General guidelines
What is described in this manual?
This manual describes BTB software configuration. The software configuration is designed to separate
groups of gen-sets with control of bus-tie breaker. It is dedicated to more complex systems with several
Mains incomers, gen-set groups and load feeders usually supervised by an external PLC.
What is the purpose of this manual?
This manual provides general information on how to configure the controller.
This manual is intended for use by:
Operators of gen-sets
Gen-set control panel builders
For everybody who is concerned with installation, operation and maintenance of the gen-set
!! Warnings !!
Remote control
The NT controller can be remotely controlled. In case that maintenance needs to be done, check the
following to effect safety.
Disconnect remote control via RS232 line
Disconnect input REMOTE START/STOP
The controller contains a large number of configurable setpoints, because of this it is impossible to describe
all of its functions. These are subject to change from SW version to SW version. This manual only describes

General description
Description of the controller system (with all options)
IM-NT controller is comprehensive mains supervision controller for multiple generating sets operating in
parallel to the Mains or in island parallel.
NT Family controllers are equipped with a powerful graphic display showing icons, symbols and bar-graphs
for intuitive operation, which sets, together with high functionality, new standards in Gen-set controls.
The controller automatically connects two groups of gen-sets (two buses) and controls the bus-tie breaker
(BTB). It enables synchronization of one group of gen-sets to another.
The key feature of the controller is its easy-to-use operation and installation. Predefined configurations for
typical applications are available as well as user-defined configurations for special applications.

Functions
OFF-MAN-AUT mode
OFF mode
All regulations are switched off.
Switching to OFF mode causes opening of BTB regardless of the settings.
MAN mode
It is possible to close/open BTB manually under supervision of IM-NT controller which doesnt allow to close
the breaker if the bus voltages are not in phase.
Pressing BTB ON/OFF button closes/opens BTB if it is allowed by
setpoints ProcessControl:Synchro enable, Mains coupling, DeadBusClosing
binary input BTB disable
Hint:
It is possible to close BTB in MAN mode without voltage on bus left and bus right.
AUT mode
Controller closes automatically BTB if
bus voltages are within the limits (Sync ctrl:Phase window, Voltage window)
there is voltage on one of the buses and closing to dead bus is enabled by
ProcessControl:DeadBusClosing
binary input BTB disable is not closed
it is enabled by setting of ProcessControl:Synchro enable, Mains coupling setpoints
Hint:
It is not possible to close BTB in MAN and AUT mode if there is no voltage on both buses. If voltage on both
left and right bus disappears, the BTB is automatically opened.
After the BTB is closed, IM-BTB deactivates all regulation loops that are taken over by the IM-M(G)CB.
Power management
Following descriptions are related mostly to the gen-set controllers. Power management setpoints
are included in IM-NT from compatibility purposes only.
Automatic gen-set start / stop function based on load changes and/or Running hours or Engine size.

