Communication Sepam can be connected to a supervision communication network (S-LAN) based on the following communication protocols: b Modbus RTU b DNP3 b IEC 60870-5-103 b IEC 61850 All the data needed for centralized equipment management from a remote monitoring and control system are available via the communication port: b reading: all measurements, alarms, protection settings,... b writing: breaking device remote control orders,...

Diagnosis 3 types of diagnosis data for improved operation: b network and machine diagnosis: tripping current, unbalance ratio, disturbance recording b switchgear diagnosis: cumulative breaking current, operating time b diagnosis of the protection unit and additional modules: continuous self-testing, watchdog.
Control and monitoring Circuit breaker program logic ready to use, requiring no auxiliary relays or additional wiring.

User Machine Interface
2 levels of User Machine Interface (UMI) are available according to the user's needs: b basic UMI: an economical solution for installations that do not require local operation (run via a remote monitoring and control system) b fixed or remote advanced UMI: a graphic LCD display and 9-key keypad are used to display the measurement and diagnosis values, alarm and operating messages and provide access to protection and parameter setting values, for installations that are operated locally.
Setting and operating software
The SFT2841 PC software tool gives access to all the Sepam functions, with all the facilities and convenience provided by a Windows type environment.

Disturbance recording

Operation
This function is used to record analog signal and logical states. Record storage is activated according to parameter setting by a triggering event (see Control and monitoring functions - Disturbance recording triggering). The stored event begins before the triggering event and continues afterwards. The record comprises the following information: b values sampled from the different signals b date b characteristics of the recorded channels. The files are recorded in FIFO (First In First Out) type shift storage: the oldest record is erased when a new record is triggered. Transfer Files may be transferred locally or remotely: b locally: using a PC which is connected to the pocket terminal connector and has the SFT2841 software tool b remotely: using a software tool specific to the remote monitoring and control system. Recovery The signals are recovered from a record by means of the SFT2826 software tool.

Thermal capacity used

Operation
The thermal capacity used is calculated by the thermal protection function. The thermal capacity used is related to the load. The thermal capacity used measurement is given as a percentage of the rated thermal capacity.

Saving of thermal capacity used
When the protection unit trips, the current thermal capacity used increased by 10 % (1) is saved. The saved value is reset to 0 when the thermal capacity used has decreased sufficiently for the start inhibit time delay to be zero. The saved value is used again after a Sepam power outage, making it possible to start over with the temperature buildup that caused the trip.
(1) The 10 % increase is used to take into account the average temperature buildup of motors when starting.

Starting current and starting / overload time

Operation

The starting time is defined as follows: b If the locked rotor/excessive starting time protection (ANSI code 48/51LR) is

active, the starting time is the time separating the moment when one of the 3 phase

currents exceeds Is and the moment when the 3 currents drop back below Is, Is being

the value of the current set point for protection function 48/51LR. The minimum value

of set point Is is 0.5 lb. b If the locked rotor/excessive starting time protection (ANSI code 48/51LR) is not

active, the starting time is the time separating the moment when one of the 3 phase currents exceeds 1.2 Ib and the moment when the 3 currents drop back below 1.2 Ib. The maximum phase current obtained during this time corresponds to the starting

Operation
This function is three-phase. It comprises two parts: b excessive starting time: during starting, the protection picks up when one of the 3 phase currents is greater than the set point Is for a longer period of time than the ST time delay (normal starting time) b locked rotor: v at the normal operating rate (after starting), the protection picks up when one of the 3 phase currents is greater than the set point Is for a longer period of time than the LT time delay of the definite time type v locked on start: large motors may have very long starting time, due to their inertia or the reduce voltage supply. This starting time is longer than the permissive rotor blocking time. To protect such a motor LTS timer initiate a trip if a start has been detected (I > Is) or if the motor speed is zero. For a normal start, the input I23 (zero-speed-switch) disable this protection. Motor re-acceleration When the motor re-accelerates, it consumes a current in the vicinity of the starting current (> Is) without the current first passing through a value less than 10 % of Ib. The ST time delay, which corresponds to the normal starting time, may be reinitialized by a logic data input for particular uses (input I22). b reinitialize the excessive starting time protection b set the locked rotor protection LT time delay to a low value.
Starting is detected when the current consumed is 10 % greater than the Ib current.

Description

For self-ventilated rotating machines, cooling is more effective when the machine is

This function is used to protect equipment (motors, transformers, generators, lines, capacitors) against overloads, based on measurement of the current consumed.
Operation curve The protection gives a trip order when the heat rise E, calculated according to the measurement of an equivalent current Ieq, is greater than the set point Es. The greatest permissible continuous current is I = Ib Es

running than when it is stopped. Running and stopping of the equipment are calculated from the value of the current: b running if I > 0.1 Ib b stopped if I < 0.1 Ib. Two time constants may be set: b T1: heat rise time constant: concerns equipment that is running b T2: cooling time constant: concerns equipment that is stopped.
Accounting for harmonics The current measured by the thermal protection is an RMS 3-phase current which takes into account harmonics up to number 17.

Alarm set point, tripping set point Two set points may be set for heat rise: b Es1: alarm b Es2: tripping.
"Hot state" set point When the function is used to protect a motor, this fixed set point is designed for detection of the hot state used by the number of starts function.
Heat rise and cooling time constants

Motor thermal protection is often set based on the hot and cold curves supplied by the machine manufacturer. To fully comply with these experimental curves, additional parameters must be set: b initial heat rise, Es0, is used to reduce the cold tripping time. modified cold curve: T-t-- = Ln ---l----l-l--e---l--eb-----qb-----q--------2--2--­--­---E-E---s--s--0-b a second group of parameters (time constants and set points) is used to take into account thermal withstand with locked rotors. This second set of parameters is taken into account when the current is greater than an adjustable set point Is.
Accounting for negative sequence current In the case of motors with coiled rotors, the presence of a negative sequence component increases the heat rise in the motor. The negative sequence component of the current is taken into account in the protection by the equation:

Saving of heat rise When the protection trips, the current heat rise, increased by 10 %, is saved (Increasing by 10 % makes it possible to take into account the average heat rise of motors when starting). The saved value is reset to zero when the heat rise decreases sufficiently for the time before starting to be zero. The saved value is used when the power returns after a Sepam power failure, so as to start up again with the heat rise that triggered tripping.

Example 1
The following data are available: b time constants for on operation T1 and off operation T2: v T1 = 25 min v T2 = 70 min b maximum curve in steady state: Imax/Ib = 1.05.
Setting of tripping set point Es2 Es2 = (Imax/Ib)2 = 110 %

For an overload of 2 Ib, the value t/T1 = 0.0339 (2) is obtained. In order for Sepam to trip at the point 1 (t = 70 s), T1 is equal to 2065 sec  34 min. With a setting of T1 = 34 min, the tripping time is obtained based on a cold state (point 2). In this case, it is equal to t/T1 = 0.3216  t  665 sec, i.e.  11 min, which is compatible with the thermal resistance of the motor when cold. The negative sequence factor is calculated using the equation defined on page 45. The parameters of the second thermal overload relay do not need to be set. They are not taken into account by default.

With t/T1 = 0.069 (I/Ib = 2 and Es2 = 120 %):  T1 = 100 s / 0.069 = 1449 sec  24 min. The tripping time starting from the cold state is equal to:

Setting of tripping set point Es2 Es2 = (Imax/Ib)2 = 110 %
Setting of alarm set point Es1: Es1 = 90 % (I/Ib = 0.95). The manufacturer's hot/cold curves (1) may be used to determine the heating time constant T1. The approach consists of placing the Sepam hot/cold curves below the motor curves.

t/T1 = 0.3567  t = 24 min 0.3567 = 513 s (point 2'). This tripping time is too long since the limit for this overload current is 400 s (point 2). If the time constant T1 is lowered, the thermal overload protection will trip earlier, below point 2. There risk that motor starting when hot will not be possible also exists in this case (see Figure 2 in which a lower Sepam hot curve would intersect the starting curve with U = 0.9 Un). The Es0 parameter is a setting that is used to solve these differences by lowering the Sepam cold curve without moving the hot curve.

Figure 1: motor thermal resistance and thermal overload tripping curves

In this example, the thermal overload protection should trip after 400 s starting from the cold state. The following equation is used to obtain the Es0 value:

By setting Es0 = 31 %, point 2' is moved downward to obtain a shorter tripping time that is compatible with the motor's thermal resistance when cold (see Figure 3).
Note: A setting Es0 = 100 % therefore means that the hot and cold curves are the same.

Use of the additional setting group When a motor rotor is locked or is turning very slowly, its thermal behavior is different from that with the rated load. In such conditions, the motor is damaged by overheating of the rotor or stator. For high power motors, rotor overheating is most often a limiting factor. The thermal overload parameters chosen for operation with a low overload are no longer valid. In order to protect the motor in this case, "excessive starting time" protection may be used. Nevertheless, motor manufacturers provide the thermal resistance curves when the rotor is locked, for different voltages at the time of starting.

In order to take these curves into account, the second thermal overload relay may be used. The time constant in this case is, in theory, the shortest one: however, it should not be determined in the same way as that of the first relay. The thermal overload protection switches between the first and second relay if the equivalent current Ieq exceeds the Is value (set point current).

