1.2 Application

This document specifies the function of the two circuit-breaker function blocks
COCB1 and COCB2 used in products based on the RED 500 Platform. The function
blocks are identical in operation.

The function block can be used for controlling the open and close states of a circuit
breaker, disconnector or an earthing switch. The function block also takes care of the
user-defined interlocking logics and has guaranteed opening and closing pulse widths
and forced open control operations for protection purposes. The open, close and
undefined states of an object can be indicated both remotely and locally by the
function block. Since the function block is mainly designed for circuit breakers, it will
issue specific alarm signals based on the condition monitoring features.

2. Description of operation

2.1 Configuration

2.1.1 General

The graphical presentation of the component in the MIMIC view is defined in the
Relay Mimic Editor while the logical connection to process data can be configured by
means of the Relay Configuration Tool.

2.1.2 Relay configuration

The time stamp values TIMOPEN and TIMCLOSE of the input signals BINOPEN
and BINCLOSE and the IV signal should be connected by means of the variables
“BixTime” and “BixIV” in the Relay Configuration Tool. If, for example, BI1 and BI2
are connected to BINOPEN and BINCLOSE, the connections shown in Figure 2
below could be used for TIMOPEN, TIMCLOSE and IV.

Figure 2. Example of connections for the IV, TIMOPEN and TIMCLOSE inputs

 Distribution Automation COCB_

2.2 Operation criteria

2.2.1 Interlocking

The interlocking allows open and close operations via the OPENENA and
CLOSEENA signals. The control operations are allowed if the interlocking signals for
the concerned operations are TRUE. By default, the corresponding operations are not
permitted provided the inputs are unconnected.

In addition, the system provides a general interlocking bypass mode (parameter

Control/General/Interl bypass) that overrides all interlocking signals of the control
function blocks, which means that the control function blocks will internally ignore
the status of the interlocking signals and permit any control operation.

Note! Interlocking bypass mode does not override blockings.

2.2.2 Protective open

The OPENDIR input (“Direct open”) can be used for protection purposes. This input
should not be confused with the direct open command (parameter V4 in control
settings) that can be given via serial communication. A rising edge (note that
command signals are edge triggered) on the active OPENDIR input causes an OOPEN
pulse that overrides the OCLOSE control pulse. The OPENENA signal does not affect
the protective open operation.

Usually the protection applications should be connected directly to relay output

signals. In this case, the open command pulse for the output relay lasts as long as the
controlling protective open signal is active. If the control block is bypassed in this
way, the closing operation during an active open command pulse should be prevented
by means of additional logic (for an example, see Figure 3 below).

Figure 3. Direct PROTECTIVE_OPEN output relay connection

7
 COCB_ Distribution Automation

However, this kind of configuration should be used with caution because the close
signal outputs from COCB are only blocked until the PROTECTIVE_OPEN signal
becomes non-active (for further clarification, see Figure 4). Thus, external logic
cannot prevent the close outputs from being activated. The close pulse activation
during an active PROTECTIVE_OPEN signal can only be eliminated by connecting
PROTECTIVE_OPEN also to the OPENDIR input. For more information, see
sections “Opening and closing pulse width” and “Opening and closing time
monitoring”.

2.2.3 Open operation

An open command can be issued locally, remotely or by the logic OPEN signal and
the corresponding actions must be enabled by the interlocking signal (OPENENA).
The function block can be controlled both via the basic remote communication and via
the local HMI. The open pulse is issued via the OOPEN output and the pulse width
can be defined by adjusting the actual setting parameter “Open pulse”.

The open operation is possible provided the object is not blocked by the interlocking
logic and the closing pulse OCLOSE is not active. In case that open operation is
attempted while OCLOSE is still active, object selection shows the message “Open
enable” in the MIMIC view. However, the opening operation causes interlocked state
until OCLOSE is deactivated. The interlocking enable signal state is checked on the
rising edge of the open signal and thus, if the interlocking signal blocks the open
signal after the rising edge, the blocking will not cancel the open operation. The
secured object control is a special case (see sections “Secured object control for
remote operation” and “Secured object control for local operation”) and does not
directly affect the logic control and the direct control of the object.

In contrast to protective open, the normal open operation is enabled if the OPENENA
signal is active, whereas the logic open control is enabled if the OPENENA signal is
active and the OPEN signal rises or if both the signals are activated at the same time.
If the interlocking is not used, the OPENENA signal should be active.

