Chapter 3 Functional Description
3.1 Synchronizing Modes
As described in section 1.2, RCS-9659 has three kinds of synchronizing modes. For each mode,
they have two sub-modes: synchronism checking mode and dead checking mode. Just as the
name implies, under synchronism checking mode, the circuit breaker is only permitted to be
closed while all synchronism conditions are met. Dead checking mode allows selection of various
low bus voltage conditions to enable breaker closing without synchroni sm check. This provides a
black start capability for the system. Three kinds of synchronizing modes are comprehensively
explained in the following sections.
3.1.1 Automatic Synchronizing Mode
When RCS-9659 is configured to work under automatic synchronizing mode, all functions are
provided automatically. RCS-9659 monitors slip frequency (frequency difference), slip speed,
voltage difference and phase angle difference issues control signal to adjust frequency and
voltage of generator for voltage matching and frequency matching, gives close command to the
breaker at the correct instant.
As shown the in logic diagram of automatic synchronizing mode Figure 3.1-1, under automatic
synchronizing mode, there are two sub-modes: synchronism checking mode and dead checking
mode.
Setting [En_DeadChk] determines whether RCS-9659 works as synchronism checking
([En_DeadChk] is 0) mode or dead checking ([En_DeadChk] is 1) way.
Procedure of closing circuit breaker under automatic synchronizing mode
(1) Energize the binary input [BI_AutoSync] manually.
(2) Issue a synchronism command remotely from a substation automation system or a control
center.
(3) RCS-9659 then adjust generator frequency and voltage by sending regulation pulse signals
to the prime mover governor and the voltage regulator according to predetermined settings
automatically.
(4) RCS-9659 will issue a closing command to a circuit breaker automatically when all the
synchronism parameters are within predetermined limits. The closing logic can also adopt
contact of sync-check relay to improve security further. Refer to .
(5) Remotely send a reset command to RCS-9659 to reset operation signals and LED
CLOSE.
If the dead checking mode is enabled ([En_DeadChk] is 1), immediate CB closure is enabled if
the system voltage or generator voltage is less than the setting [ V_DeadChk_Sync].
By the way, the automatic synchronizing mode is suitable for a substation or a power plant where
automatic control system is equipped by the aid of which synchronism command can be issued to
RCS-9659 automatically by substation automation system or energy management system.

3.1.2 Semi-automatic Synchronizing Mode
If RCS-9659 is configured to work under semi-automatic synchronizing mode, except that an
operator has to select wanted circuit breaker to close and to initiate synchronism process manually,
the other functions are provided automatically just the same as automatic synchronizing mode.
RCS-9659 monitors slip frequency (frequency difference), slip speed, voltage difference and
phase angle difference, issues control signal to adjust frequency and voltage of generator for
voltage matching and frequency matching, gives close command to the breaker at the correct
instant.
As shown in the logic diagram of automatic synchronizing mode Figure 3.1-2, under
semi-automatic synchronizing mode, there are two sub-modes: synchronism checking mode and
dead checking mode.
Setting [En_DeadChk] and binary input [BI_ManDeadChk] together determine whether RCS-9659
works as synchronism checking ([En_DeadChk] is set 0 or [BI_ManDeadChk] is de-energized)
mode or dead checking ([En_DeadChk] is set 1 and [BI_ManDeadChk] is energized) way. Refer
to Figure 3.1-2.

(1) Energize the binary input [BI_SemiSync] (refer to 6.2.6) manually.
(2) Select the expected circuit breaker by energizing the associated binary input
[BI_RmtSyncCmd_n]* (n=1,2,,A) manually.

to the prime mover governor and the voltage regulator according to predetermined settings
automatically.
(5) RCS-9659 will issue a closing command to a circuit breaker automatically when all the
synchronism parameters are within predetermined limits. When synchronism checking other
than dead checking function is used, the closing logic can also adopt the contact of sync-check
relay to improve security further.
(6) Remotely or locally send a reset command to RCS-9659 to reset operation signals and LED
CLOSE.
(7) De-energize associated binary input [ManualSynCmd.n] (n=1,2,,A) manually.

energized), immediate CB closure is enabled if the system voltage or generator voltage is less
than the setting [V_DeadChk_Sync]. Refer to Figure 3.1-2.
The semi-automatic synchronizing mode is usually used for locally initiating synchronism process
or checking the synchronizer RCS-9659.

command output contact in the dead checking mode.
3.1.3 Manual Synchronizing Mode
When RCS-9659 is configured to work under manual synchronizing mode, all functions have to be
performed manually. According to the information provided by the digital frequency and voltage
meters and synchroscope, the operator controls the speed and voltage of the generator as well as
the closure of the circuit breaker.
As shown in the logic diagram of automatic synchronizing mode Figure 3.1-3, under
semi-automatic synchronizing mode, there are two sub-modes: synchronism checking mode and
dead checking mode.
Binary input [BI_ManDeadChk] determines whether RCS-9659 works as synchronism checking
([BI_ManDeadChk] is de-energized) mode or dead checking ([BI_ManDeadChk] is energized)
way.
Procedure of closing circuit breaker under manual synchronizing mode
(1) Energize binary input [BI_ManSync] manually.
(2) Select expected circuit breaker by energizing associated binary input [BI_ManSynCmd_n]
(n=1,2,,A) manually.
(3) Initiate a synchronism process by energizing binary input [ BI_TrigSync] manually.
(4) Adjust the generator frequency and voltage based on reading of frequency meter, and
voltage meter.
(5) Manually issue a closing command to the circuit breaker at the correct instant based on
reading of the synchroscope. When synchronism checking other than deadline checking
function is used, the closing contact can also be in series with the contact of sync-check relay to
improve security further.
(6) Locally send a reset command to RCS-9659 to reset operation signals and LED CLOSE.
Whether the circuit breaker will close or not, it may also depend on the status of the
[BI_ManDeadChk]. Refer to 6.2.6.
(7) De-energize the binary input [BI_TrigSync].
(8) De-energize associated binary input [BI_ManSyncCmd_n]* (n=1,2,,A) manually.
If Dead checking mode is enabled ([BI_ManDeadChk] is as 1) is energized, immediate CB
closure is enabled and the operator can issue closing command immediately. Refer to Figure
3.1-3.
The manual synchronizing mode is applicable for an application where there needs manual
operation. The major drawback is that an operator with enough knowledge to avoid damage to the
machinery is needed.

[BI_NC_SyncRly]: it is a binary input on terminal E20 used to adopt the status of the normal closed

3.2 Block Function
The digital synchronizer can either send block signals to other equipment or be blocked by other
protection relays (refer to6.2.6, the binary input [BI_ExtBlk]).
Once the synchronism process has started, two normal open output contacts provided by SIG
board via terminals C27-C28 and C29-C30 (for automatic or semi-automatic synchronizing mode)
or terminals B27-B28 and B29-B30 (for manual synchronizing mode) will close to issue block
signals to other protection relays. Refer to 6.2.7 and 6.2.8.
3.3 Time Synchronization
As the equipment Real Time Clock has small drift per day, therefore, in order to have a correct
time for time tagging of event or report etc., the operator should set its time periodically or it should
be synchronized by a master clock automatically.
Time synchronization of RCS-9659 can be done by four means:
(1) IRIG-B signal input from external clock device via a RS-485 port named GPS pulse
(2) Differential signal of PPS or PPM from external clock device vi a a RS-485 port named
GPS pulse
(3) PPM or PPS input via binary input [GPS_Pulse] terminal E02 on OPT board E. Refer
to6.2.6 for detailed description.
(4) Clock message from substation automation system depending on protocol
The external clock device receives the synchronization signal from GPS antenna and then sends it
to RCS-9659 based on IRIG-B standard, as differential signal of PPM or PPS by means of
so-called synchronization bus. When the differential signal is a PPM input, setting [GPS_Pulse]
under EQUIP SETTINGS sub-menu should be set as 1, while if the differential signal is a PPS
input, the setting [GPS_Pulse] should be set as 0. A specific clock synchronization port RS-485
interface is dedicated for this application. Refer to 0.
Substation automation system clock synchronization depends on protocol. The clock message is
directly acquired by RCS-9659 through the substation automation system link. Clock message can
provide full information for a certain time as a way of year, date, hour, minute and second while
pulse input lacks these information.
Therefore, in general applications, clock message is usually combined with PPM or PPS input via
binary input, or combined with differential signal of PPM or PPS by means of the clock
synchronization port RS-485 with an accuracy of 1ms.
Moreover, the user could also set time and data directly using the local human-machine interface
(HMI) of the equipment.
RCS-9659 internal clock will then be adjusted accordingly. When the equipment is synchronized,
all events in TRIP REPORT, ALM REPORT and BI CHG REPORT and current measurement
have a time tag with synchronized attribute.


