HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

A person's normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced. The electronic circuits of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd products are immune to the relevant levels of electrostatic discharge when housed in their cases. Do not expose them to the risk of damage by withdrawing modules unnecessarily. Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor devices. However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following precautions should be taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment has been designed and manufactured. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as the equipment by touching the case. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board. Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are both at the same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the same potential as yourself. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.

More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in BS5783 and IEC 60147-0F. If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an equipment in service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist strap. Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k 10M ohms. If a wrist strap is not available, you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent the build up of static. Instrumentation which may be used for making measurements should be earthed to the case whenever possible. ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd strongly recommends that detailed investigations on the electronic circuitry, or modification work, should be carried out in a Special Handling Area such as described in BS5783 or IEC 60147-0F.

SAFETY SECTION
ThisSafetySectionshouldbereadbeforecommencinganyworkontheequipment. Health and safety The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section. Explanation of symbols and labels The meaning of symbols and labels which may be used on the equipment or in the product documentation, is given below.

Caution: refer to product documentation

Caution: risk of electric shock

Protective/safety *earth terminal

Functional *earth terminal. Note: this symbol may also be used for a protective/ safety earth terminal if that terminal is part of a terminal block or sub-assembly eg. power supply. *Note: The term earth used throughout this manual is the direct equivalent of the North American term ground.

Installing, Commissioning and Servicing

Equipment connections Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on this equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. The product documentation should be consulted before installing, commissioning or servicing the equipment. Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated. If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards. Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. To ensure that wires are correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be used.
Page 8

Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth terminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment. Omitting or disconnecting the equipment earth may cause a safety hazard. The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5 mm2, unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the Service Manual. Before energising the equipment, the following should be checked: Voltage rating and polarity; CT circuit rating and integrity of connections; Protective fuse rating; Integrity of earth connection (where applicable) Equipment operating conditions The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits. Current transformer circuits Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. External resistors Where external resistors are fitted to relays, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns, if touched. Battery replacement Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommended type and be installed with the correct polarity, to avoid possible damage to the equipment. Insulation and dielectric strength testing Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected. Insertion of modules and pcb cards These must not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment whilst it is energised, since this may result in damage. Fibre optic communication Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.

Older products
Electrical adjustments Equipments which require direct physical adjustments to their operating mechanism to change current or voltage settings, should have the electrical power removed before making the change, to avoid any risk of electric shock. Mechanical adjustments The electrical power to the relay contacts should be removed before checking any mechanical settings, to avoid any risk of electric shock. Draw out case relays Removal of the cover on equipment incorporating electromechanical operating elements, may expose hazardous live parts such as relay contacts. Insertion and withdrawal of extender cards When using an extender card, this should not be inserted or withdrawn from the equipment whilst it is energised. This is to avoid possible shock or damage hazards. Hazardous live voltages may be accessible on the extender card. Insertion and withdrawal of heavy current test plugs When using a heavy current test plug, CT shorting links must be in place before insertion or removal, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.

Decommissioning and Disposal

Decommissioning: The auxiliary supply circuit in the relay may include capacitors across the supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after completely isolating the supplies to the relay (both poles of any DC supply), the capacitors should be safely discharged via the external terminals prior to decommissioning. Disposal: It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses is avoided. The product should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any products containing batteries should have them removed before disposal, taking precautions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations within the country of operation, may apply to the disposal of lithium batteries.

INTRODUCTION

This document details the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 KITZ protocol converter. It describes the operation and features of the unit in sufficient detail to allow users to interface the unit to other equipment. The VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 KITZ (KITZ 204) will provide an interface between devices supporting K-Bus Courier communications, and either a VDEW protocol or IEC 60870-5-103 protocol based master station. The KITZ 204 therefore allows integration of K-Bus communication devices (eg. spur of K and L Range relays which support K-Bus Courier Communications) into a system with an existing VDEW master station. The KITZ 204 also allows integration of K-Bus communication devices into a system with an IEC 60870-5-103 master station. A front RS232 port allows a Courier master station to gain local access to the connected K-Bus communication devices and to the KITZ 204 itself for configuration purposes. The unit performs conversion between the K-Bus Courier protocol and the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. The conversion performed by the unit is transparent to the equipment attached to the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master station port.

Section 2.

