Timer
Once activated, Timer activates the
START
output. Depending on the value of
the
Operating curve type setting, the time characteristics are according to DT or
wattmetric IDMT. When the operation timer has reached the value of
Operate delay
time in the DT mode or the maximum value defined by the inverse time curve,
the
OPERATE
output is activated. If a drop-off situation happens, that is, a fault
suddenly disappears before the operating delay is exceeded, the timer reset state is
activated. The reset time is identical for both DT or wattmeter IDMT. The reset time
depends on the
Reset delay time setting.
Timer calculates the start duration value START_DUR, which indicates the
percentage ratio of the start situation and the set operation time. The value is
available in the monitored data view.
Blocking logic
There are three operation modes in the blocking function. The operation modes
are controlled by the
BLOCK
input and the global setting in Configuration >
System > Blocking mode which selects the blocking mode. The
BLOCK
input can
be controlled by a binary input, a horizontal communication input or an internal
signal of the protection relay's program. The influence of the
BLOCK
signal activation
is preselected with the global setting
Blocking mode.
The
Blocking mode setting has three blocking methods. In the "Freeze timers"
mode, the operation timer is frozen to the prevailing value, but the
OPERATE
output
is not deactivated when blocking is activated. In the "Block all" mode, the whole
function is blocked and the timers are reset. In the
Block OPERATE output mode, the
function operates normally but the
OPERATE
output is not activated.
