3.18. General description of the outputs

The Advanced Power Controller is extremely flexible with
regard to the control of its physical outputs, allowing it to
be used in sophisticated applications.
To assign a particular function to a physical output, you
must:
1.
Allocate the desired function to one of the internal
reference signals rL.1 .. . rL.6.
2.
Allocate the appropriate reference signal to parameters
out.1 . .. out.10 (corresponding to the physical outputs
OUT1 ... OUT10).
In standard configuration, the physical outputs OUT1,
OUT2 and OUT3 perform the control function for the
GPC-M, GPC-E1 and GPC-E2 respectively.
The reference signals rL.1 of each module are assigned
the value 0 (Ou.P function) and the output parameters are
assigned the following values:
out.1 = 1 (output rL.1 GPC-M),
out.2 = 2 (output rL.1 GPC-E1),
out.3 = 3 (output rL.1 GPC-E2).
The physical outputs OUT5, OUT6, OUT7 and OUT8 are
optional relay, logic and analog outputs.
In standard configuration these outputs perform the HB
alarm function for GPC-M, GPC-E1 and GPC-E2 respec-
tively.
In this configuration the rL.2 reference signals of each
module are assigned the values 2, 3 and 4 and the output
parameters the following values
out.5 = 5 (GPC-M rL.2 output),
out.6 = 6 (GPC-E1 rL.2 output),
out.7 = 7 (GPC-E2 rL.2 output).
The two relay outputs OUT9 and OUT10, which are pro-
grammed via the corresponding parameters out.9 and
out.10, are always present and are assigned to user-defina-
ble custom status programmed only with GF_eXpress.
The standard configuration of the outputs has the follow-
ing parameter assignments:
Reference signals:
– rL.3 = 2 (AL1 function),
– rL.4 = 35 (inverted AL2 function),
– rL.5 = 4 (AL3 function),
– rL.6 = 160 (active forced output function).
Output parameters:
– out.9 = 31,
– out.10 = 31.
In this way, the default status of physical output OUT9 and
OUT10 are given by the OR logical operator of each ena-
bled modules alarm.
The "Overtemperature alarm" setting includes the following
alarms, which are distinct for each module:
:
81901 "MSW_GPC-40/600A"_03-2021_ENG_page 82
Overtemperature for SCR or LINE terminal or LOAD
terminal, STATUS4 bit 1 (OVER_HEAT).
Temperature sensor failure for SCR or LINE terminal or
LOAD terminal, STATUS4 bit 0 (TEMPERATURE_SEN-
SOR_BROKEN).
Hardware overtemperature for SCR, STATUS4 bit 14
(HW_OVER_HEAT).
The "Device not ready" setting (DEVICE_NOT_READY)
includes the following alarms:
Temperature alarm (OVER_HEAT or TEMPERATURE_
SENSOR_BROKEN or HW_OVER_HEAT).
Short-circuit current alarm during softstart (SHORT_
CIRCUIT_CURRENT).
Faulty CT sensor alarm (CURRENT_SENSOR_BRO-
KEN).
Invalid operating mode set on DIP switches (MODE_
ERROR).
Interlock.
The function of each individual output can be disabled by
setting the relevant parameter out.x = 0.
The status of outputs OUT1...OUT10 can be acquired by
serial communication using bit variables.
The following configuration parameters are also linked to
the outputs:
Ct.1, i.e., the cycle time for control output rL.1. For
further information, see paragraph "3.19.2. OUT cycle
time".
The following functional diagram shows the parameter pro-
cessing sequence for control of the outputs.
NOTE: Out 4 does not exist.
