3 Product description
Product description
The voltage regulator serves to keep constant the output voltage of a transformer with an on-load tap-changer. To do this, the voltage regulator compares the transformer's measured output voltage (Vactual) with a defined reference voltage (Vreference). The difference between Vactual and Vdesired is the control deviation (dV). If the control deviation is greater than the specified bandwidth (B%), the voltage regulator emits a switching pulse after a defined delay time T1. The switching pulse triggers an on-load tap-changer tap change which corrects the transformer's output voltage. The voltage regulator parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage behavior to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of on-load tap-changer operations. The following diagram (on page 20) shows an overview of voltage regulation.

Operating concept
The voltage regulator's operating panel is split into an operation control level and a level for parameterization and configuration. The keys for operating the device are completely separate from those used for parameterization. At the operation control level, key activation is signaled visually by means of LEDs. The LEDs integrated in the RAISE/LOWER keys are illuminated during the entire tap change operation of the on-load tap-changer if "motor running" is signaled at the status input. This signal must have previously been parameterized. This visual monitoring option simplifies operation of the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is equipped with a key lock to protect against unintentional operation. To activate or deactivate, press the ESC and F5 keys simultaneously.

4.1.1
Packaging
Purpose
The packaging is designed to protect the packaged goods both during transport and for loading and unloading as well as during periods of storage in such a way that no (detrimental) changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against permitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain, snow, condensation). The packaging also prevents undesired position changes of the packaged goods within the packaging during storage. The packaged goods must be prepared for shipment before actually being packed so that the goods can be transported safely, economically and in accordance with regulations.
4.1.2
Suitability, structure and production

The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. This ensures that the shipment remains in the intended transport position and that none of its components touches the load surface during transport or the floor after it is unloaded. 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.

Markings
The packaging bears a signature with symbols with instructions for safe transport and correct storage. The following symbols apply to the dispatch (of non-hazardous goods). Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.

4.2
Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments

In addition to oscillation 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 falls from a particular height (e.g. when slings tear) or experiences an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the weight. Before acceptance, all deliveries must be checked by the recipient (acknowledgement of receipt) for the following: Completeness based on the delivery slip External damage of any type.
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate can be accessed from all sides. If external transport damage is detected on receipt of the shipment, proceed as follows: Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping documents and have this countersigned by the carrier. In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immediately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen and the relevant insurance company.
44
TAPCON 260
1801003/05 EN
After identifying the damage do not modify the condition of the shipment further and also 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 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 moisture inside the packaging (rain, snow, condensation). Name the damaged parts.
When damages are hidden, i.e. damages which are not determined until unpacking after the receipt of the shipment, 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, in this regard, 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 insurance terms and conditions.
4.3
Storage of shipments
Selection and arrangement of the storage location should meet the following requirements: Stored goods are protected 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 box on timber beams and planks as a protection against rising damp and for better ventilation. Carrying capacity of the ground under the goods is sufficient. Entrance and exit paths are kept free.
Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action after storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.

Unpacking
The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. This ensures that the shipment remains in the intended transport position and that none of its components touches the load surface during transport or the floor after it is unloaded. Inlays inside the box stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible changes of position, and protect them from vibration. Unpack the voltage regulator as follows: 1. Remove the lid from the lower part of the cardboard box. The upper inlay contains the accessories supplied, the separate box labeled "Documentation" contains the device documents. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Check scope of supply for accessories. Take the box labeled "Documentation" out of the cardboard box. Remove the upper inlay from the packaging.

5.2
Mounting
After unpacking, the voltage regulator can be mounted. The voltage regulator's standardized plug-in housing is intended for fitting in a 19-inch control cabinet. We would recommend a design with a pivoting frame to allow easy access to the connections on the rear of the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator can be mounted in 4 different ways: Flush panel mounting 19" housing Flush panel mounting for half 19" housing Wall mounting for half 19" housing Wall mounting with terminal strip for half 19" housing

Do not route lines which cause interference (e.g. power lines) and lines susceptible to interference (e.g. signal lines) in the same cable duct. Maintain a gap of at least 10 cm between lines causing interference and those susceptible to interference. Reserve lines must be grounded at both ends. The voltage regulator must never be connected using four-pin collective cables.