Chapter 4 Automati c Supervi sion
Chapter 4 Automatic Supervision
4.1 General Description
Though the protection system is in non-operating synchronism state under normal conditions, it is
waiting for a synchronism checking command and must execute it without fail. When the
equipment is in energizing process before the LED HEALTHY is on, the equipment needs to be
checked to ensure no errors. Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which checks the
health of the synchronizing system when startup and during a normal operation, plays an
important role.
The numerical synchronizer based on the microprocessor operations is suitable for implementing
this automatic supervision function of the synchronizing system.
In case a fault is detected during initialization when DC power supply is provided to the equipment,
the equipment will be blocked out, which means the synchronizer is out of service. Before you
must re-energize the synchronizer or reset CPU module by restarting equipment to make it back
into service, please find out the cause and inform the factory.
When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed with an LCD message, LED
indication and alarm contact outputs. At the same time event recording will record the failure alarm
which can be viewed in event recording report and be printed.
4.2 Synchronizer Self-supervision
4.2.1 Hardware Supervision
The DSP, RAM, ROM chips on CPU module are monitored to ensure whether they are damaged
or have errors. If any one of them is detected damaged or having error, the equipment will be
blocked and issue the alarm [Alm_RAM] and [Alm_ROM]. At the same time the HEALTHY LED
being extinguished and the ALARM LED being lit.
4.2.2 Check Setting
RCS-9659 series has 10 setting groups protection settings for 10 synchronism points respectively.
The settings of each synchronism point setting are checked to ensure they are reasonable. If the
settings are checked error in DSP chip and CPU chip, an alarm [Alm_Setting] and [Alm_EEPROM]
are issued respectively. Meanwhile, LED HEALTH is extinguished and LED ALARM is lit on.
If these 10 setting groups are not all set, when the protective device is provided with DC power
supply first, an alarm [Alm_InvalidGrp] will be issued. If the secondary rated current of CT (I2n) in
equipment parameters is changed and the protection settings is not confirmed or some settings in
protection settings exceed setting range, the alarm [Alm_InvalidGrp] will be issued. At the same
time the HEALTHY LED is extinguished and the ALARM LED being lit.
4.2.3 Voltage drift Supervision and auto adjustment
Zero point of voltage may drift influenced by variation of temperature or other environment factors.
Chapter 4 Automatic Supervi sion
The equipment continually automatically traces the drift and adjusts it to normal value.
4.2.4 DSP sampling Supervision
AC sampling of DSP chip is monitored and if the samples are detected to be wrong, an alarm
[Alm_Smpl_DSP] will be issued and the equipment will be blocked. At the same time the
HEALTHY LED is extinguished and the ALARM LED being lit.
4.2.5 CPU sampling Supervision
The synchronizer compares the CPU sampling and DSP sampling. In normal condition, the
sampling should be the same for a certain AC input. If a sampling in CPU is detected to be
different largely with that in DSP, the alarm signal [Alm_Smpl_CPU] will be issued and the
synchronizer will be blocked. At the same time the HEALTHY LED is extinguished and the
ALARM LED being lit.
4.2.6 Opto-coupler power Supervision
Positive power supply of opto-coupler is continually monitored. If an error or damage has occurred,
the alarm [Alm_Pwr_Opto] will be issued with ALARM LED being lit, but the equipment will not
be blocked.
4.2.7 Synchronism Point Supervision
In the manual synchronizing mode, if two or more synchronism points are selected (i.e. two or
more binary inputs [BI_ManSyncCmd_n]* are energized at the same time, n=1, 2, , A) or no
synchronism point is selected (i.e. no binary input [BI_ManSyncCmd_n]* is energized, n=1, 2, ,
A) by an operator, but a synchronizing process is triggered by energizing the binary input
[BI_TrigSync], then the alarm signal [Alm_SyncPoint] will be issued with the ALARM LED being
lit, and the synchronizing function is blocked temporarily at the same time.
After the binary inputs of other synchronism points are de-energized and only one binary input of
synchronism point is kept being energized, then the alarm signal will reset with the ALARM LED
being extinguished. The synchronism checking of the point still can be carried out if the
synchronizer doesnt reset.
4.2.8 System Voltage Supervision
If the logic setting [En_DeadChk] is set as 0 and the system or generator voltage is tool low (less
than [V_DeadChk_Syn]) during a synchronism process (i.e. a synchronism process is triggered
manually or remotely), then the alarm signal [Alm_UV_Sys] will be issued with the ALARM LED
being lit, and synchronizing function is blocked temporarily at the same time.
After the system or generator voltage returns to a normal condition, the alarm signal will rest with
the ALARM LED being extinguished. The synchronism checking still can be carried out if the
4.2.9 Voltage Transformer Supervision VTS
If the logic setting [En_VTS] are set as 1 and the negative sequence voltage of the generator
Chapter 4 Automati c Supervi sion
side or system side is more than 8V, then the alarm signal [Alm_VTS] will be issued with the
ALARM LED being lit. If the logic setting [En_DeadChk] is set as 1 at the same time, the
synchronizing function is blocked temporarily.
After the generator or system voltage returns to a normal condition, the alarm signal will rest with
the ALARM LED being extinguished. The synchronism checking still can be carried out if the
4.2.10 Circuit Breaker Closing Supervision
After a closing pulse to close a circuit breaker is issued by the synchronizer, the alarm signal
[Alm_Fail_Cls] will be issued if the auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker doesnt return a signal
(i.e. the binary input [BI_AuxContact] is energized), which means the circuit breaker is failed to be
closed.
4.3 Understand the Alarms
The hardware circuits and operation conditions of the equipment are self-supervised continuously.
If any abnormal condition is detected, information or report will be displayed and a corresponding
alarm will be issued.
A common abnormality may block a certain number of functions while the other functions can still
work. However, if serious hardware failure or abnormality were detected, all functions will be
blocked and the LED HEALTHY will be extinguished and blocking signal will be given by the
corresponding contacts outputs BO_Fail. The synchronizer equipment then cannot work normally
and maintenance is required to eliminate the failure.
NOTE: If the synchronizer is blocked or alarm signal is sent during operation, please do
find out its reason with the help of self-diagnose record. If the reason can not be found at
site, please notice the factory NR. Please do not simply press button TARGET RESET
on the protection panel or re-power on the equipment.

Chapter 5 Metering and Recording
The synchronizer also provides some auxiliary functions, such as real-time data metering, binary
input status recording, event and disturbance recording, etc. All these make the synchronizer meet
the demands of the modern power grid requirements.
5.2 Metering
RCS-9659 performs continuous measurement of the analogue input quantities. The measurement
data shown below is displayed on the LCD of the synchronizer front panel or on the local or remote
PC.
Equipment samples 24 points per cycle. Calculate the RMS value in each interval and LCD will be
updated every 0.5 second. The following system quantities are displayed in RMS values of the
secondary side of CT and VT. This device has double CPU system (i.e. CPU and MON module),
so the sampled values of both modules will be displayed on LCD through different access menu.
NOTE: Ie and In mentioned in following sections are units. Ie is secondary rated current of
transformer and In is secondary rated current of CT.

5.4 Recording
5.4.1 General description
The RCS-9659 series provides the following recording functions:
Event recorder
Disturbance recorder
These records are displayed on the LCD of the synchronizer front panel or on the local or remote
PC. Navigate the menu to view the report through LCD screen.
5.4.2 Event recorder
Event recorder includes self-supervision report, status change of binary input report and operating
report. The equipment can store 64 records of each kind for self-supervision report and status
change of binary input report in non-volatile memory.
1. Self-supervision report
The equipment is under automatic supervision all the time. If there are any failure or abnormal
condition detected, such as, chip damaged, VT circuit failure and so on, it will be logged as an
event.
2. Status change of binary input report
When there is binary input is energized or de-energized, i.e., its state has changed from 0 to 1
or from 1 to 0, it will be logged as an event r.
3. Tripping reports
When a synchronizing process is triggered and a circuit breaker is closed, than a report
[Op_Clsed_CB] will be recorded as an event.
5.4.3 Disturbance recorder
RCS-9659 can save 24 pieces of waveforms of synchronizing operations. If a new synchronizing
operation occurs when 24 waveform records have been stored, the waveform of the first type of
fault report will be overwritten, and then the latest waveform record will overwrite the oldest one if
another new fault waveform is generated again. The synchronizer stores actual samples that are
taken at a rate of 24 samples per cycle. Besides the voltage waveform, binary inputs state and
measurement magnitudes are all recorded.
There are the following two ways to initiate RCS-9659s oscillographic process to records 8 cycles
waveforms before the initiating time and 2 cycles after the initiating time.
(1) Being initiated by the binary input [BI_AuxContact]
If the logic setting [En_AuxContact] is set as 1, oscillographic process will be initiated to record
waveforms when [BI_AuxContact] rises from 0 to 1, i.e. the time when breaker is closed.
(2) Being initiated by a time delay [t_Cls_CB]
If the logic setting [En_AuxContact] is set as 0, oscillographic process will be initiated to record
waveforms after a delay (i.e. setting [t_Cls_CB]), and the delay timer begins to time since
RCS-659 issuing a closing command to circuit breaker.

Figure 6.2-2 Rear View and Typical Connections of AC Module
Both generator voltage and bus voltage on both sides of the breaker are inputted together, and
have a nominal rating of 100V or 100V/3V at 50/60Hz. As illustrated in Figure 6.2-2, secondary
voltage from voltage transformer (VT) on both sides of circuit breaker first enters into OUT board,
then passes a selective switchover circuit (remotely or locally controlled by terminal n26 (n28)).
After that, only one group of system voltage and generator voltage comes into No.J, the AC board.
Small VTs built in AC board provide isolation and converts the secondary voltage from VT to a
synchronizer acceptable level and then transfer it to LPF board for filtering. Following the low-pass
filter circuits, the analog signals enter into well-designed precise phase detecting circuit and high
accurate A/D converter. Then DSP will calculate the voltage, fr equency and phase angle and
check the synchronism conditions independently. If RCS-9659 is configured to work as
synchronism checking mode, the breaker can be closed only when synchronism conditions are
met which is judged by DSP. The AC signal flow graph is proposed in Figure 6.2-3.

