INFOS Spreadsheet

The INFOS spreadsheet defines configurations for each type of point available in a system. The following columns must be configured:

Tag: Abbreviation of a communication point

Description: Textual description of a point. This is an informative-only column, not used by the loading process

Type: Type of point. Possible values are A: Analog points, D: Digital points, C: Commands, CI: Counters, or ST: Communication status

MeasurementType/CommandType: Defines the type of Measurement or Command created in Elipse Power. It must be identical to a type created in the Power Configuration object on tabs Analog, Discrete, and Commands

ProtectionType: It must be filled if the point informs something correlated to a protection function, such as Protection Block or Protection Trigger Signal. If it must be filled, this column must have the same name of a type of Protection defined on the Protections tab of the Power Configuration object

ElectricalPhase: This column must only be filled when the ProtectionType column of this row is filled. If this point is connected to a protection function, this column indicates the electrical phase of that protection function. Possible values are -1: No electrical phase, 0: Phases ABC, 1: Phase A, 2: Phase B, 3: Phase C, 4: Neutral, or 8: Device

Path: Indicates a path to the folder where the Measurement is instantiated in an Elipse Power device. In case of Protections, this column also defines the name of a Protection object. For example, if the Path columns is equal to "Protections.AutoReclosing.Measurements", a Protection called AutoReclosing is then created

CommandUnit: This column must only be filled in command points (Type column equal to C) and is used to indicate the Command Units to create. If the same point is used for two different actions, such as Open and Close, this column must be filled with two Command Units separated by a vertical bar character, such as "Open|Close". The names of these Command Units must be the same ones defined on the respective Command type registered on the Commands tab of the Power Configuration object.

Availability SH: Indicates whether a digital Measurement is handled or not on the availability expression of a device for the Self-Healing Module. The value N indicates that the Measurement must not be part of the availability expression. If the Measurement must be part of the availability expression, this column must inform the value for the normal condition of the Measurement. A device is available for the Self-Healing Module only when all registered Measurements are in their normal status, that is, a logic AND of all parcels. NOTE: The value is defined on the Digital tab of the Power Configuration object after applying a conversion and not the raw value coming from a field device

HoldPulseTriggerProtection: This column informs the Measurements for protection triggering, that is, Measurements of type *ProtectionOperate, which are used by the Self-Healing Module in the initialization trigger by protection, or lockout. If the Measurement must compose a expression to release the trigger initialization of the Self-Healing Module by protection, this column must be filled with the value 1 (one)

Protection Group: If a point indicates an activation signaling of a protection group or an adjustment command of a protection group, this column must be filled with the number of the adjustment group, such as 1 (one), 2 (two), or 3 (three). If a point is not related to adjustment groups, this column must be filled with the value N

Initial Status: Column used to provide the initial status of a variable in the simulation environment. This value must be equal to the normal status in case of Discrete Measurements

Type Availability: Indicates how to handle a point in case it is part of an availability expression. Possible values are A: Availability must return to the normal status when the Measurement normalizes, M: Device must only return to the normal status when the Measurement normalizes and the operator acknowledges, L: Unavailability allows receiving downstream loads, but does not allow transferring them to another Feeder, or N: Point must not be considered in the availability expression. For Command points, this column's value must be equal to M for Commands that, when detected by a slave Driver, must turn the Self-Healing Module unavailable until an operator acknowledges, such as Open, Close, or Energized Line Signaling Commands. For Commands that must not turn the Self-Healing Module unavailable, this column must be filled with the value N

Detect Current Fault: Allows informing the value a Measurement must contain to consider the signaling of current's fault passage. If the variable is not intended to detect faulty currents, this column must be filled with the value N. This column is only used in devices whose Detect Current Fault column was declared on the Device_List spreadsheet with the value S
