Line distance protection REL650

Product version: 1.0

1. Description
Line distance protection IED
REL650
The REL650 is designed for protection,
monitoring and control of overhead lines and
cables. The IED includes extensive
functionality, with diverse application
opportunities, as well as hardware, to meet
specific requirements. The powerful IED
provides distance protection for all types of
overhead lines, cables and power network
earthing.

2. Application
The REL650 is used for the protection,
control and monitoring of overhead lines and
cables in solidly or impedance earthed
networks. The IED can be used up to the
high voltage levels. It is suitable for the
protection of heavily loaded lines and multiterminal lines where the requirement for fast
three-pole tripping is wanted.
The full scheme distance protection provides
protection of power lines with high
sensitivity and low requirement on remote
end communication. The five zones have
fully independent measuring and setting
which gives high flexibility for all types of
lines.
The modern technical solution offers fast
operating time of typically 1.5 cycles.

with the synchrocheck function with highspeed or delayed reclosing.

High set instantaneous phase and earth
overcurrent, four step directional or nondirectional delayed phase and earth
overcurrent, sensitive earth fault, thermal
overload and two step under and overvoltage
protection are examples of the available
functions allowing the user to fulfill any
application requirement.
The distance and earth fault protection can
communicate with remote end in any
teleprotection communication scheme.
The advanced logic capability, where the user
logic is prepared with a graphical tool, allows
special applications.
Disturbance recording and fault locator are
available to allow independent post-fault
analysis after primary disturbances.
Two packages has been defined for following
applications:
Five zone distance protection with
quadrilateral characteristic (A01)
Five zone distance protection with mho
characteristic (A05)
The packages are configured and ready for
direct use. Analogue and tripping IO has
been pre-defined for basic use.
Add binary I/O as required for your
application at ordering. Other signals need to
be applied as required for each application.
The graphical configuration tool ensures
simple and fast testing and commissioning.

The auto-reclose includes priority features for

single-breaker arrangements. It co-operates

4. Impedance protection

Five zone distance protection,

quadrilateral characteristic
ZQDPDIS
Five zone distance protection, quadrilateral
characteristic (ZQDPDIS) is a five zone full
scheme protection with three fault loops for
phase-to-phase faults and three fault loops
for phase-to-earth fault for each of the
independent zones. Individual settings for
each zone in resistive and reactive reach
gives flexibility for use as back-up protection
for transformer connected to overhead lines
and cables of different types and lengths.
ZQDPDIS together with phase selection with
load enchroachment, FDPSPDIS has
functionality for load enchroachment which
increases the possibility to detect high
resistive faults on heavily loaded lines (see
figure 3).

(forward or reverse) or non-directional mode.

This makes them suitable, together with
different communication schemes, for the
protection of power lines and cables in
complex network configurations, such as
parallel lines, multi-terminal lines etc.

Phase selection with load

encroachment, quadrilateral
characteristic FDPSPDIS
The operation of transmission networks
today is in many cases close to the stability
limit. Due to environmental considerations,
the rate of expansion and reinforcement of
the power system is reduced e.g. difficulties
to get permission to build new power lines.
The phase selection function is designed to
accurately select the proper fault loop in the
distance function dependent on the fault type.
The heavy load transfer that is common in
many transmission networks may make fault
resistance coverage difficult to achieve.
Therefore, the function has a built in
algorithm for load encroachment, which gives
the possibility to enlarge the resistive setting
of both the phase selection and the
measuring zones without interfering with the
load.
The extensive output signals from the phase
selection gives also important information
about faulty phase(s) which can be used for
fault analysis.

which gives high flexibility for all types of

lines.
The IED can be used up to high voltage
levels. It is suitable for the protection of
heavily loaded lines and multi-terminal lines
where the requirement for fast three-pole
tripping is wanted.
Built-in adaptive load compensation

Figure 4. Load encroachment influence on

the offset mho characteristic

A current-based phase selection is also

included. The measuring elements
continuously measure three phase currents
and the residual current and, compare them
with the set values.

