GPSSyncErr: when GPS synchronization is lost, synchronization of the line differential function
continues for 16 s based on the stability in the local IED clocks. After that, setting Block blocks the
line differential function or setting Echo keeps it on by using the Echo synchronization method.
Using Echo in this case is safe only if there is no risk of varying transmission asymmetry.
CommSync defines the Master and Slave relation in the communication system, and should not be
mistaken for the synchronization of line differential current samples. When direct fiber is used, one
LDCM is set as Master and the other as Slave. When a modem and multiplexer is used, the IED is
always set as Slave because the telecommunication system provides the clock master.
OptoPower has two settings: LowPower and HighPower.
Short-range LDCM: Use LowPower for fibers 0 – 1 km and HighPower for fibers greater than 1 km.
Medium-range LDCM: Typical distance 80 km for HighPower.
Long-range LDCM: Typical distance 120 km for HighPower.
An optical budget calculation should be made for the actual case. For medium range LDCM and long
range LDCM the recommendation is to use the LowPower setting to minimize the power
consumption and keep the heat dissipation at minimum.
The HighPower setting adds 3 dBm extra optical power and can be used to increase the margin at
distances close to maximum.
