Introduction
Switchsync PWC600 is a point-on-wave controller for high-voltage circuit breakers.
Its purpose is to delay circuit breaker operations such that current inception or current
interruption occurs at a phase angle that minimizes stress on the switched load or the
circuit breaker. The IED is usually installed in the control room, where all required
signals are present.

Application overview
Controlled switching, provided by Switchsync PWC600, is used for minimizing
harmful electrical transients upon planned switching of loads such as capacitor banks,
shunt reactors and power transformers. The method is also gaining acceptance for reenergizing of EHV transmission lines, and replacing traditional pre-insertion
resistors.
2.3.1
Application examples
Shunt capacitor banks
Basic aim is to control closing to minimize the energizing transients (voltage
transients as well as inrush currents). To improve interrupting performance,
controlled opening can also be utilized.
Shunt reactors
Basic aim is to control de-energizing to ensure reignition-free current interruption. In
addition, controlled closing also serves as a useful method for minimizing the inrush
currents.

Power transformers
Basic aim is to control energization to minimize inrush currents. This is enabled by
controlled de-energization, to set a residual flux pattern, which is taken into account
for the subsequent energization.
Unloaded transmission lines and power cables
Basic aim is to control closing to minimize overvoltage transients. To improve
interrupting performance, controlled opening can also be utilized.

Communication
The IED supports communication protocols IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 61850-9-2LE and
HTTP over Ethernet.
All operational information and controls are available through these protocols.
However, some communication functionality, for example, horizontal
communication (GOOSE) between the IEDs, is only enabled by the IEC 61850-8-1
communication protocol.
Waveform (disturbance) files are accessed using IEC 61850 or the Web interface.
Disturbance files are also available to any Ethernet based application in the standard
COMTRADE format. The IED can send binary signals to other IEDs (so called
horizontal communication) using the IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE (Generic Object
Oriented Substation Event) profile. Binary GOOSE messaging can, for example, be
employed for protection and interlocking-based protection schemes. The IED meets
the GOOSE performance requirements for tripping applications in distribution
substations, as defined by the IEC 61850 standard. Further, the IED supports the
sending and receiving of analog values using GOOSE messaging. Analog GOOSE
messaging enables fast transfer of analog measurement values over the station. The
IED interoperates with other IEC 61850 compliant IEDs, tools and systems and
simultaneously reports events to five different clients on the IEC 61850 station bus.
IEC 61850-9-2LE is supported for subscribing the current and voltage signals in
digital sampled value format.

All communication connectors, except for the front port connector, are placed on the
integrated communication module. The IED is connected to Ethernet-based
communication systems via the RJ-45 connector (10/100BASE-TX) or the fibre-optic
multimode LC connector (100BASE-FX).
The IED supports the following time synchronization methods with a timestamping
resolution of 1 ms:

When using PCM600 for writing to the IED, ensure that the LHMI or
WHMI is not in a menu position where settings can be changed. Only
one active transaction, from LHMI, WHMI, or PCM600, is allowed at
a time.
With the individual tool components, you can perform different tasks and functions.
PCM600 can operate with various topologies, depending on the customer needs.

Connectivity packages
A connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code and
data which enables system tools to communicate with an IED. Connectivity packages
are used to create configuration structures in PCM600.
A connectivity package includes all of the data which is used to describe the IED. For
example it contains a list of what parameters exist, which data format is used, the units,

Introduction
Switchsync PWC600 is a point-on-wave controller, which is used to reduce stresses
imposed on the circuit breaker as well as on the switched load during energization and
de-energization operations. Circuit breaker closing and opening commands that are
not time critical are routed through Switchsync PWC600. The IED then issues
individual commands to the circuit breaker poles depending on the load to be
switched, considering its connection and design configuration.
After completion of a controlled switching operation, Switchsync PWC600 compares
the actual with the target switching instants. The results are used to optimize the
estimated operating times of the circuit breaker in the next operation. This process is
known as “adaptive correction”; it compensates for systematic changes in the circuit
breaker’s operation characteristics.
Deterministic changes in operating times due to internal or external parameters, such
as auxiliary voltage, idle time, ambient temperature, drive energy, can also be
compensated using individual compensation curves. Respective sensor signals are
either connected to the IED directly, or they can be received from remote sources via
IEC 61850 analog GOOSE messages.
Switchsync PWC600 is also capable of calculating the expected remaining life of the
circuit breaker in terms of number of operations and electrical interrupter wear
(ablation of arcing contacts, erosion of nozzles). This is based on interrupted primary
current and status signals of CB auxiliary contacts.
On every supervised signal, Switchsync PWC600 can generate warnings and alarms
when crossing assigned limits. Such conditions can be indicated visually by LEDs on
the LHMI, electrically by alarm contacts on the IED, or remotely via its Ethernet
communication interfaces. Each supervision alarm can be individually enabled or
disabled.
3.2
Switching targets
On arrival of a switching command, the IED calculates the optimal switching target
phase angles with respect to the reference voltage or reference current signals. The
calculations are based on the load to be switched, its connection and design
configuration, and the switching duty considering operating time variations and
external parameter variations.

Target definitions
Controlled switching targets in Switchsync PWC600 are defined with respect to
reference signals.
•
•
Primary voltage is used as reference for load energization (circuit breaker
closing). Voltage measurement may be single-phase or three-phase, for phase-toground or phase-to-phase voltage.
Either the primary source voltage (same as for closing operations) or the load
current may be used as reference for load de-energization (circuit breaker
opening). Current measurement must be taken from all three phases, and the CT
secondary current should not be lower than 50 mA.
Reference signals can be provided by conventional PTs/CTs, or from IEC
61850-9-2(LE) compliant NCITs. The system phase rotation (L1-L2-L3 or L1-L3L2) is also taken into account through a setting. Analog signals are sampled at a rate
of 80 samples per power cycle, i.e. sampling frequency of 4000 S/s at 50 Hz or 4800
S/s at 60 Hz.
With the reference signals selected, the individual switching targets are given as phase
angles of the intended instants of current making or current interruption (electrical
switching instants). In each phase, the target is defined relative to a positive-going
zero crossing of the reference signal in that phase (0 degrees).
The phase of the first circuit breaker pole to operate is called “lead phase”. For
selection of the lead phase, two options are available.
•
•
Random – the lead phase is selected randomly every time. This selection will
statistically equalize electrical stress on the three CB poles.
Fixed phase (L1) – phase L1 is always switched first.
In the other two phases, the reference zero crossing is selected as the one following the
reference zero in the lead phase. Since target phase angles can assume only positive
values, the switching instants of the other two poles occur no earlier than in the lead
phase.
For load de-energization, the circuit breaker is controlled to separate its contacts some
time prior to the target interruption instant. The time difference between target instants
of contact separation and current interruption is called target arcing time. In most
applications, this target arcing time is defined by a window of minimum and
maximum arcing times.
3.2.2
Target selection: predefined and user-defined strategies
For common controlled switching applications, the optimal switching targets are
predefined in the IED software (application function SSCPOW). These should give
good results in most use cases. The user just needs to specify the type of load, its
electrical connections (vector group) and possibly few other design or application

parameters. The application function chooses the respective controlled switching
strategies from its built-in database, which is also displayed in Switchsync Setting
Tool during the process.
A user-defined controlled switching strategy can be applied for special targeting
requirements. This is preferably done in Switchsync Setting tool of PCM600. Here,
the user needs to enter the following information.
1.
2.
Lead phase – either random or fixed (L1).
Making targets (Close operations) or mechanical contact separation targets
(Open operations). For the lead phase, the user-defined target is specified in
electrical degrees relative to a positive-going zero crossing of the respective
reference signal. For the other two phases, the targets are specified in electrical
degrees relative to the target instant in the lead phase. (Note the different
definition from predefined strategies.)
Only positive values can be entered for switching targets, hence the
target instants in the phases to follow cannot precede the target
instants in the lead phase.
The predefined switching strategies are optimized for single-pole operated (SPO)
circuit breakers, which are considered best suitable for controlled switching.
However, it is possible to perform controlled switching for three-pole-operated (TPO)
circuit breakers with ganged operation or mechanical staggering. For this purpose,
controlled switching targets can be assigned with best possible or compromise targets
through a user-defined strategy.
Targeting-related data stored in operation records always refer to a
positive-going zero crossing of the reference signal in the same phase,
regardless whether a predefined or a user-defined strategy has been
chosen.
3.2.3
Circuit breaker properties
Knowledge of key parameters of the circuit breaker is essential for successful
controlled switching. These key parameters are usually separate for Close and Open
operations.

