The following items are included in the delivery:
▪ TAPCON®
▪ Terminating resistor for CAN bus (optional)
▪ Technical files
Please note the following:

▪ Check the shipment for completeness on the basis of the shipping docu-
ments.

3.2 Function description of the voltage regulation

The TAPCON® serves to keep constant the output voltage of a transformer
with an on-load tap-changer.
The TAPCON® compares the transformer's measured voltage (Uactual) with a

defined reference voltage (Udesired). The difference between Uactual and Udesired
is the control deviation (dU).
The TAPCON® parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage re-
sponse to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of tap-
change operations.
The following diagram shows an overview of voltage regulation.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
4.1 Packaging, transport and storage
4.1.1 Suitability, structure and production

The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. This ensures that the
shipment is secure when in the intended transportation position and that
none of its parts touch the loading surface of the means of transport or touch
the ground after unloading.
The box is designed for a maximum load of 10 kg.
Inlays inside the box stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible changes
of position, and protect them from vibration.
4.1.2 Markings
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and cor-
rect storage. The following symbols apply to the shipment of non-hazardous
goods. Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.
Protect Top Fragile Attach lifting Center of

against gear here mass
moisture
Table 6: Shipping pictograms
4.2 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments

In addition to oscillation stress and shock stress, jolts must also be expected
during transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping,
tipping, knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or expe-
riences an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the
weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any type.
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport con-
tainer can be accessed from all sides.

Visible damage If external transport damage is detected on receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
▪ Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen and
the relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment
further and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision
has been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage immediately onsite together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages!
▪ If possible, photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This
also applies to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to mois-
ture inside the packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
▪ Be absolutely sure to also check the sealed packaging.
Hidden damage When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can
only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-
ance terms and conditions.
4.3 Storage of shipments

When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting
snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and
against unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action af-
ter storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.

5.3 Connecting device

The following section describes how to establish the electrical connection to
the device.
WARNING Electric shock

Risk of fatal injury due to connection mistakes
► Ground the device with a protective conductor using the grounding
screw on the housing.
► Note the phase difference of the secondary terminals for the current
transformer and voltage transformer.
► Connect the output relays correctly to the motor-drive unit.
Supply the voltage via separators and ensure that current paths can be
short circuited. Fit the separator, clearly labeled, near the device's power
supply so that it is freely accessible. This will allow the device to be re-
placed with ease in the event of a defect.
5.3.1 Cable recommendation

Please note the following recommendation from Maschinenfabrik Reinhau-
sen when wiring the device.
Excessive line capacitance can prevent the relay contacts from breaking the
contact current. In control circuits operated with alternating current, take into
account the effect of the line capacitance of long control cables on the func-
tion of the relay contacts.
If you want to route Ethernet connections starting from a control cabinet or
building, we recommend the use of fiber-optic cables (in accordance with
the recommendation from IEC 61850-90-4).

5.3.3 Information about laying fiber-optic cable

To ensure the smooth transfer of data via the fiber-optic cable, you must en-
sure that mechanical loads are avoided when laying the fiber-optic cable and
later on during operation.
Please note the following:

▪ Radii must not fall below the minimum permissible bend radii (do not
bend fiber-optic cable).
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be over-stretched or crushed. Observe
the permissible load values.
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be twisted.
▪ Be aware of sharp edges which could damage the fiber-optic cable's
coating when laying or could place mechanical loading on the coating
later on.
▪ Provide a sufficient cable reserve near distributor cabinets for example.
Lay the reserve such that the fiber-optic cable is neither bent nor twisted
when tightened.
5.3.4 Electromagnetic compatibility

The device has been developed in accordance with applicable EMC stan-
dards. The following points must be noted in order to maintain the EMC
standards.
5.3.4.1 Wiring requirement of installation site

Figure 33: Ground connection
5.3.4.4 Information about shielding the CAN bus
In order for the CAN bus to operate faultlessly, you have to connect the
shielding using one of the following variants. If you are not able to use any of
the variants detailed below, we recommend using fiber optic cables. Fiber
optic cables decouple the voltage regulators and are not sensitive to electro-
magnetic interferences (surge and burst).

If you connect the CAN bus cable to devices with different potential, current
may flow over the shielding. This current may damage the device.
► Connect the devices to a potential compensation rail to compensate for
potential.
► If both devices have different potentials, only connect the CAN bus ca-
ble's shielding to one device.
Variant 1: The connected devices share the same potential
If the devices to be connected share the same potential, proceed as follows:

1. Connect all devices to a potential compensation rail to compensate for
the potential.
2. Connect CAN bus cable's shielding to all connected devices.
Variant 2: The connected devices have different potential
Note that the shielding is less effective with this variant.

5 Mounting
If the devices to be connected have different potential, proceed as follows:

► Connect CAN bus cable's shielding to just one device.
Connecting shielding
Connect the shielding for the CAN bus cable to the 9-pin D-sub connector:
Figure 34: Connection of CAN bus cable shielding to the 9-pin D-sub connector
5.3.4.5 Information about shielding the cables for analog signals
For the perfect capture of analog signals, you must connect the shielding in
accordance with one of the following variants.

If you connect the cable to devices with different potential, current may flow
over the shielding. This current may damage the device.
► Connect the devices to a potential compensation rail for potential equal-
ization.
► If both devices have different potentials, only connect the cable's
shielding to one device.
Variant 1: TAPCON® and receiver (e.g. 20 mA transmitter, resistor

contact series) are on the same potential
If the devices to be connected share the same potential, proceed as follows:

► Connect cable's shielding to both ends (TAPCON® and receiver).
Variant 2: TAPCON® and receiver (e.g. 20 mA transmitter, resistor

contact series) are on different potential
Note that the shielding is less effective with this variant.
If the devices to be connected have different potential, proceed as follows:

► Connect cable's shielding to TAPCON® only.

5 Mounting
Connecting shielding
You have to place the shielding against a suitable point with grounding. The
cable shielding should be removed as late as possible before connecting to
keep the section with unshielded cables as short as possible. The shielding
must be connected with shielding clips. Depending on where the TAPCON®
is installed, you have the following options:
▪ Connect shielding to one of the shielding clips on side plate of
TAPCON®
Figure 35: Placement of shielding on the shielding clip on side plate of TAPCON®
▪ Connect shielding to a grounding bar of control cabinet

16. Set delay time T2 to 10 seconds and activate it [► 86].
17. Press twice to raise the on-load tap-changer 2 steps.

ð If the actual voltage is outside the bandwidth, after 20 seconds the
device lowers the on-load tap-changer one step and after another
10 seconds another step.

