1 Introduction
The One-line Electrotechnical Workshop is a graphic editing tool that manipulates and
simulates three-phase electrotechnical diagrams. Single-phase and direct-current
components are not simulated. Although there are no complete standards that rule one-
line schematic design, the designation used in Automation Studio ™ complies with the
philosophy of international standards such as IEC and NEMA.

This user guide provides all the required information to use and work efficiently with the
One-line Electrotechnical workshop of Automation Studio™. This guide includes technical
specifications for components, procedures to define properties, instructions for building
and simulating circuits, and provides examples of applications.

This guide is organized as follows:

Chapter 2 One-Line Electrotechnical Diagram Editor : This section describes all Automation
Studio™ menus related to one-line electrotechnical functions.

Chapter 3 One-Line Electrotechnical Workshop : This section describes all the editing and
documentation functions available with the one-line electrotechnical workshop.

Chapter 4 Simulation : This section describes all the simulation functions available with
the one-line electrotechnical workshop.

The editor of the One-line Electrotechnical Workshop is not graphically compatible with
the other Automation Studio™ editors. Only components from the One-line
Electrotechnical Workshop and from the HMI & Control panel workshop can be used in a
one-line electrotechnical diagram.

Components from the One-line Electrotechnical Workshop cannot be used on other types
of diagrams. However, variables from the SFC workshop can be associated with
components from the One-line Electrotechnical Workshop without any problem. In the
same way, variables from the One-line Electrotechnical Workshop can be associated with
certain components from other workshops.

Automation Studio™ components are either emitters or receivers. An emitting component


transmits its state or value to receiving components that are associated with it. A
receiver component receives its state, value and “Tag Name” from the emitter to which it

is associated. For example, at Figure 1-1: Compatibility between Workshops, a


disconnector from the one-line workshop can communicate its state to a step from the
SFC workshop.

3 One-Line Electrotechnical Workshop
Functionalities
This chapter presents the features of the one-line electrotechnical workshop. It covers the
following points:
● Component management;
● Symbol management;
● Essential Subdivision / Location management;
● Component type management;
● Naming rule management;
● Standard management;
● Identifier management;
● Diagnostics.

The One-line Electrotechnical Workshop is designed to allow the greatest flexibility


regarding the usage of standards. In contrast to standard Electrotechnical Diagrams which
can either follow the NEMA or the IEC standard, One-line Diagrams do not have rigorously
fixed standards and you can create and modify standards.

The standard of a document manages the usable component types and their naming
fashion. Thus, creating a standard requires defining component types and naming rules. It
is possible to choose the symbol of a given component from a selection of alternate
symbols proposed.

The way in which a component is affected by a standard is summarized in Figure 3-1:

3.1 Component Management


One-line electrotechnical components are managed similarly to the components in other
workshops.

The “Component Properties” accessible from the "View" tab under the "Properties" group
or from the component contextual menu give you access to the properties of the
selected component. The “Data” branch in the component properties dialogue box is
made of different groups in which you can define the behavior of the component. These
groups can be shown or hidden by clicking on the plus (+) or minus (-) sign beside the
category name. The details of each property can be displayed by clicking on "Show
details" at the bottom of the window.

3-2
One-Line Electrotechnical Workshop Functionalities

Figure 3-2 : Component Properties : Detail Panel

A description of the technical data and of the behavior of the component is available by
clicking on the help button.

The “Component Type” branch allows you to see and to modify the type of the
component at hand. It is this property that is used to generate the component identifier
according to the naming rule specified in the project’s active standard. For more
information on component types, see section 3.4 Component Type Management.

3.2 Symbol Management


Unlike components in other workshops, one-line components are not represented by one
unique symbol; it is possible to select a symbol from a selection of alternate symbols
proposed. Before inserting a component into a diagram, you can double-click on the
symbol in the library in order to get access to an alternate symbols list. This launch a
window showing other available symbols. From here, you can drag the desired symbol
into the diagram.

One-Line Electrotechnical Workshop Functionalities

Figure 3-4: Selecting a similar symbol

If you do not wish to choose a different symbol, dragging the symbol directly from the
main library will insert the default symbol used for the component.

