1 Introduction

1.1 Features
• Monitors the gas pressure of the three circuit-breaker poles
• Issues an alarm signal if the gas pressure is invalid

1.2 Application

This document specifies the function of the three-pole gas pressure monitoring
function block CMGAS3 used in products based on the RED 500 Platform.

Three digital inputs are used for monitoring the SF6 gas pressure. When the gas
pressure drops below the acceptable limit, the falling edge of a digital signal triggers
and activates an alarm signal. The alarm signal cannot be acknowledged before the
breaker poles have been refilled to the correct pressure.

GAS_L2 Digital signal (BOOL, active low) Gas pressure indication, pole L2
GAS_L3 Digital signal (BOOL, active low) Gas pressure indication, pole L3
ACK Digital signal (BOOL, pos edge) Alarm acknowledgement signal

1.4 Output description

2 Description of Operation

2.1 Operation criteria

The digital signals GAS_L1, GAS_L2 and GAS_L3 indicate the gas pressure of each
pole: an active signal (FALSE) indicates a fault condition, whereas an inactive signal
(TRUE) indicates the correct gas pressure. The function block will activate the
ALARM signal when the specific alarm delay has elapsed after the falling edge of any
of the GAS_L1..3 signals. In order to activate the ALARM signal, the gas pressure
should remain FALSE throughout the alarm delay.

After an alarm is detected, an indication on the MMI is activated telling which pole of
the circuit breaker is damaged or needs to be refilled with gas, and the corresponding
event is sent.

2.2 Resetting

The operation indications of the function block can be reset via the general parameter
F001V011 or the push-button C on the front panel of the MMI, which both affect all
function blocks.

2.3 Alarm acknowledgement

The alarm cannot be acknowledged if any of the GAS_L1..3 inputs is FALSE. The
alarm signal acknowledgement deactivates the active alarm signal of the function
block. The alarm signal can be acknowledged by the rising edge of the ACK signal, or
by the local menu command or the remote command. Separate events are not
generated by the acknowledgement because it deactivates the ALARM signal and an
event is generated by the deactivation.

3 Parameters and Events

3.1 General
• Each function block has a specific channel number for serial communication
parameters and events. The channel for CMGAS3 is 194.
• The data direction of the parameters defines the use of each parameter as follows:
Data direction Description
R, R/M Read only
W Write only
R/W Read and write

• The different event mask parameters (see section “Control settings”) affect the
visibility of events on the MMI or on serial communication (LON or SPA) as
follows:
Event mask 1 (FxxxV101/102) SPA / MMI (LON)
Event mask 2 (FxxxV103/104) LON
Event mask 3 (FxxxV105/106) LON
Event mask 4 (FxxxV107/108) LON

For example, if only the events E3, E4 and E5 are to be seen on the MMI of the
relay terminal, the event mask value 56 (8 + 16 + 32) is written to the “Event mask
1” parameter (FxxxV101).

In case a function block includes more than 32 events, there are two parameters
instead of e.g. the “Event mask 1” parameter: the parameter “Event mask 1A”
(FxxxV101) covers the events 0...31 and “Event mask 1B”(FxxxV102) the events
32...63.
