About this chapter

This chapter is an introduction to the operator’s manual, its purpose and usage.
1.1 Introduction to the operator’s manual
1.1.1 About the complete set of manuals for an IED

The user’s manual (UM) is a complete set of five different manuals:
Application Technical Installation and Operator´s Engineering

manual reference commissioning manual guide
manual manual
en06000097.vsd
The Application Manual (AM) contains application descriptions, setting guidelines

and setting parameters sorted per function. The application manual should be used to
find out when and for what purpose a typical protection function could be used. The
manual should also be used when calculating settings.
The Technical Reference Manual (TRM) contains application and functionality

descriptions and it lists function blocks, logic diagrams, input and output signals,
setting parameters and technical data sorted per function. The technical reference
manual should be used as a technical reference during the engineering phase,
installation and commissioning phase, and during normal service.
The Installation and Commissioning Manual (ICM) contains instructions on how

to install and commission the protection IED. The manual can also be used as a
reference during periodic testing. The manual covers procedures for mechanical and
electrical installation, energizing and checking of external circuitry, setting and

Section 2 Safety information
About this chapter

This chapter lists warnings and cautions that must be followed when handling the
IED.
2.1 Warnings
Do not touch circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal voltages

and currents are present.
Always connect the IED to protective earth, regardless of the

operating conditions. This also applies to special occasions such as
bench testing, demonstrations and off-site configuration. Operating
the IED without proper earthing may damage both IED and measuring
circuitry and may cause injuries in the event of an accident.
Never remove any screw from a powered IED or from a IED

connected to powered circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and
currents are present.
Always avoid touching the circuitry when the cover is removed. The
product contains electronic circuitries which can be damaged if
exposed to static electricity (ESD). The electronic circuitries also
contain high voltage which is lethal to humans.

Overview
Section 3 Overview
About this chapter

This chapter presents a general overview of the Operator's manual.
3.1 Operator overview
The Human machine interface (HMI) on the IED provides an ideal mechanism for
the day to day operation and even advanced use of the IED. The keypad, LCD and
LEDs on the front of the IED are what constitute the HMI. Troubleshooting, apparatus
control, monitoring, setting and configuring are all possible via this interface.
Through the screens and menu elements available, as well as the keypad, the user is
able to navigate throughout the menu structure and move from screen to screen. This
document is, to a great extent, arranged in the same way as the IED software is
structured and describes all aspects of operation via the HMI.
The operator can document disturbances so that their causes can be analyzed and
evaluated for future reference. For example, the fault currents and voltages at the time
of the fault can be documented. The operator can also retrieve data about protected
objects, providing further information for fault analysis. This implies viewing the
mean value of current, voltage, power and frequency or primary and secondary
measured phasors. The operator can check the IED status at any time.
In some cases the operator may need to change the way the IED operates. This might
include changing the active setting group or a parameter value. This must always be
done strictly according to applicable regulations because un-authorized changes may
lead to severe damage of the protected object especially if a fault is not properly
disconnected.
3.2 Identify the IED
To identify the IED, open the diagnostics menu. The identity of the IED along with
other data is found under:
Diagnostics/IED status/Product Identifiers

The type of IED, the main function type, its serial number, ordering number and
production date are found here.

About this chapter

This chapter describes the display, its keys (buttons) and LEDs that make up the HMI.
How the keys are used to navigate the HMI, how to interpret the graphic information
on the LCD and, what the LEDs indicate is explained in the sections that follow.
4.1 Overview
The human machine interface is used to monitor and to some extent control the way
the IED operates. The configuration designer can add functions that alert to events
requiring the attention of the operator.