HANDLING AND INSTALLATION

The user should be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section before commencing with any work on this equipment. 2.1 Receipt of KITZ 204 units Although the KITZ 204 unit is of the standard MIDOS case type construction, it requires careful handling prior to use on site. Upon receipt, the unit should be examined immediately, to ensure that no damage has been sustained in transit. If damage has been sustained during transit, a claim should be made to the transport contractor and a representative of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control should be promptly notified. 2.2 Electrostatic discharge (ESD) The KITZ 204 unit uses components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. The electronic circuits are well protected by the metal case and the internal components should not be exposed by the removal of the assembled boards from within the outer casing. It should be noted that there are no user setting adjustments or measurements to be carried out within the unit. A persons normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices
Page 12

when handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage. Often, this is not immediately apparent, but the units reliability will have been reduced. When transporting the unit, care should be taken that the RS232 ports are not subjected to ESD. Touching the case will ensure that the user is at the same electrostatic potential as the unit. More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in BS 5783 and IEC 147-OF. It is strongly recommended that detailed investigations on electronic circuitry or any modification work should be carried out in a Special Handling Area such as described in the above-mentioned BS and IEC documents. 2.3 Unpacking Care should be taken when unpacking and installing the unit to prevent damage. 2.4 Storage If the KITZ 204 unit is not to be installed immediately upon receipt, it should be stored in an environment free from dust and moisture in the original carton. Where de-humidifier bags have been included in the packing, they should be retained. The action of the de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient conditions and may be restored by heating the bag gently for about half an hour, prior to replacing it in the carton. Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into the unit. In damp conditions, the carton and packing may become impregnated with moisture and the de-humidifier will lose its efficiency. Storage temperature: 25C to +70C. 2.5 Initial set-up - setting the communication address The communication address of the unit will be set to 255 when it leaves the factory. This is the global address of all K-Bus slave units on the network and requires changing to a unique address in order to function as a slave device to the Courier master. This is accomplished using the Courier Access Software Package or the Protection Access Software & Toolkit via the front port. For details of how to change the communication address of the unit, refer to the section Establishing Network Communication from either of the manuals for the abovementioned software. Note that it will be necessary to enter the serial number of the unit as part of the installation process.

The unit consists of four communications ports. Port 0 is an RS232 connection which is designed for temporary access and is located on the front of the unit. A switch is provided for crossing over the transmit and receive signals. Ports 1 and 2 are for the connection of a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 Master station. The connection between the unit and the master station can either be 850nm multimode optical fibre (Port 1) or isolated RS232 or RS485 (Port 2). Port 3 is for the connection of relays and is permanently configured for K-Bus. 4.1.1 K-Bus connection K-Bus requires a twisted pair screened cable with resistive termination on the extreme ends. 4.1.1.1 Connection method K-Bus is a multi-drop standard. This means that a K-Bus connection can be made point to point or can be daisy-chained together with a number of other products. A chain of connected units is known as a spur and no branches may be made from the spur. 4.1.1.2 Recommended cable Twisted pair with outer screen, to DEF STANDARD 61-12-5 16 strand, 0.2mm diameter, 40m per metre per core, 171pF per metre (core to core), 288pF per metre (core to screen).

Page 15

4.1.1.3

Cable termination Termination is via three terminals on a standard MIDOS terminal block. Two terminals are for the twisted pair communications wires and the third is for the screen. The screen connection is not internally connected to the unit in any way, since the screen should be earthed at one point of the cable only normally at the master end. The transmission wires should be terminated using a 150 resistor at both extreme ends of the cable. The MIDOS block terminal numbers, for connection of the three K-Bus ports, are given in Table 1: Port 3 23 25 27 Connection K-Bus 1 K-Bus 2 Screen (N.C.)

The screen of the RS485 cable should be earthed at one point of the cable only. When earthing at the KITZ 204, the screen should be connected to the D connector shell which forms the protective ground and is connected to 0V via the case. The data signal lines, TXRXA and TXRXB should be terminated at both extreme ends of the cable with resistors. The value of each resistor must be close to the characteristic impedance of the cable, which is typically 100 120. The signal ground of RS485 connection is not connected to the 0V of the unit. This ensures that no earth loop currents can flow between the KITZ 204 and other connected equipments. 4.1.3.4 Cable length The maximum cable length according to the RS485 specification is 1000m. 4.1.4 4.1.4.1 Rear optical fibre (VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103) connection Connection method The rear optical fibre port is suitable for direct point to point connection between the unit and a remote optical transmitter and receiver. The port consists of one Transmit fibre connection and one Receive fibre connection. 4.1.4.2 Recommended fibre The optical fibre used should be 850nm multimode glass fibre (50/125m and 62.5/125m are suitable). 4.1.4.3 Termination The BFOC/2.5 (also commonly known as ST) connector type is used, in accordance with the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 specifications. 4.1.4.4 Fibre length The transmitter and receiver capabilities allow a distance of 1 km of fibre between the KITZ 204 and the master connection.

Unit alarm LED The alarm indication will reflect the alarm status (SYS Alarms) of the unit. These are: Invalid settings. Default settings loaded on initialisation, ie. the unit has the default serial number. The alarm indication will also flash to indicate that a valid password has been entered via the System Data menu column.

5.4

Alarm records The alarm flags (in the SYS Alarms menu cell) indicate the set/reset state of the alarm. Flag 0 indicates that the settings are invalid. Flag 1 indicates that the default serial number is being used. An alarm condition will result in the Alarm indication being lit, the alarm bit will be set in the returned Courier status byte and the corresponding flag will be set in the SYS Alarms menu column.

