Introduction and Overview

WL Circuit Breaker

General

This manual is aimed at those who want to find out more about the different applications of communications-capable circuit breakers in power distribution systems. It contains a detailed guide to commissioning, operating, diagnosing and maintaining the new communications-capable WL Circuit Breaker.

Content of the Manual

Chapter 1 contains a short introduction to communications in power distribution systems, and provides an overview of the benefits and applications of communicationscapable circuit breakers. The chapter concludes with a short description of the most important communication bus systems.

Chapter 2 contains a general description of the WL Circuit Breaker. It includes information on configuration data and provides commissioning instructions.

Chapter 3 explains how the circuit breakers are integrated in a power management system and describes the supported function codes, register maps and exception codes.

WL is the first circuit breaker that can be configured, diagnosed and maintained remotely without the use of field bus systems and higher-level operator control and monitoring systems. These procedures are carried out using the breaker data adapter (BDA), a state-of-the-art Internetcapable configuration device for circuit breakers, which is described in Chapter 4.

Introduction

The demand for communicationscapable systems, data transparency and flexibility in industrial automation systems is growing all the time. Bus systems and intelligent switchgear are vital to ensure that industrial power systems can meet these demands, since industrial production and building management are now inconceivable without communications technology.

The evermore-stringent requirements placed on the electrical and mechanical aspects of circuit breakers, the growing need for flexibility and efficiency, and increasing cost pressure and automation have contributed to the recent major innovations in circuit breaker technology. In power distribution systems, the WL Circuit Breaker uses industry-standard bus systems to transmit key information for warnings, commissioning and load shedding to a central control room. The wide range of applications ensure that these circuit breakers are more than just simple switching and protective devices.

Point-to-point communication, as well as data entry, transmission, analysis and visualization are only possible if the automation and lowvoltage switchgear technology components can be easily integrated in a communication solution to leverage the full range of functions available.

Introduction and Overview

WL Circuit Breaker

In this way, status information, alarms, trip information and setpoints (e.g. overcurrent, phase unbalance, overvoltage) increase transparency in power distribution systems, enabling these situations to be dealt with quickly. A communication host can send short text messages to the cell phones of maintenance personnel. Prompt analysis of this data enables targeted intervention in the process and helps reduce system down time.

Information for preventive maintenance (e.g. the number of operating cycles or hours) enables timely personnel and material scheduling, which increases system availability and helps prevent sensitive system components from being damaged.

Communication helps provide rapid and targeted information on the location and cause of power failures. The cause of the fault can be determined by recording the phase currents (e.g. trip as a result of a short-circuit of 2317 A in phase L2 on 08/27/2002 at 14:27). This information can be used to quickly rectify the fault and reduces downtime for quicker recovery.

Measuring and communicating power, power factor and energy allows an even greater number of applications. The availibility of power consumption data on a targeted basis for business analysis enables power profiles to be created and costs to be clearly assigned. In this way, energy costs can be allocated and optimized by balancing the peak loads.

WL Circuit Breakers—Modular and Intelligent

Thousands of options with just a few components: That's the WL. A new generation of circuit breakers – from 200A to 5000A – with a modular design to support every conceivable application in power distribution systems – cost effective and flexible, its communication functionality enables it to be integrated in system solutions.

Cost Saving

Whatever the configuration, the WL Circuit Breaker does the job where it matters. Advantages include simple retrofitting and a compact design benefiting everyone who uses WL Circuit Breakers, whether in planning, business, or whether they develop or operate switchgear systems.

Easy Planning

The WL Circuit Breaker and EasyTCC together provide a convenient software package for coordinating multiple circuit breakers.

System Solutions

By integrating WL Circuit Breakers in a higher-level communication system, they can be configured via MODBUS, Ethernet or the Internet; an integrated power management system allows you to optimize power distribution across the board.

Communication Bus Systems

Communication bus systems are used to connect distribution devices with varying levels of intelligence. With their different structures and mechanisms, certain bus systems are designed for highly specific applications, while others are better suited for more open applications. The following section describes the most important bus systems used in automation and power distribution systems.

MODBUS

MODBUS is an open, serial communications protocol based on a master-slave architecture. Since it is very easy to implement on any kind of serial interface, it can be used in a wide range of applications. MODBUS comprises a master and several slaves, whereby communication is controlled exclusively by the master. MODBUS features two basic communication mechanisms:

• Question/answer (polling): The master sends an inquiry to a station and waits for a response.

• Broadcast: The master sends a command to all the network stations, which execute the command without confirmation.

The messages enable process data (input/output data) to be written to and read from the slaves either individually or in groups.

The data can either be transmitted in ASCII or as a package in RTU format. MODBUS can be used over a wide range of transmission media, normally, on an RS 485 physical bus, a twisted, shielded two-wire cable with terminating resistors.

The MODBUS protocol was originally developed for networking control systems, and is often used for connecting input/output modules to a central PLC. Due to the low transmission rate of 38.4 kBaud max., MODBUS is particularly recommended for applications with a low number of stations or low response time requirements.

Ethernet

The Industrial Ethernet is a highperformance network that conforms to IEE 802.3 (ETHERNET). The highly successful 10Mbit/s technology, which has been used for over a decade, and the new 100Mbit/s technology (Fast Ethernet to IEEE

802.3u) in conjunction with Switching Full Duplex and Autosensing enable the required network performance to be adapted to different requirements. The appropriate data rates are selected as required because complete compatibility enables the technology to be implemented on a step-by-step basis.

Used in 80% of networks, Ethernet is currently the best of its kind in LAN environments.

Ethernet does not function according to a master-slave principle. All the stations have equal priority on the bus, which means that any station can be the sender or receiver. A sender can only send on the bus if no other station is sending at that time. This is due to the fact that the stations are always "listening in" to find out whether any messages are being sent to them or any senders are currently active. If a sender has started sending, it checks that the message it has sent is not corrupt. If the message is not changed, the send operation continues.

If the sender detects that its data is corrupt, another sender must have already started sending data. In this case, both senders abort their respective send operations.

After a random time has elapsed, the sender restarts the send operation. This is known as CSMA/CD and, as a "random" access procedure, does not guarantee a response within a certain time frame. This largely depends on the bus load, which means that realtime applications cannot yet be implemented with Ethernet.

Introduction and Overview

The demands regarding

and integration in power

distribution systems are

increasing all the time.

The WL Circuit Breaker

is a modular circuit

breaker that fulfills the

requirements of the

future today.

Brief Description of the WL Circuit Breaker

Circuit breakers today are no longer simply devices for protecting plants, transformers, generators and motors. Many users now require a complete overview of the plant from a central control room and round-the-clock access to all available information. Modern power distribution systems are characterized by the methods used to network circuit breakers— both with each other and other components. The circuit breakers in the

WL Circuit Breaker family have a lot to offer: It is possible to carry out analysis and maintenance procedures remotely via the Internet. Operating staff can be given immediate access to information on system status and alarms. This is not just a vision of the future, but reality.

The WL Circuit Breaker covers the entire range from 200A to 5000A. The devices are available with different interrupting ratings, allowing shortcircuit currents of up to

00kA to be interrupted

2 reliably.

WL Circuit Breakers can be adapted to different system conditions, which means that a rating plug can be used to adapt each circuit breaker to the appropriate rated current. This ensures that optimum protection is provided, even if changes have been made in the system. The modules (reference Graphic 2-1) can be replaced without the need for the transformer to be changed.

Note: Installation instructions related to the communication modules described in this section can be found in the individual instruction sheets and/or Section 9 of the Operator's Manual

The ability to change between two different parameter sets is also possible. This function is particularly useful in the event of a power failure when an automatic transfer is made from utility to generator power, a process which can involve changing many of the trip unit parameters.

A wide range of lock-out systems are available to improve reliability during critical processes. All accessories, such as shunt trips, motor operators and communication components, can be installed quickly and easily; this is made easier because the accessories are identical across the entire product line. The commitment to reducing the overall number of parts results in fewer spares to be ordered and lower inventory costs.

The heart of each circuit breaker is the electronic trip unit (ETU). Several versions are available to adapt the protective, metering, and alarm functions to the system requirements: from simple overload and short-circuit protection to trip units that can be configured remotely and which feature a wide range of metering and alarm functions.

All circuit breakers with ETU745, ETU748, ETU755 and ETU776 trip units are communications capable, and allow additional components to be internally networked via the CubicleBUS.

The circuit breaker is connected to MODBUS via the RS485 interface on the COM16 module.

The breaker data adapter (BDA) (see Chapter 4) also supports higher-level networking/ communication (Intranet/Internet).

The CubicleBUS

The CubicleBUS, which connects all the intelligent components within the WL Circuit Breaker and enables additional external components to be connected quickly and reliably, forms the backbone of the modular architecture of the WL. The CubicleBUS is already integrated in and connected to all assembled circuit breakers with the ETU745, ETU748, ETU755, and ETU776 trip units.

The high level of system modularity enables communication functions (e.g. metering function) to be retrofitted at any time. A WL Circuit Breaker that is not communications capable can be upgraded (e.g. by exchanging ETU72 with CubicleBUS) quickly and easily on site. All CubicleBUS modules can access the existing data of the circuit breaker directly, thereby ensuring rapid access to information and speedy responses to events.

By connecting additional, external modules to the CubicleBUS, costeffective solutions for communicating data from other devices in the cubicle can be implemented.

Communications Capability of the Electronic Trip Units (ETUs)

The electronic trip units ETU745, ETU748, ETU755, and ETU776 are all communications capable. The CubicleBUS is connected to the circuit breaker terminals X8.1(-) to X8.4(+)

Different versions of communications-capable trip units are available.

The front of the ETU745 has rotary switches for setting protective parameters. These can be read via the communication device. The ETU745 can also be installed with a four-line display for the measured values.

The ETU755 does not have rotary switches or a display. The protective parameters can only be changed via communications. This trip unit with remote-only parameter setting is for special application demands.

