1.2 OVERVIEWCHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.2 Overview
1.2.1 Introduction to the 650 family of relays
The GE 650 family relay is a new generation of digital and multifunction equipment that is easily incorporated into
automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels.
1.2.2 Hardware architecture
1.2.2.1 F650 basic design
The 650 is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The 650 family can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming
device, or another 650 device.
The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as
programming logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input Elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The 650 isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output Elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital signals that can be used to
control field devices.
Figure 1-1: 650 concept block diagram
1-10F650 DIGITAL BAY CONTROLLERGEK-113000-AF
CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED1.2 OVERVIEW
1.2.2.2 F650 signal type
Contact Inputs/Outputs: Digital signals.
CT and VT inputs: Signals coming from the inputs of current and voltage transformers, used for monitoring the power
system signals.
Remote CAN Bus Inputs/Outputs: Signals associated with physical input/output contacts from a Remote Digital Input/
Output Module (CIO) connected to the 650 unit via the CAN Bus existing in options X, Y, Z, C and M for rear serial
communication board 1.
PLC: Programmable Logic Controller. Control module that enables the unit configuration (assignment of inputs/outputs)
and the implementation of logic circuits.
Protection Elements: Relay protection elements, for example: Overcurrent, overvoltage, etc.
Remote inputs and outputs: Provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote devices using IEC
61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.
Analog Inputs: Signals associated with transducers.
1.2.3 Communications architecture
A dedicated serial port is used for communication between the main processor and the human-machine interface. The
serial connection provides immunity against electromagnetic disturbances, thus increasing system safety.
All 650 units incorporate one RS232 (USB or DB9)serial port on the front of the relay. They can also incorporate up to two
additional communication modules on the rear.
One of the modules provides asynchronous serial communications, using different physical media (RS485 + cable remote
CAN bus I/O, plastic or glass fiber optic) depending on the selected model. The module incorporates two identical ports,
COM1 and COM2. The COM2 port is multiplexed with the front port. Additionally, this module may incorporate a port for
CAN bus communications, used for the connection to the remote CAN Bus I/O module. This feature increases the I/O
capability by up to 100% if the maximum number of I/Os available inside the relay is not enough for a specific application.
Available options are:
Table 1-1: Rear serial communications board 1
Board CodeFunctionality
FWithout additional communication ports
ATwo RS485 ports
PTwo Plastic F.O. ports
GTwo Glass F.O. ports
XTwo RS485 ports and a CAN port for remote CAN bus Inputs/Outputs
YTwo Plastic F.O. ports and a CAN port for remote CAN bus Inputs/Outputs (fiber)
ZTwo Glass F.O. ports and a CAN port for remote CAN bus Inputs/Outputs (fiber)
CCAN port for remote CAN Bus I/O (cable)
MRS485 + RS485 port and a CAN port for remote CAN Bus I/O (cable)
The other module provides Ethernet communications (ETH Port), using 10/100BaseTX (self-negotiable speed) or 100BaseFX
connectors, depending on the selected model. The most complete models include a double redundant 100BaseFX fiber
optic port. Redundancy is provided at the physical level, for options D and E; the unit incorporates internally duplicated
and independent controllers for extended system reliability and accessibility.

COne 10/100BaseTX port and one 100BaseFX port.
DOne 10/100BaseTX port and redundant 100BaseFX ports
ERedundant 10/100BaseTX ports
For options C and D you must select the active physical media, by means of an internal selector inside the module. The
factory configuration for this selection is the 10/100BaseTX port. For firmware versions 7.00 and above, the following
options are available:
G1588, 10/100 Base TX* + 100 Base TX
H1588, 10/100 Base TX* + 100 Base FX
JPRP, 1588, 10/100 Base TX* + Redundant 100 Base FX
KPRP, HSR, RSTP, 1588, 10/100 Base TX* + Redundant 100 Base FX
LPRP, 1588, 10/100 Base TX + Redundant 100 Base TX
MPRP, HSR, RSTP, 1588, 10/100 Base TX + Redundant 100 Base TX
Finally, internal communication with input and output modules is performed via an internal CAN Bus, independent of the
one used for remote CAN Bus I/Os. This provides increased communication speed, and acknowledgement of modules,
abnormalities, etc. As this is a serial port supporting a communications protocol, it provides immunity against external or
internal disturbances.

