Introduction
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Ensure that all connections to the product are correct so as to avoid accidental risk of shock
and/or fire, for example such as can arise from high voltage connected to low voltage terminals.
Follow the requirements of this manual, including adequate wiring size and type, terminal torque settings, voltage,
current magnitudes applied, and adequate isolation/clearance in external wiring from high to low voltage circuits.
Use the device only for its intended purpose and application.
Ensure that all ground paths are uncompromised for safety purposes during device operation and service.
Ensure that the control power applied to the device, the alternating current (AC), and voltage input match the ratings
specified on the relay nameplate. Do not apply current or voltage in excess of the specified limits.
Only qualified personnel are to operate the device. Such personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all safety
cautions and warnings in this manual and with applicable country, regional, utility, and plant safety regulations.
1 Hazardous voltages can exist in the power supply and at the device connection to current transformers, voltage
transformers, control, and test circuit terminals. Make sure all sources of such voltages are isolated prior to
attempting work on the device.
Hazardous voltages can exist when opening the secondary circuits of live current transformers. Make sure that
current transformer secondary circuits are shorted out before making or removing any connection to the current
transformer (CT) input terminals of the device.
For tests with secondary test equipment, ensure that no other sources of voltages or currents are connected to such
equipment and that trip and close commands to the circuit breakers or other switching apparatus are isolated,
unless this is required by the test procedure and is specified by appropriate utility/plant procedure.
When the device is used to control primary equipment, such as circuit breakers, isolators, and other switching
apparatus, all control circuits from the device to the primary equipment must be isolated while personnel are working
on or around this primary equipment to prevent any inadvertent command from this device.
Use an external disconnect to isolate the mains voltage supply.
Personal safety can be affected if the product is physically modified by the end user. Modifications to the product
outside of recommended wiring configuration, hardware, or programming boundaries is not recommended end-use
practice. Product disassembly and repairs are not permitted. All service needs to be conducted by the factory.
LED transmitters are classified as IEC 60825-1 Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) Class 1M. Class 1M
devices are considered safe to the unaided eye. Do not view directly with optical instruments.
This product is rated to Class A emissions levels and is to be used in Utility, Substation Industrial
environments. Not to be used near electronic devices rated for Class B levels.
Product description
and PTP (according to IEEE Std. 1588-2008 or IEC 61588), and it allows access to the relay via any standard web browser
(T35 web pages). The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. The Ethernet port also supports the
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) of IEC 62439-3 (clause 4, 2012) when purchased as an option.
GOOSE and secure Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) are supported with software options. Process Bus GOOSE is supported with
a hardware module and software options.
With a Process Bus Module that supports IEC 61850-9-2LE and IEC 61869, PRP is supported on two Ethernet ports to IEC
62439, and High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) is supported on four Ethernet ports for dual HSR ring
2 architecture.
Settings and actual values can be accessed from the front panel or EnerVista software.
The T35 uses flash memory technology that allows field upgrading as new features are added. Firmware and software are
upgradable.

RW = read and write access
R = read access
Supervisor = RW (default), Administrator = R (default), Administrator = RW (only if Supervisor role is disabled)
NA = the permission is not enforced by CyberSentry security
If a RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, server authentication requests are denied. In this
situation, use local UR accounts to gain access to the UR system.
The R-GOOSE protocol described in IEC 61850-8-1 is available through the IEC 61850 software option. R-GOOSE
security requires the CyberSentry software option.
Process Bus GOOSE requires an IEC 61850-9-2LE / IEC 61869 Process Bus Module, as well as IEC 61850, PRP, and
IEEE 1588 software options.

The UR samples its AC signals at 64 samples per cycle, that is, at 3840 Hz in 60 Hz systems, and 3200 Hz in 50 Hz systems.
The sampling rate is adjusted dynamically to the actual system frequency by an accurate and fast frequency tracking
system.
The analog/digital converter has the following ranges of AC signals:
Voltages:
Currents:
Current harmonics are estimated based on raw samples with the use of the full-cycle Fourier filter. Harmonics 2nd through
25th are estimated.
True RMS value for the current is calculated on a per-phase basis. The true RMS can be used for demand recording or as an
input signal to Time Overcurrent function, if the latter is intended for thermal protection. The true RMS is calculated as per
the widely accepted definition:
t
1 2
I RMS t = -- ³ i t dt
T
t–T Eq. 2-3
2 RMS values include harmonics, inter-harmonics, DC components, and so on, along with fundamental frequency values.
The true RMS value reflects thermal effects of the current and is used for the thermal related monitoring and protection
functions.
Protection and control functions respond to phasors of the fundamental and/or harmonic frequency components
(magnitudes and angles), with an exception for some functions that have an option for RMS or fundamental
measurements, or some function responding to RMS only. This type of response is explained typically in each element's
section in this instruction manual.
Currents are pre-filtered using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter. The filter is designed to reject DC components
and low-frequency distortions, without amplifying high-frequency noise. This filter is referred to as a modified MIMIC filter,
which provides excellent filtering and overall balance between speed and accuracy of filtering. The filter is cascaded with
the full-cycle Fourier filter for the current phasor estimation.
Voltages are pre-filtered using a patented FIR digital filter. The filter has been optimized to reject voltage-transformer-
specific distortions, such as Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) noise and high-frequency oscillatory components. The
filter is cascaded with the half-cycle Fourier filter for the voltage phasor estimation.
The URs measure power system frequency using the Clarke transformation by estimating the period of the waveform from
two consecutive zero-crossings in the same direction (negative-to-positive). Voltage or current samples are pre-filtered
using a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter to remove high frequency noise contained in the signal. The period is
used after several security conditions are met, such as true RMS signal must be above 6% nominal for a certain time. If
these security conditions are not met, the last valid measurement is used for a specific time after which the UR reverts to
nominal system frequency.
Synchrophasors are calculated using a patented convolution integral algorithm. This algorithm allows use of the same
time-stamped samples, which are used for protection and taken at the same sampling frequency. This allows URs to use
one sampling clock for both protection algorithms and synchrophasors.
Synchrophasors on firmware versions 7.23 and up have been tested and certified to meet IEEE C37.118-2011 and
C37.118.1a-2014 standards for both metering and protection classes with outputs available up to 60 synchrophasors per
second for the metering class and 120 synchrophasors per second for the protection class. Synchrophasors measurement
is also available via IEC 61850-90-5 protocol.
The contact inputs threshold is settable in the firmware with 17, 33, 84, and 166 V DC settings available. Inputs are scanned
every 0.5 ms and can be conditioned for the critical applications, using debounce time timer, settable from 0.0 to 16.0 ms.
Contact inputs with auto-burnishing are available as well, when external contacts are exposed to the contamination in a
harsh industrial environment.
All measured values are available in the UR metering section on the front panel and via communications protocols.
Measured analog values and binary signals can be captured in COMTRADE format with sampling rates from 8 to 64
samples per power cycle. Analog values can be captured with the Data Logger, allowing much slower rates extended over
a long period of time.
Other advanced UR order code options are available to support IEC 61850 (including fast GOOSE, ICD/CID/IID files, and so
on), IEEE 1588 (IEEE C37.238 power profile) based time synchronization, CyberSentry (advanced cyber security), the Parallel
Redundancy Protocol (PRP), IEC 60870-5-103, and so on.

quency current. It also depends on the source of the signal. DSP or HardFiber transducers can saturate and cause higher error than
stated here, while with an MU-320 merging unit as a source, it meets the accuracy stated here due to immunity of the MU-320 to satura-
tion.

The following specifications apply to filter interface modules implemented before January 2012.
The power budgets are calculated from the manufacturer’s worst-case transmitter power and worst case receiver
sensitivity.
The power budgets for the 1300 nm ELED are calculated from the manufacturer's transmitter power and receiver
sensitivity at ambient temperature. At extreme temperatures these values deviate based on component tolerance.
On average, the output power decreases as the temperature is increased by a factor of 1 dB / 5 °C.
Typical distances listed are based on the following assumptions for system loss. As actual losses vary from one
installation to another, the distance covered by your system can vary.

Do not touch any rear terminals while the relay is energized, else death or serious injury can
result from electrical shock.
Small form-factor pluggable ports (SFPs) are pluggable transceivers. They transmit, receive, and
convert electrical signals to optical signals and vice-versa. Supplied with the device, they are inserted
into the Ethernet ports on the CPU and/or Process Bus modules. A photo in the Maintenance chapter
shows this plug-in device. Do not use non-validated transceivers or install validated transceivers in
the wrong Ethernet slot, else damage can occur.
When using a copper SFP with a Process Bus Module, GE recommends limiting the length of the
copper Ethernet cable to three meters (9.8 feet) and confining it within one bay/cubicle.
When using a Process Bus Module, to view if the SFP is 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps, enter the IP address of
the T35 in a web browser and access Process Card Menu > Process Card SFP Information.
Terminal number assignments are three characters long and assigned by module slot position, row number, and column
letter. Two-slot wide modules take their slot designation from the first slot position (nearest to CPU module), indicated by
an arrow on the terminal block. The figure shows an example of rear terminal assignments.

The torque used to connect the screws that connect the terminal blocks (top screws a, b, c) and the metal plates over
empty slots to the chassis is 9 inch-pounds. For the screws used to wire the terminal blocks (rows 1 to 8), use 19±1 inch-
pounds.
The CPU module type depends on order code. During manufacturing, the power supply and CPU modules are installed in
slots B and D of the chassis with 13 inch-pounds of torque on the screws at the top and bottom of the modules. Wire
connections to these two modules at 13 inch-pounds.

Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused
by high peak voltage transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference
(EMI). These protective components can be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90
specified test voltage for longer than the specified minute.
Power supplied to the relay must be connected to the matching power supply range of the relay. If
incorrect voltage is applied or voltage is applied to the wrong terminals, damage can occur.
The T35, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are well-
known to deteriorate over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be avoided by
powering up the relay at least once a year.
The power supply module is ordered with one of two possible voltage ranges, and the T35 can be ordered with or without a
redundant power supply module option. Each range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges
are as follows (see the Specifications section of chapter 2 for details):
• Low (LO) range — 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal
• High (HI) range — 125 to 250 V nominal
All the power supply modules provide power to the relay and a critical failure relay. The critical failure relay is a form-C
device that is energized once control power is applied and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test
failures. If ongoing self-test diagnostic checks detect a critical failure (see the Self-Test Errors section in chapter 7) or
control power is lost, the relay de-energizes.
SL and SH modules also provide an control power external output of 48 V DC for dry contact input connections. The TH
model does not provide this control power external output.
Connect all wires at the back of a UR before connecting to power, else death or serious injury can
result from electrical shock.

Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single-phase source. For voltage inputs, these channels are labelled as
auxiliary voltage (VX). For current inputs, these channels are intended for connection to a CT between system neutral and
ground, and are labelled as ground current (IG).
Verify that the connection made to the relay terminals for nominal current of 1 A or 5 A matches the
secondary rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs can result in equipment damage or
inadequate protection.
To connect to the module, size 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG) is used commonly; the maximum size is 10 AWG.
CT/VT modules can be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current input. Each AC
current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that shorts the input when the module is
withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current transformers with 1
to 50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries can be used.
CT/VT modules with a sensitive ground input are also available. The ground CT input of the sensitive ground modules is 10
times more sensitive than the ground CT input of standard CT/VT modules. However, the phase CT inputs and phase VT 3
inputs are the same as those of regular CT/VT modules.
These modules have enhanced diagnostics that can detect automatically CT/VT hardware failure and take the relay out of
service.
CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical, as shown in the Typical Wiring Diagram.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence core balance CT to detect ground fault current is shown as follows. Twisted-pair
cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

The phase voltage channels are used for most metering and protection purposes. The auxiliary voltage channel is used as

The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic operands (CONT OP # VON,
CONT OP # VOFF, and CONT OP # ION) that can be used in protection, control, and alarm logic. The typical application of
the voltage monitor is breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring; a typical application of the current monitor is seal-in of the
control command.
See the Digital Elements section of chapter 5 for an example of how form-A and solid-state relay contacts can be applied
for breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring.
Consider relay contacts unsafe to touch when the unit is energized. Death or serious injury can
result from touching live relay contacts.
Where a tilde “~” symbol appears, substitute the slot position of the module. Where a number sign “#” appears,
substitute the contact number.
When current monitoring is used to seal-in the form-A and solid-state relay contact outputs, give the
FlexLogic operand driving the contact output a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage of the output
contact (in situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at values in the
region of the pickup value).
For high-density input/output modules 6W and 6X, use the following guidelines to connect. The new I/O modules use pin
type terminal blocks instead of the current ring type. The new terminals are required to achieve higher I/O count per
module.
• 12 to 24 AWG (3.3 mm2 to 0.2 mm2), single wire termination
• 16 to 24 AWG (1.31 mm2 to 0.2 mm2), multiple wire termination with matching wire sizes and stranding. Two wires
maximum per circuit
• Suggested wiring screw tightening torque is a minimum 4.43 in-lb (0.5 Nm) and maximum 5.31 in-lb (0.6 Nm)

The presence of the impedance path (R1) across the contact output allows the stray (distributed) capacitance C1 to charge
as shown, thus developing a voltage across the contact input enough to momentarily operate the input while the
capacitance discharges in the presence of DC ground on the positive terminal of the battery.
The duration of the discharge depends on the value of the distributed capacitance, the initial voltage of the distributed
capacitance, and the input impedance of the contact input. If the duration is greater than the debounce time setting, then
the contact input operates.
The application example that follows describes how to mitigate this issue by connecting a resistor across the contact
input, as shown in the next figure, or by adjusting the debounce time setting to a value greater than the discharge time to
prevent spurious operation of the contact input only if the voltage (with output open) across the contact input due to trickle
current is less than the threshold voltage. This operation of contact inputs also can be prevented by using the Auto-Burnish
contact inputs or contact inputs with active impedance.

Application example
This example is for illustrative purposes only and the calculations present the worst-case scenario. In practice, the value of
debounce time can be lower.
Contact input ON state impedance used in the calculation of the discharge period is based on the following table.

is open and the voltage across the contact input is third trigger threshold to calculate the resistor value.
When the contact is ON (operate state), the battery voltage appears across the resistor. The wattage rating of the
3
resistor is then:
PR = 1.3 * (Vbatt) ^2 / R Watts Eq. 3-3
4. Applying the following equation to our example:
R = 84 V / 3 * (1 / 2 mA) = 14 kΩ
PR = 1.57 Watts Eq. 3-4
5. Calculating the voltage across the contact input with the Burden Resistor, Voltage across the contact Input:
Vresistor = 2 mA * 14 Kohm = 28 V
Vresistor < contact input threshold (84 V) Eq. 3-5
In conclusion, in this example, the contact input does NOT operate falsely with the Burden Resistor across its input AND
when a battery ground is present.

Regular contact inputs limit current to less than 3 mA to reduce station battery burden. In contrast, contact inputs with
auto-burnishing allow currents up to 50 to 70 mA at the first instance when the change of state is sensed. Then, within 25
to 50 ms, this current is slowly reduced to 3 mA as indicated. The 50 to 70 mA peak current burns any film on the contacts,
allowing for proper sensing of state changes. If the external device contact is bouncing, the auto-burnishing starts when
external device contact bouncing is over.
Another important difference between the auto-burnishing input module and the regular input modules is that only two
contact inputs have common ground, as opposed to four contact inputs sharing one common ground (see the Contact
Input and Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact inputs to separate voltage sources.
Consequently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs.
The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.

3.3.9.1 Overview
There is a rear RS485 communication port on the CPU module.
The CPU module does not require a surge ground connection.
For Sampled Value (SV) applications using a Process Bus Module with order code 85, 86, or 87 with IRIG-B for
synchronization, follow the recommended cables and grounding connections. If using a Process Bus Module and IRIG-B as
the synchronizing source, GE recommends moving the grounding from the IRIG-B generator to UR terminal D4a in order to
better protect the IRIG-B input from long bursts of transient noise.

Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are provided internally at both communication ports. An
isolated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum
reliability, ensure that all equipment has similar transient protection devices installed.
Terminate both ends of the RS485 circuit with an impedance as shown in the figure.

There is a round IRIG-B connector at the back of the CPU module, marked "IN." Use is optional.
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized among connected devices. The
IRIG-B code allows time accuracies of up to 100 ns. The GE MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock as well as third-party equipment
are available for generating the IRIG-B signal. This equipment can use a global positioning system (GPS) satellite system to
obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can be synchronized. The IRIG time code
formats are serial, pulse width-modulated codes that can be either DC level shifted or amplitude modulated (AM). Using
IRIG-B input, the T35 operates an internal oscillator with 1 µs resolution and accuracy.

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

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

The following figure shows the connection for three UR-series relays using two independent communication channels. UR1
and UR3 have single type 7 communication modules; UR2 has a dual-channel module. The two communication channels
can be of different types, depending on the type 7 modules used. To allow the direct input and output data to cross-over
from channel 1 to channel 2 on UR2, set the DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting to “Enabled” on UR2. This forces UR2 to
forward messages received on Rx1 out Tx2, and messages received on Rx2 out Tx1.

3.4.4.1 Description
G.703 is an International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard for the transmission of data and voice signals. Modules
7R (one channel) and 7S (two channels) apply.
The following figure shows the 64K ITU G.703 co-directional interface configuration. This is module 7S.
The G.703 module is fixed at 64 kbps. The SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP DIRECT I/O DIRECT I/O DATA RATE setting is not
applicable to this module.
AWG 24 twisted shielded pair wiring is recommended for external connections, with the shield grounded only at one end.
Connecting the shield to pin X1a or X6a grounds the shield since these pins are connected internally to ground. Thus, if
pin X1a or X6a is used to ground the shield at one end, do not ground the shield at the other end. This interface module is
protected by surge suppression devices.

In dual loopback mode, the multiplexers are active and the functions of the circuit are divided into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their respective signals. Differential Manchester data
enters the Differential Manchester receiver module and then is returned to the differential Manchester transmitter module.
Likewise, G.703 data enters the G.703 receiver module and is passed through to the G.703 transmitter module to be
returned as G.703 data. Because of the complete split in the communications path and because, in each case, the clocks
are extracted and reconstructed with the outgoing data, in this mode there must be two independent sources of timing.
One source lies on the G.703 line side of the interface while the other lies on the differential Manchester side of the
interface.

3.4.5.1 Description
There are two RS422 inter-relay communications modules available: single-channel (module 7T) and dual-channel (module
7W). The modules can be configured to run at 64 kbps or 128 kbps. AWG 20 to 24 twisted shielded pair cable is
recommended for external connections. These modules are protected by optically-isolated surge suppression devices.
The shield pins (6a and 7b) are connected internally to the ground pin (8a). Proper shield termination is as follows:
• Site 1 — Terminate shield to pins 6a or 7b or both
• Site 2 — Terminate shield to COM pin 2b
Match the clock terminating impedance with the impedance of the line.

outputs from the multiplexer (data module 1) connects to the clock inputs of the UR RS422 interface in the usual way. In
addition, the send timing outputs of data module 1 are also paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2. By
using this configuration, the timing for both data modules and both UR RS422 channels is derived from a single clock
source. As a result, data sampling for both of the UR RS422 channels is synchronized via the send timing leads on data
module 1, shown as follows. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not wanted, the
G.703 interface is a viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected to the electrical interface (G.703, RS422, or X.21) of a non-
compliant digital multiplexer via an optical-to-electrical interface converter that supports the IEEE C37.94 standard. The
following figure shows the concept.
842756A2.CDR
In 2008, GE Grid Solutions released revised modules 76 and 77 for C37.94 communication to enable multi-ended fault
location functionality with firmware 5.60 release and higher. All modules 76 and 77 shipped since the change support this
feature and are fully backward compatible with firmware releases below 5.60. For customers using firmware release 5.60
and higher, the module can be identified with "Rev D" or "Rev E" printed on it and is to be used on all ends of T35
communication for two and three terminal applications. Failure to use it at all ends results in intermittent communication
alarms. For customers using firmware revisions below 5.60, it is not required to match the revision of the modules installed.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module has six switches to set the clock configuration. The following figure shows
the functions of these control switches.
Figure 3-56: Switches
Loop timing mode
Internal timing mode (factory default)
842753A2.CDR
For the internal timing mode, the system clock is generated internally. Therefore, set the timing switch selection to internal
timing for relay 1 and loop timed for relay 2. There must be only one timing source configured.
For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, set the timing selection to
loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems.
To remove the IEEE C37.94 communications module cover and set the switches:
1. With power to the relay off, remove the IEEE C37.94 module (type 2G, 2H, 2I, 2J, 76, or 77 module) as follows. Record
the original location of the module to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct
slot.
2. Simultaneously pull the ejector/inserter clips located at the top and bottom of each module in order to release the
module for removal.
3. Remove the module cover screw.
4. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
5. Set the timing selection switches (channels 1 and 2) to the required timing modes (see description earlier).
6. Replace the top cover and the cover screw.
7. Re-insert the IEEE C37.94 module. Take care to ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot
position. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged
position as the module is inserted smoothly into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis,
engage the clips simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module is inserted fully.

In 2008, GE Grid Solutions released revised modules 2A and 2B for C37.94SM communication to enable multi-ended fault
location functionality with firmware 5.60 release and higher. All modules 2A and 2B shipped since the change support this
feature and are fully backward compatible with firmware releases below 5.60. For customers using firmware release 5.60
and higher, the module can be identified with "Rev D" printed on it and is to be used on all ends of T35 communication for
two and three terminal applications. Failure to use it at all ends results in intermittent communication alarms. For
customers using firmware revisions below 5.60, it is not required to match the revision of the modules installed.
The UR-series C37.94SM module has six switches that are used to set the clock configuration. The following figure shows
the functions of these control switches.
Figure 3-59: Switches
842753A2.CDR
For the internal timing mode, the system clock is generated internally. Therefore, set the timing switch selection to internal
timing for relay 1 and loop timed for relay 2. There must be only one timing source configured.
For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, set the timing selection to
loop timing mode for connections to higher-order systems.
To remove the C37.94SM communications module cover and set the switches:
1. With power to the relay off, remove the C37.94SM module (module 2A or 2B) as follows. Record the original location of
the module to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.
2. Simultaneously pull the ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module in order to release
the module for removal.
3. Remove the module cover screw.
4. Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the rear and then lift it upwards.
5. Set the timing selection switches (channels 1 and 2) to the required timing modes (see description earlier).

To communicate through the T35 rear RS485 port from a computer RS232 port, the GE Grid Solutions RS232/RS485
converter box is required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a straight-through serial
cable. A shielded twisted-pair wire (20, 22, or 24 AWG) connects the F485 converter to the T35 rear communications port.
The converter terminals (+, –, GND) are connected to the T35 communication module (+, –, COM) terminals. See the CPU
Communication Ports section in chapter 3 for details. The line is terminated with an R-C network (that is, 120 Ω, 1 nF) as
described in this chapter.

When installing on a computer with Windows Server 2012, its Release 2 needs the KB2919355 update first. Follow the
instructions described in the link, which works in Internet Explorer, not Chrome.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=42334
To install the software from the DVD and using EnerVista Launchpad:
1. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive of your computer.
2. Click the Install Now button and follow the instructions.
3. When installation is complete, start the EnerVista Launchpad application.
4. Click the IED Setup section of the Launch Pad window.
Figure 3-63: Adding a UR device in Launchpad window
5. In the EnerVista Launch Pad window, click the Add Product button and select the appropriate product as follows.
Select the Web option to ensure the most recent software release, or select CD if you do not have an Internet
connection, then click the Add Now button to list software items for the product. EnerVista Launchpad obtains the
software from the Internet or DVD and automatically starts the installation program after prompting about updates.
From the web, the software is downloaded. A wizard opens.
6. In the wizard, click the Next button and complete the process. The files are installed in the directory indicated, and the
installation program automatically creates icons and adds an entry to the Windows start menu.
The UR device is added to the EnerVista Launchpad window, as shown.

7. For other than English, configure the language for the front panel in the EnerVista software under Settings > Product
Setup > Display Properties. User-entered strings are not translated, for example relay names, so setting the language
now ensures that the names are entered/displayed in the required language. For the EnerVista software language,
access the View > Language menu item.
Both network and subnet addresses are contained within a range. The number of hosts determines the class and
addresses as follows:
• Class A 255.0.0.0 — The first octet (255) specifies the network, the second to fourth octets (0) specify the subnet and
host. Use this class when you have more than 65,535 hosts (UR devices).
• Class B 255.255.0.0 — The first two octets (255) specify the network, the third octet (0) specifies the subnet, and the
fourth octet (0) specifies the host. Use this class when you have 255 to 65,534 hosts (UR devices).
• Class C 255.255.255.0 — The first three octets (255) specify the network and the last octet (0) specifies the subnet and
host. Use this class when you have up to 254 hosts (UR devices).
An example of implementation is one computer and one UR device. Because there is one UR device, class C addressing is
required. So we use UR 192.167.2.x with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and computer 192.167.3.x with subnet mask
255.255.255.0.
For older, non-CIDR routing protocols, such as RIP version 1, follow these restrictions:
• Identical subnet masks — Use a single mask for all subnets within a network
• Contiguous subnets — The subnets must be contiguous and not split among networks. The subnets cannot pass
traffic through other networks.
The IP and subnet addresses need to be added to the UR for Ethernet communication.
For serial communication, for example using any front RS232 port and the Quick Connect feature, the addresses are not
required, but typically they are entered to add/configure devices for regular use.
To add the IP addresses:
1. On the front of the UR, press the MENU key until the SETTINGS menu displays.
2. Navigate to one of the ports under SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK NETWORK PORT
PRT IP ADDRESS.
3. Enter an IP address, for example 10.11.33.01, and press the ENTER key to save the value. For example, press the period
4.
key to clear any existing address, then press the number keys to add a new address.
In the same menu, select the PRT SUBNET IP MASK setting. Enter a subnet IP address, for example 255.000.000.000 for
3
255.0.0.0. Press the ENTER key to save the value.
5. When connecting through an Ethernet network, also configure the gateway address under SETTINGS PRODUCT
SETUP COMMUNICATIONS IPv4 ROUTE TABLE DEFAULT IPv4 ROUTE GATEWAY ADDRESS. Press the ENTER key to
save the value.

2. The T35 issues a UNIT NOT PROGRAMMED major self-test error.
3. The T35 closes the critical fail contact.
The Maintenance chapter outlines how to use a settings file in the .urs format for backup and restore.
• Execution — Any EnerVista UR Setup file that is opened launches the application or provides focus to the already
opened application. If the file was a settings file (has a .urs extension) that had been removed from the Settings List
navigation menu, it is added back to the menu.
• Drag and Drop — The device settings and individual settings can be dragged and dropped between the Online and
Offline Window areas. Also, any Windows Explorer directory folder is a file drag source and drop target.
New files that are dropped into the Offline Window are added to the tree, which is automatically sorted alphabetically
with respect to settings file names. In the Online Window, files or individual menu items that are dropped in the
selected device menu are sent automatically to the online device.

There are multiple ways to navigate pages, by using the pushbuttons and the menu hierarchy. The menu hierarchy is
similar to the other front panels whereby you select a submenu using Up and Down arrow pushbuttons, and press the
ENTER or Right pushbutton. On setting pages, opening a setting for editing is done by highlighting the setting using Up and
Down pushbuttons, and pressing the ENTER or Right pushbutton.
Home page
Press the Home pushbutton to display the root page no matter the state. Any edit, control, or password entry sessions are
canceled. The header shows several relay/system status icons. The default content of the home page is the product
information page and can be user-configured to show the content of any single-line diagram page, annunciator page,
metering page, or event records page for example. The Tab pushbuttons on the bottom row each navigate to their page.
The home page displays for a user-configured time period, then scrolls through user-configured pages, a feature referred
to as rolling.
Holding the Home pushbutton for one second displays the product information page. The Home page also can display
when settings are saved.
Security indicator, showing how many people are logged in, including local and remote users. The lock is red when
one or more users are logged in and other otherwise green.
When no users are logged in because login is not required, an icon does not display.

Displays when an abnormal annunciator alarm is present. Navigate to the Annunciator for details. When there
are no such alarms, the icon does not display.
Even when you acknowledge/reset an alarm, the icon displays as long as the condition remains. For example, a
breaker trouble alarm displays, you acknowledge it, but the icon remains because the breaker trouble remains.
Active targets symbol, where targets are error messages.
View error messages by pressing the Menu Tab pushbutton, then accessing the TARGETS menu. Pressing the
RESET button clears those messages that can be.
Configure the home page in the software under Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Home Page. The menu
does not display when there is no graphical front panel.
Rolling mode
After a user-defined period of inactivity, the graphical front display rolls among up to 10 user-selected pages. The roll-to-
pages are selected in the EnerVista software, with the defaults being the product information page. Each page displays for
less than five seconds. Also, the display backlight intensity is lowered after a configurable period to a user-defined level (0,
10, 20, or 30%); lower intensity extends the life of the display.
Configure rolling mode in the software under Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Rolling Mode.
Operation works as follows:
• Press the Home pushbutton or ESCAPE pushbutton twice to cancel rolling, restore full backlight intensity, and return
to the Home page
• Press the ENTER, ESCAPE, or a pushbutton to pause rolling once and restore full backlight intensity
Rolling is disabled by setting the delay to 0.
The following buttons display at the top of the window:
• Save — Updates the connected device if online or the open setting file if offline with changes made
• Restore — Undoes changes that have not been saved
• Default — Changes all rolling mode settings to their factory default values
• Reset — Displays factory default values. Previous changes are not lost unless you save the reset window.
Single-line diagrams
4
A single-line diagram, or mimic diagram, is a line drawing of elements in an electrical system. The graphical front panel
displays up to five single-line diagrams. Each can be configured to show the arrangement of a portion of the power
system, the status of circuit breakers and of ground and disconnect switches, user-programmable pushbuttons, and
metering and status values. Each also enables control of the displayed breakers and switches when operand status
assigned to the Enable Controls from GFP setting is ON.
One diagram is provided by default, single_bus_line_dsc.mif, which can be modified.
Configure the diagrams under Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Single Line Diagram Editor.
Each single-line diagram page has a user-configurable name that appears in the header and in the footer Tab pushbutton
label. Factory default names are SLD 1 to SLD 5. Pages that have no configured content have a blank Tab pushbutton
label, and the Tab pushbutton does nothing. The label for the current page has a blue background.
The letters T, S, B, R, and X next to a controllable element have the following meaning. An example (TSB) is shown in the
next figure.
• T — The element is “tagged” (irrespective of whether it is tagged from graphical front panel or via IEC 61850). Local and
remote control of the device are inhibited, both open and close. Tripping is unaffected unless additional logic has been
configured.
• S — The position indication of the device is substituted with a manually entered value
• B — Blocking open/close command is bypassed
• R — Autoreclose is enabled and not blocked
• X — The device is out-of-service and control is not available
Under Settings > System Setup > Switches and Breakers, enable and name the six switches and two breakers. Switch 6,
M568G, has the A/3 Pole Opened setting on.
Figure 4-27: Configure Breaker and Switch settings
In the EnerVista software, open the single-line diagram editor under Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Single
Line Diagram Editor.
Add the four switches for the top line by clicking the GE switch symbol in the toolbar, then clicking in the window. (If the UR
device is not online, the software attempts to connect.) Right-click to edit properties. Rotate switches SW569 and SW5682
to 270 degrees. Rotate switches 5681 and SW523 to 90 degrees. Ignore the TSB text.
Next is to close circuit breaker CB523. This circuit breaker is shown at the top right of the figure. A vertical line means that
it is open, and the color can be set as red or green.
On the graphical front panel, press the Home pushbutton, then press the SLDs pushbutton to activate the first single-line
4 diagram page.
Figure 4-28: Single-line diagram on graphical front panel
Press the Enable Control pushbutton, which displays when the Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Home Page
> Enable Controls From GFP setting is configured and its FlexLogic operand is ON. The side pushbutton labels display.
Press the pushbutton to close the breaker, confirming the action at the prompt.
If at the prompt the control action is prevented this is because status of the operand assigned to the Enable
Controls From GFP setting has changed back to OFF before confirming the prompt action. As a result, the
command is not issued, and the screen goes to the top SLD page.
In this diagram, the two circuit breakers have hard-coded actions available to them. No action is possible on the switches.
Note the USER PB 9 and 10 entries in the earlier figure. As outlined later, these are activated by clicking the PB icon on the
software toolbar. These two pushbuttons can be configured under Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable
Pushbuttons.
When a breaker is tagged, the letter T displays under the breaker in the diagram. The Tag pushbutton shown toggles to
Remove Tag.
Lines
4 Line components represent power system buses or electrical connections between power system elements. They can also
be used as visual dividers and underline.
To add a line component, click it in the toolbox, then click in the window. Double-click a line to open its properties window
to set orientation.
Figure 4-31: Line and bus crossover symbols
Static symbols
Static symbols depicting power system elements are available. For information, see the ANSI/IEEE 315A and IEC 60617
standards.
Up to 32 static symbols can be used per single-line diagram.
To add a symbol, click it in the toolbox, then click in the window. Double-click the symbol to open its properties window to
set orientation.
To add a breaker or disconnect component, click it in the toolbox, then click in the window. Up to 10 dynamic components
can be added to each single-line diagram.
Breaker and disconnect components have three different parts: label, symbol, and flags. Drag each of its parts to their final
locations. Double or right-click any of these parts to open the properties window. Properties that can be edited are label
text, breaker control element or disconnect switch element number, symbol orientation (horizontal or vertical), color
scheme (red - closed, or red - open), and assigned side button (if any). If the selected breaker or disconnect element does
not exist in the target relay or has not been enabled, then the component is displayed in the graphical front panel and in
the drawing edit window in grey. The color scheme selection has no effect when an IEC style symbol is used because IEC
style symbols do not use color.
Symbol orientation
The figure shows the orientation available for the breaker and disconnect switch (taking Open status as examples). The
default position is 0 degrees.
Figure 4-34: Single-line diagram symbol orientation
A question mark displays in a symbol on the graphical front panel when status is bad. The question mark does not rotate
with orientation.
Figure 4-35: Symbols when status is bad
The following figures show the orientation available for the static components. The default position is 0 degrees.
User-programmable pushbuttons
User-programmable pushbuttons 1 to 8 are physical pushbuttons on the right side of the graphical front panel, numbering
down the two columns.
Any remaining user-programmable pushbuttons are programmed among the 10 pushbuttons on the left and right sides of
the screen display. They show dynamically and provide a means to perform the same control as the other pushbuttons.
4 As an example, if you set up a single-line diagram with two breakers and six switches, then eight of the side pushbuttons
are used automatically for control of the breakers and switches. Side pushbuttons 9 and 10 are available. In the single-line
diagram, let us set side pushbutton 9 to clear event records as follows:
• Show side pushbutton 9 on the graphical front panel — Click the PB symbol in the toolbar, then set Side button 9 to
pushbutton 9 in the drop-down list. This pushbutton then displays when appropriate on the right side of the screen
display.
• Program event record clearing — Set Settings > Product Setup > Clear Relay Records > Clear Event Records to
FlexLogic operand PUSHBUTTON 9 ON
• Program pushbutton 9 — Set Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable Pushbuttons > Pushbutton 9
Function to "Self-reset." When pressed, pushbutton 9 clears the event records.
To instead set the second user pushbutton (not a side pushbutton) to clear events, follow the second and third bullet
points, selecting settings of PUSHBUTTON 2 ON and Pushbutton 2.
Metering components
Metering components show dynamically the value of a FlexAnalog operand or actual value. Up to 16 metering
components can be added to each single-line diagram.
To add a metering component, click the M symbol in the toolbox, then click in the window. Drag it to its final location.
Double-click it to open the properties window. The figure shows the properties that can be edited.
Status components
Status components show dynamically the value of a FlexLogic operand. Up to 16 can be used in a diagram and 30 in all
single-line diagrams.
An example is to show the Off or On state of the ANY MAJOR ERROR FlexLogic operand. The name of the operand
displays in the single-line diagram editor, then as Off or On on the graphical front panel.
To add a status component, click the S symbol in the toolbox, then click in the window. Drag it to its final location. Double-
click it to open the properties window. Properties that can be edited include parameter (any FlexLogic operand), text color
background color, and on and off text.
Optionally add a text label to display beside the status.
Text
Text components show a single line of user-configured text.
Up to 16 text components can be used per single-line diagram.
To add a text component, click the T symbol in the toolbox, then click in the window. Drag it to its final location. Double-
click it to open the properties window. Properties that can be edited are text, color, and size.
Annunciator
An annunciator is a grid of small windows for alarms, actual values, self-test messages, and product information.
The graphical front panel emulates a conventional annunciator panel. The annunciator has 96 windows, each with a
description of the alarm condition that lights the window. The windows are arranged in rows and columns of 3 x 4, 4 x 6, or
6 x 8 over several pages. Each window can have up to three lines of configurable text, and one line can instead be a
metered value. Normally the window background is dark, and when the configured FlexLogic operand becomes On, the
window lights up.
The figure shows that two alarms are active. One alarm is configured red and the other alarm is configured blue. The red
alarm type is Self Reset, so the alarm displays in a solid color. The blue alarm type is Acknowledgeable, so the alarm flashes
until it is acknowledged, for example by navigating with the arrow keys and pressing the ENTER button. The alarm then
remains blue until the trigger condition is eliminated.
To display the annunciator, press the Home pushbutton, then the Annunciator Tab pushbutton. If there is one or more
4 window in alarm or requiring reset, the annunciator page showing the first of these opens. Otherwise the first annunciator
page opens.
Alarms do not display automatically. Set the Home page and/or rolling pages to display annunciator pages.
The Tab pushbutton labels populate with the annunciator pages. The label text for each annunciator page is configurable
and displays in the header and Tab label. The current page has a blue Tab label. Tab labels for annunciator pages that
have an active window (that is, on, latched, or unacknowledged) are red. Pages where alarms are not triggered have a grey
Tab label. Pages that have no configured windows do not have Tab pushbuttons and do not display.
The Up, Down, Left, and Right pushbuttons cause the selection to move one window in the indicated direction. Pressing the
Right pushbutton past the last window in a row scrolls the display to any next annunciator page, not the next row. The
behavior is similar for the other pushbuttons, for example pressing the Up pushbutton while in the top row goes to any
previous page. If no previous page exists, no action occurs.
Annunciator windows are positioned statically, so that all windows are visible no matter their state.
Alarm types of each window can be configured as Self Reset, Latched, or Acknowledgeable. In Self Reset mode, the
window lighting follows the state of the configured FlexLogic operand. The self-reset mode alarm sequence conforms to
ISA-18.1-1979 (R2004) standard type A 4 5 6.