2.2.4 Close operation

A close command can be issued locally, remotely or by the logic CLOSE signal and
the corresponding action must be enabled by the interlocking signal (CLOSEENA).
The function block can be controlled both via the basic remote communication and via

8
 Distribution Automation COCB_

the local HMI. The close pulse is issued via the OCLOSE output and the pulse width
can be defined by adjusting the setting parameter “Close pulse”.

The close operation is possible provided the object is not blocked by the interlocking
logic and the opening pulse OOPEN is not active (see also section “Open operation”).
The interlocking enable signal state is checked on the rising edge of the close signal.
The secured object control is a special case and does not directly affect the logic
control and direct control of the object.

The normal close operation is enabled if the CLOSEENA signal is active, whereas the
logic close control is enabled if the CLOSEENA signal is active and the CLOSE
signal rises or if both the signals are activated at the same time. If the interlocking is
not used, the CLOSEENA signal should be active.

2.2.5 Logic command priority

Normally, the command priority is not a critical issue provided the interlocking
signals are strictly used. However, the design of internal control signals may cause
unexpected situations and therefore, the function block validates the logic commands
(OPEN, CLOSE) on the rising edge and gives them a certain priority. If the command
is enabled and the output pulse (OOPEN, OCLOSE) is not active, the command is
valid and the concerned output pulse will be started. Otherwise the command will be
ignored as shown in Figure 5 below.

OPEN

CLOSE

OOPEN

OCLOSE

Figure 5. Close command is not validated because the rising edge occurs during the
open command pulse
The internal command priority determines that the open command takes priority over
the close command. However, the OPENDIR signal on rising edge has the highest
priority and the command pulse for opening is always started. (Note that if the forced
pulse mode is not selected (i.e., selection is single pulse mode) and the object is
already in open state, the opening pulse will not be completed).

2.2.6 Object state

The object state is defined by the two digital inputs BINOPEN and BINCLOSE. The
debounces and short disturbances on an input are eliminated by filtering. The digital
input filtering time can be adjusted in the relay configuration separately for each

9
 COCB_ Distribution Automation

digital input used by the function block. For further information, refer to “Technical
Reference Manual, General”.

State BINOPEN BINCLOSE

Open ON OFF
Close OFF ON
Undefined 11 ON ON
Undefined 00 OFF OFF

2.2.7 Object state validity

The validity of digital inputs that indicate the object state is used as additional
information in indications and event logging. The IV signal is combined from the
validity of inputs BINOPEN and BINCLOSE. The non-active (FALSE) IV signal
shows that the input state is valid, while an active (TRUE) signal indicates the invalid
state. The interlocking is based on the signals OPENENA and CLOSEENA. Thus, if
the validity information is needed for blocking the control operations, additional user-
defined logic should be used. Refer to section “Opening and closing pulse width” to
see how the state affects the control command pulses.

2.2.8 Opening and closing pulse width

The type of the pulse width can be defined with the setting parameter “Fixed pulse”.
The function block provides two modes for characterizing the opening and closing
pulse widths. The default mode (“Variable pulse”) causes variable pulse width, which
means that the output pulse is deactivated when the object state shows that the
disconnector or circuit breaker has entered the correct state. This object diagnostics
can also be registered (see next section). The fixed pulse width mode (“Fixed pulse”)
always uses maximum pulse width, which is defined by a setting parameter (Open
pulse/Close pulse) set by the user.

The state checking can be defined with the setting parameter “Forced pulse”. The
default mode is “Forced pulse”, which means that the function block will issue
enabled command pulses regardless of the present object state. However, if the
“Single pulse” mode is active, the object will check whether the object state already
indicates the correct position so that it can ignore the command and the command
pulse. However, the steady LED indicator for control interlocking is on for 30 seconds
unless new select operation is done. If a command is given in the forced mode and the
object is already in the correct position, the maximum pulse width (setting parameter
Open pulse/Close pulse) will be used for the operation.

Note that if the IV input indicates an invalid state of the forced pulse, the function
block will internally use the forced pulse mode regardless of the setting.

2.2.9 Opening and closing time monitoring

The function block measures the opening and closing time of the object. The time
measurement starts when the function block activates the specific output pulse
(OOPEN or OCLOSE) and ends when the object state indicates that the object has
reached the correct state or when 100 s timeout has elapsed. Thus, the measured time
includes the reaction time plus the travel time. See the description for the function
block CMTRAV1 for further information about the travelling time measurements.
Note that the diagnostic measurements start when the object itself issues the open
command. Therefore, the OPENDIR input is used for activating the time measurement
for protective functions, which is illustrated in Figure 6 below.

used for protection functions

Figure 7. Time measurement for open and close commands

The alarm signal AOPEN or ACLOSE is activated if the opening or closing time
monitoring detects a time period greater than or equal to the alarm limit value. Both
the opening and closing time measurements have their own alarm limits (Open
alarm/Close alarm). When an alarm condition is detected, the function block issues
detailed indications of the alarms on the HMI and via the remote system. However, if
the alarm setting limits have been set to zero by the user, the alarm signals will not be
activated. The time measurements are still carried out even if the alarm option is
disabled.