Information about shielding the CAN bus To ensure that the CAN bus operates correctly, the shielding must be connected as detailed for the following variants. Both voltage regulators share the same potential To ensure potential equalization between the voltage regulators, all voltage regulators must be connected to the same potential equalization rail. If the voltage regulators share the same potential, the CAN bus cable's shielding must be connected to both voltage regulators. Both voltage regulators have different potentials If the voltage regulators have different potentials, the CAN bus cable's shielding may only be connected to one voltage regulator. Note that the effectiveness of the shielding is less than if connected to both voltage regulators. NOTE Damage to the voltage regulator If the CAN bus cable's shielding is connected to 2 voltage regulators with different potentials, current may flow over the shielding. This current may damage the communication cards. Ensure that the CAN bus cable's shielding is only connected to one voltage regulator if both voltage regulators have different potentials. If neither connection variant is possible, we would recommend using fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables decouple the voltage regulators and are not sensitive to electromagnetic interferences (surge and burst).

Installation of the voltage regulator is now complete and it is commissioned for simplex mode. During operation, note the operating instructions provided. If the voltage regulator is to be used for parallel operation, then continue to the next section.

Function tests for parallel operation

To obtain perfect functioning in parallel operation, the voltage regulator must be commissioned in simplex mode. Make sure that the conditions below have been fulfilled.
All voltage regulators are set to the same operating parameters for voltage value, sensitivity and delay time T1. Set the circulating reactive current sensitivity to 0 % and the circulating reactive current blocking to 20 % (see operating instructions) for all voltage regulators. All settings should be undertaken in manual mode. Give each voltage regulator an individual address on the CAN bus (see operating instructions). 6.2.3.1 Function tests in accordance with the circulating reactive current method The following sections describe how to carry out function tests for parallel operation in accordance with the circulating reactive current method. 6.2.3.1.1 Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity 1.

The voltage regulators return the on-load tap-changers to the earlier

operating positions. If the earlier operating positions are not reached, then the "circulating reactive current sensitivity" should be increased. If the on-load tap-changers pass each other, then the "circulating reactive current sensitivity" should be reduced. After the parameter "circulating reactive current sensitivity" has been set, continue by setting the circulating reactive current blocking (see "Setting circulating reactive current blocking" on page 75). 6.2.3.1.2 Setting circulating reactive current blocking 1. 2. Press on 1 voltage regulator to select manual mode.

If one or all voltage regulators indicate "Parallel operation error: circulating reactive current limit exceeded" although the control inputs are correctly connected for all the voltage regulators, then all the voltage regulators block.

6.2.3.2
Function tests in accordance with tap synchronization (master/follower/auto) The following sections describe how to carry out function tests for parallel operation in accordance with the master/follower tap synchronization method. Before starting the function test carry out the following steps: Select the relevant method and assign the master function to a voltage regulator. Assign the follower function to the other voltage regulators. Check the tap position display. The master and follower must be in the same step.
The function test can now be started.

11. Set follower to AUTO mode.
There is no response. All regulators remain blocked.

12. Set master and follower to MANUAL mode and adjust manually to the target step. Since, in parallel operation, the tap positions of the transformers which are running in parallel with one another are compared using the "automatic tap synchronization" method, it is absolutely essential that these transformers share the same position designation and that the "Raise" or "Lower" signals produce the same voltage change in all transformers. If instances arise where the follower voltage regulator(s) switch(es) in the opposite direction from the master voltage regulator step change, then the setting for the follower parameter must be changed from "Default" to "Swapped". The voltage regulator is now completely installed and commissioned. During operation, note the operating instructions provided.

Functions and settings

This chapter describes all the functions and setting options for the voltage regulator. The setting values appear in the relevant sections or in summary in a table. The chapters are laid out following the menu structure of the device. The voltage regulator functions are set using the keys on the device. Settings can only be carried out in manual mode (MANUAL) with the key lock deactivated. The procedure for activating or deactivating the key lock is described in the following sections.