4.3.1 The Help screen

The help screen is activated by pressing the Help key on the front panel of the IED.
It includes the submenu listed below:
• General operation
The General Operation submenu provides information about the IED keypad.
The I and O keys are used to open (OFF) and close (ON) breakers and disconnectors
when using the Single Line Diagram (SLD) in direct control situations.
4.3.2 The Reset screen

The reset screen is activated by the Reset key on the front panel of the IED or via the
main menu. The reset screen includes the submenus listed below:
• Reset LEDs
• Reset lockout
• Reset counters
• Reset temperature functions
The Reset LEDs submenu consists of two lower level menus which are the “Start and
trip LEDs” and “All indication LEDs” submenus. To reset a counter, the actual
counter must first be selected. The submenus and the their structures are discussed in
the “Reset” chapter of this document.

Section 4
4.4 LCD
4.4.1 Small
The small sized HMI is available for 1/2, 3/4 and 1/1 x 19” case. The LCD on the
small HMI measures 32 x 90 mm and displays 7 lines with up to 40 characters per
line. The first line displays the product name and the last line displays date and time.
The remaining 5 lines are dynamic. This LCD has no graphic display potential.
4.4.2 Medium
The 1/2, 3/4 and 1/1 x 19” cases can be equipped with the medium size LCD. This is
a fully graphical monochrome LCD which measures 120 x 90 mm. It has 28 lines
with up to 40 characters per line. To display the single line diagram, this LCD is
required.
4.5 LED
The LED module is a unidirectional means of communicating. This means that events
may occur that activate a LED in order to draw the operators attention to something
that has occurred and needs some sort of action.
4.5.1 Status indication LEDs

There are three LEDs above the LCD. The information they communicate is described
in the table below.
LED Indication Information
Green:
Steady In service
Flashing Internal failure
Dark No power supply
Yellow:
Steady Dist. rep. triggered
Flashing Terminal in test mode
Red:
Steady Trip command issued
4.5.2 Indication LEDs

Section 4
The LED indication module comprising 15 LEDs is standard in IED 670s. Its main
purpose is to present an immediate visual information for protection indications or
alarm signals.
There are alarm indication LEDs and hardware associated LEDs on the right hand
side of the front panel. The alarm LEDs are found to the right of the LCD screen.
They can show steady or flashing light. Flashing would normally indicate an alarm.
The alarm LEDs are configurable using the PCM 600 tool. This is because they are
dependent on the binary input logic and can therefore not be configured locally on
the HMI. Some typical alarm examples follow:
• Bay controller failure

• CB close blocked
• Interlocking bypassed
• Differential protection trip
• SF6 Gas refill
• Position error
• CB spring charge alarm
• Oil temperature alarm
• Thermal overload trip
• Bucholtz trip
The RJ45 port has a yellow LED indicating that communication has been established
between the IED and a computer.
The Local/Remote key on the front panel has two LEDs indicating whether local or
remote control of the IED is active.
4.6 LHMI setup and test screen
The contrast setting of the LCD can be adjusted from the LHMI menu tree when the
IED has started or from the PST tool in PCM 600. The contrast setting adjusted with
one of these methods is an offset to a factory set basic contrast setting.
Normally the basic contrast setting is not changed, but can if needed be adjusted as
follows:
Activate the setup and test screen for the LHMI by keeping the Reset key pressed
immediately after the dc power to the IED has been applied.
By pressing keys according to information on the setup and test screen

Section 4
• the basic contrast level of the LCD screen can be changed
• the LCD screen can be toggled to inverse mode
• the indication LEDs can be tested
Press the I key to save and exit the screen and wait for the IED to start. Observe that
only the basic contrast setting will be saved.
4.7 How to navigate