20. Set delay time T1 [► 84] and delay time T2 [► 86] to the desired
value.
We recommend a temporary setting of 100 seconds for delay time T1 when

commissioning the transformer. Depending on the operating conditions, you
can also specify the delay time following a longer observation period. In this
regard, it is useful to register how the actual voltage progresses and the
number of tap-change operations per day.
6.3.2 Checking parallel operation

This section describes how you can run the function test for parallel opera-
tion.
Requirements To obtain perfect functioning in parallel operation, the TAPCON® must be

commissioned in simplex mode. Make sure that the conditions below have
been fulfilled.
▪ All TAPCON® units are set to the same operating parameters for "de-
sired value" and "delay time T1" [► 84]
▪ "Activate parallel operation" [► 112] parameter set to ON
▪ Parallel operation method selected.
▪ A different CAN bus address [► 113] (≠ 0) is set for all TAPCON®
▪ The same parallel operation group input is set for all TAPCON®
6.3.2.1 Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity
This section describes how you set the circulating reactive current sensitivity
to check the function of the "circulating reactive current minimization" parallel
operation method.
Note that the following prerequisites must be met for the "circulating reactive
current minimization" parallel operation method:
▪ You have to use current transformers with the same rated values for all
transformers in parallel operation.
▪ If you wish to operate in parallel operation with existing devices, you
have to activate the Retrofit TAPCON® 2xx [► 117] parameter.

6 Commissioning
Consult the section Circulating reactive current minimization for more infor-
mation.
To set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, proceed as follows:

1. Select the "Circulating reactive current" parallel operation method.
2. Set circulating reactive current sensitivity to a value of 0%.
3. If necessary, activate the Retrofit TAPCON® 2xx function [► 117].
4. Adjust both transformers in simplex mode to the same actual voltage us-
ing on-load tap-changers.
5. Connect the transformers in parallel and enable the parallel control.
ð The status display in the Parallel operation menu lights up blue.
ð The two TAPCON® must be within the bandwidth.
6. Set the desired value of both TAPCON® to the voltage currently meas-
ured.
7. On one of the two transformers, raise the tap position of the on-load tap-
changer by one setting; on the second transformer, lower the tap posi-
tion of the on-load tap-changer by one setting.
ð The two TAPCON® are still within the bandwidth.
8. Increase the circulating reactive current sensitivity in small steps until
the control deviation dU in the main screen is outside the bandwidth (de-
pending on TAPCON® greater than or less than the bandwidth).
9. Press to select auto mode for all TAPCON® units.

ð All of the TAPCON® units return the on-load tap-changer units to
the original tap positions.
If an on-load tap-changer does not switch back to its original tap position,
you have to increase the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
If one of the on-load tap-changer units switches one or more tap positions
higher and the other switches the same amount lower, you need to reduce
the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
After you have set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, continue with
the function test for the circulating reactive current blocking limit described in
the next section.
6.3.2.2 Testing the circulating reactive current blocking limit
This section describes how to run the function test for circulating reactive
current blocking.
ü Set the circulating reactive current blocking limit to a value of 20%.
1. Press on a TAPCON® to select manual mode.

2. Using manual control, adjust the relevant motor-drive unit upwards (for
example 1 - 2 steps) by the maximum permitted tap difference in operat-
ing positions between the parallel operating transformers.

6 Commissioning
When setting the circulating reactive current blocking in the following proc-
ess step, wait approximately 2 to 3 seconds between the individual steps.
3. In the Parallel operation > Parallel operation method menu item, set
the circulating reactive current parallel operation method.
4. Reduce the circulating reactive current blocking limit parameter from the
set value of 20% in steps of 1% until the message Circulating reactive
current blocking limit exceeded is displayed.
ð Any further regulation is blocked.
ð After the set delay time for the parallel operation error message has
elapsed, the circulating reactive current blocking message is dis-
played
5. Increase the circulating reactive current blocking limit parameter again
until the message Circulating reactive current limit exceeded disap-
pears.

ð The motor-drive unit automatically returns to the original operating
position.
7. Set the value determined for the "circulating reactive current blocking
limit" for the TAPCON® units in parallel operation as well.
If one TAPCON® or all of the TAPCON® units indicate Circulating reactive

current blocking limit exceeded even though the control inputs are correctly
connected for all TAPCON® units, all of the TAPCON® units block.
This could be due to various causes. Further information is given in the
chapter Troubleshooting [► 206].
ð The function test for the circulating reactive current blocking limit is com-
plete.
6.3.2.3 Checking tap synchronization method
This section describes how to run the function test for tap synchronization
(master/follower).
In parallel operation in accordance with the Automatic tap synchroniza-

tion method, the tap positions of the transformers running in parallel are
compared. It is therefore necessary that the transformers have the same
position designation and that the Raise and Lower signals produce the
same voltage change in all transformers.

6 Commissioning
NOTICE Damage resulting from formation of circulating reactive current

If the parameters are not set correctly, damage may result from the forma-
tion of circulating reactive current and the resulting overload of transmission
lines and transformers.
► Check transformer type plate.
► Set TAPCON® parameters in accordance with the configuration of the
transformers.
Before starting the function test, you must carry out the following steps:
1. Assign the master function to one TAPCON®.
2. Assign the follower function to the other TAPCON® units.
3. Compare the tap position displays of master and follower . All
of the TAPCON® units must display the same tap position. If this is not
the case, switch all TAPCON® units to the same tap position.

7.2.1.6 Active power-dependent adjustment of desired voltage value
The TAPCON® Dynamic Setpoint Control (TDSC) function is used to adapt

the desired voltage value depending on the measured active power. This al-
lows you to compensate for a voltage drop during increased load or an in-
crease in voltage due to a decentralized feed-in.
Depending on whether positive or negative active power is measured, the

desired value calculation is based on 2 linear equations (see example in dia-
gram below).
Parameter Function Settings (see dia-

gram below)
Umax: Maximum desired value Maximum set desired value is activated when 103.0 V
Pmax is exceeded.
Umin: Minimum desired value Minimum set desired value is activated when 99.0 V
value falls below Pmin.
U0: Desired value at 0 active Set desired value is activated when measured 100.00 V
power active power is 0 MW.
Pmax: Active power at max. Set maximum active power value above which 20.0 MW
desired value the power-dependent desired value is to attain
the maximum value Umax.
Pmin: Active power at min. de- Set minimum active power value below which -20.0 MW
sired value the power-dependent desired value is to attain
the minimum value Umin.
Table 11: Parameters to be set for active power-dependent adjustment of desired voltage value

Pmeas Measured active power Umax Maximum desired value
Pmin Active power at minimum U0 Set desired value when
desired value measured active power =
0
Pmax Active power at maximum

Response to active power Pmax being exceeded
If the measured active power Pmeas exceeds the set parameter Pmax, the value
Umax is adopted as the desired value.
Response to value falling below active power Pmin
If the measured active power Pmeas falls below the set parameter Pmin, the val-
ue Umin is adopted as the desired value.
Response to a measured active power Pmeas = 0 MW:
If the measured active power Pmeas = 0, the set parameter U0 is adopted.
Linear dependency with negative active power:
If the measured active power Pmin ≤ Pmeas ≤ 0, the desired value is calculated
using the following formula:
Linear dependency with positive active power:
If the measured active power 0 ≤ Pmeas ≤ Pmax, the desired value is calculated
To activate the active power-dependent adjustment of the desired voltage

value, you need to set the following parameters:

Activating TDSC
The TDSC function is only active when the device can calculate the active
power (correct current measurement and voltage measurement) and the re-
quired parameters are set. If this isn't done, the voltage is regulated to the
set desired value [► 69]. You can activate or deactivate the power-depend-
ent adjustment of the desired voltage value as follows:
▪ Parameter
▪ Digital inputs TDSC on and TDSC off (optional)
▪ Control system command (optional)
If you activate TDSC, the line drop compensation (R&X compensation or Z

compensation) function is deactivated.
To activate/deactivate TDSC using parameters, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Activate TDSC.
TDSC Umax/Umin
You can use these parameters to set the maximum and minimum desired
value. The maximum or minimum desired value is activated when the meas-
ured active power reaches the set minimum or maximum active power.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > TDSC Umax/Umin.
2. Enter maximum/minimum desired value.
TDSC U0
You can use this parameter to set the desired value which is to be used
when the measured active power is 0.
1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Control > TDSC U0.
2. Enter desired value at active power 0.
TDSC Pmax/Pmin
You can use these parameters to set the maximum and minimum active
power value at which the maximum and minimum active power-dependent
desired value is to be used for regulation.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > TDSC Pmax/Pmin.
2. Enter active power for maximum/minimum desired value.

