Test set overview

3 Test set overview


3.1 Description
The CMC 353 is a multipurpose test set with low-drift signal generators. The device has a very accurate
time base, which allows a very high frequency accuracy even without external synchronization. To
synchronize outputs and binary inputs the time base can be synchronized to UTC using either the
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to IEEE 1588 or the IRIG-B time code. Synchronization to GPS
can be achieved by using the CMGPS 588 or OTMC 100 accessory from OMICRON.
The CMC 353 uses its own internal digital processor platform for measurements and signal generation
(including support according to the IEC 61850 protocol for signal generation and binary I/Os).
The CMC 353 test set itself does not provide any control elements and requires a suitable control
software or control device for operation.
The CMC 353 provides the following options for communication with the control software or control
device:
• Ethernet
• USB
• Wi-Fi (requires a Wi-Fi adapter available from OMICRON)

Available options for the CMC 353 test set


• LLO-2 (low-level outputs 7–12)
SELV interface connector holding 2 independent generator triples (SELV = safety extra low voltage).
These 6 additional high-accuracy analog signal sources can serve to either control an external
amplifier or to directly provide low-level outputs.
→ Section 4.5.5 "Low-level outputs LL out for external amplifiers" on page 31.

3.2 Front panel connections


WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by dangerous voltage possible
All outputs and inputs of CMC test sets that are not explicitly restricted to SELV can carry
lethal voltage. The insulation between input and output groups on the front panel is only a
functional insulation and not sufficient to prevent dangerous voltages from being bridged
between ports. In case of an internal failure input ports can also be a source of
dangerous voltages.
► Before working on test objects, connections or terminals connected to the CMC test
set, make sure that the power supply of the CMC test set is switched off and that all
parts in the working area are de-energized.
► Observe the correct wiring procedure.

earth.

OMICRON 11
CMC 353 User Manual

3.2.2 CURRENT OUTPUT

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by dangerous inductive loads possible
If charged with current, inductive loads may store a dangerous amount of energy. For
example, an energy of <350 mJ is considered safe according to the IEC 61010-1 safety
standard.
► Make sure that the possibly stored energy of the inductive device under test is within
safe limits.
► Do not use the CMC test set for the measurement on high inductances (power
transformer, current transformer) due to the discharging processes.
► If in doubt, contact OMICRON Support for more information.

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by dangerous voltage levels on conductive parts
possible
Although the output voltages of the current generators are within touch-safe limits, the
insulation to other input and output groups is implemented as functional insulation only.
Therefore, the outputs can conduct dangerous voltages.
► Observe the wiring instructions and safety precautions given in section "Wiring" in the
Safe use of CMC test sets manual.
► Do not touch open conductive parts with live current signals (e.g. blank screw
terminals) while the CMC test set is switched on.

NOTICE
Equipment damage possible
An external infeed could damage or destroy the current output. The outputs are protected in switched-
off state by a short-circuit relay.
► Make sure that there is no infeed from an external source.

The CURRENT OUTPUT is available on the generator combination


socket.
→ Section 3.2.6 "Generator combination socket for VOLTAGE
OUTPUT and CURRENT OUTPUT" on page 15.
→ Section 4.5.3 "Current outputs" on page 27.
Each output is galvanically separated from all other connections of the CMC 353. All current outputs are
protected against open circuits, short circuits, overload, and overtemperature.

Test set overview

3.2.3 BINARY INPUT

All 10 inputs of the CMC 353 can be individually configured by the control software to be binary inputs
(wet = potential-sensing or dry = potential-free). When the contacts are potential-sensing, the expected
nominal voltage and pick-up threshold can be set for each binary input.
The 10 inputs are divided into 5 groups of 2 inputs, each group galvanically separated from the others.
Moreover, the binary inputs 1 to 10 can be used as counter inputs for input frequencies up to 3 kHz.

3.2.4 BINARY OUTPUT


The 4 potential-free normally open relay contacts can switch AC or DC
currents of up to 8 A.
Technical data → Section 4.5.7 "Binary output relays" on page 34.

CMC 353 User Manual

3.2.5 AUX DC (DC power for test objects)

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by dangerous voltage levels due to control by
software possible
The AUX DC output can be programmed to output dangerous voltage without user
intervention. It will then output the pre-programmed voltage directly after the start-up of
the test set. This may lead to damage to property or persons. Since the output is only
controlled by software, a wrong AUX DC setting (e.g. set in software, software or
hardware error) could lead to an unexpected value (up to 264 V).
► Make sure that the voltage applied at the AUX DC output of the CMC test set interface
is safe before connecting any test leads to this output.
► Follow the wiring procedure described in section "Wiring" in the Safe use of CMC test
sets manual.

