3. MiCOM PX40 PSL EDITOR

To access to Px40 PSL Editor menu click on

The PSL Editor module enables you to connect to any MiCOM device front port,retrieve and edit its Programmable Scheme Logic files and send the modified fileback to a MiCOM Px40 device.

Although each device will have different PSL capability, the module presents each cellto the user in a uniform style, showing the permissible functions allowed ifappropriate.

3.1 How to use MiCOM Px40 PSL editor

With the MiCOM Px40 PSL Module you can

• Start a new PSL diagram

• Extract a PSL file from a MiCOM Px40 IED

• Open a diagram from a PSL file

• Add logic components to a PSL file

• Move components in a PSL file

• Edit link of a PSL file

• Add link to a PSL file

• Highlight path in a PSL file

• Use a conditioner output to control logic

• Download PSL file to a MiCOM Px40 IED

• Print PSL files



3.1.1 Starting a new scheme logic diagram

Before a scheme logic diagram can be created, the Editor must have a "template"configuration that allows it to determine various relay-specific parameters such as thenumber of optos and contacts, and signal names and types. Because there are manydifferent variants of MiCOM relay, it is not possible for the Editor to provide acommon default scheme. Instead, a configuration needs to be loaded from either afile or a relay.

Loading schemes from files

The product is shipped with default scheme files. These can be opened as they standto be used as a starting point for changes to a scheme. Alternatively, to create a new"blank" scheme the appropriate default file for the appropriate relay may be opened.To do this check the "New (blank) scheme for this relay model" check box in the OpenFile dialogue box. Selecting this check box has the effect of deleting the diagramcomponents from the default file to leave an empty diagram but with the correctconfiguration information loaded.

Loading schemes from relays

Recovering an existing scheme from a relay should be avoided if it can be obtainedfrom the corresponding file. A scheme recovered from a relay is logically correct butthe positional information of signals and links is not available from the relay.

Diagram Reconstruction after Recover from Relay explains the consequences.

If a new "blank" scheme is required, an existing scheme can be uploaded from anappropriate relay then all of the components should be deleted. In thesecircumstances the missing positional information is of no consequence.

3.1.2 Recover scheme logic data from a relay

Recovery of a scheme from a relay, although logically correct, produces a diagramthat may not look very like the original.

Extraction should be avoided if the scheme can be obtained from the file that wassaved when the scheme was sent to the relay.

See Diagram Reconstruction from Relay Extraction

1. Open a connection to the relay.

2. Recover from Relay from the Device menu. If there is an unsaved schemeyou will be prompted to save it before continuing with the data recoveryoperation.


3.1.3 Open a scheme logic diagram

1. Choose Open from the File menu. The Open File dialog is displayed.

2. Navigate to, and highlight, the required file.

3. Check New (blank) scheme for this IED model if you want a new blankscheme containing the configuration for the relay model. If this is not checkedthe default scheme will be loaded.

4. Click Open

Possible reasons for failure to open the connection are dealt with inTroubleshooting.

3.1.4 Add Logic Symbols to a diagram

Logic symbols, text, and images can be added to the canvas by clicking theappropriate button on the Logic Symbols toolbar, then clicking the left mouse buttonon the canvas. The symbol is added to the canvas at the mouse pointer location.

You will be presented with a properties dialog where a signal name must be chosenbefore the symbol can be created. Other properties can be set for some of thesymbols.

3.1.5 Move a Component

With the selection pointer select one or more components.

They can then be moved by:

• Placing the mouse pointer over one of the selected components so the pointerchanges to a 4 headed arrow. Then click and drag them to the new position withthe left mouse button held down.

• Using the Nudge Tools

3.1.6 Edit a Link

When a link is added to a diagram by clicking first on the start symbol then the endsymbol the link is drawn in a simple manner that may not be as you would wish.There are a number of ways that the routing of a link can be edited.

All editing operations are done using the selection pointer.

Moving line sections of a link

Position the selection pointer over the line section so it is a 2 headed arrow, then clickand drag with the left mouse button.

