SAFEN SECTION
This Safety Section should be read before commencing any work on the
equipment.
Hëalth and safety
The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to
ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them
in a safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the
equipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section.
Explanation of symbols and labels
The meaning of symbols and labels which may be used on the equipment or in the
product documentation, is given below.
Caution: refer to product documentation Caution: risk of electric shock

*Note:The term earth used throughout the product documentation is the direct
equivalent of the North American term ground.
Installing, Commissioning and Sewicing
A Equipment connections
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on this
equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safeiy.
The product documentation should be consulted before installing, commissioning or
servicing the equipment.
Terminals exposed during installation, cornmissioning and maintenance may
present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electricaHy isolated.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by al1
personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.
Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp
terminations to ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained
for safety. To ensure that wires are correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal
and tool for the wire size should be used.
Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth
terminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug
connected equipment. Omitting or disconnecting the equipment earth may
cause a safety hazard.
The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5 mm2, unless otherwise
stated in the technical data section of the product documentation.
Before energking the equipment, the following should be checked:
Voltage rating and ~olarity;
CT circuit rating and integriîy of connections;
Protective fuse rating;
Integrity of earth connection (where applicable)
Equipment operating conditions

The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.
Current transformer circuits
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced
may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation.
Extemal resistors
A
) Where external resistors are fitted to relays, these may present a risk of electric
shock or burns, if touched.
Batîery replacement
Where interna1 batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recornmended
A
) iype and be installed with the correct polarity, to avoid possible damage to the
equipment.
lnsulation and dielectric strength testing
A lnsulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the

end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to
discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected.
Insertion of modules and pcb cards
A These must not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment whilst it is energised,
since this may result in darnage.
Fibre optic communication
A
)
Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed
directly. Optical power meters should be used to deterrnine the operation or signal
level of the device.
Older Products
Electrical adjustments
A
A
Pieces of equipment which require direct physical adjustments to their operating
mechanism to change current or voltage settings, should have the electrical power
removed M o r e making the change, to avoid any risk of electric shock.
Mechanical adjustrnents
The electrical power to the relay contacts should be removed before checking any
mechanical settings, to avoid any risk of electric shock.
Draw out case relays
A
Removal of the cover on equipment incorporating electromechanical operating
elements, may expose hazardous live parts such as relay contacts.
insertion and withdrawal of extender cards
A
A
When using an extender card, this should not be inserted or withdrawn from the
equipment whilst it is energised. This is to avoid possible shock or damage
hazards. Hazardous Iive voltages may be accessible on the extender card.
Insertion and withdrawal of heavy current test plugs
A- When using a heavy current test plug, CT shorting links must be in place before
insertion or removal, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
Decommissioning and Disposai
A Decommissioning: The auxiliary supply circuit in the relay may include

capacitors across the supply or to earth. To avoid electric
shock or energy hazards, after completely isolating the
supplies to the relay (both poles of any dc supply), the
capacitors should be safely discharged via the external
terminais prior to decommissioning.
Disposal: It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water
courses is avoided. The product should be disposed of in a
safe manner. Any products containing batteries should have
them removed before disposai, taking precautions to avoid
short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of
operation, may apply to the disposal of lithium batteries.
Technical Specifications
Protective fuse rating
The recommended maximum rating of the external protective fuse for this
equipment is 6A, Red Spot type or equivalent, unless otherwise stated in the
technical data section of the product documentation.

APPLICATION NOTES
LFAA102 R5930
Page 1 of 1
The LFAA relays obtain information about the status of the circuit breakers, protection
relays and auxiliary plant by way of auxiliary contacts on the equipment. These
contacts switch a dc voltage to the LFAA which is fltered and stored to indicate the
state (open or closed) of the extemal contact. This information is used in the ladder
diagram software to determine the sequence and timing of the operation of the output
relays. The output relay contacts are voltage free and can be nomally open, normally
closed or change over.
Consult the scheme description for details of the application of any particular scheme.

Section 1 RECEIVING
Remove the relay from its container and inspect for obvious damage. If damage has
been sustained in transit, a claim should be made immediately to the transport
comanv concerned and a report sent to GEC Measurements, St. Leonards Avenue,
Section 2 HANDLING
The relay in its case is extremely robust and no special precautions are necessary.
However, to prevent the ingress of dirt, it is smngly advised that modules are not
removed from the case.
Section 3 STORAGE
If not required for immediate use, r e t m the relay to its original wrapper and carton
and store in a clean dry place. The silica gel unit supplied with relays delivered outside
the United Kingdom should be heated at 60 - 70°C for one hour before being replaced.
Section 4 INSTALLATION
Relays should be installed in a location free from excessive vibration. The relay cases
can be supplied for either rack or panel mounting.
4.1 Rack Mounting
Relays for rack mounting are supplied in cases designed for housing in standard
483mm (19 inch) racks.
4.2 Panel Mounting
Relays can be supplied for flush or semi-projecting panel mounting. Panels should be
vertical to within 5'. Dimensions, fixing details and cutout sizes for the cases are
shown in the relevant case outline drawing GM0008.
Flush mounted relays are inserted h m the front into the panel cutout and secured by
means of the M5 screws provided.
Semi-projecting mounting relays are fined with an extending collar and are secured
using the same M5 screws as those described for flush mounted relays.
When installation is complete the relay must be set up and cornrnissioned as described
in Section 8.

Section 5 EARTHING
Thë relay case earthing terminal on the rear of the relay case must be connected to
earth (ground).
Section 6 SPECIAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
A person's normal rnovements can easily generate electrostatic potential of several

thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when
handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage. Often the damage rnay not be
immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced.
The elemonic c-ts of GEC Measurements products are completely safe h m static
charge when housed in the relay case. Do not expose them to the nsk of darnage by
withdrawing modules unnecessaIily.
Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor
devices. However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following
precautions should be taken to preserve the high reliabiiity and long life for which the
equipment has been designed and manufactured:
Before rernoving modules from the relay, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic
potential as the equipment by touching the case.
Handle the module by its front plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board.
Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit tracks and connectors.
Do not pass the module to any person without k t ensuring that you are both at the
same electrostatic potential.
Place the module on an antistatic surface, or in a condutive surface which is at the
same potential as yourself.
Store or transport the module in an antistatic conductive bag. Antistatic conductive
bags are widely available.
More information on safe working procedures for al1 electronic equipment can be
found in BS5783 and IEC147-OF.
If you are making rneasurements on the intemal electronic circuitry of equipment in
service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist strap.
The wrist strap should have a resistance to ground between 500k to 10M Ohms. If a
wrist strap is not available, you should maintain regular contact with the case to
prevent the build up of static charge. Instrumentation used for making measurements
should be earthed to the case whenever possible.
It is strongly recornrnended that detaiied investigations on the electronic circuitry, or
modification work, should be carried out in a special handling area such as described
in BS5783 or IEC147-OF.

Section 1 RELAY IDENTIFICATION
TheLFAA relay is constructed using the GEC Measurernents M4 Multi-modular

Hardware. The following identification system is used:
1.1 Cases
The wmplete identification for a case or subrack (a subrack is a single tier housing) is
a 14 character coding. The first 4 characters are letters and the next 3 are digits. These
7 characters form the equipment reference. Together with the 8th and 9th characters,
which indicate the type of mounting, they describe the case assembly completely. The
rest of the coding is a 4 digit sequential number and a design issue letter.
The case terminais and their functions are shown on the extemal comection diagram
or application diagram. These are specified by a drawing number of the form LI0
WXYZnnn mm, where the fmt letter L in the example denotes the drawing size. 10
means externiil connection diagram and WXYZnnn is the equipment refenrnce. For
example the extemal comection diagrams for the LFAA 102 relay are numbered as
L1OLFAA102mn
1.2 Schemes
Where an auxiliary subrack forms part of a more complex scheme, i.e. in conjunction
with other GEC Measurernents equipment, a coding compnsing 2 letters and 10 digits
is used. The related scheme or system diagrams are coded L12L00000000 or
L14L00000000 where the first letter, L, in the example denotes drawing size. The
following two digits 12 and 14 denote tender or contract diagram respectively. The 4th
letter denotes the type of relay casing us& L represents the M4 multi-rnodular case
system. This and the digits following the coding are required for complete
identification of the scheme.
1.3 Modules
Modules are identifieci by a 10character code. This coduig, which is known as a 2
alpha coding, is of the fom:
The identifier is marked on a strip fitted into the lower front extrusion of the module.
The first two characiers are always GM for the M4 Muiti-modular Hardware.
Together with the next 4 digits they specify the type of the module. The next 3
characters represent a sequential number and vary according to minor variations such
as the rating of the module. The last letter is a design suffm letter.
The position of a module in a subrack is designated by a number. Module 1 in an
equipment is the module at the left-rnost position of the top subrack, viewing h m the
fiont of the equipment. The remaining modules are numbered sequentially from left to
right, and then f m top to bottom of the case. The module number is marked on a
smp fitted into the top front extrusion of the module. The case also has numbered
smps fitted which indicate the position of each module.