NOTESince RCS-9659 calculates synchronism conditions according the voltages
inputted via channels Ua_S and Ua_G, these two channels must be led with appropriate
voltages.
DANGERNever allow the VT secondary circuit connected to the AC board or OUT board
to be short circuit while the primary system is live. Short the VT circuit will produce a
dangerously strong current.
6.2.3 LFP Module (No.H LFP)

Figure 6.2-7 Rear view of type E and external connections of COM module
All ports used to communicate with SAS support IEC60870-5-103 protocol, moreover, Ethernet
port in COM modules of type 5E also supports IEC61850. From Figure 6.2-5 to Figure 6.2-7 shows
rear view of these types and their external connections.
All types are equipped with a RS-485 port for receiving second pulse signal (PPS-pulse per
second) from GPS and a port for printer. Printer port could be configured as RS-232 or RS-485 by
setting corresponding jumpers on the PCB (RS-232 default). If logic setting [En_Net_Print] is set to
1, printer port must be set as RS-485. Transmission rate of printer port can be set by the setting
[Printer_Baud] and should be the same with baud rate of the printer.
NOTE: For the port used to printer or controller, it can be configured as RS-485 or RS-232
by setting corresponding jumper of module COM. The port is configured as RS-232 by
shorting PIN 1 and PIN 2 and as RS-485 by shorting PIN 2 and PIN 3. As shown in Figure

Figure 6.2-9 Rear View and External Connections of OPT Module
All the binary inputs of RCS-9659 are supplied by 24V. But some of them are designed to be
displayed under BI STATE sub-menu and can be sent to substation automation system as states
or as changes of state depending on the protocol. The changes of these binary inputs can be
recorded into BI CHG REPORT for future inquiring and printing. The other binary inputs are only
for control purpose (e.g. for generator voltage and frequency regulation, etc.). Consequently, they
are unnecessarily to be displayed or sent to substation automation system. All the binary inputs
are detailed described in following sections.
1 Terminal E13
It is common terminal of positive pole of 24Vdc for opto-couplers on this module. When
2 Terminal E16
It is common terminal of negative pole of 24Vdc for opto-couplers on this module.
3 Terminal E01
Binary input: [BI_Print]
It is the manual input [BI_Print] to trigger printing latest report when the equipment is configured as
manual printing mode by logic setting [En_Auto_Print]=0. The printer button is located on the
panel usually. If the equipment is configured as automatic printing mode ([En_Auto_Print]=1),
report will be printed automatically as soon as it is formed.
4 Terminal E02
Binary input: [BI_Pulse_GPS]
It is used to receive clock synchronism signal from GPS or other equipment used clock
synchronism, the binary input [BI_Pulse_GPS] will change from 0 to 1 once per second or per
minute depended on the setting [GPS_Pulse]. When setting [GPS_Pulse] is set to 1, the
equipment receives PPM (pulse per minute), otherwise, receives PPS (pulse per second). Clock
synchronism via RS-485 bus is recommended. Only one of them can be selected.
5 Terminal E03

10 Terminal E08
Binary input: [BI_SemiSync]
It is a binary input on terminal E08 used to enable that RCS-9659 works in semi-automatic
synchronizing mode.
11 Terminal E09
Binary input: [BI_ManStepUp]*
It is a binary input on terminal E09 used to regulate the generator voltage. Whenever the
[BI_ManStepUp]* changes from 0 to 1, a normal open contact via terminal n17-n18 (n is the No. of
OUT board, n=1, 2, , A) is closed to issue a step-up command to generator voltage regulator to
increasing generator output voltage. During regulation, LED U is lit on; two other normal open
contacts of signal output relay via terminal B04-B01 and B09- B07 on No.B SIG board are closed
to issue annunciation and remote signals.
12 Terminal E10
Binary input: [BI_ManDeadChk]
It is a binary input on terminal E10 used to select dead checking mode for semi-automatic
synchronizing mode and manual synchronizing mode.
13 Terminal E11
Binary input: [BI_ManAccel]*
It is a binary input on terminal E11 used to increase the generators frequency under manual
synchronizing mode. Whenever [BI_ManAccel]* changes from 0 to 1, a normal open contact via
terminal n23-n24 (n is the No. of OUT board, n=1,2,,A) is closed to issue an acceleration
command to prime mover governor to increase the prime mover speed, i.e. generator frequency.
During regulation, LED f is lit on; two normal open contacts via terminal B04-B01 and B09- B07
on No.B SIG board are closed to issue annunciation and remote signals
14 Terminal E12
Binary input: [BI_StepDown]*
It is a binary input on terminal E12 used to regulate the generator voltage under manual
synchronizing mode. Whenever the [BI_ManStepDown]* changes from 0 to 1, a normal open
contact via terminal n19-n20 (n is the No. of OUT board, n=1,2,,A) is closed to issue a
step-down command to generator voltage regulator to decreasing generator output voltage.
During regulation, LED U is lit on; two normal open contacts via terminal B04-B01 and B09- B07
on No.B SIG board are closed to issue annunciation and remote signals
15 Terminal E17
Binary input: [BI_ManCls]
It is a binary input on terminal E17, by which RCS-9659 is triggered manually to issue a closing
command to circuit breaker.
16 Terminal E18
Binary input: [BI_ManDecel]*
It is a binary input on terminal E18 used to decrease the generators frequency. Whenever
[BI_ManDecel]* changes from 0 to 1, a normal open contact via terminal n21-n22 (n is the No. of
OUT board, n=1,2,,A) is closed to issue a deceleration command to prime mover governor to
decelerate the prime mover speed, i.e. generator frequency. During regulation, LED f is lit on;
two normal open contacts via terminal B04-B01 and B09- B07 on No.B SIG board are closed to
issue annunciation and remote signals
17 Terminal E19
Binary input: [BI_ NO_SyncRly]
It is a binary input on terminal E19 used to reflect the status of the normal open contact of
sync-check relay.
18 Terminal E20
Binary input: [BI_ NC_SyncRly]
It is a binary input on terminal E20 used to adopt the status of the normal closed contact of
sync-check relay.
19 Terminal E23
Binary input: [BI_TrigSyn]
It is a binary input on terminal E23. It is only applicable for semi -automatic synchronizing mode
and manual synchronizing mode to start synchronism process. When RCS-9659 works under the
semi-automatic synchronizing mode, if [BI_TrigSync] is energized, RCS-9659s synchronism
process is initiated.
For a semi-automatic synchronizing mode, after the synchronism process has started, the
[BI_TrigSync] must be de-energized to prevent manual regulation of generator voltage and
frequency which should be carried out in the program automatically.
For a manual synchronizing mode, after the synchronism process has started, the [BI_TrigSync]
must be kept energized to permit an operator to regulate generator voltage and frequency by
energizing the corresponding binary input.
When RCS-9659 works under the manual synchronizing mode, if [BI_TrigSync] is energized,
manual regulation of generator voltage and frequency is enabled. Conversely, if [ BI_TrigSync] is
de-energized, manual regulation of generator voltage and frequency is disabled since its related
internal power supply is switched off. After the synchronism process has finished, [ BI_TrigSync]
must be de-energized.
20 Terminal E23
Binary input: [BI_ExtBlk]
It is a binary input on terminal E26, by which RCS-9659 can be blocked by an external signal from
other equipments. When [BI_ExtBlk] is energized, RCS-9659s synchronism function is disabled,
all the output relays used for blocking purpose, regulation purpose and circuit breaker closing
purpose are forbidden to output. If [BI_ExtBlk] is de-energized, RCS-9659s synchronism function
is enabled; all the output relays can work normally.
The rest of the terminals are reserved.
6.2.7 SIG Module (No.C SIG)
RCS-9659 digital synchronizer provides two kinds of signals for every event: remote signal s and
annunciation signals. The event may be an auto-regulation signal or a manual-regulation signal,
an auto-closure signal or a manual closure signal, an equipment failure or an equipment alarm.
Thus, this module is designed for automatic synchronizing mode and semi-automatic
synchronizing mode and it is used to output remote signals and annunciation signals, provides two
dry contact outputs for blocking other protection relays.
All the signals are issued by closing the normal open contacts of signal relays whenever an event
happens. The difference is that the annunciation signal relay is a bistable relay, whenever an event
happens, the normal open contact of this relay will pick up and latch. The annunciation signal relay
will not drop off automatically after the event disappears except to reset manually or remotely.

Figure 6.2-10 Rear View and External Connections of No.C SIG Module
Whenever a firmware fault is detected (refer to Chapter 4) or DC power failure happens,
RCS-9659 failure relay is energized to pick up and its relevant contacts are activated to issue
remote signal (via terminal C07-C10) and annunciation signal (via terminal C01-C03).
Whenever an alarm event (refer to Chapter 4) e.g. VT circuit failure is detected etc., it triggers
RCS-9659 alarm relay to pick up and its relevant contacts are activated to issue remote signal (via
terminal C07-C12) and annunciation signal (via terminal C01-C06).
Under automatic synchronizing mode or semi-automatic synchronizing mode, during the time that
RCS-9659 regulates the generator frequency and voltage, two normal open contacts of
auto-regulation relay are closed to issue remote signal (via terminal C07-C09) and annunciation
signal (via terminal C01-C04). After RCS-9659 issues a closing command to circuit breaker when
synchronism parameters are within preset limits, two normal open contacts of auto-closure relay
are closed to issue remote signal (via terminal C07-C08) and annunciation signal (via terminal
C01-C05). Furthermore, during synchronism process, two normal open dry contacts of blockage
relay are closed to output blocking signals to other protection relay via terminal C27-C28 and
C29-C30. When the synchronism process is suspended, these two contacts will drop off.
Note that all contacts for annunciation signals are issued by bistable relays. Whenever they pick
up they will not drop off automatically except been reset by a binary input named [BI_RstTarg] or a
reset button on front panel.
6.2.8 SIG Module (No.B SIG)
This module is designed for manual synchronizing mode and it is used to output remote signals
and annunciation signals, provides two dry contact outputs for other protection relays.
Under manual synchronizing mode, during the time that the operator regulates the generator
frequency and voltage, two normal open contacts of manual -regulation relay are closed to issue
remote signal (via terminal B07-B09) and annunciation signal (via terminal B01-B04). After the
operator issues a closing command to circuit breaker when synchronism parameters are within
ideal limits, two normal open contacts of manual-closure relay are closed to issue remote signal
(via terminal B07-B08) and annunciation signal (via terminal B01-B05). Furthermore, during the
time that the operator regulates the generator frequency and voltage, two normal open dry
contacts of blockage relay are closed to output blocking signals to other protection relay via
terminal B27-B28 and B29-B30. Oppositely, when there is no regulation operation, these two
contacts will drop off.
Note that all contacts for annunciation signals are issued by bistable relays. Whenever they are
pick up they will not drop off automatically except been reset by a binary input named [BI_RstTarg]
(refer to 6.2.6 ) or a reset button on front panel (refer to 8.1.4).

