SIMULATION MODE
The 489 may be placed in several simulation modes. This simulation may be useful for
several purposes. First, it may be used to under-stand the operation of the 489 for learning
or training purposes. Second, simulation may be used during startup to verify that control
circuitry operates as it should in the event of a trip or alarm. In addition, simulation may be
used to verify that setpoints had been set properly in the event of fault conditions.
The
SIMULATION MODE
setpoint may be entered only if the generator is offline, no current
is measured, and there are no trips or alarms active. The values entered as Pre-Fault
Values will be substituted for the measured values in the 489 when the
SIMULATION MODE
is “Simulate Pre-Fault”. The values entered as Fault Values will be substituted for the
measured values in the 489 when the
SIMULATION MODE
is “Simulate Fault”. If the
SIMULATION MODE
is set to “Pre-Fault to Fault”, the Pre-Fault values will be substituted for
the period of time specified by the delay, followed by the Fault values. If a trip occurs, the
SIMULATION MODE
reverts to “Off”. Selecting “Off” for the
SIMULATION MODE
places the 489
back in service. If the 489 measures current or control power is cycled, the
SIMULATION
MODE
automatically reverts to “Off”.
If the 489 is to be used for training, it might be desirable to allow all parameter averages,
statistical information, and event recording to update when operating in simulation mode.
If however, the 489 has been installed and will remain installed on a specific generator, it
might be desirable assign a digital input to Test Input and to short that input to prevent all
of this data from being corrupted or updated. In any event, when in simulation mode, the
489 In Service LED (indicator) will flash, indicating that the 489 is not in protection mode.
