Power Factor Alarm
The ladder logic code for this section has already been written. The
following is an explanation of the ladder logic code for lines one
through four.
If BUS_NET_KVAR (F8:2) falls outside of the limits defined by
KVAR_Lag_DB (N7:35) and PFMGR4_LEAD_DB_NEG (N94:0), then
the timer PF_INRANGE__TIMER_4 (T93:0) will be started. The default
time for this timer is 60 seconds. When this timer is done timing, it will
latch KVAR_NOT_ACHEIVED (B56:2) and reset the timer.
If BUS_NET_KVAR (F8:2) is within the limits defined by
KVAR_Lag_DB (N7:35) and PFMGR4_LEAD_DB_NEG (N94:0), then
reset PF_INRANGE__TIMER_4 (T93:0) and unlatch
KVAR_NOT_ACHEIVED (B56:2).
The above process sets the flag, KVAR_NOT_ACHEIVED (B56:2),
which indicates when the system KVAR is out of your specified limits.
This flag is used for HMI alarming.
Step Control
The step control consists of three parts. Part 1 specifies under what
conditions to tell the system that a step is waiting to be actuated or
tripped. Part 2 specifies under what conditions to tell the system that a
step should be actuated. Part 3 specifies under what conditions to tell
the system that a step should be tripped.
The following ladder logic examples are recommended formats for
your custom coding.
Part 1
If PF_INRANGE__TIMER_4 (T93:0) is done timing
• If PF_LEADING (B3:6/6) is high, and under any user-defined
conditions, latch KVAR_LAG_WAIT_2_ADD (B56:0/8).
• If PF_LAGGING (B3:6/7) is high, and under any other
user-defined conditions, latch KVAR_LEAD_WAIT_2_TRIP
(B56:0/7).
Part 1 should be implemented at line three in parallel with the outputs
of that rung.
See Part 1 Example.
