2. Control software environment
This chapter provides an overview on the control software (SW) and
customer portals for the PCS6000.
2.1 Control software

The Control SW is a productized SW and divided into different software
parts. The different parts are bundled in a so called Firmware Release. The
Control SW is able to run on any PCS6000 configuration.
The customer specific parameterization is made with a parameter
definition file called Parameter File. Every customer gets his plant specific
Parameter File.
2.1.1 Firmware release

The Firmware Release consist of different Control SW parts. Fig. 2-1 shows
the different Firmware Release parts.

2.1.2 Parameter files

• CM / Control Master: The Control Master Parameter File is applicable
for a whole project, eg, a wind park.
• CV / Control Version: The Control Version is a parameter set which is
based on the Control Master, but differs in some data, eg, for
testing purposes. The CV is always prepared on customer needs.

3. PCS service suite
3.1 General
This chapter provides an overview on the installed hardware and software
suite for operation, maintenance and troubleshooting purposes.
3.2 Overview
The PCS Service Suite is a set of hardware and software components that
support ABB authorized personnel in operation, maintenance and
troubleshooting of the PCS6000.
The PCS Service Suite provides a complete overview and access to
converter operation as well as additional features for remote software
update and trending of measurement values during operation.
ABB also has tools for debugging of complex errors, which are stored and
prepared on ABB specific login on the IPC.
The PCS6000 HMI, which is part of the PCS Service Suite, features most of
the functionalities which are required to monitor and control the
converter. The software HMI is installed locally on the IPC and access is
gained remotely.
Note: For connection details, see “3.6.1 Connect to Windows” on page 27.

3.4 Software security

This section provides possible security measures that a user of the PCS
Service Suite may consider applying and describes security measures
which are already implemented.
The described measures are not necessarily complete or effective for a
particular application and network installation.
Furthermore, the update and patch process is described which ABB offers
for keeping the PCS Service Suite up to date with security fixes
and patches.
3.4.1 Patch and update process

ABB can provide updates and security fixes on request on a regular basis.
The updates are prepared and tested by ABB. It is in the customer’s
responsibility to request and deploy the update.
3.4.2 Implemented security measures

To prevent the system from malware, eg, viruses and worms different
security measures are implemented and taken under consideration
during development.
• Every software system can get proper security fixes and updates in
a regularly basis
• Only ports, services and software which are needed for intended
operation are installed and enabled by default
• Malware protection with application whitelisting which prevents
unauthorized applications to run
• OS Snapshot functionalities implemented and initial
OS Snapshots created
3.4.3 Recommended additional security measures

The following recommendations are just a raw abstract of best practices
in interacting with the PCS Service Suite.
• Scan devices/files/folders with anti-virus software before
attaching/transferring to PCS Service Suite
• Always use encrypted data transfer (FTPS)
• Keep accessing client PC up to date with latest patches and
security fixes
• Use a real-time anti-virus scanner on client PC
• Do not transfer new executables/scripts to PCS Service Suite
• Use strong passwords meeting following criteria: min 8 characters
length, special characters, upper and lowercase characters

3.4.4 Network rate limiter

It is recommended to implement a network rate limiter for PCS
Service Suite.
This network rate limiter should control the maximum TCP/IP packets
send to the PCS Service Suite according threshold limits given
in Table 3-6.
Table 3-6 Network rate limiter threshold values
Protocol Threshold valve Test method

ARP 4 Mbps 6000 pps, ARP Cache Saturation
IP 10 Mbps 14880 pps, IP Broadcast Storm
ICMP 8 Mbps 12000 pps, ICMP Storm
TCP 6.5 kbps 10 pps, TCP SYN Storm
UDP 7.4 Mbps 11000 pps, UDP Unicast Storm
IMPORTANT! The stated threshold limits are the maximum values of a DoS
attack which the PCS Service Suite can withstand without loss of
communication. These threshold limits were evaluated during device
robustness tests which are performed for every ABB product.
The PCS Service Suite never stopped working when flooded with higher
rate of packets, as stated, and are always back in normal operating state
short time after flooding has stopped.
3.4.5 Cyber security disclaimer

This product is designed to be connected to and to communicate
information and data via a network interface. It is Customer's sole
responsibility to provide and continuously ensure a secure
connection between the product and Customer network or any other
network (as the case may be). Customer shall establish and maintain any
appropriate measures (such as but not limited to the installation of
firewalls, application of authentication measures, encryption of data,
installation of anti-virus programs, etc) to protect the product, the
network, its system and the interface against any kind of security
breaches, unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage and/or
theft of data or information. ABB and its affiliates are not liable for
damages and/or losses related to such security breaches, any
unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, leakage and/or theft of data
or information.