The distance protection zones can operate,

independent of each other, in directional
(forward or reverse) or non-directional mode
(offset). This makes them suitable, together
with different communication schemes, for
the protection of power lines and cables in
complex network configurations, such as
parallel lines, multi-terminal lines etc.

Five zone distance protection, mho

characteristic ZMOPDIS

Faulty phase identification with

load enchroachment FMPSPDIS

The numerical mho line distance protection is

a five zone full scheme protection for backup detection of short circuit and earth-faults.
The full scheme technique provides back-up
protection of power lines with high
sensitivity and low requirement on remote
end communication. The five zones have
fully independent measuring and settings

The phase selection function is design to

accurate select the proper fault loop in the
distance function dependent on the fault type.
The heavy load transfer that is common in
many transmission networks may in some
cases interfere with the distance protection
zone reach and cause unwanted operation.
Therefore the function has a built in
13

Line distance protection REL650

Product version: 1.0

algorithm for load encroachment, which gives

the possibility to enlarge the resistive setting
of the measuring zones without interfering
with the load.
The output signals from the phase selection
function produce important information
about faulty phase(s) which can be used for
fault analysis as well.

Directional impedance quadrilateral

and mho ZDNRDIR
The phase-to-earth impedance elements can
be optionally supervised by a directional
function based on symmetrical components.

Phase preference logic PPLPHIZ

Phase preference logic function (PPLPHIZ) is
intended to be used in isolated or high
impedance-earthed networks where there is a
requirement to trip only one of the faulty
lines at cross-country fault.
Phase preference logic inhibits tripping for
single phase-to-earth faults in isolated and
high impedance earthed networks, where
such faults are not to be cleared by distance
protection. For cross-country faults, the logic
selects either the leading or the lagging phaseearth loop for measurement and initiates
tripping of the preferred fault based on the
selected phase preference. A number of
different phase preference combinations are
available for selection.

Power swing detection ZMRPSB

Power swings may occur after disconnection
of heavy loads or trip of big generation plants.
Power swing detection function (ZMRPSB) is
used to detect power swings and initiate
block of selected distance protection zones.
Occurrence of earth-fault currents during a
power swing can block the Power swing
detection function to allow fault clearance.

Automatic switch onto fault logic,

voltage and current based ZCVPSOF
Automatic switch onto fault logic, voltage and
current based (ZCVPSOF) is a function that
gives an instantaneous trip at closing of
14

1MRK 506 308-BEN A

Issued: February 2010

breaker onto a fault. A dead line detection

check is provided to activate the function
when the line is dead.
Mho distance protections can not operate for
switch onto fault condition when the phase
voltages are close to zero. An additional logic
based on UI Level is used for this purpose.

5. Current protection
Instantaneous phase overcurrent
protection PHPIOC
The instantaneous three phase overcurrent
function has a low transient overreach and
short tripping time to allow use as a high set
short-circuit protection function.

Four step phase overcurrent

protection OC4PTOC
The four step phase overcurrent function has
an inverse or definite time delay independent
for each step separately.
All IEC and ANSI time delayed characteristics
are available.
The directional function is voltage polarized
with memory. The function can be set to be
directional or non-directional independently
for each of the steps.

Instantaneous residual overcurrent

protection EFPIOC
The instantaneous residual overcurrent
protection (EFPIOC) has a low transient
overreach and short tripping times to allow
the use for instantaneous earth fault
protection, with the reach limited to less than
typical eighty percent of the line at minimum
source impedance. The function can be
configured to measure the residual current
from the three phase current inputs or the
current from a separate current input. The
function can be blocked by activating the
input BLOCK.

Four step residual overcurrent

protection EF4PTOC

Time delayed 2-step undercurrent

protection UC2PTUC

The four step residual overcurrent protection

(EF4PTOC) has an setable inverse or definite
time delay independent for step 1 and 4
separately. Step 2 and 3 are always definite
time delayed.

Time delayed 2-step undercurrent protection

(UC2PTUC) function is used to supervise the
line for low current, for example, to detect a
loss-of-load condition, which results in a
current lower than the normal load current.

