If blocking signal is active when pick-up element activates a BLOCKED signal will be generated and the
function shall not process the situation further. If START function has been activated before blocking
signal it will reset and the release time characteristics are processed as in case of when pick-up signal
is reset.
From blocking of the function a HMI display event as well as time stamped blocking event with
information of the startup current values and fault type is issued.
Blocking signal can be tested also in the commissioning phase of the stage by software switch signal
when relay common and global testing mode is activated.
User settable variables are binary signals from the system. Blocking signal needs to reach the IED
minimum of 5 ms before the set operating delay has passedfor blocking to be active in time.
Operating time characteristics for activation
This function supports de nite time delay (DT). For detailed information on this delay type refer to
chapter General properties of a protection function.
Events and registers
The VTS function generates events and registers from the status changes of the ALARM activated and
blocked signals. To main event buffer is possible to select status “On” or “Off” messages.
In the function is available 12 last registers where the triggering event of the function (ALARM activated
or blocked) is recorded with time stamp and process data values.

In the register of the VTS function is recorded activated, blocked etc. “On” event process data. In the
table below is presented the structure of VTS function register content. This information is available in
12 last recorded events for all provided instances separately.
