1 General description
1.1 Functional description
Easergy T200 P is designed to be installed with overhead switches remote controlled
by the MV network. It contains all the functions required to monitor and control one or
two MV/LV switchgear devices.
Management of MV switch opening/closing electric control unit
The control is triggered by actuation from the control station, by local operator control,
or by internal automatic controls.
Measurement acquisition and processing
The T200 P can incorporate the following measurements and processing functions:
For each channel:
Current measurement on each phase;
Calculation of the average load current;
Homopolar current measurement;
Single-phase or three-phase voltage measurement;
Measurement of the phase deviation between the upstream/downstream voltages
for management of opening points;
Calculation of active and RMS power (option);
Calculation of active energy (option);
Calculation of the power factor (option);
Frequency measurement.
Monitoring, for the purposes of remote indication and/or local display,
of MV substation and Easergy T200 P information:
Open/closed position of MV switch;
“Locked” state of MV switch;
Phase-to-phase or phase-to-earth fault current detection;
Voltage present;
Automatic control ON/OFF position;
Door open;
Local/remote operating mode;
Immediate alternating supply voltage failure;
Time-delayed alternating supply voltage failure;
Charger fault;
Battery fault;
External 12 V power supply failure;
Motorization supply voltage failure.
Logs
Time-stamped chronological logging of events and measurements.
This information can be transmitted to the control centre and archived in logs for
consultation and local downloading (in file form), by connection of a microcomputer.
Predefined automations
SEC (Sectionalizer): Automatic control for opening the MV switch following
detection of a number of fault currents in the source substation reset cycle.
ATS (Automatic Transfer of Source): Automatic source changeover upon voltage
loss detected on one of the channels.
VT (Voltage Time): The detection of voltage loss (switch closed) causes channel
opening and then reclosing when the voltage returns.
Backup power supply
For all the control unit components, the transmission equipment and the switch
motorization with a battery life of several hours in the event of an AC supply outage.
Local communication or communication with the remote control centre
One or two communication ports (option) are available for remote communication
with the control centre to manage two transmission channels. These ports can be
used redundantly (normal/backup), for repeater or maintenance applications. The
ports use either modems integrated in the COM card or external equipment
managed by the rack serial link.
A choice of modem for each port allowing any type of mounting:
Radio (600/1200 baud FSK or 1200/2400 FFSK);
PSTN isolated at 8 kV (300 to 14400 bits/s -V32 bis);
GSM / GPRS (quad-band version 900/1800/850/1900 MHz), SIM card accessible
in GSM (900/1800/850/1900 MHz) and five band in 3G (800/850/AWS/1900/2100
MHz), SIM card accessible on the front panel
LL isolated at 8 kV (1200 baud FSK);
RS232 or RS485 isolated at 2 kV (19200 baud).
Note: In an RS232 link, port 1 is replaced by the RS232 port integral with the COM
card and accessible via the RJ45 connector on the right of the rack.
NT00113-EN-05

Overview General description
A catalogue of communication protocols for communication with the control centre,
changing constantly:
♦ IEC 870-5-101
♦ IEC 870-5-104
♦ DNP3, DNP3 / IP
♦ Modbus, Modbus / IP
♦ Other proprietary protocols (PID1, PUR2.2, PUR2.4, EDP, etc.).
An Ethernet communication port is available for communication with the control
centre or for access from the local PC for consultation/configuration (Modbus IP
protocol, IEC 870-5-104, DNP3 IP). This port is accessible on the front of the COM
card.
A USB communication port is available for communication with the local PC for
consultation/configuration. This port is accessible on the front of the COM card.
Communication with local equipment (option)
A Modbus RS485 communication port (2 wires - isolated at 2 kV) is available (on
option) for dialogue with equipment communicating with the T200 (e.g. Sepam, etc.).
Time synchronization of the equipment
Time setting for event dating can be performed:
by the laptop PC for consultation/configuration of the T200 (manually or
automatically via the PC time);
by the control centre (if the protocol permits);
by GPS sync (option). The minimum precision of time setting is in this case
approximately 50 ms;
by SNTP sync (option) from an Ethernet network. The precision of time setting is
in this case approximately one second.
IEC 61131-3 programmable logic controller
On option, the T200 can include an IEC 61131-3 embedded virtual programmable logic
controller.
A development platform (the RTU Control software supplied in appendix on the
Easergy CD) makes it possible to design, simulate and test on a target programs
written in the following PLC languages:
• SFC – Sequential Function Chart
• FBD – Function Block Diagram
• LD – Ladder Diagram
• ST – Structured Text
• Il – Instruction List
These PLC programs allow specific customized applications or additional functions to
be implemented on the T200 by combining or actuating existing T200 variables or
virtual variables to be created specifically for the PLC application.
Inter-equipment communication
The IEC 61131-3 programmable automatic control option also includes an interequipment communication function, allowing Modbus exchange, via a TCP/IP link,
between T200 devices connected to the same MV circuit. This communication allows
exchange of a data table between these T200 devices, in order to contribute, for
example (without any other PLC than the T200's), to an automatic control function
allowing detection and clearing of a current fault on an MV circuit.
(For more details regarding these three functions, refer to the specific "RTU Control &
Formulae" manual – ref. NT00320-xx).
Calculation formulae
The calculation formulae are a standard feature of the T200.
They can be used in the T200 to create new customized functions or applications not
requiring writing of a program in PLC language.
The functions that can be used in the formulae are:
- Mathematical functions;
- Statistical functions;
- Logical functions;
- Time/date functions;
- etc.
These formulae make it possible, more easily than with a PLC program, to create logic
equations based on combinations of variables. The types of variables that can be
used are the same as for PLC programs (existing T200 variables or virtual variables
created specifically). This inter-equipment communication is typically used in
applications of the self-healing network type.

Type B connector Type A connector
USB cable
“Cross-over” or “straight-through” Ethernet cable
depending on type of link access
2 Connection to the T200
Easergy T200 I must be configured from a configuration PC. This is
performed from the COM card (single access). It allows configuration of:
The parameters of the CPU card (date, fault detection, etc.).
The parameters of the Communication card (com. parameters, alarms,
etc.).
The system parameters (variable management, class management,
etc.).
Equipment required for T200 connection
For testing-maintenance configuration, the T200 requires:
A microcomputer operating under Windows 2000 or XP or Seven and
including Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or 6.0, 7, 8 or 9). An USB port on this PC to perform connection with the T200.
An Ethernet port (RJ45) is available on the COM card for remote access to
the T200 from an Ethernet network.
This port can also be used for direct connection of the T200 with the PC.
The Ethernet cable required for Ethernet network-T200 connection or PCEthernet network connection is of the “straight-through” type.
The Ethernet cable required for PC-T200 connection is of the “cross-over”
type.
The USB cable required for PC-T200 connection is of the USB-A type at one
end and USB-B at the other.
A CD-ROM is supplied to the user for:
Installation of the USB driver for connection with the T200.
Installation of Java Runtime Environment 5.0 needed for port trace
operation (Supervisor-T200 frame analysis).
NB: TCP/IP ports 1168, 1169 and 1170 must be accessible on the PC
for trace operation. Contact the network administrator if it is necessary to
alter the PC or network configuration to deactivate the firewall on these ports.
Configuration of the T200 is performed directly from Internet Explorer.
No other additional software is needed to access the T200 testingmaintenance configuration operations (apart from Java Runtime 1.5).
Principle of the T200 embedded server
The T200 includes an embedded server which is initialized automatically as
soon as connection is established with the T200.
The data displayed by the T200 through this embedded server appears in the
form of HTML pages.
Various pages and sub-pages can be accessed by the user depending on
the rights available to him. The HTML pages displaying the information
managed by the T200 are refreshed in real time so as to update the latest
states.
Access and connection are secured by a Login and password. Several levels
of access to the HTML pages can be configured, provided one have the
required rights.
From the embedded server, it is possible to:
Configure the fault detector, communications and automatic control
parameters or system parameters (management of variables, classes,
rights, etc.);
View the states managed by the T200 (TSS, TSD, routine faults,
telemeasurements, etc.);
Save or load the T200 parameter configuration from files already
backed up on the PC;
Send remote control orders to the T200;
Transfer diagnostic logs in the form of Excel-compatible files;
Load a new software version of the T200 application.
The embedded server can be accessed both by the USB port and by the
Ethernet port. There is no difference in operation according to the type of port
used.
Initialization of connection to the T200
The T200 incorporates by default IP addresses necessary for local
connection from a PC. It is important to know these addresses in advance in
order to start a connection (these addresses are indicated on the Com card):
USB port: default address on the T200 = 212.1.1.10
Ethernet port: default address on the T200 = 172.16.0.5
Note: The USB address cannot be modified by the user. The Ethernet
address, on the other hand, can be modified (if the rights so permit) so as to
correspond to the local area network, which does not necessarily use the
same network addresses and masks.
For the T200 link via Ethernet, steps 2 and 3 are not necessary. In that case,
go directly to step 4.

2.2 Step 2 - Installing the USB driver
Carry out the following operations to install the USB driver:
Insert the Easergy CD-Rom supplied with the unit.
Insert the Easergy CD-ROM supplied with the equipment into the PC
drive.
A "Gamme Easergy / Easergy range – Vx.xx" window should
automatically appear on screen. If this is not the case, double-click on
the "Autorun.hta" file located in the CD root directory.
Click on the "Easergy series 3" link.
In the "Equipements Easergy series 3 / Easergy series 3 Equipment"
window which appears on screen, click on the "USB Driver" link.
Choose the setup language, then click on "ok".
Click on "Next" to start the "InstallShield Wizard" module.
Choose the installation directory (the directory proposed by default can
be kept), then click on "Next".
Then click on "Install" to start installation.
A driver setup window appears on screen; click on "Next".
Installation of the Easergy USB driver starts automatically.
At the end of installation, when the window showing that the driver has
been correctly installed appears on screen, click on the "Finish" button.
The Easergy USB driver is installed.
An "Easergy USB connection" start-up shortcut is also created
automatically on the PC desktop (see step 4).
Important note: Unlike the previous USB driver, this driver is installed for all
the USB ports of the PC. This driver needs therefore be installed only once,
irrespective of the USB port used. If a different USB port is used for a future
connection, Windows will automatically detect and install the Easergy USB
driver for this other USB port.
Note: Step 2 is therefore necessary only for the first connection to equipment
with the PC. For a future connection, go directly to step 4.

The connection to the unit is established automatically and the home
page of the Web server appears on screen.
Enter a “User name” and a “Password”, then click on “Ok”.
Access to the HTML pages is activated according to the rights related to
this user.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After powering up or a Reset of the T200, it is important
to wait for completion of initialization of the COM card before connecting the
USB cable, otherwise the connection is likely not to work.
When the T200 is powered up, the red “Fault” indicator lamp should flash for
approximately 10 s and then stay lit steadily for 3 s before going out.
Only then is connection of the USB cable possible.
Note: contrary to the old USB driver, to stop the USB connection, you just
have to disconnect the USB cable. Windows will stop automatically the
current USB connection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once connection with the T200 is completed, you
should restore the original IP address configuration settings of the PC.
Note: there are useful utilities that can change automatically the TCP/IP
address of the PC. We recommend the software "Free IP Switcher" that can
be downloaded as a freeware on internet.
NT00113-EN-05
13
Connection to the T200 Initialization of connection
2.4.3 Remote access via a local Ethernet
network (LAN) or a GPRS or 3G network
With the T200 powered up, connect the PC and the T200 to the local
Ethernet network (LAN) using appropriate cables (straight Ethernet
cables).
Start Internet Explorer.
Enter the IP address of the T200 corresponding to the Ethernet or
GPRS/3G access in the “Address” field, then click on “Ok”.
The home page of the embedded server appears on screen.
Define the language to be used.
Enter a “User name” and a “Password”, then click on “Ok”.
Access to the HTML pages is then activated according to the rights
related to this user.
Note: Generally the default IP address of the T200 cannot be used on the
Ethernet ,3G or GPRS network employed, and it must therefore be replaced,
in the T200's specific IP address configuration page, with an address
acceptable for the network (see section on IP address configuration). In that
case, the only way to access the T200's IP address configuration page is to
use the USB local connection.
Note 2: Unlike Ethernet access, the connection speed on a GPRS or 3G link
is relatively slow (max. theoretical connection speed for GPRS = 50Kbis/s,
3G = 2Mbits/s).
Accordingly, so that the display of data on screen may be slowed as little as
possible, following a GPRS or 3G connection the T200 automatically displays
the pages of the Web server in simplified mode (Web server configuration in
"Remote" mode).
However, it is possible to return to a standard display by clicking on "Local"
configuration, at the top of the Web server home page.
14
NT00113-EN-05
Connection to the T200 Initialization of connection
2.4.4 Remote access via telephone or GSM link
This access operates only when the T200 includes a GSM or PSTN (telephone)
internal modem installed on the COM card.
When an external modem is used, it is possible that this access may operate, but
that depends on the modem used.
Start the GSM-PSTN remote network connection created previously (=> step
3).
Click on “Dial number” to start remote network connection.
Once connection is established, start Internet Explorer.
In the address field of Internet Explorer, enter one of the following IP
addresses, depending on the port No. on which the RTC or GSM modem is
installed on the T200:
- For port 1: 212.1.0.1
- For port 2: 212.1.0.3
The home page of the embedded server then appears on screen.
Define the language to be used.
Enter a “User name” and a “Password”, then click on “Ok”.
Access to the HTML pages is activated according to the rights related to this
user.
Note: Unlike a standard USB or Ethernet access, the connection speed on a
telephone or GSM link is rather slow (9600 baud).
Accordingly, so that the display of data on screen may be slowed as little as
possible, following a PSTN or GSM connection the T200 automatically displays the
pages of the Web server in simplified mode (Web server configuration in "Remote"
mode).
However, it is possible to return to a standard display by clicking on "Local"
configuration, at the top of the Web server home page.

