Status Point: This is the point number the SCADA system will see in response to a static
or event data request or an unsolicited response.
Code Description: This point code represents a specic type of counter reported by the
TripSaverII recloser. There are counter points for each of the four TripSaverII reclos-
ers. A full list of code-description denitions is found in S&C Instruction Sheet 461-560,
“TripSaver® II Communications Gateway: DNP Points List and Implementation.”
Code descriptions are defined by selecting the Code Description field in line with
the respective Status Point field. A drop-down dialog box will appear with code defi-
nitions for all TripSaverII reclosers paired with the communications gateway. When a
code definition has been chosen, select the Check Mark icon to finalize it. Removal of
a code selection can be performed by selecting the blank row in the pull-down menu and
clicking on the check mark. This will result in the field being displayed as empty. Finally,
click on the Save button.
Class: This is the DNP event class in which this point can be placed. Specify Class 1,
Class 2, or Class 3, or chose the No Event option to turn off event data reporting for
this eld.
Pct (Percent) Deadband: This eld creates a range based on a percentage of the last
reported value for this counter point. The range bound is dened by multiplying the
eld input value by the value of the counter point. In the case where the next analog
input “READ,” specic to this point, exceeds the range either by a positive or negative
amount, the information will be included in the next event report. The default value is
Disabled. No range is created and no comparison occurs. Specifying a Zero value or
any other number creates the range and enables the comparison. To disable this eld
after it has been enabled, select the Blank Row option in the pull-down menu to switch
back to Disabled mode.
Fixed Deadband: This eld creates a xed deadband range relative to the last reported
value for this counter point. If the next counter input “READ,” specic to this point,
exceeds the range either by a positive or negative amount, the information will be included
in the next event report.
The default value is Disabled. No range is created, and no comparison occurs. Specifying
a Zero value or any other number creates the range and enables the comparison. To disable
this eld after it has been enabled, select the Blank Row option in the pull-down menu
to switch back to Disabled mode.
