRDH275 are operated on one BMS bus, the addresses of other A-ISOMETERs must be assigned one after the other, since only one de­vice may represent the Master.

5.6.2 ISOnet function (IRDH275B)

In the ISOnet = ON sub menu of the COM SETUP, the ISOnet function can be set. The ISOnet function of all A-ISOMETERs existing in the system must be in "ON" position. A BMS Master with the ISOnet function activated, controls the ISOnet slave devices via the BMS bus. If an A-ISOMETER® has completed the measuring cycle, the permission for insulation measurement is given from the ISOnet Master to the next slave. During the measurement process carried out by an A-ISOMETER®, all other A-ISOMETERs® are in the STANDBY mode.

5.6.3 ISO monitor (IRDH275B)

This function allows to query the current measured value as well as the mes­sages of all bus-capable A-ISOMETERs existing in the BMS network. After se­lecting the bus address, the entire information stored by the selected device is indicated on the display. The display indication is structured similar to the standard indication, but instead of the indication of the measuring pulse, the selected bus address is indicated. Without pressing a key, the indication changes to the standard indication of the IRDH275B after about five minutes. If there is no information available from the selected A-ISOMETER®, the message "!!!!NO DATA!!!!" will be displayed.

IRDH275B

6.1 RS485 interface with IsoData protocol (IRDH275)

Data transmission is continuously carried out and can neither be interrupted by the data slave station nor be influenced in any other way. This protocol cannot be used in combination with the BMS protocol. For data evaluation via PC or Laptop, the terminal software "IsoData" and an interface converter of the ASCII-RS485/RS232 type is required.
Interface data:
z RS485 interface galvanically isolated from the device electronics
z Connection to terminal A and B
z Maximum cable length 1200 m
z Transmission protocol 9600 baud - 1 start bit - 1 stop bit - 8 data bit
z After each valid measurement, the following data block is provided:
-galvanically isolated
-ASCII, unidirectional
-RS485 and BMS protocol

6.2 RS485 interface with BMS protocol (IRDH275B)

The RS485 interface galvanically isolated from the device electronics and cur­rent output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS protocol. If several IRDH275B or other bus-capable devices are interconnected in a network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω resistor. An RS485 network that is not terminated, is likely to get instable and may result in malfunctions. Only the first and the last device in one line may be terminated. Devices in between must not be terminated with 120 Ω. Hence, stub feeders in the network must not be terminated. The length of the stub feeders is restricted to 1 meter.

6.3 Topology RS485 network (IRDH275B)

The optimum topology for the RS485 network is a daisy-chain connection. In this connection, device 1 is connected to device 2, device 2 to device 3, device 3 to device n etc. The RS485 network represents a continuous path without branches.

6.3.1 Correct arrangement

Three examples for correct arrangement:

6.3.2 Wrong arrangement

Three examples for wrong arrangement:

6.3.3 Wiring

A suitable type of cable for the wiring of the RS485 network is: screened cable, core diameter 0.6 mm (e.g. J-Y(St)Y 2 x 0.6), screen on one side connected to earth (PE). Connection to the terminals A and B. The number of bus nodes is restricted to 32 devices. When more devices are to be connected, Bender recommends to use an RS485 repeater DI1.

6.4 BMS protocol (IRDH275B)

This protocol is an essential part of the Bender Measuring Device Interface. Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters. Interface data are:
z Baud rate:9600 baud
z transmission:1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit (1, 7, E, 1)
z Parity:even
z Checksum:sum of all transmitted bytes = 0 (without CR and LF)
The BMS bus protocol works according to the MASTER-SLAVE principle. That means that one device represents the MASTER while all other bus nodes are SLAVES. It is important that only one MASTER is present in each net­work. All bus nodes are identified by a unique address. The MASTER scans all other devices on the bus cyclically, listens to their signals and then carries out specific commands. Bus address 1 must be assigned to the Master, thus to one of the IRDH275B devices.

6.4.1 BMS Master

A Master can query all warning and operating messages from a slave. If the bus address 1 has been selected for one IRDH275B, this device auto­matically represents the Master, that means that all addresses between 1 and 150 are cyclically scanned via the BMS bus for alarm and operating messages. If the Master receives no answer from five subsequent addresses, the scan­ning cycle is started again. If the Master recognizes incorrect answers from a slave, the fault message "Fault RS485" is issued by the Master.
Fault RS485 Rs=011k
Faults may be caused when:
z addresses are assigned twice
z a second master exists on the BMS bus
z interference signals occur on the bus lines
z a defective device is connected to the bus
z terminating resistors are not activated

Serial interfaces

6.4.2 BMS Slave

All IRDH275B are factory set to slave mode (address 3). In a BMS network, one address must be selected from the address range 2...30 for each slave. There may be no gaps of more than five subsequent addresses, so that all slaves can be scanned by the Master. For IRDH275B a BMS address can be selected from the address range 1...30. When assigning the addresses, also other devices such as the EDS47x-12 must be considered. The correct reception of BMS data is indicated by a flashing point on the dis­play on the right of the measuring pulse indication.
***IT-SYSTEM*** R+=500K
Flashing point: BMS data received
If no flashing point appears, it may be attributed to the following:
z no Master available in the network
z more than one Master available in the network
z RS485 interface (terminal A/B) not connected or reversed

6.4.3 Commissioning of an RS485 network with BMS protocol

z Connect the terminals A and B of all bus nodes in one line
z Switch the terminating resistors on at the beginning and end of the RS485
network or in case of devices without a terminating switch, at the end of the bus, connect a 120 Ω resistor to the terminals A and B.
z Switch the supply voltage U
z Determine one IRDH275 as the Master and assign address 1.
z Assign the addresses (2...30) subsequently to all other IRDH275B devices and

other bus nodes (see table below).
z Check whether a flashing point appears on all devices
(BMS commands are being received).
z The sub menu "ISO-Monitor" in the COM SETUP menu allows insulation values
of the A-ISOMETERs® to be queried. Before starting the query, the address of the A-ISOMETER® has to be entered.
