1 Introduction
CMS is a software package that runs on a PC and is used to configure and interrogate the
RC-10 control cubicle.
CMS can be used in Offline mode or Online mode.
Offline mode means that CMS is not connected to the switchgear device. The user is allowed
to do the following types of work:

editing the database of devices and their settings

preparing and editing the time-current curves (TCC)
analyse device's operating history.

When working in Online mode the RC-10 must be connected to the PC. The connection can
be a local connection i.e. through a standard USB cable connected to the Operator Panel
USB Port or a remote connection.
When Online, the user can:

read and replace the group of protection settings installed in the device
read the device and protocol status
direct control of the device
adjust the device system settings.

Please refer to the OSM user manual for more details.

1.1

Installation

If you are upgrading from CMS 2.0 and above, CMS automatically checks for updates when
you are connected to the internet and will update to the latest release of CMS automatically.
If you have CMS 1.8 and below on your PC, or you are completing a full installation please
refer to the notes below.
Full Installation and Upgrading from CMS 1.8
CMS is based on the Microsoft CE 4.0 SQL database. The installation will install this
database as part of the installation. This database has a maximum permitted size of 4Gb.
The CMS interface requires the Microsoft .NET framework version 4 to be installed. The
installation will check for this component, and install it if required.
The installation will also install the USB driver required to connect CMS to the RC-10 cubicle.
The installation supports both 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows.
Please check which type of operating system is being used on the computer before starting
the installation, and make sure it is supported.

NOJA-559-07
Supported Operating Systems:

Windows XP Service Pack 3

Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8.

The installation can be downloaded from the NOJA Power website www.nojapower.com.au
A username and password will be required to access the download area. This can be
obtained by contacting NOJA Power, or your local NOJA Power distributor.
The installation is provided in two packages:

Upgrade Package
Full Installation Package.

The upgrade package is a smaller size, and only contains the items needed to upgrade an
existing CMS installation.
The full installation package is a larger file and includes all the components required for a full
installation. The full installation package can also be used to upgrade an existing installation.
To start the installation, run the setup.exe file.
For new, full installations, it is recommended that the Automatic Installation option is selected
when the installation starts.
For upgrades, the Automatic option is also recommended, but the Manual option can also be
chosen if you need to install a fresh CMS database rather than upgrade the existing
database.

Figure 72: Switchgear Calibration

6.4

Input Output Configuration

Two optional I/O modules can be installed as an accessory (I/O 1 and I/O 2).

56

NOJA-559-07
The I/O screen is used to enable, disable and configure all inputs and outputs.
The I/O modules can be configured as a Remote or Local user. This means the RC10 must
be in the correct mode before a command can be executed by the I/O module.

Figure 73: I/O Module Configuration Screen

Input Settings
The inputs can be assigned to actions. These are selected from the drop down list next to
each input.
The inputs can be set to trigger on the rising edge (Edge Triggered = Yes) or when the input
voltage is level (Edge Triggered = No).
A recognition Time can be set for each input when Edge Triggered = No. This applies a delay
before activating the configured action.
Output Settings
The outputs are activated in response to events. This can be an activation of a signal, a
SCADA I/O protocol point activation, or the output of a logic expression.
A recognition Time can be set for each output. This applies a delay before activating the
output relay contacts.
A reset time can be applied for each output. This sets a de-activation delay for the relay
contacts after the activating signal has de-activated.
The outputs can be set to operate as a Pulse (Pulse Enable = On). In this case the output is
activated when the condition is active, stays on for the Pulse Time, then deactivates the
output.
If Pulse Enable is set to Off, the output activates when the signal is active and stays on until
the signal de-activates.

57

NOJA-559-07
6.4.1 Relay Input Configuration
The RC-10 has three digital inputs located on the Relay module (Relay Inputs).
The Relay Inputs can be Disabled and Enabled as one unit. Each individual input can be
enabled or disabled.
The three Relay digital inputs can be assigned to actions. These are selected from the drop
down list next to each input.
The Relay Inputs can be configured as a Remote or Local user. This means the RC10 must
be in the correct mode before a command can be executed by the I/O module.
A recognition Time can be set for each input. This applies a delay before activating the
configured action.

Figure 74: Relay Input Configuration

58

NOJA-559-07
6.5

Logic Expressions

Logic expressions can be used to provide extended functionality.

The expressions are evaluated as either true or false, the output result initiates actions,
activates SCADA points or I/O to initiate actions and/or turn on other additional expressions.
The expressions employ logic operators such as or, nor, xor, and, nand, not and ( ) with
other variables such as pickup, open, alarm, closed, status, malfunction or any general
control or indication point.
A logic expression is only evaluated when one of the expressions input signals change state.
Open the Logic window by clicking the Logic button on the Offline Settings menu:

Figure 75: Logic Expression Screen

Set the global logic mode to Enable.