Some of these parameters are defined by the circuit breaker design; these can be
provided in advance. Others are specific to each pole and are ideally obtained on site
during (or prior to) commissioning.
Switchsync Setting Tool (SST) provides easy access to all relevant parameters. The
installation package of the Switchsync PWC600 Connectivity Package also includes
a library of ABB circuit breaker models, containing design-related parameters. In case
the actual circuit breaker model is not included, the user may define a new “custom”
circuit breaker type by modifying data from the library, or create a new circuit breaker
type altogether.
For acquisition of pole-specific parameters prior to live switching, Switchsync
PWC600 provides a “CB timing test mode”. With the main contacts connected to
dedicated inputs, offline switching operations are controlled and evaluated by the
IED. The properties thus learned are used in regular operations.
3.3
Optimization of accuracy
The operating times (switching times) of the circuit breaker may change with certain
parameters, such as time (age), temperature, idle time since the last operation and DC
control voltage. To optimize the controlled switching performance in such changes,
Switchsync PWC600 provides two features, parameter compensation and adaptive
correction. Based on these features, the release instants of the circuit breaker are
adjusted for optimal targeting during controlled switching operations.
3.3.1
Parameter compensation
The Switchsync PWC600 IED has the facility to compensate for the influences of
external and internal parameters, namely, DC control voltage, idle time, temperature,
drive pressure, spring charge, and additional user-defined parameters. It uses
individual parameter compensation curves consisting of parametric variation vs.
required operating time correction. Separate curves are provided for Close and Open
operations. The individual compensation values are added up to yield a single
compensation value for each CB pole.
The library of ABB circuit breakers includes compensation curves for each CB type.
During engineering in Switchsync Setting Tool, the user only needs to specify which
sensors are connected to the IED. Accordingly, the compensation functions are
activated. It is possible to enable, disable or modify individual compensation curves
manually. Respective sensor signals are either connected to the IED directly, or can be
received from external acquisition devices (such as ABB RIO600) via IEC 61850
analog GOOSE messages.

Compensation values are continuously updated. Thus, the actual compensation value
is available at the time when a controlled switching operation is executed.
Furthermore, the sensor signals are checked against supervision thresholds, and an
alarm can be raised on crossing a limit.
3.3.2
Adaptive correction
After completion of a controlled switching operation, Switchsync PWC600 acquires
the instants when the switching actually took place. For this purpose, it analyzes the
primary analog signals (load current, load voltage) and the timing of binary signals
from auxiliary contacts in the CB drive, as available.
The actual switching instants are compared with the target instants. A fraction (Beta
factor) of the difference is used as correction value, to update the estimated CB
operating time for the next controlled switching operation. This process is known as
“adaptive correction”; its purpose is to compensate systematic changes in the circuit
breaker’s operation characteristics over time.
For controlled closing on reactive or capacitive loads, it is recommended to use load
current as feedback signal for adaptive correction of the making instants. For
controlled energization of transformers and transmission lines/power cables, it is
recommended to use load voltage (if available). Mechanical status indication from
auxiliary contacts may be used in addition to correct mechanical closing times
adaptively, or as the only feedback signal in case no suitable primary voltage and

Application

current signals are available. This presumes sufficient accuracy/consistency of the
auxiliary contacts. Separate beta factors are defined for electrical and mechanical
adaptation, their values are assigned in the pre-configuration.
For load de-energization, current interruption in most cases occurs at a natural current
zero. Thus, the actual instant of contact separation cannot be deduced from the
primary voltage and current signals. However, Switchsync PWC600 checks the
voltage and current signals for signs of re-ignitions/re-strikes. If such is detected then
an alarm is raised and the intended arcing time is automatically extended by 1 ms (not
configurable), up to a limit of default 3 ms. This is interpreted as adaptive correction
of controlled opening operations.
Extension of the target arcing time can never exceed the maximum arcing time defined
for the specific switching case.
The internal values for adaptive correction and operation logs are
periodically written to non-volatile memory to be preserved against
power loss. To maximize the life of the memory elements, the write
interval has been defined as 1 hour; this cannot be changed by the user.
Therefore, to prevent loss of data, the IED should not be powered off
within 1 hour of the last switching operation.
3.3.3
Overall optimization
For Close operations, the target instant TtC of mechanical contact touch in each phase
is internally calculated as follows.
TtC = T0 + T1 + T2 + T3 + T4
where
T0 = ideal making target
T1 = offset from ideal target, to cater for dielectric and mechanical scatter
T2 = total combined correction value from parameter compensations
T3 = total combined correction value for electrical and/or mechanical adaptation
T4 = expected pre-arcing time (time between current inception and mechanical
contact touch)
As an example, the ideal switching target of voltage zero across breaker contacts is
slightly advanced to achieve best possible performance considering dielectric and
mechanical scatter.
T1 and T4 during controlled closing operation at voltage peak target are demonstrated
in Figure 3.

Load applications
Switchsync PWC600 was designed for point-on-wave switching (also known as
controlled switching) of capacitor banks, reactors, transformers, transmission lines,
and power cables. For these load types, predefined switching strategies are
implemented. Other load types can be accommodated either by selecting a similar
predefined load type, or by specifying a user-defined controlled switching strategy.
For capacitor banks, controlled energization is used to limit charging inrush current.
Controlled de-energization can be used for ensuring re-strike free operation of the
circuit breaker.
For shunt reactors, controlled de-energization has been widely used for ensuring reignition free operation of the circuit breaker. In addition, controlled energization can
help in reducing asymmetry of charging currents in individual phases and thereby
minimize mal-operations of protection relays.
For transformers, controlled switching is used to minimize inrush currents during noload energization. Switchsync PWC600 achieves this by controlled de-energization
(to set a residual flux pattern in the core) followed by controlled energization
(optimized on the set residual flux pattern).
For transmission lines and power cables, controlled energization is used to minimize
the switching overvoltage on the line. Controlled de-energization can be used for
ensuring re-strike free operation of the circuit breaker.
Details on each application type, including predefined controlled switching strategies,
are given in the following subsections. For better understanding, all switching targets

Energization
Energization of a capacitor bank may cause high inrush currents, which in turn may
lead to voltage dips and transient overvoltages. These can be minimized by closing the
circuit breaker at instantaneous voltage zero across each breaker pole. As the capacitor
bank can be assumed discharged, the optimal energization instants are derived directly
from the source voltage signals.

De-energization
De-energization of a capacitor bank may cause re-strikes in the circuit breaker, which
may damage the interrupter. Although most modern circuit breaker types are
classified as having low or very low probability of re-strike, controlled opening can
further reduce the probability of re-strikes.
Optimal interruption instants are defined with respect to the load current in each
phase. Alternatively, they can be derived from the source voltage by adding a 90°
phase shift. Mechanical contact separation must precede interruption by several
milliseconds, to ensure that the instantaneous dielectric strength will always exceed
the TRV. This arcing time is chosen as long as possible, usually between a quarter and
half a power cycle, taking into account the properties of the circuit breaker.

adaptive correction of closing times is disabled for the last pole to
close. The reason is that the voltage across that breaker pole is close to
zero as soon as the second pole closes and hence exact determination
of the current making instant is not possible.
3.4.2.3
De-energization
During de-energization of a reactor, the TRV rises very quickly, which results in a
high probability of re-ignition. The same can be minimized by creating sufficient
dielectric strength across breaker contacts at the time of current interruption. This is
achieved by controlling the instant of mechanical contact separation to ensure arcing
times within the re-ignition free window of the circuit breaker (which is determined
during type testing) or, where such does not exist, at a point to minimize the impact of
re-ignitions. In selecting the target instants in each phase, the construction

ΦO is calculated from the ratio K, which is defined as neutral reactance divided by
phase reactance. For high values of K (K≥2), the reactor is considered ungrounded and
the respective controlled de-energization strategy is applied.
The actual value of ΦO and the selected strategy are displayed in Switchsync Setting

Target arcing times depend on several factors, as shown in Table 11. They are based
on Tamin and Tamax, which are the minimum and maximum arcing times for re-ignition
free interruption. These limit values are taken from circuit breaker data obtained
during type tests.

