Illustrated bellow is the curve with a 90% characteristic time of 15 minutes. A setting establishes the time to reach 90% of a
steady-state value, just as the response time of an analog instrument. A steady-state valve applied for twice the response
time will indicate 99% of the value.
b) CALCULATION METHOD 2: ROLLING DEMAND.
This method calculates the linear average of the quantity over the set demand time interval. The calculation is made every
second. The value is updated every minute and indicates the demand over the time interval just preceding the time of
update.
c) CALCULATION METHOD 3: BLOCK INTERVAL
The Block Interval operation mode depends on the Trigger Enabled setting.
CALCULATION METHOD 3a: BLOCK INTERVAL With trigger setting DISABLED.
This method consists on integrating the measurements during the time period specified in the DEMAND INTERVAL
setting. The calculation will be made every second and the demand value will be the average of all values produced
during the time interval. The time interval is chosen in the DEMAND INTERVAL setting. The interval demand value will
be shown once this time has expired.
If, for example, the setting indicates 15 minutes for integration, the demand value update will be made every 15
minutes (although the calculation is made every second). This method calculates a linear average of the magnitude.
CALCULATION METHOD 3b: BLOCK INTERVAL With trigger setting ENABLED.
The demand value is given by integration of the measurement during the time between two consecutive pulses in the
input assigned. The input is assigned to DEMAND TRIGGER in Relay Configuration. The integration is made every
second with each new measure.
In case the interval between two consecutive pulses exceeds 60 minutes, the relay will calculate the demand after 60
minutes from the last pulse, this measure will be updated in the status and a new demand count will start. This method
calculates a linear average of the magnitude.

The maximum demanded value is stored in non-volatile memory. It is not cleared when the relay is turned off. When the
relay is turned on again, the maximum values are updated.
States associated to the demand (Actual>Status>Records Status>Demand) are the following:
Table 519: DEMAND ASSOCIATED VALUES
Besides the previously considered demand measures, two states are used for demand control:
DEMAND TRIGGER INP Bit type state, Programmable at Setpoint>Relay Configuration>Protection Elements in the
EnerVista 650 Setup software. This signal is used by the Block Interval demand method.
DEMAND RESET INP Bit type state, programmable at Setpoint>Relay Configuration>Protection Elements in the
EnerVista 650 Setup software. When this bit is activated, the demand measures are reset. All
stored values are reset to zero (for demand dates, this value represents January 1

5.3SYSTEM SETUP
This section shows the settings related to the system setup definition.
5.3.1 GENERAL SETTINGS
This section determines the settings of the element configuration regarding its connection to the power system.
Access to these settings using the EnerVista 650 Setup software is at Setpoint > System Setup > General settings.
The corresponding settings are shown on the table below:
Table 520: GENERAL SETTINGS
The system rated voltage is used as reference by the voltage restraint in the phase timed overcurrent element.
The Frequency reference marks the voltage channel to which the system Frequency is measured.
The auxiliary voltage setting can be selected between VN and VX.
VN means that all elements using neutral voltage will take the value directly from the fourth voltage input.
VX means that all elements using neutral voltage will take the value calculated from phase voltages.
5.3.1.1 OUT OF SERVICE SETTING
The unit has the Relay Out Of Service setting only configured at the general settings element. The unit has also an Out Of
service Status that it is only configured at Relay configuration > Protection elements tab. These states act stopping all the
changes on PLC equations and functions, even stopping all the changes in the input/output boards, so if there is a change
in any of the input or output the unit will not show this change until the unit has been set again in ready mode. For example
if an output is closed and the unit goes to out of service state, the output will be kept closed even though the state, that
makes it to close, change to open the output. When the unit goes out of the out of service state the output will be opened if
it was a change.

5.3.2 FLEX CURVES
The relay incorporates 4 user curves called Flex Curve A, B, C and D. The points for these curves are defined by the user
in Setpoint>System Setup>Flex Curves menu in EnerVista 650 Setup. User defined flex curves can be selected as an
operation curve in all the time overcurrent functions in the relay.
In the flex curves menu there are 120 points to define a user curve. 40 points for reset (from 0 to 0.98 times the pickup
value) and 80 for operate (from 1.03 to 20 times the pickup).

Table 521: FLEX CURVE SETTINGS
The definition of the curve points can be introduced directly in the Flex Curve settings menu. Alternatively they can be
created using the graphical tool provided by pressing Edit Curve in the Flex curves menu in EnerVista 650 Setup.
In the user curve edit screen (see Figure 53:), a base curve can be selected, from the Standard Curves menu. This curve
will be used as a template to create the user curve. Once the standard curve is viewed, it is possible to make the user curve
(operate, reset or both) reconcile the standard curve, using the Flex curve > set flex curve from the standard curve, and
then modifying any of the points by editing in the table the corresponding value.
The user can also view a different curve model to the one the FlexCurve has been adapted to, and compare both models to
adopt the most appropriate values in each case. If once the user curve has been configured, the user wants to store the
information, the Flex Curve > Exit with Data menu must be selected. If the results are not to be saved, the Exit without
Data option must be selected. Now, calculated points must be saved in the Flex Curve using the Store option.

5.3.3 BREAKER
There are two types of breaker settings:
Breaker settings: These settings correspond to the switchgear configured as a breaker in the F650; this switchgear is
used in the recloser functions, breaker failure and synchronism.
Breaker Maintenance: These settings correspond to the initialization of the (KI)
2
t counters, and the counting of the
number of openings and closings of the switchgear configured as a breaker.
5.3.3.1 BREAKER SETTINGS (SETPOINT > SYSTEM SETUP > BREAKER > BREAKER SETTINGS)
Table 522: BREAKER SETTINGS
Breaker settings are as follows:
Number of switchgear: This is the Number of the Switchgear that is configured as a breaker. It is the reference for
breaker failure (50BF), recloser (79) and synchronism (25) elements. The selected
switchgear in the breaker settings must be previously configured at Setpoint > Relay
Configuration > Switchgear. The relay allows to configure up to 16 switchgear elements,
but the one configured as a breaker will be the reference for (KI)
2
t, openings and closings
counters.
Maximum (KI)
2
t: This is the maximum set value for the square of the current multiplied by the breaker
opening time. There is a separate counter for each phase, but the value stored as the
maximum is a single value for the three phases.
(KI)
2
t Integration Time: This is the integration time taken as the base (fixed opening time) for the calculation of
(KI)
2
t.
Maximum Openings: This is the maximum number of openings allowed in the relay, with a limit of 9999; once
this value is exceeded, the relay will produce an alarm. When the limit 9999 is reached the
maximum openings counter will start from zero.
Maximum Openings in 1 hour: This is the maximum number of openings allowed in the relay during one hour; once this
value is exceeded, the corresponding alarm signal will be activated; this value is updated
and reset after one hour.
Snapshot Events: This setting enables or disables the snapshot event generation for the breaker signals.
The interrupted current limit setting, fixes the Maximum breaker capacity (this value is set depending on the information
provided by the breaker manufacturer); the relay incorporates a (KI)
2
t counter for each phase, when a breaker opening
occurs, the counter increases its value (in primary values). If the flowing current is lower than the rated current, the relay will
take the rated current value for its calculations. When the accumulated counter for each phase reaches or exceeds the set
value, the corresponding alarm signal will be activated.
The purpose of this function is to provide closer information of the current status of the breakers internal contacts. This is,
in order to ensure appropriate breaker maintenance, and to decrease the risk of damage when the breaker has suffered
severe operations during a long time. Once the breaker has been operated, and the preventive maintenance is in place, the
accumulated I
2
t values and the number of operations are reset to zero.

5.3.3.2 BREAKER MAINTENANCE
To consider used breakers, the relay allows to set initial I
2
t values as well as an initial number of operations, in order to take
into account previous breaker operations, as well as operations produced during testing. Breaker maintenance parameters
can be set in the breaker maintenance menu.
BREAKER MAINTENANCE (Setpoint > System Setup > Breaker > Breaker Maintenance)
Table 523: BREAKER MAINTENANCE SETTINGS
In this group of settings, the start values of the breaker Counters can be set.
These Counters allow the breaker Maintenance. They are used to accumulate the breaker aging produced by a trip or a
breaker opening. In order to incorporate the breakers history, in case of used breakers, the system allows assigning an
initial value to accumulated amperes, and to the number of opening and closing operations.
To supervise breaker aging, (KI)
2
t accumulated values are calculated and stored for each phase in each opening. If the
rated current is not exceeded, as in the case of a manual opening command, without fault current, the relay uses the rated
current instead of the measured value.
(KI)
2
t value is accumulated and maintained in independent Counters for each phase. Counters can be accessed through
the local HMI as well as through the EnerVista 650 Setup software. The element incorporates a setting to select the
integration time ((KI)
2
t Integ. Time).

The date and time can be synchronized a known time using the SNTP protocol or IRIG-B protocol (when it provides UTC

Real Time Clock.
When there is no SNTP protocol enabled or IRIG-B protocol is not set to UTC Time, the TIME SETTINGS are not used in
the Real Time Clock but are still used to calculate the UTC Time (i.e., for the IEC61850 protocol), but its behavior is not
assumed correct in several critical hour changes because of Daylight Savings Time getting effective. In these configuration
cases, it is recommended to disable Daylight Savings Time.

