1.2UR OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR

The GE Universal Relay (UR) series is a new generation of digital, modular, and multifunction equipment that is easily
incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels.

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 device can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming
device, or another UR device.

1

Figure 1–2: UR BLOCK DIAGRAM

The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as 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 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 or analog signals that are used to
control field devices.

The unit and software are backwards-compatible with UR devices.

b) UR SIGNAL TYPES

The contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both ‘wet’ and ‘dry’
contacts are supported.

The virtual 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™ equations 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 are 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 digital 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.

GE Multilin F60 Feeder Protection System 1-3

1.2 UR OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED

The direct inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point states between a number of UR-series intelligent
electronic devices (IEDs) over dedicated fiber, RS422, or G.703 interface. No switching equipment is required as the IEDs

1

are connected directly in a ring or redundant (dual) ring configuration. This feature is optimized for speed and intended for
pilot-aided schemes, distributed logic applications, or the extension of the input/output capabilities of a single relay chassis.

1.2.3 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

Firmware is the software embedded in the relay in functional modules that 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 data.” A class is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this approach, 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,
software interface, 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 combining objects from the various functional classes. This
results in a common interface across the UR series.

3. Make any required changes in configuration, such as setting a valid IP address for communication over Ethernet.

4. Log out of the Administrator account by choosing None.
Next, device or server authentication can be chosen on the login screen, but the choice is available only in EnerVista. Use

device authentication to log in using the five pre-configured roles (Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer,
or Administrator and Supervisor when device authentication is disabled). When using a serial connection, only device
authentication is supported. When server authentication is required, characteristics for communication with a RADIUS
server must be configured on the UR. This is possible only through the EnerVista software. The RADIUS server itself also
must be configured. The appendix called RADIUS Server gives an example of how to setup a simple RADIUS server. Once
both the RADIUS server and the parameters for connecting UR to the server have been configured, you can choose server
authentication on the login screen of EnerVista.

commissioning the device.
You can change the password for any role either from the front panel or through EnerVista.
If using EnerVista, navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Security. Change the Local Administrator Password, for

example. It is strongly recommended that the password for the Administrator be changed from the default. Changing the
passwords for the other three roles is optional.

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 computer COM2 port as described in
the CPU Communication Ports section of chapter 3.

Figure 1–10: RELAY COMMUNICATION OPTIONS

To communicate through the F60 rear RS485 port from a computer 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) connects the F485 converter to the F60 rear communications port. The converter
terminals (+, –, GND) are connected to the F60 communication module (+, –, COM) terminals. See the CPU Communica-
tion Ports section in chapter 3 for details. The line is terminated with an R-C network (that is, 120 Ω, 1 nF) as described in
the chapter 3.

All messages are displayed on a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) to make them visible under poor lighting conditions.
While the keypad and display are not actively being used, the display defaults to user-defined messages. Any high-priority
event-driven message automatically overrides the default message and appears on the display.

Settings files conversion from previous firmware versions is supported.

1.5.7 COMMISSIONING

The F60 requires minimal maintenance after 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. Expected service life is
20 years for UR devices manufactured June 2014 or later when applied in a controlled indoors environment and electrical
conditions within specification.

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). However, it is recommended that F60 maintenance be scheduled with other system
maintenance. This maintenance can involve 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

corresponding 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 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 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 protection. The time overcurrent func­tion provides multiple curve shapes or FlexCurves™ for optimum co-ordination. 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 time-tagged events. The internal clock used for
time-tagging can be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) over the Ethernet
port, or using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). 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.

Several options are available for communication. A faceplate RS232 port can be used to connect to a computer for the pro­gramming of settings and the monitoring of actual values. The RS232 port has a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. The rear
RS485 port allows independent access by operating and engineering staff. It can be connected to system computers with
baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. All serial ports use the Modbus RTU protocol. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is supported on
the RS485 interface. IEC 60870-5-103, DNP, and Modbus cannot be enabled simultaneously on this interface. Also only
one of the DNP, IEC 60870-5-103, and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols can be enabled at any time on the relay. When the IEC
60870-5-103 protocol is chosen, the RS485 port has a fixed even parity and the baud rate can be either 9.6 kbps or 19.2
kbps. The 100Base-FX or 100Base-T Ethernet interface provides fast, reliable communications in noisy environments. The
Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, IEC 61850-90-5, Modbus/TCP, and TFTP protocols, PTP (according to IEEE Std. 1588­2008 or IEC 61588), and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (F60 web pages). The IEC 60870-5-104
protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. The Ethernet port also supports the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) of IEC
62439-3 (clause 4, 2012) when purchased as an option.

