Defining a Bay Panel Type

With the selection of a Bay Panel type, the following definitions are made:

▪	Manually operated switchgear units with status signals to be processed.
▪	Switchgear units to be controlled and signaled by the P632.
▪	The bay interlock conditions for the “Open” / “Close” command control of the switchgear units, for operation with or without the station interlock function.

When a Bay Panel type is selected, the binary inputs for switchgear status signals and the output relays for control commands are configured automatically if MAIN: Auto-assignment I/O is set to Yes. If set to No, the user will need to carry out this configuration. The list of Bay Panel types in the Appendix shows which binary inputs and output relays have been assigned signals or commands for control of switchgear units in the case of automatic configuration.

Setting options for the P632 and the different possibilities to integrate a switchgear unit into the functional sequence of the P632 (processing of status signals only or controlling and signaling) will be explained below, using one switchgear unit as an example. Function group DEV01 will be used throughout in this example. If a signal is identified in the function diagrams by function group “COMM1:” with a blank address [--- ---], it will indicate that it is a signal to or from the communication interface and that it has not been assigned an address.
