1 Safety regulations
1.1 Use of the control panel
The control panel is a very versatile device which, in addition to featuring simple functions
for local operation, also provides all the means of intervening the excitation system which
are required in order to carry out complete commissioning. Serious intervening of the
operating behaviour of voltage regulators, limits, protection and control is possible.
All modifications to the system are carried out by means of so-called parameter settings
and are described in section 3.3.1 (p. 18). This work may only be carried out by
trained commissioning and service personnel. This does not apply to the alteration of
reference values in local operation (see section 3.2.3, p. 17). If the operating mode "Pa-
rameter-setting" is unintentionally activated through operating error, the following instruc-
tions are to be followed:
[. . . .]
As soon as a value in square brackets appears, the "Parame-
ter" mode is activated and the parameter value will be changed
each time the arrow keys are pressed.
Do not press the ENTER key after an operating error. This
saves any changes.
In order to cancel a change and quit the "Parameter" mode,
press the ACT key.
1.2 Personnel categories
This document explains the use of the control panel in connection with local control of the
excitation system, as well as servicing and commissioning. It is not an operating manual
for the excitation system, nor is it an instruction manual for servicing and commissioning.
Before carrying out any work on the excitation system, the corresponding manuals are to
be consulted; in particular, it is essential that the safety regulations in the operating man-
ual (for the excitation system) and in the instructions on servicing and fault-location are
complied with.
Operating personnel
The operating manual (section 3) is divided into two parts, a general section for the oper-
ating personnel and a special section for the service and commissioning personnel. The
first section contains all the functions required for local control of the excitation system
such as display of actual values, display of faults and fault resetting. It is essential that
the operating personnel familiarise themselves with the contents of this section.
Commissioning and service personnel
The second part of the operating manual is intended as a reference work for this group of
persons. Individual settings can be carried out with reference to this manual. For more
complex work, including the commissioning of a system, we urgently recommend partici-
pation in a training course at our company or an intensive introduction by our commis-
sioning personnel when the system is commissioned for the first time.

2 Device description
2.1 Introduction
This document describes the handling of the Control Panel UNS 0874 and its use in con-
nection with UNITROL

F devices for the local control of the excitation system and for
setting parameter values.
The panel has 16 membrane keys and an LCD display with 4 lines of 20 characters and
is approximately the size of a pocket calculator.

The control panel is linked with the UNITROL

F devices via a serial interface

(RS 485). The communication speed is 9600 bits/s. The power supply to the panel is also
provided via the serial connection cable, the device itself does not contain any batteries.

Functional Description Control Panel UNS 0874
3BHS102402 E82
In the case of double channel systems
(designation AFT), the device communicates
with both channels via a common interface. The
channels are distinguished by means of an ID
number and the panel can communicate
selectively with both devices without unplugging
the cable.

2.2 Display formats
Depending on the operating mode in which it is being used, the LCD display of the con-
trol panel shows the operating status of the excitation, fault messages, parameter values
and other information on the excitation system. All information, parameters and fault
messages are displayed in English. The meaning of the individual fields can be seen
from the following examples:

2.4 Operating modes
The Control Panel UNS 0874 has five different operating modes: Actual Signal Display
Mode, Parameter Mode, Function Mode, Device Selection Mode and Start Mode. In most
modes, local control of the excitation is also possible at the same time. Each mode is de-
scribed briefly in the following.
2.4.1 Actual Signal Display Mode
In Actual Signal Display Mode, three actual values can be shown
on the display simultaneously, e.g. machine voltage, reactive
power and excitation current.
Each signal is identified by a signal group and signal number, e.g.
"10101 U MACH RELATIVE" (machine voltage in %), with the signal group 101 and sig-
nal number 01. The operating mode, which normally appears in the second line, is also a
signal ("10301 MODE INDICATION").
This mode also includes the fault display and display of the fault logger. The double ar-
row keys are used to switch between actual signal display and display of the fault logger.
The actual signal display is the normal operating mode of the control panel. As long as no
faults are effective, the display switches back to the actual signal display from any other
mode after 1 minute.
The operation of the actual signal display is described in section 3.1.1 (p. 11). The signal-
and signal group numbers can be found in the "Parameter and Signal List Version
41.22x" for the current software version (for Release 41.22x: 3BHS10402 E88)
2.4.2 Parameter Mode
In Parameter Mode, most of the setting values of the excitation
system can be changed, e.g. reference value limits of the voltage
regulator, limiter settings etc.
These settings may only be carried out by the commissioning and service person-
nel. Parameter setting is described in section 3.3.1 (p. 18), the parameter numbers can
also be found in the "Parameter and Signal List Version 41.22x".