Settings and actual values can be accessed from the front panel or EnerVista software.
The F60 IEDs use flash memory technology which allows field upgrading as new features are added. The following single

line diagram illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American National Standards Institute) device numbers.

2.1.2 SECURITY

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

Changing the password, or any other setting, does not take the relay out of service. The relay is taken out of service when
a settings file is written to it.

a) ENERVISTA SECURITY

The EnerVista security management system is a role-based access control (RBAC) system that allows an administrator to
manage the privileges of multiple users. This allows for access control of UR devices by multiple personnel within a substa­tion and conforms to the principles of RBAC as defined in ANSI INCITS 359-2004. The EnerVista security management
system is disabled by default to allow the administrator direct access to the EnerVista software after installation. It is recom­mended that security be enabled before placing the device in service.

Basic password or enhanced CyberSentry security applies, depending on purchase.

b) PASSWORD SECURITY

Password security is a basic security feature present in the default offering of the product.
Two levels of password security are provided: command and setting.
The following operations are under command password supervision:

• Operating the breakers via faceplate keypad

• Changing the state of virtual inputs

• Clearing the event records

• Clearing the oscillography records

• Clearing fault reports

• Changing the date and time

• Clearing the breaker arcing current

• Clearing energy records

• Clearing the data logger

• Clearing the user-programmable pushbutton states
The following operations are under setting password supervision:

• Changing any setting

• Test mode operation
The F60 supports password entry from a local or remote connection. Local access is defined as any access to settings or

commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry and the through the faceplate RS232 port. Remote
access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear communications port. This includes both Ethernet
and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords enables this functionality.

When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond­ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the F60, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password applies.

Password access events are logged in the Event Recorder.

2

c) CYBERSENTRY SECURITY

CyberSentry Embedded Security is a software option that provides advanced security services. When this option is pur­chased, the basic password security is disabled automatically.

CyberSentry provides security through the following features:

• An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) client that

is centrally managed, enables user attribution, provides accounting of all user activities, and uses secure standards­based strong cryptography for authentication and credential protection.

• A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to UR device oper-

ations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on the AAA server (that is,
Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer).

• Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security Information Event Management (SIEM)
systems for centralized cybersecurity monitoring.

• Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the EnerVista software and UR devices
using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in Galois Counter
Mode (GCM) as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH and approved by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2 standards for cryptographic systems.

CYBERSENTRY USER ROLES

2

CyberSentry user roles (Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Supervisor, Observer) limit the levels of access to various UR
device functions. This means that the EnerVista software allows for access to functionality based on the user’s logged in
role.

Example: Administrative functions can be segmented away from common operator functions, or engineering type access,
all of which are defined by separate roles, as shown in the following figure, so that access of UR devices by multiple per­sonnel within a substation is allowed.

CYBERSENTRY USER AUTHENTICATION

There are two types of authentication supported by CyberSentry that can be used to access the UR device:

• Device Authentication (local UR device authenticates)

• Server Authentication (RADIUS server authenticates)
The EnerVista software allows access to functionality that is determined by the user role, which comes either from the local

UR device or RADIUS server.
The EnerVista software has a device authentication option on the login screen for accessing the UR device. When the

"Device" button is selected, the UR uses its local authentication database and not the RADIUS server to authenticate the
user. In this case, it uses its built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Observer, Operator, or Administrator and
Supervisor when Device Authentication is disabled) as login names and the associated passwords are stored on the UR
device. As such, when using the local accounts, access is not user-attributable.

In cases where user attributable access is required especially to facilitate auditable processes for compliance reasons, use
RADIUS authentication only.

When the "Server" Authentication Type option is selected, the UR uses the RADIUS server and not its local authentication
database to authenticate the user.

No password or security information are displayed in plain text by the EnerVista software or UR device, nor are they ever
transmitted without cryptographic protection.