F650 elements incorporate a flexible grouping capability for protection ELEMENTS. This means that protection elements
can be used in either one of the following modes:
a) SINGLE SETTING GROUPS
In this operation mode, all protection elements can be activated and operated simultaneously.
b) THREE SETTING GROUPS
In this mode, protection elements are grouped in three independent tables. Only one of them will be active at a given time.
A logic signal, e.g. a digital input, will select which table is active at each time, providing adaptive protection to each
network condition.
Protection element grouping involves only Protection elements together with broken conductor detection and active and
directional power, which are usually considered as control elements. The rest of the control elements such as recloser, fuse
failure, breaker failure, synchronism, and breaker settings are not involved in the tabled groups concept.

When this setting is disabled, the relay is working in single setting group mode, with all the available protection elements
working at the same time. If this function is enabled, the setting groups will be enabled, and only the setting group indicated
by the Active Group setting will be active.
Active group: Possible values are 1, 2 or 3.
The setting group selected by default is setting Group 1. This setting indicates which setting group is active (for this
purpose, the previous setting must be set as ENABLED)
The Relay incorporates several signals associated to the Protection elements grouping in tables. First, signals that indicate
the group activation:
GROUP 1 ACT ON This signal produces the activation of setting group 1
GROUP 2 ACT ON This signal produces the activation of setting group 2
GROUP 3 ACT ON This signal produces the activation of setting group 3
These activation signals for the different setting groups are configured using EnerVista 650 Setup at Setpoint > Relay
Configuration > Protection Elements as shown in the figure.
Figure 54: TABLE CHANGE SIGNALS CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE
The example above uses three digital inputs to perform the table selection, but it is possible to use any other logic signal in
the relay.
In case of using digital inputs, the user can select the setting table activating these digital inputs (which could come from the
PLC, or from a different relay, or from an auxiliary switch, for adaptive protection). This selection of the active group has
priority over the setting. If several signals are active at the same time, the highest one will be taken as valid. For example, if
selection signals for both groups 1 and 2 are active, the active table will be number 2.
The time used in the table change is one PLC logic scan cycle (5 ms typical), allowing a fast adaptation to system changes.
Another type of signals are block signals. These are internal relay signals that indicate which groups are active, and which
are blocked. For example, if the setting group function is enabled and setting group 1 has been set as active, block signals
from setting groups 2 and 3 will be active, and the block signal that corresponds to group 1 will be inactive because that
group is enabled.
Block signals are as follows:
GROUP 1 BLOCKED
GROUP 2 BLOCKED
GROUP 3 BLOCKED
All signals corresponding to setting Groups, both the activation and the block signals, are located in the Actual > Status >
Control Elements > setting Groups menu.

5.4.2 INVERSE TIME CURVES CHARACTERISTICS
Inverse time curves available in time overcurrent elements are as follows:
IEEE extremely/very/moderately inverse
IEC Curve A/B/C/Long-Time Inverse/ Short-Time Inverse
IAC extremely/very/normally/moderately inverse
ANSI extremely/very/normally/moderately inverse
I2t
Definite time curves
Rectifier time curves
User Curve - FlexCurve A/B/C/D
Recloser Curves
The saturation level for the user curve is 20 times the pickup value, for the rest of time overcurrent elements the
saturation level is 48 times the pickup.
All these curves follow the standards defined for each of them, allowing an efficient coordination with other devices located
downstream. A dial or curve setting allows selection of a tripping time X times the set time in the selected curve. Fixing this
value to 0 would produce an instantaneous response for any selected curve.
Tripping time calculations are performed on the base of an internal variable called energy. This energy represents the
system dissipation capability, that is, when 100% of energy is reached, this means that the tripping time associated to the
curve for a certain current value has expired.
Therefore, once the current value has exceeded the pickup value, the relay starts increasing the energy variable value. If it
reaches 100%, a trip is produced. When the current value falls below 97% of the pickup value, the element is reset. There
are two reset types: Instantaneous and Timed (IEEE) or Linear.
The instantaneous mode provides that, when the current value falls below the reset level, energy is immediately reset to 0.
This mode is used for coordinating with static devices, which behave in a similar way. In the Linear mode, energy is
reduced at a speed associated to the reset times curve (showed in the curve tables), trying to simulate the behavior of
electromechanical relays.
5.4.2.1 IEEE CURVES
This family of curves follows the standard IEEE C37.112-1996 for extremely inverse, very inverse, and inverse curves. The
following formulas define this type of curve:

t = Operation time in seconds
Dial = multiplier setting
I = Input current
Itap = Current pickup value

5.4.2.8 USER CURVES - FLEXCURVES A/B/C/D
The relay incorporates 4 user curves called User Curve A, B, C and D. The points for these curves are defined by the user.
Each of the four curves has an operation characteristic (operate), defined by 80 points, and a reset characteristic, defined
by 40 points. Each point is defined as a time value for each I/I
pickup
value (number of times the pickup current) given on the
table. The user can assign values between 0 and 65.535 seconds in steps of 1 ms.
The following table details the 120 points as well as the characteristic for each of them, and a blank cell where the user can
write the time value when the operation (for I > I
pickup
) or the reset (for I < I
pickup
) is required,
Table 539: USER CURVE CHARACTERISTICS
The two first columns (40 points) correspond to the RESET curve. The other 4 columns, with 80 points in total, correspond
to the OPERATE curve. The reset characteristic values are between 0 and 0.98, and the operation values are between
1.03 and 20.
The final curve will be created by means of a linear interpolation from the points defined by the user. This is a separate
process for the RESET and the OPERATE curve.
The definition of these points is performed in a separate module from the relay, using a configuration program included in
the EnerVista 650 Setup, which incorporates a graphical environment for viewing the curve, thus making it easy for the user
to create it. This module can be accessed from the Edit Curve option in the FlexCurve menu, at Setpoint > System
Setup > Flex Curves.

5.4.3 PHASE CURRENT
The F650 Phase current menu incorporates the following overcurrent elements:
Phase time overcurrent (51PH/51PL)
Phase instantaneous overcurrent (50PH/50PL)
Phase directional overcurrent (67P)
Thermal Model (49)
5.4.3.1 PHASE TIME DELAYED OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS PHASE HIGH/LOW (51PH/51PL)
The phase overcurrent element (51P) operates in a time period that depends on the applied current and on the set curve.
The phase current input may be selected as fundamental phasor magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required
by the application. The element reset can be selected between Instantaneous and Linear (timed according to the
corresponding equation).
If the element timing is set as Definite Time, then the TD Multiplier setting will be use to define both the Operation time and,
in case of selecting Linear reset,. the Reset time of the element.
The element incorporates independent block inputs for each phase. When the element is blocked, the tripping time counter
is reset to 0. This feature allows the use of this input to instantaneously reset the protection element timing. The PICKUP
setting of the element can be dynamically reduced by a VOLTAGE RESTRAINT feature. Possible outputs for the protection
element logic are the pickup and tripping signals independent for each phase, and the general element pickup and tripping
signals.
The pickup current magnitude can be dynamically reduced depending on the existing voltage value. This is done using the
Voltage Restraint setting. The pickup current level is proportional to the phase-to-phase voltage measured according to a
coefficient shown on Figure 55:.This is accomplished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages
of the voltage restraint characteristic curve; the pickup level is calculated as Mvr times the Pickup setting. In the figure,
Vpp is the phase-to-phase voltage, and VT Nominal is the rated voltage set under General settings (please refer to section
5.3.1)

Table 564: 27P ELEMENT SETTINGS
Phase undervoltage element settings are:
Function Permission (Function): This setting indicates whether the phase undervoltage element is enabled or disabled.
Input mode (Mode): This setting allows selecting operation for phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground voltage,
depending on the selected setting.
Pickup Level: This is the voltage threshold below which the undervoltage element will operate.
Curve Shape (Curve): Undervoltage elements can be set to operate with definite time or with an inverse time
curve. Elements set as definite time operate when the voltage value remains under the
pickup setting during the set time. If inverse time is selected, the element will operate
according to the previously described inverse time curve.
Time Dial (Delay): Setting of the Protection element operation time.
Minimum voltage Threshold (Minimum Voltage):Voltage setting under which the undervoltage element is inhibited, in
order not to operate in dead line cases.
Operation logic (Logic): This setting allows the element operation logic selection:
ANY PHASE The element will operate under an undervoltage condition in any of the
three phases.
TWO PHASES The element will operate under an undervoltage condition in at least two
phases.
ALL PHASES The element will operate under an undervoltage condition in the three
phases.
Supervision by breaker status (Supervised by 52):This setting allows inhibiting the undervoltage element if the breaker
is open breaker. In case this setting is enabled, the undervoltage element will be
supervised by the breaker status. Otherwise, the element will operate independently of
the breaker status.
Snapshot Events: The snapshot event setting enables or disables the snapshot event generation for this
element.
5.4.8.2 PHASE OVERVOLTAGE ELEMENT (59P)
The Phase overvoltage element may be used as an instantaneous element with no intentional time delay or as a Definite
Time element. The input voltage is the phase-to-phase voltage, either measured directly from Delta-connected VTs or as
calculated from phase-to-ground (wye) connected VTs. The time delay can be set from instantaneous to 900 seconds. The
element reset can be delayed up to 900 seconds.
As in the case of the undervoltage element, this element generates independent pickup and trip signals for each phase.
The general signal is selectable by setting to be an OR or an AND of the phase signals.