The ETU776 features a graphical display with a clearly structured, key-driven menu. This not only enables operators to display measured values, status information, and maintenance information, but also to read all the existing parameters and make password-protected changes.

Data Availability on the CubicleBUS

All modules connected to the CubicleBUS can request data from other modules via the bus and generate data themselves that can be read by other modules.

Each data point in the comprehensive WL Circuit Breaker data dictionary can only be generated by a single module—the data source. If this data source (module) exists, the data points assigned to it also exist.

This information is described and communicated in the

If a data source (module) does not exist, the data point does not exist either.

Communication-capable Circuit Breakers

The MODBUS COM16 Module and the BSS

The COM16 module enables the

WL Circuit Breaker to exchange

data via MODBUS to supervisory

systems and MODBUS masters.

The COM16 module retrieves

some of the key data on the

status of the circuit breaker

(circuit breaker open/closed,

closing spring charged, ready-to-

close, etc.) via the CubicleBUS

from the BSS (breaker status

sensor). Both modules are,

therefore, offered together as

a MODBUS communication

package.

MODBUS Module COM16

The COM16 module for the WL enables the circuit breaker to be connected to any MODBUS master network. This makes it easy to add WL and a COM16 to existing MODBUS networks.

If required, control/write access to the circuit breaker can be locked using hardware and software to prevent any switching operations

taking place via MODBUS (manual or automatic operation) or parameters from being changed.

All key events are assigned a time stamp from the integrated clock to enable operators to keep track of alarms. This device clock can be synchronized with the clock in the automation system.

A temperature sensor integrated in the COM16 module measures the temperature surrounding the breaker in the switchgear cubicle.

Three integrated microswitches located in the COM16 module are used to detect the position of the circuit breaker (connect, test, disconnect and not present) and communicate via MODBUS. The circuit breaker can be remotely operated only in the test or connect position.

Pin Configuration

The COM16 module is connected to the auxiliary conductor plug-in system at X7.

The electrical connections to the circuit breaker and the CubicleBUS connection to the internal CubicleBUS modules (ETU, BSS, metering function, etc.) are defined in Section 9 of the Operator's Manual and the individual instruction sheets.

WL Circuit Breaker

Interposing relays must be used if the opening and closing solenoids are designed for voltages other than 24V DC.

Terminals X9.1 and X9.2 must be used if the second shunt trip rather than the first shunt trip is used to open the circuit breaker via communication.

The unassigned user output can be used as required and must be connected in the same way as a coupling device (see Graphic 2-4). It can be used, for example, to reset the trip indicator if the remote reset option has been installed. As with Open and Close, only voltages of up to 24V DC are permitted (note the polarity); coupling devices must be used for higher voltages.

The communications line is connected to the 9-pin interface on the front of the COM16 module. The CubicleBUS connection for a RJ45 plug is located at the rear and is used to connect the external

CubicleBUS modules. If no external CubicleBUS module is connected,

the terminating resistor supplied must be used as an RJ45 plug.

The unassigned user input can be connected using a contact element with the 24V DC from pin 1 to transmit the status of the contact element.

Graphic 2-2 The text on the COM16 module shows the external pin configuration for connecting the closing solenoid and the shunt trips, as well as the MODBUS write protection function and the unassigned input/output.

MODBUS Write Protection (DPWriteEnable)

Write access via communications can be blocked either temporarily or permanently.

The COM16 module features a hardware input for this purpose. Pin 1 provides the 24V DC supply, which can be connected to pin 2.

If this input is not bridged, write access and control is disabled.

The following actions are blocked if the input of the write-protect function has not been enabled:

• Breaker open/close

• Reset the last trip

• Change the protective parameters

• Change the parameters for the extended protection function (metering function)

• Change the communication parameters

• Settings of the metering options

• Reset maintenance information (counters)

• Force the digital outputs from WinPM.Net

The following control functions are available even if the write protection function has not been enabled:

• Change and set the trigger functions for the waveform buffer

• Read the content of the waveform buffer

• Change the setpoint parameters

• Set/change the system time

• Change the free texts (comments, system IDs)

• Reset the min./max. values

• Change the unassigned user output

Graphic

2-3

This diagram illustrates how to wire the COM16 module if MODBUS is to be used to switch the device open and closed. This diagram only applies to 24V DC control voltage.

MODBUS Installation Guideline

The COM16 must be assembled and connected as described in the WL Operating Instructions. Of particular importance is the requirement to ground the shield of the MODBUS cable.

2/9

Graphic

Interposing relays are required if a control voltage different than 24V DC is used. If the 1st shunt trip is not used to switch off the device, use

2-4

terminals X9.1 and X9.2 to utilize the 2nd shunt trip.

WL MODBUS Communication and Electronic Accessories • January 2005

Page 21

The write-protect function ensures that all the required information can be transmitted, but prevents any changes to the status of the circuit breaker. Changes can then only be made locally.

Why does the write protection function permit certain actions?

All actions that are not blocked are for remote analysis only and do not have any effect on the current status.

Data Exchange via the COM16 Module

When the COM16 module is configured to exchange data, it is important to note that it is shipped as standard with MODBUS address 126. This can be changed during system configuration (e.g. with the BDA, WinPM.Net, WL Config software or ETU776 display).

The COM16 module has two LEDs (MODBUS and CubicleBUS) for diagnostic purposes. These indicate the operating status of the communication line and the CubicleBUS networks.

Two LEDs are used to determine whether a CubicleBUS module in the circuit breaker is operational. First, the "COMM" LED on the trip unit must be green, that is, the trip unit has recognized at least one other CubicleBUS module. At a minimum, this would only be the Metering Function PLUS if the CubicleBUS was then interrupted. Second, the CubicleBUS LED on the COM16 module must be taken into account. If this is lit with a steady green light, a connection exists from the COM16 module to at least the metering function Plus module.

If both LEDs are green (steady light for CubicleBUS on the COM16 module and COMM on the trip unit), communication is fully established between the trip unit and the COM16 module.

Data is exchanged according to the following principle: an up-to-date copy of all WL Circuit Breaker data (apart from the waveform buffer) is always stored in the COM16 module. A response to a data query from the COM16 module to the supervisory system can, be typically transmitted in just a few milliseconds. Write data from the supervisory system is forwarded to the appropriate addressee on the CubicleBUS.

Table 2-6 The COM16 module has 3 microswitches for determining the position of the circuit

breaker in the guide frame. Depending on which switch is actuated, the position described above is communicated via the comm. system (1=contact closed, 0=contact open).

When the circuit breaker is fully withdrawn, no further microswitches are actuated. "Circuit breaker fully withdrawn" is communicated immediately.

The sequence described above provides hysterisis for communicating contact position and avoids intermittent contact postitions from being communicated.

With UL 489 fixed-mounted circuit breakers, a heel plate is screwed to the COM16 module to transmit operating position.

The COM16 module features a builtin temperature sensor, which is installed outside the circuit breaker, and measures the temperature surrounding the breaker.

It also contains a clock that provides a time stamp for all events, such as minimum and maximum measured values, as well as warnings and trips.

Three microswitches located in the COM16 module can determine the position of a drawout circuit breaker in the guide frame, which is then communicated via the COM16 module. The positions are defined in Table 2-6. When the position of the circuit breaker has changed, the microswitch that has been actuated is opened before the next microswitch is actuated. No microswitches are actuated if the breaker is between two of the three positions. The previous state is communicated until a new position is reached when the circuit breaker is moved (see Table 2-6).

2/11

There is no way of determining the direction in which the circuit breaker is being moved once the "disconnect position" microswitch has been opened.

When the circuit breaker is initially racked in, the next microswitch to be actuated is the "test position." The COM16 module communicates "circuit breaker not present" until the "test position" key is actuated. The new event message is delayed by 10 seconds to ensure that the breaker is firmly seated.

WL MODBUS Communication and Electronic Accessories • January 2005

Communication-capable Circuit Breakers

WL Circuit Breaker

Breaker Status Sensor (BSS)

BSS stands for "breaker status sensor." All microswitches that contain information on the state of the circuit breaker are either installed directly to the BSS or connected to it. The BSS makes this digital information available on the CubicleBUS.

If the status of the circuit breaker in the switchgear is to be displayed or read via communications, the BSS module and the appropriate signaling switch must be installed (if they are not already). The circuit breaker must be installed with an electronic trip unit of type ETU745 or higher.

The BSS can also be field installed.

The BSS indicates the following information:

• Closing spring (charged/discharged)

• Position of the main contacts

(open/closed)

• Ready-to-close signal

• Bell Alarm switch on the trip unit

(connected to the red mechanical trip indicator)

• Signaling switch on the first shunt trip

• Signaling switch on the second

shunt trip

The BSS is included when you order the communications option with with the assembled circuit breaker.

If a BSS is required without communication (e.g. for operating the BDA), it can be ordered seperately.

Figure

This picture shows the BSS signaling contacts and how they have to be connected. The BSS is factory installed when the communications option is ordered with the

Metering Function Plus

The integrated metering function

can be used with all trip units

with a CubicleBUS connection. It

not only extends the range of

protection functions of the trip

unit but also provides additional

warnings and diagnostic options.

With its comprehensive range of

measured values, the integrated

WL Circuit Breaker metering

function is an excellent

alternative to external multi-

function metering devices.

General

In addition to the current values supplied by the trip unit, the metering function provides the measured values in the power distribution system required for Power Management (voltage, power, etc.). With its extended protection function (e.g. undervoltage), the metering function also provides further options for monitoring and protecting the power distribution system.

The option of generating warnings if setpoints are exceeded, speeds up response to system alerts. As a result, the metering function can significantly increase system up-time.

The metering function module is installed on the back of the trip unit (ETU), as shown in Fig. 2-4. The trip unit and metering function module exchange all current data via a highspeed synchronous interface. The metering function module provides all the connected modules (e.g. the COM16 module or BDA) with the parameters for the protective relay functions, the setpoints, measured value settings, and the measured values via the CubicleBUS, so that they can be processed further. Using the two CubicleBUS connections, the metering function module is connected to the trip unit and either the BSS or directly to X7.