The WAA relays are housed in a single tier, 4U (178mm) high, rack or panel
munting case. The case has been particularly designed for adequate screening of high
speeû e l m n i c circuitxy. The whole case including the front cover is made in steel. A-
The relay is of modular design and modules are locaîed and slide in grooves in plastic
insulating material. Interposed between the plastic grooves and the outer case are two
N1size upper and lower aluminium plates which are insulated from the outer case.
Each module has a complete aluminium side plate which provides both mechanical
strength and electrical screening to the electronic circuitry. The side plates are
elecmcally connecta! to the upper and lower plates by means of spring clips. This
interna1 screen is wmected to the case at a single earthing point at the top of a terminal
block. The arrangement gives a Faraday cage effect within the outer case. The purpose
is to divert ail electromagnetic noise and interference h m inter-module couplhg via a
low impedance path to a single earthing point.
The LFAAlOl consists of 5, and the LFAA102 of 6, modules and a hinged front
panel:

The arrangement diagrams show the relative positions of the modules within the case.
Extemal connections for output contacts and status inputs are made via standard 28
way MIDûS connectors mounted on the rear of the relay.
There is no back plane wiring in the relay. All inter module wiring is done by means
of a 64 way ribbon cable (the UO bus) behind the hinged front panel. By this means
ail the electronic signals and intemal power rails between modules are spaced as far as
possible fiom the incoming wiring. As show in Figure 1, appendix the VO bus mns
dong the front of the modules and is terminated at the frontpanel assembly.
Connections are made to the modules by a two part hsulation displacement connecter
(IDC). Modules are locked in position by two horizontal bars mounted on the rear of
the front plate.
The hardware architecture is shown in Figure 2, Appendix .The microp~~~essor
module controls all the modules on the I/O bus.

The power supply module (Figure 3, Appendix) is a size 2 module containing one
printed circuit board.
The function of the module is to supply four internal dc voltage rails from the single
auxiliary dc input supply. It is a switched mode power supply design and the output
rails are N l y isolated h m the input.
Externai connections are made via a 28 way MIDOS comector. The power supply
output rails are distributed to the other modules in the equiprnent via the VO bus. The
four internai voltage rails are:
+6.5V This is regulated to +5 V locdly in each of the inputIoutput modules to
power the logic circuitry.
f19.W The dual voltages used in other relays in the standard hardware range,
where they are regulated in respective modules where necessary to
fl5V for analogue circuitxy (not used in the LFAA relays), or to
f12V for the RS-232 interface and some fibre optic devices in other
relays.
+UV This is used unregulated to switch the output relays.
An under-voltage monitoring circuit is ernployed within the power supply module. If
the voltage on any rail is out of tolerance, a power supply fail signal is asserted on the
VO bus to disable the relay. An alarm output relay inside the power supply module is
also de-energized. The alarm output relay has one nonnally open contact and one
normaily closed contact which are brought out to the MIDOS connecter.

This is a size 2 module and contains two printed circuit boards (Figure 4, appendix).
Each module has fourteen pcb mounted miniature hinged armaturerelays. The
contacts are wired to a 28 way MIDûS connecter for extemal connection. See the
appropriate scherne documentation for the terminal allocation.
Each module has an address which is set by the positions of jumper links JM 1 and
JM 2 on the pcb. The States of the output relays are controlled by 8 - bit data latches.
Data is written into the &ta latches when the address of the module is selected and a
strobe signal asserted by software on the VO bus.

The module takes the +6.5 V and +24V supplies from the VO bus. The +6.5 V is
regulated to +5 V for Iogic circuitry on the board The +24V is used to drive the
output relays.
AU the output relays are held de-energized during power failure or hardware reset
conditions. This prevents incorrect contact operations during power-up, powerdown
and reset conditions.

This is a size 2 module and contains one printed circuit board.
As shown in Figure 5 (appendix), the module incorporates a powerful 16- bit
mimprocessor (Intel 80186) featuring integrated on-chip peripherals. These
peripherals include a timer unit with threeprogrammable timers, a direct mernory
access @MA) unit, a programmable i n t m p t controller unit ( 1 0 , and an address
decoder unit.
Eight 28 pin JEDEC memory sockets ane provided. For the WAA relay, the memory
sockets are populated with RAM, EEPROM, and EPROM giving a total of 208
kilobytes of memory. The module incorporates a watchdog timer to ensue orderly
restart in the event of a system crash. An RS-232 compatible serial intdace contro11e.d
by a universal synchronous/asynchronousreceiver transmitter (USART) allows serial
communication with the mimprocessar. The interface is normally brought out to a 25
way D-type female connector at the front panel for easy access. For mare permanent
connections to modems etc., the interface can be directed to a second 25 way D-type
female connecter mounted on the rear of the case. This is done by moving the position
of a jumper link on the printed circuit board. Please see Table 2 for the pin
connections of îhe rear mounted connector. The pin-outs of the h n t panel serial
connector are given in Table 4. The interface cable should be of 24 AWG gauge and
shielded The cable should be provided with metal or metal impregnated connector
hoods. We recomrnend the cabie shield to be connected to the frame (protective)
ground of the connecting terminal. There is no electrical isolation on the serial port
An extemal isolation barrier with transient suppressors should be used if the
communication is to be over a long distance or if the earth potential of the connected
equipment cm differ from that of the relay.

The input module of the LFAA has 26 inputs on 2 printed circuit boards. Opto-
isolated couplers are used to provide isolation between the external supply and the
relay intemal supply. To reduce power dissipation caused by current flowing in the
opto-input circuitry a strobing technique is adopted which only allows current to flow
into the opto-input circuitry when the stanis inputs are being read Each module
consists of 2 printed circuit boards of 13 inputs and one common r e m . Each board
also has 3 dummy inputs,set by plugs and sockets on the board, to make the total 16,
which is the size of the relay data bus. The numbering of the inputs on the second
board therefore starts at 17. Connections to extemal wiring are made via a 28 way

should be used if the communication is to be over a long distance or if the earth
potential of the connected equipment can differ h m that of the relay.
A potentiometer is made available through a small circular hole adjacent to the lcd. It
is used as a contrast control for the lcd and may be trimmed to optimise the lcd

Section 1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Thé functional aspects of the relays are govemed by the scheme logic,which is
encoded in software in the fom of a ladder diagram. Cornmon elements of the relay
operation, such as reading data h m the status inputs, driving the output relays,
running the tllners and handling the user interface are perfonned by the operating
system software. For a functional description of a particular scheme, see the
appropriate scheme documentation.
In addition to the scheme logic the LFAA relays include self m o n i t o ~ gand test
facilities and remote access via an RS-232 serial link
Section 2 SELF MONITORING
The LFAA relays include a number of self monitoring features designed to prevent
hardware or other fatal mrs causing maloperation of the relay. The self monitoring
software locks out the relay and reports the enor when a fatal e m r is detected. The
watchdog timer and self monitoring software also detect temporary non-fatal emrs
and recover the relay operation by resetting the system.
Power-on diagnostic tests are carried out automatically by the relay when it is first
switched on. Fmtly there are system checks on the main relay components, i.e.
watchdog timer, mimprocessor, interrupt controller, DMA conîroller and timers.
Configuration checks are then canied out on memory components to ensure the
c m type of memory is present and properly located Randorn access m e m q
(RAM) is then checked by readfwrite tests to each location. Erasable programmable
read only memory (EPROM) is checked by checksum tests. Electrically erasable
programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is checked by fmt loading the contents
to RAM, then copying the data back to EEPROM. The power fail software relays and
none volatile counters are then checked by a direct comparison between RAM and
EEPROM, and the settings by checksum tests on the EEPROM. Any error detected
results in a message appearing on the relay display, and the software will wait for the
left arrow key to be pressed before continuing.
In addition to the power-on diagnostic tests, there are a number of system checks
which monitor the operation of the relay on a continuous basis. These include RAM
and EEPROM readlwrite tests and EPROM and EEPROM checksum tests.
Once an error has been detected in RAM or EPROM, a message containing an error
code is reported on the h n t panel liquid crystal display (lcd). The relay inoperarive
alarm output contact also closes to indicate the failure. The system must then either
lock out or attempt a recovery depending on the type of error. In either case the self
monitoring software forces a system reset via the watchdog circuitry so that the
system can be brought back to a defined starting state. If an e m r is detected in
EEPROM, a message stating the area of EEPROM affected is displayed on the lcd, but
the relay continues to operate.
Please read Chapter 9 for details of the error codes for the various causes of failure
and actions to be taken when failure occurs.