7.2
NORMset
As an alternative to parameterizing the voltage regulator manually, the NORMset mode enables easy commissioning of the voltage regulator with a limited set of parameters. When this mode is selected, the factory settings required for voltage regulation are adopted. When commissioning the voltage regulator in NORMset mode, the following parameters must be set: Desired value 1 Primary voltage Secondary voltage
When these 3 parameters have been set, the voltage regulator is ready to operate. Once NORMset has been activated, no additional settings can be undertaken for line drop compensation.
The desired value is compared with the measured voltage present on the voltage regulator depending on the unit defined, i.e. V (secondary voltage of voltage transformer) or kV (primary voltage of voltage transformer). If additional information on current and phase angle are required, connect the current transformer and adjust the current connection data (see "Setting the current transformer connection" on page 133). After the desired voltage level and voltage transformer data have been entered, if NORMset is activated the voltage regulator checks the grid conditions and automatically adapts other settings, composed partly of predefined parameters and default values. All other parameters required for simple voltage regulation are predefined in the factory. The procedure for activating or deactivating NORMset mode is described in the following sections. A manual tap-change operation is required once NORMset has been activated. This is how the voltage regulator determines the bandwidth required. If the transformer has been switched off, another manual tap-change operation is required.

Parameters
This section describes all the functions, parameters and recommended setting ranges for voltage regulation with the voltage regulator. To make it easier for you to find specific parameters, the description refers to subgroups of individual parameters with related functions.
7.3.1
Setting control parameters

This submenu contains all the parameters required for the control function. Desired values 1/2/3 Bandwidth Delay time T1 Control response T1 Delay time T2
The desired voltage level, Vtarget is specified as a fixed value. The desired value can be entered using the voltage regulator user interface, both in the NORMset mode subgroup and in the parameter mode subgroup. In addition, the voltage regulator also allows you to change the desired value during operation if this is necessary. The desired values are activated using binary inputs. Up to 3 desired values can be entered in parameter mode: Desired value 1 Desired value 2 Desired value 3
Desired value 1 is the default desired value.Desired values 2 or 3 are activated if there is a continuous signal at the pre-assigned IO-X1/17 or IO-X1/16 inputs (factory preset).If there is a signal at both inputs at the same time, desired value 2 is active. The following sections describe how to set the desired values.

Bandwidth
The bandwidth is the permitted deviation of the measured voltage from the selected desired value. If the measured voltage is inside the bandwidth, then no control commands are issued to the on-load tap-changer. If the measured voltage deviates from the specified bandwidth, a tap-change command occurs after the set delay time T1. The on-load tap-changer carries out a tap-change in a positive or negative direction. If the level is persistently above or below the bandwidth, the "Function monitoring" alarm message is triggered after 15 minutes. The corresponding relay is also activated. The alarm message is only reset when the measured voltage returns to within the set.

Visual display The deviation from the set bandwidth is shown visually in the voltage regulator display. The measured voltage mark shows whether the measured voltage is above, inside or below the set bandwidth. Progress of delay time T1 is indicated by the gradual filling of the time bar in the voltage regulator's display. The seconds display above this indicates the remaining delay time T1.

Bandwidth (upper and lower limit) Time bar for delay time T1 Desired voltage value Measured voltage Remaining delay time T1
Determining bandwidth In order to be able to set the value correctly, the transformer's step voltage and nominal voltage must be known. The following value is recommended for the bandwidth "B %": Vn-1 Un [B % ] 0.6 Vnominal 100 %
84
TAPCON 260
1801003/05 EN
where: Vn-1: Vn: Vnominal Step voltage of position n-1 Step voltage of position n Nominal voltage
The bandwidth must be selected in such a way that the output voltage of the transformer (Vactual) returns to within the specified tolerance range after the tap change. If too small a bandwidth is defined, the output voltage exceeds the bandwidth selected and the voltage regulator must immediately issue a tap-change command in the opposite direction. If a very large bandwidth is selected, this results in a major control deviation. Sample calculation The following transformer parameters are used by way of example for determining the recommended bandwidth: Nominal voltage: Step voltage of position 4: Step voltage of position 5: Vnominal = 11000 V Vstep4 = 11275 V Vstep5 = 11000 V

7.3.6
Setting delay time T1

Delay time T1 delays the issuing of a tap-change command for a defined period. This function prevents unnecessary tap-change operations if the tolerance bandwidth is exited for a short time. If the current measured voltage leaves the bandwidth, delay time T1 starts. This is shown visually in the display by the time bar filling and the remaining time being indicated. If the control deviation is still present after the delay time, a tap-change command is issued. If during the delay time the measured voltage returns to within the bandwidth range, the delay time still running is counted down in seconds starting from the time already expired. The absolute time display disappears from the display. The time bar graph is shown hatched and shrinks steadily. If the measured voltage exceeds the set bandwidth once more whilst the time is not displayed, then the time delay is restarted from the remaining time. The advantage of counting the time back down is that, if the bandwidth is exceeded frequently, the voltage regulator does not start counting again at 0 seconds, but uses the time already elapsed as the starting point for beginning the next delay time.

