4.1 Overview
The PCS-9799 Station Manager is in quiescent state under normal conditions, and it is required to
respond promptly for faults. When the device is in energizing process before the LED “HEALTHY”
is on, the device need to be checked to ensure no abnormality. Therefore, the automatic
supervision function, which checks the health of the protection system when startup and during
normal operation, plays an important role.
This device based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing this automatic
supervision function of the system.
In case a defect is detected during initialization when DC power supply is provided to the device,
the device will be blocked with indication and alarm of device out of service.
When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed by a LCD message, LED
indication and alarm contact outputs. The failure alarm is also recorded in event recording report
and can be printed if required.
Hardware circuit and operation status of the device are self-supervised continuously. If any
abnormal condition is detected, information or report will be displayed and a corresponding alarm
will be issued.
A minor abnormality may block a certain number of functions while the other functions can still
work. However, if severe hardware failure or abnormality, such as PWR module failure, DC
converter failure and so on, are detected, all functions will be blocked and the LED “HEALTHY”
will be extinguished. The device then cannot work normally and maintenance is required to
eliminate the failure. All the alarm signals and the corresponding handling suggestions are listed
below.
Note!
If the device is blocked or alarm signal is sent during operation, please do find out its
reason with the help of self-diagnostic record. If the reason cannot be found at site, a trial
recovery of the device by re-energization is suggested. Please contact the supplier if the
device is still failure.

10.1 Overview
This section outlines the remote communications interfaces of this device. This device supports
several protocols (server & client) via the rear communication interfaces. The standard protocols
provided by the device are instructed in this chapter.
The rear EIA RS-485 interface is isolated and is suitable for permanent connection of whichever
protocol is selected. The advantage of this type of connection is that up to 32 devices can be
"daisy chained" together using a simple twisted pair electrical connection.
It should be noted that the descriptions contained within this section do not aim to fully detail the
protocol itself. The relevant documentation for the protocol should be referred to for this
information. This section serves to describe the specific implementation of the protocol in the
device.
Note!
A special demand besides the standard protocols described in this chapter must be
declared obviously and clearly in the technic sheet and the contract. Please pay attention
and provide detailed protocol demand when ordering.
The EIA RS-485 two-wire connection provides a half-duplex fully isolated serial connection to the
product. The connection is polarized and whilst the product’s connection diagrams indicate the
polarization of the connection terminals it should be borne in mind that there is no agreed
definition of which terminal is which. If the master is unable to communicate with the product, and
the communication parameters match, then it is possible that the two-wire connection is reversed.
The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120Ω (Ohm) ½ Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (refer to the following figure). Some devices may be able to provide the bus
terminating resistors by different connection or configuration arrangements, in which case
separate external components will not be required. However, this product does not provide such a
facility, so if it is located at the bus terminus then an external termination resistor will be required.
Master 120Ohm
120Ohm
The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device be directly connected to the physical cable
that is the communications bus. Stubs and tees are expressly forbidden, such as star topologies.
Loop bus topologies are not part of the EIA RS-485 standard and are forbidden by it.
Two-core screened cable is recommended. The specification of the cable will be dependent on the
application, although a multi-strand 0.5mm 2 per core is normally adequate. Total cable length must
not exceed 500m. The screen must be continuous and connected to ground at one end, normally
at the master connection point; it is important to avoid circulating currents, especially when the
cable runs between buildings, for both safety and noise reasons.
This product does not provide a signal ground connection. If a signal ground connection is present
in the bus cable then it must be ignored, although it must have continuity for the benefit of other
devices connected to the bus. At no stage must the signal ground be connected to the cables
screen or to the product’s chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.
10.2.1.4 Biasing
It may also be necessary to bias the signal wires to prevent jabber. Jabber occurs when the signal
level has an indeterminate state because the bus is not being actively driven. This can occur when
all the slaves are in receive mode and the master is slow to turn from receive mode to transmit
mode. This may be because the master purposefully waits in receive mode, or even in a high
impedance state, until it has something to transmit. Jabber causes the receiving device(s) to miss
the first bits of the first character in the packet, which results in the slave rejecting the message
and consequentially not responding. Symptoms of these are poor response times (due to retries),
increasing message error counters, erratic communications, and even a complete failure to
communicate.
Biasing requires that the signal lines be weakly pulled to a defined voltage level of about 1V. There
should only be one bias point on the bus, which is best situated at the master connection point.
The DC source used for the bias must be clean; otherwise, noise will be injected. Note that some
devices may (optionally) be able to provide the bus bias, in which case external components will
not be required.
Note!
It is extremely important that the 120Ω termination resistors be fitted. Failure to do so will
result in an excessive bias voltage that may damage the devices connected to the bus.
As the field voltage is much higher than that required, NR cannot assume responsibility for
any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network because of incorrect
application of this voltage.
Ensure that the field voltage is not being used for other purposes (i.e. powering logic inputs)
as this may cause noise to be passed to the communication network.
It is recommended to use twisted shielded eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown below.
Each equipment is connected with an exchanger via communication cable, and thereby it forms a
star structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is
connected to the exchanger and will play a role as master station, other equipment connected to
the exchanger will play a role as slave unit.

