3. Operation
The PS 451 multifunctional time-overcurrent protective Information is exchanged between the operator and the
device is one of a series of numerical protective devices. device by way of the integrated local control panel.
All device types in this series are equipped with a standard
local control panel. Figure 1 shows the basic hardware Each piece of information or each parameter is coded with
structure of the device. an “address” that consists of two two-digit decimal
numbers x and y. By changing x or y it is easily possible
to select any desired address and read out or even modify
the information stored at that address, if necessary (see
Chapter 6).
Parameters:
This group includes all setting values. It contains, for
example, the equipment identification data, the
configuration parameters for adapting the device
interfaces to the system, and the function parameters
for adapting the protective function to the process. All
values in this group are stored in non-volatile memory,
i.e., the values are preserved even if there is a power
failure.
Operation:
