Chapter 2 General
Teleprotection Signalling Equipment TPS 64 is controlled by the Service Terminal, the use of which is described in the Operating Manual of Service Terminal TC 21700. By means of the Service Terminal, the basic settings of the equipment can be performed and stored into the permanent storage (replaces strapping), maintenance-related measures, e.g. loopback signals back to the equipment, can be taken, and identifications, statistics, etc. can be read from the equipment.

When the Service Terminal is switched on, it shifts into mode Use of equipment/ Select operation, which is the default setting. The main menu common to all equipment, offered by the Service Terminal, is displayed:
Select operation: 1 Fault display 2 Local alarm cancel 3 Reset local cancel 4 Identifications 5 Controls (temporary) 6 Settings (permanent) 7 Measurements 8 Statistics 9 Testing 10 User privileges 11 Miscellaneous
Fault display
The fault display indicates the fault status of the equipment. The fault data indicates:
D D D D
equipment ID (e.g. STATION_01 ABC) fault status (A, B, D, S or combination of these) supervision block indicating the part of the equipment being faulty fault type
The equipment ID is given by the operator in the Identifications menu.
Local alarm cancel
In case of fault, local alarm cancel disables rack alarms A and B. As a reminder of the local alarm cancel, a D-alarm is activated. Local alarm cancel on an equipment with fault status OK produces alarm B.

Controlling the TPS 64 System
Chapter 4 Controlling the TPS 64 System
4.1
General
The purpose of this chapter is to clarify how the operation of the TPS 64 is affected by the fact that it is not a stand-alone terminal but rather a system formed by two terminals connected by a 64 kbit/s signal. The baud rate in the serial link connecting the two ends is 1200 Bauds. Therefore, some time is required when menu texts are returned from the remote end terminal. The user can affect the appearance of the TPS 64 menus by means of several menu reminders which will be explained in the following item. This description is based on the assumption that the menu reminder related settings of both terminals coincide with the delivery settings. At the main menus 4...11 there is a selection 9 Remote end available by means of which the remote end TPS 64 terminal can be entered. For users familiar with Dynacard products it might be helpful to note that entering remote end in the TPS 64 corresponds to entering an interface unit of a Dynacard product. The following is an example of the main level menu Controls: containing selection 9 Remote end.
Controls: 0 Display 1 TPS 64 to normal state 2 64 kbit/s loopback 4 Forced indications 5 Forced alarm outputs 6 Secure state control 7 Command output locking 8 Transmitter locking 9 Remote end
The top level selections 1 Fault display, 2 Local alarm cancel and 3 Reset local cancel inherently differ from the other top level selections in that they do not return any menu but directly start an operation. Thus, there is no possibility to enter the
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
21
remote end. However, under the menu branch 9 Testing you can find three commands that can be used instead as described in chapter 5.9. When a user, having first made some of the selections 4...11, selects 9 Remote end, a similar menu is returned. However, the selection 9 Remote end is no more visible and a text, also called tag or reminder in this manual, is shown in the upper right corner (Remote end). It reminds the user that he/she has entered the remote-end terminal. All succeeding commands will now affect the remote-end terminal. For example, the previous Controls menu will look as follows when the remote end terminal has been entered:
Controls: (Remote end) 0 Display 1 TPS 64 to normal state 2 64 kbit/s loopback 4 Forced indications 5 Forced alarm outputs 6 Secure state control 7 Command output locking 8 Transmitter locking
If the user now tries to select 9 again, the following text is displayed:
Selecting remote end not allowed while in remote end
The reason for this message is quite apparent: The mentioned selection would connect the user back to the near-end TPS 64 terminal which was previously left by selecting 9.
4.2
Affecting the user interface

Because both TPS 64 terminals serve the same commands, the TPS 64 helps the user in being aware of to which one of the two terminals he/she is connected. The degree of this help can be affected by several reminders, which can be switched on or off in any combination. The appearance of the menus is determined by menu reminders which can be found under the item 6,1,9,3 (Settings, Service options, TPS 64-specific, Menu reminders). The appearance of answers is affected by answer reminders which can be found in the TPS 64-specific service options under sub-item 4 Answer reminders. How to affect the reminders with menu commands is explained in conjunction with other menu commands in the next chapter. The purpose of this chapter is to clarify the effect of the reminders on the user interface. Note that the word reminder is used here and elsewhere in this manual in two different meanings. Firstly, it refers to the reminding texts, also called tags, appearing on the Service Terminal (emulator) display; secondly, it refers to the internal on/off flags in the non-volatile memory of the TPS 64 that are affected by means of settings.
22
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
The possibility to affect the user interface is undoubtedly a great help in the operation of the TPS 64. However, the operating personnel might be confused if the TPS 64s that they operate do not have an identical user interface. To avoid this problem it is recommended that a standard practice in this issue be created before the commissioning of the first systems. It is especially important to have identical reminder settings in both terminals belonging to the same system. All display examples in this document are based on this assumption.
4.2.1
Menu reminders
The appearance of the menus is determined by three reminders, which can be displayed with command 6,1,9,3,0 Menu reminders: Display. The following sample display corresponds to the delivery settings:
Menu reminders: Equipment ID: Off Remote end: On Nearend: Off
If the reminders have the above values, the menus of the near-end and remote end equipment look like in the two examples presented in 4.1 General. When the equipment ID reminder has been switched on, the equipment identification string, i.e. the name of the equipment will be displayed above the menu text. If the user definable names of the two terminals of a TPS 64 system are TPS 64 MAXWELL and TPS 64 KIRCHOFF, and the Service Terminal (emulator) is connected to TPS 64 MAXWELL, the Settings menu returned by selection 6 will look like this:
TPS 64 MAXWELL Settings: 1 Service options 2 Equipment configuration 3 Timing mode 4 Transmitter settings 5 Receiver settings 6 Default settings 7 Confirm settings 8 Cancel settings 9 Remote end
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
23
Entering the remote end terminal by selecting item 9 Remote end returns the following display:
TPS 64 KIRCHOFF (Remote end) Settings: 1 Service options 2 Equipment configuration 3 Timing mode 4 Transmitter settings 5 Receiver settings 6 Default settings 7 Confirm settings 8 Cancel settings
In considering the practice to be adopted with respect to equipment ID reminder it should not be forgotten that several menus have been carefully designed to fit onto the four by twenty character display of the Service Terminal. If the equipment is mainly operated with a Service Terminal emulator, the use of equipment ID reminder can be strongly recommended.
Remote end reminder

The two remote end menus shown in the preceding text are based on the assumption that the remote end reminder has been switched on which is the delivery value of this flag. It is possible to switch this reminder off but the users are discouraged from doing so.
Near-end reminder
Switching near-end reminder on makes the (Near-end) tag visible on the near-end menus. On the one hand, this increases the amount of text to be displayed, on the other hand it creates some visual symmetry to the user interface.
4.2.2
Answer reminders
The answer reminders can be used to remind the user of which equipment returned the answer. The answers have been placed in two categories that can be affected separately. Simple, mostly one-line, messages belong to short answers. A typical example is the done text returned upon execution of a user-specified command that brings about some change in the equipment. The other group is formed by some more complex answers typically returned upon execution of a Display command. It should be noted that some of the answers returned by the TPS 64 do not contain any reminding text irrespective of the values of the reminders described here. A typical example of this is the System reserved message.
24
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
All answer reminders can be displayed with command 6,1,9,4,0 Settings: Service options: TPS 64 specific: Answer reminders: Display. At the moment of delivery these reminders have the values shown in the following display:
Answer reminders: Equipment ID: Off Remote end: On Nearend: Off Short answer On
When the reminders have the values shown above, executing the command 6,4,0 Settings: Transmitter settings: Display in the remote end equipment could return e.g. the following display:
Two channel groups (Remote end) Group Code 1...4 1 5...8 9
The answers returned by near-end commands do not contain any reminding text if the reminders have the delivery values.
Equipment ID reminder
If equipment ID reminder has been switched on, the name of the equipment will be displayed on the topmost line of some answers. Executing in the near-end equipment e.g. the previous transmitter settings display command could then return the following:
TPS 64 MAXWELL Two channel groups Group Code 1...4 1 5...8 9
It should be noted that many of the answers have been carefully designed to fit onto the four by twenty character display of the Service Terminal. The above display is an example that shows how one important line bleeds out of the Service Terminal display due the equipment ID reminder. Of course the lost line can be simply regained by typing <DOWN ARROW>.
Remote end reminder

Remote end reminder determines whether the (Remote end) tag will be displayed in conjunction with answers returned by remote end equipment. This is the only answer reminder being switched on at the moment of delivery. If it is also switched off, no reminding text of any kind will be displayed with the answers.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
25
Near-end reminder
If near-end reminder has been switched on, the (Near-end) tag will appear so that a visual symmetry with the corresponding answers returned by the remote end equipment results. For example:
TPS 64 MAXWELL (Nearend) Two channel groups Group Code 1...4 1 5...8 9
Short answer reminder

The short answer reminder determines whether the (Near-end)/(Remote end) tag will be added to the short answers. Note that the tag is only displayed if the corresponding remote end reminder or near-end reminder has also been switched on. For example:
done (Remote end)
Equipment ID is never displayed with short answers.

