The F650 ground screw shown in Figure 1–5:: LOCATION OF GROUNDING SCREW must be correctly
grounded.
Figure 1–5: LOCATION OF GROUNDING SCREW
Before establishing the communication with a F650 unit through the front serial port, please ensure that the computer is
grounded.
In case of using a laptop, it is recommended not to have it connected to its power supply. The reason for this is that in many
cases it might not be correctly grounded either due to the power supply or to the connector cables used.
This is required not only for personal protection, but also for avoiding a voltage difference between the relay serial
port and the computer port, which could produce permanent damage either to the computer or the relay.
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage in the relay or connected eq uipment whenever this elemental
safety rule is not followed.

1 GETTING STARTED1.2 OVERVIEW
1.2OVERVIEW1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO 650 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).
These IEDs not only must be able to perform all functions related to system protection and control, but also, using high
speed communications, they must share information among them and send this information to control dispatch centers,
thus reducing the quantity of auxiliary elements and wiring up to 70%.
The F650 relay belongs to this new generation of devices, and can be easily incorporated in substation automation
schemes.
1.2.2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
F650 units incorporate a series of interconnected modules to perform protection and control function s. Firstly, it includes a
group of AC transformers for retrieving current and voltage. These magnitudes, once digitized, are sent to a digital signal
processor (DSP), which performs metering functions and communicates with the main processor via a wide band bus. This
architecture liberates the main processor from performing real time mete ring, allowing a high sampling rate, of up to 64
samples per cycle, without interfering with global performance.
F650 relays are digital devices that include a CPU that can control multiple types of input and output signals.

1.2 OVERVIEW1 GETTING STARTED
1.2.3 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
1
The firmware (software embedded in the relay) has been designed using object oriented programming
techniques (OOP). These techn iques are based on the use o f objects and classes, and provide the software
architecture with the same characteristics as the hardware architecture, i.e., modularity, scalability and
flexibility.
1.2.4 COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURE
The main processor performs protection, control, and communication functions, incorporating two internal processors, one for generic use and a second one dedicated for communications.
A dedicated serial port is used for communication between the main processor and the human-machine interface. Serial connection provides great immunity against electromagnetic disturbances, thus increasing system
safety.
All F650 units incorporate an RS232 serial port on the front of the relay. There is also a possibility to incorporate up to two additional communication modules on the rear.
One of the modules provides asynchronous serial communications, using different physical media (RS485,
plastic or glass fiber optic) depending on the selected model. The module incorporates two identical ports,
COM1 and COM2. COM2 port is multiplexed with the front port. Additionally, this module may incorporate a
glass fiber optic port for CAN BUS communications, used for the connection to the Remote CAN BUS I/O module. This feature allows increasing up to 100% the I/O capability, when the maximum number of I/Os available
inside the relay (up to 32 inputs and 16 outputs) is not enough for a specific application.
Available options are:

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
ZTwo Glass F.O. ports and a CAN port for remote CAN Bus Inputs/Outputs
The other module provides Ethernet communications (COM3 port), using 10/100BaseTX (self-negotiable speed) or
100BaseFX connectors, depending on the selected model. Most complete models include a double redundant 100BaseFX
fiber optic port. Redundancy is provided at a physical media level; 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 two 100BaseFX ports
For options C and D it is required to select the active physical media, by means of an internal se lector inside the module.
The factory configuration for this selection is the 10/100BaseTX port.
Finally, internal communication with input and output modules is performed via an internal CAN bus, independent from the
one used for remote CAN BUS I/Os. This fact provides increased communication speed, as well as the possibility of
acknowledgement of modules, abnormalities, etc. As this is a serial port supp orti ng a communi ca ti ons pro tocol, it provi des
extraordinary immunity against external or internal disturbances.

the relay.
1. Install and start the latest version of the EnerVista F650 Setup software (available from the GE
EnerVista CD or online from http://www.GEindustrial.com/multilin (see previous section for instal-
lation instructions).
2. Go to “Communication>Computer” and enter the following data referred to communications:
3. Select Control Type as No Control Type from the drop-down list. This option will display a number
of interface parameters that must be entered for pr op er ser ial com m u nica tio n s.

5. Enter the physical communications parameters (Baudrate and parity settings) from “Set-point>Product Setup >Communication Settings>Serial Ports” menu, in their respective fields.
6.The Device has now been configured for RS232 communications. Proceed to press the ON button to begin communicating.
1.3.4 COMMUNICATIONS
To communicate with the relay via the faceplate RS232 port, a standard “straight through” serial cable is used. The DB9
male end is connected to the relay and the DB9 or DB25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as
described in the figure below.
Direct connection to the Ethernet port will be carried out using a crossover cable. If this connection is performed through a
hub or switch, we will use direct Ethernet cable.
To communicate with the relay rear RS485 port from a computer R S232 port, an RS232/RS485 co nverter box is needed.
We recommend using the F485 converter, manufactured by GE. This converter box is connected to the computer using a
straight through serial cable. A shielded twisted pair (20, 22 or 24 AWG according to the American standards; 0.25, 0.34 or
2
0.5 mm
terminals. In order to minimize communication e rrors that could be ca used by external noise, it is recommended to use a
shielded twist pair. In order to avoid loops where external currents could flow, the cable shield must be grounded only at
one end.
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 a RC network (i.e. 120 ohm, 1 nF). This
circuit is shown on Figure 1–17:: RS485 CONNECTION FOR F650 UNITS, associated to text Zt(*).
according to the European standards) cable is used to connect the converter box to the relay rear communications

Figure 1–16: RELAY- PC CONNECTION FOR RS232 FRONT PORT
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shie lded twisted pair wire is recommended. For a correct operation, polarity must
be respected, although if it is not so, there is no danger to 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 confusing
sometimes, as the RS485 standard refers only to terminals named “A” and “B”, although many devices use terminals
named “+” and “-“.
As a general rule, terminals “A” should be connected to terminals “-“, and terminals “B” to “+”. The GND terminal should be
connected to the common wire inside the shield, when provi ded. Otherwise, it should be connected to the shield. 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 . Do not use other
connection configuration different than the recommended.
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. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.
The F650 is a protection, control, monitoring, metering and registering unit, suitable for many different applications, such as
main protection for distribution feeders and transmission lines, as well as backup prote ction for transformers, busbars,
capacitor banks, etc. The main features of F650 devices include:
•Directional overcurrent protection for phases, neutral, ground and sensitive ground
•Under and overvoltage protection
