OVERVIEW

1.1.1. INSPECTION CHECKLIST

- Open the relay packaging and inspect the relay for physical damage.
Refer to the label on the side of the relay verifies that the model number is the correct model ordered.

FIGURE 1-2 IDENTIFICATION LABEL (A4454P5)

- Please ensure that you receive the following items with your CIO unit:

- Mounting screws for rear terminals and for fixing the relay to a cabinet

- Wiring diagram

OVERVIEW

1.1.2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The CIO ground screw located on the rear of the unit must be correctly grounded.
This is required not only for personal protection, but also for avoiding a voltage difference between the CIO serial port

and the master unit port, which could produce anomalies in communication.
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage in the relay or connected equipment whenever this elemental

safety rule is not followed.

OVERVIEW

1.2. OVERVIEW

1.2.1. INTRODUCTION TO F650 AND F600 FAMILY OF RELAYS

This platform of relays has been designed to meet the goals that are appearing nowadays in the environment of new
substations. Historically, protection, control and metering functions have been performed by electromechanical
elements at the beginning, then static devices, and finally by digital equipment able to integrate all these functions in
a single device, called IED (Intelligent Electronic Device).

Due to the huge number of signals to be controlled and monitored nowadays in a substation environment, there is a
new need for a great number of digital inputs and outputs to retrieve states and to signal or perform all different
operations. CIO units respond to this need, allowing connection to F650 and F600 IEDs, and increasing the number
of available inputs and outputs depending on the connected equipment.

1.2.2. HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

CIO units incorporate a series of interconnected modules to operate. These modules are a power supply and
input/output boards.

CIO

FIGURE 1-3 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

As shown on the diagram above, Contact Inputs/Outputs are signals associated to physical input/output contacts in
the relay, and their status is sent/received through the CAN BUS of the associated equipment, F600 or F650.

This CAN connection to the master unit can be made through fiber optic cable or through copper ca ble.
CIO units can incorporate up to two I/O boards, each of which must have a unique address in the system. For this

purpose, there is a switch at the rear of the unit with 16 positions (0 to F), that allows indicating the address for board
H. The address of board J is fixed to “board H address + 1”.

Each I/O board includes a microprocessor that manages communication with the master unit, as well as sampling
and activation of the corresponding inputs and outputs.

The firmware (software embedded in the boards) has been designed using object oriented programming techniques
(ODD/OOP). These techniques are based on the use of objects and classes, and provide the software architecture
with the same characteristics as the hardware architecture, i.e., modularity and flexibility.

GEK-106465A CIO Remote CAN Digital I/O Module 7

OVERVIEW

1.2.4. COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURE

CIO units incorporate a CAN BUS port in two physical media: glass fiber optic and cable. The fiber optic port allows
connection to the master unit for a single CIO unit. For connections including several CIO units, the cable port must
be used. If the master unit is a F650, then communication must always be in fiber optic.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.1. OVERVIEW

The CIO module is an input/output extension for F650 and F600 units. Using this module, the number of available
inputs/outputs can be increased, these inputs/outputs operation being identical to the one of the original I/Os in
the master unit.

The CIO module has been designed to be installed close to the substation switchgear, and connected to the main
unit through a CAN bus in fiber optic or cable. Fiber optic connection provides total immunity against
electromagnetic disturbances, as well as simplified wiring and commissioning.

CIO module I/O configuration and management are performed exclusively from the master unit. This master unit
manages the CIO inputs and outputs in the same way as its own.