7.3.7
Setting control response T1

The delay time T1 can be set to linear or integral. With "Linear time" the voltage regulator responds with a constant delay time which is independent of the control deviation. If "Integral time" is set, the delay time decreases depending on the ratio of current control deviation to set bandwidth B, to a minimum of 1 second. The greater the control deviation (V) the shorter the response time. This means that the voltage regulator reacts faster to unexpectedly large voltage changes in the grid. The regulation accuracy therefore increases at the expense of switching frequency (see diagram).

Activating/deactivating delay time T2

The delay time T2 only takes effect if more than one tap-change operation is required for returning the voltage to within the specified bandwidth.With integral control response in particular, the time until release of an output pulse would increase after each tap change process. The first output pulse occurs after the set delay time T1. After the set delay time T2 has elapsed, additional pulses occur. These are needed to correct the existing control deviation.

This subgroup contains all the parameters required for monitoring the limit values. The limit values can be set as percentages or absolute values.

If the measured voltage falls below the set limit value, the signaling relay is permanently activated after around 10 seconds (IO-X1/18, IO-X1/19, IO-X1/20 contacts). If the measured voltage and/or supply voltage fails (< 30 V), the signaling relay is not activated. This function is a default setting and you can deactivate it (see "Activating/deactivating signal for undervoltage V< below 30 V" on page 106). The limit value for undervoltage blocking is set as a percentage of the set desired value. Setting range 60 %...100 % of desired value

Setting the V> overvoltage limit value [%] When the overvoltage detection responds, the on-load tap-changer is activated by periodical control of the motor-drive unit until the measured voltage is less than the set overvoltage limit value. This is controlled by the output relay for the "Lower" switching direction at the intervals dictated by the set switching pulse duration without the set switching delay becoming active. At the same time, the "V>" LED is illuminated and a signaling relay is activated (IO-X1-X1/19, IO-X1/20 contacts) as long as there is overvoltage. You can set the interval for LOWER (see "Setting the switching pulse time" on page 142). Instead of the high-speed return control function, the control can also be blocked if the overvoltage value is exceeded. The V> overvoltage limit is entered as a percentage of the set desired value.

Abnormal control response

You can use this function to set how the voltage regulator responds during an abnormal control response. To do this, the voltage regulator monitors, in automatic mode, the number of consecutive RAISE operations within a defined time period. If the maximum permissible number of tap-change operations is exceeded, the voltage regulator blocks any more RAISE operations for a time that you can set. As an option, MR can parameterize the voltage regulator such that a signal is output via a relay during the blocking time. An example of how the voltage regulator responds in this case is shown below.

Compensation
The quality of the energy supply depends not only on the voltage at the busbar of the supply transformer (measurement value V), but also the voltage directly at the equipment. In some cases the line impedance - of the cables or overhead lines - needs to be taken into account for voltage regulation. A significant (load-dependent) voltage drop can occur in these cables. This voltage drop is dependent on the following factors at the consumer: Impedance (apparent resistance) Cable Electrical current Phase angle
The voltage regulator has two possible ways of balancing a load-related voltage drop between the transformer and the consumer: Line drop compensation Z compensation
Comparison between line drop compensation and Z Compensation Line drop compensation (vectorial compensation): provides more precise compensation of cable voltage drops requires several parameters requires full knowledge of the cable data
Z compensation: can be used with minor changes in the phase angle cos is not dependent on phase angle cos is simple to set can also be used in meshed grids
Both methods are described in more detail in the following sections.