Moving a vertex

Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over thevertex so it is a 4 headed arrow, then click and drag with the left mouse button.



Adding a vertex

Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the linesection so it is a 2 headed arrow, then, while holding down the CTRL key, click the leftmouse button.

Superfluous vertexes will be automatically removed when a link is edited.

Deleting a vertex

Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over thevertex so it is a 4 headed arrow, then, while holding down the CTRL key, click the leftmouse button.

Creating a straight line link

Deleting all the vertexes in a link will create a straight line link between twocomponents.

3.1.7 Add a Link to a diagram

A link between logic symbols represents a logical connection within a relay, so thereare rules that need to be adhered-to.

To add a link

1. click the Link tool on the Logic Symbols toolbar. The mouse pointer changes toa small cross.

2. move the pointer to the symbol to connect from.

3. when the pointer is close to the connection point it will change to a target (across in a circle).

4. click while the pointer is a target.

5. now move the pointer to the symbol to connect to.

6. again while the pointer is a target click the mouse to complete the link. The linkwill be drawn as simply as possible using horizontal and vertical lines.

7. while the link tool is active you may continue to add more links.

8. press the ESC key or right click on the canvas to return to the selection pointer.

Adding links to a gate

When a gate is created it has two inputs. Additional connection points areautomatically created as more links are added. Position the target pointer at the topof the gate to add links to the top and at the bottom to add them to the bottom.

Complex links

While creating a link, you may click the mouse in several places to route the linkaround other components. Each click will create a vertex.

See also: Edit a Link

3.1.8 Highlight a Path

Symbols and links may be highlighted to enable components that are connected tobe easily identified on the diagram.


Highlighting is done from the anchor component only.

Choose Highlight from the Edit menu.

1. Highlighting is removed by left-clicking in an area of free canvas, orperforming an edit action.

There are 4 variations on highlighting a path.

The examples below illustrate them.

S0081ENa

Latching LED 2DDB #065

DDB #1811 Dééc.éé

DDB #1852 Dééc.éé

1

Example 1

Highlighting a gate symbol causes its associated input and output paths to behighlighted.

S0082ENa

Straight0

0

R7 Cntl CB TripDDB #005DDB #293

Contrôle déclt

Example 2

Highlighting a link causes all graphically connected links to be highlighted.

Example 3

Highlighting a signal symbol causes all logically connected links to be highlighted.

Example 4

Highlighting a signal symbol or its associated signal symbol causes all logicallyconnected links to be highlighted.



3.1.9 Use a conditioner output to control logic

The output from an LED conditioner or contact conditioner may be used as an inputto other logic elements in a scheme.

First ensure that the conditioner exists on the scheme.

1. Then add the appropriate LED Signal or Contact Signal symbol to the diagramusing Logic Symbols toolbar.

2. A link may then be attached to the connection point at right hand end of thesymbol. This connection point on the signal does not have the usual tail.

The program ensures that the rules for Inserting Contact and LED Signals areadhered to.

3.1.10 Send scheme logic data to a MiCOM Px40 IED

1. Open a connection to the MiCOM Px40 IED.

2. Choose Send to IED from the Device menu.

WARNINGS

Before the scheme is sent to the relay some checks are done. Various warningmessages may be displayed as a result of these checks.

The Editor first reads in the model number of the connected relay, and then comparesit with the stored model number. A "wildcard" comparison is employed. If a modelmismatch occurs then a warning will be generated before sending commences. Boththe stored model number and that read-in from the relay are displayed along withthe warning; the bonus is on you to decide if the settings to be sent are compatiblewith the connected relay. Wrongly ignoring the warning could lead to undesiredbehaviour in the relay.

If there are any potential problems of an obvious nature then a list will be generated.The types of potential problems that the program attempts to detect are:

• One or more gates, LED signals, contact signals, and/or timers have their outputslinked directly back to their inputs. An erroneous link of this sort could lock up therelay, or cause other more subtle problems to arise.

