timesynchronization

There are 3 signals that monitors state related to time synchronization:
• TSYNCERR signal on the TIMEERR function block. This signal will go high whenever internal
timeQuality goes above the setting SyncAccLevel ( 4us in this case) and this will block the
protection functions.. This will happen max 4 seconds after an interruption of the PPS
fiber from the MU (or if the
• SYNCH signal on the MU1_4I_4U function block indicates when protection functions are
blocked due to loss of internal time synchronization to the IED (that is loss of the
hardware
• MUSYNCH signal on the MU_4I_4U function block monitor the synchronization from the
MU (in the datastream). When the MU indicates loss of time synchronization this signal
will go high. In this case the MU is set to master so it can not loose time synchronization.
The SMPLLOSTsignal will of course also be interesting since this indicate blocking due to
missing analog data (interruption of IEC 61850-9-2LE fiber), although this has nothing to do
with time synchronization.