Once access to the embedded server has been identified by user name and password,
all the HTML pages can be consulted by simply clicking on the tabs or the associated
drop-down lists when they are available:
Details of the settings for each page are given in Appendix A.
Home Page:
This page is displayed at connection to the T200. It enables definition of the
language to be used for displaying the pages. It also allows definition of user access
rights by user name and password.
The users and passwords that can be accessed depend on the configuration defined
in the Maintenance page and the Users sub-menu.
By default, the “Easergy” user and “Easergy” password allow access as
“Administrator” to the embedded server.
Note: To protect your information, it is necessary to choose and use strong
passwords. Therefore, we recommend:
• Systematically change the default passwords as soon as possible the first time
you connect to the product.
• Renew your passwords with a reasonable frequency.
• Do not store passwords in a file on a computer station that is particularly
exposed to risk.
• Configure the software, including your web browser, so that it does not
"remember" the chosen passwords.
We recommend a simple rule: passwords should be at least 8 characters long and of
different types (upper case, lower case, numbers, special characters).
A click on the "Remote" option at the top of the page makes it possible to log on to
the T200 Web server with a simplified display of information (without images or
logos) so as to optimize data transfer times. This mode is used automatically for slow
remote network connections (PSTN or GSM at 9.6 Kbits/s).
A click on the "Local" button at the top of the page makes it possible to log on to the
T200 Web server with a normal display (all logos and images are transferred and
displayed). This mode is used automatically for high-speed local area connections:
USB (115.2 Kbits/s) or Ethernet (100 Mbits/s).
Monitoring Page:
This page can be used to consult the T200 states:
TSS: State of digital inputs, T200 internal faults, voltage presences, current faults,
etc.
TSD: open or closed state of switch, automatic control, digital outputs
TM: measurements of currents, voltages, frequency, etc.
Counters: number of operations or energy.
Note: Some displayed data is calculated and deduced by the T200:
Active, reactive, apparent power.
Phase difference between channels (deduced from the phase 1 voltages of each
channel).
Power factor or Cos φ.
Active power.
Neutral and average current (neutral current deduced in the case of a type A
arrangement - 3 phase toroids).
Phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground voltage (3-wire arrangement: phase-to-phase
voltages measured and phase-to-ground voltages deduced. 4-wire arrangement:
phase-to-ground voltages measured and phase-to-phase voltages deduced).
The page is displayed by class (e.g. State of channels, System, Automatic Control,
etc.).
Each class covers a category of information so as to facilitate viewing on screen.
The states of the indications or measurements are refreshed every 3 seconds
automatically.
The presentation, quantity of data displayed and content of this page may vary from
one application to another.

Control Page
Drop-down list – Diagnostic page
Event log - Diagnostic page
Control Page
This page allows local control orders to be sent from the PC to:
The switches (change of position by CO/CF);
The operation and energy counters (counter initialization);
The automatic controls (switching ON/OFF);
The digital outputs (forced setting open or closed);
The fault detector (fault memory resetting).
The T200 must be in "Remote" mode to be able to send control orders.
The control orders on the TSDs make it possible to go to the state complementing
that displayed by the T200.
The control orders on the counters enable them to be initialized at a value predefined
by the user.
For safety reasons, each control order must be confirmed by the user.
The state of a control order in progress is displayed in orange (default colour).
The state of the control order is refreshed on screen automatically as soon as it is
completed.
Note: The colours of the states displayed can be modified by configuration.
Diagnostic Pages:
These pages allow consultation of the logs recorded in real time by the T200. The
event time stamping is 1 ms.
Each log allows consultation of the history of states occurring on the T200 with a
description of the states.
All the information present in the logs is time-and-date stamped by the T200's
internal clock.
The logs are as follows:
•Alarm log: (storage capacity: 2000)
Alarms can be generated and transmitted spontaneously to the control centre
after an information change of state, provided that this state has been configured
as alarmed.
A box associated with each alarm is checked when the control centre has
acknowledged this alarm.
Note: Information configured as alarmed automatically implies the generation of
an associated event (in the event log or measures log depending on type).
•Event log: (storage capacity: 10000)
Every change of state generates an event, provided that the use of events for this
state has been configured.
•System log: (storage capacity: 6000)
The equipment also incorporates a function for recording additional information to
facilitate operation and maintenance.
- Storage of transmission events (to determine the origin of a recurring
communication fault);
- Indication of transmission errors (CRC error, collisions, PSTN line out of order,
switchover to redundancy, etc.);
- Indication of system events (T200 start-up, T200 reset, change of
configuration, etc.).
•Measures log: (storage capacity: 30000)
The measurements managed by the T200 (phase current or mains voltage) can
be saved in a log, provided that their use has been configured.
The measurements can be recorded in several ways:
- Periodically (sampled or averaged value with configurable period);
- Upon exceeding a threshold (configurable high or low threshold);
- Upon variation or “dead band” (configurable variation %);
- Upon periodic recording of Min. and Max. values (configurable values and
period).
For all the logs, when the storage capacity is reached, the most recent event
occurring erases the oldest event on the list.

Files download – Diagnostic page
• A Files download sub-menu allows these logs to be saved to the PC in the form of
Excel-compatible files (*.csv files).
These files can be consulted or transferred, to enable the establishment of statistics
or reviews.
A "Clear the log" button in each log can be used to empty their content, i.e. to erase
all the information saved previously.
Principle of saving to logs:
To increase the life of the flash memory, saving to the logs is performed every 5
min.
Accordingly, when a reset is performed on the T200, it is possible that the most
recent events that have occurred since the last backup may not be saved in the
logs. The only exception is when imminent cut-out occurs on the enclosure. In that
case, even if the time elapsed is less than 5 min., the T200 saves the events to the
logs before cutting off the power supply.
ATTENTION : After a change of configuration, it is important to wait for
about fifteen seconds (the time needed for the equipment to store the
parameters in memory) before performing a reset on the equipment.
Otherwise, the equipment is likely to lose its configuration permanently.

Maintenance Pages:
Several pages can facilitate maintenance of the T200, by giving information or
allowing configuration of the T200 application:
1. General information: Specific sub-pages provide information concerning the
T200 application, namely:
- Substation page: information concerning the current application (version No.
of the application and fault detector, date and time of last configuration, name
of substation, etc.).
- Software page: information concerning the software used by the T200
(version, date and time of compilation, size and CRC32).
The T200 is capable of storing two different software versions in memory. It
is possible to switch from one software version to another simply by selection
(if two versions are available).
It is also possible to load a new software version from a file available on the
PC or from a floppy disk or CD-ROM.
ATTENTION : The loading process manages only the file format with .zip
extension. The software must therefore not be unzipped before loading it on
the T200 (file with .mem extension not managed).
Note: When loading a software on the T200, one in fact loads the protocol
used for remote transmission but also all the equipment operating options,
including some that are managed and displayed by the Web server if
configured and/or detected physically on the COM card, namely:
- The Modbus master function
- The function of synchronization by GPS
- The digital input counting function.
- Clock page: Allows the T200 date and time to be configured manually or
automatically from the time on the PC.
A click on the "Update" button causes the manual change of date and time to
be accepted.
A click on the "Synchronization" button allows the PC date and time to be
taken into account automatically for configuration on the T200.
Comment: This configuration is possible only if synchronization by SNTP
server or by GPS module is not installed in the T200.
- IPparameters page: Allows consultation or where applicable configuration
of the Ethernet and USB interface parameters (IP addresses, sub-network
masks, etc.).
When a GPRS or 3G modem is installed on the COM card, this page also
allows consultation of the IP addresses assigned automatically by the
GPRS/3G server.
NB: It is dangerous to modify the Ethernet IP parameters, with a risk of no
longer being able to access the T200. Call on competent authorities to
modify these parameters.
- IPserver ports page: allows redefinition of the port numbers used by the
T200 for COM card access, in the event that the transmission network does
not accept the default numbers (e.g. restriction on certain GPRS/3G
operators).
By default, the following port Nos. are configured on the T200:
HTTP server port = 80
Telnet server port = 23
Port 1,2 and TCP/IP trace server port = 1168, 1169 and 1170
TCP/IP port trace server port = 1170
This page is optional depending on the embedded software in the T200 (e.g.
present page for software including GPRS transmission).
NB: If the HTTP port number is changed in this page, to be able to log
on to the T200 Web server again, it is essential to add the port number
at the end of the T200's IP address preceded by a colon
(e.g. 10.207.154.239:1500 for a T200 access on port 1500).
- User page: Allows creation, modification or deletion of users and
management of rights (login, password, access rights).
2. Port 1 & 2 & TCP/IP & Modbus Master traces: The "Port 1, 2 and TCP/IP
traces" pages allow viewing, for each available port, of communication
exchanges between the control centre and the T200.
The "Modbus Master trace" page allows viewing of exchanges between the
T200 and the Modbus slaves of the substation (see additional manual
NT00121-xx).
This trace is displayed on screen in decoded form to facilitate reading of the
frame's content:
Column 1: frame time-and-date stamping (in
hour:minute:second.thousandth of second format).
Column 2: direction of dialogue, RTU -> PC or PC -> RTU, with
associated address Nos of the PC and RTU.
Column 3: hexadecimal frame + brief description of the content of the
frame.

3. Configuration:
- Save/Restore page: Allows all the current T200 configuration parameters to
be saved to a file.
It is also possible to load from a file available on your PC or from a floppy disk
or CD-ROM the T200 configuration parameters coming from a preceding
backup or coming from another substation.
This file can be used to configure one or more other substations in the same
way without being obliged to reconfigure all the parameters one by one.
Note: During loading from a file, the data integrity is verified automatically so as
to ensure the compatibility of application versions.
Settings Pages
Configuration of the T200 is performed from pages grouped together in several
different categories:
1. Communication: Several pages allow you to configure the specific
communication parameters of the T200:
- Operation Mode page: For each communication port available on the T200,
it is possible to determine:
The protocol available;
The type of transmission medium to be used (Radio, PSTN, GSM, etc.);
The way in which the ports will be managed according to one of the
available modes:
Not used
Normal
Balanced – Normal/Backup
Main – Normal/Backup
Backup – Normal/Backup
Store & forward
- Protocol + TCP/IP Protocol pages: These pages are used to configure the
parameters specific to the protocol used:
Max. number of send operations
Collision avoidance system;
Configuration of link addresses;
Frame size;
etc.
Note: Each type of protocol has its specific configuration page. For more
details, refer to the specific user manual for the protocol installed on the
T200.

- Modbus Master Port and Slave Configuration page:
These 2 menus can be used to configure communication with Modbus
slaves. The parameters setup for communication with Modbus slaves is
covered by additional documentation (NT00121-xx).
2. Control Module No. x: Some parameters of the T200 are managed for each
Control module of the T200.
Two pages allow this configuration:
- Control and Automation page: This page can be used to configure the
parameters related to electrical control of the switch and automation
management:
Type of switch (Standard, PM6, CI2 or other);
Change-of-position waiting time;
Type of automatic control;
Etc.
- Measurements/Fault Detector Page: This page allows configuration of all
the T200 analogue information, namely:
Mains frequency;
Current and voltage measurement parameters;
Fault detection parameters;
Etc.

configured separately to define its operation and how it will be managed by the
embedded server:
- Variable configuration page: The complete list of information (variables)
managed by the T200 is displayed in this page, under various categories.
Depending on the type of variable, the configuration page and the
parameters displayed may be different. There is a specific type of page for:
Digital control orders (e.g. TCD)
Double indications (e.g. TSD)
Single indications (e.g. TSS)
Analogue measurements (e.g. TM).
Counter (e.g. CNT).
The parameters to be configured for each variable are (for example):
Variable name
Type of access (operator session, administrator session, etc.);
Assignment class;
Logical, remote and internal addresses;
Measurement, event and alarm management;
Type of recording for measurements (periodic, upon exceeding
high or low threshold, upon % variation or indication of min. and
max. values per period);
etc.
Note: The parameters to be configured depend on the type of page
displayed.
- Classes Configuration page: The variables created can be grouped
together by classes, so as to facilitate the management and display of
variables. Each variable can be assigned to one of these classes by
configuration. This page can be used to create, modify or delete the
classes managed by the embedded server and determine those that will
be visible in the Monitoring page.

3.2 Configuration of synchronization by
GPS
Access: "Maintenance/Clock" page.
In standard configuration, the T200's time can be set manually by the user or by
synchronization from a PC connected to the T200.
On option, the T200 can also be synchronized via a GPS module.
This module allows the equipment to time stamp events precisely, without internal
clock time drift.
The supply for this kit includes a GPS card, installed in factory on the COM card of
the T200 (slot S5) and a GPS antenna with a cable 5m long.
On option, an antenna extension cable 10m long is available.
Operating principle
The T200 is synchronized every second automatically from the GPS network,
provided that the satellite signal reception levels are adequate.
The T200 can receive information from at most 14 satellites at the same time.
The larger the number of satellites, the more precise will be the measurements
based on the GPS signals.
Upon initialization of the COM card, the minimum time for satisfactory reception of
the GPS satellite signals ranges between 5 min. and 15 min. (it depends on the
quality of the signals received).
The average precision of time setting is approximately 1 ms (discrimination between
two events: 10 ms).
Events specific to the GPS function are generated by the COM card (in the
"System" log) so as to provide information concerning the operating status of the
GPS module:
- "GPS started"
- "GPS synchronization OK"
- "GPS synchronization lost"
Comment: When the GPS option is present, it takes priority over SNTP time
synchronization or manual time synchronization.
Antenna mounting:
On request for this option, the T200 is supplied with a GPS signal acquisition card.
This card is installed in factory on slot "S5" of the COM card.
Note: The synchronization by GPS option can be installed only on a "full" type COM
card.
For the GPS option to operate, it is necessary to install the GPS antenna outside
the enclosure, on a horizontal metal mounting (the antenna being magnetized), in a
location where the GPS signals may not be disturbed by nearby obstacles that
could act as a screen (wall, building, etc.).
The GPS sensor should be installed so as to have a free field around it, so as to
receive the satellite signals correctly. (e.g. roof of the substation where the T200 is
located: see drawing opposite).
The GPS antenna can withstand a temperature range of: -40°C / +85°C.

NT00113-EN-05
Commissioning GPS synchronization setting
Information relating to the GPSfunction:
When the GPS card is installed on the COM card, the T200 automatically tries to
connect to the GPS network.
When the GPS signals are detected at a sufficient level, the "Clock synchronized by
GPS" display appears in the Maintenance/Clock page of the embedded Web server
of the T200 and the configuration/monitoring parameters related to this option are
displayed (see image below).
When the GPS signals are detected at a sufficient level, it is then no longer possible
to configure the PC time and date manually. The GPS card automatically takes
control of time setting for the device and also overrides time setting by SNTP (if the
latter is present).
For correct operation, the GPS option requires configuration of the following
parameters:
Information concerning the time zone:
The time provided by the GPS satellites is GMT universal time.
It is therefore necessary to configure the time zone corresponding to the country in
which the T200 is located so that the time on the T200 matches the local time in the
country. To do so, perform the following configuration:
- Time zone: In the proposed drop-down list choose the zone corresponding to
the local time zone (closest city having the same time zone).
- Adjust the clock for automatic observation of summer time: Check the
box "Adjust clock for automatic summer time adjustment" if the T200 is to
perform automatic time setting of the clock for changes related to the transition
to summer time and winter time.
- Save Time Zone information: Click on this button to accept changes in the
configuration.
GPS position:
This section gives information concerning the information delivered by the GPS
satellites, namely:
- Longitude and latitude
- Height above sea level
- Precision of horizontal measurement (longitude and latitude)
- Precision of vertical measurement (altitude)
Comment: The GPS position data appear in the page only when time
synchronization is performed with the satellites.

GPS satellite data:
This section gives information concerning the quantity and quality of the GPS
signals received from the satellites:
- Channels 1 to 14: The T200 assigns a channel number for each satellite
detected.
- Satelliteidentification: GPS identification No. of the satellite detected.
- Signalstatus: Provides knowledge of the connection status of the satellites. 6
statuses can be displayed:
Not connected: displayed in grey colour
Search in progress: displayed in grey colour
Signal detected, but unusable: displayed in red colour
Signal captured: displayed in green colour if signal quality ≥ 45, otherwise in
orange colour
Signal and carrier wave captured: displayed in green colour if signal quality
≥ 45, otherwise in orange colour
Signal and carrier wave captured, reception: displayed in green colour if
signal quality ≥ 45, otherwise in orange colour
Comment: The colour of display of each line makes it possible to know the state of
the GPS connection:
Grey colour: no connection or connection in progress
Orange colour: connection performed but not finalized or with mediocre
reception level but sufficient for synchronization.
Green colour: Connection performed with very good reception level.
Red colour: Reception level too weak, no connection possible.
- Signalquality: Value displayed in dBHz allowing assessment of the quality of the
signal level received for each satellite.
Level ≥ 45 dBHz: Very good reception level
Functioning of GPS synchronization:
At least two satellites in reception are required (with reception level ≥ 45 dB) for
time synchronization and position locating (longitude and latitude) to be operational
on the T200.
The larger the number of satellites, the more precise will be the measurements
based on the GPS signals.

3.3 Configuration of SNTP service
Access: "Maintenance/Clock"page.
The T200 incorporates an SNTP client. It allows the time on the internal clock of the T200
to be set automatically from a network synchronization server, when T200 is connected to
this network.
Comment: When the SNTP option is configured, it overrides manual synchronization of
the T200 time and date. It is then no longer possible to configure the PC time and date
manually.
Operating principle
The T200 includes the capability for defining 2 different SNTP servers, one main server
and one auxiliary server, each being on different networks.
When the "Polling period" time delay configured has expired, the T200 sends a request to
the main SNTP server.
If the T200 receives a synchronization from the main SNTP server, the time on the latter is
set and the synchronization cycle is completed.
If the T200 obtains no response from the main SNTP server after the end of delay "Max.
server response time" has elapsed, the T200 attempts a new connection again.
If the "Number of reconnection attempts" is reached, the T200 tries to become
synchronized with the auxiliary SNTP server.
The cycle ends once the T200U has been synchronized with the second server or when it
reaches the "Number of reconnection attempts".
Configuration parameters:
•SNTP server and auxiliary SNTP server: IP address of the main and auxiliary
SNTP servers.
Note: When the address is set to "0.0.0.0", the synchronization by SNTP function is
deactivated on the server.
•Synchronization period: Allows the time synchronization period to be defined via
the SNTP server. Configurable from 1 to 300 seconds.
•Number of reconnection attempts: Upon failure of synchronization with the server,
max. number of attempts to be made.
•Last SNTP synchronization: Indication of the time and date of the last SNTP
synchronization performed (consultation exclusively).
•SNTP server gateway and auxiliary SNTP gateway: Address of the gateway for
access to the main and auxiliary SNTP servers.
•Max. server response time: Maximum time waiting for the reply from the SNTP
server before making a further attempt at synchronization.
•Period of validity of the clock: Time after which the T200 must be resynchronized
with the SNTP server.

3.4 Configuration of Ethernet interfaces
Access: "Maintenance/IPParameters"page.
This page can be used to configure the Ethernet connection parameters of the T200.
The T200 can include three IP addresses specific to the device, to allow simultaneous
connection from several TCPI/IP network access points including specific address (e.g.
Router
several Supervisors who wants to access T200 from different TCP/IP network – see
example).
The three IP addresses use the same network physical interface (single Ethernet port on
the COM card). For this reason, the two additional IP addresses added to that included as
standard in the "Ethernet Interface" part are called virtual Ethernet interfaces 1 and 2.
Note : The GPRS or 3G port is not is not affected by these virtual addresses.
Interface Ethernet :
•MACaddress: Unique identification address for each T200, set in factory.
(Consultation exclusively)
•DHCP: Defines whether the router of the Ethernet local area network can allocate a
new IP address to the T200 automatically upon a new connection. It is recommended
not to activate this function or else you could no longer be able to log on to the T200
if the modified address is not known.
• IP address: Base IP address of the T200 (as standard: 172.16.0.5).
• Sub-network mask: The mask defines the possibility of configuration of the IP
address on the Ethernet network. For each IP address field, (0) means authorization
of 255 values and (255) means fixed value for this field.
(As standard: 255.255.255.0)
•Gateway addresses: IP address of the server's Ethernet gateway. The gateway
centralizes all the network IP accesses (as standard: 172.16.0.1).
•Primary DNS server: IP address of the primary DNS server (Domain Name Server).
The DNS enables the IP addresses to be associated with the website names (as
standard: 172.16.0.1).
•Secondary DNS server: IP address of the secondary DNS server (Domain Name
Server). Backup DNS server (as standard: 0.0.0.0).
Ethernet virtual interface 1 and 2:
•IP address: IP address for the virtual interface. If set to "0.0.0.0", the virtual interface
is deactivated.
•Sub-network mask: Sub-network mask of the virtual interface (same functioning as
the Ethernet interface).
•Gateway addresses: IP address of the Ethernet gateway of the virtual interface
(same functioning as the Ethernet interface).
USB interface:
•Server IP address: IP address of the T200's embedded Web server for USB access.
Unmodifiable (as standard: 212.1.1.10).
•ClientIP address: IP address assigned to the PC connected via USB to the
embedded Web server. Unmodifiable. (As standard: 212.1.1.11).

Backup/Restore page
3.5 Save/Restore configuration parameters
Access: "Maintenance/Save-Restore" page.
The T200 can save in file form all the configurable parameters of the equipment
(except the parameters of the "IP parameters" page which remain specific to each
equipment item).
This file can then be used for downloading to other equipment of the same type,
thus enabling the T200 to be configured automatically without needing to redo the
entire configuration manually, which would be rather onerous.
However, the parameters specific to each T200 must then be personalized (e.g.
protocol address, fault detection thresholds, etc.).
The "Maintenance/Backup-Restoral" page provides access to backup/restoral
resources.
Saving the configuration on PC:
This section describes saving of the T200 configuration in file form (T200 PC
direction).
There are two possible backup file formats:
- Zipped text file: Click once on the arrow (T200 PC) and the T200 automatically
creates a compressed text file (file with *.zip extension) containing the T200
parameters.
- Binary file: Click once on the "Binary file" link and the T200 automatically creates
a binary file (file without extension) containing the T200 parameters.
Note: There is in theory no need to use the binary format for backup, except if you
want to generate a backup compatible with an old software version of the T200 (see
chapter below: "Backup file compatibility").
Downloading the configuration from the PC:
This section describes downloading to the T200 the parameters contained in a
backup file (PC -> T200 direction).
In this mode there is only a single button for downloading.
The T200 automatically detects the type of file downloaded and manages the
reading of information accordingly.
It is possible to download three types of files:
Text file (extension: *.txt)
Binary file (without extension)
Compressed text file (*.zip extension).
Backup file compatibility:
In the first T200 software versions (versions below V2.50 or V3.50), backup and
restoral was possible only in a single type of file format (binary file).
To be able to load these old backup files on a recent T200, it is essential that the
T200 include a V2.5x or V3.5x version. A V4.0x or upper version will not allow this
type of file to be loaded for reasons of incompatibility.
You should therefore proceed in two stages to load a configuration file coming from
an old software version on a T200 containing a recent software version of the V4.xx
or upper type:
1. Load the old configuration file on equipment incorporating an equivalent
software version (e.g. V2.5x for V2.yx versions and V3.5x for V3.yx versions,
with y is lower than 5).
2. Save the configuration in file form (choice of format: without extension or *.zip).
3. Load software version V4.xx or upper on this equipment.
4. Load the configuration file saved previously.
5. Save the configuration.
6. The file obtained will then be compatible with recent software (V4.xx or upper,
V2.5x or V3.5x).
Note: The file obtained will no longer be compatible with the old software
(versions below V2.50 or V3.50). If the software version has not been updated
on all the T200's, it is therefore wise to keep both types of backup (old and
new).

3.6 Dummy Control option
Access: "Monitoring"page.
This option allows remote simulation, from the Supervisor, of an opening or closing
remote control action on the T200.
The aim is to verify protocol exchanges between the T200 and the Supervisor by
sending a double telecontrol, but without risk of really actuating a switch, because
the command is executed only on a fictitious device installed on the COM card
("Dummy Control" module).
This option requires addition of the "Dummy Control" module on the COM card on
the port 1 slot used for transmission to the Supervisor.
No specific parameters setup is necessary to use this option. The COM card
automatically detects the presence of this module on port 1.
Configuration of the T200 must nevertheless be provided for to use the Dummy
Control option. This option can be activated (on port 1 of the COM card) by the
"OFF line" configuration (available on the Easergy CD supplied with the T200 folder
"Tools\OFF-Line Configurator"), by generating a configuration file and loading it on
the T200.
Note: When the "Dummy Control" module is installed on port 1, it is no longer
possible to communicate on this port except in RS232 mode, and this only from the
DB9 port on the right-hand side of the rack..

