DIGSI - Fault analysis with SIGRA

 Time-signal curves, circle

diagrams, vector
diagrams, bar charts
 Calculation of positive-
sequence impedances,
rms values, symmetrical
components, vectors,
and much more
 Quick and easy
measurement using two
cursors
 Adding further fault
recordings (e.g. from the
remote end of a line)
 Synchronization of fault
recordings
 Also for fault recordings

DIGSI - Programming SIPROTEC with CFC

 PLC integrated into the SIPROTEC 4 relays

 Fully graphic, no programming skills required
 Libraries with standard blocks
 Drag blocks from the catalog into the chart, link
them with a mouse click
 Connecting block inputs and outputs with
information items (measured values,
indications, circuit breaker positions, ...)
 Consistency check with guarantee of
effectiveness of the protection © Siemens AG 2008

DIGSI - Typical CFC applications

 Extension of the release condition for a switching command

(e.g. by the position of a further disconnector and the information item "spring charged")

 Display of an application-specific group indication in an LED

(single indications logically combined with operators, such as AND, OR, NOT)

 Display of a new dynamic symbol for an item of equipment in the

display
(various states calculated by the CFC logic)

 Switchover of the parameter group

(on phase currents dropping below a limit value)

 Blinking alarm LED if the switching authority is set to "LOCAL"

 Implementation of a protection function not offered in the relay
(e.g. "Reverse power protection" or "Efficiency monitoring")

 Forced sequence switching after pressing a function key on the relay

(e.g. automatic grounding)

 Step-by-step load shedding on power deficit

(calculation of suitable feeders by the CFC logic)
