15 System requirements Instructions 1 System requirements This section defines the requirements that must be fulfilled in order to ensure proper installation and operation. 1.1 Terminal end The remote SPA-bus communication or LON-bus communication option, which are used for process communication, must be installed in the terminal. The built-in connectors for SPA or LON are used. Make sure to include these when ordering the terminal. 1.2 The MicroSCADA PC Standard MicroSCADA PC requirements. Approximately 12 Mb disk space available for LIB 580 installation (all functions included). MicroSYS revision or later. MicroTOOL revision or later. MicroNET revision or later. PCNet revision or later. LIB 500 revision or later. 2 Installation The LIB 580 library functions are designed to be as general as possible, making special design easy for the application engineer. For more details see the technical description section for each function. Installation is done in two steps: 1 Install the LIB 580 product See Installation of the LIB 580 product on page Install one or more library functions See Creating and preparing an application on page 14. 1MRK UEN 11

16 Installation Instructions! Note! MicroSCADA sessions are not allowed during installation. 2.1 Installation of MicroSCADA software Before installation of LIB 580, the user must make sure that the MicroSYS, Micro- TOOL and LIB 500 software are already installed on the PC. 2.2 Installation of the LIB 580 product 1 Read the release notes Open the Microsoft Word file Release_notes.doc. 2 Run L580_402.EXE from the CD 3 Select the software package 4 Click Start to install The package will now be installed on the hard disk. 12 1MRK UEN

17 Installation Instructions 5 Execute any package specific instructions Read and follow any package specific instruction in the Readme file. See Readme file on page 14. The LIB 580 functions are installed in the following directory structure: Figure 1: Directory structure LIB 580 files are located in the marked directories. These directories are mostly referenced by their logical path names B_INST, B_USE and R_INST, R_USE and R_LANG. For more details see the appendix. Also note the difference between the MicroSCADA directory delimiter /, and the Windows delimiter \. 1MRK UEN 13

18 Creating and preparing an application Instructions 2.3 Readme file Thereadmefile(README.WRI)is installed in the directory [drive]:\sc\lib4\rmod\process.! Note! Always look in the readme file for the latest information. Specific release information, known errors and limitations are described there. 3 Creating and preparing an application 3.1 Preparations The following preparations are necessary when creating a new application and preparing it for use with LIB 580 library functions. 1 Setup the object identifier SetupAPL:BSV15 in the file SYS_BASCON.COM for the OI attribute in the Process database. See Object identifier on page 15 2 Consider and define the authorisation group The setup is taken into account during standard function configuration. The authorisation group is defined in the User Management Tool. See MicroSCADA documentation for details.authorisation can be defined after the function has been installed, but should be defined earlier. 3 Define the naming conventions for process objects 4 Localise all signal texts LIB 580 are delivered using english as the default language (LANG0). 5 Make sure that a base picture (LIB 500) is installed A process picture cannot be used without an installed base picture. The installed functions also demand that the process objects are created to work properly in run-time mode. 14 1MRK UEN

19 Creating and preparing an application Instructions 3.2 Station type Station type defines the terminal communication protocol. Only LON (according to LAG 1.3) is supported. 3.3 Object identifier Before installation the use of the object identifier attribute (OI)mustbedefined.The attribute string can be divided in up to five substrings or sub-identifiers depending on any user specific needs. Normally, the string is divided into three sub-identifiers; station, bay and device. The length of each substring is freely selectable but the total length must always be exactly 30 characters.! Note! It is of the greatest importance that the object identifier usage is defined before configuration of the installed functions because the configuration process takes these values into account when creating the process database. The total length of the OI string must always be 30 characters. Open the system configuration file SYS_BASCON.COM and locate the following section: ; APPLICATIONS ;The usage of OI & OX -attributes (required by LIB = LIST(- Process_Objects=LIST(- OI=LIST(- Title1=VECTOR("Substation"),- Title2=VECTOR("Bay"),- Title3=VECTOR("Device"),- Title4=VECTOR(""),- Title5=VECTOR(""),- Length1=10,- Length2=15,- Length3=5,- Length4=0,- Length5=0,- Field1=VECTOR("STA"),- Field2=VECTOR("BAY"),- Field3=VECTOR("DEV"),- Field4=VECTOR(""),- Field5=VECTOR("")),- OX=LIST(- Title1=VECTOR("Object text"),- Length1=30))) 1MRK UEN 15