The default symbol can be replaced by selecting the desired symbol and clicking on the
symbol library dialogues “Replace in Main Library” button.

Figure 3-5: Changing the default symbol in the main library

3.3 Managing Essential Subdivisions and Locations


Subdivisions and locations are managed in the dialogue box found under "Project
Properties" → "Electrical System" → "Essential Subdivisions / Locations".

 Essential Subdivision and Location are shared with the standard electrotechnical
workshop. An essential subdivision created for a standard electrotechnical diagram
can also be used by a one-line diagram and vice versa.

To assign a specific pair (Essential Subdivision and Location) to a component, after you
properly configured the essential subdivisions in the "Project Properties" → "Electrical
System" → "Essential Subdivisions / Locations", there are different ways to proceed:
● When a component is inserted on a diagram, the subdivision selected under the
"Edit" tab in the "Localization" group is automatically associated to the
component;
● When a component is already on the diagram and is selected, it is possible to
modify the Essential Subdivision and Location pair by choosing the desired pair
under the "Edit" tab in the "Localization" group;

Figure 3-7: Localization group, (Essential Subdivision, Location) Assignment

3.4 Component Type Management


Each one-line electrotechnical component has a default assigned type. You can change
the component type by selecting another component from the available types list. You
can also create and edit custom component types.

All Automation Studio™ projects come with a list of default component types . It is
possible to modify these types by selecting different associated components, but it is not

Automation Studio™ – One-line Electrotechnical Workshop

possible to rename them or to change their equipment category.

For more details regarding the associated components and their impact on the
components identifiers, see section 3.5 Associated Component Management.

There are two locations where component types can be accessed:


● From the “Component Types” branch of "Project Properties" → "Electrical
System" → "One-Line". This dialogue box allows you to edit or create component
types;
● From the “Component Types” branch of the “Component Properties” dialogue
box. This dialogue box allows you to assign an existing component type to a
component.

3.4.1 Creating Component Types

Component types are managed in "Project Properties" → "Electrical System" → "One-


Line" → "Component Type".

6 Associated Displays the name and type of the second


Component #2 associated component. Also displays how the
component was associated: automatically or
manually. For more information on component
association, see section 3.5 Associated
Component Management.

 When components are assembled, the assembly automatically takes the “Generic
assembly” type. It is recommended to change that type to one more appropriate
for the assembly created.

3.5 Associated Component Management


When an identifier is displayed for a one-line electrotechnical component, it is often
convenient to include information about other components that are related to the
component whose identifier is being displayed.

Automation Studio™ offers the possibility to associate components on a diagram to a


given component. This association can either be done automatically or manually. The
association will reflect on the component’s displayable tagname. The way in which the
component displayable tagname is affected is managed by the naming rule followed by
the component type. For more information on naming rules, see section 3.6 Naming Rule
Management.

 A component can have a maximum of two associated components.

3.5.1 Manual Component Association

In order to associate components, simply follow these steps:


1. Click on one of the two components you want to associate;
2. SHIFT+Click on the second component;
3. Right-click on one of the two selected components;
4. In the context menu that opens, select the type of association you wish to have
among the four choices proposed.

3-16
One-Line Electrotechnical Workshop Functionalities

Figure 3-15: Manual Component Association

Once the association is done, the component item identifiers are automatically updated
according to the naming rule followed by the component type (See section 3.6 Naming
Rule Management).

Figure 3-16: Item Identifier Automatic Update

© Famic Technologies Inc. 3-17


Automation Studio™ – One-line Electrotechnical Workshop

 It is possible to remove the component association by right-clicking on the


component and selecting “Remove associated component definitions” from the
context menu that opens. The Item Identifier is then updated and the information
that depends on associated components is replaced by a “?”.

Figure 3-17: Resetting Component Association

3.5.2 Automatic Component Association

Automation Studio™ offers the possibility to automatically associate components. When a


component is inserted into a circuit, an algorithm scans the circuit to find the closest
connected component that complies by type and naming rules.