The function takes into account current variations during the time delay interval. For currents with a very large amplitude, the protection function has a definite time characteristic: b If I > 20 Is, tripping time is the time that corresponds to 20 Is b If I > 40 In, tripping time is the time that corresponds to 40 In (In: rated current transformer current defined when entering the general settings).

Phase overcurrent Cold Load Pick-Up/Blocking CLPU 50/51

Description

Operation

The Cold Load Pick-Up I or CLPU 50/51 function avoids nuisance tripping of the phase overcurrent protection (ANSI 50/51), during energization after a long outage. Depending on the installation characteristics, these operations can actually generate transient inrush currents likely to exceed the protection set points. These transient currents may be due to: b the power transformer magnetizing currents b the motor starting currents b simultaneous resetting of all the loads in the installation (air conditioning, heating, etc.).

The CLPU 50/51 function starts if one of the following two conditions is fulfilled: b a phase current is detected after all the currents have disappeared for longer than the time before activation Tcold b input I22 has been activated, indicating a temporary overload due to starting of the load corresponding to the protected feeder, or a feeder downstream.
This detection results in either, depending on the parameter setting of Global action CLPU 50/51, for a predefined duration: b application of a configurable multiplying factor to set point Is of each ANSI 50/51 protection unit b or blocking of the various protection units

In principle, the protection settings should be defined

so as to avoid tripping due to these transient currents. Setting the CLPU 50/51 function parameters allows the user to:

However, if these settings result in inadequate

Breaker failure ANSI code 50BF
Operation
This function is designed to detect when a breaker fails, i.e. when it fails to open when a trip order is sent. The "breaker failure" function is activated: b by a trip order issued by the overcurrent protection functions (50/51, 50N/51N, 46) b by an external trip order sent by logic input I24 (I24 should be assigned to external trip function 5)
It checks that the current has disappeared within the time interval specified by time delay T. It can also take account of the position of the breaker read on the logic inputs to determine effective breaker opening.
When the circuit breaker control function is used, the breaker failure function is activated automatically by protection units 50/51, 50N/51N and 46, which trip the breaker. When the circuit breaker control function is not used, the user has the choice of overcurrent protection functions to associate with the breaker failure protection function.
The protection delayed output should be assigned to a logic output using the control matrix.
Launching and stopping the time delay counter T both depend on the presence of a current above the set point (I > Is) or, according to the parameter setting, on the absence of breaker opening.

The time delay for the breaker failure function is the sum of the following times: Rise time for the Sepam O1 output relay = 10 ms Circuit breaker opening time = 60 ms Overshoot time for the breaker failure function = 30 ms To avoid nuisance tripping by the upstream breakers, select a margin of approximately 20 ms. This gives a time delay of T = 120 ms.

Starts per hour ANSI code 66

Operation

This function is three-phase. It picks up when the number of starts reaches the following limits: b maximum number of starts allowed per period of time (P) (Nt) b maximum allowed number of consecutive hot starts (Nh) b maximum allowed number of consecutive cold starts (Nc). The function indicates: b the number of starts still allowed before the maximum, if the protection has not picked up. The number of starts depends on the motor's thermal state b waiting time before a start is allowed, if the protection has picked up. Starting is detected when the current consumed becomes greater than 10 % of the Ib current.

User information

The following information is available for the user: b the waiting time before a start is allowed b the number of starts still allowed.

3

See chapter "Machine operation assistance functions".

The number of consecutive starts is the number starts counted during the last P/Nt

minutes, Nt being the number of starts allowed per period.

The motor hot state corresponds to the overshooting of the fixed set point (50 % heat

rise) of the thermal overload function.

When the motor re-accelerates, it undergoes a stress similar to that of starting

without the current first passing through a value less than 10 % of Ib, in which case

the number of starts is not incremented.

It is possible however to increment the number of starts when a re-acceleration

occurs by a logic data input (input I22).

Definite time protection principle.

IDMT protection

3

The operation time depends on the protected value (phase current, earth fault current, etc.) in accordance with standards IEC 60255-3, BS 142 and IEEE C~37112.

Operation is represented by a characteristic curve, e.g.: b t = f(I) curve for the phase overcurrent function b t = f(I0) curve for the earth fault function.

The rest of the document is based on t = f(I); the reasoning may be extended to other

variables I0, etc.

The curve is defined by: b its type (standard inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, etc.) b current setting Is which corresponds to the vertical asymptote of the curve b time delay T which corresponds to the operation time for I = 10 Is.

These 3 settings are made chronologically in the following order: type, Is current,

time delay T.

Changing the time delay T setting by x % changes all of the operation times in the

curve by x %.

Setting of IDMT tripping curves, time delay T or TMS factor
The time delays of current IDMT tripping curves (except for customized and RI curves) may be set as follows: b time T, operating time at 10 x Is b TMS factor, factor shown as T/ in the equations on the left. Example: t(I) = -I---1-I-s----3--­-.--5-1-- × TMS where TMS = 1---T-.--5- . The IEC curve of the VIT type is positioned so as to be the same with TMS = 1 or T = 1.5 s.

Equation for IDMT timer hold curve Equation: tr(I) = 1-----­---T----1-I----I-s------2-- × T--- where T--- = TMS .

passes through point k (Ik, tk) is: T = tk/k.

Example Data: b type of time delay: standard inverse time (SIT) b set point: Is b a point k on the operation curve: k (3.5 Is; 4 s)
Question: What is the time delay T setting (operation time at 10 Is)? Reading the table: SIT column, line I/Is = 3.5 therefore K = 1.858 Answer: The time delay setting is T = 4/1.858 = 2.15 s

Problem 3. Given the Is current and time delay T settings for a type of time delay (standard inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse), find the operation time for a current value IA. On the standard curve of the same type, read the operation time tsA that corresponds to the relative current IA/Is and the operation time Ts10 that corresponds to the relative current I/Is = 10. The operation time tA for the current IA with the Is and T settings is tA = tsA x T/Ts10.

Example Data: b type of time delay: very inverse time (VIT) b set point: Is b time delay T = 0.8 s. Question: What is the operation time for the current IA = 6 Is? Reading the table: VIT column, line I/Is = 6, therefore k = 1.8

Control and monitoring functions

Description

Sepam performs the control and monitoring functions required for electrical network operation.

Predefined functions
The main control and monitoring functions are predefined and fit the most frequent cases of use. They are ready to use and are implemented by simple parameter setting after the necessary logic inputs / outputs are assigned. The predefined control and monitoring functions can be adapted for particular needs by customization of the control matrix using the SFT2841 software.

Control matrix
The control matrix is a simple way to assign data from: b protection functions b predefined control and monitoring functions b logic inputs to the following output data: b output relays b 9 LEDs on the front panel of Sepam b triggering of disturbance recording.

Operating principle

The processing of each control and monitoring function may be broken down into 3

phases:

b acquisition of input data:

4

v results of protection function processing v external logic data, connected to the logic inputs of an optional MES114 input / output module

v remote control orders (TC) received via the communication link

b actual processing of the control and monitoring function

b utilization of the processing results:

v activation of output relays to control an actuator

v information sent to the facility manager:

- by message and/or LED on the Sepam display and SFT2841 software

- by remote indication (TS) via the communication link.

DE51156

Logic inputs and outputs
The number of Sepam inputs / outputs must be adapted to fit the control and monitoring functions used. The 4 outputs included in the Sepam series 20 base unit may be extended by adding one MES114 modules with 10 logic inputs and 4 output relays. After selecting the MES114 type required by an application, the logic inputs must be
assigned to functions.

Pulse mode operation
b "on" pulse: used to create a short-duration pulse (1 cycle) each time a signal appears

Equation: S = X + Y + Z. b "AND"

b "off" pulse: used to create a short-duration pulse (1 cycle) each time a signal disappears.

DE50682

Equation: S = X x Y x Z.

b exclusive "XOR"

S = 1 if one and only one input is set to 1 (S = 1 if X + Y + Z = 1).
b Complement These functions may use the complement of one or more input values.

Note: the disappearance of a signal may be caused by an auxiliary power failure.
Bistable functions
Bistable functions may be used to store values.

DE50683

Equation: S = X (S = 1 if X = 0).
Delay timers
Two types of delay timers: b "on" delay timer: used to delay the appearance of a signal by a time T
Equation: B = S + R x B.

b "off" delay timer: used to delay the disappearance of a signal by a time T.

Control and monitoring functions

Assignment of logic inputs / outputs

The use of the preset control and monitoring functions requires exclusive parameter setting and particular wiring of the inputs according to their application and the type of Sepam. The advanced UMI or the SFT2841 software may be used to assign inputs and set the control and monitoring function parameters. Since an input may only be assigned to a single function, not all the functions are available at the same time. Example: if the logic discrimination function is used, the switching of groups of settings function may not be used.

Circuit breaker / contactor control ANSI code 94/69

Description
Sepam may be used to control breaking devices equipped with different types of closing and tripping coils. b circuit breaker with shunt trip or undervoltage tripping coil (parameter set on the front of the advanced UMI or in SFT2841) b latching contactor with shunt trip coil. Two breaking device control modes are available: b use of operating mechanism integrated in the circuit breaker / contactor This logical function processes all the circuit breaker closing and tripping conditions based on: v breaking device status information v remote control orders v protection functions v specific program logic for each application (e.g. recloser) v etc. This function also inhibits closing of the breaking device according to the operating conditions. b use of customized program logic A control and monitoring resource assignment matrix may be used to create customized program logic.

