4.2 Function description

The TAPGUARD® 260 monitoring system monitors the on-load tap-changer,
the control rods, and the motor-drive unit as well as calculating all important
maintenance criteria. For this purpose, it is equipped with a multitude of
measuring devices that record all relevant information.
The monitoring system is a tool for condition-based maintenance. The moni-

toring system signals when the next maintenance is due, taking into account
the soot content of the oil and calculates the contact wear in the on-load tap-
changer (OILTAP® type).

During operation, the monitoring system monitors the torque and the load
current of the on-load tap-changer as well as the temperatures of the on-
load tap-changer oil, the transformer oil, and the motor-drive unit. This ena-
bles problems that occur to be detected early on and the appropriate action
taken.

4.3 Performance features

The monitoring system receives all relevant data from several different
measurement devices in order to prevent damage to the on-load tap-chang-
er and the transformer.
The monitoring system assumes the following functions in the process:

▪ Monitors the on-load tap-changer
– Torque
– Load current
– Temperature
– Diverter switch operation
▪ Monitors the control rod and synchronization in the case of a triple-col-
umn design
▪ Controls the heating in the motor-drive unit
▪ Calculates all important maintenance criteria
▪ Signals the next pending maintenance

▪ Takes into account the soot content (only OILTAP®)

▪ Calculates contact wear (only OILTAP®)
The monitoring system records all measured values and events. These data
can be selected and prepared using the TAPCON®-trol visualization soft-
ware.
4.4 Hardware
The individual assemblies are fitted in a standardized 19-inch plug-in hous-
ing. The front panels of the assemblies are secured to the plug-in housing at
the top and bottom. An IEC 60603-2 plug connector provides the electrical
connection.
The assemblies are connected to one another via a data bus and direct cur-
rent (DC) supply. This allows for an upgrade with additional plug-in modules
and extension cards at a later date.

You can use this parameter to enter a password for the COM1 front inter-
face. This allows you to protect the device from unauthorized access using
the front interface. If a COM1 password is assigned, first you must enter the
correct password to establish a connection using the front interface.
Note the following information:

▪ The password must be at least 1 character long and must not exceed 8
characters. If you enter an empty password (only an end marker), then
the COM1 password is deactivated.
▪ You can enter alphanumeric characters (A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9) and an
end marker.
▪ If you want to use a password with fewer than 8 characters, you must
select the end marker after the last character of your password.
▪ Once you save the password, the display changes to xxxxxxxx. The
password is only displayed in plain text during text input.

7.2 Databases
The monitoring system stores the measured values and events in databas-
es. These databases are divided into "erasable databases" and "non-erasa-
ble databases".
The following section describes these two database types.
7.2.1 Erasable databases

Older data sets in the erasable database are automatically overwritten with
new data sets as soon as the contingent of the database is fully exhausted
and the 8 MB flash is completely written.
The following data are stored:
Database An entry is made in the database

Events As soon as an event occurs, acknowledges itself
or is confirmed by you
Torque For each tap-change operation
Temperatures/ After the set time in the "Mean value interval" pa-
measured values rameter has expired
Maintenance history After confirming a maintenance in the
TAPGUARD® 260
Fan Every 10 minutes
Wear For each tap-change operation
Evaluated torques For each evaluated tap-change operation
Table 8: Erasable databases
7.2.2 Erasing non-erasable databases

In the non-erasable databases, events or cases of errors are permanently
stored and are available for a longer period of time. These data are not auto-
matically erased. As soon as one of the events (170 to 175) occurs, the da-
tabase will have achieved 90% of the contingent. An event requesting the
database to be read out and erased is triggered when this happens. You can
read out and erase these data only with the TAPCON®-trol software.

The following data are stored:

▪ Critical events
▪ Faulty tap-change operations that were caused by a voltage drop or ex-
ceeding the maximum torque
▪ When changing the contact wear in the second decimal place, this is
stored
For more information, please refer to the operating instructions for

TAPCON®-trol.
7.2.3 Displaying information on the databases

In this screen, you can display additional information on the individual data-
bases. The following information is displayed:
▪ Name of the database
▪ Date of the first data set
▪ Number of data sets
To display the information on the databases, proceed as follows:
1. > Info > Gen. information > 4x .

ð Measured value memory.
2. Press or to switch between the different databases.
7.3 Event messages

The monitoring system monitors various events during operation and issues
corresponding event messages. After an event occurs, the event message is
immediately displayed on the monitoring system.
If an event message is displayed, this can be hidden by pressing the

key. The events are recorded and can be displayed in an event overview.
Possible events are, for example, general status reports, when limit values
are exceeded or function faults. You can find a detailed list of the possible
event messages in the operating instructions provided.
The events are marked in color depending on their priority:

Green General status message.
Yellow Announcement or advance warning. Determine the cause of
the event message. You can continue to operate the on-
load tap-changer without any limitations.
Red Immediate activity by the service team is required. You can-
not continue to operate the on-load tap-changer.
Table 9: Color coding of the events

If a red event appears, the "Red alarm message" relay is triggered. This
blocks further tap-change operations in the motor-drive unit.
NOTICE Damage to the transformer and/or on-load tap-changer after a

red event.
Performing additional tap-change operations on the motor-drive unit without
analyzing the cause of the red event can lead to on-load tap-changer and/or
transformer damage.
► Check what caused the red event, decide whether to continue operat-
ing the on-load tap-changer depending on the cause.
► Contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen's Technical Service department.
7.3.1 Displaying event messages

The recorded event messages can be displayed in an overview.
To call up the event overview, proceed as follows:
► > Info > Events.

