Testing the protection functionality

Each protection function must be tested individually by secondary injection.
• Verify operating levels (trip) and timers.
• Verify alarm and blocking signals.
• Use the disturbance handling tool in PCM600 to evaluate that the protection function has
received the correct data and responded correctly (signaling and timing).
• Use the event viewer tool in PCM600 to check that only expected events have occurred.

Forcing of binary I/O signals for testing

10.8.1

Forcing concept

Forcing of binary inputs and outputs is a convenient way to test wiring in substations as well as
testing configuration logic in the IEDs. Basically it means that all binary inputs and outputs on the
IED I/O modules (BOM, BIM, IOM & SOM) can be set to a value (i.e active or not-active), selected by
the user, while the IED is in test mode. For inputs, this is true regardless of the actual signal
voltage present on the input. For outputs, any output relay can be forced to be active or not,
regardless of the current requested state of the output in the IED logic configuration.
