Preface 1 Preface The purpose of this manual is to familiarize users with the CMC 850 test set and to show how to properly use it in various application areas. The manual contains important tips on how to use CMC 850 safely, properly, and efficiently. Its purpose is to help you avoid danger, repair costs, and down time as well as to help maintain the reliability and life of CMC 850.
If CMC 850 is opened by unauthorized personnel, all guarantees are invalidated. • Connect the CMC 850 low level outputs LL out 1-6, LL out 7-12 and “external Interface” only to external devices that meet the requirements for low level equipment according to EN 60950 or IEC 60950.
OMICRON test sets are subject to the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE directive). As part of our legal obligations under this legislation, OMICRON offers to take back the OMICRON test set and ensure that it is disposed of by authorized recycling agents. For Customers Outside the EEA Please contact the competent authorities for the relevant environmental regulations in your country and dispose of the OMICRON test set only in accordance with your local legal requirements.
NET-2 interface board to be installed in the test set (→ 5.2.1 "ETH1 and ETH2 Ports"). With a NET-2 board, a CMC 850 test set can work with up to 4 Sampled Values streams and GOOSEs simultaneously via both ETH ports.
Functionality 4.3 Time Synchronization • NTP - Network Time Protocol. CMC 850 operates as a client to an NTP server. The time obtained this way is, for example, used for time stamping GOOSE messages. • PTP - Precision Time Protocol.
Since CMC 850 can be controlled over a network, any distance between the controlling computer and the test set is possible. This enables direct remote control of CMC 850, e.g., for end-to-end testing. The Ethernet ports also provide the basis for the processing of substation protocols according to the IEC 61850 standard.
The lower USB port (USB type B) at the CMC test set’s standard interface NET-2 board holds a USB port to connect CMC 850 to your computer. To ensure the required EMC compatibility, we strongly recommend to use the OMICRON-supplied cable, only.
CMC 850 User Manual 5.2.5 Status LED A, B The status LED A and B are of interest in case of troubleshooting. A: yellow status LED • A lit yellow LED indicates that the test set is ready to be controlled by a computer. The hardware checks in the test set are finished, and the test set is properly connected to a computer or a network.
For communication of CMC 850 with the controlling PC and the OMICRON Test Universe software, TCP/IP is used. The IP parameters are set by OMICRON Device Link. CMC 850 can either be set to static IP addresses or use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and AutoIP/APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing).
To use the OMICRON-supplied CMIRIG-B interface unit as reference for the a time synchronization of the IEC 61850 bus system, connect the CMIRIG-B‘s front side connector “CMC” to the CMC 850‘s “external Interface” connector. This provides both the IRIG-B or PPS reference signal to CMC 850 and...
Connections and Interfaces 5.5 LL out 1 - 6 and LL out 7 - 12 (Low Level Outputs) The interface connectors “LL out 1 - 6” and “LL out 7 - 12” hold a total of 12 independent high accuracy analog signal outputs. These Test Universe-controlled signal sources can serve to either drive external amplifiers or to directly provide small signal outputs.

7.4 Technical Data of the Communication Ports An overview: A CMC 850 test set’s standard interface board is the NET-2 board that, in addition to ETH1, ETH2 and USB, provides one extra USB port for the use of USB peripherals, such as memory sticks, etc.
Technical Data 7.4.2 The NET-1C Board NET-1C: USB port and Ethernet ports ETH1/ETH2 USB type USB 2.0 full speed up to 12 Mbit/s USB connector USB type B (connect to computer) USB cable 2 m/6 ft USB 2.0 high speed type A-B ETH type 10/100Base-TX (10/100Mbit, twisted pair, auto-MDI/MDIX or auto- crossover)
• 14400 Hz - 6 samples per packet Synchronization Synchronization attribute (smpSynch) can be set when CMC 850 is in synchronized operation mode utilizing CMIRIG-B, PTP. Sample count (smpCnt) zero is aligned with top of the second (IRIG-B and PPS).
85 mm x 145 mm x 325 mm (3.3 ” x 5.7 ” x 12.8 ”) Housing IP20 according to EN 60529. 7.11 Cleaning To clean CMC 850, use a cloth dampened with isopropanol alcohol. Prior to cleaning, always switch off the power switch and unplug the external power supply unit.
CMC 850 User Manual 7.12 Safety Standards, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Certificates CE Conformity, Requirements The product adheres to the specifications of the guidelines of the council of the European Community for meeting the requirements of the member states regarding the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU and the low voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.