3.7 Parameters for communication with the
supervisor
The COM card of the T200 is designed to detect automatically the type of modem
that is installed on the communication ports used for transmission to the SCADA
system (ports 1 and 2).
The configuration software automatically proposes a choice of media on these ports
which will correspond to the type of modem installed.
The parameters present in the configuration pages for ports 1 and 2 take into
account the type of medium that has been selected, because each type of medium
has specific configuration parameters.
The configuration page for protocol parameters may take also into account certain
parameters related to the type of medium selected.
Comment: The protocol parameters related to the type of medium will be described
in this chapter. The other parameters related to the protocol will not be described in
detail, however. For more information concerning the latter, refer to the User's
Manual for the protocol.
3.7.1 "Operating Mode" page
Access: "Settings/Operating Mode" menu
Objective of this page: Activate the transmission ports and select the type of modem
to be used and how it will be managed (up to two communication ports available).
The parameters for this page can be consulted and/or modified depending on the
user profile.
Configuration for each port used (Port 1 or Port 2):
Mode: Allows choice (or merely gives an indication depending on the protocol)
of the transmission mode used for dialogue with the SCADA system.
Depending on the protocol used, there is a choice between one of the two
modes mentioned below. Some protocols are fixed from the transmission
mode viewpoint and do not allow this choice.
In that case, the T200 proposes merely an indication, with no possibility of
modification:
- Master/Slave: communicates exclusively in the Scada -> T200 direction.
No remote alarm function used in this mode.
Depending on the protocol, the exact title displayed may be:
"Unbalanced" (e.g. IEC protocol);
"Master/Slave" (e.g. PUR protocol);
"No report by exception" (e.g. Modbus protocol);
"No unsolicited response" (DNP3 protocol).
- Master/Master: communicates in both directions, Scada -> T200 and
T200 -> Scada.
The remote alarm function will be used in this mode if one of the modes
mentioned below corresponding to the Master/Master mode is configured.
On the other hand, the remote alarm function will not be used if the
Master/Slave mode mentioned above is configured.

Comment: The "Report by exception" mode is not really a Master/Master
mode. It is in fact a Master/Slave mode with the possibility of alarm sending
to the SCADA system by means of the "Report by exception" function,
which from the functional viewpoint resembles a Master/Master mode.

From the page: "Settings/Operating mode"
Link: Allows definition of the way in which the ports will be managed according
to one of the following modes:
Off: No transmission over this channel.
Normal: Main transmission channel to the SCADA system. Two
"Normal" channels with the same protocol but with different
characteristics (e.g. type of transmission) can be used if there are two
remote control systems (main and maintenance). The T200 cannot
manage simultaneous remote controls coming from the two systems.
Balanced – Normal/Standby: Two channels are necessary in this
mode. The operation of the channels is symmetric. In the event of a
fault on the channel in service, switchover to the other channel takes
place automatically.
Main – Normal/ Standby: Requires another channel as " Standby –
Normal/Standby". Same operation as "Balanced" but with priority use
of the main channel.
Standby– Normal/ Standby: Requires another channel as "Main –
Normal/Standby". Same operation as "Balanced" but with use of the
backup channel if failure of the Main channel. A configurable option
can be used to define a priority return to the main channel if the latter
becomes available again.
Store & Forward: Function used only in radio mode. In addition to the
normal channel function of transmission to the SCADA system, this
channel is also used for relaying to an auxiliary T200 located within
reach of transmission and which is not accessible by any other means.
Test: (in radio mode only). Allows a fixed frequency to be generated on
the radio network to allow antenna installation adjustment operations or
level measurements on fields received on another T200 within reach of
the first.
For further information on the "Normal/Standby" and "Store & Forward"
modes, see the corresponding chapters.
Note: Depending on the protocol, all the operating modes of the ports
mentioned above are not necessarily available.
Medium: Allows definition of the type of transmission medium to be used for
the link to the SCADA system, for each port. The choice proposed below
depends on the type of modem detected on the COM card port, namely:
RS232 modem not isolated installed on the port:
♦ Direct RS232 (internal interface)
♦ Radio (external with modem)
♦ PSTN (external modem, Hayes command)
♦ GSM (external modem, Hayes command)
♦ PSTN (UMPC and external modem)
RS232/RS485 modem isolated 2,5 KV installed on the port :
♦ Direct RS232 (internal interface)
♦ Radio (external with modem)
♦ PSTN (external modem, Hayes command)
♦ GSM (external modem, Hayes command)
♦ PSTN (UMPC and external modem)
♦ Direct RS485 (internal interface)
Radio modem installed on the port:
♦ 1200/2400 baud FFSK radio (internal modem)
♦ 600/1200 baud FSK radio (internal modem)
♦ 600/1200 baud LL radio (internal modem)
GSM/GPRS modem installed on the port:
♦ GSM (internal modem)
♦ GPRS (internal modem)
GSM/3G modem installed on the port:
♦ GSM (internal modem)
♦ 3G (internal modem)
PSTN modem installed on the port:
♦ PSTN (internal modem)
etc.
Configure the port according to the type of transmission medium wanted
based on the proposed choice.
Important note: A medium not configured or incorrectly configured
generates a fault on the COM card (red fault indicator lamp lit on the front
of the card).

Commissioning Communication configuration
Excerpted from the page: "Configuration/Operating
modes"
3.7.1.1 Configuration of Normal/Standby mode
The Normal/Standby mode allows the two communication ports to the Supervisor to
be used in communication redundancy management.
When the "Normal/Standby" mode is configured as link type on ports 1 and 2, the
"Quality of transmission parameters" section becomes accessible in the "Operating
modes" page and the corresponding parameters can be configured.
This mode requires the use of two communication channels (ports 1 and 2) to
operate.
Two operating modes are possible:
- Balanced mode: No criterion of priority of one channel over the other in this
mode. So long as communication functions on the channel in service, it stays on
that channel. Upon detecting loss of communication on the channel in service, it is
switched over to the other channel. Both channels must be declared as "Balanced".
- Main/Backup mode: In this mode, priority is given to one of the two
communication channels (channel declared as "main"). So long as communication
functions satisfactorily on this channel, it stays on this channel in priority. The
channel declared as "Backup" is used only in the event of operating failure on the
main channel. Return to the main channel can be enabled or inhibited by
configuration ("Authorize return to main channel" parameter). In this case, a time
delay must be set to define when to perform return to the main channel ("time delay
before return" parameter).
Reception quality criteria:
The T200 uses the transmission quality criteria to define the conditions of channel
changeover.
Two communication criteria quality for the T200 are configurable.
They concern the quality of transmission ("TxQuality") and the quality of reception
("RxQuality"). The value to be entered is indicated as a % of sent and received
frames which are correct.
Two separate cases must be considered:
- Master/Master mode (mode with alarms):
When the T200 has to take the initiative of sending frames to transmit an alarm, it
may decide to change transmission channel if the quality of the transmission
connection is not satisfactory. In that case, the T200 evaluates the quality of
transmission according to the quality of the response obtained following a request
upon alarm sent to the Supervisor.
A configurable parameter ("NbSrcv") define the number of repeats to be performed
in the event of poor quality of response by the Supervisor after sending an alarm.
The T200 uses this criterion to consider that the connection is poor and that it is
necessary to change over to the other channel.
- Master/Slave mode (mode without alarm):
In this mode, the T200 is Slave. It cannot take the initiative of changing transmission
channel. It must therefore inform the Supervisor that the connection is poor and that
it is necessary to change over to the backup channel.
To do so, the T200 will stop communicating if it considers that the connection is not
good on the channel in service. The supervisor must therefore be capable of
detecting the communication cutoff and take the initiative of changing over to the
other channel.
In this mode, the T200 cannot estimate the quality of the connection in
transmission. It is only the reception criteria that are taken into account.
Diagnostic:
For each port, the T200 gives information concerning the number of valid frames
sent and received and a quality percentage relative to the number of frames
handled.

3.7.1.2 Configuration of Store & Forward mode
The Store & Forward (or repeater) mode is used only in radio communication.
The Store & Forward function allows a T200 to serve as a radio relay for another
distant T200 which cannot be accessed directly by the Supervisor due to access
problems. The Distant T200 must be within transmission range of the first T200
acting as relay (Repeater T200).
Upon detecting a message which is not addressed to it, the Repeater T200 resends
it over the same channel so as to reroute it toward the T200 for which the message
is destined.
Three types of T200 can be managed in the "Store & Forward" mode:
- StandardT200: This is a conventional T200. It can communicate directly with the
control centre without going the through Repeater T200. This T200 must be
configured with "Normal" link type.
- Repeater T200: This will act as relay for other T200s which cannot communicate
directly with the Supervisor. This T200 must be configured with "Store & Forward"
link type.
- DistantT200: This is a distant T200 which cannot communicate directly with the
Supervisor and which will use the Repeater T200 as communication gateway to be
able to communicate with the Supervisor.
This T200 must be configured with "Normal" link type.
Specifications
The Repeater T200 uses the same port (and hence the same radio) to
communicate with the Supervisor and with the Distant T200s.
The Repeater T200 can manage only 10 Distant T200s at most.
These Distant T200s must be declared by configuration in the Repeater T200.
When the "Store & Forward" mode is configured on the Repeater T200, an
additional "Store & Forward Parameters" section is displayed in the "Operating
mode" page.
This part can be used to configure for each distant T200:
Scadaend link address: This is the address that will have to be defined at the
Supervisor end to access the Distant T200. This address must be configured
identically in the Repeater T200. This address is used only for the SupervisorRepeater T200 connection.
DistantT200 end link address: This is the address that will have to be
configured on the Distant T200 and also identically in the Repeater T200. This
address is used only for the Repeater T200-Distant T200 connection.
The Repeater T200 has its specific link address so that the latter may be used as
a mere Standard T200 in addition to the Repeater function.

Operation
When the Supervisor wants to communicate with one of the Distant T200s, the
latter sends a protocol frame containing the link address of the Distant T200 to be
accessed.
The Repeater T200 receives this frame and sees that the address was not destined
for it but that it corresponds to the address of one of the Distant T200s defined in its
list of 10 Distant terminals.
The Repeater T200 sends back a frame to the corresponding Distant T200,
replacing the link address with that which has been defined for it in its list for this
Distant T200.
The Distant T200 receives the frame and replies to the request with a frame
containing the link address that is specific to it.
color : message including address used by the
color :: message including address used by the
The Repeater T200 receives the reply and sends a frame back to the Supervisor
according to the same principle of replacement of the link address between that
used by the Distant T200 and that used by the Supervisor.
Note: When a Master/Master type link is used, the Distant T200 can initiate
communication to send an alarm. The transmission principle remains the same.
Constraints of the Store & Forward function
1°) Due to rerouting of frames from one end or the other of the Repeater, the
transmission times are longer than for direct access on a Normal T200. For this
reason, the reply waiting times will have to be increased on the Distant T200s.
2°) The Repeater function of the T200 uses only a single transmission port. Radio
traffic over this channel is therefore fairly substantial due to the numerous
messages to be re-transmitted at the Distant T200 end and the Supervisor end.
Message collisions and repetitions must therefore be expected on the radio traffic.
3°) The handling of messages received by the Repeater T200 is treated as a whole.
The Repeater T200 will end retransmission of the message to be handled to the
Supervisor and the Distant T200 before being able to receive and handle other
messages. This constraint may result in repetition phenomena on devices other
than the Repeater T200.
4°) It should be borne in mind that if a Repeater T200 can no longer transmit for
whatsoever reason, all the Distant T200s will be affected by this noncommunication.
5°) The quality of the radio link largely depends on the efficiency of the collision
avoidance function. This function gives good results if the information giving the
busy state of the wireless network is reliable. Now, because the Distant T200s can
pick up frames sent by other T200s, the occupancy state of the wireless network
may be not as efficient as normally. The functioning of the Repeater system may be
degraded for this reason.