Figure 6.2-12 Rear View and External Connections of No.n OUT Module
OUT board is used to receive voltage from primary VT; switch over and output the voltage to AC
board for synchronism calculations; output regulating signals to prime mover and governor for
frequency and voltage adjustment and output closing command for circuit breaker closure; receive
binary inputs of circuit breaker auxiliary contact and synchronism commands. Normally, there is no
voltage on terminal n05-n08 and terminal n13-n16. If terminal n26 (remote synchronism command)
or n28 (local synchronism command) is energized, several built -in switches will connect terminal
n01-n04 to n05-n08, and n09-n12 to n13-n16 respectively. In other words, voltage on both sides of
target circuit breaker are gated to output to AC board for synchronism calculations. Please also do
refer to Figure 6.2-2 for voltage connections. Note that terminal n05-n08 and terminal n13-n16 on
each OUT board should be paralleled together according to the phase respectively and then they
should be connected to AC board.
Moreover, terminal n17-n18 is a dry contact output to the generator governor to step up the
generator voltage;
Terminal n19-n20 is a dry contact output to the generator governor to step down the generator
voltage;
Terminal n21-n22 is a dry contact output to the prime mover to decrease the generator frequency;
Terminal n23-n24 is a dry contact output to the prime mover to increase the generator frequency;
Terminal n25-n27 is a dry contact output to the circuit breaker switchgear to close the circuit
breaker.
In addition, three binary inputs are explained as bellowing:
[BI_RmtSyncCmd_n]*: It is a binary input on terminal n26 (n is the No. of OUT board,
n=1,2,,A). This binary input is used to receive remote synchronism command might be from
bay control unit. Energized [BI_RmtSyncCmd_n]* means a valid command.
[BI_ManSyncCmd_n]*: it is a binary input on terminal n28 (n is the No. of OUT board,
n=1,2,,A). It is only applicable for semi-automatic synchronizing mode and manual
synchronizing mode to select desired circuit breaker to be closed. When the binary input is
energized, corresponding circuit breaker is selected to be closed. When i is de-energized,
related circuit breaker is unchosen. After the synchronism process is done,
[BI_ManSyncCmd_n]* must be de-energized.
[BI_AuxContact]: it is a binary input on terminal n30 (n is the No. of OUT board, n=1,2,,A)
for signaling the position of circuit breaker auxiliary contact. It is energized when the breaker
is closed and de-energized when the breaker is open. This binary input is used to control
RCS-9659s oscillographic function together with a setting named as [ En_AuxContact].
Please refer to section 5.4.3 for details.

3. Debug_Baud
It is the baud rate of a 9-pin RS-232 port for communication with a PC for local communication on
front panel.
4. En_Net_Print
If it is set 1, synchronizers network printing function is enabled. Here, the printing serial port on
rear panel of No.F COM board must be configured as RS-485 way by setting dependent jumpers.
On the contrary, if it is set as 0, its network printing function is disabled. Report and settings can
be printed by its directly connected local printer. At this time, the printing serial port on rear panel of
No.F COM board must be configured as RS-232 way by setting dependent jumpers. Refer to
section 6.2.5 for how to set dependent jumpers.
5. En_Auto_Print
When it is set as 1, RCS-9659 will print trip report automatically once a closure command is
issued as the synchronism process is done. On the contrary, if it is set as 0, the equipments
automatic printing function is disabled.
6. Protocol
0 means IEC 60870-5-103 protocol or IEC61850 protocol is selected. Which protocol is selected
depends on the type of No.F COM board. If type 5A or 5B is configued, then IEC 60870-5-103 is
selected as communication protocol, and if type 5E is used, the IEC 61850 is selected.
1: LFP protocol, a proprietary protocol developed by NR.
7. GPS_Pulse
It is used together with a binary input [BI_Pulse_GPS] on No.E OPT board or with GPS clock
synchronization port on No.F COM board. If [GPS_Pulse] is set as 1, the pulse input is pulse per
minute (PPM), while if [GPS_Pulse] is set as 0, the pulse input is pulse per second (PPS).
8. En_Remote_Cfg
Chapter 7 Settings
If it is set as 1, RCS-9659s settings can be remotely configured by substation automation system
depending on the protocol. If it is set as 0, the function is disabled. The point to note here is that
no matter [En_Remote_Cfg] is set as 0 or 1, equipment settings in submenu EQUIP
SETTINGS can never be remotely modified.
7.2 Protection Settings
The submenu PROT SETTINGS consists of RCS-9659s synchronism settings as listed in Table
7.2-1.
As mentioned many times above, the digital synchronizer RCS-9659 is capable to provide
multi-generator solution. Each group of generator-breaker-bus can be defined as synchronism
point. In other words, every synchronism point corresponds to a group of generator-breaker-bus.
Hence, up to 10 synchronism points are provided since the maximum number of the OUT boards
armed in RCS-9659 is 10. Settings of each synchronism point can be configured accordingly.

Parameter Signification:
1. SyncPoint
This is the ordinal number of the synchronism point whose synchronism settings are listed below it
for configuration. As cited, up to 10 OUT boards are fit in the digital synchronizer RCS-9659, they
correspond to 10 synchronism points which are identified by 10 ordinal number.
2. f_Diff_Sync
It is used to specify the permissible limit of slip frequency (i.e. f) between both sides of the circuit
breaker. The generator frequency can be either greater or less than the system frequency. When
the slip on both sides of the circuit breaker for synchronism closing is greater than [ f_Diff_Sync],
RCS-9659 will not allow it to close the circuit breaker.
3. df/dt_Sync
It is used to specify the permissible limit of slip speed (i.e. df/dt) between both sides of the circuit
breaker. When the slip speed on both sides of the circuit breaker for synchronism closing is
greater than the [df/dt_Sync], RCS-9659 will not allow it to close the circuit breaker.
4. V_Diff_Sync
It is used to specify the permissible limit of voltage difference between both sides of the circuit
breaker. When the voltage difference on both sides of the circuit breaker for synchronism closing is
greater than the [V_Diff_Sync], RCS-9659 will not allow it to close the circuit breaker.
5. V_DeadChk_Sync
t is used to judge whether a bus or a generator is dead or electrified when attempting to close a
circuit breaker one side of which is dead and it can be set as a percentage of line rated voltage.
When the voltage is less than [V_DeadChk_Sync], the bus or the generator is judged as a dead
one.
6. phi_Comp_Sync
This is the advance angle of electrical phase angle of system vol tage with respect to the generator
due to the construction of the transformer. An example is demonstrated in Figure 1.1-1. The
construction of transformer is Y/d11. The vector graphics of voltage on both sides of t he
Chapter 7 Settings
transformer is shown in Figure 7.2-1. Where, UG1 and US1 are primary voltage of generator and
system respectively; UG2 and US2 are secondary voltage of generator and system
correspondingly. As seen from the voltage vector graphics, it is manifestly that the system voltage
is ahead of generator voltage 30 which is the so-called [Phi_Comp_Sync].

7. t_Cycle_RegFreq
It is used to set the impulse period of frequency modulation command. Note that the impulse
period must be greater than its width and integer times are preferred (such as 2 times, 4 times,
etc).
8. t_Cycle_RegVolt
It is used to set the impulse period of voltage regulation command. Note that the impulse period
must be greater than its width and integer times are preferred (such as 2 times, 4 times, etc).
9. t_Cls_CB
This is the circuit breaker closing time, which is the duration from sending closing command
impulse to closing coil till the circuit breaker completely closed. If [En_AuxContact] is set 1, the
digital synchronizer RCS-9659 will measure the circuit breaker closing time (from sending the
closing command to sensing the status change of [BI_AuxContact]). Every time after the circuit
breaker closure, the measured circuit breaker closing time is displayed on LCD.
10. t_Rst_Sync
This time setting is the maximum time span for checking synchronism conditions. If synchronism
conditions are not met during this span, the synchronism process will be ended and the operation
is handled as operation failure.
For manual synchronizing mode and semi-manual synchronizing mode, the time counting begins
when the binary input [BI_TrigSync] is energized, and for automatic synchronizing mode, the clock
timing starts when the binary input [BI_RmtSyncCmd_n]* (n=1,2...,A) is energized. If the logic
setting [En_AuxContact] is set as 1, then the synchronism process will be finished when the
binary input [BI_AuxContact] is energized, or the synchronism process will be ended when the
time duration is up.
11. En_AutoReg
Under automatic synchronizing mode and semi-synchronizing mode, this setting will determine
whether to adjust the frequency and voltage automatically or not when paralleling a generator. If
Chapter 7 Settings
[En_AutoReg] is set as 1, frequency and voltage regulations are done automatically. Contrarily, if
[En_AutoReg] is set as 0, RCS-9659 will not adjust frequency and voltage.
12. En_DeadChk
Under automatic synchronizing mode, if it is set as 1, or under semi-automatic synchronizing
mode and manual synchronizing mode, not only [En_DeadChk] is set as 1 but also the binary
input [BI_ManDeadChk] is energized, here, the circuit breaker can only be closed when either the
system side or generator side is detected as dead. If [En_DeadChk] is set as 0, the circuit
breaker shall be closed only when all the synchronism conditions (all preset limits) are fulfilled.
13. En_SyncRly
It determines that whether the NO and NC contacts of sync-check relay shall be used to backup
RCS-9659s operation (automatic or semi-automatic synchronizing mode). If it is set as 1, status
of the contacts of sync-check relay will be considered as one of the synchronism condition.
Inversely, if it is set as 0, RCS-9659 will issue a closing command to circuit breaker when all
preset limits are fulfilled but regardless of the status of contacts of sync-check relay.
14. En_AuxContact
It determines whether RCS-9659s oscillographic function can be initiated by the status of binary
input [BI_AuxContact]. If [En_AuxContact] is set as 1, when RCS-9659 detects that
[BI_AuxContact] rises from 0 to 1, its oscillographic function will be triggered to recording
waveforms, and please refer to the section 5.4.3 for details.
7.3 IP address
These settings are used to set the communication rate of COM module, please see Table 7.3-1 for
details.
Table 7.3-1 IP Address Settings List
No. Item Description
1 IP_Addr1 IP address of Ethernet port 1 (COM1) of the equi pment
IP address setting is in form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, such as 198.87.191.25, and each byte section is in
range of 0~255. Please refer to settings [COM1_Baud] and [COM2_Baud] in section 7.1 for
configuring these settings.