An alarm remains in an alarm state (for example, displays red) when the condition remains. That is, if you acknowledged a
flashing alarm but the alarm condition remains, the background color remains red.
The SETTINGS > INPUTS/OUTPUTS > RESETTING > RESET ANNUNCIATOR setting can be used to select a FlexLogic
operand that when activated acknowledges/resets all annunciator windows.
Annunciator editor
The annunciator editor is used to configure alarms and actual value displays for the graphical front panel.
The path in the EnerVista software is Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Annunciator Editor.
The figure shows the annunciator editor and its preview window. The page name is entered as General at the top right.
Acknowledgeable and self-resetting alarms are set for basic functions, such as online/offline, Ethernet ports, unauthorized
access/failed logins, and battery failure. The text to display in the annunciator window is entered. The IN SERVICE LED is set
to be green because when the device is on, this LED is green. The preview shows what the annunciator looks like with all
alarms triggered. The last window is not configured and displays blank/grey. In order for the Ethernet and battery alarms
to work, the corresponding self-test alarms have been enabled under Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable
Self Tests (not shown). The LEDs can be viewed on the front panel, so adding them to the annunciator is for illustrative
purposes only.
The three page layouts (3 × 4, 4 × 6, and 6 × 8) select the number of rows x columns of windows that appear in a page.
Annunciator window size and text size shrink as the number of annunciator windows in a page increases.
Properties that can be edited include alarm type (acknowledgeable, latched, self-reset), alarm input (any FlexLogic
operand), text color, and alarm background color.
The following buttons display at the top of the window:
• Save — Updates the connected device if online or the open setting file if offline with changes made
• Restore — Undoes changes that have not been saved
• Default — Changes all annunciator settings to their factory default values
• Reset — Displays factory default values. Previous settings are not lost unless you save the reset window.
Metering editor
The metering editor is an actual values display tool. It creates pages of actual values for the graphical front panel. There
are two types: tables and phasor diagrams. Tabular actual values pages have settings to configure, while phasor actual
values pages have no settings. Five tabular metering pages can be configured, while there can be a phasor page for each
configured AC source. They display on the graphical front panel using the Metering Tab pushbutton.
The path to the editor is Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Metering Editor.
Figure 4-45: Metering editor with preview window

The inputs are selected at the top. Select from the drop-down list or start typing in the field.
The page, page name, and grid layout are set below the inputs.
Content to display is configured with the cell lines. The content can be actual values, a status indicator, or text.
• Actual value — Select from the FlexAnalogs applicable to the T35, where a FlexAnalog is an analog parameter
• Status — Select from the FlexLogic operands identified in the Status Inputs at the top of the window. An example is to
display text to indicate whether the BATTERY FAIL operand is on or off.
• Text — Enter text to display in the table, for example name of table or column heading
If the metering input is other than OFF, the value of the selected metering input displays, formatted according to the size,
text color, units, multiplier, and decimal configuration. Otherwise either the Text or the Off Text displays depending on the
value of the operand selected by setting Status Input/Index.
A maximum of eight Status Inputs/Indexes can be used per metering page and 16 in all metering pages.
The following buttons display at the top of the window:
• Save — Updates the connected device if online or the open setting file if offline with changes made
• Restore — Undoes changes that have not been saved
• Default — Changes all actual value settings to their factory default values
• Reset — Displays factory default values. Previous settings are not lost unless you save the reset window.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Configurable Navigation.
The settings consist of 64 field pairs, each with a condition and an activation page. The condition selects any FlexLogic
operand. The activation page selection is the standard set, such as product information, event records, annunciator pages,
and single-line diagrams.
To use the feature, select a CONDITION, select its ACTIVATE PAGE option, then save. When selecting the condition
operand, open the drop-down list and start typing in the field to auto-fill. For example, typing F displays FIRST ETHERNET
FAIL.

Up/Down/Left/Right — These pushbuttons move the selector among the options on a page. The selection is
indicated by a yellow background or a yellow border. On menu pages, the Right pushbutton activates the selected
submenu drilling down the menu hierarchy, and the Left pushbutton backs up the menu hierarchy. These
pushbuttons have a typematic feature on some pages: after a short pause, the pushbutton repeats as long as it is
pressed.
ENTER — Activates the selection on the display, for example a submenu, a control, a keypad key, or a setting. Also
stores updated settings.
ESCAPE — If a setting is open for edit, this pushbutton closes the setting without saving. If an item is selected, this
pushbutton deselects it. Otherwise this pushbutton activates the previous page in the page hierarchy.
RESET — Clears all latched LED indications and target messages. When a page with acknowledgeable/resettable
items is displayed, it instead resets/acknowledges all items on that page, or if an item on that page is selected, it
resets/acknowledges that item.
If you reset/acknowledge alarms, they stop flashing but remain in the alarm state as long as that state remains. In
other words, a red alarm does not switch off just because you acknowledged the alarm.
Home — Activates the home page, which is the root page. The page displays product information by default and
is configurable.
Side pushbutton — Five pushbuttons on the left side of the display and five pushbuttons on the right side of the
display. They perform various functions depending on the displayed page, such as switchgear controls. The
display dynamically shows its label next to each side pushbutton when the pushbutton has an assigned function.
These pushbuttons can also be programmed to function as user-programmable pushbuttons 9 and above.
Tab pushbutton — Five pushbuttons under the display. They navigate through the page hierarchy, and on some
pages activate other actions. The display footer dynamically labels the page or action that is activated by the Tab
pushbutton.
User-programmable pushbutton — Eight physical pushbuttons are associated with the first eight user-
4 programmable pushbutton elements. Numbering is down, that is, 1 to 4 down the left column and 5 to 8 down the
right column.
These elements control a set of FlexLogic operands that can be used to initiate outputs or select modes. Each
physical pushbutton has an integrated LED indicator that can be user-configured to display the appropriate
status.
These pushbuttons have clear covers behind which custom labels can be mounted. A utility is available to print
the labels, under File > Front Panel Report in the software.

• IN SERVICE — Indicates that control power is applied, all monitored inputs/outputs and internal systems are fine, and
the relay is in (online) Programmed mode (under Settings > Product Setup > Installation)
• TROUBLE — Indicates that the relay has detected an internal problem. Check the self-test messages outlined at the
end of the Commands and Targets chapter, and view the event records under Actual Values > Records. For a beta /
pre-release, this LED is always on.
• TEST MODE — Indicates that the relay is in test mode. For information, see the Testing section in the Settings chapter.
• TRIP — Indicates that the selected FlexLogic operand serving as a trip input has operated. Set the operand under
Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable LEDs > Trip & Alarm LEDs. This indicator latches; initiate the reset
command to reset the latch.
• ALARM — Indicates that the FlexLogic operand serving as an alarm switch has operated. Set the operand under
Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable LEDs > Trip & Alarm LEDs. This indicator never latches.
• PICKUP — Indicates that an element is picked up. This indicator never latches.
The event-cause indicators in the first column are as follows.
Event-cause LEDs are below the status LEDs. They are turned on or off by protection elements that have their respective
target setting selected as either “Enabled” or “Latched.” If a protection element target setting is “Enabled,” then the
corresponding event-cause LEDs remain on as long as the operand associated with the element remains asserted. If a
protection element target setting is “Latched,” then the corresponding event-cause LEDs turn on when the operate
operand associated with the element is asserted and remains on until the RESET button on the front panel is pressed after
the operand is reset. 4
All elements that are able to discriminate faulted phases can independently turn off or on the phase A, B, or C LEDs. This
includes phase instantaneous overcurrent, phase undervoltage, and so on. This means that the phase A, B, and C operate
operands for individual protection elements are ORed to turn on or off the phase A, B, or C LEDs.
• VOLTAGE — This LED indicates voltage was involved
• CURRENT — This LED indicates current was involved
• FREQUENCY — This LED indicates frequency was involved
• OTHER — This LED indicates a composite function that is not solely current, voltage, or frequency based (distance or
power for example) or a control function (digital element or trip bus for example)
• PHASE A — This LED indicates phase A was involved
• PHASE B — This LED indicates phase B was involved
• PHASE C — This LED indicates phase C was involved
• NEUTRAL/GROUND — This LED indicates that neutral or ground was involved
The user-programmable LEDs consist of 48 amber LED indicators in four columns. The operation of these LEDs is user-
defined. Support for applying a customized label beside every LED is provided. Default labels are shipped in the label
package of every T35, together with custom templates. The default labels can be replaced by user-printed labels.
User customization of LED operation is of maximum benefit in installations where languages other than English are used
to communicate with operators. See the User-Programmable LEDs section in chapter 5 for the settings used to program
the operation of the LEDs on these panels.
Status indicators
• IN SERVICE — Indicates that control power is applied, all monitored inputs/outputs and internal systems are fine, and
the relay is in (online) Programmed mode (under Settings > Product Setup > Installation)
4 • TROUBLE — Indicates that the relay has detected an internal problem. Check the self-test messages outlined at the
end of the Commands and Targets chapter, and view the event records under Actual Values > Records. For a beta /
pre-release, this LED is always on.
• TEST MODE — Indicates that the relay is in test mode. For information, see the Testing section in the Settings chapter.
• TRIP — Indicates that the selected FlexLogic operand serving as a trip switch has operated. This indicator always
latches; initiate the reset command to reset the latch.
• ALARM — Indicates that the selected FlexLogic operand serving as an alarm switch has operated. This indicator never
latches.
• PICKUP — Indicates that an element is picked up. This indicator never latches.
Event-cause indicators
Event-cause LEDs are turned on or off by protection elements that have their respective target setting selected as either
“Enabled” or “Latched.” If a protection element target setting is “Enabled,” then the corresponding event cause LEDs
remain on as long as the operand associated with the element remains asserted. If a protection element target setting is
“Latched,” then the corresponding event cause LEDs turn on when the operate operand associated with the element is
asserted and remains on until the RESET button on the front panel is pressed after the operand is reset.
All elements that are able to discriminate faulted phases can independently turn off or on the phase A, B, or C LEDs. This
includes phase instantaneous overcurrent, phase undervoltage, and so on. This means that the phase A, B, and C operate
operands for individual protection elements are ORed to turn on or off the phase A, B, or C LEDs.
• VOLTAGE — Indicates voltage was involved
• CURRENT — Indicates current was involved
• FREQUENCY — Indicates frequency was involved
• OTHER — Indicates a composite function that is not solely current, voltage, or frequency based (distance or power for
example) or a control function (digital element or trip bus for example)
• PHASE A — Indicates phase A was involved
• PHASE B — Indicates phase B was involved
• PHASE C — Indicates phase C was involved
• NEUTRAL/GROUND — Indicates that neutral or ground was involved
User-programmable indicators
The second and third panels provide 48 amber LED indicators whose operation is controlled by the user. Custom labeling
can be done.
User customization of LED operation is of maximum benefit in installations where languages other than English are used
to communicate with operators. See the User-programmable LEDs section in chapter 5 for the settings used to program
the operation of the LEDs on these panels.

After programming LEDs and pushbuttons under Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable Leds and User-
Programmable Pushbuttons, labels can be created for the front panel.
To create LED and pushbutton labels for a basic front panel:
1. In the EnerVista software, if the T35 is not already listed in the Offline Window area, add it by right-clicking it and
selecting the Add Device to Offline Window option.
2. Click the File > Front Panel Report menu item and select the device.
3. In the Front Panel Report window, double-click an LED or pushbutton slot and type a label. If you need to see the
existing front panel remotely, access Actual Values > Front Panel for the online device. If you need to see the In the
figure, note that labeling is being done for the third set of LEDs because the second panel of LEDs was factory-labeled.

4. Optionally save the changes by clicking the Save icon on the toolbar.
5. Click the Print icon on the toolbar. Consider printing to PDF format and adjusting the zoom for appropriate label size,
then print on a physical printer.
6. Cut labels as a block or individually, for example with scissors or an Exacto knife.
7. If there is a plastic cover over the front panel, remove it by gently pushing in on the right side and lifting off the cover.
8. Remove the plastic cover over the LEDs or pushbutton(s) using a screw driver.
9. Insert the labels.
10. Re-attach the plastic covers.

Numerical data
Each numerical setting has its own minimum, maximum, and increment value associated with it. These parameters define
what values are acceptable for a setting.
FLASH MESSAGE For example, select the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH
TIME: 10.0 s MESSAGE TIME setting.
MINIMUM: 0.5 Press the HELP key to view the minimum and maximum values. Press the key again to view the
MAXIMUM: 10.0 next context sensitive help message.
Two methods of editing and storing a numerical setting value are available.
• 0 to 9 and decimal point — The relay numeric keypad works the same as a calculator. A number is entered one digit at
a time. The leftmost digit is entered first and the rightmost digit is entered last. Pressing the MESSAGE left arrow or
pressing the ESCAPE key, returns the original value to the display.
• VALUE keys — The VALUE up arrow increments the displayed value by the step value, up to the maximum value
allowed. While at the maximum value, pressing the VALUE up arrow again allows the setting selection to continue
upward from the minimum value. The VALUE down arrow decrements the displayed value by the step value, down to
the minimum value. While at the minimum value, pressing the VALUE down arrow again allows the setting selection to
continue downward from the maximum value.
FLASH MESSAGE As an example, set the flash message time setting to 2.5 seconds. Press the appropriate numeric
TIME: 2.5 s keys in the sequence “2 . 5". The display message changes as the digits are being entered.
NEW SETTING Until ENTER is pressed, editing changes are not registered by the relay. Press ENTER to store the
HAS BEEN STORED new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears as confirmation of the storing
process. Numerical values that contain decimal places are rounded-off if more decimal place digits
are entered than specified by the step value.
Enumeration data
Enumeration settings have data values that are part of a set, whose members are explicitly defined by a name. A set has
two or more members.
ACCESS LEVEL: For example, the selections available for ACCESS LEVEL are "Restricted," "Command," "Setting," and
Restricted "Factory Service."
Enumeration type values are changed using the VALUE keys. The VALUE up arrow displays the next selection while the
VALUE down arrow displays the previous selection.
ACCESS LEVEL: If the ACCESS LEVEL needs to be "Setting," press the VALUE keys until the proper selection displays.
Setting Press HELP at any time for the context sensitive help messages.
NEW SETTING Changes are not registered by the relay until the ENTER key is pressed. Pressing ENTER stores the
HAS BEEN STORED new value in memory. This flash message momentarily appears as confirmation.
4 Alphanumeric text
Text settings have data values that are fixed in length, but user-defined in characters. They can be upper-case letters,
lower-case letters, numerals, and a selection of special characters.
There are several places where text messages can be programmed to allow the relay to be customized for specific
applications. One example is the Message Scratchpad. Use the following procedure to enter alphanumeric text messages.
For example, enter the text “Breaker #1”.
1. Press the decimal point to enter text edit mode.
2. Press the VALUE keys until the character 'B' appears; press the decimal key to advance the cursor to the next position.
3. Repeat step 2 for the remaining characters: r,e,a,k,e,r, ,#,1.
4. Press ENTER to store the text.
5. If you have any problem, press HELP to view context sensitive help. Flash messages appear sequentially for several
seconds each. For the case of a text setting message, pressing HELP displays how to edit and store new values.
Numerical data
This example outlines how to change the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting. Flash messages are status, warning, error, and
information messages displayed in response to certain key presses during settings programming. An example is a
confirmation message upon saving settings. This setting specifies how long to display the message.
Press the Menu pushbutton to display the main menu.
Use the Up or Down pushbutton to select SETTINGS, then press the Right or ENTER pushbutton.
Figure 4-58: Settings menu 4
Use the Up or Down pushbutton to select DISPLAY PROPERTIES, then press the Right or ENTER pushbutton.
4 Figure 4-60: Display Properties menu
Use the Up or Down pushbutton to select FLASH MESSAGE TIME, then press the Right or ENTER pushbutton. If the relay is
configured to require login to edit settings, and the user is not already logged in, the login page displays. When the user
has successfully logged in, the setting is opened for edit. As the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting accepts a numerical value, a
keypad displays. The time is to be changed to 4.0 seconds.
The current setting displays. A flashing cursor line marks the insertion point, initially positioned after the last character of
the setting. The setting range displays under the text.
Press the <-- Move Cursor and Move Cursor --> Tab pushbuttons to move the insertion point. Place it after the 2.
Press the Backspace Tab pushbutton to remove the character to the left of the cursor, in this case the 2.
Using the arrow keys, enter another time, for example 4 for four seconds. These Up, Down, Left, and Right pushbuttons
move the keypad key selector. Pressing the ENTER pushbutton with the - key selected inverts the sign. Pressing the ENTER
pushbutton with the decimal point selected enters that character at the insertion point. Push ENTER now to accept the 4.
Press the Save Tab pushbutton, which does a range check on the value, saves the setting when valid, closes the page, and
displays the previous page.
4
When a setting is not saved due to an invalid value, a message flashes, for example being out of range. In cases where the
relay needs to be restarted for settings to take effect, the flash message advises.
Setting entry can be canceled without impact on the original value by pressing the ESCAPE or Home pushbutton.
Alphanumeric text
Settings that accept alphanumeric values display a keyboard. An example is a pushbutton name.
The &123 key toggles between text and numbers.
The shift key (up arrow on keyboard) is green upon activation, while the keyboard letters switch to upper case. Double-click
the shift key to lock capital lettering, or full capitals.
The globe key (shown greyed-out) toggles the keyboard language between English and another display language selected,
for example between English and French. (The second language needs to be activated under Settings > Product Setup >
Display Properties.)
For Japanese and Chinese, up to 10 characters can be input in a field, not 20.
To add accents, highlight a key and hold the ENTER pushbutton on the graphical front panel. Any special characters
associated with the key display.
To avoid conflict with XML programming, do not enter the following characters on the Annunciator and Metering editor
panels: " (quotation mark), ' (apostrophe), < (less than), > (greater than), & (ampersand). When used, the text following the
character does not display or the Annunciator and Metering panels do not display on the graphical front panel.
The configurable name displays in the header and Tab pushbutton label. Factory default names are Page 1, Page 2, and so 4
on.

EnerVista Engineer is only available through the offline window of the EnerVista UR Setup.
FlexLogic Equation Editor and Logic Designer are designed to be mutually exclusive as using them interchangeably
to create, edit and maintain the FlexLogic equations may cause inconsistencies in the resulting equations. The user
is recommended to use only one of the two methods throughout the process.
Parts of EnerVista Viewpoint Engineer software are integrated in the EnerVista UR Setup software. Engineer can be used to
create and modify FlexLogic that is used by a device, such as to monitor output, monitor triggers, and create self-tests.
Features include
• Automatically displays existing FlexLogic
• Drag-and-drop interface
• Open multiple tabs and edit simultaneously
• Display symbols in IEC, ISO, or UR formats
• Export a diagram as BMP file or copy it to the clipboard for import into other applications
• Scale and print files in various paper sizes
• Works with all UR firmware versions
The figure shows an example where several inputs are used to trigger an output. With the OR function, any one of the
inputs can trigger the output.
• Toolbars
4 4.4.1.1 Examples
The symbols are displayed in the UR format.
Preparation — Under Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Virtual Outputs, the first and second virtual outputs are named
OscTrigger
Top logic — Three-minute timer trigger
Bottom logic — Turn on LED 1 for 10 seconds when the trigger starts
Preparation — Under Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Virtual Outputs, virtual outputs 3 and 4 are named DLTrigger
Top logic — Seven-minute timer trigger
Bottom logic — Turn on LED 9 for 10 seconds when the trigger starts
Preparation — Under Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Virtual Outputs, virtual output 5 is named EVStart, 6 is named
EVTriggered, and 7 is named EVMakeEvent 4
Top logic — One-minute timer trigger
Middle logic — Turn on LED 17 for 10 seconds when trigger starts
Bottom logic — Create events at 100 ms intervals for the same 10 second period
FlexLogic Equation Editor and Logic Designer are designed to be mutually exclusive as using them interchangeably
to create, edit and maintain the FlexLogic equations may cause inconsistencies in the resulting equations. The user
is recommended to use only one of the two methods throughout the process.
To create a logic diagram using existing FlexLogic equations:
1. In the Offline Window area, modify the FlexLogic for the device under FlexLogic > FlexLogic Equation Editor. If the
device is not listed, right-click the device in the Online Window area and select the Add Device to Offline Window
option.
Upon saving the modified FlexLogic, a yellow icon appears for the device in the Offline Window area to indicate that
the logic differs from the Online device.
2. In the Offline Window area, access Engineer for the device, then Logic Designer. The logic opens.
3. Click the Edit > Auto Populate Workbook menu item. If the software prompts if you want to keep or discard existing
sheets, either is acceptable, with the older excluded sheeted being denoted by brackets, such as < Sheet 1 >. The logic
displays in the various tabs. The FlexLogic created in the equation editor appears in Sheet 1, for example.
4 A default block diagram opens that shows 48 inputs (boxes) and 48 user-programmable LEDs (circles).
For the graphical front panel, no LEDs can be added to the window and the LEDs are removed when opening any
existing files. For these existing files with the LEDs removed, save the file without them.
Figure 4-71: Default view of FlexLogic designer
2. Optionally delete the default logic diagram by right-clicking its tab at the bottom of the window and selecting Delete.
3. To add a blank sheet, click Edit > Add Sheet. A new tab displays. Or use the last tab displayed, which is a blank sheet.
4. Optionally right-click the new tab and Rename it.
5. Add the input blocks to the logic diagram. For example, click the I/O Tokens tab on the right, click the Input element,
7. Add the output blocks to the logic diagram. For example, click the I/O Tokens tab, click the Virtual Output element, 4
then click in the logic sheet to add it. Double-click the block on the sheet to configure it. For the name, make it unique.
The figure shows virtual output 61 is being added, with a suffix of "io" added to the name to make it unique. Note that
the outline color of a block is red until it is configured, and that this properties window varies by block and the
selectable options by order code.
Figure 4-73: Configuring an output block
8. Connect the input blocks to the output blocks by drawing a line as follows. Click at the end of one block and drag the
line to the next block. Or click the Drawing Tools tab, then select the Line option. The cursor needs to be at the
connection point to end the line, not elsewhere on the block. Note that the outline color is no longer red on the blocks.
9. Add any remaining blocks or information. Right-click a block to copy and paste it. Notes are as follows.
Add a text box — Drawing Tools > Text
Add a FlexElement — Elements > FlexElement. An analog input is expected where a small arrow head shows in the
box.
Figure 4-75: FlexElement accepts analog inputs on left side where arrow heads display
Add an Element — Elements tab. Available elements reflect the product, for example the Control Elements category.
Figure 4-76: Elements reflect Control Elements
10. Check for any blocks that have a red outline. These are invalid. Fix them before continuing, for example by configuring
them.
11. Compile the logic diagram to check for errors by clicking the Compile button at the bottom left or by pressing the F7
key.
If prompted about a message about sorting, click Yes to apply the default (for this example), which can be automatic
sorting based on an algorithm that applies fastest execution time.
With successful compiling, the file is saved and the FlexLogic equations populate automatically. Scroll up through the
compile messages, with the red errors being the only messages that require fixing before proceeding.
The figure shows that we forgot to add the "Io" suffix to the names of virtual outputs 62 and 63, as indicated by
"Warning: Virtual output xx using default name." This warning is a minor warning.
The warning "input using disabled feature" means that input needs to be enabled. Double-click the block, click the
View Associated Screen button, enable the setting, save, and recompile.
The output and messages are explained in the next section.
Some information displayed in the compile messages updates automatically, for example messages after a device is
unplugged.
Figure 4-77: Compile and check the logic
12. View the FlexLogic equations by navigating in the Offline Window area to FlexLogic > FlexLogic Equation Editor. The
window opens with the entries displayed in the next tab.
Figure 4-78: Logic displayed in FlexLogic Equation Editor

When the Update SCL files option is selected, the CID and IID files in the device folder are updated by the user
configuration in the IEC 61850 panel and thereby become synchronized. The CID file and the IID file (depending on the
preference 'Do not update IID file when updating SCL files') are updated. If the CID file is not already there, it is generated.
The location of these files is C:\ProgramData\GE Power Management\urpc, for example, in the Offline and Online folders.
Any FlexLogic equations entered in the Offline Window area are erased. The logic drawn in the Logic Designer window in
Engineer in the Offline Window area remain. The warning icon disappears after updating.
The following information is contained in the compile window.
Figure 4-80: Compiled results
Number of Lines Saved — The number of compiled logic lines eliminated by using the optimization algorithm, as set in the
Optimize Compiled Output option of the Preferences. In the example shown, no lines were saved because the optimizer is
disabled.
FlexLogic Lines — The number of lines that the compiled logic uses, for example seven of 512 available.
Virtual Output equations — The number of FlexLogic equations used in the Logic Designer window.
Timers used — The number of timers used in the Logic Designer window.
Memory Used — The percent of memory used in the Logic Designer window.

6. Save the work.
First, when automatic sorting is not enabled, the sequence in which the blocks were drawn is followed.
Second, the order in which equations are executed can be manually changed, as outlined here.
Third, automatic sorting can be set in preferences, as outlined here. It is enabled by default and means that an algorithm is
implemented to give best results and quickest performance, For example, the block with the fastest execution time is
entered first in the FlexLogic. When two block functions have the same execution time the block drawn first displays first in
the FlexLogic. For example, drawing input 61 to output 61, then input 62 to output 62 causes the input/output 61 to be
entered into the FlexLogic first. Automatic sorting takes precedence over manual sort; if you enable this option, manual
sorting is not implemented.
To manually change logic order:
1. In the compile area, click the VO Order tab.
2. If the window is blank, click the Refresh button.
3. Select an entry and click the up or down arrow. To cancel any manual changes, click the Sort or Refresh button.
4. Recompile. The change is not executed or saved if automatic sorting is enabled.

You can also select an element from the drop-down list on the toolbar. It is then highlighted in the logic diagram.
To print labels:
1. In the Front Panel Report window, double-click an LED or pushbutton and enter text.
2. To print the labels, click the Print icon on the toolbar.
3. To save the report and labels, click File > Save As, enter a file name, and select the FPR, JPG, or PDF format.
4. Use the instructions in the second tab of the window to add the labels to the physical device.
4.4.6 Preferences
Preferences determine functionality. As such, you are encouraged to review them. This section outlines some options
available in the menus and preference panels.
Access them in the Logic Designer panel under the View menu and under File > Preferences. The Logic Designer and
Logic Monitor preferences are outlined here, not all preferences for a device.
Workbook Setup
WorkBook
Print Scale — The scale for logic diagram when printing. Scaling a large diagram to 200 percent, for example, results in the
diagram being cut off.
Orphan Protection — When enabled, the printing output prevents Virtual Output circuits from spanning more than a single
page. The largest Virtual Output circuit is scaled to fit on a single page and all remaining Virtual Output circuits are scaled
so that all circuits are printed using the same scale.
Show Title Block — When enabled, places an information box at the bottom right of the diagram when printing. Enter the
information in the File Information panel.
Show Sheet Name — When enabled, shows Sheet 1, Sheet 2, or any other name at the top of the logic diagram when
printing.
Start Sheet On New Page — Places the sheet on the next page when printing.
4 Show Notes Selection — When other than None, prints the text from any information notes added to the document (under
Drawing Tools tab > Note). The text is printed after the logic diagram.
File Information
The text entered here displays at the bottom right of a diagram when printing, provided that the Show Title Block option is
enabled. Note the option to change the logo from the GE logo to your company logo.
Display
The panel sets how the element boxes display. The figure shows how an AND gate displays when the UR default, IEC, or
ISO symbol type is selected.
Figure 4-91: AND gate varies by standard selected
Symbol Style — IEC, ISO, UR Setup — Sets how the gates display in the logic diagram.
Symbol Color — When set to Black & White, only logic blocks with issues continue to display red.
Zoom Operation — Determines what happens when the View > Zoom functions are used. When set to Sheet Only and the
zoom is changed, the single tab changes. When set to Workbook, all tabs change.
Editor
Repeat Symbol — Enable this feature to add element blocks rapidly in sequence, for example when you have inputs 1 to
10, without having to select the element each time. Select the element block from the toolbox, click the diagram, then
continue to click to add additional blocks.
Use first available VO / Timer — When enabled and you copy and paste a virtual output or timer element, the numbering
continues in sequence. For example, you copy timer 5 and paste it as timer 6. When disabled and you copy and paste a
virtual output or timer element, the same number is used. For example, you copy timer 5 and paste it as timer 5.
Auto-Save Logic Designer every x minutes — Logic diagrams with changes are saved automatically according to this
interval. The range is 5 minutes (default) to 30 minutes. With auto-save, the file extension of the saved file is .auto. This file
remains until you save the file manually.
Auto Populate
These options work in the Edit > Auto Populate Workbook function.
VOs per Worksheet — When an existing settings file is opened in the Logic Designer, the Logic Designer populates the
canvas and attempts to evenly distribute the Virtual Output circuits across multiple sheets. A value of 100 in this setting
places all FlexLogic equations on a single sheet until there are 100, then the next ones are placed on another sheet. A value
of 1 places each Virtual Output circuit on a separate sheet.
Show / FlexLogic Merge / Show Unused — If Show Contact Outputs and Show LEDs are selected, for example, the function
places Contact Output and User-programmable LED symbols for settings that are configured. If you disable the LED check
boxes, then the LED tab/sheet does not display when you next open the Logic Designer window. The settings apply to all
products, not just the active window when it is next opened. Close then reopen the Logic Designer window for the setting
to take effect.
Compiler
Show Warnings — Options to filter the messages that display when logic compiles.
Minor — Enable to display minor errors. An example is using the default values of an element added to the diagram, such
as the name of the element. An example is "Warning: Virtual output xx using default name," for which you simply click into
the element to rename it.
Major — Enable to display major errors. Examples are an input that does not have a corresponding output, using disabled
features, and failing to connect a symbol. Fix these errors.
4
Setting — Enable to display error message related to settings, such as an improperly configured setting, such as using ON
or OFF.
Automatically Sort VOs — When enabled, the logic is compiled with an algorithm to give best results and quickest
performance, for example the fastest logic first. The fastest logic displays in the FlexLogic Equation Editor output as the
first entries in the table. Use sorting when virtual outputs have dependencies on other virtual outputs. This setting takes
precedence over order set manually in the VO Order tab in the compiler.
When disabled, the sequence in which the blocks were drawn is followed.
Optimize Compiled Output — Not applicable. Use the check box outlined earlier in the Optimize the Logic section.
Display
The software displays the color specified when an element is on. There is no color when the element is off.
The software displays another color when the status cannot be determined and is unknown.
Timing
Timing Information can be displayed in the monitoring window. This timing information is only an approximate
representation of how Engineer sees transitions. Use the device's Event Record to view accurate timing information.
The timing information can also be streamed to a comma-separated values (CSV) spreadsheet.
The timing information displayed and recorded can be filtered based on six categories. If a category is not selected, any
timing information related to that category does not display and is not recorded to the CSV file.
Show Timing Information in Output Window — Enable to display times in the monitoring window.
Because of the update rate of the Logic Monitoring, the timing information cannot be used as an accurate representation
of the events that occur within the relay. Use instead the device's event record. Timing information can be delayed by 30
seconds.
Save Timing Information to CSV File — Enable to write timing information in a spreadsheet. The timing information is
recorded in a text file that uses commas to separate each of the fields. This file uses the extension CSV that is supported by
any spreadsheet application.
Every change written to the CSV file requires a timestamp.
The format for the timing information in the output window is as follows:
yyyy/mm/dd hh:dd:ss
devicename offline
yyyy/mm/dd hh:dd:ss
devicename ONLINE
yyyy/mm/dd hh:dd:ss
VO1: Virt Out 1- 0
VI4: Virt In 4- 1
DI3: Direct In 3- 0
RI2: Remote In 2- 1
H5a: Contact In 1- 1
H1: Contact Output 1- 0
Data is only appended to the CSV file. The format for the data is as follows:
yyyy/mm/dd hh:dd:ss, devicename, offline
4 yyyy/mm/dd hh:dd:ss, devicename, ONLINE

Chapter 5: Settings
Settings
This chapter outlines front panel and/or software settings. The relay is not taken out of service when saving settings; the
relay is taken out of service when a settings file is written to it.
Settings can be viewed remotely in a web browser by entering the IP address of the relay, accessing the Device
Information Menu option, then the Front-Panel Display Report option.
When indicated that a restart is required for a setting change to take effect, use the Maintenance > Reboot Relay
Command in the software.
Settings file conversion from previous firmware versions is supported. See the Maintenance chapter.