Operating mechanism integrated in the circuit breaker /

contactor
For operation in accordance with the block diagram, the Sepam must have the logic inputs required (an MES114 module must therefore be included) and the related

4

parameter setting and wiring must be done.

Remote control Circuit breaker/contactor tripping can be controlled remotely via the communication link using the following remote control orders: b TC1: Circuit breaker/contactor tripping b TC2: Circuit breaker/contactor closing b TC5: Sepam acknowledgment (reset) These orders can be globally inhibited by logic input I25. According to the parameter setting of logic input I25, the tripping remote control order TC1 can be activated at any time or it can be inhibited.

Circuit breaker / contactor control with lockout function (ANSI 86)
The ANSI 86 function traditionally performed by lockout relays may be carried out by Sepam using the predefined Circuit breaker / contactor control function, with latching of all tripping conditions (protection function outputs and logic inputs). With this function, Sepam performs the following: b grouping of all tripping conditions and breaking device control b latching of the tripping order with inhibition of closing until the cause of tripping disappears and is acknowledged by the user (see "Latching / acknowledgment") b indication of the cause of tripping: v locally by signal lamps ("Trip" and others) and by messages on the display v remotely by remote indications.

Monitoring Modbus S-LAN communication
Description
The Monitoring Modbus S-LAN communication function is used to trip the circuitbreaker in the event of loss of communication with the Modbus master. This function is inhibited by default. It is activated with remote control order TC15 and can be inhibited after activation with remote control order TC16. Activation of this function is saved on loss of the auxiliary power supply. Loss of communication with the Modbus master is detected by the Sepam unit when remote control order TC15 has not been rewritten by the Modbus master at the end of an adjustable time delay T. The value of time delay T is set by the Modbus communication to address 01F4. The setting range for the time delay is between 1 and 6553 s, in 0.1 s steps (default value 10 s).

Latching / acknowledgment
Description
The tripping outputs of all the protection functions and all the logic inputs may be latched individually. Logic outputs may not be latched. The logic outputs set up in pulse mode maintain pulse-type operation, even when linked to latched data. Latched data are saved in the event of a power failure. All latched data may be acknowledged locally on the UMI, or remotely by means of a logic input or via the communication link. The "Latching / acknowledgment" function associated with the "Circuit breaker / contactor control" function may be used to perform the ANSI 86 "lockout relay" function.

Logic discrimination ANSI code 68

Description
This function provides: b full tripping discrimination b a substantial reduction in delayed tripping of the circuit breakers located nearest the source (drawback of the classical time-based discrimination process). The system applies to the definite time (DT) and IDMT phase overcurrent and earth fault protection functions.

With this type of system, time delays are set in accordance with the device to be protected, without any concern for the discrimination aspect.

e.g.: Radial distribution with use of time-based discrimination (td: tripping time definite time curves).
td: Xs td: Xs

When a fault occurs in a radial network, the fault current flows through the circuit between the source and the location of the fault: b the protection units upstream from the fault are triggered b the protection units downstream from the fault are not triggered b only the first protection unit upstream from the fault should trip. Each Sepam is capable of sending and receiving blocking input orders except for motor Sepams (1) which can only send blocking input orders. When a Sepam is triggered by a fault current: b it sends a blocking input order to output O3 (2) b it trips the associated circuit breaker if it does not receive a blocking input order on the blocking input logic input (3). The sending of the blocking input lasts the time it takes to clear the fault. It is interrupted after a time delay that takes into account the breaking device operating time and protection unit reset time. This system minimizes the duration of the fault, optimizes discrimination and guarantees safety in downgraded situations (wiring or switchgear failure).

For a Sepam protection relay, operational reliability consists of ensuring the safety and availability of the installation. This means avoiding the following 2 situations: b Nuisance tripping of the protection
Continuity of the electrical power supply is as vital for a manufacturer as it is for an electricity distribution company. Nuisance tripping caused by the protection can result in considerable financial losses. This situation affects the availability of the installation. b Failure of the protection to trip
The consequences of a fault that is not eliminated can be catastrophic. For safety of operation, the protection relay must detect faults in the power supply as quickly as possible, using discrimination. This situation affects the safety of the installation.

Self-tests and monitoring functions

On initialization and cyclically during operation, Sepam runs a series of self-tests.

These self-tests are designed to detect any failure in its internal and external circuits

so as to ensure Sepam's reliability. These failures are classified into 2 categories,

major failures and minor failures: b A major failure reaches the hardware resources used by the protection functions

4

(program memory and analog input for example). This type of failure risks resulting in failure to trip on a fault or nuisance tripping. In

this case, Sepam must go into the fail-safe position as quickly as possible.

b A minor failure affects Sepam's peripheral functions (display, communication).

This type of failure does not prevent Sepam from protecting the installation and

providing continuity of service. Sepam then operates in downgraded mode.

The classification of failures into 2 categories improves both safety and availability of

the installation.

The possibility of a Sepam major failure must be taken into account when selecting the trip command type to maximize availability or safety of the installation (see "Selecting the trip command and examples of use" page 97).

In addition to the self-tests, the user can activate the trip circuit and closing circuit supervision function to improve the installation monitoring.
This function sends an alarm message to the Sepam display unit and a data item is automatically available to the communication to alert the user.

Fail-safe position
When Sepam is in working order, it runs self-tests continuously. Detection of a major failure places Sepam in the fail-safe position.
State of Sepam in the fail-safe position
b All the output relays are forced to the idle state b All protection functions are inhibited b The watchdog output indicates failure (output in the idle state) b A red LED on the Sepam front panel is on and a diagnostic message appears on the Sepam display unit (see "Indications" page 91).
How Sepam deals with failures
b Minor failure: Sepam switches to downgraded operation. The failure is indicated on the Sepam display unit and also by the communication. Sepam continues to protect the installation. b Major failure: Sepam switches to the fail-safe position and attempts a restart during which it again runs its self-tests. There are 2 possible scenarios: v The internal failure is still present. It is a permanent failure. Intervention on Sepam is required. Only removing the cause of the failure, followed by de-energizing and then energizing Sepam, will allow the unit to exit the fail-safe position. v The internal failure is no longer present. It is a transient failure. Sepam restarts so that it can continue to protect the installation. Sepam has been in the fail-safe position for 5 to 7 s.

Limiting the number of transient failure detections
Each time a transient internal failure appears, Sepam increments an internal counter. The fifth time the failure occurs, Sepam is placed in the fail-safe position. Deenergizing Sepam reinitializes the failure counter. This mechanism can be used to avoid keeping a Sepam running that is subject to repeated transient failures.

NOTICE
RISK OF UNPROTECTED INSTALLATION Always connect the watchdog output to a monitoring device when the selected trip command does not result in the installation tripping when Sepam fails.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Selecting the trip command and examples of use
An analysis of the operational reliability of the whole installation should determine whether availability or safety of this installation should be prioritized if Sepam is in the fail-safe position. This information is used to determine the choice of trip command as outlined in the table below.

Self-tests and fail-safe position

Using the watchdog
The watchdog is extremely important in the monitoring system, as it indicates to the user that the Sepam protection functions are working correctly. When Sepam detects an internal failure, a LED flashes automatically on the Sepam front panel regardless of whether the watchdog output is connected correctly. If the watchdog output is not correctly connected to the system, this LED is the only way of knowing that Sepam has failed. We therefore strongly recommend connecting the watchdog output at the highest level of the installation so that an effective alarm is generated when necessary. For example, an audible alarm or flashing alarm lamp can be used to warn the operator.

General
Modbus communication allows Sepam to be connected to a supervisor or any other device with a master Modbus communication channel. Sepam is always a slave station.
Sepam is connected to a Modbus communication network via a communication interface. There is a choice of two types of communication interface: b communication interfaces to connect Sepam to a single network: v ACE949-2, for connection to a 2-wire RS 485 network v ACE959, for connection to a 4-wire RS 485 network v ACE937, for connection to a fiber-optic star network. b communication interfaces to connect Sepam to two networks: v ACE969TP-2, for connection to: - one 2-wire RS 485 Modbus S-LAN supervision communication network - one 2-wire RS 485 E-LAN engineering communication network. v ACE969FO-2, for connection to: - one fiber-optic Modbus S-LAN supervision communication network - one 2-wire RS 485 E-LAN engineering communication network.

The Modbus protocol may be used to read or write one or more bits, one or more words, the contents of the event counters or the contents of the diagnosis counters.

PE80298

Protocol principle

master

Modbus functions supported
The Modbus protocol used by Sepam is a compatible sub-group of the RTU Modbus protocol. The functions listed below are handled by Sepam: b basic functions (data access): v function 1: reading of n output or internal bits v function 2: reading of n input bits v function 3: reading of n output or internal words v function 4: reading of n input words v function 5: writing of 1 bit v function 6: writing of 1 word v function 7: high-speed reading of 8 bits v function 8: reading of diagnosis counters v function 11: reading of Modbus event counters v function 15: writing of n bits v function 16: writing of n words. b communication-management functions: v function 8: Modbus diagnosis v function 11: reading of Modbus event counter v function 43: sub-function 14: reading of identification.

Exchanges are initiated by the master and include a request by the master and a reply by the slave (Sepam). Requests by the master are either addressed to a given Sepam identified by its number in the first byte of the request frame, or addressed to all the Sepam (broadcasting).

master

broadcasting

The following exception codes are supported:

b 1: unknown function code

b 2: incorrect address

b 3: incorrect data b 4: not ready (cannot process request) b 7: not acknowledged (remote reading and setting).

