Functions and application templates

Fast scan recorder
The fast scan recorder allows analyzing transient processes,
short-circuits or ground faults and also the behavior of protec-
tion devices. Transient processes, for example can be caused
by switching operations. The fast scan recorder is capable of
recording the development of the sampled values of all analog
inputs, of internally calculated measured values and binary sig-
nals during a fault for a period of 90 seconds with a pre-trigger
time of 3 seconds. The sampling rate can be set between 20 and
320 sampled values per period. This corresponds to a sampling
frequency of 1 kHz to up to 16 kHz.
Binary changes are detected with a resolution of 1 ms. The
input signals are analyzed according to the specified trigger
conditions and recorded if the limit values are violated. This
fault record contains the pre-trigger time, the trigger instant
and the fault recording. Additionally, the trigger cause is stored.
The trigger limit values and recording times can be determined
easily using DIGSI 5.
Slow scan recorder
The functioning is similar to the fast scan recorder. However,
the difference is that the values are calculated every 10 ms
and are averaged over a configurable interval. The averaging
interval can be configured from 1 to up to 3000 rated periods.
The slow scan recorder stores the averaged values as recording
in the mass storage. Analogous to the fast scan recorder, binary
changes are detected with a resolution of 1 ms.
Slow scan recorders are therefore ideally suited to detect, for
example, the load conditions before, during and after a distur-
bance and along with that the power swing processes.
An average is formed and stored in the storage for each quantity
recorded by the continuous recorder over a settable period of 1
time. Each continuous recorder can be activated separately and
is organized as ring buffer with parameterizable quantities.
1.1
Trigger functions
1.2
The event-triggered recorders (fast scan recorder and slow scan 1.3
recorder) contain a variety of analog and binary triggers which
enable the user to determine the specific power system problem 1.4
and avoid unnecessary recordings. The input signals are sampled
according to the trigger conditions and start the fault recording.
1.5
In the SIPROTEC 7KE85 all triggers can also be assigned multiple 1.6
times to the different recorders.
1.7
Analog triggers
The analog triggers can basically be divided into level triggers 1.8
and gradient triggers. Level triggers monitor whether measured
values stay inside the parameterized limit values (min/max).
1.9
The trigger is initiated once the measured value violates the
corresponding limit value. Gradient triggers respond to the level 2
change per time.
2.1
Each analog trigger can be parameterized as primary, secondary
or percentage value. There are frequency triggers, voltage trig- 2.2
gers, current triggers, and power triggers. If the trigger quantity
is current and voltage, the fundamental component, RMS and 2.3
symmetrical components are available for selection.
2.4
Binary triggers
A binary trigger starts a recording due to the logical status
change of a binary signal.

with highly accurate time stamps and transmit them for analysis
