readings according to the setting of parameter CountCriteria. The signal must be a pulsewith a length >1 second.The BI_PULSE input is connected to the used input of the function block for the binaryinput output module (BIO).The RS_CNT input is used for resetting the counter.Each PCGGIO function block has four binary output signals that can be used for eventrecording: INVALID, RESTART, BLOCKED and NEW_VAL. These signals and theSCAL_VAL signal are accessable over IEC 61850.The INVALID signal is a steady signal and is set if the binary input module, where thepulse counter input is located, fails or has wrong configuration.The RESTART signal is a steady signal and is set when the reported value does notcomprise a complete integration cycle. That is, in the first message after IED start-up, inthe first message after deblocking, and after the counter has wrapped around during lastintegration cycle.The BLOCKED signal is a steady signal and is set when the counter is blocked. There aretwo reasons why the counter is blocked:• The BLOCK input is set, or• The binary input module, where the counter input is situated, is inoperative.The NEW_VAL signal is a pulse signal. The signal is set if the counter value was updatedsince last report.Note, the pulse is short, one cycle.The SCAL_VAL signal consists of scaled value (according to parameter Scale), time andstatus information.15.1.8 Technical dataTable 535:PCGGIO technical dataFunction Setting range AccuracyCycle time for report of countervalue(1–3600) s -Section 15 1MRK 506 335-UUS AMetering710Technical manual
