1.3 Organization
Chapter 2 System Overview

Cooper Power Systems' VERSACOM Load Management Systems provide centralized control of electrical loads and remote devices at residential, commercial, industrial, and utility system locations. An operator at a centrally located computer can issue commands to control and restore loads to remote devices such as water heaters, air conditioners, heat pumps, dualfuel furnaces, agricultural irrigation equipment, and distribution equipment such as capacitor banks and voltage regulators. Cooper Power Systems' Load Management Systems support multiple communications technologies, including FM/SCA Radio, Power Line Carrier, and Commercial Paging. A typical system consists of three major components (see Figure 2.1 on page 4):
A Master Station, which is common to all communications systems. Signal injectors or transmitter controllers. Remote receivers-either Load Control Receivers (LCRs) or Capacitor Bank Controllers
(CBCs). The CBC is a one-way receiver used for controlling distribution line capacitor banks and other similar devices. CBCs are available for use with three different Cooper Power Systems' communications systems-FM/SCA Radio (CBC-2010), Power Line Carrier (CBC-3010), and Paging (CBC-5010). This chapter explains these components and shows how the CBC fits within the overall system.
2.1 Master Station

The Master Station is a computer-based, central control station equipped with Cooper Power Systems' application software. The Master Station sends instructions to one or more communication Control Units (see Communication Control Units on page 4) and receives status or data in return. Commands transmitted to remote devices use Cooper Power Systems' VERSACOM protocol. Protocols to the Control Units typically use IDLC, a generalpurpose protocol that lets multiple types of Control Units or Remote Terminal Units share a common outbound communications channel. Typical Master Station equipment includes a processor unit, CRT, keyboard and mouse, disk drives, input/output ports, modems, and one or more printers. Network interfaces are also available. The Master Station's basic purpose is to provide an operator interface for real-time or scheduled control of Capacitor Bank Controllers or Load Control Receivers. Most Master Stations can also support interfaces to external Supervisory Control (SCADA) systems, which can also be used to externally initiate capacitor control actions. Cooper Power Systems' supports a variety of Master Stations running on Windows XP and other computers. Most systems are capable of supporting communications to multiple communications channels. Cooper Power Systems' systems can operate systems using carrier, FM/SCA radio, and Paging, either singly or in combination.

2.2 Communication Control Units

The Master Station's commands are transmitted by various types of Communications Control Units (xCUs), which interface with the specific communication system(s) being used. Control Units include:
CCU-710 and CCU-711 Carrier Control Units for transmission and reception of Cooper
Power Systems' EMETCON carrier communications. TCU-5000 Transmitter Control Units for injection of one-way FM/SCA sideband radio signals into commercial FM Broadcast transmitters. Modems connect the control units to the Master Station via a utility-supplied, voice grade, 1200-baud Bell 3002 (or equivalent) communications link, e.g., a dedicated telephone line or radio channel. Dial-Up lines are also supported. All xCUs have internal addressing, which allows multiple units to share a common channel. TCUs can use either Cooper Power Systems' MASTERCOM or IDLC protocols for communication to the Master Station.
Chapter 2 System Overview
2.2.1 Carrier Control Units (CCUs)

The Carrier Control Unit (CCU) converts messages from the Master Station into Cooper Power Systems' EMETCON protocol for transmission using Power Line Carrier (PLC) communications. Users typically install the CCU in distribution substations or on distribution feeders. Two types of CCUs are offered:
CCU-710 This is a simple protocol converter that converts Master Station commands to
carrier for both outbound and inbound communications. CCU-710s use a special Cooper Power Systems' EMETCON protocol instead of IDLC for communications to the Master Station. CCU-711 The CCU-711 is an intelligent terminal similar to a TCU. The CCU-711 allows commands to be queued and supports other intelligent control algorithms. Like the TCUs, CCU-711s use IDLC for communications to the Master Station. The carrier signal is injected by the CCU at either 9.6 or 12.5 kHz onto the distribution primary. Primary Coupling Assemblies are available for coupling onto busses or circuits from 4 to 35 kV. Carrier communication uses Coherent Phase Shifting Keying (CPSK) modulation, and messages are sent using Cooper Power Systems' EMETCON carrier protocol message structures. VERSACOM commands are embedded in the EMETCON message structure, which also supports remote meter reading transponders and other two-way devices for automated distribution applications.
2.2.2 TCU-5000 FM Transmitter Control Unit

The TCU-5000 is installed at the transmitter of a commercial FM broadcasting station operating in the standard 88.1 to 107.9 MHz band. The TCU converts VERSACOM commands into sideband FM/SCA digital signals. These signals are included in the FM station's broadcast signal by the SCA Generator, which is part of the TCU-5000 package. The Cooper Power Systems' FM/SCA system uses a proprietary modulation technique (Ternary Carrier Shift Keying, or TCSK) to compress a high effective data rate (1200 bps) into the bandwidth of the SCA channel and to check each character for errors. The TCU ensures that all utility signals are processed, including control or reconfiguration messages, and it returns TCU status reports and alarm indications to the Master Station.
2.2.3 Paging System

The CBC is initiated from the Master Station. The Master Station communicates to remote CBCs by means of paging signals. Modulation of the Paging signal is managed by a paging service company, which is connected to one or more Paging radio transmitters operating in the 929.0000 - 932.1875 MHz range in 12.5 KHz steps. A utility-supplied voice grade communication link provides two-way communication between Master Computer and paging service company.
2.3 Capacitor Bank Controllers (CBCs)
2.3 Capacitor Bank Controllers (CBCs)