3.5 Connection overview

3.5.1 Local connection

For a local connection to the PCS6000 the client PC must be connected to
the Ethernet service port located at the side panel of the CCU.

3.5.2 Remote connection

For a remote connection to the PCS6000 the client PC needs to be
connected to the network in which the PCS6000 is located.
A connection is then established either over Remote Desktop Protocol or
encrypted FTPS.
If a higher security level is required different additional security measures
can be implemented, eg, Soft-to-Soft VPN access to PCS Service Suite,
SSH tunneling of all available services.
For more information about additional security measures contact ABB
converter support line.
3.5.3 Users and Groups

Table 3-7 provides an overview about the different users and groups
existing in the PCS Service Suite.

3.6.5 Time Synchronization

The PCS Service Suite and interconnected AC 800PEC controller are
equipped with an internal real-time clock (RTC) which can be synchronized
to a time source.
An accurate timing is important to facilitate event synchronization and
data correlation in fault recordings. Timing signals from different sources
can be used for clock synchronization in order to share a common
time base.
Table 3-14 shows the different hold-up times for the internal RTC of the
IPC and AC 800PEC controller.
Table 3-14 RTC hold-up times
Device Hold-up time Buffer type

AC 800PEC PP D113 30 days Capacitor
AC 800PEC PP D513 30 days Capacitor
PCS Service Suite R1 10 days Capacitor
PCS Service Suite R2 > 10 years Lithium battery
PCS Service Suite R3 > 10 years Lithium battery
Either the PCS Service Suite or the AC 800PEC controller can access a
timing source and distribute the timing signal to its connected devices.

Table 3-15 shows how different time sources can be accessed

and distributed.
Table 3-15 Distributed real-time clock synchronization
Device Time source Direction Description

In/Out
AC800PEC Fieldbus, OPC In Time signal is distributed from
Server fieldbus master.
IPC NTP, OPC, RTC In / Out IPC receives and distributes time
signal. Time source is either internal
RTC or NTP server.
▲NOTICE
ABB recommends synchronizing the AC 800PEC controller with a timing
signal provided from the overriding control over the fieldbus.
• For the IPC, the network time protocol (NTP) is the most common
method to synchronize to a time source.
• OPC and IPC RTC time synchronization should only be used if no
other method is available or in case the final solution is not
yet active.
To synchronize the AC 800PEC controller with the IPC RTC

1. Connect and log on to Windows with Remote Desktop Connection as
described in “3.6.1 Connect to Windows” on page 27.

3.7.3 Transient Recorder

The Transient Recorder, which is triggered by the AC_800PEC Control SW
during fault events such as short-circuits, records a predefined set of
signals locally in the PCS Service Suite. The binary files, which contain
timestamps in UTC time format, can be downloaded and analyzed by ABB
experts for the quick identification and resolution of faults.
The timestamp contains the time and date of the failure event and
corresponds to the flag in the file.
3.7.3.1 Measurements Overview

The transient recorder stores two different sets of failure recordings:
• ABB exclusive use: TRA, TRB and TRE recording
• Customer use: TRC recording
IMPORTANT! Since the original timestamp of the transient recording is
preserved in the recorder files, copying or moving the files can lead to loss
of the timestamps.
Scaling of the measurements is defined in 1 pu. The pu system is the
expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base
unit quantity.
Scaling of the measurements on the grid side is referenced to the nominal
apparent power of the grid and the nominal transformer voltage.
Scaling of the measurements on the generator side is referenced to the
nominal apparent power of the generator and the nominal
generator voltage.
The following data is available in the customer specific transient
recorder files:

4.5.6.3 Precharge Test
▲ WARNING
⚠
Hazardous voltage!
A firing through due to undervoltage is initiated if the DC link is charged
above ±1500 V and the voltage drops below ±1200 V. The discharge caused
by the VLU does not result in a firing through.
▲NOTICE
Risk of component damage
The transformer can be damaged by overheating during an activated
precharge sequence. If the precharge lockout, which prevents the
overheating, is triggered more then 3 times consecutively within 5
minutes, the precharge sequence is blocked for 10 minutes.
The Control SW continuously recharges the DC-Link to maintain the UDCn
voltage set point in case the voltage drop on the DC-Link is greater than
50 V. This applies until the precharge sequence is turned OFF.
The Precharge test function is used to charge the DC-Link to a

given voltage. Fig. 4-16 shows the precharge display with
forced sequence.
Figure 4-16 Precharge display overview

On the left hand side the Control and State panel are shown. In the middle
section the precharge sequence and sequence controls are located.

04 PCS6000 HMI
To enable the precharge sequence the FORCE SEQ button needs to be

pressed. It is located in the lower left side of the display. Once the
sequence is forced, precharge controls will appear.
A desired voltage level in the range between 0 … 6000 V can be given in
the data entry field UDCn, confirm your input with Enter.
When the button Charge is pressed, the precharge sequence starts
automatically and the DC-Link will be charged positive and negative to the
given value.
When the button OFF is pressed, the precharge sequence will be executed
in reverse order without discharging the DC-Link. To discharge the DC-
Link the VLU can be triggered in the Test Module display under VLU
Control, see “4.5.6.1 AC 800PEC control register” on page 85.
IMPORTANT! UDCn input value means full DC-Link voltage, eg, UDCn input
of 5000 V will charge the DC-Link to +2500 V / -2500 V.
4.5.6.4 Grid Synch Test

The Grid Synch Test is used during commissioning to verify if the AC
output of the converter is exactly synchronized to the grid.
IMPORTANT! Depending on the converter configuration, the grid synch test
must be carried out differently.
Please follow always the commission instruction supplied together with
the PCS6000 when using HMI test functions.
Sequence 1 will perform the transition OFF to STBY without closing the
grid breaker. The oscilloscopically recorded AC voltages can then be
compared and synchronism verified.
Sequence 2 will perform the transition OFF to STBY without pre-
magnetizing the main transformer and filter. The grid side converter pulse
are then released for a time span predefined in milliseconds. The goal is
to refine the grid synchronism verified during sequence 1.

4.5.10.3 Bypass and 3-Way-(2-Way)-Valve Control

The opening level of the bypass can be regulated with various
intermediate steps by selecting the Increase Cooling or Decrease
Cooling button.
The position of the 3-Way-(2-Way)-Valve is indicated with a colored status
indication. Additionally, the end positions of the valve are shown and the
actual operating ratio is displayed in percent.
The shown temperature is the set point temperature which will be
targeted from the automatic cooling control. If the valve is closed, (100%
blue scaling on status indication), the water circulates completely
through the external cooling system.
However, middle position of the valve can be misleading if it has been
forced by the Increase Cooling or Decrease Cooling button before. The
middle positions are displayed correctly only if the control software
operates the cooling system.

In the lower section on the State Machine display the different start
conditions are indicated. Green shaded means start condition OK. Red
shaded means starting condition NOT OK.
Fig. 4-33 shows the turbine charging start conditions pop-up windows for
a 1CL topology, the start conditions GRB1 OPEN and *GRB1 CLOSED are
not fulfilled and would prevent the converter from start up.
Figure 4-33 Turbine charging start conditions

Depending on the active precharging function different start conditions
must be fulfilled to operate the converter.
Precharging functions are:
• Turbine ChargingThe generator is used to charge the converters DC-
Link and to pre-magnetize the main transformer.
• Converter ChargingIf available in the converter configuration, the
precharging module is used to charge the converters DC-Link and to
pre-magnetize the main transformer.
• Grid ChargingThe grid is used to charge the converters DC-Link and
the main transformer will be connected to the grid without
pre-magnetization.
The active precharging function is indicated by the OFF button label which
will change accordingly: OFF (Turbine Charging), OFF to CC (Converter
Charging), OFF to GC (Grid Charging), OFF to Island (Converter Charging).