Functional Description Control Panel UNS 0874
3BHS102402 E82
2.4.3 Function Mode
In this mode, complete parameter sets can be exchanged
between the control panel and the selected UNITROL

F device.
These functions are called "upload" and "download".
Upload and download are used to copy a complete parameter set from one channel into
the second channel or into the UNITROL

F device of another machine (with the same

settings). In addition, the contrast of the LCD display can be adjusted in Function mode.
The control of these functions is described in 3.1.5 Adjusting the display contrast.
In addition: Function mode offers the system engineer the possibility of intervening the
plant control system and introducing new function blocks. The description of these func-
tions goes beyond the scope of this manual and is described in the document "Program-
ming Manual", which we can supply on request.
2.4.4 Device Selection Mode
COM
SEL
The Device Selection mode is used to select the device with
which the control panel is to communicate. This function is only
relevant in double channel systems.
After the COM SEL key is pressed, the ID number of the
channel with which the panel link is currently established
appears on the display. The ID number can be changed
and communication established with the other channel
using the arrow keys.
In other display modes, this information is repeated in the
first line (status line), e.g. in ACT mode:
This setting should not be confused with the selection of the regulator channel. The num-
ber of the active regulator channel, i.e. the channel on which the firing pulses are re-
leased and which supplies the field current, is shown on the second line in the actual sig-
nals display.
The ID numbers are defined as follows:
0 control panel
1 channel 1
2 channel 2 (if present)
A special status display appears after the last
UNITROL

F device on the serial communication has been

displayed. The status display shows the operating status of all
connected devices in abbreviated form:

2.4.5 Start Mode
When the panel is first connected or power is applied to
the system, an identification screen
appears showing the software version. At the
same time, the parameters are downloaded from the ex-
citation system into the control panel. When the panel is first connected, this operation
can take up to one minute. The panel then switches to Actual Signal Display mode.
The serial connection cable to the control panel can be plugged in or unplugged at any
time without the supply voltage of the UNITROL

F device needing to be interrupted.

Following an interruption in communication, the panel re-establishes communication with
the same channel which was selected before the interruption.
If the channel with which the panel is currently communicating fails, a connection with the
other channel is automatically established. A display similar to the special status display
described above appears, which it is possible to quit by pressing the ACT key.

3.1.2 To display the fault logger
In the fault logger, the UNITROL

F devices possess a very convenient aid to fault loca-

tion. However, this requires that the operating personnel check the fault logger each time
before a fault is acknowledged and pass on the information to the service personnel.
In double channel systems, the fault message can also originate from the channel with
which the panel is not currently communicating. In this case, the connection with the other
channel must first be established using the function "Device Selection " (see section 3.1.4
p.14) before the fault logger is read.

3.2 Local control of the excitation system
In local operation, the excitation can be controlled locally, i.e. at the excitation cabinet,
with the aid of the control panel. As a rule, the same functions are available as in the
control room.
In the following, only the control procedures using the control panel are described.
The necessary safety precautions which are to be taken with local operation are d e-
scribed in the operating manual for the excitation system.
3.2.1 Field breaker- and excitation control
The four commands EXCITATION ON / OFF and FIELD BREAKER ON / OFF are directly
assigned to four keys. After switching over to local operation, these commands are en-
abled in all operating modes of the control panel and are executed immediately when the
key is pressed. Exceptions are locking functions in the control system which, for example,
prevent excitation being switched off when the machine is connected to the network.

It is essential to consult the Parameter and Signal List for the relevant software version in
order to determine the significance and consequences of parameter modifications. Per-
manent modifications are to be stored using the "Backstore mode" (see section 3.3.2, p.
21).
Some parameters are write-protected. If one attempts to al-
ter one of these values, this message appears on the dis-
play:
3.3.1.1 Altering language of the control panel
The language of the control panel can be alter with the parameter LANGUAGE (1215) in
the group MAINTENANCE. To alter parameter see the instruction before.

Upload: All the parameters of the currently se-
lected device are copied into the control panel.
Uploading can be carried out while the machine is
running.

Download: Copies a complete parameter set
from the control panel into the currently selected
UNITROL

F device. Downloading is only pos-

sible when the excitation and field breaker in
the destination system are switched off.
Between uploading and downloading, the control panel can be unplugged from the serial
cable and carried to another system. The parameter set remains safely stored even when
the supply voltage is interrupted.
Following a download, the parameters are stored in the volatile memory (RAM) of the
destination system, i.e. the connected UNITROL

F device, and are effective until the

next time the supply voltage is switched off. In order to store the values permanently, they
must be copied into the non-volatile memory (FPROM). The so-called Backstore mode is
used for this purpose.