About this chapter

This chapter describes measurement categories and how to locate them using the
HMI. Each measurement category has a section of its own that includes a general
description of the type of quantity being measured and the path in the local HMI to
the measurement.
6.1 Overview
The measurement menu contains primarily analog measurement data. External

signals can also be viewed as they are or as they appear in the Signal Matrix Tool
(SMT). These signals are a virtual representation of the hard wired signals on the
various inputs and outputs. The SMT is only accessible via the PCM and is intended
to simplify the configuration of the IED. It allows hardware changes to be made
without having to reconfigure the internal logic. Signals that can be used in the SMT
are indicated with the Suffix SMT.
The functions available under measurements are outlined below.
1. Analog primary values are the quantities measured on the primary side of the
current and voltage transformers (CTs and VTs).
2. Analog secondary values are the quantities measured on the secondary side of
the current and voltage transformers. These are the quantities measured on the
Transformer module (TRM) inputs.
3. Analog mean values are the quantities measured at the inputs of the milliampere
module (MIM).
4. Under Monitoring a number of submenus are available. These include Service
values, Current phasors, Voltage phasors, Current sequence components and
Voltage sequence components.
5. Metering displays the pulse counter function. The measurements available here
show pulse counter status data.
All measurement descriptions in this document reflect the maximum number of

hardware units possible in any application. In reality the hardware in the IED will be
chosen according to a particular application. For example, it is possible to equip a 1/1
x 19” case IED with 14 I/O modules. In reality fewer I/O modules may be installed.
In the measurements menu the operator will only see data from the hardware and
software installed.

Section 6
6.2 View analog primary values
6.2.1 Overview
The analog primary values are analog quantities measured on the primary side of the
TRM and reflect the actual current or voltage on the primary side of the VTs and CTs.
The ratio is adjusted under settings and also depends on the rating of the TRM. 24
primary values and phase angles are displayed in this view.
Measurements/Analog Primary Values

Displays the quantities measured by the transformer module (TRM). For each channel
used the amplitude of the voltage or current and its phase angle is shown. The status
of the module is always shown and channels not in use are indicated with the
abbreviation NC. Data from up to two TRMs and four LDCMs can be viewed. All
currents and voltages are given in RMS values.
6.3 View analog secondary values
6.3.1 Overview
Analog secondary values shows secondary CT currents and VT voltages. These are
the actual current and voltage values at the TRM inputs.
Measurements/Analog Secondary Values

Displays up to 24 channels with secondary CT and VT data. RMS values are shown.
6.4 View analog mean values
6.4.1 Overview
Measurements from the Milliampere Input Module (MIM) are found in this part of
the measurements menu. Data from either the hard wired mA module or the Signal
Matrix Tool mA modules are shown here.
6.4.1.1 mA input module (MIM)
Measurements/Analog Mean Values/mA modules/MIM

Displays input data from the milli-ampere module which has six inputs. Each input
has a range of +/- 20 mA. The value displayed on the screen is however dependant

Section 6
on the settings for the Milli-ampere Module. In the menu for settings, the range and
a transformation factor can be adjusted to suit the application. This means that an
input 3 mA may be displayed as temperature of 45 degrees. The output values shown
are without units.
6.4.1.2 Signal matrix for mA inputs (SMMI)
Measurements/Analog Mean Values/SMT mA modules/Instance

Displays the input signals coming into the Milli-ampere Module. Each module has
six physical inputs with an input tolerance of +/- 20mA. The value displayed depends
on the settings applied to this board which may for example cause an input of 3mA
to show a value 30. The SMT mA modules are the virtual representation of MIMs in
the Signal Matrix Tool.
6.5 View monitoring values
6.5.1 Service values

Section 6
The current sequence component under monitoring displays the positive (I1),
negative (I2) and zero sequence (I0) current values for a three phase line, both
magnitude and phase angle for each component are displayed. These indicate how
well balanced a system is. In an ideal balanced system the zero sequence current
should be zero, the positive sequence current should be equal to the current of each
phase with the same phase angle (relative to GPS) as the L1 phase signal and the
negative sequence current should be zero.
6.5.5 Voltage sequence component

Measurements/Monitoring/Voltage Sequence Components (MSQI)/VSQ
The Voltage sequence component displays the positive (U1), negative (U2) and zero
(U0) sequence components in the system, and includes the magnitude and phase angle
of each component. Three sets of values are shown. This data indicates how well
balanced the system is.