Two users trying to control the system

When the user connects a Service Terminal (emulator) to one of the two TPS 64 terminals belonging to the same system, i.e. being connected by a 64 kbit/s channel, he/she gets the right to control both terminals. If somebody else is now trying to get access to the remote end terminal by connecting a Service Terminal (emulator) to it, the later user can execute only the fault display command. If he tries to execute any other command, the following is displayed:
System reserved
If the later user is on site, he/she also can see that the green led of the control unit is lit to indicate that somebody is controlling the system. If the 64 kbit/s connection is now broken, the later user gets access to the TPS 64 terminal after a few seconds. The terminal will, however, remember that the primary right to give commands belongs to the first user. Therefore, if the 64 kbit/s connection is restored and the first user is still there, the later user will again get the System reserved message.
26
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
4.4
Disorders in remote end communication

If the 64 kbit/s connection between the two terminals is not in order, so that the near-end terminal knows that remote end commands cannot be executed, the following display is returned:
No connection to remote end Reason(s): Transmitter locked No incoming signal (AS)
As can be seen, the reason is also displayed. The notation (s) is used because there can be several simultaneous reasons, as in the sample display, that prevent the user from entering the remote end terminal. The notation (AS) indicates the status of the corresponding fault. If you do not know how to fix the problem, you can execute the command 9,8,1 Testing: Help displays: General. It will return a list of things that should be checked or even suggests some measures to be taken in order to regain the connection to the remote end. The possible reasons for the above display are: There is no incoming signal. The error rate of the incoming signal exceeds 1E-3. Frame alignment is lost due to very high error rate. There is no octet timing in the incoming signal, which might be due to wrong timing mode in the 64 kbit/s interface. The alarm indication signal AIS is received. The user has locked the transmitter or activated the secure state. Note, however, that the fault Invalid incoming signal does not prevent the execution of remote end commands. The reason for this is that this fault is related to the main function of the TPS 64 only and does not affect the operation of the auxiliary channel used for the communication between the control processors of the two terminals. Finally, if you are connected to a terminal which does not have any connection to the remote end terminal, it is possible that you obtain the following message:
No connection to remote end Reason(s): You are a secondary user
This can happen just upon the restoration of the the 64 kbit/s connection. Now, if there is a user at the other end, the next message will be System reserved. If there is nobody at the other end, the repeated execution of the command will give you access to the remote end. Although the previously described No connection to remote end message is certainly what the user most probably will encounter when the execution of a remote end command fails, there are two more possible cases which may occur if the incoming 64 kbit/s is in order at the moment the near-end terminal starts to send the command given by the user to the remote end terminal. If the 64 kbit/s signal is continuously broken in the other transmission direction or if the command is corrupted by an error burst, the following will be displayed:
Remote end equipment did not receive your command
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
27
If an error burst occurs when the near-end terminal is waiting for an answer from the remote end terminal or when it has started to receive an answer, the following will be displayed:
Communication disturbance
Note that in this case it is possible that a coincident error burst in the other transmission direction caused the remote end terminal not to receive the command which accordingly is not executed. In this case the previous display would, of course, be the correct answer but is inherently impossible to return because the near-end equipment does not know whether the remote end equipment did receive the command or not.

TPS 64 Equipment Menus
Chapter 5 TPS 64 Equipment Menus

Teleprotection Signalling Equipment TPS 64 is controlled via the service interface in the control unit CU 24201. If the equipment configuration includes two control units, they must both be controlled via their own service interfaces. The only TPS 64 internal communication between the two control units is an on/off motherboard signal that enables the appropriate alarm status to be determined in conjunction with incoming signal and control unit faults as explained in the part Functional description of this manual. Channel unit CU 24202 does not have a maintenance interface of its own. The fault data of the channel unit(s) can be read via control unit A.
5.1
Fault display
The control unit monitors, in addition to its own operation, the state of both channel units. These three units comprise a functional entity that is divided into three supervision blocks.
TPS 64 MAXWELL (AS) Control unit: D Loss of incoming signal TPS 64 MAXWELL is the name of the equipment, Control unit: is the name of the concerned supervision block. Loss of incoming signal is the fault that has been detected. The notation (AS) indicates the fault status of the equipment.
The information displayed by command 1 Fault display is based on the fault codes of the TMS system. The texts corresponding to each fault case have been stored into the memory of the Service Terminal and are therefore common to all types of equipment that can be controlled with the TMS. Due to this fact, the display obtained with command 1 Fault display does not describe the situation in an optimum manner in all fault cases. For user convenience there is an additional command 9,1 Fault display that essentially supplies the same information but with somewhat different terms. Most users will probably find the display returned by the latter command easier to understand. Additionally, the latter command can also be executed in the remote end equipment by typing 9,9,1 Testing: Remote end:
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
29
Fault display. This is, of course, possible only if the fault does not break the
64 kbit/s signal which is used to access the remote end terminal.
5.2
Local alarm cancel

In a fault situation, rack alarms A and B are removed by the command Local alarm cancel. As a reminder of the cancellation, alarm D is given. A local alarm cancellation when the equipment is OK produces a B-alarm. The local alarm cancel function replaces the conventional acknowledgement switch. This command can be executed in the remote end TPS 64 by selecting 9,9,2 Testing: Remote end: Local alarm cancel.
5.3
Reset local cancel

Giving the command Reset local cancel restores the normal alarm functions after the fault has been repaired. This function can be executed in the remote end equipment by selecting 9,9,3 Testing: Remote end: Reset local cancel.

64 kbit/s looping
Selection 5,2 returns the following menu:

64 kbit/s looping: 0 Display 1 To normal state 2 Loop to equipment
Selection 5,2,2 Loop to equipment reminds the user of the potential danger of unwanted commands that may be caused by looping the 64 kbit/s signal back to the equipment and requires the user either to confirm or to cancel the command.
WARNING! Looping may cause UNWANTED COMMANDS Cancel: <UP> Confirm: 147 <RET>
If both control units A and B have been inserted into the TPS 64 cartridge, loopback is not allowed. The following text will appear:
Looping is not allowed with two control units in the cartridge Remove other Control Unit
The reason for this is explained in the part Operation of this manual. To enable the loopback, one of the control units must be removed from the cartridge. Executing command 5,2,2 Loop to equipment in the remote end equipment would disconnect the the user from the remote end equipment. Therefore, the command is not executed and the text Looping is not allowed in remote end is returned. Loopback the 64 kbit/s signal back to the equipment is also forbidden if one or more of the following controls is active: Secure state, Command output locking and Transmitter locking. The texts returned are Looping is not allowed together with secure state, Looping is not allowed together with command output locking and Looping is not allowed together with transmitter locking, respectively. The three controls mentioned above are, of course, forbidden if the loopback is active. When the 64 kbit/s signal is looped the equipment starts to send the alarm indication signal AIS to the remote end equipment. Therefore, if the user tries to execute remote end commands when the loopback is active, the text No connection to remote end is returned. The purpose of the loopback facility is to enable the testing of those parts of the equipment that are not continuously monitored by the control processor. To diminish the danger of unwanted commands, the loopback is provided with a filtering that prevents short commands (in many applications the commands have a duration not exceeding a few hundred milliseconds ) from passing the looped equipment. Accordingly, the command input must be turned to the state command for at least one second to turn the corresponding command output to the state command.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
35
The initiation and the cancellation of the 64 kbit/s loop to equipment are registered because the loop prevents the normal operation of the teleprotection system. The command registration is not in use when the loopback is on. Accordingly, the test commands used to verify the operation cannot be found in the event register.
5,4
Forced indications
The controls under this function are time-controlled. They can be used e.g. to check that the control unit LED display is OK. The selection provides the following display:
Forced indications: 0 Display 1 Normal indic. 2 Forced red indic. 3 Forced yellow indic. 4 Forced no indic.
Selection 0 (5,4,0) displays the active forced controls of the control unit LED display. Selection 1 (5,4,1) removes the forced controls of the LEDs. The state of the display is determined by the fault conditions. Selection 2 (5,4,2) makes the red service LED blink. Activating this control causes a Forced indication alarm to be given. The alarm status is B. Selection 3 (5,4,3) makes the yellow service LED blink. When this control is active, it also causes a Forced indication alarm to be given. The alarm status is B. Selection 4 (5,4,4) turns off the LEDs (the green service LED is, however, on if the equipment is connected to the Service Terminal). The alarm Forced indication is given. In this case the alarm status is A.
5,5
Forced alarm outputs
The controls under this function are time-controlled. They can be used to check that the equipment rack alarm outputs, programmable alarm outputs and teleprotection alarm outputs are OK. The selection provides the display:
Forced alarm outputs: 1 To normal states 2 A-rack alarm 3 B-rack alarm 4 D-rack alarm 5 PA1-alarm 6 PA2-alarm 7 TPA1-alarm 8 TPA2-alarm
Selection 1 (5,3,1) resets all forced alarm output controls, in which case the state of the outputs is determined by the fault condition.
36
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
Selections 2...8 give the following menu:

