869 Motor Protection System
Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction
The Multilin 869 relay is a microprocessor-based unit intended for the management and
primary protection of medium and large sized motors. Base relay models provide thermal
overload and overcurrent protection plus a number of current and voltage based backup
functions.
Overview
The relay features an enhanced thermal model with custom curves, current unbalance
biasing, voltage dependent curves and running and stopped exponential cooling curves.
An optional RTD module allows for the thermal model RTD bias function. Motor start and
supervision functions include thermal inhibit, maximum starting rate, time between starts,
restart delay, acceleration time, and emergency restart. Mechanical jam, current
unbalance elements and VFD application support are also included as basic functions.
Stator differential, sensitive directional power and phase/neutral directional elements are
more advanced features.
These relays contain many innovative features. To meet diverse utility standards and
industry requirements, these features have the flexibility to be programmed to meet
specific user needs. This flexibility will naturally make a piece of equipment difficult to
learn. To aid new users in getting basic protection operating quickly, setpoints are set to
typical default values and advanced features are disabled. These settings can be
reprogrammed at any time.
Programming can be accomplished with the front panel keys and display. Due to the
numerous settings, this manual method can be somewhat laborious. To simplify
programming and provide a more intuitive interface, setpoints can be entered with a PC
running the EnerVista 8 Setup software provided with the relay. Even with minimal
computer knowledge, this menu-driven software provides easy access to all front panel
functions. Actual values and setpoints can be displayed, altered, stored, and printed. If
settings are stored in a setpoint file, they can be downloaded at any time to the front panel
program port of the relay via a computer cable connected to the USB port of any personal
computer.

Description of the 869 Motor Protection System
CPU
Relay functions are controlled by two processors: a Freescale MPC5125 32-bit
microprocessor that measures all analog signals and digital inputs and controls all output
relays, and a Freescale MPC8358 32-bit microprocessor that controls all the advanced
Ethernet communication protocols.
Analog Input and Waveform Capture
Magnetic transformers are used to scale-down the incoming analog signals from the
source instrument transformers. The analog signals are then passed through a 11.5 k Hz
low pass analog anti-aliasing filter. All signals are then simultaneously captured by sample
and hold buffers to ensure there are no phase shifts. The signals are converted to digital
values by a 16-bit A/D converter before finally being passed on to the CPU for analysis.
The 'raw' samples are scaled in software, then placed into the waveform capture buffer,
thus emulating a digital fault recorder. The waveforms can be retrieved from the relay via
the EnerVista 8 Series Setup
Frequency
Frequency measurement is accomplished by measuring the time between zero crossings
of the composite signal of three-phase bus voltages, line voltage or three-phase currents.
The signals are passed through a low pass filter to prevent false zero crossings. Frequency
tracking utilizes the measured frequency to set the sampling rate for current and voltage
which results in better accuracy for the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) algorithm for offnominal frequencies.
The main frequency tracking source uses three-phase bus voltages. The frequency
tracking is switched automatically by an algorithm to the alternative reference source, i.e.,
three-phase currents signal if the frequency detected from the three-phase voltage inputs
is declared invalid. The switching will not be performed if the frequency from the
alternative reference signal is detected invalid. Upon detecting valid frequency on the
main source, the tracking will be switched back to the main source. If a stable frequency
signal is not available from all sources, then the tracking frequency defaults to the nominal
system frequency.
Phasors, Transients, and Harmonics
All waveforms are processed eight times every cycle through a DC decaying removal filter
and a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The resulting phasors have fault current transients
and all harmonics removed. This results in an overcurrent relay that is extremely secure
and reliable and one that will not overreach.
Processing of AC Current Inputs
The DC Decaying Removal Filter is a short window digital filter, which removes the DC
decaying component from the asymmetrical current present at the moment a fault
occurs. This is done for all current signals used for overcurrent protection; voltage signals
use the same DC Decaying Removal Filter. This filter ensures no overreach of the
overcurrent protection.
The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) uses exactly one cycle of samples to calculate a
phasor quantity which represents the signal at the fundamental frequency; all harmonic
components are removed. All subsequent calculations (e.g. power, etc.) are based upon the
software for display and diagnostics.

components. RMS (root mean square) values are calculated from one cycle of samples
prior to filtering.
