2 SCADA Monitoring Direction

The following SCADA monitoring functions are described for the binary input boards
23BE23, 23BE40, 23BE50, 23BI61, and the analogue input boards 23AE23, 23AI60 and
23PT60 as well as for the binary and analogue inputs of the integrated multi input/output
boards of the 560CIG10
2.1
Indication Processing
There are two types of indications:
Single point input (SPI)
Double point input (DPI)
Figure 2-1 shows the signal definition for SPI and DPI. Double indications are
represented by two sequential bits within a binary input board. The normal state of a DPI
is a non-equivalent bit combination (10 or 01). An intermediate state (00) is given during
the runtime of a unit from one position to the other (e.g. an isolator from OFF to ON).

Indication Type Definition
The definition of the bit position for ON and OFF can be changed for the whole
configuration. If changed, this definition is also valid for DCO and RCO commands.
Parameter:
Change ON and OFF connection point
(RTU Parameters)
Within an indication board, any type of binary input can be mixed but it has to be
considered that a DPI can start on odd bit-positions only. Inputs not assigned to DPI or
SPI may be configured to indications as pulse counters, digital measured values on bit
string inputs. Digital measured values and bit string inputs must be configured as starting
either with bit position 1 or 9.

RTU560 Function Description Part 5: SCADA Functions
2.1.1
SCADA Monitoring Direction
Function Distribution
The process data acquisition functions for indications processed by the RTU560 can be
split into functions handled by the:
I/O controller (IOC) of the binary input boards
process data processing (PDP) part of the CMU
protocol specific communication interface part at a CMU
The data processing functions of the communication interface is described in the
documentation of the specific communication protocol.
Binary input board functions:
Reading input register (every millisecond)
Digital filter (contact bouncing)
Oscillation suppression (signal chattering)
Signal inversion
Time out monitoring for DPI intermediate position
Store events in FIFO with time stamp
CMU - PDP:
Intermediate midpoint position handling for DPI
Command output response
Group signals
Transmission to internal communication
2.1.2
Binary Input Functions

The IOC of the binary input boards supports the indication functions. The parameter of
each function is loaded from the PDP part of the CMU at start up or if it has to be
initialized. Some parameters are valid for all of the 16 inputs; others can be set
individually per input.
The binary input boards read all of the 16 inputs periodically every millisecond regardless
of the specified data point type. The IOC handles the necessary activities for all 16 bits
within that millisecond. Reading every millisecond allows the high event resolution for
indications. Each board does this independently from each other for a block of 16 bits.
If the data point is Blocked the status is set to blocked and no changes are reported from
the PDP.
Parameter: Blocked
(SPI/DPI PDP Parameters)
Digital Filter
The configuration parameter Digital filter specifies how many milliseconds an input has to
be stable before it is accepted as a new signal state. The typical value is 10 ms. Digital
filter is used to prevent ordinary contact bouncing.
Parameter: Digital filter

If an indication has changed its state and should be transmitted as an event to the PDP,
the time stamp of the event is the time of the last edge before the filter time elapsed.

Oscillation Suppression
Indications which change their state very often produce a higher transmission load to
NCC. To prevent a permanent transmission it is possible to specify an automatic
indication blocking if the number of events per time period exceeds a defined value.
Oscillation suppression may be activated or deactivated individually per indication. The
configuration parameter is Maximum chatter frequency
Maximum chatter Frequency is defined to:
MAX CHA FREQ
number of changes
second
The monitoring period is calculated:
Tosc
2000
[milliseconds ]
MAX CHA FREQ
Parameter: Maximum Chatter Frequency
Tosc is the monitoring period. The maximum value is 100Hz, a typical value is 2.
The binary input board is loaded with the parameter. Each leading edge of 0->1 starts the
monitoring period tosc. Within that time interval each leading edge increments the chatter
counter register of that indication. The third change within that period puts the indication
into the dynamically blocked state. The binary input board informs the PDP by an internal
event. It starts a reset time period (fix to 60 seconds). Within that reset time, each new
start trigger (0->1 edge) starts tosc again. If the indication state is stable for at least this
reset time period, the binary input board informs PDP again by an internal event.