7.2.1.7 Active power-dependent adjustment of desired voltage value with 3

different desired values
The TAPCON® Dynamic Setpoint Control (TDSC) function is used to adapt

the desired voltage value depending on the measured active power. This al-
lows you to compensate for a voltage drop during increased load or an in-
crease in voltage due to a decentralized feed-in.
The device provides you with 3 different sets of parameters for this purpose.
Depending on the selection of the desired value 1, 2 or 3, the device uses
the parameter set 1, 2 or 3 for TDSC.
Depending on whether positive or negative active power is measured, the

desired value calculation is based on 2 linear equations (see example in dia-
gram below).
Parameter Function Settings (see dia-

gram below)
Umax: Maximum desired value Maximum set desired value is activated when 103.0 V
Pmax is exceeded.
Umin: Minimum desired value Minimum set desired value is activated when 99.0 V
value falls below Pmin.
U0: Desired value at 0 active Set desired value is activated when measured 100.00 V
power active power is 0 MW.
Pmax: Active power at max. Set maximum active power value above which 20.0 MW
desired value the power-dependent desired value is to attain
the maximum value Umax.
Pmin: Active power at min. de- Set minimum active power value below which -20.0 MW
sired value the power-dependent desired value is to attain
the minimum value Umin.

Response to active power Pmax being exceeded
If the measured active power Pmeas exceeds the set parameter Pmax, the value
Umax is adopted as the desired value.
Response to value falling below active power Pmin
If the measured active power Pmeas falls below the set parameter Pmin, the val-
ue Umin is adopted as the desired value.
Response to a measured active power Pmeas = 0 MW:
If the measured active power Pmeas = 0, the set parameter U0 is adopted.
Linear dependency with negative active power:
If the measured active power Pmin ≤ Pmeas ≤ 0, the desired value is calculated
Linear dependency with positive active power:
If the measured active power 0 ≤ Pmeas ≤ Pmax, the desired value is calculated
To activate the active power-dependent adjustment of the desired voltage

value, you need to set the following parameters:

Activating TDSC
The TDSC function is only active when the device can calculate the active
power (correct current measurement and voltage measurement) and the re-
quired parameters are set. If this isn't done, the voltage is regulated to the
set desired value 1/2/3 [► 70]. You can activate or deactivate the power-de-
pendent adjustment of the desired voltage value as follows:
▪ Parameter
▪ Digital inputs TDSC on and TDSC off (optional)
▪ Control system command (optional)
If you activate TDSC, the line drop compensation (R&X compensation or Z

compensation) function is deactivated.
To activate/deactivate TDSC using parameters, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Activate TDSC.
TDSC 1/2/3 Umax/Umin
You can use these parameters to set the maximum and minimum desired
value. The maximum or minimum desired value is activated when the meas-
ured active power reaches the set minimum or maximum active power.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > TDSC Umax/Umin.
2. Enter maximum/minimum desired value.
TDSC 1/2/3 U0
You can use this parameter to set the desired value which is to be used
when the measured active power is 0.
1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Control > TDSC U0.
2. Enter desired value at active power 0.
TDSC 1/2/3 Pmax/Pmin
You can use these parameters to set the maximum and minimum active
power value at which the maximum and minimum active power-dependent
desired value is to be used for regulation.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > TDSC Pmax/Pmin.
2. Enter active power for maximum/minimum desired value.

7.2.1.8 Desired value setting via BCD
With the setting of the desired value via BCD, you can variably adapt the de-
sired value for the automatic voltage regulation via digital inputs by means of
BCD coding.
Depending on variant, desired value setting via BCD is always active or you
can activate it by creating a signal at the BCD desired value input.
The permissible setting range is 49...140 V. If the BCD coding is invalid or

desired value setting via BCD is deactivated, the device uses the set desired
value 1.

7.2.2 Bandwidth
You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible deviation in
measured voltage Uactual from the desired value Udesired. The following section
describes how you determine and set the bandwidth.

Determining bandwidth
In order to set the correct value, the transformer's step voltage and nominal
voltage must be known. Note that a large bandwidth will result in a large
control deviation.
The bandwidth must always be greater than the following value:
Figure 52: Calculation of minimum bandwidth
Un-1 Step voltage of tap position n-1

Un Step voltage of tap position n
Unom Nominal voltage
The following transformer values are used to determine the minimum band-
width:
Nominal voltage Unom = 11,000 V
Step voltage in tap position 4 UStep4 = 11,275 V
Step voltage in tap position 5 UStep5 = 11,000 V
Setting the bandwidth
To set the bandwidth, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Control > Bandwidth.
2. Enter bandwidth.
7.2.3 Delay time T1

Delay time T1 delays the issuing of a tap-change command for a defined pe-
riod. This prevents unnecessary tap-change operations if the tolerance
bandwidth is exited briefly.

Behavior only with delay time T1
If the measured voltage Uactual is within the set bandwidth , no control

commands are issued to the motor-drive unit for the tap-change operation.
Control commands will also not be issued to the motor-drive unit if the meas-
ured voltage returns to the tolerance bandwidth within the set delay time
T1 . However, if the measured voltage deviates from the set bandwidth for
a long period , a tap-change command occurs after expiration of the
set delay time T1. The on-load tap-changer carries out a tap-change in a
raise or lower direction to return to the tolerance bandwidth.
Figure 53: Behavior of the regulation function with delay time T1
1 + B %: Upper limit 4 Set delay time T1

2 Udesired: Desired value 5 Uactual: Measured voltage
3 - B %: Lower limit 6 B%: Tolerance bandwidth
A Uactual is outside the band- B Uactual is within the bandwidth
width. Delay time T1 starts. before delay time T1 is com-
plete.
C Uactual is outside the band- D Uactual is still outside the band-
width. Delay time T1 starts. width when delay time T1 is
complete. Tap-change opera-
tion is initiated.
Setting delay time T1
To set the delay time T1, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Delay time T1.
2. Enter delay time T1.

Selecting time response T1
You can use this parameter to set the time response for delay time T1. You
can select the following options:
▪ Linear time response
▪ Integral time response
Linear time response With linear time response, the device responds with a constant delay time
regardless of the control deviation.
Integral time response With integral time response, the device responds with a variable delay time
depending on the control deviation. The greater the control deviation (ΔU) in
relation to the set bandwidth (B), the shorter the delay time. This means that
the device responds faster to large voltage changes in the grid. Regulation
accuracy improves as a result but the frequency of tap-changes increases
too.
Figure 54: Diagram for integral time response
ΔU/B Control deviation "ΔU" as % of desired value in relation to the set

bandwidth "B" as % of desired value
1 "Delay time T1" parameter
To set the time response T1, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Time response T1.
7.2.4 Delay time T2

You can use this parameter to set the delay time T2. Delay time T2 is used
to compensate for large control deviations faster.