An exception to this rule is digital elements, which use logic states as inputs.
Elements are arranged into two classes, grouped and control. Each element classed as a grouped element is provided with
six alternate sets of settings, in setting groups numbered 1 through 6. The performance of a grouped element is defined by
the setting group that is active at a given time. The performance of a control element is independent of the selected active
setting group.
The main characteristics of an element are shown on a logic diagram. This includes the inputs, settings, fixed logic, and the
output operands generated. The previous chapter explains how to read a logic diagram, and the abbreviations used in a
diagram are defined in the Abbreviations chapter.
Some settings are specified in per-unit (pu) calculated quantities:
pu quantity = (actual quantity) / (base quantity)
Where the current source is from a single current transformer (CT), the base quantity is the nominal secondary or primary
current of the CT. Use the secondary current base to convert per-unit settings to/from a secondary current value, and use
the primary current base to convert to/from a primary current value.
Where the current source is the sum of two or more CTs with different nominal primary current, the primary base quantity
is the largest nominal primary current. For example, if CT1 = 300 / 5 A and CT2 = 100 / 1 A, then in order to sum these, CT2
is scaled to the CT1 ratio. In this case, the base quantity is 300 A primary, 5 A secondary for CT1, and 300/(100/1) = 3 A
secondary for CT2.
For voltage elements, the primary base quantity is the nominal phase-to-phase primary voltage of the protected system
provided that the VT ratio setting is set to the nominal ratio of the VTs and the secondary voltage setting is set to the
phase-to-phase voltage seen by the relay when the voltage of the protected system in nominal. The UR uses the
convention that nominal voltages in a three-phase system are phase-to-phase voltages.
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage, the base quantity is 13800 V. With 14400:120 V delta-
connected VTs, the secondary base quantity and secondary voltage setting is:
13800
-------------- u 120 = 115 V Eq. 5-1
14400
For wye-connected VTs, the primary and secondary base quantities are as before, but the secondary voltage setting (here
a phase-to-ground value) is:
5
13800 120
-------------- u -------- = 66.4 V
14400 3 Eq. 5-2
• EVENTS setting — This setting is used to control whether the pickup, dropout, or operate states are recorded by the
event recorder. When set to “Disabled,” element pickup, dropout, or operate are not recorded as events. When set to
“Enabled,” events are created for
<Element> PKP (pickup)
<Element> DPO (dropout)
<Element> OP (operate)
The DPO event is created when the measure and decide comparator output transits from the pickup state (logic 1) to
the dropout state (logic 0). This can happen when the element is in the operate state if the reset delay time is not zero.
Not every operand of a given element in a UR relay generates events, only the major output operands. Elements,
asserting output per phase, log operating phase output only, without asserting the common three-phase operand
event.
5.2.2.1 Background
A mechanism called a Source creates a group of CT and VT input channels to be used by one or more protection and
control elements. Sources, in the context of UR series relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals
such that one source contains all the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power system. A given
source can contain some, or all, of the following signals:
• Three-phase currents
• Single-phase ground current
• Three-phase voltages
5 • An auxiliary voltage from a single VT for checking for synchronism.
For example, a line protection system having distance protection, phase and ground overcurrent protection supervised by
a directional element, and breaker failure protection, can use a single source (SRC 1) shown in the table below. For some
functions, two sources are needed. For example, for the synchrocheck function, voltage across the breaker needs to be
measured, therefore both SRC1 with a phase voltage and source SRC 2 with an auxiliary voltage are needed.
Two AC sources are provided for each DSP module in UR relays. In relays with two DSP modules, four AC sources are
provided. In relays with three DSP modules, six AC sources are provided.
Parameter Source 1 Source 2
Name SRC 1 SRC 2
Phase CT F1 None
Ground CT F1 None
Phase VT F5 None
Aux VT None F5
Another important feature of the UR source is the ability to sum currents internally. In conventional analog or electronic
relays, the sum of the currents is obtained from an external electrical connection of all CTs, through which any portion of
the current for the element being protected can flow. In this case, auxiliary interposing CTs are needed to perform ratio
matching, if the ratios of the primary CTs to be summed are not identical. In the UR series of relays, all the current signals
are input to the UR device individually, where grouping, ratio correction, and summation are calculated internally with the
help of configuration settings.
A major advantage of using internal summation is that the individual currents are still available to the protection device
along with a summed current. For example, in a breaker-and-a-half configuration, CT current summed from both breakers
is used for the line distance and overcurrent protection, while still being available as individual currents, for breaker failure
protection for both breakers.
The internal grouping of current and voltage signals forms an AC source. This source can be given a specific name through
the settings and becomes available to protection and metering elements. Individual names can be given to each source to
help identify them for later use.
Once the sources have been configured, you have them available as selections for the choice of input signal for the
protection elements and as metered quantities.

For example, in the scheme shown in the above figure, four different sources are configured as inputs for separate
elements:
• Source 1 - CT1 current, for the breaker failure 1 element and first current source for the transformer differential
element HV winding 1
• Source 2 - CT2 current, for breaker failure 2 element and second current source for the transformer differential
element HV winding 2
• Source 3 - CT3 current, for LV backup protection elements and third current source for the transformer differential
element LV winding 3
• Source 4 - sum of CT1 and CT2 measuring full HV winding current for the backup protection of the HV winding. This
source also has VT1 configured for the functions requiring both current and voltage, such as power metering.
Cyber security
The UR family of products are digital devices designed to be installed and operated in utility substations & industrial
plant environments and connected to secure private networks. UR Family IED should not be connected to the public
internet.
GE strongly recommends that users protect their digital devices using a defense-in-depth strategy which will protect
their products, their network, their systems and interfaces against cyber security threats. This includes, but is not
limited to, placing digital devices inside the control system network security perimeter, deploying and maintaining
access controls, monitoring and Intrusion Detection, security awareness training, security policies, network
segmentation and firewalls installation, strong and active password management, data encryption, antivirus and
other mitigating applicable technologies.
UR Family IEDs are available with an optional software option, which provides additional cyber security mechanisms
to help users protect against cyber security intrusion. GE strongly recommends use this "CyberSentry" option.
For additional details and recommendations on how to protect the UR Family IED, please see Hardening Setup section
below. GE Grid Solution may also provide additional instructions and recommendations to users from time to time
relating to UR Family IED and cyber security threats or vulnerabilities.
It is the users' sole responsibility to make sure that UR Family IEDs are installed and operated considering its cyber
security capabilities, security context, and the instructions and recommendations provided to the user relating to UR
Family IED. Users assume all risks and liability associated with damages or losses incurred in connection with any and
5
all cyber security incidences.
Lost password
If all passwords are lost, reset the unit to default values. Follow the instructions outlined later for COMMANDS RELAY
MAINTENANCE SERVICE COMMAND. Note that the relay is reset to default values, not just the passwords.
Then for CyberSentry, change the default password of ChangeMe1# as outlined in the Set Up CyberSentry and Change
Default Password section at the end of the Installation chapter.
Password requirements
A user account requires an alpha-numeric password that meets the following requirements:
• Password is case-sensitive
• Password cannot contain the user account name or parts of the user account that exceed two consecutive
characters
• Password must be 8 to 20 characters in length
• Password must contain characters from all of the following categories:
For a relay without a CyberSentry software option, any user can activate the RESET button or Reset/Acknowledge
an alarm in the Graphical Front Panel Annunciator without password entry.
ACCESS LEVEL — This setting is viewable on the front panel. The Setting and Command passwords can be changed in the
EnerVista interface.
The "Restricted" option means that settings and commands can be accessed, but there is no access to factory
configuration. Access automatically reverts to the Restricted level according to the ACCESS LEVEL TIMEOUTS values. The
access level is set to Restricted when control power is cycled.
The "Factory Service" level is for factory functions.
There are two user security access levels, setting and command, for which you can set a password for each. Use of a
password for each level controls whether users can enter commands or change settings. Another option is to specify
setting and/or command access for individual user accounts.
• Setting — Allows the user to make any changes to any of the setting values:
– Change any setting
– Test mode operation
• Command — Restricts the user from making any settings changes, but allows the user to perform the following
operations:
– Change the state of virtual inputs
– Clear the event records
– Clear the oscillography records
– Change the date and time
– Clear the data logger
– Clear the user-programmable pushbutton states
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the
corresponding connection password. If the connection is to the back of the T35, use the remote password. If the
connection is to the RS232 port of the front panel, use the local password.
The local setting and command sessions are initiated by the user through the front panel display and are disabled either
by the user or by timeout (via the setting and command level access timeout settings). The remote setting and command
sessions are initiated by the user through the EnerVista software and are disabled either by the user or by timeout.
The state of the session (local or remote, setting or command) determines the state of the following FlexLogic operands:
• ACCESS LOC SETG OFF — Asserted when local setting access is disabled
• ACCESS LOC SETG ON — Asserted when local setting access is enabled
• ACCESS LOC CMND OFF — Asserted when local command access is disabled
• ACCESS LOC CMND ON — Asserted when local command access is enabled
• ACCESS REM SETG OFF — Asserted when remote setting access is disabled
• ACCESS REM SETG ON — Asserted when remote setting access is enabled
• ACCESS REM CMND OFF — Asserted when remote command access is disabled
• ACCESS REM CMND ON — Asserted when remote command access is enabled
A command or setting write operation is required to update the state of the remote and local security operands
listed.
When a setting password or command password is set or updated, user access with a graphical front panel is
removed. Simply log in again on the graphical front panel.
When the setting password is set or updated, the graphical front panel Access Level displays as Command. This is
because the graphical front panel is a Modbus client and it does not have automatic access to the password
change. 5
PASSWORD ACCESS EVENTS — This setting allows recording of password access events in the event recorder.
As outlined in the previous section, there are two user security access levels, setting and command. Use of a password for
each level controls whether users can enter commands or change settings.
Proper password codes are required to enable each access level. When a CHANGE COMMAND PASSWORD or CHANGE
SETTING PASSWORD setting is programmed to “Yes” via the front panel interface, the following message sequence is
invoked:
1. ENTER NEW PASSWORD: ____________.
2. VERIFY NEW PASSWORD: ____________.
3. NEW PASSWORD HAS BEEN STORED.
To gain write access to a “Restricted” setting, program the ACCESS LEVEL setting in the main security menu to “Setting” and
then change the setting, or attempt to change the setting and follow the prompt to enter the programmed password. If the
password is correctly entered, access is allowed. Access automatically reverts to the “Restricted” level according to the
access level timeout setting values and when power is cycled.
If the setting and command passwords are identical, then this one password allows access to both commands and
settings.
If a remote connection is established, local passcodes are not visible.
If you establish a local (serial) connection to the relay, you cannot view remote passcodes.
Access supervision
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP SECURITY ACCESS SUPERVISION
ACCESS ACCESS LEVEL See below
SUPERVISION TIMEOUTS
This menu displays when the ACCESS LEVEL setting is other than Restricted or Command.
The following access supervision settings are available.
INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT — This setting specifies the number of times that an incorrect password can be entered
within three minutes before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED or REMOTE ACCESS
DENIED FlexLogic operands are set to “On.” These operands return to the “Off” state upon expiration of the lockout.
PASSWORD LOCKOUT DURATION — This setting specifies the time that the T35 locks out password access after the number
of invalid password entries specified by the INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT setting.
The T35 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. If password verification fails while accessing a
password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic operand is
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.
The UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand is reset with the COMMANDS CLEAR RECORDS RESET UNAUTHORIZED
ALARMS command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, password-protect the Command level. The operand does
not generate events or targets.
If events or targets are required, the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand can be assigned to a digital element
programmed with event logs or targets enabled.
FACTORY SERVICE MODE — A factory service user is supported to perform additional operations intended only for them. This
setting allows access by GE support staff to be turned on and off. A factory service user can log in only when this setting is
configured as Enabled. It is disabled by default. When Enabled, the relay logs events and activates the TROUBLE LED.
GE recommends that Factory Service Mode be disabled when factory operations are not intended to be performed. The
TROUBLE LED de-activates when a user disables Factory Service Mode.
Login is required for this user, and the password is unique for each relay.
A factory service user is logged out with any of the following circumstances:
• UR restarts
• FACTORY SERVICE MODE setting is disabled by Administrator or factory service user 5
• ACCESS LEVEL setting is changed from "Factory Service" via front panel or serial connection
LOCK FIRMWARE — This setting determines whether the device accepts or blocks a firmware upgrade. When Disabled,
firmware can be updated. When Enabled, the firmware cannot be updated. When Enabled/locked and a firmware upgrade
is attempted using the software, the UNAUTH FW ATTEMPT FlexLogic operand does not assert. When locked and a
firmware upgrade is attempted without using the software, the operand asserts. A user with an Access Level of "Settings"
can modify this setting.
These settings allow the user to specify the length of inactivity required before returning to the Restricted access level.
Note that the access level is set to Restricted when control power is cycled.
COMMAND LEVEL ACCESS TIMEOUT — This setting specifies the length of inactivity (no local or remote access) required to
return to Restricted access from the Command password level.
SETTING LEVEL ACCESS TIMEOUT — This setting specifies the length of inactivity (no local or remote access) required to return
to Restricted access from the Settings password level.
This menu displays when the ACCESS LEVEL setting is other than Restricted or Command.
This feature provides a mechanism to prevent unauthorized or unintended upload of settings to a relay through the local
or remote interface.
The following settings are available through the local (front panel) interface only.
• LOCAL SETTING AUTH — This setting is used for local (front panel or RS232 interface) setting access supervision. Valid
values for the FlexLogic operands are either “On” (default) or any physical “Contact Input ~~ On” value.
If this setting is “On,“ then local setting access functions as normal; that is, a local setting password is required. If this
setting is any contact input on FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (on) prior to providing the local
setting password to gain setting access.
If setting access is not authorized for local operation (front panel or RS232 interface) and the user attempts to obtain
setting access, then the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS message displays on the front panel.
If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.
• REMOTE SETTING AUTH — This setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interface) setting access supervision.
If this setting is “On” (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
required. If this setting is “Off,” then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is
provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to
providing the remote setting password to gain setting access.
If this setting is "Off," firmware upgrades are blocked. If this setting is "On," firmware upgrades are allowed.
5 • ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT — This setting represents the timeout delay for local setting access. This setting is applicable
when the LOCAL SETTING AUTH setting is programmed to any operand except “On.” The state of the FlexLogic operand
is monitored continuously for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, local access is permitted and the timer
programmed with the ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT setting value is started. When this timer expires, local setting access is
immediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic operand is detected, the
timeout is restarted. The status of this timer updates every five seconds.
The following settings are available through the remote (EnerVista UR Setup) interface only. Select the Settings > Product
Setup > Security menu item to display the security settings window.
The Remote Settings Authorized setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interface) setting access supervision. If this
setting is “On” (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is required.
If this setting is “Off,” then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is provided. If this
setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (on) prior to providing the remote setting
password to gain setting access.
The Access Authorized Timeout setting represents the timeout delay remote setting access. It applies when the Remote
Settings Authorized setting is programmed to any operand except “On” or “Off.” The state of the FlexLogic operand is
continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, remote setting access is permitted, and the timer
programmed with the Access Authorized Timeout setting value is started. When this timer expires, remote setting access
is denied immediately. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic operand is detected, the timeout is
restarted. The status of this timer updates every five seconds.
From EnerVista UR Setup version 8.50, Change Password and User Security menus are removed under the Admin
menu, so the users can not setup different access rights like Delete Entry, Settings, Commands etc in the new
software, the Login User menu is changed to Factory Use Only: Login only for the factory service to use.
Figure 5-1: Admin menu of EnerVista UR Setup
This feature requires a CyberSentry software option, specified at the time of ordering.
The EnerVista software provides the means to configure and authenticate the T35 access using either a server or the
device. Access to functions depends on user role.
The login screen of EnerVista has two options for access to the T35, these being Server and Device authentication.
When the “Server” Authentication Type is selected, the T35 uses the RADIUS server and not its local authentication
database to authenticate the user.
When the “Device” button is selected, the T35 uses its local authentication database and not the RADIUS server to
authenticate the user. In this case, it uses built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Operator, Observer, or
Administrator and Supervisor when Device Authentication is disabled), as login accounts and the associated passwords
are stored on the T35 device. In this case, access is not user-attributable. In cases where user-attributable access is
required, especially for auditable processes for compliance reasons, use server authentication (RADIUS) only.
No password or security information is displayed in plain text by the EnerVista software or the UR device, nor are they ever
transmitted without cryptographic protection.
Only (TCP/UDP) ports and services that are needed for device configuration and for customer enabled features are
5 open. All the other ports are closed. For example, Modbus is on by default, so its TCP port 502, is open. But if
Modbus is disabled, port 502 is closed. This function has been tested and no unused ports have been found open.
When CyberSentry is enabled, Modbus communications over Ethernet is encrypted for all roles but for the Observer. The
built-in Observer role has read-only access to data over Modbus over Ethernet without authentication. Encrypted Modbus
communication over Ethernet is not always tolerated by SCADA systems. The UR has a bypass access feature for such
situations, which allows unencrypted Modbus over Ethernet. The Bypass Access setting is available on the SETTINGS
PRODUCT SETUP SECURITY SUPERVISORY screen. Note that other protocols (DNP, 101, 103, 104, EGD) are not encrypted,
and they are good communications options for SCADA systems when CyberSentry is enabled.
When using the rear RS485 port and CyberSentry, registers can be read with a maximum buffer of 64 bytes. Settings may
not be written, so use another port or configure the SERIAL INACTIVITY TIMEOUT setting to a high value, such as eight
minutes, to give the relay enough time to finish the task.
For the Device > Settings > Product Setup > Supervisory option, the panel looks like the following.

Figure 5-4: Supervisory panel
LOGIN — This setting is applicable for Device authentication only. This setting allows a user to log in with a specific role, as
outlined here. For the Supervisor role, enable the “Supervisor Role” setting. Log out by right-clicking the device in EnerVista
and selecting the Disconnect option.
Whenever a new role is logged in, the user is prompted to enter a password. Passwords must obey the requirements
specified earlier in the chapter in the Password Requirements section.The UR device supports five roles. Roles have their
corresponding passwords, except the Observer role, which does not require a password. There are no time-outs for the
Administrator, Engineer, Operator, and Supervisor when logged in using the front panel; log out manually or use the
Command > Security commands in the software.
The roles are defined as follows:
• Administrator — Complete read/write access to all settings and commands. This role does not allow concurrent
access. This role has an operand to indicate when it is logged on.
• Engineer — Complete read/write access to all settings and commands except configuring Security settings and
firmware upgrades. This role does not allow concurrent access.
• Operator — The Operator has read/write access to all settings under the Commands menu/section. This role does not
5 •
exist offline.
Supervisor — This is only an approving role. This role’s authentication commits setting changes submitted by
Administrator or Engineer. The Supervisor role authenticates to unlock the UR relay for setting changes and not
approve changes after the fact. Only a Supervisor can set the Settings Lock and Firmware Lock in the Security
settings. This role also has the ability to forcefully log off any other role and clear the security event log. This role can
also be disabled, but only through a Supervisor authentication. When this role is disabled its permissions are assigned
to the Administrator role.
• Observer — This role has read-only access to all T35 settings. This role allows concurrent Observer access but it has no
download access to any files on the device. Observer is the default role if no authentication has been done to the
device. This role displays as "None" on the front panel. When local authentication is used, no password is required for
this role. When RADIUS server authentication is used, a password is required.
CLIENT AUTHENTICATION — SSH Client authentication is available from firmware version 8.50. If CLIENT AUTHENTICATIO is
enabled, then the passcode will be required for the client to connect to the device over SSH.
If Client authentication is disabled, then any client can connect to device without passcode. In that case, 3rd party clients
can connect to the device as before.
CLIENT PASSCODE— The client passcode is a string can be configured in UR device under “Administrator” role. It can be
configured from front panel as well as EnerVista UR Setup. The client passcode will follow password complexity rules.
• The default passcode is SSHpassphrase1#.
• The passcode is not stored in clear text but will be securely stored with salted hash mechanism.
• Administrator can modify the SSH passcode from the UR software or the front panel, the existing SSH passcode will be
required to enter first.
• When the device is set the the factory default as outlined later in SERVICE COMMAND, the relay settings, user
password as well as SSH passcode will all be set to default.
• This SSH passcode should be retained in case of power cycle as well as firmware upgrade.
• The SSH passcode will be same for all clients.
The Factory service role is not available. It is for factory use only. The FACTORY SERVICE MODE setting must be
enabled for access.
The Local Access Denied message on the front panel can mean that you need to log in to the UR in order to
complete the action.
The menu displays on the front panel upon successful login of the Administrator role.
Passwords are stored in salted hash format.
In Device authentication mode, the Observer role does not have a password associated with it. In Server
authentication mode the Observer role requires a password.
If you are locked out of the software, reset the device to factory defaults as outlined later for COMMANDS RELAY
MAINTENANCE SERVICE COMMAND. When using CyberSentry, the default password is “ChangeMe1#”.
Once the passwords are set, the Administrator with Supervisor approval can change the role-associated password. 5

AUTHENTICATION: Yes
The Supervisory menu settings are available for Supervisor role only, or if the Supervisor role is disabled then for the
Administrator role only.
DEVICE AUTHENTICATION — This setting is enabled by default, meaning "Yes" is selected. When enabled, Device
authentication with roles is enabled. When this setting is disabled, the UR only authenticates to the AAA server (RADIUS).
However, the Administrator and Supervisor (when enabled) remain active even after device authentication is disabled and
their only permission is to re-enable Device authentication. To re-enable Device authentication, the Supervisor unlocks the
device for settings changes, then the Administrator re-enables device authentication.
BYPASS ACCESS — The bypass security feature provides an easier access, with no authentication and encryption for those
special situations when this is considered safe. Only the Supervisor, or the Administrator when the Supervisor role is
disabled, can enable this feature.
Mode Front panel or serial (RS232, RS485) Ethernet
Normal mode Authentication — Role Based Access Control (RBAC) Authentication — RBAC and passwords encrypted

When the BYPASS ACCESS setting is set to a local or remote option, it overrides LOCK SETTINGS and allows changes.
LOCK FIRMWARE — Specifies whether the device accepts a firmware upgrade, with a default of Enabled to deny upgrade.
The Supervisor role Disables this setting to allow upgrades. After the upgrade, the Supervisor then Enables the setting to
prevent upgrades.
When the BYPASS ACCESS setting is set to a local or remote option, it overrides LOCK FIRMWARE and allows changes.

CyberSentry setup
When first using CyberSentry security, use the following procedure for setup.
1. Log in to the relay as Administrator by using the VALUE keys on the front panel to enter the default password
"ChangeMe1#". Note that the LOCK SETTINGS setting needs to be disabled (default) in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP
SECURITY SUPERVISORY menu.
2. Enable the Supervisor role if you have a need for it.
3. Make any required changes in configuration, such as setting a valid IP address for communication over Ethernet.
4. Log out of the Administrator account by choosing None.
5. Next, Device or Server authentication can be chosen on the login screen, but the choice is available only in EnerVista.
Use Device authentication to log in using the five pre-configured roles (Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator,
Observer). When using a serial connection, only Device authentication is supported. When Server authentication is
required, characteristics for communication with a RADIUS server must be configured. This is possible only in the
EnerVista software. The RADIUS server itself also must be configured. The appendix called RADIUS Server at the end of
this instruction manual gives an example of how to set up a simple RADIUS server. Once both the RADIUS server and
the parameters for connecting the UR to the server have been configured, you can choose Server authentication on
the login screen of EnerVista.
The use of CyberSentry for devices communicating through an Ethernet-to-RS485 gateway is not
supported. Because these gateways do not support the secure protocols necessary to communicate
with such devices, the connection cannot be established. Use the device as a non-CyberSentry
device.
Users logged in through the front panel are not timed out and cannot be forcefully logged out by a
supervisor. Roles logged in through the front panel that do no allow multiple instances
(Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator) must switch to None (equivalent to a logout) when
they are done in order to log out.
For all user roles except Observer, only one instance can be logged in at a time, for both login by front
panel and software.
To configure Server authentication:
1. In the EnerVista software, choose Device authentication and log in as Administrator.
2. Configure the following RADIUS server parameters: IP address, authentication port, shared secret, and vendor ID.
3. On the RADIUS server, configure the user accounts. Do not use the five pre-defined roles as user names (Administrator,
Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer) in the RADIUS server. If you do, the UR relay automatically provides the
authentication from the device.
4. In the EnerVista software, choose Server authentication and log in using the user name and password configured on
the RADIUS server for Server authentication login.
5. After making any required changes, log out.
When changing settings offline, ensure that only settings permitted by the role that performs the
settings download are changed because only those changes are applied.
Pushbuttons (both user-control buttons and user-programmable buttons) located on the front panel can be pressed by an
5
Administrator or Engineer role. This also applies to the RESET button, which resets targets, where targets are errors
displayed on the front panel or the Targets panel of the EnerVista software. The RESET button has special behavior in that it
allows these two roles to press it even when they are logged in through the RS232 port and not through the front panel.
To reset the security event log and self-test operands:
1. Log in as Supervisor (if the role is enabled) or Administrator (if the Supervisor role is disabled) and execute a clear
security command under Commands > Security > Clear Security.
Security events
The security events produced when the CyberSentry option is purchased are sent as sytem log (syslog) messages to a
syslog server, if one is configured. The format is as follows.

In addition to supporting syslog, a T35 with CyberSentry also saves the security events in two local security files, these
being SECURITY_EVENTS.CSV and SETTING_CHANGES.LOG. Details on these files and how to retrieve them are available in
the EnerVista software under Maintenance > Retrieve File. Depending on the level of criticality/severity, a syslog server or
a reporting tool gathering information from a syslog server can produce reports, charts, and so on. All severity levels are
per RFC 5424.

Some relay messaging characteristics can be modified to suit different situations using the display properties settings.
LANGUAGE — This setting selects the language used to display settings, actual values, and targets. This setting displays
when a language other than English was purchased, and the range depends on the order code of the relay.
For Japanese, the settings display in Japanese on the graphical front panel, while the keys printed on the panel are in
English.
For Japanese and Chinese, up to 10 characters can be input in a field on the graphical front panel, not 20.
With the graphical front panel, the language can be changed regardless of the language purchased. That is, all languages
5 can be used. If you select a language with which you are unfamiliar and want to switch back to English for example, the
menu order remains the same. That is, Settings is always second, Product Setup is always first, Display Properties is always
second, and Language is always first.
If the language is changed after entering user-configured names, such as relay names, the strings are not translated. For
example, a relay name is entered in English, the language is changed to Japanese, and the relay name remains in English.
Set the language before changing settings.
The language can be selected also for the front panel in EnerVista under Maintenance > Change Front Panel.
The language of the EnerVista software can be changed under View > Language. Languages supported by the operating
system display; that is for Polish or Japanese to display, the software needs to be installed on a Polish or Japanese
operating system.
FLASH MESSAGE TIME — Flash messages are status, warning, error, and information messages displayed in response to
certain key presses during settings programming. These messages override any normal messages. Use this setting to
change the duration of flash messages on the display.
DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT — If the keypad is inactive for a period of time, the relay automatically reverts to a default
message. The inactivity time is modified using this setting to ensure that messages remain on the screen long enough
during programming or reading of actual values. This setting is not supported on the graphical front panel.
DEFAULT MESSAGE INTENSITY — To extend phosphor life in the vacuum fluorescent display, the brightness can be attenuated
during default message display. During keypad interrogation, the display always operates at full brightness. This setting is
not supported on the graphical front panel.
SCREEN SAVER FEATURE and SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME — These settings are only visible if the T35 has a liquid crystal display
(LCD) and control its backlighting. When the SCREEN SAVER FEATURE is “Enabled,” the LCD backlighting turns off after the
DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT followed by the SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME, provided that no keys have been pressed and no
target messages are active. When a keypress occurs or a target becomes active, the LCD backlighting turns on. These
settings are not supported on the graphical front panel.
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL — This setting modifies the current cut-off threshold. Very low currents (1 to 2% of the rated value)
are very susceptible to noise. Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others prefer the current to
display even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The T35 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes
and angles of the measured currents. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This applies to
phase and ground current phasors as well as true RMS values and symmetrical components. The cut-off operation applies
to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by communications protocols. Note that the
cut-off level for the sensitive ground input is 10 times lower that the CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value. Raw current
samples available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off.
VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL — This setting modifies the voltage cut-off threshold. Very low secondary voltage measurements
(at the fractional volt level) can be affected by noise. Some customers prefer these low voltages to be displayed as zero,
while others prefer the voltage to be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The T35
applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level,
it is substituted with zero. This operation applies to phase and auxiliary voltages, and symmetrical components. The cut-off
operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by communications
protocols. Raw samples of the voltages available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off.
The CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL and the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are used to determine the metered power cut-off levels. The
power cut-off level is calculated using the following equations. For Delta connections:
Lower the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL and CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL with care as the relay accepts lower signals as valid
measurements. Unless dictated otherwise by a specific application, the default settings of “0.02 pu” for CURRENT
CUT-OFF LEVEL and “1.0 V” for VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL are recommended.
Use the EnerVista software to configure the graphical front panel. The settings are not accessible from the graphical front
panel.
The following screens are available:
• Home page
• Rolling mode
• Metering editor
• Single-line diagram editor
• Annunciator editor
• Configurable navigation
The settings menu itself and the event record pages are not configurable.
Multiple screens can be opened in the EnerVista software, but the first remains active and the others can be read-only. For
example, the Annunciator Editor and Single Line Diagram Editor can be open and active, then subsequently opened Rolling
Mode and Home Page screens are read-only. Close the windows, then re-open the one required.
5 This window sets the home page displayed on the graphical front panel and the date and time formats for all pages. Home
page options include display of product information, alarms, actual values, and event records. In addition, the window
allows selection of a FlexLogic operand that enables/disables local control of breakers and switches from the graphical
front panel.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Home Page. The menu does not display when there is no
graphical front panel.

859850A1.cdr
Time Format
Range: hh:mm:ss, h:mm:ss tt
Default: hh:mm:ss
This setting specifies the format for time on the graphical front panel. It applies to the page header and everywhere else
a time displays on the panel. When the Date Format and the Time Format use the defaults, the date and time are
separated by the character "T" per the ISO convention, such as "2017-09-24T10:58:31". Otherwise the date and time are
separated by a space. If the relay is synchronized to an external time source via PTP, IRIG-B, SNTP, and so on, the date/
time is shown in white, and otherwise in yellow.
hh — two-digit hour, for example 02 for two o’clock
h — one or two-digit hour, for example 2 for two o’clock
mm — two-digit minute, for example 51 minutes
ss — two-digit second (can have a decimal and further digits appended), for example 16 seconds
tt — AM or PM based on 12 hour clock
If microseconds have to be displayed, for example, in the event records, the 24-hour clock is adopted. The
representation of an accumulated period (for example hh:mm) is not affected by the selected time format.
To set the date and time, access Synchronize Devices in the software or synchronize to a time source using Settings >
Product Setup > Real Time Clock.
Enable Controls From GFP
Range: FlexLogic operand
Default: ON
This setting enables/disables local control of breakers and switches from the graphical front panel.
The FlexLogic operand assigned to this setting applies to controls of all the single-line diagram pages. The assigned
5 operand status is reflected in the ENABLE CTRL FROM GFP FlexLogic operand.
When the operand assigned to this setting is ON, controls are enabled, as indicated on a single-line diagram with an
Enable Control label. Pressing the side pushbutton next to the label populates the front panel display with control soft
keys.
When the operand assigned to this setting is OFF, controls are disabled, and the Enable Control label does not display.
If already in control mode and the operand status assigned to this setting changes to OFF, at the confirmation prompt
the control command is not issued and the SLD screen goes to the top SLD page instead.
5 Set the Current Page, Page Name, Layout, configure the top inputs, then the cells. The 16 inputs at the top of the page are

Range: Acknowledgeable, Self Reset, Latched
Default: Acknowledgeable
Set the alarm type. The field is read-only for an actual value.
Acknowledgeable — Follow the state transitions, as outlined in the Annunciator section of the Interfaces chapter. The
alarm blinks until acknowledged, then remains on until the condition clears.
Self Reset — Track the state of the input operand. The alarm turns on when the trigger activates and off when the trigger
clears.
Latched — Alarm is on until acknowledged/reset individually or until the RESET button is pressed.
To acknowledge/reset/unlatch an alarm, use the arrow buttons on the graphical front panel and press the ENTER
button.
TEXT (LINE 1 to 3)
Range: up to 10 alphanumeric characters
Default:
The text that displays in the annunciator cell. Three lines can be displayed. Note that a specified metering value replaces
the text for the selected line. This means that a line can display text or be set to show an actual metered value. If the text
does not display it is because an actual metered value is over-riding it; change the line for the text or for the actual value.
TEXT COLOR
Range: 24-bit color selector
Default: White
The color to display for the three text or actual value lines specified.
BACK COLOR
Range: 24-bit color selector
Default: Red
The background color to display for any triggered cell, for example when an alarm is triggered.
ACTUAL (Configure)
Range: Configure
Default: Configure
The Configure button becomes active when the CONTENT field is set to "Actual" or "Mixed." The window specifies the
metering data to display.
Parameter
Range: any FlexAnalog parameter
Default:
This setting selects a FlexAnalog parameter that specifies the metered value to display in the annunciator alarm.
Units
Range: up to eight alphanumeric characters
Default:
This setting specifies the units of measurement for the metered value and is populated based on the Parameter
selected. The field can be left blank when units of measure do not apply.
Scale Factor
Range: G Giga, M Mega, k Kilo, None
Default: None
This setting allows the user to specify the scaling factor for the metering units value. Options depend on the Parameter.
Multiplier
Range: -1000000 to 1000000
Default: 1.0
This setting allows the user to specify a multiplier for the metering parameter value. The multiplier must be in
compliance with the 32-bit floating-point format per IEEE 754, otherwise, the input value is represented as per the IEEE 5
standard. For example, 1234.56789 is represented as 1234.567871094, and 9876.54321 as 9876.54296875.
Number of Integers
Range: 1 to 12 in steps of 1
Default: 1
This setting specifies the number of integers in the displayed analog value. It can be used to provide for leading
character spacing of the display value.
For example, setting the number to 2 displays 00.000[V] and setting it to 3 displays 000.000[V].
Number of Decimals
Range: 0 to 10 in steps of 1
Default: 3
This setting specifies the number of decimal places in the displayed analog value. For example, setting the number to 1
displays 0.0 and setting it to 2 displays 0.00.
Display in Line
Range: 1, 2, 3
Default: 1
This setting specifies the line in the annunciator alarm window to display the metered value. The actual value replaces
the text for the selected line. For example, 2 means the value displays in line 2 of the text; any text configured to display
in that line does not display.
This feature allows FlexLogic operands to trigger page display on the graphical front panel. It consists of 64 setting pairs,
each with a condition and an activation page. The condition selects any FlexLogic operand. The activation page selects
any page available for the graphical front panel. The page opens whenever the selected operand transitions from Off to
On. The page remains open until rolling mode initiates, another trigger initiates from Configurable Navigation, or the Home
button is pressed.
Avoid selecting condition operands that are likely to operate simultaneously but activate different pages, as only one page
can be opened at a time. For example, do not select a single-line diagram page for breaker status open and select an
annunciator page for a trip alarm.
In the example shown, failure of any of the three Ethernet ports triggers the Product Information page to display. With
unauthorized access (such as wrong password), IRIG-B clock failure, or breaker trouble, the Event Records display. When a
breaker opens, a single-line diagram displays. For the Ethernet and IRIG-B failure operation to work, these functions also
have been enabled under Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable Self Tests.
Figure 5-13: Configurable navigation editor
To use the feature, select a CONDITION, select an ACTIVATE PAGE, then save.
CONDITION
Range: OFF, ON, any FlexLogic operand
Default: OFF
Select the FlexLogic operand for the trigger. When it transitions from Off to On, it opens the page specified by the
ACTIVATE PAGE setting. The FlexLogic operands selectable depend on product. Select it from the drop-down list. Or click
or select the field and start typing to auto-fill. For example, typing F displays FIRST ETHERNET FAIL, while typing BR
displays the first breaker option.
ACTIVATE PAGE
Range: Product Information, SLD 1…5, Annunciator, Annunciator 1…8, Actual Values Phasors 1…6, Tabular 1…5, Event
Records, Targets
Default: Product Information
This setting specifies the page to display on the graphical front panel when the FlexLogic operand selected by its
CONDITON setting transitions from Off to On.
The "Annunciator" option without a page number specifies the first annunciator page in the following sequence:
– The first annunciator page that contains an annunciator window that is in alarm (fast flash)
– The first annunciator page that contains an annunciator window that is in ringback. Ringback is a "return alert."
Visual and audible signals are given when conditions return to normal, then the sequence returns to normal by
pushing the RESET button.
– The first annunciator page that contains an annunciator window that is in abnormal state
– Annunciator page 1
The Tabular option displays a configured actual values/metering page.
The Targets option displays error messages, such as wrong transceiver, similar to event record entries.

