Control hierarchy
It is important that the user understand the meaning of the terms ‘control-right’ and ‘control-
hierarchy’ in connection with the functioning of the control and monitoring applications in the
sub-station automation system (SAS) and the sub-station control and monitoring system
(SCMS). For instance, when we wish to operate a device (such as a piece of switchgear or
others), the system has the device forbidden to operate if the system is unable to give a ‘control-
right’ for the device using the ‘control-hierarchy’. Figure 3.3-1 depicts the control-hierarchy;
the control-hierarchy is made of three control-levels, two selector-switches, and three control-
points. Either control command of three control-points is permitted so that the other
commands will be forbidden in the system. On this account, no collision of control-points exists
within the system.

‡Note: The L|R key on the IED is used for the 43BCU switch. The L|R key
can be programmed during manufacture using the PLC function before shipment,
but it can also be programmed by the user.
§Note: The user can implement a hierarchy by programming the PLC. For more
details, see Chapter PLC function .