Alarm output state: 0 Display 1 To normal state 2 Alarm 3 No alarm
In several applications, the teleprotection alarms TPA1 and TPA2 may cause a power system protection scheme reconfiguration. To avoid unintended operations, the user is reminded of this and prompted to confirm the command.
WARNING! This operation may cause power system protection scheme re-configuration Cancel: <UP> Confirm: 147 <RET>
When teleprotection alarms TPA1 and (in the case of eight command channels) TPA2 are forcibly-controlled it must be noted that the output cannot be forced to the alarm state if there is one control unit in the cartridge sending a no alarm signal to the channel unit concerned. In order to force the alarm output to the alarm state in the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment composed of two control units, the command 5,3,7/8 must be issued in both control units.
5,6
Secure state control
This control is used to ensure that nothing can be done that would result in an unwanted command at the command output of the near- or remote- end equipment. The control processor executes this command by locking the near-end command outputs and by forcing the outgoing 64 kbit/s to an all-ones string (AIS). In accordance with the nature of this control, its effect is permanent, i.e. it can be reset only by Service Terminal command (5,6,1) Controls: Secure state control: To normal state. The selection produces the following display:
Secure state control: 0 Display 1 To normal state 2 To secure state
Caution
The effect of secure state is control unit internal. This means that if the equipment configuration includes two control units, the teleprotection commands can pass in both transmission directions of the system even if one of the control units is in secure state because the redundant control unit is still in operation. This is explained in greater detail in the part Operation of this manual. To block the transmission of teleprotection commands, the command 5,6,2 To secure state must be executed in both control units belonging to the equipment. To diminish the danger of unwanted commands due to
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
37
misunderstandings, a text reminding of this feature will appear when command 5,6,2 To secure state is executed.
See WARNING in the manual! Cancel: <UP> Continue: 1 <RET>
Executing command 5,6,2 To secure state in the remote-end equipment would disconnect the the user from the remote end equipment. Therefore, the command is not executed and the text Secure state is not allowed in remote end is returned instead. Secure state and 64 kbit/s signal loopback are not allowed simultaneously. Therefore, the text Secure state is not allowed together with 64 kbit/s looping is returned if the user tries to activate the secure state when the 64 kbit/s signal is looped back to the equipment. When the equipment is in secure state, it sends an alarm indication signal AIS to the remote-end equipment. Therefore, if the user tries to execute remote-end commands when the equipment is in secure state, the text No connection to remote-end is returned. The execution of the command 5,6,2,1 To secure state and the cancellation of the secure state are registered into the event register. If teleprotection commands are supplied to the command inputs of an equipment that is in secure state, they are registered.
5,7
Command output locking
This control ensures that nothing can be done that would result in an unwanted command at the command output of the teleprotection equipment. This control is used instead of the secure state control when the user wants to ensure that no unwanted command can occur at the command output of the teleprotection equipment, but cannot lock the transmitter, because the access to the remote-end equipment must be retained. By executing this command also in the remote-end equipment, it is possible to block the transmission of teleprotection commands in both directions without losing the access to the remote-end equipment.
Command output locking: 0 Display 1 To normal state 2 Lock outputs
If the equipment has been forced to secure state by command (5,6,2) To secure state, the locking of the command outputs cannot be reset by command (5,7,1) To

38
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
Caution
The effect of command output locking is control unit internal. This means that if the equipment configuration includes two control units, the teleprotection commands can pass in both transmission directions of the system even if one of the control units is in state command outputs locked because the redundant control unit is still in operation. This is explained in greater detail in the parts Operation and Functional description of this manual. To block the transmission of teleprotection commands in the direction considered, the command 5,7,2 Lock outputs must be executed in both control units belonging to the equipment. To diminish the danger of unwanted commands due to misunderstandings, a text reminding of this will appear when command 5,7,2 Lock outputs is executed.
Command output locking and 64 kbit/s signal loopback are not allowed simultaneously. Therefore, the text Command output locking is not allowed together with 64 kbit/s looping is returned if the user tries to lock command outputs when the 64 kbit/s signal is looped back to the equipment. In contrast to the controls Secure state and Transmitter locking, this control is also allowed in the remote-end equipment. In fact, locking of the command outputs at both ends is recommended to make sure that no unwanted commands are produced. In doing so, the maintenance connection to both ends is retained and no teleprotection command can still pass through the system. The execution of the command 5,7,2,1 Lock outputs and the cancellation of the command output locking are registered into the event register. If teleprotection commands are received by an equipment when the command output locking is on, they are registered.
5,8
Transmitter locking
This control ensures that nothing can be done that would result in an unwanted command in the command output of the remote-end equipment. The control processor executes this command by forcing the outgoing 64 kbit/s to an all-ones string. This control is used instead of secure state control when the user wants to ensure that no unwanted command can occur at the command output of the remote-end equipment. In accordance with the nature of this control, its effect is permanent, i.e. it can be reset only by Service Terminal command (5,8,1) Transmitter locking: To normal state. The selection produces the following display:
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
39
Transmitter locking: 0 Display 1 To normal state 2 Lock transmitter
If the equipment has been forced to secure state by control (5,6,2) To secure state, the locking of the outgoing signal cannot be removed by command (5,8,1) To normal state. Caution The effect of command output locking is control unit internal. This means that if the equipment configuration includes two control units, the teleprotection commands can pass through the system in both transmission directions even if one of the control units is in state transmitter locked because the redundant control unit is still in operation. This is explained in greater detail in the parts Operation and Functional description of this manual. To block the transmission of teleprotection commands in the direction considered, the command 5,8,2 Lock transmitter must be executed in both control units belonging to the equipment. To diminish the danger of unwanted commands due to misunderstandings, a text reminding of this will appear when command 5,8,2 Lock transmitter is executed.
Executing the command 5,8,2 Lock transmitter in the remote-end equipment would disconnect the the user from the remote-end equipment. Therefore, the command is not executed and the text Transmitter locking is not allowed in remoteend is returned instead. Transmitter locking and 64 kbit/s signal loopback are not allowed simultaneously. Therefore, the text Transmitter locking is not allowed together with 64 kbit/s looping is returned if the user tries to lock the transmitter when the 64 kbit/s signal is looped back to the equipment. When the transmitter is locked, the equipment sends an alarm indication signal AIS to the remote-end equipment. Therefore, if the user tries to execute remoteend commands when the transmitter is locked, the text No connection to remoteend is returned. The execution of the command 5,8,2,1 Lock transmitter and the cancellation of the transmitter locking are registered into the event register. If teleprotection commands are supplied to the command inputs of an equipment when the transmitter locking is on, they are registered.

Settings
The settings determine the operation of the equipment. They are saved in an electrically erasable nonvolatile memory and will therefore remain unchanged when the battery voltage (power supply) is switched off. By command (6,6), the settings can be given default values. When the user starts to change the settings of the TPS 64, the changes do not affect the operation of the equipment right away. When changing the settings of the TPS 64, most of the changes must be confirmed with command (6,7) Confirm settings to make the new settings effective. This ensures that the operation of the equipment is always determined by a consistent group of settings. When the user confirms the settings in order to take them into use, the consistency of the new settings is checked. In case of any inconsistency, the user is alerted and the new settings are not taken into use. To understand the operation of the TPS 64, the user is encouraged to think of the settings facility in the internal terms of the equipment. In the memory of the TPS 64 there are two memory areas reserved for the settings. These areas might be called effective settings and editing settings. Under normal operation their contents are identical. When the user starts to change settings, the editing settings memory area is affected. The display commands used to view the settings always show the editing settings. The effective settings determine the operation of the TPS 64 at any time. Upon execution of the command 6,7 Confirm settings, the contents of the editing settings memory area is transferred into the effective settings memory area. Starting to change the settings activates the run diagnostic test alarm with fault status B. Running the diagnostic test with command (9,7) Diagnostic test will then display: Settings unfinished. This alarm is reset by taking the new settings into use with command (6,7) Confirm settings. Should it happen that the user does not want to take the new settings into use, the alarm can be reset with command (6,8) Cancel settings. The changes will then be lost and the display commands will again show the effective settings. What actually happens when command 6,8 Cancel settings is executed, is that the contents of effective settings is transferred into the editing settings.

Selection 2 (6,1,3,2 ) is used when rack alarms are to be totally prevented, e.g. during the installation stage. By selection 3 (6,1,3,3 ), urgent alarms (A) are changed into less urgent alarms (B). This can be used e.g. during the test operation stage of the equipment. The execution of command (6,6) Default settings does not affect the setting of the rack alarm functions. Delivery setting: Normal.

Rack alarm delay
Under this function, the time constant for rack alarm filtering is affected. The rack alarm turns active when the alarm condition has continued for a set time constant.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
43
The rack alarm is removed when normal condition has continued for the alarm concerned for the time set without a break. In a changing alarm condition, the reading of the time constant counter is always increased during an alarm and when the alarm is gone, the counter reading remains. If the normal condition continues for the set time constant, the counter is reset and time counting is restarted. Thus, the alarm turns active when it has lasted the time of a preset time constant, either without a break or with breaks.

Under this item the user can affect the behaviour of the teleprotection alarm output and the response of the TPS 64 to some fault conditions. The selection returns the following menu:
TPS 64 specific: 1 TPA filtering 2 Fault consequences 3 Menu reminders 4 Answer reminders
6,1,9,1
TPA filtering
By selecting (6,1,9,1 ) TPA filtering , the user can affect the filtering of the teleprotection alarm output. If the equipment has two channel units, i.e. both channel
46
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
groups are in use, the same filter affects both teleprotection alarm outputs. A detailed description of the filtering can be found in the part Functional description of this manual. Selection 1 displays the menu:
TPA filtering: 0 Display 1 Modify ondelay 2 Modify offdelay
By selection (6,1,9,1,0 ) Display the recent values of the filter s on-delay and offdelay can be viewed. Sample display:
Ondelay: 5 seconds Offdelay: 10 seconds
Selection (6,1,9,1,1 ) Modify on-delay gives the following display:

TPA ondelay ? 3...30 seconds
Now the user can give the desired delay within the specified limits 0...30 seconds. Selection 6,1,9,1,2 Modify off-delay gives a corresponding display prompting the user to give the off-delay:
TPA offdelay ? 3...30 seconds
The execution of command 6,7 Confirm settings is not required to change the TPA filtering delays. The execution of command 6,6 Default settings does not affect these two delays. Delivery setting for both delays: 5 seconds.

