Figure. 8.1. - 175. Fully optioned AQ-X257 IEDs
In case add-on module is inserted to the IED the start-up scan will search of the modules according to
the type designation code, if the module location or content is differing from the expected the IED will
not take additional modules into account and will issue a con guration error. For a eld upgrade this
means that the add-on module must be ordered from Arcteq Ltd. or representative who shall provide
the add-on module with corresponding unlocking code in order the device to be operating correctly
after upgrading the hardware con guration. This means also that the module location cannot be
changed without updating the device con guration data, for this case also unlocking code is needed.
When IO module is inserted to the IED the module location shall affect to the naming of the IO. The
scanning order in the start-up sequence is CPU-module IO, slot E, slot F and so on. This means that
the binary input channels DI1, DI2 and DI3 and the binary output channels OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4
and OUT5 are always located in the CPU-module. If more IO is installed the location of each type of
card will have effect on the found IO naming. In following gure is presented the principle of the start-
up hardware scan of the IED.