For reactors with 3-limb core (magnetically coupled phases), and with
load voltage selected as reference signal for re-ignition detection,
adaptive correction of opening times is not done for the first phase to

close to zero after opening and hence exact determination of the

3.4.3.2
Controlled switching strategies
During energization of power transformers, high levels of inrush currents are
observed. To mitigate the inrush it is required that the resultant fluxes generated in
individual windings of the transformer should have lowest asymmetry so that the core
would not go in saturation. This minimizes the inrush current to near no-load current.
Achieving symmetrical flux on energization requires consideration of residual fluxes
in the core, winding configurations (vector group), and design philosophies (3 limb,
4/5 limb or single-phase bank) of the transformer.
The switching strategy in this case targets at energization of individual poles on the
reference voltage waveform in such a way that the resultant dynamic fluxes will be
symmetric. The required knowledge of residual fluxes is obtained by controlled
opening as a support for the subsequent controlled closing. The purpose of controlled
opening is to set a repeatable pattern of residual fluxes. The controlled opening
strategy is to target contact parting just prior to final current zero, which will minimize
current chopping and thereby the residual fluxes. The subsequent closing for
individual poles is targeted in such a way that the resultant flux will have minimum
level of asymmetry. The predefined switching targets in absence of residual fluxes for
different transformer configurations are given in Table 13.

For a transformer with Yn primary winding and coupled phases, the
ideal making targets for L2 and L3 are 90 degrees after L1. The "odd"
values of 112 and 85 degrees were implemented to ensure inverse
phase sequence even with non-ideal circuit breakers.
Controlled switching strategies for power transformers always use fixed phase
sequence with L1 as lead phase, for both opening and closing. Winding 1 represents
the winding that is switched by the circuit breaker controlled by PWC600.
The target arcing time value for transformer de-energization is taken from circuit
breaker type data, identical in all three poles.
Figure 9 demonstrates the ideal making targets in absence of residual flux, for
controlled energization of an Yn connected transformer having at least one Δ
connected winding, from the Yn connected side. The lead phase for fixed-sequence
strategies is L1 and the targets are shown considering a single-pole operated CB.

Energization
During energization of long EHV/UHV transmission lines, switching overvoltages
are generated, in particular at the far end of the line. Controlled switching, along with
transmission line surge arresters (SA) connected at both ends of the line, can be used
to reduce the level of switching overvoltages below the switching impulse withstand
level (SIWL) of the line. In this case, the energization targets are aimed just after
positive-going zero crossings of the source side voltages in each phase, see Table 15.
However, it is advised to perform a system study on each case to ensure proper
coordination of the controlled switching system with the ratings of the surge arrestors,
so that overvoltages can be brought below SIL with sufficient margin. The targets are
the same for any configuration (uncompensated or shunt compensated) of
transmission lines and do not require load side voltage measurement.
The same energization strategy is applied to power cables, in order to minimize the
switching overvoltage.

Moreover, the same controlled energization strategy can be employed during reenergization. However, trapped charges are not taken into account. Thus, the
switching overvoltage will likely be higher than during energization of a discharged
line or cable, but lower than worst-case uncontrolled reclosing.
3.4.4.3
De-energization
De-energization of an unloaded transmission line or power cable may cause re-strikes
in the circuit breaker, which may damage the interrupter. Although most modern
circuit breaker types are classified as having low or very low probability of re-strike,
controlled opening can further reduce the probability of re-strikes. Optimal
interruption instants are defined with respect to the load current in each phase.
Alternatively, they can be derived from the source voltage by adding a 90° phase shift.

lines and power cables.

System configuration
Mitigation of switching surges highly depends on the state of the surrounding system
when a controlled switching operation is executed.
In some substation configurations, the same circuit breaker can be used to switch
different loads. For example, in a 1½ breakers diameter, the tie breaker (middle
breaker) sees a different piece of equipment connected to each terminal. If both loads
are to be switched under point-on-wave control, the controlled switching scheme
requires two Switchsync PWC600 IEDs plus a suitable selection scheme (to
determine which IED controls the switching operation under what circumstances).
For a transfer bus coupler bay, the controlled switching scheme may require multiple
Switchsync PWC600 IEDs. The number of IEDs shall be carefully assessed, based on
equipment connected to various bays of the substation. It can be further optimized by
arranging same type of equipment to be switched with a single IED. However, the
mitigation effect may be achieved only partially in this case.
For circuit breakers with pre-insertion resistors (PIR), controlled switching is
recommended only in de-energization operations as energization transients are

mitigated by the PIR. Therefore, it is recommended to wire and configure the
Switchsync PWC600 IED to only control CB opening operations in this case.

Circuit breaker monitoring
All signals acquired by the Switchsync PWC600 IED are primarily used for execution
and optimization of controlled switching operations. In addition, the same signals can
be used for monitoring and supervision of the circuit breaker’s switching performance
and its aging (due to number of operations or interrupter wear).
On receiving a switching command, the available compensation signals are evaluated
for compensation values. After issuing a switching command, the IED monitors the
input signals for status changes. The sequence of these events is evaluated to
determine actual operating times and further conditions such as re-ignitions/restrikes. All these data are recorded in the operation log.
The very first operation records (default: 20) are stored as “fingerprint records” in a
separate buffer for later reference.
Table 18 summarizes the use of external signals (if available).

(current making or current interruption) from the primary current or load voltage
signals. The strategies employed vary by the set load type.
•
•
For capacitor bank and shunt reactor type loads, it can be assumed that load
current is generally above dead-band value when energized. Hence, a
straightforward level detection is applied, assuming the CB closed whenever the
RMS current exceeds the fixed threshold. Alternately when load voltage is used,
the presence of voltage is detected.
Power transformers exhibit very low magnetizing currents when energized.
These currents are usually too low for reliable electrical operation detection.
Electrical status detection is therefore based on load voltage only, if available.
Electrical and magnetic coupling between phases can mislead the
status detection algorithm. Hence, it is recommended to connect
auxiliary contacts to the IED to allow mechanical status detection
especially when load voltage is not used to detect the electrical
operations.
•
For transmission lines and cables, the charging current depends on the length and
other parameters. Therefore, Switchsync PWC600 specially analyzes the first ten
controlled switching operations, to determine whether the charging current is
above dead-band value. If yes, the same level detection as for a capacitor bank is
applied. If not, then electrical operations monitoring is not performed and timing
values are shown as zero. In this case, it is recommended to use load voltage as
reference signal for electrical operation detection.
During the first ten controlled switching operations, the operation
mode (in operation log) is displayed as “N/A”.

•
For user-defined loads, the algorithm determines whether the load type is fixed
(for example, Capacitor bank and Reactor) during the first ten switching
operations. If yes then electrical status is also evaluated based on load current. If
not then load voltage must be used, or electrical status detection is not possible.
•
In case of electrical or magnetic coupling of the phases in the load, with load
voltage being used for electrical operation detection, special filtering algorithms
are employed to detect the current making and current interruption instants in
each phase.
In case of a weak source, switching operations may cause voltage
interference between phases for loads that are not solidly grounded.
Therefore it is recommended to use current as feedback signal.
For most load types (excluding transmission line or cable or power transformer),
electrical status detection (conducting or isolating) is also performed based on load
current. If load voltage is set as reference signal, electrical status detection is always
performed based on these signals. The results can be used for displaying CB status or
for idle time compensation.
3.5.1.2
Calculation of interrupter wear
In new condition, a circuit breaker is rated for a certain number of mechanical
operations, that is, interrupting no or very low currents. It is also rated for a certain
(low) number of operations interrupting maximum fault current. Between these
extremes, the interrupted current in every Open operation causes some erosion of the
contacts and ablation of the nozzles, until the CB loses its ability to reliably switch off
currents. This interrupter wear characteristic is often given in form of a curve.