ð Event overview.
By pressing the key, you can display the events in detail. In doing so,
the red events are displayed first and then the yellow events.
7.3.2 Acknowledging event messages

The monitoring system sorts the events into confirmable events and non-
confirmable events.
As a rule, non-confirmable events are events that are based on signals on

inputs. These events acknowledge themselves as soon as the signal reas-
sumes a valid value. All other events have to be acknowledged by the oper-
ator.
If you acknowledge an event message, this is no longer displayed in the

event overview. If the cause of the event message is not remedied, the
event message reappears immediately.
Contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen before acknowledging a red event. If

the event message has been caused by a hardware defect, you first have to
remedy the defect before acknowledging the event message.

To acknowledge an event, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > Info > Events.
3. Press until the desired event message appears.
4. Press to acknowledge the event.

ð A warning notice is displayed.
5. Press and at the same time to acknowledge the event.

ð The event is acknowledged.
7.3.3 Changing event text

The event texts can be adapted to meet customer requirements. To do so,
the TAPCON®-trol visualization software is needed.
The process is described in the operating instructions of the TAPCON®-trol

visualization software that comes with TAPGUARD® 260.
7.4 Load current measurement

The following functions are implemented via the transformer load current
measurement:
▪ Overcurrent blocking
▪ Contact wear calculation and oil soot calculation
▪ Calculation of the hot spot temperature (only inside the "cooling system
control" function module)
7.4.1 Configuring load current measurement

The load current is measured either using the MI card or the AD8 card. The
type of measurement is set by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
For the load current measurement using the MI card, the load current signal
has to be present as a 1 A, 5 A or 0.2 A signal. For the load current meas-
urement using the AD8 card, the load current signal has to be present as a
standardized 4...20 mA signal.

7.4.1.1 Load current measurement with the MI card
If the load current is measured using the MI card, the primary current of the
current transformer has to be set. The set value corresponds 100 % to the
input signal.
Example:
If 1,200 A is set as the primary current, when a current of 1 A is applied to

the 1 A input, the 1,200 A load current appears on the display.
Setting the primary current
The parameter is pre-set and may only be changed after consulting with
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
To set the primary current for the current transformer, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > Configuration > Transformer data.

ð Primary current MI.

5. Press .
ð The primary current of the current transformer is set.
Displaying status of the MI card
The current load current is displayed in the info screen "MI card status" as a
percentage value of the set primary current.
To display the MI card status, proceed as follows:
► > Info > Status > Press until the desired display ap-
pears.
ð MI card status.

7.4.1.2 Load current measurement with the AD8 card
For the load current measurement using the AD8 card, the primary current
has to be present as a standardized signal (4...20 mA). The corresponding
load current has to be assigned to both the lower value (4 mA) and the up-
per value (20 mA).
Example: In the following example, the lower value is set to 0 and the upper value is
set to 2,100. If a 4 mA signal is present, a load current of 0 A is displayed on
the monitoring system. If a 20 mA signal is present, the monitoring system
displays a load current of 2,100 A.
Setting the lower value
To assign the lower value, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > Configuration > Analog inputs.

ð AD8 input 1 lower value.

5. Press .
ð The lower value is set.
Setting the upper value
To assign the upper value, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > Configuration > Analog inputs > Press until the de-
sired display appears.
ð AD8 input 1 upper value.


5. Press .
ð The upper value is set.
Displaying status of the AD8 card
The signal present at input 1 of the AD8 card is displayed in the info screen
"AD8 card status."
To display the status of the AD8 card, proceed as follows:
pears.
ð AD8 card status.
7.4.2 Displaying load current

The load current is checked for a limit value. If this load current limit is ex-
ceeded, the monitoring system issues the event message 0 Load current
limit value exceeded.
To display the load current limit value, proceed as follows:
► If necessary, press in the main screen to switch from the tap posi-
tion display to the load current display.
To call up the "measured values" info screen, proceed as follows:
► > Info > Meas. values.

7.4.3 Displaying load current limit value

The load current is checked for a limit value. If this load current limit is ex-
ceeded, the monitoring system issues the event message 0 "Load current
limit value exceeded".
To display the load current limit value, proceed as follows:
► > Configuration > Continue > Limit values.