Command messages sent by the Master Station are broadcast via the TCUs or CCUs using Cooper Power Systems' VERSACOM control protocol and captured by Cooper Power Systems' Capacitor Bank Controllers (CBCs) or Load Control Receivers (LCRs) located at utility or customer sites. LCRs allow the discrete or cyclic control of loads to such devices as water heaters and air conditioners. CBCs allow the remote control of capacitor banks. All communications between the control units and the LCRs or CBCs are one-way transmissions. Actual messages to CBCs use the Data Word capability of VERSACOM, as opposed to the VERSACOM load control command set. VERSACOM offers highly flexible hierarchical group addressing (over 65,000 address groups) plus unique serial number addressing of end devices. Because group addresses are stored in nonvolatile memory in the CBCs and LCRs, addressing and other switch parameters can be remotely reprogrammed from the Master Station. These same tasks can be performed locally using the Cooper Power Systems' RSU-110 or CBC-Minder for Palm handheds (for radio units) or the PCT-751 Portable Carrier Tester (for carrier devices). An additional feature of VERSACOM control is its ability to allow devices to be remotely taken in and out of service, either temporarily or permanently, to assist in field service. This can be done for individual units or for groups of receivers that have a common group address. The receivers in the CBCs operate at factory-set fixed frequencies for carrier. The FM/SCA units employ a scanning receiver, which locks onto whatever FM frequency and sideband that transmits the programmed Utility ID address. All CBCs share common packaging and operating features, as well as VERSACOM addressing.
Chapter 3 CBC Features

Cooper Power Systems' CBC is a one-way receiver that allows remote control of distribution line capacitors and other similar devices. The CBC typically energizes a capacitor bank by operating an oil switch that closes the bank's connection to the primary distribution line, and it de-energizes the bank by tripping (opening) the bank's oil switches. Single-phase capacitor banks use a single oil switch, while three-phase banks have one switch per phase. Actual trip or close control of the bank is achieved by momentarily closing one of two 30-ampere 120 VAC relays for a period of 30 seconds. These relays connect 120 VAC to energize the trip or close coils of the capacitor bank oil switch(es), which in turn disconnect the bank from, or connect the bank to, the primary distribution circuit.
3.1 Key Features

The key features of Cooper Power Systems' CBC are:
LOCAL or REMOTE Control of Capacitor Banks: This feature gives you the option of
operating the CBC either locally or remotely. You choose the mode of operation by setting the LOCAL/REMOTE switch, which is inside the CBC. For remote control, three communications versions of the CBC are available: CBC-2010 for FM/SCA Broadcast Radio systems CBC-3010 for Cooper Power Systems' EMETCONTM Power Line Carrier (PLC) systems CBC-5010 for Commercial Paging Trip/Close Capability: This feature lets you direct the CBC to trip or close the capacitor bank switch. If the CBC is in LOCAL mode, you use the internal TRIP/CLOSE toggle switch to trip or close the capacitor bank switch. If the CBC is in REMOTE mode, you can trip or close the bank only from the Master Station. Voltage Threshold Operation Option: This feature lets you set voltage thresholds, which, when exceeded, cause the CBC to automatically trip the bank (for overvoltage conditions) or close the bank (for undervoltage conditions). You select the threshold values by setting pin jumpers, which are inside the CBC, to the desired voltage setpoints. The voltage threshold feature works only in REMOTE mode. When the CBC is in LOCAL mode, it ignores its over/undervoltage setpoints and responds only to locally initiated trip and close commands. So, for example, an on-site operator controlling a CBC that is in LOCAL mode could close the bank, even if an overvoltage condition exists. If the CBC were then switched to REMOTE mode, the overvoltage feature would trip the bank after four minutes and start the Reclose Delay timer, if the timer is enabled. Programmable Time Delays for Close and Reclose Operations: The Close timer lets you set a time delay between the issuance of a Close command and the actual activation of the Close relay. This delay gives service personnel time to move away from the bank
3.2 Physical Features
before the bank actually closes. The Reclose timer lets you prevent a bank from being closed too quickly after it has been tripped. You activate the Close and Reclose timers by setting pin jumpers, which are inside the CBC, to the desired values. The Close and Reclose timers are set independently. The timers operate for both LOCAL and REMOTE Close commands. Trip commands, which open the bank, are not time-delayed. This chapter, after first describing the physical characteristics of the CBC, explains each of these functional features in more detail.
3.2 Physical Features

The CBC comes in a standard, four-blade, socket-mounting enclosure suitable for a standard ring-type meter socket and sealing ring. The CBC will not mount in a ringless type socket. The door of the CBC has provisions for both a meter-type seal and a padlock. External LEDs provide communications and bank status as well as data transmission status. The CBC enclosure is rated NEMA 3 raintight when it is mounted vertically and the door sealing screw is tightened down to compress the door's neoprene rubber gasket. The internal CBC controller circuit board includes the REMOTE/LOCAL and Trip/Close toggle switches, Voltage Control and Time Delay jumper pin sets, internal status LEDs, output relays, and the optional mechanical Trip operations counter. The removable door contains the communications receiver circuit board and the externally visible status LEDs. The receiver and controller circuit boards are connected by two ribbon cables with removable connectors that mate to pin connectors on the door.