Section 3 TEST FACILITIES
A number of manually operated test facilities are pmvided through the front panel
operator interface. The States (on/off) of each status input and output relay can be
displayed without removing the h n t cover, and the state of each output relay can be
changed with the front cover removed and provided conditions in the ladder software
release a security interlock.
The test socket also has eight ïTL inputs. Seven of these input lines are connected in
parallel with the seven keys at the front panel. This can be used to emulate keystrokes
at the front panel. This pennits the use of a programmable secondary injection test set
to issue operator comrnands for data dumps or setting changes in an interactive
manner. Most commissioning,routine testing and fault finding operations cm then be
performed automatidy to Save Iine outage time. Please see Chapter 4 for detailed pin
comections of the test socket. &
Please see Chapter 6 for details of the test option functions.

Section 4 PRINT FACILITY
Wonnation stored in the relay can be p ~ t e out d via the parallel port or the serial port
at the front panel, or the serial port at the rear of the relay by issuing a print command
(See Chapter 6 for operating details and Chapter 4 for the pin-outs of the parallel and
Section 5 REMOTE ACCESS VIA AN RS-232 SERIAL LINK
A remote access facility is provided which allows an operator to communicate with the
relay using a visual display unit (VDU)or a personal computer. The facility exnulates
the front panel keypad and Icd and so allows access to the command menu. This
means the user may intenogate the relay rernotely for infanation and to change the
settings.
The LFAA relays have an RS-232serial port. Two 25-way D-type connectors axe
provided for the serial port, one on the front panel and the other at the back of the
relay. The serial port is normally connected to the front panel connector. The relay
glass cover needs to be rernoved to gain access to the front panel serial port.
For permanent connection to a personal computer or visual display terminal, either
directly or via a modem, the position of a jumper on the microcornputer module (see
Chapter 4 for de&) can be changed to divert the serial port to the connector at the
back. The serial port can also be used to drive a serial printer.
Please see Chapter 4 for pin connections of the front and rear serial interface
connectors and Chapter 7 for details of the remote access facility.
The RS232 seriai port is not electrically isolated For permanent connections extemal
transient suppressors or isolation barriers should be used.

Section 1 INTRODUCTION
The WAA auto reclose relay software is divided into 3 main groups: the system
software, the logic controller software and the scheme logic. The system software is
not application dependent and is used for aU multi-rnodular hardware applications. It
consists of various diagnostic, debugging, inpuî/output and multi-tasking handling
facilities. It provides a common software environment within which different
application programs can be developed and operated
The logic controller software acts as the interface between the ladder diagram and the
system software, handling the input and output data, calls to the ladder diagram,
tirning functions and the user interface.
The ladder diagram defines the scheme logic and the application specific text for the
user interface.
---
Section 2 SYSTEM SOFTWARE
2.1 Multi-Tasking Executive (MTE)

The Multi-Tasking Executive (MTE) is a collection of features which allows a number
of real-time application functions to be handled simultaneously. It operates by letting
the application programmer break down the application program into separate tasks.
Each task is assigne. a relative primity. The executive allows only one task to be run
at any instant. Other tasks which are activated are stored in queues if they cannot be
executed irnmediately. The executive is also capable of letting a higher priority task
pre-empt a lower priority one.
The multi-tasking executive controls the real-time operation of the application
software. Its major advantage is that once the different tasks of an application have
b e n identifid and their interactions defined, software development of individual task
programs can then be programmed as if it was a single task program. The actual
handling of task execution and priority scheduling is left to be handled by the multi-
tasking executive.
2.2 Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
. The Basic T/O System provides a complete interface between the application software
and the relay hardware. It is a set of hardware driver routines which allow the
application programmer to control and transfer data to and from I/ûdevices easily.
With the help of the BIOS software, the application programmer no longer needs to
have a full understanding of how the I/O devices work but what the devices should
do. It also helps to make the application programs harrlware independent so that a
modification in the hardware will only require an update on the BIOS software and not
the application programs. In doing so, it ensures portability and stability of application
software.
LFAA 102
Page 2 of 8
The BIOS includes I/O device drivers fm the following:

* - Opto-isolated status input
* Relay output
* Serial port
* ParalleWtest port
* lcddisplay
* Keypad input
* Analog input
2.3 Power-On Diagnostics / Self-Monitoring
M e r power up, the system software perfanns diagnostic checks on the following
hardware wmponents:
* Watchdog timer
* Microprocessor
* Intempt controlier
* Timer
* DMAcontroller
* EPROM
* RAM
The relay locks itself out if any of the power-on diagnostics fails. This disables a l l
relay functions. An error message is displayed on the lcd display and the 'Relay-
Inoperative' alarm contact is closed.
The system software consists of a number of self-monitoring routines which allow
EPROM and RAM to be checked periodically. If a failure is detected, the power-on
diagnostics are repeated to confirm the failure before the relay locks out. An
application program can dso incorparate specid self-monitoring ~ U M ~specificS to
the particular application. Depending on the types of failures, the application program
can have the options of resemng the relay to try to recover from the failure, repeating
the power-on diagnostic tests for confirmation of failure conditions, or locking-out the -_.
relay completely.
In the LFAA relay, the RAM and the EPROM are checked wntinuously.
2.4 Rd-'lime Monitor
The Real-Tirne Monitor runs as a low-priority task. It is used mainly at the software
development stage. It consists of a number of standard and application-specific
functions which allow the user to perform red-time debugging through a visual
display terminal. The standard functions include examining and changing memory and
UO ports' contents while the application program is running.
The real-tirne monitor is normally switched off in the final product software and not
available to the user.
R-5930
Chapter 6
Page 3 of 8
The off-line monitor provides a number of off-line debugging facilities. It allows the
user to examine and to modify the contents of registers, mernory and VO ports, to set
break points, to single step and to execute a program.
The off-line monitor is used mainly during the software development phase. Special
instructions are required for gaining access to the off-line monitor functions. The off
line monitor is therefore transparent to the user.
Section 3 LOGIC CONTROLLER SOFTWARE
The logic controller operating system handles the interface between the scheme logic
and the system software. It processes the status input information, updates the relay
outputs and conuols the timing and operator interface. It also performs checks on the
electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM).
The following initialisation procedures are perfonned on power up :

AU settings stored in EEPROM are copied into the relay's working memory area and
checked to be in range. If a setting is out of range it is replaced by the value qua1 to
the bottom of the range.
The power fail flags and non-volatile counter contents are downloaded from
EEPROM.
The semngs, power fail fiags and non-volatile counter contents are reloaded back to
the EEPROM for checking.
Al1 filtered inputs, filter values, ten ms copies, flags and outputs are set to the OFF
state. The timers and volatile counters are initialised
The intempt coniroller is initialised and all tasks are activate..
The EEPROM is checked by comparing its contents with the copies just downloaded
to RAM, and performing a sum check on the semngs.
Scheme Operation
The interrupt controller signals a top priority task every 2 ms, which reads and Nters
the status inputs, calls the fast section of the scheme logic and updates the output
relays. Every 10 ms it perfonns the timer routines and signals an exchange to call the
slow section of the scheme logic. Every 250 ms another exchange is signalled which
tests the a l m flags and if any are set, turns on the appropriate le& either steady or
flashing, and updates the display. Further tasks wait for a key press and update the
display accordingly, refresh the data in RAM and check EPROM, EEPROM and
RAM.
LFAA102
Service Manuai Chapm 6