3.7.3 "Port 1 (or 2): Transmission" page
Access: "Settings/Port X: Transmission" page
The parameters display for this page depends on the type of modem installed on
the port of the COM card (port 1 or port 2) and on the transmission medium chosen
in the "Settings/Operating Mode" page.
Configuration procedure:
The T200 is factory-delivered with a default configuration corresponding to the type
of modem installed on the COM card (internal modem) or on the sliding plate of the
enclosure (external modem).
The user should then (if need be) adjust the parameters of this page (in particular
the modem management signals and associated time delays) depending on what is
required for the modems used or possibly the transmission network.
Concerning the adjustment of transmission delays, in theory one starts by
configuring high values for all the delays, checking first that dialogue is established
between the T200 and the Supervisor.
One starts by gradually reducing the first time delay in order to determine the
operating limit of the modem relative to the adjusted signal.
Then, this delay is increased by several tens of milliseconds to retain a safety
margin.
The procedure is then started again with the other delays.
This method allows T200-Supervisor transmission times to be optimized.
In case of doubt concerning the configuration, it is preferable to leave the default
values.
Modem management signals:
Before going into detail concerning the parameters to be configured, the function of
each modem management signal should be explained.
The following timing diagram shows the management signals involved during
communication between the T200 modem and the interface or the external radio, or
even directly with the control centre.
DSR (Data Send Ready):
This signal can be supplied to the T200 to indicate that the Control Centre (or the
modem) is capable of transmitting (or simply that it is energized).
This signal is used only in the case of an RS232 link (not used in radio mode).
CD (Carrier Detect):
This signal, when it exists, is used to confirm receipt of the received frame. It can
also be used to learn the transmission network occupancy.
DTR (Data Terminal Ready):
When the Control Centre uses DSR, DTR is used to indicate that the T200 is ready
for transmission (equivalent of DSR but in the other direction).
In radio mode with internal modem: This signal is used by the T200 to actuate radio
terminal transition to sending when it requires different commands for transition to
sending and carrier sending.
In radio mode with external modem: This signal is generally not used (with some
exceptions) because RTS is used as the sole command to cause rising of the send
command and cause rising of the carrier.
NT00113-EN-05
37
Commissioning Communication configuration
RTS (Request To Send):
This signal actuates sending of the modem carrier
CTS (Clear To Send):
After the T200 has performed the Request To Send, the sender sometimes takes a
certain time to rise in power before being able to send the messages submitted to it.
This is especially true for radio equipment. Accordingly, when the equipment is
ready to send, it indicates this to the T200 by causing the CTS signal to rise.
Squelch: This signal is used only in radio mode to indicate to the T200 the
occupancy state of the radio network.
Definition of modem management signals and time delays:
The T200 allows the user to configure, if necessary, use or not of the modem
management signals and the various associated time delays.
We give below the list of configurable options concerning these modem
management signals. Configuration is performed in the pages for ports 1 and 2 of
the T200 Web server:
•Delay before response: After receiving a message, this is the waiting time
before sending the message (response). This delay serves to avoid any
overlapping of signals between the message received and the message sent.
This delay is often used with a radio medium or with certain modems which
require a time lag to turn around, i.e. a minimum time to go from receive mode
to send mode.
♦DTR management: If this option is selected, the DTR signal will be managed
during transmission exchanges with the modem.
• DTR - RTS delay (if RTS used):
♦ RTS management: If this option is selected, the RTS signal will be managed
during transmission exchanges with the modem.
♦CTS management If this option is selected, the CTS signal will be managed
during transmission exchanges with the modem.
♦RTS - CTS delay (if CTS used): This is the maximum time during which the
T200 waits for the CTS after the RTS has been activated. If, after this delay,
CTS has not become active, the T200 discontinues sending the frame.
•RTS (or CTS) delay - Message (if RTS or CTS used): This is the time
between transition to the active state of RTS (or CTS if this signal is used) and
the start of message sending. Typically this time lag is used to wait for a stable
carrier period established by the modem.
If necessary, when CTS is not available, the time for installation of the carrier
to solve the problem posed by the non-availability of this signal can be added
to this delay. Likewise, if the DTR and RTS commands are common, the time
for rise in power of the sender can be added.
38
NT00113-EN-05
Commissioning Communication configuration
Note: Example of delay to be configured on the T200, depending on the type
of radio:
- Motorola CM 340 or GM340 radio: RTS-Message delay = 150 ms
- TAIT 811x radio: RTS-Message delay = 100 ms
- MDS4710 radio: RTS-Message delay = 50 ms
♦Message - RTS delay (if RTS used): This is the minimum time to be waited,
after sending a message, before causing RTS and DTR (or Send command) to
fall again. This delay prevents the end of the message from being truncated by
the premature fall of modem sending.
Note: Example of delay to be configured on the T200, depending on the type
of radio:
- Motorola CM 340 or GM340 radio: Message - RTS delay = 100 ms
- TAIT 811x radio: Message - RTS delay = 80 ms
- MDS4710 radio: Message - RTS delay = 50 ms
♦DSR management If this option is selected, the DSR signal will be managed
during transmission exchanges with the modem.
♦CD management: If this option is selected, the CD signal will be managed
during transmission exchanges with the modem.
General parameters (common to the various transmission
media):
As a general rule, certain configurable parameters of the ports 1 and 2 pages are
common to numerous types of modems. We shall describe in detail here the
meaning of these parameters and how to configure them.
♦Baud rate: This is the speed of transmission between the T200 and the
modem. When an external modem is used, the configured speed is not
necessarily the speed that will be used for the link to the Supervisor, because
the external modem can use a different speed to that used for the RS232-T200
link.
The choice of available speeds differs depending on the type of modem
installed on the ports. Here are a few examples:
FFSK radio: 1200 or 2400 baud
External radio or internal RS232: 200 to 38400 baud
Internal GSM: 600 to 9600 baud
etc.
♦Parity: This is the frame character parity for transmission to the Supervisor.
Some modems do not manage parity. In such cases, the T200 will have to be
configured with the "No parity" option. To be defined therefore according to the
type of modem used. Of course, the Control Centre must also be able to be
configured in this mode.
Note that when the parity is no longer used, transmission security is diminished
and a disturbed frame may be considered correct. (See protocol manual for
more details concerning this function).
There are four possible configurations: no parity, space, even or odd.
Note: Parity is not used in PSTN, GSM, GPRS, 3G and FFSK radio links.
♦Number of stop bits: This is the number of stop bits used to define the end of
a frame during transmission.
There are two possible configurations: one or two stop bits.
•Frame error on idle line: The T200 is capable of detecting a gap greater than
1 bit between 2 characters of a frame.
With certain protocols, any frame having this feature can be rejected. This
allows secure transmission.
This frame rejection will be activated if this option is set to "Yes".
This configuration implies that the Supervisor and the modems involved in the
transmission circuit ensure that there are no gaps. While this is sometimes true
with regard to the Supervisor, it is not completely true for many modems (case
of packet transmission). In this specific case, "No" should be set. However,
transmission security must then be ensured by other means (see User Manual
of the protocol used for more information).
Note: This parameter is used only on a radio or LL link.
•Frame error on noisy outgoing cable: Some transmission networks could
constantly generate noise just at the start of frame. In that case this option
should be set to "No", to avoid systematically rejecting all the received frames
which could be considered incorrect. However, the incorrect character
generated by the noise located in the frame header will be eliminated when
reading the frame, because this character will not correspond to what is
expected by the protocol.
Note that, in most cases, this noise does not exist. In such cases, the option
should be set to "Yes".
Note: This parameter is used only on a radio or LL link.

Parameters specific to each transmission medium:
In this chapter we shall describe in detail the configuration parameters specific to
each modem (the other parameters having been described in detail in the preceding
chapter):
PSTN and GSM medium (internal or external modem):
♦Dialing type: Choice of the type of dialling to be used for the telephone
call to the Supervisor during an alarm sequence.
There are two possible choices: pulse (decimal) and multifrequency (MF).
40
Note: Configuration available in PSTN but not in GSM.
♦Modem Init: The Modem Init sequence is necessary to configure the
modem for operation linked to the T200 application.
The default Init sequence corresponds to the AT commands necessary
for an internal modem (modem installed on the COM card). For an
external modem, the Modem Init sequence is not defined in the
configuration supplied. It is up to the user to define it according to the
brand and model used (refer to the modem manual).
Note: Configuration available in PSTN but not in GSM.
NB: The Modem Init sequence is sent to the modem only after
initialization of the T200 COM card (following a reset or power up of the
T200). After changing the Init sequence, you must remember to
reinitialize the COM card for it to be taken into account by the modem.
Default Init sequence:&F0%S0=12S0=1&K0%C0E0&W0&Y0.
If in doubt, do not change this default Init sequence, because the T200Supervisor link is likely to no longer operate correctly.
♦Caller communication delay: Maximum delay for connection between
the T200 and the Supervisor following a call by the T200 before release
of the PSTN line by the T200.
♦Called communication delay: Maximum delay for connection between
the T200 and the Supervisor following a call by the Supervisor before
release of the PSTN line by the T200.
♦Host tel number (main): Main phone number that the T200 uses to call
the Supervisor during an alarm sequence.
The T200 will try to call three times on this "normal" number before
switching to the "Backup" number.
♦ The codes accepted for telephone numbers are:
0 to 9 (for the call number);
P (for Pulse = decimal dialling setting);
T (for Tone = MF dialling setting);
W (for Wait);
space bar (for space);
+ (equivalent to "00" for international dialling).
Example of config.: "P 00W0674948960" or "P +W0674948960"
Note: A space must be inserted between the "T" or "P" and the call
number.
♦Host telephone number (Standby): Secondary phone number that the
T200 uses to call the Supervisor during an alarm sequence. This phone
number is used only if the main number does not reply (i.e. after three
unsuccessful attempts).
The T200 will also try to call three times on this second number before
finally stopping calling, unless another alarm occurs, which will have the
consequence of reinitiating the alarm calls from the "Normal" number).
Same comment as for the "Normal" number concerning the codes to be
used for the call number.

GSM medium (internal or external modem):
♦ PIN Number: Configuration of the SIM card PIN code on four figures.
NB: After three validations of the page configuration or three modem
initializations with an incorrect PIN code, the SIM card is blocked. The
only solution in this case is to call the operator who will be able to unblock
it.
The first time that the T200 initializes the GSM modem, the latter asks the
modem if it needs the PIN code.
If the modem replies in the negative, the T200 will not manage the PIN
code and the latter will not need to be entered by the user.
On the other hand, if the modem replies that it needs the PIN code, the
T200 will manage this parameter and the PIN code must therefore be
configured.
Once the PIN code has been initialized a first time, the T200 asks the
modem to deactivate use of the PIN code.
The latter will therefore no longer be used by either the T200 or the GSM
modem.
♦SMS service centre tel number: This is the number of the service centre
of the GSM operator which centralizes and stores all the SMS messages
sent to reroute them to the end user.
Contact the operator to know this number. It is also possible to find out
this number from a GSM telephone using the same operator as that used
by the SIM card of the T200, because the number can be looked up in the
telephone's configuration parameters.
Finally, it is also possible to find out this number in the port trace following
connection of the modem to the GSM network. The number is displayed
on the line including the "AT+CSCA" command (see enclosed example:
number=0689004000).
♦SMS user tel number: SMS number that the T200 uses in the event of
an alarm sequence to send the text message to the user who is on
standby duty.
Same comment as for the "Normal" telephone number concerning the
codes to be used for the telephone number.
GSM modem connection status:
To check the connection status of the GSM modem, there are several
possibilities:
By flashing of the indicator lamp on the front of the GSM modem:
- The indicator lamp is lit steadily: the modem is not connected to
the GSM network.
- The indicator lamp flashes slowly (every 2.5 seconds): the
modem is connected to the network but there is no remote link.
- The indicator lamp flashes rapidly (every second): the modem is
connected to the network and a remote link is established.
By consulting the AT commands for modem initialization in the port
trace corresponding to the GSM modem: To the "AT+CREG"
command requested by the T200, the modem should reply "+CREG:
0.1" when the modem is connected to the network or "+CREG: 0.2"
if it is not (see example opposite).
Moreover, when the remote link is established between the T200
and the Supervisor, the port trace also displays protocol frame
exchanges between the T200 and the Supervisor.

Level of GSM reception :
It is possible to know the level of GSM signal received by the modem of
T200.
This function is very useful to know if the T200 can correctly received
frames from the Supervisor or to adjust the installation of the antenna on
the support to optimize the reception.
To know the level of GSM signal received, you just have to consult the
port trace corresponding to GSM modem.
Once the modem is initialized, the T200 display automatically on screen
the level of GSM signal reception.
Remark : When the T200 detect a frame form the Supervisor, the display
of protocol frames gets priority from the GSM level indication.
FSK or FFSK radio medium (internal or external modem):
♦Caller communication delay: Maximum delay for connection between
the T200 and the Supervisor following a call by the T200 before release
of the radio link by the T200.
♦Called communication delay: Maximum delay for connection between
the T200 and the Supervisor following a call by the Supervisor before
release of the radio link by the T200.
FSK LL 600/1200 baud medium (internal modem):
♦Line type: Configuration of the type of LL line installed between the T200
and the Supervisor.
There are two possible configurations: two-wire or four-wire.
NT00113-EN-05
Commissioning Communication configuration
RS485 medium (internal modem):
♦Polarization: Activates line polarization at the T200 end. The RS485 line
should be polarized at one termination, generally at the Master end.
♦End-of-line resistance: Activates the load résistance at the T200 end.
The RS485 line should be loaded at both its terminations.
♦Line type: Choice of type of transmission used: 2-wire or 4-wire.
GPRS or 3G medium (internal modem):
GPRS/3G operating conditions on T200:
For GPRS or 3G communication between the T200 and the Supervisor to be
able to operate, certain essential conditions must be obtained from the network
operator:
- The T200 must have a fixed IP address assigned by the operator:
The GPRS or 3G connection will not be able to operate if the T200 has a
dynamic IP address, because at the Supervisor end it will not be possible to
know the new IP addresses assigned to the T200 by the operator following a
reassignment. As a result, it will not be possible to initialize protocol
communication from the Supervisor.
Likewise, it will not be possible either to log on to the embedded Web server of
the T200 remotely from an Ethernet access if the IP address of the T200 is not
known.
The only way to know the IP address of the T200 in this case is to log on
locally (on site) to the embedded Web server of the T200 via an USB access,
which is hardly possible because that would imply going to the site for each
enclosure each time an IP address is reassigned.
As soon as the T200 is connected to the GPRS or 3G network, the IP address
assigned to the T200 is displayed in the "ServerIP address" field that can be
consulted in the "Maintenance/IP server ports" page (see image below). It is
this address that must be used at the Supervisor end to connect to the T200
via Ethernet or via the protocol.
Comment: When connection to the GPRS or 3G network is not established,
dashes ("-") are displayed in place of the IP addresses.
- The IP ports used by the T200 must be opened by the operator:
A number of ports are used for the T200 application. The list of ports
used can be consulted in the "Maintenance - IP server ports" page of
the T200 Web server (see image below). All the ports mentioned in
this page must be opened at the GPRS/3G operator level for the
functions associated with these ports to be able to operate. If this is
not the case, it is always possible to select different port numbers in
this page to match port numbers available at the operator end.
Example: "HTTP server" port N°80 is not open for the operator
"Orange". A port number greater than 1024 should be configured on
the T200 to have an open port from this operator.
NT00113-EN-05

