Function inputs and outputs
The blocking signal and the setting group selection control the operating characteristics of the function
during normal operation, i.e. the user or user-defined logic can change function parameters while the
function is running.
The machine thermal overload protection function uses a total of eight (8) separate setting groups
which can be selected from one common source.
The operational logic consists of the following:
• input magnitude processing
• thermal replica
• comparator
• block signal check
• output processing.
The inputs for the function are the following:
• setting parameters
• measured and pre-processed current magnitudes.
The function's output signals can be used for direct I/O controlling and user logic programming. The
function generates general time-stamped ON/OFF events to the common event buffer from each of the
output signals. The time stamp resolution is 1 ms. The function also provides a resettable cumulative
counter for the TRIP, ALARM 1, ALARM 2, INHIBIT and BLOCKED events.
The following figure presents a simplified function block diagram of the machine thermal overload
protection function.