Testing LED indication operation Options are provided in the Courier database to allow the indications to be illuminated on power-up or via setting a menu cell. The duration for which the indications remain illuminated is controlled by the IND Illum Time setting in the Courier database. See section 10.7 Courier database settings, the INDICATIONS menu column for setting information details.

5.6

Watchdog contact operation The watchdog relay contact (when open) indicates that the unit is healthy, as defined in section 5.2.

5.7

KITZ 204 events The KITZ 204 can generate the following time tagged events: Invalid Settings in the non volatile memory KITZ 204 password entered via Port 0 KITZ 204 setting changed via Port 0 A total of 20 Courier events can be stored in the KITZ 204 internal buffers. If the event buffer becomes full, the oldest event record will be overwritten by the next event. The events are time tagged using the real time clock and will have the form: Year (2 digit), Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second, Millisecond.

OPERATION

Introduction VDEW is a communications interface recommendation of representatives of German utilities,which provides the ability to read the status, specific measurement values, specific event messages and disturbance records of protective relays. IEC 60870-5-103 is an international standard based on the VDEW specification. Any product developed to the IEC 60870-5-103 standard is compatible with the VDEW standard, whilst providing additional benefits. The KITZ 204 provides the interface between Courier devices and either existing VDEW substation control systems or IEC 60870-5-103 substation control systems. The KITZ 204 will allow simultaneous communications to be performed both between the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master and the connected K-Bus communication devices and between the local Courier master and the connected K-Bus communication devices.

6.2

Application notes The following figure illustrates the application of the KITZ 204 to integrate K and L Range protection devices into a system with an existing VDEW master station.

Here up to eight K or L Range relays can be interconnected on K-Bus, which terminates at port 3 of the KITZ 204. The KITZ 204 unit is then connected to the existing VDEW master station via either the optical fibre, the RS232 or the RS485 master port. The VDEW master station communicates with other VDEW and IEC 60870-5103 protocol-compatible devices at the same time as with the K and L Range relays. Other VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 protocol-compatible devices may include disturbance recorders and relays already existing in the substation. 6.3 6.3.1 Courier addressing Downstream unit courier addressing The unit can communicate with up to 8 consecutive Courier addresses starting at a user specified Courier base address. The base address is specified by the setting AR Base Address and is used to define the lowest Courier address that will be accepted as valid. Communication with addresses 0 and the global address (255) are allowed at all times. Master request messages with addresses that are not in the specified range will be ignored by the KITZ 204 and will not be sent to the connected downstream units via Port 3. The maximum number of consecutive Courier addresses (starting at the Base Address) with which the KITZ 204 can communicate is specified by the setting AR No. of Units. This setting can be used as a filter to improve efficiency if only a limited number of units with sequential addresses are required. Under normal circumstances, the connected master should not request information from non existent addresses via the KITZ 204, but will send Reset Remote Link to each configured address each cycle. The addresses of all the attached downstream units must not be altered once communications are established. If a downstream unit is removed at any time, check that its status (in the AR Devx Status menu cell) changes to Logged off
Page 22

before adding a new relay (of any type) with the same address. The time taken to become logged off depends on the number of retries set for Port 3 (section 6.6.4). The KITZ 204 address operates independently of these settings. 6.3.2 KITZ 204 Courier addressing The KITZ 204 unit address is set to 255 (the global address) as a default condition. In order to allow initial entry to the unit settings, the Courier command CHANGE DEVICE ADDRESS should be used to give the unit an initial address (section 2.5). It can be set to any address (0 to 254). If the address byte of the message received from the Courier master via Port 0 matches the KITZ 204 address (in the SYS Unit Address menu cell), the entire message is assumed to be for the KITZ 204. If the address does not match and is within the valid address range, the message is passed on to the connected downstream units. The KITZ 204 unit address should be different to any connected downstream units, otherwise the downstream unit with the same address as the KITZ 204 will not be accessible by the Courier master. Global messages received by the KITZ unit will be passed on to the downstream units, and will also be processed by the KITZ itself. 6.4 6.4.1 VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 addressing Downstream unit VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 addressing There are two modes by which the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 addresses for the downstream units can be allocated. The mode is set to either Direct or Indirect in the KITZ 204 in the AR Addr Mapping menu cell. If Direct mode is selected, then the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 address of each downstream unit is set the same as its Courier address. If Indirect mode is selected, then the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 address for each downstream unit is set individually. When Indirect mode is selected, a menu cell (AR Devx VDEW Addr) for each of the 8 downstream units becomes visible, in which to allocate its VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 address. The VDEW/IEC 608705-103 addresses do not have to be consecutive, and the VDEW address for each of the downstream units is settable in the range 0 to 254. 6.4.2 KITZ 204 VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 Addressing The KITZ 204 unit is transparent to the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master. It is not a slave device to the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master station, and so it does not have a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 address. 6.5 VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 mode There are four modes of operation for the KITZ 204 unit. These are as follows: VDEW mode. The unit conforms to the VDEW specification. IEC1 mode. As for VDEW mode but with the additional generic command support.
Page 23

