This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/373,040 filed Jun. 28, 1989, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a display transducer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a display transducer capable of reading data indicative of a power systems performance from a protective relay and intelligently displaying such information in real time in order to monitor and control the power system.
In electrical power systems, fault, status and meter data are used to verify proper operation of the power system, control the system, and to detect transmission line faults. The system parameters typically measured are: phase voltages (Va, Vb, and Vc), phase currents (Ia, Ib, and Ic), line power level (Pa, Pb, and Pc), and reactive power level (Qa, Qb, and Qc). Manual and automatic systems monitor these quantities to control the power system. In the event of a transmission line fault, the experienced operator is required to interpret the monitored information, to trouble shoot the source of the problem, and then take steps to correct it once the source is pinpointed.
A conventional method to provide the aforementioned information is to use a meter, a relay and number of discrete transducers, each of which is capable of providing a particular power system performance measurement. Each transducer requires coupling on-line usually via current or voltage transformers, and provides for converting a power system quantity into particular data for operator display or system control. For example, a voltage transducer is responsible for acquiring line voltage signals from the voltage transformers and converting them into information for display. The meter can be coupled on-line via the instrument transformers to provide voltage, current and power information; alternatively, the meter can monitor transducer output.
A number of problems are associated with using discrete transducers to monitor a power system. The use of discrete devices tends to provide inaccurate monitoring because each device operates at its own reference, and is not standardized with the other transducers. Each transducer's offset may be slightly different than another, and therefore the respective displayed information inherently yields inaccurate results. In addition, each discrete transducer as well as the meter must be individually wired to the power system. This significantly increases the cost, complexity and installation time required to implement a complete monitoring system.
Therefore, an integrated apparatus for acquiring power system information and displaying it as it occurs for transmission line monitoring and verification is needed.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a single unit apparatus which is capable of displaying meter, status and fault information from a protective relay in order to monitor, verify and control operation of the power system.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus connected to a protective relay so as to have access to a power system's performance parameters wherein the apparatus is capable of alerting system operators of faults, meter information, and relay status conditions visually without requiring expertise in communication with the relay.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a display transducer apparatus which connects to a protective digital relay by a single cable and which can produce an analog quantity proportional to system parameters wherein the analog quantity may be selectively scaled to cover a specific range.
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for connection to a protective relay. The apparatus is capable of digitally communicating with the relay. It obtains watt, voltage, current, reactive power, and fault location information in digitized format from the relay. At least some of this information may be selectively displayed, and the information may be selectively converted from a digitized format into an analog signal. The apparatus includes an output for such an analog signal and the functions of the output are selectable. The apparatus also includes means for selectively scaling the output to cover a specified range.
The apparatus of the present invention provides three primary sets of data: fault (including fault location), meter, and status information. The apparatus provides continuous on-line access to digital relays, and alerts personnel to fault and relay status conditions visually. This capability makes the apparatus ideal for monitoring relay functionality and transmission line parameters. The fault, metering, and status data are available for logging at the press of a button, without requiring operator expertise in communicating with the relay. A broad spectrum of analog data acquisition requirements can be met by the apparatus. Practical benefits of the apparatus include installation simplicity, cost effectiveness, and improved reliability. The apparatus also includes contact inputs and outputs to simplify interfacing to control systems.
Additional objects and features of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description and claims when taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic, block diagram representation of the display transducer adapter of the present invention connected to a digital relay which is, in turn, connected to a three phase power system.
FIG. 2 is a view of the rear input panel of the display transducer adapter of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a graphic representation of the scaling of the analog outputs of the display transducer adapter of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram representation of the circuitry of the display transducer adapter of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a view of the front display panel of the display transducer adapter of the present invention.
FIGS. 6A-6E are electrical schematic diagrams illustrating circuitry of the display transducer adapter of the present invention.
Reference is initially made to FIG. 1 which shows a display transducer adapter (DTA) 30, a digital relay 32, a two way communication bus 34, and a three phase power system 36 (lines A, B, C). The DTA 30 is electrically coupled by the communication bus 34, which may be a single electrical cable, to digital relay 32. The relay, in turn, is connected across the lines of three phase power system 36. The DTA 30 provides access to the following relay data: fault, meter, and status information. New faults are captured, stored and displayed by DTA 30 as they occur. Meter information is displayed and continuously updated on demand. Relay self-test failures and other status warnings are automatically displayed with a visual alert, and status information is displayed on demand for logging purposes. This blend of display features permits both transmission line monitoring and verification and relay system functionality at a glance.
The information available from DTA 30 may be displayed automatically or in response to a user request via switches on the front panel of the DTA (see FIG. 5). Some user requests for data require on demand information from relay 32. If the user requests meter data by pressing the appropriate switch on the front panel of the DTA, the DTA requests the data from the relay by sending an appropriate character string, such as METER <CR>, to the relay via the communications link 34 between the DTA and the relay. The requested information is formatted and stored as it is delivered by the relay, and then displayed when complete, as will be discussed in more detail below. Indeed, all fault, meter and status information from the relay are parsed, categorized and stored by DTA 30 as they are generated. These data are then formatted, scaled and delivered to the display, transducer outputs and/or contact outputs of DTA 30, as discussed below.
As shown in FIG. 2, the rear input panel of DTA 30 includes: three serial or communication ports 40, 41 and 42 (Port 1, Port 2 and Port 2A); an analog output 43; six type A relay contacts A1-A6; a type B relay contact for an alarm (ALRM); and two programmable isolator inputs ISO1 and ISO2.
The communications ports provide RS-232-C serial communications interfaces (nine-pin connectors). The serial data format is: 8 data bits, 2 stop bits and no parity. As is known in the art, the baud rates of the ports are set with jumpers which are accessible by removing the top cover (not shown) of DTA 30. Available rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600.
Communications port 40 (Port 1) may be connected to a computer terminal, a CRT and/or modem for changing the analog output scaling and other DTA settings. Port 41 (Port 2) provides links to the relay for communications and D.C. power. It should be connected to the relay automatic message port. Port 42 (Port 2A) may be connected to port 41 via a null modem, and may be utilized for monitoring of port 41 and alternate power supply configurations.
In a local arrangement, all power requirements for DTA 30 are supplied from the relay via a single cable 34. The length of this cable thus must be kept at a minimum. For example, for a wire gauge (AWG) of 18, the maximum cable length is 18 feet. Chart A below provides the maximum cable length for various wire gauges.
CHART A______________________________________Wire Size Maximum Cable Length(AWG) (FEET)______________________________________18 1820 1122 7.024 4.5______________________________________
If DTA 30 must be located at a distance from relay 32, the DTA may be powered by a supplemental power supply via communications port 41, and links to the relay for data are then provided via port 42. Since power is not being drawn from the relay, the cabling to the relay may be quite long, and, indeed, it may be further extended using, for example, a short-haul modem or similar isolating device.
DTA 30 is equipped with eight programmable transducer channels at which an analog output signal is available. These signals are available from the rear panel at analog output 43 in voltage (0-5 v) and current (0-1 mA) form. A separate return to ground is also provided for each channel. These signals may be presented at the rear panel through a female 25-pin "D" connector. For systems requiring screw terminal connections, an optional adapter board may be used, which breaks a female 25-pin "D" connector out into screw terminals. The signals at analog output 43 are assigned pin numbers as shown in Chart B.

