5.2 Risks & Protection
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
Your equipment may imply various risks for you or your equipment.
These risks essentially concern Electricity
• electric shock
• transient increases and decreases in electrical power
• electrostatic discharge
As a result, you may be injured and/or your operator station may suffer
damage. Please remember that operating or working inside your
equipment may impact your physical integrity.
POWER OFF
Power off your equipment before hardware installation.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

Most electronic equipment is influenced by radio frequency
interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to the use
of portable communications equipment around such equipment. Signs
should be posted near the equipment cautioning against the use of
portable communication equipment.
STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES

Modules in the ALSPA system may contain static sensitive devices
which can be damaged by incorrect handling of the module. The
procedure for module removal is detailed in relevant product
descriptions and must be followed. All ALSPA equipment must have
labels fitted to the personnel to observe antistatic precautions when
touching modules.
5.3 Standards & codes
ALSPA Control System’s operation station has been developed, manufactured and
tested in compliance with the relevant standards.
All these standards are indicated in the following document
ALSPA System - Standards and Codes ptp20a49970

compliance with its standards.
The abovementioned document specifies the certification, the operating environment
and the electro-magnetic environment in which your equipment should be operated.

7/121
5.4 General
The following section describes the troubleshooting system, and provides fault location
procedures, starting with fault messages generated by the regulator. It helps
maintenance operators locate system faults, from indications provided by the
diagnostic system, and gives instructions for consequent repair.
To assess the correct operation or possible fault conditions of the equipment,
diagnostic information is provided by:
• Diodes on the regulator boards (inside the excitation cubicle),
• Alarms displayed on the ControLCP located on the front door of the cubicle (see the
relevant drawing),
• Alarms displayed by the remote control system.
Both the remote and the local alarms can be used for fault location, but local alarms
provide more useful details for troubleshooting.
Before you proceed with acknowledge of the defaults, the source and reason of the
fault shall be clearly identified. Make sure that the fault is not caused by external
equipment, for example by network disturbances. Then you can acknowledge the fault
message (and eventually to reset the CPU board) from the ControLCP and restart the
excitation system. If the fault has disappeared, the system will immediately resume its
normal operation. If the fault is still present, another alarm will be displayed.
Before replacing a faulty component (and particularly an electronic board), it is
necessary to check the configuration and settings of the new component.

8/121
5.5 Safety requirements
Before any action detailed in this manual is carried out, the Site Health and Safety
Instructions should be read and fully understood. The instructions in this document
should also be read and fully understood.
Safety procedures have to be followed to lock the excitation system during operations
inside the excitation cubicle by using a key switch or other equivalent devices.
High voltages and heavy currents are present inside the cubicle and on the excitation
transformer. Accidental contact with live parts (field breaker, busbars,...) can cause
serious injury.
Maintenance works should only be carried out with the excitation system switched off
and all sensitive parts (field breaker, discharging resistors, ...) discharged. Before any
work is carried out, the cubicle must be earthed.
NOTE: If the thyristor bridge is provided with a disconnecting switch, the thyristor
bridge maintenance can be performed on-line.
Requirements to maintenance personnel
Whenever the equipment is operated, maintained or used in any way, the procedures
in the Site Health and Safety Manual and any procedures detailed in these instructions
should be followed.
All maintenance personnel must be trained on preventive and corrective maintenance.
They must be well acquainted with the excitation system, its power supply structure
(redundancy, etc...), as well as its operating modes (local, remote ...).
Personnel must be informed and trained in emergency actions like emergency shut
down, fire fighting etc...
Only authorised personnel may perform manipulations inside the excitation cubicle.
Electronic boards may be sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Maintenance

technicians should wear anti-static equipment or they have to discharge themselves to
an unpainted surface of the cubicle. Electronic boards must be stored in appropriate
bags. Use an antistatic bench, connected to the ground of the cubicle, to work on the
electronic boards.
Before replacing a board, it is recommended to check that all boards are properly
connected.
The hardware must be switched off before removing or installing a board.

9/121
5.6 Diagnostic
Fault detection is mainly based on alarm LEDs of the regulator boards, and on trouble
shooting messages displayed on the ControLCP or in the control room.

Local fault finding facilities
Fault finding facilities are provided by LEDs in front of the different regulator boards,
hence the information is accessible after opening the door of the regulator
compartment in the excitation cubicle.
To avoid loss of useful troubleshooting information, you should try to analyse the faults
before disconnecting the power supply from the digital voltage regulator.
The internal status of the electronic boards is also indicated by LEDs. Such LEDs are
located on the regulator and regulation dedicated cards (Thyristor Triggering Module).
The information is also accessible after opening the door of the regulator compartment
in the excitation cubicle.
The main faults and status data are available on hard wired terminal board or on E8000
bus (for indication in the control room).
In addition to these indications, error messages are recorded and sent to the
ControLCP and/or to the remote control system.

Legend : : LED unlit. : LED flashing. : LED lit steadily.