The metering function can be implemented in all circuit breakers with ETU745, ETU755, ETU748 and ETU776. If the Metering Function PLUS module is ordered with the assembled circuit breaker, it will already be installed and ready for operation. The metering function can be retrofitted at any time if the circuit breaker is equipped with one of the trip units listed above. It is simply screwed onto the trip unit and the CubicleBUS lines are snapped in.

Note: If installed by the customer, the metering function is not calibrated with the trip unit; therefore, the accuracy of the specifications in Table 2-7 cannot be guaranteed.

Metering Function Plus

The Metering Function Plus module extends the range of metering functions to include harmonic and waveform analysis.

Harmonic analysis

The Metering Function Plus module senses the current and voltage, saves the measured values, and carries out a fast Fourier transformation. The result is the distribution of the harmonics (in %) up to the 29th harmonic. The calculated values are made available via the CubicleBUS and can be displayed in WinPM.Net and the BDA (see Chapters 3 and 4). They can also be saved as an Excel-compatible *.csv file for subsequent diagnosis. On the ETU776 trip unit, the measured and calculated values can also be displayed.

The harmonic analysis enables not only the quality of the network to be analyzed and logged but also provides settable alarm levels.

Waveform buffer

The Metering Function Plus module features two independent waveform buffers (A and B). Each one has 8 channels, one each for currents I

, IN, and Ig, and voltages Va, Vb, and

. Each channel is sensed with a

, Ib,

frequency of 1,649 kHz and the values are "pushed" through a shift register (length: 1 second). The process of pushing data through the shift register can be aborted by a configurable trigger event. Trigger events include trips, warnings and setpoint alarms so that the voltage waveform, for example, can be recorded in the event of undervoltage tripping.

Communication-capable Circuit Breakers

WL Circuit Breaker

The trigger event can be set individually for each waveform buffer. The point at which the trigger event is to take place in the waveform buffer can also be defined. This setting can be used to set the ratio of the pre-event history to the post-event history. If the pre-trigger event history is to be analyzed, the position can be set to 80%. When the event occurs, 0.8 seconds of preevent history and 0.2 seconds of post-event history are available in the waveform buffer, and an existing COM16 module adds a time stamp to the trigger event.

Each waveform buffer stops independently, depending on the trigger event and can be activated again once the analysis is complete.

A large amount of data (approx. 25 kByte for each waveform) can be downloaded and analyzed using WinPM.Net, the BDA and the ETU776 display. Depending on the option, a range of zoom options and export functions are available.

600:120 = 5:1 (ITI Part # 460-600 or 468-600)

VT Accuracy

Each Metering Module presents a purely resistive (unity power factor) load to the transformer. Assuming no other devices connected to the VT, a ITI type 486 VT can safely feed 10 metering modules and and still maintain 0.6% accuracy assuming the wiring from the VT to the individual metering modules is twisted pair and kept to a minimum length.

This data applies to ambient temperatures from 30ºC to 50ºC and a primary voltage from 80% to 120%

Maximum distance from voltage transformer

The maximum distance between the metering function and the voltage transformer depends on the cable size and the desired accuracy class.

For a 14AWG cable, the maximum distance should not exceed 50 m for class 0.5 and 100 m for class 3. In areas with high EMC exposure, shielded cable should be used.

Parameters for the settings of the metering function

The trip unit settings which must be made are:

1)VT Primary Voltage (240V, 480V, 600V)

2)VT Secondary Voltage (100V, 110V, 120V)

3) VT Connection (Wye / LG, Delta / LL)

The following tools and functions are available if the parameters have to be changed:

• WinPM.Net

• WL Config

• BDA/BDA Plus

• ETU776 display

Voltage Transformers

For isolation reasons, a voltage transformer is used in conjunction with the Metering Function Plus module. This prevents voltage signals of up to 1kV from reaching the ETU directly via the auxiliary secondary connections.

The metering module (“Metering Function Plus”) can be set to expect 3W or 4W (LL/LG) connections and will adjust the amplitude and phase of the signal as necessary.

Three VTs must be used at all times.

All three VTs should be rated for the nominal system L-L voltage (e.g. 480V) and may have either 100V, 110V or 120V secondary voltages.

The following ratios and suggested and equivalent VTs can be used: 240:120 = 2:1 (ITI Part # 460-240 or 468-240) 480:120 = 4:1 (ITI Part # 460-480 or 468-480)

Metering VT Settings: Delta/Wye : Delta VT Primary: 480 (for example) VT Secondary: 120 (for example)

Important functions/parameters for communications

Thanks to their modular

construction and numerous I/O

modules, WL Circuit Breakers

offer flexible system solutions.

These solutions include load

management, alarms and

additional tripping conditions

via the extended protective

functions. Although the

utilization of these functions is

also possible without the use of

communications, their benefits

can be fully utilized when used

in communication applications.

Load Management

A circuit breaker with ETU745 or higher, offers two current setpoint values for local load management, the upper setpoint being that of load shedding, the lower setpoint being that of load restore.

Note: These setpoints will not effect the circuit breaker tripping function. If the current exceeds the set load shedding value in one phase, a load shedding warning will be generated. A load restore will only be generated when this value drops below the setpoint in all three phases. The warning messages are directly displayed by the BDA. However, they are also stored in the event log where they are labeled with a time stamp.

Note: The event log is only available with the COM16.

WL Circuit Breaker

The respective process for the load restore threshold is reversed if all three phases fall short of the setpoint, and a load shed warning will be generated. If only one of the three currents exceeds the setpoint, a load restore event will not be generated.

In order to avoid load shedding on the basis of short-time current peaks and valleys, they can be delayed by a delay time t can be set to between 1 s and 15 s.

The load management parameters can be found in the parameter tree of the BDA.

The load shedding/load restore signals are available as outputs of the digital output module, which are provided with a rotary selection switch.

Extended Protective Function

The extended protective function of the metering modules adds additional tripping functions. The options listed in table 2-8 can be used as additional monitoring functions.

Setpoints

In addition to the load management option (load shedding/load restore), the metering modules offer an option for an automatic monitoring of operating data and the generation of an alarm.

Two setpoints can be defined (e.g. for overvoltage). With the lower setpoint, an alarm can be generated via the setpoint value (e.g. > 410V), whereas, with a voltage increase, a tripping event (e.g. > 430V) can be generated.

Minimum for Communicated Currents

In order to avoid the detection, display and communication of very low currents generated by system noise, even with the circuit breaker in the disconnect position, the "Minimum for Communicated Currents" parameter offers the option of setting all detected current values smaller than this parameter to zero. The factory setting is 50A. This means that all values smaller than 50A are displayed as "0" on the display, interpreted as "0" for internal calculations (power) and also transmitted as "0" via the communications. If this parameter is changed to "0", this function is deactivated and all detected current measuring values will be directly used.

The parameter can be found in the parameter tree of the BDA.

Normal Positive Power Flow Direction

The current direction of the energy "flow" and the question, "How much energy has, up to now, flowed in both directions?" is of particular interest for tie breaker applications. For a determination, it is important to define a "normal direction". This direction can either be "from top to bottom" or "from bottom to top".

The measured real power is either assigned to a positive polarity (in normal direction) or a negative polarity (opposite normal direction). In contrast, the measured currents are always assigned a positive polarity.

With energy, the transmitted energy values are incorporated in two counters, real energy and real energy opposite to normal direction. The two energy counters are not assigned a polarity.

Event and Trip Log

All events (except for tripping events) are labeled with a time stamp and an ON (+) or OFF (-) indication and entered in the event log.

The event log has a depth of 10 events and works like a FiFo memory (first in, first out), i.e. the oldest event is deleted from the event log upon the occurrence of a new event.

Figure

In the event log the last 10 events on the CubicleBUS are listed. The trip log

contains the last 5 trips. Both of them can be displayed with the BDA.

The trip log is similar to the event log, however, only the last 5 trips are recorded with a time stamp and entered in the trip log.

Note: The event and the trip log are only available with the COM16 module.

External CubicleBUS Modules

By connecting additional,

external modules to the

CubicleBUS, breaker status

information can be displayed

and data read from the

switchgear to the system. This

enables cost-effective solutions

to be implemented

for automating other devices in

the switchgear.

General

External CubicleBUS modules enable the WL Circuit Breaker to communicate with secondary devices in the switchgear. They can be used, for example, to activate analog displays, transmit circuit breaker status and cause of trip, and read additional control signals. One module is also available for zoneselective interlocking.

Five different CubicleBUS modules can output data from the CubicleBUS system (four digital output modules and one analog output module). A digital input module can transmit data from the switchgear to the MODBUS master, and a ZSI module enables zone selective interlocking among the circuit breakers.

Communication-capable Circuit Breakers

Rotary Switches

With the exception of the configurable output module, all external CubicleBUS modules are configured using rotary switches.

The arrow on the rotary switch points to the function that is currently active. With certain modules (e.g. digital output modules), the group selection (e.g. "1st Module" left; highlighted) and then any other settings (e.g. time delay) must be taken into account. More information on this is provided with the individual module instruction sheets and the WL Instruction Manual.

WL Circuit Breaker

Installation

The external CubicleBUS modules can be installed onto a standard 35mm DIN rail on the panel. The cable for connecting the first module to the circuit breaker must be no longer than 2 m.

Prefabricated cables, which can be ordered separately in different lengths, must be used to connect the CubicleBUS modules to each other and to the circuit breaker. These cables enable the various components to communicate and supply the CubicleBUS modules with 24V DC.

Power Supply

The CubicleBUS must be supplied with a UL Listed 24V DC class 2 power supply across its entire length. Reference pages 2/33 and 2/34 of this manual for details pertaining to the requirements of this power supply. Terminals X8.3 and X8.4 or the 4-pin plug for the external CubicleBUS modules (X3) are available for this purpose. As previously mentioned, the 24V is conducted via the CubicleBUS cables.

The power required for the 24V DC supply depends on the CubicleBUS configuration. The technical data for the external CubicleBUS modules is provided later in this chapter.

