HMI features
The REF 542plus is shown in Fig. 3.-1. This HMI features a back-illuminated LCD, 8 push buttons, several LEDs and an electronic key sensor. This new international HMI is a part of the product release of REF 542plus release 2.5. The resolution of the display is 320x240 (QVGA) and the display supports full Unicode character set. Consequently, all languages, for example Chinese, can be displayed clearly. With this HMI two different languages can be handled simultaneously. The local language can be defined as the first language with the related operating tool. Then, the second language becomes automatically English. The language on the HMI can be changed from one to the other very easily.

Command buttons
The Primary Object Control can be performed with the following push buttons to allow operating the primary objects if configured as selectable. The command push buttons for local operation of the switching devices are:
Open: to open the selected object. Close: to close the selected object. Select: to select the object. The selected object appears highlighted. CB Fast Opening: to allow opening of the circuit breaker independently from the selected control mode. When pressed simultaneously with the normal open button, this button allows opening the circuit breaker independently from the selected control mode. This feature must be enabled in the unit with the Operating Tool.
*
E-Keys Sensor: this is the sensor for the electronic keys. The sensor automatically detects which key has been inserted. The two keys are usually labelled Protect and Control to distinguish them. Protection key: is specialized to the protection environment allowing changing of parameters and other functions related to the protection. Control Key: this is dedicated to the control modes. It allows changing the operating mode of REF 542plus. The different operating modes discipline the access to the primary objects by the different REF 542plus interfaces (HMI and SCADA). When required, a Super User key to access both modes can be

Control: it displays the control functions list installed in the unit and allows displaying and changing their settings. Service: relevant information on the HW and SW configurations and basic setting of REF 542plus. Tests: to access the test mode for the HMI and the primary objects. Access to a few submenus is allowed only in some modes.
LED bars: The three LED bars are available to show the most relevant measurements acquired by REF 542plus for a quick inspection of the switchgear load situation. The three bars are marked M1, M2, and M3. Each bar is composed of twelve LEDs, ten green and two red ones. The ten green LEDs are normally dedicated to display between 0% and 100% of the nominal value of the configured measurement. Each LED corresponding then to 10% of the nominal value. The two red LEDs indicate an overload condition of 20%. The measurements displayed by the bars are set with the Operating Tool. Indication LEDs: 8 freely programmable, three-color LEDs are available for indications. There are 4 pages of these LEDs. As a result, a total of 32 indication options can be programmed for events and status regarding protection, control, monitoring, binary inputs and so on. The assignment of the LED to a specific condition is done with the Operating Tool. Infrared (IrDa) interface: This is the IrDa serial interface port to connect REF 542plus to a personal computer. By using the appropriate cable and the Operating Tool, the following actions are possible: * Download a configuration into the unit. * Upload the current configuration from the unit. * After a fault, upload the fault recorder data. This is possible only if the fault recorder has been previously enabled with the Operating Tool.
Upload other information (measurements, binary inputs status, binary output status). Do not make any changes to the REF 542plus configuration unless you are familiar with REF 542plus and the Operating Tool. This might result in malfunction and loss of warranty.

The HMI shows the following status information:

*
Ready. This green LED is turned on when the unit is in the operational state. The LED is switched off when the auxiliary power is not present or when the unit is not operational (FUPLA is not running). IBB(interbaybus) Error. This LED is meaningful only when the REF 542plus is equipped with a communication module. When the configured communication module is detected the LED turns on to green. If the module is not detected or fails, the LED turns red. When a Modbus communication module is installed, the LED becomes orange if the communication error rate increases. It becomes red when the communication error rate prevents good communication. The LED comes back to green when no communication errors occur or by resetting the module status registers (see the Modbus technical reference). When there is no communication module, the LED is always switched off. * Alarm: this LED turns to red when the user defined alarms become true. Several arbitrary alarm conditions can be defined and configured with the Operating Tool. Alarm conditions could be the trip of a protection function, loss of SF6 in the circuit breaker and so on. When this LED is on, it is not possible to close the circuit breaker or to download a new configuration. The alarm must be acknowledged first. * Interlocking Error: this LED is usually green. It turns temporarily to red when the user attempts an operation that would violate the programmed interlocking conditions; for example switching a disconnector with the circuit breaker in closed position.

