If blocking signal is active when pick-up element activates a BLOCKED signal will be generated and the
function shall not process the situation further. If Trip function has been activated before blocking signal
it will reset and the release time characteristics are processed as in case of when pick-up signal is
reset.
From blocking of the function a HMI display event as well as time stamped blocking event with
information of the startup current values and fault type is issued.
Blocking signal can be tested also in the commissioning phase of the stage by software switch signal
when relay common and global testing mode is activated.
User settable variables are binary signals from the system. Blocking signal needs to reach the IED
minimum of 5 ms before the set operating delay has passedfor blocking to be active in time.
Measurements and indications of the function
TOLF function outputs measured process data from following magnitudes:

Condition
0:Normal
1:Alarm1 On
2:Alarm2 On
3:Inhibit On
4:Trip On
5:Blocked
TOLF function operating condition at the moment considering binary IO signal status. When the
status is “Normal” no outputs are controlled.
Thermal

2:Overloading
3:Load
normal
TOLF function thermal image status. When the measured current is below 1 % of nominal status
“Light / No load” will be shown, when the measured current is below trip limit status “Load
normal” will be shown, when the measured current is over pick-up limit but under 2 xIn status
“Overloading” will be shown and when measured current is over 2 xIn status “High overload” will
be shown.