The AUX DC output can be used to supply test objects with DC voltage. The output voltage
can be configured to 0 … 264 V in the control software or control device.
► Refer to the documentation of the control software for more information.
The AUX DC output is galvanically separated from all other connections of the CMC 353.
The output is protected against short-circuit, overload, and overtemperature.
An LED in the upper left corner indicates if the output is active.

LED status Description


Red Output is active.
Red blinking 20 s time period without voltage output after start-up → "AUX DC voltage
output after start-up" below.
OFF Output is inactive.

AUX DC voltage output after start-up


In the control software or control device, the AUX DC output can be programmed to automatically output
a configured voltage after switching the CMC 353 on. If so:
• No voltage is output for the first 20 s after the start-up of the CMC 353.
• The LED blinks red during this period of time.
• Upon expiry of this 20 s period, the configured voltage is available at the AUX DC output. The LED
lights continuously.

Test set overview

3.3.2 Ethernet ports ETH1 and ETH2


Depending on the interface board of your CMC test set, the 2 PoE Ethernet (Power over
Ethernet) ports ETH1 and ETH2 are of one of the following types:
• 10/100Base-TX (twisted pair) Ethernet ports (at NET-1(x) boards)
• 10/100/1000Base-TX (twisted pair) Ethernet ports (at NET-2 board)
They support auto crossing (auto MDI/MDIX). This means you can use a standard cable or a
cross-over Ethernet patch cable.
Note: If your Ethernet ports ETH1 and ETH2 look different, that is, ETH2 is a Fast Ethernet over optical
fiber connector version, you have a NET-1 board installed in your test set.
→ Section 4.8 "Technical data of the communication ports" on page 41.
Since the CMC test set can be controlled over a network, any distance between the controlling computer
and the test set is possible. This enables direct remote control of the CMC test set, for example, for end-
to-end testing.
The Ethernet ports also provide the basis for the processing of substation protocols according to the
IEC 61850 standard. They allow flexible configurations, for example, for the separation of data traffic
from different network segments or the segregation of substation protocol data and test set control
commands.
The yellow and green LEDs at each ETH port reflect the port’s operational status. Depending on your
NET-x interface board, their behavior slightly varies.
→ Section 4.8 "Technical data of the communication ports" on page 41.

3.3.3 ! button
The ! button enables you to recover from unsuccessful software image downloads or other issues.
To start a new software image download, press the ! button with a pointed tool or a paper clip while
! powering up the CMC. In that case, the test set will not start as usual but wait for a new software
image download.

3.3.4 Associate button

The Associate button has the following functions:


Associate

• Association with controlling computer


An Ethernet communication port enables you to communicate with any CMC available on the
network. This may lead to dangerous situations where a user accidentally connects to a device
located on a desk of somebody else, emitting unsafe voltages and endangering the person working
there.
To prevent such a situation, a mechanism is integrated into the CMC test set that allows only
"authorized" clients to control the test set. If you use the Associate button, the test set is registered
for use with a specific host computer.
The association process can be initiated via OMICRON Device Link.

OMICRON 17
CMC 353 User Manual

► For more details about this process, refer to the according help.
For the association, the CMC test set remembers the Ethernet hardware address (MAC) of the
connected port of the controlling device. Should the port change, a re-association is necessary.
• Reset IP configuration
If the Associate button is pressed while powering up the CMC test set, the IP configuration of the
network interfaces is reset to factory default, which is DHCP/AutoIP for both network interfaces. This
may be necessary to recover from settings with conflicting static IP addresses.

3.3.5 Status LED A and B


The status LEDs A and B above the Associate button are of interest in case of troubleshooting.

A: yellow status LED


• ON indicates that the test set is ready to be controlled by a computer. The hardware checks in the
test set are finished.
• OFF indicates that the test set is waiting for a software image download. This is the case when the
! button is pressed while powering up the CMC test set.

B: green status LED


• LED B blinks slowly: The CMC test set waits for the TFTP download (trivial file transfer protocol) of
a software image.
• LED B is ON: The TFTP download of the software image is in progress.
• LED B blinks quickly: The computer is writing, for example, the software to the flash memory of the
CMC test set.
► Do not turn off the CMC test set as long as the writing is in progress.

3.3.6 SELV interfaces


All inputs and outputs of the SELV group (SELV = safety extra low voltage, defined in IEC 60950-1)
reference to a common neutral (N) that is internally connected to the protective earth (GND) of the
housing.