AccessLock D#2
If the input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted and no commands can be issued from IG-Display #2.
AccessLock ext
If the input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted and no commands can be issued from any external
terminal = via direct/modem/internet connection to the controller.
Hint:
Use these inputs to lock out the selected terminals for setpoint changes and commands. Such a terminal can
only be used for monitoring.
Remote OFF
Active binary input forces the controller mode to OFF.
Hint:
Use this input to lock out the IM-NT control loops.
16
Remote MAN
Active binary input forces the controller mode to MAN.
Remote AUT
Active binary input forces the controller mode to AUT.
Hint:
Use this input to switch the controller to automatic operation, e.g. using the external key switch.
Load res 2
Load res 3
Load res 4
If the input Load res X is closed, the setpoint set #LoadResStrt X + #LoadResStop X (#%LdResStrt X +
#%LdResStop X) will be selected. Higher index has higher priority when more these binary inputs are closed
together. When not configured or not active, setpoint set #LoadResStrt 1 + #LoadResStop 1(#%LdResStrt 1
+ #%LdResStop 1) is used.
Hint:
IM-NT uses these signals for display purposes only, i.e. for correct bargraph indication. Nevertheless, IM-NT
is a suitable controller to be the source of Load res X and MinRun power X signals for the rest of the system,
if a virtual periphery is used.
All controllers operating in Power management must have selected the same Load reserves.
It is possible to use Virtual periphery to share the signals between more controllers on the CAN bus. In this
case one controller is a server which physically has the signals connected and other controllers get these
signals via CAN bus.
Setpoint set selection depends on the #Pwr mgmt mode if set to ABS (kW or kVA), #LoadResStrt X type
setpoints are active, if set to REL (%), #%LdResStrt X type setpoints are active.
GroupLink
If this input is configured, the group linking function is active, i.e. this controller becomes the status server for
two groups of gen-sets and informs them about the BTB status.
If this input is closed, the controller reports BTB status as closed, if open, the controller reports open BTB
status.
Hint:
In MCB and MGCB application, this input is present from compatibility purposes only. It can report a BTB
status, however InteliMains will most likely not be the controller to control that breaker.
In BTB application, on the other hand, this is one of the most important logical inputs, which should be
connected to the feedback of the controlled BTB. Knowing the state of its BTB, the controller can report this
state to all other gen-set controllers on the CAN bus in order to merge / split the logical CAN groups. See
also setpoints ControlGroup, GroupLinkLeft, GroupLinkRight.
Emerg. Manual
The controller behaves like when switched to OFF mode if this input is closed. Controller opens binary
outputs or stays inactive:
Binary outputs Power management (Sys start/stop, SysReady, Sys res OK, Sys res 1 OK, Sys res
2 OK, Sys res 3 OK, Sys res 4 OK),
Binary outputs Breaker control (MCB close/open, MCB ON coil, MCB OFF coil, MCB UV coil,
MGCB ON coil, MGCB OFF coil, MGCB UV coil, BTB close/open, BTB ON coil, BTB OFF coil, BTB
UV coil)
Binary outputs Fixed protection outputs (Horn, Alarm, Alarm flashing, Horn flashing, Common
Wrn, Common MPR, Common Fls, Common MP, Common Al, Common Hst, CommonActLev 1,(2),
CommonAlLev1,(2)).
IM-NT BTB, SW Version 2.6, ComAp August 2010
IM-NT-BTB-2.6.PDF
17
The output terminals that are configured with inversion are closed. Voltage, current and power
measurement is active all the time, regardless of the actual state of the mains. It is possible to
influence breaker under IM-NT supervision without Wrn MCB fail or Wrn MGCB fail.
After the binary input EMERG. MANUAL is open again, the controller recovers to the previous mode
and behaves according to the actual situation. Function is active in any controller mode and
activation of this input is written to history.
Hint:
The function is intended especially for Marine gen-sets which are supposed to be started manually
while the controller has no power supply. To recover successfully from this state, only the signals
MCB ON/OFF coil should be used for mains and breaker control, as the other outputs are continuous
active during Mains operation and it is not possible to switch them between more control sources.
The full name of this function is emergency manual.
FaultResButton
Binary input has the same function as Fault reset button on the controller front panel.
HornResButton
Binary input has the same function as Horn reset button on the controller front panel.
BTBButton
Binary input has the same function as MCB button on the controller front panel, which in the BTB application
controls the Bus-Tie Breaker. It is active in MAN mode only.
BTB disable
The input blocks the BTB closing, even if all other conditions for its closing are fulfilled. Valid in all modes.
Hint:
If you need to force BTB opening by binary input (function BTB Open), use any binary input and configure
protection Breaker open.
Force sync
