8.3 Definition Line of Card Format
l The format is shown as below:
“From” + “,” + “To” + “,” + “Form” + ”,” + “IC” + ”,” + “IW” + “,”+ “Statement” + ”,”
Ø “From”
Starting column of each item in card (the first column is fixed at 1);
Ø “To”
End column of each item in card (data of end column is also included in the item. If length of one
item is 1 and starting column is 5, the end column of the item shall be 5)
Ø “Form”
Format and length of item (decimal is included in float value).
A- character string (e.g. A10 is a 10-charater string);

I- integer (e.g. I3 is a 3 length integer);
F- float value (e.g. F5.2 is a 5 length float value with 1 decimal. If no decimal point exists in the
value, the latter two bits shall be the decimal part. However, if decimal point exists in the value, the
instruction of format becomes invalid).
Ø “IC”
Control symbol; e.g.
‘>=’: More than or equivalent to a value;
‘<=’: Less than or equivalent to a value;
‘>’: More than a value;
‘<’: Less than a value;
‘=’: Equivalent to a value or a string;
‘<>’: Include the string or space character;
‘><’: Must be empty or space;
‘!=’: Nonequivalent to a value or a string; nonequivalent to zero or not empty when “IW” is empty;
Ø “IW”
Control word, a value or string.
Ø “Statement”
Statement of card definition.
l Example 1 for card definition:
:LS(9), transient stabilizer trigger.
.From, To, Form, IC, IW, Statement,
1 , 2 , A2 , = , LS, CARD TYPE,
3 , 3 , A1 , ><, , Must be empty,
5 , 12 , A8 , , Busbar name of generator,
13 , 16 , F4.0 , >, 0, Base Voltage (kV) of generator,
17 , 17 , A1 , , Generator ID,
33 , 33 , A1 , ><, Must be empty,
36 , 37 , I2 , <>, 9, Transient stabilizer trigger,
40 , 45 , F6.0 , >=, 0, Time (cycle) of triggering transient stabilizer,
65 , 66 , I2 , ><, Must be empty,

l Example 2 for card definition:
:FF(E), rectifier excitation system of alternators with uncontrollable rectifier,
.From, To, Form, IC, IW, Statement,
1 , 2 , A2 , = , FF , CARD TYPE,
4 , 4 , A1 , !=, , Not empty (distinguish with compute control card),
4 , 11 , A8 , , , BusName,
12 , 15 , F4.0 , > , 0 , BusBase(kV),
16 , 16 , A1 , , , Generator ID.
