C232-302-401/402/403/404-603 / C232/EN M/A23 3-143
Time control of the
switching commands
As the switching command ends, the running time monitoring of the switching device is
started. The C232 anticipates a status signal - ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’ to be issued by the
switching device within the monitoring time. The status signal of the switchgear position
comes in via appropriately configured binary inputs of the C232 where debouncing and
chatter suppression can be set. (For a description of ‘debouncing’ and ‘chatter
suppression’ see the section entitled “Main Functions of the C232 (Function Group
MAIN)”.) 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.
As soon as the status signal - 'Open' or 'Closed' is issued or at the end of the running
time monitoring, the control command ends - once the set latching time has (see also
Figure 3-106).
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'.