The physical configuration of the controller and receiver boards vary according to which communications system is being used. The controller module for CBCs used in a carrier system, for example, has additional components not found in CBCs used in FM systems. Each CBC uses a receiver board that is tailored to the required communications system. VERSACOM features, mechanical controls, electrical input/outputs, and overall packaging are common for all CBCs. A mechanical trip operations counter, located in the CBC base, is an available option.
3.3 Functional Features

This section explains the key functional features of the CBC Capacitor Bank Controller:
REMOTE or LOCAL control mode Trip and Close Operations (either mode) Over and Undervoltage Threshold Operation Settings (Remote mode only) Close and Reclose Delay Timer Settings (either mode)
3.3.1 Remote Control Of Capacitor Banks

CBC Capacitor Bank Controllers can be operated either from a Master Station at a remote location (REMOTE mode) or from the CBC itself at the site installation (LOCAL mode). To remotely operate a CBC, you must first move the LOCAL/REMOTE toggle switch, which is inside the CBC, to the REMOTE position. When the CBC is in REMOTE mode, you can remotely trip or close a capacitor bank, re-program a CBC's addresses, or activate/deactivate the Voltage Threshold feature. (If you remotely deactivate the Voltage Threshold function, a special light sequence alerts local personnel.) The pin settings for the Over/Undervoltage thresholds and the Close/Reclose timers must be changed manually, which you can do at any time. These functions are discussed in later sections. In REMOTE mode, the CBC receives its instructions from the Master Station. Messages from the Master Station are broadcast to the CBC using Cooper Power Systems' VERSACOMTM protocol sent over the designated communications channel. (See Section 4.7 for more information about the different communications systems.) Remote Trip or Close commands are sent to the CBC via Data Words embedded in the VERSACOM message. This data is passed to the controller logic module in the base via a ribbon connector from the receiver module serial interface on the CBC door. The Status LED on the receiver door module is used to verify communications reception (see Status LED on page 21). VERSACOM, Cooper Power Systems' versatile communications protocol, is used for remote control. It offers:
Addressing of individual CBCs, by serial number. Addressing of groups of CBCs, by means of a four-level addressing scheme. Remote configuration of receiver parameters such as group addresses. Contractual In- or Out-of-Service commands, which can deactivate the switch. Remote activation or deactivation of Voltage Threshold operation.
Individual Addressing
Each CBC has a unique serial number, which is listed on the Serial Number label. The serial number can be used within a VERSACOM command to address an individual CBC. Only the CBC containing the serial number address specified in the command will act upon that command. The CBC serial number is factory assigned, and it is stored in the receiver board memory. The serial number address can only be changed by replacing the receiver board.
Group Addressing
Groups of CBCs are addressed according to a four-level (Utility ID, Section, Class, and Division) addressing scheme. CBC address information, when imbedded within a VERSACOM command, lets you target specific groups of CBCs for activation.
10
Four-Level Addressing and Address Assignments

Table 3.1 explains the four-level addressing scheme and shows how specific addresses are assigned at each address level.
Table 3.1 Four-Level Addressing and Address Assignments Address Level Primary Utility ID Address Assignment A CBC is assigned one address for Primary Utility ID. The Primary Utility ID is set by Cooper Power Systems' prior to shipment and is nonconfigurable. There are 254 available addresses for Primary Utility ID. Typical Use Utility-Wide control (also used by coordinating G&T cooperatives, Municipal coordinating groups, etc.)
Auxiliary Utility ID
A CBC is assigned one address for Auxiliary Utility District, Region, City, Member ID, which can be used in place of the Primary Cooperative, etc. Utility ID. The Auxiliary Utility ID is set by Cooper Power Systems' prior to shipment and is nonconfigurable. There are 254 available addresses for Auxiliary Utility ID. A CBC is assigned one Section address. The Substation Section address is utility-configurable in the field. There are 255 available Section addresses. A CBC is assigned one Class address. The Class Feeder address is utility-configurable in the field. There are 16 available Class addresses. A CBC is assigned one Division address. The Control Group Division address is utility-configurable in the field. There are 16 available Division addresses.

Division
This addressing scheme enables each substation to have up to 16 feeder groups, each district up to 255 substation groups, etc., for a total of over 65,000 possibilities.
Information to Be Included in the VERSACOM Command

To activate a particular CBC, a VERSACOM command must contain, at a minimum, the address levels specified in the CBC's Required Address Level. The Required Address Level is a parameter, stored in the receiver, that you configure either by issuing VERSACOM commands from an Master Station or by using the Cooper Power Systems' Receiver Service Unit (RSU-110 or CBC-Minder for Palm handhelds). By configuring a CBC's Required Address Level, you can require that some or all of the group address levels (Utility ID, Section, Class, or Division) be present in a VERSACOM command before that CBC accepts the command. Utility ID is always required in group addressing. You can require any combination of the other three address levels (Section, Class, or Division) to be present in the VERSACOM command. A VERSACOM command can always use address levels in addition to those specified in the target CBC's Required Address Level. Again, the Required Address Level is the minimum address level (or levels) required by a CBC before that CBC will accept a command. Utility ID and Section address levels can have only one address value specified per command. Class and Division address levels, using a mask technique, can have any combination of their sixteen available address values specified in a command.
11
A receiver can also be configured to respond only to individual addressing-that is, to require no level of group addressing. Selecting no Required Address Level is equivalent to turning off the group addressing feature of the receiver. (CBCs can always be addressed by serial number, regardless of the Required Address Level.) CBC Processing of the VERSACOM Command: When a CBC receives a VERSACOM command that uses group addressing; the CBC will accept the command only if the following are true:
The Utility ID (either Primary or Auxiliary, but not both) is present in the command The command contains all of the group address levels specified in the CBC's Required
Address Level All of the address values in the command match those that are stored in the CBC's configuration. Utility IDs are considered to match if the command's Utility ID is the same as either of the CBC's Utility IDs (Primary Utility ID or Auxiliary Utility ID). Similarly, Class or Division addresses match if any value in the command is the same as the CBC's address for that level. Consider the examples in Table 3.2, which show the CBC addressing information contained in six VERSACOM commands sent from a Master Station:
Table 3.2 Examples of Addressing Information Contained in VERSACOM Commands Group Addressed in VERSACOM Command Utility ID Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 2 11 8 2 2 Section Class Mask Division Mask Target CBCs None 15 23 None None None None None 9 6, 7, 8, 9 None None None None 4, 5, 6 CBCs assigned to Utility ID 2 CBCs assigned to Utility ID 11 and Section 15 CBCs assigned to Utility ID 8 and Section 23 CBCs assigned to Utility ID 2 and Class 9 CBCs assigned to Utility ID 2 and Classes 6, 7, 8, or 9, and Divisions 4, 5, or 6. CBCs assigned to Utility ID 8 and Section 15 and Classes 3 or 4 and Divisions 4, 5, or 6.
Example 6
15
3, 4
4, 5, 6
Notice that all of the example commands shown in Table 3.2 include a Utility ID, which is always required with group addressing. Now, assume that a particular CBC has been assigned these address values for each address level:
Table 3.3 Example Assigned Address Values CBC Group Address Level Primary Utility ID Auxiliary Utility ID Assigned Address Value 2 8
12
Table 3.3 Example Assigned Address Values (Continued) CBC Group Address Level Section Class Division Assigned Address Value 15 9 6
Assume also that this CBC has Utility ID as the only address level specified in its Required Address Level. If this CBC receives commands with the addresses shown in Table 3.2, it does not exclude any of the commands on the basis of Required Address Level, because all of the commands have a Utility ID specified, and Utility ID is the only address level required in this CBC's Required Address Level. The CBC then evaluates the command addresses as follows:
Table 3.4 Example Command Address Evaluation Example #1 Example #2 Example #3 Example #4 Example #5 Example #6 This address is a match, since the CBC's Primary Utility ID is 2. The CBC executes the command. This address is a match for Section, but neither of the CBC's Utility IDs match the command's Utility ID. The CBC ignores the command. This address is a match for Utility ID but not for Section address. The CBC ignores the command. This address is a match for both levels-Utility ID and Class. The CBC executes the command. This address is a match for all three levels-Utility ID, Class, and Division. The CBC executes the command. This address is a match for Utility ID, Section, and Division, but not for Class. The CBC ignores the command.
Remote Configuration of Group Addresses

