15.6.1 IdentificationFunction description IEC 61850identificationIEC 60617identificationANSI/IEEE C37.2device numberSelector mini switch VSGAPC - 4315.6.2 ApplicationSelector mini switch (VSGAPC) function is a multipurpose function used in theconfiguration tool in PCM600 for a variety of applications, as a general purposeswitch. VSGAPC can be used for both acquiring an external switch position (throughthe IPOS1 and the IPOS2 inputs) and represent it through the single line diagramsymbols (or use it in the configuration through the outputs POS1 and POS2) as wellas, a command function (controlled by the PSTO input), giving switching commandsthrough the CMDPOS12 and CMDPOS21 outputs.The output POSITION is an integer output, showing the actual position as an integernumber 0 – 3, where 0 = MidPos, 1 = Open, 2 = Closed and 3 = Error.An example where VSGAPC is configured to switch Autorecloser on–off from abutton symbol on the local HMI is shown in figure297. The I and O buttons on thelocal HMI are normally used for on–off operations of the circuit breaker.IEC07000112-3-en.vsdPSTOCMDPOS12IPOS1NAM_POS1NAM_POS2IPOS2CMDPOS21OFFONVSGAPCSMBRRECONOFFSETONINTONEINVERTERINPUT OUTIEC07000112 V3 ENFigure 297: Control of Autorecloser from local HMI through Selector mini switchVSGAPC is also provided with IEC 61850 communication so it can be controlledfrom SA system as well.15.6.3 Setting guidelinesSelector mini switch (VSGAPC) function can generate pulsed or steady commands(by setting the Mode parameter). When pulsed commands are generated, the length ofthe pulse can be set using the tPulse parameter. Also, being accessible on the singleline diagram (SLD), this function block has two control modes (settable throughCtlModel): Dir Norm and SBO Enh.Section 15 1MRK 502 071-UEN -Control592 Generator protection REG670 2.2 IEC and Injection equipment REX060, REX061, REX062Application manual
