Control and monitoring Description
Sepam 1000+ performs the basic control and monitoring functions necessary for the
operation of the electrical network, thereby reducing the need for auxiliary relays.
The control and monitoring functions may be parameterized using the SFT2841
software tool, however each type of Sepam has parameter setting by default which
allows easier commissioning in the most frequent applications.
ANSI 94/69 - Circuit breaker/contactor control
Sepam 1000+ is used to control breaking devices equipped with different types of
closing and tripping coils:
b circuit breakers with shunt trip or undervoltage trip units
b latching contactors with shunt trip units.
The breaking device control function processes all the circuit breaker closing and
tripping conditions based on:
b breaking device status information
b remote control orders
b protection functions
b program logic specific to each application (e.g. recloser).
This function also inhibits breaking device closing according to the operating
conditions.
With Sepam series 20, it is necessary to use an MES108 or MES114 module in order
to have all the required logic inputs.
Switching of groups of settings
Used to switch from one group of phase overcurrent and earth fault protection
settings to another group of settings. Switching may be performed by a logic input or
via the communication link.
Inhibition of thermal protection
Thermal protection tripping may be inhibited via a logic input.
Re-acceleration
Allows a logic input to take into account the restarting of an unstopped motor.
ANSI 68 - Logic discrimination (SSL)
This function allows quick, selective tripping of the definite time or IDMT phase
overcurrent and earth fault protection relays, without requiring the use of time
intervals between upstream and downstream protection devices. The downstream
relay transmits a blocking input signal if the protection device set points are
exceeded.
The upstream relay receives the blocking input signal on the logic input used for the
inhibition function. A saving mechanism ensures the operation of the protection in the
event of an inhibition link failure.
ANSI 86 - Latching / acknowledgment
Output relay latching may be parameterized. Latched tripping orders are stored and
must be acknowledged in order for the device to be put back into service. The user
acknowledges via the keypad or remotely via a logic input or the communication link.
Latching is stored in the event of a power outage.
Trip circuit supervision
Detects trip circuit faults (shunt trip units). Detects open/closed position discrepancy
faults (undervoltage trip units).
Watchdog
Indicates Sepam unavailability via output O4.
Output relay test
This function is used to activate each output relay.
Control and monitoring Logic inputs and outputs

Chart of logic input and output assignments

The use of the preset control and monitoring functions requires exclusive parameter
setting and particular wiring of the inputs according to the application and type of
Sepam. Input assignment and parameter setting of the control and monitoring
functions may be done on the advanced UMI or using the SFT2841 software tool.
Since a current input may only be assigned to a single function, not all the functions
are available at the same time.
Example: when the logic discimination function is used, the switching of groups of
settings function may not be used.

(S20, T20,...).
The default program logic links the data derived from the protection functions to the
signal lamps and output relays to fit the unit’s most frequently used application.
It may be adapted for specific operations using the SFT2841 software tool, which
offers the following customization functions:
b customization of the control matrix
b logical equation editor (for Sepam series 40 only)
b modification of message wording (for Sepam series 40 only).
Control matrix

Logical equation editor

M T11105
(Sepam series 40)

Sepam series 40 includes a logical equation editor which may be used to adapt the
standard control functions to suit various specific cases by programming the
additional functions required.
A logical equation editor groups logic input data derived from:
b logic inputs
using the Boolean operators AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and automation functions such
as time delays, bistables and time programming.
The result of an equation may then be:
b assigned to a logic output, a signal lamp, a message via the control matrix
b transmitted by the communication link, as a new remote indication
b utilized by the circuit breaker/contactor control function to trip, close or inhibit
closing of the breaking device
b used to inhibit or reset a protection function.
