5.7 CONTROL ELEMENTS
• LINE END OPEN PICKUP DELAY: This setting defines the pickup value for validation of the line end open conditions
as detected by the line pickup logic via the
dition is a requirement for the directional comparison unblocking scheme to return a received echo signal (if the echo
feature is enabled).
The value of this setting should take into account the principle of operation and settings of the line pickup element,
which should thus be enabled.
• DCUB LOG PICKUP DELAY: This setting represents the directional comparison unblocking duration time delay, and is
the amount of time that the loss-of-guard without receipt of permissive trip must be present before the logic provides
permission to operate if a forward fault is detected. It is set relatively short, but long enough to ride through the transi-
tion period of loss-of-guard with the receipt of a permissive signal that occurs with a normal trip. Typical setting values
are from 4 to 32 ms. For most cases, a value of 8 ms may be used.
The tripping or unblocking window for loss-of-guard without permission is the difference between the
and

8 ms after loss-of-guard was received, when the
scheme has permission to operate if a forward fault is sensed, and no reverse faults or transient blocking.
• GUARD HEALTHY RESET DELAY: This setting represents the guard healthy security time delay, and is the time after
the channel is restored that the guard signal must be present before the directional comparison unblocking scheme is
put back in service. This reset timer allows the scheme to ride through any chattering in the channel. Typical values are
from 100 to 500 ms, with a value of 150 ms commonly used.
• DCUB LOG TRIP WINDOW: This setting represents the directional comparison unblocking lockout time delay, and is
the amount of time from when any loss-of-guard signal is received until the directional comparison unblocking scheme
is locked out without the presence of any
expires, creating a blocking signal for all scheme functions and disabling the scheme until the guard signal is restored

• DCUB NO OF COMM BITS: This setting specifies the number of bits available on the communications channel for the
scheme. With only one bit available, the scheme sends the direct under-reaching transfer trip command on bit 1 (
operand) and responds to the direct trip command received on bit 1 (

local fault type identification provided by the phase selector to assert the
output operands (see Chapter 8: Theory of Operation for details on the use of communication channels).

• DCUB RX1 through DCUB RX4: These settings allow the user to select the FlexLogic operands to represent the per-
mission receive signals for the scheme. Contact inputs interfacing with a signaling system(s) are typically used. These
settings must be used in conjunction with the loss-of-guard signals, otherwise the scheme will not unblock and thus fail
to operate.

• DCUB LOG1 through DCUB LOG4: These settings allow the user to select the FlexLogic operands to represent the
loss-of-guard receive signals for the scheme. Contact inputs interfacing with a signaling system(s) are typically used.
Each loss-of-guard signal must correspond to the same receive signal from the same communications channel (that is,
and must be from the same communications channel, and the same for channels 2, 3 and 4, if used).