• Inputs To Trigger (ITT) exceeds the number of inputs. A programmable gate hasits ITT value set to greater than the number of actual inputs; the gate can neveractivate. Note that there is no lower ITT value check. A 0-value does not generatea warning.

• Too many gates. There is a theoretical upper limit of 256 gates in a scheme, butthe practical limit is determined by the complexity of the logic. In practice thescheme would have to be very complex, and this error is unlikely to occur.

• Too many links. There is no fixed upper limit to the number of links in a scheme.However, as with the maximum number of gates, the practical limit is determinedby the complexity of the logic. In practice the scheme would have to be verycomplex, and this error is unlikely to occur.

3.4 MiCOM Px40 PSL editor properties

3.4.1 General

Name

Enter the name you want this particular component to have.

Text

Enter the text to be displayed. This is only available for text components.

Type

The component type is displayed here. It cannot be changed.

3.4.2 Contact conditionner properties

Each contact can be conditioned with an associated timer.

The timer can be set as pick up and/or drop off, pulse, dwell, straight through, orlatching.

Straight through means it is not conditioned in any way.

Contact properties menu

Displays the properties of the contact signal.

1. Select the contact name from the Contact Name list (only shown wheninserting a new symbol)

2. Choose the Timer Mode

3. Set the Pickup Time (in milliseconds)

4. Set the Dropoff Time (in milliseconds)


Inserting Contact

A contact can only be inserted into the raster if its associated conditioner are alreadypresent. This is deliberately enforced by the program. If this condition was notimposed, a signal could be used in a scheme without its associated conditioner onthe corresponding diagram.

The conditioner settings may affect the signal, since the absence of the conditionerfrom the raster would not disassociate it from the signal. Under this circumstance thescheme might not behave in the expected manner.

Deleting Conditionners

An attempt to delete a contact conditioner will be refused if there are any associatedsignals for that conditioner anywhere on the diagram. This prevents the situationwhere conditioner signals remain on the diagram, but the conditioner themselveshave been deleted. If the delete action is refused, find all occurrences of theconditioner signals and delete them first. Use Highlight a Path to find the associatedsignals.

3.4.3 Drawings Properties

Line

Enables you to select the colour, style and width of all lines of drawing components.

Fill colour

Drop-down menu enabling you to select the crosshatching colour of this fill.

Background colour

Drop-down menu enabling you to select the background colour of this fill.

Transparent fill

When selected, the component is unfilled.

Transparent background

When selected, the component is filled with just the crosshatching selected.



Hatch

List box enabling you to select the crosshatching style of this fill.

Position and size

Shows the position and size of drawing components.

The values cannot be changed in the dialog. Values will change if the component ismoved or resized using the mouse pointer.

3.4.4 Gate Properties

A Gate may be an AND, OR, or programmable gate.

An AND gate requires that all inputs are TRUE for the output to be TRUE.

An OR gate requires that one or more input is TRUE for the output to be TRUE.

A Programmable gate requires that the number of inputs that are TRUE is equalto or is greater than its ‘Inputs to Trigger’ setting for the output to be TRUE.

Component properties menu

Displays the properties of the Gate.

1. Select the Gate type from the three radio buttons AND , OR, or Programmable

2. Set the number of inputs to trigger when Programmable is selected.

Set Inverted output. When checked the output of the gate is inverted. An invertedoutput is indicated with a "bubble" on the gate output.


3.4.5 LED conditioner properties

Each LED can be conditioned to be latching or non latching.

LED properties menu

Displays the properties of the LED conditioner :

Select the LED name from the list (only shown when inserting a new symbol)

Configure the LED output to be latching or non-latching.

Inserting LED Signals

LED signals can only be inserted into the raster if their associated conditioners arealready present. This is deliberately enforced by the program. If this condition was notimposed, a signal could be used in a scheme without its associated conditionners onthe corresponding diagram.