RS232 PORT FUNCTION — This setting enables and disables the RS232 serial port on the front panel. When the port function
is “Enabled”, a standard RS232 serial cable allows a computer running the EnerVista UR Setup software to retrieve, display,
and write settings either individually or collectively, to display status and actual values, to initiate controls, and to retrieve
and display event records, oscillography records, data logger records, and disturbance records. This setting is applicable to
both enhanced and basic front panels.
RS232 BAUD RATE, RS485 COM2 BAUD RATE, and PARITY — The T35 is equipped with two independent serial communication
ports. The front panel RS232 port (USB port with graphical front panel) is intended for local use. The rear COM2 port is
RS485 and has settings for baud rate and parity. It is important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the
computer or other equipment that is connected to these ports. Any of these ports can be connected to a computer
running the EnerVista software, for example to download and upload setting files, view measured parameters, and
upgrade the relay firmware. A maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and connected to a DCS, PLC, or computer
using the RS485 ports. If IEC 60870-103 is chosen as the protocol, valid baud rates are 9600 and 19200 bit/s, and valid
parity is Even.
RS485 PORT FUNCTION — This setting enables and disables the RS485 COM2 serial port on the rear panel. When the port
function is “Disabled”, SCADA (Modbus or IEC103 communications) and other comms on the rear RS485 port are not
permitted.
RS485 COM2 RESPONSE MIN TIME — This setting specifies the minimum time before the rear RS485 port transmits after
receiving data from a host. This feature allows operation with hosts that hold the RS485 transmitter active for some time
after each transmission.

5.3.5.4 Network
As outlined in the previous section, when using more than one Ethernet port, configure each to belong to a different
network or subnet using the IP addresses and mask. Configure the network IP and subnet settings before configuring the
routing settings.
Follow the IP and subnet mask rules outlined in the Set IP Address in UR section of the Installation chapter.
To obtain a list of all port numbers used, for example for audit purposes, contact GE technical support with substantiating
information, such as the serial number and order code of your device.
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK NETWORK PORT 1(3)
NETWORK PORT 1 PRT1 IP ADDRESS: Range: standard IPV4 address format
127.0.0.1
The IP addresses are used with the DNP, Modbus/TCP, IEC 61580, IEC 60870-5-104, TFTP, HTTP, and PRP protocols. PRP is
explained in its own section later.
Use the front panel to change these settings. When online, the EnerVista software can be used to enable/disable each port
only. In the Offline Window area, all settings can be changed except port 2 redundancy (depending on firmware version).
When using GOOSE, in failover or PRP mode, port 3 configuration in the CID file is ignored. The Port 3 ConnectedAP
elements has no meaning, as ports 2 and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask.
PRT1 (2 or 3) IP ADDRESS — This setting sets the port’s IPv4 address in standard IPV4 format. This setting is valid on port 3 if
port 2 REDUNDANCY is set to None.
PRT1 (2 or 3) SUBNET MASK — This setting sets the port’s IPv4 subnet mask in standard IPV4 format. This setting is valid on
port 3 if port 2 REDUNDANCY is set to None.
PRT1 (2 or 3) FUNCTION — This setting enable/disables network communication on the respective port. When the port
function is Disabled, the network traffic on this port is disabled. The PRT2 redundancy setting has no effect on this
5 functionality. The change takes effect upon relay restart.
If you disable a port here that is used to communicate between the relay and the software, this can take down all
communication between the two. For example, an Ethernet connection set to the IP address of the relay can be disabled
and cannot be reached, even when pinging. The port needs to be re-enabled, IP and any gateway addresses need to be
checked, and the relay needs to be set to Programmed.
PRT2 REDUNDANCY — Determines if ports 2 and 3 operate in redundant or independent mode. If the software options in the
order code include PRP, the available options are None, Failover, and PRP. If the software options in the order code do not
include PRP, the available options are None and Failover. In non-redundant mode (REDUNDANCY set to None), ports 2 and 3
operate independently with their own MAC, IP, and mask addresses. If REDUNDANCY is set to Failover, the operation of ports
2 and 3 is as follows:
• Ports 2 and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask
• The configuration fields for IP address and mask on port 3 are hidden
• Port 3 is in standby mode and does not actively communicate on the Ethernet network but monitors its link to the
Ethernet switch. If port 2 detects a problem with the link, communications is switched to Port 3. Port 3 is, in effect,
acting as a redundant or backup link to the network for port 2. Once port 2 detects that the link between itself and the
switch is good and that communication is healthy for five minutes, then switching back to port 2 is performed. The
delay in switching back ensures that rebooted switching devices connected to the T35, which signal their ports as
active prior to being completely functional, have time to completely initialize themselves and become active. Once
port 2 is active again, port 3 returns to standby mode.
If REDUNDANCY is set to PRP, the operation of ports 2 and 3 is as follows:
• Ports 2 and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask
• The configuration fields for IP address and mask on port 3 are overwritten with those from port 2. This is visible on the
front panel but not displayed in the EnerVista software.
• Port 2 MCST ADDRESS field is visible
• The port 2 PTP function still uses only port 2 and the port 3 PTP function still uses only port 3. The relay still
synchronizes to whichever port has the best master. When ports 2 and 3 see the same master, as is typically the case
for PRP networks, the port with the better connectivity is used.
The two ports must be connected to completely independent LANs with no single point of failure, such as common
power supplies that feed switches on both LANs.
When REDUNDANCY is set to PRP or failover and the network path with resolved default gateway is broken, then the
ARP table needs approximately five seconds to rebuild. The layer 2 protocols (GOOSE and PTP) are not affected.
However, the TCP/IP or UDP protocols (MMS connections, DNP3.0, and so on) can require reconnection if their active
connection does not ride through re-transmission frames.
For any changes to this setting to take effect, restart the unit.
PRT2 PRP MCST ADDR — This setting allows the user to change the multicast address used by the PRP supervision frames.
This setting is available if REDUNDANCY is set to PRP. All devices in the same PRP network need to have the same multicast
address. Choose an address that does not conflict with another multicast protocol.
The T35 is provided with optional PRP capability, specified as a software option at the time of ordering.
The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) defines a redundancy protocol for high availability in substation automation
networks. It applies to networks based on Ethernet technology (ISO/IEC 8802-3) and is based on the second edition (July
2012) of IEC 62439-3, clause 4.
PRP is designed to provide seamless recovery in case of a single failure in the network, by using a combination of LAN
duplication and frame duplication. Identical frames are sent on two completely independent networks that connect source
and destination. Under normal circumstances both frames reach the destination and one of them is sent up the OSI stack
to the destination application, while the second one is discarded. If an error occurs in one of the networks and traffic is
prevented from flowing on that path, connectivity is provided through the other network to ensure continuous
communication. Take care when designing the two LANs, so that no single point of failure (such as a common power
supply) is encountered, as such scenarios can bring down both LANs simultaneously.
Figure 5-17: Example of parallel redundant network
PRP uses specialized nodes called doubly attached nodes (DANPs) for handling the duplicated frames. DANP devices have
an additional module, called a Link Redundancy Entity (LRE). LRE is responsible for duplicating frames and adding the
specific PRP trailer when sending the frames out on the LAN, as well as making decisions on received frames as to which
one is sent up the OSI stack to the application layer and which one is discarded. LRE is responsible for making PRP
transparent to the higher layers of the stack.
In addition, there is a second type of specialized device used in PRP networks, called RedBox, with the role of connecting
Single Attached Nodes (SANs) to a redundant network.
UR relays implement the DANP functionality. The RedBox functionality is not implemented.
The original standard IEC 62439-3 (2010) was amended to align PRP with the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR)
5 protocol. To achieve this, the original PRP was modified at the cost of losing compatibility with the PRP 2010 version. The
revised standard IEC 62439-3 (2012) is commonly referred to as PRP-1, while the original standard is PRP-0. The UR relays
support PRP-1.
The relay implements PRP on two of its Ethernet ports, specifically Ports 2 and 3 of the CPU module. Use the previous
section (network port configuration) to configure PRP.
PRP is purchased as a separate option. If purchased (valid order code), PRP can be enabled in configuration through a
setting available on the network configuration menu, REDUNDANCY, which already has the capability of enabling failover
redundancy. The options on this setting must be changed to accommodate two types of redundancy: failover and PRP.
When REDUNDANCY is set to either failover or PRP, the ports dedicated for PRP (Ports 2 and 3) operate in redundant mode.
In this mode, Port 3 uses the MAC, IP address, and mask of Port 2.

In the figure, the UR connects through the following two Ethernet ports:
• Port 1 (IP address 10.1.1.2) connects the UR to LAN 10.1.1.0/24 and to the Internet through Router1. Router1 has an
interface on 10.1.1.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.1.1.
• Port 2 (IP address 10.1.2.2) connects the UR to LAN 10.1.2.0/24 and to the EnerVista software through Router2. Router2
has an interface on 10.1.2.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.2.1.
The configuration before release 7.10 was as follows:
• PRT1 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2
PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
PRT1 GWY IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2
PRT2 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
The behavior before release 7.10 was as follows. When sending packets to EnerVista, the UR noticed that the destination
was not on a connected network and it tried to find a route to destination. Since the default route was the only route it
knew, it used it. Yet EnerVista was on a private network, which was not reachable through Router1. Hence a destination
unreachable message was received from the router.
The configuration starting with release 7.10 is as follows:
• PRT1 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2
PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2
PRT2 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
IPV4 DEFAULT ROUTE: GATEWAY ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
STATIC NETWORK ROUTE 1: RT1 DESTINATION = 10.1.3.0/24; RT1 NET MASK = 255.255.255.0; and RT1 GATEWAY =
10.1.2.1
The behavior since release 7.10 is as follows. There is one added static network route to the destination 10.1.3.0/24, where
a computer running EnerVista is located. This static route uses a different gateway (10.1.2.1) than the default route. This
gateway is the address of Router2, which has knowledge about 10.1.3.0 and is able to route packets coming from the UR
and destined to EnerVista.
The serial communication ports utilize the Modbus protocol, unless the port is configured for DNP or IEC 60870-5-103
operation. This allows the EnerVista UR Setup software to be used on the port. UR devices operate as Modbus slave devices
only.
For more information on the protocol, including the memory map table, see the UR Family Communications Guide.
MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS — When using the Modbus protocol on the RS232 port, the T35 responds regardless of the
MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS programmed. For the RS485 port, each device on the serial bus must have a unique slave address
from 1 to 254. Address 0 and addresses from 248 and up are reserved by the Modbus protocol specification, and so their
use here is not recommended. Address 0 is the broadcast address to which all Modbus slave devices listen. Addresses do
not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same address or conflicts resulting in errors occur. Generally,
starting at 1, set each device added to the link to use the next higher address. When using Modbus TCP/IP, the client must
use the programmed MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS value in the Unit Identifier field.
MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER — Modbus over TCP/IP can also be used on any of the Ethernet ports. The listening TCP port 502
is reserved for Modbus communications, and only in exceptional cases when MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER is set to any other
port. The MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER setting sets the TCP port used by Modbus on Ethernet. A MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER of
0 disables Modbus over TCP/IP, meaning closes the Modbus TCP port. When the port number is changed to 0, the change
takes effect when the T35 is restarted. When it is set to 0, use the front panel or serial port to communicate with the relay.
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.
The PROTOCOL menu allows selection of one of the following protocols: DNP 3.0, IEC60870-104, or IEC60870-103.
SCADA PROTOCOL — This setting selects the SCADA protocol on which the unit communicates, either DNP3.0, IEC 60870-104
or IEC 60870-103, with DNP being the default. Options depend on order code. For any change to take effect, restart the
5 unit.
The following table shows the protocols that are operational on the RS232, RS485, and Ethernet ports. It shows all possible
combinations of the PROTOCOL and DNP CHANNEL 1(2) PORT settings.
SFTP — Enables and disables file transfer to/from the relay by Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).
This setting displays when using IEC 61850 without CyberSentry.
MMS PORT FUNCTION — When set to “Disabled”, MMS port 102 is closed and MMS client connection to UR fails. This setting
does not, however, affect the GOOSE operation. When set to “Enabled”, MMS client can connect to UR IEDs over port 102.
CID FILE WRITE FROM MMS — When set to “Enabled”, CID file write from MMS client is enabled, otherwise CID file write from
MMS client is not allowed.
MULTILEVEL CONTROL — When set to “Enabled”, control authority from multiple levels (Bay, Station and Remote) are allowed
simultaneously based on Local/Remote status and status authority status. Otherwise only one level has the authority to
control, based on Local/Remote status and status authority status.
MULTILEVEL CONTROL setting is only available for order codes with the IEC 61850 software option. It is only
applicable to Breaker and Disconnect switch control related logical nodes (XCBR/XSWI and CSWI), which
instantiates Loc and LocSta data objects. For all other controllable data objects in other logical nodes (like virtual
inputs in GGIO2) MULTILEVEL CONTROL setting is not applicable.
IED LOCAL STATUS — Selects an operand, that indicates the IED is in Local or Remote mode. When the operand value is set,
the IED is in Local mode and any commands from remote protocols (IEC 61850) are rejected.
IED LOCAL STATUS setting is only available for order codes with the IEC 61850 software option. It is applicable for all
IEC 61850 commands including Breaker and Disconnect switch controls, and the commands are allowed only
when the FlexOperand assigned to IED LOCAL STATUS setting is at logic “0”. When the FlexOperand assigned to IED
Local Status is at logic “1”, all the control actions from IEC 61850 client are blocked.

The Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) allows for the optimization of control and data acquisition between the equipment
in the substation and the central control center. The protocol is scalable; that is, it is designed to be compatible with the
latest high speed LAN technology yet still be implemented over slower speed serial links.
The DNP improves upon many master-slave protocols by improving overall communication performance requirements
and provides time-stamping with millisecond accuracy.
The T35 supports DNP version 3.0.
DNP is enabled when the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL setting is set to DNP 3.0. The T35
can be used as a DNP slave device connected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since
the T35 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively
communicate with the T35 at one time.
DNP is not available using the USB port on the graphical front panel.
See the UR Family Communications Guide for more information on DNP.
DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT: Range: NONE, COM1 - RS485, COM2 - RS485, FRONT
NONE PANEL - RS232, NETWORK - TCP
The DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT and DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT settings select the communications port assigned to the DNP protocol
for each channel. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, DNP is the only protocol running on that port; Modbus or IEC
60870-5-103 are disabled. If DNP is assigned to RS485, the protocol must be set to DNP on the serial port configuration as
well, for the change to take effect. When the DNP CHANNEL 1(2) PORT setting is set to “Network - TCP,” the channel 1(2) DNP
protocol can be used over TCP/IP on the Ethernet ports. When this value is set to “Network - UDP,” the DNP protocol can be
used over UDP/IP on channel 1 only. The “Front Panel - RS232” setting does not apply to the graphical front panel; when
selected the DNP client cannot establish a connection on a USB port.
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.
The DNP ADDRESS setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the T35 on a DNP communications link. Assign a
unique address to each DNP slave.
The T35 can specify a maximum of five clients for its DNP connections. These are IP addresses for the controllers to which
the T35 can connect. The settings follow.

The DNP TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER setting is for normal DNP operation. To close the port, set the port number to 0.
The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE FUNCTION is set to “Disabled” for RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance
mechanism. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE TIMEOUT sets the time the T35 waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited
response. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES setting determines the number of times the T35 retransmits an
unsolicited response without receiving confirmation from the master; a value of “255” allows infinite re-tries. The DNP
UNSOL RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS is the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which
solicited responses are sent is determined by the T35 from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP message.
The DNP scale factor settings are numbers used to scale analog input point values. These settings group the T35 analog
input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other. Each setting represents the
scale factor for all analog input points of that type. For example, if the DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to “1000,”
all DNP analog input points that are voltages are returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V
on the T35 is returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain
ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value is 10 times larger).
The DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND settings determine when to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input data. These
settings group the T35 analog input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other.
Each setting represents the default deadband value for all analog input points of that type. For example, to trigger
unsolicited responses from the T35 when any current values change by 15 A, the DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEADBAND setting
is set to “15”. Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to change
deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point.
The T35 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the DNP ENERGY SCALE FACTOR and DNP ENERGY DEFAULT
DEADBAND settings are not applicable.
The DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the T35.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to
be necessary, which provides more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
Check the “DNP Points Lists” T35 web page to view the analog inputs and/or binary inputs points lists. This page
can be viewed with a web browser by entering the IP address of the T35 Ethernet port employed to access the T35
Main Menu, then by clicking the Device Information Menu item, then the DNP Points Lists item.
The DNP OBJECT 1 DEFAULT VARIATION to DNP OBJECT 32 DEFAULT VARIATION settings select the DNP default variation
number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation response when variation
0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. See the DNP Implementation section in the UR Family Communications
Guide.
The DNP binary outputs typically map one-to-one to IED data points. That is, each DNP binary output controls a single
physical or virtual control point in an IED. In the T35 relay, DNP binary outputs are mapped to virtual inputs. However, some
legacy DNP implementations use a mapping of one DNP binary output to two physical or virtual control points to support
the concept of trip/close (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP
master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The T35 can be configured to
support paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs. The DNP NUMBER OF PAIRED
CONTROL POINTS setting allows configuration of 0 to 64 binary output paired controls. The control points pairing starts from
the highest number of binary outputs available i.e. 128. Points not configured as paired operate on a one-to-one basis. So
if the user selects a value of “2” for this setting, the pairing starts from the highest number; 128. Control points 128-127 and
126-125 operate in pairs and the rest (1-124) are operated individually.
The DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting specifies a time delay for the detection of dead network TCP connections. If
there is no data traffic on a DNP TCP connection for greater than the time specified by this setting, the connection is
aborted by the T35. This frees up the connection to be re-used by a client.

For any change to DNP settings, restart the relay.
Up to 256 binary and up to 256 analog input points for the DNP protocol, or the MSP and MME points for IEC 60870-5-104
protocol, can be configured. The value for each point is user-programmable and can be configured by assigning FlexLogic
operands for binary inputs / MSP points or FlexAnalog parameters for analog inputs / MME points.
The menu for the binary input points (DNP) or MSP points (IEC 60870-5-104) follows.

Up to 256 binary input points can be configured for the DNP or IEC 60870-5-104 protocols. The points are configured by
assigning an appropriate FlexLogic operand. See the Introduction to FlexLogic section in this chapter for the range of
assignable operands.
Changes to the DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists take effect when the T35 is restarted.

Up to 256 analog input points can be configured for the DNP or IEC 60870-5-104 protocols. The analog point list is
configured by assigning an appropriate FlexAnalog parameter to each point. See the FlexAnalog Parameters section in
Appendix A for the range of assignable parameters.
Changes to the DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists take effect when the T35 is restarted.
The DNP / IEC 60870-5-104 point lists always begin with point 0 and end at the first “Off” value. Since DNP / IEC
60870-5-104 point lists must be in one continuous block, any points assigned after the first “Off” point are ignored.
5 The T35 is provided with optional IEC 61850 communications, specified as a software option at the time of
ordering.
The IEC 61850 settings are accessible in EnerVista software or a substation configuration language (SCL) generating tool.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 or Settings > IEC 61850. The settings are not
accessible from the front panel of the device.
IEC 61850 messaging can form part of protection schemes. Consider IEC 61850 settings with the same criticality as
protection element settings. To ensure reliable performance of protection schemes utilizing IEC 61850 messaging,
route IEC 61850 traffic on a separate port from SCADA communications, or use redundant, independent ports, and
a high-speed network recovery method, such as PRP.
Overview
IEC 61850 is a series of international standards and technical reports applicable to power utility automation systems. It
includes semantics, abstract communication services, specific communication services, performance specifications,
network engineering guidelines, configuration description methodologies, and engineering processes. The standard
enables interoperability among intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from different suppliers and interoperability among
software configuration tools from different suppliers. Interoperability in this case is the ability for IEDs to operate on the
same network or communication path sharing information and commands, and for configuration tools to understand the
communication aspects of each other's configuration files.
The UR family supports a large subset of IEC 61850 features. These are detailed in the UR Family Communications Guide
and include the information model, GOOSE publish, GOOSE subscribe, buffered reports, unbuffered reports, and
Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) query, read, write, and control services. In addition, the URs and their
EnerVista UR Setup software support IEC 61850 Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file import/export and merging.
Many settings of UR protection, control, and monitoring elements, that is to say elements that are not concerned with the
IEC 61850 protocol, can nevertheless be accessed via IEC 61850. These settings are documented elsewhere in this Settings
chapter. This section of the Settings chapter deals solely with the settings that configure the IEC 61850 protocol itself.
The maximum number of simultaneous clients supported by the UR family is six.
The IEC 61850 window is divided into a navigation pane on the left and a settings panel on the right. You expand and click
an option on the left to display its panel on the right. The following figure shows an example for Server Configuration. The
SETTING column contains the names of the settings, and the PARAMETER column is used to enter the settings. Hovering
the mouse over a setting name displays a tool-tip showing the IEC 61850 information model name of the setting or its
location in SCL files.
The content displayed varies with UR firmware version. For example, the version 8.4 fields shown differ from the version
7.9 fields.
Opening the IEC 61850 window while online causes the EnerVista UR Setup software to retrieve and import an SCL file from
the T35. This System Configuration Description (SCD) file contains all the settings in the UR at the time of the file request,
both those that are mapped into the IEC 61850 information model (that is, the "public" sections) and those that are not in
the model (that is, the "private" section). The software imports all of these settings into the current session, not just those in
the IEC 61850 window. To avoid loss of any unsaved setting changes made in other panes during the current session, all
other panes for the T35 must be closed before the IEC 61850 pane opens, and the software prompts for this when required.
Panels for other devices can be open concurrently to facilitate parameter coordination.
When CyberSentry security is enabled, editable settings depend on the user role logged in. For example, an Administrator
and Engineer can change settings. If prompted for a "Settings password," it means the Administrator or Engineer
password.
The Restore button restores settings in the window to their last saved values. The Default button reverts settings in the
window to factory default values on th current view or Oscillography, Data Logger, or FlexLogic Equation Editor pre-
configured values. The Reset button reverts all IEC 61850 settings to the factory default values, not just the current
window. (In other settings windows, the button reverts settings in the window to factory default values.)
When a setting is enabled, its pane continues to read Disabled until relaunched. There is no polling capability to
automatically update the IEC 61850 readings, so the panel needs to be closed then opened for the correct status to
display. Good practice is to close any panel not in use because changes being made by other users are reflected only upon
relaunch of the panel.
Some of the IEC 61850 settings use floating point data, which guarantees accurate representation of real numbers up to
seven digits. Numbers with more than seven digits are approximated within a certain precision. This can result in
differences between what is entered and what is saved, and can result in differences shown on a settings comparison
report.
Server configuration
The Server Configuration panel contains IEC 61850 settings relevant to the server functions of the IED implementation.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Server Configuration.
The following settings are available, where <iedName> is a syntactic variable representing the present value of the IED
NAME setting. The settings vary with firmware version, IEC 61850 edition, and device capability.
5 IED NAME
Range: 1 to 58 VisibleString characters
Default: TEMPLATE
The value entered sets the name used by IEC 61850 for the T35. An IED name unique within the network must be entered
for proper operation. Valid characters are upper and lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (_) character. The first
character must be a letter.
The IED NAME and the Product LD inst name comprise the <LDName> for a product. The longest LD inst are "Master"
and "System" at six characters, with Master being fixed and the others configurable with the configurable Logical device
feature. The IED NAME is therefore restricted to 58 characters to meet a 64 character limit.
SUBNETWORK1(5) NAME
Range: 0 to 255 ASCII characters
Default: W1, W2, W3, W4, W5
Subnetworks 1 to 3 display for Editions 1 and 2. Subnetworks 4 and 5 display for Edition 2 with Process Bus Module.
When importing an SCL file:
– Subnetwork 1 to 3 names are identified by the contained ConnectedAP element of the target IED
– If a ConnectedAP element is missing, the respective subnetwork name uses the default value
– When the IEC 61850 server Edition is set to 1 (under Product Setup > Communications > Protocol), one
ConnectedAP is available in the SCL file. Only the respective subnetwork name is populated and editable. The rest
of the subnetwork names are read-only with default values. After importing an Edition 1 SCL file, you can select
the Access Point that needs to be populated from the Edition 1 SCL file and you can edit the subnetwork name in
the EnerVista UR Setup software.
– Subnetwork 1 to 3 names need to be unique
When exporting an SCL file:
– Subnetwork 1 to 3 names are preserved
– When the IEC 61850 server Edition is set to 1, the selected Access Point and respective subnetwork names are
populated
Access Point
Range: S1, S2, S3
Default: S1
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 1. It is the subnetwork.
Location
Range: 0 to 255 ASCII characters
Default: Location
The value entered sets the value of the data attribute <LDName>/LPHD1.PhyNam.location. This data attribute is
provided by the protocol to allow the user to declare where the equipment is installed.
Latitude
Range: -90.000 to 90.000 degrees in steps of 0.001 degree
Default: 0.000 deg
The value entered sets the value of the data attribute <LDName>/LPHD1.PhyNam.latitude. This data attribute is provided
by the protocol to declare the geographical position of the device in WGS84 coordinates -latitude. Negative values
indicate a southern latitude. WGS refers to the world geodetic system, which is used in global positioning systems (GPS),
and 84 is the current version of the standard.
Longitude
Range: -180.000 to 180.000 degrees in steps of 0.001 degree
Default: 0.000 deg
The value entered sets the value of the data attribute <LDName>/LPHD1.PhyNam.longitude. This data attribute is
provided by the protocol to declare the geographical position of the device in WGS84 coordinates -longitude. Negative
values indicate a western longitude.
Altitude 5
Range: 0 to 10,0000 m in steps of 1 m
Default: 0.000 m
The value entered sets the value of the data attribute <LDName>/LPHD1.PhyNam.altitude. This data attribute is provided
by the protocol to declare the geographical position of the device in WGS84 coordinates - altitude.
LLN0.Mod.ctlModel
Range: status-only, direct-with-normal-security, sbo-with-normal-security
Default: sbo-with-normal-security
This setting specifies the control service that clients must use to provide control input to the IED MODE logic of the B30. An
"on" control to <LDName>/LLN0.Mod triggers the “On” behavior logic, a “test” control triggers the “Test” behavior logic, and
a “test/blocked” control triggers the “Test-Blocked” logic.
Configuration Type
Range: G2, E3-2.0
Default: G2
This setting is read only. It specifies the method used to describe GOOSE subscription configuration in SCL. See the UR
Family Communications Guide for details. In the G2 mode, the CID file contains IED elements for IEDs subscribed to by
this IED containing GOOSE subscription information. In the E3 2.0 mode, the CID file has only one IED element and
GOOSE subscription information is coded in data objects in the standard LGOS logical node used to monitor reception of
the subscribed GOOSE. UR 7.30 or later accepts either mode. The set value is for the entire EnerVista installation and is
preserved between sessions. To change this global field, click File > Preferences and access the IEC 61850 panel; the
device does not need to be connected.
Logical devices
The Edit Data Model panel contains IEC 61850 settings relevant to the configurable logical devices feature, wherein logical
devices can be created, naming can be reconfigured and logical nodes can be added, removed, or reassigned.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Edit Data Model.
Figure 5-22: Edit Data Model pane with devices center and nodes right
For the Master logical device, the following logical nodes are read-only:
• The LLN0 in the Master logical device, which includes setting group, GOOSE and report control blocks, and datasets
• LPHD1 — Models common issues for physical devices
• GGIO3 — For RxGOOSE Inputs
• Process Bus Module logical nodes
The Edit Data Model panel has middle and right panes. The middle pane has a list of the instantiated logical devices in the
sequence that they appear in SCL, with one device selected. The right pane has a list of the logical nodes presently
assigned to the selected logical device in lexicographic order by logical node name.
In UR version 8.3x and later, the default IEC 61850 data model in the new UR device configuration is very basic. It contains
just enough to allow the IEC 61850 server to run and accept CID files. The ICT tool for the new UR device is EnerVista setup.
The entire default UR IEC 61850 data model is also available and can be used. You have to use the ICT tool to add the
required logical devices and logical nodes for each application, and then send the CID file to configure the UR device. The
process for adding and configuring logical devices and logical nodes is as follows:
In the following example, the Protection logical device has been set to instance name "Prot," its function-related name to
"Feeder1Prot" and its configuration revision to "2016-03-07 08:46."
Right-clicking on a logical device display to invoke a menu allows:
• insertion of a new logical device immediately below the selected one
• deletion of the selected logical device
• editing of the selected logical device's parameters.
Figure 5-23: Menu for logical device
If there are already 16 logical devices instantiated, the insert option is disabled and grayed-out.
If the selected logical device is Master, or it contains any logical nodes other than LLN0, the delete option is disabled and
grayed-out.
The Default LN Name(s) in this LD option resets logical node names to their default values. When the logical node name is
edited, the logical nodes pane displays the edited name followed by the default logical node name in brackets. The right-
click menu at the IED, logical device, and logical node level provides an option to default the logical node name(s) within
the scope of selection. That means that resetting the logical node names to their default values at the IED level, will do the
same for all logical node names in the network. The same applies at the logical device level too. If the insert option is
selected, or the edit option is selected for other than the Master logical device, a logical device parameters edit dialog
opens.
If the edit option is selected for the Master logical device, the Product LD inst name setting is not editable.
Figure 5-25: Edit logical device
After confirming the entered values for Product LD inst name and Functional ldName, they are checked for uniqueness in
the UR, and are updated in the pane.
The settings are explained as follows, where <iedName> is a syntactic variable representing the present value of the IED
NAME setting. When adding or editing a logical device entry, these are the fields that need to be completed.
The factory default configuration is for six logical devices with Product LD inst name settings and logical node
assignments as described above in the Logical devices section.
Functional ldName
Range: 0 to 64 VisibleString characters
Default: empty string
Each logical device has this setting. The value is configurable in all logical devices. Valid characters are upper and
lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (_) character. If the number of characters entered is greater than zero, the
setting sets the value of the function-related name used in communications. If an ldName is entered, it must form an
LDName that is unique within the network for proper operation. The standard recommends choosing this name
according to IEC 81346-1. If the number of characters entered is zero, no function-related name is defined.
Throughout the remainder of this IEC 61850 section, <LDName> is a syntactic variable representing the present
LDName of the master logical device. In other contexts, LDName can refer to some other logical device. Depending
on its context, <LDName> can be a product-related name or a function-related name.
configRev
Range: 0 to 255 ASCII characters
Default:
This data attribute is provided by the protocol to declare changes to the semantic of the data model of the UR. The intent
is that the user changes Master configRev each time that the semantic or data model changes, so that clients can
readily detect the change. A semantic change is a logical node getting a new semantic use; for example, an instance of
logical node CSWI is now serving a different physical switch, or an instance of a logical node PDIS is now used for
another zone. A data model change is a change in the presence of logical nodes, data objects, data attributes, or
instance names.
The scope of Maser configRev is the entire relay configuration, as the Master logical device is the root logical device.
Similar settings are provided for the other logical nodes; the scope of these other configRev settings is limited to the
5
corresponding logical device configuration.
paramRev
Range: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
Default: 0
The configurable data attribute paramRev has a scope that includes the entire device, and thus is modified whenever
any setting in the device changes. The UR increments the value of paramRev by one whenever one or multiple setting
changes occurs in one Modbus write request by any means (front panel, Modbus, or MMS) other than by SCL file
download. Incrementing occurs whether or not the setting is represented in the information model. When a UR device or
EnerVista UR Setup accepts an SCL file, paramRev is set to the value in that SCL file. When EnerVista UR Setup changes
one or more settings, and prepares an SCL file, it increments paramRev to the next higher multiple of 10 000.
Each logical device has a name: LDName. (Note the upper-case LD.) LDName has both a product-related form and
a function-related form as per IEC 61850 6:2009 8.5.3.
SCL files invariably use the product-related form of LDName. The product-related form is the concatenation of the
IED name of the device and the individual logical device's inst name. The IED name is the value of the "IED NAME"
setting on the Server Configuration panel, and the logical device inst names are each the value of the
corresponding "Product LD inst name" setting here. The "Product LD inst name" of the first logical device is fixed at
"Master."
Communications use the function-related form of LDName if a function-related name is defined, otherwise
communications use the product-related name. The function-related name is the value of the corresponding
"Functional ldName" setting if this setting is not empty, if empty the function-related name is not defined.
In SCL, the function-related name is specified by the LDevice element attribute ldName (note the lower case ld).
Absence of this attribute indicates the function-related name is not defined. In SCL the product-related name is
specified by the name attribute of the IED element and the inst attribute of the LDevice element.
In the right pane, logical nodes assigned permanently to the Master logical device and LLN0 in all logical devices are
grayed-out as shown earlier. These are not movable. Any other logical node can be dragged to any of the logical devices in
the middle pane, which causes that logical device to be re-assigned to that logical device. Right-clicking a logical node
device displays a menu that lists the logical devices that this logical node can be moved to. Clicking one of these re-assigns
the logical node. Other common keyboard and/or mouse action can be used to select one or more logical nodes and move
the selected nodes together.
Figure 5-26: Move logical node (Edition 2)
GOOSE
GOOSE, Routable GOOSE, and Process Bus GOOSE are supported, depending on hardware and software options.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GOOSE.
R-GOOSE is available through the IEC 61850 software option. If R-GOOSE security is required, the CyberSentry
software option also is required.
The Time to Live (TTL) parameter is fixed to 64 seconds for Routable GOOSE
GOOSE publishing (TxGOOSE) on the Process Bus Module has the following limitations:
• A maximum of two GoCBs can be assigned to Process Bus Module ports and only the fast datasets (that are prefixed
with TT6) can be assigned to the Process Bus Module GOOSE messages
• A maximum of 64 data attributes can be published with two TT6 datasets on the Process Bus Module
• Publishing Routable GOOSE messages on a Process Bus Module is not supported
• Dynamic priority is not supported
GOOSE reception (RxGOOSE) on the Process Bus Module has the following limitations:
• A GOOSE message can be subscribed using main CPU or Process Bus Module, but the same message cannot be
subscribed from both
• For GOOSE subscription, a functional constraint data attribute (FCDA) in a given dataset cannot be subscribed more
than once
• Subscribing to Routable GOOSE messages on a Process Bus Module is not supported
On a request to save in the IEC 61850 panel in the EnerVista software, an error message displays if any of the above rules
fail. When a SCL file is imported and the validation against the above rules fail, the SCL file is rejected with an appropriate
error message in the software and UR SCL log.
TxGOOSE
IEC 61850 GOOSE is a method for the simultaneous high-speed delivery of generic substation event information by a
publishing device to more than one subscribing device. A TxGOOSE is a UR element implementing a single IEC 61850
GOOSE message publishing service, controlled by a GOOSE control block (gcb). The subscribing function in URs is
performed by RxGOOSE elements. Each UR with an IEC 61850 order code option has 16 TxGOOSE elements with
associated control blocks. Each TxGOOSE can either use the original format specified in IEC 61850 8 1:2011 or the routable
GOOSE (R-GOOSE; IEC 61850 Edition 2) format specified in IEC TR 61850-90-5:2012. Each TxGOOSE uses an IEC 61850
5
dataset to determine the data that will be published.
Published TxGOOSE messages configured in the EnerVista UR Setup software can be subscribed by and the published data
values understood by other UR devices. Furthermore, they can be subscribed to and understood by any device of any
manufacturer that implements the IEC 61850 Edition 1 or 2 GOOSE subscription mechanism. The messages are published
with a multicast address so that the network sends the messages to all devices; any number of devices that want to
subscribe can.
For wide-area protection, control, and monitoring schemes, R-GOOSE wraps the original format GOOSE in IP/UDP to
multicast (or unicast) the data over a Wide Area Network (WAN). Sample applications are Wide area Remedial Action
Scheme (RAS) and Under Voltage / Frequency Load Shedding Schemes (UVLS/UFLS). R GOOSE uses IGMPv3 (Internet Group
Management Protocol version-3, RFC 3376) for multicasting.
The IEC data values that are published in GOOSE messages are known as members. The members are itemized in an
ordered list known as a data set. Each TxGOOSE can use any one of the configured data sets. (See the DataSets section
later for details.) The performance of a TxGOOSE is determined by its dataset. Booleans in fast GOOSE datasets are
designed for the TT6 transfer time class (3 ms), while Booleans in the slow datasets are designed for the TT3 class (100 ms).
Due to the significant amount of CPU time required to compose a TT6 TxGOOSE message and the limited amount of time
allowed by the TT6 class, at most four of these can be configured in a given UR. So only four fast GOOSE are allowed to be
configured, and the UR software has a check to disallow the use of more than four fast datasets in GOOSE. If six fast
datasets are configured outside of UR software and the file sent directly to the relay, the relay rejects the file. The design
does allow six fast datasets to be used in report control blocks, which allows fast scanned data in reports.
Each enabled TxGOOSE transmits its message whenever a value change is detected in one or more of its members. If the
changed value is a Boolean in a fast dataset, then the change detection occurs in the TT6 detection time of 3 ms or less. If
the member is an analog value in a fast dataset, the change detection occurs in the TT3 time of 100 ms. In slow GOOSE
Datasets, change detection for all dataset members occurs in the TT3 time of 100 ms. To guard against the possibility that
such a message is lost in the network before it reaches all subscribers, the message is retransmitted quickly several times.
To allow subscribers to verify that their link to the publisher and the publisher itself are healthy, each message is also
retransmitted periodically even while the values are unchanging. These latter messages are known as heartbeat
messages, while the former are known as event messages. Heartbeat messages also enable a subscriber newly online to
receive the published values in the absence of an event.
The details of TxGOOSE message construction are contained in the UR Family Communications Guide. Knowledge of these
details is not required to configure GOOSE.
The UR does not implement the fixed-length encoded GOOSE messages option specified in IEC 61850-8-1:2011 clause A.3;
the UR always uses the ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules (specified in ISO/IEC 8825-1) as specified in IEC 61850 Edition 1.0 and
optional in IEC 61850 Edition 2.
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GOOSE > TxGOOSE > TxGOOSE1 to access the
settings for the first TxGOOSE. The settings and functionality for the other entries are similar.

