Manually simulate breaker components

To manually simulate a breaker component using its exposed properties:

  1. In Graphics Editor, in a TGML page, set the required value in the exposed property of a breaker component.
  2. Use the allowed values, as shown in the table below.
  3. Save the TGML and create the configuration file from Connection Debugger tool.
Binding name Exposed attributes Values allowed for exposed attributes Comment
IsClosed ActiveCondition 0 & 1 1=Closed
IsOpen BkrOpnCond 0 & 1 1=Open
IsError BkrErrCond 0 & 1 1=Bad/Error
IsInter BkrIntCond 0 & 1 1=Intermediate
RkdPos RkdPosCond 0 & 1 0=Racked-In
1=Racked-Out
IsTripped TripCond 0 & 1 0=Normal
1=Tripped
EarthSwitchClosed EarthSwitchCond 0 & 1 0=ES Open
1=ES Closed

For example, to manually simulate breaker operation by setting exposed attributes for the selected breaker component, do the following:

Scenario 1

With breaker closed, racked-in and earth switch open

ActiveCondition=1, BkrOpnCond=0, BkrErrCond=0, BkrIntCond=0, RkdPosCond=0, TripCond=0 and EarthSwitchCond=0

   
Scenario 2

With breaker open, racked-out and earth switch closed

ActiveCondition=0, BkrOpnCond=1, BkrErrCond=0, BkrIntCond=0, RkdPosCond=1, TripCond=0 and EarthSwitchCond=1

NOTE:

  • If the non-rackable breaker components are configured for rackable breakers, then you may get undesirable animations when the physical breaker is held in the racked-out/Test position.
  • Ignore setting the RkdPosCond and EarthSwitchCond attributes if the circuit breaker does not have these features.