 IEC2 mode. As for IEC1 mode but with additional event record support. Every Courier event will be converted to an IEC format generic event message. Where fixed messages are produced, the generic event will be produced in addition to the fixed information. This will result in duplication of some data. IEC3 mode. No VDEW event messages will be produced. Only generic event messages will be transmitted. The mode is selected in the UNS IEC mode menu cell. The generic commands of IEC 60870-5-103 can be used in any of the IEC modes. Event message handling is explained further in section 6.9.3. 6.6 Communication port priority The priority of the ports is fixed. Port 3 (K-Bus) having the highest priority and Port 0 (front port) the lowest. The VDEW ports will have equal priority as only one will be active at any time. To change the active VDEW port the settings will have to be changed. Settings for an inactive port will be hidden from the user. Under normal operating conditions the unit is continuously polling any attached downstream units for events and automatically extracting events and storing them internally for extraction by the VDEW master. Normally the operation as a Courier master and VDEW slave are independent. In certain circumstances a VDEW request will generate a direct Courier request and under these conditions the request is slotted into the polling cycle. The VDEW direct requests have a higher priority than the Courier direct requests. Therefore, all VDEW direct requests will be completed before the local request is processed. Direct slave messages received on port 1/2 will be processed in chronological order, followed by the port 0 messages (in chronological order) etc. If a message is received on port 1/2 while a port 0 message is being processed, the current message processing will be completed and the port 1/2 message awaiting processing will then be processed. It should be noted that the above situation only arises when both masters are requesting data direct from the relay. Under normal conditions VDEW responses can be provided direct from the KITZ memory. Port 0 messages will only normally be used to commission a relay and as such the incidence of simultaneous Port 0 and Port 1/2 messages is low. KITZ alarms and events (detailed in sections 5.4 and 5.7) will be extracted via Port 0 as they cannot be extracted by a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master. 6.7 6.7.1 Communication between KITZ 204 and downstream units (Port 3) Initialisation On initialisation, the KITZ 204 will send a Reset Remote Link command to each Courier address in the range AR Base Address to AR Base Address+AR No. of Units1. The downstream unit will either respond with a valid acknowledge or not respond at all. If the addressed downstream unit responds with a valid acknowledge, the address will be added to the KITZ 204 (internal) poll list, thus
Page 24

enabling data extraction. If the addressed downstream unit does not respond, Reset Remote Link will be sent to that address every poll cycle until that downstream unit does respond. After the first valid reply (busy or non-busy) to a downstream unit request is received by the KITZ 204, the unit address is added to the internal poll list within the KITZ 204, which then requests the SYS Model Number menu cell from that address. From the returned model number reference, the KITZ 204 determines which type of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd relay is at that address. This is then referenced in the KITZ 204 Courier database in the appropriate AR Devx Status menu cell, where n has values 1 to 8, corresponding to the consequetive Courier addresses of the downstream units, ie. AR Base Address to AR Base Address+AR No. of Units1 respectively. The following relay models are recognised by the KITZ 204: KCGG 110, 120, 130, 140, 210, 230, 240 KCGU 110, 140, 240 KCEG 110, 130, 140, 150, 160, 210, 230, 240, 250 KCEU 110, 140, 150, 160, 240, 250 KCGG 122, 142 KCEG 112, 142, 152, 242 KMPC KVTR KAVR KAVS LGPG LFZP (via KITZ 103) LFZR KBCH Any Courier-compatible device which cannot be identified as one of the above models will be designated as UNKNOWN by the KITZ 204 and will only support the generic services of IEC 60870-5-103. 6.7.2 Normal polling Downstream unit addresses are polled cyclically, from the lowest address to the highest. When request messages are not being received on master port 0 or 1/2, the KITZ 204 will poll all downstream unit addresses in the poll list with a message containing the Poll Status command. The current status of each downstream unit address (in the poll list) is buffered and can be extracted by a Port 0 or 1/2 master. If the event flag is set in the status byte of a downstream unit, the KITZ 204 will automatically extract all event messages. How they are handled then depends on
Page 25

