‎Chapter 7 Programming the PM180

Using Control Setpoints

76

PM180 Substation Automation Unit

To program the setpoints, select General Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and
then click on the Control/Alarm Setpoints tab.

The available setpoint options are described in the following table:

Option

Format/Range Description

Setpoint Triggers

OR/AND

OR, AND

The logical operator for the trigger

Input group

The trigger parameter group (see Appendix C)

Trigger parameter

The trigger parameter that is used as an argument in
the logical expression (see Appendix C)

Relation

<=, >=, =, ON,
OFF, NEW, Delta

The relational operator used in the conditional
expression for the trigger

Operate limit

The threshold (in primary units) at which the
conditional expression would be evaluated to true. Not
applicable for digital triggers.

Release limit

The threshold (in primary units) at which the
conditional expression would be evaluated to false.
Defines the hysteresis for analog triggers. Not
applicable for digital triggers.

Setpoint Actions

Action

The action performed when the setpoint expression is
evaluated to true (see Appendix B)

Target

The optional action target

Parameter

The optional action argument (reserved)

Delays

Operate delay

0-10,000.000 sec The time delay before operation when the operate

conditions are fulfilled

Release delay

0-10,000.000 sec The time delay before release when the release

conditions are fulfilled

The logical controller provides very fast response to events. The scan time for all
setpoints is 1/2 cycle time (8 ms at 60Hz and 10 ms at 50 Hz).
Setpoint #1 is factory preset to provide standard periodic data logs on a 15-minute
time basis. It is linked to the device clock and runs Data logs #1 and #2 at 15-minute
boundaries of an hour.
The logical controller can be globally disabled or enabled through the Device Mode
Control dialog (see

Device Mode Control

in Chapter 11). It is enabled in your device

by default.
