Product Line
3090SCCT

Environment
CT Ratio

Resolution
*Warning: Installation and maintenance of this device should only be performed by qualified, competent personnel that have appropriate training and experience with high voltage and current devices. Failure to follow the instructions / warnings in the Meter Installation Guide can result in permanent damage to the meter, severe injury or death.

Note: This is not a suggested solution. It is recommended that the appropriate CTs be purchased for each application.

The ratio assigned to a current transformer is based on the assumption that the primary conductor will only pass through the current transformer opening once. It is possible to reduce the rating by looping the primary conductor through the opening multiple times. The rating will be reduced by the times the primary conductors is looped through the CT. For example, a CT with the rating of 400:5A will be changed to 100:5A if four loops or turns are created by passing the primary conductor through the CT four times. See illustration and table below.

The ratio of the current transformer can also be modified by changing the number of secondary turns by either passing the secondary lead forward or backward through the current transformer opening.

Ip / Is = Ns / Np

Ip = primary amperage
Is = secondary amperage
Ns = number of secondary turns
Np = number of primary turns

400p / 5s = 80s / 1p

Note: One turn is dropped from the secondary as a ratio correction factor.

By adding secondary turns, while keeping the primary amperage the same will result in greater secondary output. For example, using the 400:5A current transformer, by adding 5 secondary turns it will now require 425 amps on the primary to maintain the 5 amp secondary output.

400p / 5s = 80s / 1p
Xp / 5s = 85s / 1p , where Xp equals the primary amperage.
Solving for Xp gives a requirement of 425 amps on the primary.

Similarly, subtracting 5 secondary turns will now require 375 amps on the primary to maintain the 5 amp secondary output.

400p / 5s = 80s / 1p
Xp / 5s = 75s / 1p , where Xp equals the primary amperage.
Solving for Xp gives a requirement of 375 amps on the primary.

Issue:
Is the shorting contactor for an ATS48 a required component?

Product Line:
Altistart 48

Environment:
All

Cause:
NA

Resolution:

A shorting contactor engages when the motor is running at full speed.  The starter provides proper sequencing of this contactor by the ``end of starting`` relay (R2).  When the start is completed, the shorting contactor will be commanded to close.  The starter will continue to monitor the motor thermal state and provide motor overload protection.  Upon a stop command, the KM3 (shorting contactor designation) contactor will open, transferring the motor current to the SCRs to allow for a controlled deceleration if desired.

The shorting contactor is not required, but there are definite advantages to using one:

  • It extends the life of the internal electronics and SCRs due to the reduced heat effects of the current and SCR firing.
  • It reduces the heat dissipated by the controller.

Issue:
How does humidity affect insulation resistance testing results?

Product Line:
Circuit Breakers

Environment:
Molded case and insulated case breakers

Resolution:
High humidity can drastically reduce insulation resistance testing results for circuit breakers.

Some equipment acceptance testing documents suggest values above 100 mega ohms and normally that is okay however high humidity can drastically reduce the results of the insulation resistance values.  Below is a sample of how higher humidity can reduce the IR values, making the 100 mega ohms acceptance testing values invalid.
40% humidity:  breaker IR value above 500 mega ohms, typical 1 G ohm*
75% humidity:  breaker IR value around 10 mega ohms*
95% humidity:  breaker IR value around 4 mega ohms*

*All values above are functional and conforming. Values derived from test data on Powerpact H frame breakers in a Schneider Electric laboratory.

The IEC 60947 standard, section 6.1.3.1 states that IR testing should be done below 50% humidity and states a 1 M ohm minimum IR value for a new breaker.

NEMA AB-4 recommends IR values for breakers, less than one mega ohm (1,000,000 ohm) should be investigated.  The Schneider Electric field testing and maintenance guide also states the same one mega ohm value, as written below.