About this chapter

This chapter describes disturbance detection and handling. This includes resetting
LED alarms, triggering disturbance reports and the viewing of several fault indicators.
8.1 Identify a disturbance
A disturbance record can be generated manually by using the Manual Trig

functionality in the HMI menu. Other disturbance records are generated automatically
in the system dependant on the settings made. Disturbance reports generate a
disturbance sequence number and are time tagged. The fault location and fault loop
are among the data generated in a fault record. Under each fault report there are five
categories of information available. These are described in the sections that follow.
8.2 View disturbance record details
8.2.1 View general information

By choosing General information after selecting a disturbance record in the list of
disturbance records the screen generated displays information about the disturbance
such as its sequence number, time of occurrence, trig-signal, fault location and fault

About this chapter

This chapter describes how to find and change settings and parameters. The chapter
is divided into two sections which match the way the two categories of settings are
divided up in the HMI. The General settings group consists of those parameters that
cause an automatic restart of the IED. The Setting group N consists of six groups of
settings with default values for all parameters. These do not require or cause a restart
once they have been changed. Time, synchronization and the activation of setting
groups are also dealt with here.
It takes a minimum of three minutes for the IED to save the new
settings, during this time the DC supply must not be turned off.

affecting LON parameters. The HMI paths to these submenus and their contents are
described below.
Settings/General settings/Communication/SLM configuration/Rear optical

LON port/General
In the General submenu there are three settings. These are for the Subnet address, the
Node address and the NeuronID.

LON port/ServicePinMessage
In this submenu a Service pin message can be generated. This is similar to a “ping”
in traditional networks. This sends a signal to another node in the system which is
then made aware of the Neuron ID of LON port and can respond to that port.

LON port/ADE
The Application Data Event (ADE) menu is where operation of LON is set on or off
and where the data exchange speed can be set. If LON is used primarily to send event
data then the appropriate setting is slow. Should LON be used, for example, as a
channel for TRIP signals then the setting fast would be appropriate.

LON port/SPA
Settings for SPA over LON are made here. The operation setting is used to switch
the function on or off and the slave address setting is where the slave address is
entered.

LON port/Horizontal communication
This setting is used to activate or deactivate horizontal communication.

inputs and I/O modules. Within each instance of analog input there are settings for
all 12 channels that include the name of the channel, star point of the CT circuit, the
primary and secondary values from the measuring transformers (CTs and VTs). The
channel type and ratings are shown but cannot be changed.
The settings for binary inputs and outputs even include the milliampere input
modules. A mix of up to 14 instances of BIM, BOM and IOM is possible depending
on the physical configuration of the IED. Operation ON or OFF can be set for all of
these and for the BIMs oscillation release and oscillation block settings are available.
These settings are on board level and apply to all binary inputs or outputs on a board.
9.2.3.2 Analog modules

Fourier filter reference frequency, minimum voltage for frequency measurement and
the system voltage are some of the parameters that can be set here.
Settings/General Settings/Analog modules/Reference channel service values

The phase angle reference is set here.
9.2.3.3 I/O modules
Settings/General Settings/I/O Modules

Settings for binary inputs and outputs (BIM, BOM, IOM), and under each binary
module there are one or more adjustable parameters. In the I/O modules folder there
is also a “reconfigure” setting that starts a dialog box prompting the user to confirm
or cancel the command. Since only I/O modules installed in the IED are shown, the
parameters available for setting depend on the physical configuration of the IED. All
I/O modules include the operation parameter which enables the operator to switch
the module on or off.
The milliampere modules (MIMs) are also found in the I/O Modules folder.
Parameters possible to set here are dead band settings and various current threshold
values.
9.2.4 HMI