CyberSentry Server Authentication

The UR has been designed to automatically direct authentication requests based on user names. In this respect, local
account names on the UR are considered as reserved, and not used on a RADIUS server.

The UR automatically detects whether an authentication request is to be handled remotely or locally. As there are only five
local accounts possible on the UR, if the user ID credential does not match one of the five local accounts, the UR automat­ically forwards the request to a RADIUS server when one is provided.

If a RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, server authentication requests are denied. In this situ­ation, use local UR accounts to gain access to the UR system.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION

2.1.3 IEC 870-5-103 PROTOCOL

IEC 870-5-103 is a companion standard to IEC 870-5 suit of standards for transmission protocols. It defines messages and
procedures for interoperability between protection equipment and devices of a control system in a substation for communi­cating on a serial line.

The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit serial communication, exchanging information
with a control system. In the context of this protocol, the protection equipment is the slave and the control system is the
master. The communication is based on a point to point principle. The master must be able to interpret the IEC 60870-5­103 communication messages.

The UR implementation of IEC 60870-5-103 consists of the following functions:

• Report binary inputs

• Report analog values (measurands)

• Commands

• Time synchronization
The RS485 port supports IEC 60870-5-103.

2.3SIGNAL PROCESSING 2.3.1 UR SIGNAL PROCESSING

The UR series relays are microprocessor-based protective relays that are designed to measure power system conditions
directly via CT and PT inputs and via other sources of information, such as analog inputs, communications inputs and con­tact inputs. The following figure shows the overall signal processing in URs.

An analog low pass anti-aliasing filter with a 3 dB corner frequency is set at 2.4 kHz and is used for current and voltage
analog filtering as well as signal conditioning. The same filtering is applied for phase, ground currents, phase-to-phase
(when applicable), and auxiliary voltages. The 2.4 kHz cut-off frequency applies to both 50 Hz and 60 Hz applications and
fixed in the hardware, and thus is not dependent on the system nominal frequency setting.

2

The UR samples its AC signals at 64 samples per cycle, that is, at 3840 Hz in 60 Hz systems, and 3200 Hz in 50 Hz sys­tems. The sampling rate is dynamically adjusted to the actual system frequency by an accurate and fast frequency tracking
system.

The A/D converter has the following ranges of AC signals:

Current harmonics are estimated based on raw samples with the use of the full-cycle Fourier filter. Harmonics 2nd through
25th are estimated.

True RMS value for the current is calculated on a per-phase basis. The true RMS can be used for demand recording or as
an input signal to Time Overcurrent function, if the latter is intended for thermal protection. The true RMS is calculated as
per the widely accepted definition:

2

RMS values include harmonics, inter-harmonics, DC components, and so on, along with fundamental frequency values.
The true RMS value reflects thermal effects of the current and is used for the thermal related monitoring and protection
functions.

Protection and control functions respond to phasors of the fundamental and/or harmonic frequency components (magni­tudes and angles), with an exception for some functions that have an option for RMS or fundamental measurements, or
some function responding to RMS only. This type of response is explained typically in each element's section in the instruc­tion manual.

Currents are pre-filtered using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter is designed to reject DC components
and low-frequency distortions, without amplifying high-frequency noise. This filter is referred to as a modified MIMIC filter,
which provides excellent filtering and overall balance between speed and accuracy of filtering. The filter is cascaded with
the full-cycle Fourier filter for the current phasor estimation.

Voltages are pre-filtered using a patented Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter has been optimized to reject
voltage transformers specific distortions, such as Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) noise and high-frequency oscilla­tory components. The filter is cascaded with the half-cycle Fourier filter for the voltage phasor estimation.

The URs measure power system frequency using the Clarke transformation by estimating the period of the waveform from
two consecutive zero-crossings in the same direction (negative-to-positive). Voltage or current samples are pre-filtered
using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter to remove high frequency noise contained in the signal. The period is
used after several security conditions are met, such as true RMS signal must be above 6% nominal for a certain time and
others. If these security conditions are not met, the last valid measurement is used for a specific time after which the UR
reverts to nominal system frequency.

