Where direct fibre connections are used (or where multiplexer channels conforming to the IEEE C37.94 standard
ar
e used), connect an appropriate fibre-optic cable from the channel transmitter to the channel receiver port on
the rear of the device.
If the communications use P59x interface devices, connect the appropriate optical fibre(s) between the channel
transmitter(s) on the IED used to make connection to the P59x optical receiver(s). Then commission the relevant
P59x devices.
7.3 LOOPBACK TEST
1. Set C
OMMISSION TESTS > IM64 Test Mode to Enabled, and use COMMISSION TESTS > Test Pattern to set a
bit pattern sent using the InterMiCOM
64
loopback.
2. Check that MEASUREMENTS 4 > IM64 Rx Status matches the test pattern set. The communication statistics
show the number of valid and erroneous messages received.
Note:
The propagation delay measurement is not valid in this mode of operation. The IED responds as if it is connected to a remote
IED. It indicates a loopback alarm which can only be cleared by setting COMMISSION TESTS > Loopback Mode to Disabled.
Note:
In loopback mode the signals sent and r
eceived through the protection communications interface continue to be routed to
and from the signals defined in the programmable logic.
Note:
A t
est pattern can also be sent to the remote end to test the whole InterMiCOM communication path. To do this, set
COMMISSION TESTS >IM64 Test Mode to Enable and connect two ends. Take special care because the test pattern is
executed using PSL at the remote end.