All IEC and ANSI time delayed characteristics

are available.

Thermal overload protection, one

time constant LPTTR

The directional function is voltage polarized,

current polarized or dual polarized.

The increasing utilizing of the power system

closer to the thermal limits have generated a
need of a thermal overload protection also
for power lines.

The protection can be set directional or nondirectional independently for each of the steps.
A second harmonic blocking can be enabled
individually for each step.
The protection can be used as main
protection for phase-to-earth faults.
The protection can also be used to provide a
system back-up for example, in the case of
the primary protection being out of service
due to communication or voltage transformer
circuit failure.
Directional operation can be combined
together with corresponding communication
logic in permissive or blocking teleprotection
scheme. Current reversal and weak-end
infeed functionality are available as well.

Sensitive directional residual

overcurrent and power protection
SDEPSDE
In isolated networks or in networks with
high impedance earthing, the earth fault
current is significantly smaller than the short
circuit currents. In addition to this, the
magnitude of the fault current is almost
independent on the fault location in the
network. The protection can be selected to
use either the residual current or residual
power component 3U03I0cos j, for
operating quantity. There is also available
one non-directional 3I0 step and one nondirectional 3U0 overvoltage tripping step.

ABB

1MRK 506 308-BEN A

Issued: February 2010

A thermal overload will often not be detected

by other protection functions and the
introduction of the thermal overload
protection can allow the protected circuit to
operate closer to the thermal limits.
The three-phase current measuring protection
has an I2t characteristic with settable time
constant and a thermal memory.
An alarm level gives early warning to allow
operators to take action well before the line
is tripped.

Breaker failure protection CCRBRF

Breaker failure protection (CCRBRF) function
ensures fast back-up tripping of surrounding
breakers in case of own breaker failure to
open. CCRBRF can be current based, contact
based, or adaptive combination between
these two principles.
A current check with extremely short reset
time is used as a check criteria to achieve a
high security against unnecessary operation.
A contact check criteria can be used where
the fault current through the breaker is small.
Breaker failure protection (CCRBRF) function
current criteria can be fulfilled by one or two
phase currents, or one phase current plus
residual current. When those currents exceed
the user defined settings, the function is
activated. These conditions increase the
security of the back-up trip command.

15

Line distance protection REL650

Product version: 1.0

CCRBRF function can be programmed to give

a three-phase re-trip of the own breaker to
avoid unnecessary tripping of surrounding
breakers at an incorrect initiation due to

When a power line is taken out of service for
maintenance and the line disconnector is
opened the voltage transformers will mostly
be outside on the disconnected part. The
primary line distance protection will thus not
be able to operate and must be blocked.
The stub protection covers the zone between
the current transformers and the open
disconnector. The three-phase instantaneous
overcurrent function is released from a
normally open, NO (b) auxiliary contact on
the line disconnector.

Pole discordance protection

CCRPLD
Circuit breakers or disconnectors can due to
electrical or mechanical failures end up with
the different poles in different positions (closeopen). This can cause negative and zero
sequence currents which gives thermal stress
on rotating machines and can cause
unwanted operation of zero sequence or
negative sequence current functions.
Normally the own breaker is tripped to
correct such a situation. If the situation
persists the surrounding breaker should be
tripped to clear the unsymmetrical load
situation.
The pole discordance function operates based
on information from the circuit breaker logic
with additional criteria from unsymmetrical
phase current when required.

Broken conductor check BRCPTOC

Conventional protection functions can not
detect the broken conductor condition.
Broken conductor check (BRCPTOC)
function, consisting of continuous current
unsymmetry check on the line where the IED
is connected will give alarm or trip at
detecting broken conductors.

Directional over/underpower
protection GOPPDOP/GUPPDUP
The directional over-/under-power protection
(GOPPDOP/GUPPDUP) can be used
wherever a high/low active, reactive or
apparent power protection or alarming is
required. The functions can alternatively be
used to check the direction of active or
reactive power flow in the power system.
There are number of applications where such
functionality is needed. Some of them are:
detection of reversed active power flow
detection of high reactive power flow
Each function has two steps with definite
time delay. Reset times for every step can be
set as well.

