¡°Sampling¡±, ¡°Parameter settings¡±, ¡°Events recording¡±, ¡°Tripping command¡±,

¡°Running state¡±, ¡°Other Functions¡±for the protection.
At the right side of the lower part of this interface, the internal
connection status of the dual-CPU system is shown: be connected or
disconnected, as well as that of the protection with the background
administrator.

Ø Monitoring and Setting

In the window of ¡°Main Interface¡±, a list of all the protections provided
for a project is shown at the left side. If you need details of a protection,
click the protection to enter into the interface ¡°Monitoring and Setting¡±of
this protection. The three parts are shown on the interface.

Fig.4 Monitoring and Setting

1. Signals
During normal operation, the signal lamps are dark green. Once any
fault occurs in the power system, the associated signal lamps will
become red, which are self-holding and consistent with the signal lamps
at the panel of the device. If the protection acts and the faults have been
deleted, the button ¡°signal reset¡± can be used to reset the signals.
If the faults still exist, the button ¡°signal reset¡± is invalid.
Note：The button ¡°signal reset¡± at the software interface can
reset the signal lamps both at the interface and on the panel

4
 Operation Manual Instruction of MMI
DGT-801 Digital Generator Transformer Protection

simultaneously. But the button ¡°Reset¡±at the panel can only reset the
signal lamps at the panel and it is invalid for the interface.
There are a few special protections, whose signal lamps are not
self-retaining, e.g. ¡°ventilation starting protection¡± etc. For these
protection signals, once the fault is cleared, the signal lamps will return
immediately.

2. Change settings
Click the blank block in the setting part, a digital keyboard will pop
out. As the setting inputs are completed, click the button of ¡°Debug
Password¡± and input the password for commission, and click the
button of ¡°Runtime Password¡± to confirm that. Finally, click the
button of ¡°Change Device Parameter¡± to write the amended
settings into the device.
Note: Each setting has its range. Once the overreach occurs, the
indication for error ¡°Setting overreach¡±will be shown.

3. Operational Parameters
There are the electric parameters to be monitored, e.g. differential
current, resultant current and negative sequence voltage, etc. in
¡°Differential protection¡±.
A user can use the buttons ¡°Page up¡± and the button ¡°Page
down¡± at the right side of the upon part to switch to another
protection. The user can also use the button ¡°return¡± at the left
side of the lower part of the interface to return to the Main Interface,
where the user can click the name of another protection to enter into its
interface ¡°Monitoring and Setting¡±.

Ø Analog Input
This is the interface ¡°Analog Input¡±, where shows the channel number,
name and the rms of the analog input. Here, the channel means analogue
input, and the channel is expressed by ¡°CH¡±. Since the DGT801A Protection
is a dual-CPU system, which contains CPU(O) and CPU(E) of the same
functions, the value in different CPU system of the same channel should be
approximate.

5
 Operation Manual Instruction of MMI
DGT-801 Digital Generator Transformer Protection

Fig.5 Analog Inputs

The channel CH00 and the channel CH01 are reference channels, which
can be used as the phase reference for the single channel. Other channels are
defined by the scheme. Those channels that have not been used will be
displayed as the indication ¡°Channels not used¡±.
All the analog input channels can be viewed in groups of eight. The
switching of the channel display can be implemented by the buttons
( Line up), (Line down), (Page up), or ( Page down)
at the right side of the upon part of the interface.

Ø Monitoring
The interface contains the four parts to be displayed: Signal status,
Binary-in status, Binary output status and Plate status.
The status switching will be executed by clicking the functional keys at
the right side of the interface.
1．Signal status
The window lists the signal names of all the protections in a project.
During normal operation, the signal lamps are sap green. Once the
protection operates, the corresponding signal lamps will turn into red and
self-holding.
But the 16th and the 32th signal lamps are special, which are usually
designed not self-holding. When there is no any fault in the protected
zone, the signal lamp would return sap green. Such protection is only a

6

DGT-801 Digital Generator Transformer Protection

few, e.g., Transformer ventilation protection, or the signals defined

specially by the user.