Synchrophasors are calculated using a patented convolution integral algorithm. This algorithm allows use of the same time
stamped samples, which are used for protection and taken at the same sampling frequency. This allows URs to use one
sampling clock for both protection algorithms and synchrophasors.

Synchrophasors on firmware versions 7.23 and up have been tested and certified to meet IEEE C.37.118-2011 and
C.37.118.1a-2014 standards for both metering and protection classes with outputs available up to 60 synchrophasors per
second for the metering class and 120 synchrophasors per second for the protection class. Synchrophasors measurement
are also available via IEC 61850-90-5 protocol.

Contact inputs threshold is settable in the firmware with 17, 33, 84, 166 VDC settings available. Inputs are scanned every

0.5 ms and can be conditioned for the critical applications, using debounce time timer, settable from 0.0 ms to 16.0 ms.
Contact inputs with auto-burnishing are available as well, when external contacts are exposed to the contamination in a
harsh industrial environment.

All measured values are available in the UR metering section on the front panel and via communications protocols. Mea­sured analog values and binary signals can be captured in COMTRADE format with sampling rates from 8 to 64 samples
per power cycle. Analog values can be captured with Data Logger, allowing much slower rates extended over long period of
time.

Other advanced UR order code options are available to support IEC 61850 Ed2.0 (including fast GOOSE, MMS server,
61850 services, ICD/CID/IID files, and so on), IEEE 1588 (IEEE C37.238 power profile) based time synchronization, Cyber­Sentry (advanced cyber security), the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), IEC 60870-5-103, and so on.

a) HORIZONTAL UNITS

The F60 Feeder Protection System is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount unit with a removable faceplate. The
faceplate can be specified as either standard or enhanced at the time of ordering. The enhanced faceplate contains addi­tional user-programmable pushbuttons and LED indicators.

The modular design allows the relay to be easily upgraded or repaired by a qualified service person. The faceplate is
hinged to allow easy access to the removable modules, and is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with limited rear
depth.

The case dimensions are shown below, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When planning the location of
your panel cutout, ensure that provision is made for the faceplate to swing open without interference to or from adjacent
equipment.

The relay must be mounted such that the faceplate sits semi-flush with the panel or switchgear door, allowing the operator
access to the keypad and the RS232 communications port. The relay is secured to the panel with the use of four screws
supplied with the relay.

3.1.2 REAR TERMINAL LAYOUT

3

The relay follows a convention with respect to terminal number assignments 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
figure for an example of rear terminal assignments.

Figure 3–8: REAR TERMINAL VIEW

Do not touch any rear terminals while the relay is energized.

The small form-factor pluggable ports (SFPs) are pluggable transceivers. Do not use non-validated
transceivers or install validated transceivers in the wrong Ethernet slot, else damage can occur.

3.1 DESCRIPTION 3 HARDWARE

The torque used to connect the terminal blocks to the back of the relay chassis (screws a, b, c shown) is 9 inch-pounds. For
the connections to the terminal blocks (rows 1 to 8), use a minimum of 17 inch-pounds. During manufacturing, the power
supply and CPU modules are installed in slots B and D of the chassis with 13 inch-pounds of torque on the screws at the
top and bottom of the modules.

Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused
by high peak voltage transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference
(EMI). These protective components can be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 spec­ified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one minute.

3.2.3 CONTROL POWER

Control power supplied to the relay must be connected to the matching power supply range of the
relay. If voltage is applied to the wrong terminals, damage can occur.

The F60 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are
well-known to deteriorate over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be avoided
by powering up the relay at least once a year.

The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, and the UR can be ordered with or without a
redundant power supply module option. Each range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are
as shown below (see the Specifications section of chapter 2 for 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 device that is 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 is de-energize.

For high reliability systems, the F60 has a redundant option in which two F60 power supplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply assumes 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 also indicates a faulted power supply.

3.2.4 CT AND VT MODULES

A CT/VT module can have voltage or current inputs on channels 1 through 4 inclusive, or channels 5 through 8 inclusive.
Channels 1 and 5 are intended for connection to phase A, and are labeled as such in the relay. Likewise, channels 2 and 6
are intended for connection to phase B, and channels 3 and 7 are intended for connection to phase C.

Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single-phase source. For voltage inputs, these channel are labelled as
auxiliary voltage (VX). For current inputs, these channels are intended for connection to a CT between system neutral and
ground, and are labelled as ground current (IG).

