Event recording - SER
Recording is triggered by one or more causes:
• Start and/or trip of any enabled protection or control element
• Binary input activation (OFF-ON or ON-OFF transition)
• Power-on or power-down (Auxiliary power supply)
• Setting change.
Three hundred events are recorded into a circular FIFO (First In, First Out) buffer.
[2][1]
Following information are stored in every record:
• Event counter
[2]
• Date and time
• Event cause (binary input/element trip/setting change)
Oscillography - DFR
Upon programmable trigger, the fault records are recorded in COMTRADE format; the sampled mea-
sures (24 sample per cycle) are stored in a circular shift memory buffer.
The fault record are self-triggered; they are stored in sequential order up the allocated memory is
used up after which the oldest memory is overwritten.
An operating procedure example for the digital fault recording is illustrated inside the ThyVisor sec-
tion.
Following parameters are user-programmable:
• Pre-trigger and post-trigger time
• Selected sampled quantities.
• Analog channels (1...12) allocation.
• Digital channels (1...12) allocation (output relay and/or binary inputs).
• Trigger setup; the information storage starts when a state transition on the selected signal occurs.
(protective element start and/or trip, output relay and/or binary input switching).
• Alarm: when the 80% of the buffer space is reached an alarm may be issued. The system being of
linear type, the records are back-to-back recorded to the end of available memory; the alarm out-
put is a warning in order that the user may download data
[3]
to clear memory for new records.
COMTRADE
Records are recorded in COMTRADE format; (Common Format for Transient Data); This is a standard
for the data exchange for various types of tests or simulation datas, etc, for power system applica-
tions.
The measurements are recorded in ASCII or BINARY format. COMTRADE files always come by
pairs:
• The “.CFG”-file describing the configuration: number of analog and digital channels, sampling rate,
scale factors, etc.
• The “.DAT”-file containing the data
The COMTRADE is part of IEC 60255-24 standard.
The recording can be analyzed by mean of ThyVisor sw or any other standard compliant viewer.
The record quantity is depending on settings of following parameters:
• Pre-trigger and post-trigger times
• Number of allocated channels.
By means of the following formula the record quantity may be evaluated:
where:
• N record quantity
• v
i
sampled measures
• v
RMS
analog measures (RMS)
• n
B
logic variables (2 up to 16 variables)
• t

pre-trigger time interval
• t
post
post-trigger time interval
• f frequency
Note 1 Event 0 is the newest event, while the Event 299 is the oldest event
Note 2 Counter is updated at any new record; it may be cleared by means ThyVisor
Note 3 Data are stored into non-volatile memory; they are retained once power is turned off