20 Creating and preparing an application Instructions The Titlen parameters defines the title sub-identifier, Lengthn the length sub-identifier and Fieldn the acronym sub-identifier. In the preceding example file, the second sub-identifier (Title2) is Bay, its length (Length2) is 15 characters, and the acronym (Field2) is BAY. The sum of the three used Lengthn parameters is , which equals 30 characters. In the following example, an additional sub-identifier, three characters long, is added to reflect the station voltage level. The definition in the file SYS_BASCON.COM should look like = LIST(- Process_Objects=LIST(- OI=LIST(- Title1=VECTOR("Substation"),- Title2=VECTOR("Voltage Level"),- Title3=VECTOR("Bay"),- Title4=VECTOR("Device"),- Title5=VECTOR(""),- Length1=10,- Length2=3,- Length3=12,- Length4=5,- Length5=0,- Field1=VECTOR("STA"),- Field2=VECTOR(""),- Field3=VECTOR("BAY"),- Field4=VECTOR("DEV"),- Field5=VECTOR("")),- OX=LIST(- Title1=VECTOR("Object text"),- Length1=30)))! Note! If Lengthn is not set, the default values from the base function configuration file is used, defining the length of the three normally used sub-identifiers (station, bay and device) as Length1=2, Length2=14 and Length3=14. This may cause unexpected behaviour at run-time, especially in the case where medium voltage and high voltage functions are installed in the same station picture. 16 1MRK UEN

21 Creating and preparing an application Instructions 3.4 Installing and configuring When the LIB 580 product has been installed, the library functions are available for use. To use a library function i.e. to add a library function to the base picture, it needs to be installed and then configured. For these purposes the following tools are used: Installation tool (IT) Standard configuration tool (SCT) Process object tool (POT) Representation tool (RT) Optional process object tool (OPOT) All tools are briefly described in the following sections. During installation the library function instance must be named and positioned in the base picture. The naming conventions described on page 33 should be followed. All configurable attributes has default values normally making any specific changes unnecessary. However, these default values can be changed at any time during installation and configuration. First use the Installation tool to install library functions and to place the function instances in the base picture. Then use the Standard configuration tool to adjust configurable parameters and to create process objects by running the Process object tool from SCT. Library function Installation process using IT Configuration process using SCT Picture with installed standard function in SC/APL/PICT directory Configuration file Process object Figure 2: Process of the installation and configuration 1MRK UEN 17

22 Creating and preparing an application Instructions Installation tool (IT) Use the Installation tool to install LIB 580 library functions in the base picture. 1 Select a function instance and open the picture editor 2 On the Edit menu, click Select Pictures Functions A quicker way is to click the Picture functions button in the toolbar. 3 Click the Installation tool button The Installation tool dialog box is displayed. 4 Locate the library function to install All library functions are located in the directory [drive]:\lib4\lib 580\Process. Double-click the folder icons in the directory display to open. 5 Install the library function Choose the desired library function, enter a suitable function name and click Install. Position the function instance anywhere in the base picture. All library functions (except bay and station functions) can be installed using one of three function instance sizes: Smallsymbol Medium symbol Large symbol For more information, please see the technical description for each function. As a result of the library function installation the function instance (graphical symbol) and the type function (visible on the bottom row of the base picture in the picture editor mode) are installed. There will be only one type function for each library function, regardless of the number of function instances. For more information about the installation tool, see Installing standard functions in the MicroSCADA manual Picture editing. 18 1MRK UEN

