Transmit the intermediate reading value (IR) every minute and the end of period reading value
(EPR) every 15 minutes to both Network Control Centers. Please link it to input channel 9 of the
binary input module place 18. The customer wants a register reset to zero only, if it is full.
1 step position information 8 bit:
Please adjust the consistency check time to 3 sec. The Network Control Centers expect the
value with Priority 2. The transformer tap changer delivers the tap position as BCD code.
19.2.4.4. Binary Output Module 23BA20 (slot 17)

Please configure the switch command outputs for the 3 circuit breakers (Q0). The output shall
be according 1,5 pole scheme and with 1-out-of-N check.
The interposing relays for the line feeder circuit breakers must be energized for 5 seconds.
The interposing relays for the transformer circuit breaker shall be energized not more than 20
seconds. The interposing relays must be de-energized 1 second after the RTU received the new
position indication of the transformer circuit breaker

of the interposing relay for the transformer circuit breaker is 5 kOhm.

19.2.4.6. Analogue Input 23AE21 (slot 13)

Line feeder K01: AMI 01

The transmission shall run according to the integrated threshold supervision method with
threshold 10%. The measurement signal comes from the transducer in the range 20mA
(unipolar). Signal conversion is not required, 20mA corresponds to signal 100%. The
measurement value shall be spontaneously transferred to NCC1 as normalized value and to
NCC2 as scaled value. 20mA corresponds to scaled 400A. Zero range = 0.5.

Line feeder K02: AMI 02

The transmission shall run according to the integrated threshold supervision method with
threshold 5%. The measurement signal comes from the transducer in the range 4...20mA with
live zero supervision. Signal conversion is not required, 20mA corresponds to signal 100%. The
measurement value shall be spontaneously transferred to the NCCs as normalized value.

Transformer feeder K03: AMI 03

The measurement signal comes from the transducer in the range 0...20mA. The transmission
shall run according to the integrated threshold supervision method with threshold 12% and
additionally with a background cycle: The CPU of the RTU560 is going to use this analogue
input value as input to a PLC-program. Therefore adjust the background cycle for data transfer
from the input board to SLI/ETH to 2 second (RTU DB). The measurement value shall be
transferred to the NCCs as normalized value with a background cycle of 5 minutes. This value
must not be archived.

19.2.4.7. Analogue Output 23AA20 (slot 11)

Manually fill in the table Local IO by lines for the datapoints which are still in the Signal Tree of
your pattern file.
Then delete the signal tree. Don’t forget to delete the signals in the hardware tree.
Do the Excel-import procedure as in the previous excercise.
Initialize Excel Interface

19.5. Telecontrol Telegrams

19.5.1. Simulation of Network Control Center at IEC870-5-101 or -104

Connect your PC as network control center to the parameterized telecontrol interface of the
RTU, e.g. with the cable ABB 23PK27 .

Start Comprotware Testtool, mode controlling.

1) Switch-over a circuit breaker at the simulator desk CLOSED-OPEN and check the
coming telegram in CPPT.
2) Switch-over a circuit breaker at the simulator desk to intermediate and to faulty position
and check the coming telegram in CPPT.
3) Repeat this for a disconnector with parameterized midpoint supervision. Which difference
do you recognize concerned to 2).
4) Switch the signal point indication (SPI) which you did configure to maximum chatter
frequency 2 Hz, four times ON and OFF at the simulator desk. Wait one minute and
check then the SPI telegrams at the Comprotware tool. What do you recognize ?
5) Change a measurement and check the telegram. Change a live-zero measurement value
below 4 mA at the simulator desk and check the coming telegram in CPPT.
6) Send an analogue setpoint for the tap changer to the RTU. Check at the simulator
display, if it is correctly adjusted.
7) Send a double command to the RTU and check, if the green LED in the simulator desk
switches for the time parameterized.
8) What happens, if the resistance value in the output circuit is wrong ?
9) Send a command to the output channel, to which you parameterized de-energizing after
new position indication. Adjust the new position indication manually.
10) Which telegram is generated, if you press the small red button on 23BA22 two times ?
11) Parameterize in RTUtil network tree “synchronize by telegrams”. Check, if RTU is
synchronized, if you send IEC telegram type 103.
12) Parameterize commands in RTUtil as “select before operate” and release a command by
sending of two telegrams from Comprotware: 1) SELECT 2)OPERATE
13) Start the CPPT-testtool twice at your PC. Adjust both windows below each other on your
screen. Select in menu EDIT PROTOCOL PROFILE the IEC870-5-104 telegram and
the TCP/IP address 127.0.0.1 (local host) in both windows. In one window you adjust
“OPERATE as controlled”. In the other window you adjust “OPERATE as controlling”.
Press T - and you see that both windows exchange frames on link level. Press H -
and you get the hex code of the communication.
19.5.2. Telegram Listening at IEC870-5-101

Connect a second PC for listening purpose between the PC, which is used for Network Control
Center Simulation, and the RTU. Use two cables type ABB 23PK27, one cable ABB 23PK22
and adapter ABB 23PK30.
Start the Comprotware Testtool on the second PC also.
Repeat some of the tests of 19.5.1
