Using Setpoint Events and Actions

When a setpoint status changes, i.e., a setpoint event is either asserted or
de-asserted, the following happens in your meter:

The new setpoint status is logged to the setpoint status register

that can be monitored through communications from the SCADA
system or from a programmable controller in order to give an
indication on the expected event.

The operated setpoint status is latched to the setpoint alarm latch

register that can be inspected through communications and via
the display (see

Status Display

in Chapter 3). The register holds

the last setpoint alarm status until it is explicitly cleared through
communications or via the display.

A programmable action is performed on setpoint status transition

when a setpoint event is asserted.

Generally, setpoint actions are performed independently for each setpoint
and can be repeated a number of times for the same target. The
exceptions are relay operations that are shared for each target relay
between all setpoints using an OR scheme.

A relay output is operated when one of the setpoints linked to the relay is
activated and remains operated until all of these setpoints are released
(except for latched relays that require a separate release command to be
deactivated).

Using Time Counters

Any of the general counters can be used to count the setpoint operation
time. If you select the TIME CNT n action for a setpoint, the target
counter measures the time while the setpoint is in the operated state. The
counter resolution is 0.1 hour. See

Status Display

in Chapter 3 on how to

examine the counters via the front display.