Example of interrupter wear characteristic of a circuit breaker rated
for 10000 mechanical operations (interrupting currents up to 3500 A)
or 20 interruptions of 63 kA fault current
Switchsync PWC600 calculates interrupter wear as the equivalent number of
mechanical operations that the circuit breaker has lost after interrupting a specific
current. The algorithm for calculation of interrupter wear is explained in the Technical
Manual.
It is recommended to contact ABB for obtaining the optimal
coefficients for interrupter wear of any circuit breaker type that is not
included in the CB library of SST.

Mechanical operations monitoring
Following every switching operation, certain parameters are calculated from recorded
instants of auxiliary contacts' changeover. They are summarized in Table 20,
assuming both contact types (NO/52a and NC/52b) are connected to the Switchsync
PWC600 IED. Close and Open commands refer to the control signals given to the
circuit breaker drive.

Station bus and process bus communication runs on the communication module via
the optical interfaces (LC Ethernet connectors) on the rear panel. If both are used, the
process bus shall run as a separate network from the station bus to prevent interference
of control data with the sampled values stream.
Rear communication via the X8/EIA-485/IRIG-B connector uses a communication
module with the galvanic EIA-485 serial connection.
The HMI connector X0 and the serial interface X9 are not used in Switchsync
PWC600.

Ethernet RJ-45 front connection
The IED's LHMI is provided with an RJ-45 connector designed for point-to-point use.
This interface is intended for configuration and setting purposes. The interface on the
PC has to be configured in a way that it obtains the IP address automatically if the
DHCP server is enabled in LHMI. The DHCP server inside the IED can be activated
for the front interface only.
Usually this port is used only for temporary connection, thus no permanent wiring is
required. Events, setting values and all input data such as operation records and
waveform records can be read via the front communication port.
Only one of the possible clients can be used for parametrization at a time.

Process bus rear connection
Switchsync PWC600 can receive digital sampled values (voltage and/or current) via
IEC 61850-9-2(LE) on its X3/LAN2 A interface. Up to four logical merging units can
be connected, which are distinguished by their sampled values ID (svID). The
specifications of X3 are identical to X1 and X2.
Hardware synchronization of the sampled values is achieved by a 1PPS signal
received on optical input X10. Time synchronization via SNTP or IRIG-B cannot be
used for this purpose.
If the 9-2 process values to Switchsync PWC600 originate from two
or more separate physical merging units, they should be synchronized
to the same master. Otherwise, occasional communication
interruptions may occur.

Building a plant structure
The plant structure is used to identify each IED in its location within the substation
organization. It is a structural image of the substation and the bays within the
substation. The organization structure for the IEDs may differ from the structure of the
primary equipment in the substation. In PCM600 it is possible to set up a hierarchical
structure of five levels for the IED identification.
Build up the plant structure according to the project requirements. PCM600 offers
several levels to build the hierarchical order down to the IEDs in a bay.
Five levels are available.

IEC 61850 naming conventions to identify an IED
This section is only applicable when the IEC 61850 standard is used for station bus
communication. According to IEC 61850-6 clause 8.4, the SCL model allows two
kinds of project designation in the object properties.
•
•
A technical key is used on engineering drawings and for signal identifications.
The technical key is used within SCL for referencing other objects. Observe that
name is a relative identification within a hierarchy of objects.
A user oriented textual designation is contained in attribute desc. Attributes are
not allowed to contain carriage return, line feed or tab characters. The semantics
of desc shall also be relative within an object hierarchy.
PCM600 takes care of these two possibilities. The two possible signal designations are
available per object in the object properties for all hierarchical levels beginning with
the station as the highest level. The IED’s object property Caption is copied to the desc
attribute in the SCL file, the technical key to the name attribute.
Switchsync™ PWC600
User manual
69
Section 6
Setting up a project
1MRK 511 346 C
The technical key is automatically generated based on the rules and type
specifications of IEC 81346 and the extended definitions done for substations by a
technical committee. The technical key is shown in the Object Properties under SCL
Technical Key and Technical Key.
•
•
•
•
The station level is predefined by "AA1", where 1 is the index.
The voltage level is predefined by "J1", where 1 is the index.
The bay level is predefined by "Q01", where 01 is the index.
The IED is predefined by "A1", where 1 is the index.
The predefined full path name of the technical key for the first IED would be
AA1J1Q01A1.
For all practical engineering purposes (both towards the IED and towards the 61850
engineering process), the user should keep the default SCL technical key. It is
however possible, due to for example company naming policies, to rename the SCL
technical key for the station level, voltage level, bay level and IED level using the
Object properties window as shown in Figure 23.

The station level has been renamed as "DMSTAT"
The voltage level has been renamed as "C1"

from the physical IED. This is useful when an order specific IED is used.
The order configuration is written to the IED at the factory and can be
accessed by PCM600. The housing type, the used overlay version for local
HMI and the IO boards included in the IED will be read from the IED
directly.

The communication media is always Ethernet and the used protocol is TCP/IP.
Each IED has an RJ-45 Ethernet interface connector on the front. The front Ethernet
connector can be used for communication with PCM600.
When an Ethernet-based station protocol is used, PCM600 communication can use
the same Ethernet port and IP address.
To connect PCM600 to the IED, two basic variants must be considered.

must be the same, otherwise it is not possible to download a configuration. Each IED
in a PCM600 project must have a unique technical key. It is therefor not possible to set
the same technical key for several IEDs in the same PCM600 project.
The technical key property in PCM600 corresponds to the IED name
attribute in SCL files. Avoid changing the IED name attribute outside
PCM600, because data in PCM600 might be lost when importing SCL
files.
The IED technical key and the PCM600 technical key must be the
same for successful communication between the IED and PCM600.
When using PCM600 for writing to the IED, it is important that the
LHMI or WHMI is not in a menu position where settings can be

PCM600, is allowed at any one time.
When writing a configuration to the IED, PCM600 checks for matching technical keys
in the PCM600 IED object and in the physical IED. For communication between the
IED and PCM600 the technical key must be the same. Users have the option to read
the technical key from the IED and update it to PCM600 or write the PCM600
technical key to the IED. The user can also define an own technical key. The error
message displayed due to mismatch between PCM600 and IED technical key is
shown in Figure 36.

Application engineering
Switchsync PWC600 comes with a default pre-configuration that covers most
controlled switching applications. All necessary adjustments to the actual installation
are done by settings. These settings can be entered and modified by a dedicated
PCM600 tool, Switchsync Setting Tool.
If necessary, the application configuration can be viewed and
modified using other tools in PCM600.

Using Switchsync Setting Tool
7.2.1
General functions
Switchsync Setting Tool, SST, works with a pre-configuration of Switchsync
PWC600 product. Switchsync PWC600 is delivered with a default configuration
loaded. However, in most cases, the configuration settings and parameters do not
match the actual application. SST guides the user through the selection of network
parameters, type and properties of circuit breaker, switched load, etc. The aim is to
consolidate all the relevant settings for clarity and ensure that no important settings are
overlooked. Completed or partial configurations can be loaded or saved to/from file,
duplicated and modified for use in another IED.
The wizard guides the user through each setting. The setting depends on the type of
application, model of Switchsync PWC600, breaker data. It also depends on choices
during previous steps.
If the information required is not available at the moment, save the partial
configuration and exit the wizard. Continue and finish the setup process later. The
wizard completes the final step by saving the configuration.

SST is an offline tool. The parameters are stored in the data server of PCM600 after
saving the complete configuration. Parameters can be written to IED using Parameter
Setting Tool or Common Write tool.
The application setup wizard stores all the user inputs together with the resulting data.

