Section 15 Metering15.1 Pulse counter PCGGIO15.1.1 IdentificationFunction description IEC 61850identificationIEC 60617identificationANSI/IEEE C37.2device numberPulse counter PCGGIOS00947 V1 EN-15.1.2 ApplicationPulse counter (PCGGIO) function counts externally generated binary pulses, for instancepulses coming from an external energy meter, for calculation of energy consumptionvalues. The pulses are captured by the binary input module (BIO), and read by thePCGGIO function. The number of pulses in the counter is then reported via the station busto the substation automation system or read via the station monitoring system as a servicevalue. When using IEC 61850–8–1, a scaled service value is available 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 the binary input module in IED can be used forthis purpose with a frequency of up to 10 Hz. PCGGIO can also be used as a generalpurpose counter.15.1.3 Setting guidelinesFrom PCM600, these parameters can be set individually for each pulse counter:• Operation: Disabled/Enabled• tReporting: 0-3600s• EventMask: NoEvents/ReportEventsThe configuration of the inputs and outputs of PCGGIO function block is made withPCM600.1MRK 506 334-UUS A Section 15Metering455Application manual