Fig.6-1 Monitoring (Signal)

2．Binary inputs
The window lists the statuses of all the binary inputs (switching
variables) of the project. As the contacts of the switch are closed, the
associated graphic indication of its status is ¡°closed¡±. On the contrary, it
is ¡°open¡±as the contacts are open.

Fig.6-2 Monitoring (Binary Input)

7
 Operation Manual Instruction of MMI
DGT-801 Digital Generator Transformer Protection

3．Binary output
The window lists the statuses of all binary outputs (tripping outputs)
of the project.

Fig.6-3 Monitoring (Binary Output / Tripping Signal)

During normal operation or the protection is activated not to trip but

to send signal, the lamps are sap green. If the protection is activated to
trip, the signal lamps of the associated tripping switches turn into red,
which are corresponding one by one with the output tripping lamps at the
panel and synchronously lighten and reset.
Note: The output lamps are not self-holding.

4．Plate
The window lists the statuses of the press plates for the on/off
operations of the protections that would be activated to output tripping.
There are two kinds of the graphic indications: connected or
disconnected. If the press plate for an output of tripping is pulled out, the
associated graphic indication will become ¡°disconnected¡±, when the
output of tripping for the protection is futile.

beside the pattern ¡°Events¡±on the page ¡°Main Interface¡±to clue that there
would be a fault take place in the protected zone.

Fig.9-4 Events ( Indication )

The indication ¡°New¡±will not disappear until the user enter the submenu
【Events->Trip event】to read the new records of tripping event.
Click the button (Page up), or (Page down) at the right
side of the upon pat of the interface to read other records.
Click the button (Dustbin), all the event would be deleted.

Ø Tripping Command
The Tripping Command, as a test, can simulate functional operation of
signaling or tripping without analogue/binary inputs. That would simplify
the drive test and facilitate routine repair and maintenance.
Since some of them can disrupt the normal operation of the device, the
tests can only be done when the plant is out of service, or with the tripping
and signaling circuits externally disconnected if in service. And the
passwords must be entered to obtain the test permit.

(Runtime Password) and input them, then click the button (Change
device parameter) at the right side of the lower part, the output will be
activated. Now the associated signal lamps become red both at the window
and at the device, as well as the output lamps. These lamps are sap green
under normal conditions.

Fig.10-3 Trip Commands

Click the button (Finish the test) at the right side of the lower part
of the interface, the test is finished. The outputting lamps return to be sap
green, but the signal lamps on device are self-holding, so that user need click
the button (Signal Reset) on the device to make return to normal status.

Ø Run State
The window displays the on/off status of all the protections for the
project. The sap green signal lamps indicate the off status of the protection
and the bright green signal lamps indicate the on status. If the status of a
protection is off, that means the protection is out of service or in cold
standby status. In other words, the protection will not deal with any external
analogue inputs and binary inputs, so that it must not bring any output.

15

(Runtime Password) to confirm it, and then click the button (Change
device parameter) finally. Afterwards the in-service status of the protection
will be altered. It can be seen that the signal lamps for the in-service
protections are bright green, while that for the out-of-service protections are
sap green.
Click the button (Select All), all the protections can be selected.
And click the button (Cancel All), the selected status of all the
protections can be cleared.

¡°Set panel time¡±, the time in device will be consistent with the system
time, hence as same as the ¡°User clock¡±.

2. hardware self-check:
As the protection device is energized, the self-check programs
contained in the CPU systems begin their operations. They continuously
check various functional parts in the CPU systems. Once the abnormal
conditions are found, the system will enter fault processing mode: the
faulted CPU system in the dual-CPU system will be cleared from the
parallel operation, and the other normal CPU system will operate
independently. In the same time, the warning signal ¡°Protection fault¡±
will be sent out.
The hardware self-check programs monitors CPU board, Binary
Input board，Binary Output board and I/O board. There are four status
for self-check functions:
(1) normal status
(2) abnormal status: error in some functional parts;
(3) unknown status: abnormal communication between protection;
device or background management system;
(4) inexistent status: hardware unpresent.