Line drop compensation Line drop compensation requires exact cable data. Line voltage drops can be compensated very accurately using LDC. To set the line drop compensation correctly, you have to calculate the ohmic and inductive voltage drop, in relation to the secondary side of the voltage transformer in V. The existing measuring circuit also has to be set correctly. The setting values must first be calculated in order to enter the correct values for the ohmic and inductive voltage drops. Sample calculation: Vr Vx IN kCT kVT r x L LDC setting for ohmic line voltage drop in V LDC setting for inductive line voltage drop in V Nominal current in A of selected current transformer connection on voltage regulator: 0.2 A; 1 A or 5 A Current transformer ratio; for example 200 A/5 A Voltage transformer ratio Ohmic line resistance in /km per phase Inductive line resistance in /km per phase Length of line in km

Cross-monitoring
Cross-monitoring permits the reciprocal monitoring of 2 voltage regulators. The voltage regulator detects potential errors in the following parts and reports them via the standard self-monitoring: Mains unit Processor error No program
Should an error occur, this is signaled via the status contact. The reciprocal cross-monitoring can therefore only be restricted to the following: No measured value and/or measurement card error With voltage regulators which check one another, the measured value of the other voltage regulator is supplied via second measurement inputs. The measured values calculated accordingly for the voltage regulators are obtained via the CAN bus and compared with the original measured values. If the measured values deviate, the "Measured value error" signal is issued via an output relay. The second measurement inputs should be considered separately from the first ones. This allows voltage regulators from different voltage levels to be checked. Checking voltage regulation within definable upper and lower limits A measured voltage is supplied to a voltage regulator via a second measurement input. In addition to this measured value, a separate desired value, a lower limit and an upper limit and a time delay can be set. If one of these limits is exceeded, a signal is issued via an output relay after the set time. If wired accordingly, relay contacts can block the raise/lower pulse to the motor-drive unit. Regulation of individual voltage regulators is not affected by limit value monitoring. In order to ensure communication between the monitoring voltage regulators via the CAN bus interface, the CAN address must be entered. "1" must be assigned as the CAN address for the first voltage regulator and "2" for the second one.

Parallel operation
Mains power supply sometimes requires an increase in the short-circuit capacity or the throughput capacity at a site. For this reason, tapped transformers are connected in parallel. A safer and more cost effective parallel operation is achieved if the joint capacity of the transformers connected in parallel is utilized without overloading individual transformers. Compliance with the following general conditions is recommended for operating transformers in parallel: Identical rated voltage Ratio of transformer output (<3:1) Maximum deviation of short-circuit voltages (VK) for transformers connected in parallel 10 % Same number of switching groups
You can use the voltage regulator to control up to 16 transformers on a busbar connected in parallel in one or 2 groups without detecting the system topology. Information is swapped using the CAN bus. Parallel operation is activated using one of 2 status inputs or the control system. There are 2 reasons for setting up parallel operating mode: 1. 2. To increase the short-circuit capacity To increase the throughput capacity
Parallel control can take one of two forms: Parallel operation following the "Circulating reactive current minimum" principle Parallel operation following the "Tap synchronization" (master/follower) principle

Before activating a parallel operation method, additional requirements must be met: Correct individual CAN bus addresses must be set (0). The parallel operation group 1 or 2 must be selected or activated using a predefined IO.

The parallel operation method is deactivated. 7.4.3.3 Selecting circulating reactive current sensitivity When circulating reactive current is selected, then parallel operation is carried out using the circulating reactive current minimization method. The circulating reactive current is calculated from the transformer currents and their phase angles. A voltage proportional to the circulating reactive current is added to the independently operating voltage regulators as a correction for the measurement voltage. This voltage correction can be reduced or increased using the circulating reactive current sensitivity setting. The circulating reactive current sensitivity method is suited to transformers connected in parallel with a similar nominal output and nominal voltage VK and to vector groups with the same and different step voltages. This does not require any information about the tap position. This parallel operation method requires each transformer in the parallel vector group to be controlled by a separate voltage regulator.
When setting the "circulating reactive current" parallel operation method, the values for blocking and circulating reactive current sensitivity must first be set.

Defining the master tap synchronization method With this parallel operation method the voltage regulator is designated as the master. This voltage regulator takes control while all other follower voltage regulators comply with the control commands of the master. The master compares the tap positions of the followers with its own tap position using the CAN bus. If there is a tap difference, the master directs the followers to be adjusted to the same tap position. If the specified master fails, then the error message "Parallel operation error: no master available" appears in the display. In addition, depending on the configuration of the "Simplex mode blocking" parameter, those voltage regulators which are set accordingly are blocked or continue in simplex mode.
Please note that each voltage regulator must be assigned an address using the "CAN Address" display. Each address may only be used once. Only when all voltage regulators are registered can they communicate with one another using the CAN bus and use the "master/follower" method.

