DSE8X10 MSC CONNECTION STATUS

NOTE: The MSC ID is configured only using the DSE Configuration Suite Software. For
further details, refer to DSE Publication: 057-238 DSE8610 MKII Configuration Suite PC
Software Manual.
NOTE: Depending on the module's configuration, the MSC ID is set automatically or
manually. For further details, refer to DSE Publication: 057-238 DSE8610 MKII Configuration
Suite PC Software Manual.
Every module connected on the MSC link has a unique MSC ID.
The MSC ID is set automatically or manually depending on the Disable Auto ID Allocation option in
the DSE module's configuration.
When the Disable Auto ID Alllocation option is not enabled in the DSE module's configuration, the
MSC ID is automatically set when all the modules are powered up one at a time. If all the modules are
powered up together, this may result in the MSC ID Error alarm activating.
Manually setting the MSC ID using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software's SCADA allows this
alarm to be reset and prevents this from occurring. It also has the benefit of being able to determine
which module on the MSC link has a communication issue.
When the Disable Auto ID Alllocation option is enabled in the DSE module's configuration, the MSC
ID is assigned to the configured MSC ID value when the module is powered up. Take note to enable
this option in all the DSE modules if to be used, ensuring that each DSE module has a unique MSC
ID.
This display screen shows this module's MSC ID and shows which MSC IDs are currently
communicating on the MSC link by the number 1 indication. MSC IDs that are currently not
communicating or not connected are indicated by the number 0. If the MSC ID for each module is
known, this display screen can be used to determine which module is not communcating on the MSC
link. The shaded numbers indicate the generators on load.
The small numbers (32 & 1) on the top-left and bottom-right of the screen represent the MSC ID
orders.
