  • Page 11: General

    The exceptional flexibility and scalability of this new generation device lead to a smart solution where the traditional approach would be ineffective and expensive. The following figures Fig. 3.-1 and Fig. 3.-2 show examples of the REF 542plus installation in several switchgears. A050395 Fig.
  • Page 12 Fig. 3.-2 REF 542plus installed in an air-insulated switchgear (AIS) REF 542plus is composed of two parts: a base unit and a separate human machine interface (HMI). The base unit contains the power supply, the processor board, the analog input board and binary input and output (I/O) modules, as well as optional modules for supplementary functions.
  • Page 13 Mounting of the central unit in the LV compartment and the HMI on the door REF 542plus is a real-time system. A digital signal processor (DSP) carries out the measurement and protection functions, and a micro controller (MC) the control functions.
  • Page 14 Binary Input Output Board(s) A050397 Fig. 3.-4 REF 542plus block diagram The HMI control unit, as shown in Fig. 3.-5, features a back-illuminated liquid crystal display (LCD), eight push buttons, several LEDs and an electronic key interface. The language of the display can be selected by using the related configuration software tool, which is also used to define the protection and the control scheme.
  • Page 15 Network Communication LED This LED is meaningful only when the REF 542plus is equipped with a communication module and configured to use it. When a communication module is detected inside the unit, the LED turns on to green.
  • Page 16 LEDs. The assignment of the LED to a specific condition is done with the Operating Tool. PC interface PC interface is the infrared serial (IrDa) interface port to connect the REF 542plus with a personal computer. By using the appropriate cable and the Operating Tool, the following actions are possible:...
  • Page 17 Typical examples might be: start of a transfer switch or of any other automation sequence, fault recorder activation, start of a load shedding sequence and so on. Due to the user defined command buttons, REF 542plus automation capabilities can cope with any requirements.

  • Page 19: Functions

    The REF 542plus unit provides a wide range of logical functions so that each specific requirement can be met. The functions include logical gates such as AND, OR, timers, counters, pulse generators, flip-flops and so on.

  • Page 24: Time Synchronization

    4.7. Time synchronization REF 542plus is equipped with an internal real-time clock, which is used to time stamp events. The internal clock is buffered by a special capacitor. In case of a DC power supply failure, the stored electrical energy in the capacitor ensures continued operation of the internal clock for at least another two hours.

    Technical Reference Manual standard protocol IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 61850 or modified Modbus RTU protocol are available. If better accuracy is required, REF 542plus can be synchronized using the dedicated IRIG-B optical input port and a GPS master clock. The accepted timeformats are IRIG format B 000, B002 and B003.

  • Page 26: Binary Inputs And Outputs

    The numerical integration of the signal is performed by the DSP in the REF 542plus unit. The current sensors cover a range between 0.5 to 2.0 of the rated current. The 80 A current sensors, for example, are very suitable for applications between a current range of 40 A to 160 A.