3.2.1 Opto-Isolated Status Inputs

The status inputs are read by a call to the BIOS, where a rnajonty of 3 sampling
technique is used to reduce the effects of high frequency interference. The result is
retumed to the operating system, where further filtering is applied. Filter times for
both pick up and drop off are entered in the ladder diagrarn. Typically pick up filter
times will be 10 to 16ms, and drop off tirnes 1Oms. These times make the relay
immune to power frequency interference. If the pick up tirne is lOms the input must be
on for 5 consecutive sample paiods before the on state is accepted by the software.
The sampling routine integrates the sarnples, such that if one sample is off during the
lûm, another on sample at 12ms will cause the input to be accepted as on.
3.2.2 Relay Outputs
The ladder diagram software produces one word per output module,wherein the state - *
of each output relay is encoded as a bit. If the bit is 0, the relay is off, and if the bit is
1 the relay is on. The relay outputs are updated every two milliseconds by passing the
appropriate word to the BIOS.
The timer routines are run every 10 ms, before the slow section of the ladder diagram
is enabled. The ladder diagram software sets or clears flags to enable, start and stop
the timers. Each tirner has three flags: input, output and status. There are three types
of timer, each with different behaviour: delayed pick-up, delayed drop-off and pulse.
When the input to the timer is off, the ladder sets all three flags off. Only the Input
flag is turned on by the ladder. When the b e r routine detects that the Input flag is on
it tests the Output flag and if this is off it tests the status flag. If the Status flag is off it
loads the setting into the timer value area in memory, turns the Status flag on and
decrements the timer value. If the status flag is on, the timer value is decremented.
This process is repeated every lOms until the b e r value is zero, or the ladder tums --
the timer off. When the timer value reaches zero and the Input fiag is still on, the
output is tumed on. The ladder diagrarn reads the output flag as the input to the next
element of ladder code.
3-2.3.2 Delayed dropoff
When the input to the timer is on, the ladder sets al1 three flags on. Only the input flag
is turned off by the ladder. When the timer routine detects that the input flag is off it
tests the output flag and if this is on it tests the status flag. If the status fiag is on it
loads the setting into the tirner value area in memory, turns the status fiag off and
decrements the timer value. If the status flag is off, the tirner value is decremented.
This process is repeated every lOms until. the timer value is zero, or the ladder turns
the timer on. When the timer value reaches zero and the input flag is still off, the
output is tumed off. The ladder diagram reads the output flag as the input to the next
element of ladder code.
R-5930
Chapter 6
Page 5 of 8
3.2.3.3 Pulse
When the input to the timer is on, the ladder sets the input flag on and tests the status
flag. If the status flag is off the output flag is tumed on. Only the input flag is turned
off by the ladder. When the timer routine detects that the output flag is on it tests the
status flag. If the status flag is off it loads the setting into the timer value area in
memory, tums the status flag on and decrements the timer value. If the status flag is
on, the timer value is decrementeà This p e s s is repeated every lOms until the timer
value is zero. When the tirner value reaches zero the output flag is turned off. If both
the input and output flags are off the status flag is tumed off. The ladder diagram
rads the output fïag as the input to the next element of ladder code.
Operata Interface
The operator interface software reads the front panel keypad and displays messages on
the liquid crystal display. It operates on a menu principle. As a key is pressed, the
input is software de-bounced and checked for validity. The keypad input selects the
menu comrnand and controls the movement around the menu. The lcd is updated
when a key is pressed, or every 250111s if no key is pressed. A full description of the
operator interface is given in Chapter 7.
Front Panel, lcd and Keypad
The front panel irnplementation covers the pressing of keys and the display of data on
the liquid crystal display. The software waits for a key to be pressed and then calls the
correspondingkey checking software which will implement that key input by giving
the relevant display and/or action.
Paralle1Port
The parallel port allows relay data to be sent to a parallel printer. The software
supports the Centronic parailel printer protocol. The user selects the parallel port. The
software checks if the printer is connected and working during printing. If the printer
is disconnected or fails, a message to this effect is displayed, and the software waits
until the printer is wmking again, the left m w key is pressed or the software times
out after 15 minutes.
When not in the pnnt cornmand mode, the parallel port works as a parallel
input/output port for testing purposes. The test port is intended for working with
computer based injection test equipment. Seven input lines are pmvided to allow the 7
fiont panel keys to be emulated.
The serial port can be used to drive a serial printer. It also allows a user to log on to
the relay and to interrogate the relay using a personal computer or visual display
terminal instead of using the front panel keypad and display. Once logged on, the port
is irnplemented as ifit was the h n t panel. The software redirects the output to the
port and translates remote key presses into front panel keypad inputs. This can be
viewed therefore as an emulation of the front an el oDerator interface.
LFAAlûî R-5930

' Section 4 SCHEME LOGIC
The scheme logic (i.e. what the relay does) is presented in the form of a ladder
diagram. The ladder diagram is produced on a separate piece of software running on
an IBM PC.It presents the scheme logic in the form of contacts, coils, counters and
timers which the scheme designer can arrange to effect any desired scheme.
The ladder is arranged in a series of pages of 6 rows by 7 columns of elements. In
operation, the software scans each page, starting at the top left hand corner and
proceeding down column 1, then moving on to colurnn 2 etc. until the bottom right
hand element is reached. The right hand colurnn consists of coils :ie. the software
representation of output relays and le&, software relays and counter coils. The
remaining 6 colurnns contain software contacts, counter comparisons and timers
In operation the left hand side of the page can be considered as a positive supply rail,
_--.
and any contact which is made, any timer whose output flag is on or any counter
cornparison which is m e will comect the positive to the next element on the right.
Any contact which is open, any timer whose output flag is off or any counter
cornpanson which is not m e will not connect the positive to the next element on the
right, which will therefore be off. When the right hand column is reached, the result
of al1 the elements to its left is applied to the coil, i.e. it is turned on or off, or a
counter value may be changed
Inputs
Up to 96 inputs (3 modules of 2 x 16 channels each) can be accomrnodated in the
ladder. They appear as open or closed contacts, the contact king represented by a
filled in circle. The contact position is for the input not energized
There are two types of output in the ladder: Relays and Light Emimng Diodes (ied).
Relays
Up to 96 relay outputs (6 modules of 16 relays each) can be accomrnodated. Note that
not al1 the output contacts are available as each module is wired out through the 28
way MIDOS terminal block. The coil is represented by a symbol in the ladder
diagram, which shows the output relay name and the relay reference number in
hardware. Contacts are shown in the ladder as normally open or normally closed, the
contact being represented by an open circle. The contact position is for the output not
energised Note that the contacts in the ladder diagram do not correspond to any actual
relay contacts.
Light emitting diodes
Two leds are available in the ladder. The OUT OF SERVICE led will normally be
associated with an out of service relay and inputs to switch the LFAA in and out of
service. The RELAY HEALTHY led wili normally be connected directly across the
ladder, so as to be permanently on. If a hardware or software failure occurs,so that the
ladder software does not run, the led will go out.
LFAAlo2 R-5930
Page 7 of 8
4.3 Software Relays

There are three types of software relay: normal, power fail and blocking.
4.3.1 Normal software relays
Up to 2048 software relays are available. They are represented as coils and contacts in
the ladder diagram, but are not associated with any hardware device.
4.3 -2 Power fail software relays
Up to 64 Power fail software relays are available. They are non-volatile, the state of
the coil being saved when power is removed and restored when power is re-applied to
the relay.
.a- 4.3.3 Blocking software relays
There are three blocking software relays: settings, resets and outputs. When on they
effect the foliowing menu functions:
4.3.3.1 Block settings software relay
Revents access to the change semngs group of the user interface, or if the menu is
aùeady in this group (ie. semngs are being changed) when the block settings sofnivare
relay turns on, the new settings cannot be updated on leaving the group.
4.3.3.2 Block resets software relay
Prevents access to the reset counters group of the user interface, or, if the menu is
already in this group (Le. counters are king enabled for resetting) when the block
resets software relay nuns on, counters cannot be reset on leaving the group.
4.3.3.3 Block output test software relay
Prevents the output relays being tested. The state of the relay is still shown on the
upper line of the display, but the lower line displays TEST BLOCKED and the relay
state cannot be changed. If an output relay is being tested when the block output test
softwarerelay tums on, the output relay under test will imrnediately revert to its
correct state.
4.4 Function Links
Up to 64 function links are available. They appear as contacts in the ladder diagram
which can be changed by entering the appropriate key presses through the keypad.
They are used to configurethe scheme logic to a particular requirement.
Up to 48 b e r s are available. A timer can be either delayed pick up, delayed drop off
or pulse, and settings can be either fixed or user adjustable with setting entry through
the keypad.
LFAA102 R-5930
Page 8 of 8
4.6 Counters
Counters have 2 sections: coils, which consist of a value which can be changed by an
action in the ladder, and comparisons, where a coil value is wmpared with a setting
and an action performed if the cornparison is me.
4.6.1 Counter coiis
Up to 48 coils are available. 24 are volatile, the contents of which are lost in the event
of power being removed from the relay, and 24 are non-volatile, the contents being
saved when power is removed and restored when power is re-applied to the relay.
Counter mils only appear in column 7 of the ladder.
4.6.2 Cornparisons
The coil value can be compared with target settings that can be either fixed or user
adjustable with setting entry through the keypad. The cornparison can be for the value 4-
to be qua1 to, p a t e r than or equal to, or less than or qua1 to the target value.
Counter comparisons can appear in colurnns 1 to 6 of the ladder.

