ADDENDUM

This addendum contains information that relates to the F60 Feeder Protec tion System, version 5.5x. This addendum
lists a number of information items that appear in the instruction manual GEK-113413B (revision S3) but are not
included in the current F60 operations.

The following functions and items are not yet available with the current version of the F60 relay:

• Signal sources SRC 3 to SRC 6.
Version 4.0x and higher releases of the F60 relay includes new hardware (CPU and CT/VT modules).

• The new CPU modules are specified with the following order codes: 9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R, and 9S.

• The new CT/VT modules are specified with the follow ing order codes: 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J 8L, 8M, 8N, 8R.
The following table maps the relationship between the old CPU and CT/VT modules to the newer versions:

MODULE OLD NEW DESCRIPTION

CPU 9A 9E RS485 and RS485 (Modbus RTU, DNP)

9C 9G RS485 and 10Base-F (Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP)
9D 9H RS485 and redundant 10Base-F (Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP)

--- 9J RS485 and multi-mode ST 100Base-FX

--- 9K RS485 and multi-mode ST redundant 100Base-FX

--- 9L RS485 and single mode SC 100Base-FX

--- 9M RS485 and single mode SC redundant 100Base-FX

--- 9N RS485 and 10/100Base-T

--- 9P RS485 and single mode ST 100Base-FX

--- 9R RS485 and single mode ST redundant 100Base-FX

--- 9S RS485 and six-port managed Ethernet switch

CT/VT 8A 8F Standard 4CT/4VT

8B 8G Sensitive ground 4CT/4VT
8C 8H Standard 8CT
8D 8J Sensitive ground 8CT/8VT

-- 8L Standard 4CT/4VT with enhanced diagnostics

-- 8M Sensitive ground 4CT/4VT with enhanced diagnostics

-- 8N Standard 8CT with enhanced diagnostics

-- 8R Sensitive ground 8CT/8VT with enhanced diagnostics

The new CT/VT modules can only be used with the new CPUs (9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R, and 9S), and
the old CT/VT modules can only be used with the old CPU modules (9A, 9C, 9D). To prevent any hardware mis­matches, the new CPU and CT/VT modules have blue labels and a warni ng sticker stating “Attn.: Ensure C PU and
DSP module label colors are the same!”. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module,
the relay will not function and a

All other input/output modules are compatible with the new hardware.
With respect to the firmware, firmware versions 4.0x and higher are only compatible with the new CPU and CT/VT mod-

ules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are only compatible with the older CPU and CT/VT modules.

DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be displayed.

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

1.2UR OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR

1

Historically, substation protection, control, and metering functions were performed with electromechanical e quipment. This
first generation of equipment was gradually replaced by analog electronic equipment, most of which emulated the single­function approach of their electromechanical precursors. Both of th ese technologi es required expensive cabling a nd auxil­iary equipment to produce functioning systems.

Recently, digital electronic equipment has begun to provide protectio n, control, and metering functions. Initially, this equip­ment was either single function or had very limited multi-function capability, and did not significantly reduce the cabling and
auxiliary equipment required. However, recent digital relays have become quite multi-functional, reducing cabling and aux­iliaries significantly. These devices also transfer data to central control facilities and Human Machine Interfaces using elec­tronic communications. The functions performed by these pro ducts have become so broad that many users now prefer the
term IED (Intelligent Electronic Device).

It is obvious to station designers that the amount of cabling and auxiliary equipment installed in stations can be even further
reduced, to 20% to 70% of the levels common in 1990, to achieve large cost r eductions. This requires placing eve n more
functions within the IEDs.

Users of power equipment are also interested in reducing cost by improving power quality and pe rsonnel productivity, and
as always, in increasing system reliability and efficiency. These objectives are realized through software which is used to
perform functions at both the station and supervisory levels. The use of these systems is growing rapidly.

High speed communications are required to meet the data tr ansfer rates required by moder n automatic control and moni­toring systems. In the near future, very high speed communications will be required to perform protection signaling with a
performance target response time for a command signal between two IEDs, from transmission to reception, of less than 3
milliseconds. This has been established by the IEC 61850 standard.

IEDs with the capabilities outlined above will also provide significantly more power system data than is presently available,
enhance operations and maintenance, and permit the use of adaptive system configuration for protection and control sys­tems. This new generation of equipment must also be easily incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and
enterprise levels. The GE Multilin Universal Relay (UR) has been developed to meet these goals.

1 GETTING STARTED 1.2 UR OVERVIEW

1.2.2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

a) UR BASIC DESIGN

The UR is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The UR can communicate over a local area network (LAN ) with an operator interface, a programming device, or
another UR device.

Figure 1–2: UR CONCEPT BLOCK DIAGRAM

The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well a s program­mable logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.

Input elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The UR isolates an d converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.

Output elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital or analog signals that can be used
to control field devices.

b) UR SIGNAL TYPES

The contact inpu t s and output s are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’
contacts are supported.

The vi rtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR-series internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include
signals generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic™ equation s used to customize
the device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic™ equations.

The analog inputs and outputs are signals that are associated with transducers, such as Resistance Temperature Detec-
tors (RTDs).

The CT and VT inputs refer to analog current transformer and voltage transformer signals used to monitor AC power lines.
The UR-series relays support 1 A and 5 A CTs.

The remote inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digi tal point state information between remote UR-series
devices. The remote outputs interface to the remote inputs of other UR-series devices. Remote outputs are FlexLogic™
operands inserted into IEC 61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.

