Introduction
This document describes the Modbus implementation for Nu-Lec advanced controllers with
automatic circuit reclosers (ACRs).
This version of the protocol does not support Load Break Switch (LBS) mode.
For more information about the Recloser refer to relevant technical manual for your switchgear
type.
Overview
The advanced controller combines the functions of protection relay and switchgear controller into a
single intelligent electronic device (IED).
The controller provides a user friendly operator interface on a four line LCD control panel which
allows configuration and control of the switchgear and configuration of the Modbus Protocol.
Electricity supply utilities frequently link the controller into their SCADA systems as a Remote
Terminal Unit (RTU).
To make this simple the controller provides….
• Mounting room for a radio or modem in the control cubicle.
• Power supply for the radio or modem in the control cubicle.
• Embedded protocol handler for the required SCADA protocol in the controller firmware.
This document describes the embedded Modbus protocol handler for the advanced controller.
Data Types
The Modbus protocol handler supports the following data exchange between the advance controller
and a SCADA system Master Station.
• Digital Inputs
• Analogue Inputs
• Digital Control
• Analogue Control
More information is given in later sections.
Controls
A list of the controls supported by the protocol handler is detailed in Appendix C.3 and ¡Error! No
se encuentra el origen de la referencia..
All digital controls have a corresponding digital input. The master station must use these input
points to verify that the control action has been successful. Sometimes a control will be rejected
because of an underlying controller condition preventing the action. These conditions are detailed
in the table in the appendices.
The Modbus protocol handler triggers two events that are recorded in the event log - “Modbus Trip
Req” and “Modbus Close Req”. This event log reporting indicates only that the protocol handler
has requested a trip or a close from the controller. It does not necessarily mean that the action has
been taken.
The Modbus protocol handler is designated as a remote user. Refer to the equipment manual for
more information.
Terminology
The terminology used in this document is that Earth Fault or Ground Fault is described as Earth /
Ground Fault and Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF) or Sensitive Ground Fault (SGF) is described as
SEF/SGF.
Also, bushing terminology used in this document is for U and W series switchgear ie I and X for the
switchgear terminals. On N or RL series switchgear the 1 side is described as I and the 2 side is
described as X.
Also note that the phase terminology is ABC and refers always to the phase set by the Terminal
Designation or “Phasing” option, never to the physical bushing or terminal on the switchgear.
Password Protection
All Modbus panel fields require password entry unless described as ‘Display only’ or otherwise
stated.
For more information on operator control panel usage refer to the equipment manual.
Applicability
Control Cubicle Software
This document applies to Nu-Lec pole top reclosers using an advanced controller with software
version A42-01-xx.
To find these pages refer to the main equipment manual.
Modbus Protocol Definition

The protocol version implemented by Nu-Lec is Modbus and is described in the following
document: -
• 'Gould Modbus Protocol Reference Guide', PI-MBUS-300 RevB, January 1985
The Modbus protocol handler implements a sub-set of the complete Modbus protocol definition.
The subset of Modbus communication function codes that are supported are listed in Appendix B.
This sub-set allows a Modbus master station to poll a Nulec recloser and:
• scan the current values of inputs, holding registers
• force logic coils
• preset holding registers
Switchgear Type
Applicable to the following switchgear types:
• N-Series ACR, all models with advanced controllers.
• U-Series ACR, all models with advanced controllers
• W-Series ACR, all models with advanced controllers.
Protocol Configuration
The Modbus protocol handler adds several pages to the “Modbus Configuration” menus. The
additional pages fall into the following groups,
• Enabling Modbus
• Protocol Parameter Configuration
• Communications Parameter Configuration
• Communications Statistics
All protocol configuration parameters can be viewed, modified and stored on a personal computer
with the WSOS utility.
Enabling Modbus
To enable Modbus it must be made available. Go to Options 4 in the status screen.
-------------- OPTIONS 4 ------------C
Trace Available DNP3 Not Available
RDI Not Available Modbus Not Available
MITS Not Avail Conitel Not Avail
Select the “Modbus Not Avail” field and change it to “Modbus Available”.
Modbus Communications
The communications page gives information on the port selected, the state of the protocol and the
particular map used. To get to this page, go to the Communications Setup page and select the
Modbus protocol. Pressing the Enter key will take you to this page.
-------- Modbus Communications -------C