The controller will react on this input only if it is in AUT ctrl mode = COX (FOLLOW).
If the input is closed, controller will start to synchronize the voltages measured at mains and bus terminals
(or BusLeft and BusRight for BTB application), regardless of the actual state of breaker feedbacks.
Hint:
The synchronizing will start only if it is allowed by actual setting of Synchro enable. In the case of BTB
application, the method selected in setpoint Synchro enable is used (L->R or R->L).
Alt brightness
Active binary input switches controller display backlight to the alternative setting. Alternative intensity of the
backlight can be set independently using controller panel buttons.
ExtValue1 up
ExtValue2 up
ExtValue3 up
ExtValue4 up
Active binary input causes increasing of the corresponding ExtValueX value. The rate of change is given by
the setpoint ExtValueX rate. If the ExtValueX reaches the ExtValueXHiLim, the further input request is
ignored.
18
ExtValue1 down
ExtValue2 down
ExtValue3 down
ExtValue4 down
Active binary input causes decreasing of the corresponding ExtValueX value. The rate of change is given by
the setpoint ExtValueX rate. If the ExtValueX reaches the ExtValueXLoLim, the further input request is
ignored.
Hint:
If at least one of the inputs (ExtValueX up / ExtValueX down) is configured for the particular ExtValueX, the
external set commands to the same value are ignored.
ExtValue1reset
ExtValue2reset
ExtValue3reset
ExtValue4reset
Active binary input causes ExtValueX to be reset and held at its default value, given by the setpoint
ExtValueXdeflt.
Hint:
These inputs, if configured, do not block the external set commands (in contrast to ExtValueX up / ExtValueX
down inputs). However, if the reset input is activated, the corresponding ExtValueX is reset to its default
(ExtValueXdeflt) value. This default value is kept in ExtValueX until the reset input is deactivated, and the
external set commands received meanwhile are ignored.
PulseCounter 1
PulseCounter 2
PulseCounter 3
PulseCounter 4
The inputs are linked with corresponding counters, which integrate the pulses sensed at these inputs. Each
rising edge of the signal at input increases the internal counter value.
Hint:
Pulse width (both high/low levels) must be at least 100 ms in order to be correctly sensed!
Conversion ratio can be selected using the setpoints ConvCoefPulseX. The converted values are visible in
statistics values PulseCounter X. These values can be reset using Statistics window in InteliMonitor.
IssueActCallC1
IssueActCallC2
IssueActCallC3
Rising edge on these binary inputs forces an active call to be issued via the corresponding channel.
Hint:
Can be used to send e.g. an SMS in the case of a special event, not covered with standard Active Calls.
19
ForceValueIn 1-16
If the particular input is active, the Force value function on that corresponding channel gets active, forcing an
alternative value to the selected setpoint.
20
CtrlHBeat sens
BI "CtrlHBeat sens" should be assigned to the output "CtrlHeartBeat" from the other controller. If input signal
does not correspond to right form (log 1 / log 0 - 500 ms / 500 ms; +/- 100 ms), BO: "CtrlHBeat FD" (Fail
Detect) is activated. This BO can be used for primary controller blocking (switching to Emerg. manual,
disconnecting BO, ...) and mainly for disconnecting of BI "Emerg. manual" of this (backup) controller. What
means that the backup controller assumes engine control.
BTB ON coil
The pulse output for BTB closing. If BTB synchronizing is enabled, the pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse length
is 5s.
Hint:
ON coil can only be closed if UV coil is already active for at least 1s.
BTB UV coil
BTB undervoltage coil. Output is closed if bus values are within limits at least at one side of the breaker and
BTB is ready to be closed. It is opened if BTB should be open, and then closed again if bus electric values
IM-NT BTB, SW Version 2.6, ComAp August 2010
21
IM-NT-BTB-2.6.PDF
are in limits at least at one side. If BTB synchronizing is enabled, the opening pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse
length is 5s.
BTB status
Intended for the indication of the BTB status. The information is based on BTB feedback and BTB fdb neg
signals except of situation of feedbacks mismatch.
Can be used for external indication of breaker status according to controllers information.
Off mode
Man mode
Aut mode
BusL params OK
The output is copy of BusLeft status LED on controller front panel. The output is closed if left bus electric
values are in limits.
BusR params OK
The output is copy of BusRight status LED on controller front panel. The output is closed if right bus electric
values are in limits.
In synchronism
The output closes during synchronizing if all matching conditions are fulfilled. It opens if corresponding
breaker is closed (xCB status output get active).
Hint:
Synchronizing matching conditions:
- Slip frequency < 0,25 Hz
- Bus to Mains voltage phase shift within Phase window (BusLeft and BusRight in the case of BTB
application)
- Bus and Mains voltages within Voltage window (BusLeft and BusRight in the case of BTB
application)
- Dwell time elapsed
22
FltResButnEcho