Severe environmental conditions can reduce the dielectric strength of
molded case circuit breakers. Check insulation resistance during electrical
system testing.
To check the insulation resistance, perform the following steps:
1. De-energize and isolate the circuit breaker.
2. Clean the circuit breaker as described earlier.
3. Using a megohmmeter with a capacity of 500–1000 Vdc, apply voltage
from:
a. Each phase-to-ground with the circuit breaker on (circuit breaker
contacts closed).
b. Phase-to-phase with the circuit breaker on (circuit breaker contacts
closed).
c. Between each line and load terminal with the circuit breaker off
(circuit breaker contacts open).
4. Record resistance values. Resistance values of less than one mega ohm
(1,000,000 ohm) should be investigated.

ION flicker measurements

Resolution
Are the Flicker values valid for a Delta, 2PT and 2CT system?

We are not aware of any standards that stipulate that the flicker values need to be based on voltage phase line to neutral values. As such, when the meter is in delta mode, the Flicker module in the meter detects this volts mode and calculates flicker data based on voltage line-to-line values. The accuracy of the calculation is the same whether line-to-neutral or line-to-line voltages are used.

In a Delta configuration can you base flicker measurements off of 3 PTs instead of 2?
No. In delta mode only 2 PTs are required for V1 and V3 connections; V2 is calculated based off these values. The Flicker module also uses the calculated V2 voltage to generate flicker data.

Can the Flicker module be made read-only?
The hardware-locked ION meter option locks all revenue related modules in the meter however the Flicker Module is not included in the locked modules. One way to restrict access to the Flicker module on the meter would be to enable Advanced Security and grant a user read-only access.

How to get flicker data?
The outputs of the Flicker Module need to be connected to a Data Recorder module in order to record flicker data.
General information regarding the Flicker module and the Data Recorder module is available in the online ION Reference document.

The scale factor for the Energy reading in the Series 700 Power Meter is automatically adjusted by the meter. The front display will adjust based on the range of the reading. There is a scale register associated to Energy but is not user adjustable. Energy is stored in a 2 register format as a floating point value. Other Meters like the Series 2000, 3000, 4000 Circuit Monitors and the Series 800 Power Meter store Energy in 4 registers with a Modulo 10,000 (mod10) format.

This depends on the model number of the meters in question. The CM3000, CM4000, and PM800 all use the same display cable. The PM600, on the other hand, uses a different pinout and will not function properly with a CM3/CM4/PM8 display cable. Despite the different pinouts, both display cables utilize a 6 pin RJ-11 jack with 26 AWG wire. Both cables are RS-232, thus 50ft is the maximum length. If the displays or cables are interchanged, no damage will occur. The pinouts are shown below:

Environment
Meter calibration and accuracy

Resolution
All meters are calibrated at the factory to ensure they comply with published accuracy specifications. They do not require periodic re-calibration nor should they need to be re-calibrated over the operational life of the meter. However, some meters may experience an accuracy drift over time due to environmental or other unknown factors. If a meter is suspected to have drifted outside of it's published accuracy range, it can be sent back to the factory for re-calibration and certification.

Resolution
The M580 can send an explicit Ethernet IP message to a Contrologix PLC as long as it is sent to an Ethernet/IP object that supports being read or written.
Note: You will need to talk to the Contrologix PLC support on what Ethernet/IP objects a remote Ethernet/IP Scanner device can read or write.

Contrologix PLCs can read and write each others Tag database via Ethernet/IP using the proprietary Client Server Protocol ("CSP") protocol, with embedded PCCC  (Programmable Controller Communication Commands) commands. This Ethernet/IP (CSP/PCCC) protocol is a proprietary implementation of Ethernet/IP and Schneider Electric does not have access to it.

Issue:
What were the results of the M340 Series PLC RADIO FREQUENCY IMMUNITY TEST?

Product Line:
Modicon M340, BMXP34

Resolution:

The results are based on λ/4 or  λ/8 antenna and the worst case calculated (when the field is reflected and the PLC catches the incoming field + the reflected field.)