The direct inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point states between a number of UR-series IEDs over a
dedicated fiber (single or multimode), RS422, or G.703 interface. No switching equipment is required as the IEDs are con­nected directly in a ring or redundant (dual) ring configuration. This featu re is optimized for speed and intended for pilot­aided schemes, distributed logic applications, or the extension of the input/output capabilities of a single relay chassis.

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

c) UR SCAN OPERATION

The UR-series devices operate in a cyclic scan fashion. The dev ice reads the inputs into an input status table, solves the

1

logic program (FlexLogic™ equation), and then sets each output to the appropriate state in an output status table. Any
resulting task execution is priority interrupt-driven.

1.2.3 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

The firmware (software embedded in the relay) is designed in functional modules wh ich can be installed in any relay as
required. This is achieved with object-oriented design and programming (OOD/OOP) techniques.

Object-oriented techniques involve the use of objects and classes. An object is defined as “a logical entity that contains
both data and code that manipulates that data”. A class is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this concept,
one can create a protection class with the protection elements as objects of the class, such as time overcurrent, instanta­neous overcurrent, current differential, undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency, and distance. These objects represent
completely self-contained software modules. The same object-class concept can be used for metering, input/output control,
hmi, communications, or any functional entity in the system.

Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the F60 achieves the same features as the hardware architecture:
modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any UR-series device (for example, feeder protection,
transformer protection, distance protection) is constructed by co mb in i ng o b j ects from the various functionality classes. Th i s
results in a common look and feel across the entire family of UR-series platform-based applications.

1.2.4 IMPORTANT CONCEPTS

As described above, the architecture of the UR-series relays differ from previous devices. To achieve a general understand­ing of this device, some sections of Chapter 5 are quite helpful. The most important functions of the relay are contained in
“elements”. A description of the UR-series elements can be found in the Introduction to elements section in chapter 5.
Examples of simple elements, and some of the organization of this manual, can be found in the Control elements section of
chapter 5. An explanation of the use of inputs from CT s and VTs is in the Introduction to AC sources section in chapter 5. A
description of how digital signals are used and routed within the relay is contained in the Introduction to FlexLogic™ section
in chapter 5.

Please refer to Chapter 3: Hardware for detailed mounting and wiring instructions. Review all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS
carefully.

1.4.2 COMMUNICATIONS

The EnerVista UR Setup software communicates to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port or the rear panel RS485 / Ether­net ports. To communicate via the faceplate RS232 port, a standard straight-through serial cable is used. The DB-9 male
end is connected to the relay and the DB-9 or DB-25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as described
in the CPU communications ports section of chapter 3.

Figure 1–7: RELAY COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS

To communicate through the F60 rear RS485 port from a PC RS232 port, the GE Multilin RS232/RS485 converter box is
required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a “straight-through” serial cable. A shield ed
twisted-pair (20, 22, or 24 AWG) connects the F485 converter to the F60 rear communications port. The converter termi­nals (+, –, GND) are connected to the F60 communicatio n module (+, –, COM) terminals. Refer to the CPU communica-
tions ports section in chapter 3 for option details. The line should be terminated wi th an R-C network (that is, 12 0 Ω, 1 nF)
as described in the chapter 3.

1.4.3 FACEPLATE DISPLAY

All messages are displayed on a 2 × 20 backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) to ma ke them visible under poor l ighting condi­tions. Messages are descriptive and should not re quire the aid of an instruction manual for decip hering. While the keypad
and display are not actively being used, th e display will default to user-defined messages. Any high priority event driven
message will automatically override the default message and appear on the display.

• Targets.

• User displays (when enabled).

1.5.3 MENU HIERARCHY

The setting and actual value messages are arranged hierarchically. The header display pages are indicated by double
scroll bar characters (), while sub-header pages are indicated by single scroll bar characters (). The header display
pages represent the highest level of the hierarchy and the sub-header display pages fall below this leve l. The MESSAGE
UP and DOWN keys move within a group of headers, sub-headers, setting values, or actual values. Continua lly pressing
the MESSAGE RIGHT key from a header display displays specific information for the header category. Conversely, contin­ually pressing the MESSAGE LEFT key from a setting value or actual value display returns to the header display.

software interface.

1.5.5 RELAY PASSWORDS

It is recommended that passwords be set up for each security level and assigned to specific personnel. There are two user
password security access levels, COMMAND and SETTING:

1. COMMAND

The COMMAND access level restricts the user from making any settings changes, but allows the user to perform the fol­lowing operations:

• operate breakers via faceplate keypad

• change state of virtual inputs

• clear event records

• clear oscillography records

• operate user-programmable pushbuttons

2. SETTING

The SETTING access level allows the user to make any changes to any of the setting values.

Refer to the Changing Settings section in Chapter 4 for co mplete instructions on setting u p security level
passwords.

NOTE

1.5.6 FLEXLOGIC™ CUSTOMIZATION

FlexLogic™ equation editing is required for setting up user-defined logic for customizing the relay operations. See the Flex­Logic™ section in Chapter 5 for additional details.

1.5.7 COMMISSIONING

The F60 requires a minimum amount of maintenance when it is commissioned into service. Since the F60 is a microproces­sor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over time. As such, no further functional tests are required.

Furthermore, the F60 performs a number of continual self-tests and takes the necessary action in case of any major errors
(see the Relay Self-tests section in chapter 7 for details). However, it is recommended that F60 maintenance be scheduled
with other system maintenance. This maintenance may involve the in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.