ð Max. load current
7.5 Heating
The monitoring system is equipped with a heating control unit. This heating
control unit protects the components of the motor-drive unit from condensate
and corrosion.
For this purpose, the monitoring system uses the following measured values:
▪ θ∞: Ambient temperature
▪ θED: Internal temperature of the motor-drive unit
If the monitoring system is switched off, the heating is permanently active.
If the heating is switched on longer than 8 hours and the interior tempera-
ture of the motor-drive unit is more than 10 °C, event 151 "The heating is
inactive!" occurs.
If the door of the motor-drive unit remains open for a long period of time, the
ambient temperature and the temperature inside the motor-drive unit reach
the same level. The heating is then permanently active and after 8 hours the
event 151 "Heating is inactive!" occurs.
7.6 Measured values

The current measured values of the on-load tap-changer are located in the
"Measured value" display under the "Info" menu point. The following table
contains information on which measured values the device accepts from
which card and in which of the device's components these are used:

* The oil temperature of the tap selector is needed if the transformer oil and
the selector oil are separated from one another. The temperatures of poles B
and C are only needed if several on-load tap-changers are monitored by
TAPGUARD® 260.
If more than one on-load tap-changer is monitored, you can display the
measured value screens of the respective on-load tap-changers by pressing
the and keys.
To display the measured values, proceed as follows:
1. Menu > Info > Meas. values.

ð Measured values.
2. If necessary, press or if more than one on-load tap-changer is

▪ AD8 1 card (for load current)
▪ TEM 1 card (for temperatures)
▪ TEM 2 card (for temperatures when monitoring several on-load tap-
changers)
▪ POS 1 card
▪ MI card (for load current)
The following sections describe how you can display the respective status
windows.
7.6.1.1 Displaying input/output status
The status of the respective optocoupler inputs is shown in the "INPUT/

OUTPUT STATUS" and "INPUT/OUTPUT REL." displays. As soon as a con-
tinuous signal is present at the input, it is shown in the display with a 1. 0
indicates no signal at the input.

7.6.1.3 Querying status of the TEM card
Temperatures are measured using the TEM 1 card or TEM 2 card. These
temperature values correspond to the measured values on the measured
value screen. The TEM 2 card is needed when using several on-load tap-
changers.
The temperature can also be measured using the AD8 card (see Querying
status of AD8 card [► 65]).

To query the status of the TEM 1 card, proceed as follows:
pears.
ð TEM 1 card status TEM 2 card status.
7.6.1.4 Querying status of AD8 card
Using the AD8 card, the load current of the on-load tap-changer can be
measured. In the status display, the adjacent 4 mA...20 mA signal is dis-
played. For more details on load current measurement via the AD8 card, re-
fer to section "Load current measurement via AD8 card [► 59]".
The load current is measured either using the MI card or the AD8 card. The
type of measurement is set by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
Measuring temperatures via the AD8 card
If temperatures are to be measured using the AD8 card (4-20 mA) instead of
the TEM card (PWM or Pt100), you can use the status screen of the AD8
card to check how many mA are available on a certain input.
In the Analog inputs menu, you can assign which values are to correspond
to 4 mA and which to 20 mA. You can find an example for converting an
AD8 value into the corresponding measured values in the chapter mentioned
previously.
7.6.1.5 Querying status of the POS card
In the "POS 1 card status" screen, you can find information on the current
tap position that is determined via the resolver data [► 77]. You can find
more information on this in the Commissioning [► 44] chapter.
To query the status of the POS 1 card, proceed as follows:
pears.
ð POS 1 card status.
7.6.1.6 Querying status of the MI card
The current load current is displayed in the info screen "MI card status" as a
percentage value of the set primary current. You can find out how to query
the status of the MI card in the section on Load current measurement
[► 57].

7.6.2 Temperature monitoring and load current monitoring

The temperatures and the load current are checked against the set upper
and lower limit values. As soon as these limit values are exceeded, events
occur. These events acknowledge themselves if the set upper or lower limit
values are exceeded. The following hysteresis values are used in this case:
Temperatures 3 Kelvin
Load current 5A
Table 11: Hysteresis (temperatures and load current)
7.6.2.1 Calling up limit value for load current
To call up the limit value of the maximum load current, proceed as follows:
► > Configuration > Continue > Limit values.

ð Maximum load current.
7.6.2.2 Calling up limit values for the diverter switch oil temperature
For each temperature, there is an upper and lower maximum limit each with
an associated advance warning limit. These are also marked in "yellow" in
the parameter screens. Exceeding these advance warning limits results in a
yellow event. If the upper and lower maximum limits are not reached or are
exceeded, this leads to a red event provided these parameters are not con-
figured otherwise (customer-specific).
To call up the limit values for the diverter switch oil temperature, proceed as
follows:
► > Configuration > Continue > Limit values > 6x .

ð Diverter switch oil temperature upper limit.
► > Configuration > Continue > Limit values > 8x .

