1. Introduction

1.1 Features

• Monitors the gas pressure via a digital input

• Issues an alarm signal if the gas pressure is invalid
• The alarm signal cannot be acknowledged until the indication of gas pressure is
valid

1.2 Application

This document specifies the function of the gas pressure monitoring function block
CMGAS1 used in products based on the RED 500 Platform.

A digital input can be used for monitoring the gas pressure. When the gas pressure
drops below the acceptable limit, the digital signal becomes active (active low) and
triggers the alarm signal. The alarm signal cannot be acknowledged before the breaker
poles have been refilled to the correct pressure.

2. Description of Operation

2.1 Operation criteria

The GAS signal indicates the gas pressure: an active signal (FALSE) indicates a fault
condition, whereas an inactive signal (TRUE) indicates the correct gas pressure. The
function block will activate the ALARM signal when the specific alarm delay has
elapsed after the falling edge of the GAS signal. In order to activate the ALARM
signal, the gas pressure should remain FALSE throughout the alarm delay.

2.2 Alarm acknowledgement

The alarm cannot be acknowledged if the GAS input is FALSE. The alarm signal
acknowledgement deactivates the active alarm signal of the function block. The alarm
signal can be acknowledged by the rising edge of the ACK signal, or by the local
menu command or the remote command. Separate events are not generated by the
acknowledgement because it deactivates the ALARM signal and an event is generated
by the deactivation.

2.3 Resetting

The operation indications of the function block can be reset via the general parameter
F001V011 or the push-button C on the front panel of the MMI, which both affect all
function blocks.

3. Parameters and Events

3.1 General

• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for CMGAS1 is 186.

• The data direction of the parameters defines the use of each parameter as follows:
Data direction Description
R, R/M Read only
W Write only
R/W Read and write

• The different event mask parameters (see section “Control settings”) affect the
visibility of events on the MMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / MMI (LON)
Event mask 2 (FxxxV103/104) LON
Event mask 3 (FxxxV105/106) LON
Event mask 4 (FxxxV107/108) LON

For example, if only the events E3, E4 and E5 are to be seen on the MMI of the
relay terminal, the event mask value 56 (8 + 16 + 32) is written to the “Event mask
1” parameter (FxxxV101).
In case a function block includes more than 32 events, there are two parameters
instead of e.g. the “Event mask 1” parameter: the parameter “Event mask 1A”
(FxxxV101) covers the events 0...31 and “Event mask 1B”(FxxxV102) the events
32...63.