the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 mode selected. This then determines what is available for extraction by a Port 1/2 master. If the disturbance record flag is set in the status byte of a downstream unit, the KITZ 204 will automatically extract only enough header information from the disturbance record to determine its timestamp and what channels are available. This header information is then used by the KITZ 204 to create a VDEW fixed message which is stored in internal memory. If more than one disturbance record exists at a downstream unit, only the first is accessed by the KITZ 204, and so an event message relating to the first disturbance record only is created. If the Alarm bit of the Courier status byte is set, a VDEW Group Alarm fixed message is created for that relay. The KITZ 204 periodically polls specific measurement data from the downstream units and stores this in its internal memory, ready for extraction by a Port 1/2 master which is polling for VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 Class 2 data. The interval at which the KITZ 204 polls the measurement data is set on a per relay basis. These intervals are set in the range 0 to 15 minutes in the KITZ 204 Devx Timer menu cells. The interval is set to 0 minutes to disable polling of data. The data extracted from the relay is that required to provide as many measurements in the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 measurands messages as possible for that relay type. The measurands available for each relay type are indicated in the VDEW Message Implementation Tables documentation. For compatability with VDEW, the measurands are referenced to a rated value of voltage, current, power, VAr and frequency. These rated values must be entered into the KITZ 204 Courier database on a per relay basis, in the MEASUREMENTS column of the Courier database. The maximum value of each of the above measurements can be selected to be either 1.2 x Rated Value or 2.4 x Rated Value on a per relay basis, in the Devx Value menu cell. This conforms to the VDEW specification for protective devices. 6.7.3 Busy replies from downstream units If the reply from the downstream unit is busy, polling moves to the next address in the poll list, to which Poll Status will be issued. The Poll Status request for the pending downstream unit address is replaced by a Poll Buffer request in the next poll cycle. Poll Buffer is used to determine if the KITZ 204 has obtained the requested data from the addressed downstream unit. All non busy message replies to master requests will contain the latest Courier status byte information (this information is extracted automatically via the KITZ 204 internal polling). If a downstream unit sends more than a user specified number of busy replies (P3 Busies) to the KITZ 204, the KITZ will assume communication with the downstream unit has failed and send Reset Remote Link to that address every poll cycle until that downstream unit does respond.
Page 26

When the downstrean unit does respond to a Reset Remote Link from the KITZ 204, normal polling is resumed. No data will be transmitted to the Courier master port however until the KITZ 204 receives a Reset Remote Link via Port 0, and no data will be transmitted to the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master port until the KITZ 204 receives a Reset CU or Reset FCB on Port 1/2. The polling of downstream unit addresses via the internal poll list allows Poll Buffer/Poll Status requests to be interleaved to all allowable addresses. This ensures that the average time for a non busy reply for all addresses is minimal and that the status for all addresses is updated as quickly as possible. 6.7.4 Retries to downstream units After a request message has been transmitted to a downstream unit address, the KITZ 204 will then wait for a response. If no response is received within a user specified time-out period (P3 Reply Timer), a user specified number of retries (P3 Retries) will be performed. If this fails to generate a response, the downstream unit status (in the AR Devx Status menu cell) will be shown as Logged off and the KITZ 204 will send Reset Remote Link to that address every poll cycle until that downstream unit does respond. When the downstrean unit does respond to a Reset Remote Link from the KITZ 204, normal polling is resumed. No data will be transmitted to the Courier master port however until the KITZ 204 receives a Reset Remote Link via Port 0, and no data will be transmitted to the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master port until the KITZ 204 receives a Reset CU or Reset FCB on Port 1/2. 6.7.5 Global requests Global requests consist of two consecutive identical messages from a Courier master, or one message from a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master. No reply messages are generated in response to global requests. Once a valid global message (pair) has been received, these will be sent to the downstream units and KITZ 204 menu when all other pending requests have been completed. The KITZ 204 will respond with a busy reply to any other master non global requests (except the Reset Remote Link command) while a global message is being processed. Reset Remote Link commands received while a global message is being processed will return a valid response if the request address was present before the global command was received (ie. the downstream unit address was contained in the KITZ 204 poll list), if not, a response will not be returned. Global requests received at the KITZ 204 while any relay is busy will be sent on to the relays as soon as all relays are non-busy. In order to improve communications reliability and security, the KITZ 204 will transmit two global messages to the downstream units if the message is a Set Real Time command request, otherwise, three global messages will be transmitted. The time delay period between the consecutive global transmissions on Port 3 is specified by the setting P3 Gtrans Timer menu cell.