First the algorithm moves away from it by examining the closest connected components.
If no component is found which type corresponds to the initial component’s “Associated
Component Type #1” or “Associated Component Type #2” property (See section 3.5
Associated Component Management), the algorithm moves to components one step
further. Search is stopped when the boundary “Equipotential Zone” is reached

3-18
One-Line Electrotechnical Workshop Functionalities

 If two or more components are found on the same level, the one that comes first
in the list of associated components is registered.

 The components that constitute the boundary of the equipotential zones are the
sources, transformers and converters.

Figure 3-18: Associated Component Search Algorithm

 Information that depends on associated components is replaced by a “?” when the


associated component is not found.

Naming rules are assigned to component types in the “Standards” branch of the “Project
Properties” (See section 3.7 Standard Management below for more details on standards.)

3.7 Standard Management


There are no complete international standards that dictate how one-line diagrams should
be drawn and documented. The Automation Studio ™ One-Line Electrotechnical workshop
allows users to create their own standards.

The standards in the One-Line Electrotechnical workshop manage which components can
be inserted in a document or a project, and the way these components are identified. To
do that, a standard interrelates Component Types with Naming Rules.

All Automation Studio™ projects have a standard by default called “Famic Technologies
Standard”. Naming rules can be accessed by clicking on "Project Properties" button from
the "View" tab in the "Properties" group. In the project properties navigate to "Electrical
Systems" → "One-Line" → "Standards" to find the standards. A standard is saved with the
project.

4 Simulation
In this chapter we explore the characteristics of one-line electrotechnical project
simulation. For general information on project simulation in Automation Studio ™, see the
Automation Studio™ User’s Guide.

4.1 Simulation Characteristics of One-Line


Electrotechnical Circuits
The one-line electrotechnical simulator provides a real-time working view of a display,
where each component look is derived from its components rules and context. The
behavior of components have been simplified to have the ability to simulate a large
number of components in real-time. When the components are connected together in a
drawing, they will interact together during simulation.

 Some components do not have a simulated behavior. A “*”at the beginning of


their name indicates it. When they are inserted in a circuit, other components will
still work, but the circuit will act as if the non-simulated components were not
connected to the circuit.

 Simulated components are limited to three-phase components working with


frequencies between 50 and 60Hz. Single-phase or direct-current components and
lines are not simulated.

 The simulated components are a rough approximation of reality. Transient


responses are simplified in order to ensure a close to real-time simulation
performance.

The One-line Electrotechnical Workshop offers the following simulation functionalities:


● The user can change the characteristics of certain components during simulation;
● The user can activate or deactivate switches, circuit breakers, disconnectors and
contactors;
● These switching elements can be activated and monitored by variables and
controlled from an SFC. For more information on Sequential Function Charts, see
the Sequential Function Chart User’s Guide;
● Dynamic measuring instruments are available to measure and record electrical
values;

Famic Technologies Inc. 4-1


Automation Studio™ – One-line Electrotechnical Workshop

● An electrical plotter is provided to plot different electrical values;


● Component state and voltage levels are reflected on the diagram through
customizable colors. Maximum electrical values are also monitored for
components and signals can be displayed to indicate faulty components.

4.2 Operating Components


It is often convenient to change certain electrical characteristics on a device in order to
watch the impact on circuit function. Automation Studio ™ allows you to modify certain
properties by clicking on components and modifying the desired value without having to
stop the simulation.

In order to do that:
1. Click on the desired component during simulation. If there is a modifiable property, a
“Settings” dialogue box should appear;
2. Modify the value by using the slider or by entering the desired value in the text box;

3. Hit ENTER or close the “Settings” dialogue box by clicking on the icon.

 During simulation, changing the settings using the slider will automatically change
the associated value of the device in real time.

Figure 4-1: Modifying Component Settings during Simulation

Electrical contacts (Circuit breakers, disconnectors, contactors…) are binary components;


they have two discrete states: Closed and Open.

In order to toggle between the two states, a simple click on the contact will
automatically switch states.