Negative sequence based

overcurrent function DNSPTOC
Negative sequence based overcurrent
function (DNSPTOC) is typically used as
sensitive earth-fault protection of power
lines, where incorrect zero sequence
polarization may result from mutual
induction between two or more parallel lines.
Additionally, it is used in applications on
underground cables, where zero sequence
impedance depends on the fault current
return paths, but the cable negative sequence
impedance is practically constant.
DNSPTOC protects against all unbalance
faults including phase-to-phase faults. Always
remember to set the minimum pickup current
of the function above natural system
unbalance level.

the circuit breaker remains closed.

UV2PTUV has two voltage steps, each with

inverse or definite time delay.

7. Frequency protection

Two step overvoltage protection

OV2PTOV

Under frequency protection SAPTUF

Overvoltages may occur in the power system

during abnormal conditions, such as, sudden
power loss, tap changer regulating failures,
open line ends on long lines.
Two step overvoltage protection (OV2PTOV)
can be used as open line end detector,
normally then combined with directional
reactive over-power function or as system
voltage supervision, normally then giving
alarm only or switching in reactors or switch
out capacitor banks to control the voltage.
OV2PTOV has two voltage steps, where step
1 is setable as inverse or definite time
delayed. Step 2 is always definite time delayed.
OV2PTOV has an extremely high reset ratio
to allow setting close to system service voltage.

Two step residual overvoltage

protection ROV2PTOV
Residual voltages may occur in the power
system during earth-faults.
Two step residual overvoltage protection
(ROV2PTOV) calculates the residual voltage
from the three-phase voltage input
transformers or from a single-phase voltage
input transformer fed from an open delta or
neutral point voltage transformer.
ROV2PTOV has two voltage steps, where
step 1 is setable as inverse or definite time
delayed. Step 2 is always definite time delayed.

Loss of voltage check LOVPTUV

Loss of voltage check (LOVPTUV) is suitable
for use in networks with an automatic system
restoration function. LOVPTUV issues a threepole trip command to the circuit breaker, if
all three phase voltages fall below the set

Under frequency occurs as a result of lack of

generation in the network.
Under frequency protection (SAPTUF) is used
for load shedding systems, remedial action
schemes, gas turbine start-up and so on.
SAPTUF is provided with an under voltage
blocking.

Over frequency protection SAPTOF

Over frequency protection (SAPTOF) function
is applicable in all situations, where reliable
detection of high fundamental power system
frequency is needed.
Over frequency occurs at sudden load drops
or shunt faults in the power network. Close
to the generating plant, generator governor
problems can also cause over frequency.
SAPTOF is used mainly for generation
shedding and remedial action schemes. It is
also used as a frequency stage initiating load
restoring.
SAPTOF is provided with an under voltage
blocking.

Rate-of-change frequency

8. Secondary system
supervision
Current circuit supervision
CCSRDIF
Open or short circuited current transformer
cores can cause unwanted operation of many
protection functions such as differential,
earth fault current and negative sequence
current functions.
It must be remembered that a blocking of
protection functions at an occurrence of open
CT circuit will mean that the situation will
remain and extremely high voltages will
stress the secondary circuit.
Current circuit supervision (CCSRDIF)
compares the residual current from a three
phase set of current transformer cores with
the neutral point current on a separate input
taken from another set of cores on the
current transformer.
A detection of a difference indicates a fault in
the circuit and is used as alarm or to block
protection functions expected to give
unwanted tripping.

Fuse failure supervision SDDRFUF

The aim of the fuse failure supervision
function (SDDRFUF) is to block voltage
measuring functions at failures in the
secondary circuits between the voltage
transformer and the IED in order to avoid
unwanted operations that otherwise might
occur.
The fuse failure supervision function basically
has two different algorithms, negative
sequence and zero sequence based algorithm
and an additional delta voltage and delta
current algorithm.
The negative sequence detection algorithm is
recommended for IEDs used in isolated or
high-impedance earthed networks. It is based
on the negative-sequence measuring
quantities, a high value of voltage 3U2

18

1MRK 506 308-BEN A

Issued: February 2010

without the presence of the negativesequence current 3I2.