Response time
The communication coupler response time (Tr) is less than 15 ms, including a 3-character silence (approximately 3 ms at 9600 bauds). This time is given with the following parameters: b 9600 bauds b format: 8 bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit.
Synchronization of exchanges
Any character that is received after a silence of more than 3 characters is considered as the beginning of a frame. A silence of at least 3 characters must be left on the line between two frames. Example: at 9600 bauds, this time is equal to approximately 3 milliseconds.

It is not necessary to have a detailed knowledge of the protocol unless the master is a central computer which requires the corresponding programming. All Modbus exchanges include 2 messages: a request by the master and a reply by the Sepam. All the frames that are exchanged have the same structure. Each message or frame contains 4 types of data:

Modbus communication Commissioning and diagnosis

Installing the communication network
Preliminary study The communication network must first be the subject of a technical study to determine the following, according to the installation characteristics and constraints (geography, amount of information processed, etc.): b the type of medium (electrical or fiber optic) b the number of Sepam units per network b the transmission speed b the ACE interfaces configuration b the Sepam parameter settings.
Sepam user manual The communication interfaces must be installed and connected in accordance with the instructions in the Installation chapter of this manual.

Preliminary checks
The following preliminary checks must be made: b check the CCA612 cord connection between the ACE interface and the Sepam base unit b check the ACE Modbus communication port connection b check the complete configuration of the ACE b for the ACE969, check the auxiliary power supply connection.

Checking the operation of the ACE interface
You can use the following to check that an ACE interface is operating correctly: b the indicator LEDs on the front panel of the ACE b the information provided by the SFT2841 software connected to Sepam: v on the Diagnosis screen v on the Communication configuration screens.

Modbus communication Commissioning and diagnosis

Link activity LED
The ACE interface link activity LEDs are activated by variations in the signal on the Modbus network. When the supervisor communicates with Sepam (during transmission or reception), these LEDs flash. After wiring, check the information given by the link activity LEDs when the supervisor operates.
Note: Flashing indicates that there is traffic passing to or from Sepam; it does not mean that the exchanges are valid.
Functional test
If there is any doubt about correct operation of the link: b run read/write cycles in the test zone b use Modbus diagnosis function 8 (sub-code 0, echo mode). The Modbus frames below, transmitted or received by a supervisor, are an example of a test performed when communication is set up.

Modbus diagnosis counters
Counter definition Sepam manages the Modbus diagnosis counters. These are: b CPT1: Number of valid frames received, whether the slave is involved or not b CPT2: Number of frames received with a CRC error or physical error (frames with more than 255 bytes, frames received with at least one parity, overrun, framing or line-break error) In the 2-wire RS 485 mode, the counter must not be taken into account (meaningless). CPT3: Number of exception responses generated (even if not transmitted, due to receipt of a broadcast request) b CPT4: Number of frames specifically addressed to the station (excluding broadcasting) b CPT5: Number of valid broadcast frames received b CPT6: Not significant b CPT7: Not significant b CPT8: Number of frames received with at least one character having a physical error (parity, overrun, framing or line break) b CPT9: Number of valid requests received and correctly executed.

Counter reset The counters are reset to 0: b when they reach the maximum value FFFFh (65535) b when they are reset by a Modbus command (function 8) b when Sepam auxiliary power is lost b when communication parameters are modified.

Using the counters

Modbus diagnosis counters help to detect and resolve communication problems.

They can be accessed by the dedicated read functions (Modbus protocol functions

8 and 11).

CPT2 and CPT9 counters can be displayed on SFT2841

("Sepam Diagnosis" screen). An incorrect speed (or parity) increments CPT2.

5

Non-reception is signaled by the lack of change on CPT9.

Even in echo mode, Sepam recalculates and checks the CRC sent by the master: b If the CRC received is valid, Sepam replies b If the CRC received is invalid, Sepam does not reply.

Operating anomalies
It is advisable to connect the Sepam units to the Modbus network one by one. Make sure that the supervisor is sending frames to the relevant Sepam by checking the activity on the RS 232 - RS 485 converter or the fiber-optic converter if there is one, and on the ACE module.
RS 485 network b check the wiring on each ACE module b check the tightness of the screw terminals on each ACE module b check the connection of the CCA612 cord linking the ACE module to the Sepam base unit b check that polarization is only at one point and that impedance matching is at both ends of the RS 485 network b check the auxiliary power supply connection to the ACE969TP-2 b check that the ACE909-2 or ACE919 converter used is connected, powered and set up correctly.
Fiber-optic network b check the connections on the ACE module b check the connection of the CCA612 cord linking the ACE module to the Sepam base unit b check the auxiliary power supply connection to the ACE969FO-2 b check that the converter or fiber-optic star used is connected, powered and set up correctly b for a fiber-optic ring, check that the Modbus master can handle the echo of its requests correctly.
In all cases b check all the ACE configuration parameters on SFT2841 b check the CPT2 and CPT9 diagnostic counters on the SFT2841 ("Sepam Diagnosis" screen).

Format X: Sepam check-word This format applies only to the Sepam check-word that may be accessed at the word address 100h. This word contains various items of information relating to: b Sepam operating mode b time-tagging of events. Each data item contained in the Sepam check-word may be accessed bit by bit, from address 1000 for the bit b0 to 100F for the bit b15. b bit 15 event present b bit 14 Sepam in "data loss" status b bit 13 Sepam not synchronous b bit 12 Sepam time not correct b bit 11 S-LAN communication monitoring active b bit 10 Sepam in local setting mode b bit 9 major fault in Sepam b bit 8 partial fault in Sepam b bit 7 setting group A in service b bit 6 setting group B in service b bit 4 remote indication of tripping by protection function b bit 3-0 mapping number (1 to 16). Other bits reserved (undetermined values).
Status changes of bits 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 14 of this word trigger the transmission of a time-tagged event. Bits 3 to 0 encode a "mapping number" (from 1 to 15) which is used to identify the contents of the Modbus addresses, the assignment of which varies depending on the application.

Modbus communication Time-tagging of events

Presentation
The communication system time-tags the data prcessed by Sepam. The time-tagging function assigns a date and precise time to status changes so that they can be accurately classified with over time. Timetagged data are events that can be processed in the control room by the remote monitoring and control system using the communication protocol for data logging and chronological reports. Sepam time-tags the following data: b logic inputs b remote annunciation bits b information pertaining to Sepam equipment (see

Initialization of the time-tagging function Each time the communication system is initialized (energizing of Sepam), the events are generated in the following order: b appearance of "data loss" b appearance of "incorrect time" b appearance of "not synchronous" b disappearance of "data loss". The function is initialized with the current values of the remote annunciation and logic input status without creating any events related to these data. After the initialization phase, event detection is activated. It can only be interrupted by saturation of the internal event storage queue or by the presence of a major fault in Sepam.

Sepam check-word).

Date and time

Time-tagging is carried out systematically. Chronological sorting of the time-tagged events is performed by the remote monitoring and control system.

Presentation An absolute date and time are managed internally by Sepam, consisting of the information Year: Month: Day: Hour: minute: millisecond. The date and time format is standardized (ref: IEC 60870-5-4).

Time-tagging Sepam time-tagging uses absolute time (see section on date and time). When an event is detected, it is tagged with the absolute time given by Sepam's internal clock. All the Sepam internal clocks must be synchronized so as to avoid drifts and all be the same to allow interSepam chronological sorting. Sepam has two mechanisms for managing its internal clock: b time-setting: for initializing or modifying the absolute time. A special Modbus message, called "time message", is used to

Backup The Sepam internal clock is backed up for 24 hours. After a power outage lasting

longer than 24 hours, the time will need to be reset.

The duration of the Sepam date and time backup if the power supply fails depends

on the ambient temperature and age of the Sepam.

Typical backup periods: b at 25° v 24 hrs for 7 years v 18 hrs after 10 years v 14 hrs after 15 years

b at 40° v 24 hrs for 3 years v 16 hrs after 10 years v 10 hrs after 15 years

via a logic input with additional cabling. At the time of commissioning, the user sets the synchronization mode parameter.

Y - 1 byte for years: varies from 0 to 99 years. The remote monitoring and control system must ensure that the year 00 is greater than 99.

M - 1 byte for months: varies from 1 to 12.

D - 1 byte for days: varies from 1 to 31.

H - 1 byte for hours: varies from 0 to 23.

mn - 1 byte for minutes: varies from 0 to 59.

ms - 2 bytes for milliseconds: varies from 0 to 59999.

This information is encoded in binary form. Sepam is time-set via the "write word"

function (function 16) at the address 0002 with a mandatory 4-word time message.

The bits set to "0" in the description above correspond to format fields which are not

used and not generated by Sepam.

Since these bits can be transmitted to Sepam with random values, Sepam performs

the necessary disabling.

Sepam does not check the consistency or validity of the date and time received.

Synchronization clock
A synchronization clock is required for setting the date and time of Sepam. Schneider Electric has tested the following equipment: Gorgy Timing, ref. RT 300, equipped with the M540 module.

Modbus communication Time-tagging of events

Reading of events
Sepam provides the master or masters with two event tables. The master reads the event table and acknowledges by writing the exchange word. Sepam updates its event table.
The events sent by Sepam are not sorted chronologically.