The delay time T2 only takes effect if more than one tap-change operation is
required to correct the control deviation. The first output pulse occurs after
the set delay time T1. After the set tap-change delay time T2 has elapsed,
additional pulses occur in order to correct the existing control deviation.
The following requirements must be noted to set delay time T2:

▪ The delay time T2 must be greater than the switching pulse time.
▪ The delay time T2 must be greater than the maximum operating time of
the motor-drive unit.
▪ The delay time T2 must be less than the value set for delay time T1.
Behavior with delay times T1 and T2
Delay time T2 can be used to correct major control deviations more quickly.
Ensure that you set a lower value in the "Delay time T2" parameter than in
the "Delay time T1" parameter.
If the measured voltage Uactual deviates from the set bandwidth for a long
period , a control impulse is output to the motor-drive unit after the set de-
lay time T1 . If the measured voltage Uactual is still outside the bandwidth,

delay time T2 starts once delay time T1 is complete. Once delay time T2
is complete, a control impulse is again output to the motor-drive unit for the
tap change to return to the tolerance bandwidth.

C Delay time T2 complete. Tap

To set the delay time T2 proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Delay time T2.
2. Set delay time T2.
Activating delay time T2
To activate delay time T2, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Control > Activate delay T2.

7.2.5 Setting regulation mode

If you are measuring the voltage and current with the 3-phase UI 3 measur-
ing module, you can use this parameter to set whether you want 1-phase
voltage regulation or voltage regulation to the average value of the 3 phases.
You can select the following options:
▪ Single-phase: Voltage is automatically regulated to one selected phase.
Limit value monitoring, line drop compensation, and parallel operation
also take place on the selected phase using the circulating reactive cur-
rent minimization method.
▪ Average value regulation: Voltage is automatically regulated to the aver-
age of the 3 phases. Limit value monitoring, line drop compensation,
and parallel operation also take place using the circulating reactive cur-
rent minimization method to the average of the 3 phases.
If you activate the average value regulation option, automatic voltage regu-
lation is blocked should the voltage or current measurement of one of the 3
phases fail.
To set the regulation mode, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Measurement.

7.4 Control of the motor-drive unit

You can use the following parameters to configure control of the motor-drive
unit. You can set the following:
▪ Switching pulse
▪ Motor runtime
▪ Switching direction
Figure 57: Setting control of the motor-drive unit
7.4.1 Setting the switching pulse for controlling the motor-drive unit
You can use the switching pulse type, switching pulse time and switching
pulse pause parameters to adapt the switching pulse of the TAPCON® to
the requirements of the motor-drive unit's control.
Selecting switching pulse type
You can use this parameter to toggle the switching pulse between a continu-
ous pulse or time-controlled switching pulse.

Continuous pulse Selecting the "Continuous pulse" option causes the TAPCON® to issue the
switching pulse in AVR Auto operating mode until the measured value is
back within the bandwidth. In AVR Manual operating mode, the device is-
sues the switching pulse for as long as you press the or key.
If the TAPCON® is operated as a follower in parallel operation in this case,

then the TAPCON® issues the switching pulse until one of the following re-
quirements has been met:
▪ The set motor runtime has been reached
▪ The Motor running signal switches states from 1 to 0
▪ The tap position required by the master has been reached
A pause is enforced after every switching pulse before another switching

pulse is issued.
Time-controlled switching Selecting the "Time-controlled switching pulse" option causes the
pulse TAPCON® to issue the switching pulse for a set duration. A pause is en-
forced after every switching pulse before another switching pulse is is-
sued.
If you use a motor-drive unit from Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH, you

need to select the "Time-controlled switching pulse" option.
Figure 58: Switching pulse time and switching pulse pause
1 Switching pulse time 2 Switching pulse pause
To select the switching pulse type, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Switching pulse
type.

Setting the switching pulse time
You can use the switching pulse time parameter to set the maximum dura-
tion of the switching pulse. It resets after the switching pulse time has
elapsed or if the TAPCON® receives the Motor running signal beforehand or
the tap position is changed.
To set the switching pulse time, proceed as follows:

time.
2. Enter switching pulse time.
Setting the switching pulse pause
You can use this parameter to set the switching pulse pause between 2
switching pulses. The TAPCON® can only issue another switching pulse
once the switching pulse pause has elapsed.
To set the switching pulse pause, proceed as follows:

pause.
2. Enter switching pulse pause.
7.4.2 Setting motor runtime monitoring

The motor-drive unit's runtime can be monitored by the device. This function
is used to identify motor-drive unit malfunctions during the tap-change oper-
ation and to trigger any actions needed.
Behavior The motor-drive unit issues the Motor-drive unit running signal during the
tap-change operation. This signal is present until the tap-change operation is
complete. The device compares the duration of this signal with the set motor
runtime. If the set motor runtime is exceeded, the device triggers the follow-
ing actions:
1. Motor runtime exceeded event.
2. Pulse signal via Trigger motor protective switch output relay
Note that motor-drive units with cycle settings or motor-drive units without
stepped switching behavior will run for longer under certain circumstances.
Set a longer motor runtime for such units.
The following parameters are available to configure the motor runtime moni-
toring:
▪ Motor runtime
▪ Motor runtime monitoring

Motor runtime
You can use this parameter to set the motor runtime. Proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Motor runtime moni-
toring.
2. Enter motor runtime.
Motor runtime monitoring
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate motor runtime monitor-
ing. Proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Motor runtime moni-
toring.
7.4.3 Setting the switching direction

You can use this parameter to set the switching direction. This lets you ad-
just the behavior of the device based on how your on-load tap-changer and
motor-drive unit are configured. You can select the following options:
Setting Meaning
Standard The device issues a signal via the Raise output to in-
crease the voltage.
The device issues a signal via the Lower output to re-
duce the voltage.
Swapped The device issues a signal via the Lower output to in-
crease the voltage.
The device issues a signal via the Raise output to re-
duce the voltage.
Table 26: Behavior
To set the switching direction, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Motor control > Switching direction.
7.4.4 Setting switching direction monitoring

You can use this parameter to set the switching direction monitoring. This
function monitors whether a tap-change operation in the wrong direction has
been undertaken (e.g. due to a wiring mistake).

If a tap-change operation in the wrong direction is detected, the device is-

sues the event message Switching direction monitoring and blocks automat-
ic voltage regulation. Automatic voltage regulation is blocked until you ac-
knowledge [► 167] the event.
Switching direction monitoring is not active if you control the motor-drive unit
with a continuous pulse [► 98].
To set the switching direction monitoring, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Motor control > Switching direction
monitoring.

7.5 Line drop compensation

You can use the compensation function to compensate for the load-depend-
ent voltage drop between the transformer and consumer. The device pro-
vides 2 methods of compensation for this purpose:
▪ R&X compensation
▪ Z compensation
Figure 59: Setting line drop compensation
Note the description below for configuration of line drop compensation.