23 Creating and preparing an application Instructions! Note! It is not recommended to mix medium sized picture instances together with small or large sized picture instances of the same library function in one picture. The difference in size can result in picture misalignment Standard configuration tool (SCT) After installing the library function in the base picture, the function instance needs to be configured. Use SCT to set and select attributes, select a suitable representation symbol, and create the process objects. SCT attributes are described in the appendix. 1 Select a function instance to configure 2 Click the Standard configuration tool button The standard configuration tool is started. 3 Configure the function instance Make sure the Configuration tab is displayed. If not, click the Configuration tab. It is important to set attributes in the order of appearance since changing one attribute may affect the default values of other attributes. For more information about the standard configuration tool see Configuration of picture functions in the MicroSCADA manual Picture editing.! Note! Configuration details for each library function can be found in the technical descriptions. 1MRK UEN 19

24 Creating and preparing an application Instructions Process object tool (POT) This tool is used for creating all necessary objects in the process database. POT is unavailable if no process objects are needed. POT can be run from SCT. The tool automatically suggests which process objects are required. 1 Select a function instance to configure 2 Click the Standard configuration tool button The standard configuration tool is started. 3 Click the Tools tab 4 On the Tools list, select Process object tool 5 Click Open 6 Click Create All Normally you should create all process objects. 7 Click Cancel to close the dialog box For more information see Connect a picture function to existing process objects in the MicroSCADA manual Picture editing.!

25 Creating and preparing an application Instructions Representation tool (RT) Some library functions can be represented by user selectable symbol families, in order to conform with company or international standard. Use the Representation tool to select a suitable function instance symbol to represent the function.the Representation tool can be run from SCT. Fig. 3 The representation tool 1 Select a function instance to configure 2 Click the Standard configuration tool button The standard configuration tool is started. 3 Click the Tools tab 4 On the Tools list, select Representation tool Select a suitable symbol from the Representations list. 5 Click OK to use the representation symbol The dialog box is closed.! Note! Configuration details for each library function can be found in the technical descriptions. 1MRK UEN 21

26 Creating and preparing an application Instructions Optional process object tool (OPOT) Some library functions require additional process objects. As an example, a switch device needs several optional process objects in order to control the varying functionality different kinds of devices have. Use OPOT to add these optional process objects. In contrast to IT, SCT and RT, which all are MicroSCADA tools, OPOT is a part of the LIB 580 package. 1 2 Figure 4: The Optional process object tool dialog box At top, the logical name of the function instance is displayed (1).Use the check boxes in the Selected: column (2) to select the process objects affected when clicking any of the command buttons.

37 General Technical descriptions Common functionality Common functionality 1 General 1.1 Naming conventions To achieve conformity in the way a system is described, naming conventions should be set up. The following example shows one way to use consistent and proper naming. The station name is Green Bay and the bay name is HA12 Downtown (For more details about naming conventions see the MicroSCADA manuals): Table 1: Naming conventions Name GRB GRBHA12BAY GRBHA12Q0 GRBHA12Q1 GRBHA12Q9 GRBHA12CT GRBHA12VT GRBHA12ALA GRBHA12LS1 GRBHA12LS2 GRBHA12LS3 GRBHA12LI Meaning Station Bay Circuit breaker Q0 Truck Q1 Earth switch Q9 Measurements/current transformer Measurements/voltage transformer Alarm indicator Line segment 1 of busbar coloring Line segment 2 of busbar coloring Line segment 3 of busbar coloring Line indicator of busbar coloring 1.2 Color coding The color coding is applied generally through the whole library and the corresponding process objects and function instances. Colors are always displayed in priority order as giveninthefollowingtable. Table 2: Color coding Color Description Priority WHITE flashing Object is under command, only for command with an long Highest operation time (CTC, TRA, SWD) WHITE Selected on Monitor (Main dialog box open) MAGENTA Not sampled (OS=10)(symbol? ) MAGENTA Not updated (OS=2,4...9) last known value CYAN Substituted (SB=1) 1MRK UEN 33