Chapter 8 HMI Operation Introduction
The operator can access the protective device from the front panel. Local communication with the
protective device is possible using a computer with the RCSPC software via an RS-232 port on the
front panel. Furthermore, remote communication is also possible using a PC with the RCS-9700
substation automation system via an RS-485 port. The operator is able to check the protective
device status at any time.
This chapter describes human machine interface (HMI), and give operator a instruction about how
to display or print event report, setting and so on through HMI menu tree and display metering
value, including mean current, voltage and frequency etc. through LCD. In the same time, how to
change active setting group or a settable parameter value through keypad is also described in
details.
8.1 Overview
The human-machine interface consists of a human-machine interface (HMI) module which allows
a communication to be as simple as possible for the user. The HMI module helps to draw your
attention to something that has occurred which may activate a LED or a report displayed on the
LCD. Operator can locate the data of interest by navigating the keypad.

There are eight LED indicators embedded in the front panel designated as HEALTH, ALARM,
SYNC, f , f , U , U ,respectively. They have two states: on and off.
1. LED HEALTH is lit to be green to show the device is in the correct working order until any
internal fault detected by self-diagnostic facilities. The LED HELATH can be lit on again
automatically after a fault clearing.
2. LED ALARM is being the off state whenever there is any firmware fault or external fault
detected by self-diagnostic facilities (refer to Chapter 4), the LED will be lit on to be yellow to
warn that RCS-9659 is being in fault conditions and needs to be attended.
3. LED SYNC is lit to be red when a synchronism process is started. If the synchronism is over
or ended, LED SYNC is extinguished off.
4. LED f , f , U or U is lit to be red when there happens a corresponding regulation
operation. If the coherent regulation is finished, the corresponding LED is extinguished off
automatically.
5. LED CLOSE is lit to be red when a closing command is issued. It can be reset to be off by
TARGET RESET button on front panel (refer to 8.1.4), binary input named [BI_RstTarg] or
remote reset message depending on protocol.
NOTEIf LED CLOSE is lit on as issuing a closing signal manually to circuit breaker via

TARGET RESET button is used to reset the LED CLOSE to off state and switch the LCD
display between the latest alarm report display screen and normal readiness screen and make the
bistable contacts of annunciation signal relays drop off. Where, the latest alarm report means the
events included in ALM REPORT happen since been reset last time till the minute. All the alarm
events are circularly displayed one by one.
NOTEIf the equipment is blocked or alarm signal is sent during operation, please find out
the cause with the help of self-diagnose record. If the reason cant be found on site, before
the verification done by NR, please never attempt to press TARGET RESET button. That
is because the fault can never be cleared by just press TARGET RESET button since the
real cause of the fault has not been figured out.

Chapter 9 Communications
This section outlines the remote communications interfaces of NR equipment. The protective
device supports a choice of three protocols via the rear communication interface (RS-485 or
Ethernet), selected via the model number by setting. The protocol provided by the protective
device is indicated in the submenu in the EQUIP SETTING column. Using the keypad and LCD,
set the parameter [Protocol], the corresponding protocol will be selected.
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 protective 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 relay.
9.2 Rear Communication Port Information
9.2.1 RS-485 Interface
This protective device provides two rear RS-485 communication ports, and each port has three
terminals in the 12-terminal screw connector located on the back of the relay and each port has a
ground terminal for the earth shield of the communication cable. Please refer to section 6.2.5 for
details of the connection terminals. The rear ports provide RS-485 serial data communication and
are intended for use with a permanently wired connection to a remote control center.
9.2.1.1 EIA RS-485 Standardized Bus
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 products 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.
9.2.1.2 Bus Termination
The EIA RS-485 bus must have 120 (Ohm) Watt terminating resistors fitted at either end
across the signal wires (refer to Figure 9.2-1). 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.

Figure 9.2-1 EIA RS-485 bus connection arrangements
9.2.1.3 Bus Connections & Topologies
The EIA RS-485 standard requires that each device is 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 also.
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 continuit y 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 products chassis. This is for both safety and noise reasons.
9.2.1.4 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 120 termination resistors are 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 can not assume responsibility for
any damage that may occur to a device connected to the network as a result 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.
9.2.2 Ethernet Interface
This protective device can provide four rear Ethernet interfaces (optional) and they are unattached
each other. Parameters of each Ethernet port can be configured in the submenu IP ADDRESS.
9.2.2.1 Ethernet Standardized Communication Cable
It is recommended to use twisted screened eight-core cable as the communication cable. A picture
is shown bellow.

Figure 9.2-2 Ethernet communication cable
9.2.2.2 Connections and Topologies
Each equipment is connected with an exchanger via communication cable, and thereby i t forms a
star structure network. Dual-network is recommended in order to increase reliability. SCADA is
also connected to the exchanger and will play a role of master station, so the every equipment
which has been connected to the exchanger will play a role of slave unit.

9.2.3 IEC60870-5-103 Communication
The IEC specification IEC60870-5-103: Telecontrol Equipment and Systems, Part 5: Transmission
Protocols Section 103 defines the use of standards IEC60870-5-1 to IEC60870-5-5 to perform
communication with protective device. The standard configuration for the IEC60870-5-103
protocol is to use a twisted pair EIA RS-485 connection over distances up to 500m. It also supports
to use an Ethernet connection. The relay operates as a slave in the system, responding to
commands from a master station.
To use the rear port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the relevant settings ot the protective
device must be configured. To do this use the keypad and LCD user interface. In the submenu
EQUIP SETTINGS, set the parameters [Protocol] as 0, [COM1_Baud] and [COM2_Baud] as
9600. For using the Ethernet port with IEC60870-5-103 communication, the IP address and
submask of each Ethernet port can be set in the submenu IP ADDRESS. Please refer to section
7.3 for further details.
9.3 IEC60870-5-103 Interface over Serial Port
The IEC60870-5-103 interface over serial port (RS-485) is a master/slave interface with the
protective device as the slave device. It is properly developed by NR.
The protective device conforms to compatibility level 2; compatibility level 3 is not supported.
The following IEC60870-5-103 facilities are supported by this interface:
Initialization (reset)
Time synchronization
Event record extraction
General interrogation
General functions
Disturbance records
9.3.1 Physical Connection and Link Layer
Two EIA RS-485 standardized ports are available for IEC60870-5-103 in this protective device.
The transmission speed is optional: 4800 bit/s, 9600 bit/s, 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s.
The link layer strictly abides by the rules defined in the IEC60870-5-103.
9.3.2 Initialization
Whenever the protective device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have
been changed, a reset command is required to initialize the communications. The protective
device will respond to either of the two reset commands (Reset CU or Reset FCB), the difference
is that the Reset CU will clear any unsent messages in the transmit buffer.
The protective 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.
9.3.3 Time Synchronization
The protective device time and date can be set using the time synchronization feature of the
IEC60870-5-103 protocol. The protective device will correct for the transmission delay as specified
in IEC60870-5-103. If the time synchronization message is sent as a send/confirm message then
the protective device will respond with a confirmation. Whether the time-synchronization message
is sent as a send confirmation or a broadcast (send/no reply) message, a time synchronization
class 1 event will be generated/produced.
If the protective device clock is synchronized using the IRIG-B input then it will not be possible to
set the protective device time using the IEC60870-5-103 interface. An attempt to set the time via
the interface will cause the protective device to create an event with the current date and time
taken from the IRIG-B synchronized internal clock.
9.3.4 Spontaneous Events
Events are categorized using the following information:

9.5 Messages Description for IEC61850 Protocol
9.5.1 Overview
The IEC 61850 standard is the result of years of work by electric utilities and vendors of electronic
equipment to produce standardized communications systems. IEC 61850 is a series of standards
describing client/server and peer-to-peer communications, substation design and configuration,
testing, environmental and project standards. The complete set includes:

These documents can be obtained from the IEC (http://www.iec.ch). It is strongly recommended
that all those involved with any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.
9.5.2 Communication profiles
The RCS-900 series relay supports IEC 61850 server services over TCP/IP communication
protocol stacks. The TCP/IP profile requires the RCS-900 series to have an IP address to
establish communications. These addresses are located in the submenu IP ADDRESS.
MMS protocol
IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper
(application) layer for transfer of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for a number
of years and provides a set of services suitable for the transfer of data within a substation LAN
environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract services in
IEC61850-8-1.
Client/server
This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and
communication activity is controlled by the client. IEC61850 clients are often substation computers
running HMI programs or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such
as protection relays, meters, RTUs, transformer, tap changers, or bay controllers.
Peer-to-peer
This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation
equipment, such as protection relays. GOOSE is the method of peer-to-peer communication.
Substation configuration language (SCL)
A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe the configuration of
substation equipment. Each configured device has an IEC Capability Description (ICD) file and a
Configured IED Description (CID) file. The substation single line information is stored in a System
Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation configuration is stored in a Substation
Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individual ICD files
and the SSD file.
9.5.3 Server data organization
IEC61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC61850 physical device
can contain one or more logical device(s) (for proxy). Each logical device can contain many logical
nodes. Each logical node can contain many data objects. Each data object is composed of data
attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each level for performing
various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
Each IED represents one IEC61850 physical device. The physical device contains one logical
device, and the logical device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD contains
information about the IED physical device. The logical node LLN0 contains information about the
IED logical device.
9.5.3.1 Digital status values
The GGIO logical node is available in the RCS-900 series relays to provide access to digital status
points (including general I/O inputs and warnings) and associated timestamps and quality flags.
The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO provides digital status
points for access by clients. It is intended that clients use GGIO in order to access digital status
values from the RCS-900 series relays. Clients can utilize the IEC61850 buffered reporting
features available from GGIO in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI display
screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability
reduces the chances of missing data state changes. All needed status data objects are transmitted
to HMI clients via buffered reporting, and the corresponding buffered reporting control block
(BRCB) is defined in LLN0.
9.5.3.2 Analog values
Most of analog measured values are available through the MMXU logical nodes, and metering
values in MMTR, the else in MMXN, MSQI and so on. Each MMXU logical node provides data
from a IED current/voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source.
MMXU1 provides data from CT/VT source 1(usually for protection purpose), and MMXU2 provides
data from CT/VT source 2 (usually for monitor and display purpose). All these analog data objects
are transmitted to HMI clients via unbuffered reporting periodically, and the corresponding
unbuffered reporting control block (URCB) is defined in LLN0. MMXUx logical nodes provide the
following data for each source:
MMXU.ST.Hz: frequency
MMXU.ST.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.PPV.phsCA: Phase CA voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.PhV.phsA: phase AG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.PhV.phsB: phase BG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.PhV.phsC: phase CG voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.A.phsA: phase A current magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.A.phsB: phase B current magnitude and angle
MMXU.ST.A.phsC: phase C current magnitude and angle
9.5.3.3 LLN0 and other logical nodes
Logical node LLN0 is essential for an IEC61850 based IED. This LN shall be used to address
common issues for Logical Devices. Most of the public services, the common settings, control
values and some device oriented data objects are available here. The public services may be
BRCB, URCB and GSE control blocks and similar global defines for the whole device; the
common settings include all the setting items of communication settings. System settings and
some of the protection setting items, which can be configured to two or more protection elements
(logical nodes). In LLN0, the item Loc is a device control object, this Do item indicates the local
operation for complete logical device, when it is true, all the remote control commands to the IED
will be blocked and those commands make effective until the item Loc is changed to false. In
RCS-900 series relays, besides the logical nodes we describe above, there are some other logical
nodes below in the IEDs:
LPHD: Physical device information, the logical node to model common issues for physical
device.
PTRC: Protection trip conditioning, it shall be used to connect the operate outputs of one or
more protection functions to a common trip to be transmitted to XCBR. In addition or
alternatively, any combination of operate outputs of protection functions may be combined to
a new operate of PTRC.
RDRE: Disturbance recorder function. It triggers the fault wave recorder and its output refers
to the IEEE Standard Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power System
(IEC 60255-24). All enabled channels are included in the recording, independently of the
trigger mode.
9.5.4 Server features and configuration
9.5.4.1 Buffered/unbuffered reporting
IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting control blocks locate in LLN0, they can be configured
to transmit information of protection trip information (in the Protection logical nodes), binary status
values (in GGIO) and analog measured/calculated values (in MMXU, MMTR and MSQI). The
reporting control blocks can be configured in CID files, and then be sent to the IED via an
IEC61850 client. The following items can be configured.
TrgOps: Trigger options.
The following bits are supported by the RCS-900 series relays:
Bit 1: Data-change
Bit 4: Integrity
Bit 5: General interrogation
OptFlds: Option Fields.
The following bits are supported by the RCS-900 series relays:
Bit 1: Sequence-number
Bit 2: Report-time-stamp
Bit 3: Reason-for-inclusion
Bit 4: Data-set-name
Bit 5: Data-reference
Bit 6: Buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)
Bit 7: EntryID (for buffered reports only)
Bit 8: Conf-revision
Bit 9: Segmentation
IntgPd: Integrity period.
BufTm: Buffer time.
9.5.4.2 File transfer
MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record or other files from
a RCS-900 series relay.
9.5.4.3 Timestamps
The timestamp values associated with all IEC61850 data items represent the time of the last
change of either the value or quality flags of the data item.
9.5.4.4 Logical node name prefixes
IEC61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters.
The name is composed of:
A five or six-character name prefix.
A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
A one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPTOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable.
Details regarding the logical node naming rules are given in IEC61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is
recommended that a consistent naming convention be used for an entire substation project.
9.5.4.5 GOOSE services
IEC61850 specifies the type of peer-to-peer data transfer services: Generic Object Oriented
Substation Events (GOOSE). IEC61850 GOOSE services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support,
Ethernet priority tagging, and Ether-type Application ID configuration. The support for VLANs and
priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be
given a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific
VLANs. Devices that transmit GOOSE messages also Devices that transmit GOOSE messages
also function as servers. Each GOOSE publisher contains a GOOSE control block to configure
and control the transmission.
The transmission is also controlled via device setting GOOSE Group ID in the setting submenu
EQUIP SETUP. The GOOSE Group ID setting item defines a definite IED group in which the
IED can communicate with each other via GOOSE protocol, and if GOOSE Group ID is configured
to 0, GOOSE service is blocked in this IED. IEC61850 recommends a default priority value of 4
for GOOSE. Ethernet traffic that does not contain a priority tag has a default priority of 1. More
details are specified in IEC61850 part 8-1. IEC61850 recommends that the Ether-type Application
ID number be configured according to the GOOSE source.
The RCS-9659 series relays support IEC61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) communication. All GOOSE messages contain IEC61850 data collected into a dataset.
It is this dataset that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The GOOSE related dataset
is configured in the CID file and it is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for
implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between RCS-900 series relays.
IEC61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be
correct to achieve the successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the
transmission and reception devices are an exact match in terms of data structure, and that the
GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly.
The general steps required for transmission configuration are:
Configure the transmission dataset.
Configure the GOOSE service settings.
Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:
1. Configure the reception dataset.
2. Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3. Configure the data.

Chapter 10 Installation and Commi ssioning
Chapter 10 Installation and Commissioning
10.1 Introduction
The chapter contains instructions on how to install and commission the equipment. It can also be
used as a reference if a periodic test is performed. The chapter covers procedures for mechanical
and electrical installation, energizing and checking of external circuitry, setting and configuration
as well as verifying settings and performing a directionality test.
The chapter contains the following information:
1) The Safety information presents warning and note signs, which the user should draw
attention to.
2) The Overview gives an overview over the major task when installing and commissioning the
equipment.
3) The Unpacking and checking the protective device contains instructions on how to
receive the equipment.
4) The Installing the protective device contains instructions on how to install the equipment.
5) The Checking the external circuitry contains instructions on how to check that the
equipment is properly connected to the protection system.
6) The Energizing the protective device contains instructions on how to start-up the
equipment.
7) The Setting the protective device contains instructions on how to download settings and
configuration to the equipment.
8) The Establishing connection and verifying communication contains instructions on how
to verify the communication.
9) The Verifying settings by secondary injection contains instructions on how to verify that
each included function operates correctly according to the set value.
10) The Final check contains instructions on how to do final check to make the equipment
ready for being put into service.
The chapter is addressing the installation, commissioning and maintenance personnel responsible
for taking the protection into normal service and out of service. The installation personnel must
have a basic knowledge in handling electronic equipment. The commissioning and maintenance
personnel must be well experienced in using equipment, test equipment, synchronizing function
and the configured functional logics in the equipment.
10.2 Safety Information
This section contains safety information. Warning signs are presented which attend the user to be
careful during certain operations in order to avoid human injuries or damage to equipment.
Warning signs
Warning!
Strictly follow the company and country safety regulations. Working in a high voltage
environment requires serious approach to avoid human injuries and damage to
equipment.
Do not touch circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal voltages and currents are
present.
Always avoid touching the circuitry when the cover is removed. The product contains
electronic circuitries which can be damaged if exposed to static electricity (ESD). The
electronic circuitries also contain high voltage which is lethal to humans.
Always use suitable isolated test pins when measuring signals in open circuitry.
Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present.
Never connect or disconnect a wire and/or a connector to or fr om a equipment during
normal operation. Hazardous voltages and currents are present that may be lethal.
Operation may be disrupted and equipment and measuring circuitry may be damaged.
Always connect the equipment to protective ground, regardless of the operating
conditions. This also applies to special occasions such as bench testing, demonstrations
and off-site configuration. Operating the equipment without proper grounding may
damage both terminal and measuring circuitry, and may cause injuries in case of an
accident.
Never disconnect a secondary connection of current transformer circuit without
short-circuiting the transformers secondary winding. Operating a current transformer
with the secondary winding open will cause a massive potential build-up that may
damage the transformer and may cause injuries to humans.
Never unmount the front or back cover from a powered equipment or from a equipment
connected to powered circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present.
Caution signs

