Figure 624: Self-supervision event list in local HMI
A self-supervision summary can be obtained by means of an output relay with potential free alarm
contact (INTERNAL FAIL) located on the power supply module. This contact is closed when the IED
either does not have auxiliary power, or when one or more error conditions are present in the IED
(for example harware error).
Some output signals are available from the INTERRSIG function block. The signals from this
function block are sent as events via IEC61850 to the station level of the control system. These
signals can also be connected to binary outputs for signalization via output relays or they can be
used as conditions for other functions if required/desired.
Individual error signals from I/O modules can be obtained from respective module in the Signal
Matrix tool. Error signals from time synchronization can be obtained from the INTERRSIG function
block via two outputs TSYNCERR and RTCERR .
20.5.5.1 Internal signals
Self supervision provides several status signals that give information about the internal status of
the IED. For this reason they are also called internal signals. These internal signals , available on
local HMI under Main menu/Diagnostics/IED status/General, can be divided into two groups.
• Standard signals are always presented in the IED, see table 949.
• Hardware dependent internal signals are collected depending on the hardware configuration,
see table 950.