Modifying the pre-configuration may cause loss of functionality, in
particular with respect to Switchsync Setting Tool.
However, if changes are wanted, the given information must be observed.
Proper functioning of Switchsync PWC600 and associated tools requires specific
interaction between certain function blocks. To ensure integrity of these essential
connections, some of the pages in Application Configuration are locked.
Do not make any modifications to the locked pages in Application
Configuration without approval from ABB.
Switchsync PWC600 configuration in PCM600 Graphical Display Editor (GDE) has
three pages by default. These pages are specifically designed for CB Test mode user
interface and do not appear in the usual location (Control/Single line diagram) of the
LHMI menu.
The three default GDE pages must not be changed, removed or
rearranged.

Function blocks with disconnected outputs are not executing and
hence may show improper values on the outputs.
7.4.3.4
Signals and signal management
Every function block has a set of input and output signals.
A function block can contain more signals than needed in that application part. A
signal that is not used in a particular application can be hidden in the function block
view in Application Configuration. It is not necessary to connect all inputs and outputs
at a function block. If not connected, the signals always have a default value. The
default value can be seen when moving the pointer over the signal.
Signals are located on both sides of the middle position up and down. When there is
space left, move some signals up or down for a better visibility and connection routing.
Boolean input and output signals may need to be inverted to fulfill the logic.
Application Configuration supports adding the inversion logic to a binary signal.
The input signal on glue logic function blocks can only be inverted if
a glue logic function block with a lower execution order in the same
cycle time is available. Correspondingly, the output signal can only be
inverted if a glue logic function block with a higher execution order in
the same cycle time is available. Up to two input signals and two
output signals can be inverted for glue logic blocks in the same cycle
time.
Even though current is injected to the IED and the IED is connected to
PCM600 in online mode, the signal value of TRM and Merging Unit
channels in Application Configuration is probably shown as zero.
All signals which are not mandatory, have a default value that is used when not
connected.
7.4.3.5
Adding user-defined names
Some function blocks in the IED support assigning names to generic signals, for
example, the input signals of LED, event and disturbance handling block (BxRBDR
and AxRADR) and alarm handling function block (MONEVG).

7.4.3.6
Function block execution parameters
Three function block execution parameters have influence on the runtime execution
of the function block within the application configuration.
•
•
•
Execution order
Cycle time
Instance number
Each time a new function block is selected these parameters have to be selected. In
fixed mode user selects parameters from the drop down lists in ACT. In automatic
mode best suitable instance is selected automatically. Depending on the function
block type not all three parameters are selectable. The cycle time may be predefined
to one value. The instance number is a counter for the total possible number of
function blocks of that type used within an application configuration.
The Execution Order and Instance Number are a combination that is predefined
within a product. It is possible to select a pair out of the list. Figure 64 shows an
example how the drop down list could look like.

Connections and variables
A connection is the link or "wire" between function block outputs and inputs.
Connections can be created by dragging a line between two signals or by linking two
signals using variables.
It is possible to search and replace variable names in Application
Configuration.
The signals used in the pre-configuration already have variable names assigned. If
signals that are part of a locked worksheet need to be modified, the worksheet first
needs to be unlocked. An existing connection is removed by clicking the line and then
pressing Delete.
Connection validation
A connection is only useful and possible between two signals of the same data type.
Attempting to connect two incompatible signals generates an error message.

The 15 LEDs on the right side of the LCD can indicate in total 45 alarms,
warnings or other signals to the operator. They are organized in three groups 1 to
3.
LEDs in Group 1, except LED 10, are used in the pre-configuration for specific
functions. LEDs in Groups 2 and 3 are not used.
Each signal group belongs to one function block.
Each LED illuminates in one of the three colors: RED, YELLOW or GREEN.
The organization of flashing, acknowledgment and group selection is done
directly between the function blocks and the basic LHMI keys, the 'Multifunction'
key to toggle between the three groups or the 'Clear' key to acknowledge or reset
the LEDs.
Only the programming of the signals is needed for the LEDs.
The operation mode of the LEDs is defined in the Parameter Setting tool.

Every function key has an own FNKEYMD function block.
The five function keys on the left side of the LCD [B] can be used to process
demands.
The function block handles the signal for the LED included in the key as input
signals.
The LED signal of the key is independent of the key function and must be
programed to process demands.
The function block handles the operators command when the key is pressed as
output signal.
The functions are activated whenever a key is pressed the first time. The
corresponding text elements, which are configured using the Label setting, for the
five keys appear on the left side of the LCD. No execution of the function is done.
So the first push is used to activate the presentation only.
The next key push is handled as activate function and the output signal of the
function block is set.
The operation mode of the function key is defined in the Parameter Setting tool
(pulse, toggle).
Function key 1 is already a part of the pre-configuration.

Several single line diagrams can be created for one bay.
The IED supports one bay.
The sequence order of the HMI pages in the Graphical Display Editor starts from
left to right.
Measurements and the single line diagram can be shown on the page in any
possible order and placement.
All symbol objects, for example apparatus, text and measurement, on the HMI
page must be linked to the correct function block in the application configuration
in order to present the correct process values.
Symbol library
The symbol library window contains some panes that include drawing symbols or
elements to create a single line diagram, measurements and texts on a page. Click on
the name bar of the selected element to open the pane.
The library shows the symbols either in ANSI standard or in IEC standard. The
standard is selected by the drop down list box located on top of the display window.
Switchsync PWC600 does not support ANSI symbols. Only IEC
symbols are displayed on the LHMI.
Select the different panes and their symbols to become familiar with the available
symbols.
Measurements (Measurands) are presented in one format that explains itself when
selected. Select the format and drop it in the drawing area. Use the object properties
to make adaptations.
Special symbols for dynamic text
In the text pane the symbol library contains a set of special symbols to present text that
depends on the status of variables. A set of three symbols is valid to present a double
point information. The corresponding function block in ACT is VSGGIO.

Figure 85:
Function block for current and voltage signal configuration
The signals configured in the function blocks, BxRBDR and
AxRADR, appear in the waveform record.
If logical function blocks, for example, OR or AND, are used in the
configuration to create a combination signal for event generation, it is
recommended to select the function with an execution order lower
than the BxRBDR and higher than the function blocks that generate
the original event signals.
The user-defined name assigned to each input signal in the function block, for
example, MULodVolTstMd for INPUT96 in Figure 84, is the event label which
appears in the LHMI, WHMI and PCM600 Event Viewer tool. User-defined name
assigned to the input in the AxRADR function block appears as the signal name in the
waveform record.
The input signals connected to BxRBDR can be configured to trigger a waveform
(TrigDR = “On”), to switch on the Start or Trip LED on the LHMI (SetLED selection)
and to assign the signal to be a part of snapshot event associated with a waveform
record (IndicationMa). Additionally, the triggering of the event can be configured for
“0” to “1” or “1” to “0” transition of the connected input signal (TrigLevel).
Figure 86 and Figure 87 show the view in the Parameter Setting tool for the 81st input
of the B6RBDR function and the step to display the parameter list. All parameters
related to this input are suffixed with the number 81.

Modification of operation log input
The default pre-configuration has all the possible signals connected for storing data
into the operation log. This functionality does not support enabling or disabling the
storing using a parameter in the function block. It needs to be manually removed. If the
signals are not supported in the site-specific configuration (for example, temperature
is not available as an input from field), the operation log always shows value zero. For
storing a three-phase value (for example, temperature for phase L1, L2 and L3), the
signals from each phase must be connected to the corresponding function blocks

The product supports configuration of two additional analog signals for
compensation. These analog signal values can be stored in the operation log. INPUT7
and INPUT8 of the function block are used for this purpose. It is recommended to
assign a meaningful name to these input signals according to the field input signals
connected. The number of characters supported for the user-defined signal names is
13.
7.4.9
Modification of binary inputs and outputs
Most binary inputs on PIO and BIO modules are required for various pre-configured
IED functions. If certain functions are not used in a specific installation, the respective
inputs can be used for other purposes. For example, if no level indication signals are
available for the CB drive’s energy storage, BI4…BI9 on BIO_4 can be used for other
purposes; or correspondingly PBI1 on PIO_3, if not used for resetting the LEDs. The
IED includes two spare binary inputs, which are not used in the pre-configuration.
The binary outputs on the PIO modules are reserved for controlling circuit breaker
operations. Some binary outputs on the BIO and PSM modules are pre-configured for
signaling. The BIO and PSM modules further include three and six binary outputs
respectively designed for operating circuit breakers or other switches that are not used
in the pre-configuration. They can be connected for signaling purposes if required,
even though these contacts have higher current carrying capacity.

