Instructions for the FP-6000 Protective Relay
12.2.3 History Log
The history log records statistics that can be gathered over time.
It is therefore useful in detecting chronic problems that occur
over time. In addition it keeps track of the number of operations
and accumulated interrupted amps, that can indicate if the
breaker needs maintenance. Each history log has a date-times
stamp to indicate when the data was last reset. Each history log
can be reset by pressing the reset button until the reset menu
appears, then selecting History Log and then choosing the
correct history log to be reset. See Section 4.6.3.3 for more
information on the history log.
12.2.4 Using Waveform Data
Waveforms of all current and voltage phases are available
through the PowerNet application software. The trigger of the
waveform is automatic when the Trip 1 relay output contact
activates. Using a logging setting (see setpoint Section 5) the
waveform capture can also be triggered on the activation of the
Trip 2 relay. See applications Section 8.10 and Section 5 for more
information on how to set up the waveform capture.
12.2.5 Detection of Breaker Failures
The FP-6000 can detect failures in the breaker that can be useful
in troubleshooting the system. Detectable failures include:
•
Breaker failure to interrupt fault current
•
Slow breaker operation time
•
Breaker state alarm due to conflicting 52a and 52b contact
inputs
•
Open circuit detection on the trip or open coil circuit, and the
close coil circuit
Please see application Section 8.9 and setting Section 5 for more
details.
12.2.6 Detection of Failed Current or Voltage Transformer
The loss of the ability to read a phase voltage or current can be
detected by using the 46 current unbalance and 47 voltage
unbalance protection alarm functions (see Section 5). If a current
or voltage transformer circuit should fail then a large unbalance
of 50% will be detected and an alarm can be raised.
12.3 Getting Help from Eaton
For help, contact:
Eaton
Power Management Application Support
150 Industry Drive
Pittsburgh, PA 15275
Or phone Eaton
Power Management Applications Support at:
1-800-809-2772, option 1 / option 1
Or browse the Eaton web site at:
www.eaton.com and follow the power management products
link.
12.4 Firmware Upgrading
Eaton will occasionally upgrade the firmware of the
FP-6000 for the purpose of enhancing functionality or for other
quality improvements. For this purpose, firmware is upgraded
through the Eaton FP-6000 FlashLoader program, along with a
downloadable code file with a name such as, fp5kapp.s19
(example), which contains a representation of the firmware. This
“S-Record” file contains all the information necessary to
upgrade your FP-6000 firmware. The FlashLoader program must
be installed on your PC, and your PC must have RS-232 serial
communication capability. The “S-Record” file must be in one of
the disk data paths accessible to your PC. Requirements for your
PC are Windows 95, Version 2 or newer, 30 meg space on your
hard drive and at least a 486 Intel
TM
processor.
12.4.1 FlashLoader Installation
There are a variety of formats in which you might obtain the
FlashLoader installation files, such as by CD, floppy disks, or
Internet download. Contact your Eaton sales office or your Eaton
technical support team for assistance. Identify the location of the
provided Setup.exe program in the source provided. Double-click
on the file using Widows
Explorer, and follow the installation
instructions.
12.4.2 Preparation for Downloading with FlashLoader
Make sure that the FP-6000 is active and not in standby mode. If
the display is blank, press any key to activate the unit. Start the
FlashLoader program on your PC and follow the instructions.
The operation of the program is self explanatory, however the
following description will enhance the user’s understanding of
this program.
Verify the Baud rate setting for the
front panel RS-232 port. The
setting may be viewed by pressing
the
View Setting
button, selecting
Communications, RS-232, and
reading the Baud rate. The default
Baud rate for the FP-5000 is 19,200.
The default Baud rate setting for
the FlashLoader is 9600. In order to
decrease the download time,
consider setting both to 38,400. Set
the FP-6000 Baud rate setting
before starting the FlashLoader.
Connect your PC to the front panel RS-232 connector on the front
panel of the FP-6000 using a standard DTE to DSE cable. The
FP-6000 front panel RS-232 connector is wired as a 9-socket
(Female) Data Set (DSE) D-Subminiature under the RS-232
standard. Typical PCs are wired as a 9-pin (Male) Data Terminal
(DTE) under the RS-232 standard. Sometimes PCs might have a
25-position D-Subminiature connector. In the case of the
9-position configuration, an off-the-shelf Male DB9 to Female
DB9 “straight through” connection cable will work properly,
even though only the Transmit, Receive, and common wires are
required. (The front panel RS-232 connector uses a 3-wire
connection, not relying on the hardware handshaking lines.)
Place the provided “S-Record” file into an accessible data path,
preferably loading it onto a convenient place on your hard drive
to minimize access time during the download process.
CAUTION
VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE THE PROPER S-RECORD FILE BEFORE
ERASING THE FLASH MEMORY IN YOUR FP-6000. ONCE THE FLASH
MEMORY HAS BEEN ERASED, FURTHER OPERATION OF THE
FP-6000 WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL A PROPER S-RECORD FILE IS
DOWNLOADED. ONE MEANS OF ASSURANCE IS TO VERIFY THE
DATE AND SIZE OF THE FILE WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF EATON
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