Fault consequences
By selecting 6,1,9,2 Fault consequences, the user can affect the consequence of some fault conditions. The selection returns the menu:
Fault consequences: 1 BER > 1E-3 2 Frame alignment lost 3 AIS
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
47
6,1,9,2,1
BER > 1E3 consequences
Selection 6,1,9,2,1 BER > 1E3 enables the user to determine what will happen if the error rate of the incoming 64 kbit/s signal exceeds 1E3. The selection returns the menu:
BER > 1E-3 consequences: 0 Display 1 Command outputs locked (fault status AS) 2 Command outputs not locked (fault status B)
Selection 0 displays the current mode of operation. Example:

Command outputs not locked
If the user selects 1, the command outputs will be locked at BER > 1E3. Because the teleprotection commands cannot be transmitted when the command outputs are locked, the status of the fault will be AS. If the user selects 2, the command outputs are not locked in case of BER > 1E3. Because the teleprotection commands can be transmitted at such a low error rate, the fault status will now be B. The fact that the main function of the TPS 64 is not affected by error rates lower than 1E3 is due to the error correction applied in reception. Therefore, when selecting this mode of operation, the user should ensure that the number of errors corrected at reception has the default value 5. If the receiver has been set to accept less than 5 errors, it would be inappropriate to use the alarm status B because the probability of missing commands could exceed the value being acceptable in the particular application. To change the consequence of the fault BER > 10E3, the execution of command 6,7 Confirm settings is not required. The execution of command (6,6) Default settings does not affect this setting. Delivery setting: 2 Command outputs not locked (fault status B).
6,1,9,2,2
Frame alignment lost consequences
Selection (6,1,9,2,2 ) Frame alignment lost enables the user to determine what happens if the error rate of the incoming 64 kbit/s signal is so high that the frame alignment is considered to be lost. The selection returns the menu:
Frame alignment lost consequences: 0 Display 1 Command outputs locked 2 Command outputs not locked
48
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2

Command outputs not locked
If the user selects 1, the command outputs will be locked when the frame alignment is lost. If the user selects 2, then the command outputs will not be locked in conjunction with the fault frame alignment lost. If the application is such that one or more of the command channels is continuously in state command, the user should be aware of one subtle detail explained in the part Operation of this manual. To change the fault consequence of the fault frame alignment lost, the execution of command 6,7 Confirm settings is not required. The execution of command (6,6) Default settings does not affect this setting. Delivery setting: 1 Command outputs locked.
6,1,9,2,3
AIS consequences
Selection (6,1,9,2,3 ) AIS enables the user to determine the fault status in case an alarm indication signal is received. The selection returns the menu:
AIS consequences: 0 Display 1 Fault status AS 2 Fault status BS

Fault status BS
If the user selects 1, the fault status will be AS if an alarm indication signal AIS is received. If the user selects 2, the fault status will be BS if an alarm indication signal AIS is received. To change the fault status, the execution of command 6,7 Confirm settings is not required. The execution of command (6,6) Default settings does not affect this setting. Delivery setting: 2 Fault status BS.

Answer reminders
By means of answer reminders the user can determine whether excessive guiding text is added to the answers returned by the TPS 64 or not. This facility is explained in full detail in chapter 4 CONTROLLING THE TPS 64 SYSTEM. The purpose of the following text is only to represent the menus and to explain how to switch the various reminders on and off. Selection 6,1,9,4 returns the following display:
Answer reminders: 0 Display 1 Equipment ID 2 remoteend 3 Nearend 4 Short answer

Equipment configuration
Equipment config.: 0 Display 1 Cartridge ID 2 Control unit location 3 Control unit B 4 Channel unit 2
Under this function, the control unit is given the equipment configuration of the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment, so that the monitoring of equipment status
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
51
can function properly in all situations. The possible equipment configurations of Teleprotection Signalling Equipment TPS 64 are described in part Operation of this operating handbook. By command (6,6) Default settings, the equipment configuration is set to correspond to the equipment configuration at the moment of the command execution. If there are no channel units in the cartridge, their number is set to one. When the customer receives the control unit, its equipment configuration settings correspond to an equipment comprising one control unit and one channel unit. Therefore, the need to change the settings under the item 6,2 typically arises when other equipment configurations have to be implemented. Even then, the user can first insert the desired additional units into the cartridge and then execute the command 6,6 Default settings. But do not forget that doing so will affect a major part of the settings of the TPS 64, not only the equipment configuration. By selection 0 (6,2,0), the equipment configuration is displayed. Note that the displayed configuration corresponds to the editing settings memory area and not to the effective settings, which differ from each other if the configuration has been changed since the command (6,7) Confirm settings was last executed. Example:
Equipment configuration: Cartridge: CF 24280 This control unit is in location: A Control unit B: Does not belong to configuration Channel unit 2: Does not belong to configuration

Control unit location
By this selection, the control unit is told whether it is in location A or B. Location A is the leftmost location when the cartridge is viewed from the front and location B is adjacent to location A. The selection gives the following display:
This control unit is inserted in: 0 Display 1 Location A 2 Location B
The selection made by the user is compared with the actual location of the unit. If they do not correspond to each other, the TPS 64 displays the fault message Wrong control unit location, and the settings remain unchanged. In other words, a contradiction between the actual unit location and this setting can only arise when the unit is transferred from location A to location B or conversely. Doing so typically causes several alarms. One them, installation error, is then due to wrong control unit location.
6,2,3
Control unit B
This function, which can be used only when control unit A settings are being performed, indicates whether another control unit B belongs to the equipment configuration. The selection gives the following display:
Control unit B: 0 Display 1 Belongs to config. 2 Does not belong to config.
6,2,4
Channel unit 2
Under this function, the control unit is told whether the equipment configuration also comprises channel unit 2, i.e. whether command channels 5...8 are also in use. Even if channel unit 2 is not in the cartridge, setting 1 Belongs to config. can be used. This causes, however, the alarm missing unit when the settings are later confirmed by command (6,7) Confirm settings.
Channel unit 2: 0 Display 1 Belongs to config. 2 Does not belong to config.

Timing mode
By this function, the timing mode of the 64 kbit/s interface can be selected.
Timing mode: 0 Display 1 Codirectional 2 Contradirectional
Do not change the timing mode while in the remote-end equipment! See item 6,9. It should be noted that there is no need to change the timing mode of the remoteend equipment because the 64 kbit/s connection must be in order for the execution of remote-end commands to be possible. The execution of command (6,6) Default settings does not affect the setting of timing mode. Delivery setting: Codirectional.
6,4
Transmitter settings
By the transmitter settings, the teleprotection code used by the transmitter is defined. If two channel groups corresponding to two channel units are used, both must be given their own teleprotection code number. Transmitter settings come into effect only when command (6,7) Confirm settings is given. Execution of this command includes the checking of the transmitter settings against receiver settings to ensure that both settings comply with each other. When the changes in settings are later confirmed, a change in the Tx direction teleprotection codes or in the number of channel groups causes alarm A in the remoteend equipment if the new settings do not correspond to the remote-end Rx direction settings. The alarm can be removed by changing the remote-end equipment Rx direction settings to correspond to the near-end equipment transmitter settings. Selection (6,4) provides the following display:
Transmitter settings: 0 Display 1 Teleprotection code 2 Number of channel groups
Selection 0 (6,4,0) displays the number of channel groups used by the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment and the identification numbers of the teleprotection codes used in these channel groups. Example:
Two channel groups Group Code 1...4 5 5...8 14
6,4,1
Setting of teleprotection codes
Under this function, the teleprotection code(s) used by the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment in the Tx direction is (are) selected. If only one channel group (channels 1...4) is used, one of the teleprotection codes 1...16 is selected. If two
54
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
channel groups are used, different teleprotection codes must be used to ensure that the receiver does not confuse the channel groups with each other. In channel group 1 (command channels 1...4) one of teleprotection codes 1...8 is selected and in channel group 2 (command channels 5...8) one of teleprotection codes 9...16 is selected. A selection deviating from this principle will later prevent the confirmation of the settings. In addition, it should be taken into account that different codes must be used in different transmission directions. Thus, if two channel groups are used, four different teleprotection codes must be used in the system. Deviation from this principle also prevents confirmation of changed settings. The selection provides the following display:
By selection 1 (6,4,1,1 ), the teleprotection code identification number used for encoding the states of command channels 1...4 (channel unit 1) can be set and by selection 2 (6,4,1,2 ), the teleprotection code number of command channels 5...8 (channel unit 2) can be set. Selection 1 provides the following display:
Com. chan. 1...4 Give teleprotection code: 1...8(16) Display with 0
In connection with this display, the teleprotection code identification number 1...8 (16) can be given. The maximum value is 8 if two channel groups will be used and 16 if only one channel group will be used. By selection 0, the setting made can be checked. It should be noted that selection 0 displays the code in effect only if the code number has not been changed since command (6,7) Confirm settings was executed. When command (6,6) Default settings has been given, the teleprotection code identification number in the Tx direction of channel group 1 (command channels 1...4) is set as 1 and the code number in the Tx direction of channel group 2 (command channels 5...8) is set as 9. When command (6,9,6) Default settings has been given in the remote-end equipment, the teleprotection codes mentioned above are set as Rx-direction codes.

