1. Description

1.1 Features

Customer-configurable event for the maximum of 64 event codes on the channel

number 230.

1.2 Application

EVENT230 can be used in customer configuration in order to generate events on the

channel number 230. The function is application independent, which means that any
Boolean type of signal can be connected in EVENT230.

1.3 Input description

Name Type Description

IN BOOL Input signal used for event generation
DATA REAL Optional data value to be sent with the event
IEC_ADDR UINT IEC address for reported event (range 0…31)

2. Description of operation

2.1 General

The “FALSE -> TRUE” input (IN) signal transition signifies an activating event
occurrence (odd event codes), whereas the “TRUE -> FALSE” input (IN) signal
transition signifies a deactivating event occurrence (even event codes).

Each edge occurrence causes an event generation with an event code and a time stamp.
The event code is internally selected based on the IEC_ADDR input. For selecting the
IEC address, see the events table below. Optionally, one data value may be passed
with the event.

Events to be generated with these functions are found in the local MMI event list.
Note that if the event is masked, it will not be shown in the MMI event list.

2.2 How to use

This function can be instantiated 32 times per single relay configuration at the
maximum. Each instance should have a unique IEC address. The software does not
check the amount of instances or uniqueness of the IEC addresses.

Assign the desired IEC address as a constant (integer in range 0…31) into the input
IEC_ADDR. If this input is left unconnected, no events are sent. Do not add any
selection logic to change the value of this input during run-time operation.

This function can be freely assigned to any task cycle desired. Still, be careful not to
generate excessive amounts of events since this may cause event buffer overflow
situations. If the event buffer overflows, no events will be sent until the overflow
situation repeals. Note that EVENT230 will not try to re-send any events it failed to
send due to buffer overflow.

If the input IN is active during the relay start-up (or restart due to configuration
download), EVENT230 will not send the activating event. It will only memorize the
initial state of IN. Only real signal edges generate events.

For example, the following function block diagram can be used to send status of one
relay binary input to the IEC address 12:

Figure 2. Example of using the EVENT230 function block

Timers TON, TOF and RS-latch are used here to limit the amount of generated events.
Digital input must be high or low at least 100 milliseconds before its new status is
reported as an event. Thus 100 milliseconds after the rising edge of the digital input,
an activating event with the event code E25 will be sent. After this, the digital input
must stay low 100 milliseconds before the deactivating event E24 will be sent. Note
that the time stamps of the events will indicate the moment of event sending, not the
rising or falling edge of the digital input signal. As the digital input variable
BIO1_5_BI1 is of Boolean data type and the DATA input of the event function block
is of real data type, a type conversion function BOOL_TO_REAL is needed in
between. Therefore the activating event will be sent with a value REAL#1.0 and the
deactivating event with a value REAL#0.0.

One floating point data may be sent to SCADA with the EVENT230. This is useful for
example in reporting the power factor calculated by the MEPE7 function block. In the
example below, standard timers TON and TP are used to trigger the EVENT230 every
10 seconds. The local feedback variable should have an initial value FALSE.