Page 27

Valid global request messages received by the KITZ 204 will be re-transmitted on Port 3 even if no downstream units are connected to Port 3. 6.8 6.8.1 Courier master communications (Port 0) Request message processing If no messages are being processed by the KITZ 204 (no buffered master requests or pending downstream unit replies), the first complete error free message received on Port 0 will either be processed by the KITZ 204 or passed directly to a downstream unit depending on its address. 6.8.2 Poll status and poll buffer Master requests containing Poll Status or Poll Buffer are not passed through the KITZ 204 to the downstream units. The reply is generated by the KITZ 204 from its internal memory. No reply will be returned to a message containing Poll Status or Poll Buffer command which is sent to an address that is not present within the KITZ 204 poll list. 6.8.3 Block transfer from a Courier address The KITZ 204 will only know of the existence of a Courier Blocked reply message when the downstream unit returns the block header. Once a block transfer has been initiated between the Courier master and one downstream unit, no further requests will be sent to the same downstream unit (a busy reply will be returned) until the block transfer is completed or terminated. The block message transfer procedure will be terminated when the corresponding block footer is received from the downstream unit (or a comms failure occurs). In order to prevent one master station locking out access to a relay address from the other master station for excessive periods, a user specified block message time-out (P0 Block Timer, P1 Block Timer or P2 Block Timer) is used to terminate the block transfer procedure for the appropriate address. 6.8.4 KITZ 204 setting changes The settings of the KITZ 204 unit can only be changed from a Courier master. When the system password of a connected downstream address is correctly entered, the password timer UNS Passwd Timer is enabled. If a setting change is in progress and the password timer expires before the associated setting timer (P0 Set Timer, P1 Set Timer or P2 Set Timer) expires, the setting will be aborted. This can be prevented by setting the password timer to a value greater than or equal to the highest setting timer value. 6.9 6.9.1 VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master communications (Port 1 or 2) Principle of protocol conversion The mapping of data from the relay Courier database to the data available via VDEW depends on the relay type. VDEW defines differing data, which would normally be held in a relay itself, from that used in ALSTOM T&D Protection &
Page 28

Control Ltd K and L Range relays. Hence some data held by the different types of K and L Range relays cannot be accessed by a VDEW master, and similarly some data defined in VDEW cannot be mapped to anything in the relay Courier database. The ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd relay types recognised by the KITZ 204 are detailed in section 6.7.1. The exact mapping of data between the relay Courier database and VDEW messages is detailed for the different relay types in the VDEW Message Implementation Tables documentation. The generic message functions of IEC 60870-5-103 allow full access to database locations of the relays as defined by the IEC 60870-5-103 specification. The Generic Commands from the IEC 60870-5-103 master which the KITZ 204 recognises are numbers 240, 241, 243, 244, 248, 249, 250, 251 (refer to Reference 3). 6.9.2 Request message processing If no messages are being processed by the KITZ 204 (no buffered master requests or pending downstream unit replies), the first complete error free message received on Port 1/2 will be processed by the KITZ 204. The KITZ 204 will normally respond with the data from internal memory. Direct master to downstream unit commands comprise General Commands as listed in the VDEW Message Implementation Tables documentation and all IEC 60870-5-103 Generic Commands. These will interrupt normal polling. 6.9.3 VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 events Events available for extraction by a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 (Port 1/2) master, using Class 1 event retrieval, depend on the KITZ 204 VDEW/IEC 60870-5103 Mode setting, detailed in section 6.5. The KITZ 204 automatically extracts Courier event messages from downstream units. The event message is then processed by the KITZ 204 which creates VDEW and/or IEC 60870-5-103 generic messages according to its Mode setting. In VDEW mode, only VDEW fixed messages will be created by the KITZ 204. A Courier event message from the relay is converted to the corresponding VDEW fixed message, where such a fixed message exists. In IEC1 mode, only VDEW fixed messages will be created by the KITZ 204, as for VDEW mode. In IEC2 mode, VDEW fixed messages will be created. Also, every Courier event will be converted to an IEC 60870-5-103 generic event message. This results in two different event messages, but providing the same information, being created wherever the Courier event causes a VDEW fixed message. In IEC3 mode, no VDEW fixed messages will be created. A generic event message only will be created for each Courier event.

Page 29

6.9.4

VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 disturbance records If the disturbance record flag is set in the status byte of a downstream unit, the KITZ 204 will automatically extract some header information from the disturbance record, which is then used to create a VDEW fixed event message. If more than one disturbance record exists at a downstream unit, only the first is accessed by the KITZ 204, and so an event message relating to the first disturbance record only is created. When a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 (Port 1/2) master extracts the fixed message relating to a disturbance record, it may then extract the disturbance record itself from the downstream unit. The KITZ 204 will perform the block message transfer of disturbance record data from the downstream unit and convert this to VDEW/ IEC 60870-5-103 format. If a disturbance record has not yet been extracted, the disturbance record flag is set in the status byte returned to any Courier (Port 0) master. If a disturbance record is required to be extracted by the Courier master, this is performed in the usual manner by accessing the downstream unit directly. When the disturbance record has been fully extracted it is deleted from the relay. The KITZ 204 will then extract the header information for the next disturbance record available at that address and create a new fixed message, if the disturbance record flag is still set in the status byte.