All relevant process objects must be connected to the process with an Unit Number (UN), an Object Address (OA) and a proper switch state (SS=Auto). See the technical description for each library function for more details on what indices are used. 1.4 Function instance vs. type function When installing a library function, two graphical symbols are displayed in the base picture; the function instance and the type function. The function instance is a graphical representation of the installed library function. If the library function is installed more than once, for example if several bays need to be controlled or monitored, several function instances, one for each bay, will be displayed in the base picture. The type function is only installed once. The type function is a placeholder for common program code used by all installed function instances. This way memory is used more efficient and changes in common program code are made in one single program file. 34 1MRK UEN

39 Dialog boxes Technical descriptions Common functionality 2 Dialog boxes When a function instance is clicked, the function s main dialog box will be displayed. Other dialog boxes may be displayed when commands are chosen, options are set or buttons are clicked. Clicking a second function instance while a main dialog box is displayed is the same as clicking the Close button in the displayed main dialog box, meaning that the displayed dialog box is closed and any made changes will be lost Figure 1: Example of a dialog box The labels displayed in dialog boxes are stored in text files and can be translated via the translation tool. Specific information about library function dialog boxes are found in the technical descriptions. Table 3: A dialog box contents Description 1 Title bar. On this bar the dialog box title is shown. Click and hold to move the dialog box to any position on the display. 2 Object identifier from the OI attribute, depending on the setting in SYS_BASCON.COM file, see Object identifier on page 36. The symbol label (if present) is shown in parenthesis. 1MRK UEN 35

40 Dialog boxes Technical descriptions Common functionality Table 3: A dialog box contents Description 3 Function specific contents. Here command buttons, option buttons, text boxes and more, specific for each library function are displayed. The possible actions depend on the function. 4 More button. Menu button that displays a cascading menu containing several commands, some specific for the library function. 5 Close button. Command button that closes the dialog box. 6 Help button. Command button that displays the online help for the specific dialog box.the online help system is optionally installed. 7 Info bar. On this bar the status message with highest priority is displayed. When the bar is clicked, the message is erased. Some dialog boxes are using an index-card like selection of pages, like the adjacent example, taken from the Measurement main dialog box. By clicking the tab labelled IL1, P and Q, the options or values concerning that particular subfunction is displayed. Also note the dimmed tab Meas.4, illustrating an unavailable tab, i.e. a tab that contains values or settings that cannot be used or displayed in this particular configuration. Figure 2: Tabs example 2.1 Object identifier The object identifier can be configured to display a part of or the whole identifier. See Setting the way the object identifier is displayed in main dialog boxes on page 25 for instructions. 36 1MRK UEN

41 Dialog boxes Technical descriptions Common functionality 2.2 Unavailable commands Commands that are not allowed to be executed at a certain time are unavailable. In menus or in dialog boxes, they appear dimmed. The button label inherits a grey color and the button will not react when clicked. The reason why the command is unavailable is usually displayed in the dialog box info bar. Some of the reasons can be: The control centre does not have the authority to control this substation. The operator does not have the authority to perform the operation. Discrepancy in database configuration; not all objects are connected to the process. Control has been blocked. The station is in local control. Communication with the process unit is lost. 2.3 Dialog box handling after execution Dialog boxes that are displayed without user action will automatically close after a timeout period set in the MicroSCADA system. Dialog boxes can be set to remain open after command execution, or to be closed when the command is executed without errors. The way a dialog box closes (automatic or manual) is configured in the Process control dialog box. See Setting the way a dialog box closes on page 24 for instructions. If errors are detected during command execution the dialog box will remain open and an error message will be displayed in the dialog box s info bar and the buttons in the dialog box will be dimmed, except for the Help and Close buttons. 2.4 User ID event on command execution An event can be recorded after a successful command execution with the syntax: <Time>, <System name>, <Monitor number>, <User logg-in name>, <Performed operation> See Enabling user event creation on command execution on page 24 for instructions. 2.5 Preselection dialog box Since several dialog boxes not only sets the state of objects in the process database but also execute commands in the MicroSCADA, the need of separating the selection or setting of the command parameters before sending the command to MicroSCADA is apparent. This is done by using a preselection dialog box. 1MRK UEN 37

