Reception of protection commands in a remote tripping device
View Patent ↗In order to receive protection commands in a remote tripping device, one or more signals is or are received, protection commands and combinations of protection commands are coded by means of an individual signal or by means of a predetermined combination of signals, and each protection command is allocated a predetermined minimum safety and/or security value. In this case, each signal is allocated a detector ( 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 ) which detects the presence of the signal on the basis of at least two different safety and/or security values which can be predetermined, and a protection command is detected with an allocated minimum safety and/or security value if an individual signal, which codes the protection command individually or in conjunction with other protection commands, is detected with a safety and/or security threshold value which is greater than or equal to the minimum safety and/or security value allocated to that protection command, or if all the signals in a combination of signals which codes the protection command individually or in conjunction with other protection commands are in each detected with a safety and/or security threshold value which is greater than or equal to the minimum safety and/or security value allocated to the protection command.
1. A method for reception of protection commands in a remote tripping device, in which
one or more signals are received,
protection commands and combinations of protection commands are coded by means of an individual signal or by means of a predetermined combination of signals, and
each protection command is allocated a predetermined minimum safety and/or security value,
wherein each signal is allocated a detector which detects the presence of the signal on the basis of at least two different safety and/or security threshold values which can be predetermined, and
wherein a protection command is detected
if an individual signal, which codes the protection command individually or in conjunction with other protection commands, is detected with a safety and/or security threshold value which is greater than or equal to the minimum safety and/or security value allocated to the protection command, or
if all the signals in the predetermined combination of signals which codes the protection command individually or in conjunction with other protection commands are each detected with a safety and/or security threshold value which is greater than or equal to the minimum safety and/or security value allocated to the protection command.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the signals is formed by an oscillation at a predetermined frequency.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each protection command and each combination of protection commands are coded by means of one, and only one, signal.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each protection command and each combination of protection commands are coded by means of two, and only two, signals.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the signals is formed by an oscillation which switches periodically between two predetermined frequencies.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein values for a transmission time of the signals or of the protection commands are used instead of safety and/or security values for a detection of the signals or protection commands.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein both safety and security values for a detection of the signals or protection commands and values for a transmission time of the signals or protection commands are used.
8. A remote tripping device, having means for reception of one or more signals, with protection commands and combinations of protection commands being coded by means of an individual signal or by means of a predetermined combination of signals, and each protection command being allocated a predetermined minimum safety and/or security value,
wherein the remote tripping device has at least one detector, with each signal being allocated a detector for detection of the presence of the signal on the basis of at least two different safety and/or security threshold values which can be predetermined, and
wherein the remote tripping device has a means for detection of the presence of a protection command,
if an individual signal, which codes the protection command individually or in conjunction with other protection commands, is detected with a safety and/or security threshold value which is greater than or equal to the minimum safety and/or security value allocated to that protection command, or
if all the signals in the predetermined combination of signals which codes the protection command individually or in conjunction with other protection commands are each detected with a safety and/or security threshold value which is greater than or equal to the minimum safety and/or security value allocated to the protection command.