ð Diverter switch oil temperature upper limit yellow.
7.6.2.3 Calling up additional limit values
You can also call up additional limit values as described above. To request

Table 12: Parameter screens (temperature limit values)
7.6.2.4 Calling up temperature differences
The difference between the transformer/tap selector oil temperature and the
diverter switch oil temperature is also checked by the device. If the trans-
former/tap selector oil temperature is higher than the diverter switch oil tem-
perature and if, at the same time, the difference between the two tempera-
tures is greater than the set maximum value, then a yellow event occurs. A
yellow event also occurs as soon as the relevant advance warning limit is
reached.
To call up the limit values, note the procedure described above.
7.6.3 Measured value memory

The measured values are stored in a measured value database in cycles.
You can determine the interval at which the data is stored via the "Average
value interval" parameter. In the set time period, the temperature values and

load current values are determined and stored at the end of a tap-change
operation. For the load current of the on-load tap-changer and the diverter
switch oil temperature, the peak values in the time period are also stored.
You can analyze the stored values using the TAPCON®-trol software. For
more information, please refer to the operating instructions for TAPCON®-
trol.
To set the average value interval, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > General > Press until the desired display appears.

ð Average value interval.
3. Press to increase the time or to reduce it.
4. Press .
ð The average value interval is set.
7.6.4 Issuing measured values via measuring transducer (optional)

Using the AN card, the measured values can be issued as an analog signal
with the help of the measuring transducer module. As an output signal, the
range of 4...20 mA is set as standard.
Using the AN card, you can issue signals in the range of -20...+20 mA. If
you want to use a different signal range, please contact Maschinenfabrik
Reinhausen.
The following measured values can be issued via the AN card:

▪ Load current
▪ Tap position
▪ ED interior temperature
▪ ED ambient temperature
▪ Transformer oil temperature
▪ Diverter switch oil temperature pole A
▪ Diverter switch oil temperature pole B
▪ Diverter switch oil temperature pole C
▪ Tap selector oil temperature pole A
▪ Tap selector oil temperature pole B
▪ Tap selector oil temperature pole C

7.6.4.1 Setting measured value for the 1/2 output
You can define the measured value to be issued using the "Output 1/2
measured value" parameter. The selection options for this parameter are list-
ed in the previous section "Issuing measured values via measuring transduc-
er (optional) [► 68]".
To check or set the measured value for the output 1/2, proceed as follows:
1. Press .

follows:
1. Press .

ð Output 1 lower/Output 2 upper.
ð Output 1 upper/Output 2 lower.
4. Press .
7.6.4.3 Setting absolute measured values for output 1/2 upper/lower
As soon as you have set the "Output 1 lower"/"Output 2 lower" parameters,

you can set the matching "Output 1 value lower"/"Output 2 value lower" pa-
rameters. This also applies to the upper values. The following table illus-
trates the setting options:
1st setting 2nd setting possible as soon as

the 1st setting is complete
Output 1 lower Output 1 lower value
Output 1 upper Output 1 upper value
Output 2 lower Output 2 lower value
Output 2 upper Output 2 upper value
Table 13: Sequence of settings for outputs 1 and 2
When assigning the absolute values, you can also define the number of dec-
imal places by pressing the key. You can set a maximum of 2 decimal
places.
Decimal places are used, for example, to issue temperature measured val-
ues because the temperature measured values are measured and process-
ed with one decimal place.
Resetting decimal place
If you have set 2 decimal places but you want to reset them, you can remove
the decimal place by pressing the key again. The value is displayed
again without a decimal place.

7.7 Torque monitoring

The monitoring system monitors the torque on the on-load tap-changer head
during a tap-change operation. The torque on the on-load tap-changer head
is calculated using key motor data, the active power of the motor, and the
transmission ratio.
For the torque, different limit values are defined across the entire tap-change
sequence and, if exceeded, the monitoring system triggers the correspond-
ing actions.
The following section describes the torque monitoring system function as

well as how torque is displayed in the monitoring system. For more informa-
tion on how the torque is displayed in the TAPCON®-trol visualization soft-
ware, please observe the associated operating instructions.
7.7.1 Tap-change ranges (windows) M1...M8

The torque curve is divided into as many as 8 ranges, or windows, depend-
ing on the on-load tap-changer and tap-change type. These ranges describe
the individual tap changes that the on-load tap-changer passes through dur-
ing a tap-change process.

The tap-change ranges are shown as follows:
Figure 48: Tap-change display (torque)
7.7.2 Types of tap-change operations

The monitoring system distinguishes between the following types of tap-
change operations:
▪ Change-over selector tap-change operation (Mcos): The change-over
selector also changes in this tap-change operation.
▪ Small tap change (Msss): Tap selector operation in which the distance
between the two taps used for this tap-change operation is small.
▪ Large tap change (Mlss): Tap selector operation in which the distance
between the two taps used for this tap-change operation is large.
▪ Reverse tap-change operation (Mrs): Tap-change operation in which the
tap changes in the opposite direction to the most recent tap-change op-
eration.
7.7.3 Limit values

The monitoring system monitors the tap-change sequence for the following
limits:
▪ Limit value for yellow event
▪ Limit value for red event
▪ Maximum permissible motor torque (Md,max)

