3. General
AQ-P215 Power Monitoring IED is a member of the AQ-200 product line. The AQ-200 protection and
monitoring product line in respect of hardware and software is a modular concept. The hardware
modules are assembled and congured according to the application IO requirements and the software
determines the available functions. This manual describes the specic application of the AQ-P215
Power Monitoring IED. For other AQ-200 series products please consult corresponding device
manuals.

4. IED user interface
4.1. Panel structure
AQ 200 series IED user interface section is divided into hardware- and software user interface
sections. Software interface is divided into local panel conguration and programming by using
AQtivate 200 freeware software suite.
4.1.1. AQ 200 series local panel structure
AQ 200 series IED have multiple LEDs, control buttons and local RJ-45 Ethernet port for conguration
on front as a default. On rear each unit is equipped with RS-485 serial interface and RJ-45 Ethernet
interface options as a standard. See list below.
Figure. 4.1.1. - 1. Local panel structure.
4 default LEDs: Power, Error, Start (congurable) and Trip (congurable).

Basic conguration
IED user interface is divided into 5 quick displays. The displays are Events, Favorites, Mimic, LEDs and
Clock. Default quick display is the mimic view and it is possible to glance through these menus by
pressing arrows left and right. Home button transfers the user between quick displays and 6 main
conguration menus. Main conguration menus in P215 Power Monitoring IED are General,
Communication, Measurements and Monitoring. It is switch between the main menus just by using all
of the four arrow keys.
Figure. 4.2.1. - 2. Basic navigation.
Moving around in the ve main quick displays is done by pressing navigation keys to left and
right.
Home buttontransfers the user between the quick displays and six main conguration menus.
Moving around in main conguration menus is done by pressing navigation buttons
up/down/left/rightand entering menu is conrmed by pressing enter which is in the middle of
the arrow keys. Notice that name of the main menu appears to the bottom of the display while
staying on top of icon.

general –menu. This button also resets latched LEDs in Mimic, LEDs and Favorites displays.
Padlock buttontakes user to password menu where it is possible to enter different user levels
(user, operator, congurator and super user).

Control menuincludes Controls Enabled sub-menu and sub-menus for different control functions like
Setting Groups, Objects, Control Functions and Device IO. Valid control functions vary according IED
type.

Setting groups
Figure. 4.4. - 7. Setting Groups menu displays all the information related to group changing.
Active setting group displays the current active setting group 1…8.
It is possible to activate desired setting group by setting Force SG . While doing this Force SG
change has to be enabled.
In Used setting groups menus it is possible to activate setting groups between 1 and 1…8
(default only 1 group is active).
Select local control for different setting groups from SG Local Select . Digital inputs, Logical
inputs or outputs, stage starting- tripping- or blocking, RTDs and object status information can
be used.
Event masking for setting groups (masks are off as default). Only masked events appear to
event list. Events cannot be cleared.
Setting group 1 has the highest and group 8 the lowest priority. Setting groups can be controlled with
steady signal or pulses.

Each activated object is visible in Objects -menu. As default all objects are disabled. Each active object
has four setting menus, settings, application control, registers and events.

Control access may be set to Local- or Remote control (local as default). When local control is
enabled it is not possible to control object trough bus and vice versa.
Type name of the object. As default objects are named as Object1…5.
Select type of the object between grounding disconnector, motor controlled disconnector,
circuit breaker, and withdraw able circuit breaker (circuit breaker as default).
Object status can be between Bad, Closed, Open and Intermediate. Intermediate is the phase
between open and closed where both status inputs are equal to zero (0). When both status
inputs of the object are one (1) the status of the object is Bad.
Object withdraw status could be Bad, Cart In, Cart Out or Intermediate. Intermediate is the
phase between open and closed where both status inputs are equal to zero (0). When both
status inputs of the cart are one (1) the withdrawn status is Bad.
Additional status information gives feedback from the object whether the opening and closing is
allowed or blocked, whether the object is ready or the synchronization status is ok.
Activate Use Synchrocheck or Use Object Ready. Closing the object is forbidden if sides are
out of sync or object is not ready to be closed.
Settings -menu also includes statistics for open- and closed requests. Stats can be cleared by
choosing Clear statistics → Clear .
Object has Open- and Close inputs and withdrawable object has In- and Out inputs. Object
Ready- and external Synchrocheck permission have status inputs as well. Digital inputs, Logical
inputs or outputs, stage starting- tripping- or blocking, RTDs and object status information can
be used to indicate the status.
Object open- and close signals of an object are connected to physical output relays.
Separate timeouts for objects are set in Settings menu. Synchronization wait- and Object Ready
wait timeouts are settable between 0.02…500.00 s (default 200ms, step 20ms). If time expires
the controlling of object fails. Same time settings apply with Maximum close- and open
command pulse lengths. Control Termination Timeout is set to 10 seconds as default. After the
set delay if the controlled object does not respond accordingly the procedure is terminated and
there will be fail message.
Access level for MIMIC control is selected between User, Operator, Congurator and Super
user. To control MIMIC the terms of user access level (password) has to be fullled. As default
the access level is set to Congurator.
For object local and remote controlling digital inputs can be used. Remote controlling via bus is
congured in protocol level.

Object statuses can be connected directly to physical outputs in Signal Connections menu which is
sub-menu to APP CONTR menu. It is possible to connect to output relay or to start- trip- or user
congurable LED. Connection to outputs can be either latched |x| or non-latched x.
Object blocking is done in Blocking Input Control menu. Blocking can be done by using digital inputs,
logical inputs or outputs, stage start- trip- or blocked information or by using object status information.

Device IO
Figure. 4.4. - 14. Device IO menu.
Device IO menu has sub-menus for Binary Inputs, Binary Outputs, LEDs, Logic signals and for
general Device IO matrix.
Binary inputs, Logic Outputs, protection stage status signals (start, trip & blocked etc.) and
object status signals can be connected to output relay or to start- trip- or user congurable
LEDs in Device IO matrix.
Figure. 4.4. - 15. IED Binary Inputs menu.
All settings related to binary inputs can be found under the Binary Inputs menu. Binary inputs Settings
menu includes polarity selection for the input (normal open or normal closed), activation (16…200
VAC/DC, step 0.1V) and release (10…200 VAC/DC, step 0.1V) threshold voltage for each available input
and activation delay (0…1800 s, step 1ms). Binary input statuses can be check from corresponding
menu.

Digital input activation and release threshold follows the measured peak value. Activation time of input
is between 5-10 milliseconds. Activation delay is congurable. Release time with DC is between 5-10
milliseconds. Release time with AC is less than 25 milliseconds.
Figure. 4.4. - 16. Binary Outputs menu.
Polarity of binary outputs is congured between normal open (NO) and normal closed (NC) in Binary
Outputs menu. As default polarity is normal open. Operation delay of output contact is around 5
milliseconds.
Description text for Binary output is congured in Binary Output Descriptions menu. Name change
affects to Matrixes and input –or output selection lists. Names have to be congured online or updated
to the IED via setting le.
NOTE! Normal closed signal goes to default position (normal open) in case the relay loses the auxiliary
voltage or during System full reset. Normally closed output signal does not open during
Communication- or protections reset.