Commissioning Communication configuration
Configuration of GPRS or 3G parameters:
♦Access Point Name (APN): Access Point Name. Name of the access point
for connection to the GPRS/3G network. This name is generally given by the
operator who provides access to the GPRS/3G network.
(e.g. "internet-entreprise" for the operator Orange).
♦ PIN number: Same as for GSM modem.
♦ Daily disconnect: One of the special features of GPRS/3G operation is that in
some cases of network unavailability, the T200 does not detect this link break.
The T200 will therefore remain connected continually to the network
(unavailable) even though the physical link is broken. The T200 can therefore
remain indefinitely in this mode and will no longer have a means of
reconnecting to the network, even if is available again, because to do so it
would have to be forced to disconnect from the network to then be able to
reconnect.
As a consequence, without a means of forcing automatic
disconnection/reconnection, the T200 will not by itself be able to restore
connection to the network.
The "Daily disconnection" option has therefore been provided to play this role
and thus allow T200 disconnection from the GPRS/3G network to be forced
automatically so as to reconnect it immediately afterward. This disconnection
can be programmed for a fixed time each day by means of the "Disconnection time" setting.
This system works, but has the disadvantage that in the worst case scenario
the T200 may remain for at most 24 hours without any real connection to the
network (case of a brief network failure occurring just after the daily
disconnection time).
♦Disconnect hour: Configuration of the selected daily disconnection time
according to the criteria described previously in "Daily disconnection".
This option should be entered only if the "Daily disconnection" option is used.
♦PPP session timeout: Configuration of the delay maximum before
disconnection of T200 from GPRS/3G network, in case of no data transfer
detected by the T200.
♦Specific ping IP address: The ping in theory makes it possible to verify and
measure the quality of the equipment's connection with another device
connected to the IP network.
This configurable parameter can determine to what IP address will be sent the
packet corresponding to the ping allowing this quality to be measured.
Configure, for example, a known Web server IP address or possibly that of the
supervisor, provided that the latter incorporate a known fixed IP address.
The configured address must correspond to a standard IP address format, i.e.
be in the form of four values of at most three digits separated by a dot (e.g.
192.168.2.101).
Operating principle of the regular ping test:
For the T200 application, the regular ping test is used chiefly as a means of
extending connection to the GPRS/3G network, when the Supervisor is no
longer capable of performing protocol communication with the T200 even
though the GPRS/3G network is still operational. Now, the T200 is designed to
monitor the IP data packet flow reaching it via the GPRS/3G network.
A 5 min. time delay (“PPP session timeout”) automatically disconnects the
T200 from the GPRS/3G network if no IP data flow reaches the T200.
Accordingly, if the T200 is disconnected from the network, the modem will be
reinitialized, thereby making the T200 unavailable for 1 min., the time needed
for reconnection of the modem to the GPRS/3G network.

To avoid this drawback, the regular ping test is used to prevent disconnection
of the T200 when the problem is exclusively due to the Supervisor and not to a
network problem. In other words, if the T200 is still connected to the GPRS/3G
network, there is no reason to disconnect it because of a non-existent IP
protocol flow.
As soon as a ping address has been configured in this field, the T200 will try
every 4 minutes (“Ping time interval”) to send a ping to the specified IP
address. Accordingly, an IP data flow will return to the T200 and the latter will
not cut off the connection to the network.
If the result of the ping test is satisfactory, the T200 will remain connected to
the network, because it knows that it is available. The T200 will then do
nothing in particular except for the next ping test following the next 4 minutes
elapsed.
If the result of the ping test is unsatisfactory, after an extra minute the T200,
seeing no IP data flow for the last 5 min., will disconnect from the network
automatically (modem reset), and then try (after the end of modem
initialization) to reconnect to the network again.
If the network is still not available, the T200 will again request the modem to
reinitialize immediately, and this indefinitely until the next detection of the
network.
This phase of initialization and reconnection to the network requires
approximately 1 min. for the GPRS/3G modem (see enclosed diagram).
If the ping address is set to "0.0.0.0" (default value), the regular ping test is
deactivated.
Comment: The regular ping test method is preferable to the "Daily
disconnection" method because, for the regular ping test, network
disconnection lasts only 5 min. at most during a brief failure (case of network
disconnection just after the ping test).
Note: The regular (or manual) ping test sends to the specified IP address the
smallest possible number of data packets (equivalent to 0 byte), to avoid
causing the extra cost of an IP data flow transfer.
TA = Time for modem initialization + connection to the GPRS/3G network
(approximately 1 minute)
TB = Ping test period (4 minutes)

♦Test Ping: Allows manually activation of the ping test. A click on this button
starts a manual ping test. This manual test is generally used to verify T200
connection to the GPRS/3G network immediately.
The T200 then displays the result of the test in a specific window (see
enclosed windows).
There are two possible results following this test: "Ping Ok" or "Pingfailed"
Example of port trace in the event of a connection
to the GPRS network
♦ Ping time interval: Delay between two successive automatic “Test ping”.
♦ Ping attempts: Number of maximum attempts for the “Test ping” process in
case of no response from remote IP address.
♦Ping time out: Maximum delay to wait for the response during the “Test ping”
to define “Ping error”.
♦Authentication: When the GPRS/3G network requires authentication during
the connection phase, it is possible in such cases to activate this function by
checking the corresponding box.
The authorized encryption protocols are:
- PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAP V2
♦Login: Configuration of the login used for authentication. Configure this field
only if the "Authentication" option has been checked.
♦Password: Configuration of the password used for authentication. Configure
this field only if the "Authentication" option has been checked.
Note: To check that the modem is correctly connected to the GPRS/3G
network, it is possible to consult the trace of the port corresponding to the
GPRS/3G modem. The modem starts by initializing the GSM connection and
then the GPRS/3G connection. Accordingly, following the AT commands for
connection to the GSM network can be found the commands relating to
GPRS/3G connection. At the end of them, the trace should indicate "GPRS/3G
modem initialized" with also the indication of the IP addresses of the T200
assigned by the operator (
GPRS/3G gateway provider (
local=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the IP address of the
dest=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) (see example opposite).
Modem connection status:
Same comment as for the GSM modem.
Connection speeds in TCP/IP communication
Depending on the connection type, the T200/Scada link can be implemented
at different speeds. This is a maximum connection speed. They depend on
many factors such as the network's availability, the received signal level or the
location of the receiver:
• GPRS: max. bit rate = 19.2 Kbits/s (in practice)
• EDGE: max. bit rate = 64 Kbits/s (in theory)
• 3G: max. bit rate = 2 Mbits/s (in theory), 115 Kbits/s (in practice)
Automatic switchover of the 3G modem
The 3G modem has the feature that it can automatically switch over to EDGE
or GPRS mode if the 3G connection is momentarily unavailable, with the
possibility of returning to 3G mode automatically if connection is restored. This
provides a backup for the TCP/IP link.
Connection is therefore preserved in the event of a network problem, on
condition that the other EDGE or GRPS modes are available. Only the
transmission rate is affected by this automatic switchover from one network to
another.

set the parameter, an analogue value can be written to this address.
3.8 Switch control parameters
Objective : Set processing of the switch control for each channel.
Access: "Settings/Control & Automation" page.
► Type of control:
There are four possible options: Standard, PM6, CI2, Other
Comment: The "CI2" and "Other" options are not managed at present.
The "PM6" option is managed but applies only to the T200 P.
The management of switch position control and monitoring signals is specific to
each type of switch.
The "Standard" option applies to the main cubicles used with a T200 I, in particular
Schneider cubicles of type SM6 or RM6.
Filtering principle for indication inputs related to remote
controls:
The interface between the T200 and the switch includes two electric signals for
motorization control (CO: Opening control / CF: closing control) and two signals for
the current switch position (O: open position / F: closed position).
The T200 systematically performs a consistency check on the positions read: it is in
theory impossible to have the "open" and "closed" signals simultaneously or neither
of the two signals at the same time, but this may occur following a system
malfunction. This complementary of the switch states is verified cyclically for
updating the states of the associated TSD variables.
In the case of non-complementary values, filtering is applied and the old TSD value
is kept during a configurable time delay (see No complementary filtered time
parameter). If the non-complementary persists after the time delay, this is probably
due to a fault relating to the signals delivered by the switch and the "undefined"
state is finally indicated in the TSD associated with the position.

Principle for switch position order processing:
The T200 internal control manager inhibits any order until the previous order has
been completed. The order processing status can be known by consulting the
events from the supervisor or in the local event log.
The events generated according to the order processing status are summarized in
the following table:
TCD xx - Switch state - Order
CR order in progress
3.8.1 "Standard" type control
This switch option is in theory not applicable for the T200 P. Applies only to
the T200 I combined with a Merlin Gerin SM6 or RM6 type switch.
The principle of an order on the switch is to activate the switch control signal (24V
or 48V polarity depending on the model) for a determined time (Operating time
parameter).
With "Standard" control, the duration of the order is therefore fixed by this time
delay and does not depend on the time taken by the switch to change position.
The Open and Closed switch position inputs are read constantly throughout the
duration of the order with a consistency check so as to update the associated
position TSD variable (see Filtering principle for indication inputs related to remote
controls).
After the control relay has fallen, the order is considered as completed by the T200
when the switch indicates a position in conformity with the order (the TSD is
updated with the new status). The order is considered in error (e.g. external error) if
the position is not in conformity with the requested order or if undefined after a loss
of position filtering time delay (Return position waiting time).

3.8.2 "PM6" type control
Reminder: The "PM6" configuration applies to the Merlin Gerin PM6 type switch.
With this type of switch, the principle is to apply the motor control signal until the
requested position is obtained. This control will be maintained only during a
configurable limited period (Return position waiting time parameter), and this in
the event that the position indicated by the TSD variable is not that which is
expected by the T200 (case of degraded control).
With this type of switch, the time for execution of the electrical order therefore
depends exclusively on the time taken by the switch to change position.
The Open and Closed switch statuses are read constantly with a consistency check
so as to update the associated position TSD variable (see Filtering principle for indication inputs related to remote controls).

Commissioning Configuration of the various options
3.9 Parameters of the various options
Access: "Settings/Control & automation" page.
Some specific options allow operation of the T200 to be customized for the needs of
certain users.
One must be a system administrator to be able to modify these options.
The T200 is generally delivered without these specific options being activated
(factory settings).
The list of these configurable options is described in detail below:
BVE control (DOUT 1):
When this option is selected, digital output DOUT 1 is activated to cause
flashing of an external fault indication indicator lamp.
This output is activated as soon as the internal fault detector of the T200
detects and indicates the presence of a phase or earth fault.
DDEF test (DOUT 2):
When this option is selected, digital output DOUT 2 is activated whenever a
current exceeds the phase or earth fault detection threshold configured on the
T200.
The output goes low as soon as the fault returns below the threshold.
Double power supply management (DOUT 3):
When this option is selected, digital output DOUT 3 is used for the double
mains power supply management option if the latter is installed in the
enclosure.
This output can automatically actuate the power supply changeover relay in
the event of a power outage on the active channel.
T200 without COM card:
This option should be used when the T200 includes no COM card in the
equipment.
SF6 lack copying (channel1 on DI3, channel2 on
DI4) :
To be compatible with old versions of T200P (Series 1&2), the information
"SF6 lack" (connected on Harting switch connector - pin 9) is internally
associated to DI3 (channel 1) or to DI 4 (channel 2). So, when the "SF6 lack"
is detected, the DI3 (or DI4) is activated at the same time.
Note : If this option is checked, the DI 3 and DI 4 are not any more available
as digital inputs because they are already defined as “SF6 lack”.