In-service maintenance:

1. Visual verification of the analog values integrity such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices on the cor-

responding system).

2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.

3. LED test.

4. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.

5. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
Out-of-service maintenance:

1. Check wiring connections for firmness.

2. Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated

test equipment is required.

3. Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries against relay

settings schedule).

4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the

system functional testing.

5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.

6. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.

7. LED Test and pushbutton continuity check.
Unscheduled maintenance such as during a disturbance causing system interruption:

1. View the event recorder and oscillography or fault report for correct operation of inputs, outputs, and elements.
If it is concluded that the relay or one of its modules is of concern, contact GE Multilin for prompt service.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1INTRODUCTION 2.1.1 OVERVIEW

The F60 Feeder Protection System is a microprocessor based relay designed for feeder protection.
Overvoltage and undervoltage protection, overfrequency and underfrequency protection, breaker failure protection, direc-

tional current supervision, fault diagnostics, RTU, and programmable logic functions are provided. This relay also provides
phase, neutral, ground and negative sequence, instantaneous and time overcurrent pr otection. The time overcurrent func­tion provides multiple curve shapes or FlexCurves™ for optimum co-ord ination. Automatic reclosing, synchrocheck, and
line fault locator features are also provided. When equipped with a type 8Z CT/VT module, an element for detecting high
impedance faults is provided.

Voltage, current, and power metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current parameters are available as total
waveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).

Diagnostic features include a sequence of records capable of storing 1024 ti me-tagged events. The internal cl ock used for
time-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal o r via the SNTP protocol over the Ethernet port. This precise time
stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events can also be programmed (via
FlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture which may be set to record the measured parameters before
and after the event for viewing on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce troubleshooting time and sim­plify report generation in the event of a system fault.

A faceplate RS232 port may be used to connect to a PC for the programming of settings and the monitoring of actual val­ues. A variety of communications modules are available. Two rear RS485 ports allow independent access by operating and
engineering staff. All serial ports use the Modbus

®

RTU protocol. The RS485 ports may be connected to system computers
with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. Optional communications modules
include a 10Base-F Ethernet interface which can be used to provide fast, reliable communications in noisy environments.
Another option provides two 10Base-F fiber optic ports for redundancy. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus
TCP, and TFTP protocols, and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (F60 web pages). The IEC 60870­5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. DNP 3.0 and IEC 60870-5-104 cannot be enabled at the same time.

The F60 IEDs use flash memory technology which allows fi eld upgra ding as new features are added. T he follo wing single
line diagram illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American National Standards Institute) device numbers.

ETHERNET SWITCH FIBER OPTIC PORTS

Maximum fiber segment length calculation:
The maximum fiber segment length between two adjacent

switches or between a switch and a device is calculated as fol­lows. First, calculate the optical power budget (OPB) of each
device using the manufacturer’s data sheets.

OPB P

where OPB = optical power budget, P
and P

= receiver sensitivity.

R

The worst case optical power budget (OPB
lated by taking the lower of the two calculated power budgets, sub-

–=

TMIN()PRMIN()

= transmitter output power,

T

WORST

) is then calcu-

tracting 1 dB for LED aging, and then subtracting the total insertion
loss. The total insertion loss is calculated by multiplying the num­ber of connectors in each single fiber path by 0.5 dB. For example,
with a single fiber cable between the two devices, there will be a
minimum of two connections in either transmit or receive fiber
paths for a total insertion loss of 1db for either direction:

Total insertion loss number of connectors 0.5 dB×=

2 0.5 dB×= 1.0 dB=

The worst-case optical power budget between two type 2T or 2S
modules using a single fiber cable is:

OPB

WORST

OPB 1 dB (LED aging)– total insertion loss–=

10dB 1dB– 1dB– 8dB=

To calculate the maximum fiber length, divide the worst-case opti­cal power budget by the cable attenuation per unit distance speci­fied in the manufacturer data sheets. For example, typical
attenuation for 62.5/125 μm glass fiber optic cable is approxi-
mately 2.8 dB per km. In our example, this would result in the fol­lowing maximum fiber length:

Maximum fiber length

OPB

=

-------------------------------------------------------

cable loss (in dB/km)

8 dB

---------------------------= 2.8km=

2.8 dB/km

The customer must use the attenuation specified within the manu­facturer data sheets for accurate calculation of the maximum fiber
length.

WARNING

The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced with
like modules in their original factory configured slots.

The enhanced faceplate can be opened to the left, once the thumb screw has been removed, as shown below. This allows
for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal. The new wide-angle hinge assembly in the enhanced front panel opens
completely and allows easy access to all modules in the F60.

unit. Inserting an incorrect module type into a slot may result in personal injury, damage to the unit or con­nected equipment, or undesired operation!

Proper electrostatic discharge protection (for example, a static strap) must be used when coming in con­tact with modules while the relay is energized!

The standard faceplate can be opened to the left, once the sliding latch on the right side has been pushed up, as shown
below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal.

Figure 3–7: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION (ENHANCED FACEPLATE)

Figure 3–8: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION (STANDARD FACEPLATE)

To properly remove a module, the ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pull ed
simultaneously. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay. Record the original loca­tion of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot. Modules with current
input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits.

To properly insert a module, ensure that the correct module typ e is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/
inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the modu le is
smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simultaneously.
When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

All CPU modules except the 9E are equipped with 10/100Base-T or 100Base-F Ether net connectors. These con­nectors must be individually disconnected from the module before it can be removed from the chassis.