Verify that the connection made to the relay terminals for nominal current of 1 A or 5 A matches the
secondary rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs can result in equipment damage or inade-

quate protection.
To connect the module, size 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG) is commonly used; the maximum size is 10 AWG.
CT/VT modules can 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 mechanism that shorts the input when the module 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 can be used.

CT/VT modules with a sensitive ground input are also available. The ground CT input of the sensitive ground modules is 10
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 have enhanced diagnostics that 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 as follows. Twisted-pair

cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

8Z module (used for high-impedance fault detection)

832752A4.CDR

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 Ty pi-
cal wiring diagram with high impedance fault detection earlier in this chapter) or, if a zero-sequence CT is not available, to
the neutral conductor of the phase CTs (see diagram below).

3.2.5 PROCESS BUS MODULES

The F60 can be ordered with a process bus interface module. This module is designed to interface with the GE Multilin
HardFiber system, allowing bidirectional IEC 61850 fiber optic communications with up to eight HardFiber merging units,
known as Bricks. The HardFiber system has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing UR-series applica­tions, including protection functions, FlexLogic, metering, and communications.

The IEC 61850 process bus system offers the following benefits:

• Reduces labor associated with design, installation, and testing of protection and control applications using the F60 by

reducing the number of individual copper terminations

• Integrates seamlessly with existing F60 applications, since the IEC 61850 process bus interface module replaces the

traditional CT/VT modules

• Communicates using open standard IEC 61850 messaging
For additional details on the HardFiber system, see GE publication GEK-113658: HardFiber Process Bus System Instruc-

tion Manual.

3.2.6 CONTACT INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Every contact input/output module has 24 terminal connections. They are arranged as three terminals per row, with eight
rows in total. A given row of three terminals can 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, depending on the module ordered.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications.

The contact inputs are grouped with a common return. The input/output modules have two versions of grouping: four inputs
per common return and two inputs per common return. When a contact input/output module is ordered, four inputs per com­mon is used. 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 types (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that can 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 module 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 out­put is set to logic “On” when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to “On” when
there is a voltage across open contact (the detector allows a current of about 1 to 2.5 mA), and the current monitor is set to
“On” when the current flowing through the closed contact exceeds about 80 to 100 mA. The voltage monitor is intended to
check the health of the overall trip circuit, and the current monitor can be used to seal-in the output contact until an external
contact has interrupted current flow. 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.

Block diagrams are shown as follows for form-A and solid-state relay outputs with optional voltage monitor, optional current
monitor, and with no monitoring. The actual values shown for contact output 1 are the same for all contact outputs. Form-A
contact output with or without a current or voltage monitoring option is not polarity sensitive. The polarity shown in the figure
is required for solid-state contact output connection.

WARNING

NOTE

NOTE

NOTICE

The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic operands (CONT OP # VON,

CONT OP # VOFF, and CONT OP # ION) which can be used in protection, control, and alarm logic. The typical application of

the voltage monitor is breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring; a typical application of the current monitor is seal-in of the
control command.

See the Digital Elements section of chapter 5 for an example of how form-A and solid-state relay contacts can be applied
for breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring.

Consider relay contacts unsafe to touch when the unit is energized.

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 con­tact, the circuit has an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input

3

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, when measured as
an impedance.

The solution is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the form-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 resistor is appropriate. In this configuration, the voltage across either the form-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 module; wherever a number sign “#”
appears, substitute the contact number

When current monitoring is used to seal-in the form-A and solid-state relay contact outputs, the Flex-

Logic operand driving the contact output should be given a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage

of the output contact (in situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at val-

ues 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 power sup­ply module. The other side of the dry contact is connected 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 flows 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 voltage
for this arrangement is 300 V DC.

The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs detects 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.

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

GENERAL APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS

Contacts outputs of protective relays, auxiliary contacts from breakers, disconnectors and other devices, are generally con­nected to contacts inputs of protective relays. In some situations, the contact outputs of some protective relays can have
high impedance connected across it. When such a contact output is connected across a F60 contact input, it can spuriously
operate the F60 input even when the output is open, if there is a substantial distributed capacitance (represented by C1)
present in the wiring between the output and the F60 input and the debounce time setting in the F60 relay is low enough.
This false assertion of the contact input, when there is inadvertent ground present at the DC positive terminal, can be pre­vented by inserting a resistor across the F60 input.

