Switch Control Setup
Code-Description
These are the point codes representing specic status points that may be assigned to
individual SCADA point numbers. Setting a Code-Description point code to the “End”
setting denes the end of the congured points list and the maximum number of status
points that can be returned.
Status points received from the external device may be mapped to individual SCADA
points. Enter the external device Status point number (the range is 0 to 255) in this column.
See the external device manufacturer’s documentation for definitions of its Status points.
Class
This is the DNP event class in which this point can be placed. Specify Class 1, Class 2,
Class 3, or choose the No Event option if event data reporting is turned off for this point.
User-Defined Digital Inputs Section
The digital input contacts use connector J20 on the PS/IO board. See Figure 37 on page
79 for the contact description.
Note: The User-Defined Digital Inputs feature is only available for PS/IO boards
with a “J20” connector, shipped after the end of 2013.
User-Defined Input n Label
This user-congured label has a 30-character limit and can be displayed on the Operation
screen.
Show on Operation Screen
These points can be displayed on the Operation screen because they can be congured
to block an operation. (Default: No)
Require SCADA Acknowledgement
Because these inputs will typically represent some form of alarm condition, when a
SCADA acknowledgement is required it will clear the alarm only if the user-dened input
has become inactive. (Default: No)
User-Defined Input n Status
This shows the active or inactive status of the user-dened input.
Clear Input n Button
When the Require SCADA Acknowledgement setpoint is et to the Yes state, the active
state of the user-dened input will persist after the physical input has become deactive
until receipt of this button command or the corresponding control point.
User-Defined Input n On action
These functions are activated by a user-dened input change of state from inactive
to active and are not locked to the active state. For a command such as the Prohibit
Restoration command, the DNP control point or a front panel command can execute
an Enable Restoration command to cancel the Prohibit Restoration command.
A subsequent user-dened input change of state from inactive to active would then
re-execute the Prohibit Restoration command. (Range: Disable Automatic Operation,
Prohibit Restoration, Block Close Operations, Block Open and Close Operations, and
None; Default: None)
When User Input n Is On, Block Operation of
This setpoint selects the switch the user-dened input will block. (Range: Switch 1,
Switch 2, Switch 3, and All; Default: Switch n)
Front Panel LCD Screen
The “Real-Time Data” section of the LCD screen shows the state of the User-dened
Inputs: “User Inputs: 1 2 3” on line one, and “State:0 1 1” on line two.