6.10 6.10.1

Real time clock (RTC) time and date Real time clock setting The current RTC time and date can be set from either the Courier or VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master communication port (Port 0 or Port 1/2 respectively). In accordance with the VDEW standard, there is no external time synchronisation (eg. IRIG-B) input. On receipt of a time synchronisation command from a master port, the KITZ 204 reacts as follows. If the time synchronisation command is a global command, the KITZ 204 internal RTC is updated, and the Courier Set Real Time command is transmitted twice on Port 3 to the global address. Any downstream units with a RTC have their RTC updated. An VDEW fixed message is created for every relay currently in communication to record the time synchronisation. If the time synchronisation command is sent to a specific address, and that address is a downstream unit with a RTC, the Courier Set Real Time command is transmitted on Port 3. The downstream unit with a RTC has its RTC updated. An VDEW fixed message is created for that relay to record the time synchronisation. If the time synchronisation command is sent to a specific address, and that address is a downstream unit without a RTC, the KITZ 204 internal RTC is updated. An VDEW fixed message is created for each relay currently in communication and not having a RTC, to record the time synchronisation.
Page 30

All time-tagging of messages by the KITZ 204 uses the IEC Format. The IEC format does not contain the current hundreds of years setting. 6.10.2 Time tagging of master reply messages The KITZ Unit will insert an IEC 60870 time tag into a VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 fixed message.

7.1

USER INTERFACE (TO COURIER MASTER)

Introduction The KITZ 204 Courier interface is accessed via Port 0 by a PC installed with Courier based access software. This software polls all addresses connected to its system and allows the user to retrieve information from each address by extracting the contents of its database. It also allows authorised users to make setting changes to the relay. ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd can supply Courier access software for use on a standard IBM compatible PC. This section of the manual describes the use of the KITZ 204 menu to setup the relay. It does not describe the Courier commands that are used to implement this, for more information on the Courier language the Courier User Guide, document R6512 should be referred to.

7.2

KITZ 204 Courier database A reference to the structure of the Courier Database is given in section 10.10. The System Data column of the database is standard to all Courier devices and contains important information that is used to identify the unit to the access software. The remainder of the data base contains settings and data and can be browsed and modified by the user.

7.3

Courier passwords The Courier interface utilises the password to prevent unauthorised access to some KITZ 204 settings. To be able to modify the KITZ 204 settings the user must correctly enter a four character Courier password. The KITZ 204 settings are visible but not settable if the password has not been set. To set the password first select the SYSTEM DATA column using the Access Software, the second item within the column is the KITZ 204 password. The correct value of this cell is not visible and is instead represented as ****. The password protection is unlocked by setting this cell to the correct value using the access software. To change the password using the remote software the password unlock must first be removed using the method described above. Changing the setting of the password cell again allows a new password to be set. The password unlock can be removed by resetting the password cell. If no setting changes are made to the database for a set period of time the password unlock will self reset. This time
Page 31

period is specified by the UNS Passwd Timer setting (in the UNIT SETTINGS menu column).

If this password is lost and access is required please contact your local ALSTOM representative.
7.4 Extended password protection The Extended PWP setting in the UNIT SETTINGS menu column is used to apply password protection to all communication settings within the unit. This can be used in conjunction with the remote access password protection to prevent the KITZ Unit and downstream unit(s) settings from being changed remotely by unauthorised users. 7.5 Data cells There are cells within the database which cannot be set, these contain the unit hardware and software configuration and stored information to be viewed. Some of these cells, such as those that relate to the unit configuration, will always contain the same data. Others, such as those used for accessing stored records, can be controlled using a settable cell to index the record being examined. There are other cells containing the current date and time and measurement values that are continually updated by the relay. 7.6 Event extraction The KITZ 204 supports the standard mechanism for event extraction. KITZ 204 events can only be extracted by a Courier master via Port 0. The events may be displayed on the PC and stored to a file. 7.7 Invalid settings The invalid settings alarm (SYS Alarms - Flag 0) indicates that the settings for the KITZ 204 are invalid. This alarm will be raised when the unit detects that the current settings contained in the units memory are invalid. Clearing the alarm will not copy the default settings to the non-volatile area. The default settings will only be loaded if the non-volatile settings are corrupted and the unit is re-energised. After the default settings have been loaded, SYS Alarms - Flag 1 will be set to indicate that the default serial number is being used. The default serial number cannot be changed by the user and a representative of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd should be contacted. The unit will still be operational. If new user settings have been entered to the unit, these will be stored within nonvolatile memory and used by the KITZ 204 unit. When the unit is powered-up with valid non-volatile settings, the invalid settings alarm will not be issued.

9.2.1.4.1 The KITZ 204 unit must be earthed. If the mains supply is not earthed, the KITZ 204 unit earthing connection on the rear of the case must be used to connect the unit to a local (mains) earth. 9.2.1.4.2 K-Bus earthing The K-Bus cable screen should only be connected to earth at one point in the communication system. This will normally involve connecting the cable at the Master end (ie. at the KITZ 204) and not at any other point.

Page 39

9.2.1.5

Insulation Insulation tests only need to be done when required. Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the insulation with an electronic or brushless insulation tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 1000V. Terminals of the same circuit should be temporarily strapped together. The main groups on the unit are given below: Auxilary supply voltage K-Bus Port 3 Watchdog relay contacts Case earth This test should not be performed on the RS232 port at the front of the unit as this is not isolated.

9.2.1.6

Equipment required The KITZ 204 unit requires the following: AC/DC voltmeter 0 300V A Portable PC running PAS&T Any supported Courier-compatible (K-Bus) device.