The inputs TIMOPEN and TIMCLOSE are used for the time measurements of the
function block. The process data tells the exact change times of the rising (and falling)
edge(s) of each input and guarantees thus the time measurement accuracy regardless of
the function block execution interval. However, if the time inputs are not connected,
the time measurement accuracy depends on the execution interval of the function
block. The function block compensates the output relay delay and the system delays
internally by deducting them from the measured time. The parameters “Open
compens” and “Close compens” are used for compensating the specific output relay
delays of the opening and closing relays.

The latest opening time and closing time are recorded. Additionally, the function
block records the maximum opening and closing times. The recordings can be cleared
all at a time by the command “Regist clear”.

Distribution Automation COCB_

2.2.10 Inactive time monitoring

The inactive time calculation is performed for the open and close states of the objects.
If the inactive time value (in days) is greater than or equal to the limit value (“Inactive
alarm”) and the specified alarm moment (“Alarm time”, exact time value that day) is
at hand, the alarm signal AINACT and the respective notifications (alarm text on HMI
and remote alarm indications) will be activated. However, if the alarm setting limit
(“Inactive alarm”, S10) has been set to zero by the user, the alarm signal will not be
activated.

2.2.11 Cycle count monitoring

The cycle count value will be incremented when the digital input state changes
indicate a full cycle. Generally, one cycle is: close command -> closed -> open
command -> opened. If the cycle counter value is greater than or equal to the limit
value (parameter “Cycle alarm”), an alarm signal (ACYCLES) and the respective
notifications (alarm text on HMI and remote alarm indications) will be activated.
However, if the alarm setting limits have been set to zero by the user, the alarm signals
will not be activated.

2.2.12 Alarm signal acknowledgement

The alarm signal acknowledgement deactivates all active alarm signals of the function
block. The alarm signals can be simultaneously acknowledged by the rising edge of
the ACK signal, by a local menu command or by a remote command. If the ACK
signal is continuously active, new alarms are recognized and the corresponding alarm
signals are activated. Alarm signals remain active until the user acknowledges them or
resets the corresponding measured value (e.g. cycle count) by entering a new value.

Acknowledged alarm signals will be re-activated when the same error condition is
encountered again. The user should reset the appropriate alarm limit in order to get rid
of the particular alarm. The circuit breaker cycle counter, for example, will issue the
alarm signal continuously whenever a cycle count is increased over the cycle alarm
parameter value until the user resets the process cycle count value.

The following table describes supported monitoring alarm outputs and how they are
acknowledged:

13
COCB_ Distribution Automation

Monitoring alarm Active period

signal
AOPEN Opening signal remains active until an acknowledgement is issued
ACLOSE Closing signal remains active until an acknowledgement is issued
AINACT Active until the circuit breaker has been controlled or an
acknowledgement is issued
ACYCLES Active until the cycle count is cleared or an acknowledgement is issued

2.3 Interlocking bypass mode

The system includes a general interlocking bypass mode (parameter

Control/General/Interl bypass) that overrides all interlocking signals. Activating the
interlocking bypass mode activates the interlocking enable signals of the objects
controlled. Thus, all control operations are possible and the enable signals of the
controllable objects are not checked during the control operations. As long as the
bypass mode is active, the red interlocking LED on the HMI is blinking and
additionally, the special condition is indicated in the assisting window of the HMI.

Note! Interlocking bypass mode does not override blockings.

2.4 Recordings clear

The measured values recorded can be reset locally and remotely via object-related
clear commands.

2.5 Direct object control for remote operation

Via remote communication, open and close commands can be issued to the object
directly without pre-selection. A direct command is possible if the control position and
interlocking signals allow the operation. The event E24 or E25 is generated depending
on the command success.

2.6 Intermediate state suppression

If the state of an object is changed from close or open state to undefined state, the state
change event (E2 or E3) can be delayed by a certain time value defined by the
parameter “Event delay”. The event is appropriate for alarm purposes because it can
be sent to inform that the circuit breaker has not reached the correct state within a
reasonable time. If the correct state is reached within the defined delay, the
corresponding state change event is not sent at all. A delayed event is sent with the
original time stamp, i.e., the time stamp representing the time moment when undefined
state has been first time entered.