Modbus Communication Statistics

The communication statistics give communication information, such as bytes being sent and
received. The communication statistics page appears as below:
--- Modbus Communication Statistics --C

Tx Count 0 Rx Count 0
Rx CRC Error 0 Rx TO Err 0
Statistic Description
Tx Count Transmission Message Count
The number of messages transmitted from this controller into the
communication link.
Range: 0 to 99999
Rx Count Receive Message Count
The number of messages received by this controller from the
communication link with valid Modbus Telemetry encoding. This
includes all messages with incorrect station/group addressing.
Range: 0 to 99999
Rx CRC Error Receive Message CRC Error Count
The number of message packets received with a CRC error
Range: 0 to 99999
Rx TO Error Receive Message Time Out Error Count
The number of messages received which have exceeded the Frame TO
period.
Range: 0 to 99999
All of the above counters are zeroed when: the controller is reset; or by selecting a field and going
to the “Reset Communications Statistics” screen and then hitting select again; or the ‘Reset All’
button is selected in Windows SOS.
Appendix A Protocol Timings
Initialisation Time
The protocol handler will not respond to master station requests for several seconds after power up
whilst it waits for the ADVC database to be initialised and for high priority boot up tasks to be
completed.
Turnaround Time
The turnaround time for the protocol, from the end of receiving a message until the start of the pre-
transmission time, is typically < 30 milliseconds with a range of 5 to 100 milliseconds.

ACR Protection Operation Flags

This group of points indicates what happened in the last protection sequence. For example the recloser may have
tripped, closed, tripped again and locked out. Or it may have tripped, closed and stayed closed because the fault was
cleared.
In both cases the flags below are set to show the causes of the trips and whether the lockout state has been reached or
not.
A set of flags is available for each trip in a protection sequence.
In addition analogue data is available which shows the fault currents which occurred during the sequence and the
number of trips which took place (refer Appendix C.2)
Note that a sequence starts when there is a protection trip or a sequence advance.
Most of these flags are cleared either by protocol command or when the switchgear is tripped/closed by the operator or
when a new protection sequence starts.
This data is volatile i.e. it is zeroed on controller software reset.

Appendix C.2 ACR Modbus - Analogue Inputs

ACR map.
These are the analogue input status points that are available. They are stored in holding registers in the ADVC. Each
holding register is 16 bits wide.
The phase designation A, B, C is determined by the user, refer to the equipment manual for more information. Phase
terminology is explained in section 0.
W series: support is indicated in tables below by a ‘Y’. If indicated as ‘N’ then value is always 0.
Scaling
Modbus analogue values are transmitted as a 16 bit value with an additional sign bit. Where the ADVC range of
analogue values exceeds the range of a 16 bit number (-32768 to 32767) the values are scaled.
All analogue values are scaled with 1 count = 1 Resolution/Units. In other words, 1 transmitted count = raw value ÷
resolution. For example: a phase voltage of 1000V will be transmitted as a count of 250 (=1000 ÷ 4)
The transmitted value must therefore be re-scaled at the master station before being displayed to the SCADA operator,
logged, etc.

ACR Protection Sequence Data

These analogue points record data about the protection sequence including maximum fault currents. These are derived
from the max current events that are seen in the Operator Control Panel event record and record the current for each
phase and for earth/ground.
For any one protection trip or sequence advance more than one fault current can be set. For example a Phase/Phase fault
might set an A-Phase current and a B-Phase current.
Other data recorded includes the number of trips in the protection sequence and the Protection Group that was active at
the time of the protection operation.
Data is cleared to zero by the following actions:-

Notes.
1. Changing these settings affects the currently active protection group. The change is put into effect immediately and
is permanent for that group. In other words is equivalent to selecting that protection group on the operator control
panel, changing the setting and then putting the change into service.
2. Changing the Source/Load direction affects the following aspects of the operation of the controller:
• Whether the source or load corresponds to (I) or (X) on the voltage measurement displays
• Which direction is positive power flow for use on the kW Signed total in System Power
• Which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking
• Which is the source or load for Directional Blocking
• Refer section Appendix C.1, Power Flow Direction for status
