Advanced TransPlay<br />

Advanced TransPlay enables the CMC system to test with transient signals. Transient signal<br />
data, obtained from fault recorders, CMC 356 or CMC 256plus with EnerLyzer, or network<br />
simulation programs, can be loaded and viewed, processed, and replayed with Advanced<br />
TransPlay. The reaction of the protection device tested with such signals is recorded and<br />
assessed, and a test report is generated.<br />
This makes it an ideal tool for<br />
• troubleshooting with fault records<br />
• relay evaluation with transient files (e.g. EMTP calculations)<br />
• end-to-end testing<br />
Advanced TransPlay supports the following file formats:<br />
COMTRADE (C37.111-1991 and P37.111/D11-1999), PL4 and CSV.<br />
After a transient file has been loaded, the part of the signal to be replayed is selected by<br />
markers. It is possible to repeat parts of the signal, e.g. for extending the pre-fault time. Markers<br />
can be set in order to point out significant events in the recording, such as fault inception,<br />
starting, tripping, etc. These markers are the basis for time measurements.<br />
Besides playing back voltage and current signals, Advanced TransPlay can also replay the binary<br />
signals in a fault recording via the CMC's binary outputs. Additional binary signals (e.g. carrier<br />
send/received signals from communication-based schemes) can be added. During playback,<br />
the selected voltage, current, and binary signals are applied to the protection device. Playback<br />
can be synchronized via GPS, IRIG-B protocol or by a time pulse applied to a binary input.<br />
The reaction of the protection device is measured and assessed on the basis of time measurements.<br />
Absolute and relative time measurements are possible:<br />
• Absolute time measurements determine for instance starting or trip times of the relay<br />
during signal playback<br />
• Relative measurements compare the relay's reaction during playback to its behavior stored<br />
in the recording (reference)<br />
This makes it possible to investigate<br />
• if the relay scatters (differences between recording and actual behavior during playback)<br />
• how a different protection device operates under the same conditions<br />
Advanced TransPlay provides a repetition mode; the individual results for each repetition, as<br />
well as average and standard deviation values (statistic functions), are displayed.<br />
