The internal blockings of SYS600 and control blockings of Power Process Library standard functions can be bypassed with Forced open/close control  e.g the station or bay L/R switch is not updated  the disconnector of secondary substation is not updated  CB is in the middle position (stuck) However, this does not disable any interlockings or other IED measures, that is, no special bypass messages are sent to the IEDs If normal operation is possible, then also forced operations is possible

5 Process controlling 5.7.1.3 Device level override  



Can be used with IEC 61850 protocol If the switch device is interlocked or syncrocheck inhibits the control, the corresponding check-box can be selected and switch device can be controlled in a normal way Event List shows that controlling was done with bypass option





© ABB Group April 14, 2015 | Slide 20

During some communication problems or field device failure, the position of the switch is not automatically known by the system By simulation the consistency of the database can be maintained manually in case of an abnormal situation Simulation state is indicated on the process displays in blue color and with messages on control dialogs

5 Process controlling 5.7.3 Operation counter 





Counts the number of changes in the object state The counter increases by one every time the device is closed or earthed When the limit is exceeded, the information is shown in the Object status field of Control dialog and on the Operation counter tab

4

P281 MicroSCADA Pro SYS600 Operation

EXERCISE 1

3. Open for example the Event Display. Now you can get back the previous Process Display by selecting Navigate menu > Process or by selecting Show Process Display from the Navigate toolbar.

1.3 Opening several MicroSCADA Pro monitors to same application 1. To open two or more Monitor Pro instances, use the SYS600 Monitor Pro icon in the MicroSCADA Pro Control System SYS600 folder as described earlier. 2. A new Monitor Pro can also be opened by selecting Main > New Monitor.

1.4 Handling MicroSCADA Pro monitors The handling of Monitor Pro is similar to the handling of any Windows type of application window. 1. The monitor can be moved with mouse by dragging it from the caption of the monitor. 2. Double-clicking the caption maximizes or restores the monitor. 3. If the monitors overlap each other, clicking one monitor brings it on the top of the desktop.

5

P281 MicroSCADA Pro SYS600 Operation

EXERCISE 1

4. Clicking the icon in the toolbar of the desktop brings the monitor also on the top of the desktop.

5. You can also bring the monitor on the top of the desktop by keeping the Alt button down and after that pressing and releasing the Tab button until the desired monitor is found from the list.

6. The Monitor Pro / Application window menu has also some functions to handle the monitor.

1.5 Ending session 1. If you want logout the username, but leave Monitor Pro running select Main > Logout. The Monitor Pro – Logout dialog is shown and if the Logout button is clicked the user name and user authority are cleared. Monitor Pro is still running showing the Starup.v display and the Monitor Pro – Login dialog. A new login can be done or the Monitor Pro – Login dialog can be closed. In case you closed the Monitor Pro – Login dialog you can open it again by clicking the Startup display. 2. To close Monitor Pro and log out the user name directly, select Main > Exit. 3. Click Yes in the Monitor Pro - end session confirmation dialog to end the session.

6

P281 MicroSCADA Pro SYS600 Operation

EXERCISE 1

4. The session can also be ended by selecting Close in the Application window menu or by clicking the Close button in the upper right corner of the application window.

When the monitor is closed, the application displays are not visible anymore, but the SYS600 service is still running and the SYS600 database is receiving data from the process.

1.6 Time based logout 1. In Monitor Pro select Tools > Engineering Tools > User Management > Timeouts. 2. Click the Monitor Pro Session Timeout field of the role Administrator (username abb has a role Administrator). 3. Enter a session timeout value 3 (minutes) > press Enter > click OK to save a new setting.

7

4.3 Limits Before the analog process object can generate warnings and alarms, the limit values must be set (in practice further automatic or manual configuration of the process object is needed to enable warnings and alarms, but this is handled later during the engineering courses). 1. Before setting any new limits, use the current potentiometer in the simulator to find out the maximum value of current L1 before trip. Measured value

High alarm limit High warning limit

Low warning limit Low alarm limit

2. Open the Advanced view > Limits tab > select the measurement, e.g. L1 > enter the appropriate limit values to the fields > Apply. The Maximum and Minimum value fields are dimmed because these values are calculated automatically. When the limit values are appropriate for L1, use Copy – Paste – Apply to define the limits also for L2 and L3. The entered limit values are validated.

Right clicking the Limits area opens Copy – Paste shortcut menu

31

EXERCISE 4

3. When the limit values are set, they are shown as lines in the drawing area of the bar graphs.

The minimum and maximum values are now calculated as follows: -

the calculated maximum value is High alarm limit + 10% * (High alarm limit - Low alarm limit) OR value + 10% * (High alarm limit - Low alarm limit)

-

the calculated minimum value is Low alarm limit - 10% * (High alarm limit - Low alarm limit) value - 10% * (High alarm limit - Low alarm limit).

Exercise 7 7.

Blocking Display Exercise 7 will familiarize you with some blockings and deblockings and reading the Blocking Display. The Blocking menu and toolbar are explained in the end of exercise 7.

7.1 Blocking with control dialog 7.1.1 Update blocked in station Valley 1. Select the process display Valley > Station L/R Switch dialog > Blocking > set Update blocked > Apply.

Almost all graphical power process symbols in the process display have magenta color. This means that all input process objects under this station name are Update blocked. In the process display there are measurements with the graph type ‘Value, simple’, which can show only black text, but if you open the measurement control dialog, the blocking information is anyway available. 2. Open the Blocking Display from the Navigate menu. When the Blocking Display is opened, it shows the present blocking situation of the process objects. The Blocking Display can be updated with the Refresh button if there have been changes in the process database while the Blocking Display has been open.

EXERCISE 7

7.1.2 Control blocked in station Valley 1. In the Station L/R Switch dialog deblock Update > block Control > Apply.

The graphical power process symbols which are connected to controlling process objects (output objects) have now brown color. This means that all output process objects under this station name are Control blocked. 2. Open the Blocking Display or click Refresh Blockings. 3. Despite the station or bay level blocking, you can for example separately deblock Control of the circuit breaker. Open the Switch control dialog of Q0 in the bay City center > Blocking tab > deblock Control > Apply. After a while the power process symbol of Q0 should have a normal status (no blockings). If you now select again the Blocking tab of the Station L/R Switch dialog, you should notice that the selection mark in the Control blocking check box is slightly dimmed. Dimming is used to indicate discrepancy in the blockings. The entire station was Control blocked, but after that the circuit breaker Q0 was Control deblocked i.e. some output objects of the station are blocked, some are not. 4. Next remove all blockings in the Station L/R switch dialog.

7.2 Blocking with Blocking Display Next do the same blockings with the Blocking Display, which you made previously with the control dialog, see next page.