7.5.1 R&X compensation

R&X compensation can compensate for voltage losses on the lines and
therefore ensure correct voltage on the consumer. This requires precise line
data. After you have entered all of the line data, the TAPCON® automatically
calculates the ohmic and inductive voltage drop and takes this into account
for automatic voltage regulation.
Figure 60: Equivalent circuit of R&X compensation
Figure 61: Phasor diagram of R&X compensation
To use the R&X compensation, you have to enter the following line data:
▪ Ohmic resistance load in mΩ/m
▪ Inductive resistance load in mΩ/m
▪ Length of line in km
Selecting R&X compensation
To select R&X compensation, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Compensation meth-
od.
2. Select R&X compensation option.

Setting ohmic resistance load
To enter the value for ohmic resistance load, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Ohmic resistance
load.
2. Enter ohmic resistance load.
Setting inductive resistance load
To enter the value for inductive resistance load, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Inductive resistance
load.
2. Enter inductive resistance load.
Entering length of line
To enter the length of line, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Length of line.
2. Enter length of line.
7.5.2 Z compensation
To keep the voltage constant for the consumer, you can use Z compensation
to activate a current-dependent increase in voltage. You can also define a
limit value to avoid excess voltage on the transformer.
Figure 62: Z compensation

To use Z compensation, you need to calculate the increase in voltage (ΔU)

taking the current into account. Use the following formula for this purpose:
∆U Voltage increase I Load current in A

UTr Transformer voltage at IN Nominal current of current-
current I transformer connection in A
ULoad Voltage on line end at cur- kCT Transmission ratio of current
rent I and on-load tap- transformer
changer in same operating
position
Sample calculation: UTr = 100.1 V, ULoad = 100.0 V, IN = 5 A kCT = 200 A/5 A,

I = 100 A
Produces a voltage increase ∆U of 0.2%
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters you need
for Z compensation.
Selecting Z compensation
To select Z compensation, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Compensation meth-
od.
2. Select the Z compensation option.
Setting the current-dependent voltage increase
You can use this parameter to set the voltage increase ∆U.
To set the limit value for voltage increase ΔU, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Voltage increase.
2. Enter voltage increase.
Setting voltage limit value
You can use this parameter to define the maximum permissible voltage in-
crease to avoid excess voltage on the transformer.
To set the voltage limit value, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Compensation > Voltage limit value.
2. Enter voltage limit value.

7.6 Tap position capture

The current tap position of the on-load tap-changer is transmitted from the
motor-drive unit to the device. You can define the type of tap position cap-
ture during the order. You cannot change it subsequently using a menu.
In accordance with your order, the tap position is transmitted in one of the
following ways:
▪ Digital signal
– BCD
– Dual code
– Gray code
– N/O contact series
– Decade contact series
▪ Analog signal
– Injected current (0/4…20 mA)
– Voltage (0…10 V)
– Resistor contact series
7.6.1 Digital tap position capture

The tap position can optionally be transmitted from the motor-drive unit to
the device as a digital signal. No further settings are needed.
7.6.2 Analog tap position capture

For the analog tap position capture, you must set which tap positions corre-
spond to the minimum analog signal and maximum analog signal.
The device is configured at the factory according to the order. However,

should modifications be necessary, note the following sections.

Figure 63: Setting analog tap position capture
Pos. at max. analog signal
You can use this parameter to set the tap position of the on-load tap-chang-
er corresponding to the maximum analog signal (e.g. 20 mA for 4...20 mA
signal).
To set the tap position at the maximum analog signal, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Analog tap position capture > Pos. at max. analog
signal.
2. Set the tap position.
3. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter
Pos. at min. analog signal
You can use this parameter to set the tap position of the on-load tap-chang-
er corresponding to the minimum analog signal (e.g. 4 mA for 4...20 mA sig-
nal).
To set the lower tap position, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Analog tap position capture > Pos. at min. analog
signal.
2. Set the tap position.
Calibrate tap position capture over resistor contact series (optional)
Carry out the calibration at an ambient temperature that corresponds to nor-

mal operating conditions. This allows you to reduce measurement errors
due to temperature fluctuations.

To capture the tap position via resistor contact series, you need to calibrate
the resistor contact series. To do so, proceed as follows:
ü The "Upper tap position" and "Lower tap position" parameters are set
correctly.
1. Select the menu item Settings > Calibrate hardware > Calibrate
WKR .
2. Press the Start calibration button.
3. Press or until the on-load tap-changer reaches the highest

tap position.
4. Press the Confirm button.
5. Press or until the on-load tap-changer reaches the lowest

tap position.
6. Press the Confirm button.
ð The Calibration successful message appears.
7.7 Parallel operation

Parallel transformer operation is used to increase the throughput capacity or
short-circuit capacity at one location. The device provides you with specific
functions for regulating transformers.
Conditions for parallel Compliance with the following general conditions is required for operating
operation transformers in parallel:
▪ Identical rated voltages
▪ Transformer power ratio (< 3 : 1)
▪ Maximum deviation of short-circuit voltages (UK) for transformers con-
nected in parallel < 10%
▪ Same number of switching groups
▪ For parallel operation with CAN communication: Current transformers
with the same rated values must be used for all devices operating in
parallel
7.7.1 Parallel operation methods

You can undertake parallel operation with various parallel operation meth-
ods.

7.7.1.1 Tap synchronization
With the tap synchronization parallel operation method one voltage regula-
tor works as the master and all others as followers.
Master Follower
Tap position
CAN bus
Figure 64: Tap synchronization
The master handles voltage regulation and transmits its current tap positions
to all followers via the CAN bus. The followers compare the tap position re-
ceived with their own tap position. If the tap position is not the same, the fol-
lowers switch to the tap position received from the master. This ensures that
the transformers operating in parallel are always in the same tap position.
You can set whether the master transfers the change in tap position to the
followers before or after its own tap-change operation. The devices then ei-
ther change position sequentially (first the master, then the followers) or in
synch (master and followers at the same time).
If there is a tap difference between the master and followers, the master re-
frains from issuing any control commands to the motor-drive unit until all of
the followers have reached the same tap position. If the tap difference per-
sists for longer than the set delay time for parallel operation error messages,
the master triggers the Step difference to follower event.
You can explicitly designate the voltage regulators as master and followers,
or set automatic designation using the CAN bus address.
For the tap synchronization parallel operation method, you have to set the
following parameters:

7.7.1.2 Circulating reactive current minimization with CAN bus communication
With the circulating reactive current parallel operation method, parallel op-
eration is carried out using the circulating reactive current minimization meth-
od.
U, I, cosφ
CAN bus
Figure 65: Circulating reactive current minimization with CAN bus communication
The circulating reactive current is calculated from the transformer currents

and their phase angles. The voltage regulators in the parallel operation
group share this information via CAN bus. An extra control deviation propor-
tional to circulating reactive current is added to the independently regulating
voltage regulators as a correction for the control deviation determined on the
basis of the measurement voltage. You can use the circulating reactive cur-
rent sensitivity parameter to decrease or increase this extra control devia-
tion.