Group addresses and certain other switch parameters (such as Required Address Level) can be remotely reprogrammed from the Master Station. VERSACOM allows remote control or reprogramming of CBCs by group or individually by serial number. CBCs can be programmed locally with the Cooper Power Systems' RSU-110 or CBC-Minder for Palm handhelds (for radio CBCs) or with the PCT-751 Portable Carrier Tester (for carrier CBCs).
Contractual IN/OUT-of-Service Commands

For maintenance purposes, you can use the VERSACOM Contractual Out-of-Service command to remotely remove individual CBCs, or groups of CBCs, from Master Station control. This command has the following effects: 1. It deactivates the reception of any remote commands (including remote reprogramming commands) by the CBC except for a Contractual In-Service Command. 2. The Status and Data Port LEDs on the front panel of the CBC are deactivated; however, the Bank Status LEDs will continue to function normally.
13
3. An Out-of-Service CBC in REMOTE mode continues to respond to overvoltage and undervoltage setpoints, just as it normally would. 4. In- or Out-of-Service commands do not affect LOCAL control capability. In LOCAL mode, the CBC could be tripped or closed, but Voltage Threshold operation is disabled.
Remote Override of the Voltage Threshold Feature

The CBC's voltage threshold feature can be remotely overridden from the Master Station. For more information, see Voltage Threshold Operation on page 15.
3.3.2 Trip and Close Operations

The main function of the CBC is to trip (open) and close (connect) a capacitor bank's connection to the primary distribution line, as needed. The CBC de-energizes the bank by tripping (opening) the connection, and it energizes the bank by closing the connection, via the bank's oil switch(es). Cooper Power Systems' Capacitor Bank Controller supports these operations in both LOCAL and REMOTE modes.
Tripping and Closing in LOCAL Mode

To locally operate (Trip or Close) a capacitor bank switch, you must move the CBC's LOCAL/ REMOTE toggle switch to the LOCAL position. If, at the time you press the switch, a remote Trip command is active, or if the Close relay is active, the CBC completes the remote operation (either Trip or Close) before switching to LOCAL mode. If, however, you move the switch to LOCAL mode before the Close relay is activated, the CBC cancels the remotely initiated close operation and switches to LOCAL mode immediately.
Tripping the Bank

With the CBC in LOCAL mode, press the Trip/Close toggle switch to the Trip position (the switch will spring return to the center position). The controller then: 1. Operates the CBC momentary Trip relay that actuates the capacitor bank oil switch. 2. Extinguishes the red status LED (which indicates a closed bank). 3. Flashes the green status LED rapidly for 30 seconds (a time fixed in firmware) while the CBC Trip relay contact is momentarily active. 4. Performs one of these actions, depending on the state of the Reclose timer:
If the Reclose timer is disabled, the controller illuminates the green LED continuously,
indicating the Trip has occurred.
If the Reclose timer is enabled (meaning that the CBC will not accept another Close
command until the reclose time is expired), the controller flashes the green LED slowly. The green LED continues to flash slowly until the reclose period is finished, at which time it illuminates continuously green, indicating the capacitor bank has been tripped open. NOTE: All operations of the bank are inhibited during the Reclose delay time. If the LOCAL/REMOTE switch is moved from LOCAL to REMOTE during the Reclose time, the CBC ignores any remotely initiated operation.
14
Closing the Bank

With the CBC in LOCAL mode, press the Trip/Close switch to the Close position. The CBC then takes one of the following actions, depending on the state of the Close timer (that is, if a time delay has been selected):
If the Close delay timer is disabled, the CBC immediately activates the CBC momentary
relay to close the capacitor bank switch. The relay is active for 30 seconds, during which time the red LED flashes rapidly. After the 30 seconds are up, the red LED stays lit continuously, indicating the bank is closed. If the Close timer is enabled, the CBC waits until the specified amount of time has expired before it activates the Close relay. This delay gives local crews time to move away from the bank before the bank switch actually closes. During this delay, the red LED flashes slowly to indicate that the Close timer is operating. After the Close delay time expires, the CBC activates the Close relay, which is active for 30 seconds. During the 30 seconds that the Close relay is active, the red LED flashes rapidly. After the 30 seconds are up, the bank switch closes, and the red LED stays on continuously, indicating that the bank switch is closed. NOTE: During the Close time delay, the CBC ignores LOCAL Close commands. If, however, a Trip is initiated during the Close time delay, the CBC cancels the pending switch closure and resets the Close timer. If the LOCAL/REMOTE switch position is changed, the CBC logic does not internally change to the REMOTE mode until any locally initiated operation is completed.
Tripping and Closing in REMOTE Mode

