    1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this document This document describes the universal measurement device for heavy-current quantities A . It is PLUS intended to be used by: • Installation personnel and commissioning engineers • Service and maintenance personnel • Planners Scope This handbook is valid for all hardware versions of the A with TFT display.
  • Page 6: Security Notes

Check the following points before commissioning: – that the maximum values for all the connections are not exceeded, see "Technical data" section, –...
  • Page 7: Possible Modes Of Operation

    3.2 Possible modes of operation The A can cover a wide range of possible input ranges without any hardware variance. The adaption PLUS to the input signal is performed by means of variable amplifying levels for current and voltage inputs. Depending on the application it makes sense to fix these levels by means of the configuration or to let them stay variable to achieve a maximum accuracy during measurement.
  • Page 8: Monitoring And Alarming

    3.3 Monitoring and alarming The logic module integrated in the A is a powerful feature to monitor critical situations without delay PLUS on device side. By implementing this local intelligence a safe monitoring can be realized which is independent of the readiness of the control system. 3.3.1 Alarming concept How alarms are handled is decided during the configuration of the device.

  • Page 10: Logic Components

    3.3.2 Logic components The logic outputs are calculated via a two level logical combination of states, which are present at the inputs. Usable components are AND, OR and XOR gates as well as their inversions NAND, NOR and XNOR. The principal function of the logical gates is given in the following table, for simplicity shown for gates with two inputs only.
  • Page 11: Limit Values

    3.3.3 Limit values States of limit values are the most important input quantities of the logic module. Depending on the application, limits either monitor the exceeding of a given value (upper limit) or the fall below a given value (lower limit). Limits are defined by means of two parameters, the limit for the ON and the limit for the OFF state.
  • Page 12: Sequence Of Evaluation

    3.3.4 Sequence of evaluation The evaluation of the logic module is performed from top to bottom and from left to right: 1. Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 2. Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 3. D1, D2, D3, D4 4. A1, A2, A3, A4 ►...
  • Page 13: Free Modbus Image

    3.4 Free Modbus image Accessing measured data of a Modbus device often needs some special effort, if the interesting measurements are stored in different, non continuous register areas. This way multiple telegrams must be sent to the device to read all data. This needs time and it's very likely, that the measurements don't originate from the same measurement cycle.

  • Page 22: Power Supply

    5.6 Power supply A marked and easily accessible current limiting switch has to be arranged in the vicinity of the device for turning off the power supply. Fusing should be 10 Amps or less and must be rated for the available voltage and fault current. 5.7 Relays When the device is switched off the relay contacts are de-energized, but dangerous voltages may be present.
  • Page 23: Digital Inputs And Outputs

    5.8 Digital inputs and outputs For the digital inputs / outputs an external power supply of 12 / 24V DC is required. The power supply shall not exceed 30V DC ! The plug-in terminal X7 is available for device versions with I/O extension PCB only.
  • Page 24 Electronic meters are partly capable to detect pulses in the kHz range. There are the types NPN (active negative edge) and PNP (active positive edge). For the APLUS a PNP type is required. The 1) Recommended if input pulse width has to be at least 30ms (acc. EN62053-31). The delay impedance between to pulses corresponds at least to the pulse width.

  • Page 27: Commissioning

    6. Commissioning Before commissioning you have to check if the connection data of the transducer match the data of the plant (see nameplate). If so, you can start to put the device into operation by switching on the power supply and the measurement inputs.
  • Page 28: Parametrization Of The Device Functionality

    6.2 Parametrization of the device functionality Operating the software The device configuration is divided into registers, which contain thematically the different function blocks of the device, e.g. "input", "limit values", "display". Thereby of course there are interdependencies, which have to be considered. If e.g. a current limit value is defined and subsequently the ratio of the current transformer is changed, there is a high probability that the limit value is changed as well.
  • Page 29: Installation Check

    ONLINE / OFFLINE The parametrization may be performed ONLINE (with existing connection to the device) or OFFLINE (without connection to the device). To perform an ONLINE configuration first the configuration of the connected device, and therewith its hardware version, is read. A modified configuration can then be downloaded to the device and stored on the hard disk of the computer for archiving.