The following figure shows a typical DC circuit, with battery ground detection, of contact input. The contact output has par­allel impedance across it (represented by R1).

3-20 F60 Feeder Protection System GE Multilin

3 HARDWARE 3.2 WIRING

Figure 3–20: TYPICAL CONTACT INPUT DC CIRCUIT

The presence of the impedance path (R1) across the contact output allows the stray (distributed) capacitance C1 to charge
as shown, thus developing a voltage across the contact input enough to momentarily operate the input while the capaci­tance discharges in the presence of DC ground on the positive terminal of the battery.

The duration of the discharge depends on the value of the distributed capacitance, the initial voltage of the distributed
capacitance, and the input impedance of the contact input. If the duration is greater than the debounce time setting, then
the contact input operates.

The application example that follows describes how to mitigate this problem by connecting a resistor across the contact
input, as shown in the next figure, or by adjusting the debounce time setting to a value greater than the discharge time to
prevent spurious operation of the contact input only if the voltage (with output open) across the contact input due to trickle
current is less than the threshold voltage. This operation of contact inputs also can be prevented by using the Auto-Burnish
contact inputs or contact inputs with active impedance.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE

This example is for illustrative purposes only and the calculations present the worst-case scenario. In practice, the value of
debounce time can be lower.

Contact input ON state impedance used in the calculation of the discharge period is based on the following table.

Table 3–3: DISCHARGE PERIOD

BATTERY VOLTAGE (V) INPUT IMPEDANCE (KΩ)

130 50
250 97

Debounce time setting = 2 ms
Assume a stray capacitance of 0.1 μF.
Assume an initial voltage across the stray capacitance "Vinitial" = 19 V (Vthreshold - 65 V), where Vthreshold = 84 V. The

3

initial voltage Vinitial depends on values of impedance of R1 and contact inputs when the contact input is OFF (non-acti­vated state).

Therefore, discharge time constant (τ) =50 kΩ *0.1 μF = 5 ms.
Discharge period t is calculated from the following equation:

Vthreshold = (Vbatt - VInitial) *e^ (-t/τ)

84 = -149 *e^ (t/0.005) (EQ 3.1)

T = -0.005 * ln (84/149) = 0.0029 s

Therefore, in this example the contact inputs operate.
To prevent this operation, the debounce time must be increased to 4 ms (set debounce time as per the following table) or

insert a resistor less than or equal to "R" as calculated later.

Table 3–4: TYPICAL DEBOUNCE TIME SETTING

STRAY CAPACITANCE (μF) BATTERY VOLTAGE (V) DEBOUNCE TIME (MS)

0.05 130 2

0.1 130 4

0.2 130 6

0.05 250 3

0.1 250 6

0.2 250 11

The value of this resistor "R" is calculated as follows:

1. Determine the minimum voltage (V threshold) required to turn on the input. This is determined by direct measurement
or referenced in the input specifications.

2. Calculate the resistance necessary to limit the voltage to 1/3 V threshold (when the contact is OFF, the non-activated
state) as follows:

R = (Vthreshold / 3) / (2 mA) (EQ 3.2)

The 2 mA current is used in case the contact input is connected across the GE Form A contact output with voltage
monitoring. Otherwise use the amperage of the active circuit connected to the contact input when its contact output is
open and the voltage across the contact input is third trigger threshold to calculate the resistor value.

3. When the contact is ON (operate state), the battery voltage appears across the resistor. The wattage rating of the
resistor is then:

PR = 1.3 * (Vbatt) ^2 / R Watts (EQ 3.3)

4. Applying the following equation to our example:

R = 84 V / 3*(1 / 2 mA) = 14 kΩ

PR = 1.57 Watts (EQ 3.4)

5. Calculating the voltage across the contact input with the Burden Resistor, Voltage across the contact Input:

3-22 F60 Feeder Protection System GE Multilin

3 HARDWARE 3.2 WIRING

Vresistor = 2 mA * 14 Kohm = 28 V

Vresistor < contact input threshold (84 V) (EQ 3.5)

In conclusion, in this example, the contact input does NOT operate falsely with the Burden Resistor across its input AND
when a battery ground is present.