Number of channel groups
Under this function, the number of channel groups in use is confirmed. If this setting does not correspond to the equipment configuration settings under item (6,2), the settings cannot be confirmed with command (6,7) Confirm settings. The message Wrong number of channel groups will be obtained. The selection provides the following display:
Number of channel groups: 0 Display 1 One group 2 Two groups
By selection 0 (6,4,2,0 ), the number of channel groups in use is displayed and by selections 1 (6,4,2,1 ) and 2 (6,4,2,2 ), the number of channel groups is set as desired. When command (6,6) Default settings is given, the number of channel groups is set to correspond to the number of installed channel units at the moment the command is executed. If the equipment comprises no channel units, the number of channel groups is set as one.
6,5
Receiver settings
By the receiver settings, the number of Rx direction channel groups and the teleprotection codes to be used are determined. In addition, they can be used to affect the operating mode of the command output controls and the number of bit errors per message accepted at the reception of the incoming 64 kbit/s signal. Here like elsewhere in this manual the expression to accept is used interchangeably with the expression to correct to indicate that received messages are considered valid even if they are corrupted by errors. When the changed settings are later confirmed, a change in the Rx direction teleprotection codes or in the number of channel groups causes the alarm run diagnostic test if the new teleprotection code identification numbers or the number of channel groups do not correspond to the incoming signal teleprotection code identification numbers and the number of channel groups. Executing the diagnostic test with command 9,7 gives a message Invalid incoming signal. If desired, the number of channel groups and the teleprotection code(s) detected in the incoming signal can be seen by executing the command 9,8 Display incoming signal. The alarm can be removed by changing the Tx direction settings of the remote-end equipment to correspond to the Rx direction settings of the near-end equipment or vice versa. Selection (6,5) provides the following display:
Receiver settings: 0 Display 1 Teleprotection code 2 Number of channel groups 3 Error correction 4 Command output control

Code setting
Under this function, the teleprotection code(s) used by the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment in the Rx direction is (are) selected. If only one channel group (channels 1...4) is used, one of teleprotection codes 1...16 is selected. If two channel groups are used, different teleprotection codes must be used to ensure that the receiver does not confuse the channel groups with each other. In channel group 1 (command channels 1...4), one of teleprotection codes 1...8 is selected and in channel group 2 (command channels 5...8), one of teleprotection codes 9...16 is selected. A selection deviating from this principle will later prevent the confirmation of the settings. In addition, it should be taken into account that different teleprotection codes must be used in different transmission directions. Thus, if two channel groups are used, four different teleprotection codes must be used in the system. Deviation from this principle also prevents confirmation of the changed settings. The selection provides the following display:
By selection 1 (6,5,1,1 ), the teleprotection code number used in the reception of command channels 1...4 (channel unit 1) can be set and by selection 2 (6,5,1,2 ), correspondingly, the teleprotection code number used in the reception of command channels 5...8 (channel unit 2) can be set. Selection 1 provides the following display:
Com. chan. 1...4 Give teleprotection code: 1...8(16) Display with 0
In connection with this display, the teleprotection code identification number 1...8(16) can be given. The maximum value is 8 if two channel groups will be used and 16 if only one channel group will be used. By selection 0, the setting made can be checked. It should be noted that selection 0 displays the code in effect only if the code number has not been changed since command (6,7) Confirm settings was executed.

When command (6,6) Default settings has been given, the teleprotection code identification number in the Rx direction of channel group 1 (command channels 1...4) is set as 2 and the code number in the Rx direction of channel group 2 (command channels 5...8) is set as 10. When command (6,9,6) Default settings has been given in the remote-end equipment, the teleprotection codes mentioned above are set as Tx-direction codes.
6,5,2
Number of channel groups
Under this function, the number of channel groups in use is specified. If this setting does not correspond to the equipment configuration settings under item (6,2), the settings cannot be confirmed with command (6,7) Confirm settings. The message Wrong number of channel groups will be obtained. The selection provides the following display:
Number of channel groups: 0 Display 1 One group 2 Two groups
By selection 0 (6,5,2,0 ), the number of channel groups in use is displayed and by selections 1 (6,4,2,1 ) and 2 (6,5,2,2 ), the number of channel groups is set as desired. When command (6,6) Default settings is given, the number of channel groups is set to correspond to the number of installed channel units at the moment the command is executed. If the equipment comprises no channel units, the number of channel groups is set as one.
6,5,3
Number of accepted errors
This function is used to determine how many errors are accepted in the received 64-bit message. If the number of errors in the teleprotection message (codeword), received by the receiver, exceeds the number given here, the message is considered non-acceptable. Selection (6,5,3) provides the following display:
Maximum number of errors corrected at reception: 0 Display 1 Default 5 2 Setting
By selection 0, the number of acceptable errors in the selected channel group is displayed. The displayed value corresponds to the acceptable number of errors in effect only if it has not been changed since command (6,7) Confirm settings was executed. By selection 1, the number of corrected (accepted) errors is set as the default value 5, which is also set by command (6,6) Default settings. This number of acceptable errors has been used as the basis for the definition of the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment performance characteristics.
58
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
By selection 2, the number of acceptable errors can be given a value between 0...7. Selection 2 provides the following display:
Give number: 0...7
Note
When the number of acceptable errors is given a value deviating from the default value, it should be especially noted that increasing this number results in a very considerable increase in the Probability of Unwanted Command, PUC. This issue is dealt with in greater detail in the Operation part of this Operating Handbook.
6,5,4
Command output controls
By this function, the operating mode of the command output controls, i.e. the way command outputs respond to incoming signal events, can be affected. These settings determine e.g. what happens if, in the middle of a command, a message is received which contains more than the accepted number of errors. The selectable operating modes of the command output controls are described in the Operation part of this Operating Handbook. Here, only the setting of the desired operating mode and control parameters by means of the Service Terminal is described. The setting modifications can be directed either to each command channel separately or to one channel group at a time. All eight possible command channels can also have the same operating mode for the command output controls, but the setting must be made one channel group at a time. Selection (6,5,4) provides the following display:
Command output control: 0 Display 1 Select channel 2 Select channel group
By selection 0 (6,5,4,0 ), the command output controls and parameter values of all command channels are displayed. The display corresponds to the settings in effect only if the control mode or parameters have not been changed since command (6,7) Confirm settings was executed. Example:
Cc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Cm 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 p *** 3 3 3 *** *** *** *** q *** 7 7 7 *** *** *** *** r 40 10 10 150 40 40 40 40
Note
All parameter values indicate time as multiples of the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment frame duration 1.25 ms. The duration corresponding to the parameter value is always obtained by multiplying the parameter value with the frame duration 1.25 ms.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2

TPS 64 Operation with Service Terminal The first column gives the number of the command channel (Cc), the second column gives the number of control mode (Cm). The following three columns give the parameter values p, q and r relating to the control mode selected. In the sample display, the control mode number of command channel 1 is 1. Since control mode 1 only has one parameter, the columns of parameters not used in control mode 1 contain three asterisks ***. The value of parameter r in command channel 1 is 40, which corresponds to the minimum duration of 50 ms. The command outputs of command channels 2 and 3 have the same control mode and all three parameters have the same values. Command channel 4 also uses control mode 2 but there parameter r has the value 150.
6,5,4,1/2
Selection of channel or channel group
By selection 1 (6,5,4,1 ), the number of the control mode used and its parameters can be set for one command channel at a time. The selection provides the following display:
Select channel 1...8
By selection 2 (6,5,4,2 ), the number of the control mode to be used and the parameters can be determined for all four command channels belonging to same channel group at a time, thus saving the user from the effort of changing each channel separately. Naturally, this command can be used only if all four channels will have identical control modes and parameters. This selection gives the following display:
6,5,4,1/2,1/2 Setting of control mode and parameters

Setting of parameters for control mode 1
When number 1 is selected in the previous display, control mode number 1 is selected and the following display is obtained for the setting of parameters relating to this control mode:
Control mode 1 parameters: 0 Display 1 Default 4 Set r
By selection 0, the command output control modes and parameters of all command channels are displayed with the same format as with command 6,5,4,0 which was explained before. The values in this display correspond to the settings in effect only if no changes have been made since command (6,7) Confirm settings was last executed. By selection 1, the parameter r can be given a value corresponding to the default value: r = 40, which corresponds to the command minimum duration 50 ms. By selection 4, the desired value can be given to parameter r. The selection provides the following display:
Give parameter value: 1...250
The parameter value is given as an integer, the maximum value being 250. The minimum value is 1. Giving a value outside of these limits produces the error message: illegal command.

Control mode 2 parameters: 0 Display 1 Default 2 Set p 3 Set q 4 Set r
By selection 0, the command output control modes and parameters of all command channels are displayed with the same format as with command 6,5,4,0 which was explained before. The values in this display correspond to the settings in effect only if no changes have been made since command (6,7) Confirm settings was last executed. By selection 1 all three parameters can be given the default values which are: p = 5, q = 5 and r = 40.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
61
By selections 2, 3 and 4 the parameters can be given values other than the default. All selections give the display:
Give parameter value: 1...250
The parameter value is given as an integer, the maximum value being 250. The minimum value is 1. Deviating from these limits produces the error message illegal command. No change in the editing settings occurs until some of the parameter values p, q or r have been changed. If control mode 1 is replaced by control mode 2, it is necessary to define a value for both the parameter p and the parameter q before the settings can be confirmed. This means that the user has to execute both the command 2 Set p and 3 Set q in order to enable the confirmation of the settings. Of course, the execution of command 1 Default alone is enough to make confirmation possible. If an undefined parameter is found when the settings are checked in conjunction with the execution of the command 6,7,147 Confirm settings, the parameters needing definition are displayed. If the settings unfinished alarm has not been initiated before, the execution of any of the parameter definition commands will do it. The selection of control mode that precedes the parameter definition does not cause any change in the editing settings, instead, the selected control mode is stored into the editing settings when the first parameter definition command is executed.
6,6
Default settings
Because the execution of default settings replaces a major part of the previous settings that may have required a great effort to edit, the unintentional execution of the command Default settings is prevented by the following display which requires the user to confirm the command:
Cancel: <UP> Confirm: 147<RET>
The command can now be cancelled by keying UP when working with the Service Terminal or with three back spaces BS BS BS RET when working with a Service Terminal Emulator. The default settings are taken into use immediately after the confirmation given here. The command 6,7 Confirm settings is not needed. By the default settings, the equipment is set into the following mode: 1. 2. All settings under item (6,1) Service options remain unchanged. The equipment configuration is set to correspond to the cards present in the cartridge at the execution moment of the command. If there are no channel units in the cartridge, their number is set as one. The timing mode of the 64 kbit/s interface is not affected.

