Setting up a simple circuit breaker status monitor and control

Setting up a simple circuit breaker status monitor and control

Enabling objects

For circuit breaker control AQ-200 series units use Objects. Objects can be enabled at Control > Functions enabled. Then the enabled object(s) can be found at Control > Objects.

Setting up indication and control signals.

In the INFO page choose which type of object is used: circuit breaker, withdrawable circuit breaker or a disconnector. Then in the same page set Object Status Open and Object Status Closed inputs and then set Object Close Command and Object Open Command. If withdrawable circuit breaker is used, signals for cart "in" and "out" statuses should be set too (Withdrw.CartIn.Status In and Withdrw.CartOut.Status.In).

Setting up event mask for event recording and SCADA communication

As the last step it is adviced to set up "event mask" at EVENT page of the object. In the EVENT page open.