Changing the language displayed

The international HMI version V5 can support up to two different languages. The first one can be used to display the local language. Due to the high QVGA resolution, it is possible to display, for example, Chinese on the HMI. Then the second language becomes English. If no local language is defined, the language used is always English, which is the default one.

Changing the language displayed on the HMI
The former HMI of the REF 542plus (HMI Version V4) can still be applied together with the base unit having the new firmware of release 2.5. provided the firmware of the HMI is upgraded accordingly. After upgrading the firmware the HMI V4 behaves almost the same as the new international HMI V5. Due to the low resolution of the LCD on the former HMI, the displaying certain languages, such as Chinese, is not possible. Other languages, such as Russian with cyrillic characters, can be used as the first language.
With release 2.5 SP1, an optional Ethernet module for the IEC 61850 communication protocol can be applied. Therefore, new menu items appear on the HMI display. Because of the limitation of the existing memory, the use of the HMI version V4 is not reasonable and it is not recommended anymore.
The design of the new international HMI V5 has been improved by extending the existing memory on the related mainboard. The information files for both languages are stored on the HMI after the download of the configuration file by the operating tool. The display of the language file is immediately available after the language change. In case of HMI V4 the language files are stored in the base unit. If the
22

display shall be changed, the relating language file must first be uploaded. After reset of the LCD the requested language will be displayed.

Viewing events
REF 542plus records the last 30 protection events (start, trips, block and other). This internal memory is managed as a circular buffer, for example the 31st event overwrites the 1st oldest one. In case of a power loss, events are kept because they are stored in the non-volatile memory. For each event, the following information is recorded: involved protection function, event type, relevant measurement (current, voltage, frequency), date and time (up to milliseconds). Events are displayed using the full screen; the single line diagram is thus not visible.

REF 542plus commissioning mode

The commissioning test mode allows accessing all the digital and analogue inputs and outputs of REF 542plus. This mode is independent of the REF 542plus application. This working mode has been designed to make easier the wiring verification. The super user key is required to enter this mode. Entering this mode STOPS the execution of the protection and control functions. The application software is not running. However, it is not deleted from the permanent memory of the unit. The commissioning test mode should be entered when the switchgear is de-energized and in a safe state.
To switch on this mode the following actions have to be performed in sequence.

* * *
Switch off the REF 542plus Base Unit. Place the super user key on the e-key sensor and keep it contacted. Switch on the Base Unit.
When the Base Unit starts the e-key is detected. The commissioning mode is entered. Verify this reading on the start-up status line COMMISSIONING MODE. When this text is visible, the e-key can be unplugged from the e-key sensor. This mode allows driving directly the binary outputs of the Base Unit. If they are connected to primary objects, operations are thus possible. The interlocking functions are disabled. Before accessing this mode, put the switchgear in safe conditions.
When entering the commissioning mode, the following screen is displayed.

HMI is not able to communicate with the Base Unit
Solution: Check that the Base Unit is powered and regularly working. Look at the status LED on the connector panel (Slot X7). The LED close to the analog inputs is related to the watchdog. When the Base Units is working this LED is on with a weak light. The other LED is related to the communication with the HMI. When the communication is properly working, this LED is blinking. When the communication is not working, the LED can be either ON or OFF. It depends on when the communication is interrupted. Check that the connection cable between the HMI and the Base Unit is inserted both in the HMI and in the Base Unit (Base Unit connector X73 and HMI connector X20) and properly tighten. Check the slave address of the connected Base Unit to be polled. The address is configured in the application file. If you do not know you can enter the following page by pressing ENTER.