Each analog output channel may be preferentially selected by the user as to function, i.e. as to which system parameter is available at which channel. As such, each channel may be selected to be proportional to one of the following: phase-to-phase voltage, phase-to-neutral voltage, phase current, phase-to-phase current, real power, reactive power, or fault location. All permutations of phase quantities are supported. The ranges of all output channels are also independently selectable by the user. The analog outputs are scaled as shown in FIG. 3 where X is any phase, phase-to-phase, or phase-to-neutral quantity, real or reactive power, or fault location. As noted, the dedication of transducer channels to meter quantities and the scaled range are user settable parameters. The versatility afforded by the features allows utilization of the DTA in a wide range of data acquisition and metering applications, reducing or eliminating entirely the need for discrete transducers.
The outputs of the six type A relay contacts A1-A6 indicate fault conditions and acknowledge reset commands. The additional type B relay contact ALRM is provided to indicate a self-test failure or other alarm condition. All contact outputs are dedicated and are not programmable. The contact assignments and signal descriptions are as shown in Chart C:

Relay contacts A1-A5 reflect new fault information. Contact outputs A1-A4 indicate the involved phases, and contact A5 indicates that at least one phase is involved. Contacts A1-A5 open in response to either of two conditions:
(1) An assertion of the RESET isolator input (discussed below) clears contacts A1-A5 immediately, and causes contact A6 (RST ACK) output to be triggered. The RST ACK signal is valuable for interfacing to instruments requiring verification of proper device operation.
(2) If, after a suitable interval, no RESET input assertion is detected, contacts A1-A5 reset automatically, and the RST ACK output is triggered.
A suitable time interval (LOCK) controls updating of contact outputs A1-A5 and any analog outputs dedicated to fault location. During LOCK seconds after a fault, the outputs are not affected by subsequent faults. This feature may be used to avoid replacement of accurate fault information by less accurate data (as may occur during reclosing operations). When triggered, the RST ACK output closes for one minute. During this interval, the output is retriggerable, and remains closed for one minute after the most recent retriggering.
The programmable isolator inputs ISO1 and ISO2 are provided for control of transducer and contact output data from a remote system. ISO1, the RESET input, clears any analog channels set to indicate fault location, and clears contact outputs A1-A5. After the output quantities are cleared, the RST ACK contact output A6 is triggered. This input is rising-edge sensitive. ISO2 may be reserved for future applications.
The main components of the circuitry of DTA 30 is shown in FIG. 4 in block diagram format. As discussed above, they include: serial ports 40-42, contact inputs ISO1 and ISO2, analog outputs 43, and relay outputs A1-A6 and ALRM. A display module 52 (see also FIG. 5) is provided for the display of information. A microprocessor, such as a Motorola MC6809, controls the operation of DTA 30. The circuitry also includes a random-access memory (RAM) 46, a read-only memory (ROM) 47, and an electrically-erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM) 48. The RAM 46 retains variables used in data processing and computations, while ROM 47 stores the program executed by the microprocessor. EEPROM 48 is utilized to save settings such as those listed in Appendix A, discussed below. The data from the digital relay are read, parsed, categorized, stored, formatted, scaled, and delivered, according to the program stored in ROM 47 while those data are being held in RAM 46. Settings saved in EEPROM 48 effect the scaling and other functions as shown in Appendix A.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the front panel 50 is arranged to provide the system operator with: fault, meter, and status information on demand. The front panel 50 includes: a liquid crystal display 52 for displaying information; a scroll down button 53 and a scroll up button 54 for scrolling up and down the information displayed on display 52; a fault select switch 55 for displaying fault information on display 52; a meter select switch 56 for displaying meter information on display 52; and a status select switch 58 for displaying status information on display 52. In addition, a clear select switch 60 is provided to clear the information displayed on display 52.
Display 52 is preferably a two-line, forty column, high contrast display. As noted, display modes and scrolling are controlled with the front panel switches. A switch is asserted by toggling upward until it clicks. The "scroll" switches 53 and 54 repeat if held in the asserted state. Faults, meter and status information displays are described below.
The FAULTS mode, i.e. display of fault information, may be entered in two ways: (1) pressing the faults switch 55; or (2) new faults reported by the relay 32 preempt all other display modes and place DTA 30 in the FAULTS mode. Assertion of faults switch 55 allows viewing of the latest thirty validated faults as reported to DTA 30 by relay 32. The most recent two faults are the first displayed. If no faults have been captured since power up, the message "FAULT HISTORY EMPTY" is displayed.
Faults are numbered sequentially from the newest to the oldest; the most recent fault is assigned the number "1", with previous faults discarded as the fault history exceeds thirty lines in length. The contents of the display are determined by the position of the display window 57 within the thirty fault history. Chart D below illustrates an example fault history, with the display window positioned to include the two most recent faults (as if the mode was just recently entered). As shown by Chart D, the display shows for each fault: the fault number (01), the date (01/02/88) and time (22:31:51.812) of the fault, the type of fault (1BG (line B to ground)), and the fault location (74.58 (miles)).
A single assertion of the scroll down switch 53 changes the display window position. Thus, pressing scroll down switch 53 will cause the information pertaining to faults 2 and 3 to be displayed. Any two faults in the thirty fault history may be viewed using the "scroll up" and "scroll down" switches 53 and 54 in this manner.
When a fault report is sent to DTA 30 from relay 32, it is first checked against a settable fault location window (see the below discussion of the SET command). If the fault lies within the window, the currently active display mode is preempted, and the DTA enters the FAULT's mode automatically. DTA 30 indicates the receipt of the new fault by annexing the line "NEW FAULT" to the top of the fault list in blinking characters, and the information pertaining to that fault is displayed.
If any transducer outputs (analog output 43) are programmed to present the faults location, these channels will be updated according to the rules outlined below in the discussion of the SET command. The contact outputs A1-A6 also reflect fault information.
Pressing any active front-panel control acknowledges the fault, after which the faults mode functions as previously described. If both new fault(s) and relay status warnings exist and are acknowledged, the new fault line is modified to read: "NEW FAULT RELAY STATUS WARNING".
The DTA 30 remains in the FAULTS mode of operation until another display mode is selected. Also, if all new faults have been acknowledged, the FAULTS mode may be preempted by the status mode via detection of a relay status warning.