The circulating reactive current method is suited to transformers connected

in parallel with a similar nominal output and short-circuit voltage UK and to
vector groups with the same and different step voltages. This does not re-
quire any information about the tap position.
Note that the following prerequisites must be met for the "circulating reactive
current minimization" parallel operation method:
▪ You have to use current transformers with the same rated values for all
transformers in parallel operation.
▪ If you wish to operate in parallel operation with existing devices, you
have to activate the Retrofit TAPCON® 2xx [► 117] parameter.
For the circulating reactive current minimization parallel operation method

with CAN communication, you have to set the following parameters:
▪ Activate parallel operation
▪ Parallel operation method: Circulating reactive current
▪ CAN bus address
▪ Circulating reactive current sensitivity
▪ Circul. reactive current blocking limit
▪ Error if no communication present
▪ Behavior if no communication present
▪ Parallel operation error delay time

communication
With this method, you can operate several voltage regulators without a com-
munication connection (CAN bus) in parallel with circulating reactive current
minimization.

Figure 66: Circulating reactive current minimization without CAN bus communication
The circulating reactive current is calculated using the desired power factor
parameter, the desired load stress type parameter, and the measured trans-
former current. An extra control deviation proportional to circulating reactive

current is added to the independently regulating voltage regulators as a cor-

rection for the control deviation determined on the basis of the measurement
voltage. This extra control deviation depends on how much the measured
power factor deviates from the desired power factor.
To use the power factor method, you need to know the conditions of your
network in order to correctly set the device parameters.
The power factor method is suited to transformers connected in parallel with

a similar nominal output and short-circuit voltage UK and to vector groups
with the same and different step voltages. This does not require any informa-
tion about the tap position.
For the circulating reactive current minimization parallel operation method

without CAN communication, you have to set the following parameters:
▪ Activate parallel operation
▪ Parallel operation method: Power factor
▪ Circulating reactive current sensitivity
▪ Circul. reactive current blocking limit
▪ Desired power factor
▪ Desired load stress type
▪ Parallel operation error delay time
7.7.2 Configuring parallel operation

In the Parallel operation menu item, you can set the parameters needed for
parallel transformer operation.
Figure 67: Setting parallel operation
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters.
7.7.2.1 Activating parallel operation
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate parallel operation.

To activate or deactivate parallel operation, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Activate parallel
operation.
2. Select the option you want from the list field.
7.7.2.2 Setting parallel operation method
You can use this parameter to set the parallel operation method. You can

method
Table 28: Setting parallel operation method
To select the parallel operation method, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Parallel opera-
tion method.
7.7.2.3 Assigning a CAN bus address
You can use this parameter to assign a CAN bus address to the device. So
that all devices can communicate using the CAN bus, each device requires a
unique identifier. If the value is set to 0, then no communication takes place.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > CAN bus ad-
dress.

2. Enter CAN bus address.

7.7.2.4 Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity
You can use this parameter to set the influence of circulating reactive current
on how the control deviation is calculated. The higher the set value, the
greater the calculated control deviation as a result of circulating reactive cur-
rent.
To determine the ideal circulating reactive current sensitivity, note the rele-
vant section in the Commissioning [► 59] chapter.
To set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation >Circulating reac-
tive current sensitivity.
2. Enter the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
7.7.2.5 Setting the circulating reactive current blocking limit
You can use this parameter to set the limit value for the maximum permissi-
ble circulating reactive current. This value relates to the rated current of the
current transformer. If, during parallel operation, the circulating reactive cur-
rent exceeds the set limit value, the device triggers the Circulating reactive
current blocking limit exceeded event. All devices operating in the parallel
operation group are blocked.
To set the circulating reactive current blocking limit, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Circulating reac-
tive current blocking limit.
2. Enter the circulating reactive current blocking limit.
7.7.2.6 Setting desired power factor
You can use this parameter to set the power factor, which the transformer
has under normal operating conditions. If the measured power factor devi-
ates from the desired one, the device calculates a correction which is added
to the control deviation.
Enter a desired power factor other than 0. If you enter a desired power fac-
tor of 0, the device is not able to calculate the voltage correction.
To set the desired power factor, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Desired power
factor.

2. Enter the desired power factor.

7.7.2.7 Setting desired load stress type
You can use this parameter to set the load stress type, which the transform-
er has under normal operating conditions.
You can determine the load stress type using the phase angle difference be-
tween voltage and current. You calculate the phase angle difference as fol-
lows:
Figure 68: Calculation of phase angle difference
φUI Phase angle difference between voltage and current

φU Phase angle of voltage
φI Phase angle of current
Depending on the calculated phase angle difference, you have to select the
following option:
▪ φUI > 0: Inductive
▪ φUI < 0: Capacitive
To set the desired load stress type, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Desired load
stress type.
2. Select the desired load stress type.
7.7.2.8 Setting master/follower current blocking
You can use this parameter to activate the circulating reactive current block-
ing limit for the tap synchronization parallel operation method. The
TAPCON® thereby calculates and monitors the circulating reactive current in
the same manner as for the circulating reactive current minimization parallel
operation method and provides you with the circulating reactive current
blocking safety function. The Circulating reactive current blocking parameter
is used to set the limit value.
To activate circulating reactive current blocking for the tap synchronization

parallel operation method, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Master/follower
current blocking.

7.7.2.9 Setting master/follower switching characteristics
You can use this parameter to set the switching characteristics for the tap
synchronization parallel operation method.. You can select the following op-
tions:
▪ Sequentially: When a tap-change operation takes place, the master
communicates its new tap position to the followers via the CAN bus as
soon as the master has completed its tap-change operation. The tap-
change operations of the master and followers thereby take place one
after another (sequentially).
▪ In synch: When a tap-change operation takes place, the master commu-
nicates its new tap position to the followers via the CAN bus as the mas-
ter starts its tap-change operation. The tap-change operations of the
master and followers thereby take place at almost the same time (in
synch).
To set the master/follower switching characteristics, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Master/follower
switching characteristics.
7.7.2.10 Setting the maximum tap difference
You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible tap difference
between followers and master on the follower.
If the tap difference is greater than the set maximum tap difference to the
master, the follower blocks and no longer attempts to attain the master's tap
position. After the set delay time for parallel operation error messages has
elapsed, the follower issues the Permitted tap difference to master exceeded
message.
To set the maximum permissible tap difference, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Maximum tap
difference.
2. Enter the maximum tap difference.
7.7.2.11 Setting error if no communication present
You can use this parameter to set whether it is an error if the device does
not receive any messages via the CAN bus or if there are no other CAN bus
participants in the same parallel operation group.
To set the parameters, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Error if no com-
munication present.