To remotely trip or close a capacitor bank switch, first move the LOCAL/REMOTE toggle switch on the CBC controller board to the REMOTE position. The CBC does not actually switch to REMOTE mode until any active, locally initiated operation completes its cycle. After the CBC switches to REMOTE mode, it responds only to transmitted commands from the Master Station and ignores any locally initiated operations. (The use of the CBC's Trip/Close toggle switch is disabled in REMOTE mode.) The Close and Reclose timers will operate the same in either LOCAL or REMOTE mode. See above for details.
3.3.3 Voltage Threshold Operation

The voltage threshold option (which is active only in REMOTE mode) allows the CBC to automatically trip or close the capacitor bank based on overvoltage or undervoltage conditions. The CBC's controller board has pin sets with jumpers that allow you to specify overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds. When these thresholds are exceeded for more than four minutes, the CBC automatically trips or closes the bank, as appropriate. During this time, the amber LED flashes slowly to indicate the tracking of an overvoltage or undervoltage condition. The voltage threshold option works in conjunction with the Close and Reclose timers. The CBC measures RMS line voltage once per second and performs a running average of the voltage values as soon as the set upper or lower threshold is exceeded. If the average for four minutes exceeds the setting, then operation is triggered. The voltage detection circuit is accurate to approximately + .25 VAC.
15
To enable the voltage threshold option, select the desired overvoltage and/or undervoltage setpoints by placing the jumpers on the appropriate pin sets (Overvoltage Setpoint or Undervoltage Setpoint). These two sets of pins are inside the CBC on the controller board, just below the Trip/Close and LOCAL/REMOTE toggle switches. Table 3.5 shows the various setpoints available for setting overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds.
Table 3.5 Voltage Threshold Setpoints Undervoltage Setpoints Overvoltage Setpoints Volts AC Volts AC 117 116 115 114 113 112 111 Disabled 129 128 127 126 125 124 123 Disabled
NOTE: If NO pins are jumpered, the Voltage Threshold operation is Disabled.
Tripping the Bank Due to Overvoltage

When the overvoltage threshold is exceeded for four minutes (a time duration fixed in firmware), the controller sends a Trip command to the CBC capacitor bank Trip relay. When an overvoltage condition causes the CBC to initiate a Trip operation, the operation is the same as a LOCAL trip command except that an additional LED-the amber Over/Undervoltage status LED-is lit (continuously) to indicate that the voltage threshold function is in effect. The Reclose delay timer, if enabled, works in conjunction with the overvoltage threshold feature.
Closing the Bank Due to Undervoltage

When voltage drops below the undervoltage setpoint for four minutes (a time duration fixed in firmware), the controller takes one of the following actions, depending on the Close timer setting:
If the Close timer is disabled, the CBC activates the Close relay and sends a Close
command to the capacitor bank switch. The relay is active for 30 seconds, during which time the red LED flashes rapidly, indicating that the Close relay is active. After the 30 seconds are up, the red and amber LEDs stay on continuously, indicating that the bank switch closed due to an undervoltage condition. If the Close timer is enabled, the CBC waits until the specified amount of time has expired before it activates the Close relay. During this delay, the red LED flashes slowly to indicate that the Close timer is operating, and the amber LED stays on continuously to indicate the undervoltage condition. After the Close delay time expires, the CBC activates the Close relay, which is active for 30 seconds. During the 30 seconds that the Close relay is active, the red LED flashes rapidly. After the 30 seconds are up, the red and amber LEDs stay on continuously, indicating that the bank switch closed due to an undervoltage condition.
16
Remote Override of the Voltage Threshold Operation

The Voltage Threshold operation of the CBC can be remotely overridden from the Master Station. If this occurs, it may not be obvious to a local operator, since the pin settings may indicate operation is to occur. To alert a local operator that the Voltage Threshold feature has been overridden, the CBC slowly flashes the amber Over/Undervoltage status LED for a period of five seconds when the CBC is switched from LOCAL to REMOTE mode.
3.3.4 Close And Reclose Timers

Two timer options-a Close Delay timer and a Reclose Delay timer-are provided as safety features. The Close and Reclose timers are not affected by the setting of the LOCAL/REMOTE switch. (Both timers operate in both modes.) You select the settings for both timers by manually positioning the appropriate jumper pins, which are on the controller board (see Figure 3.2). For both timers, you can specify a fixed time delay, or you can disable the timer. Timers are set individually, and the selections are fixed in firmware.
Close Delay Timer

The Close Delay timer lets you specify that a time delay occur between the issuance of a Close command (originating either remotely from the Master Station, locally from an operator, or automatically due to an undervoltage condition) and the actual operation of the CBC relay, which causes the bank switch to close. The Close timer is designed to give service personnel extra time to move away from the bank before the bank switch actually closes. Available settings for the Close Delay Timer are:
Three minutes One minute Disable the timer

NOTE: If NO pins are jumpered, the timer operation is Disabled.
Reclose Delay Timer

The Reclose Delay timer lets you specify that a time delay occur between a Trip (opening of the bank) and the next acceptable Close command. This time delay prevents multiple, rapid trip-close cycles, which could damage the bank or affect utility service. Available settings for the Reclose Delay timer are:
Five minutes Three minutes Disable the timer

NOTE: Note: If NO pins are jumpered, the timer operation is Disabled.