External interface (ext. Interf.):


The SELV interface connector ext. Interf. holds 4 additional transistor binary outputs
(BINARY OUTPUT 11–14). Unlike regular relay outputs, the outputs of BINARY
OUTPUT 11–14 are bounce-free binary outputs and have a minimal reaction time.
In addition, 2 high frequency counter inputs for up to 100 kHz are available for the testing
of energy meters.

ext. Interf. → Section 4.5.6 "Low-level binary outputs (ext. Interf.)" on page 33.
Furthermore, this interface is used to control certain CMC accessories like the CMIRIG-
B interface box (for IRIG-B synchronization) or the TWX1 accessory (for testing traveling wave protection
relays and fault recorders).

Test set overview

LL out 1–6 (low-level outputs 1–6)


The SELV interface connector LL out 1–6 holds 2 independent generator triples. These
6 high-accuracy analog signal sources can serve to either control an external amplifier or
to directly provide low-level outputs.
In addition, a serial digital interface is available that transmits control and monitor
functions between the CMC 353 and the external amplifiers. Supported devices are the
CMS 356 or the discontinued devices CMA 156, CMA 56, CMS 156, CMS 251 and
LL out 1–6 CMS 252.
The low-level outputs are short-circuit-proof and continually monitored for overload.
► Connect the external amplifier to the CMC 353 low-level outputs.
► Use the connecting cable that was supplied with the amplifier.
→ Section 4.5.5 "Low-level outputs LL out for external amplifiers" on page 31.

LL out 7–12 (low-level outputs 7–12) – Option LLO-2


The SELV interface connector LL out 7–12 is an option available for the CMC 353 test
set.
The outputs 7–12 extend the low-level outputs 1–6 by 2 more independent generator
triples. Outputs 7–12 are technically identical to outputs 1–6 as described above.
→ Section 4.5.5 "Low-level outputs LL out for external amplifiers" on page 31.

4 Technical data
4.1 Calibration and guaranteed values
We recommend that you send in your test sets for calibration at least once a year.
The drift of test equipment, that is, the deterioration of accuracy over time, depends strongly on
environmental conditions and the application field. Excessive use or mechanical and/or thermal stress
may result in the need for shorter calibration intervals.
Moderate working environments, on the other hand, allow you to increase the calibration interval to once
every 2 or even 3 years.
► Particularly in cases of extended calibration intervals, verify the accuracy of the test set by cross-
referencing the measurement results with traceable reference equipment either on a regular basis or
prior to use. You can, for example, use a typical, often-used device under test as a reference, or use
measurement equipment with a certified high accuracy.
Should the test equipment fail, immediately contact OMICRON Support for calibration or repair. Do not
try to use it anymore.

Guaranteed values
• The values apply at 23 °C ± 5 °C (73 °F ± 9 °F), and after a warm-up time greater than 25 minutes.
• Guaranteed values of the generator outputs:
The values are valid in the frequency range from 10 to 100 Hz unless specified otherwise. Given
maximum phase errors relate to the voltage amplifier outputs.
• Accuracy data for analog outputs are valid in the frequency range from 0 to 100 Hz unless specified
otherwise.
• The given input/output accuracy values relate to the range limit value (% of range limit value).

4.2.1 Operational limits in conjunction with a weak power supply


input voltage
In general, the maximum output power of the CMC 353 is limited by the power supply input voltage. If
the power supply input voltage is less than 120 VAC, it is possible to supply the CMC 353 with 2 phases
(L-L, for example with a NEMA 6 240 V U.S. Standard) instead of the normal phase-neutral (L-N)
operation in order to increase the power supply input voltage.
In order to limit the internal losses and to maximize the output power of the voltage amplifier, always set
the maximum test object voltage to the minimum value possible for the test.
Apart from the reduction of the available total output power, a weak power supply input does not further
affect the technical data of the CMC 353.

4.2.2 Operational limits with current and voltage amplifier in


parallel
A parallel operation of current and voltage amplifier lowers the maximum output power of the CMC 353.
To limit the internal losses and to maximize the output power of the voltage amplifier, set the maximum
test object voltage to the minimum value possible for the test. To minimize no load losses, do not route
unused amplifiers in the Hardware Configuration.

as follows:

4.4 Synchronization
Synchronization of system clock
By synchronizing the system clock to an external time base, the system clock accuracy can be improved
up to the level of the external time base. Synchronizing the system clock additionally makes the absolute
time available in the system. The absolute time is used to tag measurement results, start distributed tests
at the same time, and generate and measure synchrophasors.
The following specifications refer to the internal time base. For the absolute time accuracy of the outputs
and inputs, the inherent error of the respective channel itself has to be added.

Supported sources Third-party IRIG-B sources with OMICRON

Absolute time synchronization


The voltage and current outputs can be synchronized to an absolute time base like IRIG-B and
IEEE 1588 to generate output signals synchronous to the time source. This can be used to test phasor
measurement units (PMU) by generating reference signals.

