The pulses are captured by the binary input module (BIM),and read by the PCFCNT function. The number of pulses in the counter is thenreported via the station bus to the substation automation system or read via thestation monitoring system as a service value. When using IEC 61850–8–1, a scaledservice value is available over the station bus.The normal use for this function is the counting of energy pulses from externalenergy meters. An optional number of inputs from an arbitrary input module inIED can be used for this purpose with a frequency of up to 40 Hz. The pulse-counter logic PCFCNT can also be used as a general purpose counter.14.1.3 Setting guidelines M13396-4 v9Parameters 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 504 169-UEN A Section 14MeteringTransformer protection RET650 2.2 IEC 295Application manual