The METER mode, i.e. display of meter information, is activated by assertion of the meter switch 56. In this mode of operation, display 52 contains the information shown in Chart E.
As shown, the top display line contains the letter "V", indicating that the next three display fields contain voltage data. The first field accommodates the rms voltage Vab (233.1), the second field contains the rms voltage Vbc (232.8), and the third field shows the rms voltage Vca (232.9). The top display line also contains the letter "P", identifying the final field as real power (350.9). The bottom display line contains the letter "I", indicating that the next three display fields contain current data. The first field accommodates the rms current Ia (994.0); the second field contains the rms current Ib (995.0); the third field shows the rms current Ic (994.0). The bottom display also contains the letter "Q" for displaying the reactive power (67.8).
The DTA 30 remains in the METER mode of operation until a new fault is reported. The mode is exited manually by assertion of clear switch 60, or another display mode is activated by assertion of the corresponding control. Additionally, the METER mode may be preempted by the STATUS mode via detection of a relay status warning. The scroll controls 53 and 54 are not operative while in the METER mode.
While in the METER mode, display 52 will be updated with new data approximately every five seconds. The analog output channels 43 (FIG. 2) are continuously updated about every five seconds, regardless of display mode.
The STATUS mode, display of status information, may be entered in two ways: (1) pressing the status control 58; or (2) detection of a relay status warning may preempt certain modes in favor of the STATUS mode under appropriate conditions.
When status switch 58 is pressed, the status of the relay is interrogated and the received status message is displayed as shown in Chart F. The scroll controls 53 and 54 may be used to view any two lines of the message.
CHART F______________________________________DATE: 01/04/87 TIME: 08:50:30OFFSET IP = 0 mV______________________________________
Upon receipt of a relay status report, DTA 30 determines if the immediate mode may be preempted in its current state. If so, the STATUS mode is entered, with the line "RELAY STATUS WARNING" in blinking characters annexed to the beginning of the message. Assertion of any operative front-panel control acknowledges the condition, after which the STATUS mode functions as previously defined.
The STATUS mode is exited automatically when a fault report is received, and may be exited manually by pressing the "clear", "meter", or "faults" switches 60, 56 or 55.
The STANDBY mode may be entered by pressing clear switch 60, and may be identified by the following display message: "SEL-DTA DISPLAY/TRANSDUCER ADAPTER".
The DTA 30 remains in this mode until (1) an active display mode is selected by assertion of an operative front-panel switch; (2) a relay status message is received; or (3) a fault is reported to the DTA by the relay. While in this mode, only the "faults", "meter", "status", and "clear" switches 55, 56, 58, and 60 are operative.
The function of clear switch 60 depends upon the mode of the DTA. If the DTA is in any mode other than STANDBY, the mode is changed to STANDBY. If the DTA is already in STANDBY mode, the following operations occur: (1) the display module is tested for proper operation; if this test fails, an automatic status message is sent to port 40 (see FIG. 2); (2) while asserted, all elements of the display are actuated, allowing visual verification of proper display operation; and (3) upon release, the display is cleared and the DTA is returned to the STANDBY mode of operation.
DTA 30 also runs an assortment of self-tests that ensure reliable operation. Any change in self-test status results in the generation of a status report. All self-tests are run on power-up and after using the setting procedure. Afterwards, all self-tests except the display test are run at least every few minutes.
The RAM 46 (see FIG. 4) is periodically checked to ensure that each byte can be written to and read from correctly. There is no warning state for this test. If a problem is detected, a STATUS message is transmitted to port 40 which contains the socket designation of the affected RAM IC. ROM 47 is periodically tested by computing a checksum. If the computed value does not agree with the stored value, a ROM failure is declared. The STATUS message is also transmitted to port 40. Two images of the system settings are stored in nonvolatile memory. These are compared when the DTA is initially set, and periodically thereafter. Should the images ever disagree, the setting test fails and a STATUS message is transmitted to port 40. The display module 52 is tested when the instrument is powered up, and as described in the discussion of the STANDBY mode. If a display module failure is detected, the DTA sends an automatic status message to port 40.
The communications protocol utilizes both hardware and software attributes. The hardware protocol is implemented in the control line functions RTS and CTS. A software protocol designed for manual and automatic communications is also provided. The elements of this protocol are discussed below. All commands received by DTA 30 must be of the form: <command><CR> or <command><CRLF>. Thus, a command transmitted to DTA 30 should consist of the command name, followed by either a carriage return or a carriage return and a line feed. (To use any command, only the first three characters need to be typed. Character case is not relevant.) All messages transmitted by DTA 30 are of the following format:
That is, each message begins with the start-of-transmission character (ASCII 02), and ends with the end-of-transmission character (ASCII 03), and each line of the transmission is terminated by a carriage return and a line feed.
DTA 30 indicates the volume of data in its receive-data buffer (part of RAM 46) using an XON/XOFF protocol. When this buffer drops below 1/4 full, the DTA 30 transmits XON (ASCII hex 11) and asserts the RTS output. When the buffer fills above 3/4 of capacity, the DTA transmits XOFF (ASCII hex 13). If the buffer reaches 95% full, the DTA unasserts the RTS output. Transmitting sources should monitor for the XOFF character to prevent overwriting of the DTA input buffer (part of RAM 46). Transmission should terminate at the end of the message being transmitted when XOFF is received and may be resumed when the XON character is received.
An XON/XOFF procedure may be used to control data transmission by DTA 30. When the DTA receives XOFF while transmitting, it responds by pausing until an XON character is received. If no message is being transmitted when XOFF is received, the DTA blocks transmission of any message that may be presented to its transmitting buffer (part of RAM 46). The message will be transmitted when the XON character is received. The CAN character (ASCII hex 18), received at any time, aborts a pending transmission. This is useful in terminating an unwanted transmission. The control characters can be sent from most keyboards using the following keystrokes:
XON: control-Q (hold down the control key, and press Q)
XOFF: control-S (hold down the control key, and press S)
CAN: control-X (hold down the control key, and press X)
