ABB Relion 670 series - Binary Output Status Points and Control Relay Output Blocks

ctlModel, of the SCSWI is respected when set to SBO Enh. If ctlModel is set to SBO
Enh, direct operate commands from DNP3 are not allowed. On the other hand, if
ctlModel is set to Dir Norm, SBO commands from DNP3 are allowed.
Furthermore, the select timeout parameter tSelectTimeout in DNP3 should be set so
that it harmonizes with the tSelect parameter of the SCSWI. The shortest of the two
parameters dictates the timing of select/execute.
The output L_CAUSE of SCSWI can be used to get command response feedback. It is
limited to cover the command responses from the function specific command
evaluation and keeps it available until a new command is processed and responded to
by the function. The causes that are not always reflected on the output L_CAUSE, with
description of the typical reason, are listed in Table
2.

3 Select-failed Canceled due to an unsuccessful selection
(select service)
8 Blocked-by-Mode Control action is blocked because the LN
(CSWI) is in a mode (Mod) which doesn’t
allow any switching or does not match the
mode of the command.
12
Command-already-in-execution Control, select or cancel service is rejected
because control action is already running.
13 Blocked-by-health Control action is blocked due to some
internal event that prevents a successful
operation (Health).
16
Time-limit-over Control action is terminated due to exceed of
some time limit.
18 Object-not-selected Control action is rejected because control
object was not selected.
19 Object-already-selected Select action is not executed because the
addressed object is already selected.
20 No-access-authority Control action is blocked due to lack of
access authority.
26 Inconsistent-parameters The parameters between successive control
services are not consistent, for example the
ctlNum of Select and Operate service are
different.
27
Locked-by-other-client Another client has already reserved the
object.

While binary outputs status (BOS) points are included here for completeness, they are
not often polled by DNP3 masters. BOS points represent the most recent value from a