The control system (of the CubicleBUS) must be connected to a fused power supply (class 2), since the system voltage drops to an unspecified value in the event of a short-circuit.

Attention: Connecting and disconnecting CubicleBUS modules when energized is not recommended and can cause erroneous inputs or outputs to be generated.

Maximum CubicleBUS Configuration

The CubicleBUS can comprise up to 13 modules:

• Electronic Trip Unit (ETU)

• Metering Function Plus

• Breaker Status Sensor (BSS)

• COM16

• BDA or BDA Plus

• ZSI module

• Digital output module with switch position to the left (1st module)

• Digital output module with switch position to the right (2nd module)

• Digital configurable output module

• Digital input module with switch position to the left

• Digital input module with switch position to the right

• Analog output module with switch position to the left (1st module)

• Analog output module with switch position to the right (2nd module)

In practice, however, not all of the modules may be required.

CubicleBUS Installation Guidelines

• Total length of the CubicleBUS cables: max. 10 m

• Prefabricated cables must be used to connect the CubicleBUS modules.

• The last module on the line must be terminated with a 120 Ω terminating resistor (supplied with each module).

• The cables must always be connected from module to module. Star connection is not permitted.

• The power supply must be provided by a UL Listed 24V DC class 2 power supply with standard-tolerance and the properties described on page 2/33 and 2/34.

Testing the Digital Input and Output Modules

The test should be performed prior to any commissioning work to determine whether the circuit breaker and its components function properly.

The test mode can be used to check that the CubicleBUS modules function properly. A distinction must be made between the individual modules.

Pressing the "Test" key on the CubicleBUS module starts the test mode, and all the inputs, outputs, and associated LEDs are deactivated. The DEVICE LED changes from green

Pressing the "Test" key several times in quick succession then switches the corresponding input or output ON and OFF alternately.

With the input module, the input signals are also transmitted via the CubicleBUS and via the COM16 if connected.

With the digital output modules, the associated outputs are also switched, thereby enabling the system to be checked.

The test mode of the analog output module and the ZSI module is described in the chapter on the appropriate module.

Digital Input Module

Functional description

The digital input module enables up to six additional binary signals (24V DC) to be connected. Signals, such as the status of the breaker, the status of the switchgear cabinet door, or a signal indicating that a predefined temperature has been exceeded, can be transmitted directly and processed at the field bus level.

A total of 6 inputs are available in the "BUS Input" Switch position. Six inputs are also available if the rotary switch is in the "Parameter Switch" position, although the first input causes the active parameter set to change. If the connected ETU does not have two parameter set capablity (e.g. ETU745 or ETU748), this input can also be used without any restrictions.

Functional description for changing parameter sets

Trip units ETU755 and ETU776 have two different parameter sets for the protection function. This function is particularly useful in the event of a power failure when an automatic transfer is made from utility to generator, a process which may require that all the protective functions change.

The MODBUS communication system, the BDA, the ETU776 display, or the digital input module can be used to switch between the two parameter sets.

For this purpose, the first module input is used in the "Parameter Switch" position on the rotary switch. If a "1" signal is detected (LED on input 1 is yellow), the switchover to parameter set B is communicated to the trip unit. If the input signal switches back to "0", the switchover to parameter set A is communicated, and the LED on input 1 is de-energized.

Since the CubicleBUS is event controlled, trip unit ETU755 or ETU776 switches over to the other parameter set when a switchover request is issued via the CubicleBUS.

This means that if a switchover is made to parameter set B via the BDA, for example, even though the input on the digital input module is set to "0" (parameter set A), the active parameter set in the trip unit switches to parameter set B. A switchover event to parameter set A is not initiated on the CubicleBUS until the input on the digital input module is set first to "1" and then back to "0".

A maximum of two digital input modules can be operated simultaneously on one WL Circuit Breaker: one as a module with the "BUS Input" position and the other as "Parameter Switch" mode.

Digital Output Module with Rotary Switch

The digital output module can be used to output six events. These events can be warnings or trips and can be used for external annunciation or control. A circuit breaker trip can be wired to an Alarm Horn or Stack Light.

The load shedding and load restoring signals can enable a load to be switched ON or OFF automatically depending on the load.

The digital output module is available in two versions. The "optocoupler" version features solid state outputs. The current carrying capacity of this output is 150mA, and the nominal voltage is 24V DC. Only DC voltage can be switched. The "relay" version, uses a relay contact with a maximum load of 12A. Voltages of up 250V AC/DC are possible. The relay contacts are isolated.

The module is configured using a rotary switch, which not only selects one of the two output module versions, but also sets the appropriate delay time.

Selector switch position to the left

If the rotary switch is positioned to the left, outputs 1 through 6 are assigned the following events:

• Output 1: Long-time trip (L)

• Output 2: Short-time trip (S)

• Output 3: Instantaneous trip (I)

• Output 4: Ground fault trip (G)

• Output 5: Ground fault alarm signal

• Output 6: Trip as a result of overload in the neutral conductor (N)

Selector switch position to the right

If the rotary switch is positioned to the right, the 6 outputs are automatically assigned the following functions:

• Output 1: Leading overload trip signal (delay time 0s)

• Output 2: Trip unit error (ETU)

• Output 3: Load shedding

• Output 4: Load restoring

• Output 5: Temperature alarm

• Output 6: Current phase unbalance

Delay time

The rotary switch can also be used to set an additional delay time. Available times are 0, 0.2 s, 0.5 s, 1 s, and 2 s. These can be used, for example, to suppress events that only last a short time and not output them until they have been present for a long period (e.g. phase unbalance).

Irrespective of the delay time that has been set, the signal for the leading overload trip, which can be used to switch off and protect connected frequency converters, is always instantaneous.

A maximum of two digital output modules with rotary switches can be operated simultaneously on one WL Circuit Breaker, otherwise erroneous outputs may occur. They must be configured opposite each other. One in the operating mode with the switch position to the left and one with the switch position to the right.

The LEDs display the current state of the 6 outputs. If the LED is OFF, the corresponding output is OFF. If the LED is yellow, the output is ON.

Configurable Digital Output Module

The configurable digital output module also has six outputs. Like the digital output module with the rotary switch, it is available with optocoupler and relay outputs.

Unlike the modules with the rotary switch, however, the outputs are assigned using a software tool rather than a selector switch. WinPM.Net, WL Config or the BDA can be used as configuration software. The outputs can be assigned the events in the table opposite using drop-down fields.

The first three module outputs can be assigned up to six events. All of these events operate in parallel. This triggers, for example, a type of group signal when the circuit breaker is either impending trip mode or a phase unbalance warning is present.

The last three outputs can only be assigned one of the events directly.

Configuration events include status signals, warnings, tripped indication, over/under setpoint status, waveform buffer triggers and the active parameter set.

The module outputs can be set remotely using communications.

These events are available for the digital, configurable output module (part 1)

The status can be read via the input module, which means that a motor could be switched ON or OFF via the configurable digital output module.

Many other applications are also possible.

Unlike the digital output module with the rotary switch, a time delay cannot be added to the event. A setpoint can be output with a delay via the configurable digital output module, for example, if the setpoint itself is already delayed.

Like the digital output module with the rotary switch, this module also indicates the status of the outputs via the associated LEDs.

Attention: Do not power off the configurable output module within 15 seconds of changing the configuration via BDA or WinPM.Net. This could result in a red DEVICE LED and all outputs will be deactivated indicating that the device is incompletely configured.

Analog Output Module

The analog output module can be used to output the most important measured values sent via the CubicleBUS to analog indicators (e.g. analog meters) in the switchgear cubicle door. Each analog output module has four channels for this purpose. The signals are available at two physical interfaces: a 4 ... 20mA and a 0 ... 10V interface.

The measured values are available as 0 ... 10V via the X4 connector on the CubicleBUS module (the 4 ... 20mA interface is available at X5). Both outputs are always active at the same time, and can be used simultaneously.

The measured values, which are output via the four channels, are selected using a rotary switch. The available outputs are current, voltage, power, frequency and power factor. Up to two analog output modules can be operated on one CubicleBUS. The selection panel on the rotary switch is divided vertically. If the switch is set to a value on the left, the module is automatically addressed as module 1.

If a second module exists, it must be set to a value on the right. This is the only way that two analog output modules can operate simultaneously.

All types of analog instruments with an internal resistance of more than 20kΩ (for the voltage output) and between 50Ω and 250Ω (as a current output) can be used as an indicator.

The LEDs for the channels are yellow if the current value exceeds the full-scale deflection by 20% (with V, I and P), power factor is greater than 0.8, or the frequency greater than 45Hz.

Switch position "I"

In switch position "I", the measured current values are output linearly:

A01: Current in phase A

A02: Current in phase B

A03: Current in phase C

A04: Current in the neutral conductor

Since the circuit breaker can be

designed for different rated currents, the full-scale value must be scaled automatically and the maximum output value of the analog output module interpreted. The value of the rating plug is used for this purpose.

The maximum value is calculated by multiplying the value of the rating plug by 1.2 and then rounding the result up to the nearest 100.

Example: With a rating plug of 1600A, the full-scale value of the analog panel meter must be 2000A (1600 x 1.2 = 1920 -> 2000A). In other words, 0V/4mA = 0A, 10V/20mA = 2000A.

Switch position "U"

When the rotary switch is in switch position "U", the following voltages are applied to the four analog outputs:

A01: Phase-to-phase voltage V

A02: Phase-to-phase voltage V

A03: Phase-to-phase voltage V

A04: Phase voltage V

In most cases, the phase-to-phase voltage is output to the switchgear cubicle doors. This is why the first three channels are assigned these measured values. If the voltage is required between a phase and the neutral conductor, this is available via output A04.

The full-scale deflection for the analog panel meter is calculated by multiplying the rated voltage of the network (primary voltage of the voltage transformer) by 1.1 and then rounding the result up to the nearest 50.

Example: If the rated voltage of the network is 480V, the full-scale value is 550V (480V x 1.1 = 528V -> 550V).