3 HARDWARE 3.1 DESCRIPTION

The 4.0x release of the F60 relay includes new hardware modules.The new CPU modules are specified with codes
9E and higher. The new CT/VT modules are specified with the codes 8F and higher.

NOTE

The new CT/VT modules can only be used with new CPUs; similarly, old CT/VT modules can only be used with old
CPUs. To prevent hardware mismatches, the new modules have blue labels and a warning sticker stating “Attn.:
Ensure CPU and DSP module label colors are the same!”. In the event that there is a misma tch between the
CPU and CT/VT module, the relay will not function and a

DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be dis-

played.
All other input and output modules are compatible with the new hardwa re. Firmware versions 4.0x and higher are

only compatible with the new hardware modules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are only com­patible with the older hardware modules.

WARNING

The relay follows a convention with respect to terminal number assign ments which are three characters long assigned in
order by module slot position, row number, and column letter. Two-slot wide modules take their slot designation from the
first slot position (nearest to CPU module) which is indicated by an arrow marker on the terminal block. See the following

CONTROL POWER SUPPLIED TO THE RELAY MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MA TCHING POWER SUPPLY

CAUTION

OCCUR!
The F60 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are well

known to be subject to deterioration over ti me if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be

NOTE

avoided by powering the relays up once a year.

The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, with o r withou t a re dun dant power op tio n. Each
range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ra nges are as shown below (see the Technical specifica-
tions section of chapter 2 for additional details):

• Low (LO) range: 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal.

• High (HI) range: 125 to 250 V nominal.
The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.
The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see the

Typical wiring diagram earlier). The critical failure relay is a form-C devic e that will be energized once control power is
applied and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If on-going self-test diagnostic checks
detect a critical failure (see the Self-test errors section in chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay will de-energize.

For high reliability systems, the F60 has a redundant option in which two F60 power su pplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply will assume the full load of the relay without any
interruptions. Each power supply has a green LED on the front of the module to indicate it is functional. The critical fail relay
of the module will also indicate a faulted power supply.

3.2.4 CT/VT MODULES

CT/VT modules may be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current input. Each AC
current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting me chanism that shorts the input when the mo dule is
withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current transformers with 1 to
50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries may be used.

CT/VT modules with a sensitive ground input are also available. The g round CT input of the sensitive ground modules is
ten times more sensitive than the ground CT input of standard CT/VT modules. However, the phase CT inputs and phase
VT inputs are the same as those of regular CT/VT modules.

The above modules are available with enhanced diagnostics. These modules can automatically detect CT/VT hardware
failure and take the relay out of service.

CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical as shown in the Typical wiring diagram.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence core balance CT to detect ground fault current is shown below. Twisted-pair

cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

A relay configured for high impedance fault detection element includes two CT/VT modules: one type 8F, 8G, 8H, or 8J
module and one type 8Z module. For correct operation of the high impedance fault detection element, the ground current
terminals of the two CT modules must be connected to a ground current source, either a zero-sequence CT (see the Typi-
cal wiring diagram with high impedance fault detection earlier in this chap ter) or, if a zero-sequence CT is not available, to
the neutral conductor of the phase CT s (see diagram below).

Figure 3–16: TYPICAL 8Z MODULE WIRING WITH PHASE CTS

Every digital input/output module has 24 terminal connections. T hey are arranged as three terminals per row, with eight
rows in total. A given row of three terminals may be used for the outputs of one relay. For example, for form-C relay outputs,
the terminals connect to the normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common contacts of the relay. For a form-A
output, there are options of using current or voltage detection for feature supervision, dep ending on the module ordered.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications.

The digital inputs are grouped with a common return. The F60 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common return
and two inputs per common return. When a digital input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used. The four
inputs per common allows for high-density inputs in combination with outputs, with a compromise of four inputs sharing one
common. If the inputs must be isolated per row, then two inputs per common return should be selected (4D module).

The tables and diagrams on the following pages illustrate the module type s (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that may
be ordered for the relay. Since an entire row is used for a single contact output, the name is assigned using the module slot
position and row number. However, since there are two contact inputs per row, these names are assigned by mod ule slot
position, row number, and column position.

Some form-A / solid-state relay outputs include circuits to monitor the DC voltage across the output contact when it is open,
and the DC current through the output contact when it is closed. Each of the monitors contains a level detector whose ou t­put is set to logic “On = 1” when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to “On =
1” when the current is above about 1 to 2.5 mA, and the current monitor is set to “On = 1” when the current exceeds about
80 to 100 mA. The voltage monitor is intended to check the health of the overall trip circuit, and th e current mon itor can be
used to seal-in the output contact until an external contact has interrupted current flow.

Block diagrams are shown below for form-A and form-A / solid-state relay outputs with optional voltage monitor, optional
current monitor, and with no monitoring

USE OF FORM-A AND SOLID-STATE RELAY OUTPUTS IN HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS

For form-A and solid-state relay output contacts internally equipped with a voltage measuring cIrcuit across the

NOTE

contact, the circuit has an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input
impedance monitoring equipment such as modern relay test set trigger circuits. These monitoring circuits may con­tinue to read the form-A contact as being closed after it has closed and subsequently opened, w hen measured as
an impedance.

The solution to this problem is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the form-

3

A contact through a voltage-dropping resistor to a DC voltage source. If the 48 V DC output of the power supply is
used as a source, a 500 Ω, 10 W resisto r is appropriate. In this configuration , the voltage across either the fo rm-A
contact or the resistor can be used to monitor the state of the output.

Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the mo dule; wherever a number
sign "#" appears, substitute the contact number

NOTE

When current monitoring is used to seal-in the form-A and solid-state relay contact outputs, the Flex­Logic™ operand driving the contact output should be given a reset delay o f 10 ms to prevent damage of

NOTE

the output contact (in situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at values in the
region of the pickup value).

CONTACT INPUTS:

A dry contact has one side connected to terminal B3b. This is the positive 48 V DC voltage rail supplied by the p ower sup­ply module. The other side of the dry contact is co nnected to the required contact input terminal. Each contact input group
has its own common (negative) terminal which must be connected to the DC negative terminal (B3a) of the power supply
module. When a dry contact closes, a current of 1 to 3 mA will flow through the associated circuit.

A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact
is connected to the required contact input terminal. If a wet contact is used, then the negative side of the external source
must be connected to the relay common (negative) terminal of each contact group. The maximum external source vol tage
for this arrangement is 300 V DC.

The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs will detect a closed contact input is programmable as
17 V DC for 24 V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.

Contact outputs may be ordered as form-a or form-C. The form-A contacts may be connected for external circuit supervi­sion. These contacts are provided with voltage and current monitoring circuits used to detect the loss of DC voltage in the
circuit, and the presence of DC current flowing through the contacts when the form-A contact closes. If enabled, the current
monitoring can be used as a seal-in signal to ensure that the form-A contact does not attempt to break the energized induc­tive coil circuit and weld the output contacts.

There is no provision in the relay to detect a DC ground fau lt on 48 V DC control power external output. We
recommend using an external DC supply.

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING:

The contact inputs sense a change of the state of the external device contact based on the measured current. When exter­nal devices are located in a harsh industrial environment (either outdoor or indoor), their contacts can be exposed to vari­ous types of contamination. Normally, there is a thin film of insulating sulfidation, oxidation, or contaminates on the surface
of the contacts, sometimes making it difficult or impossible to detect a change of the state. This film must be removed to
establish circuit continuity – an impulse of higher than normal current can accomplish this.

The contact inputs with auto-burnish create a high current impulse when the threshold is reached to burn off this oxidation
layer as a maintenance to the contacts. Afterwards the contact input current is reduced to a steady-state current. The
impulse will have a 5 second delay after a contact input changes state.

842749A1.CDR

Figure 3–22: CURRENT THROUGH CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING

Regular contact inputs limit current to less than 3 mA to reduce station battery burden. In contrast, contact inputs with auto­burnishing allow currents up to 50 to 70 mA at the first instance when the change of state was sensed. Then, within 25 to
50 ms, this current is slowly reduced to 3 mA as indicated above. The 50 to 70 mA peak current burns any film on the con­tacts, allowing for proper sensing of state changes. If the external device contact is bouncing, the auto-burnishing starts
when external device contact bouncing is over.

Another important difference between the auto-burnishing input module and the regular input modules is that only two con­tact inputs have common ground, as opposed to four contact inputs sharing one common ground (refe r to the Digital Input/
Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting c ontact inputs to separate voltage sources. Conse­quently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs.

The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled usi ng the DIP switches found on each daughter card. Th ere is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.

3.2.6 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Transducer input modules can receive input signals from external dcmA output transducers (dcmA In) or resistance tem­perature detectors (RTD). Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from these external transducers and con­vert these signals into a digital format for use as required.

Transducer output modules provide DC current outputs in several standard dcmA ranges. Software is provided to configure
virtually any analog quantity used in the relay to drive the analog outputs.

Every transducer input/output module has a total of 24 terminal connections. These connections are arranged as three ter­minals per row with a total of eight rows. A given row may be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative po larity. Since an entire row is used for a single input/
output channel, the name of the channel is assigned using the module slot position and row number.

Each module also requires that a connection from an extern al ground bus be made to terminal 8b. The current outputs
require a twisted-pair shielded cable, where the shield is grounded a t one end only. The figure below illustrates the trans-

3

ducer module types (5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that may be ordered for the relay.

b) RS485 PORTS

RS485 data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternat­ing over the same two wires. Through the use of these ports, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system or PLC is possible.

To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity must also be
observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 “+” terminals connected togeth er, and all RS485 “–”
terminals connected together. The COM terminal should be connected to the common wire inside th e shield, when pro­vided. To avoid loop currents, the shield should be grounded at one point only. Each relay should also be daisy chained to
the next one in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For
larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to
increase the number of relays on a single channel to more than 32. Star or stub connections should be avoided entirely.

Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large mo mentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communi cation ports. An iso­lated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.

Both ends of the RS485 circuit should also be terminated with an impedance as shown below.

CAUTION

The fiber optic communication ports allow for fast and efficient communications between relays at 10Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Optical fiber may be connected to the relay supporting a wavelength of 820 nm in multi-mode or 1310 nm in multi-mode
and single-mode. The 10 Mbps rate is available for CPU modules 9G and 9H; 100Mbps is available for modules 9H, 9J, 9K,
9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, and 9R. The 9H, 9K, 9M, and 9R modules have a second pair of identical optical fiber transmitter and
receiver for redundancy.

The optical fiber sizes supported include 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm and 100/140 µm for 10 Mbps. The fiber optic port is
designed such that the response times will not vary for any core that is 100 µm or less in di ameter, 62.5 µm for 100 Mbps.