5.4.8.3 NEUTRAL OVERVOLTAGE ELEMENT (HIGH LEVEL AND LOW LEVEL) (59NH/59NL)
The Neutral Overvoltage element can be used to detect an asymmetrical system voltage condition due to a ground fault or
to the loss of one or two phases of the source.
The element responds to the system neutral voltage (3V0), calculated from the phase voltages or measured by the 4th
voltage transformer.
VT errors and normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element.
The element time delay is selectable between 0 and 900 seconds and incorporates a reset with a selectable delay between
0 and 900 seconds.
Notice that the neutral overvoltage element will not be available if a DELTA Connection is set in the Phase VT Connection
setting in General settings, and the fourth voltage transformer input is set to the busbar voltage for the synchronism
element (Vx in Auxiliary Voltage setting). This is because with this combination of settings it is not possible to calculate the
zero sequence component from the phase-to-phase voltage magnitudes.

The block time allows blocking the element operation during a set time after the coupling breaker closure. For this purpose
it is necessary to connect the breaker bay using a 52B type contact. The purpose of this setting is to avoid spurious trips
caused by overloads after the breaker closure.

5.4.9.2 DIRECTIONAL POWER ELEMENT (32)
a) ELEMENT DESCRIPTION
The Directional Power element responds to three-phase active power measured from the feeder associated to the F650.
This element can be selected to operate according to the power threshold adjusted in the corresponding setting. This
element is ideal for reverse power applications (F32 REV) or forward power (F32 FWD), depending on the selected setting.
The relay measures the three-phase power for wye or delta connections.
The element has an adjustable characteristic angle and minimum operating power as shown in the Directional Power
Characteristic diagram. The element responds to the following condition:
P cos() + Q sin () > SMIN
where: P and Q are active and reactive powers as measured per the F650 convention, is the angle set at the 32 setting
(DIR POWER ANGLE) in degrees in steps of 0.01, and SMIN is the minimum operating power.
The element has two independent (as to the pickup and delay settings) elements. Both elements can be used for alarm and
trip, and they can be set separately to provide a mixed power protection.
The Directional Power Characteristic is shown in the following diagram.

By making the characteristic angle adjustable from 0 to 360 in steps of 0.01, a variety of operating characteristics can be
achieved as presented in the figures below. For example, for an angle of 0, the element would operate as a 32 Forward
Power element, while if setting an RCA angle of 180, the element would operate as a 32 Reverse Power element. For
angles of 90 and 270, the case would be similar but with reactive power.
Figures (a, b, c, d, e, f) below shows settings for different power applications.

The following table shows the SMIN and angle values that must be used for some typical applications:
Table 571: DIRECTIONAL POWER ELEMENT
By adding 90 to the angles shown on figures a, b, c and d, the represented elements would be similar but with Reactive
Power instead of Active Power.
Any other angle would provide a mixed Protection Between Active and Reactive power.
A different angle selection for Stage 1 and Stage 2 could provide in a single element, a Reactive and Active power
limitation. For example, using the following values:
Dir Power Angle 1(RCA) 0
Stage 1 Tap 0
Dir Power Angle 2(RCA) 90
Stage 2 Tap 0
We would obtain a mixed Protection Between figure (d) and figure (e).

Stage (1 - 2) Tap: This setting specifies the minimum Operation three-phase power for the Stage 1 (2) element. The power
value defined in this setting is the minimum distance between the source and the directional power characteristic. This
value can be positive or negative. The value of this setting is defined in total MW (primary) the CT and VT value is
considered in the calculations.
Stage 1 (2)Time: This setting specifies the delay for Stage 1 of the element. For reverse power or direct power
applications, usually Stage 1 is used for alarm functions, while Stage 2 is used for tripping functions.
Snapshot Events: This setting enables or disables the generation of events. All states in this function are affected by this
setting.
c) STATUSES
Statuses defined for this Function are as follows:
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) BLOCK: Writing status, operates by level. When this status is activated externally (via PLC), the
directional power element is blocked. This status affects both elements in the
protection element (stage 1 and 2).
Activation of this status produces the event: DIR PWR1 (2, 3) BLK ON.
Deactivation produces the event : DIR PWR1 (2, 3) BLK OFF.
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG1 (2) OP: This is activated when the element that corresponds to stage 1/2 is activated. Events
generated by this element are:
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG1 (2) OP ON
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG1 (2) OP OFF
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG1 (2) PKP: Activation of this status indicates that the power value has exceeded the threshold
indicated by the Stage 1/2 element. Events generated by this element are:
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG1 (2) PKP ON
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG1 (2) PKP OFF
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG PKP: This status is a logic OR between the DIR PWR STG1 PKP and DIR PWR STG2 PKP
statuses. Activation of this status indicates that the power value has exceeded the
threshold indicated by any of the Stage 1/2 elements. Events generated by this
element are:
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG PKP ON
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG PKP OFF
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG OP: This status is a logic OR between the DIR PWR STG1 OP and DIR PWR STG2 OP
statuses. This is activated when the element that corresponds to stage 1/2 is activated.
Events generated by this element are:
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG OP ON
DIR PWR1 (2, 3) STG OP OFF
NOTE:
Even if the element defined in this setting is MW, this does not necessarily mean that the resulting value and the RCA
setting are in MW. For example:
RCA: 30 SMIN: 100 MW.
If we assume that there is only active power. The element operation would be produced for a value of:
P = 100 / cos (30) = 115,7 MW.
If there was only reactive power:
Q = 100/sin (30) = 200,0 MVar.
(In this case the real Operation elements are Mvar, even if SMIN is expressed in MW.)

5.4.9.3 WATTMETRIC GROUND FAULT (32N)
a) WATTMETRIC ZERO-SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL HIGH AND LOW LEVEL (32NH, 32NL). ELEMENT DESCRIPTION
This document specifies wattmetric zero-sequence directional function, which can be used on solidly grounded, low-
resistance grounded, isolated or resonant (Petersen coil) grounded systems. The function determines presence and
direction of ground faults by measuring value and direction of zero-sequence power.
The element responds to power derived from zero-sequence voltage and current in a direction specified by the element
characteristic angle. The angle can be set within all four quadrants, the power can be selected to be either active or
reactive. Therefore, the element may be used to sense either forward or reverse ground faults in either inductive, capacitive
or resistive networks. Inverse time characteristic allows time coordination of the elements across the network.
Typical applications include ground fault protection in solidly grounded transmission networks, grounded/ungrounded/
resistor-grounded/resonant-grounded distribution networks, or for directionalizing other non-directional ground elements.
b) ELEMENT SETTINGS
wattmetric ground fault settings are:
Function: Enables or disables the directional element.
Voltage Pickup Level: The element uses neutral, i.e. 3 times zero-sequence, voltage. This setting specifies the
minimum neutral voltage supervising the directional power measurement. This threshold
should be higher than possible unbalance during normal operation of the system.
Current selection: The element responds to the neutral (3 times zero-sequence) current, either calculated
internally (IN) from the phase currents, or supplied externally (IG) via the ground CT input.
This setting allows selecting the source of the operating current.
OC Pickup Level: This setting specifies the current supervision level for the measurement of the zero-sequence
power.
OC Pickup Delay: This setting specifies delay for the overcurrent portion of this element. The delay applies to
the 32N1(2 3) HIGH(LOW) OC PKP operand driven from the overcurrent condition.

and the load. Whenever this balance is disrupted through the loss of an important generating unit, the effect will be a
reduction in frequency. A reliable method to quickly restore the balance between load and generation is to automatically
disconnect the selected loads, based on the actual system frequency. This technique called load-shedding maintains
system integrity and minimizes widespread outages.
The 81U element is an underfrequency control element. The pickup setting can be selected from 20.00 to 65.00 Hz. The
element reset time delayed is selectable between 0.00 and 900 seconds, and for the element to operate it is necessary that
the voltage value is over the value set for minimum voltage threshold. This way undesired trips are prevented when the
signal for metering the frequency is not available or has a very low value.

Note: Frequency protection units are fast and selective. Typical response times are in the range of 60 ms. In applications
where vector jumps, harmonics or transients are expected it is recommended adding a minimum timing of 50 to 100 ms.

5.5.4 SYNCHRONISM CHECK ELEMENT - SYNCHROCHECK (25)
Note: The Switchgear element used in the F650 synchronism element is the one configured in the Number of Switchgear
setting inside Breaker settings, at Setpoint > System Setup > Breaker > Breaker Settings.
The synchronism element is used for monitoring the connection of two parts of the circuit by the close of a breaker. This
element verifies that voltages (V1 and V2) at both sides of the breaker are within the magnitude, angle and frequency limits
set by the user. V1 and V2 are the line and busbar voltage values measured by the relay.
Synchronism check (25) is defined as the comparison of the voltage difference of two circuits with different sources to be
either linked through an impedance element (transmission line, feeder, etc.), or connected through parallel circuits of
defined impedance (Figure 522:) The voltage comparison between both sides of a breaker is performed before closing the
breaker, in order to minimize internal damage that could occur due to the voltage difference, both in magnitude and angle.
This is extremely important in steam generating plants, where reclosing output lines with angle differences could lead to
severe damage to the turbine axis.
Figure 522: SYNCHRONISM CHECK ELEMENT
The difference in voltage level and phase angle in a given moment is the result of the existing load between remote sources
connected through parallel circuits (load flux), as well as a consequence of the impedance of those elements connecting
them (even if there is no load flux in parallel circuits, or because sources to be connected are completely independent and
isolated from one another).
In interconnected systems, the angle difference between both ends of an open breaker is usually negligible, as its sources
are remotely connected through other elements (equivalent or parallel circuits). However, in isolated circuits as in the case
of an independent generator, the difference in angle, voltage levels and relative slip of voltage phasors can be very
important. It may happen that the relative slip of voltage values is very low or null so that they will rarely be in phase.
Luckily, due to the changing conditions of a power system (connection-disconnection of loads, sources, and new inductive-
capacitive elements) the relative slip between phasors is not null and they can be synchronized.
In the first case, even if we must take into consideration the length of the line whose ends (sources) will be connected for
determining the angle difference between them, this is not enough to fix the synchronism conditions before closing the
breaker. Experience tells us that the window of angle difference between voltage phasors must be fixed to a value of 15-
20.
WARNING
When testing this function do not forget that the relay must detect an open breaker to operate.