1.4 650 hardware
1.4.1 Mounting & wiring
Refer to Chapter 3. Hardware for detailed mounting and wiring instructions.
1.4.2 650 communications
The Enervista 650 Setup software communicates with the relay via the faceplate USB port in hardware 04 (E in order code)
orRS232 port or the rear RS485/Ethernet ports. To communicate via the faceplate RS232 port, a standard “straightthrough” 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 Figure 1-1: Relay- PC connection for RS232 front port. To communicate via
USB port a male A / male B USB shielded wire is needed
To communicate via the F650 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 shielded
twisted-pair (20, 22 or 24 AWG according to American standards; 0.25, 0.34 or 0.5 mm2 according to European standards)
connects the F485 converter to the F650 rear communication port.
To minimize communication errors that can be caused by external noise, a shielded twisted pair is recommended. In order
to avoid loops where external currents can flow, the cable shield must be grounded at one end only.
The converter box (-, +, GND) terminals are connected to the relay (SDA, SDB, GND) terminals respectively. For long
communications cables (longer than 1 km), the RS485 circuit must be terminated in an RC network (i.e. 120 ohm, 1 nF). This
circuit is shown in Figure 1-2: RS485 connection for 650 units, associated with the text Zt(*).
Figure 1-1: Relay- PC connection for RS232 front port
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. For correct operation, polarity must
be respected, although a different polarity will not damage the unit. For instance, the relays must be connected with all
RS485 SDA terminals connected together, and all SDB terminals connected together. This may result in confusion, as the
RS485 standard refers to terminals “A” and “B”, although many devices use terminals labeled “+” and “-“.
GEK-113000-AFF650 DIGITAL BAY CONTROLLER1-19
1.4 650 HARDWARECHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
As a general rule, terminals labeled “A” should be connected to terminals “-“, and terminals “B” to “+”. The GND terminal
should be connected to the common wire inside the shield, when provided. Otherwise, it should be connected to the shield.
Each relay should also be daisy chained to the next relay in the system. 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. Do not use other
connection configurations.
Lightening strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are provided internally. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.
Figure 1-2: RS485 connection for 650 units
To communicate through the F650 rear Ethernet port from a PC, a crossover cable is required. If the connection is
performed through a hub or a switch, a direct Ethernet cable is required.
1.4.3 Faceplate display
All messages are displayed on a 20x4 character LCD display. An optional graphic display is also available. Messages are
displayed in different languages depending on the model and configuration settings.

1.4.4 Maintenance
1.4.4.1 General maintenance
The F650 requires minimum maintenance once it is commissioned into service. F650 is a microprocessor based relay and
its characteristics do not change over time; as such no further functional tests are required. While the F650 performs
continual self-tests, it is recommended that maintenance be scheduled with other system maintenance. This maintenance
can involve in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
If it is concluded that the relay or one of its modules is of concern, contact GE Multilin or one of its representative for
prompt service.
1.4.4.2 In-service maintenance
1.Visual verification of the analog value integrity such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices in the
system).
2.Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages and LED indications.
3.Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust or loose wires.
4.Event recorder file download with further event analysis.
1.4.4.3 Out-of-service maintenance
1.Check wiring connections for firmness.
2.Analog value (current, voltages, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated test
uipment is required.

3.Protection element setpoint verification (analog values injec
relay settings).
4.Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the
syst
em functional testing.
5.Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion or dust.
6.Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
To avoid deterioration of electrolytic capacitors, power up units that are stored in a de-energized
state once per year, for one hour continuously.
