6.3 DIGITAL TPS MODULE
The Digital TPS module (500500) is an additional module that has the same teleprotection
functionality as the TPS section of the “Display With TPS Module” (500410), but does not have any of
the front panel indicators or connectors.
This module would be used if additional Digital Teleprotection functions are required for a particular
application, or if Digital teleprotection functions are implemented on different modules.
The additional GARD Digital TPS module consists of four teleprotection (TPS) channels. Each TPS
channel is capable of transmitting and receiving eight independent and simultaneous bi-directional
commands over a single communications interface. Each TPS channel utilizes its own addressing and
channel delay measurements. Addressing and Channel Delay measurements are sent and received with
each message. Functionality of the TPS system is dependent on logic programming. Standard default
logic is available to satisfy most applications. For applications that are not covered in one of the default
logics, custom logic can be provided by RFL.