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 has a 5 second delay after a contact input changes state.

3

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 (refer to the Contact Input
and Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact 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 using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.

Figure 3–23: AUTO-BURNISH DIP SWITCHES

3-24 F60 Feeder Protection System GE Multilin

3 HARDWARE 3.2 WIRING

NOTE

The auto-burnish circuitry has an internal fuse for safety purposes. During regular maintenance, check the auto­burnish functionality using an oscilloscope.

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH ACTIVE IMPEDANCE

Contact inputs susceptible to parasitic capacitance caused by long cable runs affected by switching surges from external
circuits can result in inadvertent activation of contact inputs with the external contact open. In this case, GE recommends
using the digital I/O module with active impedance circuit.

Active impedance contact input can tolerate external cable capacitance of up to 0.2 µF, without entering the ON state for
more than 2 ms. The contact input debounce time can still be set above 2 ms for added security to prevent contact input
activations cause by external transient ON states.

An active impedance contact input is normally in Low impedance mode during OFF contact state (non-activated condition).
During Low impedance state contact input impedance is maintained at 10 K Ohms impedance to allow fast discharge of the
stray capacitance of the long cables.

When the contact input voltage exceeds the set threshold, active impedance maintains 10 K Ohms impedance value. If
voltage starts rapidly decreasing, this indicates that stray capacitance is being discharged through the contact input. If,
however, voltage stabilizes above the set threshold, the input impedance is switched to High impedance mode of 100 K
Ohms. This value reduces the input current to <3 mA, and contact input switched to the ON state (operated state).

The figure shows the active impedance contact input V-I characteristic. Different thresholds with their corresponding char­acteristics are shown by color. The contact input is in the ON (operated) state if the input voltage is to the right of the col­ored threshold band (+/-10% tolerance), and the contact input is in the OFF (non-activated) state when input voltage is to
the left of the band. A contact input is in LOW state during non-operated system condition, and actively switches to HIGH
state upon detection of input voltage above the settable threshold.

3.2.7 TRANSDUCER INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Transducer input modules can receive input signals from external DCmA output transducers (DCmA In) or resistance tem­perature detectors (RTDs). Hardware and software are 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 can be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative polarity. 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 external ground bus be made to terminal 8b. The current outputs
require a twisted-pair shielded cable, where the shield is grounded at one end only. The following figure illustrates the trans­ducer module types (5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that can be ordered for the relay.

Wherever a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module.

3.2.9 CPU COMMUNICATION PORTS

a) OVERVIEW

In addition to the faceplate RS232 port, the F60 provides a rear RS485 communication port.

The CPU modules do not require a surge ground connection.

3

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 the port, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system, or PLC is possible.

Figure 3–28: CPU MODULE COMMUNICATIONS WIRING

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 together, and all RS485 “–”
terminals connected together. Though data is transmitted over a two-wire twisted pair, all RS485 devices require a shared
reference, or common voltage. This common voltage is implied to be a power supply common. Some systems allow the
shield (drain wire) to be used as common wire and to connect directly to the F60 COM terminal (#3); others function cor­rectly only if the common wire is connected to the F60 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.

To avoid loop currents, ground the shield at only one point. If other system considerations require the shield to be grounded
at more than one point, install resistors (typically 100 ohms) between the shield and ground at each grounding point. Each
relay needs to 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 have more than 32 relays on a single channel. Avoid star or stub connections entirely.

Lightning 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 internally provided at both communication 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.

Terminate both ends of the RS485 circuit with an impedance as shown below.

c) 100BASE-FX FIBER OPTIC PORTS

Ensure that the dust covers are installed when the fiber is not in use. Dirty or scratched connectors can lead to high losses

can be connected to the relay supporting a wavelength of 1310 nm in multi-mode.

IRIG-B code allows time accuracies of up to 100 ns. Using the IRIG-B input, the F60 operates an internal oscillator with 1
µs resolution and accuracy. The IRIG time code formats are serial, pulse width-modulated codes that can be either DC
level shifted or amplitude modulated (AM). The GE MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock as well as third-party equipment are
available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment can use a global positioning system (GPS) satellite system to
obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can be synchronized.