When the power is first turned on, the DTA 30 is in Access Level 0, and honors only the ACCESS command. "Invalid command" or "Invalid access level" are the responses to any other entries. All commands except those that change settings are available at Access Level 1. Setting changes may be made only at Access Level 2. When power is first applied, the instrument transmits the following message to port 40: "SEL-DTA Display/Transducer Adapter Date: mm/dd/yy Time: hh/mm/ss SEL-DTA". Commands consist of three or more characters. Only the first three characters of any command need be entered. Character case is not relevant for commands. For passwords, however, case is important. Items in square brackets [. . . ] are optional. Arguments must be separated from the command by spaces, commas, semicolons, colons, or slashes. Commands may be entered any time after an appropriate prompt is received. Commands are entered through port 40 (See FIG. 2), to set the DTA. A computer terminal need not remain connected to the port. The commands available at various access levels are discussed below.
ACCESS is used to gain access to the system. The DTA 30 prompts for a Level 1 password before granting access. If three unsuccessful password entry attempts are made in a row, the alarm contact is pulsed closed for one second. If the alarm is connected to a monitoring system, such as Substation System Control and Data Acquisition ("SCADA"), this feature can be used to alert operations personnel that possible unauthorized access is being attempted.
Use 2ACCESS to gain access to Level 2 from Level 1. After entering 2ACCESS<CR>, a prompt for the Level 2 password appears. The alarm contact is pulsed closed for one second for any Level 2 access attempt, successful or otherwise.
To read the date kept by the internal calendar/clock, type DATE<CR>. To set the date, type DATE mm/dd/yy <CR>.
Executing the QUIT command returns control to Access Level 0 from either Access Level 1 or 2, and displays the instrument identification, and the date and time when QUIT is executed. This command is utilized when communications with DTA 30 are completed, so that unauthorized access is avoided.
Enter SHOWSET to inspect the settings of the DTA. The commands display shows the settings presently set. The settings cannot be modified with this command. The settings are entered using the SET command under Access Level 2.
Inspect the self-test status of the DTA using the STATUS command. The DTA also automatically executes the STATUS command whenever a self-test enters a warning or a failure state, causing the STATUS report to be transmitted out of serial communications port 40.
To read the internal clock enter TIME <CR>. To set the clock enter TIME followed by the desired setting. A quartz crystal oscillator provides the time base for the internal clock.
To inspect the passwords, enter PASSWORD <CR>. To change a password, provide the access level and new password.
The setting procedure consists of answering prompting messages with new data, or indicating no change by simply responding with <CR>. Once all data are provided, the new settings are displayed, and a prompt issued requesting approval to enable DTA 30 with the new settings. Error messages indicate when the entered data are out of range. An example SET command display follows and is shown in attached Appendix A.
The TIME1 setting controls the timeout interval of communications port 40 (see FIG. 2). LOCK specifies the time after a fault during which analog and contact output changes will be suppressed. If, for example, a fault was immediately followed by two reclose faults within 4.167 seconds, only the first fault would affect the analog and contact outputs (given the example LOCK setting of 1000 quarter cycles). The RESET setting controls the amount of time after a fault at which the analog and contact outputs will automatically reset. The example setting tells DTA 30 to wait for two minutes before resetting the outputs. A setting of 0 specifies no automatic reset.
Settings MINW and MAXW specify the fault location window. Faults with locations outside this window will be ignored by DTA 30. For example settings, a fault with a location of 75.34 miles would be captured, stored, displayed, and presented at the contact and analog outputs. A reverse fault with location -34.45 miles would not be processed by the DTA; all outputs would be unaffected.
Settings QUA1-QUA8 control the class of data appearing at the transducer outputs. Available quantities are voltages, currents, watts, vars, and fault location. In the example setting (see Appendix A), QUA1 is set to "VAB", indicating that transducer channel 1 will reflect the voltage as measured from phase A to phase B.
Settings MIN1-MIN8 and MAX1-MAX8 reflect the measured quantities corresponding to 0 V (0 mA) and 5 V (1 mA), respectively. Values falling within the set range for a channel are scaled according to the equations: ##EQU1##
For example, using the example settings and a measured value VAB of 231.2 kV, the output quantities for analog channel 1 would be: ##EQU2##
An electrical schematic diagram of circuitry that may be utilized in DTA 30 is illustrated in FIGS. 6A-6E. As shown in FIG. 6A, the circuitry includes microprocessor 45 (see also FIG. 4) connected in circuit with RAM 46, ROM 47 and EEPROM 48. As shown, the RAM 46 may be implemented by means of high and low RAMS, and the ROM 47 by an EPROM. These circuit elements parse, categorize and store the fault, meter and status information received from relay 32. This information is also available for display at display module 52 (see also FIG. 5). As noted, quartz crystal oscillator 62 provides the time base.
As shown in FIG. 6B, communication to the circuitry from, e.g. a computer terminal, is provided by means of Port 1 (see also FIG. 2). And as also discussed, Port 2 provides links to relay 32 for communications and power. Port 2A provides the link to relay 32 if a supplemental power supply is required. Low-energy, low voltage metal oxide varistors (MOVs) 64 and passive RC filters 66 are provided to protect the communication circuits. Switches S1-S6 correspond to switches 53-56, 58 and 60 on the front panel of DTA 30 (see FIG. 5).
FIGS. 6C and 6D illustrate the analog output 43. A digital-to-analog converter 68 is included in this portion of the circuitry for converting the digitized information into analog signals. The SET command is provided for programming or selecting the particular function or parameter available at a selected analog output or channel. The ranges of these outputs may be selectively set by this method. The SET command is part of the program stored in ROM 47. When the operator uses the SET command, microprocessor 45 accepts his configuration for the accepted quantities and ranges, and stores them in EEPROM 48. A surge network 70 (FIG. 6D) is provided for protecting the circuit elements.
FIG. 6E shows relay contacts A1-A6 and ALRM (see also FIG. 2). Isolator inputs ISO1 and ISO2 are also shown.
DTA 30 offers a simple and economical on-line interface to a protective relay. Additionally, the programmable current and voltage transducers (analog outputs) permit integration of data acquisition and relaying capabilities, resulting in substantial cost and complexity savings over discrete systems employing conventional transducers. As discussed, new fault information and analog channel control are provided via relay contact outputs and isolator inputs, allowing easy interface to power system monitoring control equipment, such as SCADA systems. Additionally, for most applications, a single cable connection to the relay serial port satisfies all power and data requirements.
Although certain embodiments of the invention have been described herein in detail, the invention is not to be limited only to such embodiments, but rather only by the appended claims.