Antenna  λ/8 @ 1 meter
1. VHF radio transmitter – nominal 47 MHz to 48 MHz – rated 15 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 7,7
2. VHF radio transmitter – nominal 158 MHz to 173 MHz – rated 10 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 6,3
3. UHF radio transmitter – nominal 450 MHz to 470 MHz – rated 5 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 4,5
4. UHF radio transmitter – nominal 832 MHz to 848 MHz – rated 0.6 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 1,5

Antenna  λ/4 1 meter
1. VHF radio transmitter – nominal 47 MHz to 48 MHz – rated 15 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 25,6
2. VHF radio transmitter – nominal 158 MHz to 173 MHz – rated 10 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 20,9
3. UHF radio transmitter – nominal 450 MHz to 470 MHz – rated 5 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 14,8
4. UHF radio transmitter – nominal 832 MHz to 848 MHz – rated 0.6 W minimum RF output to antenna. worse case field 2*E0 = 5,1

- We do radiated immunity tests according to IEC61000-4-3 in a semi-anechoic chamber and the field is measured in V/m.
- For industrial products, we shall comply to 10V/m in the range 30MHz to 2GHz; 3V/m in the range 2GHz to 6GHz
- During the test, the product shall continue to work without any issue when the field is applied without any condition of duration with the antenna positioned vertically, then horizontally, in front of the products, and two sides and back.
- When we do our tests on the M340 range, we make a sweep @15V/m from 80MHz to 3GHz.

In conclusion, there is a risk if the power of the walkie-talkie is over 5W and distance below 1 meter.

Today, Vijeo Designer V6.2 only supports one PLC model in the Siemens LOGO! series. This model is the OBA7. Currently the only driver available is the Siemens TCP/IP Ethernet driver.

To add this to your application,

1) Create a new target (HMIGTO)
2) Goto the I/O Manager and
3) Right click and select "New Driver"
4) In the dialog, select "Siemens AG" as the Manufacturer
5) For driver, select "SIMATIC S7 Ethernet"
6) For equipment, select "LOGO! OBA7"
7) Enter the IP address for the PLC in the Equipment Configuration dialog box that appears.

Regarding the different device address types. Here is a brief explanation of what they are used for:

V --> Variable memory bit address
E --> Input memory bit address
A --> Output memory bit address
M --> Memory bit address
VW --> Variable memory word address
EW --> Input memory word address
AW  ---> Output memory word address
MW  ---> Memory word address

These are the different types of memory registers available on the Siemens LOGO! OBA7

Depending on the type of variable you want to create, you would do the following:

use V, E, A, M for BIT or BOOLEAN variables
use VW, EW, AW, MW for Integer, Real, or String variables

Issue:
The time stamp of the alarm in the Alarm Summary screen object is not correct in a Magelis / Harmony HMI running Vijeo Designer Runtime, what could be the issue?

Product Line:
Harmony HMIGTO/GTU/STO/STU, iPC, Box PC, Panel PC
Magelis XBTGC/GH/GK/GT
Vijeo Designer Runtime

Environment:
Physical Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)

Cause:
The Alarm takes it's time from the System clock of the HMI.  If the system clock is not in the same time zone or clock is set incorrectly, then the time stamp on the Alarm will be incorrect.

Resolution:
For non-Windows HMI, touch-and-release the bottom-left of the screen, then 0.7 to 1.5s afterwards, touch the top-right corner of the screen (this is called the "Two corner method" in the Vijeo Designer software Help). This will bring you to the System Configuration menu which will allow you to set the Clock from the "Clock" option.

For Windows-based HMI, you must set the clock from the Windows OS.

Issue:
The Magelis target is not logging the datalogging file to the CF or SD card, why?

Product Line:
XBTGT/GK, HMIGTO/GTU/STO/STU, Magelis, datalog, compact flash card

Resolution:
There are couple reasons why the datalogging files are not logged to the CF or SD card of the Magelis.  Please check the following:
1 - In the datalogging group, under Variable Storage tab the Type is set for SRAM & File.
2 - Confirm that in Data Locations, Runtime data files are set to Secondary Drive.
3 - Go into the Runtime Configuration screen, under memory from the Online Tab it shows the Magelis recognizes the CF/SD card for Secondary Drive.

If you have confirmed the following, please call Technical Support for further assistance.

Quantum 140CPS11100 power supply not powering up out of box.

Product line:
Quantum

Cause:
No power at initial power up .

Resolution:
The Quantum 140CPS11100 power supply that has a PV 01 or higher require a jumper on pins 3 and 4 on the terminal strip for 115 VAC operations. If this jumper is not installed, it will be set for 220 VAC operations. Any power supply with a PV less than 1 did not require the jumpers.