Section 1 INTRODUCTION
The operator interface of the LFAA relays consists of a 2 line by 16character liquid
crystal display (lcd), a 7 key keypad and a set of 4 indicating light ernitting diodes
(leds). The layout of the front panel is show in Figure 12, Appendix.
The lui displays the majority of information for the operamr interface. It displays the
text of alarm messages, settings etc..
The keypad is used to implement the operator interface commands which will be
described later. The seven keys consist of 4 direction keys, up, down, left and right, a
SET key, a SELECï/RESET key and an ACCEPT/READ key. With the front cover in
position only the SELECï/RESETkey and the ACCEFVREAD key are accessible.
The depression of any key will generate one action of that key. However if the key is
held depressed, it will automatically repeat the action after a short time interval. The
function of each of the keys is as follows:
Up key: move up in the menu, select previous setting item or increase setting
value.
Down key: move down in the menu, select next setting item or decrease setting
value.
Left key: move left in the menu.
Right key: move right in the menu.
SET key: update setting changes or confimi actions.
A C C E F T W key: select alaxms, counters, semngs, input or output states or the
test timer option.
SELECT key: Consecutively display enabled alarms, counters, settings, input or
output states or select the timer for the test timer option.
RESET key: Ignore semng changes.
The indicating lamps are used to indicate the state of the relay at any time. They
consist of a relay healthy lamp, an out of service lamp and two a l m lamps.
The relay healthy lamp appears in the ladder diagrarn, arranged so that it is always on,
unless special circumstances require it to be turned off. Provided it is on in the ladder,
it is triggered regularly by the mimprocessor and will rernain on unless there is a
failure of an interna1 component or software which causes the rnimprocessor to
operate incomtly when this lamp will turn off.
The out of service lamp is tmed on and off within the ladder diagrarn. To indicate
that the relay has been taken out of service by an external input it will be stably on.
The two alarm lamps can be stably on or flashing, to indicate that an alann in any one
of four sets of alanns has been enabled.

Section 2. MENU SYSTEM
The operator interface operaies on a menu type system which uses a harizontal inx-
like structure with the various functions grouped under their relevant branch. This
allows easy access to any function without total knowledge of the capabilities of the
relay. The default level is the top of the tree and displays the relay title as entered in the
ladder diagram. The menu will change to the default level after fifteen minutes of
inactivity on the keypad. This movement to the default position will abort any changes
that were current at the time.
The menu consists of 5 levels, these k i n g &fault level, group level, function level,
attribute level and change level. At each of these levels the menu may have several
options or branches. The user may change option or branch by using the up and down
arrow keys and may change levels by using the left and right arrow keys. The group
level divides the menu into groups of common functions. The function level gives the --.
,
functions in a group. The amibute level gives the value or setting of the selected
function and the change level allows the value or setting to be changed.
The lcd indicates the current position of the menu, in the form of a text message.
If the right arrow key is pressed at the default level then the menu will move to the
first group. The user then has the option of changing groups (up or down) or entering
the current group (right). When moWig up or down in the menu, if there are no more
options above or below then the menu wraps round to the lowest or highest option
respectively in the given function or group. When the group is entered the menu will
be at the fmt option in the group. Again the options are to move up or down the
options or into a function. This procedure continues until the right hand edge of the
menu is reached. Different functions have different right hand limits.
If the left arrow key is pressed the menu will move to the previous level. Thus at a
given function, pressing the left arrow key wili move to the group of which that
function is a member. Continued depression of the left arrow key will move to the
default level.
If the ACCEPT/READ key is pressed at the default level the menu moves to the
viewing group which allows the following operations to be perfonned using a
combination of the AC(3EPT/READ and SELE(JT/RESETkeys:
Read any enabled alarms
Read counter contents
Read settings
Read input States
Read output States
Test timers
Figures 13 and 14, appendix, show part of a typical operator interface tree menu
structure.

Repeated presses of the ACCEPT/READ key will then scroll through all the remaining
options and r e m to the default display.
Thë vanous positions of the menu have different purposes and these are as follows:
Indications -These positions indicate the group or function position of the menu or the
current state of the measurand or statistic. Where a value or state that is
changing is displayed, the display will refresh with a new value every
250 milliseconds.
Settings - ïhese positions indicate the c m n t value of a relay setting and allow the
setting to be changed. The indication of whether a change rnay be made
is by means of either a flashing underline altemating with the value, or a
flashing up and down arrow.
Actions - These positions indicate than an action will be performed when a
particular key is pressed. In most cases the action will be confirmed by
-
pressing another key afterwards. The menu will prompt the user to press
the appropriate key to c o d m the action, or another key if the action is
not to be canied out. This prevents commands king executed
inadvertently.
Accepting - These positions generally follow setting changes, before updating or
ignoring the changes.
The operation of each type of position will be described in more detail later.
Actions
Where certain cxrmmands are to be actioned the menu will indicate that the right arrow
key should be pressed. In some commands there is a check to c o n b that the
command is to be actioned. This requires the user to press the SET key. Once
actioned, the menu will retum to the display that indicates the cornmancl may be
performed.
Semngs
The relay settings are found at the right hand edge of the menu in the relevant group.
On entering the attribute level of the function the setting title and value will be
displayed. When a setting is king displayed a further depression of the nght arrow
key will allow the setting to be changed, indicated either by the value alternating with
an underline, or by a flashing up or down mow. Changing the setting is canied out
by using the up key to increase the value or the d o m key to reduce the value. When
the maximum or minimum value is reached, the minimum or maximum value,
respectively, is indicated.
When the desired new value of the setting has been reached, it is saved in temparary
memory by pressing the SET key .This allows al1 settings in a group to be updated
into the working memory together. At the same time the display will cease to flash,
and other settings in the group will become available.

When a l l changes have been made to the settuigs, a further press of the left key will
attempt to leave the group. If any of the temporary settings differ h m the
corfesponding working values, the user is prompted to press either the SET key to
update the working memofy,or the RESET key to abandon the changes. Alternatively
the right m w key can be pressed to re-enter the group. If the changes are updated or
ignore. a message to this effect is displayed on the I d
The relay settings cannot be updated if the BLOCK SETTINGS softwm relay is on,
the group can only be lefi by pressing the RESET key to abandon the changes. The
communication settings and user identifier can be updated at any time.
If the access level is set to limiteci, no settings can be changed over the serial
communications link.
Setting ranges:
The setting range for the timers is 0.01 seconds to 9999 seconds. The setting
resolution is 0.01 seconds between 0.01 seconds and 99.99 seconds, 0.1 second
between 100.0 seconds and 999.9 seconds, and 1 second between 1000 seconds and
9999 seconds.
The setting range for the counter targets is 1 to 9999, with a resolution of 1.
Timers and counter targets can have their maximum and minimum limits reduced and
increased respectively in the ladder diagram, to prevent unrealistic values being
entered.
The function links can only be on or off.
Each user adjustable item has associated with it text which is entered in the ladder
diagram, and appears on the Icd when the pariicular item is king set. In the case of
timers and counter targets, the text is the name of the item, e.g.
timea DELAY DEAD TIME counter MAINT.ALARM
1.23 target 30
The value of the setting is displayed on the lower line of the display.
In the case of the function links, the top line of the display will show FUNCT n = ON
(or OFF)where n is the function number. Functions have two associated lines of text,
one for the on case and one for off.
FUNCT 1 = OFF or FUNCT 1 = ON

TWO SHOT SINGLE SHOT
For a list of available function links, timer and counter target settings, and their
maximum and minimum values and associated text, see the appropriate ladder