5.5.4.1 VOLTAGE INPUTS
In order to perform the synchronism check function, the F650 uses only one voltage from each end of the breaker. Voltage
values to be compared must be on the same basis, either phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground voltage; they must be the
same at both ends of the breaker; it is not possible to compare a phase-to-ground voltage at one end with a phase-to-
phase voltage at the other end.
Additionally, if on one end, three voltages have been connected, the necessary voltage on the other end for Function 25 will
only be single-phase voltage. If there is only one voltage (either phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground) at both ends of the
breaker, this must be from the same phase in both cases.
The selection of voltage values to be used by the synchronism element is made in the relay General settings:
V1 is the line voltage, selectable from the relay voltage channels, using the Frequency Reference setting at
Setpoint > System Setup > General settings > Frequency Reference. (Please refer to the voltage correspondence
Table 576:)
V2 is the busbar voltage measured at the auxiliary voltage input (terminals A11-A12). To enable the busbar voltage
metering in the relay, it is required to select VX in the Auxiliary Voltage setting at Setpoint > System Setup >
General settings > Auxiliary Voltage.
The voltage correspondence is detailed in the following table:
Table 576: VOLTAGE CORRESPONDENCE ELEMENT 25
Setpoint > System Setup > General settings > Auxiliary Voltage setting must be set to Vx, in order to monitor auxiliary
voltage instead of Vn (neutral voltage, coming from an open delta connection).
5.5.4.2 APPLICATION
Even if the application range of the F650 is quite wide and the element can be used in distribution lines at any voltage level,
it must be taken into account that it is a three-pole tripping relay, designed for managing a single breaker. This is why
F650 is not suitable for one and a half breaker configurations, or ring configurations where a transmission line or feeder has
two breakers.

This time is considered if the relative slip is higher than 5 mHz; in this case, an anticipative algorithm is
executed to calculate the closing signal with the necessary advance for the breaker effective Closing to be
produced when voltages are in phase. In case the frequency slip is high (higher than 5 Hz) and it is not
possible to obtain a closing in phase, the used algorithm ensures that the voltage difference in the moment
of the closing is lower than the set voltage (Max Voltage Difference).
Note: Take into account that the value of related settings "Frequency Slip (Max Freq Difference)" multiplied by
"Breaker Closing time (Time)" must no be higher than 1. If that value is higher, that means that is necessary more than
one cycle to perform a close signal. In that case the relay will give the close signal only in the remain time. This function
depend on the voltage difference, the angle difference, the frequency difference and the synchronism time to perform a
close signal:
Angle = 360 x Time x Max Freq Difference < 360 and Time x Max Freq Difference < 1
Closing permission logic settings:
In case that the voltage at one or both ends of the breaker is null, the synchronism element cannot establish the necessary
parameters to give closing conditions, and therefore it does not issue synchronism permission. For those situations where
the user wants to enable the closing permission in a condition of loss of one or both voltages at both ends of the breaker,
F650 elements incorporate closing permission logics for the cases of: dead line-dead bus, live line-dead bus and dead line-
live bus.
Dead line- Dead Bus Function permission (DL-DB Function): Enabling this Function allows issuing a
Closing permission signal in dead line and dead bus Condition (without voltage at both sides of the breaker).
Live line- Dead Bus Function permission (LL-DB Function): Enabling this Function allows to issue a
Closing permission signal in live line and dead bus Condition (without voltage at the sides of the breaker that
corresponds to the busbar voltage)
Dead line- Live Bus Function permission (DL-LB Function): Enabling this Function allows issuing a
Closing permission signal in live line and dead bus Condition (without voltage at the sides of the breaker that

5.5.4.5 ALGORITHM
F650 elements perform the synchronism check by basically establishing and comparing three parameters:
Module difference of voltage phasors V (V)
Phase angle of voltage phasors ()
Frequency slip between two phasors S (Hz)
These parameters are continuously determined and managed once that element 25 has been enabled by setting,
and in open breaker conditions. It is necessary to consider that all calculations are made once the open breaker
condition is detected; if the breaker is closed or undefined, the synchronism element will not issue a closing permission
signal, even when closing conditions are met.
If voltage on one side of the breaker to be closed is null, the synchronism element cannot establish the synchronism check,
and therefore it will not issue synchronism permission. For these cases, usual in breaker maintenance situations, or in new
installations where voltage might not be present, but the breaker operation needs to be verified, F650 elements incorporate
closing permission logics for situations of:
Dead Line Dead Bus (DL-DB)
Live Line Dead Bus (LL-DB)
Dead Line Live Bus (DL-LB)
In order to establish the closing permission signal, the first parameter used by the algorithm is the difference in magnitude
between line and bus voltages, and afterwards, the angle difference and frequency slip are verified.
Voltage Difference V
Comparing the voltage values for line voltage (V1) and busbar voltage (V2) at both sides of the breaker, the relay can

lower than V

Phase Angle Difference
In the live line-live bus Condition, once the voltage difference has been successfully verified in magnitude, the system
establishes the angle difference between both voltage phasors. If the angle difference is lower than the
set
(Max Angle
Difference) setting, then the system will verify the frequency slip S (Max Freq Difference).
Figure 523: VOLTAGE ANGLE DIFFERENCE
Frequency slip f
The relative frequency slip between phasors is calculated if the angle difference is lower than the
set
(Max Freq
Difference) setting. From the information obtained from the relay, the algorithm will know the slip (mHz) of both phasors,
and it will take as reference (V
Ref
) the lowest frequency phasor.
If the relative slip is higher than 5 mHz, the element performs an anticipative algorithm, determining the right moment to
give the closing command to the breaker, so that the breaker closes when the line and busbar voltages are in phase. If the
slip is higher than 5 Hz, as an in phase close is not possible, the algorithm ensures that the difference between voltages in
the real closing moment is not higher than the set value (Max Volt Difference). If the relative slip, f, is equal or lower than
0.005 Hz, the algorithm gives permission to close as soon as the angle difference conditions are met, because at such a
low speed, the hold time for getting an in-phase closing permission would be too long.
When the difference between voltage values equals two times the set angle as maximum angle difference (V = V
set
),
the anticipative algorithm starts running and uses the set breaker closing time to establish the initiation of permission, so
that it is executed in the moment when both voltage phasors are completely in phase, thus minimizing the voltage
difference in the breaker chamber to negligible values.
The main benefit is that after a considerable number of breaker operations, damage to internal connection elements, as
well as to the chamber isolating element is drastically reduced, ensuring a longer life for the breaker, and reducing costly
maintenance operations.

The F650 autoreclose element allows producing up to four breaker shots prior to lockout. Thanks to the great flexibility of
the F650 configurable logic, the conditions to produce the autoreclose initiation and the selection of which protection
elements will be enabled after each shot can be programmed. This flexibility allows implementing protection schemes that
used to require wiring and special functions in conventional equipment. One application is, for instance, to program as
instantaneous the first protection trip and the second one to be time delayed, in order to give time for output fuses to
burning of a feeder branch. This can be as simple as disabling the instantaneous elements after the first shot using the
programmable logic. (see example in section 5.5.5.6)

recloser out of the block status. The autoreclose goes to Lockout after a block situation.
AR INITIATE: This signal indicates the autoreclose initiation. Usually, the factory default configuration sets this
signal as a combination of the general trip signal (Virtual Output 83), and an external input
configured as AR Initiate.
AR CONDS INPUT: This signal configures the conditions that are to be met before executing a breaker close
command. These conditions are verified once the configured Dead Time has expired, and they
are only considered if the Cond. Permission setting is enabled. Otherwise, these conditions
wouldnt have any effect. In the default factory configuration, the conditions input is associated to