Exchange word The exchange word is used to manage a special protocol to be sure not to lose events following a communication problem. The event table is numbered for this purpose. The exchange word includes two fields: b most significant byte = exchange number (8 bits): 0..255.
b15 b14 b13 b12 b11 b10 b09 b08

Structure of the first event table: b exchange word 0040h b event number 1 0041h ... 0048h b event number 2 0049h ... 0050h b event number 3 0051h ... 0058h b event number 4 0059h ... 0060h

Exchange number: 0 .. 255
Description of the MS byte of the exchange word.
The exchange number contains a numbering byte which identifies the exchanges. The exchange number is initialized to zero when Sepam is energized. When it reaches its maximum value (FFh), it automatically returns to 0. Sepam numbers the exchanges and the master acknowledges the numbering.

Structure of the second event table: b exchange word 0070h b event number 1 0071h ... 0078h b event number 2

b least significant byte = number of events (8 bits): 0..4
b07 b06 b05 b04 b03 b02 b01 b00

0079h ... 0080h b event number 3

Number of events: 0 .. 4

0081h ... 0088h b event number 4

Description of LS byte of the exchange word.

0089h ... 0090h

5

The master necessarily reads a block of 33 words starting at the address 0040h/0070h, or one word at the address 0040h/0070h.

Sepam indicates the number of significant events in the event table in the least significant byte of the exchange word. Each non-significant event word is initialized to zero.

Event table acknowledgment To inform Sepam that the block read by the master has been correctly received, the master writes the number of the last exchange made in the "Exchange number" field, and resets the "Number of events" field of the exchange word to zero. After acknowledgment, the 4 events in the event table are initialized to zero and the old, acknowledged events are erased in Sepam. Until the exchange word written by the master becomes "X,0" (with X = number of the previous exchange that the master wishes to acknowledge), the exchange word in the table remains at "X, number of previous events". Sepam only increments the exchange number when new events are present (X+1, number of new events). If the event table is empty, Sepam performs no processing operations when the master reads the event table or the exchange word. The data are encoded in binary form.

Clearing an event queue Writing a value "xxFFh" in the exchange word (any exchange number, event number = FFh) reinitializes the corresponding event queue (all stored events not yet transmitted are deleted).

Sepam in data loss (1) / no data loss (0) status Sepam has an internal storage queue with a capacity of 64 events. If the queue becomes saturated, a "data loss" event is inserted by Sepam when each event table is read. The detection of events stops and the most recent events are lost. Data loss is managed independently for each of the two event tables. When the tables are read at different rates, data loss may occur at different times for each table or even, in some cases, appear only on the slowest channel.

Note: the "data loss" bit of the Sepam check word corresponds to the status of the first reading table (compatibility with earlier versions).

Architecture for "internal synchronization" via the communication network.

Synchronization
Sepam accommodates two synchronization modes: b "internal via the network" synchronization mode by the broadcasting of a "time message" frame via the communication network. Slave number 0 is used for broadcasting b "external" synchronization mode via a logic input. The synchronization mode is selected at the time of commissioning via SFT2841.
Internal synchronization via the network mode The "time message" frame is used for both time-setting and synchronization of Sepam. In this case, it must be sent regularly at brief intervals (between 10 and 60 seconds) in order for synchronous time to be obtained. Sepam's internal clock is reset each time a new time frame is received, and synchronization is maintained if the difference in synchronism is less than 100 milliseconds. With internal synchronization via the network, accuracy is linked to the master and its mastery of time frame transmission in the communication network. Sepam is synchronized without delay at the end of the receipt of the frame. Time changes are made by sending a frame to Sepam with the new date and time. Sepam then switches into a transitional non-synchronous status. When Sepam is in synchronous status, if no "time message" is received for 200 seconds, the appearance of the "not synchronous" event is triggered.

Modbus communication Time-tagging of events

Synchronization (cont'd)

External synchronization via a logic input mode Sepam can be synchronized externally by means of a logic input (I21) (the MES114 module is required). The synchronisation pulse is determined by the rising edge of the logic input. Sepam can adapt to all synchronization pulse periods from 10 to 60 s, by 10 s steps. The shorter the synchronization period, the more accurate time-tagging of status changes is. The first time frame is used to initialize Sepam with the absolute date and time (the following frames are used for the detection of any time changes). The synchronization pulse is used to reset Sepam's internal clock. In the initialization phase, when Sepam is in "non-synchronous" mode, resetting is allowed, within an amplitude of ±4 seconds. In the initialization phase, the resetting process (switching of Sepam into "synchronous" mode) is based on a measurement of the difference between Sepam's current time and the nearest ten second period. This measurement is taken at the time of the receipt of the synchronization pulse following the initialization time frame. Resetting is allowed if the difference is less than or equal to 4 seconds, in which case Sepam switches to "synchronous" mode. As of that time (after the switching to "synchronous" mode), the resetting process is based on the measurement of a difference (between Sepam's current time and the nearest ten second period at the time of the receipt of a synchronization pulse), which is adapted to match the synchronization pulse period.

Architecture for "external synchronization" via a logic input.

The synchronization pulse period is determined automatically by Sepam when it is energized, based on the first two pulses received: the synchronization pulse must therefore be operational before Sepam is energized.

The synchronization function only operates after Sepam has been time-set, i.e.

after the disappearance of the "incorrect time" event.

Any time changes greater than ±4 seconds in amplitude are made by sending a new

time frame. The switch from summer time to winter time (and vice versa) is made in

this way as well. There is a temporary loss of synchronism when the time is changed.

5

The external synchronization mode requires additional equipment, a

"synchronization clock " to generate a precise periodic synchronization time pulse.

If Sepam is in "correct time and synchronous" status, and if the difference in

synchronism between the nearest ten second period and the receipt of the

synchronization pulse is greater than the synchronism error for 2 consecutive

synchronization pulses, it switches into non-synchronous status and generates the

appearance of a "not synchronous" event.

Likewise, if Sepam is in "correct time and synchronous" status, the failure to receive

a synchronization pulse for 200 seconds generates the appearance of a "not

synchronous" event.

Reading of remote settings (remote reading)

Settings accessible for remote reading Reading of the settings of all the protection functions may be accessed remotely.

Exchange principle Remote reading of settings takes place in two steps: b first of all, the master indicates the code of the function for which it wishes to know the settings by means of a "request frame". The request is acknowledged, in the Modbus sense of the term, to free the network b the master then reads a reply zone to find the required information by means of a "reply frame". Each function has its own particular reply zone contents. The time needed between the request and the reply is linked to Sepam's low priority cycle time and may vary by several tens to several hundreds of milliseconds.

Request frame The request is made by the master using a "write word" (function 6 or 16) operation at the address 2080h of a 1-word frame consisting of the following:

2080h

B15 B14 B13 B12 B11 B10 B09 B08 B07 B06 B05 B04 B03 B02 B01 B00

Function code

Relay number

The content of the address 2080h may be read using a Modbus "read word" (function 3). The function code field may have the following values: b 01h to 99h (BCD encoding) for protection functions. The relay number field is used as follows: b for protection, it indicates the relay involved, varying from 1 to N, N being the maximum number of relays available in the Sepam b when only one relay is available, this number field is not controlled.

Exception replies In addition to the usual cases, Sepam can send Modbus type 07 exception replies (not acknowledged) if another remote reading request is being processed.

Reply frame The reply, sent back by the Sepam, fits into a zone containing a maximum of 125 words at the address 2000h which is composed the following:

2000h/207Ch

This zone is read by a "read word" operation (function 3) at the address 2000h.

The length of the exchange may include: b the first word only (validity test) b the maximum size of the zone (125 mots) b the usable size of the zone (determined by the function being addressed).

However, reading must always begin at the first word in the zone (any other address

triggers an exception reply "incorrect address").

The first word in the zone (function code and relay number) may have the following

values: b xxyy: with v function code xx different from 00 and FFh v relay number yy different from FFh.

The settings are available and validated. They word is a copy of the "request frame".

The zone contents remain valid until the next request is made.

RISK OF UNINTENDED OPERATION b The device must only be configured and set by qualified personnel, using the results of the installation protection system study. b During commissioning of the installation and following any modification, check that the Sepam configuration and protection function settings are consistent with the results of this study.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Remote setting

Data that can be remotely set Writing of the settings of all the protection functions may be accessed remotely.

Exchange principle Remote setting is allowed for Sepam units. Remote setting is carried out for a given function, relay by relay. It takes place in two steps: b first of all, the master indicates the function code and relay number, followed by the values of all the settings in the a "write request frame". The request is acknowledged to free the network b the master then reads a reply zone to find the required information by means of a "reply frame", a reply zone designed for checking that the settings have been processed. Each function has its own particular reply zone contents. The contents are same as those of the reply frame. To use remote setting, it is necessary to make all the settings for the function concerned, even if some of them have not changed.

Request frame The request is made by the master using a "write n words" (function 16) operation at the address 2100h. The zone to be written contains a maximum of 123 words. It contains the values of all the settings. It consists of the following:

The relay number field is used as follows: b for protection, it indicates the relay involved, varying from 1 to N, N being the

maximum number of relays available in the Sepam. It may never be equal to 0.

Exception reply In addition to the usual cases, Sepam can send type 07 exception replies (not acknowledged) if: b another remote reading or setting request is being processed b the remote setting function is inhibited.