7.7.2.12 Setting behavior if no communication present
You can use this parameter to set how the voltage regulator behaves if com-
munication via the CAN bus is not possible.
The setting for this parameter is only effective if you have selected the Error
option for the Error if no communication present parameter.
Option Description
Independent regu- The device switches from parallel operation to nor-
lation mal automatic voltage regulation
Auto blocking Automatic voltage regulation is blocked.
cosφ interpolation Continuation of parallel operation with interpolated
values (only possible with circulating reactive cur-
rent parallel operation method)
Table 29: Behavior if no communication present
To set the behavior, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Behavior if no
communication present.
7.7.2.13 Setting delay time for parallel operation error messages
You can use this parameter to set the delay time for a parallel operation er-
ror message so that brief fault messages are not received if the motor-drive
units involved in the parallel operation have different runtimes.
To set the delay time for the parallel operation error message, proceed as
follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Delay time for
the parallel operation error message.
2. Enter the delay time.
7.7.3 TAPCON® 2xx retrofit

The TAPCON® 2xx retrofit function allows you to operate the device in par-
allel operation with existing devices. Parallel operation with the following ex-
isting devices is supported:
▪ TAPCON® 230 pro/expert

▪ TAPCON® 240
▪ TAPCON® 250
▪ TAPCON® 260
▪ TRAFOGUARD® with "Voltage regulation" options package
If you wish to operate several devices in parallel operation with existing devi-
ces, you have to activate the TAPCON® 2xx retrofit function on each device.
Figure 69: Parallel operation of 2 devices with one TAPCON® 2xx. The TAPCON®
2xx retrofit function must be active on both devices.
To activate the TAPCON® 2xx retrofit function, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > TAPCON® 2xx retrofit > TAPCON®
2xx retrofit.
7.7.4 Detecting parallel operation via group inputs (optional)

You can control up to 16 transformers connected in parallel in one or 2
groups without detecting the system topology.
The devices in parallel operation only use the information communicated by

devices in the same parallel operation group via CAN bus.
You can use the PARALLEL GROUP 1 and PARALLEL GROUP 2 inputs to
assign the device to a parallel operation group. If you create a signal at both
inputs, the device is assigned to both parallel operation groups.
If no parallel operation group is assigned to a device, it doesn't take part in

the parallel operation and undertakes its own voltage regulation.

7.7.5 Detecting parallel operation via topology (optional)

The topology function is used to detect which transformers are in parallel op-
eration on the basis of the position of the circuit breakers. Each circuit break-
er is fitted with an auxiliary contact so that its status can be reported for this
purpose.
Figure 70: Example of a circuit breaker configuration
A TAPCON® records the status of the circuit breakers via digital inputs and
reports this to the connected TAPCON® by CAN bus. On the basis of the
CAN bus message, the TAPCON® decide whether parallel operation is ac-
tive or not.
Topology master Topology client Topology client
Figure 71: Operating principle

The TAPCON® are split into two groups for data transmission by CAN bus:
▪ Topology master: TAPCON®, which records the status of the circuit
breakers via digital inputs and reports this by CAN bus.
▪ Topology client: TAPCON®, which receives the status of the circuit
breakers by CAN bus.
7.7.5.1 Setting topology master
To configure the topology master, you need to undertake the following set-
tings:
▪ Prim/sec. topology
▪ Name of transformers 1(2)...16
▪ CAN bus address
▪ Circuit breaker configuration
Prim/sec. topology
You can use this parameter to set the condition for when the transformers
are connected in parallel. You can select the following options:
▪ Secondary side: Transformers are considered to be connected in paral-
lel when the circuit breakers on the secondary side of the transformers
are closed.
▪ Both sides: Transformers are considered to be connected in parallel
when the circuit breakers on the primary and secondary sides of the
transformers are closed.
▪ At least one side: Transformers are considered to be connected in par-
allel when the circuit breakers on the primary or secondary side of the
transformers are closed.
To set the condition, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Prim/sec topolo-
gy.
Name of transformers 1(2)...16
You can use these parameters to set the name of the transformers. The de-
vice uses the name in the information display for the topology.
To set the transformer name, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Name of trans-
formers 1(2)...16.
2. Enter the desired name.

CAN bus address
Set the CAN bus address of the topology master to 1. Observe the informa-
tion provided in the Assigning CAN bus address [► 113] section.
Circuit breaker configuration
You can set the assignment of circuit breakers to the individual node points.
The TAPCON® uses the assignment to detect which transformers are con-
nected in parallel with one another.
Upon delivery, the device is configured in accordance with your order. Note
the connection diagram provided for the configuration.
Note the following conventions for the circuit breaker configuration:

▪ Nodes 1...16 correspond to the secondary side of transformers 1...16
(node 1 = transformer 1, node 2 = transformer 2 ...).
▪ You can use nodes 17...48 to configure the connection of the circuit
breakers on the secondary side.
▪ Nodes 49...64 correspond to the primary side of transformers 1...16
(node 49 = transformer 1, node 50 = transformer 2 ...)
▪ You can use nodes 65...80 to configure the connection of the circuit
breakers on the primary side.
If you assign the node A = 0 and node B = 0 node pair to a circuit breaker,
the circuit breaker is deactivated for topology recording.
You have to assign a node pair to every circuit breaker. To do so, proceed
as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Topology.
Figure 72: Configuring topology

2. Select the circuit breaker you want.
Figure 73: Configuring topology for circuit breaker 1
3. Enter the desired node numbers in the node A and node B fields.
7.7.5.2 Setting topology client
To use the device as topology client, you need to set the CAN bus address.
Set the topology client's CAN bus address to a value greater than 1. Ob-
serve the information provided in the Assigning CAN bus address [► 113]
section.
7.8 Limit values

For various measured values, you can define limit values which are moni-
tored by the device. Depending on the measured value, you can define dif-
ferent numbers of limit values. The following measured values can be moni-
tored:
2nd lower 1st lower 1st upper 2nd up-

limit limit limit per limit
Voltage U<< U< U> U>>
Current I<< I< I> I>>
Apparent power S<< S< S> S>>
Active power P<< P< P> P>>
Reactive power Q<< Q< Q> Q>>
Power factor cos phi<< cos phi< - -
Bandwidth - B%< B%> -
Tap position - Position< Position> -
Table 30: Limit values

The "lower" limit values are monitored for whether the measured value
reaches or falls below the limit value. The "upper" limit values are monitored
for whether the measured value reaches or exceeds the limit value.
If you are measuring voltage and current in 3 phases, you can also monitor
the following limit values:
▪ Difference in voltage between the 3 phases: ∆U 3ph
▪ Phase symmetry between the 3 phases: ∆φ 3ph
Various parameters for configuring limit value monitoring are provided for
each limit value.
The parameters available and ways in which they can be selected may vary
depending on the limit value.
Figure 74: Schematic diagram of limit value monitoring (taking example of "Upper
limit value")
1 Limit value 4 Delay time

2 Hysteresis A Duration of set "behavior"
3 Measured value
Relative/absolute limit value
You can use this parameter to set whether the device is to use the "Absolute
limit value" or "Relative limit value".
Absolute limit value
You can use this parameter to set the limit value as a fixed absolute value.
Unlike the relative value, this limit is not dependent on a reference value.

Relative limit value
You can use this parameter to set the limit value relative to a reference val-
ue.
Hysteresis limit value
You can use this parameter to set the hysteresis. For "Upper limit value", the
hysteresis is deducted from the limit value and for "Lower limit value", it is
added to the limit value. When a limit value is infringed, the set device be-
havior is only reset once the measured value has exceeded the hysteresis.
The purpose of the hysteresis is to allow the device to ignore small fluctua-
tions around the limit value.
Delay time limit value
With this parameter, you can set the delay time. If a limit value is infringed,
the device only undertakes the set behavior once the delay time has
elapsed. The purpose of the delay time is to allow the device to ignore brief
limit value infringements.
Behavior limit value
You can use this parameter to define how the device behaves when a limit
value is infringed. The options available may vary depending on the limit val-
ue. The following options are available:
Option Description
Off The limit value is not monitored.
High-speed re- The device continues to perform tap-change opera-
turn tions in the required direction until the limit value is no
longer infringed. The devices ignores the set delay
time T1 of automatic voltage regulation.