See Control Parameters on page 25 for the specific values available for these controls.
4.2 Light Emitting Diode (LED) Indicators

The CBC has two sets of status LEDs; an internal set of three LEDs and an externally visible set of five LEDs. These LEDs indicate the status of CBC operations.
19
4.2.1 Internal LEDs

The internal set of LEDs, which is on the controller board in the base, is visible only when the controller door is open. The three LEDs indicate the status of the capacitor bank. The internal LEDs are arranged as shown:
TRIPPED OV/UV Operation CLOSED
O O O
(Green) (Amber) (Red)
The LEDs indicate the state of the last known output, regardless of the mode of operation (LOCAL or REMOTE). See following NOTE regarding this feature. Table 4.2 lists the various possible conditions indicated by the internal bank status LEDs:
Table 4.2 Internal/External Bank Status LEDs and Their Meaning Bank Status LEDs Continuous Green Continuous Red Continuous Green and Continuous Amber Continuous Red and Continuous Amber Slowly Flashing Amber Rapidly Flashing Amber Meaning The bank switch is tripped normally. The bank switch is closed normally. The bank switch is tripped due to an overvoltage condition. The bank switch is closed due to an undervoltage condition. The CBC is tracking an overvoltage or undervoltage condition.The amber LED slow blinks five times during startup if no errors occur. The CBC detected an error condition during startup.The amber LED fast blinks five times when the local/remote switch is moved from local to remote and OV/UV operation is disabled. The close timer is operating. The close relay is active. The controller reclose timer is operating. The close relay is active.
Slowly Flashing Red Rapidly Flashing Red Slowly Flashing Green Rapidly Flashing Green
NOTE: CBCs are shipped from the factory with the LEDs in a random state. When first installed, the CBC status should be set (Tripped or Closed) to coincide with the actual bank switch positions. After installation, the Bank Status LED settings are retained in memory during and after a power outage. Thus units that are de-energized and removed will retain the previous settings. Whenever a unit is installed, the CBC should be set (Tripped or Closed) in accordance with the current condition of the actual bank switches.
20
4.2.2 External LEDs

The external indicators appear as follows:
Figure 4.1 External LEDs

The external LEDs are visible through a window on the front of the CBC door. The external set of five LEDs includes three bank status indicators-Closed, Over/Undervoltage Operation, and Tripped-that are identical in function to the internal Bank Status LEDs discussed previously. The other two LEDs in the external set are a Status LED, which indicates the status of the receiver and/or its communications (see Status LED, below), and a Data LED, which indicates that data is being transmitted from the receiver board to the controller in the base (see Data LED on page 23).

Status LED
The meaning of the Status LED varies depending on which Cooper Power Systems' communications system (FM/SCA radio, Power Line Carrier, or paging) you are using. The meaning of this LED for the different communications systems is explained below.
FM/SCA Radio (CBC-2010)

For the CBC-2010, which is used in an FM/SCA system, the Status LED is a green LED (fourth from the left) that indicates the status of the receiver:
Table 4.3 Status LED Meanings for CBC-2010s LED Status LED On LED Off Meaning Indicates lock-on to filler messages; this is normal operation of the receiver. Indicates that the receiver status LED is disabled or that the receiver is contractually outof-service.
LED Slow Blink 1. When the LED is blinking at a rate of 0.5 seconds per blink, it indicates that all diagnostic routines (ROM checksum, RAM read/write) passed with no errors after a cold start-up. The number of blinks is configurable. 2. When the LED is blinking at a rate of two seconds per blink, it indicates a Comm Loss condition. A Comm Loss condition has higher priority than a Propagation Display command.
21
Table 4.3 Status LED Meanings for CBC-2010s (Continued) LED Status Meaning
LED Fast Blink A VERSACOM Propagation Display command causes the Status LED to blink, at a rate of 100 ms. per blink, either for a configurable duration (Propagation Display Time; PDT) ranging from one to nine hours with one-hour resolution, or until a VERSACOM Propagation Terminate command is received. Additional Propagation Display commands reset the propagation display time to the configurable duration.
Power Line Carrier (CBC-3010)

For the CBC-3010, which is used in a carrier system, the Carrier Status LED is a amber LED (fourth from the left) that indicates the status of the receiver:
Table 4.4 Status LED Meanings for CBC-3010s LED Status LED On LED Off Meaning This indicates that the CBC has heard an outbound message from the substation in the past 60 minutes. This indicates one of three possible states: 1) that 60 minutes has elapsed and the CBC has not heard an outbound message from the substation (note that the 60 minute on time is typical but is configurable for other values), 2) that the Status LED is configured as disabled, or 3) that the CBC is contractually out-of-service.
LED Slow Blink This indicates that all diagnostic routines passed with no error (ROM checksum, RAM read/write) after a cold start-up. There are three blinks, and each blink is 0.5 seconds long. LED Fast Blink This indicates a diagnostics error after power up or after receipt of a diagnostic initiator. The Status LED keeps blinking (0.25 seconds per blink) while the error condition exists.
Commercial Paging System (CBC-5010)

For the CBC-5010, which is used in a commercial paging system, the Paging Status LED is a green LED that indicates the status of the receiver:
Table 4.5 Status LED Meanings for CBC-5010s LED Status LED On Meaning This indicates that the CBC has received a VERSACOM Propagation Display command. The LED stays on: - Until a VERSACOM Propagation Terminate - For a configurable duration (Propagation Display Time; PDT), which ranges from 1 to 9 hours with 1 hour resolution. Additional Propagation Display or Test On commands reset the LED On time to the configurable duration. LED Off Indicates one of the following: - The configurable duration for LED On has elapsed - The LED is disabled - The CBC is contractually out-of-service. After a cold start-up, the LED blinks slowly (0.5 seconds per blink) if all diagnostic routines pass with no error (ROM checksum, RAM read/write). The number of blinks is configurable.