9.2.2

Auxiliary supply tests The unit will operate from either a 110V or 110/230V AC supply or a 24/125V DC or 48/250V DC battery supply, depending on the KITZ 204 version. The incoming voltage must be within the operating range specified in the table below: Range Low voltage (LV) High voltage (HV) Nominal (V) 24/125V DC 110V AC 50/60Hz 48/250V DC 110/230V AC 50/60Hz Operative range (V) 19 150V DC 50 133V AC 33 300V DC 87 265V AC

9.2.3

Configuration The KITZ 204 does not have any external switches for setting its parameters (other than the Port 0 DTE/DCE switch). The unit can only be configured by running the Courier Access Software (CAS) or Protection Access Software & Toolkit (PAS&T) on a PC connected to the RS232 front port (Port 0) of the KITZ 204. The very first time the unit is powered up, a PC running PAS&T or CAS must be connected to the front port to configure the settings. After initial configuration, the new settings will be held in the units non volatile memory.

Page 40

The communication characteristics of the front port are fixed (IEC 60870 FT1.2 (11 bit) frame format - 1 Start bit, 8 Data bits, 1 Even parity bit, 1 stop bit and a data rate of 19200 bits per second). The pin out of the front port on the unit can be configured either as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or a Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE), using a crossover switch (SW1) on the front panel. Setup the KITZ 204 Unit address as detailed in section 2.5. Once communication is established with the KITZ 204 via the PAS&T software, the KITZ 204s own database can be uploaded for viewing its default parameters. The settings for the rear communication ports can be now be modified. The full database is presented in Section 10. 9.2.4 Testing communication port operation After the KITZ 204 settings have been configured as required, connect the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master to Port 1/2 (use the appropriate RS232 or RS485 or Optical Fibre connections). Request measurands data for the attached downstream unit from the VDEW/IEC 60870-5-103 master and confirm that the requested data are returned. 9.3 Problem solving guide Common operational faults are listed in this section. The solutions offered are for guidance only. 9.3.1 All indications are off Check correct auxiliary supply is present. Check external fuse (if present). 9.3.2 Green supply indication is off and alarm indication is on An error in the setting data has been detected. Default serial number has been loaded. If the unit is de-energised then re-energised after a non-recoverable setting error has occurred, the default settings will be loaded (These are listed in Section 10). If this occurs, the unit will have the default serial number 000000O and a Unit Address of 255 (global), the address will have to be changed to a unique address (see section 2.5). After the address has been changed, the password protected settings can be accessed by using the default password AAAA (this can also be changed if required). 9.3.3 No communications Indication status: Port 0 or 1/2 receive indication is Off when communicating with a master station

10.6.3

Port 3 busy replies This setting is the maximum number of busy reply responses from a downstream unit (to a request for data) that will be accepted by the KITZ 204. If the maximum number of busy responses has been exceeded, the KITZ 204 issues a Reset Remote Link request to that address.

10.6.4

Port 3 global message transmission timer This is the time delay period for transmission of globally addressed (address 255) Courier request messages. A valid global message consists of two or three identical messages sent sequentially with this time delay between the individual messages.

10.6.5

Port 3 message transmission delay timer This is the time delay period between transmission of successive messages on Port 3. This can be used to decrease the number of messages sent to a downstream unit over a given time period and will reduce the number of busy replies received when a low number of downstream units are connected to port 3. This setting can also be used to reduce the downstream transmission bandwidth to simplify downstream message interrogation.

10.10.1

Base address This is the base reference Courier address and is used to define the lowest Courier address that will be accepted as valid. The unit can communicate with up to 8 consecutive Courier addresses starting at the Base Address. Communication with addresses 0 and the global address (255) are allowed at all times. The KITZ 204 Courier address (in the System Data menu column) operates independently of this setting and can be set to any address (0 to 255).

Page 55

10.10.2

Number of downstream units This is the number of consecutive Courier addresses (starting at the Base Address) with which the KITZ 204 is required to communicate, the maximum being 8. This setting can be used as a filter to improve efficiency if only a limited number of units are required.

10.10.3

Address mapping This setting allows the method of mapping VDEW addresses to Courier addresses to be selected. If set to Direct, then the VDEW address of each relay is automatically set the same as the Courier address. If set to Indirect, then the VDEW address is allocated individually for each relay in the appropriate Devx VDEW Addr menu cells.

10.10.4

Devx VDEW address This setting defines the individual VDEW address of each relay (up to the maximum of 8). The VDEW address can therefore be set different to the Courier address for any of the relays. The range of VDEW addresses is 0 to 254. Menu cell is visible if cell 280C = Indirect.

10.10.5

Devx status This cell displays the type of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd relay which the KITZ 204 has detected at each of the consequtive Courier addresses. As future relay types are produced, there will not be a reference for them in this cell in existing KITZ 204 units. These KITZ 204s will display UNKNOWN for any such device.