viewing activities. When IED test mode is set to ON functions are inactivated so that
no signals are transmitted during testing. Under Function test modes individual
functions can be activated. The LED test are also activated here.
The submenus for binary inputs and outputs as well as the submenu titled Function
status are used to view data generated by the system. These categories of data are
outlined below.
1. Binary output values has two submenus. These are Binary output modules
(BOM) and SMT binary outputs. Under these the status of binary outputs and
SMT outputs is displayed.
2. Binary input values has two submenus. These are Binary input modules (BIM)
and SMT binary inputs. These screens show the state of all the inputs on the
Binary input modules (BIM). These are represented as digits but may also be a
number if the input is being used to receive pulses for power measurement.
3. Differential Protection displays a choice of differential functions available to the
operator. Function related measurements can be viewed by navigating to the
screen for each individual function.
4. Distance protection displays a choice of functions available to the operator.
Function related measurements can be viewed by navigating to the screen for
each individual function.
5. Current protection displays a choice of functions. To view data related to these
functions it is necessary to choose one from the list and navigate to the screen
for the function in question.
6. Voltage protection displays a choice of functions available to the operator.
Function related measurements can be viewed by navigating to the screen for
each of the four functions available. Data shown here is mainly trip and start
related.
7. Frequency protection includes measurements from frequency functions.
Measurements show trip, start and similar data.
8. Multipurpose protection includes measurements showing data regarding trip
signals, start signals, current and voltage values.

Section 11

9. Secondary system supervision displays a choice of functions, Current circuit

supervision and Fuse failure. Current circuit measurements include fail and alarm
signals, and fuse failure measurements consist of start data.
10. Control displays the Synchrocheck, and Apparatus control functions. The
Synchrocheck functions include a number of function related measurements such
as calculated differences. Apparatus control includes up to 19 functions each
with their own set of measurement data regarding interlocking, breaker and
isolator conditions.
11. Scheme communication includes functions that display trip and other signals
used when interzone communication is deployed.
12. Logic displays a choice of functions available to the operator. These are Trip
logic, Event counter, Logic gate, Logic memory and Logic timer set each with
their own set of measurements.
13. Monitoring displays a choice of functions available to the operator. Function
related measurements can be viewed by navigating to the screen for each
individual function. One of the submenus shows the status of the LEDs on the
HMI.
14. Communication displays submenus for Remote communication and Receiving
interlock information.
All measurement descriptions in this document reflect the maximum number of

hardware units possible in any application. In reality the hardware in the IED will be
chosen according to a particular application. For example, it is possible to equip a 1/1
x 19” case IED with 14 I/O modules. In reality fewer I/O modules may be installed.
In the measurements menu the operator will only see data from the hardware and
software installed.

Section 12
Control and supervise the bay
Section 12 Control and supervise the bay
About this chapter

This chapter describes the various control and supervision functions available in the
HMI. In particular, how the single line diagram available on the display can be used
for this purpose. It also describes the Selector switch function available under the
control menu.
12.1 Overview
The control menu in the HMI includes the Single line diagram, Single command and
Selector switch functions.
The Single Line Diagram (SLD) is used to control and supervise the bay by allowing
the operator to close and open apparatuses using keys on the front panel of the IED.
This is primarily intended as a backup for higher level control systems. If for example
MicroSCADA were to malfunction, then bay level switches and circuit breakers can
be controlled directly from the HMI.
The Single command function is used to view LON interlocking data and is only
visible if LON is configured and used in the system.
The Selector Switch function is configured in the PCM 600 tool and the switch
position can be changed in the HMI. The selector switch has the same function as a
rotating switch with up to 32 positions. Each position is configured in the PCM 600
to match a certain application. Each position number corresponds to the equivalent
position of a rotating switch. It is only visible if it has been configured in the PCM
600.
12.1.1 Read measured values and check apparatus status

In the single line diagram a number of measured quantities are displayed. These are
normally system voltage (U), system current (I), active power (P) and reactive power
(Q). They are displayed on the right hand side of the SLD graphic. The quantities
shown can be configured in the PCM and may therefore not always have the same
appearance in different IEDs.
12.1.2 Locating and using the single line diagram

It is possible to navigate the SLD screen using the up and down keys on the IED
keypad. The apparatus under control is highlighted as the user moves from symbol

Section 12
to symbol using the keypad. An apparatus is opened using the green Ored Close key
and closed using the red I key.