26/121
Modbus alarms display
Operational alarms:
Alarms on analogue setpoint line:
The analogue current setpoint is the 4-20mA type. The limit value range is 2-22mA.
The following explains how the module behaves at the extreme values of the
setpoint:
- Less than 2 mA causes regulation on a previous setpoint (i.e. 20 ms) for 100 ms
(or less if it crosses the 4 mA threshold again). After 100ms, the setpoint moves to
an equivalent theoretical value of 2 mA in % and a functional alarm (CRL: line
break) is generated. The TTM211 module then changes to fallback mode when the
parameter CxMa is equal to 0, otherwise it changes to manual mode or remain in
stand-by mode.
- More than 22 mA causes regulation on a previous setpoint (i.e. 20 ms) for 100 ms
(or less if it crosses the 20 mA threshold again). After 100ms, the setpoint moves to
an equivalent theoretical value of 22 mA in % and a functional alarm (CSAT:
saturated setpoint) is generated. The TTM211 module then changes to fallback
mode when the parameter CxMa is equal to 0, otherwise it changes to manual
mode or remain in stand-by mode.
« CRL Rupt. Line ana. setpoint » :

This variable informs the user of whether the analogue setpoint line has been
broken (less than 2mA).
Indications given: . 0: FALSE (the analogue setpoint line is not broken).
. 1: TRUE (break in analogue setpoint line).
« CSAT Saturated ana. setpoint » :
This variable informs the user whether analogue setpoint line is saturated (more
than 22mA).
Indications given: . 0: FALSE (the analogue setpoint line is not saturated).
. 1: TRUE (the analogue setpoint line is saturated).
Alarms concerning the acquisition of synchronisation signals:

The TTM211 module is designed to operate with rated frequency coil supply signals
configured by the parameter FrN which lies between 40 Hz and 450 Hz.
It carries out passage detection through to zero of the power supply phases in order
to directly control the thyristors for the coil current regulation. This also enables it to
check the phase order.
The measurements made are tested by the TTM211 module, which makes it
possible to generate the operational alarms in the event of a fault.
The Pmin, DPIT, DREF and DOPH variables indicate to the user the actual
operational alarms and correspond to the following faults:
Invalid measured period range (Pmin).
Instantaneous measured period out of average range (DPIT).
One phase’s amplitude is very different from the other (DREF).

27/121
Phase order incorrect on start-up or loss of phases when in service (DOPH).
The variables Pmin, DPIT and DOPH are evaluated only starting from one certain
threshold, that is to say the measure MREF greater than the parameter SRFP.
« PMin. Phases period min»:

This variable informs the user whether the period of the coil power signal, which
drives the thyristor bridge, is less than the limit value of 1.72 ms.
Indications given:
. 0: FALSE Signal period greater than the limit value of 1.72 ms. No
alarm.
. 1: TRUE Signal period less than the limit value of 1.72 ms. An
operational alarm is generated.
« DPIT Phases period fault »:

This variable informs the user if time between two interrupts leaves a given range
value of the average measured period. This can happen if one phase signal is
not symmetrical against the 0 volt or if the phase displacement between the
signals is clearly different from 120 °.
This module cannot switch to the auto-AVR mode if this failure is detected on
start up (fallback).
Indications given:
. 0: FALSE The 3 phase’s signals are correct. No alarm.
. 1: TRUE One or more of the phase’s signals are incorrect. An
operational alarm is generated and the fallback mode is entered.
« DREF Phases amplitude fault.»:

This variable indicates to the user whether one phase signal presents one
amplitude different from 20% against the others. This failure is only possible with
a full wave three phase bridge.
This module cannot switch to the auto-AVR mode if this failure is detected on
start up (fallback).
Indications given:
. 0: FALSE The 3 phase’s signals are correct. No alarm.
. 1: TRUE One of the phase’s signal amplitude is incorrect. A n
operational alarm is generated and the fallback mode is entered.
« DOPH Phases order fault»:

This variable indicates to the user whether the synchronisation signals (phases of
current power supply driving the bridge) are in right order. If it occurs when in
operation progress, it signals a problem on the synchronisation signals, such as a
phase loss or a short-circuit.
This module cannot switch to the auto-AVR mode if the phase order detected on
start up is incorrect (fallback).
Indications given:

28/121
.0 : FALSE Phases in order. No alarm.
.1 : TRUE Phases in disorder. An operational alarm is
generated and the fallback mode is entered.
When the parameter CxMa equals 1, the operational alarms CRL and CSAT
and Pmin leads to flashing of the red LED « D ».
When the parameter CxMa equals 0, the operational alarms CRL and CSAT and all
others (except Pmin) leads to light up steadily the red LED « D » .
Hardware alarms:
Any module alarm in progress will steadily light the LED D of the TTM211 module and
set the alarm bits. However, the module alarm that indicates an internal malfunction in
the module may not appear in some cases. In fact, the malfunctions in question may
affect the serial communication with the supervisor or the displays on the LED’s,
making it impossible to diagnose the problem on these indicators.
« ItP1 It Parasite Level 1» to « It Parasite Level 7 »:

These 7 alarm bits indicate unwanted interruptions at various levels. This type of
fault appears when the interruption cycle, set at the indicated level, hasn’t
operated correctly (eg the initiating pulse of the interrupt routine is to short).
« Wd Watchdog (comm HS) »:

This fault appears when the watchdog drops out. The dropping out of the
watchdog indicates the failure of the TTM211 module software. When this type of
fault appears, communication with the module is interrupted.
« ErLo Software error »:

This alarm indicates a software error in the TTM211 module (failure) for an
unknown task.
« IntA Interface absent »:
The TTM211 module is made of the MACO board and one interface board
specific to the TTM211 module application (IP166 board). If the interface is
absent or defective this alarm bit is set to 1.
« IntI Interface unknown »:

The MACO that contains the TTM211module software is not assembled with the
IP166 interface board.
« ECI Configuration incorrect»:

This fault appears when the EEPROM header on the MACO board is not
compatible with the module in which it is installed.

29/121
This type of fault can result from an incorrect configuration (equipment
identification bits) from the EEPROMs of the MACO board, or from their
malfunctioning (EEPROMs out of order)
« ReMo Reload of configuration »:

This alarm indicates the reconfiguration of the TTM211 module by the MODBUS
link is in progress. It corresponds to the downloading of data from the PC to the
module. Wait for the end of reconfiguration before turning off or restarting the
module.
« VCI Version incorrect »:

The version of the configuration installed on the TTM211 module is incorrect (old
version).
Detection of memory fault:

The EEPROMs are designed to initialise the configuration in the RAM (Random
access memory) on module start-up. The TTM211 module compares the working
copy and the configuration contained in the EEPROMs to detect any latent defect
(due to a simulated change of bytes). This may concern the failure of one of the two
EEPROM memory banks, taking into account that one manages the even addresses
and the other the odd ones.
« CRPP Conf RAM != PROM Even »:

The comparison of the configuration stored in the EEPROM with the working
copy of the configuration in the RAM, reveals a possible latent defect in the
configuration in the EEPROM at an even memory address.
« CRPI Conf RAM != PROM Odd »:

The comparison of the configuration stored in the EEPROM with the working
copy of the configuration in the RAM, reveals a possible latent defect in the
configuration in the EEPROM at an odd memory address.
« MAJF Problems of flash update»:

This fault indicates that it is impossible to update the flash memory (writing
problem).
Alarm on acquisition channels:

The module contains internal analogue test channels (test 5%, 80% and offset)
driving the ADC (Analogue Digital Converter). The corresponding digital outputs,
also used for calibration, have to be contained within a certain range, as defined in
the TTM211 module software in PtCAD. Outside this range, it can be considered
that the acquisition chain in question (ADC) is defective. A corresponding alarm
module is then generated.

30/121
« VT5 5% test channel fault»:
This alarm signals a fault on the 5% test channel. It denotes an analogue – digital
conversion problem for the low analogue levels (bottom of range).
Expected ADC output value: 204±60 PtCAD with hysteresis of 10 PtCAD.
« VT80 80% test channel fault»:
This alarm signals a fault on the 80% test channel. It denotes an analogue –
digital conversion problem for the high analogue levels (top of range).
Expected ADC output value: 3276±60 PtCAD with hysteresis of 10 PtCAD.
Detection of invalid memory configuration menu:

The TTM211 module has detected an error in one of the Parameter menus. The CRC
check verifies the validity of the data received by each menu and therefore this signals
the alarm in the event of an error (for instance – a problem during the writing of
EEPROM). The alarm bits, which signal this type of fault are as follows.
« Men1 Menu 1 config. Invalid »:
Configuration menu 1 (GENERAL CONFIG) is not valid.
Configuration menu 2 (CURRENT CONTROL) is not valid.
Configuration menu 3 (SCALING PARAMETERS) is not valid.

5.8 Application and System faults
The faults are divided into first stage faults and second stage faults. First stage faults
will produce an alarm and, for some of them, a changeover from the active regulator to
the standby regulator. Second stage faults cause the field breaker to trip. Although the
first stage faults do not lead to tripping of the unit, the problem should be investigated
as soon as possible in order to keep the excitation system in good operation order.
The alarms are indicated on the ControLCP in front of the excitation cubicle.
Description of possible reasons hereafter is not exhaustive but constitutes a guide for
maintenance.
With ControLCP, the description of each alarm is also available On the LCP.
Refer to “Operating and maintenance manual - Part 2” for further information.
All possible alarm and fault messages displayed by the ControLCP are listed in the
tables below. These alarms are available according to the project configuration.
Each alarm is displayed with a number, identifying completely the alarm.
From 1 to 299: Regulator’s alarm.
From 300 to 599: Detailed rectifier’s alarm.
From 600 to 699: Pulse generator’s alarm.
From 1000 to 1200 Current sharing system (TPC) alarm
At the end of the text following numbers are displayed identifying the detection of fault:
"(1)": the alarm was detected by the primary regulator.
"(2)": the alarm was detected by the secondary regulator.
