Sepam Control and Monitoring functions- General
Sepam performs the control and monitoring functions:
Predefined and fit the applications most frequently used
ready to use, simple parameter setting: Local annunciation, Circuit breaker/
contactor control, Latching / acknowledgement
Customized functions by using the SFT2841 software:
can be adapted for particular needs by logic equation editor, Logipam software
(by expert), customization of the control matrix, LEDs and display messages.
Operating principle: 3 phases
1. Acquisition of input data: protections, inputs, remote control via the
communication (TC)
2. Actual logic processing of the control and monitoring function
3. Utilization of the processing results: activating output, message, LED, remote
indicator via the communication (TS)

Sepam Control and Monitoring functions- Switching of groups of settings
Switching from one group of settings to another makes it possible to adapt the
protection characteristics to suit the electrical environment of the application
There are two groups of settings, group A / group B, for:
the phase overcurrent
the earth fault
directional phase overcurrent and directional earth fault protection functions
The setting switching mode is determined by parameter setting:
switching according to the position of logic input I13 (0 = group A, 1 = group B)
switching by remote control (TC3, TC4)
forced group A or group B.

All the output relays are forced to the idle state
All protection functions are inhibited
The watchdog output indicates failure
A red LED on the Sepam front panel is on and a diagnostic message appears on the Sepam display
Minor failure: Sepam switches to downgraded operation.
Major failure: Sepam switches to the fail-safe position and attempts a restart during which it again runs its
self-tests. There are 2 possible scenarios:
the internal failure is still present. It is a permanent failure.
the internal failure is no longer present. It is a transient failure.

Using the watchdog

The watchdog output activates a system alarm.
To ensure that Sepam protection functions are working correctly.