8-bit measurement:
By default, on the T200 P series 3, the current (or voltage) measurements are
coded on 16 bits, whereas on the preceding series they were coded on 8 bits.
By selecting this option, however, it is possible to make the T200 compatible
with the old-generation T200s. This option is used especially when a
Supervisor already polls T200s of an old generation with measurements on 8
bits. Now, a given Supervisor can hardly read measurements in 2 different
formats.
Note: It is important to use the "OFF Line Configurator" to generate a
configuration file compatible with this option, because the option also implies a
change in configuration of the T200's internal variables.
Circuit breaker signalisation management :
There are several ways of acquiring status information coming from the switch
(pins 7, 8 and 9 of the 10-pin Harting connector for cubicle connection). The
option chosen affects the way in which the T200 processes this information.
There are several possible choices for this option:
Standard: This is the factory settings. The connections for the switch link
corresponding to this mode are shown opposite.
In this mode, the presence of the "Switch locked" signal inhibits the
execution of orders on the switch.
The "MVvoltage present" signal is used by the ACO automatic control.
Earth breaker management by TSD: As standard, a single signal
coming from the switch is used to give the T200 the status of the earthing
switch (pin 7 of the 10-pin Harting connector).
By selecting this option, an additional input (pin 8) is used to manage the
earthing switch as a TSD and not a TSS.
The "Earthed Open Position" absent and "Earthed Closed Position"
present states inhibit the execution of orders on the switch.
The ACO automatic control cannot be used in this mode.
Free TSS: In this mode, pins 7 and 8 normally assigned to "Switch
locked" and "MV voltage present" can be used freely. They therefore
have no function predefined by the T200. They are merely DIs.
There is no inhibition of execution of orders on the switch whatever the
status of the free inputs.
The ACO automatic control cannot be used in this mode.
Specific mode 1: This mode is similar to the "Earthing switch
management by TSD" mode, with an additional special feature:
When the T200 is in local mode, all orders to the switch are inhibited. The
automatic controls can therefore no longer operate in Local mode.
The connection system is identical to the "Earthing switch management
by TSD" mode.
Note: Same comment as for the previous option concerning the
possibility of using the "OFF Line Configurator" to generate a
configuration file compatible with this option.
Position reading of sector circuit breaker :
Option only available when the AC supply protection is made by circuit
breaker instead of fuse holder. When this option is used, the T200
manage DI 5 to indicate when circuit breaker protection is open.
U measurements by capacitor divisor other than
RL27:
Case of voltage measurement done by capacitor divisor (RL27 type) but
without using the calibration process done by RL27.
Hit and Run function (availability to be confirmed)
This option makes it possible to add a time delay before execution of a
local control order sent via a switch. The operator can thus leave the
MV/LV substation before switchover of the switch (thus providing extra
safety). This time delay is configurable. During application of the time
delay, the indicator lamp showing the switch's position on the local
monitoring panel flashes slowly (once per sec.). By default, the time delay
is set to 15 seconds. It is configurable from 0 s to 15 s in increments of 1
s. Configure 0 s to deactivate the Hit & Run function.

3.10 Automation parameters
Access: "Settings/Control & Automation" page.
3.10.1 Sectionalizer automation control
The purpose of this automatic control is to order opening of the MV switch managed
by the T200 following the detection of a number of fault currents during
unsuccessful slow resetting cycles for the upstream circuit breaker. The
sectionalizer automatic control therefore converts the switch into a sectionalizing
switch.
For the automatic control to work, the T200 must be provided with the fault current
detection function.
For automatic control to operate on a channel, it must be selected for that channel
(Automatic type parameter).
It is possible to assign the presence of automatic control or not channel by channel.
All the channels of the T200 can be configured with this automatic control or not.
Automatic control can be enabled or disabled, in general on the T200 (TCD 9),
remotely from the Supervisor or locally via the CONTROL panel of the T200.
NB: It is not possible to change the type of automatic control on a channel
when the "automatic control Enabled/Disabled" TSD (TSD 9) is in ON position.
It is essential to return TSD9 to OFF position to be able to change type of
automatic control on one of the channels.
Likewise, it is not possible to send a remote control to the TSD 9 to place it in
ON position, if no automatic control is activated on one of the channels of the
corresponding CONTROL module.
Manual control of the switches remains possible in “Local” mode from the
CONTROL panel or in "remote" mode from the Supervisor, even if automatic control
is activated in ON position.
Operation:
In nominal operating conditions, the line is energized and the switch is closed.
The automatic control system sends an opening order to the switch if:
- the switch is closed;
- the counted number of fault currents is reached;
- the current fault has disappeared;
- the MV voltage is not present.
Important note: The "Rapid" fault can be counted as the first fault detected by the
T200 if the time to detect the "slow" fault configured on the T200 is less than the
actual time of presence of the first "rapid" fault or if the actual time of presence of
the rapid fault is the same as that for the slow fault (that depends on the network
configuration).
The enclosure must be powered from a low-voltage source generated by the
MV line on which the unit is installed.

3.10.2 ATS automatic control (source changeover)
Automatic changeover control manages automatic changeover of voltage sources
of the MV secondary distribution network to ensure maximum availability of voltage,
in case of failure of one of the voltage sources.
Accordingly, upon disappearance of the voltage on one channel, changeover to the
other channel is performed automatically, depending on the options configured.
To activate "ATS" automatic transfer system on a channel, simply set the Type of Automatic Control variable in the specific page of the embedded Web server
("Control and Automation" page):
Several operating modes can be selected (Operating mode parameter), namely:
SW1 SW2 orSW2 SW1 mode:
This option allows only one changeover to be enabled.
Automatic transfer system switches only from the priority channel to the backup
channel. Automatic transfer system then remains on that channel.
Semi-Auto SW1 SW2 mode:
In the event of a voltage loss on the active channel, automatic transfer system
switches to the other channel after a time delay T1.
In this mode, there is no concept of priority source. Changeover to one or other of
the channels takes place as soon as the changeover conditions are met.
Auto SW1 or Auto SW2 mode:
In this mode, one can define a concept of priority of one channel relative to the
other (channel 1 or 2). Automatic transfer system remains on the priority channel so
long as the voltage associated with that channel is present.
In the event of a voltage loss on the priority channel, automatic transfer system
switches to the other channel after a time delay T1. After the changeover, return to
the priority channel occurs if the voltage on that channel is present during a time
delay T2.
Changeover sequences:
In the event of voltage loss on the normal channel, changeover involves opening
the normal channel after time delay T1 and then closing the backup channel.

Changeover takes place if the following conditions are met:
■ Automatic control enabled.
■ Position of channel 1 and 2 switches complementary: TSD variable SW1 closed

■ No fault current on the two channels
■ "MV earthing switch" absent on the two channels;
■ MV voltage absent on the enabled channel;
■ MV voltage present on the other channel.
Return to the main channel for the “AUTO” modes occurs if:
■ the priority channel is open;
■ the MV voltage on the priority channel is present during time delay T2.
Special feature of reset upon MV voltage return:
When a current fault is stored in memory on one of the two channels managed by
ATS automatic control, MV presence is necessary on both channels at the same
time to reset the memory of this fault.
This rule is valid even if only one of the two channels has been configured with
active reset upon MV voltage return.

3.10.3 Voltage time automatic control
Voltage Time automatic control is not supplied as a standard feature. It is
available on option (specific software version for EDP).
Voltage Time (VT) automatic control is used for certain switches without current
sensors not allowing the network to be reconfigured by means of Sectionalizer
automatic control.
This automatic control system works on the principle of opening all the switches on
the network in the event of a voltage loss (opening of upstream circuit breaker) and
gradually restoring the network power by closing the switches in succession, one
after the other.
If the closing of a switch causes line tripping, the switch is blocked in open position
and the cycle restarts to restore power in the healthy upstream part.
The circuit-breaker upstream protection should also be provided with the Voltage
Time automatic control function.
For this function, the following options are required on the T200 P:
Voltage measurement and monitoring.
Voltage Time automatic control enabled on the channel (by configuration).
Operation:
The line is energized and the switch is closed.
Mains voltage loss: switch opening following a timeout To (Voltage failure
timeout parameter).
Voltage return: switch closing following timeout T1 (Closing timeout parameter)
and monitoring of voltage maintenance during a timeout T2 (Monitoring timeout
parameter).
Voltage loss during timeout T2: switch opening and automatic control locking.
The automatic control function is reinitialized following locking by the “Reset
automation” push button on the local CONTROL panel.
Note : The delay "T1" must be different on each T200 so that the automation VT
can work properly (the lower value on the T200 nearest the circuit breaker).
The VT function can be activated or deactivated from the local control panel or by a
telecontrol order. The switches can be controlled manually in “Local” mode.

General rule for configuration:
The thresholds Imax and I0 should be set on the T200 to correspond to those set on
the circuit breaker protection device upstream of the network.
In theory, the fault detection thresholds and time delays to be set on the T200
should be slightly less than those of the upstream circuit breaker protection device
so that the T200 may detect presence of the fault current before opening of the
circuit breaker.
Moreover, the current configured for the earth fault on the T200 should be greater
than the downstream capacitive current.

Why a fault confirmation time?
In theory, in the event of a fault, any current exceeding the configured threshold
should be followed by opening of the circuit breaker, to avoid incorrect fault
indications.
When a current exceeds the threshold and the detection time, the algorithm of the
T200 fault detector waits until the circuit breaker opens (detection of voltage absent)
before actually indicating the fault. The maximum waiting time for circuit-breaker
opening is called the fault confirmation time
(Default value set in factory: 3 seconds).
Comment: If the circuit breaker opens 1 second after occurrence of the fault, the
T200 indicates the fault as soon as circuit-breaker opening is detected and not just
after the 3 seconds' wait. On the other hand, if voltage absent is detected only after
the 3 seconds, the fault is not indicated.
Why a reset time upon voltage return?
Once the fault has been indicated by the T200, it is stored in memory so long as the
mains voltage is absent, to be able to locate the fault on the network during general
interrogation of the T200 from the Supervisor. By default, this memory is cleared
upon mains voltage return (configurable parameter).
NT00113-EN-05
57
Commissioning Fault detector configuration
Why use the inrush?
In the event of circuit-breaker closing, the strong inrush currents corresponding to
the currents for magnetisation of the transformers and saturation of the toroids
downstream of the fault can trigger the fault detectors for the equipment on the MV
network.
Generally, this type of fault does not last very long and weakens rather quickly
(significant duration < 200 ms). They can therefore be filtered easily by using the
"Inrush" function, designed to ignore the presence of any fault during 3 seconds
after closing of the circuit breaker.
The disadvantage of this operating procedure is that if a real fault appears during
these 3 seconds, it will not be taken into account by the T200.
It is therefore not always advantageous to use the inrush function.
It in fact depends on the network characteristics, and in particular the time of
presence of the first "Rapid" fault during the upstream circuit-breaker reset cycle.
Several scenarios are therefore conceivable depending on this fault duration:
The inrush should be used in the following cases:
If there are tripping/resetting cycles (with presence of inrush currents).
If the time delay for the first "Rapid" fault of the circuit-breaker cycle is fairly
short, approximately 100 ms (rule also valid for the second "Normal" fault, but
generally the second fault lasts a longer time than the first one).
If the first "Rapid" fault needs to be detected.
There is no need to use the inrush in the following case (alternative solution if
possibility of configuration):
If there are tripping/resetting cycles (without presence of inrush currents).
If the time delay for the first "Rapid" fault of the circuit-breaker cycle is fairly
long, exceeding 200 ms (rule also valid for the second "Normal" fault, but
generally the second fault lasts a longer time than the first one).
If the first "Rapid" fault does not need to be detected.
Comment: The "Rapid" fault is not counted by the "Sectionalizer" automatic
control).
Alternative configuration solution without inrush with the T200:
No inrush (standard configuration)
Rapid Imax < 80 ms, Normal Imax > 200 ms

3.11.5 Configuration of supply voltage monitoring
The T200 activates an "Immediate AC supply OFF" indication (TSS 17) as soon as
the enclosure's mains supply voltage is absent.
Another "Delayed AC supply OFF" indication (TSS18) is activated when TSS17 is
activated for a time exceeding a configurable period (see opposite).
TSS 18 therefore plays a role of power supply under voltage signal filtering. The
purpose of this filtering is not to send too many successive alarms to the Supervisor
whenever TSS17 changes state, following regular MV network failures (e.g. during
circuit-breaker reset cycles). It is therefore preferable to use the alarms on the
TSS18 rather than on the TSS17 in some cases.
Note: The alarms can be generated only if the remote alarm function is activated on
the equipment.

Access: "Settings/Variable configuration" page.
3.12.1 Definition of variables
T200 is supplied as standard with all the variables necessary for operation of the
equipment. This configuration takes into account all the options installed on the
equipment (number of channels, type of modem, protocol, other options, etc.).
The user can, however, modify this configuration to adapt it to his needs, for
example to add options later or to modify the operation of certain functions (e.g.
fault detector thresholds, alarms, communication parameters, etc.).
The T200 Web server provides access to all the variables defined by default on the
T200.
The level of access to a variable (visible in read-only mode, accessible in write
mode, not visible) depends on how the variables have been configured.
The parameters for this page can be consulted and/or modified depending on the
user profile.
With the factory settings, you must be an administrator to be able to change the
level of access to a variable.
To consult the list of variables configured on the equipment, open the
"Settings/Variable configuration" page.
The variables present in this page are grouped by classes.
In each class, a number of variables of several different types are found ("type"
column).
Variable types:
The variables break down into several types presented in the table below.

In the standard version it is not possible add extra variables to those already
created as standard.
Note: However, when the "local Modbus network" option is present in the
equipment, it is possible to add variables corresponding to this option (see "local Modbus network" User Manual for more information).
Variable addresses:
All the variables can be configured with an external address. This external address
allows the variable to be made accessible in read or write mode from the Supervisor
by means of the protocol used for transmission.
A variable which has no address configured (address = "-") will not be accessible
from the Supervisor.
The values of the addresses configured depend on the type of protocol used.
Note: Refer to the user manual for the protocol installed on the T200 for more
information concerning the addressing tables related to this protocol.