Caution!
Always transport modules using certified conductive bags. Always handle modules using
a conductive wrist strap connected to protective ground and on a suitable antistatic
surface. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may cause damage to the module.
Do not connect live wires to the equipment. Internal circuitry may be damaged.
Always use a conductive wrist strap connected to protective ground when replacing
modules. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may damage the module and equipment
circuitry.
Take care to avoid electrical shock if accessing wiring and connection equipment when
installing and commissioning.
Note signs
Note!
Changing the active setting group will inevitably change the equipments operation. Be
careful and check regulations before making the change.
The protection assembly is designed for a maximum continuous current of four times
rated value.
Activating the other setting group without proper configuration may seriously affect the
equipments operation.
10.3 Overview
The settings for each function must be calculated before the commissioning task can start. A
configuration, made in the configuration and programming tool, must also be available if the
equipment does not have a factory configuration downloaded.
The equipment is unpacked and visually checked. It is preferably mounted in a cubicle. The
connection to the protection system has to be checked in order to verify that the installation was
successful.
The installation and commissioning task starts with configuring the digital communication modules,
if included. The equipment can then be configured and set, which means that settings and a
configuration has to be applied if the equipment does not have a factory configuration downloaded.
Then the operation of each included function according to applied settings has to be verified by
secondary injection. A complete check of the configuration can then be made. A conformity test of
the secondary system has also to be done. When the primary system has been energized a
directionality check should be made.
10.4 Unpacking and Checking the Equipment
Procedure
1) Remove the transport casing.
2) Visually inspect the equipment.
Carefully examine the protection panel, equipment inside and other parts inside to see
that no physical damage has occurred since installation.
The rating information should be given for the equipment.
The rating information of other auxiliary protections should be checked to ensure it is
correct for the particular installation.
Panel wiring:
Check the conducting wire used in the panel to assure that their cross section meet the
requirement. Carefully examine the wiring to see that they are no connection failure exists.
Label:
Check all the isolator links, terminal blocks, ferrules, indicators, switches and push buttons to
make sure that their labels meet the requirements of this project.
Equipment plug-in modules:
Check each plug-in module of the equipments on the panel to make sure that they are well
installed into the equipment without any screw loosened.
Earthing cable:
Check whether the earthing cable from the panel terminal block is safely screwed to the panel
steel sheet.
Switch, keypad, isolator links and push button:
Check whether all the switches, equipment keypad, isolator links and push buttons work normally
and smoothly.
3) Check that all items are included in accordance with the delivery documents.
The user is requested to check that all software functions are included according to the delivery
documents after the terminal has been energized.
4) Check for transport damages.
These product checks cover all aspects of the protection, which should be checked to ensure that
the protection not only has not been physically damaged prior to commissioning but also functions
correctly and all input quantity measurements are within the stated tolerances.
10.5 Installing the Protective Device
10.5.1 Overview
The mechanical and electrical environmental conditions at the installation site must be within
permissible range according to the technical data of the equipment. Dusty, damp places, places
liable to rapid temperature variations, powerful vibrations and shocks, surge voltages of high
amplitude and fast rise time, strong induced magnetic fields or similar extreme conditions should
be avoided. Please refer to Chapter 2 for details.
Sufficient space must be available in front of and at rear of the protection panel to allow access for
maintenance and future modifications. Flush mounted equipment should be mounted so that
equipment modules can be added and replaced without excessive demounting.
10.5.2 Dimensions
The equipment adopts IEC standard chassis and is rack with modular structure. It uses an integral
faceplate and plug terminal block on backboard for external connections. RCS-9659 series is IEC
4U high and 19 wide. Figure 10.5-1 shows its dimensions and Figure 10.5-2 shows the panel
cut-out.

10.5.3 Grounding Guidelines
Switching operations in HV installations generate transient over voltages on control signal cables.
There is also a background of electromagnetic RF fields in electrical installations that can induce
spurious currents in the devices themselves or the leads connected to them.
All these influences can influence the operation of electronic apparatus. 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.
10.5.4 Cubicle Grounding
The cubicle must be designed and fitted out such that the impedance for RF interference of the
ground path from the electronic device to the cubicle ground terminal is as low as possible.
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 (refer to Figure 10.5-3).
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).

10.5.5 Ground Connection on the Device
There is a ground terminal on the rear panel (refer to Figure 10.5-4), and the ground braided
copper strip can be connected with it. Take care that the grounding strip is always as short as
possible. The main thing is that the device is only grounded at one point. Grounding loops f rom
unit to unit are not allowed.
There are some ground terminals on some connectors of the equipments, and the sign is GND.
All the ground terminals are connected in the cabinet of this equipment. So, the ground terminal on
the rear panel (refer to Figure 10.5-4) is the only ground terminal of this device.

Figure 10.5-4 Ground terminal
10.5.6 Grounding Strips and their Installation
High frequency currents are produced by interference in the ground connections and because of
skin effect at these frequencies, only the surface region of the grounding strips is of consequence.
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.
Data of braided copper strip: threaded M4, 4.0mm

. Proper terminations must be fitted to both
ends (press/pinch fit and tinned) with a hole for bolting them firmly to the items to be connected.
The surfaces to which the grounding strips are bolted must be electrically conducting and
non-corroding.
The following figure shows the ground strip and termination.

10.5.7 Making the electrical connections
Always make sure established guidelines for this type of terminal is followed during installation.
When necessary use screened twisted-pair cables to minimize susceptibility. Otherwise, use any
kind of regular nonscreened tinned RK cable or equivalent.
When using screened cabling always use 360 full screen cable bushing to ensure screen
coupling. Ensure that all signals of the single circuit are in the same single cable. Avoid mixing
current and voltage measuring signals in the same cable. Also use separate cables for control and
measuring circuits.
1) Connecting the VT/CT circuits:
Heavy-duty terminal block, M4 threaded terminal ends. VT circuit must be connected with the
protective device through an MCB.
2) Connecting the auxiliary power:
Auxiliary power cords cross can be directly screwed fixed on the rear panel of DC board. Refer to
section 6.2.1.
3) Input/output signal connectors:
Welding terminals. Those devices are supplied with sufficient M4 screws for making connections
to the rear mounted terminal blocks using ring terminals, with a recommended maximum of two
ring terminals per terminal.
To meet the insulation requirements of the terminal block, for the sake of saf ety, an insulating
sleeve should be fitted over the ring terminal after crimping.
The wire used for all connections to the welding terminal blocks and heavy duty terminal blocks,
except the EIA RS-485 port, should have a minimum voltage rating of 300Vrms.
It is recommended that the auxiliary power circuit wiring should be protected by using a 16A high
rupture capacity (HRC) fuse of type NIT or TIA. For safety reasons, current transformer circuits
must never be open.
4) Connecting to protective ground:
Connect the unit to the grounding bar of the cubicle with green/yellow conductor; connected to the
protective Earthing terminal at the back of the DC board. Refer to section 6.2.2. Attend that the
earth wire must be as short as possible. All cautions have to be taken to ensure the best electrical
conductivity, particularly the contact quality, stainless conductor. The impedance between the
equipment Earthing terminal and the Earth must be less than 20m under 12Volt, 50Hz. What
matters is that the device has to be only grounded at one point. Loop grounding from unit to unit is
not allowed.
5) Installing the optic fibres
Connectors are generally color coded; connect blue or dark grey cable connectors to blue or dark
grey (receive) back-side connectors. Connect black or grey cable connectors to black or grey
(transmit) back-side connectors.
Fiber optical cables are sensitive to handling. Do not bend too sharply. The minimum curvature
radius is 15 cm for plastic fibers and 25 cm for glass fibers. If cable straps are used, apply with
loose fit.
NOTE: Always hold the connector, never the cable, when connecting or disconnecting
optical fibres. Do not twist, pull or bend the fibre. Invisible damage may i ncrease fibre damping
thus making communication impossible.
6) Installing the RS-485 serial port communication cables:
When using galvanic connection between the synchronizer equipment and communication
equipment or point-to-point galvanic connection between two equipments it is essential that the
cable installation is carefully done. This is true regardless of type of module used, only the
possible length of the cable differs. The factors that must be taken into account is the susceptibility
for noise disturbance, due to that the levels of the communication signal are very low. For a best
result, a cable with twisted pairs with screen should be used.
RS-485 serial communication interface, a termination 120-ohm resistor has to be connected at
each extremity of the bus. Refer to Chapter 9.