Limit values for yellow event or red event
For each tap-change range (windows M1...M8), limit values for yellow and
red events are defined. These limit values depend on the tap changer, type
of tap-change operation, and the on-load tap-changer and transformer oil
temperatures currently measured.
Once the tap-change operation is complete, the monitoring system checks

the torque curve for the defined limit values. If the limit value is exceeded,
the monitoring system generates a corresponding yellow or red event. In the
case of a red event, a further tap-change operation is blocked.
Maximum permissible motor torque (Md,max)
During the tap-change operation, the maximum permissible motor torque is

monitored. If the limit value for the maximum permissible motor torque is ex-
ceeded, the monitoring system triggers the motor protective switch Q1. Addi-
tionally, the monitoring system triggers the event 104 "Max. motor torque ex-
ceeded, motor protective switch triggered".
As soon as the motor protective switch is triggered, the monitoring system

receives a signal to this effect from the motor-drive unit. The monitoring sys-
tem then triggers the event 85 Open motor protective switch!.
The motor protective switch Q1 cannot be re-engaged until the event 104
"Max. motor torque exceeded, motor protective switch triggered" is acknowl-
edged.
If the on-load tap-changer is not equipped with tap-change supervisory con-

trol, a separate maximum permissible motor torque (Md,max) is used, depend-
ing on the type of tap-change operation.
7.7.3.1 Displaying limit values for yellow event
To display limit values for yellow event, proceed as follows:
► > Configuration > Continue > > Press until the

desired display appears.

1. Call up the desired menu in accordance with the above table.
2. Press until the desired display appears.
7.7.4 Tap-change supervisory control

The tap-change supervisory control monitors both the drive shaft between
on-load tap-changer(s) and motor-drive unit and the correct switching of the
diverter switch.
If the on-load tap-changer is equipped with tap-change supervisory control,

then the monitoring system uses the status of the monitoring contacts 1 and
2 for the following evaluations:
▪ If both monitoring contacts report "OFF" (there is no signal) and no tap-
change operation is being performed at that time, then the monitoring
system issues the event 88 Error at tap-change supervisory control.
Both contacts OFF!.
▪ If both monitoring contacts report "ON" (signal is available) and no tap-
change operation is being performed at that time, then the monitoring
system issues the event 87 Error at the tap-change supervisory control.
Both contacts ON!.
▪ If a tap-change operation is performed and no change in the signals on
the monitoring contacts occurs (e.g. from 1 to 2), then the monitoring
system issues the event 178 Tap change without diverter switch opera-
tion!

▪ If the on-load tap-changer is in an even-numbered tap position and the

monitoring system displays an odd-numbered tap position, then the
monitoring system issues the event 337 Tap-change supervisory control
incorrectly connected!.
▪ If the signal of a monitoring contact changes from "ON" to "OFF" during
a tap-change operation, then this position is marked in the torque curve
with a vertical line. This indicates that a diverter switch action has occur-
red.
7.7.5 Evaluated and unevaluated tap changes

The monitoring system distinguishes between evaluated and unevaluated
tap changes. A tap change is considered to be evaluated if a diverter switch
action is detected and it was possible for the torque limits to be checked.
Both in the case of evaluated as well as unevaluated tap changes, the entire
torque curve is stored in the "Torques" database.
Evaluated tap changes are also stored in the "Evaluated torques" database.
Here, it is not the entire torque curve which is stored, but rather only the
maximum torque value of each tap-change range (window). Due to lower
memory requirements, a larger number of tap-change operations can be
stored in this database.
In the following cases, a tap-change operation is not evaluated:

▪ A frequency other than the one suitable for the motor is being used. In
this case, the monitoring system issues the event 319 Incorrect network
frequency!.
▪ No diverter switch action was detected. For on-load tap-changers with
tap-change supervisory control, a change in the tap-change supervisory
control contacts did not take place and the event 178 Tap change with-
out diverter switch operation! is issued. For tap-changers without tap-
change supervisory control, the diverter switch action is determined us-
ing the torque curve. If the diverter switch action could not be correctly
determined, then the tap-change operation cannot be assessed.
▪ If the on-load tap-changer has not changed taps for a long period of
time at ambient temperatures under -15 °C. Due to the cold, high tor-
ques occur at the beginning of the tap-change operation that make it im-
possible to perform a reliable evaluation of the tap-change operation.
▪ If the motor voltage amounts to less than 85% of the rated motor volt-
age. In this case, it is not possible to reliably determine the torques.
The torque is also checked for the maximum permitted motor torque (Md,max)
in cases where no diverter switch action was detected.