A data set needs to be set up and selected in the TxGOOSEx DataSet field for all content to display.
When saving changes, when a "dataset member is empty" message displays, you need to set the member in the bottom
right of the window.

format according to IEC 61850 90-5, and the TxGOOSE1 DST MAC address is set to 00 00 00 00 00 00 and cannot be
changed. The actual destination MAC address used for R-GOOSE transmission is derived from the configured multicast
IP address.
The destination MAC address can be used by the network to restrict message delivery to selected devices that need to
receive them, reducing network load. This address also can be used by hardware in receiving devices to filter out
messages that are of no interest to them, reducing processor burden. Different filtering algorithms are implemented by
different devices. The standard recommends that the algorithm used by hardware of the receiving device be considered
when assigning destination multicast addresses.
Subscribers can use this address to discriminate TxGOOSE1 messages from other GOOSE messages.
The UR supports R-GOOSE messages configured with a unicast destination IP address. This is a non-standard extension
to IEC 61850. In this configuration the UR needs to determine the appropriate destination MAC address to use. This is
done in the following manner. After relay startup, ARP requests are sent to the gateway address (approximately within
30 seconds after relay startup). When the ARP response is received, the ARP table is updated, and the unicast R-GOOSE
messages are published with the resolved MAC address. Every 20 minutes, the UR flushes the ARP table and rebuilds the
ARP table by sending the ARP requests.
• If the gateway router is offline, the UR retransmits the ARP requests at one second intervals for 10 seconds, and the
same sequence is repeated at approximately six minutes until the ARP response is received
• When the network link is disconnected, at the connection, the UR transmits the ARP messages to rebuild the ARP table
and when the ARP table is updated, the UR publishes the unicast messages. The recovery time could be up to five
minutes for publishing the unicast messages.
• Whenever there is a change in static route configuration, the UR transmits the ARP requests to the new gateway
address approximately 70 seconds after the static route configuration change.
The resolved MAC addresses are displayed in the UR web page.
When using a Process Bus Module (order code 85, 86, or 87) and configuring multiple TxGOOSE to publish, ensure that
the MAC addresses differ. When the MAC addresses are the same, a message displays to change them, for example
"TxGOOSE1 & TxGOOSE2 assigned to PBM have the same DstMAC address. Unique DstMAC addresses are required
TxGOOSE1 CONFREV
Range: 0 to 4294967295 in steps of 1
Default: 1
The entered value sets the confRev value in published GOOSE messages and can be used by subscribers to discriminate
TxGOOSE messages of the expected configuration revision from messages of a different revision. The standard requires
that CONFREV be incremented each time the members or the order of the members published is changed. The standard
states that the value of 0 is reserved.
TxGOOSE1 MIN TIME
Range: 0 to 100 ms in steps of 1 ms
Default: 4 ms
If the entered time is non-zero, when a member value change is detected, four event transmissions are sent, then
heartbeat transmissions resume. The interval between the first and second event transmissions, and between the
second and third, is the time set here. The interval between the third and the fourth event transmission is double the set
time. If the entered time is zero, only a single event transmission occurs, then heartbeat transmissions resume.
TxGOOSE1 MAX TIME
Range: 1 to 59 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 10 s
This setting specifies the time interval between heartbeat messages, meaning messages that are sent periodically while
no events are detected.
TxGOOSE1 TIME ALLOWED TO LIVE
Range: 1 to 60 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 20 s
The value entered sets the timeAllowedtoLive value in published TxGOOSE1 messages. The standard requires
subscribers to assume a failure has occurred when another TxGOOSE1 message is not received within the published 5
timeAllowedtoLive time.
Base this setting on the TxGOOSE MAX TIME and the tolerable number of contiguous message delivery misses. For
example, if the heartbeat time is 10 s, and missing up to three successive messages is tolerable, make the setting
10 * 3 + 1 = 31 s. The extra second is to ensure that arrival of the third heartbeat transmission beats the
timeAllowedtoLive timer.
In the imported CID file, if the TxGOOSE1 TIME ALLOWED TO LIVE is greater than 60 seconds, the setting value is
clamped to 60 seconds and an information log is provided in the SCL log file.
TxGOOSE1 CPU PORT ASSIGNMENT
Range: Disabled, Port-1; Port-2; Port-3; Ports-1,2; Ports-2,3; Ports-1,3; Ports-1,2,3
Default: Ports-1,2,3
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
This setting specifies the Ethernet ports for transmission of TxGOOSE1. When set to disabled, TxGOOSE1 messages are
not transmitted on any port no matter the state of GoEna. When set to Port-1, TxGOOSE1 is published over Ethernet
Port-1 only; while selecting Ports-1, 3 option, the same TxGOOSE1 is published to both Ports 1 and 3; and similarly, if set
to Ports-1, 2, 3, all ports publish TxGOOSE1.
When setting PRT2 REDUNDANCY to Failover or to PRP, the TxGOOSE 1 CPU PORT ASSIGNMENT needs to be set to
ports 2 and 3 (Ports-2,3).
Also, Port 3 configuration in the CID file is ignored. The Port 3 ConnectedAP elements has no meaning, as ports 2
and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask.
TxGOOSE1 PB PORT ASSIGNMENT
Range: Individual ports may or may not be checked (PB Port-1…PB Port-8)
Default: None of the ports are selected
This setting displays when the order code includes a non-HardFiber Process Bus Module.
When using a UR Process Bus Module, this setting specifies the Ethernet ports on the Process Bus Module for
transmission of TxGOOSE1. When none of the ports are selected, a TxGOOSE1 message is not transmitted on any port no
matter the state of GoEna. When set to PB Port-1, TxGOOSE1 is published over Process Bus Module Port-1 only. Similarly,
if all ports are selected (PB Port-1 to PB Port-8) all Process Bus Module ports publish TxGOOSE1.
When the TxGOOSE1 Mode is set to R-GOOSE, the setting is read-only.
A maximum of 192 data attributes (in one or more datasets) can be transmitted in all TxGOOSE messages that are
configured to transmit on the Process Bus Module.
R-TxGOOSE1 IP CLASS
Range: 0 to 256 in steps of 1
Default: 46
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
When the TxGOOSE1 MODE setting is other than R-GOOSE, the value of this setting is not used. Otherwise, this setting
selects the IPv4 Differentiated Services Code Point-DSCP (formerly called TypeOfService-TOS) value. This value provides
priority routing, when supported in the routers. The default value is for Expedited Forwarding (101110B, 46 or 2EH).
R-TxGOOSE1 DST IP
Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255 in steps of 1
Default: 224.0.0.0
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
When the TxGOOSE1 MODE setting is other than R-GOOSE, the value of this setting is not used. Otherwise, this setting
specifies destination IP address for the R-TXGOOSE1 that is entered in Standard IPV4 address format. The destination IP
address needs to be a valid multicast or unicast IP address. The value specified in this setting is used as the IPv4
destination IP address for publishing R-GOOSE1.
5 The default IP address 224.0.0.0 is reserved, and hence not a valid multicast IP address.
The source IP address is that of the UR port from which the R-GOOSE messages are transmitted.
R-TxGOOSE1 SECURITY
Range: None, Signature, SignatureAndEncryption
Default: None
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
This setting specifies level of security (authentication/encryption) used for TxGOOSE1. None specifies no security
mechanisms are to be used. Signature specifies only signature (no encryption) is to be used. SignatureAndEncryption
specifies that both signature and encryption are to be used.
RxGOOSE

GOOSE is an efficient method for simultaneous high-speed delivery of generic substation event information by a
publishing device to more than one subscribing device. An RxGOOSE is a UR element implementing a single IEC 61850
GOOSE message subscribing service. The publishing function in URs is performed by TxGOOSE elements, as described in
the previous section.
Each UR with an IEC 61850 order code option has 64 RxGOOSE elements. Each RxGOOSE element can subscribe to GOOSE
messages from a specified publisher. Each RxGOOSE can either use the original format specified in IEC 61850-811:2011 or
the routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE; IEC 61850 Edition 2) format specified in IEC TR 61850-90-5:2012. Subscribed message
members can be DataObjects, SubDataObjects, DataAttributes, or SubAttributes. In E2-2.0 mode, members are restricted
to basic types BOOLEAN, FLOAT32, INT32, Dbpos, TimeStamp, or Quality. Each subscribed message can contain up to 256
values. A member can be a structure containing several values; note that it is the number of values rather than the number
of members that are limited to 256.
GOOSE messages from any device of any manufacturer that implements the IEC 61850 Edition 1 or 2 GOOSE publish
service, or the IEC 61850-90-5 R-GOOSE service (IEC 61850 Edition 2) can be subscribed to. The UR accepts both the
variable-length encoded GOOSE messages specified in IEC 61850 8 1:2004 and the fixed-length encoded GOOSE
messages as specified in IEC 61850 8 1:2011 clause A.3.
Each enabled RxGOOSE monitors for interruption of the GOOSE messages it subscribes to based on the value in the
timeAllowedtoLive field of the last message received. If a new message is not received within that time interval, the
RxGOOSE assumes that connectivity is lost. FlexLogic operands (for example RxGOOSE1 On, RxGOOSE1 Off) reflect the
status of each RxGOOSE connectivity. An RxGOOSE connection is also considered lost after the UR finishes restart until a
message is received. While any RxGOOSE connectivity is lost, a common RxGOOSE Fail self-test is activated.
Messages that contain the value true in the ndsCom field are never accepted. Messages that contain the value true in the
simulation field are accepted only when the B30 LPHD1.Sim.stVal is true (simulation mode is enabled)..
RxGOOSE messages can be received through a UR CPU module Ethernet port or a UR Process Bus Module Ethernet port. A
maximum of 24 RxGOOSE messages can be received from the Process Bus Module.
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GOOSE > RxGOOSE > RxGOOSE Messages >
RxGOOSE1 to access the settings that specify the messages to be accepted by the first RxGOOSE element. The settings
and functionality for the other RxGOOSE are similar. The following settings are available. They allow RxGOOSE1 to
recognize the GOOSE messages to accept. Most of these settings are configured automatically by the EnerVista UR Setup
software when an association to an RxGOOSE Boolean Input, RxGOOSE DPS Input, and/or RxGOOSE Analog Input is made
as described in the following sections. For IEC 61850 Edition 2, settings R-RxGOOSE1 RECEPTION MODE, R-RxGOOSE1
SECURITY, and R-RxGOOSE SRC IP need to be completed manually as the information is not contained in publisher SCL.
Read-only settings are grey.
Figure 5-28: IEC 61850 RxGOOSE Messages panel (Edition 2)
RxGOOSE1 MODE
For Ed2: Main CPU GOOSE, Main CPU R-GOOSE, Process Bus Module GOOSE
For Ed1: GOOSE
Default: Main CPU GOOSE
When set to "Main CPU GOOSE," the relay subscribes to RxGOOSE1 messages if received on any of the three main CPU
ports and if they comply with IEC 61850-8-1:2011 GOOSE format.
When set to "Main CPU R-GOOSE," the relay subscribes to RxGOOSE1 messages if received on any of the three main CPU
ports and if they comply with the R-GOOSE format according to IEC 61850-90-5.
When set to "Process Bus Module GOOSE," the relay subscribes to RxGOOSE1 messages if received on any of the eight
UR Process Bus Module ports and if they comply with IEC 61850-8-1:2011 GOOSE format.
RxGOOSE1 goID
Range: 0 to 129 VisibleString characters
Default: empty string
If the entered value has one or more characters, the goID field of incoming GOOSE messages must exactly match this
value for the message to be accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. If the entered value is the empty string, RxGOOSE1
does not check the value received in the goID field. Special characters are not allowed, such as <, >, &, ’, and ".
This setting needs match the value of the publisher's TxGOOSE GoID setting.
RxGOOSE1 Dst MAC
Range: any 12 digit hexadecimal number
Default: 01-0C-CD-01-00-00
When the RxGOOSE1 MODE setting is R-GOOSE, the value of this setting is not used, the destination Media Access
Control (MAC) address for RxGOOSE1 messages is calculated based on the RxGOOSE DST IP address. Otherwise, set this
setting to the MAC address of the publisher. Only received GOOSE messages having a MAC address equal to this value
are accepted as valid RxGOOSE1 messages. An entered address of zero disables RxGOOSE1.
The setting needs to match the value of the publisher’s TxGOOSE DST MAC setting.
RxGOOSE1 ETYPE APPID
Range: 0 to 65535 in steps of 1
Default: 0
If the value entered is non-zero, the APPID field of incoming GOOSE messages must exactly match this value for the
message to be accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. If the value entered is zero, RxGOOSE1 does not check the value
received in the APPID field.
The setting needs to match the value of the publisher’s TxGOOSE ETYPE APPID setting.
5 RxGOOSE1 GoCBRef
Range: 0 to 129 alphanumeric, underscore, slash, and period characters, beginning with an alpha character
The gocbRef field of incoming GOOSE messages must match this value for the message to be accepted as a valid
RxGOOSE1 message. If the entered value is the empty string, RxGOOSE1 is disabled. If not the empty string, the entry
needs to be an ACSI ObjectReference to the publishing control block in the format:
<LDName>/LLN0.<GoCBName>
where <LDName> is the function-related name if the logical device containing the publishing control block has "ldName"
configured, otherwise the product-related name of that logical device, and <GoCBName> is the name of the publishing
control block.
The T35 translates the ACSI format required for this setting to the MMS format used in GOOSE messages:
<LDName>/LLN0$GO$<GoCBName>
If the publisher is a UR 7.3x series or later device, <LDName> is the value of the publisher's Master functional ldName
setting if that setting is not empty, otherwise it is the value of the publisher's IED NAME suffixed with "Master". If the
publisher is a UR 7.3x series device, <GoCBName> is "GoCB" suffixed with the two digit TxGOOSE instance number, for
example "GoCB01". If the publisher is a UR 7.4 series or later device, <GoCBName> is as specified earlier in the TxGOOSE
section of this chapter.
RxGOOSE1 datSet
Range: 0 to 32 alphanumeric and underscore characters, beginning with an alpha character
Default: empty string
If the entered value has one or more characters, the datSet field of incoming GOOSE messages must exactly match this
value prefixed by <LDName>/LLN0$ for the message to be accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. <LDName> is as
specified in the RxGOOSE GoCBRef setting above. If the entered value is the empty string, RxGOOSE1 does not check the
value received in the datSet field.
If the publisher is a UR 7.3x series device, set this setting to the value of the publisher's DataSetxx name setting, where xx
is the instance number of the data set selected by the publisher's TxGOOSE datSet setting. If the publisher is a UR 7.40
series or later device, datSet is as specified in the DataSets section of this chapter.
RxGOOSE1 ConfRev
Range: 0 to 4294967295 in steps of 1
Default: 1
If the value entered is non-zero, the confRev field of incoming GOOSE messages must exactly match this value for the
message to be accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. If the entered value is zero, RxGOOSE1 does not check the value
received in the confRev field.
Set this setting to match the value of the publisher's TxGOOSE ConfRev setting.
R-RxGOOSE1 RECEPTION MODE
Range: SSM, ASM, Unicast
Default: SSM
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
When the RxGOOSE1 MODE setting is other than R-GOOSE the value of this setting is not used. Otherwise it selects the
R-GOOSE reception mode.
R-RxGOOSE RECEPTION MODE specifies the R-RxGOOSE DST IP range. When set to SSM, R-RxGOOSE DST IP must be in
the range of 232.0.0.1 to 232.255.255.255. When set to ASM, R-RxGOOSE DST IP must be in the range of 224.0.0.1 to
239.255.255.255, excluding the SSM range. Note that the SSM range is inside the ASM range and therefore the ASM use
excludes the SSM range. The default destination IP address 224.0.0.0 is reserved, and hence not a valid multicast IP
address.
The reception modes are related to Layer-3 R-GOOSE reception from routers/WAN. The subscription to multicasting of R-
GOOSE is supported using IGMP Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). It is made available in either Source Specific
Multicast (SSM) mode or Any Source Multicast (ASM) mode. Unicast (over UDP) mode can also be used. In case of
multicasting (IGMPv3 based SSM or ASM), the R-GOOSE subscriber device requests the Last Hop Router (LHR) to
subscribe to a specific multicasting group.
If the publisher is using a unicast destination IP address for this R-GOOSE, then set R-RxGOOSE1 RECEPTION MODE to 5
Unicast. Otherwise set R-RxGOOSE1 RECEPTION MODE to the SSM or ASM mode used by the local routers/firewalls.
When the R-RxGOOSE1 RECEPTION MODE is set to SSM or ASM, the T35 sends the IGMP join group report (source
specific in case of SSM) every 60 seconds and responds to IGMP general queries issued by the router.
R-RxGOOSE1 SRC IP
Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255 in steps of 1
Default: 127.0.0.1
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
When the RxGOOSE1 MODE setting is other than R-GOOSE, the value of this setting is not used. When the RxGOOSE1
MODE setting is R-GOOSE and the R-RxGOOSE RECEPTION MODE setting is ASM, the value of this setting is not used.
Otherwise the Source IP Address field of incoming R-GOOSE messages must exactly match this value for the message to
be accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. Set this setting to the value of the source IP address used by the publisher.
For UR publishers, this value is in setting PRT# IP ADDRESS.
The UR does not validate the address entered. The default IP address 127.0.0.1 is a reserved, not a valid IP address. Enter
a valid IP source address.
R-RxGOOSE1 DST IP
Range: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255 in steps of 1
Default: 224.0.0.0
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
When the RxGOOSE1 MODE setting is other than R-GOOSE, the value of this setting is not used. Otherwise the
Destination IP Address field of incoming R GOOSE messages must exactly match this value for the message to be
accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. Set this setting to the same value as the R-GOOSE publisher's Destination IP
Address. For UR publishers, this value is in setting R-TxGOOSE# DST IP.
The destination IP address needs to be a valid multicast or unicast IP address. The UR does not validate the address
entered. The default IP address 224.0.0.0 is reserved, and hence not a valid multicast IP address.
R-RxGOOSE1 SECURITY
Range: None, Signature, SignatureAndEncryption
Default: None
This setting applies to IEC 61850 Edition 2.
This setting specifies the level of security (authentication/encryption) used for RxGOOSE1. None indicates no security
mechanisms are in use. Signature indicates only signature (no encryption) is in use. SignatureAndEncryption indicates
that both signature and encryption are in use. Normally this setting is set to match the GOOSE publisher's security
method.
RxGOOSE1 Member 1
Range: End of List, BOOLEAN, INT8U, INT16U, INT32U, FLOAT32, INT32, Dbpos (DPS), Quality, TimeStamp, ENUM, STRUCT
Default: End of List
This setting specifies the type that the first member of incoming GOOSE messages must be for the message to be
accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message. There are similar settings for each of the up to 64 members that the UR is able
to subscribe to in a given GOOSE message. The member before the first member setting set to "End of List" must be the
last member of the message for the message to be accepted as a valid RxGOOSE1 message.
If the publisher is a UR 7.3x series or later, set these settings to match the basic type of the members of the publisher's
data set selected by the publisher's TxGOOSE datSet setting.
If the publisher dataset includes members with structured data, that is, data attributes, sub-data objects, and/or data
attributes with sub-data attributes, configuration must use one of the UR Setup RxGOOSE Inputs pages. In this case the
Member setting displays as the product-related name used by the publishing IED of the data object or data attribute, in
standard SCSM format (e.g. Publisher1LD1/LLN0$ST$Off$stVal).
5 Note that a dataset can hold at most 256 basic data attribute values, and that a single structured data object or
attribute can contain multiple basic data attribute values. UR Setup software does not allow more than 256 basic data
attribute values to be entered, in which case the last several members settings cannot be changed from End of List.
Note that the publisher's name alone does not contain all the information required for subscription, additional publisher
information model information is stored elsewhere. For this reason, manual entry of the name is not supported.
When this setting is configured manually, "Struct" and "Enum" are not allowed for selection. However, those two
values are placeholders in the software, when the RxGOOSE1 Members are configured using the ADD IED (via
publisher SCL file) option in the RxGOOSE Boolean/DPS/Analog Inputs screen.
RxGOOSE inputs
The values received by RxGOOSE elements need to be converted to FlexLogic or FlexAnalog operands so that they can be
used by other UR elements. This conversion is done by RxGOOSE Boolean, RxGOOSE DPS, and RxGOOSE Analog elements.
Each RxGOOSE Boolean can convert the value of a specified Boolean value received by a specified RxGOOSE to a FlexLogic
operand. Each RxGOOSE DPS can convert the value of a specified Dbpos (Double bit position) value to four FlexLogic
operands, one for each of the four possible Dbpos states. Each RxGOOSE Analog can convert the value of a specified
FLOAT32, INT8U, INT16U, INT32U, INT32 and ENUM value to a FlexAnalog operand. Each of these operands reverts to its
default state when the RxGOOSE connectivity is lost. Other types of values can be present in subscribed GOOSE messages
but cannot be converted to operands.
When an RxGOOSE Input is mapped to a value in the GOOSE message, the associated q value is validated, if the q value is
included in that GOOSE message as part of the data object or if it is part of the same dataset. For such automatic mapping,
the index of associated quality value can be seen in the RxGOOSE Member field as read-only.
RxGOOSE Boolean, RxGOOSE DPS, and RxGOOSE Analog elements are mapped to various data objects in
<iedName>Master/GGIO3. This allows reading of their values via MMS and allows references to them in SCL files. GGIO3
has no settings, nor is it visible in the EnerVista UR Setup software. See the UR Family Communications Guide for more
information on GGIO3.
For each configured RxGOOSE Input, the UR monitors the associated quality attribute if available. An RxGOOSE Input
reverts to its configured default value as follows:
• If the validity bits of the quality attribute (q.validity) are invalid
• If the validity bits of the quality attribute are questionable
• If the test bit of the quality attribute is set and IED Mode is other than Test or Test-Blocked
When the IED Mode setting is Test or Test-Blocked, the q.test bit is not validated. That is, when the relay is in test or test-
blocked mode, the q.test = False is treated same as q.test = True.
When an RxGOOSE Boolean/DPS/Analog Input is mapped to a remote GOOSE message input using the publisher SCL file,
the UR automatically maps and monitors the associated quality member as follows:
• If the publisher dataset includes members with structured data
• If the publisher dataset includes data attributes and associated quality attribute is available in the same dataset (in
any sequence)
If the publisher dataset member that is mapped to RxGOOSE input is structured data, the quality attribute is embedded in
the same structure.
If the publisher dataset member that is mapped to RxGOOSE input is a data attribute, the UR scans the rest of the
attributes in that publisher dataset for a matching quality attribute.
Set up subscriptions
Subscriptions are configured in the RxGOOSE Boolean Inputs, DPS Inputs, and Analog Inputs panels.
There are Add IED and Remove IED buttons. The Add IED button allows SCL files to be used, including ICD, CID, and SCD
(supported in version 7.40 and later). With SCL file import, for Edition 1 the IP address in the ConnectedAP element must
match one IP address of the device, while for Edition 2 one of the three IP addresses in the ConnectedAP element must 5
match. When the file format is SCD, the system lists all IEDs inside the SCD file and lets the user select the ones to add. The
figure shows a selection being made by importing a CID file using the Add IED function.
The "Do NOT default Remote Input ID..." check box applies when configuring GOOSE subscription. It determines if the ID
field is retained or defaulted. When enabled, the ID is retained. When disabled, the ID is defaulted. For example, you
change the ID field from "RxG Bool1" to RxG Bool1west," and the change is retained when the check box is enabled. The
check box applies on drag-and-drop, manual configuration, manual deletion, deletion using the Remove IED button, and
when clicking the Default button in the RxGOOSE message panel. The Default and Reset buttons in the RxGOOSE Boolean
Inputs, DPS Inputs, and Analog Inputs panels default all settings in the panel, including the ID, regardless of the check box.
The check box is available for to UR version 7.4x and later devices.
To subscribe:
1. Click the Add IED button and import a file.
2. Expand the entries by clicking the + box.
3. Drag-and-drop an entry into a Subscribed to field. The software checks for duplicates.
Most of the settings are configured by drag-and-drop. Enter manually the ID, DEFAULT STATE, and EVENTS settings when
the factory default values are not acceptable.
In the example shown, all of the entries at the bottom of the screen have been added to the subscription column.

The number of RxGOOSE Boolean (remote inputs) is 256.
Figure 5-30: RxGOOSE Boolean Input panel (Edition 2)
As outlined earlier, most of the settings are configured by drag-and-drop. Enter manually the ID, DEFAULT STATE, and
EVENTS settings when the factory default values are not acceptable.
RxGOOSE Boolean1 ID
Range: 0 to 20 characters
Default: RxG Bool1
This setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to the name of the RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand. The full
operand name is the value of this setting appended with " On". The basic and enhanced front panels display the first 17
characters of this setting plus " On" to fit the 20 character display.
The setting value is auto-populated and read-only for quality mapped to a configured remote input.
RxGOOSE Boolean1 RxGOOSE
Range: None, RxGOOSE1, RxGOOSE2, and so on
Default: None
This setting selects the RxGOOSE containing the value that drives the RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand. If set to
None, the RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand assumes its default state.
The setting value is auto-populated and read-only for quality mapped to a configured remote input.
RxGOOSE Boolean1 Member
Range: 1 to 64 in steps of 1
Default: 1
This setting selects the GOOSE message member that drives the RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand. A setting of 1
selects the first member, 2 selects the second member, and so on. Entering a number greater than the number of
members in the message and entering the number of a member which does not contain a BOOLEAN results in the
RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand assuming its default state. The Subscribed to column identifies the particular
Boolean subscribed to even if the member is a structure containing more than one Boolean.
The setting value is auto-populated and read-only for quality mapped to a configured remote input.
RxGOOSE Boolean1 DEFAULT STATE
Range: On, Off, Latest/On, Latest/Off
5
Default: Off
This setting selects the logic state for the RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand if the UR has just completed startup and
the selected RxGOOSE has not yet received a message, or the selected RxGOOSE has lost its connectivity with the
publisher. The following choices are available:
– "On" value defaults the input to logic 1
– "Off" value defaults the input to logic 0
– "Latest/On" freezes the input in case of lost connectivity. If the latest state is unknown, such as after UR power-up
but before the first communication, the input defaults to logic 1. When communication resumes, the input
becomes fully operational.
– "Latest/Off" freezes the input in case of lost connectivity. If the latest state is unknown, such as after UR power-up
but before the first communication, the input defaults to logic 0. When communication resumes, the input
becomes fully operational.
RxGOOSE Boolean1 EVENTS
Range: Disabled, Enabled
Default: Disabled
This setting selects whether Off to On transitions of the RxGOOSE Boolean1 FlexLogic operand are recorded by the event
recorder. If set to Enabled, Off to On transitions are recorded. On to Off transitions are never recorded, even if events are
enabled.
As outlined earlier, most of the settings are configured by drag-and-drop. Enter manually the ID, DEFAULT STATE, and
5 EVENTS settings when the factory default values are not acceptable.
RxGOOSE DPS1 ID
Range: 0 to 20 characters
Default: RxG DPS1
This setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to the names of the four RxGOOSE DPS1 FlexLogic operands. The
full operand name is the value of this setting appended with "Interm," "On," "Off," or "Bad." The basic and enhanced front
panels display the first 13 characters of this setting plus the state suffix to fit the 20 character display.
RxGOOSE DPS1 RxGOOSE
Range: None, RxGOOSE1, RxGOOSE2, and so on
Default: None
This setting selects the GOOSE message containing the value that drives the RxGOOSE DPS1 FlexLogic operand. If set to
None, the RxGOOSE DPS1 FlexLogic operand assumes its default state.
RxGOOSE DPS1 Member
Range: 1 to 64 in steps of 1
Default: 1
This setting selects the GOOSE message member that drives the RxGOOSE DPS1 FlexLogic operand. A setting of 1 selects
the first member, 2 selects the second member, and so on. Entering a number greater than the number of members in
the message and entering the number of a member that is not a Dbpos results in the RxGOOSE DPS1 FlexLogic operand
assuming its default state. In the case that the member is a structure containing more than one Dbpos, the Subscribed
to column identifies the particular Dbpos subscribed to.
As outlined earlier, most of the settings are configured by drag-and-drop. Enter manually the ID, DEFAULT STATE, and
EVENTS settings when the factory default values are not acceptable.
RxGOOSE Analog1 ID
Range: 0 to 20 characters
Default: RxG Analog1
This setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to RxGOOSE Analog1. Unlike RxGOOSE Booleans and RxGOOSE
DPS, the RxGOOSE Analog operands have fixed names, for example RxGOOSE Analog1.
Some UR elements have requirements for the type of input operands, for instance current type or voltage type. These
elements assume that RxGOOSE Analog operands are of whatever type is necessary to meet these requirements.
The per-unit base setting represents thousands, not single units. For example, a PU base of 1.000 is actually 1000 and a
PU base of 0.001 is 1.
When using RxGOOSE Analogs and PU base in FlexElements, the largest value that can be displayed in the FlexElement
actual values is 2,140,000.000.
RxGOOSE Analog1 Expression
Range: None, Equal to, Not Equal to, Greater than, Less than
Default: None
This setting specifies the expression type to be used with the RxGOOSE Analog In1 FlexAnalog operand. The result of the
expression is converted into Boolean status and assigned to the RxGOOSE Analog1 Expn St operand. When the
expression result is true, RxGOOSE Analog1 Expn St operand is set. When the expression set to None, no expression is
assigned and RxGOOSE Analog1 Expn St is always in reset state.
When the expression is set to other than "None", RxGOOSE Analog In1 is compared with the configured Expression value
based on the selected Expression type.
When the remote signal type is "Float," the "Equal to" and "Not Equal to" expressions may not give accurate results
due to precision errors in decimals.
Report settings
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Reports > Report Settings.
ReportSettings rptID
Range: Dyn, Conf
Default: Dyn
When set to Dyn, the RptID attribute in any buffered and unbuffered report control block can be modified by an MMS
client while the control block's RptEna attribute is false. The RptID is the name of the report.
ReportSettings optFields
Range: Dyn, Conf
Default: Dyn
When set to Dyn, the OptFlds attribute in any buffered and unbuffered report control block can be modified by an MMS
client while the control block's RptEna attribute is false.
ReportSettings bufTime
Range: Dyn, Conf
Default: Dyn
When set to Dyn, the BufTm attribute in any buffered and unbuffered report control block can be modified by an MMS
client while the control block's RptEna attribute is false.