Analog Inputs
REF 542plus can have a maximum of 8 analog input channels. These inputs are divided into three measurement groups:
* * *
Measurement Group 1: channel 1, channel 2, channel 3 Measurement Group 2: channel 4, channel 5, channel 6 Measurement Group 3: channel 7, channel 8
Group 1 and group 2 have to be homogeneous, which means they can measure 3 currents or 3 voltages. For example, measurements of 1 current and 2 voltages are not allowed. Group 3 can get any type of signals: 2 currents, 2 voltages, 1 current and 1 voltage and so on. Group 1 and group 2 can be used for homogeneous current or voltage measurements both from instrument transformers and non-conventional sensors. Group 3 can be used in a heterogeneous way. Channel 7 and 8 in group 3 can be used for earth-fault current with CT type input; residual voltage, or for the synchrocheck function with VT or sensor type input. The input CT 0.2A is commonly used with a toroidal transformer for sensitive earthfault current measurement. Instrument current transformers can have secondary windings ratio /1 A or /5 A. The primary nominal current (for example 400 A) is selected with the Operating Tool. The secondary current (for example /5 A) is automatically selected connecting the right wire to the analog input module.

The Rogowsky coil can be used for current sensing. The correct ratio of the Rogowsky coil is selected with the Operating Tool. The resistive divider can be used for voltage sensing. The ratio is selected with the Operating Tool. The physical input on the unit is the same both for voltage and current sensing, the selection is done via the Operating Tool. Therefore, it is possible for example to use 6 Rogowsky coils, 6 voltage dividers, or 3 Rogowsky coils and 3 voltage dividers. To detect which analog input module is present inside the unit, look in the identification label stick on the unit itself, or on the HMI service page under the HW identification submenu.

Appendix D: Self Supervision

The REF 542plus feeder terminal is provided with an extensive self-supervision system. The self-supervision system handles configuration and run-time fault situations and informs, if possible, the user of faults via the HMI and SPA event. REF 542plus is a programmable device. The configuration is built by the configuration tool REF542CONF and is composed by the following files:
* * * *
FUPLA (functions sequence) WIRE (functions connection) LCU (HMI display configuration) COM (communication configuration)
REF 542plus is a scalable system. Optional modules can be used according to project requirements. The following list provides a definition of the terminology used when defining the state of an optional module:
*
"Installed" indicates that the module is physically inserted in the REF 542plus housing. "Configured" indicates that the module has been configured in REF542CONF by a REF 542plus engineer. "Detected" indicates that the REF 542plus start-up procedure has made a successful detection check of the module.
Software supervision
Software faults require different kinds of handling and these can be modelled by defining a level that identifies the faults critical nature:
*
Level 1 Level 1 faults are irrecoverable fatal errors. After fault detection, the system is not able to guarantee safe execution of the protection and control functions. The irrecoverable fault forces REF 542plus to stop any activities and it can only be restarted after a power-switch cycle (power off/on) or after a configuration download (if possible).
Level 2 Level 2 faults are recoverable fatal errors. They are similar to level 1 faults except that REF 542plus, instead of stopping any activities, resets and therefore automatically restarts and signals the reset cause.
Level 3 Level 3 faults are errors that do not affect safe execution of the protection and control functions. In general, they are handled by signalling the fault via an HMI error message and a SPA event.
115
REF 542plus
1MRS755869

Operator's manual
The fault can be signalled externally via the following mechanism:

*
HMI LEDs * Ready: * Black Protection and control functions not active
*
Green Protection and control functions active
Network communication: * Black No communication

*
Green Communication works properly
Amber Some communication error on the line (handled only by MODBUS and ETHERNET module)
Red Communication error
Alarm Led and Interlocking errors are handled by the programmable logics HMI error message
*
If an error message has been displayed in the MMI, no other message is displayed until: a local/remote reset command has been given * completion of a configuration download SPA event
*
Supervision by bootloader
REF 542plus has an on-chip bootloader that handles the software upgrade and the entering into Factory test mode. The bootloader supervises RAM (Random Access Memory) and FLASH (MC non-volatile memory) application program correctness. At normal start-up, it performs a simple RAM test that verifies the presence of the RAM chip and its memory size. The exhaustive RAM test has to be performed if the Factory test mode is activated. If the RAM test is passed, the bootloader verifies the presence and the correctness of the application program which is stored in FLASH. The presence is verified through a pre-defined pattern check in a fixed FLASH location and the correctness is verified through application program checksum calculation. The following table presents the bootloader fault descriptions:

Reset
REF 542plus performs a complete and deep analysis of the last reset cause. The reset can be the result of a normal situation or a HW/SW fault detection. A normal situation can be either of the following two:
*
Power-switch cycle REF 542plus power is switched OFF and than ON.
Commissioning test end REF 542plus is in commissioning test mode and the user exits from the commissioning test HMI menu.
The fault situations consist of the following:

HW watchdog A HW watchdog supervises the SW execution. The required refresh time is about 80 ms (fault-time detection). This is the worst reset cause because the reset is beyond SW control which means that the real fault root cause in principle is unknown. The cause can be either SW or HW related and in any case there is no possibility to obtain a SW reference or description of the fault. The fault analysis depends on the fault reproducibility in laboratory. If the fault is not reproducible, a special REF 542plus SW can be built that is able to make a trace log of all the activities executed by the SW (interrupts, tasks switching, events, semaphore, etc.). This trace log is stored in the internal memory and can be displayed in the DEBUG port after a watchdog reset. The trace log contains the last operation performed by the system before the fault and it can be the starting point for further analysis to identify the real fault cause. That is, if the fault was HW or SW related, and, in case of SW, in which SW module the fault occurred or what sequence of events that produced the fault.
SW exceptions The internal processor supervises all instruction executions and memory access instances. In case it detects an exception, it prepares an exception stack frame and raises a SW exception interrupt. The REF 542plus exception handler stores all the information contained in the exception stack frame in the internal memory and sets the reset cause to SW exception. The SW exception always produces a HW reset. At start-up, the SW exception is signalled through a HMI and SPA event.

Operator's manual
Moreover, the exception stack frame data, which includes very important information needed when analysing the real root cause of the SW exception, is available on the DEBUG port. Examples of SW exceptions are: access error address error * illegal instruction Fatal errors
* *
Fatal errors are faults detected by the internal error checking functionality that, if it fails, compromises the system reliability (e.g. RTOS errors). The REF 542plus fatal error handler stores a fatal error description string in the internal memory. The description string contains a reference to the SW function that generated the fatal error and a description of the cause. Fatal errors always produce a HW reset. At start-up, the fatal error is signalled through a HMI and SPA event. The following table describes signalling/handling of the reset faults:

Configuration
The configuration is stored in FLASH. At start-up or after a configuration download, REF 542plus makes a consistency check on it. It consists of:
*
Version checking There are separate versions for protection and control functions (FUPLA) and COM configuration functions.
Function checking Every installed function must be implemented in the firmware and must have the expected configuration data/parameters format.
Hardware checking If a function requires a hardware component, this has to be installed and detected by the start-up procedure.
118
1MRS755869
REF 542plus
Operator's manual
Note that all version checks are performed by REF542CONF before configuration download. Therefore, the fault can occur only after a REF 542plus firmware upgrade/downgrade or after FLASH configuration data corruption. The following table describes signalling/handling of the configuration faults:

DSP (Digital Signal Processor)

The DSP supervision verifies correct DSP start-up and correct DSP working status during normal operation. The DSP start-up supervision verifies:
*
DSP version It is used to verify communication at start-up and to check SW version compatibility.
DSP Analogue Inputs calibration factors The data is retrieved from the Analogue Input module. If the data is not present or if it is corrupted, the system will be stopped because it is not able to guarantee reliable measurements and safe protection executions.
DSP configuration The DSP configuration is built by the MC from the Analogue Input and Protections configuration. It is sent to the DSP that performs a consistency check on it.

The DSP normal operation supervision verifies:

*
DSP SW watchdog It is based on a flag-toggle mechanism. The DSP is faulty if it does not toggle a flag for 1 second.
MC-DSP communication The DSP is faulty if the number of consecutive fault requests reaches a predefined counter (15). Note that, during normal operation, the DSP measurements are requested every 100ms which means that the worst fault-time detection of a DSP fault is 1.5 sec.