12.1.3 Control screen messages

These messages appear at the bottom of the SLD screen and are in the form of a
prompt asking the user to confirm an action, such as the opening of a circuit breaker.
They can also warn the user as to conditions that are a hindrance to the intended action,
such as an interlocking condition. The user may be given the choice to override certain
conditions.

Authorization
Section 14 Authorization
About this chapter

This chapter describes password procedures and levels of access in the system.
14.1 Overview
To safeguard the interests of our customers, both the IED 670 and the tools that are
accessing the IED 670 are protected, subject of authorization handling. The concept
of authorization, as it is implemented in the IED 670 and the associated tools is based
on the following facts:
• There are two types of points of access to the IED 670:

• local, through the local HMI
• remote, through the communication ports
• There are different levels (or types) of users that can access or operate different
areas of the IED and tools functionality; the pre-defined user types are defined
as follows:
User type Access rights

Guest Read only
SuperUser Full access
SPAGuest Read only + control
SystemOperator Control from LHMI, no bypass
ProtectionEngineer All settings
DesignEngineer Application configuration (including SMT, GDE and CMT)
UserAdministrator User and password administration for the IED
The IED users can be created, deleted and edited only with the User Management
Tool (UMT) within PCM 600. The user can only LogOn or LogOff on the LHMI of
the IED, there are no users, groups or functions that can be defined on the IED LHMI.
14.1.1 LogOn or logOff

The Authorization menu allows the user to logOn and, logOff. The HMI path is as
follows:
Authorization

Section 14
Authorization
14.1.2 Authorization handling in the IED

At delivery the default user is the superuser. No LogOn is required to operate the IED
until a user has been created with the UMT(User Management Tool). See Application
manual for more details.
Once a user is created and downloaded into the IED, that user can perform a LogOn,
introducing the password assigned in the tool.
If there is no user created, an attempt to log on will cause the display to show a message
box saying: “No user defined!”
If one user leaves the IED without logging off, then after the timeout (set in Settings
\General Settings\HMI\Screen\ Display Timeout ) elapses, the IED will return to a
Guest state, when only reading is possible. The display time out is set to 60 minutes
at delivery.
If there are one or more users created with the UMT and downloaded into the IED,
then, when a user intentionally attempts a LogOn or when the user attempts to perform
an operation that is password protected, the LogOn window will appear
The cursor is focused on the “User identity” field, so upon pressing the “E” key, one
can change the user name, by browsing the list of users, with the “up” and “down”
arrows. After choosing the right user name, the user must press the “E” key again.
When it comes to password, upon pressing the “E” key, the following character will
show up: “$”. The user must scroll for every letter in the pasword. After all the letters
are introduced (passwords are case sensitive!) choose OK and press “E” key again.
If everything is O.K. at a voluntary LogOn the LHMI returns to the Authorization

screen. If the LogOn is OK, when required to change for example a password
protected setting, the LHMI returns to the actual setting folder. If the LogOn has
failed, then the LogOn window will pop-up again, until either the user makes it right
or presses “Cancel”.

UTC Coordinated universal time. A coordinated time scale,
maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures
(BIPM), which forms the basis of a coordinated dissemination
of standard frequencies and time signals. UTC is derived from
International Atomic Time (TAI) by the addition of a whole
number of "leap seconds" to synchronize it with Universal
Time 1 (UT1), thus allowing for the eccentricity of the Earth"s
orbit, the rotational axis tilt (23.5 degrees), but still showing
the Earth"s irregular rotation, on which UT1 is based. The
Coordinated Universal Time is expressed using a 24-hour
clock and uses the Gregorian calendar. It is used for aeroplane
and ship navigation, where it also sometimes known by the
military name, "Zulu time". "Zulu" in the phonetic alphabet
stands for "Z" which stands for longitude zero.