The following diagram describes the different autoreclose states, as well as the transitions between states.
Figure 526: GENERAL AUTORECLOSE STATUS DIAGRAM
Description of the general autoreclose status:
OUT OF SERVICE / AR DISABLE
In this status, the autoreclose is disabled. From any state, if the Function setting is set as DISABLED, the autoreclose will
move to OUT OF SERVICE status, where it is not operative.
AR READY
This is the initiation and normality situation status: closed breaker. There are neither faults producing a autoreclose
initiation nor Block signal.
If the autoreclose was in LOCKOUT, if the breaker is closed and the time set in Reclaim Time setting expires, the
autoreclose will go to the initial status of READY.
From RECLOSE IN PROGRESS, the recloser will move to READY, if the Reset Time setting expires without any
autoreclose initiation condition.
AR RECLOSE IN PROGRESS
5-102 F650 Digital Bay Controller GEK-106310AA
5.5 CONTROL ELEMENTS 5 SETTINGS
5
From READY status, a reclose initiation will set the cycle counter to 1 and a reclosing sequence will be initiated which
will produce breaker close commands, unless any abnormality is produced that will make the autoreclose go to
LOCKOUT status.
The reclosing sequence consists on the following steps:
Wait until the breaker is open, if the waiting exceeds the Fail to Open Time setting, the autoreclose will go to
LOCKOUT by failure of opening status (AR LCK BY FAIL OPEN).
Once the breaker is open, it waits for the time set in the Dead Time N setting, N being the number of the cycles in
progress. If during this waiting the breaker is closed or reclose initiation conditions are given, the recloser will go to
LOCKOUT status by anomaly (AR LCK BY ANOMALY).
Once the Dead Time has expired, in case the Conditions Permission setting is disabled, a closing command would
be produced. If the conditions permission setting is enabled, the system will wait for the conditions fixed in the
conditions input (AR CONDS INPUT) configured at Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Protection Elements; if the
waiting period for the reclosing conditions signal activation exceeds the Hold Time, the autoreclose will go to Lockout
status by conditions (AR LCK BY CONDS).
The autoreclose gives a Closing command and waits for the breaker to close. If the Fail to Close Time setting is
exceeded, the autoreclose will go to lockout by failure of closing (AR LCK BY FAIL CLOSE).
At this point, the diagram indicates that a reclosing cycle has been reached, and so the cycle counter is increased. In this
time, the period set in Reset Time starts to count. If during the set element reset time there is no autoreclose initiation, the
cycle counter will reset to its initial value (1), and the autoreclose will return to the standby status (READY). If during the
Reset Time setting period, there is a new autoreclose initiation, the Reclose In Progress sequence will start again. If this
reclose is produced after the last configured cycle in the Maximum Number of Shots setting, the autorecloser will go to
Lockout by maximum number of shots (AR LCK BY SHOTS).
AR LOCKOUT
This is a safety status, scheme lockout blocks all phases of the reclosing cycle, preventing automatic reclosure.
From the out of service (AR DISABLE) and BLOCK statuses, the autoreclose will stay in LOCKOUT prior to going to
READY.
From the RECLOSE IN PROGRESS status, the recloser will go to LOCKOUT status if any of the anomalies described
above occur.
To go from the LOCKOUT status to READY it is necessary that the breaker is closed and stays closed for preset time in
Reclaim Time setting.
AR BLOCK
The BLOCK status is similar to the LOCKOUT status, as it guarantees that if the autoreclose is in Block, no breaker
close command will be produced, but the difference between them is that this Block status is reached by an external
action. The autoreclose block can be configured by pulse or level signals. This configuration must be selected at
Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Protection Elements
When the autoreclose block signal is deactivated, either by a level change in the set signal (in case of block by level) or
by an Unblock pulse (in case of block by pulse), the block status is abandoned and the autoreclose returns to the
Lockout status.
Configurable signals to block the autorecloser are described in section 5.5.5.3.

5.5.5.6 LOGIC FOR BLOCKING PROTECTION FUNCTIONS DURING THE RECLOSING CYCLE
The F650 autoreclose generates a series of internal signals that allow performing block logics for Protection elements
during the reclosing cycle. These signals are blocks after autoreclose shots (BLK AFTER SHOT). For example, if the user
wants to block a protection element during the complete reclosing cycle, it is necessary to configure a signal as an OR of
the four blocking signals provided after each reclosing cycle in the logic configuration tool Setpoint > Logic Configuration,
and then use it to block the desired protection elements at Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Protection Elements.
Figure 527:shows an example of the logic configuration for the block signal during the reclosing cycle.
Figure 527: BLOCK SIGNAL DURING THE RECLOSING CYCLE
Figure 528: shows an example of the autoreclose initiation and protection element block signals after the different trips.
The autoreclose initiate signal is configured to the relay general trip that corresponds to virtual output 83 configured in the
logic configuration tool, and a physical contact to generate an external autoreclose initiation.
In the example shown on the figure, the 50PH element block signal is configured as a combination of block by digital input,
block by non-trip permission of the directional element, and finally the element will remain blocked during the reclosing
cycle. This means that only the first trip can be executed by the phase instantaneous overcurrent element; after the first
reclose trip, the element will remain blocked until the end of the cycle.

5.5.6 BREAKER FAILURE ELEMENT (50BF)
Note: The Switchgear element used in the Breaker Failure element is the one configured in the Number of Switchgear
setting, inside Breaker settings at Setpoint > Protection Elements > Breaker > Breaker settings
The breaker failure element is used to determine when a trip command sent to a breaker has not been executed within a
selectable delay. Most commonly it is a failure to open from the tripped breaker. In the event of a breaker failure, the 50BF
element must issue a signal that will trip the rest of breakers connected at that time to the same busbar, and that can
provide fault current.
Comparing the current measured by the Relay with a setting level makes breaker failure detection. If after receiving a
breaker initiate signal, the current level is maintained over the set level for a time period longer than the set time, this
indicates that the breaker that has received the opening command has not been able to open and clear the fault. The relay
would issue the corresponding breaker failure signal.
F650 elements incorporate 2 levels of current and time, together with a trip without current element, and an internal arc
detection element.
The breaker failure Initiate signal is configured at Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Protection Elements. In the BRK
FAILURE INITIATE input, the user must select the desired signal for the breaker failure initiation.

The following figure shows the logic scheme for the breaker failure element:
Figure 529: LOGIC SCHEME FOR 50BF
The breaker failure element has three levels. The first one is called Retrip or Supervision. This operation level can be
used to give a signal to the breaker on which the initial opening has been executed. This is sometimes a usual practice; 50
milliseconds after the trip signal, a retrip signal is sent to the breaker.
Besides the supervision or retrip level, there are two additional levels, known as Hiset and Lowset. These two levels,
together with their time delays, allow executing complex protection schemes. Additionally to these two supervision levels,
there is a second time stage called second step.
Operation of breaker failure elements by level (supervision, hi set and lo set) is produced when the current level is higher
than the set current for the pickup of each level during the time set in the corresponding delay setting.
High and low levels constitute a second step level; for the pickup of this second level, only the pickup of any of the two
levels (hiset and loset) is required. For the element pickup to dropout it is required that the current is under the pickup levels
of both hiset and loset settings. Once the second level time delay has expired, a Second Step trip signal will be issued.
50BF element incorporates also a no current tripping element, and an internal arc element. The no-current trip element is
governed only by the status of the breaker auxiliary contact; once the external breaker failure initiation signal is received, if
the breaker status does not change to open during the set time in the element (No Current Delay), the corresponding
breaker failure signal is issued (BKR FAIL NO CURRENT),
The internal arc element inside the breaker failure element is independent from the external breaker failure signal; this
element is used to detect arcing produced with an open breaker; if a higher current that the set level is detected during a
period that is longer than the set delay for the element (Internal Arc Delay), and the breaker is open, the corresponding
internal arc signal will be issued (INTERNAL ARC).

Note: The Switchgear element used in the VT Fuse Failure element is the one configured in the Number of Switchgear
setting, inside Breaker settings at Setpoint > Protection Elements > Breaker > Breaker settings. This switchgear must
have previously been configured at Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Switchgear
The fuse failure detector is used to block protection elements that can operate incorrectly due to a partial or total voltage
loss. This loss can be caused by the voltage transformers secondary circuit protection fuse failure.
Setpoint > Control Elements > VT Fuse Failure
Table 585: VT FUSE FAILURE ELEMENT SETTINGS
The fuse failure element has only two settings, one to enable or disable the element and the other to enable or disable the
snapshot event generation.
The fuse failure signal provided by the element (VT FUSE FAILURE) can be monitored at Actual> Status > Control
Elements >VT Fuse Failure
5.5.7.1 FUSE FAILURE ALGORITHM
To detect different types of fuses failures, it is necessary to use different detection methods. In example, a fuse failure
indication with loss of one or two voltage phases provides a significant level of negative sequence voltage, instead of a loss
of all voltage phases which will cause a very low positive sequence voltage, but any negative sequence voltage.
F650 elements detect fuse failure under three possible situations:
(1)Breaker closed and positive sequence voltage (V1) under an established value (V1<0.5 p.u.).
(2)Positive sequence voltage lower than 0.5 p.u (V1<0.5 p.u.) and positive sequence current higher than 0.075 p.u.
(I1>0.075 p.u.).
(3)Ratio between the negative and positive voltage components (V2/V1) higher than 0.25.
With the activation of any of the three previous signals during a period longer than 80 ms, the fuse failure signal (VT FUSE
FAILURE) is activated. Once this signal is activated, it is latched until whatever caused it disappears; for this purpose the
following condition must be met:
(4)Positive sequence voltage higher than 0.75 p.u and positive sequence current lower than 0.05 p.u.
The fuse failure signal can be used to issue an alarm and/or to block elements that may operate incorrectly due to a partial
or total loss of voltage. Protection elements that are usually blocked by the fuse failure signal are voltage restraint
overcurrent elements, and directional elements. To configure the block of these elements it is necessary to enter the
Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Protection Elements menu and select as block input for protection elements, the fuse
failure operation signal.