Switch position "P"

If the rotary switch is set to position "P", the power measured values are output via the four channels:

A01: Active power phase kW

A02: Active power phase kW

A03: Active power phase kW

A04: Total apparent power kVA

TOT

The full-scale deflection of the active power in each phase is calculated by multiplying the value of the rating plug by the rated voltage of the network. The fullscale deflection value is then classified in a value range, as shown in the table below.

Before the full-scale deflection can be determined from the table, the calculated value must be multiplied by 3 for the total apparent power and the total active power (position f).

Example: I

= 1600A, rated voltage

= 480V; -> full-scale deflection = 1,000,000 W

Switch position "f"

Since it can generally be assumed that the frequency will be the same across the three phases in all the networks, switch position "f" is used to provide a general overview by outputting the most important measured values (with the exception of the current values). In conjunction with another module in position "I", all the most important measured values can be displayed in this way.

ZSI Module

To use the ZSI function with the WL Circuit Breaker, the external CubicleBUS ZSI module must be implemented.

The zone selective interlocking (ZSI) module provides the complete range of selectivity with the short delay time of t

= 50 ms,

ZSI

irrespective of the number of levels and the location of the short-circuit in the distribution system. Its benefits become even more apparent, the higher the number of levels in large systems and the longer the resulting delay times.

By shortening the time, the ZSI module significantly reduces stress and damage in the event of a shortcircuit in the switchgear.

Operating principle

If the ZSI module is used in a distribution system comprising several levels, each circuit breaker affected by a short-circuit interrogates the circuit breaker directly downstream, to ascertain whether the short-circuit also occurred in the next level below:

• If the short-circuit did occur in the downstream level, the upstream circuit breaker delays tripping to ensure that the circuit breaker directly upstream of the shortcircuit has enough time to interrupt the short-circuit.

• If the circuit breakers in the downstream level do not report a short-circuit, the short-circuit occurred between the two levels in question. In this case, one of the two upstream circuit breakers interrupts the short-circuit once the programmed delay time of t

ZSI

= 50 ms has elapsed.

Example as illustrated in Graphic 2-6.

This shows a section of a power distribution system that has been installed with the ZSI module. WL Circuit Breakers are implemented at different levels.

Short-circuit at 3:

Circuit breakers -Q5, -Q3, and -Q1 establish that a short-circuit has occurred. -Q5 blocks -Q3 by means of the ZSI signal and, as a result,

-Q1 too, so that they do not trip in 50 ms. Since -Q5 does not receive a blocking signal from a subordinate circuit breaker, it is responsible for interrupting the short-circuit as quickly as possible. If this does not take place, because the circuit breaker is no longer operational due to an overcurrent, -Q3, as a backup, trips after the time-discriminating response time of 150 ms.

Short-circuit at 2:

-Q1 and -Q3 establish that a shortcircuit has occurred; -Q5 does not. For this reason, -Q3 does not receive a blocking signal from -Q5, but provides a blocking signal for

-Q1. This information tells -Q3 that it is closest to the short-circuit and trips with a delay of t instead of t

= 150 ms. Time saved

= 50 ms

= 100 ms.

Graphic 2-6 This graphic illustrates the operating principle of the ZSI function using an example in a power distribution system. It is also a

connection diagram that shows how the ZSI module must be wired if the WL Circuit Breakers are used.

Short-circuit at 1:

Only -Q1 establishes that a shortcircuit has occurred and does not receive a blocking signal from a subordinate level. For this reason, it trips after t

= 50 ms. Time saved

ZSI

= 250 ms. The ZSI function can be used for

short-circuits between the phases (S), with respect to ground (G), or for both simultaneously (S+G). The operating mode is set using the rotary switch. If the switch is in the "OFF" position, the ZSI is deactivated.

The ZSI module also provides the blocking signal for the mediumvoltage level.

If a tie breaker is used in the power distribution system, this can also be equipped with the ZSI function and integrated in the overall concept.

Up to 8 circuit breakers can be connected to ZSI IN, and up to 20 to ZSI OUT.

Attention: Proper performance cannot be guaranteed if these limits are exceeded.

The ZSI module must always be the first external CubicleBUS module to be connected to the COM16 module or to X8.

Test function

The outputs are set (i.e. a blocking signal is sent to other circuit breakers) when the rotary switch is set to "TEST".

Pressing the "TEST" key switches the ZSI module to test mode, which is indicated by the yellow DEVICE LED. The inputs and outputs are selected in the same way as the digital input/output modules. When the ZSI module input is selected, the input can be toggled internally by pressing and releasing the TEST key. When the outputs are selected, the outputs can be toggled by pressing and releasing the TEST key. This enables the circuit to be checked.

Technical data for the ZSI module

Active inputs and outputs are indicated by a yellow LED.

It is recommended that the ZSI signal be transmitted via a shielded twisted pair with a cross-section of at least

0.75 mm

(18 AWG), and no more

than 400 m long.

External power consumption of a WL Circuit Breaker with CubicleBUS

WL Circuit Breakers with

CubicleBUS are designed to

provide internal and external

communication when the main

contacts are open. It is therefore

necessary to connect an

external power supply.

General information

The current sensing devices of WL Circuit Breakers consist of two components. The Rogowski coils deliver the current measuring values, and the energy converters provide the trip units with power. For breakers without an additional external supply, the trip units are

already activated and monitor the current at minimum values of 80A for Frame Size II, and 150A for Frame Size III.

The current from the sensors are sufficient to not only activate the protective functions of the ETU745 or ETU748 trip units, but also to activate the display, however, the back-lighting requires an external power supply. If the CubicleBUS has been connected to a UL Listed 24V DC class 2 power supply, the display is fed with energy from this supply.

The display of the ETU776 only functions when an external CubicleBUS power supply has been connected. The protective functions are fully operational when primary current is flowing even though the display is not active.

If additional CubicleBUS components are applied on a WL Circuit Breaker, the breaker must be connected to an external UL Listed 24V DC class 2 power supply.

The CubicleBUS consists of four wires, two for the communications and two for the UL Listed 24V DC class 2 power supply. The CubicleBUS is connected to the external terminal X8.1 to X8.4.

Table 2-23 To find a suitable external power supply for the WL Circuit Breaker with CubicleBUS the continuous current and the peak inrush current

must be observed.

2/33

WL MODBUS Communication and Electronic Accessories • January 2005

Page 45

The + 24V DC connection must be connected to X8.3 and the ground of the 24V DC voltage supply must be connected to X8.4.

Selection criteria for the external power supply:

• First, the maximum continuous current which the CubicleBUS

A power supply must be selected in accordance with these two characteristic values. Several WL Circuit Breakers can be connected to one power supply. For this purpose, however, the total of the continuous currents must be considered. For example, the 6EP1332-2BA00 power supply can

be used with up to 3 ETUs and up to 16 CubicleBUS modules simultaneously. The 6EP13321SH42 power supply can be used with 2 ETUs and up to 8 CubicleBUS modules simultaneously.

modules draw from the CubicleBUS supply must be

• Second, the peak inrush current of all modules must be calculated. The power supply must be capable of bearing the maximum peak inrush current for a period of 100 ms.

Supervisory Systems

The WL Circuit Breaker supports the industry standard MODBUS protocol through the COM16 interface. Communication connections to the COM16 are made through the DB-9 port on the front of the COM16; see Graphic 3-2 for connecting cable pin assignments. Typically the communication wiring from the COM16 will be installed at the factory and run to communication terminal blocks in the switchgear. At these terminal blocks customers can connect twisted shielded pair RS 485 cable to Ethernet Converters, MODBUS Masters, PLCs or supervisory control systems. When the WL Circuit Breaker is installed in Siemens switchgear as part of an ACCESS power monitoring system, the default wiring will be through a Siemens power meter Ethernet gateway or Ethernet converter

connected to a WinPM.Net workstation. For customers with existing MODBUS networks or who require integration into a MODBUS system the following information can be used to develop a software interface to the WL / COM16.

Data in the COM16 is organized in what is referred to as “Datasets”. Each dataset contains a group of functionally common registers. For instance all metered data is organized in a dataset, which consists of 119 registers, min./max. information in another dataset, and diagnostic information in another dataset. In all, the COM16 has a total of 28 datasets, which can be read via communication. Users can take advantage of this structure and ask for blocks of data in one message request, making integration into MODBUS system fast and efficient. The COM16 also

supports pre-configured or standard register maps for simple data interfacing. Users can define what types of data they want in any of three default register sets. Type 1 provides 4 default registers. Type 2 provides 8 registers, and Type 3 provides 14 registers, all in consecutive order for easy requests. The WL is included in WinPM.Net and can be configured remotely using the software or using the remote set-up tool, WL Config.

Each register includes a corresponding status register, which can be read in order to validate the real-time data. This register is referred to as the property byte.

Graphic 3-1 Siemens Power Monitoring and control software WinPM.Net communicates to multiple device types using Ethernet, modem

and RS 485 serial networks. The integration of the WL Circuit Breaker into WinPM.Net is a key component of totally integrated power.

Function 08: Diagnostics

Function This function provides a method for checking the communication between the master and a COM16 slave.

Diagnostic Code 0000 hex: Echoes the test data sent by the master.

COM16 slaves support the diagnostic sub-functions Return Query Data (0000 hex) and Clear Event Counter (000A hex).

000A hex: Clears the COM16 slave’s communications counters. (The data field for both Request and Reply is set to 0000 hex.)

If any other value is specified, an Exception Code of 03 (Invalid Data Value) will be returned.

Function 11: Get Communication Event Counter

Function Returns a status word and an event count from the COM16 slave's communications event counter. The event

counter is incremented once for each successful message completion. It is not incremented for exception responses or Fetch Communication Event Counter commands. The event counter can be reset by means of the Diagnostics function (code 08), with the sub-function Clear Counters (code 000A hex).

The normal response contains a two-byte status word, and a two-byte event count. The status word will be all ones (FFFF hex) if the COM16 slave is still processing a previously issued program command (a busy condition exists). Otherwise, the status word will be all zeros.