Intermediate Position Handling for DPI

The binary input board handles the two bits of the double indication. Signal state changes
of the DPI are transmitted to the PDP. Intermediate positions (00) are indicated by a
special status bit to PDP. The binary input board monitors the time window for
intermediate position. The time out value is loaded as a parameter from PDP. If the DPI
does not get a new end position within the allowed time, the binary input board generates
an event with the actual state and status DPI intermediate position time out.
FIFO storage
To de-couple event bursts from I/O bus transmission etc., the events are stored into the
binary input board FIFO (First in, first out buffer). Up to 50 events can be stored within the
FIFO. If the FIFO becomes full, the binary input board stops its activities until there is
space. Each event has a time stamp with a resolution of one millisecond within a minute.
The absolute time is expanded by the PDP.
2.1.3
PDP Functions of the CMU

The PDP receives all events out of the binary input board FIFO. The PDP handles all
other functions specified for that indication.
Command output response
The functionality of a response indication to stop a related command output pulse is
described in the command processing section of this document.
Intermediate Position suppression for DPI
This function is only valid for double indications (DPI). Figure 2-4 shows how it is handled
within the RTU560.
The configuration parameter Supervision Time for Midpoint specifies whether or not a
DPI message should be transmitted for the event. When the indication changes to a midposition (00), PDP keeps the first signal change internal. If an abnormal situation occurs,
the message of the leading edge is additionally sent to the NCC and allows a more
detailed analysis of the error situation of the unit.
The parameter Supervision time for midpoint specifies the time window in which the
RTU560 should inhibit the transmission of the mid-position (00). If the new state is not
indicated to the RTU in this time the RTU generates a DPI telegram with the actual
position (normally then 00). The qualifier IV (invalid) keeps 0, because this is a valid
process information.
Parameter: Supervision time for midpoint
(DPI PDP Parameters)
Indeterminate Position suppression for DPI

This function is only available for double indications (DPI).
The configuration parameter Supervision time for indeterminate position specifies
whether or not a DPI message should be transmitted for the event when the indication
changes to the indeterminate position (11). If the supervision is enabled PDP suppresses
the signal change to the indeterminate position.
The parameter Supervision time for indeterminate position specified the time window
where the RTU560 should inhibit the transmission of the indeterminate position. When
the supervision time is over and the DPI is still in the indeterminate position RTU560
generates a DPI telegram with the indeterminate position value and the qualifier IV
(invalid) set to false.

Signal Inversion
After having a stable indication signal, it is possible to define its logical state,
corresponding to the signal voltage level. This function is called the signal inversion. The
inversion is defined by a configuration parameter Invert the input value.
INVERSION = NO

2.1.4
Error Handling
Binary input board failure
A board can be set "out of service" if:
the board has never been in service
(configuration error)
the board failed during normal operation
(hardware failure, I/O bus failure etc.)
the board has been removed or rack power was lost.
If a board is set out of service the qualifiers of all configured indications are set
INVALID due to board failure. The RTU560 treats all DPI and SPI messages of that
board with qualifiers IV = 1.
A board can be set in service again during runtime if:
the board is replaced
power is turned on again in the rack
the I/O bus is working properly
When this happens, the following sequence recovers the indications:
normalize the binary input board
load all parameters for the configured indications (done by PDP)
read all values (signal state)
Reset qualifier IV to 0 and transmit the actual value and qualifier status to NCC.
Dynamic Qualifier Changes

An indication can change qualifier status at runtime if:
the binary input board fails (qualifier IV = 1)
the oscillation suppression is activated and triggered for that indication.

Analog Measured Information Processing
2.2.1
Analog Measured Information (AMI) Types

Each analog value is converted by the analog digital converter (ADC) of the analog input
boards into a signed integer presentation. The presentation is shown in Figure 2-5. The
100% input signal value is represented with 12 bit plus sign.

2.2.3
Analog Input Board Functions

The IOC of the boards supports the analog measured information functions. The
parameters of each function and each AMI are loaded from PDP at start up or if the board
must be initialized during runtime.
If the data point is blocked the status is set to Blocked and no changes are reported from
the PDP.
Parameter: Blocked
(AMI PDP Parameters)
Line Frequency and Scan Cycle

Each channel is scanned by the IOC of the analog input boards cyclically. The scan cycle
is given by the AC line frequency:
50 Hz:
580 milliseconds for all 8 channels
60 Hz:
16.6 Hz:
The scan frequency is independent from the number of configured channels. The Line
frequency must be equal to the analog input boards hardware setting (board wide
parameter).
Parameter: Line frequency

(AMI PDP Parameter)
1KGT 150 737 V001 1
2-9
Zero Value Supervision and Switching Detection

A low input signal can be forced to 0 %. This allows rejecting noise on the input signal
produced by the transducer etc. The zero value supervision is configurable with
RTUtil560 between 0.1% and 5%. The default value is set to 0.25 %.
Parameter: Zero Range
(AMI PDP Parameter)
The switching detection is a special function of the analog input boards. It is used to force
a value update to PDP if a signal changes only some few percent from/to zero. The
function is only active when threshold supervision with integration is selected. The
threshold supervision on integrator algorithm would need some cycles before the
threshold is exceeded and reported to NCC. This gives a transient situation, e.g. the 380
kV transmission line is switched but the actual current does not change more or less
immediately.
Switching detection operates in that form that every time a signal changes to/from 0 %
from/to more than 2.5 % the new value is transmitted to PDP immediately. If the new
value is below 2.5 % an event is not forced. PDP transmits the received value to NCC
regardless of any other parameter.
Switching detection is a fixed parameter and can not be parameterized

Smoothing
Unstable input signals may be smoothed to prevent too many CS updates. Smoothing
can be parameterized per input by the configuration parameter Smoothing. No smoothing
can be configured. The smoothing factor is given in binary factors.
Parameter: Smoothing

Threshold Supervision on Integrator Algorithm

Threshold supervision can be done in two different ways within RTU560. The decision of
which method to take depends on the configured parameters.
If threshold supervision with integration is selected, it is done via the analog input boards.
The IOC calculates at each cycle the difference between the last reported analog value
and the actual value. The difference is added to the accumulated value in the threshold
difference register. If the accumulated deltas exceed the parameterized threshold value,
the actual value is stored into the FIFO and reported to the PDP. The actual value
becomes the last reported value. The threshold difference register is set to zero. The
accumulation is done in consideration of the sign of the difference.
Figure 2-8:
ABB AG
Threshold Supervision with Integration
1KGT 150 737 V001 1
2-12
The threshold difference register is cleared if:

the value exceeds the threshold value
the switching detection supervision was triggered
the value passed a monitored limit
The threshold value can be parameterized by Threshold. To be independent of the scan
cycle the threshold is calculated on threshold integration per second. The threshold is
rescaled according to the Line frequency:
50 Hz:
threshold base 1s
Threshold / 0.58
12%
60 Hz:

Threshold / 0.5
10%
16.6 Hz:

Threshold / 1.62
25%
Parameter: Threshold

( AMI PDP Parameter)

Periodic update of RTU data base

If a periodic update of the RTU560 data base is required, the analog input boards can be
parameterized to transmit the AMI periodically. The configuration parameter Periodic
Update specifies how often the data base should be updated.
Parameter: Periodic Update
The periodic update is independent of threshold supervision with integration. That means
a value might be transmitted twice to PDP in a cycle:
caused by threshold exceeding
caused by periodic update
The periodic update time is selectable between 1, 2, 4, 8, 30 and 60 seconds.
FIFO storage of the analog input boards

To de-couple event bursts from I/O bus transmission etc. the events are stored into the
analog input boards FIFO. Up to 50 events can be stored within the FIFO. If the FIFO
becomes full and the IOC has to store events it stops its activities until there is space.
Each event has a time stamp with a resolution of one millisecond within a minute. The
absolute time is expanded by the PDP.
For each measured value written to the FIFO the IOC reads the actual time. The effective
time quality is equivalent to the scan cycle of the analog input board.

2.2.4

Bipolar, Unipolar and Live Zero conversion
The input signal type allows specifying unipolar input signals. That means a negative
value is not allowed. The RTU560 flags a unipolar defined input signal with the qualifier
invalid (qualifier IV = 1) if the value becomes negative (> Zero Value Supervision).
Input signals with live zero presentation (standard = 4..20 mA) are transformed to the
standard presentation of 100% respectively 0% up to 100 % by the PDP. The
conversion is done in the form that:
20 % of the input signal rage (standard: 4 mA) becomes 100% respectively 0% of
the normalized AMI value
100 % of the input signal rage (standard: 20 mA) becomes 100 % of the
normalized AMI value
Input signals below 20 % (4 mA) are set to 100% respectively 0%. For a value below
3,5 mA the AMI is indicated to be faulty (qualifier IV=1)
The configuration parameter Input signal type specifies the input is a bipolar, a unipolar or
a live zero signal. The configuration parameter Input signal range specifies the hardware
setting of the analog input boards.
Parameter: Input signal range

Threshold Supervision on absolute Threshold Value

Threshold supervision can be done on two different methods within RTU560. The
threshold supervision on absolute threshold value is done in the PDP.
In this mode the PDP checks each AMI received from the analog input boards against the
last reported value. If the new value exceeds the last reported value plus threshold the
received AMI will become last reported value and is transmitted to NCC.
The threshold value can be parameterized by Threshold. The threshold is monitored
every nn seconds. Therefore the analog input board transmits the actual value
periodically. The period is given by the configuration parameter Periodic update.

Error Handling
AMV overflow and/or A/D converter errors
The analog input board checks at start up and during each conversion the functionality of
the A/D converter. If an error is detected the AMIs are marked invalid. The qualifier IV is
set to 1 and transmitted to NCC with the new state.
For AMIs with live zero conversion, a value below 3,5 mA is marked as invalid.
Analog input boards board failure

An analog input board can be set "out of service" if:
the board has been removed on-line or subrack power was lost.
If a board is set out of service all configured AMIs are set to the invalid state. The
RTU560 transmits all AMI messages of that board to the NCC with the qualifier IV = 1.
An analog input board can be set in service again during runtime:
if the board is replaced
if power is turned on again in the rack
if the I/O bus is O.K.
When this happens, the following sequence recovers the AMIs:
normalize the analog input board
load all parameters for configured channels (from PDP)
read all values and update status
reset qualifier IV to 0 and transmit the actual value and qualifier status to NCC.

An AMI can change qualifier status at runtime if:
the analog input board fails (qualifier IV = 1)
the live zero supervision detects a current below 3.5 mA (qualifier IV = 1)
the unipolar value is below Zero Range (qualifier IV=1)
the value has an overflow of the ADC signal input (qualifier OV = 1)
the scaling by means of conversion factor gives a result of more than 100 %
(qualifier OV = 1)

Digital Measured Value Processing

There are two types of digital measured values:
Digital measured input value (DMI)
Step position input value (STI)
The RTU560 can handle different bit patterns to read and convert them into a digital
measured value:
8 bit digital measured value (DMI8)
16 bit digital measured value (DMI16)
8 bit step position value (STI)
The RTU can handle conversions for:
binary data (BIN)
binary coded decimals (BCD)
Gray code (GRAY)
The maximum length of a digital measured value is the word of 16 bit (= one binary input
board). Double word values (32 bit) are not supported.
Digital measured value presentation

Each type is converted and scaled by the PDP.

2.3.1
Binary Input Board Functions

The IOC of the binary input boards supports the digital measured value (DMI) functions.
The parameter of each function and each DMI is loaded from PDP at start up or if the
board must be initialized during runtime.
The binary input board reads all 16 inputs periodically every millisecond regardless of the
specified data point type. The IOC handles the necessary activities for all 16 bits within
that millisecond.
the PDP.
Parameter: Blocked
(DMI/STI PDP Parameters)
Digital filter
The configuration parameter Digital filter specifies how many milliseconds an input must
filter are used to prevent ordinary contact bouncing.
Consistency check
A DMI is a bit pattern of 8 or 16 bit length. The value is valid only if all binary channels of
the DMV are valid and stable for at least the consistency check time. This is given if no
input changed for the parameterized consistency check time. Any change on an input
channel re-triggers the settling time.
The minimum settling time is defined by the PDP parameter Consistency check time. The
minimum consistency time is 100 milliseconds.
Parameter: Consistency check time
FIFO storage of binary input boards

If a DMI has changed and is stable for at least the consistency time, it is stored into the
FIFO and transmitted to the PDP.
2.3.2

The PDP receives all events out of the binary input boards FIFO. The PDP handles all
other functions specified for that DMI.
Signal Inversion
Inversion is only possible for DMI not for STI inputs. The PDP parameters Invert input
signal and Invert sign of input value specify a bit inversion of the digital input value. The
inversion of the sign bit can be configured independent from the inversion of the value
bits.

The PDP parameter DMI/STI Value presentation and Input signal type specifies which
DMI type is connected to the binary input board.
STI values are always handled as 7 bit signed integer, range -63 ... +63. For DMI inputs,
the parameter Maximum value specifies the binary value that is converted to 100 % of the
scaled DMV value. The binary value of the STI is limited to the range 63 to +63.

Bit-string Input Value Processing

The RTU560 can handle bit patterns to read them and convert them into a bit-string input
value (BSI):
8 bit bit-string (BSI8)
The maximum length of a bit-string is the word of 16 bit (= one binary input board).
Double word values are not supported.
A 32 bit bit-string input is only supported by selected subdevice communication
interfaces.
If an eight bit pattern is selected the residual 8 bit of the binary input board can be used
for another digital value, for pulse counter values or indications.

The data acquisition functions for digital measured values processed by the RTU560 can
be split into functions handled by:

Integrated Total Processing
2.5.1
Integrated Total Value Types
There are two types of integrated total values (ITI) defined in the RTU560:
End of period reading counters (EPR)
Intermediate reading counters (IR)
Both types have only one source and the IR is only an intermediate value of the
corresponding EPR. That means there is one ITI which is transmitted periodically in fixed
periods.
Counts
Integrated Total Values with reset to zero at end of period

The IR reading cycle must be 1/n of end of period time

The process data acquisition functions for ITIs processed by the RTU560 can be split into

23BE23 functions:
Increment integration register
Freeze integration register into relocation register
CMU - PDP:
Freeze and read ITIs periodically
2.5.3

The IOC of the binary input boards supports the integrated total functions. The parameter
of each function is loaded from PDP at start up or if it must be initialized. Parameters can
be set individually per input.
The binary input boards read all 16 inputs each millisecond. If the channel is configured
for integrated total a signal change of 0->1 is accepted after digital filtering to be a pulse
count and increments the pulse counter register.
Whenever the PDP sent a broadcast command to freeze counter values, the the binary
input boards read the actual integration register and stores the contents into the
relocation register. The PDP receives the frozen ITI value from the 23BE23/23BE40.

Integrated Total Frequency

The binary input boards can read ITI counter increments with a frequency of max. 120
Hz. The default digital filter is 10 ms (necessary when normal relay contacts are used).
The ratio for the 0 and 1 state should be 1:1.
Freeze ITI value
EPR or IR readings are forced by the PDP periodically. The PDP sends a broadcast
command to all I/O boards: "freeze ITI registers".
Each binary input board on which ITIs are configured stores the actual integrated total
register contents into a relocation register. This is done within the normal signal
processing, the integrated total register continues counting. The frozen values are
transmitted afterwards to the PDP.
2.5.4

Reading ITI counter values and update ITI status
Reading is done:
for each configured IR cycle
for each configured EPR period
The frozen ITI values are read from all ITIs which are configured for the actual period. It is
not necessary to have all ITIs in the same EPR periods or IR cycles.
There are some qualifier information, which inform the NCC about the quality of the ITI.
These qualifiers are updated at each ITI reading.
EPR / IR parameters
With the PDP parameter Acquisition of end of period reading ITI the transmission of EPR
readings can be switched off or the EPR period in minutes is specified. The parameter
End of period wrap around counter specifies that the ITI value is not reset after an EPR
reading.
Parameter: Acquisition of end of period reading ITI
End of period wrap around counter

With the PDP parameter Acquisition of intermediate reading ITI the transmission of IR
readings can be switched of or the IR period is specified. With Unit of IR cycle it is
possible to decide whether IR period is defined in second or minute cycles.
Parameter: Acquisition of intermediate reading ITI

Direct Interfacing of Current and Voltage Transformer

The Current/Voltage Transformer Interface 560CVT02/10 is used for monitoring input
signals from three independent phases with 3 or 4 wire connections. The following
measurements are available:

Accumulated values are stored in energy registers of the 560CVT02/10 as long integer
values. On power up these values are reset to zero. The accumulated values are
cyclically transmitted to the RTU560:
Active Energy 3-phase
Apparent Energy 3-phase
Reactive Energy (Ind.) 3-phase
Reactive Energy (Cap.) 3-phase
The 560CVT02/10 provides a measure of the distortion (THD), in each phase voltage and
current waveform, as a percentage deviation from pure 50 Hz or 60 Hz sine waves by
Fast Fourier Transform algorithm (FFT):
U1, U2, U3 % THD
I1, I2, I3 % THD
The measurements (AMI, MFI) are transmitted by the subdevice communication
interface.
While MFIs are handled in the same way, AMIs are treated differently by the 560CVT02
and the 560CVT10. To convert these values into a normalized representation
AMIs are using the parameters primary rated value and measurement range
(560CVT02)
AMIs are using the highest possible value according to the conversion table in the
instruction manual (560CVT10)
All measurements are representing the secondary output of the transformer.

2.7 Logic Functions

The Logic function of the RTU560 provides the possibility to deduce virtual process
information from process information and system events using logical operations like
AND, OR, Dynamic OR or NOR.
OR groups (>=)
AND groups (&)
NOR groups
Dynamic OR groups
Security indication
Security alarm
These Group information are single point information (SPI) data objects that are
calculated from other SPIs or System Events (SEV) or in case of Security indication
and Security alarm - Security Events by logical operations. A group information data
object can be generated out of all single point information (SPI) and System Events
processed in the RTU560. Group information can also be an input to another group
information.
The number of input signals per group information is limited to 32 signals.
The group information output is communicated as SPI event on the internal
communication. The calculation is done event driven, that means every change of an
input object leads to a recalculation of the deduced process information object. They are
calculated according to the configured logical function type from the selected input
objects of type SPI or SEV.
The time stamp of the event will be the time of the input signal which forces the new
event message.
OR group
The output signal of an OR group is set to 1 when at least one input signal is set to 1. The
first signal, which is set to 1, forces the transmission of the OR group signal.
The output signal of an OR group is set to 0, when all input signals are 0. The trailing
edge of the last signal which is set to 0 forces the transmission of the OR group signal.
AND group
The output signal of an AND group is set to 1 when all input signals are set to 1. The last
input signal which is set to 1 forces the transmission of the AND group signal.
The output signal of an AND group is set to 0, when at least one input signal goes to 0.
The trailing edge of this signal forces the transmission of the AND group signal.
NOR group
The output signal of a NOR group is set to 0 when at least one input signal is set to 1.
The first signal which is set to 1 forces the transmission of the NOR group signal.
The output signal of a NOR group is set to 1, when all input signal are 0. The trailing edge
of the last signal which is set to 0 forces the transmission of the NOR group signal.
Dynamic OR group
The output signal of a dynamic OR group is set to 1 every time a input signal is set to 1.
Every signal which is set to 1 forces the transmission of the OR group signal.
ABB AG
1KGT 150 737 V001 1
2-33
The output signal of a dynamic OR group is set to 0, when all input signal are 0. The
trailing edge of the last signal which is set to 0 forces the transmission of the OR group
signal.
Security indication and Security alarm
These two functions differ from all other logic functions by their input parameters:
Generally, these functions have security events as input parameter.
Security indication
If one ore more input security event occurs, a pulse of approximately 100ms is generated
at the SPI output.
Security alarm
A security alarm is similar to a Security indication, but the output is triggered only if any
input event has occurred several times within a specified supervision time period. The
event count and the supervision time can be configured in RTUtil560.
In case of redundant CMUs the current event count and the current elapsed time will be
reset if the active CMU fails, so it's recommended to monitor security event # 5160 ("RTU
new started") to be able to recognize this situation.
Qualifier for group signals
A group signal qualifier represents the logical OR of the qualifiers of all input signals of
the group information. That means, that if the state of one of the inputs is not equal to
O.K., the output of the logic function is set to this state.

SCADA Command Direction
The following SCADA functions are described for the binary output boards
23BA20, 23BA40 and 23BO61, and the analogue output boards 23AA21 and
23AO60 as well as the binary outputs of the integrated multi input/output board
within the 560CIG10. In addition the functionality of the command supervision
boards 23BA22/23, 23BO62 and the supervision function of the 560CIG10 is
described.
The RTU560 knows following output command types:
Command Output
o
Single Command Output (SCO)
Double Command Output (DCO)
Regulation Step Command Output (RCO)

Setpoint Command Output
o
Analogue Setpoint Command Output (ASO)
Digital Setpoint Command Output (DSO)
Bit-string Output Command (BSO)
3.1
Within RTU560, the different output boards and, if requested, the command
supervision board 23BA22/23, are responsible to do the command outputs. They
are coordinated and monitored by the PDP.
The IOCs of the output boards are responsible to switch the output relays or to set
the analog output value. They supervise and monitor also the hardware. Which
kind of output is configured and wired on which channel is loaded by the PDP to
the boards during initialization in a similar form as for the input boards.
3.2
Command Output Procedures

Commands for objects can be given either in a one-step procedure (direct operate)
or for higher security requests in a two-step procedure (select before operate). The
two-step procedure decreases the residual error probability in command direction
essentially.
If the parameter Select before operate only is selected, a select before operate
procedure is necessary. Bit-string outputs (BSOxx) does not support this
parameter.
Parameter: Select before operate only
(PDP Parameters)
If the PDP receives a SELECT command, it checks whether the object is available
and if no other object is already reserved. If the check is successful, it
acknowledges the reservation with a positive confirmation. The reservation is valid
for 20 seconds. Within that time window, either the corresponding EXECUTE
Command or a DESELECT command should be received. If not, the PDP clears
the reservation of the object.
If an EXECUTE command is received within the allowed time, it is checked, if the
referring object is equal to the reserved object. If both objects are the same, the
command is executed, otherwise the EXECUTE command is rejected and negative
confirmed. The command procedure is finished, when the activation termination is
transmitted for that command.
ABB AG
1KGT 150 737 V001 1
3-1
While a command object is selected, no other command objects within the

interlocking scope of the selected one can be selected. Other selections will be
rejected. If no object is selected, multiple process command objects can be
executed in parallel using direct operate procedure.
The scope of command selection interlocking depends on the configuration of
parameter Process command interlocking mode.
Parameter: Process command interlocking mode
(RTU Parameters)
1. Interlocking per IO device / IO bus and group

Selection is interlocked against other commands of same I/O bus segment
and same command group (Command groups are Object Commands,
Regulation Commands and Setpoint Commands).
2. Interlocking per object
Selection is interlocked against same object only
3. Interlocking per object with command priority
Selection is interlocked against same object only, but selection can be
broken by a command originated from an originator (e.g. HCI, PLC,
Integrated HMI) with higher command priority. Whereas HCIs with lowest
host numbers has highest priorities, followed by PLCs, Integrated HMIs and
RTU560 webservers. Select and execute commands can break the
selection.
In case a process command is rejected, because of a selection mismatch or
command confirmation is pending, a system event SEV#242 .. SEV#260: Process
command collision with command of X is send to the originator of the rejected
command. The system events contain information about the originator which
originates the command causes the rejection.

Single Object Command Output

A single command has only one output relay. It can be configured pulse ON or
OFF command or as persistent output.
Parameter: Command type
(SCO PDP Parameters)
Single object commands can be wired with one relay contact per command (1 pole
connection) or with two relay contacts per command (2 pole connection).
Single Object commands are pulse outputs whereas the pulse duration is specified
by the parameter Command pulse length per command. Only the configured
direction is used for pulse output. The not configured direction is ignored. One
relay is occupied within a binary output board.
Parameter: Command pulse length

Double Object Command Output

A double command has two independent output relays:
one relay for ON direction
one relay for OFF direction
Double object commands can be wired with one relay contact per command (1
pole connection) or with two relay contacts per command (2 pole connection).
Double Object commands can be pulse outputs whereas the pulse duration is
specified by the parameter Command pulse length per command. Only one
channel ON or OFF can be active at the same time. The two relays occupy two
consecutive bits within an output board. The ON-relay is normally on the odd
channel (1, 3, 5 ) and the OFF-relay on the even channel (2, 4, 6 ).

Termination of Command Output by Response Indication

The pulse duration of an object command can be limited to the runtime of the
switching device (e.g. isolator). The run time end is recognized by the new position
indication. To prevent that the command is stopped before the new position is
settled, a Command release delay time can be specified.
The use of a response indication is specified by the parameters of the Response
indication for each object command. The response delay time can be specified by
the parameter Command release delay time. The default is 200 ms.
Parameter: Response indication
Parameter: Command release delay time
Figure 3-4:
(SCO/DCO PDP Parameters)

(SCO/DCO PDP Parameters)
Response Indication procedure
The response indication is a SPI or DPI message. Therefore, only the end
positions (ON/OFF) can stop the command. It is not required that the reported
indication state and the command direction (ON/OFF) do match.
A new command from NCC is accepted only when the command is switched off,
that means after the response delay time and the final termination of the command

Object Command output without supervision

The output board is doing the final output by switching the output relay(s). The
Binary output boards monitor and check an output by:
reading back the output bit pattern from the relay coils driver
supervision of the 24 V DC which switches the output relays
monitoring the output pulse time
indicating the command state by LEDs
Figure 3-5 shows the principle wiring for object commands in one pole technique.
In two pole technique two relays per command direction are needed and will be
switched by the binary output board (e.g. k1 and k9), see Figure 3-6. In that form
object commands and regulation step commands can be mixed within a board.

The coordination of the output board is done by the PDP. The interaction is shown
in Figure 3-7. If a process command is received to switch the selected output
channel, the assigned output board is requested to do the output.
Procedure:
Check if no other output is active etc.
Switch selected output relay
Start output pulse timer
Transmit a positive acknowledge (output active) to the PDP
Switch off output relay when the pulse time has elapsed
Transmit output deactivated to PDP
The PDP monitors the output commands. If it does not receive the acknowledge
information within time, it will stop the output by forcing the output board to stop.
The binary output board acknowledges output active will response the command
with Activation Confirmation to NCC.

To increase the security that only one interposing relay is switched at a time when
a command is given, object commands can be expanded with the (1 out of n)check function.
Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9 show the principle wiring between the output board and
the additional required command supervision board.