5.5.8 BROKEN CONDUCTOR
F650 incorporates a broken or fallen conductor detection function. The relay uses the ratio between the negative sequence
current, I
2
, and the positive sequence current I
1
. In normal and balanced load situations, this ratio is zero, while in severe
load fault conditions, an unbalance is produced and this ratio increases.
Setpoint > Control Elements > Broken Conductor
Table 586: BROKEN CONDUCTOR ELEMENT SETTINGS
This way, when the function is enabled and the unbalance is produced over the set percentage, the element will pick up. If
unbalance conditions are maintained during a period longer than the set time delay, the element will trip.
In order to avoid trips or pickups with very weak loads there is a current level threshold to inhibit the operation of the
element when the three phase currents are below a fixed level.
Note: The I2/I1 current inhibition level for the different firmware versions is as follows:

The Operation Threshold level has been included to allow the user selecting the current inhibition level suitable for a
particular application, in order to avoid operation of the element when the relay is not connected to the line or in case the
relay has previously operated correctly and has been disconnected from the line, as in this case the operation condition is
met but the relay should not trip.
The operation threshold operation is as follows:
The Broken conductor element will be fully operational if at least one of the phase currents is higher than the setting. This
condition assumes that the relay is connected to the line.
If the element is on trip or pickup condition, the element will be reset if the three phase currents are below the operation
threshold level. This condition assumes that the relay is not connected to the line and therefore the relay should not trip.
Due to the response time of this function, if the set time delay is 0s, a trip could occur in situations where, for example, one
of the currents is stopped before the rest, as these currents would produce a negative sequence current calculation.
Therefore, to avoid this kind of undesired trips, it is strongly recommended to establish a minimum time delay setting, such
as 100 ms, or higher depending on the expected normal unbalances in the network. This is to differentiate these situations
from broken conductor situations.
5.5.9 LOCKED ROTOR
F650 incorporates a locked rotor element with three elements. Protection element 48 produces a trip when current
(primary values) exceeds the set value. This current setting value is the product of the set Full load current by the pickup
setting.

The freeze and unfreeze and reset operations are similar to the energy management, the signals used for that purpose are
the same for both energy and pulse counters.
By default, all the values are unfreeze, updating the values in a continuous mode. After a freeze operation the freeze value
stops updating and the actual value is being updated. If a freeze operation is set again, the actual value will be copied to

The analog level value is by default in a reset state, when the value meets the comparison (inside or outside the
comparison band) the "Analog Level X" signal will be activated if the analog value remains active the time set in the analog
delay setting. When the activation conditions are not met the "Analog Level X" value will go to the reset state.

The load encroachment element responds to the positive-sequence voltage and current and applies a characteristic shown
in the figure below.

The element operates if the positive-sequence voltage is above a selectable level and asserts its output signal that can be
used to block selected protection elements such as distance or phase overcurrent.
The customer must take into account that the time programmed in the overcurrent element must be higher than the time
programmed in the load encroachment function to avoid false tripping.

5.6.3 INPUTS
5.6.3.1 INPUT SETTINGS DESCRIPTION
Input Activation Voltage Threshold: The range of this value goes from 20 to 230 volts. There is a single setting for all
inputs in the same group (inputs sharing the same common). In mixed and supervision boards there are two groups of
inputs, called A and B., in 32DI board there are four groups of 8 inputs each.
Debounce Time: This is the debounce time set for inputs (1 to 50 ms). The debounce time is the time window for input
filtering. If an input suffers a change of level that lasts less than this set time, the change will not be considered. There is a
single setting for all inputs in the same group.
Input Type: Type of logic associated to the physical input. Possible settings are, positive and negative.
Positive and Negative settings correspond to signals that are activated or deactivated with the input level, considering the
delay setting. Positive-edge, and Negative-edge settings correspond to signals that are activated with the change of the
input signal; in this case, the Delay Input Time will not be considered, only the Debounce Time; this edge signals are
deactivated automatically after one PLC scan cycle. Figure 533: shows the types of signals associated to the different
input configuration types.
Delay Input Time: This is the delay applied to the input signal; the default value is zero, meaning no delay; the setting
range is 0 to 60000 milliseconds (1 minute). This setting is used in slow switchgear applications.
This is not a grouped setting; there is a different setting for each input. It is important to distinguish between this delay
input time and the debounce time used for filtering undesired transients in the input signal. The Debounce time is always
added to the delay input time.

5.6.5 CIRCUIT SUPERVISION AND CONTACT SEAL-IN CIRCUITS
Circuit Supervision:
F650 elements can include supervision boards (type 2), either in their internal slot F, or in an additional CIO module
connected to the element via a CAN Bus (slots H and J). This type of board includes 4 voltage detectors for implementing
tripping or opening circuit supervision control logics.
Contact Seal-in:
The current seal-in circuit is used for verifying the current condition in a circuit during the time that the tripping contact
remains closed. If the current in the tripping circuit is maintained over 500 mA, the function is sealed independently of the
status of the function that caused the trip.
This current seal-in function in tripping circuits is mainly used in applications where auxiliary contacts 52/a (in charge of
cutting the current in the tripping circuit) are very slow. This may cause that, once the function that produced the trip is
reset, the relay contact will open before the breaker auxiliary 52/a, even if the time delay of the first has expired.
By using this function, we prevent the relay contact from cutting the current (basically inductive and high) from the tripping
circuit, which could cause damage to the element, as these currents exceed the nominal breaking characteristics.
The circuit and the current threshold of the function are as follows:
Figure 535: CURRENT SUPERVISION
5.6.5.1 DIGITAL INPUTS
a) WITH TRIP CIRCUIT SUPERVISION
The supervision board includes:
8 digital inputs in two groups of 4 inputs with one common, in terminals F9 to F10
8 auxiliary outputs: 6 normally open contacts in terminals F19 to F30 and two current sensing (latching) outputs (F31-F33
and F34-F36).
2 groups of inputs for trip circuit supervision with 4 voltage detectors. The first group includes two isolated digital inputs,
terminals F1-F2 and F3-F4. The second group, symmetrical and identical to the first, is formed by isolated voltage inputs
F15-F16 and F17-F18.
Using voltage detectors and current sensing, it is possible to implement several trip or close circuit supervision schemes, as
well as protection of the element output contact.

5 SETTINGS 5.6 INPUTS/OUTPUTS

In order to implement these schemes, it is not necessary to set any setting in the element. Internal functions are always
operative and provide the following logic operands:
Table 5104: SUPERVISION LOGIC OPERANDS
A continuity failure is detected in a circuit when both voltage detectors (Va and Vb) detect lack of voltage during more than
500 ms. This function is not influenced by the breaker status.
These operands can be associated to internal signals (virtual outputs), LEDs or element outputs, to issue alarm signals or
to block elements, for example for blocking the Breaker close if an anomaly is detected in the trip circuit.
Available schemes are as follows:
1. Without supervision
2. With current supervision (with seal-in)
3. With simple voltage supervision
4. With double voltage supervision
5. With current and simple voltage supervision (with seal-in)
6. With current and double voltage supervision (with seal-in)
7. With current and double voltage supervision (with seal-in) and serial resistor in voltage monitors.
The following subsections describe the different types of connection to create each supervision scheme in an easy way. As
the supervision circuits are identical, only the first group connection examples will be described, being also applicable to the
second group.
In order to assure a high isolation level between groups, the digital inputs for supervision have been located in a
symmetrical basis. That is to optimize the isolation between groups that can be connected to different batteries, and
therefore requiring a greater distance between circuits.

b) WITHOUT SUPERVISION
This is a very frequent common case, and we must only wire the tripping circuit to terminals F35 and F36, leaving unused
terminals F34, F15, F16, F17, F18.

c) WITH CURRENT SUPERVISION (WITH SEAL-IN)
In this case, as shown in Figure 537:, the current supervision circuit consists of a circuit connected in series with the
output contact, so that the external circuit is wired to terminals F34 and F36. This supervision circuit includes a low
impedance reed relay that is activated when the current value exceeds 200 mA, and sends a signal to the main
microprocessor. This will latch the output relay in such a way that this indication can be used to produce a latching of the
output relay, so that it will remain closed while the circulating current is over 200 mA. To use the seal-in feature in the relay
it is not necessary to configure any setting. It works, we only must program the corresponding Circuit latching setting wiring
the external circuit to terminals F34 and F36.
With this scheme, in the case of a failure to open from the breaker auxiliary contact, the F650 output relay will not be the
one to open the tripping coil current, as in this case the contact may result damaged, as it is prepared for opening currents
around 0.35 A at 125 Vdc. This latching or memory function is only guaranteed while the element is powered.

