This chapter gives a checklist of items to check and confirm during the engineering phase. The complete test specification depends on the network topology and used system components.
Note: Check the configuration and settings with real system load and topology.
Note: In the Measurement view of the SMV receive, the voltage values in brackets indicate an invalid or a questionable measurement.
| Item | Description | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Missing sender | Disable the SMV sender via Configuration/Communication/ Ethernet/SMVSENDER and verify the expected handling in receivers. In the SMV receives's Measurement view, the voltage values should be in brackets indicating invalid or questionable measurement. If The SMVSENDER is disabled from the LHMI, it can only be enabled from the LHMI. Thus, in this situation a configuration write from PCM600 does not enable the SMVSENDER. | |
| Internal fault test | Force internal fault in the sender via Tests/IED test and check that the receiving devices behave as expected. |
SMV receive monitored data is available in three locations.
- Monitoring/I/O status/Analog inputs
- Monitoring/IED status/SMV traffic
- Monitoring/IED status/SMV accuracy
| Item | Description | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| WARNING | WARNING (Monitoring/I/O status/Analog inputs/ Voltage(3U,VT)) works as specified in the Application Configuration tool. Necessary special handling considered in the Application Configuration tool logics. WARNING is active when the IED starts. | |
| ALARM | ALARM (Monitoring/I/O status/Analog inputs/Voltage(3U,VT)) works as specified in the Application Configuration tool. Necessary special handling considered in the Application Configuration tool logics. ALARM is active when the IED starts. | |
| Max delay | The maximum delay (Monitoring/IED status/SMV traffic) must be in all conditions smaller than the SV Delay parameter (Configuration/System). Larger values indicate configuration problems in the network or the need to change the SV Delay. | |
| Average delay | The average delay (Monitoring/IED status/SMV traffic) variation is small in different network traffic setups. A large variation may indicate configuration problems in the network. | |
| Measurement | In the SMV receives' Measurement view, the voltage values should be without brackets indicating good status. Brackets indicate questionable or invalid values. The SMV traffic delay (Monitoring/IED status/SMV traffic) value should be lower than the value of SV Delay (Max 6.48ms). |
| Item | Description | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Time quality | Observe the grandmaster accuracy (Monitoring/IED status/Time synchronization/IEEE 1588). The accuracy decreases slowly if the GPS antenna is removed. The IED GNRLLTMS1 WARNING signal is activated if the accuracy is not within the specified limits. | |
| Missing clock | Disable the clock master and check that one IED takes the clock master role. | |
| PTP priority 1 | Compare priorities against the grandmaster's priority. The clock master should have smaller value (bigger priority). | |
| PTP priority 2 | Same as above, but PTP priority 2 handles the selection when PTP priority 1 is the same. Can be used to set priorities to the IEDs in situation when the clock master fails. | |
| SMV Synch accuracy | The global clock is seen when the clock master is present. | |
| Local synch accuracy | According to 9-2 LE the synchronization accuracy needs to be better than 4 μs which is the defined supervision limit.1 | |
| Max Dev synch Accuracy | According to 9-2 LE the synchronization accuracy needs to be better than 4 μs which is the defined supervision limit.2 | |
| Grandmaster | Check the grandmaster monitoring from the master configuration via the HMI path Monitoring/IED status/Time synchronization/IEEE 1588. Check that all IEDs are synchronized to same PTP master. |
| Item | Description | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Max HSR loop size | Maximum supported HSR loop size is 30. Consider applying different topology in case a larger system is needed. | |
| Interlink port | IEEE 1588 v2 slave devices are not allowed in the interlink port. | |
| Redundancy | Check the maximum delays in different network setups. |
1 4 μs corresponds to approximately 0.07 degrees in 50 Hz systems
2 4 μs corresponds to approximately 0.07 degrees in 50 Hz systems