The zero sequence detection algorithm is
recommended for IEDs used in directly or
low impedance earthed networks. It is based
on the zero sequence measuring quantities, a
high value of voltage 3U0 without the
presence of the residual current 3I0.
A criterion based on delta current and delta
voltage measurements can be added to the
fuse failure supervision function in order to
detect a three phase fuse failure, which in
practice is more associated with voltage
transformer switching during station
operations.
For better adaptation to system requirements,
an operation mode setting has been
introduced which makes it possible to select
the operating conditions for negative
sequence and zero sequence based function.
The selection of different operation modes
makes it possible to choose different
interaction possibilities between the negative
sequence and zero sequence based algorithm.

Breaker close/trip circuit

monitoring TCSSCBR
The trip circuit supervision function TCSSCBR
is designed to supervise the control circuit of
the circuit breaker. The invalidity of a control
circuit is detected by using a dedicated
output contact that contains the supervision
functionality.
The function operates after a predefined
operating time and resets when the fault
disappears.

the local HMI or from an external hardware
switch connected via binary inputs.

The Synchrocheck, energizing check function

(SESRSYN) checks that the voltages on both
sides of the circuit breaker are in
synchronism, or with at least one side dead
to ensure that closing can be done safely.

The function includes a built-in voltage

selection scheme for double bus and 1 or
ring busbar arrangements.
Manual closing as well as automatic reclosing
can be checked by the function and can have
different settings.
For systems which are running asynchronous
a synchronizing function is provided. The
main purpose of the synchronizing function
is to provide controlled closing of circuit
breakers when two asynchronous systems are
going to be connected. It is used for slip
frequencies that are larger than those for
synchrocheck and lower than a set maximum
level for the synchronizing function.

Autorecloser SMBRREC
The autoreclosing function provides highspeed and/or delayed auto-reclosing for
single breaker applications.
Up to five reclosing attempts can be
programmed.
The autoreclosing function can be configured
to co-operate with a synchrocheck function.

commands can be sent directly to the IED
outputs, without confirmation. Confirmation
(status) of the result of the commands is
supposed to be achieved by other means,
such as binary inputs and SPGGIO function
blocks.

10. Scheme
communication
Scheme communication logic for
distance or overcurrent protection
ZCPSCH
To achieve instantaneous fault clearance for
all line faults, a scheme communication logic
is provided. All types of communication
schemes e.g. permissive underreaching,
permissive overreaching, blocking,
unblocking, intertrip etc. are available.

Current reversal and weak-end

infeed logic for distance protection
ZCRWPSCH
The current reversal function is used to
prevent unwanted operations due to current
reversal when using permissive overreach
protection schemes in application with
parallel lines when the overreach from the
two ends overlap on the parallel line.
The weak-end infeed logic is used in cases
where the apparent power behind the
protection can be too low to activate the
distance protection function. When activated,
received carrier signal together with local
under voltage criteria and no reverse zone
operation gives an instantaneous trip. The
received signal is also echoed back to
accelerate the sending end.

Local acceleration logic ZCLCPLAL

To achieve fast clearing of faults on the
whole line, when no communication channel
is available, local acceleration logic
(ZCLCPLAL) can be used. This logic enables
fast fault clearing during certain conditions,
but naturally, it can not fully replace a
communication channel.
The logic can be controlled either by the
autorecloser (zone extension) or by the loss-ofload current (loss-of-load acceleration).