42 Dialog boxes Technical descriptions Common functionality When the dialog box is displayed at first the OK button is unavailable. Clicking the Close button closes the dialog box. Since no preselection has been made, no commands are executed. Figure 3: Preselection dialog box In the preceding example option buttons are used to switch between the mutually exclusive alternatives In use and Outofuse. When the function option is changed by clicking an option button, a command selection is made. The OK button becomes available and the Close button will change to a Cancel button. Clicking the OK button will cause the selected command to be executed. In the preceding example a command that enables the automatic reclosing function is executed in the MicroSCADA. Clicking the Cancel button will discard made settings and close the dialog box. Examples of preselection dialog boxes are: Internal Blocking (all functions). External Blocking (all functions). Auto reclosure (Bay function). Change Settings (Voltage control function). The dialog box will close after a successful command execution. Errors related to the MicroSCADA command execution will be displayed in the dialog box s info bar. 2.6 Control confirmation Directly executed MicroSCADA commands do not need any preselection of options in order to be executed. A control confirmation dialog box is displayed to make it possible to cancel the command execution. 38 1MRK UEN

43 Dialog boxes Technical descriptions Common functionality The following figure shows the control confirmation dialog box which is displayed after selecting an operator place in the bay control dialog box. 1 2 Figure 4: Control confirmation dialog box The operation or command to be carried out is described in the dialog box for verification. The dialog box is closed when a button is clicked. The dialog box buttons have the following functions: Table 4: Control confirmation dialog box Description 1 Executes the command. In case of simulated process the change in the database is simulated. 2 The command is cancelled.! Note! If the operator place is changed while a control confirmation dialog box is displayed, the dialog box will be closed and a message is displayed in the main dialog box s info bar. 1MRK UEN 39

Table 7: Blocking functionality Blocking type Internal blocking only External blocking only Internal and external blocking Functionality Blocking update, control, alarm, event, printout and reprocessing are performed in the MicroSCADA database. Update and control are performed in the control unit. Blocking alarm, event, printout and reprocessing are not available. Update and control are performed in the control unit. Alarm, event, printout and reprocessing blockings are performed in the MicroSCADA database. Signals from the process can be blocked for six different purposes: Table 8: Blocking purpose Blocking Event blocking Alarm blocking Printout blocking Update blocking Control blocking Reprocessing Purpose Event registration is not done. The events are not shownintheeventlist. Alarms are not activated, regardless of the object state. Events are not sent to the printer. The indications are not updated from the process. Operation commands are not sent to the process. Event channel activation is blocked, e.g. event driven execution of tasks will not be performed.! Note! External blocking details for each library function can be found in the technical descriptions. 1MRK UEN 43

48 Common dialog boxes Technical descriptions Common functionality Internal blockings This type of blocking is done by setting of the corresponding object attribute in the process database: HB (event block) AB (alarm block) PB (printout block) UB (update block) XB (reprocessing block) The OI attribute is used as the condition for blocking. If for example a bay is blocked, all process objects defined with the same bay name in their OI attribute definition will be blocked. This is a preselection command dialog box as described in Preselection dialog box on page 37.! Note! It is very important to configure the OI attribute correctly in order to make the blocking function work properly.. Figure 8: Internal blocking (example) 44 1MRK UEN

97 Introduction Technical descriptions Measurement function Measurement function Use the Measurement library function to monitor analog or pulse counter values in process pictures. The measurements can be presented as numerical values, as bars or just as a measurement symbol. The advantage of presenting the measurements as bars is that the alarm and warning limits are shown together with the measurement, making comparisons of the present measurement value and limit value simple. Function status is indicated by the instance color. Figure 1: Three types of function instances; symbol, horizontal and vertical 1 Introduction The library function has the following functionality: Up to four measurements values displayed per function instance. Supports analog input (AI) values. Supports pulse counter (PC) values. Bar/unit presentation. Alarm state acknowledgment for all limit alarms. Internal blocking (event, alarm, printout, update, reprocessing). Object messages list display. Editable alarm limits. Zero deadband setting. Fast trending display. 1MRK UEN 93
