Hardware selector switches are used extensively by utilities, in order to have different
functions operating on pre-set values. Hardware switches are however sources for
maintenance issues, lower system reliability and extended purchase portfolio. The virtual
selector switches eliminate all these problems.
SLGAPC function block has two operating inputs (UP and DOWN), one blocking input (BLOCK)
and one operator position input (PSTO).
SLGAPC can be activated both from the local HMI and from external sources (switches), via the
IED binary inputs. It also allows the operation from remote (like the station computer).
SWPOSN is an integer value output, giving the actual output number. Since the number of
positions of the switch can be established by settings (see below), one must be careful in
coordinating the settings with the configuration (if one sets the number of positions to x in
settings – for example, there will be only the first x outputs available from the block in the
configuration). Also the frequency of the (UP or DOWN) pulses should be lower than the
setting
From the local HMI, the selector switch can be operated from Single-line diagram (SLD).

Setting guidelines

The following settings are available for the Logic rotating switch for function selection and
LHMI presentation (SLGAPC) function:
Operation : Sets the operation of the function On or Off .
NrPos : Sets the number of positions in the switch (max. 32).
OutType : Steady or Pulsed .
tPulse : In case of a pulsed output, it gives the length of the pulse (in seconds).
tDelay : The delay between the UP or DOWN activation signal positive front and the output
activation.
StopAtExtremes : Sets the behavior of the switch at the end positions – if set to Disabled , when
pressing UP while on first position, the switch will jump to the last position; when pressing
DOWN at the last position, the switch will jump to the first position; when set to
jump will be allowed.

Application

Selector mini switch (VSGAPC) function is a multipurpose function used in the configuration
tool in PCM600 for a variety of applications, as a general purpose switch. VSGAPC can be used
for both acquiring an external switch position (through the IPOS1 and the IPOS2 inputs) and