3

For optical power budgeting, splices are required every 1 km for the transmitter/receiver pair. When splicing optical fibers,
the diameter and numerical aperture of each fiber must be the same. In order to engage or disengage the ST type connec­tor, only a quarter turn of the coupling is required.

CONNECTORS CAN LEAD TO HIGH LOSSES ON A FIBER LINK.

3.3DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS 3.3.1 DESCRIPTION

The F60 direct inputs and outputs feature makes use of the type 7 series of communications modules. These mod ules are
also used by the L90 Line Differential Relay for inter-relay communications. The direct input and output feature uses the
communications channels provided by these modules to exchange digital state information between relays. This feature is
available on all UR-series relay models except for the L90 Line Differential relay.

The communications channels are normally connected in a ring configuration as shown below. The transmitter of one mod­ule is connected to the receiver of the next module. The transmitter of this second module is then connected to the receiver
of the next module in the ring. This is continued to form a communications ring. The figure below illustrates a ring of four
UR-series relays with the following connections: UR1-Tx to UR2-Rx, UR2-Tx to UR3-Rx, UR3-Tx to UR4-Rx, and UR 4-Tx
to UR1-Rx. A maximum of sixteen (16) UR-series relays can be connected in a single ring

The following figure shows the 64K ITU G.703 co-directional interface configuration.

The G.703 module is fixed at 64 kbps. The

SETTINGS Ö PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ DIRECT I/O ÖØ DIRECT I/O DATA RATE

setting is not applicable to this module.

AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external connections, with the shield grounded only at one end. Con­necting the shield to pin X1a or X6a grounds the shield since these pins are internally connected to ground. Thus, if pin X1a
or X6a is used, do not ground at the other end. This interface module is protected by surge suppression devices.

b) G.703 SELECTION SWITCH PROCEDURES

1. Remove the G.703 module (7R or 7S). The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the botto m of each module,
must be pulled simultaneously in order to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control
power must be removed from the relay. The original location of the module should be recorded to help ensure that
the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.

2. Remove the module cover screw.

3. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.

4. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes.

5. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.

6. Re-insert the G.703 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position.
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of ea ch module must be in the disengaged position as
the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the
clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

Table 3–5: G.703 TIMING SELECTIONS

SWITCHES FUNCTION

S1 OFF → octet timing disabled

S5 and S6 S5 = OFF and S6 = OFF → loop timing mode

c) G.703 OCTET TIMING

If octet timing is enabled (on), this 8 kHz signal will be asserted during the violation of bit 8 (LSB) necessary for connecting
to higher order systems. When F60s are connected back to back, octet timing should be disabled (off).

d) G.703 TIMING MODES

There are two timing modes for the G.703 module: internal timing mode and loop timing mode (default).

• Internal Timing Mode: The system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection should be in
the internal timing mode for back-to-back (UR-to-UR) conn ections. For back-to-back connections, set for octet timing
(S1 = OFF) and timing mode to internal timing (S5 = ON and S6 = OFF).

• Loop Timing Mode: The system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems. For connection to a higher order system (UR­to-multiplexer, factory defaults), set to octet timing (S1 = ON) and set timing mode to loop timing (S5 = OFF and S6 =
OFF).

ON → octet timing 8 kHz

S5 = ON and S6 = OFF → internal timing mode
S5 = OFF and S6 = ON → minimum remote loopback mode
S5 = ON and S6 = ON → dual loopback mode

The switch settings for the internal and loop timing modes are shown below:

842752A1.CDR

e) G.703 TEST MODES

In minimum remote loopback mode, the multiplexer is enabled to return the data from the external interface without any
processing to assist in diagnosing G.703 line-side problems irrespective of clock rate. Data enters from the G.703 inputs,
passes through the data stabilization latch which also restores the proper signal polarity, passes through the multiplexer
and then returns to the transmitter. The differential received data is processed and passed to the G.703 transmitter module
after which point the data is discarded. The G.703 receiver module is fully functional and continues to process data and
passes it to the differential Manchester transmitter module. Since timing is returned as it is received, the timing sour ce is
expected to be from the G.703 line side of the interface.

Figure 3–38: G.703 MINIMUM REMOTE LOOPBACK MODE

In dual loopback mode, the multiplexers are active and the function s of the circuit are divide d into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their re spective signals. Differential Manchester data
enters the Differential Manchester receiver module and then is returned to the differential Manchester transmitter module.
Likewise, G.703 data enters the G.703 receiver module and is passed through to the G.703 transmitter module to be
returned as G.703 data. Because of the complete split in the communicatio ns path and because, in each case, the clocks
are extracted and reconstructed with the outgoing data, in this mode there must be two independent sources of timing. One
source lies on the G.703 line side of the interface while the other lies on the differential Manchester side of the interface.

3.3.5 RS422 INTERFACE

a) DESCRIPTION

There are two RS422 inter-relay communications modules avai lable: singl e-chan nel RS4 22 (module 7T ) and dual -ch ann el
RS422 (module 7W). The modules can be configured to run at 64 kbps or 128 kbps. AWG 24 twisted shielded pair cable is
recommended for external connections. These modules are protected by optically-isolated surge suppression devices.

The shield pins (6a and 7b) are internally connected to the ground pin (8a). Proper shi eld termination is as follows:

• Site 1: Terminate shield to pins 6a or 7b or bo th.

• Site 2: Terminate shield to COM pin 2b.

The clock terminating impedance should match the impedance of the line.

The following figure shows the typical pin interconnection between two single-channel RS422 interfaces installed in slot W.
All pin interconnections are to be maintained for a connection to a multiplexer.