In an effort to make library shelves easier for patrons to access and navigate, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library has been working on a project to remove selected duplicate copies of books from the collection. Lists of duplicate materials in each call number section have been reviewed and approved by appropriate faculty liaisons. At least one copy of each item still remains in the library - only titles with more than one copy were reviewed and eligible for discard. Different editions of the same title were not considered duplicate copies. Books approved for discard have been removed from the shelf and placed in a storage area on the Lower Level of the library.
At this time faculty are invited to take withdrawn books to add to their own personal libraries. Books are still being pulled from the shelves so the stock of available books will change daily. Books will be available for faculty to take until Sunday June 30, 2013.
If you would like to see what has been removed from the shelves and take items home with you, go to the Periodicals Desk on the Lower Level with your faculty ID during regular library hours. Periodicals Staff will show you where the withdrawn books are being stored.
Please note: we will not be providing boxes, bags or carts so be sure to bring reusable bags to take home your selections.
The list of call numbers below will be updated weekly to reflect what sections are available.
All call number sections have been completed.

The location is beautiful, if difficult to reach, but the staff, particularly the restuarant wait staff, were simply wonderful. Honestly, there is nothing not to love about this hotel. I look forward to returning.
The hotel is about 5 kms out of Mittersill, along a track and beautifully set on a ridge. Everything was snow covered when we were there, and the track a bit icy, but a snow-plough was out 'first thing'. Our room was ultra modern and comfortable with good cupboard space and appointments. The restaurant was good with wholesome and hearty food and a great breakfast. Had a nice rural feel to it - with a rural smell in the air. Great for a town getaway. The bathroom/toilet was modern and functional, a glass cubicle which was a little disconcerting when ascending to the throne!! My wife sleeps in and I do not, so I couldn't retreat to the loo to do my reading!!
Me and my husband have found the staff very friendly. Our room was always kept clean.We could enjoy our breakfast outside at the terrace if we wanted Breakfast was delicious. Home made jams was very jummy :-). The hotel is situated in a very quiet location with a perfect view at the snowy mountains in summer.
Wow, this hotel was a highlight of our trip in terms of overall value. Everything was so fresh it looked like we were the first people to stay there. The rates were very reasonable for the amount of space and the views over the valley below and mountains beyond were fantastic. The staff was friendly and accomodating. No complaints to speak of, though this is setup as apartments so bring your own soap and shampoo as they are not provided. Also, breakfast is available in the building but you'll have to drive to Mittersill (~5-10 min) for other meals unless you prepare them yourself.
We do like the location and the apartments . We wish to thank the owners .
every thing was nice , realy we will go again in febreary .
The owners are on site and very welcoming, they offered a free evening snack to the guests. The apartments are spacious and clean and include an infra red cabin. The mountain views from our apartment were wonderful. It is an ideal place to relax and make either cultural visits, mountain hikes (the Krimml Waterfalls are very close), ski (in winter) etc. Perhaps a sofa in the living/dining area would help relaxing in the evenings easier. However, this is minor and wasn't an issue
We had a delicious breakfast outside on the terrace with a wonderful view of the Alps across the valley.

Cisco Network Certificates
The CCNA qualification has recently been devised by CISCO and stands for Cisco Accredited Network Associate. With the new 200-120 CCNA Redirecting and Switching curriculum, Carbonilla has made some much needed changes to steer test away from subject areas protected consist of CCNA certification (e. g, wireless, security) and focus more on the routing and transitioning technologies.
The Voice trail covers advanced matters in subjects such as Top quality of Service, MGCP, Call up Manager (Cisco's VoIP PBX ), Cisco Unity Interconnection (Cisco's Voice Messaging platform), Unity Express, Unified Call Center Express, Cisco Single Presence Server, Cisco's HWIC-4ESW, and the 3750-24PS.
To organize for this ccna 2 final exam answers from ccna exam questions and answers, the CCNA Routing and Switching accreditation will not only prepare you with the knowledge of foundational technologies but ensure you stay relevant with skill sets required for the re-homing of lastest technologies.
CNSS/NSA 4011: Cisco CCNA Secureness and Cisco CCNA training meet the CNSS training standard as outlined by the data Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professional Recognition, the State Security Agency (NSA), and the Committee on Domestic Burglar alarms.
If you're a visual learner (or perhaps you enjoy video learning addition to reading a book) the CCNA R/S Complete Video Course I actually created three years back continues to hold it is position as the quantity one title (including both books and videos) on Safari Books Online, and it's still incredibly valuable for your CCNA prep.

