1.2 UR OVERVIEW1 GETTING STARTED
1.2UR OVERVIEW1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR
1
Historically, substation protection, control, and metering functions were performed wi th electromechanical equip ment. 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 p rovide protection, 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 STARTED1.2 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 isol ates and con verts 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 digit al 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.

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 N60 achieves the same features a s the hardware architecture:
modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any UR-series device (for exampl e, feeder protection,
transformer protection, distance protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various fun ctionality classes. This
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 throu gh the N60 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 N60 rear communications port. The converter terminals (+, –, GND) are connected to the N60 communicat ion module (+, –, COM) terminals. Refer to the CPU communica-tions ports section in chapter 3 for option details. The line should be terminated with an R-C network (that is, 120 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 make them visible under poor lighting 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, the display will default to user-defined messages. Any high priority event driven
message will automatically override the default message and appear on the display.

1.5USING THE RELAY1.5.1 FACEPLATE KEYPAD
Display messages are organized into pages under the following headings: actual values, settings, comma nds, and targets.
The MENU key navigates through these pages. Each heading page is broken down further into logical subgroups.
The MESSAGE keys navigate through the subgroups. The VALUE keys scroll increment or decrement numerical setting
values when in programming mode. These keys also scroll through alphanumeric valu es in the text edit mode. Alternatively, values may also be entered with the numeric keypad.
The decimal key initiates and advance to the next character in text edit mode or enters a decimal point. The HELP key may
be pressed at any time for context sensitive help messages. The ENTER key stores altered setting values.
1.5.2 MENU NAVIGATION
Press the MENU key to select the desired header display page (top-level menu). The header title appears momentarily followed by a header display page menu item. Each press of the MENU key advances through the followi ng main heading
pages:
•Actual values.
•Settings.
•Commands.
•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 level. 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.

SYSTEM SETUP
The relay is defaulted to the “Not Programme d” state when it leaves the factory. This safeguards against the installation of
a relay whose settings have not been entered. When powered up successfu lly, the Trouble LED will be on and the In Service LED off. The relay in the “Not Programmed” state will block signaling of any output relay. These conditions will remain
until the relay is explicitly put in the “Programmed” state.

1.5 USING THE RELAY1 GETTING STARTED
To put the relay in th e “Programmed” state, press either of the VALUE keys once and then press ENTER. The faceplate
Trouble LED will turn off and the In Service LED will turn on. The settings for the relay can be programmed manually (refer
1
to Chapter 5) via the faceplate keypad or remotely (refer to the EnerVista UR Setup help file) via the Ene rVista UR Setup
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 settin g up 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 N60 requires a minimum amount of maintenance when it is commissioned into service. Since the N60 is a microprocessor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over time. As such, no further functional tests are required.
Furthermore, the N60 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 N60 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.