Function 12: Get Communication Event Log

Function Returns a status word, event count, message count and a field of event bytes from the slave. The status word

3/5

and event count are identical to that returned by Function 11 (Fetch Communications Event Counter). The message counter is incremented once for each message processed by the slave. The event bytes field contains 64 bytes, with each byte corresponding to the status of one MODBUS send or receive operation for the slave. The slave enters the events into the field in chronological order. The Byte 1 is the most recent event. Each new byte flushes the oldest byte from the field.

The normal response contains a two-byte Status field, a two-byte Event Count field, a two-byte Message Count field and a 64 byte Event Byte field. The Byte Count contains the total number of bytes in these four fields.

What the Event Bytes Contain

For a COM16 slave, an event byte returned by the Fetch Communications Event Log function can be either of two types. The type is defined by bit 7 (the high–order bit) in each byte.

COM16 slave Receive Event

The slave stores this type of event byte when a query message is received. It is stored before the slave processes the message. This event is defined by bit 7 set to a logic “1”. The other bits will be set to a logic “1” if the corresponding condition is TRUE. The bit layout is:

Bit Contents

0 Not Used

1 Communications Error

2 Not Used

3 Not Used

4 Character Overrun

5 Currently in Listen Only Mode (always zero, the COM16

does not support Listen Only Mode)

6 Broadcast Received

Table 3-2

COM16 slave Send Event

The slave stores this type of event byte when it finishes processing a query message. It is stored if the slave returned a normal or exception response, or no response. This event is defined by bit 7 set to a logic “0”, with bit 6 set to a “1”. The other bits will be set to a logic “1” if the corresponding condition is TRUE.

The bit layout is:

Exception Responses

Except for broadcast messages, when a master device sends a query to a slave device, it expects a normal response. One of four possible events can occur from the master's query:

1. If the slave device receives the query without a communication error, and can handle the query normally, it returns a normal response.

2. If the slave does not receive the query due to a communication error, no response is returned. The master program will eventually process a timeout condition for the query.

3. If the slave receives the query, but detects a communication error (parity or CRC), no response is returned. The master program will eventually process a timeout condition for the query.

4. If the slave receives the query without a communication error, but cannot handle it (for example, if the request is to read a non-existent coil or register), the slave will return an exception response informing the master of the nature of the error.

The exception response message has two fields that differentiate it from a normal response:

Function Code Field: In a normal response, the slave echoes the function code of the original query in the function code field of the response. All function codes have a most-significant bit (MSB) of 0 (their values are all below 80 hex). In an exception response, the slave sets the MSB of the function code to 1 (adds 80 hex to the function code). With the function code's MSB set, the master's application program can recognize the exception response and can examine the data field for the exception code.

Data Field: In a normal response, the slave may return data or statistics in the data field (any information that was requested in the query). In an exception response, the slave returns an exception code in the data field. This defines the slave condition that caused the exception.

Example:

Request Message to slave

WL Configurator Brief Description

WL Configuration software,

configuration tool used to set

protective settings, set points

and additional protective

functions in the WL trip unit.

It is designed for use on a

Windows 2000 or XP PC with a

minimum of 128MB RAM and a

1.2GHz or faster processor. The

installation is a simple and

intuitive process, with step-by-

step instructions for the user.

WL Config runs in a web browser window, with the "Main Menu" tree below displayed at start-up:

After the program is installed on the PC, WL Config WL Trip Units via the PC’s serial port. The COM16 MODBUS communication module is required for use with this software. An RS485 to RS232 converter is provided as part of the WL Config Software Kit (catalog number: WLCONFIG). WL Config uses the MODBUS protocol to communicate with the COM16 (typically at 19,200 baud, even parity and with a default MODBUS address of 126).

The internal CubicleBUS communications bus of the WL Circuit Breaker allows connectivity between the COM16, Digital I/O, Analog I/O, and Electronic Trip Units (ETU). CubicleBUS requires 24V DC+ power and provides a serial link to all the modules in the WL Circuit Breaker CubicleBUS system. 24V DC power must be available in the system for communication to exist between the PC and the COM16. The serial data generated by the Trip Unit is available at the COM16, which serves as a gateway to the CubicleBUS data.

Communication-capable Circuit Breakers

WL Circuit Breaker

The main purpose of WL Config is to

communicates with

configure the communication, protective and alarm programmable parameters of the WL Trip Unit, and also configure CubicleBUS Module parameters.

The parameters changed by the user and sent to the device are verified by the PC program and the device for a valid setting, and if out of range, an error message is displayed. Alarms can also be configured for any associated I/O modules.

WL Config can interrogate a Trip Unit for instantaneous or historical data and display that information for user evaluation. If the system is equipped with the optional Metering Plus module, the voltage and current waveforms and any harmonic information can be viewed.

Note: WL Config can be also used in an offline mode, without a WL Trip Unit attached, to allow the configuration of a particular job to be completed and verified prior to downloading. This offers the advantages of quickly configuring many trip units with the same data and also provides organized electronic files for storing past configurations.

Breaker Data Adapter (BDA)

WL Circuit Breaker

Brief Description and System Requirements

The Breaker Data Adapter (BDA)

is the first circuit breaker

parameterization device to

feature an integrated webserver

for parameterization, monitoring

and diagnostics. The BDA Plus

also features an Ethernet

interface for connection to the

Ethernet, Intranet or Internet.

Description

The BDA can be used to read and change the parameters of WL Circuit Breakers, display measured values, as well as visualize, analyze and store diagnostic data.

It is comprised of a microcomputer on which an embedded Linux operating system featuring a web server application runs. The HTML pages and the Java program codes are stored in the internal flash and can be displayed on a browser. The browser itself displays the HTML pages, while the more complex functions are implemented using Java applets. A Java Virtual Machine (VM) is required to run the Java applets. This is available free of charge for a wide range of browsers and operating systems.

All the pages that can be displayed are stored on the BDA in German and English; the language is selected when the data is called up in the browser for the first time. A new language can be selected during operation.

The cable supplied is used to connect the BDA to the WL Circuit Breaker. The BDA can either be connected directly to the trip unit or to the last

CubicleBUS module. The indicator with the browser application (e.g. laptop) is connected to the BDA using a null modem cable.

The Breaker Data Adapter Plus features an additional Ethernet interface, which means that the BDA Plus can also be addressed via the Intranet or Internet. The communication options available via the Intranet or Internet are restricted only by the network administration.

All write actions (changing parameters or switching actions) are password protected.

When connected temporarily, the BDA can be used to read and change parameters, perform diagnoses, or display measured values. For this reason, a magnet is supplied with the BDA so that it can be attached to doors and other elements containing iron. The DIN rail installation kit supplied can be used to connect the BDA permanently. Depending on the application, the BDA Plus is normally used for a permanent connection. In this way, it can be accessed via the Ethernet, Intranet or Internet.

If the WL is to be switched open or closed via the BDA, the MODBUS COM16 module must also be installed. This contains the connections for activating the opening and closing solenoids and the motorized drive.

The MODBUS communication function does not have to be enabled at this point.

Benefits of the BDA:

• No special software has to be installed; the display software is supplied with the circuit breaker data directly from the BDA. The appropriate help pages are also stored directly in the BDA, which means they are always available when they are needed.

• The comprehensive use of Java technology ensures the systems can operate regardless of the operating system. This means that the BDA can be used with all Windows versions, Linux, and all other operating systems provided by the corresponding Java Virtual Machine.

• Smaller hand-held devices with PocketPC as the operating system can also be used, as can PCs or notebooks, provided they fulfill the system requirements.

BDA in Offline Mode (or BDA Plus)

In offline mode, the BDA or BDA Plus is only connected to a laptop (represents all input/output devices). All the required parameters can be set in this operating mode and saved for later use (download to the circuitbreakers). No power is supplied via the laptop COM interface, which means that an additional power supply unit (24V DC) must be connected to the BDA.

BDA as a Hand-Held Device (or BDA Plus)

As a hand-held device, the BDA is operated by connecting it temporarily to the appropriate WL trip unit interface.

All circuit breakers in a system can be parameterized one after the other using just one BDA, and the parameter data saved to a laptop for further processing. In addition, all the diagnostic data of the circuit breaker can be read via the BDA.

An additional 24V DC power supply is required if the circuit breaker is not yet supplied with power (e.g. by means of an external 24V DC source on the CubicleBUS).

Graphic 4-1 The BDA must be supplied externally with 24V DC. Parameters can be set, stored,

and printed out.

BDA Plus as an Ethernet Interface

In addition to the previously mentioned functions, the BDA Plus enables data to be accessed via the Ethernet. In this case, the circuit breaker data is not transmitted as net data, but displayed on HTML pages in an application-specific format. The BDA/BDA Plus cannot be used to integrate the circuit breakers in higher level visualization systems. To display several WL Circuit Breakers around the clock online using the communication system in a switchgear unit without the MODBUS module, one BDA Plus is required for each circuit breaker. In this case, the circuit breaker is selected by entering the BDA-specific IP address in the browser. Password protection in the BDA and BDA Plus prevents unauthorized access.

By making the appropriate settings on any firewall, WL Circuit Breakers can also be accessed via the Intranet and Internet.

Graphic 4-3 Depending on the network settings (routing tables and firewall entries),

the circuit breaker can be diagnosed by all PCs with an Internet connection.

System Requirements

Certain prerequisites have to be fulfilled before the BDA or BDA Plus can be operated. One of the two standard browsers (Internet Explorer V5.5 or higher or Netscape Navigator V6.2 or higher) must be installed on the output device (e.g. laptop). Compatibility with other browsers cannot be guaranteed.

To ensure independence between the operating systems and browsers, all the pages have been written in HTML code and Java applets. A Java Virtual Machine is required to display the pages.

What is Java?

Java is a platform-neutral objectoriented programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Java is implemented in all IT areas of the commercial, industrial and administrative sectors, and is available free of charge for many operating systems and platforms – from cell phones to real-time mainframe systems.

