3.20.1 Processing of Position Signals for Manually Operated Switchgear
The position signals ‘Open’ and ‘Closed’ are assigned to binary signal inputs. The
signals conditioned by debouncing and chatter suppression (see: ‘Main Functions of the
C232’) are used for further processing. If no logic value of '1' is present at any of the two
binary signal inputs, the running time monitoring is started. For the duration of the
running time or until the switching device is back to a defined position - either ‘Open’ or
‘Closed’ - the signal ‘Intermediate position’ is issued.
If DEV01: Interm. pos. suppr. is set to Yes, the previous switching device position
will continue to be signaled while the switching device is moving. Once the switching
device has reached its new position, the updated position is signaled.
The signal ‘Faulty position’ is issued if the switching device does not return to the ’Open’
or ‘Closed’ position once the running time monitoring has elapsed. If DEV01:
Stat.ind.interm.pos. is set to yes, a delay time of 5 s is started. If there is no position
signal once the timer stage has elapsed, the state actually present at the binary inputs
will be signaled.
Switch truck
For switchgear units mounted on switch trucks with switch truck plugs, there is the
possibility of configuring a single-pole signal as status signal from the switch truck plug.
If such a configuration has been assigned, the position signal of the associated switching
device is set to ‘Open’ while the input has a logic value of '1'.
