Ceiec Electric Technology Chapter 4 Applications 4.1 Inputs and Outputs 4.1.1 Digital Inputs The PMC-53 optionally provides two self-excited Digital Inputs that are internally wetted at 24 VDC. Digital Inputs are typically used for monitoring external status which can help prevent equipment damage, improve maintenance, and track security breaches.
Ceiec Electric Technology Control has the highest priority and can override any other applications. Next in the priority list is Remote Control. I residual Setpoints, Temperature Setpoint and Digital Input Setpoints share the same priority, meaning that they can all be programmed to control the same Digital Output. This scheme is equivalent to having an implicit Logical OR operation for the control of a Digital Output and may be useful in providing a generic alarm output signal.
Ceiec Electric Technology Figure 4-1 I Residual Connections 4.1.5 Temperature Input The PMC-53 optionally provides a RTD Temperature Input along with an external RTD Temperature Sensor (see Appendix C) to provide temperature measurement. The outputs of the Temperature Sensor are connected to the Temperature Input of the PMC-53 if so equipped. The Temperature Input provides accurate temperature monitoring and is mainly used for measuring the temperature of the Neutral Conductor, Transformer or other equipment that requires temperature monitoring.
Ceiec Electric Technology Active Energy kWh Import kWh Export Reactive Energy kvarh Import kvarh Export Apparent Energy kVAh Total Table 4-1 Energy 4.2.3 Demands Demand is defined as the average power consumption over a fixed interval (usually 15 minutes). The PMC-53 supports the sliding window demand calculation for Ia, Ib, Ic, kW Total, kvar Total and kVA Total.
Ceiec Electric Technology Setpoint Limit: Specifies the value that the setpoint parameter must exceed for Over Setpoint or go below for Under Setpoint for the setpoint to become active. The Setpoint Return Limit is 0.95xSetpoint Limit for Over Setpoint and 1.05xSetpoint Limit for Under Setpoint. Setpoint Delay: Specifies the minimum duration in seconds that the setpoint condition must be met before the setpoint becomes active.

Ceiec Electric Technology When the residual current sensor is not connected, the value in register 40078 is 0x7FFF. When the temperature sensor was broken or not connected, the value in register 40079 is 30000. When the temperature is below -40°C, the value in register 40079 is -400. The Alarm register indicates the various alarm states with a bit value of 1 meaning active and 0 meaning inactive.
