1.1 About this document

This document describes implementation of the interface protocol IEC60870-5-103 for the TAPCON® 240.

Read this description along with the technical file for the TAPCON® 240.

1.2 Information about the standard

The <Communication protocol> interface protocol was originally developed for communication between protective devices. The pre-defined function types and associated information numbers are not suitable for the information that the voltage regulator has to transfer.

A function type from the "private sphere" of the protocol is therefore used for all "non-generic data points".

The information numbers for all general commands and messages with the function type from the "private sphere" are specific.

Analog values are transferred in the control direction (command) and monitor-ing direction (message) using a generic message type. All measured values are assigned to class 2 and all parameters to class 1.

In addition to the 9.6 and 19.2 kilobaud rates required by the standard, baud rates of 38.4 and 57.6 kilobauds can also be selected on the voltage regula-tor.

Each SI command sets a flag in the TAPCON® 240. The status of the flags can be used like an input for the I/O or UC modules to activate or deactivate a TAPCON® 240 function. Example: If the "Parallel group input" parameter is set to "SI:cmd1" for two TAPCON® 240, parallel control for these TAPCON® 240 can be activated or deactivated by setting the "SI command 1" on/off command for both TAPCON® 240.

Figure 2 Sample command for time synchronization

After time synchronization, the voltage regulator returns the time synchroniza-tion feedback as positive confirmation. The reason for transmission is set to 8.

These time details are only used for display purposes in the TAPCON®trol vi-sualization software; internally the regulator uses a continuous RTC.

The time stamp in the regulator's telegrams is produced by the communica-tion card and is only set when the telegram is sent.

Some of the tap positions in the sample telegrams selected are different in or-der to show examples with different values. The same tap position is normally reported in all three telegrams.

6.3 Setting time and date settings

The TAPCON® 240 has a counter module which counts the number of seconds after the supply voltage fails. Its supply is buffered by a large capaci-tor such that it continues to count for at least a few days even if the TAP-CON® 240 is switched off.

The time and date are set using an offset value which is converted into the time and date displayed in the measured value plotter screen along with the current counter reading.

The interface software sends the time and date from the IEC103 time syn-chronization telegram to the actual CPU with the regulator firmware. The regulator firmware uses this information to calculate the new offset value to display for time and date in the measured value plotter screen.

The counter in the TAPCON® 240 counts whole seconds. Because the fig-ures are rounded up or down, the time displayed in the measured value plot-ter screen may deviate from the time in the time synchronization telegram.

The TAPCON® 240's time and date will only be set from the control system's time synchronization telegram if both the interface software and firmware in the regulator support this.

The telegrams' time stamp at the interface is not affected by the setting for the time displayed by the TAPCON® 240. This time stamp is produced locally on the CIC card itself.