The number of transmitter channel groups is set to correspond to the number of channel units in the cartridge. When the default settings are taken into use in the near-end equipment, the Tx direction teleprotection code of channel group 1...4 will be code number 1 and the teleprotection code of channel group 5...8 will be code number 9. When the default settings are taken into use in the remote-end equipment, the Tx direction teleprotection code of channel group 1...4 will be code number 2 and the teleprotection code of channel group 5...8 will be code number 10. The number of receiver channel groups is set to correspond to the number of channel units in the cartridge. When the default settings are taken into use in the near-end equipment, the Rx direction teleprotection code of channel group 1...4 will be code number 2 and the teleprotection code of channel group 5...8 will be code number 10. When the default settings are taken into use in the remote-end equipment, the Rx direction teleprotection code of channel group 1...4 will be code number 1 and the teleprotection code of channel group 5...8 will be code number 9. The receiver is set to accept messages corrupted by up to 5 errors. In all command channels, the command output control mode is set as 1 and the parameter of this control mode is given the value r = 40. Registration of events is not affected. The settings relating to registration can be found in connection with other registration functions under item (8,1,1). Summertime practice is not affected. This setting can be found under item (11,1) Real time clock.

The execution of the command 6,6,147 Default settings: Confirm is registered into the event register.
6,7
Confirm settings
The changes of the settings are not taken into use until they are confirmed with the command (6,7) Confirm settings. The TPS 64 was provided with this facility to enable the checking of the new settings before taking them into use, among other things. Note that the checking of the new settings is not possible before all changes have been made because during the changing work inconsistent settings combinations inevitably occur. The unintentional execution of this command has been prevented by asking the user to confirm the command itself. The following display will appear:
Cancel: <UP> Confirm: 147<RET>
The command can now be cancelled by keying UP when working with the Service Terminal or with three back spaces BS BS BS RET when working with a Service Terminal Emulator. When this command is executed, the new settings are checked before they are taken into use. If they are not consistent, they cant be taken into use. An error message will appear helping the user to locate the invalid setting. If the settings contain several inconsistencies, only the first one encountered is reported. Accordingly, when the problem has been fixed and the settings are confirmed again, a different error message may appear. The error messages are very selfexplanatory. Therefore, they are not explained here.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2

If the settings have not been edited since the previous execution of this command, it will not be executed. The user will get the the following message:
No change since pre vious confirmation
Note, however, that the execution of this command does not necessarily mean that the effective settings are changed. It is possible that the settings have been edited without actually changing them. The current editing settings are not compared with the effective settings when the decision is made to return the above message, it is the settings unfinished alarm that determines whether the effective settings are replaced with the editing settings or not. The execution of the command 6,7,147 Confirm settings: Confirm is registered into the event register.
6,8
Cancel settings
As soon as some of the settings requiring confirmation have been changed, the diagnostic alarm Settings unfinished will be initiated. The purpose of this alarm is to remind the user that the settings have been modified since the previous execution of the command 6,7 Confirm settings. The user might not want to take the modified settings into use. In this case the changes must be cancelled with the (6,8) Cancel settings. There are no other means to make the alarm Settings unfinished disappear. What actually happens when this command is executed is that the editing settings are overwritten with the contents of the effective settings. When this has been done, the settings displayed with various settings display commands again coincide with the actual state of the TPS 64.
6,9
Remote-end settings
See Chapter 4 CONTROLLING THE TPS 64 SYSTEM. When modifying the settings of the remote-end equipment, the timing mode of the 64 kbit/s should not be changed because the timing mode must be correct if the user has access to the remote-end equipment and changing the timing mode would thus disconnect the two TPS 64 terminals from each other. If the user tries to change the timing mode in the remote-end terminal, the command is not executed. The following message is returned instead:
Changing timing mode is not allowed at re mote end because it would break the 64 kbit/s signal (remoteend)
The user might find the location of the (Remote-end) tag somewhat unexpected. This is quite normal, however, and is due to the fact that this message belongs to the short answers.

Under this function, the registration of command events and battery voltage outages and the CPU-reset counter can be found. Deviating from the practice followed with other settings, the settings relating to registration are placed under this same item. These settings are taken into use immediately when modified. The execution of the command (6,7) Confirm settings is not required. Selection (8) Statistics provides the following display:

Registration settings
By this function, the operation of the registration can be affected. The selection provides the following display:
Registration settings: 0 Display 1 Both directions 2 Command outputs only 3 Command inputs only 4 No registration
By means of the registration settings only the registration of command events can be affected. Battery voltage breaks, counter resets and changes of time are always registered. By selection (8,1,1,1 ) Both directions, the registration is set to function so that the state changes of both command outputs and command inputs are registered.

TPS 64 Equipment Menus By selection (8,1,1,2 ) Command outputs only the TPS 64 is set to register the state changes at command outputs only. By selection (8,1,1,3 ) Command inputs only the TPS 64 is set to register the state changes at command inputs only. By selection (8,1,1,4 ) No registration the command registration is inhibited in both transmission directions. This mode of operation may be desirable e.g. in applications where commands are transmitted extremely frequently. This is possible for example in conjunction with experimental installations. The changes of the registration settings are taken into use immediately. They do not require the command (6,7) Confirm settings. Registration settings are not affected by command (6,6) Default settings. Delivery settings: Both.

Viewing of event register
By these selections, the event register can be viewed. By selection (8,1,3) Start viewing with newest event, the viewing of the event register is started from the newest event in the register. By selection (8,1,4) Start viewing with oldest event, viewing is started from the oldest event in the beginning of the register. Irrespective of the way the viewing is started, the viewing itself always takes place in the same way. Each of the selections described above first gives the viewing instructions display:
0 Begin Forward: n <RET> Backward: -n <RET> (n=1...999)
Viewing is started by writing 0 RET. Then the newest or the oldest event is displayed depending on the way viewing was earlier started. When viewing has been started, it is possible to move n events by specifying the jump length. This is done by writing n RET to move n events forward and by writing -n RET to move n events backward. Here n is an integer within the range n=1...999. If the specified jump length would lead beyond the beginning or the end of the register, the oldest or the newest event is displayed, respectively. The following is a sample display that is obtained if the viewing has been started by selection (8,1,3,0 ) Start viewing with newest event.
Event 173 (newest): Com out 134 nocom-> com Time: 17:35:03,567 Date: 06.07.93
Here, a state change has occurred simultaneously at the command outputs 1, 3 and 4 from the state no command into the state command. The topmost line shows that this is the newest event in the register. The time of occurrence is displayed with one ms resolution for command events. Other events are registered and displayed with a resolution of one second.
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
67
If the register contains a great number of events, it may be somewhat elaborate to find one particular event. Therefore the automatic command execution feature of the Service Terminal may be of great help when searching for an event. The automatic viewing from the newest event backwards is started by keying first TOP 8,1,3,0 RET and then 1 INV RET. The automatic viewing from the oldest event forward is correspondingly started by keying first TOP 8,1,4,0 RET and then 1 INV RET. Changing from manual to automatic viewing can, of course, be done anywhere in the register. In addition to state changes of command channels, the same register also displays the battery voltage outage and recovery, resetting of statistical counters and changes of time or date. These events are registered with a one second resolution. The first event in the register is always an entry that indicates the time and date of the register erasing:
Event 1 (only): Register erased Time: 16:30:12 Date: 19.11.92
The sample display above corresponds to the case where there are no other events in the register. When additional events have been stored, the topmost line will contain (oldest) instead of (only). When the user enters a new time using command (11,1,1,3 ) Set time, two events are entered into the register:
Event 14: Old time Time: 16:38:01 Date: 19.11.92
and
Event 15: New time Time: 16:38:17 Date: 19.11.92
When a new date is entered, a corresponding pair of events is stored. The event labels are then Old date instead of Old time and New date instead of New time.
68
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
If the EC summertime practice has been selected, the equipment will automatically change from summertime to wintertime and vice versa. The change from summertime to wintertime means that the time is decremented by one hour. The following pair of events is then stored into the register:
Event 26: Skip from summer to winter time Time: 03:00:00 Date: 27.09.92
and
Event 27: New time Time: 02:00:00 Date: 27.09.92
Now, if command events should occur during the two-hour time period from 02:00:00 summer time to 03:00:00 winter time, the events belonging to the first hour of this period can be distinguished from the events belonging to the second hour because they are separated by these two events. The corresponding events are also stored in conjunction with skipping from wintertime to summertime even if the problem described above is then not present. If the codeword counters are reset, the following register entry will be stored:
Event 112: Codeword counters reset Time: 13:08:14 Date: 19.11.92
The corresponding events are stored when the other statistical counters are reset. The event labels are then: Second counters reset and Octet dist counter reset. A battery voltage outage causes the following pair of events to be stored into the register:
Event 134: Battery voltage off Time: 16:38:01 Date: 19.11.92 Event 135: Battery voltage on Time: 16:40:17 Date: 19.11.92
If the moment of skipping from summertime to wintertime coincides with a battery voltage outage, it is done immediately after the battery voltage has been
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
69
restored. If the user changes time or date so that the border between summertime and wintertime is crossed, the equipment evaluates whether the new point of time belongs to summertime or to wintertime and sets an internal flag to match the result of the evaluation. The automatic skipping is ignored in this case. Some important Service Terminal commands executed by the user are also registered. This makes it possible to verify afterwards when the settings were changed or the main function of the TPS 64 was inhibited. The following is a list of these commands: S S S S S S S S S
6,6 Settings: Default settings 6,7 Settings: Confirm settings 5,2,2 Controls: 64 kbit/s looping: Loop to equipment 5,2,1 Controls: 64 kbit/s looping: To normal state 5,6,2 Controls: Secure state: To secure state 5,6,1 Controls: Secure state: To normal state 5,7,2 Controls: Command output locking: Lock outputs 5,7,1 Controls: Command output locking: To normal state 5,8,2 Controls: Transmitter locking: Lock transmitter
If the registration-related settings are changed, the change is registered. For example, if the old setting is Both and the user executes the command 8,1,1,2 Command outputs only, the following event is registered:
Event 137: Command input registration off Time: 17:33:14 Date: 20.11.92
8,1,6
Showing free space in register
By selection (8,1,6) Show free memory, a display is obtained that shows how much free space is available in the event register. The amount of free space is displayed as a number of command events and as a relative proportion of free space in the EEPROM reserved for the register.
Free memory: 379 Events of 380 99%
In the sample display the register is practically empty and contains only one event which indicates the time and date of the register erasure.