CtrlHeartBeat
The output signalizes watchdog reset. In a healthy state it flashes at 500ms : 500ms rate. When the unit
reset occurs and the new start-up fails, it stops flashing.
Logical 0
Constant value that can be configured to any output.
Logical 1
Constant value that can be configured to any output.
TimerAct 1-4
TimerAct 5-8
TimerAct 9-12
TimerAct 13-16
These outputs are active if at least one of their assigned timer module channels gets active. Timer module
channels are organized into groups of four.
TimerActiveCom
This output is a logical OR (Com = Common) of the outputs TimerAct 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16. It gets active if
any timer module channel is active.
CtrlHBeat FD
BI "CtrlHBeat sens" should be assigned to the output "CtrlHeartBeat" from the other controller. If input signal
does not correspond to right form (log 1 / log 0 - 500 ms / 500 ms; +/- 100 ms), BO: "CtrlHBeat FD" (Fail
Detect) is activated. This BO can be used for primary controller blocking (switching to Emerg. manual,
disconnecting BO, ...) and mainly for disconnecting of BI "Emerg. manual" of this (backup) controller. What
means that the backup controller assumes engine control.
Alarm flashing
If any alarm comes up, the output starts periodic closing/opening with period 1s/1s. It opens and stays open
if FAULT RESET is pressed.
Horn
The output closes if any alarm comes up. It opens if FAULT RESET or HORN RESET is pressed or if Horn
timeout has elapsed. The output closes again if a new fault comes up.
23
Horn flashing
If any alarm comes up, the output starts periodic closing/opening with period 1s/1s. It opens and stays open
if FAULT RESET or HORN RESET is pressed or if Horn timeout has elapsed.
Common Hst
The output closes if any History record-type alarm appears. The output opens after 1s.
Common Al
The output closes if any Alarm only-type alarm appears. The output opens, if no Alarm only-type alarm is
active and FAULT RESET has been pressed.
Common Wrn
The output closes if any Warning-type alarm appears. The output opens, if no Warning-type alarm is
active and FAULT RESET has been pressed.
Common BOp
The output closes if any Breaker Open-type alarm appears. The output opens, if no Breaker Open-type
alarm is active. No FAULT RESET needed.
Common BOR
The output closes if any Breaker Open with fault Reset-type alarm appears. The output opens, if no
Breaker Open with fault Reset-type alarm is active and FAULT RESET has been pressed.
CommonActLev 1
The output is a logical OR of Common Al and Common Wrn outputs.
CommonAlLev 1
The output is active if at least one of the 1st level alarms (Al, Wrn) is active or not yet confirmed.
Hint:
See picture below with signal behaviour description. The same behaviour like for Warning-type alarm would
be for Alarm only.
The same behaviour, but with signals CommonActLev 2 and CommonAlLev 2 would be for Mains
protection and Mains protection with fault Reset-type alarms (in MCB and MGCB applications).
For BTB application, the signals CommonActLev 2 and CommonAlLev 2 is driven by Breaker Open with
fault Reset protections.
24
Fault reset