Scheme communication logic for

residual overcurrent protection
ECPSCH
To achieve fast fault clearance of earth-faults
on the part of the line not covered by the
instantaneous step of the residual overcurrent
protection, the directional residual
overcurrent protection can be supported with
a logic that uses communication channels.
In the directional scheme, information of the
fault current direction must be transmitted to
the other line end. With directional
comparison, a short operate time of the
protection including a channel transmission
time, can be achieved. This short operate
time enables rapid autoreclosing function
after the fault clearance.
The communication logic module for
directional residual current protection
enables blocking as well as permissive under/
overreaching schemes. The logic can also be
supported by additional logic for weak-endinfeed and current reversal, included in the
ECRWPSCH function.

output signals to different output contacts on

the IED.

The 650 series IEDs have for this reason

available additions to scheme communication
logic.

TMAGGIO output signals and the physical

outputs are available in PCM600 and this
allows the user to adapt the signals to the
physical tripping outputs according to the
specific application needs.

If parallel lines are connected to common

busbars at both terminals, overreaching
permissive communication schemes can trip
unselectively due to fault current reversal.
This unwanted tripping affects the healthy
line when a fault is cleared on the other line.
This lack of security can result in a total loss
of interconnection between the two buses. To
avoid this type of disturbance, a fault current
reversal logic (transient blocking logic) can
be used.
Permissive communication schemes for
residual overcurrent protection, can basically
operate only when the protection in the
remote terminal can detect the fault. The
detection requires a sufficient minimum
residual fault current, out from this terminal.
The fault current can be too low due to an
opened breaker or high positive and/or zero
sequence source impedance behind this
terminal. To overcome these conditions,
weak end infeed (WEI) echo logic is used.

Configurable logic blocks

A number of logic blocks and timers are
available for user to adapt the configuration
to the specific application needs.
OR function block.
INVERTER function blocks that inverts the
input signal.
PULSETIMER function block can be used,

which are used for storing the number of
times each counter input has been activated.

Disturbance report
Complete and reliable information about
disturbances in the primary and/or in the
secondary system together with continuous
event-logging is accomplished by the
disturbance report functionality.
Disturbance report, always included in the

example corrective actions) and in the long

term (for example Functional Analysis).

Every disturbance report recording is saved

in the IED in the standard Comtrade format.
The same applies to all events, which are
continuously saved in a ring-buffer. The local
HMI is used to get information about the
recordings, but the disturbance report files
may be uploaded to PCM600 (Protection and
Control IED Manager) and further analysis
using the disturbance handling tool.

The event recorder logs all selected binary

input signals connected to the Disturbance
report function. Each recording can contain
up to 150 time-tagged events.

Event list DRPRDRE

Continuous event-logging is useful for
monitoring of the system from an overview
perspective and is a complement to specific
disturbance recorder functions.
The event list logs all binary input signals
connected to the Disturbance report function.
The list may contain of up to 1000 timetagged events stored in a ring-buffer.

Indications DRPRDRE
To get fast, condensed and reliable
information about disturbances in the
primary and/or in the secondary system it is
important to know, for example binary
signals that have changed status during a
disturbance. This information is used in the
short perspective to get information via the
local HMI in a straightforward way.
There are three LEDs on the local HMI
(green, yellow and red), which will display
status information about the IED and the
Disturbance report function (trigged).
The Indication list function shows all selected
binary input signals connected to the
Disturbance report function that have
changed status during a disturbance.

Trip value recorder DRPRDRE

Information about the pre-fault and fault
values for currents and voltages are vital for
the disturbance evaluation.
The Trip value recorder calculates the values
of all selected analog input signals connected
to the Disturbance report function. The result
is magnitude and phase angle before and
during the fault for each analog input signal.
The trip value recorder information is
available for the disturbances locally in the

fast, complete and reliable information about
disturbances in the power system. It
facilitates understanding system behavior and
related primary and secondary equipment
during and after a disturbance. Recorded
information is used for different purposes in
the short perspective (for example corrective
actions) and long perspective (for example
Functional Analysis).
The Disturbance recorder acquires sampled
data from all selected analog input and
binary signals connected to the Disturbance
report function (maximum 40 analog and 96
binary signals). The binary signals are the
same signals as available under the event

operation of protection functions. It can
record disturbances not detected by
protection functions.
The disturbance recorder information for the
last 100 disturbances are saved in the IED
and the local HMI is used to view the list of
recordings.