At delivery, logging on is not required and the user has full access until users and
passwords are created with PCM600 and written into the IED.
Commands, changing parameter values and resetting indications, for example, are
actions requiring password when the password protection is activated. Reading
information on the LHMI is always allowed without password.
Utility security policies and practical consideration should always be
taken on the feasibility of using passwords. In emergency situations,
the use of passwords could delay urgent actions. On the other hand
when security issues must be met, the two factors must be seriously
considered.
Do not switch off the auxiliary power supply to the IED before
changes, for example, setting parameter or local/remote control state
changes are saved.
A mechanism for limiting the number of writings per time period is included in the
IED to prevent the flash memory to be worn out due to too many writings. As a
consequence it may take up to an hour to save changes. If the auxiliary power is
interrupted before a change is saved, that change is lost.

Operation records
Every switching command received at the command inputs of Switchsync PWC600
triggers an operation record. Each record is stamped with the date, time and the type
of operation request (Close or Open). This information is displayed in the WHMI
Operation records view, in the record list on the left, and it is used to identify the
individual operation records.
The same list also includes the record-specific information on electrical target errors
in each phase. This value is defined as the deviation of the actual (detected) instant of
current making or current interruption from the target instant. Color highlighting is
used in the record list to indicate controlled switching operation status.
Table 38:
Color highlighting of operation records
Background color
Explanation
Normal (alternating white and light gray)
Successful controlled switching operation
Red
Controlled switching operation where electrical target
error is above the limit in one or more phases.
The time stamp of an operation record is the same as the trigger time
of the associated waveform record.
Any operation record in the list can be selected by clicking the respective table row.
The selected record is highlighted bold. At the same time, all recorded data from that
operation are brought up in the right frame of the view.
The top header of the right frame repeats the record identification data. In addition, it
specifies the operation mode, which is an assessment of the switching operation. The
operation modes are defined by the software and cannot be changed by the user.
The numeric code of the operation mode is stored in the CSV file
exported from Trend views.
All data stored in relation to the respective switching operation are listed in tabular
form below the header. Most data are stored and displayed per phase. Data not
applying to a specific phase are listed in the L1 column.
Certain data, in particular current making angles, are relevant only for
Close operations and thus the values are always zero for Open
operations. Other data such as arcing times pertain only to Open
operations and are always zero for Close operations.

Waveform records
Every switching command received at the command inputs of Switchsync PWC600
triggers the disturbance recorder. It records the sampled voltage and current traces as
well as selected binary signals before and after the trigger event. Only those binary
channels which have been 1 at any time during the recording period are included.
For controlled switching, switching events are usually not triggered by a system
disturbance. Thus, within the context of Switchsync PWC600, disturbance records are
called waveform records in most places.
By default, Switchsync PWC600 stores waveform records of the latest 100
operations, overwriting the oldest one with the latest one. The waveform records are
stored in COMTRADE format, comprising three files with the same name but
different extensions (.dat, .cfg and .hdr). These can be viewed online or opened and
analyzed by tools such as WaveWin, which is included in the PCM600 installation
package. For easy transfer between devices, all files comprising one waveform record
are packed into a ZIP file.

Engineering section, if not done previously.
Checking CT circuits
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure that the wiring is in strict accordance with the supplied connection
diagram.
Perform a primary injection test to verify the current ratio of the CT, the correct
wiring up to the Switchsync PWC600 IED and correct phase sequence
connection (L1-L2-L3 or L1-L3-L2).
Measure CT secondary loop resistance to confirm that the current transformer
secondary loop DC resistance is within specification and that there are no high
resistance joints in the CT winding or wiring.
Check the earthing of the individual CT secondary circuits to verify that each
three-phase set of main CTs is properly connected to the station earth and only at
one electrical point.
Check the insulation resistance.
CT and VT connectors on the IED are pre-coded, and the CT and VT
connector markings are different. For more information, see the

The primary injection test verifies the VT ratio and the wiring all the way from the
primary system to the IED. Injection must be performed for each phase-to-neutral
circuit and each phase-to-phase pair. In each case, voltages in all phases and neutral
are measured.

Circuit breaker operating times
For accurate controlled switching, Switchsync PWC600 needs to know the
mechanical operating times of the controlled circuit breaker, that is, from switching
command to primary contact touch/separation. By default, it takes these from the type
data of the CB model selected in SST. However, if possible more accurate data of each

Circuit breaker timing test mode
Circuit breaker test mode is a user interface for the commissioning engineer, which
automatically acquires the operating times of the main contacts and auxiliary contacts
(optionally). It is, however, not recommended in already live substations, where
electromagnetic fields may interfere with the measurements.
For mechanical switching operations, Switchsync PWC600 is inserted into the circuit
breaker control circuits. During each controlled operation it automatically measures
the mechanical closing and opening times of each circuit breaker pole. By default, five
close or open operations are performed, depending on which control signals are
connected to Switchsync PWC600. After each operation, the results are presented to
the operator to accept or reject them. When sufficient number of accepted results are
available, they are averaged for each pole and made available internally for use in
subsequent controlled switching operations.
In addition to primary contacts, the timing of auxiliary contacts - preferably one at the
start and one at the end of the motion - can be acquired and used for monitoring the
circuit breaker operations.
When the IED is installed for the first time, the operating times of the contacts follow
the default set value in CBLEARN, which is the application function in the preconfiguration. These values can be modified through SST (Switchsync Setting tool)
in PCM600.

The suitable operating procedures to be adopted depend on the application and type of
operation.
During live commissioning, the success of every controlled switching operation shall
be assessed based on data from operation records and waveform records. Both types
of data are most easily accessed through the Web interface (WHMI). Operation
records can also be viewed on the LHMI. Waveform records can be downloaded from
WHMI or through PCM600 and viewed in WaveWin or a similar COMTRADE
viewing tool on the PC.

Perform a controlled closing operation, and confirm that low inrush peak is
observed in individual phase currents.
Target errors (that is, deviation of actual switching instants from target instants)
shown in the operation record should not exceed one millisecond.
If so configured, perform a controlled opening operation and confirm that no restrike has been detected.
Again, target errors should not exceed one millisecond.
Perform at least three further switching operations and validate consistency in
controlled switching performance.
Ensure that the reactor is de-energized by the CB controlled by Switchsync
PWC600.
For example, during controlled de-energization of a reactor by the tie breaker in
a 1½-breakers-scheme, the main circuit breaker shall be open. If required,
provide essential interlocking.
If so configured, perform a controlled closing operation, and confirm that a low
amount of asymmetry is observed in individual phase currents.
Target errors (that is, deviation of actual switching instants from target instants)
shown in the operation record should not exceed one millisecond.
Perform a controlled opening operation and confirm that no re-ignition has been

If the operating times of auxiliary contacts are consistent, showing
opening and closing time variations in the specified range, enable adaptive
correction of mechanical operating times (SST: Adaptive Correction
milestone).
Otherwise disable this feature until the inrush currents have been reduced
to acceptable levels. Adaptive correction of electrical operating times shall
always be enabled.

Perform a controlled closing operation using the preset controlled switching
strategy (SST).
The result of this first energization is not relevant as the residual flux in the
transformer is unknown.
Perform a controlled opening operation, and check that target errors shown in the
operation record do not exceed one millisecond in each phase.
Perform another controlled closing operation.
Evaluate the inrush current peaks both in positive and negative cycles for
individual phases. Target errors (that is, deviation of actual switching instants
from target instants) shown in the operation record should not exceed one
millisecond. If the current peak levels are within acceptable limits skip the next
step.
To further reduce inrush currents, apply a user-defined controlled closing
strategy.
Adjust the energization targets for individual phases manually, based on relative
current peaks for individual phases with respect to full load current of the
transformer, taking into account core design and connection configuration.
Perform a controlled opening operation, followed by another controlled closing
operation, and check the inrush peaks.
If inrush is found to be within limits, perform further three operations to check
consistency in mitigation effect.
If adaptive correction of mechanical operating times has been disabled at the
commencement of live switching, it should be re-enabled as soon as satisfactory
controlled switching performance has been achieved.
10.8.4
Transmission line or power cable
In case of transmission lines, it is advised to bypass the overvoltage protection or set
it to a higher level during commissioning, until the desired overvoltage mitigation has
been ascertained.
Ensure that the remote end breaker is open during the live switching
tests of the line from the end with Switchsync PWC600.
For validating performance in discharged condition of the transmission line, ensure
that the line has been de-energized for more than 60 seconds, so that any trapped
charge has decayed to insignificant levels prior to energization.

