The timing diagram shown above is based on default Unblock Logic as follows: 20ms Unblock Security Timer,
150ms Unblock Trip Window, and “Reset on Guard” for Unblock Trip Restore. Logic “gate delays” are negligible
and are not indicated on timing diagram.
The “Unblock Security Timer” is used to disable trip output for short losses of “LO SIG” (<20ms). The
“PASS_SECURITY” signal is the output of this timer; it goes active for “LO SIG” equal or greater than 20ms, and
triggers the “Unblock Window Timer”. The “Unblock Window Timer” holds the trip output (“LOW_SIG_TRIP”) for
150ms. The “LOW_SIG_TRIP” also triggers the “R” input of the S-R Latch and the “5ms Pulse Timer”,
preventing additional trip outputs until “GUARD_RLY” is qualified (>50ms) by the “Unblock Trip.
