The Form 5 control is constructed in a modular fashion to
simplify service and the addition of accessories (Figure
4). The standard configuration incorporates a Central
Processing Unit (CPU) module, power supply module,
Recloser Interface (RIF) module, and an operator panel.
Discrete Interface (DIF) module(s), the fiber-optic board
and the RS-232 communication interface cards may be
ordered as accessories. Mounting provisions can be
provided to add customer-supplied radio and modem
modules.
Recloser Interface (RIF) Module
The Recloser Interface (RIF) Module provides the inter-
face between the recloser and the CPU module, as well
as the interface between the voltage sensors and the
CPU module. The RIF is designed to interface with the fol-
lowing reclosers: WE/WVE group, NOVA group,
VSA/VSO group, and KFME/KFVME (50Hz) group.
The recloser connector includes three current-trans-
former inputs, Open and Closed status sensing, and Trip
and Close controls. The voltage sensor connector
accepts six voltage inputs; three for source-side, and
three for load-side voltage. Two sets of dip switches,
located on the RIF front panel, utilize different switch posi-
tions to configure the desired voltage. See Figure 17.
The RIF board accepts either 12, 120, or 240 Vac voltage
inputs for metering. The factory configuration is outlined
on the module label and can be customized to user spec-
ification. See RECLOSER INTERFACE (RIF) MODULE
CONFIGURATION section of this manual.
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Module
The CPU module is the center of the Form 5 control. The
CPU contains a 32-bit micro-controller, a Digital Signal
Processor, RAM and EEPROM memory, and a 16-bit
analog-to-digital converter. The CPU module accepts 16
analog inputs which it routes through the digital signal
processor, which samples 32 times per cycle, to compute
harmonic analysis to the 15th harmonic.
Discrete Interface (DIF) Module
The Discrete Interface (DIF) module allows users with
existing RTUs the ability to interface with the Form 5 con-
trol. The DIF module contains 12 inputs and 12 outputs
can be customized for a remote or supervisory function.
One Form 5 control can accommodate two DIF modules.
See DISCRETE INTERFACE (DIF) ACCESSORY sec-
tion of this manual.
Power Supply Module
The Power Supply module is designed to accept 100 to
134 Vac or 200 to 268 Vac user-supplied input power at
either 50 or 60 Hz.
The Power supply module (connection P9) provides aux-
iliary power to radio communications units, RTUs and
other accessories. The auxiliary output provides 24 Vdc
(12 Vdc is available) for user loads. The auxiliary power
supply has the capability to provide a load of up to 40 W
peak (1 second) and 3 W average. The auxiliary power is
fused and current-limited to prevent user loads from dis-
abling the control.
