Overview
SIPROTEC 5 devices are equipped with an extensive and integrated supervision concept. Continuous supervi-
sion:
•
Ensures the availability of the technology used
•
Avoids subfunction and overfunction of the device
•
Protects persons and primary technical devices
•
Offers effective assistance during commissioning and testing
The following areas are monitored:
•
Supervision the resource consumption of the application
•
Supervision of the secondary system
•
Supervision of device hardware
•
Supervision of device firmware
•
Supervision of hardware configuration
•
Supervision of communication connections
When the supervision functions pick up, that will be displayed and also indicated. Error responses are defined
for the device. The error responses are grouped in defect severities.
The supervision functions work selectively. When the supervision functions pick up - as far as possible - only
the affected parts of the hardware and firmware are blocked. If this is not possible, the device goes out of
operation into a secure state (fallback mode). In addition to safety, this warrants a high degree of availability.