Table 4.5 Status LED Meanings for CBC-5010s (Continued) LED Status Meaning
LED Fast Blink This indicates one of the following diagnostics errors: - ROM checksum - RAM read/write - Brownout condition A binary code is displayed by load status LEDs, indicating which diagnostics error occurred. The table below shows the binary codes and the status of the load LEDs. A status of 1 indicates that the LED is turned on. Diagnostics Error ROM checksum RAM read/write Unused Brownout Binary Code 0 1 2 3 Status of Load LEDs R1 R2 R3 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1
Data LED
The CBC's Data LED is normally off, and it is lit only when data transmission from receiver to controller is taking place. (To use the Data LED for optical output of receiver addresses and other internal data, you must first disconnect the serial communication cable, which is inside the CBC.) NOTE: Unlike the Cooper Power Systems' Load Control Receivers, the Data LED in the CBC door does not constantly transmit internally stored data for retrieval with a Receiver Service Unit. To use the Data LED for optical output of receiver addresses and other internal data, you must first disconnect the serial communication cable, which is inside the CBC. This is the cable that runs from the right side of the base controller module, under the board, up the left side of the controller, and over to the receiver board. Note the Caution statement in CBC Receiver Power Interface on page 28.
4.3 Trip Operations Counter (Optional)

The CBC controller board can be furnished with an optional six-digit nonresettable electromechanical counter, which records the cumulative total of CBC Trip operations. The counter includes data for LOCAL, REMOTE, and Overvoltage Trip actions. This counter is viewable in the lower right corner of the controller board when the CBC door is open.

Two relays, K1 and K2, are provided to activate Trip and Close actions, respectively. Each relay has the following characteristics:
Table 4.6 Control Output Specifications Characteristic Contacts Spec Type 1 FORM C Contacts interlocked and wired as 2 Form A (normally open
Contact Ratings 30 Amperes at 120 VAC resistive Coil Voltage 12 VDC
These relays are energized momentarily for a fixed period of 30 seconds to activate the capacitor bank primary line switches. WARNING: DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE! - Each output relay controls a 120 VAC voltage source that
is connected from within the CBC to rear blades for Trip or Close. The voltage is connected between the appropriate output blade and the Neutral blade.
4.5 Electrical Inputs and Outputs

The electrical input and output specifications of the CBC are:
Table 4.7 Electric Input and Output Specs Spec AC Power AC Neutral TRIP Output CLOSE Output TRIP/CLOSE Common Vsense Value 120 VAC +10 -20%, 60 Hz +/- 2 Hz single phase Less than 100 ma in standby, 30 Amps noncontinuous during bank operation through output contacts 0 Volts (30 Amps) 120 VAC at 30 Amps (30 seconds typical energize time-connected to Trip blade) 120 VAC at 30 Amps (30 seconds typical energize time-connected to Trip blade) 120 VAC at 30 Amps (connected to AC neutral) Sensing for the Voltage Threshold circuits is taken from the control power input. This AC source voltage is used to determine the overvoltage and undervoltage control actions. The circuits use an averaging algorithm to calculate RMS voltage to an accuracy of approximately 0.25 volts.

4.6 Control Parameters

Listed below are the CBC's various controls and the possible settings for each set. NOTE: If NO pins are jumpered, the timer or threshold operation is Disabled.
Table 4.8 Control Parameters Parameter Close Delay Timer Value A fixed time delay between the time of the locally or remotely initiated close operation and the time the controller makes the close contact active to the capacitor switch. The Close Delay Timer settings are selectable by pin jumper for: - 3 minutes - 1 minute - Disable A fixed time delay between the time the controller makes the Trip contact inactive and the time the controller accepts a local or remote Close operation. The Reclose Delay Timer settings are selectable by pin jumper for: - 5 minutes - 3 minutes - Disable
Reclose Delay Timer
Undervoltage Setpoint The setting of the Undervoltage Setpoint switch determines the operational status and value of the undervoltage close condition. The possible setpoints are: - 117 Volts AC - 116 Volts AC - 115 Volts AC - 114 Volts AC - 113 Volts AC - 112 Volts AC - 111 Volts AC - Disabled Overvoltage Setpoint The setting of the Overvoltage Setpoint switch determines the operational status and value for the overvoltage trip condition. The possible setpoints are: - 129 Volts AC - 128 Volts AC - 127 Volts AC - 126 Volts AC - 125 Volts AC - 124 Volts AC - 123 Volts AC - Disabled
4.6.1 Operational Notes

NOTE: For the algorithm to function, a CBC must be configured with the Voltage Threshold feature enabled, and a voltage setting must be made with the pins.
Overvoltage Timer
In the REMOTE mode, the length of continuous time the average voltage must exceed the overvoltage setpoint in order to initiate a capacitor switch trip operation. The Overvoltage Timer is fixed at four minutes and is not user changeable.
25
4.7 Communications
Undervoltage Timer
In the REMOTE mode, the length of continuous time the average voltage must be below the undervoltage setpoint in order to initiate a capacitor switch close operation. The Undervoltage Timer is fixed at four minutes and is not user changeable.
Relay Operate Time

The time duration in which the coil of either the Trip or Close relay is energized. The Relay Operate Time is fixed at 30 seconds.
4.7 Communications
The CBC is divided functionally into two major modules for service and communications interchangeability. Module One consists of a modified Load Control Receiver board (for radio) or a modified Load Management Terminal board (for carrier). Module Two consists of the Controller board, which includes the microcontroller relays, operator controls, and the power supply. (see Figure 3.2) The CBC uses a standard receiver using Cooper Power Systems' VERSACOM protocol for all signal reception, demodulation, addressing, and error checking.
4.7.1 CBC Communications Protocols

