Cause and Effect Test
Engineer
access level is required.
During this test, all field device inputs will be ignored by the TPPR system. The
Cause and Effect
matrix will be evaluated
based on simulated input states and outputs will be generated. The system fault relay will be open.
This test has two purposes:
53. To verify that Cause and Effect matrix configuration is correct by forcing the state of the input channels to various
combinations. The activated/de-activated output channels corresponding to the forced state of input channels can be
viewed on the TPPR UI or Webserver (if enabled).
54. To check that the output channels are configured correctly, including delay on/off times etc. By forcing the state of
the output channel to change the corresponding change in the output device state can be viewed on the TPPR UI or
Webserver (if enabled).

to do a full test of the
Cause and Effect
matrix (test purpose1 described above).
65. The system will display a matrix of all the input channels that are linked to the output channel being tested.
66. Select the input channel states that you want to simulate, and click on
Force
. The cells corresponding to the forced
states will be coloured.
67. The system will return to the
Outputs

WARNING
During the Cause and Effect Test,
outputs will be generated and relays will be activated
. To avoid any unwanted
activation of output devices (e.g. emergency flooding) always inhibit or disable relay activated outputs before starting
and remember to enable them when testing is finished.
WARNING
Check and ensure that the system is restored to normal operation once all testing is finished.