Figure skating on a roll at Pan Am Games
By Steve Keating
TORONTO (Reuters) - When Courtney Donovan arrived for her Pan American Games roller
figure skating short program and saw people in the stands an hour before the competition she was sure they were lost.
It was an understandable reaction for an athlete who has spent her entire competitive career in virtual obscurity, performing in dark suburban roller arenas in front of a few dozen spectators rather than the standing room only crowd that filled the venue on Sunday to a cheer her sixth place finish.
"When I saw people sitting down an hour before we started skating I knew it was going to be something big," the American said. "I was shocked people were sitting down before I skated, people are sitting down to watch us...oh my gosh.
"That was probably the biggest crowd I have ever skated in front of before in my life.
"A regular competition for me would basically be in a regular roller rink and the crowd might be maybe 20-25 at most.
"We never skate in a big venue like this. The Pan American Games, this is like our Olympics."
The Pan Am Games is as big as it gets for the roller figure skaters, who get to march in opening and closing ceremonies alongside 7,000 other athletes, live in the village and soak up a facsimile of the Olympic experience that for the moment remains a distant dream. Continued...

Washington, Sept 23 : Aspirin has been shown to prevent atherosclerosis, however, the mechanisms of action have remain a mystery. Now, a research team led by an Indian origin scientist has uncovered the system that prevents plaque build-up in arteries.
Previous animal studies have shown that aspirin may protect against atherosclerosis.
To reach the conclusion, researcher Sampath Parthasarathy conducted the study using mouse model and cultured cells.
They found that aspirin -specifically its active byproduct salicylate- can greatly increase the expression of two proteins: paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)
However, low dose aspirin supplements could increase PON1 and ApoA1 levels by 7- and 12- fold, respectively.
Both of these proteins are beneficial components of the HDL complex, the "good cholesterol" that helps prevent atherosclerosis
ApoA1 removes bad cholesterol from the bloodstream while PON1 is an antioxidant that breaks down toxic lipid peroxides.
The study has been published online in the October issue of Journal of Lipid Research.

SPT-ARM Protocol Translator/Data Concentrator
Applied Systems Engineering, Inc.'s SPT-ARM is a Protocol Translator and Data Concentrator product with one network channel, four serial channels, and a large software library of RTU/IED communication protocols. It provides cost-effective support for a wide array of protocol and data transport applications common in the SCADA industry.
Applications supported include operating as a data concentrator, translating one protocol to another, adding dual-port capability to an otherwise single-ported device, providing network access to serial-only equipment, and transporting legacy bit-protocols over a frame relay, or similar network.
Designed for operation in a substation environment, the device does not contain disk drives. It operates on input power of 24 to 160 VDC or 110/120 VAC. The serial communication interface supports speeds up to 56 KB for byte protocols and 9600 baud for bit protocols. The Ethernet port supports 10Base-T operation.
Support is available for a large number of serial protocols, including present-day ones such as DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-101, as well as legacy "bit" protocols such as Conitel and CDC. The Ethernet channel can be configured for DNP 3 LAN/WAN, Modbus/TCP, and IEC 60870-5-104. Support of both master/host and remote/slave operations are available for all protocols. Each communication port, serial or network, can be configured for a different protocol as well as for master or remote operations.
SPT-ARM's software protocol translation "engine" is based on ASE's protocol library product, a set of field-proven routines that process the protocol unique aspects of data communication messages. The hardware design is based on ASE's field-proven BCOM8-56K PCI-bus I/O board: a processor based, 8-channel, high-speed, serial communications device used by several SCADA companies as well as other ASE products.
The SPT-ARM Configuration Editor is a graphical based tool for easy and convenient generation of configuration files used by the SPT-ARM Application. Device, and point configuration information is specified through this Windows based utility program and downloaded through the SPT-ARM configuration and maintenance port, or through a network connection.
The configuration editor employs standard Windows procedures. An entire data base configuration can be entered and running within a few minutes. Changes to an active database can be downloaded and activated in seconds to minimize the entire configuration test and development process.
During on-line operation, point data and communication statistics are accessible through a standard web browser. More detailed diagnostic and program status information are available through the configuration utility. This can provide valuable information during the initial installation stage, as well as a useful tool for on-going maintenance.
Key features of the SPT-ARM are presented in the following table:
|Four RS-232 ports, one of which can be used for RS-485 operation.
|10/100 Base-T Ethernet port
|Separate configuration and maintenance port

|SPT-ARM-I (with enclosure)
10.25 in. Wide x 7.5 in. Deep x 2.7 in. High
An evaluation package, including the Configuration Editor and SPT-ARM Application software for use under Windows, is available. Please contact Applied Systems Engineering for more details.
Protocol Support
Available protocols include DNP 3.0 (serial and LAN/WAN), IEC 60870-5-101, and IEC 60870-5-104, in addition to many legacy ones such as Conitel, CDC 1 and 2, Telegyr 8979, Harris 5000/6000, and RP570. Click Here for a full list.

MF Global Holdings Ltd.'s bankruptcy has all but shut down the company's Canadian division, leaving its employees in limbo and its clients' accounts entangled in a legal quagmire.
Late Tuesday, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) formally suspended the commodities and derivatives broker's membership and trading privileges, after the company confirmed that its capital position had fallen below regulatory requirements. As a result, MF Global Canada can no longer execute any new orders, although the IIROC decision does allow the firm to liquidate existing client positions "in order to facilitate the orderly transfer of client accounts."
However, sources at MF Global Canada said that, in practice, it has been virtually impossible for them to unwind clients' accounts because of the tight rein imposed by regulators on both sides of the border on transactions by MF Global. All trades must be executed by calling a single phone number at MF Global's U.S. offices – and the line was so overloaded that by midday Wednesday, it had to be shut down, making it impossible for any client liquidation orders to go through.
"So we're frozen here," one source said. "I don't know what to tell clients any more."
While MF Global Canada officials did not respond for calls for comment, sources said the Canadian operation's troubles are unrelated to the in-house "proprietary" trading that sank its U.S. parent, since MF Global Canada only trades an behalf of clients. Rather, its problems lie in how its clients' trading accounts are managed by the U.S. parent.
The money clients have deposited with MF Global Canada is held in a Canadian segregated account with Royal Bank of Canada, but funds are transferred to an "omnibus" account at Bank of New York to process actual trades and to secure margin requirements. That account is now tied up in MF Global Holdings' bankruptcy process, with MF Global Canada unable to access it until the bankruptcy trustee determines to whom the money belongs and authorizes the release of the funds.
Without access to that money, sources said, MF Global Canada's capital position fell below requirements, prompting IIROC's suspension order.
The trustee, law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed, said Wednesday that it is trying to figure out how to free up client money so it can be transferred to accounts at other brokerage firms, but gave no timetable for when it might be able to do that. Any plan from the trustee would need court approval.
Clients' existing holdings are safe, since the derivatives contracts they hold are in their own names. However, with MF Global Canada unable to execute even liquidation or "offsetting" trades to cancel out clients' existing positions, the clients can't do anything about price swings in the market that could be unfavourable to their holdings.
MF Global Canada has about 50 employees, operating out of trading offices in Toronto and Montreal. IIROC officials have moved into those offices and are largely overseeing its operations. Some employees have already left the company, while others await word about whether their jobs will survive.
"People have boxes at their desks, [preparing]to leave," one employee said.Report Typo/Error