To monitor the transformer's current output voltage, you can set 4 limit val-
ues:
▪ Undervoltage U<<
▪ Undervoltage U<
▪ Overvoltage U>
▪ Overvoltage U>>
You can set the following parameters for each limit value: A detailed descrip-
tion of the limit value concept and parameters can be found in the Limit val-
ues [► 122] section.
▪ Relative/absolute limit value
▪ Limit value [V]: Absolute limit value
▪ Limit value [%]: Limit value relative to desired voltage value
▪ Hysteresis limit value

er

limit values:
Apparent power S<< S< S> S>>
Active power P<< P< P> P>>
Reactive power Q<< Q< Q> Q>>
Power factor cos phi<< cos phi< - -
Table 32: Limit values for power monitoring
You can set the following parameters for each limit value. A detailed descrip-
▪ Limit value: Absolute limit value
Behavior If the limit value is exceeded, the device issues a message .
To set the power monitoring, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Power monitoring.
3. Set parameter.

7.8.4 Bandwidth monitoring

The following limit values are monitored by the bandwidth monitoring. The
set bandwidth [► 83] is used for this purpose.
▪ Upper bandwidth
▪ Lower bandwidth
▪ Hysteresis limit value: Input a percentage with reference to the desired
voltage value.
Behavior If the limit value is exceeded, the device issues the Upper bandwidth limit
value/Lower bandwidth limit value message.
The "Function monitoring" function is used to detect long periods when val-
ues exceed or fall below the bandwidth. Long periods when values exceed
or fall below the bandwidth indicate a problem with the device function be-
cause the device is not able to correct the control deviation.
Behavior If the value falls below or exceeds the set bandwidth [► 83], the Function
monitoring event is displayed after the set delay time for function monitoring
has elapsed. The event is automatically acknowledged as soon as the
measured value returns to within the set bandwidth.
The following parameters are available for setting function monitoring:

▪ Function monitoring
▪ Hysteresis
▪ Delay time

7.8.5 Switching interval monitoring

You can this function to monitor the typical tap-change behavior of your
transformer. To do this, you can set the number of consecutive operations
permissible in auto mode within a defined time period.
You can have the following operations monitored:

▪ Total operations: Total raise operations and lower operations
▪ Lower operations: Total lower operations

You can set the following parameters for the respective operations:
Time interval
You can use this parameter to set the time interval in which the maximum
number of tap-change operations must not be exceeded.
Maximum number of tap-change operations
If the maximum permissible number of tap-change operations within the set

time interval is exceeded, the device triggers the corresponding response
(e.g. message).
Counting behavior (only with raise or lower tap-change operations)
You can use this parameter to set whether intermediate raise or lower tap-
change operations reset the internal counter. You can select the following
options:
▪ On:
– The internal counter for consecutive lower tap-change operations is
reset during a RAISE operation.
– The internal counter for consecutive raise tap-change operations is
reset during a LOWER operation.
▪ Off: The internal counter is not reset by intermediate raise or lower tap-
change operations.

You can use this parameter to set the behavior of the TAPCON® if the maxi-
mum permissible number of tap-change operations is exceeded:
Setting Behavior
Off Switching interval monitoring is disabled.
Switching to The event is displayed for the set duration of the re-
manual mode sponse. The TAPCON® automatically switches to man-
ual mode.
Auto blocking The event is displayed for the set duration of the re-
sponse. Automatic voltage regulation is blocked. You
can wait for the blocking time to expire or switch to man-
ual mode by hand and then to auto mode. The event is
reset and blocking is cleared.

lows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Power flow monitoring > Behavior.
2. Select the option you want from the list box.
Setting the hysteresis
You can use this parameter to set the hysteresis. You can use this to avoid
the unnecessary generation of messages if the measured value fluctuates
around a threshold value.
To set the hysteresis, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Power flow monitoring > Hysteresis.
2. Enter hysteresis.
Setting the delay time
You can use this parameter to set the delay time to delay the issuing of the
Reversal of power flow message.

1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Power flow monitoring > Delay time.
2. Enter delay time.

7.10 Target-tap-position operation

To set the target tap position, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Move to the defined target tap posi-
tion.
2. Enter target tap position.
7.11 Analog value output

You can use the analog value output function to output measured or calcu-
lated values as an analog signal (e.g. 4...20 mA). Depending on device con-
figuration, you can output the following values:
▪ Desired value Uref
▪ Tap position Pos
▪ Voltage U1
▪ Current I1
▪ Active current Ip
▪ Reactive current Iq
▪ Active power P
▪ Reactive power Q
▪ Apparent power S
The device is configured at the factory according to the order. However,

should modifications be necessary, note the following sections.

tion to the one with which it was delivered.

7.14.8.3 Configuring GOOSE subscriber
If you configure the device as a GOOSE subscriber, you can receive

GOOSE messages from an IED in the network and link them to device func-
tions. You can therefore display all the device's digital input signals using
GOOSE.
Requirements of the GOOSE datagram
In order to link GOOSE datagrams of an IED with device functions, the IED
must contain a GOOSE control block (GSEControl) in the LN0 node and a
valid DataSet and GSE block. The referenced DataSet may contain data ob-
jects (DO) or data attributes (DA). The maximum number of usable data
points per GOOSE message is defined in Private Element type="MR-MAX-
GOOSE-SUBSCRIBER-FCDA".
You can only use data points with bType BOOLEAN (true | false) and Dbpos
(intermediate-state | off | on | bad-state). The functional constraint must be of
type ST.
Value Description
true | on Is used as logical value 1
false | off Is used as logical value 0
intermediate-state Last value received is retained
bad-state Error status, value is identified as invalid
Table 35: Description of values
The device automatically assesses the quality. If the device receives a quali-
ty not equal to 0, the value is also interpreted as invalid. The device then
generates the IEC 61850 GOOSE communication defective event message.
Example:

Function Averaging starts with a rising edge of Enable.
This does not affect averaging which is already
underway. Any output value remaining from ear-
lier is retained. The Done output becomes
FALSE, the Started output becomes TRUE.
Active averaging is interrupted with a rising
edge of Reset. Average is set to zero, Done and
Started become FALSE. If Enable is also TRUE
during the rising Reset edge, a new averaging
process is started.
Done becomes TRUE and Started becomes
FALSE once averaging is complete. Done re-
mains TRUE until a Reset is detected or new
averaging is triggered by a rising edge of Ena-
ble.
If AutoRepeat and Enable are TRUE, a new
averaging process is automatically started each
time averaging is completed. Done is set for one
cycle each time averaging is completed.
The SampleCount output states how many sam-
ples have already been recorded.
Sample time ms is the desired sample time in
milliseconds. It is rounded up to the next whole
multiple of the task cycle time and has a lower
limit of at least one task cycle time.
Time ms is the time period desired for averag-
ing. It is internally rounded up to the next whole
multiple of the sample time and has a lower limit
of at least one sample time.

CAUTION Electric shock!

The inputs of the DIO assembly have plug-based electrical isolation. A mix-
ture of voltage ranges (e.g. extra low voltage and low voltage) or various
phases within a plug can lower the protection against electric shock.
► Use the same voltage ranges within a plug.
► Use the same phase within a plug.