The signal settings may affect the signal, since the absence of the conditioner fromthe raster would not disassociate it from the signal. Under this circumstance thescheme might not behave in the expected manner.

Deleting Conditionners

An attempt to delete an LED conditioner will be refused if there are any associatedsignals for that conditioner anywhere on the diagram. This prevents the situationwhere conditioner signals remain on the diagram, but the conditioners themselveshave been deleted. If the delete action is refused, find all occurrences of theconditioner signals and delete them first. Use Highlight a Path to find the associatedsignals.



3.4.6 Link Properties

Link properties menu

Check Invert Link if the input of the gate to which the link is attached should beinverted.

NOTES: A link that is connected to an input of a gate can be invertedvia its Properties dialog. No properties are available forlinks to any other logic element. An inverted link is indicatedwith a "bubble" on the input to the gate:Due to constraints within the relay logic, there are severalCrules that must be adhered-to when linking symbolstogether. If one of these rules is broken then the link will fail.

Rules For Linking Symbols

Links can only be started from the output of a signal, gate, or conditionner, and canonly be ended on an input to a gate.

Since signals can only be either an input or an output then the concept is somewhatdifferent. In order to follow the convention adopted for gates and conditionners, inputsignals are connected from the left, and output signals from the right. The Editor willautomatically enforce this convention.

A link attempt will be refused where one or more rules would otherwise be broken. Alink will be refused for the following reasons:

An attempt to connect to a signal that is already driven. The cause of the refusal maynot be obvious, since the signal symbol may appear elsewhere in the diagram. UseHighlight a Path to find the other signal.

An attempt is made to repeat a link between two symbols. The cause of the refusalmay not be obvious, since the existing link may be represented elsewhere in thediagram. E.g. a gate is controlled directly by the output of an LED conditioner. Anattempt is made to link a separate LED signal corresponding to the LED conditioner(which is logically the same as the LED conditioner output) to the gate. The Editordetects this and refuses the connection.

3.4.7 Diagram Reconstruction after Recover from Relay

Although the extraction of a scheme from a relay is supported, the facility is providedas a way of recovering a scheme in the event that the original file is unobtainable.

The recovered scheme will be logically correct, but much of the original graphicalinformation is lost. Many signals will be drawn in a vertical line down the left side ofthe canvas. Links are drawn orthogonally using the shortest path from A to B.

Any annotation added to the original diagram (titles, notes etc.) are lost.

Sometimes a gate type may not be what was expected, e.g. a 1-input AND gate inthe original scheme will appear as an OR gate when uploaded.Programmable gates with an inputs-to-trigger value of 1 will also appear as ORgates.

3.4.8 Signals Properties

Signal properties menu

The Signals List tab is used for the selection of logic signals.


It lists the signals of the chosen type that are available for the specific relayconfiguration.

The signals listed will be appropriate to the type of Logic Symbol being added to thediagram. They will be of one of the following types;

Opto Signal

Input Signal

Output Signal

Fault Record Trigger

LED Signal

Contact Signal

3.4.9 Text, Font & Labels

Text

Text components are very similar to rectangle components. A rectangular box isdrawn around the border of the text component using the line properties. If the lineproperty is set to transparent, then no border is drawn. The text component can bemoved, scaled, and rotated. The four vertices that make up the bounding rectangle ofthe text component can be edited. Like the rectangle component, the text componentmaintains its shape when a vertex is moved.

The text component can be configured to support either a single line or multiple linesof text. If the multi-line text is enabled, the automatic word break (i.e. word wrap)feature can be enabled or disabled.

The text can also be aligned vertically or horizontally. Vertical alignment is onlyapplicable to single line text.

Double clicking a text component will put it into edit mode. Enter the new text thenpress ENTER to accept the changes, or ESC to abort the changes.

Font

Enables you to set the font, style, size and colour of a text component.

Labels

Enables you to change the orientation and position of the Label with respect to itsowner.



3.4.10 Timer Properties

Each timer can be set as pick up and/or drop off, pulse, or dwell.

Timer properties Dialog