Figure 10.5-6 Typical wiring
10.6 Check the External Circuitry
The user must check the installation, which includes verifying that the equipment is connected to
the other parts of the protection system. This is done with the equipment and all connected circuits
de-energized.
1) Checking the VT circuits
Check that the wiring is in strict accordance with the suppli ed wiring diagram.
Test the circuitry. The following tests are recommended:
Polarity check
Grounding check
2) Checking the power supply
Check that the value of the auxiliary supply voltage remains with the permissible range under all
operating conditions. Check that the polarity is correct according to the instruction manual on the
rear plate of DC board. Refer to section 6.2.1.
3) Checking binary input circuits
Preferably, disconnect the binary input connector form the binary input cards. Check all connected
signals so that both input level and polarity are in accordance with the equipments specifications.
NOTE: The binary inputs may be energized from an external dc auxiliary supply (e.g. the
station battery) in some installations. Check that this is not the case before connecting the
field voltage otherwise damage to the protection may result. The status of each binary
input can be viewed using either RCSPC software installed in a portable PC or by
checking the front man-machine interface LCD. When each binary input is energized the
display will change to indicate the new state of the inputs.
4) Checking binary output circuits
Preferably, disconnect the binary output connector form the binary output cards. Check all
connected signals so that both load and polarity are in accordance with the equipments
specifications.
10.7 Energizing the Equipment
Before the procedures in this section can be carried out the connection to external circuitry must
have been checked which ensures that the installation was made correctly.
The user must energize the power supply to the equipment to start it up. This could be done in a
numerous of ways, from energizing a whole cubicle to energizing a single equipment. The user
should reconfigure the equipment settings. The equipment clock must be set. The self-supervision
function should also be checked to verify that the equipment operates properly. The user could
also check the software version, the equipments serial number, the installed modules, and their
ordering number to ensure that the equipment is according to delivery and ordering specifications.
10.7.1 Checking front panel LCD display
The liquid crystal display (LCD) is designed to operate in a wide range of substation ambient
temperatures. For this purpose, this equipment has an automatic LCD contrast adjusting feature,
which is capable to adjust LCD contrast automatically according to the ambient temperature.
Connect the equipment to DC power supply correctly and turn the equipment on. Check program
version and forming time displayed in command menu to ensure that are corresponding to what
ordered.
10.7.2 Setting the date and time
If the time and date is not being maintained by substation automation system, the date and time
should be set manually.
Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using menu item CLOCK. Refer to
section 8.4.3 for detailed procedures.
In the event of the auxiliary supply failing, with a battery fitted on CPU board, the time and date will
be maintained. Therefore when the auxiliary supply is restored the time and date will be correct
and not need to set again.
To test this, remove the auxiliary supply from the equipment for approximately 30s. After being
re-energized, the time and date should be correct.
10.7.3 Checking light emitting diodes (LEDs)
On power up, the green LED HEALTHY should have illuminated and stayed on indicating that
the protective device is healthy.
The equipment has latched signal relays which remember the state of close when the equipment
was last energized from an auxiliary supply. Therefore this indicator may also illuminate when the
auxiliary supply is applied. If this LED is 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.
Produce one of the abnormal conditions listed in 4.3 the ALARM LED will be lit in yellow. When
abnormal condition reset, the ALARM LED is extinguished. Other LEDs can be tested during
functional check stage.
10.8 Setting the Protective Device
The customer specific values for each setting parameter have to be available. Each function
included in the equipment has several setting parameters which has to be set in order to make the
equipment behave as intended. A default value is provided for each parameter from factory.
All settings can be:
Download from a PC or laptop with RCSPC software or remotely by SCADA. Front port
communication has to be established before the settings can be downloaded.
Entered manually through the local HMI (refer to section 8.2.5)
To change settings through the local HMI need a password which is +, , and - keyboard
on the front panel.
Unless previously agreed to the contrary, the customer will be responsible for determining the
application-specific settings to be applied to the protection and for testing of any scheme logic
applied by external wiring and/or configuration of the protections internal programmable scheme
logic.
10.9 Establishing Connection and Verifying Communication
This test should only be performed where the protection is to be accessed from a remote location
and will vary depending on the communications standard being adopted.
It is not the intention of the test to verify the operation of the complete system from the equipment
to the remote location, just the protections rear communications port and any protocol converter
necessary.
10.10 Verifying settings by secondary injection
10.10.1 Commissioning Tools
Required tools for testing of a protective device:
Minimum equipment required:
Multifunctional dynamic current and voltage injection test set with interval timer.
Multimeter with suitable AC current range and AC/DC voltage ranges of 0-440V and 0-250V
respectively.
Continuity tester (if not included in the multimeter).
Phase angle meter.
Phase rotation meter.
NOTE: Modern test set may contain many of the above features in one unit.
Optional equipment:
An electronic or brushless insulation tester with a DC output not exceeding 500 V (for
insulation resistance test when required).
A portable PC, with appropriate software (this enables the rear communications por t to be
tested, if this is to be used, and will also save considerable time during commissioning).
EIA RS-485 to EIA RS-232 converter (if EIA RS-485 IEC60870-5-103 port is being tested).
An EPSON 300K printer.
RCS-9000 serials dedicated protection tester TEST or HELP-90.
At the same time, the calculated settings, substation configuration diagram, the protective device
diagram and the instruction manual is essential to test the protective device.
The equipment has to be set before the testing can start. Only the functions that are used should
be tested.
The response from a test can be viewed in different ways:
Binary output signals
Service values in the local HMI
A PC with RCSPC software or SCADA or master station
All used setting groups should be tested. The user can release the functions to be tested and
prevent other functions from operation by setting the corresponding parameters. The user could
also energize the binary input [BI_BlkComm] to disable communication function to ensure that no
events are reported to remote station during the test.
The setting checks ensure that all of the application-specific protection settings (i.e. both the
protections function and programmable scheme logic settings), for the particular installation, have
been correctly applied to the protection.
10.10.2 Insulation test (if required)
Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if it is required for them to be
done and they have not been performed during installation.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the isolation with an electronic or brushless insulation
tester at a DC voltage not exceeding 500V, The circuits need to be tested should include:
Voltage transformer circuits
DC power supply
Optic-isolated control inputs
Output contacts
Communication ports
The insulation resistance should be greater than 100M at 500V.
10.10.3 Testing the AC Voltage Inputs
This test verifies that the accuracy of voltage measurement is within the acceptable tolerances.
Checking its magnitude using a multimeter. The corresponding reading either in the protections
menu MEASUREMENT or a portable computer connected to the front communication port with
software RCSPC.
The measurement accuracy of the protection is 5%. However, an additional allowance must be
made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
NOTE: The closing circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent
accidental operation of the associated circuit breaker.

Test method:
To unplug all the terminals sockets of this protective device, and do the Insulation resistance test
for each circuit above with an electronic or brushless insulation tester.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected
to the protection.
10.10.5 Synchronism Function
All used synchronism points should be tested. De-energized binary input [BI_RunState] and follow
the procedures stated in section 3.1 to test desired synchronizing mode and synchronism point.
10.11 Final Check
After the above tests are completed, remove all test or temporary shorting leads, etc. If it has been
necessary to disconnect any of the external wiring from the protect ion in order to perform the
wiring verification tests, it should be ensured that all connections are replaced in accordance with
the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
Ensure that the equipment has been restored to service.
If the equipment is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit
breaker maintenance and current counters should be zero. If a test block is installed, remove the
test plug and replace the cover so that the protection is put into service.
Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records and alarms have been cleared
and LEDs has been reset before leaving the protection.

Chapter 11 Maintenance
The synchronizer RCS-9659 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.
11.1 Appearance Check
1. The equipment case should be clean without any dust stratification. Case cover should be
sealed well. No component has any mechanical damage and distortion, and they should be
firmly fixed in the case. Equipment terminals should be in good condition. The keys on the
front panel with very good feeling can be operated flexibly.
2. It is only allowed to plug or withdraw equipment 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
equipment 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.
11.2 Failure Tracing and Repair
Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
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 ALM REPORT screen on the LCD.
When a failure is detected during regular testing, confirm the following:
Test circuit connections are correct
Modules are securely inserted in position
Correct DC power voltage is applied
Correct AC inputs are applied
Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual
11.3 Replace Failed Modules
If the failure is identified to be in the equipment module and the user has spare modules, the user
can recover the protection by replacing the failed modules.
Repair at the site should be limited to module replacement. Maintenance at the component level is
not recommended.
Check that the replacement module has an identical module name (AC, DC, CPU, SIG, OPT, OUT,
etc.) and hardware type-form as the removed module. Furthermore, the CPU module replaced
should have the same software version. In addition, the AC and DC module replaced should have
the same ratings.
The module name is indicated on the top front of the module. The software version is indicated in
LCD menu VERSION.
CAUTION:
When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an earthed wrist band
and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many of the electronic
components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module, check the settings.
1) Replacing a module
Switch off the DC power supply
Disconnect the trip outputs
Short circuit all AC current inputs and disconnect all AC voltage inputs
Unscrew the module.
WARNING:
Hazardous voltage can be present in the DC circuit just after switching off the DC power
supply. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the voltage to discharge.
2) Replacing the Human Machine Interface Module (front panel)
Open the equipment front panel
Unplug the ribbon cable on the front panel by pushing the catch outside.
Detach the HMI module from the equipment
Attach the replacement module in the reverse procedure.
3) Replacing the AC, DC, CPU, OPT or OUT module
Unscrew the module connector

After replacing the CPU module, input the application-specific setting values again.
WARNING:
Units and modules may only be replaced while the supply is switched off and only by
appropriately trained and qualified personnel. Strictly observe the basic precautions to
guard against electrostatic discharge.
WARNING:
When handling a module, take anti-static measures such as wearing an earthed wrist band
and placing modules on an earthed conductive mat. Otherwise, many of the electronic
components could suffer damage. After replacing the CPU module, check the settings.
DANGER:
After replacing modules, be sure to check that the same configuration is set as before the
replacement. If this is not the case, there is a danger of the unintended operation of
switchgear taking place or of protections not functioning correctly. Persons may also be
put in danger.
11.4 Replace Button Battery
When the voltage of button Battery on CPU board is below 2.5 volts (nominal voltage is 3 volts),
please replace the button battery to ensure internal clock of CPU board running correctly.
11.5 Cleaning
Before cleaning the equipment, ensure that all AC/DC supplies, current transformer connections
are isolated to prevent any chance of an electric shock whilst cleaning. Use a smooth cloth to
clean the front panel. Do not use abrasive material or detergent chemicals.
11.6 Storage
The spare equipment or module should be stored in a dry and clean room. Based on IEC standard
60255-6 the storage temperature should be from -40C to 70C, but the temperature of from -10C
to 40C is recommended for long-term storage.
