FRONT CONTROL PANEL INTERFACE CHAPTER 3: INTERFACES
Target Messages are displayed in order of their activation, whereas in cases of
simultaneous activation, they are displayed in the order outlined below (from highest to
lowest priority):
1. Targets generated by pressing programmable pushbutton
2.
Targets generated by Contact inputs
3. Targets generated by Protection, Control and Monitoring elements
4. Targets generated by communications.
In cases where the Pickup and Operate flags from an element are detected at the same
time, the
Pickup flag is not displayed. The Operate flag is displayed instead.
LED #6, from the first column of LEDs, is factory configured to be triggered by the FlexLogic
oper
and ANY TARGET, to indicate the presence of at least one target message. This LED is
labeled as “MESSAGE”. The LED can be programmed to any other FlexLogic operand by
choice.
MESSAGE TIMEOUT:
The timeout applies to each screen that is different than the default screen to which the
user navi
gates. Examples include viewing, metering, or navigating to a screen with setting,
etc. If no further navigation is performed, no pushbutton is touched, and/or no target is
initiated for the time specified in the message timeout setpoint, the display goes back to
the default screen (the metering summary screen).
The target message interrupts the message timeout. It overrides it. The message timeout
star
ts timing after each target message, and if no more activity is recorded for the
specified time, the display goes back to the default screen.
Pressing a programmable pushbutton activates a new screen with a Target Message
corr
esponding to the programmed PB action. The PB Target Message is displayed for 10
seconds then defaults to the screen that was displayed before pressing the pushbutton.
The PB Target Message is recorded in the list with other generated Target Messages.
Target Messages can be cleared either by pressing the PB corresponding to the tab
“CLE
AR”, or by initiating a RESET command. The “CLEAR” command clears only the Target
Messages, while initiating a RESET clears not only the Target Messages, but also any
latched LEDs and output relays.
Self-Test Errors The relay performs self-diagnostics at initialization (after power up), and continuously as a
background task to ensure that the hardware and software are functioning correctly.
There are two types of self-test warnings indicating either a minor or major problem. Minor
errors indicate a problem with the relay that does not compromise protection and control
functionality of the relay. Major errors indicate a problem with the relay which takes it out
of service.
CAUTION:
Self-Test Warnings may indicate a serious problem with the relay hardware!
Upon detection of a minor problem, the relay does the following:
• Displays a detailed description of the error on the relay display as a target message
• Records the minor self-test error in the Event Recorder
•Flashes the “ALARM” LED
Upon detection of a major problem, the
relay does the following:
• De-energizes critical failure relay
• De-energizes all output relays
• Blocks protection and control elements
• Turns the "IN SERVICE" LED to red
• Flashes the "ALARM" LED
• Displays “Major Self-test error” with the error code as a target message
• Records the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder
