1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This document describes the FWH2 program that controls the DRTS and also: UTS, ART/3 and
ART/100, plus UTB, all with the MICR-H control board and the firmware revision 5.XX. Appendix
1 lists new performances.
The set of basic commands may differ to some extent between the different models (for instance,
range setting): all parameters are summarised in this document.
With the FWH2 firmware direct commands are possible because the instrument works in associa-
tion with a computer. In this way the controlled instrument has acquired total flexibility for every
type of test required. The computer stores programs for repetitive tests, for tracing response curves,
for statistical analysis, etc.
The purpose of the FWH2 program is to receive command sequences from the PC, to put them into
effect, and to send test results to the instrument. The instrument will follow every step of the in-
structions received, but is unable to take any independent initiative.
The PC does not control the instrument in real-time. A typical operation would be as follows:
- the operator sets up the test;
- the PC program transforms the test into a series of groups of parameters (I, V, etc.);
- when the test begins, the first group of parameters will be sent to the instrument through the serial
interface;
- the instrument executes the test and sends the measured response time (or threshold) to the PC;
- the PC passes on to the next group of parameters, inserting the pause time required by the relay to
return to its initial status;
- the test continues in this way until completion.
The first thing to be defined is the situation with the parameters before starting the test. There are, in
fact, tests which commence with parameters at zero, and others with parameters not at zero (Fig. 1).
For this reason the PC sends a com-
mand which defines the initial val- STATUS REST TEST REST
ues, called healthy values. From that
moment until completion of the test
PARAMETERS
these values will be the reference
values of test end. Also the healthy A) OVER - RELAY
values can be modified while the test
is running.
The maximum number of cycles in a test is 49; the minimum duration of a cycle is 1 ms.
Generally speaking, whatever the total number of cycles, the PC can define:
- the evolution of the parameters during the test;
- the measurements to be made during the test;
- in the case of several cycles, the conditions required in order to pass on to the next cycle;
- the value of the parameters at the end of the test.
By means of this dialogue it is possible to simulate even the manual regulation of a parameter.
The following paragraphs will give the details about: parameters to set up the test; initial instrument
status; commands to the instrument; results transmitted to the PC; communication protocol.
Tables from 1 to 3 show the variables and their codes; table 4 shows variables and answers ordered
by code.

MEASUREMENTS
B) MEASUREMENTS OF TRIP AND RESTORE DELAY
The recording is handled as standard waveform that are recorded into the instrument. Usually, when
the waveform is reproduced, the instrument measures the timings of the enabled contacts, from the
beginning of the recording.
The value to be generated is set in a trip delay test that selects as waveform the code of the recorded
wave. This test message will also contain: the ranges of voltages and currents, the enabled trip
commands and their level and the auxiliary voltage.
Note that if the duration of the test is longer than the sampled wave form, the generation of the
wave restarts from the first sample. Besides, given the sampling frequency, the instrument automat-
ically selects the frequency of the filter of wave form reproduction (32 times the sampling frequen-
cy), in order to optimise the generated waveform.

It is possible to update the resident program FWH2 using the UPGRADE program.
Normally, FWH2 waits the PC for the operating codes of the commands. When FWH2 receives the
updating code (NEWFW command), it waits for the command of frame transmission (NEWFRM)
that contains the new release. To make this possible, FWH2 has a fixed core that controls: serial in-
terface, command code recognition, and the instructions for the upgrade of the program.
First of all this core executes the test of validity of the code received with each frame; if the mes-
sage is validated, the program stores into it into the dynamic RAM. When all the message has been
received (256 frames), the program waits for the final upgrade command (UPDFW); then, it starts
up with the actual replacement of the former FWH2 issue. At any moment the instrument can in-
form the PC about the number of the frame being updated (UPDFRM).
The core tests the validity of the FWH2 program at each power-on: if the program is found corrupt-
ed, the core sends an error code to the PC, to inform that it is necessary to re-load the control pro-
gram.

Table 1 summarises: the outputs that can be generated; the parameter code number; its field of vari-
ability; the unit of measurement.
All parameters controlling amplitudes can be pre-set in value and in gradient. The two selections
may even coexist in the same test, and their meaning will be explained further on.
Note that rate of change parameters are active only if a threshold test is selected. All parameters
change their value linearly with time:
In this type of test usually one variable is changed at a time, or more parameters of the same type
(example: all currents). If the relay controls a complex variable (power, impedance) usually only
one parameter is changed at a time.
FWH2 accepts more gradients at a time, but MAN and EDITOR restrict this selection to not being
of different variables: this is to avoid misunderstanding on test results.
In a threshold test, if the gradient is zero the parameter will not change; otherwise, as test starts the
parameter starts changing with the programmed slope, starting from the initial value. Test stop de-
pends upon the type of parameter, as explained later on.
Different instruments have different number of ranges and range values; available ranges are re-
ported in table 1. Figure 4 illustrates these parameters.
The parameter VOLTAGE RANGE has the names UMX1 = phase 1; UMX2 = phase 2; UMX3
= phase 3, and sets the RMS maximum value of the voltage on that phase. The range can be
modified while there is an output in DRTS and UTS; the range selection must be performed
while there is no output for all other instruments. Ranges are listed in Table 1. The parameter is
automatically set by the RUN program with instruments UTS and DRTS; with ART/3, ART/100
and UTB they must be set by the programmer.
NOTE: on DRTS.3, output V4 does not have the range selection.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 10/55
The parameter VOLTAGE OUTPUT has the following identification names: UPH1, UPH2,
UPH3, phase voltages in VRMS. The value of these parameters cannot exceed UMX1, UMX2,
and UMX3, respectively. For DRTS.3, output U4 is controlled by UPH4, that cannot exceed the
fixed range of 125 (or 300) V.
The resolution is reported in table 1.
The selection VOLTAGE SOCKET SELECTION (name SUST), has allows switching the posi-
tive end of the single-phase voltage output onto one the four sockets marked U1, U2, U3, U0.
The neutral is applied to the socked UN (not selectable).
The VOLTAGE RATE OF CHANGE selection has the names GU1, GU2, GU3, GU4 for phases
1, 2, 3, 4 (DRTS.3 only). The unit is percent of selected range per second.
The test stops:
- at the moment of tripping of the first programmed contact;
- at zero value;
- at UMX;
- as the maximum time of the cycle is expired.
In the last three cases, the instrument answers with a special code.
The selection VOLTAGE ANGLES has the names: AU11, AU21, AU31, AU4, which refer re-
spectively to:
- the rotation of U1 with respect to the absolute reference;
- the U2-U1 angle AU21 and the U3-U1 angle AU31, both before and after test start.;
- the rotation of U4 with respect to the absolute reference.
The definition corresponds to what can be used by a phase meter. The sign of the angle is
POSITIVE for clockwise rotation for AU11, AU21, AU31, and is POSITIVE for anticlockwise ro-
tation for AU4. If not otherwise specified, values are 120 for AU21 and -120 for AU31.
NOTE: for AU11, AU21, AU31 the definition is not the standard one, and differs also from the one
used by the program X.TEST, where all vectors are referred to an absolute reference and are posi-
tive for anticlockwise rotation. The DLL file of program X.TEST executes the conversion.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 11/55
If the value of AU11 is other than zero, and the values of AU21 and AU31 are not modified, all
voltages will rotate together with AU11 as the test starts. If it is only necessary to rotate U1, leaving
U2 and U3 in their absolute positions, angles AU21 and AU31 must be modified to the new value
with respect to U1.
Angle resolution is 0,01.
The VOLTAGE ANGLE RATE OF CHANGE selection is called GAU11, GAU21, GAU31,
for the gradient of angles AU11 (that is U1 fault with respect to healthy), 2-1 and 3-1 respective-
ly. The unit of measure is degree/s. Note that as all voltages and currents are referred to U1, the
gradient of AU11 moves all vectors (voltages and currents) at the meantime. Note that the gradi-
ent of angle AU4 is not available.
Test stops:
- at the moment of tripping,
- at the maximum value of the cycle.
In the last case the instrument answers with a special code.
The VOLTAGE U1 RATE OF CHANGE parameter has name GAUA. With respect to GAU11,
it moves U1 only: at the end of the gradient, all relative angles will be modified.
Test stops:
- at the moment of tripping,
- at the maximum value of the cycle.
In the last case the instrument answers with a special code.
3.2 Frequency
The OUTPUT FREQUENCY selection (name FOUT) refers to the output frequency. Frequency
switching does not modify the amplitude of the output (Fig. 5), nor will the initial angle be al-
tered. With SYN selection on the previous parameter, angle selection remains valid only if set
before the start of the test. The angle between phases shifts as time goes on.
UR
TN c
TD
The FREQUENCY OR SYNCHRONISM selection, name FSYN, has the following selections:
- code 01: the frequency of all outputs is modified, for both voltage and current;
- code 02: the output frequency only is modified, and all the rest remain at the healthy value;
- code 03: the frequency of currents is modified, while voltages remain at the healthy value;
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 12/55
- code 04:, the output frequency of I1 and voltages is modified, I2 and I3 remain at the healthy val-
ue;
- code 05: only the output frequency of V4 is modified: all other outputs remain at the healthy val-
ue;
- code 06: output frequencies of V4 and V1 are modified: all other outputs remain at the healthy
value.
This selection makes it possible to check three-phase frequency relays, or synchronising relays,
which require simultaneous use of two outputs having different frequencies.
The FREQUENCY RATE OF CHANGE selection (name GFREQ), enables ramping the output
frequency, defined by FOUT. The unit is in Hz/s.
The test stops:
- at the moment of tripping;
- minimum: at 1 Hz for DRTS and UTS; 25 Hz for ART and UTB;
- maximum: at 2 kHz for DRTS; 1 kHz for UTS; 500 Hz for ART and UTB;
- at maximum time.
In the last three cases the INSTRUMENT answers with a special code.
With SIN selection on the previous parameter, the selection of the angles will remain valid only if
made before the start of the test. The angle between the phases after a time T and gradient G has
the value of:
(ANGLE) = 6.28 x T x (FN + G x T).
3.3 Current
The instrument generates three currents. Fig. 6 illustrates the selections of these parameters.
IMXR
IPHR
-AIBR +AIYR
IPHB IPHY
IMXB IMXY
The parameter CURRENT RANGE has the name IMX1 = phase 1; IMX2 = phase 2; IMX3 =
phase 3, and it refers to the absolute maximum value of the output current on that phase. The
current can be modified while there is an output in DRTS and UTS; the range selection must be
performed while there is no output for other instruments. Values available for selection are listed
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 13/55
in Table 1. The parameter is automatically set by the RUN program with instruments UTS and
DRTS; with ART/3, ART/100 and UTB this must be set by the programmer.
The parameter CURRENT OUTPUT has the following names: I1, I2, I3, phase currents. For
these parameters the value cannot exceed IMX1, IMX2, IMX3, respectively.
The CURRENT RATE OF CHANGE selection has been given the names GI1, GI2, GI3. The
unit is percent of selected range per second.
The test stops:
- at the moment of tripping;
- at zero;
- at IMAX;
- at the maximum cycle time.
In the last three cases the instrument answers with special codes.
The selection CURRENT ANGLE has been given the names AI21, AI31, which refer to the an-
gles IS-IR and IT-IR respectively. Definitions are the same as for voltage angles. If not otherwise
specified, the values are +120 for AI21 and -120 for AI31.
The CURRENT ANGLE RATE OF CHANGE selection has been given the names GAI21,
GAI31, for the gradient of angles 1-2 and 1-3 respectively.
Unit: degrees per second.
The test stops:
- at the moment of tripping,
- at the maximum cycle time.
In the last case the instrument answers with a special code.
The selection I SOCKET SELECTION (name MUSI) has the purpose of switching both ends of
the single-phase current output onto two of the four sockets marked I1, I2, I3, IN. The I1 selec-
tions (I2, I3) cause the current to pass between I1 (I2, I3) and IN. Selections I12 (I23, I31) make
the current to flow between I1 and I2 (I2 and I3, I3 and I1).
The VOLTAGE-CURRENT ANGLE selection (name AUIR) refers to the angle between IR and
UR (negative angle = current lags; Fig. 7). All currents rotate together with IR. If AU11 is not
zero, and AUI1 is not modified as test starts, currents rotate of the value AV11. If this is not
what is required, the value of AVI1 must be modified.
Referring to the mathematical definition of the angle (positive angle = counter-clockwise rotation),
all angles, exception made for AUI1, are defined with opposite sign. This convention must be taken
into account for further transformations.
The VOLTAGE-CURRENT ANGLE RATE OF CHANGE (name GAUI1) refers to the varia-
tion of the angle between UR and IR. Unit: degrees per second. Note that as all currents are re-
ferred to I1, the gradient of AUI1 moves all currents at the meantime.
The threshold test stops:
- at the moment of tripping;
- at maximum cycle time.
In the last case the instrument answers with a special code.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 14/55
The CURRENT I1 RATE OF CHANGE parameter has name GAIA. With respect to GAUI1, it
moves I1 only: at the end of the gradient, all current relative angles will be modified.
Test stops:
- at the moment of tripping,
- at the maximum value of the cycle.
In the last case the instrument answers with a special code.

The selection POINT ON WAVE (code POINTW) allows controlling the starting value of V1,
expressed in degrees. This means that it is possible to select whether the voltage will change
when the sinusoidal waveform crosses the zero (0), or when it is at maximum (90). Variable
range: XXX degrees. When the parameter is selected, if a pre-fault value is programmed, test
starts only when the voltage reaches the programmed angular value, without creating any lack of
continuity.
The selection ABSOLUTE ANGLES (code SAAS) allows switching angles at the selected val-
ues, at any moment. This means that, on cycle N+1 after a trip, it is possible to generate currents
and voltages on two different instruments being in phase among them. Variable range: 0 = nor-
mal angles; 1 = absolute. The difference with respect to POINTW is that, if a pre-fault value is
programmed, test starts as soon as the trip is sensed, thus creating a lack of continuity.
The OUTPUT WAVEFORMS selection (name OWAV), refers to the selection of a wave-form
other than a 50 Hz sine-wave. Its values are summarised in the following table.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 15/55
Selection MODE 6I OR 6V. This applies only to DRTS. With the external amplifier AMI-150, it
is possible to generate three currents on the AMI-150 (and three voltages on the DRTS), or six
currents: three on the AMI-150 and three on the DRTS. With the external amplifier AMIV-3, it
is possible to generate six voltages or six currents: three on the AMIV-3 and three on the DRTS.
With the external amplifier AMI-3, it is possible to generate six currents: three on the AMI-3 and
three on the DRTS. Parameters are: 0 = 3 I + 3 V (AMI-150, AMIV/3 and AMI/3); 1 = 6 I
(AMI-150; AMIV-3 and AMI-3); 2 = 6 V (AMIV_3 only).
Selection ART/100 MODE. This applies only to ART/100, that has two amplifiers that can be
operated either as a current source or as a voltage source. Operating modes are:
- For the current source: I (high currents) or Vo (low voltages);
- For the voltage source: V (high voltages) or Io (low voltages).
Current and voltage that can be switched on different output sockets are I and V. The operating
modes selection is summarised in Appendix 1.
The D.C. VOLTAGE OUTPUT selection (name UUCC) allows for regulation of the auxiliary
DC voltage value, from 0 to 130V or 260 V.
The D.C. VOLTAGE RATE OF CHANGE selection (name GUCC) permits variation of the DC
voltage. The unit is percent of the range (130 or 260V) per second. The test stops:
- at the moment of tripping;
- at zero value;
- at the maximum value;
- at the maximum test time.
In the last three cases the DRTS answers with special codes.
Auxiliary outputs are four for DRTS and ART/100: A1, A2, A3, A4. Other instruments have two
auxiliary outputs: A1, A2. Available parameters:
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 16/55
- Selection of the initial level (AUX1; AUX2; AUX3; AUX4), which defines the position of the
contact (Open or Closed);
- Selection of the switch delay (TIM_A1; TIM_A2; TIM_A3; TIM_A4), which is independently
programmable for the different outputs.
Since the reference contact may also be one of those to be measured, it is possible to check the du-
ration of the opening or closing of a contact.

The parameter MAXIMUM CYCLE TIME, name TMAX, indicates the maximum duration of
the cycle. The minimum programmable value, is 1 ms. It will remain inactivated if, before this
interval has expired, occurs a trip of:
. all programmed inputs (AND logic), in case of measure temporisation;
. at least one of the programmed inputs (OR logic), in case of threshold (see figure 9);

otherwise it passes on to the next cycle. The missed trip is recorded, and any gradient searches in-
cluded in the test are blocked at the value reached at the TMAX instant.
Note that in case of threshold, the values given are the selected parameters values, and eventually
the maximum values and zero.
The PAUSE parameter, name TPAU, can be used to introduce a pause in the evolution of any
test during which no measurements are being performed, and which are limited to checking that
the inputs have not changed status. Watch out because it is an exception: it is a command fol-
lowed by its field (pause length). If count inputs C1TTL or C5TTL have been selected, test result
includes the number of transitions detected during the pause.
The parameter INPUT SELECTION, which has the name IN_Y (Y = 1-8). It allows selection of
those contacts required to measure the response time. The values of the variable are:
- NO: the input is IGNORED.
- NA: the level at the beginning of the measurement (or of the measurement cycle) is OPEN;
- NC: the level at the beginning of the measurement (or of the measurement cycle) is CLOSED.
The parameter TIME MEASUREMENT STOP, which has been given the name STOPY (Y = 1-
8). It permits selection of the transitions on which the time measurement should be stopped. The
values that can be assumed by this variable are:
- SC: stop at a tripping;
- RI: Stop at a release.
This selection is bound by the selection of NA or NC for the contact.
The parameter TIMER START has been given the name RIMT, and permits the operator to se-
lect the instant at which the measurement of the delay time will start. The values that this varia-
ble can assume are:
- GLA: measurement starts with the generation of the fault;
- CYS: measurement starts with the tripping of the contact CY;
- CYR: measurement starts with the release of contact CY
The following applies only to DRTS and ART/100. The first two parameters refer to trip inputs C1
to C8; the last two refer to count inputs, called C1TTL and C5TTL.
The parameters TRIP INPUT LEVEL, codes LIVING1-4 and LIVING5-8, with X as variable
field, allow setting the threshold of trip inputs, separately for inputs C1-C4, and C5-C8, that have
an independent reference. The coding of variable X is performed according to the following ta-

ble, that sets the input threshold. It is possible to select inputs voltage clean or under voltage; in
case of voltage clean the selection is 48 V, which is the wetting voltage of the DRTS.

The parameters DEBOUNCE SELECTION, codes SETDEB C1-4 and SETDEB C5-8, allow
setting the time during which the instrument awaits for the input to be stabilised: this allows
passing the initial contact bounces. The field is 0 to XXXX us; the DRTS executes the debounce
with a minimum delay of 64 us, and then with 32 steps of 64 us each, up to 2 ms.
The parameter COUNTER INPUT, which has the name IN_Y (Y = C1TTL-C5TTL). It allows
selection of inputs C1, C5 that can be counted. The values of the variable are:
- NO: the input is IGNORED.
- NA: POSITIVE transitions are counted;
- NC: NEGATIVE transitions are counted.
The parameter NUMBER OF IMPULSES has the name AR(C1-C5), and allows measuring the
time corresponding to the programmed number of counts. The range of the variable is 0 to
XXXXXXX impulses. Note that the time measurement starts from the first detected transition
after test start.
The DRTS and ART/100 feature a connector with signals at low voltage and power (0 power), that
can be used to simulate voltage and currents with non-traditional transducers such as voltage divid-
ers and Rogowsky coils. Outputs are voltage only; relevant parameters are the followings.
The parameter VOLTAGE RATIO, code SET KTV, allows programming the primary to sec-
ondary voltage ratio. If, for instance, the transducer has the ratio 100 kV/ 2 V, setting 50000 it is
possible to program a test with primary voltage equal to 100 kV: the DRTS will generate 2 V.
Attention: the maximum voltage is 7.26 V.
The parameter CURRENT RATIO, code SET KTA, allows programming the primary to second-
ary current ratio. If, for instance, the transducer has the ratio 2 kA/ 2 V, setting 1000 it is possible
to program a test with primary voltage equal to 2 kA: the DRTS will generate 2 V. Attention: the
maximum voltage is 7.26 V or 0.726 V, depending upon the selection of next parameter.
The parameter CURRENT RANGE, code SET FS-I, allows programming the current range. The
argument X is 0 = 7.26 V, or 1 = 0.726 V. This allows increasing the test accuracy when the sec-
ondary voltage is small. If, for instance, the transducer has the ratio 2 kA/ 0.2 V, setting 1000 it
is possible to program a test with primary voltage equal to 2 kA: the DRTS will generate 0.2 V:
this allows overloading the current by a factor of 3.5. If instead it is necessary an higher over-
load, selecting the range of 7.26 V and setting the ratio at 10000 it is possible to simulate an
overload of 35 times the nominal current, without saturating the output.
3.9 Measurement
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 19/55
The DRTS and ART/100 feature the optional capability of measuring voltages and currents. There
are two commands; a separate code informs if the option is available.
The parameter ENABLE MEASUREMENT sets the operation of the measurement board. There
are four inputs on the option: 10 V; 250 V; 20 mA; 20 A; for all, it is possible to measure the
A.C. or D.C. voltage. It is possible to send this parameter within an healthy or fault message.The
meaning of the parameter is summarised in the following table.
The Io6432 option allows increasing the number of digital inputs and outputs. The maximum ex-
pansion is 96 inputs and 48 outputs. Inputs and outputs are numbered starting from 17: the former
16 refer to the ones already available or to future expansions.
TRIP ENABLE is performed by parameters ABI (1-16); (17-32); (33-48); (49-64); (65-80);
(81-96); (97-112). The first one (1-16) is not used for the moment; second one (17-32) is the first
group of trip inputs.
Variable range is XXXXX (5 digits), that are the decimal translation of the selection performed on
each input, with the definition: 0 = disabled. Order is: input 17 = LSB. Therefore, code 00000
means all inputs disabled; code 00001 means input 17 enabled, and so on. Default is 00000 (disa-
bled).
TRIP LEVEL SELECTION is performed by parameters SIN (1-16); (17-32); (33-48); (49-64);
(65-80); (81-96); (97-112). The first one (1-16) is not used for the moment; second one (17-32) is
the first group of trip inputs. This selection applies only if the input is enabled.
Variable range is XXXXX (5 digits), that are the decimal translation of the selection performed on
each input, with the definition: 0 = Normal Open. Order is: input 17 = LSB. Therefore, code 00000
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 20/55
means all inputs Normal Open; code 00001 means input 17 Normal Closed, and so on. Default is
00000 (disabled).
TIMER START FROM TRIP is selected by parameters ASC (1-16); (17-32); (33-48); (49-64);
(65-80); (81-96); (97-112). The first one (1-16) is not used for the moment; second one (17-32) is
the first group of trip inputs.
Variable range is XXXXX (5 digits), that are the decimal translation of the selection performed on
each input, with the definition: 0 = disabled. Order is: input 17 = LSB. Therefore, code 00000
means time measurement from test start; code 00001 means time measurement from trip of input
17, and so on. Default is 00000 (from test start).
TIMER START FROM RESET is selected by parameters ARI (1-16); (17-32); (33-48); (49-
64); (65-80); (81-96); (97-112). The first one (1-16) is not used for the moment; second one (17-32)
is the first group of trip inputs.
Variable range is XXXXX (5 digits), that are the decimal translation of the selection performed on
each input, with the definition: 0 = disabled. Order is: input 17 = LSB. Therefore, code 00000
means time measurement from test start; code 00001 means time measurement from reset of input
17, and so on. Default is 00000 (from test start).
TIMER STOP SELECTION is performed by parameters ARR (1-16); (17-32); (33-48); (49-
64); (65-80); (81-96); (97-112). The first one (1-16) is not used for the moment; second one (17-32)
is the first group of trip inputs. This selection applies only if the input is enabled.
Variable range is XXXXX (5 digits), that are the decimal translation of the selection performed on
each input, with the definition: 0 = Trip; 1 = Reset. Order is: input 17 = LSB. Therefore, code
00000 means stop time measurement as selected inputs trip; code 00001 means stop time measure-
ment as input 17 resets, and so on. Default is 00000 (timer stop on trip).
Digital outputs have two settings: level and timing with respect to test start.
There are three commands, that are automatically handled by MAN-R. These commands are not to
be used for preparing test programs.
1) NEWFDO has as only argument the code of the wave-form to initialise (from 16 to 99).
- 2 byte for the delay in s between this sample and the following one;
- 6 couples of 2 byte, that correspond to the value to generate for VR, VY, VB and IR, IY, IB. The
phase generation is in 2-complement, as an integer value, exception made for the maximum nega-
tive value that is -32767 instead of -32768, for a symmetry with the positive values (max. 32767).
To 0 corresponds the code 0000; maximum positive value is 7FFF (that is 1.414 times the fault val-
ue), and maximum negative is 8001. The first byte sent is the low one (big endian encoding).
- 2 bytes for CRC data (see chap. 7.1.1).
For the command structure please see chapter 7.3.2.
4.1 Introduction
When switched on, the instrument checks up on its own status, makes sure that it is connected to the
PC, then puts itself on standby to receive commands.
Table 2 summarises the commands transmitted by the PC to the instrument, and all the other data
that, together with the test parameters, define the type of action required:
- The number of cycles in the test;
- The type of action demanded of the instrument;
- Asynchronous commands for this test.
The conditions required before the start of the test must be defined before the test begins.
Generally speaking, the conditions for passage from one cycle to the next are:
- A single trip (threshold) or multiple trips (timing) have occurred;
- A parameter has reached the minimum or maximum value specified;
- The maximum time specified has expired.
The significance of the identification names and their suitability will be explained later.
The setting of the PRE-FAULT VALUES, name VALI, permits the definition of the conditions
both before and after the test. With this selection one can pass ONLY FIXED PARAMETERS.
The selections of gradients are considered to be errors. The only parameter that can be selected
from the AUXILIARY OUTPUTS is AUX. Only the INPUT SELECTION can be selected from
the TIME MEASUREMENT SELECTION.
This setting is always transmitted before the starting of a test, in order to transmit the parameters
UMAX and IMAX, and also TMAX. The command VALI is given alone. After VALI, the instru-
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 23/55
ment generates no more outputs. In fact, it only generates outputs when it receives messages con-
taining NUCI.
The parameter TOTAL NUMBER OF CYCLES, name NUCI, is numerical only, and indicates
the number of cycles involved in the test. One single test corresponds to the value 1.
The parameter RUNNING CYCLE, name CICO, is numerical only, and separates the parameter
groupings of the different cycles. This parameter is followed by the type of action required in the
cycle, and then by any one of the parameters listed in Table 1.
The command THRESHOLD TEST, name PRSO, comes directly after the parameter CICO, and
defines the fact that the cycle to be executed is a search for a threshold. After this command at
least one gradient of a parameter must necessarily be present.
The command DELAY TEST, name PRRI, is found directly after the parameter CICO, and de-
fines the fact that the cycle to be executed is a delay-time measurement. There should be no gra-
dients after PRRI.
The command GENERATE PRE-FAULT VALUES, name TFIS, permits the values defined by
the most recent VALI command to be generated through the instrument output. Normally this
would be the first operating command, and also the last one at the end of a test. Even when TFIS
is the only command, it is still preceded by NUCI and CICO. The duration of TFIS can be speci-
fied with the parameter TPRE, argument XXXXXX.XXX s (feature available on revision 5.X).
The command RESET INSTRUMENT, code REFI, allows resetting immediately all outputs, at
the end of the test program.
These commands are not part of the test message, and are not preceded by NUCI or CICO. They are
used by MAN and RUN programs to control the DRTS during the operation.
The command ASYNCHRONOUS RESET, name REAS, orders the immediate return to zero of
all outputs. The instrument consequently stops all operations in progress at once, without trans-
mitting the partial results of any measurements already performed.
The command ASYNCHRONOUS STOP, name STAS, orders the immediate cessation of all ac-
tivities in progress, with a return to the initial values as established by the most recent VALI.
Consequently, the instrument stops any operations in progress at once, without transmitting the
partial results of any measurements already performed.
The command REPEAT, name REPE, orders a repetition of the last cycle transmitted and the in-
strument finds this information in its buffer memory. This command reduces to a minimum the
time required for repeated tests.
The command MODEL TYPE, name MODE, asks the instrument to transmit data relating to:
- The model;
- The serial number;
- The firmware release number.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 24/55
The command INSTRUMENT STATUS, name STAT, asks the instrument if it is working, or in
standby awaiting commands.
The command RESTART AFTER A FAULT, name REST, orders the instrument to start up
again in spite of the fact that it has signalled the presence of a fault to the PC. With this com-
mand an attempt can be made to restart a test even after an initial fault has been signalled.
The NEW FIRMWARE RELEASE command, name NEWFW, tells the instrument that will be
transmitted a sequence of commands with the new FW release.
The FIRMWARE FRAME NUMBER command, name NEWFRM, transmits to the instrument a
part of the new FW release (2048 bytes).
The UPDATE FIRMWARE RAM > EPROM command, name UPDFRM, commands the in-
strument to update the FLASH EPROM that contains the program. This can be done only when
all the new firmware has been entirely transmitted, using a series of NEWFRM commands.
The NEW WAVE-FORM command, name NEWFDO, tells the instrument that will be transmit-
ted a series of FRMFDO commands, with the binary samples of a recording. The wave-form
code is a parameter of NEWFDO.
The NEW WAVE-FORM FRAME command, name FDOFRM, transmits to the instrument a
digital sample of the wave-form (all the six phases).
The END WAVE-FORM command, name ENDFDO, informs the instrument that the wave-form
transmission has ended.
When the dialogue commences, the first commands transmitted to the instrument are:
- MODE: this informs the PC to which model it is connected, and the options available.
- VALI: with this command the PC initialises the instrument to the default values presented to the
user. This message will include VMAX, IMAX, the angles, and also TMAX.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 25/55
Table 3 lists the measurements that can be performed by the instrument. These measurements can
be performed by all instrument models. The measurements are divided into four groups:
- Measurement of time delay;
- Measurement of thresholds;
- Trips during the pause;
- Other answers of the instrument.
The PC specifies these measurements by means of corresponding commands. Table 3 also lists oth-
er replies from the instrument to the PC.
DELAY TIME, codes TRIT1-5 and TRIT 6-8; it is the measurement of trip delays.
TIMEOUT, codes TOUT1-5 and TOUT 6-8; it informs that the corresponding input did not trip
during the programmed maximum time.
NO IMPULSE, code TOUT(C1-C5): it informs that no transition has been detected during the
programmed maximum time.
The parameter TRIPPED CONTACT, code COSO, identifies the switched contact among the se-
lected one (OR logic). The variable may be:
. A numerical field, which corresponds to the tripped contact as per the following code:
.. 1 - 5 = C1 - C5;
.. 10 - 12 = C6 - C8.
. TIMEOUT, code 06, means that no trip had taken place within the maximum time.
. MAX VALUE, code 07, if the maximum value has been exceeded before tripping;
. MIN VALUE, code 08, if the minimum value has been exceeded before tripping.
The parameter VOLTAGE, codes RGU1, RGU2, RGU3, RGU4, correspond to gradients GU1,
GU2, GU3, GU4. Take care as units change among ranges and instruments.
The parameter VOLTAGE ANGLE, codes RGAU11, RGAU12, RGAU13, correspond to gra-
dients GAU11, GAU21, GAU31. Note that the gradient of angle AU4 is not available.
The parameter CURRENT, codes RGI1, RGI2, RGI3, correspond to the current gradients GI1;
GI2; GI3 respectively. Take care as units change among ranges and instruments.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 26/55
The parameter CURRENT ANGLE, codes RGAI21, RGAI31, correspond to the gradients
GAI21, GAI31.
The parameter D.C. VOLTAGE, code RGDCC, corresponds to the gradient GUCC.
The parameter TRIPPED INPUT, code COPA, informs of the result of the PAUSE test. During
PAUSE, the instrument checks that the status of the selected inputs does not change during the
pause. Should such a change occur, the instrument will inform the PC, by means of the identify-
ing code COPA 01-08: 111 = C1 and so on.
At the MODE request for the model, the instrument provides the following information.
The parameter INSTRUMENT MODEL, name MODEL, tells the PC which model and options
are present.
The parameter TYPE OF INSTRUMENT, name STRUM, tells the PC the type of instrument.
The parameter VCC TYPE, TIVC, is 1 if V = 130 V, and 2 if V = 260 V. NOTE: codes for these
answers are listed at the end of table 4.
The parameter FIRMWARE RELEASE, code RELFW, reports the FWH2 release. The field is
XX.XX: first two digits refer to the main revision number; the second two are minor revisions.
The parameter STATIC RAM, code SRAM, is the dimension in kbyte of the static RAM. The
field is XXXX kbyte.
The parameter DYNAMIC RAM, code DRAM, is the dimension in kbyte of the dynamic RAM.
The field is XXXX kbyte.
The parameter FLASH EPROM, code FLASH, is the dimension in kbyte of the FLASH pro-
gram memory. The field is XXXX kbyte.
The parameter NUMBER OF WAIT STATES, code WAITS, is the number of wait states when
accessing the static RAM. Field: X cycles.
The parameter TYPE OF BOOSTER, code BOOST, codes the type of amplifier connected to the
DRTS. Coding is: 0 = no amplifier; 1 = AMI-150; 2 = AMIV-3; 3 = AMI-3.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 27/55
The parameter IO6432 EXPANSION, code IO6432, codes if the IO6432 option is available.
Coding is: 0 = no; 1 = yes.
The parameter MEASURE AVAILABLE, code MISUPRES, codes if the measurement board is
available. Coding is: 0 = not available; 1 = available.
At a request for the status, STAT, the instrument replies with either instrument IN STANDBY or
TEST RUNNING.
The parameter INSTRUMENT IN STANDBY, name IDLE, indicates to the PC that all opera-
tions have been performed, the results have been transmitted, and no errors are pending.
The parameter TEST RUNNING, name PRCS, indicates to the PC that the last action ordered is
still in progress.
During the upgrade of FWH2, the parameter UPDATED FRAME to an enquiry, FRMUPD, tells
the PC the number of the frame being updated in flash eprom.
At any moment, the parameter FAULT, name FAUL, to an enquiry, indicates to the PC that
there is a malfunction in the instrument; the character of the fault can be identified from the code
number. Table 5 lists all possible errors and the corresponding codes.
The parameter MEASURED VALUE is the measurement of the input. After ENABLE
MEASUREMENT is set, this parameter is available after an ENQ command, until ENABLE
MEASUREMENT is set to zero. This parameter can be transformed in the actual measurement
taking into account the range selection of above table, as per the following formula.
With option IO6432, there are two more answers for time measurements, one more for threshold
measurements, and one more for pause.
DELAY TIME has the code TRIT(1-112), argument XXXX.XXX s, resolution 1 ms. Unlike all
other parameters, this field has a variable dimension, according to the measured time, so
XXXX.XXX is the maximum length; the answer 470 means 470 ms. The first 16 codes (1-16) are
not used for the moment.
TIMEOUT OF AN ENABLED INPUT in a time delay test has the code TOUT(1-112). The first
16 are not used for the moment.
The parameter TRIPPED CONTACT, code COSO, argument XX or XXX, is modified to accept
the additional trip inputs. As a consequence, the coding is the following:
. 01 - 05 = C1 - C5;
. 10 - 12 = C6 - C8.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 28/55
. TIMEOUT, code 06, means that no trip had taken place within the maximum time.
. MAX VALUE, code 07, if the maximum value has been exceeded before tripping;
. MIN VALUE, code 08, if the minimum value has been exceeded before tripping.
. 20 to 116 = C17 to C96.
TRIPPED INPUT DURING PAUSE has the code COPA (1-5). The first one is not used for the
moment; second one is the first group of trip inputs. This selection applies only if the input is ena-
bled.
Variable range is XXXXX (5 digits), that are the decimal translation of the no trip situation, with
the definition: 1 = No trip. Order is: input 17 = LSB. Therefore, code 00001 means no trip on input
17, and so on. The code 00000 (all tripped) is not transmitted.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 29/55
Communications are established between the PC and instrument according to the rule of: PC
MASTER - instrument SLAVE.
The wires used for communication are: (GND); TX; RX; DSR; DTR. The PC checks the DTR of
the instrument in order to confirm that it is present.
Example of a string:
At the end of the string, before the ETX, is added a CRC to verify that no errors occurred during the
transmission. The CRC considers the fact that all the instructions are numeric codes, transmitted in
ASCII, and this means that the most important part of the message can only be a numeric characters
(0..9), exception made for FRMFDO and NEWFRM.
The CRC is the last two digits of the sum of all the numbers except: STX, ETX, CRC and
MESSAGE LENGHT. The character + does not increment the CRC, while - adds 1.
The computing of the CRC of the instructions FRMFDO and NEWFRM is made excluding from
the sum the binary section of the command (2048+2 bytes in NEWFRM and 16+2 bytes in
FRMFDO).
The last 2 bytes in the binary section of these two commands are a binary CRC, computed as fol-
lows:
- binary sum of the frame transmitted, 2048 or 16 bytes, using a long integer and an integer respec-
tively;
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 30/55
- Exclusive or (XOR) of the sum with 0xFFFFFFFF (long integer) or 0xFFFF (integer). In the first
case (long integer) the CRC bytes are the less significant bytes of the result; in the second case (in-
teger) the CRC is the result.
The first byte transmitted is the high one, then the low one (little endian encoding).
Communication takes place according to the model illustrated on the flow-sheet in Fig. 10.
- The PC, once the top DSR has been recognised, sends a message (for example: request STATUS),
and prepares itself to receive;
- The PC;
.. In the first case, the PC sends ENQ;
.. In the second case, the PC prepares for the next operation.
- In reply, the PC transmits ACK, if it has understood, and NACK if it has not understood.
TRANSMITS:
PC ACK NACK
(1)
UTS ACK NACK ACK NACK ACK NACK ACK NACK ACK NACK
(F) (F) (F) (F) (F)
The format of the message of command transmitted from the PC to the instrument differs according
to whether it is commanding a test or requesting an immediate action.
In the gradient tests, and for the same parameter, the PC transmits in the following order:
- The first value, corresponding to the initial value to be given to the parameter. The gradient will
start to vary it, beginning with the initial value.
DOC. MIE11150 REV. 5.43 Page 32/55
- The gradient, with its value and sign. If the maximum value, the zero, or the maximum time are
reached, the instruments pass on to the next cycle: the result is signalled.
Referring, for example, to Figs. 3A and 3B, and assuming that parameter 1 is phase R current, and
that parameter 2 is phase R voltage, the messages would be as follows:
Fig. 3A:
STX LLLL; NUCI 04; CICO 01; PRSO; I101; 02000, GI101 +002, I101 05000, U101 25000,
AVIR01 +090, IN_Y01 NA, TMAX01 0010200; CICO 02; TPAU02 0000500; CICO 03; PRSO;
GI103 -002, IN_Y03 NC; CICO 04; TPAU 0000500; TFIS; CRC ETX
Fig. 3B:
STX LLLL; NUCI 04; CICO 01; PRRI; I101 05000, U101 25000, AVIR01 +090, IN_Y1 NA,
RITM01 GLA, TMAX01 0010200; CICO 02; TPAU02 0000500; CICO 03; PRRI; I103 04500,
IN_Y NC, RITM01 GLA; CICO 04; TPAU04 0000500; TFIS; CRC ETX
In Fig. 3A, the test commences (cycle 1) with the generation of voltage at 25V, and a current that
starts at 2A, increasing by 2%/s, with a maximum value of 5A. Input Y is enabled NA; the cycle
lasts for a maximum of 10.2 seconds. In cycle 2, the data are stored for O.5 s, and in cycle 3 the
value reached on IR is reduced by a gradient of -2%/s. In cycle 4 there is a final pause of 0.5 s.
In test 3B, cycle 1 generates a first voltage of 25V and a current of 5A. The time measurement is
enabled from the generation of a fault at input Y, which is NA. The maximum time is 10.2 s. In cy-
cle 2 there is a pause of 0.5 s. In cycle 3 IR is switched back to 4.5 A, the level of input Y becomes
NC, and the delay is measured from the release of the fault. In cycle 4 there is a final pause of 0.5 s.
In both tests it is assumed that the initial values were defined beforehand.
Before transmitting the values, the PC rounds off the parameters as close as possible to the pre-set
values, so that there will be no inconsistencies between the desired values and those actually gener-
ated. Table 6 lists these rounded-off values.
Before transmitting data, the PC checks for consistency between parameters, whereas the instru-
ment accepts the parameters as they come, without carrying out semantic analyses.
In the command section must be put the code of the instruction (per example for
ASYNCHRONOUS RESET the code is 910)
STX LLLL; VALI; III VAL; III VAL; ....; CRC ETX
Wave-form:
The parameter LLLL, that is the message length, will be equal to 24:
. STX = 1
. Message length = 4
. Blank between message length and FRMFDO command = 1
. FRMFDO command = 3
. ";" = 1
. 18 bytes (see chapter 3.8 for detailed information) =18
. ";" = 1
. CRC of the command =2
. ETX = 1
The CRC is computed as for any other normal instruction; the computing of the CRC is NOT per-
formed on the binary section (18 bytes) of the command.
The program updating is one of the immediate instructions; three messages are sent:
- The NEW FIRMWARE command, NEWFW, tells the instrument that will follow a series of
command with the new FW release. The structure is:
The NEW FRAME command, name NEWFRM, transmits to the instrument a part of the new FW
release (2048 bytes + 2 CRC bytes). To transmit the complete program, the PC must send 256
NEWFRM commands. The structure of the command is:
STX LLLL NEWFRM FFF; 2048 + 2 bytes; CRC ETX (FFF = frame number, from 0 to 255)
The CRC is computed as for any other normal instruction; the computing of the CRC is NOT made
on the binary section (2050 bytes) of the instruction.
Every time this command is sent, the instrument answers with an ACK. In case of NACK (or no an-
swer), the frame transmission is repeated 10 times, then the program restarts from the command
NEWFW.
The UPDATE FW command, name UPDFRM, commands the instrument to update the flash
EPROM that contains the program. The structure is:
A message sent in reply from the instrument to the PC is formatted differently according to whether
it is dealing with test results or with other types of response.
- CRC;
- ETX.
Referring once again to Figs. 3A and 3B, the response of the instrument in these two tests would be
as follows:
Fig. 3A:
STX LLLL; NUCI 04; CICO 01; IFR 04993; CO_THR 01;
CICO 02;
CICO 03; IFR 04673; CO_THR 01;
CICO 04; CRC ETX
Fig. 3B:
The comments are the same as the transmission of data. After the pauses nothing is transmitted un-
less the inputs have been modified.
For each test or cycle, the instrument transmits the results with a fixed structure, which envisages all
possible variables, and which also transmits spaces for all the irrelevant parameters.
The first message refers to the measurement of delay times. The message starts with the CICO code,
followed by the number of the cycle. The delay times of the various inputs now arrive in order, fol-
lowed by the time-out situations. In each message there is only one relevant datum. If an input has
gone into time-out there can be no delay time on that same input.
The second message refers to the threshold measurement. In this case also the structure is fixed and
the irrelevant data are blank. The structure envisages, in order:
- CICO code and cycle number;
- Switched contact;
- Voltage on the R, S and T phases;
- Voltage angles R-S and R-T;
- Frequency of voltage phase R;
- Currents on the R, S and T phases;
- Current angles R-S and R-T;
- UR-IR angles.
- Direct voltage.
The third message refers to any trips that may have occurred during the pause. The message always
begins with CICO and the cycle number, after which follow the switched contacts, if any.
or:
STX LLLL; PRCS; CRC ETX
- Other immediate commands (generate initial values; return to initial values; reset end of se-
quence; asynchronous reset; asynchronous stop; repeats):
ACK
Errors are given maximum priority, and are signalled before any test results, if any. Errors are
communicated one at a time. The PC must therefore continue to send ENQ, until such time as the
instrument replies ACK. In any case, after an error the PC will not proceed until it receives the
command REST.

1) With firmware revision 2.XX, on UTS, ART/3 and UTB the Pont on wave and Absolute angles
functions are missing. Besides, the FSIN parameter misses selections All voltages and All voltages
+ I1, and waveform are different.
2.4 Gradient of absolute angles for V1 and I1 GAUA and GAIA: other codes move all vectors (V1)
or all currents (I1).