COM module (optional extension)

The COM module is an optional module that can be installed in the REF 542plus housing. Its supervision is done only if the COM module is detected at start-up or configured by REF542CONF. The supervision verifies correct COM module configuration start-up and correct COM working status during normal operation. The COM start-up supervision verifies:
* * *
COM module version COM configuration data version COM module type The COM start-up supervision verifies that the configured COM module type matches with the one detected.
The following fault situations can happen:

*
The COM module type detected is different from the one configured in REF542CONF The COM module has been configured in REF542CONF but it is not installed in the REF 542plus housing The COM module has been configured in REF542CONF but it has not been detected due to an internal COM module fault (the detection timeout is 30 sec.) The COM module has been detected but it has not been configured

AI20mA module (optional extension)

The AI20mA (20 mA analogue input module) is an optional module that can be installed in the REF 542plus housing. Its supervision is done only if the AI20mA module is detected at start-up or configured by REF542CONF. The supervision verifies correct AI20mA start-up and correct AI20mA working status during normal operation. The AI20mA start-up supervision verifies:
*
AI20mA version A common pre-defined pattern is used for AI20mA module detection and, if detected, an internal version number is used to perform the compatibility check.
AI20mA firmware No, or not valid, firmware detected.
AI20mA HW tests The initial hardware test detected an error.

The AI20mA normal operation supervision verifies:

*
MC-AI20mA communication The AI20mA sensor measurements and warnings status are requested every FUPLA cycle and so this time has to be considered as the worst fault time detection.

FLASH data
REF 542plus uses a FLASH device to store non-volatile data/configuration. The MC supervises every FLASH erase/write operation checking that the FLASH status registers. In order to protect the FLASH data against erroneous write/erase attempts, the FLASH is write-protected which means that erroneous access will raise a SW exception (address error). The write-protection is disabled only when valid FLASH write/erase has to be performed. Moreover, in order to guarantee data integrity, all data stored in FLASH is validated with size-check and checksum verification. The following table describes signalling/handling of the FLASH faults:

Appendix E: Telnet protocol

Through the Telnet protocol it is possible to access an Ethernet module from a specific computer connected remotely to the same network. Telnet provides bidirectional communication, where the destination system (Ethernet module) is referred to as the Telnet server, while the specific local system (for example, PC) is the Telnet client. It is possible to connect only one Telnet client to the Telnet server at a time. The Telnet server appears to the connected Telnet client as a locally connected terminal.
Configuring the Telnet Terminal

To connect a Telnet client to the Ethernet module as the Telnet server, few operations are necessary. How to connect a common PC is shown below. Both the Ethernet module and PC must be connected to the same network. Adjust the IP parameters of the PC Ethernet port so that it is in the same subnet:
A070410
Fig. 23.-1
Setting the IP properties
In the above figure, the PC Ethernet port is configured to communicate with the address 192.168.2.203 and with subnet 255.255.255.0. The subnet value must match the subnet value set in the Ethernet module, while only the first three digits of the IP address must match with the ones of the Ethernet module, the fourth digit must be different. After that it is possible to verify a remote connection with a ping command. To perform the ping command, select Run in the PC Start menu. Then type the ping command by specifying the Ethernet board IP address, as illustrated in the following Fig. 23.-2:

Operator's manual
A070411
Fig. 23.-2
Running a ping test
In the example above, the PC sends a ping command to an Ethernet board connected to the net with the address 192.168.2.106. If the connection is correct, the following window appears after the execution of the ping command:
A070412
Fig. 23.-3
Test result of ping command
Now, it is possible to establish a connection with the Telnet server of the Ethernet module. As before, use the Run command in the PC Start menu. After that, type the telnet command specifying the Ethernet board IP address as displayed in the following figure:
A070413

Log into the Telnet shell
A connection with the Ethernet board Telnet server is now established. The Ethernet module Telnet server allows different logging levels to enable different functions and commands. You can access Telnet without any log in operation by simply pressing the Enter key twice. Note that the Telnet connection is automatically closed if it stays inactive for more than two minutes. Access to Telnet as a basic user allows functions to monitor the Ethernet board status and general information.
Basic shell commands

Basic commands include:
? (or h) v q shows a list of the allowed commands prints a version of the loaded software modules closes the active Telnet connection