Conditions which cause an alarrn to be given are determined in the ladder diagram.
Each alarm is attached to a coil (i.e. an output, software relay or memory software
relay) in the ladder and is enabled when the appropriate conditions are met. The
condition to enable the alarm is indicated by the comrnand of the alarm entry table in
the ladder diagram. If the comrnand is + the alarm is enabled either by the coil turning
on or king on, and if the comrnand is - the alam is enabled either by the coi1 tming
off or being off. Text for the alarm.messagesis also set in the ladder diagram.
There are 4 groups of alarms, indicated by the ALARMS 1 or ALARMS 2 leds being
either stably lit or flashing. The condition to set and reset each group of alarms is as
follows:
status 1 Alarms
Indicated by the ALARMS 1 (rd) led king stably lit
If the command is + the alam is enabled while the designated mil is on and disabled
while the designated coil is off.
If the command is - the alarm is enabled while the designated coil is off and disabled
while the designated coil is on.
2.3-2 Compound Alarms
Indicated by the ALARMS 1 (rd) led flashing
N.B. If any status 1 alarms are also enabled, the led will be stably lit, and the flashing
will be masked.
If the commanti is + the alam is enabled while the designated coil is on and reset
when the alarm message is read, provided that the designated coil is now off. If the
coi1 is on when the message is read, the a l m will still be enabled.
If the command is - the a l a m is enabled while the designated coil is off and reset
when the alarm message is read, provided that the designated coil is now on. If the
coil is off when the message is read, the alarm will still be enabled.
2.3.3. Status 2 Alarms
Indicated by the ALARMS 2 (amber) led being stably lit
If the command is + the alann is enabled while the designated coil is on and disabled
while the designated coil is off.
If the command is - the alarrn is enabled while the designated coil is off and disabled
while the designated coil is on.
2.3.4. Change Alarms
Indicated by the ALARMS 2 (amber) led flashing

If the command is + the alarm is enabled while the designated coi1 is on and reset
when the alann message is read. The alarm will not be enabled again until the coi1has
tumed off then on again
If the command is - the alann is enabled while the designated mil is off and met
when the alarm message is read. The alarm will not be enabled again until the coi1has
tumed on then off again
The type of alarm is described on the relay display by the appearance of the leds, i.e.
Status 1 alarms are described as RED ALARMS
Compound alarms are described as RED FLASHING
Status 2 alarms are described as AMBER ALARMS
Change alarms are described as AMBER FLASHING
The relay is equipped with EEPROM storage for the settings, non-volatile counm
and mernory software relays. The settings are updated whenever a change is made and
the set key is pressed on leaving the group. When a non-volatile counter is changed, a
flag is set in memory which is tested by the routine which saves the counters and the
memory software relays. This routine runs every 10 ms, and compares the memory
software rdays, and none volatile counters if the flag is set, in RAM with the
quivalent value in EEPROM.If a value differs, it is copied from RAM to EEPROM.
The values are loaded from the EEPROM whenever the relay is powered on. In this
event the settings are checked against the maximum and minimum values entered in
the ladder diagram. If a setting is out of range the minimum value will be loaded.
The EEPROM is checked during the initialisation process, and at regular intervals
during normal operation. If an error is found, and the display is showing the default
text, the display will change to:
top iine: EEPROM ERROR

lower iine : FLAGS SUSPECT
or: COUNTERS SUSPECT
or: SETTINGS SUSPECT
depending on the area of EEPROM where the e m has been found.
If the error is found during the initialisation process, the software will wait, and only
continue if the left key is pressed. This gives the operator the option of removing the
microcomputer module and replacing the EEPROMS, or allowing the software to run,
and checking the indicated item. If the FLAGS SUSPECT message is displayed, the
counters and settings should also be checked, or if the COUNTERS SUSPECI'
message is displayed, the settings should also be checked, as the messages are
displayed in this priority.
If the e m r is found during normal operation, the messages as above will be
displayed, replacing the default display, but the software will continue to mn
normally. The rest of the operator interface can be accessed as described later.
If the error was caused by a RAM corruption due to interference, the erra message
will be cleared within 15 minutes, when a menu reset occurs
LFAA102 R-5930
Page 8 of 35
The menu system is also available via the serial port. The user identifier, which is not
echoed back to the tenninal, must first be mectly entered, followed by a carxiage
r e m , whereupon the relay will respond by sending GECAM to the remte terminal.
The user must then enter LOGON ,which is echoed back to the terrninalfollowed by a
carriage return, and the relay will send the default display to the terminal. Thereafter
the displays and key operations on the remote terminal or computer are exactly the
same as those on the lui, except for those associated with changing settings. If the
remote access level is set to FULL, the remote terminal duplicates fully the lcd and
keypad. If the remote access level is set to LIMITED, the following operations cannot
be prefomied:
changing any semng (including communications and user identifier)
resetting counters
testing output relays
This means that the user may interrogate and change the relay from a remote point
subject to the relevant iink king installed. The implementation of the port assumes
that the terminal connected is an ANS1 or VTlOO type. Most modem terminais and
cornputers can emulate one of these types of operation.
The remote port can only gain access to the menu when it is at the default position.
When the user identifier has been correctly entered at any other position, the remote
port receives a message that the menu is unavailable.
When the remote port is logged on, the lcd displays a message to this effect and the
keys, except for the SELECT/RESET key, are disabled.
The remote port may be logged off by one of three means:
1 The SELECT/RESET key on the relay can be pressed.
2 The Q key on the remote terminal keyboard can be pressed.
3 The rernote part can be left inactive for fifteen minutes.
When a log-off occurs a message is sent to the remote terminal stating the cause of the
log-off, and the lcd reverts to the default display and control returns to the local keys.
When the user is logged on to the remote port the implementation of the keys is as
follows:
UP k e ~ 8
Dom key 2
Right key 6
Left key 4
SET key 5
SELECURESET key 1
READ/ACCEPT key 3
These represent a similar layout to those on the front panel when using a nurneric
keypad.
Some tenninals cannot display up and down arrows, so these are replaced by a ?
symbol on the remote terminal.

Section 1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 Application
The W U 1 0 2 is designed for application at a line end switched by two circuit
breakers, typically at a one and a half switch substation. The designated leader circuit
breaker CBl can be selected to perform a single shot or two shot, single phase, three
phase or singldthree phase auto-reclose cycle. The follower circuit breaker CB2 is
n o d y arranged to perfonn a three phase reclosure when CB 1 has reclosed and
remained closed for a set "follower Cl3 time". For single phase auto-reclose cycles,
CB2 can be selected to trip single phase and reclose simultaneously with CBl.
Another user-selectable option is for CB2 to automatically take over the selected CB 1
duty cycle if CB 1 is not available for auto recloshg.
When a three phase reclosure is desired the equipment will convert any single or two
phase tripping tothree phase before initiating the reclosure. The LFAA102 relay
obtains information about the status of the circuit breakers, protection relays and
auxiliary plant by way of auxiliary contacts on the equipment. These contacts switch a
dc voltage to the LFAA which is Ntered and stored to indicate the state (open or
closed) of the extemal contacts. This information is used in a ladder diagram software
to determine the sequence and timing of the operation of the output relays. The output
relay contacts are voltage free and cm be norrnally open, n o d y closed or change
over.
1.2 Features
Selectable single andlor three phase autcmxlosing.
Suitable for feeders controlied by two circuit breakers.
AU timers are independantiy adjustable
Scheme logic options can be selected.
User friendly inbuilt keypad and menu system.

Section 2 COMMISSIONING PRELIMINARIES
I -
2.1 HandlÛig of Electronic Equipment
. Refer to Chapter 3 before handling electronic circuits which rnay be sensitive to
electrostatic voltage discharges. With the front panel closed the relay is completely safe
h m electrostatic discharges.
Open the front panel and inspect the relay modules prior to commissioning the relay.
Before this inspection, the operator should touch the earthed panel to discharge any
electrostatic voltages.
If modules are removed from the case, they should be handled by the front plate frame
or edges of the printed circuit boards to avoid contact with elecmcal componenets or
connections. Always store and transport modules in electx-ically conductive anti-static
bags.
If it is necessary to work on a module, then the module should be placed on an anti-
static surface and a conductive wrist smp should be worn, both should be earthed.
LFAA102 R-5930
Page 2 of 12
Ensure that the case earth tenninal above the rear terminal block H is used to connect
the relay to the local earth bar.
2.3 Inspection
With no dc auxiliary voltage connected, carefully examine the relay to ensure that no
damage has occurred during transit. Check on the h n t name plate label that the model
number and rating information are correct.
Vx (1) - Rated voltage of auxiliary supply to the power supply module.
Vx(2) - Rated voltage of auxiliary supply to the opto-isolated status inputs.
Remove the relay wver and open the front panel by undoing the large screw on the
right hand side of the font plate. The equipment label on the back of the front panel
contains infomiation on model number, serial number, fïmware reference, external
connection diagram number and details of the h n t panel and modules fitted in the
relay. Check that the moduie references are correct and the modules are fitted into the
carrectpositions and complete the comrnissioning test record details as printed.
Close the front panel and tighten the front panel screw.
Check that the extemal wiring is correct to the relevant external connection diagram
a n d h scheme diagram.
The insulation of the relay and its associateci wiring may be tested betweem-
(a) all electricaily isolated circuits.
(b) all circuits and earth.
An elecmnic or bmshless insulation tester having a voltage not exceeding lûûûV dc
should be used Accessible terminais of the same circuit should first be strapped
together. Deliberate circuit earthing links removed for the tests must be subsequently
replaced.