The coordination between the two output boards is done by the PDP. The
interaction is shown in Figure 3-10. When a process command is received, the
output relay is switched first with a pulse time which is longer than the configured
output pulse duration for that channel. After the output board has acknowledged
that the output relay is switched on, the supervision board is started to check the
output circuit and if positive to do the final output with the configured time for that
channel.
The 23BA22/23 allows checking two different output circuits with different nominal
resistances. But only one channel can be active at the same time (P1 or P2). If the
23BA22/23 receives a request to test and switch a command on P1 or P2 the
following sequence is started:
Check that no other output is active etc.
Select P1 or P2 for checking
Start to measure the resistance in the switched output channel (interposing
relay)
Compare the measured resistance against the parameterized upper and
lower limits
Abort all activities and transmit a negative acknowledge if the resistance is
out of limits
Switch the auxiliary relays from TEST to SWITCH position if the
resistance check is O.K.
Start the output pulse by switching the GO relays which feed the process
voltage to the selected interposing relay
Start output pulse timer
Transmit a positive acknowledge (command running) to PDP
Switch off GO relay when the pulse time elapsed
Switch back to TEST position
Transmit command stopped to PDP
The PDP will then stop the output board by a stop command. The PDP part of the
CPU monitors the output commands. If it does not receive the acknowledge
information within time, it will stop the output by forcing the supervision board to
reset and the output board to stop output.
The assignment between supervision board and the output board and the upper
and lower resistance limits have to be parameterized for each channel on the
command supervision board.
Two command supervision channels CSC (P1/P2) can be defined on each
supervision board. On the 23BA20 board can be selected which command
supervision channel monitors the board. For 1.5 pole connection, two channels can
be selected (relays 1-8 and relays 9-16) .The command supervision is valid for all
SCO and DCO commands on this board.
It must be regarded that channels connected to the same route (R1 / R2) must
have the same supervision channel CSC n.

23BA22/23 LOCAL mode

The 23BA22/23 board has a push-button on the front panel which allows inhibiting
any active output. This button is marked with LOC and a LED indicates if LOCAL is
active or not. To switch from remote to local and vice versa the push-button must
be pressed twice within 5 seconds. The LED LOC flashes -after the push-button is
pressed once- for five seconds.
As long as LOCAL mode is active, the 23BA22/23 discards any command and
returns negative acknowledgements. The position of the LOCAL/REMOTE switch
is sent to the NCC with system events # 64 to #95.
If the LOC push button is pressed twice again, the 23BA22/23 switches back to
remote mode and will accept and handle commands in the normal way.

Re-trigger of regulations commands

The output pulse duration of a regulation command can be expanded if the same
command is received within the output pulse time and can be sent to the output
board before the time elapsed. The binary output board starts the timer again.
An output pulse can also be shortened by a new command with DEACTIVATION
flag. If a DEACTIVATION command is received, the running regulation command
is stopped immediately (Support is communication protocol dependant).

Setpoint Command Output

A set point command is specified by an analog or digital set point value output. The
output can be done with or without strobe. For a strobe output, the value is valid for
the receiving unit during the additional strobe pulse output. One or two step
commands are possible. The set point command types are:
analogue output value (ASO)
Analogue output channel on an analogue output board
(current or voltage output)
digital output value (DSO)
Digital output on a binary output board
3.5.1
Analogue Setpoint Command Output

The analogue set point command output (ASO) can be done in two ways, with
strobe or without strobe. The strobe output allows triggering the concerned unit
when a new value is received. If this is not requested, the set point command can
be done without strobe.
Bipolar, Unipolar and Live Zero conversion
The analogue output value is converted to an analogue output signal by the
analogue output board. The Output signal type allows specifying unipolar output
signals. That means, a negative ASO value is set to zero.
Output signals with live zero presentation (standard = 4.20 mA) are transformed by
the PDP. The conversion is done in the form that:
0% of the normalized ASO value becomes 20 % of the output signal range
(Standard: 4 mA)
100 % of the normalized ASO value becomes 100 % of the input signal
range
(Standard: 20 mA).

Analogue Setpoint command without strobe

The analog output stays stable until a new ASO is received.
Analogue Setpoint command with strobe
For analogue setpoints with strobe, the corresponding Strobe output channel
(SOC) should be configured to any output channel of a binary output board. The
strobe Pulse length is configurable. The default value is 500 milliseconds. The
ASO must be configured to an analogue output board.
Parameter: Pulse length
Strobe (SOC)
(SOC PDP Parameters)

The PDP coordinates the output of the analogue output value and the strobe pulse.
There is a delay of approx. 50 ms between the output of the analogue value and
the strobe. This delay allows the value to become stable. The analogue output
stays stable until a new ASO is received.

Bit-String Output
3.6.1
Functionality
A bit-string output (BSO) is a persistent output on a binary output board. The

following types are possible:
Bit-string Output 1 bit (BSO1)
Bit-string output values are transparent mapped output channels. The output value
is switched on the output board and stays stable until a new value is received from
NCC for this output channel.
The maximum length of a digital measured value is a word of 16 bit (= one binary
output board, Double word values are not supported.
3.6.2
Error Handling
Output Board Failure
An output board can be set out of service if:
If an output board is set out of service, the configured output channels are set
faulty due to board failure in the data base. The RTU560 indicates that to the NCC
with diagnostic message.
An output board can be set in service again during runtime if:
the I/O bus is O.K.
If this happens, the following sequence recovers the output channels:
normalize the output board
load all parameters for configured channels by the PDP
clear faulty state in data base and update NCC