Set the individual logic channel to Enable.
Give the expression a Name this is used to identify expression state changes in the event
log. Events are only registered if Log Enable is set to On.
A logic expression window will be opened when you click inside the Expression field.

59

NOJA-559-07

Figure 76: Logic Expression Window

Logic expressions are created by double clicking operators and signals.

For example, the logic expression in the screen below will close the OSM recloser if it had
previously opened due to a loss of supply (UV3) and voltage has been detected on the ABC
side of the recloser.
[Open(UV3)] AND [P(Uabc>)]
The expression output is set to Close. Therefore, when the expression is True, it will Close
the recloser.
The Set When field is set to Either in this example. This will cause the expression state to
reset back to False whenever the expression changes state.
If you set the Set When field to True or False, then the expression output will latch when
it is Set. It will de-latch when the expression result is no longer True or False.
A recognition Time can be set. This introduces a delay between the expression becoming
True, and the Expression Output being activated.
The Reset Time adds a delay between a reset condition occurring, and the resetting of the
expressions output state.
The expression output can be set to operate as a Pulse (Pulse Enable = On). In this case the
output is set true when the condition is active, stays on for the Pulse Time, then resets to
false.
Please refer to RC10 Relay IO and Logic User Guide for more details.

Power Quality

The RC10 Power Quality System provides monitoring and protection features for power
quality issues such as Harmonics Distortion, Interruptions and Sags and Swells. The
system:

uses the Fast Fourier Transform or FFT algorithm to provide exact values for
the harmonic frequency and its magnitude
captures an oscillogram of the waveform (IEEE COMTRADE format)
captures information for short and long interruptions (IEEE P1159.3 PQDIF
format)
records the number of sags and swells (IEEE P1159.3 PQDIF format).

Data is logged and can be analysed to determine the power quality flowing through the
device using the Power Quality Software (PQS) installed on a PC.
For more details on Power Quality please refer to the OSM user manual.
CMS allows the user to configure Power Quality settings which include: Oscillography,
Harmonics, Interruptions and Sags/Swells.

Figure 80 Power Quality Settings

64

NOJA-559-07
6.8.1 Oscillography
CMS allows the user to configure how the RC-10 captures oscillography data:

Figure 81: Oscillography Settings

Below is a description of the settings:

Setting
Oscillography

Capture Time
Capture Prior to event

Description
Enable/Disable the capture of oscillography data.
Define an event that triggers the capture of oscillography data.
Determines Capture size.
Defines how much data to capture prior to an event. Ranges
from 0 to 80%.

6.8.2 Harmonics
The RC10 controller measures Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Total Demand Distortion
(TDD), Harmonic Current (HRM_I) and Harmonic Voltage (HRM_V) up to the 15th harmonic.
An independent deadband can be defined for each of these as shown below.
A single timer setting for all deadbands is available such that when the harmonic exceeds the
user set deadband for the user set time period, the value at the end of that time period will be
logged.

65

NOJA-559-07

Figure 82: Harmonics Settings

6.8.3 Interruptions
The long and short duration interruption information collected can be used to calculate
System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), System Average Interruption
Frequency Index (SAIFI) and Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI).

The RC10 allows the user to set a duration to determine the difference between a short and
long interruption, and can log all the information relevant to each of these interruptions
separately. If the duration time is set to zero it will capture all interruptions as Long Duration
Interruptions.

Figure 83: Interruptions

66

NOJA-559-07
6.8.4 Sags and Swells
The RC10 records voltage variations for sags and swells occurring outside a user set period
of time. Sag and Swell voltages are based on the phase to ground voltages.
Sags
A voltage Sag occurs when one or more of the 3 phase voltages fall below the Sag Normal
Threshold voltage. The Sag ends when all of the 3 phase voltages are equal to or greater
than the Sag Normal Threshold voltage.

Swells
A voltage Swell begins when one of more of the 3 phase voltages is above the Swell Normal
Threshold voltage and ends when all of the 3 phase voltages are equal to or less than the
Swell Normal Threshold voltage.

End conditions are the event that must be achieved before the simulator moves on to the
next step in the sequence. The values specified in that row will continue to be injected until
the condition is met. Timeout condition is a set time and the setting is in milliseconds.

Figure 109: Sample Simulation

In the above sample simulation, 50 amps is injected for 10 seconds then the simulator will
moves on to the next step. 200 amps is then injected until the OSM moves into the Open
position. The time taken for the OSM to move to open and completion of this step will be
dependent on the selected protection settings of the device.
Care should be taken when programming simulations that realistic situations are created,
otherwise unexpected results may arise. For example, if the OSM switch is open, current
would not pass through the OSM. This is demonstrated in the reclose sequence shown
below. The points at which the OSM is in the open position are boxed in red.