Modbus communication Disturbance recording

Presentation
The disturbance recording function is used to record analog and logical signals during a time interval. Sepam can store two records. Each record comprises two files: b configuration file with suffix .CFG b data file with suffix .DAT. The data of each record may be transferred via the Modbus link. It is possible to transfer 1 or 2 records to a remote monitoring and control system. The record may be transferred as many times as possible, until it is overwritten by a new record. If a record is made by Sepam while the oldest record is

Reading the identification zone Given the volume of data to be transmitted, the master must ensure that there are data to be recovered and prepare the exchanges when necessary. The identification zone, described below, is read by the reading of N words starting at the address 2204h: b 2 reserve words forced to 0 b size of record configuration files encoded in 1 word b size of record data files encoded in 1 words b number of records encoded in 1 word b date of record (most recent) encoded in 4 words (see format below) b date of record (least recent) encoded in 4 words (see format below) b 24 reserve words. All of these data are consecutive.

being transferred, the oldest record is altered. If a command (e.g. a remote reading or remote setting request) is carried out during the transfer of a disturbance recording record, the record is not disturbed.
Time-setting Each record can be dated. Time-setting of Sepam is described in the "Timetagging of events" section.

Reading the contents of the different files
Request frame The master makes the request by writing the date of the record to be transferred (function 16) in 4 words starting at the address 2200h. It should be noted that requesting a new record amounts to stopping the transfers which are in progress. This is not the case for an identification zone transfer request.

Reading should always begin with the first word in the address zone (any other address triggers an exception reply "incorrect address"). The configuration and data files are read in their entirety in Sepam. They are transferred adjacently.

132

CRED301005EN

Modbus communication Disturbance recording

If the master requests more exchanges than necessary, the exchange number

remains unchanged and the number of usable bytes is forced to 0. To guarantee the

data transfers, it is necessary to allow a response time of about 500 ms between

each reading operation at 2300h.

The first word transmitted is an exchange word. The exchange word comprises two

fields: b the most significant byte contains the exchange number. It is incremented by 1 by

the Sepam each time a successful transfer takes place. When it reaches the value

FFh, it automatically goes back to zero b the least significant byte contains the number of usable bytes in the data zone. It

is initialized to zero after energizing and must be different from FFh.

The exchange word may also have the following values: b xxyy: the number of usable bytes in the data zone yy must be different from FFh b 0000h: no "read requeste frame" has been formulated yet, as it is the case in

particular, when the Sepam is switched on. The other words are not significant, b FFFFh: the "request frame" has been processed, but the results in the reply zone

are not yet available.

It is necessary to repeat "reply frame" reading.

The other words are not significant.

The words which follow the exchange word make up the data zone.

Since the configuration and data files are adjacent, a frame may contain the end of

the configuration file and the beginning of the data file of a record.

It is up to the remote monitoring and control system software to reconstruct the files

in accordance with the transmitted number of usable bytes and the size of the files

indicated in the identification zone.

Acknowledging a transfer

To inform the Sepam that a record block that it has just read has been received

correctly, the master must write the number of the last exchange that it has carried

out in the "exchange number" filed and set the "number of usable bytes in the data

zone" of the exchange word to zero.

The Sepam only increments the exchange number if new acquisition bursts are

present. Rereading the identification zone

5

To ensure that the record has not been modified, during its transfer by a new record,

the master rereads the contents of the identification zone and ensures that the

recovered record date is still present.

b Assembly

taking any additional precautions.

b Connection of inputs, current, voltage and sensors b Connection of power supply b Checking prior to commissioning

Handling: Sepam can be handled without any particular care and can even withstand being dropped by a person standing at floor-level.
Storage: Sepam can be stored in its original packaging, in an appropriate location for several

years:

b Temperature between -25°C and +70°C (between -13°F and +158°F)

b Humidity y 90%.

Periodic, yearly checking of the environment and the packaging condition is

recommended.

Energize the Sepam for 1 hour:

b every 5 years for a storage temperature < 30 ° C (86 ° F)

b every 3 years for a storage temperature u 30 ° C (86 ° F)

b every 2 years for a storage temperature u 50 ° C (122 ° F)

Once Sepam has been unpacked, it should be energized as soon as possible.

If the storage time has been longer than 2 years, it is advisable to activate each

of the output relays 5 times during commissioning (see procedure in chapter

"Commissioning - Checking the connection of the logic outputs", page 298)

Sepam installed in a cubicle

Transport: Sepam can be transported by all usual means of transport in the customary conditions used for cubicles. Storage conditions should be taken into consideration for a long period of transport.

Handling: Should the Sepam fall out of a cubicle, check its condition by visual inspection and energizing.

Storage:

Keep the cubicle protection packing for as long as possible. Sepam, like all electronic

units, should not be stored in a damp environment for more than a month. Sepam

should be energized as quickly as possible. If this is not possible, the cubicle reheating system should be activated.

6

Environment of the installed Sepam
Operation in a damp environment The temperature/relative humidity factors must be compatible with the unit's environmental withstand characteristics. If the use conditions are outside the normal zone, special arrangements should be made before commissioning, such as air conditioning of the premises.
Operation in a polluted atmosphere A contaminated industrial atmosphere (such as the presence of chlorine, hydrofluoric acid, sulfur, solvents, etc.) can cause corrosion of the electronic components, in which case environmental control arrangements should be made (such as pressurized premises with filtered air, etc.) before commissioning. The effect of corrosion on Sepam has been tested according to the IEC 60068-2-60 and EIA 364-65A (See "Environmental Characteristic", page 18).

LPCT type current sensors

Function

Low Power Current Transducer (LPCT) type sensors are voltage-output sensors, which are compliant with the IEC 60044-8 standard. The Schneider Electric range of LPCTs includes the following sensors: CLP1, CLP2,

1

CLP3, TLP130, TLP160 and TLP190.

PE50031

DE51674

CLP1 LPCT sensor

CCA670/CCA671 connector

Function
The 3 LPCT sensors are connected to the CCA670 or CCA671 connector on the rear panel of Sepam. The connection of only one or two LPCT sensors is not allowed and causes Sepam to go into fail-safe position. The two CCA670 and CCA671 interface connectors serve the same purpose, the difference being the position of the LPCT sensor plugs: b CCA670: lateral plugs, for Sepam series 20 and Sepam series 40 b CCA671: radial plugs, for Easergy Sepam series 60 and series 80.

Description

1 3 RJ45 plugs to connect the LPCT sensors. 2 3 blocks of microswitches to set the CCA670/CCA671 to the rated phase current
value.

6

3 Microswitch setting/selected rated current equivalency table (2 In values per

position).

4 9-pin sub-D connector to connect test equipment (ACE917 for direct connector or

via CCA613).

NOTICE
HAZARD OF NON-OPERATION b Set the microswitches for the CCA670/ CCA671 connector before commissioning the device. b Check that only one microswitch is in position 1 for each block L1, L2, L3 and that no microswitch is in the center position. b Check that the microswitch settings on all 3 blocks are identical.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Rating of CCA670/CCA671 connectors
The CCA670/CCA671 connector must be rated according to the rated primary current In measured by the LPCT sensors. In is the current value that corresponds to the rated secondary current of 22.5 mV. The possible settings for In are (in A): 25, 50, 100, 125, 133, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 630, 666, 1000, 1600, 2000, 3150. The selected In value should be: b entered as a Sepam general setting b configured by microswitch on the CCA670/CCA671 connector.
Operating mode: 1. Use a screwdriver to remove the shield located in the "LPCT settings" zone; the shield protects 3 blocks of 8 microswitches marked L1, L2, L3. 2. On the L1 block, set the microswitch for the selected rated current to "1" (2 In values per microswitch). b The table of equivalencies between the microswitch settings and the selected rated current In is printed on the connector b Leave the 7 other microswitches set to "0".
3. Set the other 2 blocks of switches L2 and L3 to the same position as the L1 block and close the shield.

Function
The specifically designed CSH120, CSH200 and CSH300 core balance CTs are for direct residual current measurement. The only difference between them is the diameter. Due to their low voltage insulation, they can only be used on cables.
Note: b The CSH280 core balance CT available in the Motorpact offer is compatible with Sepam. b You must use an interface ACE990 with a core balance CT other than a CSH120, a CSH20 or a CSH300, even if this core balance CT has the same transformation ratio than a CSH120, a CSH200 or a CSH300.

Connection

Connection of core balance CT Only one core balance CT can be connected to the ACE990 interface. The secondary circuit of the MV core balance CT is connected to 2 of the 5 ACE990

1

interface input terminals. To define the 2 input terminals, it is necessary to know the

following: b Core balance CT ratio (1/n) b Core balance CT power b Close approximation of rated current In0

(In0 is a general setting in Sepam and defines the earth fault protection setting

range between 0.1 In0 and 15 In0).

The table below can be used to determine: b The 2 ACE990 input terminals to be connected to the MV core balance CT secondary b The type of residual current sensor to set b The exact value of the rated residual current In0 setting, given by the following formula: In0 = k x number of core balance CT turns with k the factor defined in the table below.

The core balance CT must be connected to the interface in the right direction for correct operation: the MV core balance CT secondary output terminal S1 must be connected to the terminal with the lowest index (Ex).