Hi, thank you for your quick reply. I don't necessarily print whatever it is that I'm downloading; I save it to an online drive and doc cloud for easy access from whatever device I'm using. If the need arises I can go ahead and print a copy. But it's really just about the accessibility.

Zócalo in San Francisco: Is Civility Overrated?
After Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Tucson, pundits spent extensive time wringing their hands over the lack of civility in American political discourse. While some American elected officials have left political life because of its nastiness, historians say that American dialogue has long been uncivil, even during periods of great cohesion. And some studies suggest that hyper-partisanship is linked to greater participation in civic life. So exactly how important is civility to citizen engagement and effective democracy? Dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley Henry Brady, the Institute for Civility in Government's Cassandra Dahnke, Arizona State University communications and performance scholar Jennifer Linde, and economist and anthropologist Meenakshi Chakraverti, who leads the Public Conversations Project in San Diego, visit Zócalo to discuss whether it's better for democracy if Americans are cordial or fighting like cats and dogs.
This event is part of our Searching for Democracy initiative, and is produced in partnership with Zócalo Public Square. Click here to read the takeaway.

Sox put Andrew Bailey on 15-day disabled list
Credit: Christopher Evans
Andrew Bailey has proven two things throughout his five seasons in the majors:
1. When he's on the mound, he's an effective closer.
2. He isn't on the mound nearly enough.
Bailey is back on the 15-day disabled list after an MRI exam revealed inflammation in his right biceps, although there isn't any structural damage. The Red Sox made the move retroactive to April 29, which would leave him eligible to be activated before next Tuesday night's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"One of my personal goals is to stay healthy. I've told you that a thousand times," Bailey said. "A 15-day stint isn't great, but it's a little blip on the radar."
Bailey, who took over as closer when Joel Hanrahan went on the disabled list last month, compiled a 1.46 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 12.1 innings. He said he will be shut down from throwing for at least the next two days.
In Bailey's absence, Hanrahan will fill the closer role, according to Sox manager John Farrell.
"Knowing I just strained that bicep, I guess it's peace of mind," Bailey said. "But it is what we thought it was and we'll just go from there. For me just a couple days of rest, get back throwing and hopefully it's not too far away. Hopefully it'll be a week and I know we can backdate and all that stuff, so hopefully it's not too long."
Lefty reliever Craig Breslow has been activated from the disabled list to take Bailey's spot. Breslow was slowed in spring training by shoulder soreness.

Swiss or Swede?
oops my bad. Lindholm is swede. Anyway, I think Brunner is the best FA available.
I found out today that Khudobin was born in modern day Kazakhstan, but when he was born Kazakhstan was part of the USSR, so technically he is Russian.
Pitkanen, Ruutu, Oskar Osala, Rasmus Rissanen, and Tommi Kivisto are Finish
Tlusty and Michal Jordan are from the Czech Republic
Semin and Evgenii Dadonov are from Russia
Sekera is from Slovakia
Lindholm, Rask, and Karlsson are from Sweden
Hofmann is from Switzerland
Everyone else is either American or Canadian.

There was a rumor that Jaromir Jagr was spotted in Raleigh today.
I don't see Jagr offering much here. He was terrible in the playoffs.
I'm not really big on him either, there is only so much a 41 year old is going to be able to give you.
He's a top 20 player in NHL history, but unless he's on the third line; he's not offering much.
Jagr would make perfect sense on the third line with Lindholm. He played decent in the playoff's he just didn't get the stats to go with it, he was around the puck making plays and getting scoring chances, just didn't capitalize on them.
Posted July 8, 2013
Tlusty - E.Staal - Semin
Skinner - J.Staal - Ruutu
Rask - Lindholm - Jagr
Doesn't look bad...
Posted July 9, 2013
Ecklund from Hockey Buzz says the Hurricanes are the leaders for Jagr right now.
Yeah but thats Hockey Buzz...

Before starting the discussion about Easy Ways to Accelerate IDM for more Faster and Stable, I will tell you something about IDM. We know that there are many download tools but IDM is the most popular application. There are millions computer users who are using IDM in their computer or laptop to download files from Internet. This software is able to accelerate the process of downloading files up to 5 times faster than default browser or other download tools. By using IDM full version , you can download any file from the Internet such as documents, photos, videos, movies, archive files, music and other types forth.

How to Accelerate IDM Easily:
Actually, by default IDM been able to make the download faster by up to 5 times, but so you can make the IDM become faster and speeding by following a few tricks how to accelerate the IDM that I will share today, there are several ways you can do and IDM apply to you have, are as follows.
# Speed with IDM optimizer 2016:
How to speed up idm The first is to use the help of IDM software optimizer program which is smaller and lighter yet able to speed up the process by doing tweak IDM download automatically from the default settings that exist in Internet download manager, please follow the following way.
- Download IDM Recent Optimizer
- Run the IDM Optimizer
- Click the button optimize IDM
- Wait until a successful optimization IDM
- Click OK and finish
IDM optimizer 2016 will change the default settings in IDM and it will make the download process more faster.
# Accelerate IDM by changing settings:
The second way to speed up in IDM that you can make changes to the settings default IDM be able to download files faster than usual. This search is able to make faster and more stable IDM.
- Please open IDM
- Select a menu option with a picture of two pieces of gear

- Checklist on download limit
- At downloaded no more than 200 to 2000
- Then save it by clicking OK
By changing the max conn number 16 means, you give the order for the IDM sending the request as many as 16 connections or split downloaded files into 16 parts and download them simultaneously. It will certainly make the download process to be faster than using 8 connections only.
# Accelerate IDM with the Registry Editor:
You can also make faster and speed download in IDM by making changes to the registry editor, alter or change the settings in the registry that can be optimized IDM download speed.

