Power Automation
Progress. Its that simple.
As a first example, it has to be checked in a simple way that the communication
between the devices is functional.
For that, function key 1 of a device is to be pressed so that LED 1
lights up.
This signal has to be transmitted to the other device via the
IEC 61850 station bus.
If function key 2 is pressed, the signal will be reseted.

Interrogation of the message status in CFC
The status of the IEC61850 annunciation obtained from the system
interface is checked in CFC. For this purpose the logic module
SI_GET_STATUS is provided.
The module SI_GET_STATUS decodes the status of a single point
indication, whereby the structure of the single point indication routed to
input X is decoded to the VALUE of the signal and the following status
information:
05/2007
58
Power Transmission and Distribution
Power Automation
Progress. Its that simple.
The output NV generates a signal NV=1, when the annunciation is no longer updated (update at
second intervals). The signal from the NV output can then be routed (best with a negator) to a LED
or output contact. The module SI_GET_STATUS can be applied in all process layers.
At this point it is worth mentioning that the status of double point indications can also be
interrogated in CFC. For this purpose CFC provides the module DI_GET_STATUS.
Result:
As long as the communication is functioning between the devices, the present state of the bus
release annunciation can be obtained without ambiguity. A communication failure results in the
appearance of the status NV message via CFC.