7.7.6 Torque curves

The torque curves recorded can be displayed in the monitoring system. Ad-
ditionally, the torque curve can be called up using the TAPCON®-trol visuali-
zation software. For more information, consult the relevant user guide. The
torque curve diagram contains the following information:

7.8 Tap position capture

The current tap position of the on-load- tap-changer is transferred from the
motor-drive unit to the device. In accordance with your order, the tap position
is transferred in one of the following ways:
▪ Analog signal by means of the tap position transmitter (resolver)
▪ Digital signal via BCD
7.8.1 Analog tap position capture

In the standard design, tap position capture occurs as an analog signal.
Here the tap position is recorded using a position transmitter (resolver) and
transferred to the monitoring system.
The resolver divides a complete rotation (360°) into 4096 increments (INC).
For each on-load tap-change operation, the resolver rotates by 10°. This
means that a maximum of 36 tap positions can be reproduced with a resolv-
er.
If the on-load tap-changer has more than 36 tap positions, then tap position
capture must occur via BCD.
The resolver signal is recorded by means of the POS1 card from the moni-
toring system. The current status of the POS1 card can be displayed on the
monitoring system (seeQuerying status of the POS card [► 65]).
7.8.2 Digital tap position capture with BCD signal (optional)

There is an option of transferring the tap position as a digital signal from the
motor-drive unit to the monitoring system. To do so, the tap position is con-
verted into a BCD signal. The following components in the motor-drive unit
are needed for this purpose:
▪ A tap position reporting device tap position 1...n
▪ A diode matrix installed downstream as code converter (tap position
1...n to BCD)
▪ The corresponding data lines between the motor-drive unit and the mon-
itoring system
7.9 Maintenance
The monitoring system monitors various maintenance work. If a defined
number of tap-change operations or a certain operating state is achieved,
the monitoring system creates corresponding event messages.
If operating states are reached which directly endanger further operation of

the on-load tap-changer, the monitoring system blocks the motor-drive unit.

The monitoring system administers the following maintenances:

▪ OLTC maintenance
▪ DSI replacement
▪ Tap selector maintenance
▪ OLTC replacement
▪ Oil change and cleaning
▪ Oil filter change (only when operating an oil filter unit)
▪ Contact wear (only with OILTAP® on-load tap-changer types)
▪ Oil sample
▪ Operator time interval and tap change operation interval
7.9.1 Displaying the operations counters

Most maintenance work is determined on the basis of the number of tap-
change operations. The current number of tap-change operations can be
displayed in the monitoring system. In this regard, a distinction is made be-
tween the absolute number of tap-change operations and the number of tap-
change operations in the current diverter switch insert.
To display the operations counter, proceed as follows:
► > Info > Meas. values > Press until the desired pa-
rameter is displayed.
ð Operations counter.
7.9.2 Displaying the maintenance status

You will find an overview of the current maintenance status in this screen.
The different maintenance activities are combined into 5 groups and stored
in a progress bar. The progress bar shows the progress in percent of the
maintenance interval. The progress bar always refers to the most advanced
maintenance.
Depending on the type of on-load tap-changer, the following maintenance

criteria are displayed:
OILTAP® VACUTAP®
OLTC maintenance OLTC maintenance
Oil change + cleaning Oil change + cleaning
Contact wear -
Oil sample Oil sample
Operator interval Operator interval
Table 16: Maintenance criteria

To request additional information on the maintenance criteria, proceed as

follows:
1. Press and hold down the desired function key ( … ).

ð The information screen is displayed.
2. If necessary, in addition to the already pressed function key, press

to display further maintenance activities.
3. The forecast data indicate when the next maintenance is due. These da-
ta are determined depending on condition.
For a correct forecast, at least 200 tap-change operations are required. If

this number of tap-change operations is not achieved, the standard values
are displayed.
7.9.3 Maintenance events

The monitoring system informs you of an impending maintenance in 2 steps.
The following event messages are generated in turn for this purpose:
▪ Announcement of impending maintenance (e.g. at 90 % of the respec-
tive limit value)
▪ Impending maintenance (at 100 % of the respective limit value)
If maintenance is categorized as a "yellow" priority, there is no maintenance

announcement.
When a maintenance event arises, the monitoring system changes to the

maintenance status display. The impending maintenance is signaled by a
flashing progress bar.
7.9.3.1 Setting the maintenance announcement
You can use this parameter to set the limit for a maintenance message. If
this limit value is achieved, the corresponding progress bar flashes in the
maintenance status display.
You can determine these parameters for the following maintenance work
separately:

2. > Configuration > 1x Continue > Maintenance

ð Abrasion parts message.

5. Press .
ð The maintenance announcement is set.
7.9.3.2 Confirming maintenance event
Maintenance events can be acknowledged just like normal event messages.

You can find the description of the procedure in the Acknowledging event
messages [► 56] section.
In order to reset a maintenance event permanently, maintenance has to be

performed and confirmed. Otherwise, the event reoccurs after a certain
number of tap-change operations. The number of tap changes can be de-
fined using the "Max. tap changes after ack." parameter.
7.9.3.3 Setting maximum number of tap-change operations for resetting the

confirmation
If a maintenance event is acknowledged, this event reoccurs for as long as

maintenance is not confirmed. This parameter specifies how many tap-
change operations should occur before a maintenance event occurs again.
Example: If the parameter is set to 100, then an acknowledged maintenance

event occurs again after 100 tap-change operations as long as maintenance
is not yet confirmed.
If the value is set to 0, then an acknowledged maintenance event reoccurs

after 1 tap-change operation.
If it is a time-based maintenance event, this setting is irrelevant. In this

case, an acknowledged event reoccurs after 1 tap-change operation.

