32 logical input signal status bits. Status is either 0 or 1.
32 quality bits of logical input signals (GOOSE). Status is either 0 or 1. 1 stands for bad/invalid
quality.
32 logical output signal status bits. Status is either 0 or 1.
Logical signals are mainly used for controlling purposes through the IEC 61850, GOOSE or other
communication protocols with a similar purpose. There are 32 logical input signal status bits, and their
status can be either 0 or 1. "Logical input quality" checks the condition of a logical input. There are 32
logical input signals (GOOSE), and their status can bei either 0 or 1 ("1"= bad or invalid quality).
Logical outputs can be used when building a programmable logic. Activating a logic gate does not
create an event but when a logical output is connected to a logic gate it is possible to create an event
of the gate's activation. Logical inputs and outputs have ON and OFF events that can be masked on
(they are masked off by default).
NOTE! Please refer to the "System integration" chapter for a more detailed description of the use of
logical signals.
4.5. Communication menu
The
Communication
main menu includes two submenus:
Connections
and
Protocols
. All devices can
be con gured through the Ethernet connection in the back panel with the AQtivate setting and
con guration software suite. Connecting to the AQtivate software requires knowing the IP address of
your device (can be found in the
Connections
submenu). As a standard, the devices support the
following communication protocols: NTP, IEC 61850, Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU, IEC 103, IEC
101/104, SPA and Modbus/IO. You can also have other protocols with additional, speacialized
communication interface modules.
