Despite these control functions (outputs), the system is primarily intended for monitoring of he faults
on the MV network and is therefore named “Fault Monitoring Software” in the next paragraphs.
3.3 Communication functions
The communication shall be supported on the same PC, using:
- Modbus protocol compatible with the Communicating Fault Passage Indicators
- PSTN modem of the PC
The Fault monitoring sofware shall not be permanently connected to any Communicating Fault
Passage Indicators Communication shall be initiated:
- By the Fault monitoring sofware:
- automatically on configured periodic call,
- on operator general control request,
- on operator request for one specific Communicating Fault Passage Indicator,
- automatically when sending a control: resetting a fault detector and changing status of a
digital output.
- By a communicating Fault Passage Indicator: The communicating Fault Passage Indicator calls the
control center on predefined alarms, according to user configuration: see §2.
The periodic connection can be configured independently for each communicating Fault Passage
Indicator.
3.4 Man-Machine interface
The Fault monitoring sofware Man-Machine Interface shall be made of at least 2 screens:
- One network global overview screen showing a simplified single line diagram or geographical
representation of the network with all communicating Fault Passage Indicators monitored.
- One detailled view per communicating Fault Passage Indicator showing all information handled by
this communicating Fault Passage Indicator.
3.4.1 Network global view
On this view, the network is shown either geographically or as a single line diagram. The network
map can be added as a back plane.
The network view window includes vertical and horizontal scrolling functions so that it can be bigger
than the screen size.
The network is drawn using animated symbols to represent each substation and lines (non-animated)
for electrical lines and cables as well as other graphical objects.
Each substation is shown with a symbol under which the substation name is displayed.
It is animated as follows:
- Symbol:
- Fixed colour in normal condition
- Red blinking or other similar when the fault current indication is active
- Substation name:
- Clicking on the substation name allows to open the substation detailed view.
3.4.2 Substation detailled view
The substation detailled view shall show all information from the communicating Fault Passage
Indicator installed in this substation as well as control of the communicating Fault Passage Indicator
resetting and output contacts: See §2 for more details about such information.
