5-166 D30 LINE DISTANCE PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUALFLEXLOGIC CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS5specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual output.Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as aseal-in or other type of feedback.A FlexLogic equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations ofparameters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (=ON, or flag set) or 0(=OFF, or flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least four times every power system cycle.Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances, for example contact and remote inputs. These typesof operands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the front panel display. The table lists characteristicsof the different types of operands.Table 5-19: D30 FlexLogic operand typesThe following table lists the operands available for the relay. The operands can be viewed online by entering the IP addressof the relay in a web browser and accessing the Device Information Menu.Operand type State Example of format Characteristics[Input Is ‘1’ (= ON) if...]Contact Input On Cont Ip On Voltage is applied presently to the input (external contactclosed)Off Cont Ip Off Voltage is not applied presently to the input (externalcontact open)Contact Output(type Form-A contactonly)Contact Closed Cont Op 1 Closed Contact output is closedCurrent On Cont Op 1 Ion Current is flowing through the contactVoltage On Cont Op 1 VOn Voltage exists across the contactVoltage Off Cont Op 1 VOff Voltage does not exist across the contactDirect Input On DIRECT INPUT 1 On The direct input is presently in the ON stateElement(Analog)Pickup PHASE TOC1 PKP The tested parameter is presently above the pickup settingof an element that responds to rising values or below thepickup setting of an element that responds to falling valuesDropout PHASE TOC1 DPO This operand is the logical inverse of the above PKPoperandOperate PHASE TOC1 OP The tested parameter has been above/below the pickupsetting of the element for the programmed delay time, orhas been at logic 1 and is now at logic 0 but the reset timerhas not finished timingBlock PHASE TOC1 BLK The output of the comparator is set to the block functionElement(Digital)Pickup Dig Element 1 PKP The input operand is at logic 1Dropout Dig Element 1 DPO This operand is the logical inverse of the above PKPoperandOperate Dig Element 1 OP The input operand has been at logic 1 for the programmedpickup delay time, or has been at logic 1 for this period andis now at logic 0 but the reset timer has not finished timingElement(Digital Counter)Higher than Counter 1 HI The number of pulses counted is above the set numberEqual to Counter 1 EQL The number of pulses counted is equal to the set numberLower than Counter 1 LO The number of pulses counted is below the set numberFixed On On Logic 1Off Off Logic 0RxGOOSE Boolean On RxGOOSE Boolean 1 On The RxGOOSE Boolean is presently in the ON stateVirtual Input On Virt Ip 1 On The virtual input is presently in the ON stateVirtual Output On Virt Op 1 On The virtual output is presently in the set state (that is,evaluation of the equation that produces this virtual outputresults in a "1")