Range: Dyn, Conf
Default: Dyn
When set to Dyn, the TrgOps attribute in any buffered and unbuffered report control block can be modified by an MMS
client while the control block's RptEna attribute is false.
ReportSettings intgPd
Range: Dyn, Conf
Default: Dyn
When set to Dyn, the IntgPd attribute in any buffered and unbuffered report control block can be modified by an MMS
client while the control block's RptEna attribute is false.
4.14.4ClientLN Configuration
Following ClientLN configuration screen is only available using Setup tool. They also can be configured in the
software using a CID or SCD file.
PATH: SETTINGS > IEC 61850 > Reports > Report Settings
Figure 5-33: IEC 61850 buffered report pane
Note that the following settings are not front panel accessible and only Enervista or other CID configurable
softwares.
Client Configuration
The button Import SCL allows to select a CID or a SCD file with Client IED configuration. When a SCL file is selected, a
window with the data model of all the IEDs available in the SCL file are displayed. When any Logical Node is selected,
the Data model and the authentication settings of the corresponding IED are auto-populated.
IED Name
Range: 64 Alphanumeric Characters and "-"
Default: empty string
The setting specifies the name of the Client IED where the ClientLN resides. IED name must be set, if the Client is
configured to any Report.
apRef
Range: 32 Alphanumeric Characters
Default: empty string
The name of the access point via which the IED shall be accessed. Optional, not needed
if the IED has only one access point.
LD Inst
Range: 64 Alphanumeric Characters and "-"
IEC 61850 reports are an efficient method used to deliver generic substation event information from a single server, such
as a B30), to a single client, such as a supervisory control IED. Reports are either buffered or unbuffered. Each configured
report provides a report control block (rcb) that allows the client to control the flow of reports from the B30 IED. The
following table lists the number of IEC 61850 report control blocks of each type provided by the B30.
Each report control uses an IEC 61850 dataset to determine the data that will be reported. Buffered report elements queue
value changes that occur while the client is offline and will be delivered when the client re-connects. Up to 512 events can
be queued. Unbuffered control blocks purge all value change events when the connection to the client is lost; any events
that occur while the client is not connected are lost.
Table 5-8: Number of report control blocks
Number
Buffered reports 30
Unbuffered reports 18
When using IEC 61850 Edition 2, configurable Reports interoperate with any client device of any manufacturer that
conforms to the IEC 61850 Edition 1 or 2 report client requirements.
When using IEC 61850 Edition 1, configurable Reports interoperate with any client device of any manufacturer that
conforms to the IEC 61850 Edition 1 report client requirements.
The entities whose values are reported by a Configurable Report are known as members. The members are itemized in an
ordered list known as a data set. Each Configurable Report can use any one of the data sets provided.
Each enabled Configurable Report transmits an update to its client whenever a value change is detected in one or more of
its members. Also, the control block can be configured to send integrity reports containing the present value of all
members either on demand from the client or periodically. A TCP handshaking mechanism causes messages that are not
read and acknowledged by the client to be retransmitted.
For a Configurable Report to operate, its members must be selected (that is, its data set configured) and a client must open
a connection to, configure, and enable its report control block. Control blocks and data sets can be pre-configured by
sending the T35 a CID file. See the UR Family Communications Guide for details. EnerVista UR Setup also can be used to
select the data set members and to pre-configure the control blocks.
Each buffered report has the following settings.
Buffered Report1 RptID
Range for Edition 2: 0 to 129 VisibleString characters
Range for Edition 1: 0 to 65 VisibleString characters
Default: empty string
The name of the report. The entered value sets the RptID value in Buffered Report1 messages, and it can be used by the
client to discriminate Buffered Report1 messages from other messages. If the number of characters entered is zero, the
value used for RptID in messages is an ObjectReference to the report's control block, that is, "<LDName>/
LLN0$BR$"BRCB01".
Buffered Report1 Name
5
Range: 0 to 32 VisibleString characters
Default: BRCB01
The entered value sets the report control block name value for Buffered Report1.
Buffered Report1 DatSet
Range: None, TT6DataSet1, TT6 DataSet2, …, TT3DataSet01, TT3DataSet02, …
Default: None
This setting selects the data set whose members' status is reported in Buffered Report1 messages using the UR Setup
software designator for the data set. The IEC 61850 name of the data sets are configured in the Datasets panel, as
described later.
An ObjectReference to the data set, which consists of the concatenation of the string "<LDName>/LLN0$" and the data
set name, is used in the datSet field of report messages, and it can be used by the client to discriminate Buffered Report1
messages from other messages.
The performance of the report is determined by the performance of the selected dataset. When the selection is
TT3DataSet01, TT3DataSet02, … it is possible that transient events can be missed.
To configure a DataSet, select it at the top of the window from the drop-down list, for example DataSet02 shown in the
previous figure. In the lower part of the window, drag and drop configuration items to the right side. For example select
the ST Ind001 stVal item and drag it to DataSet Member 1. Dataset members configured here affect other Report or
TxGOOSE control blocks that use the same DataSet.
Buffered Report1 ConfRev
Range: 0 to 4294967295 in steps of 1
Default: 1
The entered value sets the confRev value in Buffered Report1 messages, and it can be used by clients to discriminate
report messages of the expected configuration revision from messages of a different revision. The standard requires
that confRev be incremented each time the members or the order of the members is changed, and each time the data
set name is changed. The standard states that the value of 0 is reserved.
5 DataSets
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > DataSets.
As outlined, the members whose values are communicated by these services are itemized in an ordered list known as a
data set. Each UR with the IEC 61850 option has 18 data sets (six fast and 12 slow). Each data set can contain as many as
192 members. Any data set can be used simultaneously by any number of TxGOOSE elements and/or by any number of
Configurable Report elements.
5
UR Setup software requires data set members to be IEC 61850 data objects or data attributes with Functional Constraint
ST or MX. Certain FlexLogic and FlexAnalog operands have factory-assigned data attributes as tabulated in the UR Family
Communications Guide. All FlexLogic and FlexAnalog operands can be user-assigned to GGIO1 or GGIO4 data attributes,
so that operands without factory-assigned data attributes can still have their values published. See the GGIO1 and GGIO4
sections later for details.
Datasets used by TxGOOSE1, TxGOOSE2, and/or by reports also provide a chatter suppression service for their Boolean
members. Oscillation in a value, also known as chatter, can be caused by errors in logic programming, inadequate
hysteresis (deadband) on a threshold, or a failed station component. Chatter can flood a communications network with
GOOSE messages, degrading response time for all users. If chatter is detected in a Boolean member, TxGOOSE suspends
GOOSE event message triggering and report message triggering from that member for as long as the condition exists, and
for a minimum period of one second. While sending is suspended, a self-test message identifying the specific data item
detected as oscillating is activated.
For a summary of the panels in which the data sets are used, the path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications >
IEC 61850 > DataSets > Summary.
For the settings, navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > DataSets > TT6DataSet1 for the
first data set.
Copy and paste functions are available when right-clicking a DataSet. They allow the target dataset to be configured
based on its order code. If some dataset items are not supported, they are not pasted, and a warning message shows a list
of dataset items that were not supported and not pasted. The DataSet name is not copied or pasted. In short, use this
feature to copy a DataSet Member setting and paste it into another Member setting, a text file, or Word, as examples.
5 DataSet01 name
Range: 0 to 32 VisibleString characters
Default: DataSet01
The value entered sets the name of the data set, which is required to be unique within the UR for proper operation. The
value entered sets the name of the data set, which is required to be unique within the UR for proper operation. Fast
datasets start with TT6, and slow datasets start with TT3. Up to six fast datasets are allowed. Up to four fast GOOSE
datasets are allowed.
An ObjectReference to the data set consists of a string that is the concatenation of "<LDName>/LLN0$" and the
DataSet01 name setting value. An ObjectReference to the data set is published in the datSet field of TxGOOSE messages,
and it can be used by subscribers to discriminate the messages of that TxGOOSE from other GOOSE messages. An
ObjectReference to the data set is optionally published in the DatSet field of Report messages. Valid characters are
upper and lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (_) character. The first character must be a letter.
DataSet01 No. of DAs
Range: 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192
Default: 64
The maximum number of DAs that can be configured in this data set.
DataSet01 No. of Das configured
Range: actual number of DAs configured
Default: 0
The actual number of DAs currently configured in this data set.
DataSet01 shared by
Range: 0 to 32 VisibleString characters
Default:
Names of all control blocks that use this DataSet. Read-only field.
DataSet01 Member1
Range: End of List or any instantiated 61850 data object or data attribute with Functional Constraint ST or MX
Default: End of List
This setting specifies the first member in TxGOOSE1 messages. There is a similar setting for each of the up to 64
members that the UR allows in a Dataset. Only values of members before the first set to End of List are published.
Select the member from the drop-down list. Or right-click an entry to copy, paste, delete, or insert.

Demand
Deadband parameters of measured values related to the Demand metering are configured here.
Energy
Deadband parameters of measured values related to the Energy metering are configured here.
TmClkLTMS1.TmnsDelta.db
Range: 0.000 to 100.000 %
5 Default: 0.000 %
This setting is a deadband setting and is used by the relay to determine when to update the "mag" and "cVal" values
from the associated "instMag" and "instCVal" values. The value shall represent the percentage of difference between
maximum and minimum in units of 0.001%. The minimum and maximum values for TmnsDelta data object are
-500000000 ns and 500000000 ns respectively and for example, a setting value of 0.002% results in the dead banded
value of (500000000 - (-500000000)) * 0.002 / 100 = 20000 ns. The default setting value of 0.000% does not update the
"mag" and "cVal" values.
Deadband settings
A deadband is a range in which no action occurs, usually expressed as a percentage.
The IEC 61850 panels contain hundreds of deadband settings, such as in the following panels: Product Setup > Real Time
Clock, FlexLogic, Control Elements, and GGIO4. Each panel is not outlined here. The FlexLogic category applies to IEC 61850
Edition 2.
Deadband setting names all end either with "DB" or .db. As they all work the same way, but each on a different analog
value, a single description applicable to all deadband settings is given here. The analog value that each deadband setting
applies is usually obvious from the name of the setting. However, a tabulation of the analog values and their associated
deadband setting can be found in the UR Family Communications Guide.
GOOSE, buffered report, and unbuffered report messages are for the most part transmitted only when there is a value
change in one or more of their members. Most analog values continuously dither by an amount that is not significant.
Were a report to be sent each time an insignificant analog value change occurred, then the communications network
floods with GOOSE and report messages, degrading response time for all users.
To control this, a deadband setting is provided for each analog value. Also, in addition to the present actual value of each
analog ("instMag" in the following figure), there is a deadbanded value ("mag" in the figure), which is updated with the
present value only when the difference between the two exceeds the deadband setting (db in the figure). Changes to this
5
deadbanded value trigger transmissions when included in GOOSE and report data sets.
Figure 5-41: Deadband settings
Deadband settings are entered in UR Setup software in units of percent of the difference between the "max." and "min." of
the associated analog value. A zero deadband setting suppresses transmission triggering. The range of deadband settings
is 0.000 to 100.000% in steps of 0.001. The default value is 100.000%.
GGIO4 elements have individual settings for "min." and "max." The min. and max. for FlxEIGAPC#.OpSig.db (FLEXELEMENT #
OpSig) are -50 pu and +50 pu respectively. The min. value for all other quantities is 0. The max. values are as follows:
• Phase current — 46 x phase CT primary setting
• Neutral current — 46 x ground CT primary setting
• Ground current (sensitive ground CT) — 4.6 x sensitive ground CT primary setting
• Phase, phase-to-phase, and sequence voltage — 275 x phase VT ratio setting
• Auxiliary voltage — 275 x auxiliary VT ration setting
• Power (real, reactive, apparent, 3-phase, and 1-phase) — 4 × phase CT primary setting × 1.5 × VT Secondary setting ×
VT ratio setting
• Energy (real or imaginary) — 4 × phase CT primary setting × 1.5 × VT Secondary setting × VT ratio setting x 1 hour
• Frequency — 90 Hz
• Frequency rate of change — 90 Hz/s
• Power factor — 2
• Angle — 360 degrees
• Starts per hour lockout time - 60 minutes
• Time between starts lockout time - 300 minutes
• Restart delay lockout time - 50000 seconds
• Thermal lockout time - 65000 minutes
• Total motor lockout time - 65000 minutes
• Thermal lockout time - 65000 minutes
Select the deadband settings from knowledge of the characteristics of the power system quantity measured and
knowledge of the demands of the applications receiving the measurement via GOOSE or report such that changes of
significance to the application are promptly reported, yet the network is not overly burdened with event messages.
Signal sources
Deadband parameters of measured values related to the signal sources are configured here.

GGIO1
GGIO1 is a logical node that allows up to 128 UR FlexLogic operands to be user-mapped to IEC 61850 information model
5
data attributes.
For the value of a FlexLogic operand to be read via MMS, included in TxGOOSE messages, or included in buffered/
unbuffered reports, the value must be assigned to a data attribute. GGIO1 allows those FlexLogic operands that have not
yet been factory-assigned to a data attribute to be user-assigned to a generic data attribute, and thus have their values
included in IEC 61850 communications.
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO > GGIO1 to access the settings for GGIO1.
Figure 5-46: IEC 61850 GGIO1 panel (Edition 2)
GGIO1 INDICATION 1
Range: any FlexLogic operand
Default: OFF
This setting selects the FlexLogic operand whose value is mapped into the IEC 61850 data attribute
<LDName>/GGIO1.Ind001.stVal. See the FlexLogic section in this chapter for a list of FlexLogic operands.
GGIO1 INDICATION 2
Range: any FlexLogic operand
Default: OFF
Selects the FlexLogic operand mapped to <LDName>/GGIO1.Ind002.stVal, and so on.
GGIO2
Virtual Inputs are controllable FlexLogic operands that can be controlled via IEC 61850 commands to GGIO2, by DNP, by
Modbus, and by the UR front panel. The settings related to these IEC 61850 commands are described here.
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO > GGIO2 to access the settings that
configure the IEC 61850 protocol interface for Virtual Input commands.
Figure 5-47: GGIO2 panel (Edition 2)
In firmware version 8.40 and above, GGIO2 dual control point numbers 01 to 64 have been introduced. DPCSO1 to
DPCSO64 are double control points mapped to the Virtual operate pairs and operate on pairs of Virtual Inputs. One Virtual
input of the pair is set to “1” and the other Virtual input of the pair is set to “0”, so DPCSO01 would be mapped to Virtual
input pair 1,2, for example and DPCSO02 would be mapped to Virtual inputs pair 3,4.
Typical application of DPCSO is when the external client sends dual-point command, for example, point-1 command to
block a function; point-2 command to unblock a function. This point-1 command will correspond to first virtual input to be
“1” and second to be “0”; similarly, if point-2 command is received, the first virtual input set to “0”, and second input to be
“1”.
When both DPCSO control points are set to “0” (false condition), no application action is triggered.
GGIO4
GGIO4 is a logical node that allows up to 32 UR FlexAnalog operands to be user-mapped to an IEC 61850 information
model data attribute.
For the value of a FlexAnalog operand to be read via MMS, included in TxGOOSE messages, or included in buffered/
unbuffered reports, the value must be assigned to a data attribute. GGIO4 allows those FlexAnalog operands that have not
yet been factory-assigned to a data attribute to be user-assigned to a generic data attribute, and thus have their values
included in IEC 61850 communications.
Navigate to Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO > GGIO4 > GGIO4.AnIn1 to access the
settings for the first GGIO4 value. The settings and functionality for the others are similar.

ANALOG IN 1 VALUE
Range: any FlexAnalog operand
Default: OFF
This setting selects the FlexAnalog operand whose value is mapped into the IEC 61850 data attribute
<LDName>/GGIO4.AnIn01.instMag.f. The value of the FlexAnalog operand is converted automatically to the format and
scaling required by the standard, that is to say primary amperes, primary volts, and so on. See Appendix A for a list of
FlexAnalog operands.
ANALOG IN 1 DB
Range: 0.000 to 100.000% in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.000%
This setting specifies the deadband for the ANALOG IN 1 VALUE. The deadband is used to determine when to update the
deadbanded magnitude from the instantaneous magnitude. The deadband is a percentage of the difference between
the "max." and "min." values. Here, the "max." and "min." are as specified by the settings ANALOG IN 1 MAX and ANALOG IN
1 MIN.
See the Deadband Settings section earlier for a description of deadbanded values.
ANALOG IN 1 MIN
Range: -1000000000.000 to 1000000000.000 in steps of 0.001
Default: 0.000
This setting specifies the "min." value used in deadband calculations. The scaling of this setting is the same as used by
<LDName>/GGIO4.AnIn01.instMag.f. This setting is stored as an IEEE 754 / IEC 60559 floating point number. Because of
the large range of this setting, not all possible values can be stored. Some values are rounded to the closest possible
floating point number.
ANALOG IN 1 MAX
Range: -1000000000.000 to 1000000000.000 in steps of 0.001
Default: 1000000.000
This setting specifies the "max." value used in deadband calculations. The scaling of this setting is the same as used by
<LDName>/GGIO4.AnIn01.instMag.f. This setting is stored as an IEEE 754 / IEC 60559 floating point number. Because of
the large range of this setting, not all possible values can be stored. Some values are rounded to the closest possible
floating point number.

This string uniquely identifies the GOOSE message at the receiving device.
DESTINATION MAC
Range: any 12-digit multicast MAC value
Default: 01 00 00 00 00 00
This setting specifies the Ethernet destination Media Access Control (MAC) address in published fixed GOOSE messages.
The destination MAC address must be a multicast address. The second digit of the first octet must be an odd number.
Transmitted messages will have the multicast bit set to TRUE.
GOOSE VLAN PRIORITY
Range: 0 to 7 in steps of 1
Default: 4
This setting indicates the Ethernet priority of GOOSE messages. This allows GOOSE messages to have higher priority than
other Ethernet data. Network devices may forward a message with a higher priority value before a message with a
lower priority value, which can expedite the delivery of high priority messages on heavily loaded networks.
GOOSE VLAN ID
Range: 0 to 4095 in steps of 1
Default: 0
The entered value sets the VID value in the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag included in published fixed GOOSE messages. VID may
be used by network devices to direct messages to only selected devices, reduces the network burden.
GOOSE ETYPE APPID
Range: 0 to 16383 in steps of 1 5
Default: 0
The entered value sets the APPID value in published fixed GOOSE messages and is used by subscribers to discriminate
between other fixed GOOSE messages.

Default: None
This setting selects the specific bits of the received fixed GOOSE message to be mapped to that Remote Input.
REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE
Range: On, Off, Latest/On, Latest/Off
Default: Off
This setting selects the logic state for this point if the local relay has just completed start-up or the remote device
sending the point is declared to be non-communicating. The following choices are available:
– Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “On” defaults the input to logic 1.
– Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Off” value defaults the input to logic 0.
– Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Latest/On” freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest
state is not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will
default to logic 1.
When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.
– Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to “Latest/Off” freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest
state is not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will
default to logic 0.
When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.
The T35 contains an embedded web server and can display pages in a web browser. The web pages are organized as a
series of menus that can be accessed starting at the T35 “Main Menu.” Web pages are read-only and are available
showing IEC 60870-5-104 points lists, Modbus registers, event records, fault reports, and so on. First connect the T35 and a
computer to an Ethernet network, then enter the IP address of the T35 Ethernet port in a web browser.
To close the port, set the port number to 0.
Any change takes effect when the T35 is restarted.

Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) can be used to transfer files from the T35 over a network. The T35 operates as a
TFTP server. TFTP client software is available from various sources, including Microsoft Windows NT. The dir.txt file obtained
from the T35 contains a list and description of all available files, for example event records and oscillography.

IEC 60870-5-104 is a transmission protocol for network access, specifically for communication between a control station
and substation over a TCP/IP network.
The T35 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. This protocol is enabled when the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP
COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL setting is set to IEC 60870-5-104. The T35 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device
connected to a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the T35 maintains two
sets of IEC 60870-5-104 data change buffers, ideally no more than two masters actively communicate with the T35 at one
time.
The IEC ------- DEFAULT THRESHOLD settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses containing
M_ME_NC_1 analog data. These settings group the T35 analog data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other.
Each setting represents the default threshold value for all M_ME_NC_1 analog points of that type. For example, to trigger
spontaneous responses from the T35 when any current values change by 15 A, the IEC CURRENT DEFAULT THRESHOLD
setting is set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands. P_ME_NC_1 (parameter of measured
value, short floating point value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the default, for each individual
M_ME_NC_1 analog point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the T35, the default thresholds are in effect.
The IEC REDUNDANCY setting decides whether multiple client connections are accepted or not. If redundancy is set to Yes,
two simultaneous connections can be active at any given time.
IEC TCP PORT NUMBER — To close the port, set the port number to 0. Any change takes effect when the T35 is restarted.
IEC COMMON ADDRESS OF ASDU — The change takes effect when the T35 is restarted.
IEC CYCLIC DATA PERIOD — The change takes effect when the T35 is restarted.
The T35 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the IEC ENERGY DEFAULT THRESHOLD setting is not
applicable.

5.3.5.17 EGD protocol
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS EGD PROTOCOL
EGD PROTOCOL FAST PROD EXCH 1 See below
CONFIGURATION
The T35 is provided with optional Ethernet Global Data (EGD) communications capability, specified as a
software option at the time of ordering.
Ethernet Global Data (EGD) is a suite of protocols used for the real-time transfer of data for display and control purposes.
The relay can be configured to ‘produce’ EGD data exchanges, and other devices can be configured to ‘consume’ EGD data
exchanges. The number of produced exchanges (up to three), the data items in each exchange (up to 50), and the
exchange production rate can be configured.
The relay supports one fast EGD exchange and two slow EGD exchanges. There are 20 data items in the fast-produced
EGD exchange and 50 data items in each slow-produced exchange.
EGD cannot be used to transfer data between UR series relays. The relay supports EGD production only. An EGD exchange
is not be transmitted unless the destination address is non-zero, and at least the first data item address is set to a valid
Modbus register address. The default setting value of “0” is considered invalid.
Fast exchanges (50 to 1000 ms) are generally used in control schemes. The T35 has one fast exchange (exchange 1) and
two slow exchanges (exchange 2 and 3).
The settings menu for the fast EGD exchange follows.
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS EGD PROTOCOL FAST PROD EXCH 1 CONFIGURATION
FAST PROD EXCH 1 EXCH 1 FUNCTION: Range: Disable, Enable
CONFIGURATION Disable
Slow EGD exchanges (500 to 1000 ms) are generally used for the transfer and display of data items. The settings for the
fast and slow exchanges are as follows.
EXCH 1 DESTINATION — This setting specifies the destination IP address of the produced EGD exchange. This is usually
unicast or broadcast.
EXCH 1 DATA RATE — This setting specifies the rate at which this EGD exchange is transmitted. If the setting is 50 ms, the
exchange data is updated and sent once every 50 ms. If the setting is 1000 ms, the exchange data is updated and sent
once per second. EGD exchange 1 has a setting range of 50 to 1000 ms. Exchanges 2 and 3 have a setting range of 500 to
1000 ms.
EXCH 1 DATA ITEM 1 to 20/50 — These settings specify the data items that are part of this EGD exchange. Almost any data
from the T35 memory map can be configured to be included in an EGD exchange. The settings are the starting Modbus
register address for the data item in decimal format. See the Modbus memory map in the UR Series Communications
Guide for the addresses. To convert a hexadecimal address to decimal, add a 4 before it for an actual values address and a
3 before a settings address. For example, hexadecimal actual value 82A0 becomes 482A0, which converts to 295584
decimal.
To select a data item to be part of an exchange, it is only necessary to choose the starting Modbus address of the item.
That is, for items occupying more than one Modbus register (for example, 32 bit integers and floating point values), only the
first Modbus address is required. The EGD exchange configured with these settings contains the data items up to the first
setting that contains a Modbus address with no data, or 0. That is, if the first three settings contain valid Modbus addresses
and the fourth is 0, the produced EGD exchange contains three data items.
To apply a change to the setting EXCH X FUNCTION, for the fast or slow exchanges, the relay must be rebooted.
To fully close the EGD port (UDP port 18246), disable all three EGD data exchanges (one fast and two slow) and
reboot the relay.
The T35 is provided with optional IEC 60870-5-103 communications capability, specified as a software option
at the time of ordering.
IEC 60870-5-103 is a companion standard to the IEC 60870-5 suite of standards for transmission protocols. It defines
messages and procedures for interoperability between protection equipment and devices of a control system in a
substation for communicating on a serial line.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is enabled when the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL setting
is set to IEC 60870-5-103.
5 The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit serial communication, exchanging
information with a control system. In the context of this protocol, the protection equipment is the slave and the control
system is the master. The communication is based on a point-to-point principle. The master must be able to interpret the
IEC 60870-5-103 communication messages.
The UR implementation of IEC 60870-5-103 consists of the following functions:
• Report binary inputs
• Report analog values (measurands)
• Commands
• Time synchronization
The RS485 port supports IEC 60870-5-103.
The UR Family Communications Guide contains more information on the protocol.
IEC103 COMMON ADDRESS OF ASDU — This setting uniquely defines this T35 on the serial line. Select an ID between 0 and
254. This ID does not need to be in sequential order for all stations that communicate with a controller, but it is
recommended. Note that RS485 only allows a maximum of 32 slave stations on a communication line, so the entire range
of 254 addresses is never exhausted.
IEC103 SYNC TIMEOUT — This setting defines the time that the T35 waits for a synchronization message. The T35
synchronizes its clock using all available sources, with the source synching more frequently overwriting the time of the
other sources. Since the synchronization message received from the IEC 60870-5-103 master is less frequent than IRIG-B,
PTP, or SNTP, its time is overwritten by these three sources, if any of them is active. If the synchronization timeout occurs
and none of IRIG-B, PTP, or SNTP is active, the T35 sets the invalid bit in the time stamp of a time-tagged message.
The settings for the remaining menus are outlined as follows.
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS IEC 60870-5-103 IEC103 INPUTS BINARY
IEC103 INPUTS POINT 0 See below
BINARY
The binary input points are mapped using elements from a list of possible FlexLogic operands. A maximum of 96 binary
inputs (points) can be mapped this way.
The IEC 60870-5-103 point list always starts with point 0 and ends at the first "Off" value. Since the IEC 60870-5-103 point
5
list must be in a continuous block, any points assigned after the first "Off" point are ignored.
For each defined point, set appropriate values for the Function Type (FUN) and Information Number (INF), which form the
Information Object Identifier field of the ASDU, as defined in IEC 60870-5-103.
The binary input points are sent as Class 1 data. They are sent either as a response to a general interrogation received
from the controller or reported spontaneously. Spontaneous transmission occurs as a response to cyclic Class 2 requests.
If the T35 wants to transmit Class 1 data at that time, it demands access for Class 1 data transmission (ACD=1 in the
control field of the response).
For any change to take effect, restart the relay.
5 ASDU 4 ANALOG 1
Off
Range: FlexAnalog parameter
ANALOG # — This field contains the actual measurand to be sent in the response to the master. The measurands can be
mapped using elements from a list of FlexAnalog operands. The measurands sent are voltage, current, power, power
factor, and frequency. If any other FlexAnalog is chosen, the T35 sends 0 instead of its value. Note that the power is
transmitted in KW, not W. Measurands are transmitted as ASDU 3 or ASDU 9 (type identification value set to measurands I,
respectively measurands II).
Each IEC 60870-5-103 measurands list ends at the first unconfigured ("Off") value. Any measurand assigned after the first
"Off" value is ignored.
At least one measurand per ASDU must be configured in order to configure the following ASDU. For example, the user can
configure only one measurand for each ASDU, but the user is not allowed to skip ASDU 2 and configure measurands in
ASDU 3.
For any change to take effect, restart the relay.
ANALOG # FACTOR and OFFSET — For each measurand included in the ASDU, a factor and offset also can be configured. The
factor and offset allow for scaling to be performed on measurands. The final measurement sent to the IEC 60870-103
master is then "a*x + b," where x is the measurand, a is the multiplying factor and b is the offset. The master has to perform
the reversed operation in order to retrieve the actual value if such scaling is done. By default a = 1 and b = 0, so no scaling
is done if these values are left at their defaults. Examples of when scaling is appropriate are as follows:
• If the measured value contains decimals and it is important to preserve the resolution. Since the format for
transmitting the measurand does not permit decimals, a factor a>1 can be applied before transmission. For example,
a frequency F=59.9Hz can be transmitted as Ft = 10 * F = 10 * 59.9 = 599. In this case a = 10, b = 0. The master receives
599 and has to divide by 10 to retrieve the real value 59.9.
• If the measured value is larger than what fits in the format defined in IEC 103. The format defined in the standard
allows for signed integers up to 4095. By offsetting, unsigned integers up to 4096 + 4095 = 8191 are supported.
Scaling using factors <1 can be required in such cases. The calculation is outlined in the IEC 60870-5-103 chapter of
the UR Family Communications Guide. Two examples follow, where you decide factors a and b.
Example 1: Nominal power Pn = 100 MW = 100000 KW (power is transmitted in KW)
5
Since P can be both positive and negative:
Transmitted power Pt = (4095/(Pn*2.4)) * P = (4095/(100000 * 2.4) ) * P
= 0.017 * P
a = 0.017
b=0
Pt = 0.017 * P
For a max power 100000 KW * 2.4 = 240000 KW, we transmit
Pt = 0.017 * 240000 = 4080
A value above 240 MW is indicated by overflow.
COMMAND 1
COMMAND 31
Commands are received as General Command (Type Identification 20). The user can configure the action to perform when
an ASDU command comes.
A list of available mappings is provided on the T35. This includes 128 virtual inputs (see the following table). The ON and
OFF for the same ASDU command can be mapped to different virtual inputs.
Each command is identified by the unique combination made by the function type (FUN) and information number (INF). If
the master sends an ASDU command that does not have the FUN and INF of any configured command, the relay rejects it.

This setting applies to the USB port on the graphical front panel.
This setting enables/disables the USB port on the graphical front panel. When the port function is "Enabled," a standard
USB serial cable allows a computer running the EnerVista UR Setup software to retrieve, display, and write settings either
individually or collectively, to display status and actual values, to initiate controls, and to retrieve and display event records,
oscillography records, data logger records, and disturbance records. Installation of the EnerVista software automatically
installs the drivers required to use this USB port.
DNP is not available using the USB port on the graphical front panel.
The Modbus user map provides read-only access for up to 256 registers. The memory map can be read from the front
panel, the UR Family Communications Guide, or in a web browser. For the web browser, enter the IP address of the T35 and
click a Modbus Memory Map option.
On the front panel, the address to read a specific Modbus register depends on whether the requested value is a setting or
an actual value.
5
Up to firmware version 7.8x, the settings and actual values are in the same Modbus table. To obtain a memory map value,
enter its address on the front panel.
Starting in firmware version 7.90, the settings have their own Modbus memory table and the actual values are in their own
table. To obtain a memory map value, use the following sequence:
1. Obtain the hexadecimal Modbus address of the data item. It must have four digits, such as 024A.
2. Prefix the address by 3 for settings or by 4 for actual values.
3. Convert the resulting hexadecimal number to decimal.
4. Enter the resulting number in the first column of the Modbus user map. The corresponding value (if programmed)
displays in second column (VALUE). A value of "0" in subsequent register lines automatically returns values of Modbus
registers having the address of the previous line incremented by 1. These subsequent addresses are all in the same
Modbus table (settings or actual values) as the address that was entered.
An address value of "0" in the initial register means "none" and values of "0" display for all registers.
Different address values can be entered as required in any of the register positions.
Here are two examples of how to add a setting or actual value to the front panel Modbus user map.
To add the setting "Phase TOC 1 Pickup" to the Modbus user map:
1. Find the address of the setting "Phase TOC 1 Pickup," which is 334Eh (334E in hexadecimal format).
2. Prefix this address by 3 to obtain 3334Eh.
3. Convert this value to decimal to obtain 209742 and enter it on the front panel.
To add the actual value "SRC 1 Frequency" to the Modbus user map:
1. Find the address of the actual value "SRC 1 Frequency," which is 1D80h.
2. Prefix this address by 4 to obtain 41D80h.
3. Convert this value to decimal to obtain 269696 and enter it on the front panel.

SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP REAL TIME CLOCK
REAL TIME SYNCRONIZING SOURCE: Range: None, PP/IRIG-B/PTP/Other, IRIG-B/PP/PTP/
CLOCK None Other, PP/PTP/IRIG-B/Other, PBM Clock( with PBM O.C.)
The relay contains a real time clock (RTC) to create time stamps for communications protocols as well as for historical data,
such as event records and oscillography. When the relay restarts, the RTC initializes from an onboard battery-backed
clock, which has the same accuracy as an electronic watch, approximately ±1 minute per month (~23 ppm). Once the RTC
5 is synchronized with the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), IRIG-B, or SNTP, its accuracy approaches that of the synchronizing
time delivered to the relay. While the RTC is not synchronized via PTP or IRIG-B, or the relay determines that it has an offset
possibly greater than 10 µs from the international time standard, the CLOCK UNSYNCHRONIZED FlexLogic operand is
activated.
The relay supports the adjustment of the leap second (addition as well as removal of a leap second) when the UR is
synchronized using the PTP or IRIG-B. Two Fexlogic operands are available for supporting this functionality: LEAP
SECOND DETECTED and LEAP SECOND ADDED.
The SYNCHRONIZING SOURCE setting displays in the software when the relay includes the IEEE 1588 software option. The
setting configures the priority sequence of the time synchronization source, to determine which of the available external
time sources to use for time synchronization. A setting of None causes the RTC and the synchrophasor clock to free-run,
and the clock can be changed from the front panel or from communications protocols. A setting of PP/IRIG-B/PTP/Other,
IRIG-B/PP/PTP/Other, or PP/PTP/IRIG-B/Other causes the relay to track the first source named that is enabled and
operational, or free-run if none of these are available. Here, PP means a time source that is strictly compliant with PP, PTP
means a time source that is not strictly compliant with PP, and Other means any less precise source (SNTP, IEC 103, IEC 104,
Modbus, or DNP). When a time source fails or recovers, the relay automatically transfers synchronization as required by
this setting.
The setting option "PBM Clock" is only available in the UR with Process Bus Module (PBM) order codes. Selecting “PBM Clock”
causes the relay to use the time source from any non-HardFiber Process Bus Module clock. If the Process Bus Module PTP
FUNCTION setting is enabled and PTP grandmaster is available in the process bus network, the Process Bus Module clock is
synchronized to the PTP grandmaster, else the Process Bus Module clock free-runs. A UR can use a synchronizing source
either from the real-time clock (main CPU) or a Process Bus Module, as outlined in Settings > Product Setup > Real Time
Clock > PBM PTP.
Note that a UR does not need to be time synchronized to accept the sampled values. All the elements (protection, control,
monitoring, logic, and so on) in the UR (except Line Current Differential element) remain fully functional without requiring
any external synchronizing source for the UR, as long as all the sampled values subscribed by the relay are synchronized
according to the Settings > Process Bus Module > General > SmpSynch Check setting and pass the other acceptance
criteria as defined in Settings > Process Bus Module > SV Stream Config > Logic.
Some UR applications like oscillography, event recorder, and datalogger use the real-time clock for time-stamping.
When the relay does not have the IEEE 1588 software option and this setting does not display, it uses IRIG-B when enabled
and operational, then failing that SNTP when configured and operational, and otherwise it free-runs unless the clock is
changed from the front panel or from communications protocols.
Setup for IRIG-B is illustrated in the Installation chapter.
For the Other protocols, whenever a time synchronization message is received through any of the active protocols, the T35
clock updates. However, given that IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, and DNP are low-accuracy time
synchronization methods, avoid their use for synchronization when better accuracy time protocols, such as IRIG-B and PTP,
are active in the system. If IRIG-B or PTP is used to update the relay clock, the other protocols (such as SNTP) are not
allowed to update, even if active.
See the COMMANDS SET DATE AND TIME menu section of this manual to manually set the RTC.
When 1 ms accuracy is required for events, oscillography, time stamping, synchrophasors, and 87L asymmetry
with respect to the master clock, the PTP clock needs to be connected to the CPU of a relay. The 1 ms accuracy
cannot be maintained if the CPU of the relay is synchronized through the Process Bus Module due to a delay up to 2
5
ms in transmitting a time stamp from the Process Bus Module to a CPU.
The REAL TIME CLOCK EVENTS setting allows changes to the date and/or time to be captured in the event record. The event
records the RTC time before the adjustment. A Date/Time Changed event is generated when:
• The real time clock changed from SNTP/PTP/IRIG-B and the time difference is more than one second
• The real time clock changed from the front panel or via Modbus register. The relay always generates this event
regardless of the time difference.
• The Daylight Saving Time (DST) setting gets enabled and the current relay time is already in the DST zone
• The real time clock enters or leaves DST
To enable IRIG-B synchronization, the input IRIG-B SIGNAL TYPE must be set to DC Shift or Amplitude Modulated. IRIG-B
synchronization can be disabled by making this setting None. When IRIG-B is enabled and active, clock synchronization by
communication protocols. (DNP, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104) is blocked, and clock synchronization from the front
panel and over Modbus is always enabled.
Clocks can be synchronized locally among several relays using the computer time. When using a time source, such as IRIG-
B, the time is overwritten eventually by the time source. To synchronize clocks among UR devices:
1. In the EnerVista software, expand the main menu in the Online Window area and select the Synchronize Devices
entry. The window opens. The software prompts to acknowledge any offline devices.
2. Click the Synchronize Devices button at the top of the window, and confirm the action at the prompt. The devices
assume the time of the computer being used.
To configure and enable PTP and/or SNTP, or to set local time parameters (for example time zone, daylight savings), refer to
the later sections.
The relay supports the adjustment of real-time clock for the leap second (addition or removal of a leap second) per
applicable standards, when the UR is synchronized using PTP or IRIG-B. The Flexlogic operand 'LEAP SECOND DETECTED'
gets asserted for 1 second when leap second adjustment is made and event is recorded in the events log. The following
functions are affected by the leap second time adjustment:

The T35 is provided with optional Precision Time Protocol capability. This feature is specified as the IEEE 1588
software option at the time of ordering.
The T35 supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) specified in IEEE Std 1588 2008 using the Power Profile (PP) specified in
IEEE Std C37.238 2017. This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet network
that implements PP.
The relay can be configured to operate on some PTP networks that are not strictly PP. Time accuracy can be less than
specified for a PP network. Tolerated deviations from strict PP include:
• Missing declaration of PP compliance in the messages
• Connection to a network device that does not support the PTP peer delay mechanism
• Jitter substantially greater than 1 µs in received event messages
• Certain non-compliant announce and sync message update rates
The relay implements PTP according to IEEE Std 1588 2008 and the equivalent IEC 61588:2009(E), sometimes referred to as
version 2 PTP. It does not support the previous version of the standard (version 1).
PTP is a protocol that allows multiple clocks in a network to synchronize with one another. It permits synchronization
accuracies better than 1 ns, but this requires that each and every component in the network achieve very high levels of
accuracy and a very high baud rate, faster than normally used for relay communications. When operating over a generic
Ethernet network, time error can amount to 1 ms or more. PP is a profile of PTP which specifies a limited subset of PTP
suitable for use in power system protection, control, automation, and data communication applications, and thereby
facilitates interoperability between different vendor’s clocks and switches. PP specifies a worst-case delivered time error of
less than 1 µs over a 16-hop network.
In a PTP system and in a PP system, the clocks automatically organize themselves into a master-slave synchronization
hierarchy with the “best” clock available making itself the “grandmaster” at the top of the hierarchy; all others make
themselves “slaves” and track the grandmaster. Typically the grandmaster clock receives its time from GPS satellites or
some other link to the international time standard. If the grandmaster fails, the next “best” clock available in the domain
assumes the grandmaster role. When a clock on start-up discovers that it is “better” than the present grandmaster, it
assumes the grandmaster role and the previous grandmaster reverts to slave. The T35 qualification mechanism accepts a
potential master clock as a new grandmaster, when in a four-second interval it has received three announce messages
from it, all better than the present grandmaster clock and better than any other announce in this interval.
Time messages issued by the grandmaster are delayed as they pass through the network both due to the finite speed of
the signal in the interconnecting fiber or wire, and due to processing delays in the Ethernet switches. Each clock and switch
implementing PP measures the propagation delay to each of its PP neighbors, and compensates for these delays in the
time received. Each network device implementing PP measures the processing delay it introduces in each time message
and compensates for this delay in the time it transmits. As a result, the time delivered to end-devices such as the UR are
virtually identical to the grandmaster time. If one of the network devices in the hierarchy does not fully implement PP, the
associated propagation delay and/or latency may not be compensated for, and the time received at the end-device can be
in error by more than 100 µs.
See the preceding Real Time Clock section for a description of when time values received via PTP are used to update the
relay’s real time clock.
The following settings are available for configuring the relay for PTP. The PTP menu displays only when the option was
5
purchased.
STRICT POWER PROFILE — Power profile (IEEE Std C37.238 2017) requires that the relay only select a power profile compliant
clock as a grandmaster, that the delivered time have worst-case error of ±1 µs, and that the peer delay mechanism be
implemented. With the strict power profile setting enabled, the relay only selects as master the clocks displaying the
IEEE_C37_238 identification codes. It uses a port only when the peer delay mechanism is operational. With the strict power
profile setting disabled, the relay uses clocks without the power profile identification when no power profile clocks are
present, and uses ports even if the peer delay mechanism is non-operational. This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP
capable ports.
PTP DOMAIN NUMBER — Set this setting to the domain number of the grandmaster-capable clock(s) to be synchronized to. A
network can support multiple time distribution domains, each distinguished with a unique domain number. More
commonly, there is a single domain using the default domain number zero.
This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP capable ports.
PTP VLAN PRIORITY — This setting selects the value of the priority field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued
by the relay’s peer delay mechanism. In compliance with PP the default VLAN priority is 4, but it is recommended that it be
set to 7 in accordance with PTP. Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is linked directly, VLAN
Priority can have no effect.
This setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP capable ports.
PTP VLAN ID — This setting selects the value of the ID field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the relay’s
peer delay mechanism. It is provided in compliance with PP. As these messages have a destination address that indicates
they are not to be bridged, their VLAN ID serves no function, and so can be left at its default value. Depending on the
characteristics of the device to which the relay is linked directly, VLAN ID can have no effect. This setting applies to all of
the relay’s PTP capable ports.
PORT 1 ... 3 FUNCTION — While this port setting is selected to disabled, PTP is disabled on this port. The relay does not
generate or listen to PTP messages on this port.
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ADDER — The time delivered by PTP is advanced by the time value in this setting prior to the time
being used to synchronize the relay’s real time clock. This is to compensate to the extent practical for time delivery delays
not compensated for in the network. In a fully compliant PP network, the peer delay and the processing delay mechanisms
compensate for all the delays between the grandmaster and the relay. In such networks, make this setting zero.
In networks containing one or more switches and/or clocks that do not implement both of these mechanisms, not all
delays are compensated, so the time of message arrival at the relay is later than the time indicated in the message. This
setting can be used to approximately compensate for this delay. However, as the relay is not aware of network switching
that dynamically changes the amount of uncompensated delay, there is no setting that always and completely corrects
for uncompensated delay. A setting can be chosen that reduces the worst-case error to half of the range between
minimum and maximum uncompensated delay, if these values are known.
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ASSYMMETRY — This setting corresponds to “delayAsymmetry” in PTP, which is used by the peer delay
mechanism to compensate for any difference in the propagation delay between the two directions of a link. Except in
unusual cases, the two fibers are of essentially identical length and composition, so make this setting zero.
In unusual cases where the length of the link is different in different directions, set this setting to the number of
nanoseconds the Ethernet propagation delay to the relay is longer than the mean of path propagation delays to and from
the relay. For instance, if it is known say from the physical length of the fibers and the propagation speed in the fibers that
the delay from the relay to the Ethernet switch it is connected to is 9000 ns and that the delay from the switch to the relay
is 11000 ns, then the mean delay is 10000 ns, and the path delay asymmetry is 11000 - 10000 = +1000 ns.
5 SNTP SERVER1 IP
ADDR: 127.0.0.1
Range: standard IP address format
The T35 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the T35 can obtain clock time over
an Ethernet network. The T35 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from redundant SNTP/NTP servers, usually a
dedicated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. One or two SNTP servers can be used; use of both
servers for redundancy is recommended but not required.
To use SNTP, enable the function and set SNTP SERVER1 IP ADDR and/or SNTP SERVER2 IP ADDR to the SNTP/NTP server IP
addresses. The T35 attempts to obtain time values from the SNTP SERVER1 SNTP/NTP server. If SERVER1 is not available/
reachable, the T35 switches to the SNTP SERVER2 to get the time value and vice versa.
Since many time values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the T35 clock is closely
synchronized with the SNTP/NTP server. It can take up to 20 minutes for the T35 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the
server is offline, depending on the number and SNTP server modes. Broadcast mode timeout is 10 minutes and unicast
timeout is 80 seconds (corresponds to three unicast request retries).
SNTP FUNCTION — Enables or disables the SNTP feature on the T35.
SNTP SERVER1 IP ADDR — The T35 uses the SERVER1 address to contact an SNTP/NTP server to obtain time values. When the
SNTP FUNCTION setting is set to enabled or on startup if the setting is enabled, the T35 SNTP client requests SERVER1 for the
time value. If the SERVER1 channel fails or is not reachable, the T35 switches to SERVER2 SNTP/NTP server.
If SERVER1 SNTP server is set to 127.0.0.1, the T35 considers the SERVER1 SNTP server to be unconfigured.
To use SERVER1 SNTP in broadcast mode, set the SNTP SERVER1 IP ADDR setting to "0.0.0.0" and SNTP FUNCTION to "Enabled."
The T35 SNTP client then listens to SNTP messages sent to the "all ones" broadcast address for the subnet. The T35 waits
up to 18 minutes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before switching to the alternate
channel.
SNTP SERVER2 IP ADDR — The T35 uses this address to contact an SNTP/NTP server if SERVER1 channel fails or is not
reachable. If SERVER2 SNTP server is set to 127.0.0.1, the T35 considers the SERVER2 SNTP server to be unconfigured.
To use SERVER2 SNTP in broadcast mode, set the SNTP SERVER2 IP ADDR setting to "0.0.0.0" and SNTP FUNCTION to "Enabled."
The T35 SNTP client then listens to SNTP messages sent to the "all ones" broadcast address for the subnet. The T35 waits
up to 18 minutes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before switching to the alternate
channel.
SNTP SERVER1 UDP PORT — This setting is 123 for normal SNTP operation. If SERVER1 SNTP is not required, close the port by
changing this setting to zero.
SNTP SERVER2 UDP PORT — This setting is 123 for normal SNTP operation. If SERVER2 SNTP is not required, close the port by
changing this setting to zero.
Do not set more than one protocol to the same TCP/UDP port number, as this results in unreliable operation of
those protocols.
If SERVER1 IP ADDR and UDP PORT settings match the SERVER2 IP ADDR and UDP PORT settings, the T35 considers only
the SERVER1 SNTP server as being configured and an SNTP Failure error message generates. The failure message
also displays when both servers are unavailable.

The T35 maintains two times: local time and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Local time can be provided by IRIG-B
signals. UTC time is provided by SNTP servers.
The real-time clock (RTC) and time stamps reported in historical records and communication protocols can be incorrect if
the Local Time settings are not configured properly.
See the IRIG-B section in the Installation chapter for guidance on these settings when using an IRIG-B source that sets the
IRIG-B control bits according to IEEE Std 1344-1995.
LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC — Used to specify the local time zone offset from UTC (Greenwich Mean Time) in hours. Time
zones in the eastern hemisphere have positive values; time zones in the western hemisphere have negative values. A value
of zero causes the relay to use UTC for local time. This setting has two uses. When the system RTC is synchronized with a
communications protocol providing only local time or it is free-running, the offset setting is used to calculate UTC from the
local time these provide. When the RTC is synchronized with a communications protocol providing only UTC (such as PTP or
SNTP), the time offset setting is used to determine local time from the UTC provided. PTP
ALTERNATE_TIME_OFFSET_INDICATOR TLVs are not used to calculate local time.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME and DST — Can be used to allow the relay to follow the DST rules of the local time zone. Note that
when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the local time in the IRIG-B signal contains any daylight savings time offset and
so the DST settings are ignored. Note that the following items do not include the DST: Time of Day Timer Start Time; Time of
Day Timer Stop Time; Event Recorder Last Cleared Date; Source x Demand VAR Maximum Date; Source x Demand WATT
Maximum Date; Source x Demand VA Maximum Date; Source x Demand Ia Maximum Date; Source x Demand Ib Maximum

The time synchronizing source for the relay is set using SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP REAL TIME CLOCK. Another time
source is set for the Process Bus Module.
The Process Bus Module supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as PTP master and slave functionality.
The PTP state of each port is determined by the PTP settings and grandmaster clock availability on the local network.
Time synchronization supports IEEE 1588 PTPv2.
Some UR applications like oscillography, event recorder, and datalogger use the real-time clock for time-stamping.
Note that in all of these scenarios, when the Grand Master clock is not available through a CPU port and/or Process Bus
Module, all the elements (protection, control, monitoring, logic, and so on) in the T35, except the Line Current Differential
element, remain functional without requiring any external synchronizing source for the T35, as long as all the sampled
values subscribed by the relay are synchronized according to the setting definition of SMPSYNCH CHECK (SETTINGS >
PROCESS BUS MODULE > GENERAL > SMPSYNCH CHECK) and pass the other acceptance criteria.
PTP FUNCTION — Sets the source for time synchronization for the Process Bus Module.
When set to Disabled, PTP is disabled on all ports of the Process Bus Module.
When set to Master-Slave, the Process Bus Module acts as a PTP slave when a grandmaster clock is available in the
communication path. If no better clock than its own clock is available in the communication path, the module switches to
master mode and provides the grandmaster functionality by sending Announce frames and other supporting PTP Master
frames.
When set to Slave-only, the Process Bus Module acts as a PTP slave ordinary clock if a grandmaster clock is available in the
network. If no grandmaster clock is available in the communication path, the module continues to wait for the Announce
messages.
When PTP is enabled but no grand master is available on any of the Process Bus Module ports, “PB PTP Failure” events are
generated.
To view the synchronizing source, see ACTUAL VALUES PB MODULE TIME SYNC SYNC SOURCE.
PTP PROFILE — Specifies the profile to be used for PTP Master communication. The Power Utility Profile option relates to IEC
61850-9-3, while the Power Profile option relates to IEEE C37.238 2017.
When the Process Bus Module PTP is in the slave state, this setting has no effect. As a slave, the Process Bus Module
accepts both the Power Profile and the Power Utility Profile.
PTP DOMAIN NUMBER — Set this to the domain number of the grandmaster-capable clock(s) to synchronize to. A network
can support multiple time distribution domains, each distinguished with a unique domain number. The Power Utility Profile
recommends 93 as the value for the domain number.
PTP VLAN PRIORITY — This setting selects the value of the priority field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in PTP request messages
issued by the relay.
PTP VLAN ID — This setting selects the value of the ID field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in PTP request messages issued by the
relay. As these messages have a destination address that indicates they are not to be bridged, their VLAN ID serves no
function, and so the setting can be left at its default value. Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the
relay is directly linked, VLAN ID can have no effect.
PTP MASTER PRIO1 — Priority1 is used in the execution of the best master clock algorithm and lower values take precedence.
The operation of the best master clock algorithm selects clocks from a set with a lower value of priority1 over clocks from
a set greater than priority1.
The setting values Priority1 and Priority2 decide when the UR Process Bus Module ports are selected as grandmaster clock.
In a single LAN, GE recommends the following:
• Set the Priority1 of the UR larger than the actual grandmaster, so that the grandmaster(s) takes precedence over UR
• Set the same Priority1 for all the UR Process Bus Module ports participating in one communication path
• Use Priority2 to further prioritize the UR Process Bus Module ports in the network. The UR with lower value of Priority2
is selected as best master when Priority1, clockClass, clockAccuracy, and scaledOffsetLogVariance are the same.
The setting is editable in the software when the PTP FUNCTION setting is Master-Slave.
PTP MASTER PRIO2 — Priority2 is used in the execution of the best master clock algorithm and lower values take precedence.
If the operation of the best master clock algorithm fails to order the clocks based on the values of priority1, clockClass,
clockAccuracy, and scaledOffsetLogVariance, the priority2 attribute allows the creation of up to 256 priorities to further
Independent of the NETWORK CONFIG and PTP FUNCTION settings, the enabled transceiver ports on the Process Bus
Module operate in stateless transparent clock mode. GE recommends always setting the NETWORK CONFIG setting
to match with the network topology to avoid unnecessary data storms. For example, if the PRP network has
multiple URs connected on PRP LAN and if the UR’s NETWORK CONFIG setting is misconfigured to “Independent” PTP
messages other than PDelay messages are forwarded between the connected ports, which can create a PTP data
storm.

Up to eight ports display here, depending on the Process Bus Module.
Default port assignments for the Process Bus Module are as follows:
• Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) — Ports 1a and 1b are enabled
• High-Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) — Ports 1a and 1b are enabled
• Dual HSR — Ports 1a and 1b support HSR-1, and ports 3a and 3b support HSR-2
• INDEPENDENT — Ports 1a to 4b are enabled
Port availability by order code is as follows:
When enabled, this function monitors the pre-fault trigger. The pre-fault data are stored in the memory for prospective
creation of the fault report on the rising edge of the pre-fault trigger. The element waits for the fault trigger as long as the
pre-fault trigger is asserted, but not shorter than 1 second. When the fault trigger occurs, the fault data is stored and the
complete report is created. If the fault trigger does not occur within 1 second after the pre-fault trigger drops out, the
element resets and no record is created.
The user programmable record contains the following information: the user-programmed relay name, detailed firmware
revision (x.xx, for example) and relay model (T35), the date and time of trigger, the name of pre-fault trigger (a specific
FlexLogic operand), the name of fault trigger (a specific FlexLogic operand), the active setting group at pre-fault trigger, the
active setting group at fault trigger, pre-fault values of all programmed analog channels (one cycle before pre-fault
trigger), and fault values of all programmed analog channels (at the fault trigger).
The report includes fault duration times for each of the breakers (created by the breaker arcing current feature). To include
fault duration times in the fault report, the user must enable and configure breaker arcing current feature for each of the
breakers. Fault duration is reported on a per-phase basis.
Each fault report is stored as a file to a maximum capacity of ten files. An eleventh trigger overwrites the oldest file. The
EnerVista software is required to view all captured data. A FAULT RPT TRIG event is automatically created when the report
is triggered.
The relay includes two user-programmable fault reports to enable capture of two types of trips (for example, trip from
thermal protection with the report configured to include temperatures, and short-circuit trip with the report configured to
include voltages and currents). Both reports feed the same report file queue.
The last record is available as individual data items via communications protocols.
PRE-FAULT 1 TRIGGER — Specifies the FlexLogic operand to capture the pre-fault data. The rising edge of this operand stores
one cycle-old data for subsequent reporting. The element waits for the fault trigger to actually create a record as long as
the operand selected as PRE-FAULT 1 TRIGGER is “On.” If the operand remains “Off” for 1 second, the element resets and no
record is created.
FAULT 1 TRIGGER — Specifies the FlexLogic operand to capture the fault data. The rising edge of this operand stores the
data as fault data and results in a new report. The trigger (not the pre-fault trigger) controls the date and time of the report.
FAULT REPORT 1 # 1 to FAULT REPORT 1 #32 — These settings specify an actual value such as voltage or current magnitude,
true RMS, phase angle, frequency, temperature, and so on, to be stored when the report is created. Up to 32 channels can
5 be configured. Two reports are configurable to cope with variety of trip conditions and items of interest.

Oscillography records contain waveforms captured at the sampling rate as well as other relay data at the point of trigger.
Oscillography records are triggered by a programmable FlexLogic operand. Multiple oscillography records can be captured
simultaneously.
To retrieve an Oscillography record from a relay:
1. If not yet set up for oscillography, configure settings under Settings > Product Setup > Oscillography in the EnerVista
software.
2. Access Actual Values > Records > Oscillography in the EnerVista software.
3. In the window that opens, select the record number. The highest number is the most recent record (Newest Record
Number).
4. Click the Read button to get the waveform. When available, waveforms are displayed graphically, and otherwise error
messages display.
5. In the waveform window that opens, you can save the file, for example with the CFG extension.
The NUMBER OF RECORDS is selectable, but the number of cycles captured in a single record varies considerably based on
other factors, such as sample rate and the number of operational modules. There is a fixed amount of data storage for
oscillography; the more data captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record. See the ACTUAL VALUES
RECORDS OSCILLOGRAPHY menu to view the number of cycles captured per record. The following table provides sample
configurations with corresponding cycles/record. The minimum number of oscillographic records is three.

TRIGGER MODE — A new record automatically overwrites an oldest record when TRIGGER MODE is set to "Automatic
Overwrite", keeping number of available records equal to the NUMBER OF RECORDS setting value. When TRIGGER MODE
is set to "Protected" new records stopped being captured once number of captured records triggered by "Trigger Source" is
becoming equal to the setting NUMBER OF RECORDS value (with an exception when oscillography is triggered manually
from the ACTUAL VALUES \ RECORDS \ OSCILLOGRAPHY \ FORCE TRIGGER menu command), until all oscillography
records are cleared.
TRIGGER POSITION — Set this to a percentage of the total buffer size (for example, 10%, 50%, 75%, and so on). A trigger
position of 25% consists of 25% pre- and 75% post-trigger data.
TRIGGER SOURCE — Always captured in oscillography and can be any FlexLogic parameter (element state, contact input,
virtual output, and so on). The relay sampling rate is 64 samples per cycle.
AC INPUT WAVEFORMS — Determines the sampling rate at which AC input signals (that is, current and voltage) are stored.
Reducing the sampling rate allows longer records to be stored. This setting has no effect on the internal sampling rate of
the relay, which is always 64 samples per cycle. That is, it has no effect on the fundamental calculations of the device.
When changes are made to the oscillography settings, all existing oscillography records are cleared.
DIGITAL 1(127) CHANNEL — This setting selects the FlexLogic operand state recorded in an oscillography trace. The length of
each oscillography trace depends in part on the number of parameters selected here. Parameters set to “Off” are ignored.
There are 127 channels and one trigger, for a total of 128.

5 These settings select the metering actual value recorded in an oscillography trace. The length of each oscillography trace
depends in part on the number of parameters selected here. Parameters set to “Off” are ignored. The parameters available
in a given relay depend on
• the type of relay,
• the type and number of CT/VT hardware modules installed, and
• the type and number of analog input hardware modules installed
A list of all possible analog metering actual value parameters is presented in Appendix A: FlexAnalog Parameters.
All eight CT/VT module channels are stored in the oscillography file. The CT/VT module channels are named as follows:
<slot_letter><terminal_number>—<I or V><phase A, B, or C, or 4th input>
The fourth current input in a bank is called IG, and the fourth voltage input in a bank is called VX. For example, F2-IB
designates the IB signal on terminal 2 of the CT/VT module in slot F.
If there are no CT/VT modules and analog input modules, no analog traces appear in the file; only the digital traces appear.
In addition to the standard COMTRADE files *.hdr, *cfg & *.dat, a file with extension ‘*.set’ is also recorded. This file
contains the active settings of the protection and control elements of the relay uppon triggering of the
oscillography file. The ‘*.set’ can be opened in Enervista. The setting names are captured in English language only.

The data logger samples and records up to 16 analog parameters at a user-defined sampling rate. This recorded data can
be downloaded to EnerVista UR Setup and displayed with parameters on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.
All data is stored in non-volatile memory, so the information is retained when power to the relay is lost.
For a fixed sampling rate, the data logger can be configured with a few channels over a long period or a larger number of
channels for a shorter period. The relay automatically partitions the available memory between the channels in use. The
following table outlines examples of storage capacities for a system frequency of 60 Hz.

Changing any setting affecting data logger operation clears data in the log.
DATA LOGGER MODE — This setting configures the mode in which the data logger operates. When set to “Continuous,” the
data logger actively records any configured channels at the rate as defined by the DATA LOGGER RATE. The data logger is
idle in this mode when no channels are configured. When set to “Trigger,” the data logger records any configured channels
at the instance of the rising edge of the DATA LOGGER TRIGGER source FlexLogic operand. The data logger ignores all
subsequent triggers and continues to record data until the active record is full. Once the data logger is full, a CLEAR DATA
LOGGER command is required to clear the data logger record before a new record can be started. Performing the CLEAR
DATA LOGGER command also stops the current record and resets the data logger to be ready for the next trigger.
DATA LOGGER TRIGGER — This setting selects the signal used to trigger the start of a new data logger record. Any FlexLogic
operand can be used as the trigger source. This setting only applies when the mode is set to “Trigger.”
DATA LOGGER RATE — This setting selects the time interval at which the actual value data is recorded.
DATA LOGGER CHNL 1(16) — This setting selects the metering actual value that is to be recorded in Channel 1(16) of the data
log. The parameters available in a given relay are dependent on: the type of relay, the type and number of CT/VT hardware
modules installed, and the type and number of Analog Input hardware modules installed. Upon startup, the relay
automatically prepares the parameter list. A list of all possible analog metering actual value parameters is shown in
Appendix A: FlexAnalog Parameters.
DATA LOGGER CONFIG — This display presents the total amount of time that the Data Logger can record the channels not
selected to “Off” without overwriting old data.
The LEDs can be customized to illuminate when a selected FlexLogic operand is in the logic 1 state. The trip and alarm
LEDs can also be customized in a similar manner. To ensure correct functionality of all LEDs, an LED test feature is also
provided.
When enabled, the LED test can be initiated from any digital input or user-programmable condition, such as a user-
programmable pushbutton. The control operand is configured under the LED TEST CONTROL setting. The test covers all
LEDs, including the LEDs of the optional user-programmable pushbuttons.
For the enhanced and basic front panels, the test consists of the following three stages:
1. All 62 LEDs on the relay are illuminated. This is a quick test to verify if any of the LEDs is “burned.” This stage lasts as
long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of one minute. After one minute, the test ends.
2. All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on for one second, then back off. The test routine starts at
the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom of each LED column. This test checks for hardware failures that lead
to more than one LED being turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
3. All the LEDs are turned on. One LED at a time turns off for one second, then back on. The test routine starts at the top
left panel moving from top to bottom of each column of the LEDs. This test checks for hardware failures that lead to
more than one LED being turned off from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
For the graphical front panel, the test consists of the following stages:
1. All 22 LEDs on the relay are illuminated. This is a quick test to verify if any of the LEDs is "burned." This stage lasts as
long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of one minute. After one minute, the test ends.
2. All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on with the orange color for one second, then back off.
The test routine starts at the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom for all 14 LEDs. Then the eight pushbutton
LEDs are tested in the same manner. This test checks for hardware failures that lead to more than one LED being
turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
3. All the LEDs are turned on with the orange color. One LED at a time turns off for one second, then back on. The test
routine starts at the top left panel moving from top to bottom for all 14 LEDs. Then the eight pushbutton LEDs are
tested in the same manner. This test checks for hardware failures that lead to more than one LED being turned off
from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
4. Additionally, stages 2 and 3 are repeated twice for the five device status LEDs and nine event cause LEDs, one time
with green color on and the other with red color on.
When testing is in progress, the LEDs are controlled by the test sequence, rather than the protection, control, and
monitoring features. However, the LED control mechanism accepts all the changes to LED states generated by the relay 5
and stores the actual LED states (on or off) in memory. When the test completes, the LEDs reflect the actual state resulting
from relay response during testing. The reset pushbutton does not clear any targets when the LED Test is in progress.
A dedicated FlexLogic operand, LED TEST IN PROGRESS, is set for the duration of the test. When the test sequence is
initiated, the LED TEST INITIATED event is stored in the event recorder.
The entire test procedure is user-controlled. In particular, stage 1 can last as long as necessary, and stages 2 and 3 can be
interrupted. The test responds to the position and rising edges of the control input defined by the LED TEST CONTROL
setting. The control pulses must last at least 250 ms to take effect. The following diagram explains how the test is
executed.

Assume one needs to check if any of the LEDs is “burned” through user-programmable pushbutton 1. Apply the following
settings.
Configure user-programmable pushbutton 1 by making the following entries in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP USER-
PROGRAMMABLE PUSHBUTTONS USER PUSHBUTTON 1 menu. (The option does not display when not purchased.)
PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: “Self-reset”
PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: “0.10 s”
Configure the LED test to recognize user-programmable pushbutton 1 by making the following entries in the SETTINGS
PRODUCT SETUP USER-PROGRAMMABLE LEDS LED TEST menu:
LED TEST FUNCTION: “Enabled”
LED TEST CONTROL: “PUSHBUTTON 1 ON”
The test is initiated when the user-programmable pushbutton 1 is pressed. Keep the pushbutton pressed for as long as the
LEDs are being visually inspected. When finished, release the pushbutton. The relay then automatically starts stage 2. At
this point, test can be cancelled by pressing the pushbutton.
Application example 2
Assume one needs to check if any LEDs are “burned” as well as exercise one LED at a time to check for other failures. This
is to be performed via user-programmable pushbutton 1.
After applying the settings in application example 1, hold down the pushbutton as long as necessary to test all LEDs. When
finished, release the pushbutton so that the relay then automatically starts stage 2. When stage 2 is completed, stage 3
starts automatically. The test can be cancelled at any time by pressing the pushbutton.
The trip and alarm LEDs are in the first LED column (enhanced and graphical front panels) and on LED panel 1 (basic front
panel). Each LED can be programmed to turn on when the selected FlexLogic operand is in the logic 1 state.
For the enhanced and basic front panels, there are 48 amber LEDs across the relay LED panels. Each of these indicators
can be programmed to illuminate when the selected FlexLogic operand is in the logic 1 state.
For the basic front panel, the LEDs are located as follows:
• LED Panel 2 — User-programmable LEDs 1 through 24
• LED Panel 3 — User programmable LEDs 25 through 48
For the enhanced front panel, the LEDs are located as follows: 5
• LED column 2 — User-programmable LEDs 1 through 12
• LED column 3 — User-programmable LEDs 13 through 24
• LED column 4 — User-programmable LEDs 25 through 36
• LED column 5 — User-programmable LEDs 37 through 48
See the LED Indicators section in chapter 4 for information on the location of these indexed LEDs.
The user-programmable LED settings select the FlexLogic operands that control the LEDs. If the LED 1 TYPE setting is “Self-
Reset” (the default setting), the LED illumination tracks the state of the selected LED operand. If the LED 1 TYPE setting is
“Latched,” the LED, once lit, remains so until reset by the front panel RESET button, from a remote device via a
communications channel, or from any programmed operand, even if the LED operand state de-asserts.

All major self-test alarms are reported automatically with their corresponding FlexLogic operands, events, and targets.
This settings menu allows enabling and disabling of most minor self-test alarms.
When in the Disabled mode, minor alarms do not assert a FlexLogic operand, write to the event recorder, or display target
messages. Moreover, they do not trigger the ANY MINOR ALARM or ANY SELF-TEST messages. When in Enabled mode,
minor alarms continue to function along with other major and minor alarms. See the Relay Self-tests section in chapter 7 5
for information on major and minor self-test alarms.
When using the graphical front panel and setting annunciator alarms, the function needs to be enabled here too, else the
alarm is not triggered.

