Introduction

Use the NOP085_EVTS elementary function block (EFB) to:

  • Manage and synchronize the transfer of external events from an ERT or CRA into the memory of the BMENOP0300 module.

  • Manage the transfer external events between a PLC and the BMENOP0300 module.

Representation in FBD

NOTE:
  • When the timestamped event originates at a Quantum platform, the time stamp is local time (UTC+TimeZone). The BMENOP0300 firmware converts this local time into UTC and includes it in the outgoing report control block. The time zone depends on the BMENOP0300 SNTP configuration in Modicon IEC61850 Configuration Tool.

  • When the timestamped event originates at an M80 platform, the time stamp is UTC time and BMENOP0300 firmware includes it in the outgoing report control block without conversion.

Input Parameters

Input parameter

Type

Description

ENABLE

BOOL

Start transferring

ERT

BYTE

ERT type:

  • 0 = Quantum ERT

  • 1 = Mx80 ERT

EVT

One of the following:

Event description, including value, quality, time stamp, ID, DDT, and IED_EVT_x

RPT

IED RPT

Report information. DDT IED_RPT

TIMEOUT

INT

Time threshold in 100 ms increments for triggering an event (a value greater than 0)

Output Parameters

Output parameter

Type

Description

DONE

BOOL

A value of 1 (true) indicates the function block completed successfully.

ACTIVE

BOOL

A value of 1 (true) indicates execution of the function block is in progress.

ERROR

BOOL

A value of 1 (true) indicates the function block detects an execution error.

STATUS

INT

Identifies the detected error:

  • 1 = Input parameter is not valid.

  • 2 = <Reserved>

  • 3 = Time format is not valid.

    NOTE: Only dates after January 01, 2000 are valid.
  • 4 = time out occurrence (default 10 s)

  • 5 = parameter change during runtime

  • 6 = Data change counter of report is abnormal

    NOTE: This EFB restarts if a time out (4) or abnormal data change counter event (6) occurs.

RPT_BUFF

IED ERT BUF

Raw buffer containing event time stamp entities.
