Cybersecurity information 1
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity functions that support
the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
cybersecurity concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For additional information on industrial cybersecurity measures that may be implemented,
please visit
https://www.siemens.com/cybersecurity-industry.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure
to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Cybersecurity
RSS Feed under

Basic principles 2
2.1 Information on data protection
Siemens observes standard data protection principles, in particular the principle of privacy by
design.
For this product this means:
This product does not process or store any personal data, only technical function data (e.g.
time stamps). If you link this data with other data (e.g. shift schedules) or store personal
data on the same storage medium (e.g. hard disk), and thus establish a link to a person or
persons, then you are responsible for ensuring compliance with the relevant data protection
regulations.

2.2 Product specific security information

Product specific security information

This library is designed to run under the PCS 7 environment. Therefore, it is recommended to
follow the security principles for PCS 7 to support a secure operation, such as:
• User rights
• Password protection of
– WinCC
– SENTRON devices
For more information, click here (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/
109973483).

2.3 Supported hardware

2.3.1 Supported hardware

This library supports the 3VL molded case circuit breaker and the 3WL air circuit breaker.

Programming and Operating Manual, 05/2025 9
Basic principles
2.3 Supported hardware

2.3.2 I/O configuration

The following I/O configuration is set as default for the 3VL molded case circuit breaker:
• Outputs: 2 control bytes
• Inputs: 2 status bytes and 12 bytes measured values
With the 3VL, this configuration corresponds to basic type 1.

Figure 2-1 3VL / 3WL I/O configuration with basic type 1

These I/O configurations are taken into account for the 3WL air circuit breaker:
• Outputs: 2 control bytes
• Inputs: 2 status bytes and 12-byte, 26-byte or 42-byte measured values.
With the 3WL, these configurations correspond to the basic type 1, basic type 2 or basic
type 3.

Figure 2-2 3WL I/O configuration with basic type 2

Figure 2-3 3WL I/O configuration with basic type 3

The start addresses of inputs and outputs must be located in the process image partition that
is assigned to the watchdog interrupt OB in which the Drv3WLVL driver block is called.
If you link the 3WL air circuit breaker via PROFINET IO, you have to use basic type 3.

Figure 2-4 3WL I/O configuration with PROFINET IO

2.3.3 Hardware configuration

The driver concept for the 3WL / 3VL supports the operation of the 3WL / 3VL as DP slave directly
on the DP master system as well as following a DP/PA-Link in an H‑system.
In addition, you can also integrate the 3WL circuit breaker into SIMATIC PCS 7 via PROFINET IO.
The 3WL / 3VL is integrated via the GSD file Siem80C0.gsd.
For PROFINET IO, use the GSDML file GSDML-V2.4-Siemens-3WL-20210423.xml.

• (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/21478942)

Note
The 3WL / 3VL must be configured as "DPV1" slave.

Figure 2-5 Properties of the 3WL / 3VL directly connected to the DP master system

If the 3WL / 3VL is operated in an H system downstream of a DP/PA-Link, the 3WL / 3VL must
be configured as a DPV0 slave. All acyclic services and interrupts are deactivated. This means
that the device no longer outputs diagnostic interrupts and data records can no longer be
read from the device. To find how this affects the blocks' behavior, see the chapters:
• Diagnostics block DIA_WLVL (Page 97)
• Driver block Drv3WLVL (Page 101)

2.4.2 Configuring in CFC

The two bytes of the process image inputs (PII) are transferred from the 3WL/3VL circuit breaker
based on the logical address configured for the module. This is a manual configuration that a
user has to configure.

Procedure
Configuring with HW Config:
1. Configure the 3WL/3VL circuit breaker at HW config.
2. Open CFC-Editor.
3. Instantiate the Cb3WLVL template from the library PCS 7 3WLVL Lib V100 SP1 >
Blocks+Templates\Templates > Select Cb3WLVL template, drag and drop it to the CFC chart.
4. Refer to the input address of the 3WL/3VL circuit breaker at HW Config and assign this address
to the "Input parameter AddrIn of the Cb3WLVL template".
Compile the CFC chart using the "Generate Module Driver" function.
Refer "Using templates (Page 191)" for further information on interconnections.

2.7 Driver generator

2.7.1 Generate Module Drivers

The "Generate Module Drivers" function is available for signal processing in PCS 7. Once the
hardware has been configured in HW Config and the technological functions have been
configured in the CFC, this function automatically generates, interconnects, and parameterizes
the required module driver blocks, to the extent possible. These module driver blocks are
responsible for diagnosing and reporting errors during signal processing.
The Setup program installs XML files for connecting 3WL/3VL with the driver generator.

Purpose of the driver generator

A template is inserted for each 3WL/3VL device. The connection to the hardware is established
using the logical address of the device.
The "Generate Module Driver" option inserts the additionally required blocks, and then
connects and assigns the corresponding parameters.

Generate module driver settings

These options can be used to disable / enable all diagnostic alarm messages at the MOD_SWT/
MOD_SWTL block.
• Default setting at the blocks: Enabled
• Set the "Leave unchanged" option (default) to retain current settings.

Note
To have similar behavior between this library and the PCS 7 Basis Library, a PCS 7 Basis Library
version supporting this functionality needs to be installed as well.

Supported modules and configurations

The driver concept for 3WL/3VL modules takes into account the operation of 3WL/3VL control
functions:
• As a DP slave direct on the DP master system (connection via GSD)
• As a DP slave behind a Y-Link (connection via GSD)
• As a PROFINET IO Device direct on the PN-IO Controller (with or without media redundancy,
connection via GSDML).
• As a DP slave behind IE/PB Link PN IO and IE/PB Link HA (connection via GSD).
• As a PROFINET IO device using system redundancy behind Y-Switch (connection via GSDML).

2.7.2 Object lists and action lists

Hardware modules, among other things, are configured in HW Config.

Description
The object lists and the action lists are used to generate the module drivers for these hardware
modules.
The object list contains a unique object identification number for each of these hardware
modules. Each object list is assigned to a particular hardware configuration.
The action list contains a list of actions. These actions must be executed for the object
identification numbers that appear in the object list. Examples of such actions include:
• Assigning the device address
• Interconnecting the input and output parameters of the driver block
The "Generate Module Driver" function generates the module drivers when the CFC is
compiled.

3.1.3 Scalable faceplates

The faceplates will be scaled from 50% to 200%. The value to scale will be given in the internal
variable "@APLFaceplateScaleFactor". Default value is 100. The faceplates will be scaled up from
101% to 200%, by providing a value in a range of 101-200 in internal variable. Similarly the
faceplates will be scaled down from 50% to 99% , by providing a value in the range 50-99. The
reference for calculation is default size of the faceplates which is 100(%). It means if the value
given is 150, the faceplates will be scaled up by 50% of the default size.

Note
Faceplate must be reopened after changing the scale value. Already opened faceplate cannot be
scaled up if the scale value is changed.

Example: The screenshot below shows the faceplates scaled up by providing the value of
200, scaled down by providing the value of 50 for the internal variable.

4.4 Quality code

The process values of the function blocks are generated and transferred along with a signal
status as a structured variable. This contains a statement about the signal quality. The function
blocks determine the appropriate signal status for their process outputs depending on the signal
status of the process inputs. The signal status is formed from the input parameters according to
the priority table below (highest priority is 0). This group status is displayed in the status bar of
the faceplate and of the block icon. The signal status is displayed for each individual parameter
in the faceplate next to the process values.

4.5 Reading and writing data records

The Drv3WLVL block uses RDREC function to read and process values from data record. The "Read
Data" button in the faceplates is used to update the displayed values by calling the RDREC at the
function block. Reading can only be performed successfully if the function Write to data records
WRREC is not executed at the same time.
The Drv3WLVL block uses WRREC function to write the CPU date and time to 3WL/3VL circuit
breakers.
The DIA_WLVL block uses RDSYSST function to fetch the device availability status.
Read data records can only be performed in the Auto, Manual, Local modes of the Cb3WLVL
block. The RDREC can be suppressed using Feature.Bit12.
Write data records can only be performed in the Auto, Manual, Local modes of the Cb3WLVL
block. The WRREC can be suppressed using Feature.Bit13.

Note
1. Any parameter change with an initial write must have a valid read call executed, which can
be checked with latest timestamp at the faceplate.
2. After full download or a warm restart, the write function would require a successful read
execution.

user
• PROFINET IO: General CM error
80A4 Bus communication disrupted
80A7 DP slave or modules is occupied (temporary error)
80A9 Application – Feature/Function is not supported.
DPV1 service <> DS-Read/ DS-Write
80C0 The module has the data record, however there are no read data yet.
80C2 The module currently processes the maximum possible jobs for a CPU.
80C3 The required operating resources (memory, etc.) are currently occupied.
80C4 Internal temporary error. Job could not be carried out.
Repeat the job. If this error occurs often, check your installation for sources of elec‐
trical interference.
80C5 Distributed I/Os not available
80C6 Data record transfer was canceled due to priority class cancellation.
80C7 Job cancelled due to restart (warm restart) or cold restart of DP master.

Handling temporary errors:

If any of the above mentioned errors are detected, the function calls are executed again.
Such persistent calls might lead to loading of the CPU work memory. To prevent this,
following reset mechanisms are provided

Dynamic reset:
To prevent loading of CPU work memory, the handling of temporary errors has been
enhanced such that the maximum count of these repetitive calls is configured by the input
parameter ReSFxTrCnt/RESFXTRCNT (Drv3WLVL/DIA_WLVL), beyond which the error is
reset by terminating the RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST call dynamically with a return code 16#7000
at the output parameter RDSYSSTAT/RdStat/WrStat.
If the return code is not equal to 16#7000 then the termination will be repeated for the
number of user configured cycle times at the input parameter ReSFxFlCnt/RESFXFLCNT
(Drv3WlVL/DIA_WLVL).

Reset:
Reset can be triggered irrespective of temporary/permanent error, if the user wants to make
sure that the block RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST call is not occupying the CPU work memory.
For Drv3WLVL block, reset can be performed for RDREC/WRREC by setting input parameter
• CallRst = Reset

76 Programming and Operating Manual, 05/2025
 Functions for all blocks
4.5 Reading and writing data records

For DIA _WLVL block, reset can be performed for RDSYSST by setting input parameter
• CALLRST = Reset

Handling permanent error:

Any error other than temporary error is considered as a permanent error. On the detection
of permanent errors, the RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST call execution stops. The permanent error
needs to be rectified before initiating a new call.

Monitoring Temporary and Permanent errors:

• The RDREC/WRREC call return code is transferred to output parameters RdStat/WrStat at
the Drv3WLVL block.
• The RDSYSST call return code is transferred to output parameters RDSYSSTAT at DIA_WLVL
block.
• The RDREC/WRREC call failure error is displayed at:
– Cb3WLVL faceplate standard view and overview view.
– Cb3WLVL Block icons.
• If one or more read/write errors happen at the same time, then the recent error is always
displayed at the standard view.
• Respective alarm based on Read Failure/Write Failure/Station Diagnostics Failure will be
displayed at respective alarm message window.
• During temporary error, "Read Data" button at all faceplate views will be disabled.

• The configurable execution counter ReSFxTrCnt /RESFXTRCNT value will be used to

define the number of cycles the RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST call repeated in case of temporary
error.
• The configurable termination counter ReSFxFlCnt /RESFXFLCNT value will be used to
define the number of cycles the RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST call repeated in case of self healing
mechanism i.e. dynamic reset.
• The parameter values are reverted to their last valid values in below cases:
– When the input value is out of range.
– During the execution/termination of RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST.

4.9.1 Setting the startup response

Feature bit
Number of the Feature bit: 0
You define the startup response of the function blocks using this Feature bit.

Note
This Feature bit has no function in "out of service" mode. The process tag remains in "out of
service" mode following warm restart of the CPU.

Note
The restart routine of the blocks resets the following trip point outputs in the OB100 execution:
• CLx_Ax_Act
• CLx_Wx_Act
This causes an outgoing message on initialization of the Alarm8_P in OB100, and an incoming
message following expiry of the RunUpCyc counter at the cyclic interrupt level.

Note
In the case of full download with AS stop, the blocks (for Feature.Bit0 = 1) cannot continue
to run in their previous mode following restart.

Default setting: 0

Bit = 0: Starting the block in manual mode

Bit = 1: Starting the block in the last main mode

4.9.2 Characteristics for the "out of service" mode

Feature bit
Number of the Feature bit: 1
You use this Feature bit to define the characteristics of the technological block depending on
the interconnectable input parameter OosLi = 1.
Default setting: 0

Bit = 0: The status "In progress" is displayed in the faceplate of the assigned technological block
and in the block icon (see below). A 0-1 edge change of the OosLi input parameter has
no further effect on the behavior of the technological block. The previous state is re‐
tained. No change is made to "out of service" mode.
Bit = 1: A switchover to "Out of service" mode is made provided the block is in "Manual mode".
If this requirement is not met, the mode does not change. The "In progress" status is
displayed in the faceplate of the assigned technological block and in the block icon
regardless of the change of operating mode. No message is output, whether the mode
has been changed or not.

two 1-active control inputs (pushbuttons).
The Feature bit affects the following control inputs:
• Mode switchover (parameter AutModLi and ManModLi)
• Switching commands "Off" and "On" (parameter OffAut and OnAut)
Default setting: 0

Bit = 0: Pushbutton Every automatic command is assigned a control input. This is latching
mode: and is 1‑active.
Mode:
• AutModLi = 1 for setting "Automatic" mode
• ManModLi = 1 for setting "Manual" mode
Switching commands:
• OffAut = 1 for the switching command "Off"
• OnAut = 1 for the switching command "On"
Bit = 1: Switch Two steady-state automatic commands are assigned to one control
mode: input.
Mode:
• AutModLi = 1 for setting "Automatic" mode
• AutModLi = 0 for setting "Manual" mode
Switching commands:
• OnAut = 0 for the switching command "Off"
• OnAut = 1 for the switching command "On"
The inputs ManModiLi and OffAut have no effect.

4.9.6 Define the switch type

Feature bit
Number of the Feature bit: 5
This Feature bit is used to define whether a 3VL molded-case circuit breaker or a 3WL air
circuit breaker is used.

Note
As the control bytes and the switch state are different with the 3VL and the 3WL, the switch type
must be defined using this Feature bit.

4.9.8 Read the configuration automatically

Feature bit
Number of the Feature bit: 8
You use this Feature bit to define whether or not the configuration data is read out
automatically at restart of the controller (OB100) or restoration of accessibility to 3WL / 3VL
via PROFIBUS (OB86, rack restore).
If the 3WL / 3VL is connected in an H system downstream of a DP/PA-Link, the configuration
data are not read. In this case, setting Feature bit 8 has no effect.
The configuration data encompasses the following values:
• Diagnostic data
• Measured values
• Parameters of the protection function

Note
The configuration data are read out via acyclic services. Since only 8 cyclic services can be run
simultaneously on each PROFIBUS line, the execution can be delayed considerably. This can be
the case, for example, if all devices are reading out their configuration data at the same time
after a return of the PROFIBUS line. If more than eight devices are using the acyclic services, we
recommend that Feature bit 8 not be set. Instead, update the configuration data in the faceplate
via the parameter view or the specific measured value view after a change.

4.9.18 Enable local operator permission

Feature bit
Number of the Feature bit: 24
You use this Feature bit to activate local operation for a technological block. The local
operator permission is an upstream operator permission. It is determined prior to the
operator permissions of the user administration and prior to the enabling of the block and is
implemented via the standard OpStations APL block. You can find more details in the online
help of the OpStations block.
If there is no local operator permission, operation of a block instance on an OS is generally
disabled. If local operator permission is given, operator permission is determined normally
via user administration and the block.
The local operator permission is set instance-specific. This means that block instances are
enabled and disabled independently of each other for an operator input at an operator

Diagnostics block DIA_WLVL 5
5.1 Description of DIA_WLVL

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 1742

Family: SENTRON

Area of application of the DIA_WLVL

The block is used for the following applications:
• Monitoring a 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker

Operating principle
The DIA_WLVL block handles the diagnostics of the 3WL / 3VL circuit breakers. The diagnostic
information of the 3WL / 3VL are forwarded to the block Drv3WLVL. The DIA_WLVL block forms
the quality code (signal status) of the 3WL / 3VL and forwards this to the Drv3WLVL block.

Configuration
When the CFC function "Generate module driver" is used, the following is carried out
automatically:
• The DIA_WLVL block is integrated into OB1, OB40, OB70, OB72, OB82, OB83, OB85, OB86
and OB100 in its runtime group after the runtime group of the OB_DIAG1 block.
• Parameters are assigned for the inputs SUBN1_ID, SUBN2_ID, SUBN_TYP, RACK_NO,
DPA_LINK and PNIODVC.
• The logical start address LADDR of the device is parameterized.
• The diagnostic address DADDR of the device is parameterized.
• The EN and RACKF inputs are interconnected to the EN_F, QRACKF and SUBN1ERR
outputs of the upstream block OB_DIAG1 / OB_DIAG1_PN.
• The input DIAG_REQ is interconnected with the output DiagReq of the Drv3WLVL block.
• The SUBN1ACT input is connected to SUBN1ACT output of the upstream block OB_DIAG1/
OB_DIAG1_PN.
• The output QUALITY is interconnected with the input ST of the Drv3WLVL block.
• The output QDIAG_INF is interconnected with the input DiagInf of the Drv3WLVL block.

5.2 Functions of DIA_WLVL

Startup characteristics
The module ID of the addressed DP slave is read out. It is hereby checked whether this module
ID matches the configured module ID. If this is not the case, the output QMODF (module fault) is
set.
In the case of interfacing via PROFINET IO, a check is made as to whether the addressed PN
device exists. If this is not the case, the output QMODF (module fault) is set.

5.2 Functions of DIA_WLVL

The functions for this block are listed in the following.

Read diagnostic data of 3WL / 3VL

If the Cb3WLVL breaker block sends a request at input DIAG_REQ, the system function RDSYSST
(SFC51) reads out the device-specific diagnostic data. This occurs if one of the following
conditions is met:
• The release for maintenance is set in the parameter view of the faceplate of the Cb3WLVL
block.
• The Reset maintenance information and counter command is sent in the parameter view of
the faceplate of the Cb3WLVL block.
• The diagnostic data is read cyclically if a time > 0 is set at the DiaReqT parameter of the
Cb3WLVL block.
Time default: 2 min
Since the 3WL / 3VL in an H system switches to DPV0 mode downstream of a DP/PA-Link, the
device-specific diagnostic data cannot be read.
The diagnostic data in OB82 are evaluated using the connection via PROFINET IO.
The read information is transferred to the Drv3WLVL blocks where it is evaluated.
The diagnostic data can also be displayed on a Maintenance Station (MS).
The diagnostic events are assigned to the maintenance status as follows:

Diagnostic event Maintenance status QUALITY PA_DIAG

Immediate maintenance of main contacts Maintenance require‐ 16#00 16#00000100
ment high
Perform visual inspection on main contacts Maintenance require‐ 16#68 16#00000200
ment average

Setting the outputs OMODE

If a higher-level error is present, the HighWord of the output OMODE is set to 16#4000****. For
additional information, refer to chapter "Error response of DIA_WLVL (Page 99)", section
"Higher-level errors".

6.1 Description of Drv3WLVL

Object name (type + number) and family

Type + number: FB 2595

Family: SENTRON

Area of application of the Drv3WLVL

The block is used for the following applications:
• Transfer of cyclic and acyclic data from and to a 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker

Operating principle
The block reads and writes cyclically all cyclic data of a 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker from and to the
process image.
The block reads and writes acyclic data of the 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker from and to the device.

Configuration
Integrate the block in the CFC editor into a cyclic interrupt OB, for example into OB30 to OB38.
When the CFC function "Generate module driver" is used, the following is carried out
automatically:
• The member variables of the input structure Addr are parameterized with the addresses
configured in HW Config. The input Addr.BasicType contains the number of the basic type
used. The input Addr.Input receives the input address of the 3WL / 3VL, and the
input Addr.Output the output address of the 3WL / 3VL.
• The inputs DiagInf and ST are interconnected with the outputs QDIAG_INF
and QUALITY of the upstream diagnostic block DIA_WLVL.
• The input MS is interconnected with the output O_MS of the upstream MOD_SWT/MOD_SWTL
block.
• The in/out parameters Mode, DataXchg and DataXchg1 are interconnected with the
outputs OMODE_00, DXCHG_00 and DXCHG1_00 of the upstream MOD_SWT/MOD_SWTL
block.
• The output DiagReq is interconnected with the input DIAG_REQ of the upstream DIA_WLVL
diagnostics block.
A template for the process tag types is available for the Drv3WLVL driver block in the library:

CyclData.L31Volt Voltage L3-L1
CyclData.L1Volt Voltage L1
CyclData.L2Volt Voltage L2
CyclData.L3Volt Voltage L3
CyclData.ToApPow Total apparent power

Writing cyclic control bytes to the process image

The control bytes of the circuit breaker are written cyclically from the
output CyclData.BrCtrl to the process image.

Reading acyclic values from 3WL / 3VL

The number of the data record that is to be read is written into the AcyclData.ReqRd output.
As a result, reading of acyclic data is triggered. At the same time, the AcyclData.LenRd
output must contain the length of the data record in bytes.
After the read operation has been completed with or without errors, the block copies the
number of the data record to the output AcyclData.RdyRead. The data read is then
located in the output structure AcyclData.Input, and the return value of the RDREC call
in the output tag AcyclData.RetValRd and RdStat output parameter. You can find the
meaning of the return values in the online help of the RDREC block.
If an error occurs, the values are set to the old values and the output parameter RdErr = 1 is
set.

Writing acyclic values to the 3WL / 3VL

The AcyclData.ReqWr output triggers writing of acyclic data. To do this the number of the
data record to be written is written to this output. At the same time, the length of the data record
in bytes must be present at the output AcyclData.LenWr and the data to be written must be
present in the output structure AcyclData.Output.

6.4 Connections of Drv3WLVL

When the write operation has been completed with or without errors, the block copies the
number of the data record to the output AcyclData.RdyWrite, and the return value of
the WRREC call to the output tag AcyclData.RetValWr and WrStat output parameter.
You can find the meaning of the return values in the online help of the WRREC block.
If an error occurs, the values are set to the old values and the output WrErr = 1 is set.

Holding last values

If there is no connection to the 3WL / 3VL (input Mode <> 16#80xxxxxx or input Csf = TRUE), the
block keeps the last valid values.
Since the block only reads the acyclic data on request, the data is not changed if there is no
connection from the 3WL / 3VL.

6.3 Error response of Drv3WLVL

The following errors are displayed with this block:
• Higher-level errors

Higher-level errors
A higher-level error is displayed with 1 at an output parameter QCsf:

Family: SENTRON

Area of application of the Cb3WLVL

The block is used for the following applications:
• Interface block of the driver blocks of the 3WL / 3VL circuit breakers to the user program and
the visualization system.

Operating principle
The Cb3WLVL block receives measured data and diagnostic data from the driver blocks of the
3WL / 3VL circuit breakers. The Cb3WLVL block prepares this data and makes it available for
further use in the user program and for visualization.
The circuit breaker can be switched on and off via the control signals.
Different inputs are available for control. You can find further detailed descriptions about
configuring, the operating principle, visualization and operation in the following chapters.

Note
The block resets the control commands in case of control system fault at the block or when the
breaker is unavailable.

Configuration
Integrate the block in the CFC editor into a cyclic interrupt OB (OB30 to OB38). In addition, the
block is integrated automatically into the startup OB (OB100).
To connect the I/O signals, the Drv3WLVL driver block (cyclic and acyclic data of the circuit
breaker) has to be called in the same cyclic interrupt OB before the Cb3WLVL breaker
block. The output structures CyclData and AcyclData of the Drv3WLVL driver block are
interconnected with the same-name inputs of the Cb3WLVL breaker block.
A template for the process tag types is available for the Cb3WLVL block in this library:

7.2 Operating modes of Cb3WLVL

Following modes service the block:
• "Local mode"
• "Automatic mode"
• "Manual mode"
• "Out of service"
The general descriptions of operating modes are identical for the breaker block Cb3WLVL and
the APL blocks. You can read about these in the online help of the APL blocks. Below you can
find supplementary, block-specific information.

"Local mode"
In "Local mode", you can transfer the following commands to the circuit breaker:
• "Off": positive edge OffLocal
• "On": positive edge OnLocal
If you put the block in "Local mode", only the "local" signals of the circuit breaker influence
the control (input parameter. OffLocal = 1, OnLocal = 1).

Note
In contrast to the general description, only the values 0, 1 and 3 can be set at the

7.3 Functions of Cb3WLVL

The functions for this block are listed in the following.

Reading configuration data

All configuration data are read out depending on Feature.bit8 at CPU startup or rack restore.
This can also be initiated in the Parameter view or in the individual measured value views of the
faceplate with "Read configuration data".
If the 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker is connected in an H system downstream of a DP/PA-Link, the
configuration data are not read.

Note
Make sure to start the "Read configuration data" once. This ensures that the displayed data are
up-to-date.

With a positive edge at the RdDataLi.Value input, the acyclic measured values and
diagnostic data are read once. You will find the acyclic measured values in the table below
from "Current unbalance" to "Temperature in circuit breaker" (data record 94). You will find
the diagnostic data below in the table from "Modules connected to the CubicleBUS" to
"Threshold warnings" (data record 92).

Note
As long as the acyclic measured values are being read via the RdDataLi input, "Read
configuration data" cannot be triggered in the faceplate or via the Feature.bit8.

The DataRdOK.Value output is set when the acyclic measured values and the diagnostic
data have been successfully read. The DataRdOK.Value output is reset when reading of the
acyclic measured values and the diagnostic data is started.
The Cb3WLVL breaker block has the following configuration data with the corresponding data

For an active limit violation to disappear, a hysteresis must be undershot (outputs

CL1_Hyst, CL2_Hyst and CL3_Hyst).

Result of the limit monitor

The result of the limit monitoring is made available at the interconnectable output parameters.
• CL1_AH_Act = 1: Current L1 limit for high alarm reached or exceeded
• CL1_WH_Act = 1: Current L1 limit for high warning reached or exceeded
• CL1_WL_Act = 1: Current L1 limit for low warning reached or undershot
• CL1_AL_Act = 1: Current L1 limit for low alarm reached or undershot
• CL2_AH_Act = 1: Current L2 limit for high alarm reached or exceeded
• CL2_WH_Act = 1: Current L2 limit for high warning reached or exceeded
• CL2_WL_Act = 1: Current L2 limit for low warning reached or undershot
• CL2_AL_Act = 1: Current L2 limit for low alarm reached or undershot

parameter triggers limit monitoring with the value "0" or the value "1".
Via Feature.Bit28 "Disable switching points (Page 88), you disable the limit monitoring
with activated message suppression (MsgLock = 1)

Switching on the limit monitoring

The monitoring is always switched on via the input parameters:
• CL1_AH_En = 1: Current L1 monitoring of the high alarm limit
• CL1_WH_En = 1: Current L1 monitoring of the high warning limit
• CL1_WL_En = 1: Current L1 monitoring of the low warning limit
• CL1_AL_En = 1: Current L1 monitoring of the low alarm limit
• CL2_AH_En = 1: Current L2 monitoring of the high alarm limit
• CL2_WH_En = 1: Current L2 monitoring of the high warning limit
• CL2_WL_En = 1: Current L2 monitoring of the low warning limit
• CL2_AL_En = 1: Current L2 monitoring of the low alarm limit
• CL3_AH_En = 1: Current L3 monitoring of the high alarm limit
• CL3_WH_En = 1: Current L3 monitoring of the high warning limit

Default setting: All monitoring functions are activated.

When the block is integrated, message output is not suppressed (all CLx_xx_En parameters
are assigned the value 1 by default). Messages can only be issued if the limit monitor of the
additional analog value has been activated.
When the CLx_xx_En input value is "0", the respective limit is deactivated and all the limit
parameters are hidden at the limit view.
When the Feature2.Bit10 is set ("Display disabled Limits in faceplate" (Page 94)), you can
view the hidden limit parameters at the limit view.

Message suppression of the limit monitoring

You use the following parameters to suppress the messages associated with limit monitoring:
• CL1_AH_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L1 alarm (high) are suppressed.
• CL1_WH_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L1 warning (high) are suppressed.
• CL1_WL_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L1 warning (low) are suppressed.
• CL1_AL_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L1 alarm (low) are suppressed.
• CL2_AH_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L2 alarm (high) are suppressed.
• CL2_WH_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L2 warning (high) are suppressed.
• CL2_WL_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L2 warning (low) are suppressed.
• CL2_AL_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L2 alarm (low) are suppressed.
• CL3_AH_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L3 alarm (high) are suppressed.
• CL3_WH_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L3 warning (high) are suppressed.
• CL3_WL_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L3 warning (low) are suppressed.
• CL3_AL_MsgEn = 0: Messages of the current L3 alarm (low) are suppressed.

7.6 Message characteristics

The bumpless switching from "Local mode" to "Automatic mode" is performed via the
parameter LocalSetting. You can find more detailed information in the online help of
the APL blocks in the chapter "Local mode".
In the standard view of the faceplate, the text "Mode switch fail" is output in the case of
undesired changeover with bump.
When the operator initiates the switching from "Local mode" to "Automatic mode" and the
above described fault occurs, the block remains in "Local mode". When interconnected inputs
initiate the switching from "Local mode" to "Automatic mode" and the above described fault
occurs, the block is switched to "Manual mode".

7.6 Message characteristics

The alarms are output using the ALARM_8P function. The messages can be enabled or disabled
using the MsgLock input. The alarms are also suppressed if the block is in Out of service mode.
The alarms are suppressed on warm restart for the number of cycles set for power up in
the RunUpCyc parameter.

Assigning the starting logical address is sufficient to start the driver generation, through which
the “AddrIn” values are passed to the other dependent blocks.

Automatic interconnections
If the option "Generate Block Driver“ is activated in the "Compile Program" dialog,
interconnections that are not yet available but that are necessary will be automatically executed.

8.3 Template of Cb3WLVL

Template of Cb3WLVL
A chart I/O type is used to connect a 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker with the driver blocks on PCS 7.
The Drv3WLVL driver block transfers the cyclic and acyclic values of the 3WL / 3VL circuit
breaker from and to the device.
The Drv3WLVL driver block is connected to the Cb3WLVL breaker block via the structures
AcyclicData and/or CyclicData.
The process tag type contains the necessary interconnections between the blocks named
above.
To instantiate the template, the AddrIn input of the Drv3WLVL template must be
parameterized with the start address of the inputs of the 3WL / 3VL circuit breaker.

Electrical connection to the CubicleBUS

The electrical connection to the circuit breaker and the CubicleBUS connection to the
CubicleBUS nodes inside the circuit breaker (ETU, BSS, metering function) must be established.
For this purpose, the four wires (two twisted pair) brought out of the rear of COM35 are
connected to position X8 of the auxiliary conductor plug-in system.

11.1 Connection of the COM35 Module

Further components and connections

• The COM35 will directly control opening and closing coils rated for 24 V DC operation. If it is
desired to use coils rated for a voltage greater than 24 V DC, interposing/coupling relays must
be used.
• If the second auxiliary/shunt trip coil (F2, F3, F4) is used instead of the first auxiliary trip coil
(F1) to open the breaker via COM35, the connection points X5:11 and X5:12 must be used.
• The free output can have one of three functions assigned to it:
– General purpose remote controlled output connected to a fan, indicator, remote reset
solenoid (only with option K10, automatic reset of the trip solenoid, standard in N.
America) or other load requiring 24 V DC or less.
– Secondary trip indicator output (bell alarm) – the output will activate when the trip unit
has tripped the breaker.
– Dynamic Arc Flash active indicator – active when parameter set B is in operation. The
assignment of function to the User Output is done through powerconfig or remotely via
communication. Note that all loads connected to the User Output must be powered
by 24 V DC or less.

Note
Observe the polarity.

• With other voltages, interposing/coupling relays must be used.

The CubicleBUS connection for RJ45 plugs to which the external CubicleBUS modules can
be connected is located on the rear. If no external CubicleBUS module is connected, the
terminating resistor supplied in the form of an RJ45 plug must be used.
Please note that the rear RJ45 connection is not an Ethernet port, but a CubicleBUS port.

11.1.2 Closing/opening the circuit breaker via the communication system

Closing/opening the circuit breaker via the communication system

11.2 Write protection of the COM35 Module

Disable write access

In applications in power distribution, it is often necessary to disable write access via
communication interfaces temporarily or permanently. There is a hardware input on the COM35
for this purpose. Terminal 1 provides a 24 V DC output which, when connected to Terminal 2,
disables remote write to parameters and open/close operations (Write Enable).

11.2 Write protection of the COM35 Module

When the input is open (delivery condition of the COM35), write protection is active and
modifications and actions are always locked.

The following actions are possible while write-protection is active:

The exceptions are the following modifications and actions that are also permitted in write-
protected mode:
• Modifying/setting of trigger functions for the waveform buffer
• Reading out the contents of the waveform buffer
• Changing the parameters for threshold values
• Setting/changing the system time
• Modifying the free texts (comment, plant identifier)
• Resetting the min./max. values
• Resetting to factory settings via function key S1.

The following actions are disallowed while write-protection is active:

All other modifications/actions are blocked, e.g.:
• Closing/opening the circuit breaker via communication
• Resetting the current tripping operation
• Modification of the protection parameters
• Modification of the parameters for the enhanced protection function/metering function
• Modification of the parameters for communication
• Changing the parameters for measured value setting/metering function
• Resetting maintenance information (counter)
• Control of digital outputs
• Updating of the firmware of the COM35 via the powerconfig software
• Modification of the function of the free user input/output (e.g. trip alarm switch/DAS)
• Resetting to factory settings via PROFINET.

Write protection application

With write protection, it is possible to prevent closing/opening of the circuit breaker and
modification of parameters. This protection can be temporary or permanent.

Write protection on/off

• Pin 1 and 2 of the COM35 open = write protection is activated.
• Pin 1 and 2 of the COM35 closed = write protection is deactivated.

11.3 Interconnections on COM15 for 3WL

Temporary protection
• Door switch
To protect service personnel during maintenance work, it is possible to prevent the circuit
breaker from being operated via communication while the switchgear door is open.
• Selector switch
It is possible to put a selector switch in the switchgear door. In this way, you can choose
whether remote operation/parameterization will be possible or whether you would like to
prevent or permit it temporarily.
• Security
The write protection is a very secure way of preventing impermissible operation and
modification of parameters. You can temporarily enable (if you require it yourself) or disable
remote operation/parameterization by a second independent path (e.g. by the CPU).

Transfer of necessary information

Despite the write protection, all the necessary information can be transferred, but the status of
the circuit breaker cannot be changed.
All non-disabled actions are used only for remote diagnostics.

11.3 Interconnections on COM15 for 3WL

11.3.1 Interconnections on COM15 for 3WL

In order to undertake switching operations of the circuit breaker in the faceplates of the 3WL, the
user must perform wiring on the COM15 module. This has to be done in order to forward
commands to the corresponding hardware.
The two circuits for the 24 V DC voltage or other voltages only indicate complete removal and
can be adapted on a user-specific basis.

Contact 1 / 2:
Write protection is integrated in COM15 to interlock the switching operations of the circuit
breaker. This protection does not permit commands which put switching operations at risk.
Write protection on COM15 therefore has to be released via pin 2 in order to switch on or off.
The simplest version is depicted and takes the form of a wire jumper between 1 and 2
without customer-specific release (in released representation).

Contact 4 / 5:
These "User" contacts are used to control the magnets for the anti-pumping device and/or trip
detection. (The circuit breaker should be fitted with the "Remote reset magnet for the display
and reset button, including automatic resetting of the anti-pumping device")

Contact 6 / 7:
The "Close" / "Motorized operating mechanism for spring energy store" contact is used to
close the circuit breaker and controls the Y1 switch-on solenoids and the automatic charging

11.5.1 COM20 pin assignment

The COM20 must be supplied with 24 V DC for operations and this must be supplied to the
terminals A2 (ground) and A1 (+). This voltage is looped-through via the communication cable
to the ETU (trip unit) of the 3VL circuit-breaker such that this is also operated when the main
contacts are open. Without this supply the ETU would not be able to communicate diagnosis
information, such as the reason for the last trip, if there were no self-supply.
Unlike COM10, the auxiliary and alarm switches are not wired to the COM20, but directly to
the ETU, and the communication status forwarded to COM20. The following diagram shows
the principle of the connection between the COM20 and a SENTRON VL including the LEDs
and the PROFIBUS write protection DPWriteEnable.

The contact between WE and 24 V must be closed for the remote function! Without this wire
jumper, the PROFIBUS-DP cannot be used to switch the SENTRON VL on or off.

More information on fitting the motorized operating mechanism can be found in the
installation instructions for the motorized operating mechanism.

Troubleshooting B
B.1 Debug Information
The Debug information (DebugInf ) input parameter is used for monitoring the status of the
last executed SFB/SFC call. Each call will have its own structure to hold status information. The
debug information will be stored in the respective block instance DB. The user will have the
option to Enable ,Disable or Reset debug information for the respective block.
Applicable blocks: Drv3WLVL, DIA_WLVL
The DebugInf values can be used as follows:
• DebugInf = 16#00: Disable debug Information
• DebugInf = 16#01: Enable debug Information
• DebugInf = 16#02: Reset debug Information

Note
After successful debugging of the SFB/SFC calls DebugInf parameter should be disabled to
reduce the consumption of work memory.
After successful reset the input parameter DebugInf value is enabled.

Parameters Function

Parameter Description
Req 1= SFB/SFC call is executed.
0 = SFB/SFC call is terminated.
Busy 1= SFB/SFC call is in busy state (i.e.. return code is equal to 16#7001 or
16#7002)
Error 1= SFB/SFC call is in error state (i.e return code = 16#80xx)
Dyn_Rst 1= Dynamic reset executed for SFB/SFC call
Brkn_Call 1= Broken call detected
Reset 1= exclusive reset is executed
RecNum Indicate the data set number for read/write operations.
Index Updates SZL_ID during the RDSYSST call execution (Req := true) or SFC termi‐
nation (Req := false)
Status The actual return status output of the RDREC/WRREC/RDSYSST call.
TrueCnt The counter value will increase by 1 during SFB/SFC call request (Req :=True).
FalseCnt The counter value will increment by 1 during SFB/SFC call termination request
(Req := False).
