name of the substation, bay and device
The Main tab shows the current state
and status of a switch
the state can be e.g. Open
the status can be e.g. authorization,
blocking, reservation or error
message etc.
The available functions are based on
the configuration of the corresponding
standard function
5.7 Switch control, cont.
The Main tab is also used for operating

the switch device
If controlling is possible, the Open
device or Close device button is active
The secured object control is
responsible for the following tasks:
ensures that the command source
is authorized to operate the object
ensures that only one command
source at a time can control the
object
allows only safe commands
(interlocking)
supervises command execution
ABB Group
5.7.1 Forced operation
ABB Group
There are four different functions on the

Forced operation tab
System level override
Release device reservation
Forced open/close control
Device level override with the IEC
61850 protocol
Control with interlocking bypass
Control with synchrocheck bypass
5.7.1.1 Release device reservation
Monitor 1
Monitor 2
If an object is selected on another

display or it is under command and you
want to have the control for yourself,
click Release device reservation
When this is done Control dialogs
disappear from other operators
On the second monitor the Open device
or Close device buttons will be activated
The performed operation will be normal
control operation
ABB Group
5.7.1.2 Forced open/close control
ABB Group
The internal blockings of SYS600 and

control blockings of Power Process
Library standard functions can be
bypassed with Forced open/close
control
e.g the station or bay L/R switch is
not updated
the disconnector of secondary
substation is not updated
CB is in the middle position (stuck)
However, this does not disable any
interlockings or other IED measures,
that is, no special bypass messages are
sent to the IEDs
If normal operation is possible, then also
forced operations is possible
5.7.1.3 Device level override
Can be used with IEC 61850 protocol

If the switch device is interlocked or
syncrocheck inhibits the control, the
corresponding check-box can be
selected and switch device can be
controlled in a normal way
Event List shows that controlling was
done with bypass option
ABB Group
5.7.2 Simulation
ABB Group
During some communication problems

or field device failure, the position of the
switch is not automatically known by the
system
By simulation the consistency of the
database can be maintained manually in
case of an abnormal situation
Simulation state is indicated on the
process displays in blue color and with
messages on control dialogs
5.7.3 Operation counter
Counts the number of changes in the

Blocking Display
Exercise 7 will familiarize you with some blockings and deblockings and
reading the Blocking Display.
The Blocking menu and toolbar are explained in the end of exercise 7.
7.1 Blocking with control dialog

1. Select the process display Valley > Station L/R Switch dialog >
Blocking > set Update blocked > Apply.
Almost all graphical power process symbols in the process display

have magenta color. This means that all input process objects
under this station name are Update blocked. In the process display
there are measurements with the graph type Value, simple, which
can show only black text, but if you open the measurement control
dialog, the blocking information is anyway available.
2. Open the Blocking Display from the Navigate menu.
When the Blocking Display is opened, it shows the present blocking
situation of the process objects. The Blocking Display can be
updated with the Refresh button if there have been changes in the
process database while the Blocking Display has been open.
50
EXERCISE 7

1. In the Station L/R Switch dialog deblock Update > block Control
> Apply.
The graphical power process symbols which are connected to

controlling process objects (output objects) have now brown color.
This means that all output process objects under this station name
are Control blocked.
2. Open the Blocking Display or click Refresh Blockings.
3. Despite the station or bay level blocking, you can for example
separately deblock Control of the circuit breaker.
Open the Switch control dialog of Q0 in the bay City center >
Blocking tab > deblock Control > Apply.
After a while the power process symbol of Q0 should have a
normal status (no blockings).
If you now select again the Blocking tab of the Station L/R Switch
dialog, you should notice that the selection mark in the Control
blocking check box is slightly dimmed.
Dimming is used to indicate discrepancy in the blockings. The