The first line indicates the number of correct codewords received since equipment reset or since the counters were reset with command (8,5,1) Reset counters. The second line indicates the number of received codewords in which the number of errors was equal to 1, the third line indicates the number of received codewords in which the number of errors was EQual to 2 and so on.

Fault display
By executing the command 9,1 Fault display all faults of the TPS 64 are displayed. This command can always be used instead of command 1 Fault display. There are three major differences between the two commands: 1) Command 9,1 can also be executed in the remote-end equipment by first entering the remote end, that is, by giving command 9,9,1 Fault display. 2) Command 9,1 also displays diagnostic faults. 3) Command 9,1 specifies all faults exactly without making any reference to the supervision blocks of the TPS 64. The last difference between the two fault display commands is due to the fact that command 1 Fault display is based on the general fault messages being stored in the memory of the Service Terminal whereas all the information displayed by 9,1 Fault display comes from the TPS 64 itself and has accordingly been selected to describe the fault situations in an optimum manner. The following two examples clarify the above mentioned difference in the case where channel unit 1 has been removed from the cartridge of the TPS 64. The fault display obtained with command 1 Fault display would then be as follows:
* MAXWELL (AS) Channel unit 1: missing unit
In this display the text Channel unit 1: indicates the name of the supervision block coming from the TPS 64 and the text missing unit indicates the fault. The fault text has been pre-programmed in the memory of the Service Terminal which only gets a short fault code from the TPS 64. By means of this fault code, the Service terminal can select the text to be displayed. Note that in some cases the fault texts pre-programmed in the memory of Service Terminal differ from those being stored in the memory of the Transmission Maintenance Computer TMC. The concerned fault is an example of this. The fault text displayed by the TMC is Subrack is missing units. Unfortunately this would essentially diminish the logical coherence of the above message, making it difficult to understand. This problem can be avoided by using command 9,1 instead of command 1.
74
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
In this same case, the display obtained with command 9,1 Fault display would be the following:
KIRCHOFF (Remote end) General faults: Channel unit 1 is missing (AS) No diagnostic faults
Here KIRCHOFF is, of course, the user-defined name of the equipment. In contrast to the overall principle of this manual, this sample display has been represented assuming that the answer reminder Equipment ID reminder has been switched on, a setting that does not correspond to the delivery setting of this reminder. The reason for this is to make the difference between the two commands as apparent as possible. As can be seen, the fact that it is channel unit 1 which is missing is now conveyed by the fault text itself and no reference to the supervision block is needed. Finally an example that shows one difference between the two fault displays: Command 9,1 Fault display displays all faults of the TPS 64 including the diagnostic faults which are not displayed by command 1 Fault display. This sample display is what the user typically might encounter in conjunction with the commissioning of the equipment.
KIRCHOFF (Remote end) General faults: Channel unit 1 is missing (AS) Current diagnostic faults: Set date and time (B)
The term general faults is used to denote the other fault category, i.e. the faults that are not diagnostic faults. As can be seen, the fault status is now itemized. This is in contrast to the command 1 Fault display which, by displaying for example (AB), only tells that there is at least one fault with status A and at least one fault with status B. The reason for the diagnostic fault shown in the above sample display is normally that the rechargeable battery of the control unit realtime clock has been discharged during the transport and the time and date of the clock are no more valid. The problem is fixed by setting the date and time by means of the appropriate menu commands which can be found under menu item 11. Note that in contrast to command 9,7 Diagnostic test the above command shows the current diagnostic faults only. The meaning of current in this context is explained in conjunction with the description of the command 9,7 Diagnostic test.

Diagnostic test
The diagnostic test is used to display the actual cause of a run diagnostic test alarm. This command displays, in addition to the active i.e. current diagnostic faults, the diagnostic faults which are no longer active but have not been displayed with this command since they disappeared. For example:
Old diagnostic faults: Invalid incoming signal Current diagnostic faults: Settings unfinished
The old diagnostic faults are, however, displayed only once. An immediate reexecution of the command 9,7 Diagnostic test would return the following display:
Current diagnostic faults: Settings unfinished
As noted before, the command 9,1 Fault display only shows the current diagnostic faults. Its execution does not cancel the old diagnostic faults as the command 9,7 Diagnostic test does.
76
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
9,8
Help displays
Help displays: 1 General 2 Diagnostic 3 Incoming signal
The selection 9,8 Testing: Help displays returns the following menu
The purpose of the help displays is to supply the user with information that helps to restore normal operation. Accordingly, if no alarms are active, i.e. the fault status of the equipment is OK, these commands do not return any actual information but only remind the user that no help is needed.
9,8,1
General help
The command 9,8,1 Testing: Help displays: General shall be used if one of the general alarms is active. If for example channel unit 1 is missing and no other general faults are active, the following is displayed:
General help: Channel unit 1 is missing (AS) Insert channel unit 1
In this simple case the user is just reminded that the only way to make the alarm disappear is to insert the missing channel unit 1 into the cartridge. Other possibilities do not exist because channel unit 1 belongs to any possible equipment configuration. As can be seen, the display consists of the alarm text followed by an indented help item. The help displays also show the alarm status, in this case AS, of each alarm. The second example of the general help display corresponds to the case where following alarms are active: Run diagnostic test (B), No incoming signal (AS) and Channel unit 2 is missing. The following display is then obtained upon execution of 9,8,1 Testing: Help displays: General
General help: Run diagnostic test (B) Execute 9,8,2 Diagostic help No incoming 64 kbit/s signal (AS) Plug in 64 kbit/s cable connector Check TPS 64 and DIU timing mode Is the incoming signal an allzeros sequence ? Check cable wiring More help: 1 <RET>

77
TPS 64 Operation with Service Terminal The first fault item Run diagnostic test (B) contains only one help item Execute 9,8,2 diagnostic help reminding the user of the fact that there is a separate diagnostic help available for the diagnostic faults. The second fault item is related to the fault No incoming 64 kbit/s signal (AS) containing several help items. Here as well as elsewhere in the help facility of the TPS 64, the help items, i.e. the suggested measures and check prompts, are listed in the order that corresponds to the presumed frequency of occurrence of the different cases. That is, the most probable case typically precedes the less probable case in the list. Note, however, that the effort required to take the suggested measure was considered as a factor that lowered its precedence when the order of the help items was considered. This means that measures which do not require a great effort typically appear before the more elaborate ones. The above sample display reveals one more subtle detail of the TPS 64 help facility. The last line of the display reads More help: 1 RET. This means that the help text was so long that it could not be returned in one transfer and there is more guiding text available. The user has now one minute to re-execute the command 9,8,1 Testing: Help displays: General if wishing to obtain the remaining help information. If the command is not repeated within one minute, a time-out occurs and the next execution of the command will start the display from the beginning.
9,8,2
Diagnostic help
The command 9,8,2 Testing: Help displays: Diagnostic is intended to be used if a diagnostic alarm is active. For example, if the only active diagnostic fault is Settings unfinished, the following is displayed:
Diagnostic help: Settings unfinished (B) Execute 6,7 Confirm settings or Execute 6,8 Cancel settings or Execute 6,6 Default settings
Note that the two uppermost help items end with the word or. This is due to the fact that the suggested commands are alternative so that executing any one of them is enough to make the alarm disappear. This example reveals one more principle that has affected the precedence of the various help items. An item that most probably corresponds to what the user is attempting to do typically precedes an item that can be considered a secondary solution to the present problem. For example, the command 6,7 Confirm settings is needed at any time the settings related to the main function are changed. The last help item of the above list can even be considered dangerous because the unintentional execution of the command 6,6 Default settings can be very harmful and should therefore be done after a careful consideration only.
9,8,3
Incoming signal help
If the run diagnostic test alarm proves to be caused by the fault Invalid incoming signal, the command 9,8,3 Testing: Help displays: Incoming signal should be executed. The alarm Invalid incoming signal indicates that the TPS 64 receiver is receiving a signal that has been transmitted by a TPS 64 transmitter but the number of channel groups or the teleprotection code(s) used do not match the receiver settings. By executing command 9,8,3 Testing: Help displays: Incoming signal, the
78
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
number of channel groups and the teleprotection code(s) found in the incoming signal can be seen:
Invalid incoming signal: Two channel groups Group Code 1...4 4 5...8 10 Receiver settings: Two channel groups Group Code 1...4 5 5...8 9
The display indicates that the incoming signal has two channel groups. The teleprotection code in channel group 1 conveying command channels 1...4 is 4 and in the channel group 2 the code is 10. The display also shows the current receiver settings. The user has now two alternative ways to fix the problem: either by changing the receiver settings or by changing the remote-end transmitter settings so that they match each other. If the settings unfinished alarm is active, the receiver settings do not appear in this display. This is because the receiver settings display which is used here always displays the edit settings. It is now possible that user has changed the receiver settings and the above display would then be somewhat misleading. The reason for this apparent drawback is software technical. Note that the first part of the display obtained with this command is identical with the display that results if command 6,9,4,0 displaying the remote-end transmitter settings is executed. However, if the transmission is broken in another direction, the command 9,8,3 Testing: Help displays: Incoming signal can still be used. If the concerned command is executed when the diagnostic fault Invalid incoming signal is not active, the current state of the incoming signal is displayed instead. For example, if no faults related to the incoming signal are active, the following is obtained:
Incoming signal ok