Table 5106: SUPERVISION ALGORITHM WITH SIMPLE VOLTAGE SUPERVISION SCHEME
In this table, ON means that the voltage detector V52/a is active, detecting a voltage.
In the first case shown on the table, with closed breaker, voltage is detected by V 52/a sensor, and this means that there is
continuity in the supervised circuit.
As shown on Figure 538:, when the relay is not tripped, trip contact F35-F36 remains open. If the breaker is closed, its
auxiliary contact 52a is closed. Therefore, a little current is flowing, about 2 mA, through terminals F15 and F16 through the
voltage detector circuit, which flows through 52/a and the tripping coil 52TC (TC = tripping coil). Current will only circulate
when there is continuity in the whole circuit, so the complete circuit is monitored, and not only the trip coil. This circuit
includes auxiliary 52/a as well as the whole wiring between the battery and the relay tripping terminals, and between these
and the breaker tripping circuit.
For the second case shown on the table, open breaker, its auxiliary contact 52/a remains open, and current cannot flow
through it for detecting continuity. In order to correctly monitor the circuit, a resistor must be used, not included in the
protection, connected in parallel. The value of resistance will be selected so that the V 52/a input circuit minimum detection
current flows, but not as high as to activate the breaker-tripping coil. The figure shows the following equation:
Where:
Vmin Is the minimum voltage, in Volts, expected in the battery (e.g. 80% of Vn)
R Resistance, in kilo ohms.
2 2 mA of approximate current flowing through input V 52/a
As shown in the second case in the table, with an open breaker, as current will flow through R if there is continuity in the
WHOLE tripping circuit, voltage will be detected in input V 52/a.
This works correctly in steady state. However, if the breaker trips, while it is opening, the V 52/a input signal can be
deactivated without this meaning that the circuit is not correct. This is due to the fact that the tripping relay, terminals F35-
F36, short circuits input V 52/a temporarily.
Therefore, if there is a trip signal, it is permitted that no signal will be detected during a period of 1s to allow the breaker to
open, and reopen the tripping relay F35-F36.

not be used, but it must be observed in the element logic that the corresponding signal CONT IP_F_CC16 (SUP_COIL2)

Table 5107: SUPERVISION ALGORITHM WITH DOUBLE VOLTAGE SUPERVISION SCHEME
There is a possibility to monitor the trip circuit continuity not only via its auxiliary contact 52/a, but also with auxiliary contact
52/b. This avoids the need to install a resistance in parallel with auxiliary 52/a. The correct connection is shown on Figure
540:
The circuit works in a similar way to the one described in the previous section, but it uses both supervision inputs F15-F16
and F17-F18.
The advantage in this case is that circuit supervision with 52 open is more complete, as input V 52/b is used through
contact 52/b, (that is closed when the breaker is open).
We must point out that in this scheme, the tripping contact, shown in the example as the F650 trip relay, can be the one in
the relay (terminals F35 and F36), or be provided by another protection or by the parallel of several protections. This
provides high flexibility in the use of this circuit.
The battery voltage can also be monitored, by using one of the standard digital inputs.

Figure 541:shows the supervision scheme with an external resistor.
An external series resistor is used with the 52a voltage monitor to prevent CB tripping with a short-circuited voltage monitor.
With CB open, 52/a is open and 52/b is closed. A shorted 52/a voltage monitor will not cause a trip because 52/b voltage
monitor is current limited to 2mA. With a shorted 52/b voltage monitor, no false trip will be performed because 52/a is in
series limiting current to 2mA.

5.9.3.1 HOW TO PROGRAM AN OPERATION
Example of how to program an operation to close a breaker with an operating time of 90 ms (closing), incorporating 52/b
contacts to indicate the change of position, using an interlock logic to enable the operation if there is synchronism condition,
and there is no autoreclose in progress. The operation must be commanded from the relay faceplate using one of the
available operation push buttons.
To configure the related operation, go to Setpoint > Relay Configuration and select Operations tab.
This screen shows all the fields required for the operations configuration in the F650. In order to select an operation, press
on the operation name under the Select column, and all the related parameters will be enabled. The chosen name for the
operation is entered in Command Text. To configure an interlock logic, select the Logic option in Interlocks Type.
Once this option has been selected, the interlock configuration screen will be enabled. To display this screen, click on
Press for Logic for the desired operation on its Interlocks column. On this Interlocks screen, the two conditions that
conform the Interlock that enables the operation have been selected. To save the interlock, press on the disk icon on the
toolbar. A Logic Saved message will be displayed.
Once the Interlocks have been defined, the user must define the success conditions for the operation, define Final State
Type as LOGIC, and a PRESS FOR LOGIC message will light up below Final States. When clicking on PRESS FOR
LOGIC, the success condition screen will be displayed, defining there as BREAKER CLOSED.
The front key to be used for executing the Operation can be selected on the Frontal Key column, in this example the Key I
option is selected on Frontal Key. As none of the other contact input or virtual output options are going to be used they
will be set as None. The success condition time Time out is set to 500 ms, and the operation is only enabled through the
relay keypad, so only the MMI option is selected, thus disabling the rest of options (COM1, COM2, ETHERNET master are
not selected).

5.10LOGIC CONFIGURATION (PLC EDITOR)
Setpoint > Logic Configuration
The F650 logic allows setting the relay logic configuration using a sophisticated and complete program based on standard
IEC 61131-3, with block diagrams, which is described in this section.
5.10.1 INTRODUCTION
The logic configuration (or PLC Editor) tool is a graphical design tool that allows the F650 built complex logic diagram in an
easy way using different logic functions.
The logical configuration is performed using graphical functions based on the IEC 61131-3 standard.
This standard defines five basic ways of programming:
Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
Instruction List (IL).
Structured Text (ST).
Ladder Diagram (LD).
Function Block Diagram (FBD).
Out of these five methods, FBD has been chosen because it allows for graphical configurations that are more
comprehensive. This method provides the possibility of grouping several basic functions inside a single function (hereon
called libraries), achieving higher modularity and clarity in the design.
Please take note of the following remarks:
The first equation entered in the PLC can never be a timer
Analog elements (analog comparators, etc,) are not implemented.

5.10.2.2 LOGIC COMPILATION
The F650 configuration will be made using the basic operations related before and more complex operations can be
developed inside libraries.
All the graphical configuration performed in the Logic configuration editor must be read and interpreted by the PLC as the
F650 engine. The graphical equations must be translated into compiled equations to be understood by the relay. For this
purpose the logic configuration editor provides a compilation option to compile the whole configuration, creating a series of
equations that will form the logical configuration of the element.
The next diagram shows the way compiled logic equations are built.
Figure 555: COMPILED LOGIC EQUATIONS
A single equation is composed of one or more inputs, one or more operations, and one output. The order of equations is
determined by the relative position of their outputs.
In the following example is shown the order of compilation for equations determined by their relative position in the
configuration file:
Figure 556: ORDER OF EQUATIONS
In this case, equation A is the first to be executed. However, in the second case, the first equation to be executed would be
B, as its output is before the Equation A output.

5.10.4 CONFIGURATION GENERATION
5.10.4.1 CREATE A NEW PROJECT
Clicking on the File > New Project menu option, a new PLC project is open, where the user can program the desired
automatism. An automatism can be formed by one or more equations.
5.10.4.2 CREATE EQUATION
A single equation can be formed by one or more inputs, one or more operations, and one output.
The order of equations is determined by the relative position of their respective outputs, this order being downward.
To link the output of an equation with the input of another equation, an internal variable (virtual output) must be used.
The virtual output is used as an input to the second equation.
5.10.4.3 ADD AN INPUT TO AN AUTOMATISM
Using the mouse click on the button that represents the inputs in the toolbar at the top of the screen. A logic input can be
any of the available digital internal status provided by the relay. Such as protection status, contact inputs, contact outputs, I/
O status, other protection status, front keys, LEDs, operation bits, virtual inputs and virtual outputs.
5.10.4.4 ADD AN OUTPUT TO AN AUTOMATISM
Using the mouse click on the button that represents the outputs in the toolbar at the top of the screen. The logic outputs are
always virtual outputs (up to 512 configurable signals).
5.10.4.5 ADD A DIGITAL OPERATION
Press on any of the digital operations in the toolbar at the top of the screen, and then click on the window background.
Afterward a box with the selected digital operation will be displayed and the inputs and outputs much be connected to the
logic box as explained before.
5.10.4.6 LINK INPUTS, OUTPUTS AND OPERATIONS
The user can link the different graphic objects clicking on an object output and dragging to the input of another graphic
object. Graphic objects available in the PLC configuration are digital objects.
There is a series of restrictions when performing connections:
It is not possible to auto-link an object; the output of a certain object cannot be linked to its input;
There can only be one input per object input;
RESET and SET outputs must be internal variables or outputs.
We must take into account that as the timer is a digital operation that operates as an analog, there must only be a single
internal variable or digital input in the timer input.
5.10.4.7 ADD A LIBRARY
Click on the LIB button and select the corresponding file.

Users can build their own libraries and distribute them in their projects in an easy way.
The manufacturer provides default libraries such as ORs, ANDs of 3 up to 8 inputs, besides timers (pickup-dropout) and
key examples.
5.10.5 GENERATION OF LIBRARIES
Libraries can contain a set of operations grouped in a single graphic object being formed by inputs, outputs and operations
Working with libraries follows the same procedure as working in the main project menu, the only difference is that the inputs
and outputs to the library must be selected as external inputs and outputs. The rest of variables are internal variables used
in the logic compilation.
The name assigned to the inputs and outputs of the library and to the library itself will be ones used to represent the library
as an object in the main project.
Internal variables inside the libraries will be assigned randomly when compiling.
These libraries are saved in the LIB folder in order to be used in further projects
5.10.5.1 LIBRARY EXAMPLE
Go to the main menu File >Library > Open Library
> New Library
Open a new library or modify an existing one, in this example a timer library is going to be displayed Timer (Pkp-Dpt).lib as
shown on Figure 557:

Green and blue signals are internal inputs and outputs used in the library and are not going to be accessible to the user
when working in the main menu outside the library environment. The white boxes (T_Input, T_Pickup, T_Dropout,
T_output) are inputs and outputs to the library that are going to be accessible to the user to connect the library in the main
application to create virtual outputs to be sent to the relay.