Saving variables
T200 included a number of logs allowing archiving of events of various types (event
log, alarm log, measurement log).
The logs can be accessed by the user via the embedded Web server ("Diagnostic"
page).
All the variables can be configured separately with or without being saved as a
measurement (if it is a measurement), event or alarm in these logs.
Note: The system log, for its part, does not take into account variable changes of
state but rather information concerning the internal operation of the equipment.
When a variable is configured to be saved in a log, a specific symbol appears in the
Variable configuration page on the same line as the variable:
= Saving to alarm log
= Saving to event log or to measurement log (if it is a measurement).
:
3.12.2 Events associated with variables
An event is generated by the T200 when a change of state occurs on a variable.
The T200 manages two types of event tables associated with these changes of
state:
The local event table: This is the event log that can be consulted locally
on the T200. The changes of state concerning variables can be recordable in
this log or not, the aim being to have a history of changes of variables. For the
recording of a change of state on a variable to be effective, the variable must
have been defined by configuration as an event ("event" (TM) or "activate
recording" (TSS, TSD) box checked in the variable configuration page).
The protocol event table: This is an event stack for protocol
communications. This stack will be read by the Supervisor during
communications between the T200 and the Supervisor. Contrary to local
events, it is not possible to configure a variable with or without saving in the
protocol event stack. This is because any change of state on a variable
automatically generates saving in this protocol event stack (except for TMs for
which one can choose to configure event saving in the stack or not).
Since protocol events are not configurable, we shall speak in the remainder of the
chapter only of configuration of the events associated with the local logs.
For each type of variable, it is possible to choose how to process the variable for its
associated saving (with alarm or not, criterion for saving in an internal log).
The following table summarizes how to save these events for each type of variable.
This table is valid for each type of internal log (except the system log).

Settings available in the Settings/Variable configuration

Choice of alarm level
In the local logs, events are registered with a brief descriptive text corresponding to
the change of state of the variable and a date and time of occurrence saved by the
T200 for locating them in time.
3.12.3 Alarm reporting / Alarm acknowledgement
An alarm should be used for events which must be indicated rapidly to the
Supervisor, i.e. without waiting for interrogation by the Supervisor (e.g. if the
interrogation frequencies of the SCADA system are rather spaced out over time).
The alarms are therefore valid only for non-permanent type transmission (e.g.
PSTN, GSM, Radio), i.e. for types of transmission which require a deliberate
interrogation action by the Supervisor.
On a permanent connection (RS232, RS485, OF, GPRS/3G, LL), it is therefore not
necessary to use the remote alarm function because the retransmission of
information between the T200 and the Supervisor theoretically takes place fairly
regularly or even continuously (e.g. polling).
Note that the "Alarm configuration" section is displayed in the configuration page for
the variable only if the protocol is configured as Master/Master and if at least one of
the communication ports is of the non-permanent type.
Alarm levels in PSTN or GSM:
On a PSTN or GSM link, three configurable access levels associated with an alarm
allow definition of the various ways of processing calls during retransmission of an
alarm:
"sms" level: retransmission of the alarm by SMS to an operator on standby duty.
"scada" level: retransmission of the alarm by the protocol to the Supervisor.
"scada + sms" level: retransmission of the alarm by the protocol and by SMS.
Call sequences triggering an alarm on a non-permanent link:
On a non-permanent link, any change of state of a variable, if the latter has been
configured to trigger an alarm, give rise to the sending of frames to the Supervisor
to inform it of the change of state that has occurred. At the same time, the T200
saves the change of state information in the alarm log.
In PSTN or GSM, the T200 attempts to join the Supervisor three times on the main
telephone number, then if this fails makes three further attempts on the backup
telephone number. If the call still does not get through, the calls are stopped unless
a new alarm occurs, which reinitiates the call sequence from the normal number.
The call sequences take into account the time delays configured in the "Protocol"
page (refer to the Protocol manual for more details).
In radio mode, the T200 attempts to send a frame over the radio network to the
Supervisor to retransmit the change of state information. If the call does not get
through, the T200 attempts to call the Supervisor indefinitely without any restriction
regarding the number of attempts. The call sequences take into account the time
delays configured in the "Protocol" page. It is recommended not to configure
excessively short time delays so as not to mobilize the radio network constantly
(refer to the Protocol manual for more details).
In all cases, receipt of the event triggering an alarm by the SCADA system causes
acknowledgement of the alarm.
If the alarm information does not reach the Supervisor, no acknowledgement is
performed.
The acknowledgement of alarms by the SCADA system can be checked in the
"Alarm log" via the checked box opposite the alarm that has been acknowledged.
NB: This box is checked by the T200 only for alarm retransmissions on nonpermanent links. This is not managed for permanent links.
Note: The acknowledgement is internal to the T200 and is the subject of no
particular order from the Supervisor in the frame destined for the T200.

The choice of "Normalized" or "Adjusted" configuration is generally made in the
"Protocol" page.
It should be noted that, unlike the measurements, the Min. and Max. values
configured for the counters do not affect counter sending in the protocol frames to
the Supervisor.
Internal counting:
For a DI type variable:
Pulse counter: The counter is incremented at each switchover of the
variable to high state.
Time counter: The T200 calculates the period during which the
variable is in the high or low state. The display in the monitoring page is
in the form "day, hour, minute, second".
Integrating meter: Over a given range of time (integration period), the
T200 calculates the number of high states of the variable.
For example, the integrating meter makes it possible to obtain power
values from a power meter with pulse output.
For an AI/AO type variable:
Integrating meter: The meter is incremented each second by the
current value of the defined analogue variable.
For example, the T200 can poll power type analogue variables on the
Modbus Master port; the meter can then obtain the energy from the
power calculation.
“Mean” counter: The counter analyses an analogue variable and
displays the mean value of the variable over the configured integration
period. This function allows smoothing of analogue variables in

Modification concerns only the change of class name or the possibility of making a
class visible or invisible in the pages of the Web server.
To modify the name of a class, simply change the title in the class entry field and
click on the associated "Save" button.
A specific check box can be used to define whether a class and the variables
associated with that class will be visible in the monitoring pages ("Monitoring" and
"Control" pages).
Selection of this check box and a click on the "Save" button makes the class visible
in the pages (and conversely for deselection).
Deleting a class:
A specific check box in the page can be used to delete an existing class.
Selection of this check box and a click on the "Delete" button permanently erases

4.1 Operating mode
Easergy T200 P can be used locally via the Control module or remotely from a
remote control station, depending on the position of the “Local/Remote” switch.
An indicator lamp showing the status of the equipment is located at the top of the
control panel (front panel of the Control module).
A PC can be connected to the "COM" module to provide further information about
the status of Easergy T200 P and its operating history.
NT00113-EN-05
75
Operation Control and monitoring
4.1.1 Switch control
The switches can only be controlled via the Control module if:
The battery is connected
The “Local/Remote” switch is set to “Local”;
24 V/48 V voltage is present;
When an order is implemented, the switch moves to the complementary position:
If a switch is off, a switch-on order can be given.
If a switch is on, a switch-off order can be given.
4.1.2 Other orders
The Power supply module is used to reset the power supply:
It can reinstate the “Telecoms supply” when this output has been cut off due to
over consumption.
It can reinstate the supply to the equipment after it has been switched off due
to an excessive drop in the 12 V supply.
4.2 Testing of indicator lamps and fault
detection
On the Control module, a stored fault current is shown by a red indicator lamp
included in each channel block diagram.
A “Test” pushbutton is used to trigger simultaneous testing of all the control
panel indicator lamps and at the same time testing of fault detection acquisition
systems.
So long as the "Test" button is held down, all the CONTROL panel indicator
lamps remain lit. This allows indicator lamp operation to be checked.
When the "Test" button is released, all the indicators go out except the channel
indicator lamps which remain lit for 3 seconds.
A lit indicator lamp indicates that fault detection is functioning on the channel
(simulation of phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth current faults with fictitious
750 A current).
The “Reset” pushbutton is used to erase stored fault currents.

5 Maintenance
General
The equipment does not require regular maintenance.
The integrated battery test keeps users informed of the battery availability status.
Note: Replacement fuses are provided in the “accessories” bag attached inside the
basic enclosure.
The T200 has certain tools to perform maintenance or fault finding on the
equipment.
This requires a PC-compatible microcomputer with Internet Explorer (or an
equivalent software) installed. It is then possible to read the internal states of the
equipment and the events stored in memory by the T200 (see also section on
Commissioning).
The tools available for maintenance and fault finding are as follows:
Monitoring page
The screen on the left shows an example of a 1-channel Easergy T200 P, with
internal fault detector option, provided with a current acquisition card and a
transformer for voltage measurement.
This menu allows viewing of all the states and information managed by the T200:
The switch state: “Open”, “Closed” or “locked”;
Stored fault currents: “I Max.” and “I Max. transient” on each phase;
Current measurement on each phase, average current and neutral current;
Voltage measurement, phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase;
Power measurement, active, reactive and apparent;
Frequency and power factor measurement;
Operation and energy counter values;
The automatic control status, ON or OFF;
Equipment faults;
The operating mode: local or remote;
AC supply OFF, Delayed AC supply OFF;
The state of digital inputs 1 to 8;
The state of digital outputs 1 to 4.
Comment: The indications are refreshed every second.
Consulting the logs
The various logs available (events, alarms and system) make it possible to know
the history of everything that has occurred on the T200.
This can be useful to find the cause of a fault during fault finding.
All the events displayed in the logs are time stamped so as to know the date of
origin of a fault.
Given the large number of time-stamped events saved, it is possible to go back
sufficiently far in time to trace the cause of a problem.
When the maximum number is exceeded, the oldest event on the list is erased by
the most recent one.
The logs can be saved on PC in the form of Excel-compatible files so as to be
able to perform fault finding, reviews or statistics later.
The logs can be transferred by e-mail so as to be able to forward the report on a
problem to an accessory department or person or possibly to exchange an opinion
with the manufacturer of the T200.
Indicator lamp indications
The T200 provides a certain amount of information via the indicator lamps on the
front panel of the rack modules (see section on Operation – Control and
monitoring).
These indicator lamps provide information concerning the operating state of the
T200 and concerning the presence of any fault, where applicable.
Comment: A diagnostic through the state of the indicator lamps on the front panel
is not always adequate to find the cause of a fault. A lit indicator lamp indicates the
presence of a fault, but it is often necessary to consult the logs or the “Monitoring”
page to determine precisely the cause of a fault.
For more information, consult the diagnostic table below.

Maintenance Power supplies
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Use batteries having recent production
dates (less than three months' old).
Do not store more than six months
without recharging.
Do not throw the batteries away.
5.2 Power supplies
Powering down the equipment:
Switch off the AC supply outside the equipment or on the safety fuse block within the
enclosure.
Disconnect the supply to the battery circuit:
Unplug the battery connector under the rack.
All the LEDs on the front panels of the rack should now be extinguished.
The Easergy T200 P enclosure is now powered down.
Toroid safety precautions
The current transformers connector are IP2X. There is no particular risk to disconnect
toriod temporary (< 10 mn).
Shorting is required if switching off the current transformer is not temporary (> 10
minutes). No particular danger in shorting the CT with appropriate shorting plug. The
voltage incurred between open terminals is limited below 1000 Vac.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is no need to alter the cables when connecting the
toroid and power supply cables to the cubicle. The cables must never be modified.
Battery maintenance:
Replacing the battery
Before carrying out any work on the battery, disconnect it from the equipment by
unplugging the connector from the base under the rack.
Remove the battery by sliding it outwards, raise the terminal covers and undo the two
terminal nuts, then disconnect the Faston lugs from the connecting cord.
To install a new battery, repeat this sequence in the reverse order.
Servicing and storing the batteries
Sealed lead batteries are used. The advantages of this type of battery include the fact that
there is no risk of explosion, no acid leakage and no servicing requirement.
However, this type of battery has its limitations:
Limited number or recharging cycles;
Average service life of 10 years, with ageing accelerated by temperatures outside
the recommended range;
Ageing during storage (do not store for more than six months without recharging, as
this type of battery does not withstand a total discharge);
Difficult to predict the end of battery service life.
The Power Supply module is designed to optimize the characteristics of the battery.
A battery fault alarm informs the remote control system of an imminent discharge.
Note: the battery is an important element for the unit because the command on switches
cannot operate without the battery connected and charged.
Replacing fuses
Replacement fuses are provided in the “accessories” bag attached inside the enclosure.
“AC supply” fuse
This fuse is located in the lower panel of the enclosure.
gG type HRC fuse of rating 2 A, 10 x 38 mm.
“Rack power supply” fuse
The fuse protecting the power supply to all the electronic modules is located on the Power
Supply module card.
Fuse: 5 x 20 mm, 0.8 A semi-time-lag.
“External 12 V supply” fuse
The fuse is located on the Power Supply card.
Fuse: 5 x 20 mm, 4 A time-lag.
“48 V supply” fuse
The fuse is located on the CPU card of the Control module.
This card is located in the left-hand part of the rack. It is accessible after removing the
control panel (front of the Control module).
Fuse: 5 x 20 mm, 5 A time-lag.
To replace the fuses:
a) Power down the enclosure.
b) Replace the defective fuse.
c) Power up the enclosure.