The IEC60870-5-103 interface via serial port (RS-485) is a master/slave interface with the device
as the slave device. It is properly developed by NR.
1. Initialization (reset)
2. Time synchronization
4. General interrogation
5. General commands
6. Disturbance records
The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.
10.3.2 Initialization
Whenever the device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been
changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The device will respond to
either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference is that the Reset CU
The device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5, the COT
(Cause Of Transmission) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the
nature of the reset command.
If the device clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to set the
device time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via the interface will
cause the device to create an event with the current date and time taken from the IRIG-B
synchronized internal clock.
Refer the IEC60870-5-103 standard can get the enough details about general interrogation.
The disturbance records are stored in uncompressed format and can be extracted using the
standard mechanisms described in IEC60870-5-103.

installation and ambient conditions given in this instruction manual.
Take care that the external wiring is properly brought into the equipment and terminated correctly
and pay special attention to grounding. Strictly observe the corresponding guidelines contained in
this section.
In certain cases, the settings have to be configured according to the demands of the engineering
configuration after replacement. It is therefore assumed that the personnel who replace modules
and units are familiar with the use of the operator program on the service PC.
DANGER!
Only insert or withdraw the PWR module while the power supply is switched off. To this
end, disconnect the power supply cable that connects with the PWR module.
WARNING!
Only insert or withdraw other modules while the power supply is switched off.
WARNING!
The modules may only be inserted in the slots designated in Section 6.2. Components
can be damaged or destroyed by inserting boards in the wrong slots.

The modules, bus backplanes are sensitive to electrostatic discharge when not in the
unit's housing.
1. Should boards have to be removed from this device installed in a grounded cubicle in an HV
switchgear installation, please discharge yourself by touching station ground (the cubicle)
beforehand.
2. Only hold electronic boards at the edges, taking care not to touch the components.
3. Only works on the board which has been removed from the cubicle on a workbench designed
for electronic equipment and wear a grounded wristband. Do not wear a grounded wristband,
however, while inserting or withdrawing units.
4. Always store and ship the electronic boards in their original packing. Place electronic parts in
electrostatic screened packing materials.
Visually inspect all the material when unpacking it. When there is evidence of transport damage,
lodge a claim immediately in writing with the last carrier and notify the nearest NR Company or
agent.
If the equipment is not going to be installed immediately, store all the parts in their original packing
in a clean dry place at a moderate temperature. The humidity at a maximum temperature and the
permissible storage temperature range in dry air are listed in Chapter “Technical Data”.
A suitable drill and spanners are required to secure the cubicles to the floor using the plugs
provided (if this device is mounted in cubicles).
There should also be free access at the rear of the equipment for additions and replacement of
electronic boards.