Target errors (that is, deviation of actual switching instants from target instants)
shown in the operation record should not exceed one millisecond.
If so configured, perform a controlled opening operation and confirm that no restrike has been detected.
Target errors shown in the operation record should not exceed one millisecond.
Perform at least three further switching operations and validate consistency in
controlled switching performance.
For controlled energization of lines in presence of trapped charges, the line shall be reenergized through an autoreclosing relay with the remote-end breaker open
(possibility of highest level of TOV). For this, the controlled energization should be
preceded by de-energization of the line.
It is recommended to measure the voltage signals at both the local and the receiving
end of the line, as the overvoltage is highest at the open remote end of the line due to
travelling wave phenomena.

Checking IED operation
Check all connections to external circuitry to ensure correct installation, before
energizing the IED and carrying out the commissioning procedures.
Energize the power supply of the IED to start it up. This could be done in a number of
ways, from energizing a whole cubicle to energizing a single IED.
Set the IED's system time in Main menu/Configuration/Time, if no time
synchronization source is configured.
Check the self-supervision function in Main menu/Diagnostics/Internal events or
Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General menu in local HMI to verify that the
IED is functioning properly.
11.1.2
IED start-up sequence
The following sequence is expected when the IED is energized.
•
•
•
Within a few seconds, the green Ready LED starts flashing and the ABB logo is
shown on the LCD.
After approximately 30 seconds, "Starting" is shown on the LCD.
Within 90 seconds, the main menu is shown on the LCD and the green Ready
LED shows a steady light, which indicates a successful startup.
If the green Ready LED continues to flash after startup, the IED has detected an
internal error. Navigate via Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General to
investigate the error description.

predicted; mechanical close target error is defined as
the difference between actual (measured)
mechanical closing time and predicted mechanical
closing time. The warning is generated whenever this
error exceeds the configured limit.
For every open operation, mechanical opening time is
predicted based on the primary contact operating
time input and mean arcing time setting (mean arcing
time is the average of latest and earliest opening
times); mechanical open target error is defined as the
difference between actual (measured) mechanical
opening time and predicted mechanical opening time.
The alarm is generated whenever this error exceeds
the configured limit.
For every close operation, mechanical closing time is
predicted; mechanical close target error is defined as
the difference between actual (measured)

The operating times of two consecutive controlled
switching operations of the same type (close or open)
twice in a row or different type (C-O or O-C) deviate by
more than ±10% in any of these sequences as
mentioned in the example (underlined operations
have deviations): C-C, O-O, C-O, C-O-C, O-C, O-CO. The CB is declared unstable and all further
commands are either bypassed or blocked according
to the contingency mode setting. May occur after
setting or learning different CB operating times.
In the last controlled Open operation, re-strike or reignition has been detected in one or more phases.
Note: Re-ignition is defined as current flowing for
minimum 2.25 ms after the target zero crossing.

flag in the datastream.
Indicates when the sample sequence needs to be
realigned, that is, the application needs to be
restarted soon. The signal is raised for 2 seconds
before the application is restarted.
In CB timing test mode, pole discrepancy trip is issued
if a command is not completely executed (if correct
status feedback is not received for all three breaker
poles). During normal operation, pole discrepancy trip
is issued only for internal errors.
Source voltage is lost (when the circuit breaker is
open) or current reference was set for open operation
and both current and voltage reference are lost. Note:
If the circuit breaker is closed and the reference is set
for current for open operations and the current signal
to the IED is not being received; this alarm may not be
raised if the source voltage is still available.
The IED counts the mechanical operations of the
circuit breaker; whenever this count exceeds the set
value for alarm, operation count alarm is generated.
Note: a close followed by an open operation is
counted as one operation.
Circuit breaker contacts are monitored for electrical
wear (ablation). Whenever the accumulated contact
wear exceeds the configured limit, this alarm is
generated.
Circuit breaker's opening velocity is monitored
against the set thresholds; when the velocity crosses
the alarm level set in configured directions, this alarm

calculated velocity (distance divided by time)
between NO/52a auxiliary contact opening and
NC/52b contact closing.
Circuit breaker's closing velocity is monitored against
the set thresholds; when the velocity crosses the

within the configured time; this alarm is generated.
The circuit breaker has been operated without point
on wave control - either because of set operation on
ByPassMode or because of ContingencyMode set to
bypass with contingency conditions arrving for a
particular operation. Note: contingency conditions
include reference missing and circuit breaker
unstable.
Indicates that further extension of target arcing time is
not possible to avoid re-strikes or re-ignitions.
Controller delay is calculated as the time between
command received till the time the command for the
last pole to be operated is released by the controller.
When this time exceeds the set time limit, this alarm is
generated.
Indicates that more than one sample has been lost or
marked as invalid, over-flown or failed, and the
sample has thereafter been substituted.

Internal faults
When the Ready LED indicates an internal fault by flashing, the message associated
with the fault is found in the internal event list in the LHMI menu Main menu/
Diagnostics/Internal events. The message includes the date, time, description and
signal state for the fault. The internal event list is not updated dynamically. The list is
updated by leaving the Internal events menu and then selecting it again. The current
status of the internal fault signals can also be checked via the LHMI in Main menu/
Diagnostics/IED status/General.
Different actions are taken depending on the severity of the fault. If the fault is found
to be permanent, the IED stays in internal fault mode. The IED continues to perform
internal tests during the fault situation.
When a fault appears, contact ABB. Make sure to include the fault indication status
data and internal event listings in the request.

With PCM600, right-click the product and select Signal Monitoring. Then
navigate to the actual I/O board and to the binary input in question. The
activated input signal is indicated with a yellow-lit diode.
Measure output contacts using the voltage drop method (see Figure 180) applying
at least the minimum contact load given for the output relays in the technical data,
for example 100 mA at 24 V AC/DC.
Output relays, especially power output relays, are designed for
breaking high currents. Due to this, layers of high resistance may
appear on the surface of the contacts. Do not determine proper
functionality of connectivity or contact resistance by measuring
with a regular hand-held ohm meter.
•
Measure output circuits of precision binary outputs using the voltage drop
method (see Figure 180).
The load should be dimensioned to draw continuous current of 100 mA DC or
less.
Precision binary outputs are polarity-sensitive. Observe correct
polarity of the test circuit. AC supply cannot be used for testing
the precision binary inputs or outputs.

Set the parameter TestMode to Off after completing these
tests. The Start LED stops flashing when the IED is no
longer in test mode.
For relay contact outputs (on BIO and PSM cards), an initially high contact resistance
does not cause problems as it is reduced quickly by the electrical cleaning effect of
fritting and thermal destruction of layers, bringing the contact resistance back to the
milliohms range. As a result, practically the full voltage is available at the load.

Physical interfaces
To reduce exposure for cyber-attacks and thus comply with cyber security
requirements, it must be possible to prevent services in the IED from operating on
other physical interfaces than the ones specified by the vendor or by the owner.
14.2
IP ports
The IP port security guideline cannot suggest concrete products for a secure system
setup. This must be decided within the specific project, requirements and existing
infrastructure. The required external equipment can be separate devices or devices
that combine firewall, router and secure VPN functionality.
To aid in setting up an IP firewall the following table summarizes the IP ports used in
Switchsync PWC600. The ports are listed in ascending order. The column “Default
state” defines whether a port is open or closed by default. All ports that are closed can
be opened as described in the comment column in the table. Front and Rear refer to the
physical front and rear port. The protocol availability on these ports is configurable.
ABB recommends using common security measures, like firewalls, up-to-date antivirus software, etc. to protect the IED and the equipment around it.

