S C IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration System Instruction Manual
Overview
IntelliTeam II Mode
The IntelliTeam Designer software supports the ability to configure a system in the native IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration System mode of operation. This functionality is available in software revision 7.1.x and later. These instructions demonstrate how to set up, configure, and validate an IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration System with IntelliTeam Designer software.
The IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration System supports slower, less robust communication systems and can be used by customers who have deployed S&C automation equipment, such as IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupters, 6800 Series Automatic Switch Controls, and IntelliNode™ Interface Modules. This mode of operation sends coach messages between team members to collect operational data and perform isolation and restoration functions in the event of a fault or loss-of-voltage condition occurring on distribution feeders. This mode does not use runner messages like the IntelliTeam® SG Automatic Restoration System does while running in IntelliTeam II system compatibility mode. The runner messages require a higher speed, low-latency communication network
Setup and Configuration for Versions 7.1.x and 7.3.x
Setup and Configuration
Follow these steps to configure an IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration System when using IntelliTeam Designer versions 7.1.x and 7.3.x:
STEP 1. Draw a circuit using the IntelliTeam Designer application. See
S&C Instruction Sheet 1044-570, “IntelliTeam Designer: User’s Guide,” for
information about drawing circuits.
STEP 2. When the circuit drawing is completed, enter the necessary
attributes for the circuit.
STEP 3. For the IntelliTeam Options Enabled setting, select the ITII
option, as shown in **Figure 1.
Figure 1. The Team Attributes >IntelliTeam Options Enabled setting.**
STEP 4. For the IntelliTeam Options Enabled setting, select the ITII
option, as shown in **Figure 2.
Figure 2. The Substation Team Attributes >IntelliTeam Options Enabled
setting.**
STEP 5. Validate and save the circuit drawing. Correct any validation
errors if they occur.
STEP 6. When the circuit is successfully validated, open the
communication manager and push the netlist to the controls. See S&C
Instruction Sheet 1044-570, “IntelliTeam Designer: User’s Guide,” for
information on how to set up the Communication Manager and push a netlist.
STEP 7. When the netlists have been successfully pushed, click on the
Clear button in the Communication Manager screen to clear the netlists. This
will stop the IntelliTeam system runners. **See Figure 3.
Figure 3. The ITSG Communication Manager Clear button for clearing
netlists.**
Verification
When the devices are successfully configured and netlists have been cleared (using the steps in the previous section), verify the netlists have been removed from all IntelliTeamenabled devices. This is necessary because the netlists are self-healing, meaning a single netlist left in a single device can be propagated to other devices, which will re-enable runner messages. Follow these steps to perform the netlist-removal verification process on every device:
STEP 1. Verify the netlists have been cleared by looking for confirmation
in the Operation Log tab on the ITSG Communication Manager screen. See
Figure 4.
Figure 4. The Operation Log tab on the IntelliTeam SG system
Communication Manager screen.
STEP 2. Open the Intelli Link® Setup Software and verify the netlists
have been removed from all IntelliTeam system-enabled devices by going to the
IntelliTeam SG>Activity Monitoring screen and reviewing the Feeder Nets
section to make sure there is no Feeder NetID listed there. See Figure 5.
Figure 5. The IntelliTeam SG >Activity Monitoring screen – Feeder Nets
section.
STEP 3. Go to the Logs>Status Point Log screen, and find the status
description for
NET: ITII Mode and make sure it is active. See Figure 6.
Figure 6. The Logs >Status Point Log screen – NET: ITII Mode entry.
This procedure must be completed for each IntelliTeam system-enabled device in the system to ensure the netlists have been removed and the runners are not active. If any device is found to have a netlist or Feeder Net, either click on the IntelliTeam Designer communication manager Clear button to clear the netlists (see Figure 3 on page 4) or click on the Clear Feedr Net button in the Intelli Link software on the IntelliTeam SG>Activity Monitoring>Feeder Nets screen (see Figure 5 on page 5).
Setup and Configuration
Follow these steps to configure an IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration System when using IntelliTeam Designer version 7.5.x and later:
STEP 1. Draw a circuit using the IntelliTeam Designer application. See
S&C Instruction Sheet 1044-570, “IntelliTeam Designer: User’s Guide,” for
information about drawing circuits.
STEP 2. When the circuit drawing is completed, enter the necessary
attributes for the circuit.
STEP 3. For the IntelliTeam Options Enabled setting, select the ITII
option, as shown in **Figure 7.
Figure 7. The Team Attributes >IntelliTeam Options Enabled setting.**
STEP 4. For the IntelliTeam Options Enabled setting, select the ITII
option, as shown in **Figure 8.
Figure 8. The Logs >Status Point Log screen.**
STEP 5. Go to Options>IntelliTeam II Setpoint Configuration and select
the firmware version of the devices in the circuit. See Figure 9.
Figure 9. The IntelliTeam II Setpoint Configuration entry.
Note: The setpoint files that are created by IntelliTeam Designer will be
based on the firmware version selected and no mixed firmware setpoint files
can be created.
Note: All devices must be on the same firmware version for the push
process to proceed if IntelliTeam Designer is used to send the setpoint files.
STEP 6. Go to the File>Save As menu entry and save the circuit.
Note: If the circuit is not saved before validation is attempted an error
message will occur stating the circuit must be saved before setpoints can be
created. See Figure 10.
Figure 10. The Setpoint Generation Error dialog box.
STEP 7. Validate the circuit. Correct any validation errors if they occur
and re-validate the circuit. When the Validation button is clicked on and no
validation errors occur, the setpoint files will be created by the IntelliTeam
Designer application and saved to the local drive where the circuit was saved.
See Figure 11.