To set the number of tap-change operations, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > Configuration > 5x Continue > Operator > Press

until the desired parameter is displayed.
ð Max. tap changes after acknowledgement
4. Press .
ð The number of tap-change operations is set.
After 5,000 tap-change operations, an acknowledged but not confirmed

maintenance event occurs immediately after 1 tap-change operation.
7.9.4 Confirming maintenance

If maintenance was performed, this must be confirmed in the monitoring sys-
tem. Only confirmed maintenance work does not result in new maintenance
events. As soon as maintenance work is confirmed, a corresponding note is
written in the maintenance history database.
The wear values of the on-load tap-changer contacts measured during

OLTC maintenance work on the abrasion parts must be entered in the cor-
responding menu prior to confirming maintenance.

To confirm maintenance, proceed as follows:

7.9.5 Diverter switch inserts

The monitoring system manages the installed diverter switch inserts (DSI).
For each monitored on-load tap-changer, 1 diverter switch insert is man-
aged. If 3 on-load tap-changers are monitored, the 3 associated diverter
switch inserts form a set.
The following data are managed for each set:

▪ User-defined text
▪ Operations counter
▪ Contact wear for the main switching contacts and transition contacts
– Main switching contact A (SKA)
– Main switching contact B (SKB)
– Transition contact A / 1A (WKA / WK1A)
– Transition contact B / 1b /WKB / WK1B)
– Transition contact 2A (WK2A)
– Transition contact 2B (WK2B)

The managed data can be viewed in the "DSI" menu.
7.9.5.1 Changing text of the DSI set
The name of the diverter switch insert set can be adapted using the
TAPCON®-trol visualization software. The adapted text is displayed in the
DSI menu instead of the names DSI1... DSI 3.
You can find more information in the operating instructions for the
TAPCON®-trol software.
7.9.5.2 Maintenance of the diverter switch insert
The monitoring system distinguishes between two types of maintenance for

the diverter switch insert:
▪ Diverter switch insert replacement
▪ Diverter switch insert exchange
Diverter switch insert replacement
The current diverter switch insert is scrapped and is replaced by a new

diverter switch insert. If this maintenance is confirmed in the monitoring sys-
tem, all contact wear and the operations counter in the diverter switch insert
set are set to 0.
To confirm maintenance, proceed as described in the Confirming mainte-

nance section.
Diverter switch insert exchange
The current diverter switch insert is removed for maintenance and replaced
by a different diverter switch insert. If the diverter switch insert is exchanged,
this has to be entered in the "DSI" menu. This confirms maintenance and in
the event of further tap-change operations, the contact wear of the diverter
switch insert currently being used is calculated.
To enter the diverter switch insert currently being used, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > DSI > DSI exchange.

ð DSI number.
3. Press or to select the desired diverter switch insert.
4. Press .
ð The diverter switch insert was exchanged.

7.9.6 Contact wear

When monitoring the OILTAP® type on-load tap-changers, the monitoring
system calculates the following values after each operation:
▪ Main switching contact wear
▪ Transition contact wear
▪ Oil soot
If the "Trial tap-change operation" parameter is activated, no wear and no

soot is calculated. This parameter is used to prevent falsification of the wear
values and soot values during commissioning or transformer tests.
The monitoring system checks the calculated values with regard to the fol-
lowing limit values:
▪ Absolute value of the wear
▪ Difference in wear between main switching contact and transition con-
tact
▪ Difference in wear between two transition contacts
If these limit values are exceeded, event 81 "It is necessary to replace or ex-
change the contacts" or event 82 "Schedule exchange or replacement of
contacts" appears, depending on the limit value.
After maintenance work on the on-load tap-changer, the computed wear of

the main switch contacts and the transition contacts have to be entered into
the monitoring system. The monitoring system adapts its calculation model
automatically using the computed wear. This makes future calculations of
the wear even more precise.

7.9.6.1 Determining contact wear
The thickness of the wear to be entered is the sum of the wear of the mova-
ble and the fixed contact part.
Figure 53: Determining contact wear
1 Fixed contact y1 Thickness of the worn contact

coating (fixed contact)
2 Movable contact x2 Thickness of the contact coat-
ing when new (movable con-
tact)
x1 Thickness of the contact coat- y2 Thickness of the worn contact
ing when new (fixed contact) coating (movable contact)
The wear thickness z to be entered is determined as follows:

z = x1 - y1 + x2 - y2
If more than one on-load tap-changer is monitored by the monitoring sys-

tem, the thickest layer of wear has to be entered.
7.9.6.2 Setting contact wear
You have to enter the previously determined contact wear for each main
switching contact and transition contact.
▪ Main switching contact A (SKA)
▪ Main switching contact B (SKB)
▪ Transition contact A (WKA or WK1A)
▪ Transition contact B (WKB or WK1B)
▪ Transition contact 2A (WK2A)*
▪ Transition contact 2B (WK2B)*

*) The transition contacts WK2A and WK2B are not available with every on-
load tap-changer. If these contacts are not available with your on-load tap-
changer, you have to set the value 0.00 mm.
The monitoring system ignores contact wear entries that deviate greatly
from the calculated value (zentry > 10 ∙ zcalculated) in order to avoid entry errors.
Nevertheless, if you would like to enter a value that deviates greatly, you
have to set the contact wear to 0.00 mm beforehand.
To enter the computed wear thickness, proceed as follows:
1. Press .
2. > DSI > / / DSI 1 /2 /3 > Press until the de-

sired parameter is displayed.

