2. Description of operation

2.1 Configuration

The function block measures phase currents by means of conventional current

transformers or Rogowski coils. The measuring devices and signal types for analogue
channels are selected and configured in a special dialogue box of the Relay
Configuration Tool.

When the analogue channels have been selected and configured in the dialogue box,
the inputs and outputs of the function block can be configured on a graphical
worksheet of the configuration tool. The phase currents IL1, IL2 and IL3 are connected
to the corresponding IL1, IL2 and IL3 inputs of the function block and, in the same
way, the digital outputs of the function block are connected to the output signals.

CMCU3 can be used with two or three current measurement channels. If only two
channels are available, the remaining third analogue channel input shall be left
unconnected. If this is the case, CMCU3 will adapt the setting "Current select"
automatically according to the connected inputs. Changing this setting will not be
possible unless all three inputs are connected.

2.2 Measuring mode

The function block operates on the numerically calculated fundamental frequency

component of the phase currents.

2.3 Operation criteria

The supervision function block CMCU3 detects interruptions in energizing circuits.

The user can select three-phase or two-phase operation with the parameter “Current
select”. The function block can also be set out of use by means of the parameter
“Operation mode”.

The function block supervises the energizing circuits by comparing the measured
phase currents. If one or two phase currents exceed the setting “High limit”, while the
measured phase current in the remaining one or two phases is below the setting “Low
limit”, the output ALARM is activated after the settable alarm delay.

The function block is disabled if all input currents are below the setting “Low limit”.

The ALARM output will reset automatically when the fault disappears.

2.4 Test mode

The user can activate the ALARM output of the function block with the control
parameter “Test ALARM” either locally via the MMI or externally via the serial
communication.

2.5 Registers

The function block records the phase current values required for later fault analysis at
the moment of the supervision alarm, i.e. when the set operate time delay (parameter
“Alarm delay”) has elapsed.

2.6 Resetting

The user does not need to acknowledge the ALARM output signal but it resets
automatically when the fault disappears.

The operation indicators and recorded data can be reset as follows:

Operation Recorded
indicators data
General parameter F001V011 1) X
General parameter F001V013 1) X X
Push-button C 1) X

Push-buttons C + E (5 s) X X

3. Parameters and events

3.1 General

• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for CMCU3 is 181.

• 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 MMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / MMI (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 MMI 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.