25
BusL OK
The output is closed if healthy BusLeft voltage is present. It opens immediately if BusLeft voltage or
frequency gets out of the limits.
BusR OK
The output is closed if healthy BusRight voltage is present. It opens immediately if BusRight voltage or
frequency gets out of the limits.
BusL fail
The output is open if healthy BusLeft voltage is present. It closes with a delay given by BusLeft protections if
BusLeft voltage or frequency gets out of the limits.
BusR fail
The output is open if healthy BusRight voltage is present. It closes with a delay given by BusRight
protections if BusRight voltage or frequency gets out of the limits.
PeriphCommErr
Output closes if there is an error in the communication with any peripheral unit (e.g. IS-AIN8, IGS-PTM, ...).
Sync timeout
The output is closed when the alarm Sync timeout is active and Wrn Sync fail is presented.
26
Syst res OK
The output closes when selected system load reserve is achieved within the gen-set group.
PBNom > PAkt + Reserve
PBNom
PAkt
Reserve
Sum of the nominal power of all gen-sets in the gen-set logical group
System load
selected setpoint #LoadResStrt X
In relative mode, actual relative load reserve of the gen-sets is calculated and compared with required
relative load reserve (#%LdResStrt X).
Syst res 1 OK
Syst res 2 OK
Syst res 3 OK
Syst res 4 OK
The corresponding output X is closed when Pwr management: #LoadResStrt X (or #%LdResStrt X in
relative mode) is achieved, independent to which #LoadResStrt X (or #%LdResStrt X) reserve is selected.
27
Setpoints
Password protection
Any setpoint can be password protected - 7 levels of password is available. The password is a four-digit
number. Only setpoints associated with the entered password level can be modified.
Even though one level may have been set from the front panel, the affected setpoints are not
accessible from InteliMonitor (direct or Modem) until this level is set in InteliMonitor.
Setpoints opened from front panel are automatically closed 15 minutes after the last key has been
pressed or when wrong value of password is set.
The controller programming (configuration) requires the highest - password 7 level.
ProcessControl
#SysBaseLoad
[ kW ]
From this value, the requested gen-set load is calculated, according to the number of gen-sets running (to
split the load among them based on their nominal power). The complete system produces the power equal to
this value. Active only when SysLdCtrl PtM = BASELOAD.
Step:
1 kW
Range:
0 65000 kW
Hint:
Setpoints starting with # are shared among all the controllers on the CAN2 bus, so changing the value in
one controller causes its change in all controllers. These setpoints are mainly present in IM-NT from
compatibility purposes only and have no meaning. Others have different meaning than in IG/IS-NT
controllers.
If you set this setpoint to a higher value than the system is able to produce, the total produced power is
limited with the sum of Nomin power setpoints of all gen-sets in the system.
The same holds for the lower limit - the gen-set power is limited to Generator protect: Min power PtM, and
IM-NT cannot force the gen-set to go under this limit, even if set in #SysBaseLoad setpoint.
#SysPwrFactor
[ ]
Requested gen-set power factor when #SysPFCtrl PtM = BASEPF. Values 0,60 0,99 correspond to lagging
(inductive, L) PF, 1,01 1,20 correspond to leading (capacitive, C) PF.
Step:

#SysLdCtrl PtM
BASELOAD
LDSHARING
[ BASELOAD / LDSHARING ]
The gen-set is a part of the System delivered power control (#SysBaseLoad) and
produces a certain part of it, according to the actual number of running gen-sets and self
Nomin power. This option is only active in parallel with mains, in island parallel operation
the mode is always internally set to LDSHARING.
The gen-set load is shared with other gen-sets according to the actual load. For IM-NT,
this means it is able to influence
Hint:
BASE LOAD mode means that IM-NT speed/power control loops are switched off and only the control loops
in IG/IS-NT controllers are active.

[ BASEPF / VSHARING ]

Hint:
BASE PF mode means that IM-NT voltage/power factor control loops are switched off and only the control
loops in IG/IS-NT controllers are active.
I/E-PbL meas
Import / Export measurement selection when one of power I/E modes selected. Current transformers are
expected at the left side of the BTB.
NONE
No source for I/E active power measurement available. If selected, the controller wont
influence the gen-sets on the bus if BTB is closed (i.e. for power control purposes).
CT INPUTS
BusLeft I/E active power (PbL) is measured and calculated from controllers current
terminals.
ANALOG INPUT BusLeft I/E active power is measured by an external device and the controller measures
this value via analog input MLC:I/E-PbL.
Hint:
PbL signalizes that positive active power value is considered as power flow from left side of the bus to the
right (from BTB-controller point of view).
I/E-QbL meas
Synchro enable
(FV)
Mains coupling
[ DISABLED / ENABLED ]
(FV)
If set to ENABLED, the controller will allow a closure of the BTB in the case that both buses (sides) of the
breaker are connected to the mains. This can happen if a synchronizing command is issued in this case it
doesnt matter which Synchro enable mode has been selected. If all synchronizing conditions are met
(phase, slip frequency, voltage match, dwell time), the breaker close command is issued.
If set to DISABLED, the controller blocks the BTB closing in this situation.
Hint:
The controller can sense that a particular bus side is connected to the mains from the information provided
by other controllers at the same CAN bus.

In AUT mode, the process is fully automatic. In MAN mode, the controller will only react on the button
command if the transition based on this setpoint is allowed.
DeadBusClosing
(FV)
NORMAL:
The controller in AUT mode works with all delays specified in setpoints and provides
automatic state transfers according to the settings.
COX (FOLLOW): The controller in AUT mode follows the states specified externally (e.g. breaker feedback
active or not) and reacts only on input command Force sync. According to the actual
controller state, the respective power control loop is active. This IM-NT behaviour is similar
to the behaviour of IG/IS-NT COX application.
WatchedContr
[0-16]
The setpoint specifies which controller will be set as a master in redundant control operation. Control
unit follows all inputs and it is in the same state as the master unit. All binary outputs are opened,
CAN bus messages are not transmitted from slave unit and all other units know about this state.
Slave control unit does not work in power management (is removed from PWR management).
Setpoint is ignored till Emerg. Manual binary input is not activated.
Hint:
Activation of Emerg. Manual operation is possible only when Binary input Emerg. Manual is active
and WatchedContr is set to 0! Binary input Emerg. Man deactivation brings controller to the previous
operation mode (depends on actual state of feedbacks and inputs).
In the case when Binary input Emerg. Manual is activated and WatchedContr is differnet from 0 then
control units follows Master unit and receives all messages from the CAN bus.

[ DISABLED / ENABLED ]
DISABLED:
If Fault reset is activated (from any source), only inactive (normally displayed) alarms are
reset. So only inactive alarms can be cleared from the Alarmlist.
ENABLED:
If Fault reset is activated (from any source), all currently present (including inverse displayed
= active) alarms are reset (asterisk in Alarmlist disappears for all present alarms). I.e. after an active (inverse
displayed) alarm later on becomes inactive (normally displayed), it is cleared automatically from the Alarmlist
if previously reset.

failure and opening of GCB. If the MCB feedback is closed, gen-sets are unloaded to mains prior to GCB
opening.

#SlowStopDel
[s]
When the Slow stop protection occurs, the controller announces to the rest of the system, that the engine is
no more ready.
a) If there are another sets ready to start and supply the load, the protection waits until the substitute engine
starts and connects to the bus. Then the engine with the active Slow stop protection softly unloads, cools
down and stops. The controller waits for substitute engine max for #SlowStopDel time.
b) If there is no other set to start, the protection activates immediately. If soft unload possible (another set is
running or MCB is closed) engine is softly unloaded, if not, GCB opens immediately.
As every protection it has to be reset by operator to get ready again.