Figure 3–41: TYPICAL PIN INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN TWO RS422 INTERFACES

b) TWO-CHANNEL APPLICATION VIA MULTIPLEXERS

The RS422 interface may be used for single channel or two channel applic ations over SONET/SDH or multiplexed sys­tems. When used in single-channel applications, the RS422 interface links to highe r order systems in a typical fashion
observing transmit (Tx), receive (Rx), and send timing (ST) connections. However, when used in two-channel applications,
certain criteria must be followed since there is one clock input for the two RS422 channels. The system will function cor­rectly if the following connections are observed and your data module has a terminal timing feature. Terminal timing is a
common feature to most synchronous data units that allows the module to accept timing from an external source. Using the
terminal timing feature, two channel applications can be achieved if th ese connections are follow ed: The send timing out­puts from the multiplexer (data module 1), will connect to the clock inputs of the UR–RS422 interface in the u sual fashion.
In addition, the send timing outputs of data module 1 will also be paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2.
By using this configuration, the timing for both data modules and both UR–RS422 cha nnels will be derived from a single
clock source. As a result, data sampling for both of the UR–RS422 channels will be synchronized via the send timing leads
on data module 1 as shown below. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not desired, the
G.703 interface is a viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

Data module 1 provides timing to the F60 RS422 interface via the ST(A) and ST(B) outputs. Data module 1 also provi des
timing to data module 2 TT(A) and TT(B) inputs via the ST(A) and AT(B) outputs. The dat a module pin numbers have been
omitted in the figure above since they may vary depending on the manufacturer.

c) TRANSMIT TIMING

The RS422 interface accepts one clock input for transmit timing. It is important that the rising edge of the 64 kHz transmit
timing clock of the multiplexer interface is sampling the data in the center of the transmit data window. Therefore, it is impor­tant to confirm clock and data transitions to ensure proper system operation. For example, the foll owing figure shows the
positive edge of the Tx clock in the center of the Tx data bit.

Tx Clock

Tx Data

Figure 3–43: CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS

d) RECEIVE TIMING

The RS422 interface utilizes NRZI-MARK modulation code and; therefore, does not rely on an Rx clock to reca pture data.
NRZI-MARK is an edge-type, invertible, self-clocking code.

GE Multilin F60 Feeder Protection System 3-35

3.3 DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS 3 HARDWARE

To recover the Rx clock from the data-stream, an integrated DPLL (digital phase lock loop) circuit is utilized. The DPLL is
driven by an internal clock, which is 16-times over-sampled, and uses this clock along with the data-stream to generate a
data clock that can be used as the SCC (serial communication controller) receive clock.

via the RS422 interface (possibly with a multiplexer) and channel 2 via direct fiber.

AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external RS422 connections and the shield should be grounded only at
one end. For the direct fiber channel, power budget issues should be addressed properly.

3.3.8 IEEE C37.94 INTERFACE

The UR-series IEEE C37.94 communication modules (modules types 2G, 2H, 76, and 77) are designed to interface with
IEEE C37.94 compliant digital multiplexers or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with direct input and
output applications for firmware revisions 3.30 and higher. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link
for synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard
provides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication modul es are either
64 kbps (with n fixed at 1) for 128 kbps (with n fixed at 2). The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union
(ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at
a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit rate of 2048 kbps.

The specifications for the module are as follows:.

• IEEE standard: C37.94 for 1 × 64 kbps optical fiber interface (for 2G and 2H modules) or C37.94 for 2 × 64 kbps optical

fiber interface (for 76 and 77 modules).

• Fiber optic cable type: 50 mm or 62.5 mm core diameter optical fiber.

• Fiber optic mode: multi-mode.

• Fiber optic cable length: up to 2 km.

• Fiber optic connector: type ST.

• Wavelength: 830 ±40 nm.

• Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected di rectl y to any compliant digital multiplexe r that supports

the IEEE C37.94 standard as shown below.

3

The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected to the electrical interface (G.703, RS422, or X.21) of a
non-compliant digital multiplexer via an optical-to-electrical interface converter that su pports the IEEE C37.94 standard, as
shown below.

The UR-series C37.94 communication module has six (6) switches that are used to set the clock configuration. The func­tions of these control switches is shown below.

3.3 DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS 3 HARDWARE

For the internal timing mode, the system clock is generated internally. therefore, the timing switch selection should be inter­nal timing for relay 1 and loop timed for relay 2. There must be only one timing source configured.

For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the timing selecti on
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems.

The IEEE C37.94 communications module cover removal procedure is as follows:

1. Remove the IEEE C37.94 module (type 2G, 2H, 76, or 77 module):
The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module, must be pul led simultaneously in order

to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay.
The original location of the module should be recorded to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted
into the correct slot.

2. Remove the module cover screw.

3. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.

4. Set the timing selection switches (channel 1, channel 2) to the desired timing modes (see description above).

5. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.

6. Re-insert the IEEE C37.94 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot
position. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged posi­tion as the module is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis,
engage the clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.

fiber optics to 1300 nm ELED single-mode fiber optics. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for
synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection dev ice. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard pro­vides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,…, 12. The UR-series C37.94SM communication module is 64 kbps only
with n fixed at 1. The frame is a valid Internationa l Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from
the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit
rate of 2048 kbps.

The specifications for the module are as follows:

• Emulated IEEE standard: emulates C37.94 for 1 × 64 kbps optical fiber interface (modules set to n = 1 or 64 kbps).