ACE909-2 RS 232/RS 485 converter

PE80317

Function
The ACE909-2 converter is used to connect a master/central computer equipped with a V24/RS 232 type serial port as a standard feature to stations connected to a 2-wire RS 485 network. Without requiring any flow control signals, after the parameters are set, the ACE909-2 converter performs conversion, network polarization and automatic dispatching of frames between the master and the stations by two-way simplex (half-duplex, single-pair) transmission. The ACE909-2 converter also provides a 12 V DC or 24 V DC supply for the distributed power supply of the Sepam ACE949-2, ACE959 or ACE969-2 interfaces. The communication settings should be the same as the Sepam and supervisor communication settings.

Sepam parameter and protection setting The parameter and protection setting of a Sepam using SFT2841 consists of preparing the Sepam file containing all the characteristics that are specific to the application, a file that is then downloaded into Sepam at the time of commissioning.

Precaution When a laptop is used, given the risks inherent in the accumulation of static electricity, the customary precaution consists of discharging in contact with an earthed metal frame before physically connecting the CCA783 cord.
Note: If you are unable to connect to Sepam, check that the SFT2841 software version used is actually compatible with your Sepam. (see "Compatibility of Sepam version/SFT2841 version" page 229).

NOTICE
HAZARD OF UNINTENDED OPERATION b The device must only be configured and set by qualified personnel, using the results of the installation protection system study. b During commissioning of the installation and after any modification, check that the Sepam configuration and protection function settings are consistent with the results of this study.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Plugging into Sepam b Plug the 9-pin connector (SUB-D type) into one of the PC communication ports. Configure the PC communication port via the "Communication port" function in the "Options" menu. b Plug the 6-pin connector (round minidin type) into the connector situated behind the blanking plate on the front panel of Sepam or the DSM303 module.

Direct serial link
The Sepam units are connected to an RS 485 (or fiber-optic) multidrop network. Depending on the serial link interfaces available on the PC, the PC itself will be connected either directly to the RS 485 network (or fiber-optic HUB), or via an RS 232/RS 485 converter (or fiber-optic converter).
The communication parameters to be defined are: b port: communication port used on the PC b speed: 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bauds b parity: None, Even or Odd b handshake: none, RTS or RTS-CTS b time-out: from 100 to 3000 ms b number of retries: from 1 to 3.

PE80423

Link via Ethernet TCP/IP
The Sepam units are connected to an RS 485 multidrop network over one or more Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP gateways (for example: EGX gateways or ECI850 servers that act as the Modbus TCP/IP gateway for the link with the SFT2841).

Use on an IEC 61850 network SFT2841 can be used on an IEC 61850 network. In this case, it can be used to define the IEC 61850 configuration of Sepams connected to this network. See the Sepam IEC 61850 Communication user's manual (reference SEPED306024EN) for more information.

Configuration window for the Ethernet TCP/IP communication network.

Configuration of the Modbus TCP/IP gateway See the setup manual for the gateway used. In general, the gateway should be assigned an IP address. The configuration parameters for the gateway's RS 485 interface must be defined in accordance with the Sepam communication interface configuration: b speed: 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bauds b character format: 8 data bits + 1 stop bit + parity (none, even, odd).

Configuration of communication on SFT2841 When configuring a Sepam network on SFT2841, the following communication
parameters must be defined: b Type of device: Modbus gateway, ECI850 or Sepam b IP address: IP address for the connected remote equipment b time-out: from 100 to 3000 ms. A time-out of between 800 ms and 1000 ms is sufficient in most installations. Communication via the TCP/IP gateway may, however, be slowed down if other applications want Modbus TCP/IP or IEC 61850 access at the same time. The time-out value should then be increased (2 to 3 seconds). b number of retries: from 1 to 3.

Note 1: SFT2841 uses the Modbus TCP/IP communication protocol.

Although communication is IP-based, use of SFT2841 is restricted to a local installation network

7

based on an Ethernet network (LAN ­ Local Area Network). The operation of SFT2841 over a WAN (Wide Area Network) cannot be guaranteed because of the presence of some routers or firewalls that may reject the Modbus protocol, causing

communication times that would be incompatible with Sepam.

Note 2: SFT2841 allows Sepam protection settings to be modified, and direct activation of the outputs. These operations, which could involve the operation of electrical equipment (opening and closing), and thus put the safety of people and installations at risk, are protected by the Sepam password. In addition to this protection, the E-LANs and S-LANs must be designed as private networks, protected from external actions by all suitable methods.

Configuration of a Sepam network

Configuration window for the communication network via telephone modem

Link via telephone modem
The Sepams are connected to an RS 485 multidrop network using an industrial STN modem. This modem is the "called modem". It must first be configured, either via AT commands from a PC using HyperTerminal or the configuration tool that may have been supplied with the modem, or by setting switches (see the modem manufacturer's manual).
The PC can use an internal or an external modem. This modem on the PC side is always the calling modem. It must be installed and configured in accordance with the Windows modem installation procedure.
Configuration of the calling modem in SFT2841
When configuring a Sepam network, SFT2841 displays the list of all the modems installed on the PC. The communication parameters to be defined are: b modem: select one of the modems listed by SFT2841 b telephone no.: no. of the remote modem to be called b speed: 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bauds b parity: none (not adjustable) b handshake: none, RTS or RTS-CTS b time-out: from 100 to 3000 ms. Communication via modem and telephone network is slowed considerably because of the transit time through the modems. A time-out of between 800 ms and 1000 ms is sufficient in most 38400 baud installations. In some cases, the poor quality of the telephone network may require a slower speed (9600 or 4800 bauds). The time-out value should then be increased (2 to 3 seconds). b number of retries: from 1 to 3.
Note: The speed and parity of the calling modem must be configured in Windows with the same values as for SFT2841.

Configuration of called modem
The modem on the Sepam side is the called modem. It must first be configured, either via AT commands from a PC using HyperTerminal or the configuration tool that may have been supplied with the modem, or by setting switches (see the modem manufacturer's manual).
Modem RS 485 interface In general, the configuration parameters for the modem's RS 485 interface must be defined in accordance with the Sepam communication interface configuration: b speed: 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bauds b character format: 8 data bits + 1 stop bit + parity (none, even, odd).
Telephone network interface Modern modems offer sophisticated features such as checking the quality of the telephone line, error correction and data compression. These options are not appropriate for communication between SFT2841 and Sepam, which is based on the Modbus RTU protocol. Their effect on communication performance may be the opposite of the expected result.

It is therefore highly advisable to: b Invalidate the error correction, data compression and telephone line quality monitoring options b Use the same end-to-end communication speed between: v the Sepam network and the called modem v the called modem (Sepam side) and the calling modem (PC side) v the PC and the calling modem (see recommended configurations table).

Industrial configuration profile The following table shows the main characteristics of the modem on the Sepam side. These characteristics match a configuration profile commonly known as an "industrial profile", as opposed to the configuration of modems used in offices.

Depending on the type of modem used, the configuration will either be via AT commands from a PC using HyperTerminal or the configuration tool that may have been supplied with the modem, or by setting switches (see the modem manufacturer's manual).

The Sepam units connected to the communication network are identified by either: b Their Modbus address b Their IP address b The IP address for their gateway and their Modbus address These addresses can be configured in either of the following ways: b Manually, one by one: v the "Add" button is used to define a new device v the "Edit" button is used to modify the Modbus address if necessary v the "Delete" button removes a device from the configuration b Or automatically for Modbus addresses, by running an automatic search of the Sepam units connected: v the "Automatic search"/"Stop search" button starts or interrupts the search v when SFT2841 recognizes a Sepam unit, its Modbus address and type are shown on screen v when a Modbus device other than Sepam responds to SFT2841, its Modbus address is displayed. The text "???" indicates that the device is not a Sepam.

The Sepam network configuration is saved in a file when the UMI window closes, by pressing the "OK" button.

Access to Sepam information
To establish communication between SFT2841 and a Sepam network, select the Sepam network configuration you want, select the device connected to the TCP/IP network and press "Connect". The Sepam network is displayed in the connection window. SFT2841 polls all the equipment defined in the selected configuration. Each Sepam queried is represented by an icon:

b

Sepam series 20 or Sepam series 40 actually connected to the network

b

Easergy Sepam series 60 or Sepam series 80 actually connected to the network

b

Sepam configured but not connected to the network

b Device other than Sepam connected to the network.

A summary report of each Sepam detected as present is also displayed: b Sepam Modbus address b Type of application and Sepam identification b Any alarms present b Any minor/major faults present.

To access parameters, settings and operation and maintenance information for a

particular Sepam, click on the icon for that Sepam. SFT2841 then establishes a

point-to-point connection with the selected Sepam.