#MinRunPower 1 (2, 3)
[ kW ]
Following description is valid for gen-set controllers only and has informative character here:
It is minimum required power of gen-set group (sum of Nomin power of running gen-sets). When Binary input
Sys start/stop is closed, starts and stays running such a number of gen-sets to keep selected
#MinRunPower X value. This is independent on load reserves system, so even if there is high load reserve
that would allow to stop some engines, Minimum Running Power system may force them to keep running.
When binary input MinRunPower X is closed, the corresponding #MinRun power X value is selected. When
more binary inputs MinRunPower X are closed, the higher number has higher priority. When no input closed,
no #MinRunPower X is selected and minimum running power is zero, leaving only the load reserves system
to work.

#PwrBandContr 1
#PwrBandContr 2
#PwrBandContr 3
#PwrBandContr 4
According to selected controller addresses combination (controllers must have addresses 1-3), running gensets are selected based on the actual site load.
The limits of site power bands are given by nominal powers of particular gen-sets. The gen-sets that are
required to run in certain power band get the priorities 1, other gen-sets get the priority 32. This system does
not influence the setpoint Priority.
Example:
Gen-set 1 = 20 kW
Gen-set 2 = 50 kW
Gen-set 3 = 100 kW
#PwrBandContr1 = 1 (active if load under 20-#LoadResStrt X kW)
#PwrBandContr2 = 1+2 (active between 20 .. 70-#LoadResStrt X kW)
#PwrBandContr3 = 3 (active between 70 .. 100-#LoadResStrt X kW)
#PwrBandContr4 = 2+3 (active between 100 .. 150-#LoadResStrt X kW)
Above the last power band, all gen-sets will be instructed to run.
#PwrBandChngDlUp

GroupLinkLeft
GroupLinkRight
[ ]
These setpoints define the gen-set groups present to both sides of a special breaker (Bus-Tie Breaker). The
information about the breaker status is sent to all controllers via CAN bus and the affected controllers will
behave according to it.
Step:
1
Range:
COMMON (=1), 2 32
Hint:
Example: if settings are GroupLinkLeft = 1 and GroupLinkRight = 2 and the special breaker is closed, a CAN
message is sent to notify all gen-sets in groups 1 and 2, that they should work together and make Load and
VAr Sharing not only within their groups, but together with the other group, too.
The message is sent if logical binary input GroupLink is active, and this signal should be linked to the
feedback of the special breaker (e.g. Bus-Tie).

Phase window
[]
(FV)
Maximum phase angle (BusLeft x BusRight voltage) difference between requested and actual angle for
synchronizing.
Step:
1
Range:
0 90
Hint:
The setpoint works as a window surrounding the BRtoBLAngleReq setpoint. E.g. for BRtoBLAngleReq =
+30 and Phase window = 5, the breaker closure is allowed for phases +25 to +35.
If you want to lock out the breaker closing during synchronizing control loop test, set Phase window = 0. This
allows the control loop setpoints to be tuned while actual breaker closing is blocked.

corresponds to the Force value Xth function.
Hint:
As the source for Force value channel can be used any compatible value in the controller (in general all
values and setpoints of types integer8,16,32). In that case the corresponding Force value X setpoint is
unused on that channel.

Hint:
If binary input ExtValueXreset is active, the corresponding ExtValueX is held at its default value, regardless
of the activity of inputs Up and Down and regardless of incoming external set commands.
Using this function in combination with Force value you can externally control selected setpoints values and
achieve some special behaviour of the controller.

Defines the setting of particular timer channel.
There is 16 channels, each defines occurrence date and time (year, month, day, hour, minute), duration time
(in minutes, maximum is 24*60), repeating period (day, week, month, once). In case of week day of the
week selection, when should be executed + selection of repeating (every 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th week); In case of
month day of the month selection (e.g. every 3rd day or every 2nd Monday)
Every channel can be disabled by blocking input (physical input or logical output). If blocking input is active
then the timer is not activated.
The channels are divided into groups of 4. Every group has independent binary output. There is also one
common output for all 16 channels.