Specifying the follower tap synchronization method With this parallel operation method, the voltage regulator with the lowest CAN address within the same parallel operation group is automatically selected as master. This voltage regulator undertakes the measurement and adjusts the on-load tap-changer in order to correct the voltage if a deviation occurs. As with the "Master" parallel operation method, the voltage regulator compares the tap position of the followers with its own tap position using the CAN bus. If there is a tap difference, the voltage regulator directs the followers to be adjusted to the same tap position. If there is a tap position difference between the master and follower which is larger than the maximum set tap difference , then the "Parallel operation error" signal is issued. Automatic regulation blocks. Please note that each voltage regulator must be assigned an address using the "CAN Address" display. Each address may only be used once.

A setting of 0% has no effect. With circulating reactive current relating to the rated current on the current transformer, if you set the value to 10 % for example, this would cause the voltage in the voltage regulator to be corrected by 10%. This correction to the voltage can be increased or decreased with this setting to attain the optimum value.

Configuring measured value memory function (optional)

You can undertake measured value memory settings in this subgroup. This configures the event memory and plotter function. The "Measured value plotter" module (8MB) can be used to save the data listed below and display and evaluate this either on the display or using the TAPCONtrol visualization software. For more detailed information, please refer to the respective technical files for both the hardware and visualization software. The following values are displayed: Measured values On-load tap-changer position Voltage Active current Reactive current Calculated values Active power Reactive power Apparent power Output factor Calculation of the values stated depends on the measured values captured and the parameters set, for example: Current measuring circuit Primary current Voltage transformer data from primary and secondary sides A correct calculation can only be undertaken if the configuration data are correctly entered in full.

7.4.7.1
Average value memory and event memory The measured value plotter is split into the following areas: Average value memory In the average value memory, all measured and calculated values are averaged and saved using the average value intervals you set. You can set the average value intervals in stages between 1 and 40 seconds. You can set the average value interval (see "Setting time difference of average value interval" on page 186). Event memory Data is always saved to the event memory with the highest resolution without first being averaged. You can also determine how much memory space is to be made available exclusively for the event memory (see "Setting size of event memory" on page 187). The memory size is 8MB. The measured value plotter is equipped with event triggering such that an event is triggered depending on the undervoltage and/or overvoltage limit value that you can set. The data recorded here are stored in the measured value memory's event memory. To allow instances where values exceed or fall below the limit values to be better evaluated, the chronological sequence for the measured and calculated values also includes the last 10 seconds before the value exceeds or falls below the limit value. Event is saved for a maximum of 5 minutes. Only the time-based processes for values measured and calculated during the event are stored in the event memory.
If the event memory is full, the oldest values are overwritten by the new values measured. You can access information about the current event memory content via the "Info" menu.

Physical connection
The connection to system level takes the form of a network cable via the RJ45 port on the rear of the TAPCON 260. The speed is automatically set to 10 or 100 Mbit. Before commissioning the TAPCON 260, the customer/system developer and MR should compare configuration data. On request, MR will send the ICD (Intelligent electronic device Configuration Description) file to the customer/system developer and the compared configuration details are returned as a CID (Configured Intelligent electronic Device) file. The parameters for the TCP/IP address, subnet mask and time server address can also be set later on. This can either be done directly via corresponding screens on the TAPCON 260 itself or via the "TAPCON-trol system" visualization software, i.e. on a PC or laptop. The system time for the SID card is set via the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) time server. The product was developed in compliance with the relevant EMC standards. In order to maintain EMC standards, note the descriptions provided in the Electromagnetic compatibility (see "Electromagnetic compatibility" on page 55) chapter.
8.2
Device-specific data points for TAPCON 260

The device-specific data points and presettings can be found in the device's ICD file. The MICS (Model Implementation Conformance Statement) and PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement) can be requested for the device.

You can download the ICD file via FTP from the communication unit (SID) using an Internet browser. To do this, you need to know the configured IP address in order to establish the Ethernet connection. Proceed as follows to download the ICD file: 1. 2. 3. Enter ftp://gast@<IP address> in your browser (in the example in the diagram below, the IP address is 192.168.0.1). Use "Save as" to save the ICD file (in this example ATCC.ICD) on the local PC. Other files, such as the Model Implementation Conformance Statement, are located in the misc folder and can also be saved on the local PC using "Save as".