3

Figure 3–30: OPTIONS FOR THE IRIG-B CONNECTION

Using an amplitude modulated receiver causes errors up to 1 ms in event time-stamping.
The F60 is intended for use with external clocks that set the IRIG-B control bits according to IEEE Std C37.118.1-

2011. When used with a source that sets the IRIG-B control bits according to IEEE Std 1344-1995, the source must
have the sign of its local time offset setting reversed, and if daylight savings time (DST) is used, the source's DST
start and DST stop date settings must be interchanged.

3.3DIRECT INPUT/OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS 3.3.1 DESCRIPTION

The direct inputs and outputs feature makes use of the type 7 series of communications modules, which allow direct mes­saging between UR devices. These communications modules are outlined in the table later in this section.

The communications channels are normally connected in a ring configuration as shown in the following figure. 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 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 UR4-Tx to UR1-Rx. A maximum of 16 URs can be connected in a single ring

3

Figure 3–31: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT SINGLE CHANNEL CONNECTION

IRC modules with protocol C37.94 and G.703 are designed for back-to-back communication connections, so the ring con­figuration shown in the previous figure does not apply. To establish inter-relay communication in more than two URs, you
need to have two channel IRC module and enable DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER function in all relays, as shown in
the next figure. This configuration can be expanded to 16 URs, and this configuration does not provide redundancy ring
since both channels are made into single ring by the channel crossover function. As per the figure Typical Pin Interconnec­tion between Two G.703 Interfaces later in this chapter, the clock is supplied typically by multiplexer (MUX) and all URs are
in Loop Timing Mode. If there is no MUX, then UR1 and UR3 can be in Internal Timing Mode and UR2 and UR4 can be in
Loop Timing Mode. That is, connected channels must have opposite timing modes.

The interconnection for dual-channel type 7 communications modules is shown as follows. Two channel modules allow for
a redundant ring configuration. That is, two rings can be created to provide an additional independent data path. The
required connections are: UR1-Tx1 to UR2-Rx1, UR2-Tx1 to UR3-Rx1, UR3-Tx1 to UR4-Rx1, and UR4-Tx1 to UR1-Rx1
for the first ring; and UR1-Tx2 to UR4-Rx2, UR4-Tx2 to UR3-Rx2, UR3-Tx2 to UR2-Rx2, and UR2-Tx2 to UR1-Rx2 for the
second ring.

Figure 3–33: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT DUAL CHANNEL CONNECTION

The following diagram shows the connection for three UR-series relays using two independent communication channels.
UR1 and UR3 have single type 7 communication modules; UR2 has a dual-channel module. The two communication chan­nels can be of different types, depending on the Type 7 modules used. To allow the direct input and output data to cross-
over from channel 1 to channel 2 on UR2, the

DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting should be “Enabled” on UR2. This

forces UR2 to forward messages received on Rx1 out Tx2, and messages received on Rx2 out Tx1.

Figure 3–34: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT SINGLE/DUAL CHANNEL COMBINATION CONNECTION

The inter-relay communications modules are available with several interfaces and some are outlined here in more detail.
Those that apply depend on options purchased. The options are outlined in the Inter-Relay Communications section of the
Order Code tables in Chapter 2. All of the fiber modules use ST type connectors.

twisted shielded pair is recommended for external connections, with the shield grounded only at one end. Con-

necting 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 to ground the shield at one end, do not ground the shield at the other end. This interface module is protected
by surge suppression devices.

Pin nomenclature can differ from one manufacturer to another. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see pinouts num­bered TxA, TxB, RxA and RxB. In such cases, it can be assumed that “A” is equivalent to “+” and “B” is equivalent
to “–”.

6. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.

7. 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 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 is 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

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

If octet timing is enabled (ON), this 8 kHz signal is asserted during the violation of bit 8 (LSB) necessary for connecting to
higher order systems. When F60s are connected back-to-back, octet timing is 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) connections. 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 (UR-

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 source is
expected to be from the G.703 line side of the interface.

In dual loopback mode, the multiplexers are active and the functions of the circuit are divided into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their respective 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 communications 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.