3.2 DC Awiliary Supply
Check the rated auxiliary supply voltage Vx(1) on the relay front nameplate label and
connect a suitably rated smoothed dc supply or station battery supply to relay
tenninals H l 3(+ve) and Hl 4 (-ve).
Switch on the supply and check the foll0wing:-
(a) Power Supply Failure aiarrn contacts - contact state when supply is on
H3 - H4 closed
H5 - H6 open
(b) The relay perfms power on diagnostic checks as indicated by rapid report
messages displayed on the font panel liquid crystal display (icd).
(c) The power on diagnostic tests are completed after about 12 seconds. The relay
then switches on the GREEN RELAY HEALTHY larnp and displays the
message LFAA102 AUTO-RECLOSEon the lcd.
To alter the viewing angle and contrat of the lcd use a srna11 screwdriver and insert it
carefully through the small hole at the right hand side of the lcd to adjust the
potentiometer.
3.3 Relay Settings
3.3.1 Functions
Thirty-one software "functions" can be individually set ON or OFF,to configure the
scheme logic to meet specific requirements. FNCT 1 to FNCT 6 are used to select the
required basic auto-reclose cycle, as listed in Table 1. FNCT 7 to FNCï 31 are used
to enable or disable various features within the basic cycle. Detailed descriptions of
the effects of al1 software functions are given in Publication RW4, Type LFAA102
Auto Reclose Relay Scheme Description.
Procedures for changing and viewing function settings are described in this s e ~ c e
manual, Chapter 7, Operating Instnictions, items 3.2.3 and 3.7.6.3. When a function
setting is being changed or viewed, a message con-esponding to the current setting is
displayed, as listed in Table.2.

Section 1 PROBLEM ANALYSIS
The following fault finding documentation is to enable the user to identify faulty
components of the relay d o m to module level. With the exception of the power
supply fuse there are no user serviceable parts within any module.
The procedure for repair is to identify the faulty module and replace it with the
appropriate spare. The faulty module should be retumed for repair and re-calibration
wiùl as much information regarciing the fault as possible.
When ordenng, and before fitting a new or replacement module, the module assembly
number and,in the case of the mimomputer module, software reference numbers
should be checked against the numbers found on the label on the inside of the front
panel. The assembly number is on the lower labelling smp at the front of the module,
and the software reference numbers on a label on the module sideplate. When the relay
is powered up, the software reference numbers can also be seen in the Identifiers
section of the user interface (Chapter 7 section 3.4.2).
This documentation assumes the user is conversant with the operating instructions and
the hardware arrangement of the relay .
The relay must be de-energized before the hinged front panel is opened and any bus
connections removed. Failure to wmply with this instruction rnay result in damage to
the electronic circuits of the modules or corruption of non-volatile memory.
Modules must be removed fnrm the case with the appropriate extraction tool to prevent
damage to the modules.
With the hinged front panel open electrostatic discharge precautions must be observed.
.---
1.2 Fault Finding Procedure
Problems which arise in the LFAA relay as a result of a faulty module will usually
result in one of the following occuning:-
The relay will fail to power up or initialise correctly.
The diagnostic routines wili lock the relay out.
The relay will not funtion correctly.
The following fault fînding instructions are therefore divided into these 3 main areas:-
Power up failures.
Self checking failures.
General operational failures.
LFAA102 R-5930
Page 2 of 9
Depending on the type of failure found, refer to the relevant section below. Some
sections consist of flow diagram type instructions to locate the faulty module.
** IMPORTANT **
Before beginning any fault finding procedures, visually check al1 connections and link
positions on ail of the modules (See Chapter 3).
Ensure all modules are in their conrect position in the relay case. This is indicated by
the module identification numben corresponding with the module numbers on the
relay case and with the module identification list fixed to the inside of the hinged front
panel.
When replacing modules ensure the replacement has the same module number as that
which it replaces. -
Ensure no modules show signs of obvious damage through improper handling of the
modules.
Check that the nbbon cable bus is connected correctly to each module and that no
socket pins are bent or otherwise damaged.
When the relay powers up normally the following sequence of events should occur
The lcd displays faint black squares.
AEter approximately 3 seconds the message COLDSTART CHECK together with the
diagnostic program version number will be displayed on the top line of the lcd,
followed by a watchdog timer test message.
The top line will then display DIAGNOSTIC CHECK and the bottom line of the lcd
will change to show various diagnostic messages. This takes about 10 seconds.
The logic conmller software is then executed which is indicated by the relay display
name, as entered in the ladder diagram, or an EEPROM error message being displayed
on the lcd. If an EEPROM ermr is detected the software will wait for the left key to be
pressed, after which it will continue. This is to allow the operator the option of having
the EEPROMs replaced or continuing, and checking the items in the section of
EEPROM indicated, as detailed in Chapter 5.
Rovided it is entered in the ladder diagram, the green RELAY HEALTHY led will
light to indicate that the ladder software is running. The other leds may also light,
depending on the state of the relay and any enabled alarms.