- Click OK
You can try this system to increase more speed on IDM that you have
# Accelerate IDM by Proxy:
A proxy is an intermediary network of client requests to another server. The download speed using is also depends on the quality of the intermediary proxy. So, please make sure you use a proxy good enough and dependable in order to download the file in IDM be over speeding.
- Please go to the provider's website proxies for free here

Regula Kits For Audi Motors
Since 2008, connoisseurs of new Audis and used motors from Audi, have had the opportunity to experience the performance excellence and absolutely unbelievable beauty of the Audi R8. With its unique sheeting contours and exterior lighting, the R8 stands-out on the road and delivers unparallelled driver satisfaction.
Regula Tuning offers an aesthetic and performance package that will launch your Audi experience into the realm of the "fast and furious." This upgrade kit will turn your R8 into a model with head-turning features and stunning uniqueness.
R8 coupe and roadster models, with new and used motors, can be transformed into "super-sports" with this comprehensive upgrade made from quality aramid materials. Along with front and rear bumper highlights, grill expansions, and side spoilers; the 2012 Regula Exclusive Audi R8 V10 kit provides unique performance transitory parts as well.
The two main performance features will divide normal Audis from their super-charged cousins. The first of the features are segregated front and rear patented Oxigen Wheels. Front wheels measure 8.5 inches in width, while the rear wheels measure 11 inches. These wheels create the illusion of an "honest-to-goodness" road rocket powered by the patented R8 drive train. The second performance addition is a conversion from the world class R8 engine into a V10 with up to 560 Hp. Along with the engine refinement, a tuning chip is installed to manage the incredible power and handling that this kit provides.
With the 2012 Regula Exclusive Audi R8 V10 kit, Audi owners can transform their ordinary R8 into a spectacle all other Audi owners will be envious of. That is, if there was anything about the Audi R8 that was ordinary!

The technical name for a facelift is "rhytidectomy." In this surgical procedure, excess face and neck skin are removed and the tissues under the skin are tightened. Activites such as smoking, sunbathing, outdoor activities, and stress can alter the appearance of the face. Additionally, as we age deep creases may form between the nose and mouth, the jawline may grow slack and sag, and folds and fat deposits may appear around the neck. A face lift can reduce these signs of aging, resulting in a firmer, fresher appearance.
Candidates must be in good health, have no active diseases or serious, pre-existing medical conditions, and must have realistic expectations of the outcome of the surgery. Facelifts are most commonly performed on patients between 40 to 60 years old. The procedure can produce good results for people from 60 to 80 as well. If you have strong, well defined bone structure and some skin elasticity, you are most likely to have good results from a facelift.
NOTE: You may not be a candidate for surgery if you smoke, have recently quit smoking, or if you are exposed to second-hand smoke. Primary and secondary smoking decreases blood flow to the body's tissues. This can result in prolonged wound healing, skin loss, infection, increased scarring, and a number of other complications depending on the kind of procedure performed. Click here for more information related to smoking.
The type and size of facelift depends on location and extent of skin laxity. Sizes range from "mini" to "standard". Usually, an incision is made in the hair near the temple and continues to the front of the ear, around the ear lobe, behind the ear and into the hair. The muscles and sagging tissue are tightened and excess skin is removed. The remaining skin is repositioned to create a more youthful look. The incision is closed with sutures, or with metal clips on the scalp. A small incision may be made under the chin if a neck lift is needed.
A face lift may be performed alone, or in conjunction with a forehead lift and/or eye lift (blepharoplasty), or nose surgery (rhinoplasty). Your surgeon may also recommend injections of Restylane® or Botox® to help alleviate deep creases in your forehead or frown lines between your eyebrows. To improve the texture of your facial skin, laser resurfacing or chemical peeling may be used.
For details about education, experience, and specialty in this clinical area, please visit these physician profile pages:
First, schedule a personal consultation with your plastic surgeon. Communication is vital in reaching your goals. You will have the opportunity to discuss your goals and the results you'd like to achieve. Your surgeon will work with you to reach an understanding about what you can expect from this procedure and what long-term benefits you will experience. Every patient is different, and your surgeon will choose the surgical technique and treatment plan that is right for you. During your initial consultation:
You will be given specific instructions on how to prepare for your surgery. A pre-operative information packet will be provided that explains everything you should do and know before your surgery date. Your surgeon will instruct you on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and which vitamins and medications should be taken or avoided. You should arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery, whether your surgery is done on an outpatient or inpatient basis. You may also want to make arrangements for someone to help you out for a day or two after you leave the hospital.
Your procedure will take place in the University of Michigan Hospitals' state-of-the-art surgical suites and recovery areas. The majority of these procedures are completed on an out-patient basis.
You'll remain comfortable throughout the entire procedure. In most cases, general anesthetic is used so that you will sleep throughout the procedure; although local anesthesia with intravenous sedation is also an option for some patients.

Staffordshire Ambulance Service said the paramedic was in uniform at the exit of the M6 Toll when he got the urgent call.
The barrier was not raised even when he said a delay could risk lives. He was only allowed to pass after activating the car's blue flashing lights.
Ambulance service spokesman Bob Lee said the Vauxhall Astra estate was refused free use of the motorway as it did not have "ambulance" on its side.
The car was delayed at
9.20pm yesterday on the way from Cannock to Lichfield.
Mr Lee added: "When the paramedic arrived at the barrier, the operator refused to let him through unless he paid the toll.
"The car was clearly marked up with a green-and-white checked stripe down each side and the Star of Life on the bonnet. We are very concerned to make sure this farcical situation never happens again. In a life-saving situation, every second can make a difference."