5.10.6 EXAMPLE OF APPLICATION
In this section a simple logic application is described step by step, a logic is such that keeping one digital input activated,
several outputs will be activated and deactivated in a time window (outputs will remain activated for 200 ms and
deactivated for 5 ms). See the following figure:
Figure 559: LOGIC EXAMPLE
Go to the main menu and select File >New project, create a new project and select an input in the icons toolbar on the top
of the window. This input will be selected as a digital input among the several options for inputs that can be selected.
This input is the SET input for the first timer to launch the output activation signal. Click on the icon related to the timer
to insert the timer on the project. The timer has three inputs (S=set, R=reset and T=timing input)
The reset signal of the first timer is a virtual output called output_deactivation that has been created as an output of another
second timer. This signal is selected as an output
The timing signal for the first timer is a mask provided by the application, in which the time in milliseconds must be entered
in order to configure the timer time delay.
GEK-106310AA F650 Digital Bay Controller 5-163
5 SETTINGS 5.10 LOGIC CONFIGURATION (PLC EDITOR)

After creating the first timer, the second one for output deactivation is made. The set signal will be the virtual output created
as an output of the first timer (VO_100_OUTPUT_ACTIVATION), the reset signal will be the output of the second timer
(VO_100_OUTPUT_DEACTIVATION), the time delay is set as 200 ms.
Once the timing logic (timer 1 + timer 2) has been created, the activation signal (VO_100_OUTPUT_ACTIVATION) is linked
to several virtual outputs. Therefore, virtual outputs (VO_102_OUTPUT_1, VO_103_OUTPUT_2, VO_104_OUTPUT_3,
VO_105_OUTPUT_4) will be activated if the CONT IP_G_CC1(CC1) variable is set to 1. Once the
VO_100_OUTPUT_ACTIVATION is active, it will be deactivated after 200 ms, and will remain deactivated for 5 seconds.
This process will be repeated while the digital input is active.
To finish the process the logic must be compiled (Run >Compile) and the equations sent to the relay (Run >Send
Equations to relay) to start working with the new logic.

MMXU parameters:
The MMXU deadband settings represent the deadband values used to determine when updating the MMXU.mag. and
.cVal. values from the associated .instmag. and .instcVal. values.
The .mag. and .cVal. values are used for the IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reports. These settings correspond to the
associated .db data items in the CF functional constraint of the MMXU logical node, as per the IEC 61850 standard.
According to IEC 61850-7-3, the db values will represent the percentage of difference between the maximum and the
minimum in units of 0.00%. Thus, it is important to know the maximum value for each MMXU measured quantity, since this
represents the 100.00% value for the deadband. The minimum value for all quantities is 0; the maximum values are as
follows:
A value of 1000 represent the 1% of the scale.
The minimum and maximum main values (secondary) are:
-For Current 0 to 160 A
-For Voltage 0 to 300 V

This menu is located in Setpoint > PROCOME Configuration
When opening the Procome configuration tool, the program will ask to open an existing "f650procome.cfg" file, if this option
is cancelled, the user will enter in the procome configuration tool with no file selected. There is the possibility to retrieve the
procome configuration from the relay and start working with it. The user can "save" the changes to the f650procome.cfg
configuration file, and send it to the relay "Send Configuration". In order to start working with the new procome
configuration, the relay must be switched off and on.
The procome slave can be identified (besides the slave number) with a long name (8 characters identifier) and with a sort
name (4 characters identifier) that can be set in the procome configuration file.
The control data that can be configured can be classified in digital signals, measurements and operations. The user can
configure some PROCOME parameter in the f650procome.conf file and then send this file to the relay. The parameters that
are possible to configure are:

The user must select the digital signals to be sent to the PROCOME master configuring the identifier number (Procome ID)
for each of them. Take into account that this procome ID is the bit in which is set the digital signal configured in that ID, for
example, it the contact input 1 from the board G is configured to the Procome ID 10, the signal 10 will be located in the byte
1 bit 2 of the answer sent by the procome slave.
To configure a new signal, set the procome ID selected for that signal, select the digital signal in the combo box that will
appear and the press the "Add" button, that signal will be added to the status list signals configured in the procome
configuration file. If the user wants to remove an existing signal from the status list, select the signal with the mouse and
then press on the "remove" button and the signal will be removed from the status list. To save the data in the configuration
file, press the "save" button and all the data will be stored in the "f650procome.cfg" file.
Analog Measurements:
In the measurements configuration screen, for each measurement selected the configuration signals are:
Procome ID: which is the identification number for each measurement
Identifier: it is the measurement selected to be sent in the procome slave answer
Factor: it is the multiplier factor to be applied to the relay measurement to make the final measurement calculation to
be sent to the master
Offset: it is an offset factor to be applied to the relay measurement to make the final measurement calculation to be
sent to the master
The Factor and offset parameters allow the user to perform different scaling in the relay measurements. The final
measurement sent to the procome master will be: a*x+b, where x is the relay measurement, a is the multiplier factor and b
is the offset.

Counters Operations:
The counter operations screen is a dedicated configuration screen for the counter (pulse and energy) operations to freeze,
unfreeze and reset.
These operations must be set in the "Setpoint > Relay configuration > Operations" and "Setpoint > Relay
configuration>Protection Elements" in FREEZE ENERGY CNT, UNFREEZE ENERGY CNT and RESET ENERGY CNT.
For example if the ENERGY RESET operation is the 6th one in the operations screen, it must be configured to the
"ENERGY RESET CNT" input in the protection elements screen. To configure this operation to be launched through
procome see the example below. This configuration screen has the same management as the operations one.

5.13IEC 60870-5-103 PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION
The IEC103 Configuration option will only be available if the F650 that supports this protocol (3 in the ordering code for
protocol selection). The IEC103 protocol for the F650 can be configured using the EnerVista 650 Setup program in the
menu Setpoint>IEC103 Configuration.
When opening the IEC103 configuration tool, the program will ask to open an existing "f650iec103.cfg" configuration file, if
this option is cancelled, the user will enter in the IEC103 configuration tool with no file selected. There is the possibility to
retrieve the IEC103 configuration from the relay pressing "Retrieve Configuration" button and start working with it. The user
can save the changes to the configuration file, and send it to the relay pressing "Send Configuration" button. In order to
start working with the new IEC103 configuration, the relay must be switched off and on.
The IEC103 slave can be identified (besides the slave number) with a long name (8 characters identifier) and with a sort
name (4 characters identifier for the manufacturer's internal software release) that can be set in the IEC103 configuration
file.
The control data that can be configured are: digital states, measurands and commands. The user can configure some
IEC103 parameters in the configuration file and then send this file to the relay
Digital states:
All the digital states that F650 supports, will be available in order to be mapped using the EnerVista 650 Setup program. All
the mapped information will be send as a respond to a general interrogation.
In the interoperability table, the states that the standard propose have been selected with the suitable information number.
Some of them must be generated in the firmware code as an OR operation. This information is mapped by default, but the
user can delete them if desired. For the other states, the customer can assign the Information Number <1..255> and the
Function Type <0..255>, but the Identification Type 1 (Time-tagged message) is fixed.
First of all, to configure a new mapping of a digital state, the user must set the Function Type and the Information number.
Then select the "Digital Status" option from the first combo box in the "Status" frame for mapping a single digital state, and
the digital state to be sent to the IEC103 master from the second combo box. On the other hand, the customer can
configure a logic OR operation of digital states selecting the "Logic" option from the first combo box and pressing the "Press
for Logic" button. In the screen that will appear, the user can choose the digital status combination to be sent to the IEC103
master. Then Press the "Save" button.
Finally press the "Add" button and the configured data will be added to the Status List.
If the user wants to remove an existing signal from the status list, select the signal with the mouse and then press on the
"Remove" button and the signal will be removed from the status list.
In the same way, if the user wants to change a configured signal from the status list, select the signal with the mouse, make
the changes and then press on the "Update" button and the signal will be updated in the status list
To save the data in the configuration file, press the "Save" button and all the data will be stored in the corresponding "*.cfg"
file.

Measurands:
The standard proposes some analog points supported by the F650 with compatible information number that has been
included in the previous profile.
For the other measurands, it would be possible to use the 650 EnerVista Setup to select the desired point and assign the
Identification Type (3 or 9), Function Type <0..255>, and Information Number <1..255>.
If the user selects Identification Type 3 (ASDU 3) only four measurands will be available for the configuration, but if
Identification Type 9 (ASDU 9) is selected, up to nine measurands could be sent in the IEC103 slave answer. For each
measurand, all metering values that F650 supports, will be available in order to be mapped.
In the measurands configuration screen, with each selected measurement, a Factor and an Offset must be configured. The
Factor is a multiplier factor and the Offset is an offset factor to be applied to the relay measurement to make the final
measurement calculation to be sent to the master The factor and offset parameters allow the user to perform different
scaling in the relay measurements. The final measurement sent to the IEC103 master will be: "a*x+b", where "x" is the relay
measurement, "a" is the multiplier factor and "b" is the offset.
The measurands will be send to the primary station as a respond to class 2 request. There is a Timeout configurable with
increments of 100 ms, between 0 and 60 min, in order to configure the interval desired.

Commands:
All the configurable commands and virtual inputs self-reset will be available in order to be mapped using the EnerVista 650
Setup program. It would be possible to choose the desired command for the ON state and the same or different command
for the OFF state.
The customer will be able to select the Information Number <1..255> and the Function Type <0..255>, but the Identification
Type 20 (General Commands) is fixed and it will be used to send a command to the slave station.
Pressing the "Add" button the configured data will be added to the Operations List. The processes of removing, updating