Section 3 SELF CHECKING FAILURES.
The LFAA relay contains self monitoring and diagnostic routines which are executed
when the relay is energized. These check the main components of the relay to ensure
that there is nothing drastically wrong with the system. This, coupled with the
watchdog feature, ensures that the software should never execute if the relay is faulty.
Obviously every possible fault cannot be guarded against and certain faults will still
enable the relay to function. These faults are covered in Chapter 7
3.1 Power On Diagnostics
When the relay is switched on it performs a number of system diagnostic checks to
ensure the relay is fully operational. These especially concem the main mimprocessor
and memory. During the checks the lcd displays messages to indicate the current test. --
3-2 Diagnostic System Emrs
A diagnostic system error will cause the relay to reset and display a message on the
top line of the llcd of the form RESET C0DE:XYZZ where XY is a 2 digit
hexadecimal number representing various e m r flags, and 22 is a 2 digit hexaàecimal
error code which is used to determine the cause of the emor. Under normal reset
conditions this message only remains on the display for approximately 3 seconds as it
is cleared by the application program when that restarts. In the case of a lockout
situation this message will be visible constantly.
There are 8 error flags available, each of which is represented by a bit in the error fiag
byte which is displayed as a 2 digit hexadecimal number on the lcd. Only 5 flags are
currently used: bits 0,1,2,3 and 7. It is possible for more than one flag to be set which
means the erra flag number can have the values: 00-OFand 8û-8F.
In the descriptions which follow, the possible values for the X and Y error flag
numbers quote&indicate the ermr flag numbers which could be generated by the
relevant bits king set.
Bit 7 - Lockout (enor flags: X=8)
If bit 7 is set the first e m r flag digit will be 8 which indicates that the erra is fatal. If
this occurs the relay will be locked-out, Le. disabled from functioning, and can only
be re-enabled by r e m d g the auxiliary dc supply to the relay. This will also be
indicated by the lcd display altemating between RESETCODE:8YZZ and
LOCKOUTCODE:8 Y Z approximately every 3 seconds.
Bit O - Diagnostic test (error flags: Y=1,3,5,7,9,B,D,F)
R-5930
Chapter 9
Page 5 of 9
If bit O is set the power on diagnostic routines will be executed before the relay
funetion continues. This would normally only occur if the application program
discovers a system error but requires venfication before the relay locks out .This bit
will be cleared on successful completion of the diagnostic tests.
Bit 1 - Watchdog inoperative (emr flags: Y=2,3,6,7,A,B,E,F)
If bit 1 is set it indicates that the watchdog is out of tolerance. This should not prevent
the relay from operating unless it is grossly under tolerance, in which case it may
cause the relay to reset continuously and eventually lock out due to the high number of
resets that have occmed. This bit is usually only changed during the coldstart
diagnostic check.
Bit 2 - Background mor (error flags: Y=4-7, C-F)
If bit 2 is set the error condition was caused by the background self monitoring routine
which regularly checks the system memory. The error code will disclose which type
of memory is faulty.
Bit 3 - Excessive number of soft mors (error flags: Y=8-F)
Bit 3 is set after 100resets have occuned since the last power-on. This also locks the
relay out to prevent any further operations so bit 7 will also be set. The e m r code will
indicate the cause of the last reset which should be investigated. An m r code of 08
will also be generated if no other error code is pending. The relay cm be restarted after
switching off its auxiliary dc supply for a few seconds.
3.2.2 System Esror Codes
The error code number ranges from û0-FFh. Error code nuinbers in the range 01-2Fh
indicate a system enor. Higher e m code numbers indicate an application program
generated error.
Error code 00 - Hardware or no error.
If the errm code is 00, the pmcessor reset was caused by the relay hardware. Probable
causes of this error code would be the watchdog timing out, which may indicate that
the software has crashed; or a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)occuning. This should
not normally cause lockout on its own but normally would be associated with an
excessive number of resets. If this is the case try replacing the microprocessor
module.
Error code 01 - Processor error.
During the power-on diagnostic routine the processor is checked for functionality.
This includes testing all of its registers and flags and conditional jump instructions.
The relay is locked out with an error code of 01 if any of these tests fails. The
mimprocessor module should be replaced by a spare and the faulty module retumed
for repair.
-
E m r code 02 RAM error.
R-5930
Chapter 9
Page 6 of 9
A readlwrite test is done on the entire RAM during the power-on diagnostic RAM
TEST,and the relay is locked out with an error code of 02 if this test fails. The RAM
is also tested regularly whilst the application program is executing and, if this
produces an enw, the relay is reset and the power on diagnostics perfonned. Only if
these also produce an error will the relay be locked out. The microprocessor module
should be replaced by a spare and the faulty module returned for repair.
Error code 03 - EPROM mur.
The E p m s used have a checksum of zero. This checksum is checked during the
power on diagnostic EPROM TEST and also regularly whilst the application program
is executing. The relay is locked out if the checksum test fails during the power-on
diagnostic routine. Two checksum failures are required during the background
EPROM test fur added security as it is unlikely that this test will fail. It is more
probable that the checksum maintained in a RAM variable will fail due to interference. A
If two consecutive checksum tests fail the relay is reset and the power on diagnostics
perfonned Only if these diagnostics fail will the relay lock out. When a checksurn
e m r occurs a message will be displayed on the bottom line of the lcd of the form :
'AAAA-CHKSUM:CCCC' where AAAA indicates the staxting segment of the failed
EPROM and CCCC is the checksum value which the diagnostics detected. The
mimpracessor module should be replaced by a spare and the faulty module retumed
for repair.
Error code O8 - Excessive number of soft errors.
When an excessive number of soft enors occurs, bit 3 of the e m r flags is set and the
relay is locked out. If no other error code is pending at this time, an e m r code of 08
will be generated. Otherwise the mcode will indicate the last reset e m r which
caused the excessive number of resets.
Error code 09 - lcd RAM emr.
The power-on diagnostic routine writes 4 bytes of test data into a RAM location of the
front panel lcd RAM area and reads them back for cornparison. The test detemiines if --..
the lui can be addressed and that the bus connections have no shorts or open-circuits.
The relay will lock out with an error code 09 if the test fails. Check the bus
connections to al1 modules and replace the nbbon bus if necessary.
Error code 11-1A - Conml register read/write emr.
Each control register in the intemipt controller, DMA conmller and timer is tested. If
any of them fail this readtwrite test, the relay is locked out. The microprocessor
module should be replaced by a spare and the faulty module returned for repair. The
error code indicates which register failed as follows:
11- int mask register 16- DMA 1 control register
12- int priority mask register 17- intû control register
13- int status register 18- intl control register
14- timer control register 19- int2 control register
15-DMAO control register 1A- int3 control register
R-5930
Chapter 9
Page 7 of 9
Errer code 1B - Hot intempt occurred.

During the intempt controller test, al1 the microprocessor integrated peripherals are
tumed off, but their interrupts enabled. If any of them interrupt spuriously, the relay is
locked out. This may be caused by spurious noises on the auxiliary power supply
during power up. The relay can be restarted after switching off the auxiliary dc supply
for a few seconds. If the lockout condition persists, then the mimpmcessor module
should be replaced by a spare and the faulty module retwned for repair.
Erra code 1C - Timer 2 inoperative.
In the timer test, tirner 2 is set to intempt after lms. If this does not interrupt after
2 ms the relay is locked out with this error code. The microprocessor module should
be replaced by a spare and the faulty module returned for repair.
Ernn code 1D - Timer 2 out of tolerance.
If timer 2 intemipts during the timer test, it is tested for tolerance levels of 13%. If it
is outside the tolerance levels, this is indicated on the bottom line of the lcd as either:
TIMER 2 FAST XXXX
or ïïMER2SLûWXXXX
where 3ZXX is the count value reached before the interrupt occu~ed
-
Error code 1E No DMA intempt after transfer.
The DMA test uses DMAO to transfer 16known bytes from the EPROM to RAM,
after which DMAO should intempt. This error code occurs if the interrupt does not
occur after a reasonable tirne-out period. The rnicroprocessor module should be
replaced by a spare and the faulty module returned for repair.
-
Error code 1F DMA transfer error.
After the DMA transfer has taken place, the 16 bytes now in the RAM are cornpared
with the miginal values and the relay is locked out if there are any discrepancies. The
microprocessor module should be replaced by a spare and the faulty module retunied
for repair.

Section 4. OPERATIONAL FAILURES.
Should the relay be suspected of king faulty, each module cm be tested to verify that
they are workuig correctly. Faulty modules can therefore be identified and replaced.
This procedure is outlined in 4.1.
Module Verification
The input and output modules c m be tested using the test options avaîlable from the
front panel menu stnicture. These can be selected from the mot of the menu structure
by using key sequences given in chapter 7 sections 3.6, 3.7.7 and 3.7.8.
Power Supply Module Verification
The power supply has already been covered in section 2 of this chapter. Check the
voltage rails brought out on the parallel test port as described in that section and that
the power fail relay operates correctly when the supply is switched on and off. A
faulty power supply can also be the cause of spurious resets, which can lock the relay
out when they reach the reset lirnit of 100 resets.
Microprocessar Module Verifcation
The microprocessar module is tested extensively during the power-on diagnostics. To
verify that it is working carrectly therefore, switch off the auxiliary dc supply to the
relay. Then switch it back on and observe the diagnostic check messages on the front
panel Icd. A lockout erra code of 01 or 11-20h indicates a faulty microprocessor
module which should be replaced. In catastrophic cases of failure, the alarm messages
on the Icd may not make immediate sense.
Front Panel Module Verification
A faulty front panel can be identified quite easily by visible inspection and use of the
key pad. Failure of the l i i d crystal display driver may result in maloperation of the
operator interface.
Relay Output Modules Verification
Individual contacts on each relay output module can be changed from the front panel
to venfy that these modules function correctly. Because this function allows any of the
relay contactsto be changed it could cause circuit breakers to trip or close if they are
comected Before using this option, therefore, be aware of the consequences of
changing the contacts and disconnect the output contacts from extemal equipment if
required. This option can only be used if the block output test software relay is off.
Status Input Module Verification
Select the VIEW INPUTS option as outlined in Chapter 7 section 3.7.7. The inputs
can be tested by applying the appropriate auxiliary voltage Vx(2) amss the relevant
status input connections at the rear of the relay and monitoring the lcd. It should be
noted that the status inputs still carry out their normal functions during this test.
Input 14,15 and 16 on each printed circuit board are dummies, controlled by the plugs -A %
in JM 3. The plugs are inserted in the factory, so that these inputs will always be read
as on. If the plugs are removed and the test repeated these inputs should be off.

4.2 Serial Port Em,rs

The serial port cm be selected to be W M C X X ~ to the front panel SERIAL connector or
to the connector at the rear of the rehy. Check that the position of the select jumper
link (see Chapter 4) in the rnicrocomputer module is correct if there is no response
from the serial port The front serial wnnector pin out is designed for direct connection
with a visual display unit or serial printer. The rear connector pin out is different fiam
that of the h n t connector and is designed for c o ~ e c t i o nwith a data set equipment
(e.g. a modem). Check that al1 connections are correct. Check also that the serial port
set up, i.e. baud rate and &ta format, is correctly set up as required.
Remote access to relay is gained via the serial port. This uses standard ANS1 codes to
drive a VDU terminal. If d e s such as 2J or 1;lH appea. then you are not using a
standard ANS1 temiinal. For proper display, an ANS1 display terminal emulator must
be use& e.g. DEC VTlOO or an IBM PC with an appropriate communication package.
