Additional explanations to the integrated alarm sequeces can be found in the separate document „Alarm sequences of EES-Fault annunciators“ (SM-MA-ZI-UK). 3.2 Internal Relays cards (optional) The optionally integrated relay cards (8 NO contacts each) are independent from the 4 function relays of the annunciator and can be assigned the following functions: 1.
Functional description 3.3 Dual power supply (optional) Independent from the primary power supply, a second, redundant power supply can be integrated into the fault annunciator. Two different voltage variants are available: 24 – 60 V AC/DC 110 – 220 V AC/DC The voltage level of the redundant power supply can be chosen independently from the voltage level of the primary power supply.

These contain the following interfaces: Card 1 (always equipped) Card 2 (optionally equipped) ...
Functional description SCADA SCADA SCADA In this application example, the USM annunciators act as acquisition devices which process and display alarms locally. In addition, the alarms are forwarded to the SCADA level through IEC 60870-5-101 or -104.

Parameterisation After login the first page is opened. Fig. 5.2: Start page of the USM Web-server, tab reporting channel Next to the EES logo the menu bar contains the three main menus: Language Parameter Configuration and the symbol bar consisting of five buttons: The buttons have the following functions: ...
Parameterisation In the main window the menu “Parameter / Master-device” is already opened. The parameterisation could be started straight away. In this manual though, the single menus will be explained first in the order of their appearance in the menu bar. Some parameterisation pages are structured by different tabs and contain additional buttons.
Parameterisation Master-device / Slave-device 1..3 (Annunciator functionalities) Reporting channel Reporting sequence Push buttons & function inputs Function relays Repeat relays LED-colour settings Group protocols IEC 61850 IEC 60870-5-101/104 In this manual only the parameterisation settings in the group „System“ are described. For explanation of the settings in the group „Protocol“, please refer to the separate interface descriptions IEC 60870-5-101/104 and/or IEC 61850.
Parameterisation Sub-menu Monitor The page monitor offers diagnostics for the WAP. On this page the LEDs of the annunciator are displayed with their current status (flashing, steady light, off). Fig. 5.6: Monitor – a diagnosis tool If the annunciator is used within a cascaded annunciator system, each of the devices can be displayed in the monitor by click on the respective radio button „Annunciator 0…3“.

Parameterisation Fig. 5.7: Example of a cascaded annunciator system Please note that the slave devices have to be set to slave-mode by DIP-Switch and the respective slave addresses (1…3) have to be defined. Fig. 5.8: Submenu New/adapt After selection of the required annunciator type from the respective drop down menu, the device will automatically be added to the parameterisation.
Parameterisation The added slave devices now can be found in the menu „Parameter“ as items „Slave-device 1…3“. The menu of each of the slave devices resembles the menu „Master-device“. The tab „reporting sequence“ is not available for the slave devices since the sequence is identical with the master device. Fig.
IP address as well as port number of the service need to be defined. If a Universal Annunciation Server (USS) from EES is used within the network, this can provide a time- server. To use the USS’ time server, please enter the USS IP address instead of the server name.
Parameterisation If the USM provides two network interfaces, the two IP addresses have to be in separate networks. Otherwise the annunciator might not be addressable through network anymore. IP-Address IP-Adress of the fault annunciator in the local network. This address is used for communication to a client (SCADA system or USS) and for parameterisation.
Parameterisation 5.2.3.4 Submenu Error mask Fig. 5.12: Submenu Error mask In this menu the handling of device errors can be defined. Blinkcode and Description The entries in this field cannot be edited and show the blinkcode and the corresponding error in clear text.
The USM provides communication through the protocol IEC 60870-5-101/104 by default. Optionally the annunciator can provide communication through IEC 61850. For this communication a software licence is required. If the licence has not been installed by EES, the license file can be installed from this page after being provided by EES.

Parameterisation 5.2.4.3 Submenu Buttons & Function inputs On this page, the specified functions can be assigned to the push buttons 1…6 and the function inputs 1&2. Multiple allocations are possible. The designations of the buttons in the line „Label“ will automatically be adopted in the labelling strips and can be printed from the page „reporting channels“.
Parameterisation 5.2.4.4 Submenu Relay (function relays) On this page the assignment of the 4 function relays to different annunciation functions, buttons or function inputs can be defined. Fig. 5.17: Page Relay The assignment is done in a matrix – the lines are representing the triggering events (e.g. pushing a button) and the columns are representing the relays.
Parameterisation 5.2.4.5 Submenu Repeat relays Fig. 5.18: Page repeat relays The optionally integrated repeat relay cards (8 NO contacts each) are independent from the 4 function relays described in the previous section. Only the relays as available in the hardware to be parameterised will be displayed. For each relay the following definitions can be made: Inputs Here the trigger for the relay can be defined.
Parameterisation 5.2.4.6 Submenu LED-colour selection Fig. 5.19: Page LED-colour On this page the LED colours for the operation modes “operation indication” and “fault annunciation” of each channel can be defined. Operation indication For both states OFF and ON the LED can be triggered as follows: LED OFF or colour: RED, GREEN.

Excel-files (e.g data point lists). In this case it is useful to transfer this information to a template and import it into the annunciator. EES provides a template that can be filled in and processed with common procedures. With the Excel file the parameters for the alarm channels, repeat relays and IEC objects can be imported into the WAP.
Parameterisation Delay times / Defluttering „debounce time“ 0 – 1000 ms „response delay“ delay time from 0ms .. 32400s (9h), up to 30s in pattern of 1ms, any longer times in pattern of 1s.