Commissioning: principles and method

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, ELECTRIC ARC OR BURNS b Only qualified personnel should commission this equipment. Such work should be performed only after reading this entire set of instructions. b NEVER work alone. b Obey all existing safety instructions when commissioning and maintaining high-voltage equipment. b Beware of potential hazards and wear personal protective equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Protection relay testing
Protection relays are tested prior to commissioning, with the dual aim of maximizing availability and minimizing the risk of malfunction of the assembly being commissioned. The problem consists of defining the consistency of the appropriate tests, keeping in mind that the relay is always involved as the main link in the protection chain. Therefore, protection relays based on electromechanical and solid state technologies must be systematically submitted to detailed testing, not only to qualify relay commissioning, but also to check that they actually are in good operating order and have the required level of performance.
The Sepam concept makes it possible to do away with such testing. In effect: b The use of digital technology ensures the reproducibility of the stated performances b Each of the Sepam functions has undergone full factory qualification b An internal self-testing system provides continuous information on the state of the electronic components and the integrity of the functions (e.g. automatic tests diagnose the level of component polarization voltages, the continuity of the analog value acquisition chain, non-alteration of RAM memory, absence of settings outside the tolerance range) and thereby ensures a high level of availability.
Sepam is therefore ready to operate without requiring any additional qualification testing that concerns it directly.
Sepam commissioning tests
The preliminary Sepam commissioning tests can be limited to a commissioning check, i.e.: b Checking compliance with BOMs and hardware installation diagrams and rules during a preliminary general check b Checking compliance of the general settings and protection settings entered with the setting sheets b Checking current or voltage input connections by secondary injection tests b Checking logic input and output connections by simulation of input data and forcing of output status b Validating the complete protection chain b Checking the connection of the optional MET148-2 and MSA141 modules. The various checks are described further on.

General principles
b All the tests should be carried out with the MV cubicle completely isolated and the MV circuit breaker racked out (disconnected and open) b All the tests are to be performed under operating conditions. We strongly recommend that you do not modify, even temporarily, the wiring or the settings to facilitate testing..

b The SFT2841 parameter setting and operating software is the basic tool for all

Sepam users. It is especially useful during Sepam commissioning tests. The tests described in this document are systematically based on the use of that tool.

Method
For each Sepam: b Only carry out the checks suited to the hardware configuration and the functions activated b Use the test sheet provided to record the results of the commissioning tests.

Checking to be done prior to energizing
Apart from the mechanical state of the equipment, use the diagrams and BOMs provided by the contractor to check: b Identification of Sepam and accessories defined by the contractor b Correct earthing of Sepam (via terminal 17 of the 20-pin connector) b Conformity of Sepam auxiliary voltage (indicated on the label stuck to the right side of the base unit) with the auxiliary supply voltage of the switchboard (or cubicle) b Correct connection of the auxiliary voltage (terminal 1: AC or positive polarity; terminal 2: AC or negative polarity) b Presence of a residual current measurement core balance CT and/or additional modules connected to Sepam, when applicable b Presence of test terminal boxes upstream from the current inputs and voltage inputs b Conformity of connections between Sepam terminals and the test terminal boxes.
Connections
Check that the connections are tightened (with equipment not energized). The Sepam connectors must be correctly plugged in and locked.
Energizing
1. Switch on the auxiliary power supply. 2. Check that Sepam performs the following initialization sequence, which lasts approximately 6 seconds: b Green ON and red LEDs on b Red LED off b Pickup of "watchdog" contact.
The first screen displayed is the phase current or phase voltage metering screen according to the application.
Implementation of the SFT2841 software for PC
1. Start up the PC. 2. Connect the PC RS 232 serial port or the USB port to the communication port on the front panel of Sepam using the CCA783 or the CCA784 cord. 3. Start up the SFT2841 software, by clicking on the related icon. 4. Choose to connect to the Sepam to be checked.
Identification of Sepam
1. Note the Sepam serial number given on the label stuck to the right side of the base unit. 2. Note the Sepam type and software version using the SFT2841 software, "Sepam Diagnosis" screen.

Checking parameter and protection settings
Determination of parameter and protection settings
All of the Sepam parameter and protection settings are determined beforehand by the design department in charge of the application, and should be approved by the customer. It is presumed that the study has been carried out with all the attention necessary, or even consolidated by a network coordination study. All of the Sepam parameter and protection settings should be available at the time of commissioning: b in hard copy format (with the SFT2841 software, the parameter and protection setting file for a Sepam can be printed directly or exported to a text file for editing) b and, when applicable, in the format of a file to be downloaded into Sepam using the SFT2841 software.
Checking parameters and protection settings
Check to be made when the Sepam parameter and protection settings have not been entered or downloaded during commissioning testing, to confirm the conformity of the parameter and protection settings entered with the values determined during the study. The aim of this check is not to confirm the relevance of the parameter and protection settings. 1. Go through all the parameter and protection setting screens in the SFT2841 software, in the order proposed in guided mode. 2. For each screen, compare the values entered in the Sepam with the values recorded in the parameter and protection setting file. 3. Correct any parameter and protection settings that have not been entered correctly, proceeding as indicated in the "Use of the (SFT2841) software" section of this manual.
Conclusion
Once the checking has been done and proven to be conclusive, as of that phase, the parameter and protection settings should not be changed any further and are considered to be final. In order to be conclusive, the tests which follow must be performed with these parameter and settings. We strongly recommend that you do not modify, even temporarily, any of the existing values to facilitate testing.

b The 3 LPCT current sensors are connected via an RJ45 plug to the CCA670 connector which is to be mounted on the rear panel of Sepam, identified as B b The connection of only one or two LPCT sensors is not allowed and causes Sepam to go into the fail-safe position b The primary rated current In measured by the LPCT sensors is to be entered as a Sepam general setting and configured by microswitches on the CCA670 connector.

Procedure
The tests to be carried out to check phase current input connections are the same whether the phase currents are measured by CTs or by LPCT sensors. Only the Sepam current input connection procedure and current injection values change. To test current inputs connected to LPCT sensors with a standard injection box, the ACE917 injection adapter is required. The ACE917 adapter is inserted between: b The standard injection box b The LPCT test plug: v integrated in the Sepam CCA670 connector v or transferred by means of the CCA613 accessory. The ACE917 injection adapter should be set according to the currents selected on the CCA670 connector: the ACE917 setting should be equal to the number of the microswitch that is set to 1 on the CCA670. The injection value depends on the primary rated current selected on the CCA670 connector and entered in the Sepam general settings, i.e.: b 1 A for the following values (in Amps): 25, 50, 100, 133, 200, 320, 400, 630 b 5 A for the following values (in Amps): 125, 250, 500, 666, 1000, 1600, 2000, 3150.

Maintenance

Sepam has a large number of self-tests that are carried out in the base unit and in additional modules. The purpose of the self-tests is: b To detect failures that can lead to nuisance tripping or the failure to trip when a fault occurs b To put Sepam in the fail-safe position to avoid user errors b To notify the operator that a maintenance operation is required. The "Sepam Diagnosis" screen of the SFT2841 software provides access to data on the status of the base unit and optional modules.

Shutdown of the base unit in fail-safe position
The base unit goes into the fail-safe position in the following conditions: b Detection of an internal failure by the self-tests b Sensor interface connector missing (CCA630, CCA634, CCA670 or CCT640 according to the type of application) b No connection of one of the 3 LPCT sensors to the CCA670 (connectors L1, L2, L3) b MES module configured but missing. See "List of self-tests which place Sepam in the fail-safe position" page 95.

The fail-safe position is conveyed by:

b ON LED on

b

LED on the base unit steadily on

b O4 "watchdog" relay in fault position

b Output relays dropped out

b All protection units inhibited

b Display showing fault message

Downgraded operation
The base unit is in working order (all the protection functions activated are operational) and indicates that one of the optional modules such as DSM303, MET148-2 or MSA141 is faulty or else that a module is configured but not connected. See "List of self-tests which do not place Sepam in the fail-safe position" page 95.

According to the model, this operating mode is conveyed by:

b Sepam with integrated advanced UMI (UD base):

v ON LED on

v

LED on the base unit flashing, including when the display is out of order (off)

v

LED on the MET or MSA module faulty, steadily on.

The display shows a partial fault message and indicates the type of fault by a code:

v code 3: MET module unavailable

v code 4: MSA module unavailable.

b Sepam with remote advanced UMI, UX base + DSM303:

v ON LED on

NOTICE
HAZARD OF DAMAGE TO SEPAM b Do not open the Sepam base unit. b Do not attempt to repair any components in the Sepam range, either in the base unit or an accessory.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

RTD fault
Each temperature monitoring function, when activated, detects whether the temperature sensor associated with the MET148-2 module is short-circuited or disconnected. When this is the case, the alarm message "RTD FAULT" is generated. Since this alarm is common to all 8 functions, the identification of the faulty sensor or sensors is obtained by looking up the measured values: b Measurement displayed "****" if the sensor is short-circuited (T < -35°C or T < -31°F) b Measurement displayed "-****" if the sensor is disconnected (T > +205°C or T > +401°F).
Replacement and repair
When Sepam or a module is considered to be faulty, have it replaced by a new product or module, since the components cannot be repaired.

To display this screen on the Sepam UMI, press the key several times to bring up the SFT2841 compatible version screen. Check that the SFT2841 software version used is higher than or the same as that indicated on the Sepam screen. If the SFT2841 software version is lower than the minimum version compatible with the Sepam being used, the SFT2841 software cannot be connected to Sepam and the SFT2841 software displays the following error message: SFT2841 software version incompatible with the connected device.
Preventive maintenance
General The logic inputs and outputs and the analog inputs are the parts of Sepam least covered by the self-tests. (See "List of self-tests which place Sepam in the fail-safe position" page 95). They should be tested during a maintenance operation. The recommended interval between preventive maintenance operations is 5 years (1).
Maintenance tests To perform maintenance on Sepam, see section "Commissioning: principles and method" page 215. Carry out all the recommended commissioning tests according to the type of Sepam to be tested. First test all the logic inputs and outputs involved in tripping the circuit breaker. A test of the complete chain including the circuit breaker is also recommended.
(1) For more details about the maintenance period, see "Precautions" page 137.