Unlike most compiler languages, Java applets are not directly translated into a set of commands that can be understood by a "Real Processor". Instead, they are first converted to the "Java Byte Code". Although this byte code is highly machine-oriented, a "Java Virtual Machine" (VM), which emulates a standardized processor for all Java applets, is required on the target computer.

Since Java normally compiles data twice (once with the developer and once with the user), this principle is known as the “Just-In-Time “(JIT) Compiler. Although, Java applets take longer to start, since the machine code is generated during initialization.

However, the same Java applet can run on all supported systems without modifications.

The Java Virtual Machine V2 V1.4.0_01 is required to display the BDA pages. When these pages are called up for the first time, the BDA checks whether Java VM2 is available on the browser. If not, the system automatically displays a window informing the user of this and automatically links the user to the appropriate Sun Microsystems page. An Internet connection must be established to ensure the automatic installation procedure functions properly. If this is not the case, the Virtual Machine required for the Microsoft Windows operating systems can be downloaded from the following address:

http://ja /j2se/1.4.0_01/index.html

Once installed, the option Java 2VM V1.4.0_01 must be activated in the browser (if it is not already).

To avoid conflicts with other Java versions, it is recommended that you uninstall older versions of Java and delete the cache in the browser.

The target system with the browser also requires one or both of the following communication interfaces:

• A serial interface with RS232

• A LAN interface for

Circuit breaker requirements

The BDA can be connected to WL Circuit Breakers with the following trip units: ETU745, ETU748, ETU755 and ETU776. It can be connected either directly to the trip unit or to the last external CubicleBUS module. Circuit breakers can also communicate with the BDA if they have been retrofitted with the communication function.

Getting started with the BDA Plus

If the BDA Plus is is being installed for the first time, the settings for the IP address and the standard gateway as well as the subnet mask must be set using the serial communication via RS232. After this the BDA Plus must be rebooted to load the Ethernet driver with the specified parameters.

Connection to WL Circuit Breakers

To operate the BDA, it must be

connected to the target system

(e.g. a PC) on one side and a

circuit breaker on the other.

Different scenarios are possible

depending on the application.

For WL Circuit Breakers, two basic methods are available for connecting the BDA, temporary of permanent installation.

Temporary

If the BDA is to be used as a local parameterization tool and several circuit breakers are to be set in succession, the local front interface of the trip unit can be used. The cable required is supplied with the BDA. An additional 24V DC power supply unit is also required if the circuit breaker is not yet supplied with power via the CubicleBUS. For this purpose, a voltage connection is located on the top of the BDA next to the interface to the circuit breaker.

In temporary mode, the BDA can be quickly secured to any switchgear cubicle using magnets on the back.

Permanent

The trip unit interface through the front connection is not suitable if a BDA or BDA Plus is to be permanently connected to a WL Circuit Breaker. The connection on the last CubicleBUS module, such as the COM16 module, or one of the other modules, is more suitable. In this case, a cable is supplied with the BDA that can be connected directly to the RJ45 plug-in contact of the CubicleBUS module. Typically,

a BDA Plus is used for permanent installation. The DIN rail installation kit supplied is used to secure the device.

The principle regarding the power supply is the same as for temporary operation: if the CubicleBUS is supplied with power, the BDA will also operate without an extra power supply unit. Otherwise, the BDA must also be connected to a 24V DC power supply unit.

Note: Do not use temporary magnetic installation for BDA where it can fall into energized parts.

Operation

As a microcomputer, the BDA is booted in the same way as a PC. This takes approximately 40 seconds and is started automatically when the power supply is switched on. During this time, the content is loaded from the Flash memory to the main memory, an internal self test is carried out, the operating system (embedded Linux) is booted, and the web server application started.

The RESET button on the underside enables the BDA to be restarted manually at any time.

The LEDs indicate the operating status during the boot-up process. The upper DEVICE LED is first red/green, while the lower CubicleBUS LED is red only. After about 10 seconds, this also changes to red/green. During the load process, the Ethernet connection is checked for a connected network. Only then is the appropriate driver loaded. Since the BDA Plus is to be operated with an Ethernet connection, a physical connection to the Ethernet must already exist during the boot-up process.

When the boot-up process is complete, the DEVICE LED switches to green, while the CubicleBUS LED switches to green or is extinguished, depending on the connection.

If the BDA is not supplied power via the CubicleBUS of the WL, it must be activated via an external 24V DC power supply. Siemens SITOP 24V DC power supplies are suitable for this purpose.

Other 24V DC power supply units that supply the required power can also be used.

Connection to the BDA via the Serial Communication System

To operate the BDA, it must be

connected to the target system

(e.g. a PC) on one side and a

circuit breaker on the other. A

range of options are available,

depending on the application

and operating system.

To ensure that serial communication is possible between the target system and the BDA, you should carry out the following steps:

• Connect the BDA to the circuit breaker and power supply.

• Connect the BDA to the COM interface of the target system (e.g. PC) using a fully assigned null modem cable. Note: With a null modem cable, pins 2 and 3, 4 and 6, and 7 and 8 must be assigned and reversed with respect to each other. The COM port cannot be used by a different application.

• Installing a standard modem. Once the physical connection has been established using a null modem cable, a standard modem must be installed on each PC. The procedure for installing the modem varies slightly depending on the operating system. The screenshots on the following pages provide a step-by-step guide to the procedure. The standard modem to be selected - 28800 bps - is not related to the actual transmission rate. The examples illustrate the connection to the COM1 interface; other interfaces must be set accordingly. The installation process always begins in the Control Panel of the operating system. The default settings in the "Properties" windows of the modem do not

usually have to be changed. They are shown as a reference. The screenshots on the following pages for Windows98 are identical for Windows95, WindowsNT, and WindowsME. WindowsXP screens are virtually the same as those in Windows2000.

• Installing a data communications connection. Once a standard modem has been installed, a communications link must be established via this modem. To do so, a data communications connection must be set up via "Workstation > Data Communications Network". Once the appropriate modem has been selected, the maximum rate has to be selected again. The name of the connection is user defined, while the user name must be "ppp" and the address signal "555". A preselection code and password must not be entered. All of these settings are shown on the following pages. Windows98 screenshots are used to represent the operating systems Windows95, Windows98; WindowsNT, and WindowsME. Only the screenshots from WindowsXP are used for Windows2000 and WindowsXP.

• Establishing the connection. A communications link is established by activating the installed data communications connection. Once the user name and password have been checked (a password must not be entered), the window for establishing the connection disappears from the Windows systray. The systray is the area on the bottom right next to the system clock in the toolbar. A small icon with two computers appears here. Double-clicking this opens a window displaying the properties of this connection. A test ping can also be used to

check that the connection has been established correctly. Once you have opened the entry screen (Start > Execute) and entered "ping 2.2.2.1", a DOS box appears that displays either "Reply from

2.2.2.1 after..." (connection OK) or "Reply timed out" (connection not available).

• Start the browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator)

• Entering the target IP address

2.2.2.1. You have to enter 2.2.2.1 in the address line. The usual "http://" does not have to be entered. When you press ENTER, the pages will be loaded from the BDA. Note: You may have to include the address 2.2.2.1 in the list of addresses that do not use a proxy server. The use of a proxy server is optional and depends on the network.

A desktop link can be created if the BDA connection is used frequently. To create an Internet Explorer link with the local IP address of the BDA on the desktop, you have to drag the Internet Explorer icon in the address line to the left of the address to the desktop. Alternatively, the BDA start icon can be used. To do so, press the left mouse button to save it on the hard disk as a bitmap and specify it as an icon in the properties window of the link saved on the desktop.

Connection to the BDA Plus via the Ethernet Interface

In addition to communication

via the serial RS232 channel, the

BDA Plus features an Ethernet

interface. If the BDA Plus is to be

addressed via this interface, it

must be integrated in the local

Ethernet (LAN). This chapter

explains a number of key terms

and settings.

Ethernet

Unlike the MODBUS, Ethernet does not function according to a masterslave principle. All the stations have equal priority on the bus, which means that any station can be the sender and/or receiver.

A sender can only send on the bus if no other station is sending at that point. This is due to the fact that the stations are always "listening in" to find out whether any messages are being sent to them or any

senders are currently active. If a sender has started sending, it checks that the message it has sent is not corrupt. If the message is not corrupt, the send operation continues. If the sender detects that its data is corrupt, it must abort the send operation because a different sender has already started sending data.

After a random time has elapsed, the sender restarts the send operation. This is known as CSMA/CD and, because it is a “random” access procedure, does not guarantee a response within a certain time frame. This largely depends on the bus load, which means that real-time applications cannot yet be implemented with Ethernet.

Definition of Key Terms

An Intranet system is comprised of several Ethernet lines connected to each other via gateways within a company. The structure of an Intranet system can be just as

WL Circuit Breaker

diverse as that of the Internet: it can be restricted to one location or distributed worldwide.

Ethernet/Intranet lines are connected to each other using repeaters, bridges/switches, routers and gateways. These modules work at different levels in the ISO/OSI 7-layer model.

The repeater (or star coupler) only regenerates and strengthens the electrical signal; it does not interpret bits. The bridge (or switch) physically separates the networks and performs fault and load disconnection. Filtering and guidance mechanisms are usually implemented. The router decouples the networks at the logical level (protocol level) by means of the specified addresses. Using routing tables, it knows which messages are to be sent to which address. It continues to work, however, on a protocol-dependent basis. The gateway also enables the router to convert services.

This means that it can act as a security mechanism, such as a firewall, while functioning as a proxy.

A proxy is a program in a gateway that acts as both the server and client. It processes requests, translates them if necessary, and forwards them to the addressees. Proxies are also used to control access (firewall) and forward requests for protocols that are not supported. Intranet users in particular are familiar with the Internet/Intranet page caching function offered by proxies.

The Intranet is connected to the Internet via a company proxy, which can also act as a firewall. If a PC (user) wants to access an area of the Intranet from the Internet, the firewall must be informed of which addresses can be accessed from outside.