Remote end testing
Although the command 1 Fault display cannot be executed in the remote- end equipment, the command 9,9,1 Testing: Remote end: Fault display is available instead. Correspondingly, the commands 2 Local alarm cancel and 3 Reset local cancel can be replaced with identical commands that can be found under menu branch 9. See also Chapter 4 CONTROLLING THE TPS 64 SYSTEM.

5.10 User privileges

This function contains the data protection features of the equipment. If the reply missing rights is obtained when protected functions are used, the password must be known or local pin grounding (PIN) must be used to obtain the privileges.
User privileges: 1 Password for privileges 2 PIN for privileges 3 Cancel privileges 4 Setting parameters 9 Remote end
10,1
Password for privileges
By selection 1 (10,1), a text asking for the password is obtained:

Give password: 1...7 char.
Entering the correct password here gives the user the right to execute protected functions for a time determined by the time-out of the protections. If the password entered here does not match the one that has previously been set, the following message will appear:
Incorrect password
The user can now try again. When the correct password has been entered, the following message is obtained:
Correct password Privileges granted for 10 minutes
The displayed time corresponds to the value of the privilege timeout previously set by the user.
10,2
PIN for privileges
By selection 2 (10,2), the following is obtained:

Ground local PIN
This mode can be used even if the password protection is in use and the password has been forgotten.
10,3
Cancel privileges
By selection 3 (10,3), the privileges are cancelled. Otherwise, privileges are valid for a time determined by the time-out of the protections.

Setting parameters
By selection 4 (10,4), a menu for setting the protection- associated parameters is obtained:
Setting parameters: 1 Time-out 2 Protections 3 Password
10,4,1
Time-out
The privileges obtained by a password or by the PIN signal are valid for a time determined by the time-out of the protections. By selection 1 (10,4,1), a text guiding the setting of the time-out is obtained:
Time-out: 0 Display 1...1000 min.
10,4,2
Protections
By selection 2 (10,4,2), a menu guiding the setting of the protection mode is obtained:
Protections: 0 Display 1 No protection 2 Password required 3 Local PIN required
Selection 1 (10,4,2,1 ) removes the protections, in which case no password or PIN signal is required for controls or settings. Selection 2 (10,4,2,2 ) Password required means that the next time the equipment is used, the password must be known or the PIN signal must be used if settings are to be changed or controls to be made (functions under protection). This selection assumes that a password has been given to the equipment. Selection 3 (10,4,2,3 ) Local PIN required means that protected functions can be performed only by connecting the PIN pin to ground.
10,4,3
Password
The new password is given by selecting item 3 (10,4,3) from the parameter setting menu, in which case a text guiding the entering of the new password is obtained:
Give password: 1...7 char.

5.11 Miscellaneous
This item covers the functions relating to the control of the Teleprotection Signalling Equipment real time clock.
Miscellaneous: 1 Real time clock 9 Remote end
11,1
Real time clock
By selection 1 (11,1) Real time clock, the following is displayed:

Real time clock: 0 Display 1 Set time 2 Set date 3 Summertime practice 4 Skip to summertime 5 Skip to wintertime
By selection 0 (11,1,0), the time and date are displayed. Example:

Time: 19:45:05 Date: 27.03.90
Due to the delay characteristic in the operation of the Service Terminal, the displayed time may differ from the actual time of the real time clock. The error due to the display delay does not exceed 2 seconds. When this command is given by the TMC service terminal emulator, the deviation may, depending on the amount of equipment connected to the service bus and on the bus rate, exceed the value mentioned above.
11,1,1
Setting of time
The selection (11,1,1) Set time returns a display which includes the facilities needed for the time setting of the real time clock:
Time setting: 0 Display time 1 Start LED indication 2 Stop LED indication 3 Set time
11,1,1,1/2
Start/Stop LED indication
By command 1 (11,1,1,1 ) Start LED indication, Teleprotection Signalling Equipment TPS 64 can be forced into a state where the red LED of the control unit flashes every time a full 10-second period has elapsed. The LED turns on when the second changes and off after a few tenths of a second. In this operating mode,
82
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
which does not affect the other operation of the equipment, the realtime clock can be compared with the actual time with an accuracy exceeding the accuracy achievable with the Service Terminal. To prevent erroneous conclusions, however, one must make sure that the real time clock does not deviate from actual time by more than two seconds. This arrangement ensures that the LED flashes are compared with the actual changing point of tens of seconds and a 10 s error can be avoided. The LED indication can be cancelled by command (11,1,1,2 ) Stop LED indication. If this command is not given, the operation returns to normal by itself after the time-out for controls has elapsed.
11,1,1,3
Set time
Selection 3 (11,1,1,3 ) Set time gives the following display prompting for the time entry:
Give time in format hh-mm-ss hh=00...23
Hours, minutes and seconds are given as integers separated by a hyphen () with integers smaller than 10 always preceded by a zero. Sample reply: 13-04-20 RET. The clock starts with the time given when the RET key is pushed. In accordance with the nature of this setting mode, the setting accuracy achieved is approx. one second. If the syntax of the time entry does not exactly match the required, the entered time is not accepted and the text Time syntax error is returned. Should this occur, the most probable reason is either a missing leading zero or an incorrect character instead of a hyphen (-). Even if the syntax is correct, it is still possible that the time is not accepted. In this case the text Invalid time is returned. The reason is then one of the following: the hh>23, mm>59 or ss>59.
11,1,2
Setting of date
By selection 2 (11,1,2), the date can be set:

Give date in format dd-mm-yy
The day, month and year are given as integers separated by a hyphen (-) with integers smaller than 10 always preceded by a zero. Sample reply: 07-12-91RET. A text asking for the day of week appears:
Give day of week: Sunday: 1 Monday: 2 Tuesday: 3 Wednesday: 4 Thursday: 5 Friday: 6 Saturday: 7
NTC DTPS6-0829-SEA2
83
The user has to enter an integer corresponding to the day of week in accordance with the displayed table. If an incorrect value is given here, the automatic summer time / winter time skippings will occur at wrong days. The syntax and validity of the date entry is checked but not until you have also entered the day of week. Therefore, the two error messages explained in the following will return the control one level up in the menu hierarchy. This means that the new date can be entered directly upon reception of the error message. You do not have to type UP. If the syntax of the date entry does not exactly match the required, the entered date is not accepted and the text Date syntax error is returned. Should this occur, the most probable reason is either a missing leading zero or an incorrect character instead of a hyphen (-). Even if the syntax is correct, it is still possible that the date is not accepted. In this case the text Invalid date is returned. The validity check is complete, including the consideration of the leap year analysis.
11,1,3
Summertime practice
By selection (11,1,3) Summertime practice, the summer time practice can be set. It determines whether shifts from summer time to winter time and vice versa take place automatically or by means of Service Terminal commands. The selection provides the following display:
Summertime practice: 0 Display 1 Manual skippings 2 EC summertime
By selection 0 the summer time practice in effect is displayed. By selection 1 (11,1,3,1 ) Manual skippings, the shifts are set to take place by means of Service Terminal controls. By selection 2 (11,1,3,2 ) EC summertime, Teleprotection Signalling Equipment TPS 64 is set into a state where shifts from summer time into winter time and vice versa take place at 03-00-00 in the night between the last Saturday and Sunday in September and March, in accordance with the established practice in the European Community.
11,1,45
Skip into summer/winter time
By these commands, which are used only if selection (11,1,3,1 ) Manual skippings has been selected as the summer time practice, the real time clock of Teleprotection Signalling Equipment TPS 64 can be shifted into summer time (11,1,4) or winter time (11,1,5).
11,9
Remote end miscellaneous
See Chapter 4 CONTROLLING THE TPS 64 SYSTEM. Note that the setting and display of time are less accurate than the corresponding near-end functions.