8 Intervention in the TAPMOTION® ED motor-drive unit
8 Intervention in the TAPMOTION® ED motor-drive

unit
The following section describes how the monitoring system intervenes in the
TAPMOTION® ED motor-drive unit.
8.1 Torque recording and output measurement for 3-phase

alternating current
To determine the torque and output of an alternating current motor-drive
unit, the current and voltage of the motor-drive unit are measured in 3-
phase.
The measurement is performed from the motor circuit supply. For this pur-
pose, the wire connections in the motor circuit are routed from the Q1:2/4/6
motor protective switch via the MI3-G card to the K1:1/3/5 motor contactor.
The L1...L3 phases are connected to the MI3-G:1 to 12 card terminals via
the X7:1...9 terminal strip.
From the motor current and the motor voltage in each period, the CPU deter-
mines the current output and torque in real time.

The following connection diagrams show the functionality.
Figure 80: Torque recording and output measurement for 3-phase alternating current

8.2 Torque recording and output measurement for direct

current
To determine the torque and output of a direct current motor-drive unit, the
current and voltage in the motor-drive unit are measured in 1-phase.
The measurement is performed from the motor circuit supply (L+). To record
the current, the wire connection in the motor circuit is routed from the X20:3
auxiliary terminal to K1:4 through the measurement opening of the U11 (DC
measuring transducer). The voltage measurement needed at the same time
is taken via the U10 voltage transformer (on the +HT and –HT terminals).
The CPU determines the current output and torque in real time based on the
measured values obtained via the AD card.
The following connection diagrams show the functionality.

Figure 81: Torque recording and output measurement for direct current

8.3 Red event with and without triggering of Q1 motor

protective switch
Red event without triggering of Q1 motor protective switch
If a red event [► 55] occurs, the auxiliary relay K53 is loaded with voltage
via the IO-X1:08/10 output on the IO card.
This relay provides a potential-free signalling contact, K53:13/14. The

K53:43/44 contact activates the K20 stepping contactor. As long as K20 re-
mains triggered, a further tap-change operation in the drive unit is blocked.
If the event is acknowledged or if the measured variable is once again within

the permitted limits, the drive can continue to be operated again. The Q1 is
not triggered in this case.
Red event with triggering of Q1 motor protective switch
If the motor-drive unit torque exceeds the maximum permissible Motor tor-
que [► 72], the "Motor protective switch OFF" output is activated. This out-
put (IO-X1:23/24) directly impacts on the Q1 motor protective switch and trig-
gers it via the trip coil. This shuts down the drive and prevents further opera-
tion.
For a change-over selector connection, the following applies for all tap
changers (except OILTAP® V and VACUTAP® VV): If a torque violation is
detected within the windows M3 to M5, the motor protective switch Q1 is on-
ly triggered after window M5.
Further operation is not possible until the alarm criterion is no longer present
and the red event is acknowledged on the monitoring system.
We recommend contacting Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen before an event

message is acknowledged.
If a hardware defect caused the event message, this defect should be rem-
edied first, before the event message is acknowledged.

Figure 82: Red event without triggering of Q1 motor protective switch

Figure 83: Red event with triggering of Q1 motor protective switch

8.4 Emergency operation with red event (bridge X100)

If a red event is present, a further tap-change operation is blocked. Despite a
pending red event, should further operation be absolutely necessary, emer-
gency operation can be activated by inserting the X100 bridge.
If the X100 bridge is inserted, blocking of the drive by the monitoring system
is switched to inactive. All operating values continue to be recorded and stor-
ed by the monitoring system.
NOTICE Damage to the transformer and/or on-load tap-changer after a

red event.
If a red event is present in the monitoring system, then the cause of the red
event has to be analyzed before activating emergency operation. Perform-
ing additional tap-change operations on the motor-drive unit without analyz-
ing the cause of the red event may lead to on-load tap-changer and/or
transformer damage.
► Check what caused the red event and decide whether to continue oper-
ating the on-load tap-changer depending on the cause.
► Contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
The K100 relay is activated by the bridge on the X100:1/2 terminals. Using
the K100:43/44 N/O contact, the H100 signal light that displays the "Emer-
gency operation" function is activated. While the K100: 31/32 break contact
interrupts control of the K20 (blocks a new tap-change operation), the
K100:21/22 break contact severs the electrical connection between TG260,
IO-X1:23/24, and the Q1:C1 trip coil and prohibits motor protection from be-
ing triggered, which would result in the drive being shut down by the monitor-
ing system.

For the inherent safety of the ED motor-drive unit, the tap-change functions
are not affected by this.
