Section 18 Metering18.1 Pulse-counter logic PCFCNT18.1.1 IdentificationFunction description IEC 61850identificationIEC 60617identificationANSI/IEEE C37.2device numberPulse-counter logic PCFCNTS00947 V1 EN-18.1.2 ApplicationPulse-counter logic (PCFCNT) function counts externally generated binary pulses,for instance pulses coming from an external energy meter, for calculation of energyconsumption values. The pulses are captured by the binary input module (BIM), andread by the PCFCNT function. The number of pulses in the counter is then reported viathe station bus to the substation automation system or read via the station monitoringsystem as a service value. When using IEC 61850–8–1, a scaled service value isavailable over the station bus.The normal use for this function is the counting of energy pulses from external energymeters. An optional number of inputs from an arbitrary input module in IED can beused for this purpose with a frequency of up to 40 Hz. The pulse-counter logicPCFCNT can also be used as a general purpose counter.18.1.3 Setting guidelinesParameters that can be set individually for each pulse counter from PCM600:• Operation: Off/On• tReporting: 0-3600s• EventMask: NoEvents/ReportEventsConfiguration of inputs and outputs of PCFCNT is made via PCM600.1MRK 502 071-UEN - Section 18MeteringGenerator protection REG670 2.2 IEC and Injection equipment REX060, REX061, REX062 671Application manual
