Description

The Protection Relay block implements a protection relay for the hardware and the motor with definite minimum time (DMT) trip characteristics using the reference limit, feedback, and reset input signals. In the event of a fault, the block generates a latched fault signal that you can use to protect the hardware and the motor. You can reset the fault latch using an external reset signal.

Ports

Input

expand all

Upper limit for current in the feedback loop, so as to provide overcurrent protection. The block generates a latched fault signal when the current in the feedback loop (Ifb) exceeds this value.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to Overcurrent.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Actual current in the feedback loop at a given time.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to Overcurrent.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Speed limit of the rotor (in RPM). The block generates a latched fault signal when the rotor speed (⍵m fb) exceeds this value.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to Overspeed.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Actual rotor speed at a given time.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to Overspeed.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Upper limit for voltage across the feedback loop. The block generates a latched fault signal when the voltage across the feedback loop (Vfb) exceeds this value.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to Overvoltage.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Lower limit for voltage across the feedback loop. The block generates a latched fault signal when the voltage across the feedback loop (Vfb) is less than this value.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to Undervoltage.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Actual voltage across the feedback loop at a given time.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set Select Protection to either Overvoltage or Undervoltage.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

External pulse that resets the fault latch.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Output

expand all

Latched fault signal that the block generates during the overcurrent, overspeed, overvoltage, and undervoltage conditions to protect the hardware and the motor.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Parameters