Graphic 4-5 This diagram illustrates the structure of an Ethernet, how an intranet is integrated,

and how this is connected to the Internet.

WL Circuit Breaker

IP Addresses

The partner must have a unique address so that it can be addressed in the extensive Intranet/Internet system. The IP address format is used for this purpose, which, as of Version 4, comprises four figures from 0 to 255, separated by a decimal point. Example:

146.254.245.62

The address is 32 bits long. Three classes have been created to enable the addresses to be structured on a world-wide basis and to ensure that the same address does not exist twice. The IP address is comprised of a small header, which describes the class, a network number, and a host number. The address of a subnetwork (Intranet, for example) is encoded in the network number. The host number is basically the unique address of a station in a network of class X and subnetwork Y.

The first byte of class A IP addresses contains a number from 0 to 127: e.g. 98.x.x.x. This class can support up to 128 subnetworks, each with around 16 million connections. Since class A networks are very limited in number, these addresses are only available for large global companies and organizations. A Network Information Center (NIC) is responsible for assigning the classes and network numbers.

Class B networks (these begin with

128.x.x.x to 191.x.x.x) support up to 16,384 subnetworks, each with up to 65,535 stations. The majority of large companies and providers have a class B address.

With around 2.1 million subnetworks, each with up to 256 stations, class C addresses are often used by smaller providers and companies with no more than 256 connections in their corporate network. The IP addresses start from

192.x.x.x to 223.x.x.x

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask provides information on the size of the subnetwork (Intranet) and its address band. In this way, each station knows whether the IP address to be addressed is located in the same subnetwork or whether it has to be addressed via a gateway.

Example:

IP address 1st BDA: 206.150.100.89

IP address 2nd BDA:

206.150.102.32

IP address gateway: 206.150.100.1

IP address browser: 206.150.100.50

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 means that all addresses whose first three bytes are the same as the station address are located on the line of that station. These can be addressed directly (in the example above, from the browser of the first BDA). A comparison of the address of the second BDA with the subnet mask shows that this address is not on the same line as the station. This means that the gateway must be addressed, via which the request is then forwarded to the second BDA. The subnet mask is usually

255.255.255.0.

BDA IP Address

The BDA must be assigned its own unique IP address that has not been used before so that it can run on the Ethernet. This address must be in the same range as the other addresses on this line.

Gateway IP Address

If an address that is not located in the subnetwork is addressed in the browser, the request is forwarded to the gateway. The gateway knows the location to which the request has to be forwarded on account of the configuration. The IP address of the gateway must be obtained from the network administrator.

If 0.0.0.0 is set as the gateway IP address, no access to a gateway has been configured.

Operation

Once the addresses have been set, it should be possible to call up the BDA Plus via the Ethernet. This can be checked using a test ping. To do so, enter "ping x.x.x.x" in Start > Execute (x.x.x.x is the placeholder for the IP address of the BDA to be addressed). The DOS box that then appears tells you either that a reply from the "pinged" IP address is received, or that the request has been timed out. In this case, no connection has yet been established from the BDA Plus to the target system.

Note: You may have to include the IP address of the BDA Plus in the list of addresses that do not use a proxy server. The use of a proxy server is optional and depends on the network.

Once a connection has been established, start the browser and enter the IP address of the BDA Plus in the address line.

Operating Instructions and Troubleshooting

The BDA supports state-of-the-

art communications technology.

It can be implemented

regardless of the operating

system and browser used.

The instructions provided

here, show you how to

make particular settings.

A troubleshooting table is

included at the end to help

you solve any problems.

Languages and Help

The BDA interface is in German and English. The language is selected every time the browser is started.

In addition to the HTML pages and Java applets, the BDA stores the accompanying help pages in different languages. The help pages can be called up where they are available via the question mark icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. They are available whenever the BDA is activated. The help pages are available in German and English.

Offline/Online Mode

The BDA (and BDA Plus) can be run in two different operating modes.

Online mode

Online mode is activated automatically when the BDA is connected to a circuit breaker. In this mode, the current operating and diagnostic data, as well as the parameters are displayed and loaded directly to the circuit breaker after they have been changed. Online mode is indicated by a green CubicleBUS LED.

If the connection to the circuit breaker is interrupted, the BDA switches to offline mode. This also occurs if a file has been opened under "Parameter Transfer" or received from the circuit breaker.

Offline mode

If the BDA is supplied with 24V DC and is not connected to a circuit breaker, the BDA starts in Offline mode, indicated by the CubicleBUS LED not illuminated. Offline mode is used to configure the BDA even if it is not connected to a circuit breaker, and save this file for later use.

To switch from Offline to Online mode, first connect a circuit breaker. You then press either the "Online" or "Send Parameters" button in "Parameter Transfer".

Displaying Data

WL Circuit Breakers use "Property Bytes", which provide information on the required value, such as

Breaker Data Adapter (BDA)

WL Circuit Breaker

whether it is available, or readable and/or writable. The display then changes depending on the property byte.

If a value is not available, for example, because the circuit breaker does not have any neutral conductor protection (N-conductor protection parameter), it is displayed as an empty white field with no outline.

If a value is available, the system differentiates between whether it is only readable or also writable. "Read Only" data is displayed in black on a gray background in a black, outlined field. If the value is also writable, the background is white.

Values that are available but not currently valid are displayed in red. This could be the case, for example, if the number of measured values available for calculating the long-term values of the current is insufficient because the circuit breaker has just been closed.

Figure 4-19 The way data is displayed on the BDA pages depends on the property byte.

This tells you which data is read only, which data can be written, and which data is not available.

Password Protection

All write actions that would result in a change to the status or a parameter in the circuit breaker are password protected. This ensures that parameters cannot be changed and switching is impossible without this password.

Note: The electronic relays of the COM16 module are required to open and close the WL via the BDA.

The default password is

"sentron"

This can be changed by choosing "Extras > Password" in the BDA tree (recommended). You have to enter the new password twice. When you click OK, the BDA asks you for the old password.

If you have forgotten it, it can be reset by means of a master password. To do so, contact Technical Assistance at 1-800-964-4114 seainfo@sea.siemens.com

Operation Example

This example describes the functionality of the BDA. If you want to set the MODBUS address of the COM16 module for a WL Circuit Breaker, open the Communication node by choosing "Device Parameters > Circuit Breaker". Then click the input/output field next to the MODBUS address and edit it with the new address. Once you have changed this parameter and exited the field, the outline turns blue to indicate parameters that have not yet been transferred to the circuit breaker.

You can then change other parameters. If you want to transfer the modified parameters to the circuit breaker, click OK on this page.

If the parameter transfer process is the first write action in this session, the system prompts you to enter the password. Once you have entered the password successfully, the data is transmitted to the circuit breaker.

If you want to reset the modified parameters, click the "Undo" button.

If you exit the parameters page without clicking OK, the changes are ignored.

Printing

Since Java applets are used, the normal print function in your browser on the parameter pages will not provide a satisfactory printout.

If you want to print the parameters for documentation purposes, open the pages to be printed from the tree in the BDA. All the parameter pages are displayed again under "Extras > Print", and you can print them individually as required using the print menu in your browser.

Comparing Parameters

The parameter comparison function is used to check whether the parameters set in WL Config or the BDA match those in the device. The following parameters are checked:

• Protection parameters A and B

• Extended protection function parameters

• Threshold value settings

• Measurement function settings

• Communication parameters

• Settings for the configurable output module

The parameter comparison function can be used, for example, to ensure that the set parameters are transferred without any errors once they have been downloaded to the device.

It is not possible to determine whether the parameters and settings loaded to the device have actually been transferred. This is because, for example:

• BDA just forwards parameter changes. Whether a parameter is correct can only be verified in the memory location (e.g. in the trip unit). If this changes the value because one has exceeded the maximum value, for example, the modified value is reported back to the BDA. This discrepancy would be detected when a subsequent parameter comparison is performed.

• In the BDA interface, not all values regarding the differences between minimum/maximum values and other parameters are checked. This means that a parameter could be entered that cannot be copied in the trip unit in its current form.

Solution

Ensure that you are using a fully-assigned null modem cable. With a null modem cable, pins 2 and 3, 4 and 6, and 7 and 8 must be assigned and reversed with respect to each other.

Before starting the BDA, disconnect the null modem cable from the BDA and reboot the BDA (DEVICE LED is green). Then reconnect the cable.

The COM port that you are using on the target system must not be used by a different application.

Check the modem and data communications connection settings. You must choose "555". Only the user name "ppp" works.

In the Control Panel, you also have to set the baud rate for the COM interface that you are using to 115200.

Ensure that the option "Use Java v1.4.0 <applet>" is active in the browser.

Delete the cache memory of the browser.

Open the Java plug-in operator panel in the Control Panel. Check that the plug-in is active and Version 1.4.0 is selected under "Extended". On the "Browser" tab page, the browser that you are using must be active, and the Java VM cache can be deleted. Then restart the system.

If the problem persists, remove any older versions of Java you may have.

Check the settings for the gateway, the subnet mask, and the proxy. Enter the address of the BDA to be addressed in the proxy so that it is not routed via the proxy. This only works if the BDA is located in the network specified by the subnet mask.

You cannot establish a connection to the BDA Plus via the Ethernet.

Ping the BDA address to check whether TCP/IP communication is established to the BDA. If the ping does not work, check the network configuration again with your network administrator. If the BDA replies to a ping but not to a request to call up the browser, reset the BDA.

The BDA must have already been booted with a connected Ethernet cable so that the Ethernet interface is activated. To solve the problem, connect the active Ethernet cable and boot up the BDA.

The system displays a message about security settings and the BDA pages stop loading.

Table 4-3 This troubleshooting list helps you solve any problems you may encounter communicating with the BDA. If you have any other problems,

Technical Assistance at 1-800-964-4114 will be happy to help.

The security level of the browser is set to "Secure" and stops Java applets from running, for example. For this reason, you have to reduce the security level to a level where the security message no longer appears and the BDA pages are displayed.