Protection Elements
All voltage, current and frequency protection elements are processed eight times every
cycle to determine if a pickup has occurred or a timer has expired. The voltage and current
protection elements use RMS current/voltage, or the magnitude of the phasor.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTIONSECURITY OVERVIEW
Security Overview
The following security features are available:
BASIC SECURITY
The basic security feature is present in the default offering of the 869 relay. The
869 introduces the notion of roles for different levels of authority. Roles are used as login
names with associated passwords stored on the device. The following roles are available
at present: Administrator, Operator, Factory and Observer, with a fixed permission
structure for each one. Note that the Factory role is not available for users, but strictly
used in the manufacturing process.
The 869 can still use the Setpoint access switch feature, but enabling the feature can be
done only by an Administrator. Setpoint access is controlled by a keyed switch to offer
some minimal notion of security.
CYBERSENTRY
The CyberSentry Embedded Security feature is a software option that provides advanced
security services. When the software option is purchased, the Basic Security is
automatically disabled.
CyberSentry provides security through the following features:
•An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS) client that is centrally managed, enables user attribution, and
uses secure standards based strong cryptography for authentication and credential
protection.
•A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that
device operations and configurations based on specific roles
devices using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the
FASTPATH:
allows access to 869
and individual user accounts configured on the AAA server. At present the defined
roles are: Administrator, Operator and Observer.
•Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the
EnerVista software and 869
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in Galois Counter Mode (GCM)
as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH and
approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2
standards for cryptographic systems.
•Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security
Information Event Management (SIEM) systems for centralized cyber security
monitoring.
There are two types of authentication supported by CyberSentry that can be used to
access the 869 device:
•Device Authentication – in which case the authentication is performed on the
device itself, using the predefined roles as users (No RADIUS involvement).
869
–869 authentication using local roles may be done either from the front panel or
through EnerVista.
•Server Authentication - in which case the authentication is done on a RADIUS server,
using individual user accounts defined on the server. When the user accounts are
created, they are assigned to one of the predefined roles recognized by the 869
–869 authentication using RADIUS server may be done only through EnerVista.
WiFi and USB do not currently support CyberSentry security. For this reason WiFi is
disabled by default if the CyberSentry option is purchased. The user can enable WiFi, but
be aware that doing so violates the security and compliance model that CyberSentry is
supposed to provide.
869 MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL1–7
869 ORDER CODESCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
NOTE
When both 869 device and server authentication are enabled, the 869 automatically
directs authentication requests to the 869
device or the respective RADIUS server, based
on user names. If the user ID credential does not match one of the device local accounts,
the 869
automatically forwards the request to a RADIUS server when one is provided. If a
RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, server authentication
requests are denied. In this situation, use local 869
system.
869
device accounts to gain access to the
USER ROLES
User Access Levels are used to grant varying permissions to specific user roles. User roles
are used by both Basic Security and CyberSentry.
The following user roles are supported:
•Administrator: The Administrator role has complete read and write access to all
settings and commands. The role does not allow concurrent access. The Administrator
role also has an operand to indicate when it is logged on.
•Operator: The Operator role is present to facilitate operational actions that may be
programmed and assigned to buttons on the front panel. The Operator has read/write
access to all settings under the command menu/section. The Operator can view
settings from EnerVista or the front panel but does not have the ability to change any
settings. This role is not a concurrent role.
•Observer: The Observer role has read-only access to all 869 settings. This role allows
concurrent access. The Observer is the default role if no authentication has been done
to the device. This role can download settings files and records from the device.
•Factory: This is an internal non-user accessible role used for manufacturing
diagnostics. The ability to enable or disable this role is a security setting that the
Administrator controls.
GENERAL RULES FOR USER ROLES WITH CYBERSENTRY
1.The only concurrent role is Observer. If the user is logged in through serial, front panel,
or over the network, that counts as the role being logged in for concurrency reasons.
2.Both EnerVista and the front panel provide a one-step logoff. For the front panel, the
root menu has a logoff command. From EnerVista right-clicking on a device and
providing a logoff function from the context menu is sufficient.
3.The EnerVista Login Screen has “User Name:” and “Password:” fields for the default
remote (Radius) authentication, but when a “Local Authentication” checkbox is
selected the “User Name:” field changes to a drop down menu where the user can
select one of the predefined roles on the 869.