The objective of this FAQ is to clarify the help in UnityPro, concerning the redundant power supplies.

We choose by exemple, the power supply ref 140CPS12420.
The output current of the 140CPS12420 is limited to 10 amp.
If a customers required a Quantum configuration with 16 amp in the rack, with a redundant power cycle system,  The solution consists to configure three power supplies 140CPS12420  in the rack.

If you unstall three power supply 140CPS12420 in a rack the load (16 amp) will be share on the three power supplies.  (5.3 amp each).
If one of the power supply fails then the load will be share with the two power supplies available (8 amp each). But at this moment, the redundancy will not be available because if a second power supply fails, the single power supply remains would not be able to deliver 16 amp.

So the solution for the customer is to unstall three 140CPS12420 in the rack.

Configuration of broken wire detection on the BMXAMO0210, BMXAMO0410, BMXAMO0802, or BMXAMM0600

Product Line
EcoStruxure Control Expert (Formally Unity Pro)

Resolution
Please take the following steps.
This is an example for the BMXAMO0210 Analog Output module.

  1. Open EcoStruxure Control Expert / Unity Pro
  2. Add a BMXAMO0210 module into an empty slot from the PLC bus screen.
    Note: In the case of an M580 PLC, it must be added using Topological Addressing rather than automatic IODDT Variable creation.
  3. Identify and remember the Topological Address of the analog module, we will need to use this in creating the Channel Status Variable. If the Analog module was inserted into the first rack (0), in slot 1 next to the PLC's CPU module, then the topological address would be '0.1'
  4. Go to the Project Browser under Variables & FB Instances
  5. Right-click on IO Derived Variables and then select Open
  6. Double-click in an empty cell under the Name column
  7. Enter a name of the channel that you wish to use Broken-Wire detection for (for example "AMO0210_Ch0")
  8. In the same row, under "Address", type in the Topological Channel Address with the notation "%CHx.y.z"
    where,
      x is the Rack Number,
      y is the Slot Number and
      z is the Channel Number.
    So if the Analog module was inserted into the first rack (0), in slot 1 next to the PLC's CPU module, and you wish to see the status of broken-wire detection on Channel 0, then enter "%CH0.1.0".
  9. In the same row, under "Type", double-click and type "T_ANA_OUT_BMX". This IODDT Structure Type is a representation of the status values from the channel of the Analog module.
  10. Close the Data Editor to accept the changes.
  11. From the PLC bus view, double-click (or Right-click Open) the AMO module to open its screen. Here, you will see that the Channel will be named the same name as you entered in Step 7 "AMO0210_Ch0".
  12. Check the checkbox under "Wiring CTRL" to activate broken-wire detection for the channel
  13. In a Program Subroutine, assign the channel variable "AMO0210_Ch0" to a the 'CH' Input Pin of a function block instance of READ_STS

The setup will now be complete.
When the program is running on the PLC, the state of the BOOLEAN element AMO_0210_Ch0.ACT_WIRE_FLT will show TRUE when a broken-wire condition occurs and can be observed in an Animation Table.

Goals and Symptoms

How to transfer a Vijeo designer project from a PC with the OS Win 7 (64 bits) to a target type Magelis XBTGT1000 serie using XBTZG925 cable?

Facts and Changes

When using Vijeo Designer V6.1 installed on a PC with the OS Windows 7 (64 bit) and a XBTGT1100 terminal : the problem is that we cannot install the XBTZG925 cable driver.

Causes and Fixes

This is a limitation. There is only a Win XP XBTZG925 cable driver.

The reason is that Marketing decided that the target type XBTGT1000 serie End Of Commercialization and End Of Service will be in end of 2012.
The solutions are:
1/ either edit the Vijeo designer project on a PC with Win XP Pro,
2/ either replace the XBTGT1000 serie by a terminal type XBTGT1005 serie,
3/ or replace the XBTGT1000 serie by a terminal type XBTGTO
Note that solutions 2/ & 3/ with new terminals are less expansive and higher quality.
