3 Using the converter

The ABB REL670 XRIO converter can be used as a stand-alone converter or in association with a relay specific test template, for example with the OMICRON Distance template for the REL670 relays. In any way the converter is used, follow the quick start instructions and create your test by using LinkToXRIO or start using the relay specific test template (for more information, see the test template documentation). See section 9.1 for more information about using the XRIO converter with the OMICRON Distance test module.

4 Software requirements
To use this converter, you must have a valid license for the OMICRON Test Universe 2.30 software.

5 Functional range
The ABB REL670 XRIO converter implements the following functions: 21 Impedance Protection(quadrilateral) (PDIS,21), (PDIR), (RDIR) Backup Overcurrent Protection(PIOC,50), (PIOC,50N), (PTOC,51/67), (PTOC,51N/67N) Switch onto fault (SOTF) Some of the functions listed above use the RIO interface of the Test Universe software. Consequently, the test modules are configured automatically without using LinkToXRIO. The following functions are using the RIO interface: 21 Impedance Protection(quadrilateral) 50 Backup overcurrent Protection For testing the other functions, you must use LinkToXRIO.

6 Not supported functions

The following functions are currently not supported: Power swing detection (RPSB,78) Breaker failure (RBRF,50BF) Broken conductor check (PTOC,46) Pole discordance (RPLD,52PD) Thermal overload protection (PTTR,26) Loss of voltage (PTUV,27) Overvoltage 2 step (PTOV,59), Undervoltage 2 step (PTUV,27) Z scheme communication (PSCH,85) Z current reversal WEI (PSCH,85) EF current reversal WEI (PSCH,85) EF scheme communication (PSCH,85) Fuse failure (RFUF) Autorecloser (RREC,79) Synchronizing (RSYN,25)

7 OMICRON test philosophy

The OMICRON test strategy is described in the OMICRON Protection Test Template (PTT) Distance documentation. For detailed information, see the PTT Distance documentation.

8 Relay settings import

Relay settings can be imported in .xrio format (PCM600 2.2 or higher Parameter Setting tool export).

9 Converter structure
The converter is divided into two sections: the REL670 section and the RIO section. Both sections consist of several function blocks. The converter comes up in the standard view; the RIOplus section and the template controller section can only be seen in the advanced view.

9.1 REL670 section

The REL670 section is divided into four groups: the Relay Parameter Section, the Additional Information section, the RIOplus section and the Template Controller section.

9.1.1 Relay Parameter Section

In this block, setting parameters are included. The parameters are grouped and named as in the ABB xrio export of the PCM600 software. Each parameter in this block can be identified by its ID, which is identical to the parameter ID in the export file software.

Figure 6: Setting the parameters in the Relay Parameter Section

9.1.2 Additional Information

The Additional Information contains information witch can't be found directly in the Parameter Setting tool of the PCM600 software.

Figure 7: Additional Information

OMICRON electronics GmbH

OMICRON PTL

This block is divided into following subsections: 9.1.2.1 General Information General information block contains information important for the test report like Device model or serial number. 9.1.2.2 Relay information (advanced view) This block has been added for relay specific parameters such as tolerances which cannot be set by the user, because they are constant values. All values set in this block can be found in the chapter "Technical Data" of the relay's documentation. Typically, these blocks do not have to be changed, as they are already set to the values given in the user manual of the relay. 9.1.2.3 Hardware Configuration The Hardware Configuration contains information on usage of analog modules which can be set in the Signal Matrix, Hardware Configuration and ACT (CAP531) tools of the PCM600 software. The information which has to set is witch of the analog modules and its channels was used as input for distance and overcurrent protection 9.1.2.4 Relay Configuration (ACT/CAP531) This block contains configuration details which can be found in the ACT/CAP531 tool of the PCM600 like standard conditions used for distance protection zones or usage of multipliers for overcurrent protection. 9.1.2.5 Circuit Breaker Information This subsection stores data important for the CB configuration RIO block section and CB trip time tests.

9.1.3 Template Controller (advanced view)

The Template Controller block contains special values which are needed for some tests, especially for tests using LinkToXRIO. These are mainly calculated values which cannot be calculated by using LinkToXRIO and therefore have to be stored in this section. Other values needed for customer designed tests can be stored in this block.

9.1.4 RIOplus (advanced view)

The RIOplus block contains the interface, which provides the link between the XRIO converter and all test modules which have no access to RIO functions. All tests using basic test modules like Ramping or State Sequencer have to be linked to the parameters in the RIOplus section of the converter.

9.1.5 RIO
The RIO section of the converter contains all specialized RIO functions which are needed to use the more specialized test modules (like Advanced Distance or Overcurrent) provided by the OMICRON Test Universe software. Warning: Do not change any values in this section. The values have been set using the relay settings of the Relay Parameter Section. Note: Do not activate the former test object view in the advanced mode of the XRIO test object. Changing parameters in this view will disable formulas in the RIO section. 9.1.5.1 Device This Block contains general data, to describe the Test Object, e.g. Name, Manufacturer, Bay, Substation. Also this block contains the nominal values of current and voltage transformer and the maximum values for the CMC currents and voltages
