 Technical Data (2)

2)

Since PACiS V4.6 version, it is possible to filter the transient 00 position

in PSL evaluation for DPS (jammed). This allow to see in FBD the last
position during jammed position.
Ex: if from Open state, it goes to jammed, so Open state is considered in
the FBD till Closed state appears.
To configure this possibility, in the Interlocking tab of DPS profile,
choose Ignored for Motion parameter, as follow:

 Logic Function BISTABLE (RS)

!

This function is working like this up to PACiS V4.5.0

Properties :
- Transition detection
- Q is SET when SET input goes from 0 to 1
- Q is RESET when RESET input goes from 0 to 1
- Reset has priority on Set

 Logic Function nMPS

nMPS MASK is used for Fast Load Shedding. It reads an MPS status and
according on boolean values of the gate will output 1 or 0 depending on
MPS status
Ex: if MPS state is 3, R goes to 0, and if MPS state is 8, R goes to 1

 Timer & Boolean Settings

1) Possibility to dynamically change TON/TOFF timer value using a settable
input.
2) Possibility to create a fixed Boolean value that can be dynamically
changed by setting.
3) These parameters are configured in SCE then appears in C264 setting file
which can be readable using MiCOM S1 PACiS.

To create a settable timer value, add an FBD timer object in your

automation.
Set the default, min, max and step values.
Set if this parameter is visible & editable or visible & not editable in
MiCOM S1

Edit your FBD and link your FBD Timer to the PT input of TON/TOFF
gate

1) as PSL Inputs :
- SPS, DPS, MPS coming from another C264
2) C264 exchanges :
- GOOSE transmission

C264 executing PSL has for IEC Server the C264 sending
information to it, with property Goose only
(or Data Model and Goose)
Auto Link Client / Server is existing since PACiS 4.7.x