Fault locator LMBRFLO

The accurate fault locator is an essential
component to minimize the outages after a
persistent fault and/or to pin-point a weak
spot on the line.
The fault locator is an impedance measuring
function giving the distance to the fault in
percent, km or miles. The main advantage is
the high accuracy achieved by compensating
for load current.
The compensation includes setting of the
remote and local sources and calculation of
the distribution of fault currents from each
side. This distribution of fault current,
together with recorded load (pre-fault)
currents, is used to exactly calculate the fault
position. The fault can be recalculated with
new source data at the actual fault to further
increase the accuracy.
Specially on heavily loaded long lines (where
the fault locator is most important) where the
source voltage angles can be up to 35-40
degrees apart the accuracy can be still
maintained with the advanced compensation
included in fault locator.

Station battery supervision

SPVNZBAT
The station battery supervision function
SPVNZBAT is used for monitoring battery
terminal voltage.

Circuit breaker monitoring SSCBR

The circuit breaker condition monitoring
function (SSCBR) is used to monitor different
parameters of the circuit breaker. The
breaker requires maintenance when the
number of operations has reached a
predefined value. The energy is calculated
from the measured input currents as a sum of
Iyt values. Alarms are generated when the
calculated values exceed the threshold
settings.
The function contains a blocking

By configuration, activating an input
signal of the function block TESTMODE
By setting the IED in test mode in the
local HMI
While the IED is in test mode, all functions
are blocked.
Any function can be unblocked individually
regarding functionality and event signalling.
It enables the user to follow the operation of
one or several related functions to check
functionality and to check parts of the
configuration etc.

Change lock function CHNGLCK

Change lock function (CHNGLCK) is used to
block further changes to the IED
configuration and settings once the
commissioning is complete. The purpose is to
block inadvertent IED configuration changes
beyond a certain point in time.

Authority check ATHCHCK

To safeguard the interests of our customers,
both the IED and the tools that are accessing
the IED are protected, subject of
authorization handling. The concept of
authorization, as it is implemented in the IED
and in PCM600 is based on the following facts:
There are two types of access points to the
IED:
local, through the local HMI
remote, through the communication ports

16. Station
communication
IEC 61850-8-1 communication
protocol
The IED supports communication protocols
IEC 61850-8-1 and DNP3 over TCP/IP. All
operational information and controls are
available through these protocols. However,
some communication functionality, for
example, horizontal communication (GOOSE)
between the IEDs, is only enabled by the IEC
61850-8-1 communication protocol.
The IED is equipped an optical Ethernet rear
port for substation communication standard
IEC 61850-8-1. IEC 61850-8-1 communication
is also possible from the optical Ethernet
front port. IEC 61850-8-1 protocol allows
intelligent devices (IEDs) from different
vendors to exchange information and
simplifies system engineering. Peer-to-peer
communication according to GOOSE is part
of the standard. Disturbance files uploading
is provided.

Disturbance files are accessed using the IEC

61850-8-1 protocol. Disturbance files are
available to any Ethernet based application in
the standard COMTRADE format. Further, the
IED sends and receives binary signals from
other IEDs using the IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE
profile. The IED meets the GOOSE
performance requirements for tripping
applications in substations, as defined by the
IEC 61850 standard. The IED interoperates
with other IEC 61850 compliant IEDs, tools
and systems and simultaneously reports
events to five different clients on the IEC
61850 station bus.
All communication connectors, except for the
front port connector, are placed on integrated
communication modules. The IED is
connected to Ethernet-based communication
systems via the fibre-optic multimode LC
connector (100BASE-FX).
The IED supports SNTP and IRIG-B time
synchronization methods with a timestamping resolution of 1 ms.
Ethernet based: SNTP and DNP3
With time synchronization wiring: IRIG-B

Horizontal communication via

GOOSE for interlocking
GOOSE communication can be used for
gathering interlocking information via the
station communication bus.