The Master Station to CBC communications use the VERSACOM protocol. CBC Serial Communications (from Receiver board to Controller):
Table 4.9 Communication Protocol Specs Spec Message Data Rate Interface Value 10-bit characters with one start bit, eight data bits, and one stop bit per ANSI X3.16. 1200 Baud TTL

4.7.2 CBC Receiver Board Data Port Specifications

The CBC receiver board data port specifications are:

Pin Number Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Pin 6 Pin 7 Signal Ground Signal Receive Signal Transmit Data Out Activate +5V Signal Ground
4.7.3 Bit Format for Data Messages

VERSACOM data messages are used for command and control of the CBC. Data messages are transmitted through the CBC's receiver electrical port without being translated by the receiver. A data message consists of six ten-bit characters, C0 through C5, where C0 is the first character transmitted. Each character consists of one start bit, eight data bits, and one stop bit. The eight data bits are defined as b7 through b0, where b0 is the low-order data bit. The start bit is the first bit transmitted and immediately precedes the low-order data bit; the last character bit transmitted is the stop bit.
4.7.4 Command Format

There are two commands, Trip and Close, used to instruct the CBC to operate the output relays. The following character data bits define the commands: TRIP: (714000000000)16 CLOSE: (718000000000)16 If the CBC receives a Trip command while it is in REMOTE mode, the Trip relay contacts close for 30 seconds and then open. These events are followed by the Reclose time, if the Reclose timer is enabled. If the CBC receives a Close command while it is in REMOTE mode, the Close Time Delay (if set) begins. After the Close Delay Time elapses, the Close relay contacts close for 30 seconds and then open.
27
4.8 Controller Module
In the REMOTE mode, the current operation must run the complete cycle before the CBC acknowledges another remote command. Refer to Functional Features on page 9 for more detailed descriptions of these operations. Other messages include Voltage Threshold Enable and Disable: Enable (71E000000000)16 Disable (71D000000000)16
4.8 Controller Module

This section explains the start-up response, operations, and power-down response for the CBC's controller board.
4.8.1 Start-Up Response

Upon cold start-up, the controller microprocessor performs a ROM Checksum to determine if there are any detectable errors in the processor. If an error is determined, the processor halts operations. The controller recovers the last known state of control output, which is stored in nonvolatile memory. If a last state (initialization) is not present, no bank status LEDs (Tripped, Closed, OV/UV Operation) are illuminated either internally or externally as an indication of a potential problem. The controller's start-up response is identical for all three CBC communications options (Carrier, Paging, and FM).
4.8.2 Controller Operations

An LED indicates the status of the controller's last output in LOCAL and REMOTE modes. In LOCAL mode, the Trip/Close switch is monitored for Trip or Close action. When the Mode switch is moved from LOCAL to REMOTE, the controller does not switch to REMOTE until all actions initiated in LOCAL are completed. The Close and Reclose timers are active in either mode. When the Mode switch is moved from REMOTE to LOCAL, in-process communications transfer immediately; however, if the output relay is active at the time of transfer, the relay remains active until the cycle is completed. If a transfer from REMOTE to LOCAL occurs while the Close timer is active, but before the Close relay has been activated, the relay will not close. If a transfer from REMOTE to LOCAL occurs at any time during a Trip cycle, the Trip will be completed before the actual transfer to LOCAL is made. The controller responds to overvoltage or undervoltage threshold setpoints in the REMOTE mode only. The criterion for voltage control is the AC supply voltage level of the CBC.
4.8.3 Controller Power-Down Response

The last state of control is stored in memory in the event of a power outage.
4.9 CBC Receiver Power Interface

The power supply for the CBC is in the controller board in the CBC base. After transformation, power is connected to the CBC receiver board in the door via a ribbon connector that mates to a pin connector on the receiver. The connector also serves to interconnect the controller board to the externally visible operational status LEDs on the receiver board that it controls.

4.13 Wiring Connections

The wiring connections of the CBC are described below.
4.13.1 Socket-Mount Capacitor Bank Controller

The CBC comes in a standard, four-blade socket mounting enclosure suitable for a ring-type seal. The door of the CBC can be both sealed and padlocked. External LEDs provide bank status, as well as receiver status and receiver-to-controller transmission status. Two blades are wired for 120 VAC power. The other two blades provide momentary 120 VAC 30-ampere control outputs for connection to the Trip and Close circuits of the capacitor bank's oil switches. These are normally energized for 30 seconds. The following diagram shows the rear view of the CBC:

4.14 Test Equipment

For CBC-2010 and 5010 units, the RSU-110 or CBC-Minder for Palm handhelds can be used to test the CBC equipment. Before using an RSU to communicate with the receiver, you must first unplug the serial communication cable, which is inside the CBC enclosure. The RSU connects to the CBC's receiver board serial port via a Comms Link Cable and an LCR Card Adapter (Part # 4075B59G01) to provide two-way communication functions, including receiver test operations, receiver configurations, and monitoring of receiver address and other parameters. The PCT-751 Portable Carrier Tester can be used to reprogram CBC-3010 Carrier units. The PCT uses either 120 VAC carrier signals or inductive coupling to reconfigure the CBC memory settings. The PCT-751 must correspond with the proper carrier frequency to function. No direct connection to the carrier board is allowed.
31
4.14 Test Equipment
An optical reader, which attaches to the Comms Link Cable, allows the RSU or PCT to read the receiver's internal memory data, such as the CBC's VERSACOM addresses. The optical reader obtains the data via the CBC's front panel optical interface (Data Report LED). To activate the front Data Report LED, first unplug the CBC's internal serial communication cable, which is inside the CBC enclosure (see Data LED on page 23). For the CBC-3010, note the Caution statement in CBC Receiver Power Interface on page 28.