11 Installation
In the case of equipment supplied in cubicles, place the cubicles on the foundations that have
been prepared. Take care while doing so not to jam or otherwise damage any of the cables that
have already been installed. Secure the cubicles to the foundations.
On the other hand, electronic apparatus can transmit interference that can disrupt the operation of
other apparatus.
In order to minimize these influences as far as possible, certain standards have to be observed
with respect to grounding, wiring and screening.
Note!
All these precautions can only be effective if the station ground is of good quality.
Metal accessories such as side plates, blanking plates etc., must be effectively connected
surface-to-surface to the grounded frame to ensure a low-impedance path to ground for RF
interference. The contact surfaces must not only conduct well, they must also be non-corroding.
Note!
If the above conditions are not fulfilled, there is a possibility of the cubicle or parts of it
forming a resonant circuit at certain frequencies that would amplify the transmission of

interference by the devices installed and also reduce their immunity to induced
interference.
Movable parts of the cubicle such as doors (front and back) or hinged equipment frames must be
effectively grounded to the frame by three braided copper strips (see Figure 11.7-1).
The metal parts of the cubicle housing and the ground rail are interconnected electrically
conducting and corrosion proof. The contact surfaces shall be as large as possible.
Note!
For metallic connections please observe the voltage difference of both materials
according to the electrochemical code.
The cubicle ground rail must be effectively connected to the station ground rail by a grounding strip
(braided copper).

The grounding strips must therefore be of (preferably tinned) braided copper and not round copper
conductors, as the cross-section of round copper would have to be too large.

On power up, the green LED "HEALTHY” should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the device is healthy.
The device has latched signal devices which remember the state of the trip, auto-reclose when
the device was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore these indicators may also
illuminate when the auxiliary supply is applied. If any of these LEDs are on then they should be
reset before proceeding with further testing. If the LED successfully reset, the LED goes out.
There is no testing required for that that LED because it is known to be operational.
It is likely that alarms related to voltage transformer supervision will not reset at this stage.
1. Apply the rated DC power supply and check that the "HEALTHY” LED is lighting in green. We
need to emphasize that the "HEALTHY” LED is always lighting in operation course except that
the equipment find serious errors in it.
2. Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in Chapter "Supervision”, the "ALARM” LED
will light in yellow. When abnormal condition reset, the "ALARM” LED extinguishes.
3. Switch the remote/local control mode of the device to verify it will not transmit any remote
control command if the "REMOTE" LED is off.
4. The "CO-DEV OK" LED is lighting in green if the dual-device mode is applied. Switch of the
other device to check if the LED is off.
5. The "SYNC" LED is lighting in green if a time synchronization source is connected to the
device and the signal is normal. The LED will be of if there is no signal or the signal is
anormal.

13 Maintenance
This device is designed to require no special maintenance. All measurement and signal
processing circuit are fully solid state. All input modules are also fully solid state. The output relays
are hermetically sealed.
Since the device is almost completely self-monitored, from the measuring inputs to the output
relays, hardware and software defects are automatically detected and reported. The
self-monitoring ensures the high availability of the device and generally allows for a corrective
rather than preventive maintenance strategy. Therefore, maintenance checks in short intervals
are not required.
Operation of the device is automatically blocked when a hardware failure is detected. If a problem
is detected in the external measuring circuits, the device normally only provides alarm messages.
2. It is only allowed to plug or withdraw device board when the supply is reliably switched off.
Never allow the CT secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be opened while the
primary system is live when withdrawing an AC module. Never try to insert or withdraw the
device board when it is unnecessary.
3. Check weld spots on PCB whether they are well soldered without any rosin joint. All dual
inline components must be well plugged.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued and the failure is indicated on
the front panel with LED indicators and LCD display. It is also recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the “Superv State” screen on the LCD.