4-2
Simulation

Figure 4-2: Open Circuit Breaker

Figure 4-3: Closed Circuit Breaker

Electrical contacts can also be activated through variables. Each contact has a Control
variable and a Monitoring variable. The Control variable is read by the contact to update
its state and the Monitoring variable is continuously updated by the contact to reflect its
state.

Figure 4-4: Contact Variable Assignment Branch

In order to close a contact through a linked variable, you must set the Control variable; in
order to open the contact by variable, you have to reset the Control variable.

© Famic Technologies Inc. 4-3


Automation Studio™ – One-line Electrotechnical Workshop

 When a contact is linked to a control variable, clicking on it will change its state,
but the state of the control variable will remain the same. However, the state of
the Monitoring variable will always reflect the true state of the contact.

Linking variables is done in the same way as with other Automation Studio™ workshops.
See the Automation Studio™ User’s Guide for more information on how to work with
variables.

4.3 Circuit Analysis Tools


In order to allow comprehensive circuit analysis, the Automation Studio™ One-Line
Electrotechnical Workshop offers a variety of measuring instruments that display and
record electrical values in the circuit. A plotting tool is also available to show the
evolution of the measured values through time.

4.3.1 Plotter

Values in the One-line Electrotechnical Workshop are plotted in the same plotter as the
standard electrotechnical workshop.

In order to plot a quantity, simply drag the component which property you wish to plot
into the electrotechnical plotter. If the component has more than one property that can
be plot, a dialogue box will open prompting you to select which properties to plot.

Figure 4-5: Selection of Properties to Plot

4-4
Simulation

Figure 4-6: Plotted Property

 Voltage and current transformers can all be plotted in the plotter.

 The One-line Electrotechnical Workshop does not support instantaneous electrical


signals; all voltages and currents are RMS. Measured powers and energy are
active, reactive and apparent.

See the Automation Studio™ User’s Guide for more information on standard plotter
options.

4.3.2 Dynamic Measuring Instruments

Dynamic measuring instruments are specialized components satellites that allow you to
obtain useful information on the variables used in a simulation. This saves you from
inserting real components into a schematic that would affect a project’s documentation.
These instruments can be inserted into a circuit schematic during simulation.

The main purpose of these dynamic measuring instruments is to display and record a
given property. It is then possible for you to plot evolution curves of variables and to
build a complete analysis report of the simulation. Unit and refreshment period can be
modified.

The following is an example of the use of dynamic measuring instruments:

4.4 Operation and Fault Monitoring


Similarly to other Automation Studio™ workshops, the One-line Electrotechnical Workshop
allows to easily monitor circuit operation using various symbols and color signals that
show if a component is energized, active or faulty.

During simulation, all lines and components, except for circuit breakers, are displayed in
a color that reflects the voltage level across their connectors. If the voltage is below a
threshold, the component is considered de-energized and is displayed in a specific color.
If the voltage is above that threshold, the component is considered energized and is

4-10

displayed in a specific color.

Figure 4-14: Voltage Level Monitoring

 The voltage threshold as well as the displayed energized and de-energized colors
can be customized in the "Project Properties" under "Electrical System" → "One-
Line" → "One-Line Standards", then click on the "Simulation" tab.

Figure 4-15: Electrical One-Line Simulation Options

 Circuit breakers are treated differently than other one-line components. They are

© Famic Technologies Inc. 4-11


Automation Studio™ – One-line Electrotechnical Workshop

shown in a color that reflects whether they are open or closed, regardless of the
voltage level across their connectors. This allows to easily monitor the state of the
circuit by knowing which circuit breakers are tripped or opened.

Figure 4-16: Circuit Breaker State Monitoring

Component rated values are constantly monitored during simulation. If a rated value is
exceeded, a flashing symbol is displayed on the component showing which connector is
faulty and which value was exceeded.

Figure 4-17: Over-Current Flashing Symbol

One-line disconnectors have a load monitoring feature. They detect if they were operated
under load. If they were operating under load, a symbol is displayed on the affected side.
The disconnector remains usable but the fault symbol remains until the simulation ends.
