6.3 Substation Automation

Plug and play for spare parts by ash card Parameters and rmware are stored directly on ash card. That means that no tool for device exchange is necessary. This facilities the maintenance and service tasks. Additionally the ash card can be written by the engineering tool. General features Power supply is available in DC 110220 V / AC 230 V (80 W) or DC 2460 V (80 W) and a second power supply can be added for redundancy The signal acquisition has a 1 ms resolution of real-time stamping. As shown in the picture, the bay control units are designed for rough electric and thermal environments. The operating temperature ranges from 25 C to + 70 C/ 13 to + 158 F. Installation in outdoor cabinets is intended. Bay control unit HMI In order to make it easier for the system operators staff to perform operation and maintenance tasks from the local bay control cubicle, the SICAM BC bay control unit can be operated through a display panel (g. 6.3-52). The local operation panel is designed as a dedicated solution to show all necessary information about the status of a feeder in a clear and simple way, and to support easy and secure local operation directly at the feeder. It is designed for use in the door of local bay control cubicles at all voltage levels of a substation. Therefore it complies with highest EMC and a wide temperature range. It provides an interface to be used with the SICAM BC, and can be combined both with the compact and the modular version of the bay controller. It can be directly attached to the SICAM BC, or be used separated with only two connecting cables (up to 3 m). The integrated and divided frame allows for either surface mounting, without the need for a big cut-out in the door, or for ush mounting. Operation and display have been arranged in accordance with ergonomic principles, and are compatible with similar sequences on the station operation terminal. The display shows the status of the dynamic single-line diagram of the feeder, plus selected measurement information. By changing to other images, the operator gets information about all accessible measurements, statistical data, important alarms, etc. Additional LEDs indicate important status and alarms beside the display, so that any unusual condition can be recognized immediately. The associated description is provided with a slide-in strip, so that image and status are shown simultaneously. Two key locks give access to the operation mode: one for local / remote / test, and the other one for interlocked / non-interlocked operation. Command initiation is done securely in multiple steps. In this way, inadvertent input is denitely avoided. Temperature range: 25 C to + 70 C / 13 to + 158 F. The display has a limited readability below 10 C / 14 F. External dimensions (H W D) are 280 mm 220 mm 37 mm / 11.0236 8.6614 1.45669 inch.
