87L Channel Synchronization Logic and Status
Figure 3.196 87CHpRQ Logic for the 2SD 87L Configuration
Use the 87CHpAC and 87CHpRQ Relay Word bits when testing or when
developing custom 87L alarm logic. These Relay Word bits are inputs to many
relay logic diagrams. An understanding of the concepts of active and required
channels is therefore beneficial for comprehending the remainder of this
section and other sections in this manual.
87L Channel Synchronization Logic and Status
This section explains settings and associated operating and status logic for
87L data synchronization.
We first provide details regarding clock offset calculations for the channel-
based synchronization method and other auxiliary usage such as channel
monitoring and alarming or when engaging time fallback logic in external
time-based data synchronization.
We then provide details for the estimation of time quality for the external
time-based synchronization method and other auxiliary usage such as channel
monitoring and alarming.
Finally, the section describes logic schemes that drive the method of data
synchronization and indicate the status and estimated accuracy of
synchronization. User settings determine the method of synchronization, but
this method can change dynamically in the external time-based
synchronization mode according to the time fallback method in effect.
Synchronization accuracy helps control sensitivity of the 87L function and
supervises the multi-ended fault location algorithm.