The IEC 61850 communication protocol is enabled by configuration. This means that
the IP port is closed and unavailable if the configuration of Switchsync PWC600 does
not contain IEC 61850 communication functions. If a protocol is configured, the
corresponding IP port is open all the time.
There are some restrictions and dependencies:
•
•
•
The IP port used for DHCP (default UDP port 67) between the IED and a
computer is fixed and cannot be changed.
The IP port used for IEC 61850 (default TCP port 102) is fixed and cannot be
changed.
The IP port used for FTP (default TCP port 21) can be changed in the IED if
needed by a 3rd party FTP client.
If the FTP port is changed PCM600 cannot be used since it is not
possible to configure it to use other IP-ports than port 21 for FTP.
•
•
•
Two ports are used by PCM600. For configuration and parameter settings, the IP
port for a proprietary ODBC protocol is used (TCP port 2102) and the port is fixed
and cannot be changed. For Field service tool, the IP port for a proprietary SPA
protocol is used (TCP port 7001) and the port is fixed and cannot be changed.
IP routing is not possible via any of the physical interfaces.
Some IP ports are not possible to use in all physical interfaces.

14.3
FTP access with SSL FTPACCS
The FTP Client defaults to the best possible security mode when trying to negotiate
with SSL.
The automatic negotiation mode acts on port number and server features. It tries to
immediately activate implicit SSL if the specified port is 990. If the specified port is
any other, it tries to negotiate with explicit SSL via AUTH SSL/TLS.
Using FTP without SSL encryption gives the FTP client reduced capabilities. This
mode is only for accessing disturbance recorder data from the IED.
If normal FTP is required to read out disturbance recordings, create a
specific account for this purpose with rights only to do File transfer.
The password of this user will be exposed in clear text on the wire.
14.4
Encryption algorithms
SSL/TLS connections are encrypted with AES 256 if possible or AES 128 as a
minimum. At startup a negotiation decides between these two options.
No passwords are stored in clear text within the IED. An encrypted representation of
the passwords with SHA 256 is stored in the IED. These are not accessible from
outside via any ports.
14.5
Denial of service
The denial of service function is designed to limit the CPU load that can be produced
by the Ethernet network traffic on the IED. The communication facilities must not be
allowed to compromise the primary functionality of the device. All inbound network
traffic is quota controlled, so that a too heavy network load can be controlled. Heavy
network load might for instance be the result of malfunctioning equipment connected
to the network.
The denial of service functions DOSFRNT, DOSLAN1 measure the IED load from
communication and, if necessary, limits it from jeopardizing the IED's point-on-wave
control functionality due to a high CPU load. The function has the following outputs:
•
•
•
LINKUP indicates the Ethernet link status
WARNING indicates that the data rate is higher than 3000 frames/s
ALARM indicates that the IED limits the IP-communication

Certificate handling
A self-signed certificate is issued by the IED it certifies. Certificates use encryption to
provide secure communication over the network. Certificate encryption strength
depends on the certificate authority (CA).
The certificate is always trusted during communication between the IED and
PCM600.
If Windows is configured to use UAC High the certificate has to be manually trusted
in a dialog box.

IED users can be created, deleted and edited only with the IED Users tool within
PCM600. Logging on or off can only be done on the local HMI on the IED, there are
no users, roles or rights that can be defined on local HMI.
At delivery, the IED has a default user defined with full access rights. PCM600 uses
this default user to access the IED. This user is automatically removed in IED when
users are defined via the IED Users tool in PCM600.

Requirements for external equipment

Section 16
Requirements for external equipment
16.1
Circuit breaker
To achieve good controlled switching results, the controlled circuit breaker must
exhibit stable and predictable switching behavior. The recommended circuit breaker
properties are summarized in Table 56.
Table 56:
Requirements for circuit breaker in controlled switching
Property
Closing
Opening
Mechanical scatter (all
conditions nominal) not above
±1 ms
±1 ms
RDDS not below
1 pu1)
(n/a)
Compensation curves
Well defined
Well defined
1) RDDS = 1 pu means that the RDDS is equal to the steepness of the nominal system voltage sine wave
at zero crossing. For example, for a 100 kV (phase-phase RMS voltage) 50 Hz system, this value is
25.7 kV/ms.
The definitions of these properties, together with further requirements for circuit
breakers applied to controlled switching, are given in IEC-TR 62271-302.
If auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker are used for adaptive correction or operation
monitoring in the IED, their accuracy in replicating main contact timing should be in
the range of ±0.3 ms. The time difference between switching of main and auxiliary
contacts should be adjusted so that the auxiliary contacts change over on the linear part
of the main contact’s travel curve.
16.2
Current transformers
The current transformer ratio is selected based on the power system data, for example,
maximum load. Optimal accuracy of controlled switching operations can be achieved
when the phase displacement does not exceed ±1 electrical degree at nominal current.
For controlled switching of capacitor banks or shunt reactors, measuring cores should
be used to properly render the nominal load current. CTs of accuracy class 5P (IEC)/
1.2 (ANSI) or better are recommended.
For controlled switching of transformers or transmission lines or cables, protection
cores should be used to prevent saturation. CTs of accuracy class 3P (IEC)/C (ANSI)
or better are recommended.
Switchsync™ PWC600
User manual
271
Section 16
Requirements for external equipment
1MRK 511 346 C
For loads of type power transformer, transmission line, or power
cable, the application setting for nominal load current needs to be set
to the expected charging current under no-load conditions.
16.3
Voltage transformers
Magnetic or capacitive voltage transformers can be used. For optimal accuracy of
controlled switching operations, the phase displacement should not exceed ±1
electrical degree at nominal voltage. VTs with a measuring core of class 1 or better are
recommended.
Capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs) should fulfil the requirements according to
IEC 61869-5 standard regarding ferro-resonance and transients. Switchsync PWC600
has effective filters for these transients, which gives secure and correct operation with
CVTs.
16.4
Non-conventional instrument transformers and
merging units
Accuracy requirements for non-conventional instrument transformers (NCITs) are
essentially the same as for conventional CTs and VTs, considering the entire signal
chain.
Merging units with a digital interface must comply with IEC 61850-9-2 LE, which is
a globally agreed implementation proposal for the IEC 61850-9-2 standard.
16.5
SNTP server
The SNTP server to be used is connected to the local network, that is not more than 4-5
switches or routers away from the IED. The SNTP server is dedicated for its task, or
at least equipped with a real-time operating system, that is, not a PC with SNTP server
software. The SNTP server should be stable, that is, either synchronized from a stable
source like GPS, or local without synchronization. Using a local SNTP server without
synchronization as primary or secondary server in a redundant configuration is not
recommended.

Instance
When several occurrences of the same function are available in
the IED, they are referred to as instances of that function. One
instance of a function is identical to another of the same kind
but has a different number in the IED user interfaces. The word
"instance" is sometimes defined as an item of information that
is representative of a type. In the same way an instance of a
function in the IED is representative of a type of function.
IP

and encompasses both network layer and transport layer
protocols. While TCP and IP specify two protocols at specific
protocol layers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire US
Department of Defense protocol suite based upon these,
including Telnet, FTP, UDP and RDP.

UTC
Coordinated Universal Time. A coordinated time scale,
maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures
(BIPM), which forms the basis of a coordinated dissemination
of standard frequencies and time signals. UTC is derived from
International Atomic Time (TAI) by the addition of a whole
number of "leap seconds" to synchronize it with Universal
Time 1 (UT1), thus allowing for the eccentricity of the Earth's
orbit, the rotational axis tilt (23.5 degrees), but still showing the
Earth's irregular rotation, on which UT1 is based. The

Coordinated Universal Time is expressed using a 24-hour
clock, and uses the Gregorian calendar. It is used for aeroplane
and ship navigation, where it is also sometimes known by the
military name, "Zulu time." "Zulu" in the phonetic alphabet
stands for "Z", which stands for longitude zero.
