automatically after a specific period.

 If Master Station sends order (a) remote disconnect, status will switch to disconnected (0), no
matter which status is relay currently under. The physical status of relay is disconnected.
 If it is time for disconnection, which is configurable on meter, (b) disconnect time over will be
executed. Status will switch to disconnected (0), no matter which status is relay currently under.
The physical status of relay is disconnected.
 If Master Station sends order (c) remote connect, (c) or (h) will be executed based on current
HexView PC SW User Manual for HXE310 43 / 51

control mode.
 If it is time for connection, which is configurable on meter, (d) or (i) will be executed based on
current control mode.
 If status is connected (1) and load is over threshold, (f) overload disconnect will be executed
automatically and status will switch to ready for connected (3).
 If status is ready for connected with lock (2) or ready for connected (3), (e) manual reconnect
can be executed through long press on key for 3 seconds, and status will switch to connect (1).
 If status is ready for connected (3), it can switch to connected (1) through the execution of (k)
auto reconnect.
 Generally, (j) N overtime will be executed after specific times of overflow disconnection, then,
status switches to ready for connect (2).
 In emergency, (1) E overtime will be executed after specific times of overflow disconnection,
then, status switches to ready for connect (2), at the same time, E overtime flag will be set.
 If status is ready for connect (2) and there is E overtime flag, (m) E to N will be executed, when
emergency switches to normal situation, then, status switches to connected (1).
 If the working mode permits, (g) manual disconnect can be executed through long press on key
for 3 seconds, then, status switches to ready for connected with lock (2).

Control mode:

There are 4 modes: mode 0, mode1, mode 2, mode 3.

Mode 0: no operation can be executed, meter is under protection mode.

Mode 1: executable operations: a / b / c / d / e / f / g / j/ k / l / m / n

Mode 2: executable operations: a / b / e / f / g / h / i / j/ k / l / m / n

Mode 3: executable operations: a / b / c / d / e / f / j/ k / l / m / n

Mode 4: executable operations: a / b / e / f / h / i / j/ k / l / m / n

Power utilities can choose one of the four modes or switch from one mode to another while in

operation.

Parameters Definition On PC Software Interface:

Active parameters:

Active limiter threshold(A): overflow threshold of currently used relay

Active mode: it is in Emergency mode or Normal mode currently

Output state of disconnection: shows the actual physical state of the disconnection.

Control state of disconnection: shows the internal state of the disconnection

HexView PC SW User Manual for HXE310 44 / 51

Control mode of disconnection: Configures the behavior of the disconnection for all triggers.

Controlled by demand: if the disconnection is controlled by demand

Disconnect control scheduler: controllable time table of relay

Limit method: power threshold and current threshold is optional.

Normal mode

Table of normal limiter threshold: relay control threshold table

Min over threshold duration(s) is delayed time threshold, which means over limiter threshold “ Min

over threshold duration” seconds，relay will disconnected; and the default time is 30s；

Threshold for connection after disconnect is the delayed time of automatic connection after the relay

disconnected;

Allowed counts for auto reconnection [C1] is the allowed counts of automatic connection in the short

time;

Time threshold to clear C1 is the time after relay connected. C1 will clear if the relay no changing.

Therefore, Time threshold to clear C1 is a value must bigger than Min over threshold duration(s) and
HexView PC SW User Manual for HXE310 45 / 51

Threshold for connection after disconnect, otherwise the number of times will be cleared when the

relay not connects automatically yet after disconnection, and the allowed counts will be meaningless.

The objective of this function is let relay possesses the function of automatic connection, but the

number of times of connection cannot be too much in the short time.

Emergency mode

Table of normal limiter threshold: relay control threshold table under emergency mode

Min over threshold duration(s) is delayed time threshold under emergency mode, which means over

limiter threshold “ Min over threshold duration” seconds，relay will disconnected, and the default

time is 30s;

Threshold for connection after disconnect is the delayed time of automatic connection after relay

disconnected under the emergency mode;

Allowed counts for auto reconnection[C1] is the allowed counts of automatic connection in the short

time under emergency mode;

Time threshold to clear C1 is the time after relay connection under emergency mode; C1 will clear if

the state of relay is no changing.

The emergency mode is activated via the emergency profile defined by emergency profile id,

emergency activation time, and emergency duration.

An emergency_profile is defined by three elements: emergency_profile_id,

emergency_activation_time, emergency_duration.
HexView PC SW User Manual for HXE310 46 / 51

An emergency profile is activated if the emergency_profile_id element matches one of the elements

on the emergency_profile _group_id_list, and time matches the emergency_activation_time and

emergency_duration element:

emergency_profile ::= structure

emergency_profile_id: long-unsigned,

emergency_activation_time: octet-string,

emergency_duration: double-long-unsigned

emergency_activation_time defines the date and time when the emergency_profile activated.

emergency_duration defines the duration in seconds, for which the emergency_profile is activated.

When an emergency profile is active, the emergency_profile_active attribute is set to TRUE.

5.2.11 Modify keys

Master key is used for wrapping new Authentication key and Global key. It can not be changed.

Authentication key and Global key can be changed, before changing them be sure that the master key

is filled correctly. If the keys is changed, user should fill the new key when login HexView in menu