• Fiber optic cable type: 9/125 μm core diameter optical fiber.

• Fiber optic mode: single-mode, ELED compatible with HP HFBR-1315T transmitter and HP HFBR-2316T receiver.

• Fiber optic cable length: up to 10 km.

• Fiber optic connector: type ST.

• Wavelength: 1300 ±40 nm.

• Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required.
The UR-series C37.94SM communication module can be connected directly to any complia nt digital multiplexer that sup-

ports C37.94SM as shown below.

3.4.4 CONFIGURING THE MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH MODULE

A suitable IP/gateway and subnet mask must be assigned to both the switch and the UR relay for correct operation. The
Switch has been shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Consu lt your net­work administrator to determine if the default IP address, subnet mask or default gateway needs to be modified.

Do not connect to network while configuring the switch module.

CAUTION

a) CONFIGURING THE SWITCH MODULE IP SETTINGS

In our example configuration of both the Switch’s IP address and subnet mask must b e changed to 3.94.247.229 and

255.255.252.0 respectively. The IP address, subnet mask and default gateway can be configured using either EnerVista

UR Setup software, the Switch’s Secure Web Management (SWM), or through the console port using CLI.

1. Select the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > Ethernet Switch > Configure IP menu item to open the

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE

4 HUMAN INTERFACES 4.1ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a UR device.
The alternate human interface is implemented via the device’s faceplate keypad and display (refer to the Faceplate inter-
face section in this chapter).

The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and trouble-shoot the operation
of relay functions, connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (off-line)
or connected ( on-line) to a UR device. In off-line mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the
device. In on-line mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.

The EnerVista UR Setup software, provided with every F60 relay, can be run from any computer supporting Microsoft

®

95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista UR Setup software interface

dows
features. The EnerVista UR Setup Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista UR Setup software
interface.

4.1.2 CREATING A SITE LIST

To start using the EnerVista UR Setup software, a site definition and device definition must first be created. See the EnerV­ista UR Setup Help File or refer to the Connecting EnerVista UR Setup with the F60 section in Chapter 1 for details.

4.1.3 ENERVISTA UR SETUP OVERVIEW

a) ENGAGING A DEVICE

The EnerVista UR Setup software may be used in on-line mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with the F60
relay. Communicating relays are organized and grouped by communication interfaces and into sites. Sites may contain any
number of relays selected from the UR-series of relays.

Win-

b) USING SETTINGS FILES

The EnerVista UR Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:

• In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.

• While connected to a communicating relay to directly modify any relay settin gs via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay.

• You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay.

Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:

• Device definition

• Product setup

• System setup

• FlexLogic™

• Grouped elements

• Control elements

• Inputs/outputs

• Testing

Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.

c) CREATING AND EDITING FLEXLOGIC™

You can create or edit a FlexLogic™ equation in order to customize the relay. You can subsequently view the automatically
generated logic diagram.

GE Multilin F60 Feeder Protection System 4-1

4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4 HUMAN INTERFACES

d) VIEWING ACTUAL VALUES

You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters.

e) VIEWING TRIGGERED EVENTS

While the interface is in either on-line or off-line mode, you can view and analyze data generated by tri ggered specified
parameters, via one of the following:

• Event Recorder facility: The event recorder captures contextual da ta associated with the last 1024 events, listed in
chronological order from most recent to oldest.

• Oscillography facility: The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of
power system and relay operation data captured during specific triggered events.

f) FILE SUPPORT

• Execution: Any EnerVista UR Setup file which is double clicked or opened will launch the application, or provide focus
to the already opened application. If the file was a settings file (has a URS extension) which had been removed from
the Settings List tree menu, it will be added back to the Settings List tree menu.

• Drag and Drop: The Site List and Settings List control bar windows are each mutually a drag source and a drop target
for device-order-code-compatible files or individual menu items. Also, the Settings List control bar window and any

4

Windows Explorer directory folder are each mutually a file drag source and drop target.
New files which are dropped into the Settings List window are added to the tree which is automatically sorted alphabet-

ically with respect to settings file names. Files or individual menu items which are dropped in the selected device menu
in the Site List window will automatically be sent to the on-line communicating device.

g) FIRMWARE UPGRADES

The firmware of a F60 device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the EnerVista UR Setup software. The correspond­ing instructions are provided by the EnerVista UR Setup Help file under the topic “Upgrading Firmware”.

Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default
values, minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to versio n of firm-

NOTE

ware. The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enha nced or modified.

EEPROM DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test

The
message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This
message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.

4.1.5 SETTINGS TEMPLATES

842786A2.CDR

4.1 ENERVISTA UR SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE 4 HUMAN INTERFACES

In these situations, typically 90% or greater of the settings are identical betwe en all devices. The te mplates feature allows
engineers to configure and test these common settings, then lock them so they are not available to users. For example,
these locked down settings can be hidden from view for field engineers, allowing them to quickly identify an d concentrate
on the specific settings.

The remaining settings (typically 10% or less) can be specified as editable and be made available to field engineers install­ing the devices. These will be settings such as protection element pickup values and CT and VT ratios.

The settings template mode allows the user to define which setting s will be visible in EnerVista UR Setup. Settings tem­plates can be applied to both settings files (settings file templates) and online devices (online settings templates). The func­tionality is identical for both purposes.

The settings template feature requires that both the EnerVista UR Setup software and the F60 firmware are at ver­sions 5.40 or higher.