2.7 Secured object control for remote operation

2.7.1 Secured object control (LON)

The secured object control is an important feature of the communication protocols that
support horizontal communication (because the command reservation and interlocking
signals can be transferred by bus). All secured control operations require two-step
commands; a selection step and an execution step.

The secured object control is responsible for the following tasks:

• Command authority - Ensures that the command source is authorized to operate the
object
• Mutual exclusion - Ensures that only one command source at a time can control the
object
• Interlocking - Allows only safe commands
• Execution - Supervises command execution
The virtual LON input and output connections can be configured in the Relay
Configuration Tool while the actual LON network connections of the corresponding
signals are defined in the LNT tool.

During the selection step, the horizontal interlocking signals (virtual LON inputs) are
refreshed in order to guarantee the signal integrity. The refresh operation is executed
only provided the LON is selected as a communication protocol (parameter V18 at
channel 1) and the command timeout (parameter V19 at channel 1) is 1.5s or more.
The actual time for updating the virtual LON inputs is the command timeout minus
200 ms. If the command timeout is less than 1.5s, the secured object control is
accomplished as described in paragraph “Secured object control (SPA)” below.

12. Release command reservation

• The RESERVE output will be deactivated after the COCB output pulse is over

13. The “Command completed” event (E10) is sent as a confirmation of the reset

2.7.3 Event logging on command handling

The following facts should be considered regarding the logging of command handling
events. The command nack (E24) or ack (E25) will always follow the given local or
remote command. They should be considered as user interface responses. An
“unsuccessful” event (E28) is generated as a result of commands issued by digital
inputs, i.e. when a conflict occurs due to an interlocking enable signal or when the
forced mode is not selected and a command is given that requires the option.

2.8 Secured object control for local operation

Depending on the configuration of horizontal communication, the secured object

control can be based on SPA or LON solutions. Pressing the HMI control buttons “1”
and “0” of a locally selected object starts the required command select step which is
immediately followed by the start of the execution step, provided the selection stage
was successful. The local visual selection of an object in the MIMIC view, i.e.
pressing the select push-button, does not immediately cause the select step.

3. Parameters and events

3.1 General

• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for COCB1 is 120 and that for COCB2 121.

• The data direction of the parameters defines the use of each parameter as follows:
Data direction Description
R, R/M Read only
W Write only
R/W Read and write

• The different event mask parameters (see section “Control settings”) affect the
visibility of events on the HMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / HMI (LON)
Event mask 2 (FxxxV103/104) LON
Event mask 3 (FxxxV105/106) LON
Event mask 4 (FxxxV107/108) LON

For example, if only the events E3, E4 and E5 are to be seen on the HMI of the
relay terminal, the event mask value 56 (8 + 16 + 32) is written to the “Event mask
1” parameter (FxxxV101).
In case a function block includes more than 32 events, there are two parameters
instead of e.g. the “Event mask 1” parameter: the parameter “Event mask 1A”
(FxxxV101) covers the events 0...31 and “Event mask 1B”(FxxxV102) the events
32...63.

4. Technical data
Operation accuracies Pulse width accuracy and measuring accuracy:
• The accuracies depend on the function block execution interval (that can be
selected) and pulse width setting value (if the setting value is a multiple of
the execution interval). The symbol Tex denotes the execution interval in ms.
Open and close pulse widths:
• ± 2% of set value or ±10 ms (if the pulse width is a multiple of the execution
interval)
• ± 2% of set value or 0...Tex±10 ms (if the pulse width is not a multiple of the
execution interval)
Opening and closing time measurements:
• ± 2% of process pulse width or 0...Tex±10 ms
(Compensation parameters for measurements are 10 ms)
Opening and closing time measurements with high speed power output:
• ± 2% of process pulse width or 0...Tex±8 ms
(Compensation parameters for measurements are 7 ms)
Opening and closing time measurements when the TIMOPEN and TIMCLOSE
inputs are used:
• ± 2% of process pulse width or ±7.5 ms
(Compensation parameters for measurements are 10ms)
Opening and closing time measurements when the TIMOPEN and TIMCLOSE
inputs are used with high speed power output:
• ± 2% of process pulse width or ±5.5 ms
(Compensation parameters for measurements are 7 ms)
Configuration data Task execution interval (Relay Configuration Tool):
20 ms at the rated frequency fn = 50 Hz