Absolute timing accuracy1


Typical Guaranteed
Voltage output Error <±1 μs Error <±5 μs
Current output Error <±5 μs Error <±20 μs
1. Valid for a phasor with a frequency of 50/60 Hz.

OMICRON 23
CMC 353 User Manual

Synchronization to external analog signal


The phase and frequency of the voltage and current outputs can be synchronized to a reference input
signal of 10 ... 300 V / 15 ... 70 Hz applied to binary input 10. In contrast to the synchronization of the
system clock, this kind of synchronization influences the frequency and phase of the signal generation
directly.
The possible accuracy depends on the quality of the synchronization signal because the synchronization
uses the zero crossings of the signal.

4.5.2 Extended frequency range


In selected Test Universe modules, the CMC 353 supports a mode for generating stationary signals of
up to 3 kHz. This mode corrects the phase and gain errors of the output filter. The 3 dB bandwidth of this
filter limits the amplitude at 3 kHz to about 70 % of the maximum range value. The application of the
extended frequency range is the generation of harmonics and interharmonics.

4.5.5 Low-level outputs LL out for external amplifiers


Note: The low-level outputs LL out 7–12 are only available if the option LLO-2 is installed.
Both SELV interface connectors LL out 1–6 as well as the optional LL out 7–12 (if applicable) hold 2
independent generator triples each. These 6 high-accuracy analog signal sources per connector can be
used to either control an external amplifier or to directly provide low-level outputs.
In addition, each SELV interface connector provides a serial digital interface (pins 8–16; see below) that
transmits control and monitor functions between the CMC 353 and the external amplifiers.
Supported devices are the CMS 356 or the discontinued devices CMA 156, CMA 56, CMS 156,
CMS 251 and CMS 252.
The low-level outputs are short-circuit-proof and continually monitored for overload. They are separated
through reinforced insulation from the power input and from the voltage and current outputs. They deliver
calibrated signals in the range from 0 to 7 Veff nominal (0 to ± 10 Vpeak).
Both the selection of the particular amplifier as well as the specification of the range of the amplifier takes
place in the software.

Deglitching input signals


In order to suppress short spurious pulses, a deglitching algorithm could be configured. The deglitch
process results in an additional dead time and introduces a signal delay. In order to be detected as a
valid signal level, the level of an input signal must have a constant value at least during the deglitch time.
The figure below illustrates the deglitch function.

Input signal

Input signal deglitched

Tdeglitch Tdeglitch

Debouncing input signals


For input signals with a bouncing characteristic, a debounce function can be configured. This means that
the first change of the input signal causes the debounced input signal to be changed and then be kept
on this signal value for the duration of the debounce time.
The debounce function is placed after the deglitch function described above and both are realized by the
firmware of the CMC 353 and are calculated in real time.
The figure below illustrates the debounce function. On the right-hand side of the figure, the debounce
time is too short. As a result, the debounced signal rises to "high" once again, even while the input signal
is still bouncing and does not drop to a low level until another Tdebounce period has expired.
The figure below illustrates the debounce function.

5 Increasing the output power


The possible output current and output voltage of the CMC 353 can be increased by connecting
amplifiers in parallel or in series. The following output configuration examples represent a selection of
the possible configurations. For a complete list of possible configurations, check the hardware
configuration of the control software or control device.
When using the CMC 353 in an operational mode that parallels the output currents, make sure to use
test leads of an appropriate diameter.

5.3 Operation with external amplifiers


The LL out 1–6 connections offer a large variety of extension possibilities through the connection of
external amplifiers. As such, higher currents and higher power outputs can be generated, or the number
of independent voltage or current channels can be extended. This allows for applications that the
CMC 353 alone cannot cover, for example testing busbar differential protection, transformer differential
protection or synchronizer devices.
For example, with the CMS 356 voltage and current amplifier you can add 3 × 300 V and 3 × 64 A, or
6 × 32 A to the CMC test set. It is also possible to parallel the current outputs of several CMS 356 units
for even higher current amplitudes.
With the optional LL out 7–12 connection it is possible to double the number of independent channels
that can be added with external amplifiers.

6.3 Overheating
Depending on the output current and the ambient temperature, a duty cycle smaller than 100 % has to
be applied for the current outputs in order to prevent a protective shut-down of the current amplifier by
the overtemperature protection function. If the CMC 353 performed a protective shutdown of the current
amplifier, a message is displayed in the control software or on the control device.
You can then try the following to avoid further protective shutdowns:
• Use shorter duty cycles, for example, 50 % instead of 75 %.
• Use the CMC 353 at lower ambient temperatures.