Control pushbuttons are not typically used for critical operations and are not protected by the control password. However,
by supervising their output operands, the user can dynamically enable or disable control pushbuttons for security reasons.
Each control pushbutton asserts its own FlexLogic operand. Each operand need to be configured appropriately to perform
the required function. Each operand remains asserted as long as the pushbutton is pressed and resets when the
pushbutton is released. A dropout delay of 100 ms is incorporated to ensure fast pushbutton manipulation is recognized
by various features that can use control pushbuttons as inputs.
An event is logged in the event record (as per user setting) when a control pushbutton is pressed. No event is logged when
the pushbutton is released. The front panel keys (including control keys) cannot be operated simultaneously—a given key
must be released before the next one can be pressed.

User-programmable pushbuttons provide an easy and error-free method of entering digital state (on, off) information. The
number depends on the front panel ordered.
• Enhanced horizontal front panel — 16 user-programmable pushbuttons
• Enhanced vertical front panel — 6 user-programmable pushbuttons
• Basic horizontal front panel — 12 user-programmable pushbuttons
• Graphical front panel — 48 user-programmable pushbuttons (eight physical pushbuttons, 40 graphical interface
pushbuttons)
User-programmable pushbuttons require a front panel with that option. If the front panel was ordered separately,
update the EnerVista software under Maintenance > Change Front Panel.
The digital state can be entered locally (by directly pressing the front panel pushbutton or optional graphical front panel
interface) or remotely (via FlexLogic operands) into FlexLogic equations, protection elements, and control elements. Typical
applications include breaker control, autorecloser blocking, and setting groups changes. For example, set pushbuttons 1 to
5 to select settings groups 1 to 5, or set pushbutton 1 to clear event records. The user-programmable pushbuttons are
under the control level of password protection.
Example
To clear event records using pushbutton 1, set Settings > Product Setup > Clear Relay Records > Clear Event Records to
5 FlexLogic operand PUSHBUTTON 1 ON. Then program the pushbutton by setting Settings > Product Setup > User-
Programmable Pushbuttons > Pushbutton 1 Function to "Self-reset." For a graphical front panel, to use a side
pushbutton to clear the event records, it also needs to be programmed in a single-line diagram.
The figures show user-configurable pushbuttons for the front panels.

Front panel pushbuttons and LEDs can be custom labeled as outlined in the Front Panel Labeling section in the previous
chapter.
Each pushbutton asserts its own “On” and “Off” FlexLogic operands (for example, PUSHBUTTON 1 ON and
PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF). These operands are available for each pushbutton and are used to program specific actions. If any
pushbutton is active, the ANY PB ON operand is asserted.
Each pushbutton has an associated LED indicator. By default, this indicator displays the present status of the
corresponding pushbutton (on or off). However, each LED indicator can be assigned to any FlexLogic operand through the
PUSHBTN 1 LED CTL setting. 5
The activation and deactivation of user-programmable pushbuttons depends on whether latched or self-reset mode is
programmed.
• Latched mode — In latched mode, a pushbutton can be set (activated) by asserting the operand assigned to the
PUSHBTN 1 SET setting, by directly pressing the associated front panel pushbutton, or with the graphical front panel
interface. The state of each pushbutton is stored in non-volatile memory and maintained through a loss of control
power.
The pushbutton is reset (deactivated) in latched mode by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 RESET
setting, by directly pressing the active front panel pushbutton, or with the graphical front panel interface.
It can also be programmed to reset automatically through the PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST and PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY
settings. These settings enable the autoreset timer and specify the associated time delay. The autoreset timer can be
used in select-before-operate (SBO) breaker control applications, where the command type (close/open) or breaker
location (feeder number) must be selected prior to command execution. The selection must reset automatically if
control is not executed within a specified time period.
• Self-reset mode — In self-reset mode, a user-programmable pushbutton can be set (activated) by asserting the
operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting, by pressing the front panel pushbutton, or by the graphical front panel
interface. A pushbutton remains active for the time it is pressed physically or pressed in the graphical front panel
interface, plus the dropout time specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME setting. If the pushbutton is activated via
FlexLogic, the pulse duration is specified by the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME only. The time the operand assigned to the
PUSHBTN 1 SET setting remains On has no effect on the pulse duration.
The pulse duration of the remote set or local front panel pushbutton must be at least 56 ms for a 60 Hz system or
60 ms for a 50 Hz system to operate the pushbutton. This allows the user-programmable pushbuttons to properly
operate during power cycling events and various system disturbances that can cause transient assertion of the
operating signals.
The local and remote operation of each user-programmable pushbutton can be inhibited through the PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL
and PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE settings. If local inhibit is applied, the pushbutton ignores set and reset commands executed
through the front panel pushbuttons. If remote inhibit is applied, the pushbutton ignores set and reset commands
executed through FlexLogic operands.
The inhibit functions are not applied to the autoreset feature. The inhibit function can be used in SBO control operations to
prevent user-programmable pushbutton activation and ensuring “one-at-a-time” select operation.
The inhibit functions can also be used to prevent pushbutton activation from the accidental pressing of the front panel
pushbuttons. The separate inhibit of the local and remote operation simplifies the implementation of local/remote control
supervision.
Pushbutton states can be logged by the event recorder. User-defined messages can also be associated with each
pushbutton and displayed on basic and enhanced front panels when the user-programmable pushbutton is activated, and
when in the latched mode when the user-programmable pushbutton is deactivated. With the graphical front panel
interface, instead of messages, the status of user-programmable pushbuttons can display on a single-line diagram and
can also display in annunciator page windows and in actual values page cells.
For the graphical front panel, the pushbuttons 1 to 8 are linked to the eight physical pushbuttons, and pushbuttons 9 and
above are mapped to the graphical interface pushbuttons. To set the buttons for pushbuttons 9 and above, access
Settings > Product Setup > Graphical Panel > Single Line Diagram Editor, click the PB symbol in the toolbox, then
configure pushbuttons 9 and above.
PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION — This setting selects the mode of the pushbutton (Self-Reset, Latched, Disabled). If set to
“Disabled,” the pushbutton is not active and the corresponding FlexLogic operands (both “On” and “Off”) are de-asserted. If
set to “Latched”, the pushbutton remains on until reset.
PUSHBTN 1 ID TEXT — This setting specifies the top 20-character line of the user-programmable pushbutton message and is
intended to provide ID information of the pushbutton. For example, the text displays in the Event Record. See the User-
5 definable Displays section in this chapter for instructions on how to enter alphanumeric characters from the keypad. On a
graphical front panel, this setting instead controls the label of the user-programmable pushbutton component on single-
line diagrams.
PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT — This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable pushbutton message
and is displayed when the pushbutton is in the “on” position. See the User-definable Displays section for instructions on
entering alphanumeric characters from the keypad. On a graphical front panel, this setting instead controls the on status
text of the user-programmable pushbutton component on single-line diagrams. This setting is not applied to the physical
pushbuttons on the graphical front panel.
PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT — This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable pushbutton message
and displays when the pushbutton is deactivated and the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is “Latched.” A message does not
display when the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is “Self-reset” as the pushbutton operand status is implied to be “Off” upon its
release. The length of the “Off” message is configured with the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH MESSAGE
TIME setting. On a graphical front panel, this setting instead controls the off status text of the user-programmable
pushbutton component on single-line diagrams. This setting is not applied to the physical pushbuttons on the graphical
front panel.
PUSHBTN 1 HOLD — This setting specifies the time required for a front panel pushbutton to be pressed before it is deemed
active. This timer is reset upon release of the pushbutton. Note that user-programmable pushbutton operation requires the
front panel pushbutton to be pressed a minimum of 56 ms for a 60 Hz system or 60 ms for a 50 Hz system. This minimum
time is required prior to activating the user-programmable pushbutton hold timer.
PUSHBTN 1 SET — This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to activate the user-programmable pushbutton
element. The duration of the incoming set signal must be at least 56 ms for a 60 Hz system or 60 ms for a 50 Hz system.
PUSHBTN 1 RESET — This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to deactivate the user-programmable pushbutton
element. This setting is applicable only if the user-programmable pushbutton is in “Latched” mode.
PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST — This setting enables the user-programmable pushbutton autoreset feature. This setting is applicable
only if the pushbutton is in “Latched” mode.
PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY — This setting specifies the time delay for automatic reset of the pushbutton when in “Latched”
mode.
PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE — This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit user-programmable pushbutton
operation from the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET or PUSHBTN 1 RESET settings.
PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL — This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit user-programmable pushbutton operation
from the front panel pushbuttons. This inhibit functionality is not applicable to pushbutton autoreset.
PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME — This setting applies only to “Self-Reset” mode and specifies the duration of the user-
programmable pushbutton active status after the front panel pushbutton or graphical front panel interface pushbutton
has been released. When activated remotely, this setting specifies the entire activation time of the pushbutton; the length
of time the operand selected by PUSHBTN 1 SET remains on has no effect on the pulse duration.
PUSHBTN 1 LED CTL — This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to drive the front panel pushbutton LED. If this
setting is “Off,” then LED operation is directly linked to the PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand. This setting is not applied to
Pushbuttons 9 and above on the graphical front panel, where the label background shows the orange glow color for the
“on” state.
PUSHBTN 1 MESSAGE — This setting controls the behavior of the user-programmable pushbutton on message that is
programmed in the PUSHBTN 1 ID and PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT settings, and the behavior of the user-programmable pushbutton
off message that is programmed in the PUSHBTN 1 ID and PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT settings. This settings has no effect on the
graphical front panel.
When set to “Disabled” user-programmable pushbutton messages do not display. Otherwise the on message displays
when the user-programmable pushbutton becomes activated, and if in the “Latched” mode the off message displays
when the user-programmable pushbutton becomes deactivated.
When set to “Normal”, the duration the message displays is as specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
When set to “High Priority”, the duration of the off message is as specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting, but the on
message is displayed as long as the user-programmable pushbutton is activated. While activated, target and other
messages are suppressed. To allow front panel keypad operation, when a keypad button is pressed the message is
suppressed for 10 seconds. 5
PUSHBUTTON 1 EVENTS — If this setting is enabled, each user-programmable pushbutton state change is logged as an
event into the event recorder.

This feature provides a mechanism where any of 256 selected FlexLogic operand states can be used for efficient
monitoring. The feature allows user-customized access to the FlexLogic operand states in the relay. The state bits are
packed so that 16 states are readable in a single Modbus register. The state bits can be configured so that all states of
interest are available in a minimum number of Modbus registers.
The state bits can be read out in the “Flex States” register array beginning at Modbus address 0900h. Sixteen states are
packed into each register, with the lowest-numbered state in the lowest-order bit. Sixteen registers accommodate the 256
state bits.

Any existing system display can be automatically copied into an available user display by selecting the existing display and
pressing the ENTER key. The display then prompts with ADD TO USER DISPLAY LIST? After selecting “Yes,” a message
indicates that the selected display has been added to the user display list. When this type of entry occurs, the sub-menus
are automatically configured with the proper content—this content can be edited subsequently.
This menu is used to enter user-defined text and user-selected Modbus-registered data fields into the particular user
display. Each user display consists of two 20-character lines (top and bottom). The tilde (~) character is used to mark the
start of a data field – the length of the data field needs to be accounted for. Up to five separate data fields can be entered
in a user display – the nth tilde (~) refers to the nth item.
A user display can be entered from the front panel keypad or the EnerVista interface (preferred for convenience). The
following procedure shows how to enter text characters in the top and bottom lines from the front panel keypad. Press the
HELP key at any time for context sensitive help information.
1. Select the line to be edited.
2. Press the decimal key to enter text edit mode.
3. Use either VALUE key to scroll through the characters. A space is selected like a character.
4. Press the decimal key to advance the cursor to the next position.
5. Repeat step 3 and continue entering characters until the desired text is displayed.
6. Press the ENTER key to store the new settings.
To enter a numerical value for any of the five items (the decimal form of the selected Modbus address) from the front panel
keypad, use the number keypad. Use the value of “0” for any items not being used. Use the HELP key at any selected system
display (setting, actual value, or command) which has a Modbus address, to view the hexadecimal form of the Modbus
address, then manually convert it to decimal form before entering it (EnerVista usage conveniently facilitates this
conversion). See the Modbus Memory Map section earlier in this chapter for information on how to calculate the decimal
value to enter on the front panel.
Use the MENU key to go to the user displays menu to view the user-defined content. The current user displays show in
sequence, changing every four seconds. While viewing a user display, press the ENTER key and then select the ‘Yes” option
to remove the display from the user display list. Use the MENU key again to exit the user displays menu.

This option is available when an Inter-Relay Communications card is specified at the time of ordering. With the
option, direct inputs/outputs display by default. When you enable the teleprotection feature, direct I/O is not
visible.
Direct inputs and outputs exchange status information (inputs and outputs) between UR-series relays connected directly
via type 7 digital communications cards. The mechanism is very similar to IEC 61850 GOOSE, except that communications
takes place over a non-switchable isolated network and is optimized for speed. On type 7 cards that support two channels,
direct output messages are sent from both channels simultaneously. This effectively sends direct output messages both
ways around a ring configuration. On type 7 cards that support one channel, direct output messages are sent only in one
direction. Messages are resent (forwarded) when it is determined that the message did not originate at the receiver.
Direct Inputs and Outputs are initiated automatically and start running once at least one Direct Output in the given UR is
set to anything but Off.
For the direct I/Os to function properly, all UR devices sending I/Os using an Inter-Relay Communications card must have
identical firmware revisions.
Teleprotection inputs/outputs and direct inputs/outputs are mutually exclusive. As such, they cannot be used
simultaneously. Once teleprotection inputs and outputs are enabled, direct inputs and outputs are disabled, and
vice versa.
Direct output message timing is similar to GOOSE message timing. Integrity messages (with no state changes) are sent at
least every 1000 ms. Messages with state changes are sent within the main pass scanning the inputs and asserting the
outputs unless the communication channel bandwidth has been exceeded. Two self-tests are performed and signaled by
the following FlexLogic operands:
• DIRECT RING BREAK (direct input/output ring break) — Indicates that direct output messages sent from a UR-series
relay are not being received back by the relay
• DIRECT DEVICE 1 OFF to DIRECT DEVICE 16 OFF (direct device offline) — Indicate that direct output messages
from at least one direct device are not being received
Direct input and output settings are similar to remote input and output settings. The equivalent of the remote device name
strings for direct inputs and outputs is the DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID setting, which identifies the relay in all direct output
messages. All UR-series IEDs in a ring need to have unique numbers assigned. The IED ID is used to identify the sender of
the direct input and output message.
If the direct input and output scheme is configured to operate in a ring (DIRECT I/O CH1 RING CONFIGURATION or DIRECT I/O
CH2 RING CONFIGURATION is “Yes”), all direct output messages are received back. If not, the direct input/output ring break
self-test is triggered. The self-test error is signaled by the DIRECT RING BREAK FlexLogic operand.
Select the DIRECT I/O DATA RATE to match the data capabilities of the communications channel. All IEDs communicating
over direct inputs and outputs must be set to the same data rate. UR-series IEDs equipped with dual-channel
communications cards apply the same data rate to both channels. Delivery time for direct input and output messages is
approximately 0.2 of a power system cycle at 128 kbps and 0.4 of a power system cycle at 64 kbps, per each "bridge."

The G.703 modules are fixed at 64 kbps. The DIRECT I/O DATA RATE setting is not applicable to these modules.
The DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting applies to a T35 with dual-channel communication cards and allows crossing
over messages from channel 1 to channel 2. This places all UR-series IEDs into one direct input and output network
regardless of the physical media of the two communication channels.
The following application examples illustrate the basic concepts for direct input and output configuration. See the Inputs
and Outputs section in this chapter for information on configuring FlexLogic operands (flags, bits) to be exchanged.

The T35 checks integrity of the incoming direct input and output messages using a 32-bit CRC. The CRC alarm function is
available for monitoring the communication medium noise by tracking the rate of messages failing the CRC check. The
monitoring function counts all incoming messages, including messages that failed the CRC check. A separate counter adds
up messages that failed the CRC check. When the failed CRC counter reaches the user-defined level specified by the CRC
ALARM CH1 THRESHOLD setting within the user-defined message count CRC ALARM 1 CH1 COUNT, the DIR IO CH1 CRC
ALARM FlexLogic operand is set.
When the total message counter reaches the user-defined maximum specified by the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT
setting, both the counters reset and the monitoring process is restarted.
Configure the operand to drive an output contact, user-programmable LED, or selected communication-based output.
Latching and acknowledging conditions—if required—are programmed accordingly.
The CRC alarm function is available on a per-channel basis. The total number of direct input and output messages that
failed the CRC check is available as the ACTUAL VALUES STATUS DIRECT INPUTS CRC FAIL COUNT CH1 actual value.
• Message count and length of the monitoring window — To monitor communications integrity, the relay sends 1
message per second (at 64 kbps) or 2 messages per second (at 128 kbps) even if there is no change in the direct
outputs. For example, setting the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT to “10000,” corresponds a time window of about 160
minutes at 64 kbps and 80 minutes at 128 kbps. If the messages are sent faster as a result of direct outputs activity,
the monitoring time interval shortens. Take this into account when determining the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT
setting. For example, if the requirement is a maximum monitoring time interval of 10 minutes at 64 kbps, then the CRC
ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT is set to 10 × 60 × 1 = 600.
• Correlation of failed CRC and bit error rate (BER) — The CRC check can fail if one or more bits in a packet are
corrupted. Therefore, an exact correlation between the CRC fail rate and the BER is not possible. Under certain
assumptions an approximation can be made as follows. A direct input and output packet containing 20 bytes results
in 160 bits of data being sent and therefore, a transmission of 63 packets is equivalent to 10,000 bits. A BER of 10–4
implies 1 bit error for every 10000 bits sent or received. Assuming the best case of only 1 bit error in a failed packet,
having 1 failed packet for every 63 received is about equal to a BER of 10–4.
The T35 checks integrity of the direct input and output communication ring by counting unreturned messages. In the ring
configuration, all messages originating at a given device should return within a pre-defined period of time. The unreturned
messages alarm function is available for monitoring the integrity of the communication ring by tracking the rate of
unreturned messages. This function counts all the outgoing messages and a separate counter adds the messages have
failed to return. When the unreturned messages counter reaches the user-definable level specified by the UNRET MSGS
ALARM CH1 THRESHOLD setting and within the user-defined message count UNRET MSGS ALARM CH1 COUNT, the DIR IO CH1
UNRET ALM FlexLogic operand is set.
When the total message counter reaches the user-defined maximum specified by the UNRET MSGS ALARM CH1 MESSAGE
COUNT setting, both the counters reset and the monitoring process is restarted.
Configure the operand to drive an output contact, user-programmable LED, or selected communication-based output.
Latching and acknowledging conditions, if required, are programmed accordingly.
The unreturned messages alarm function is available on a per-channel basis and is active only in the ring configuration.
The total number of unreturned input and output messages is available as the ACTUAL VALUES STATUS DIRECT INPUTS
UNRETURNED MSG COUNT CH1 actual value.
5.3.18 Teleprotection
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP TELEPROTECTION
TELEPROTECTION TELEPROTECTION Range: Disabled, Enabled
FUNCTION: Disabled
This option is available when an Inter-Relay Communications card is specified at the time of ordering. With the
option, direct inputs/outputs display by default. When you enable the teleprotection feature, direct I/O is not
visible.
Digital teleprotection transfers protection commands between two or three relays in a secure, fast, dependable, and
deterministic way. Possible applications are permissive or blocking pilot schemes and direct transfer trip (DTT).
Teleprotection can be applied over any analog or digital channels and any communications media, such as direct fiber,
copper wires, optical networks, or microwave radio links. A mixture of communication media is possible.
Once teleprotection is enabled and the teleprotection input/outputs are configured, data packets are transmitted
continuously every 1/4 cycle (3/8 cycle if using C37.94 modules) from peer-to-peer. Security of communication channel
data is achieved by using CRC-32 on the data packet.
Teleprotection inputs/outputs and direct inputs/outputs are mutually exclusive. As such, they cannot be used
simultaneously. Once teleprotection inputs and outputs are enabled, direct inputs and outputs are blocked, and
vice versa.
NUMBER OF TERMINALS — Specifies whether the teleprotection system operates between two peers or three peers.
5
NUMBER OF CHANNELS — Specifies how many channels are used. If the NUMBER OF TERMINALS is “3” (three-terminal system),
set the NUMBER OF CHANNELS to “2.” For a two-terminal system, the NUMBER OF CHANNELS can set to “1” or “2” (redundant
channels).
LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER, TERMINAL 1 RELAY ID NUMBER, and TERMINAL 2 RELAY ID NUMBER — In installations that use
multiplexers or modems, it is desirable to ensure that the data used by the relays protecting a given line is from the correct
relays. The teleprotection function performs this check by reading the message ID sent by transmitting relays and
comparing it to the programmed ID in the receiving relay. This check is also used to block inputs if inadvertently set to
loopback mode or data is being received from a wrong relay by checking the ID on a received channel. If an incorrect ID is
found on a channel during normal operation, the TELEPROT CH1 ID FAIL or TELEPROT CH2 ID FAIL FlexLogic
operand is set, driving the event with the same name and blocking the teleprotection inputs. For commissioning purposes,
the result of channel identification is also shown in the STATUS CHANNEL TESTS VALIDITY OF CHANNEL
CONFIGURATION actual value. The default value of “0” for the LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER indicates that relay ID is not to be
checked. On two- terminals two-channel systems, the same LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER is transmitted over both channels; as
such, only the TERMINAL 1 ID NUMBER has to be programmed on the receiving end.
5.3.19 Installation
SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION RELAY SETTINGS: Range: Not Programmed, Programmed
Not Programmed
RELAY SETTINGS — To safeguard against the installation of a relay without any entered settings, the unit does not allow
signaling of any output relay until RELAY SETTINGS is set to "Programmed." This setting is "Not Programmed" by default. The
UNIT NOT PROGRAMMED self-test error message displays until the relay is put into the "Programmed" state.
RELAY NAME — This setting allows the user to uniquely identify a relay. This name appears on generated reports.
STATION NAME — This setting allows the user to associate the relay with the installed substation.
The remote resources settings configure a T35 with a Process Bus Module to work with HardFiber Bricks. Remote resources
configuration is only available through the EnerVista software, and is not available through the T35 front panel. A Brick
provides eight AC measurements, along with contact inputs, DC analog inputs, and contact outputs, to be the remote
interface to field equipment such as circuit breakers and transformers. The T35 with a Process Bus Module has access to
all of the capabilities of up to eight Bricks. Remote resources settings configure the point-to-point connection between
specific fiber optic ports on the T35 process card and specific Brick. The relay is then configured to measure specific
currents, voltages and contact inputs from those Bricks, and to control specific outputs.
The configuration process for remote resources is straightforward and consists of the following steps.
• Configure the field units. This establishes the point-to-point connection between a specific port on the relay Process
Bus Module, and a specific digital core on a specific Brick. This is a necessary first step in configuring a process bus
relay.
• Configure the AC banks. This sets the primary and secondary quantities and connections for currents and voltages. AC
bank configuration also provides a provision for redundant measurements for currents and voltages, a powerful
reliability improvement possible with process bus.
• Configure signal sources. This functionality of the T35 has not changed other than the requirement to use currents
and voltages established by AC bank configuration under the remote resources menu.
• Configure field contact inputs, field contact outputs, RTDs, and transducers as required for the application's
functionality. These inputs and outputs are the physical interface to circuit breakers, transformers, and other
equipment. They replace the traditional contact inputs and outputs located at the relay to virtually eliminate copper
wiring.
• Configure shared inputs and outputs as required for the application's functionality. Shared inputs and outputs are
distinct binary channels that provide high-speed protection quality signaling between relays through a Brick.
For additional information on how to configure a relay with a Process Bus Module, see the HardFiber Process Bus System
Instruction Manual.

Six banks of phase and ground CTs can be set, where the current banks are denoted in the following format (X represents
the module slot position letter):
Xa, where X = {F, M, U} and a = {1, 5}
See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for details.
These settings are critical for all features that have settings dependent on current measurements. When the relay is
ordered, the CT module must be specified to include a standard or sensitive ground input. As the phase CTs are connected
in wye (star), the calculated phasor sum of the three phase currents (IA + IB + IC = neutral current = 3I0) is used as the input
for the neutral overcurrent elements. In addition, a zero-sequence (core balance) CT which senses current in all of the
circuit primary conductors, or a CT in a neutral grounding conductor can also be used. For this configuration, the ground
CT primary rating must be entered. To detect low level ground fault currents, the sensitive ground input can be used. In this
case, the sensitive ground CT primary rating must be entered. See chapter 3 for more details on CT connections.
Enter the rated CT primary current values. For both 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, the entry would be 1000. For correct operation,
the CT secondary rating must match the setting (which must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
The following example illustrates how multiple CT inputs (current banks) are summed as one source current. Given the
following current banks:
• F1: CT bank with 500:1 ratio
• F5: CT bank with 1000:1 ratio
• M1: CT bank with 800:1 ratio
The following rule applies:
SRC 1 = F1 + F5 + M1 Eq. 5-6
1 pu is the highest primary current. In this case, 1000 is entered and the secondary current from the 500:1 and 800:1 ratio
CTs are adjusted to that created by a 1000:1 CT before summation. If a protection element is set up to act on SRC 1
currents, then a pickup level of 1 pu operates on 1000 A primary.
The same rule applies for current sums from CTs with different secondary taps (5 A and 1 A).
The T35 allows the reversal of the CT polarity for a single phase or three phases without changing the wiring of the relay CT
slots through settings PHASE CT F1 (Xa) POL and GROUND CT F1 (Xa) POL.
PHASE CT F1 POL — If CTs are wired with the correct polarity in all phases, i.e. CT polarity reversal is not required, “Standard”
should be selected. If CT polarity is incorrect in just one phase, then select “Inverted Ph-A (B or C)”; choosing the affected
phase. If CT polarities of all three phases are incorrect, select “Inverted-3Ph” to correct the CT polarities for all three phases.
It should be noted that the oscillography record will capture the CTs current signal as applied to the relay terminal
irrespective of this setting. This ensures correct relay behavior when recorded oscillography is played back to the relay.
GROUND CT F1 POL — If the ground CT is wired with the correct polarity, select “Standard” for this setting. If the Ground CT
polarity is incorrect, then select “Inverted” to correct it. It should be noted that the oscillography record will capture ground
CT current signal as applied to the relay terminal irrespective of this setting. This ensures the correct relay behavior when
recorded oscillography is played back to the relay.
It is important that the settings PHASE CT F1 POL and GROUND CT F1 POL are set to the correct values before putting
the relay into operation. Selecting the wrong value or changing this setting whilst relay is in operation would result
in undesirable operation of the protection and control functions.
Three banks of phase/auxiliary VTs can be set, where voltage banks are denoted in the following format (X represents the
module slot position letter):
Xa, where X = {F, M, U} and a = {5}
See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for details.
With VTs installed, the relay can perform voltage measurements as well as power calculations. Enter the PHASE VT F5
CONNECTION made to the system as “Wye” or “Delta.” An open-delta source VT connection is entered as “Delta.”
The nominal PHASE VT F5 SECONDARY voltage setting is the voltage across the relay input terminals when nominal
voltage is applied to the VT primary.
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage and with a 14400:120 volt VT in a delta
connection, the secondary voltage is 115; that is, (13800 / 14400) × 120. For a wye connection, the voltage value
entered must be the phase to neutral voltage, which is 115 / 3 = 66.4.
On a 14.4 kV system with a delta connection and a VT primary to secondary turns ratio of 14400:120, the voltage
value entered is 120; that is, 14400 / 120.
Any ordered module banks containing VTs must be plugged into slot F.

NOMINAL FREQUENCY — The power system NOMINAL FREQUENCY value is used as a default to set the digital sampling rate if
the system frequency cannot be measured from available signals. This can happen if the signals are not present or are
heavily distorted. Before reverting to the nominal frequency, the frequency tracking algorithm holds the last valid
frequency measurement for a safe period of time while waiting for the signals to reappear or for the distortions to decay.
When using a Process Bus Module and SV streams, the SV streams need to be defaulted before changing this setting, 5
under Settings > Process Bus Module > SV Stream Config. After changing the NOMINAL FREQUENCY, restart the relay using
Maintenance > Reboot Relay Command.
PHASE ROTATION — The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and
power parameters. The PHASE ROTATION setting matches the power system phase sequence and informs the relay of the
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be connected
to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.
FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE — This setting determines which signal source is used for frequency tracking and phase
angle reference. Within this source, a specific signal shall be selected for tracking frequency calculation and for the phase
angle reference, and such selection will be determined by SIGNAL TO TRACK setting below.
SIGNAL TO TRACK — This setting specifies the signal in a source to be used for tracking frequency calculation and for phase
angle reference.
When Auto is selected, the AC signal to be used in a source is prioritized based on the AC inputs configuration in this
source, in which phase voltages takes precedence, followed by the auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally
ground current, as it was in legacy UR f/w releases. With the Auto setting, the signal selection is static rather than dynamic,
i.e. AC signals are selected based upon the source configuration only, regardless of whether a particular signal is applied to
the relay or not. If VT or CT is selected (3-ph VT, 1-ph VT, 3-ph CT, 1-ph CT), the AC signal to be used is directly based on this
selection and will revert to nominal frequency if selected signal is below 0.06pu.
For the three-phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing (ANGLE REF = VA or IA), while Clarke transformation of
the phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking (VFREQUENCY = (2VA - VB - VC) / 3) for better performance
during fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
Phase angle of the reference signal always displays zero degrees and all other phase angles are relative to this signal. If
the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced to any external
AC signal and are referenced to the internal reference to continue maintaining proper phase relationship between all other
measured AC signal.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR-series relays if they
have the same AC signal reference. This results in very precise correlation of phase angle indications between different UR-
series relays.
ALTERNATE FREQ AND PHS REFERE — This setting determines the alternative source for frequency tracking and phase angle
reference. If the signal specified by the main FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting is lost, the reference will be
switched to this alternative reference.
The switching between the main reference and the alternative reference shall be allowed (activated) only if the following
conditions are true,
1. Frequency tracking is enabled, AND
2. The alternative reference is set to a source other than None, AND
3. The selected signals between main and alternative FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE are different.
Note that even the same source is selected in the main and in the alternative FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE, but
different signals are selected in the main and the alternative SIGNAL TO TRACK, the switching is also allowed (activated).
When main source signal becomes available again, relay will switch back to the main source.
ALT SIGNAL TO TRACK — Same as the SIGNAL TO TRACK setting in the main FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE, but the
signal defined here is used for the ALTERNATE FREQ AND PHS REFERENCE. When the same source is selected in both main
REFERENCE and alternate REFERENCE, the signal selected in this setting must be different from the signal selected in the
main REFERENCE, otherwise no switching is performed.
If neither main nor alternate signals are available, tracking frequency is reverting to nominal until either main or alternate
signals are available and measurable.
FREQUENCY TRACKING — Set it to “Disabled” only in unusual circumstances; consult GE Grid Solutions for special variable-
frequency applications.
The frequency tracking feature functions only when the T35 is in the “Programmed” mode. If the T35 is “Not
Programmed,” then metering values are available but can exhibit significant errors.

Systems with an ACB phase sequence require special consideration. See the Phase Relationships of Three-phase
Transformers section of chapter 5.
SOURCE 1 PHASE CT: Range: None, F1,... up to any 6 CTs. Only Phase CT
None inputs are displayed.
SOURCE 1 GROUND CT: Range: None, F1,... up to any 6 CTs. Only Ground CT
None inputs are displayed.
Identical menus are available for each source. The "SRC 1" text can be replaced by with a user-defined name appropriate
for the associated source.
The first letter in the source identifier represents the module slot position. The number directly following this letter
represents either the first bank of four channels (1, 2, 3, 4) called “1” or the second bank of four channels (5, 6, 7, 8) called
“5” in a particular CT/VT module. See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for details.
It is possible to select the sum of all CT combinations. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others are referred.
For example, the selection “F1+F5” indicates the sum of each phase from channels “F1” and “F5,” scaled to whichever CT
has the higher ratio. Selecting “None” hides the associated actual values.
The approach used to configure the AC sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type, ratio
and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each source is entered,
including specifying which CTs are summed together.

The disturbance detector responds to the change in currents of twice the current cut-off level. The default cut-off threshold
is 0.02 pu; thus by default the disturbance detector responds to a change of 0.04 pu. The metering sensitivity setting
(PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL) controls the sensitivity of the disturbance detector
accordingly.
This configuration can be used on a two-winding transformer, with one winding connected into a breaker-and-a-half
system. The following figure shows the arrangement of sources used to provide the functions required in this application,

When a FlexLogic operand assigned to SRC 1 SWITCH ALT CT/VT is logical "0," the analog data is processed from the main CT
and VT analog data banks. When this operand is logical "1," the analog data is processed from the alternate CT and VT
analog data banks.
Note that
• Banks assigned to the same function for the main and alternate input data have to have the same CTs and VTs
nominals and connections, otherwise a warning is generated and switching functionality is prohibited. For example,
banks assigned to the PHASE CT and ALT PHASE CT have to have same primary and secondary CT values. Ground CT
input has to be same type (cannot be one regular and another sensitive ground CT input).
• During switching from the main CT/VT input data to alternate input data and vice versa, all relay functions are blocked
for two power cycles and metering data does not update
• CT bank switching is allowed if both main and alternate CT banks have the exact same combination for CTs
summation
• When it is required that switching state from the main to alternate be memorized in case of T35 restart or when the
switching signal is a pulse by nature, such as a pushbutton or IEC 61850 GOOSE, use Non-volatile Latches
• Since switching occurs in both the Phase and Ground CT (Phase and Aux VT), it is possible to keep the same set, for
example phase bank under both the main source and alternate source, but different set for ground/aux signal
5.5.4 Transformer
5.5.4.1 Menu
SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP TRANSFORMER
TRANSFORMER GENERAL See below
The T35 provides primary protection for medium to high voltage power transformers. It performs this function on a variety
of power transformer configurations with up to six sets of three phase inputs available.
RATED WINDING TEMP Range: 55°C (oil), 65°C (oil), 80°C (dry), 115°C (dry),
RISE: 65°C (oil) 150°C (dry)
The general transformer settings apply to all windings. Settings specific to each winding are shown in the following section.
NUMBER OF WINDINGS — Selects the number of windings for transformer setup.
REFERENCE WINDING — Reference winding is the winding to which all other winding currents are scaled. That is, the
currents from all other windings are normalized (magnitude compensation) to this winding, and the per unit value of the
differential currents, the restraint currents, and the corresponding differential characteristics (pickup, break points, and so
on) are all based on the CT Nominal of this winding. The reference winding can be selected either automatically or
manually. When automatic reference winding selection is chosen, the winding with the smallest margin of CT primary
current with respect to the winding rated current is selected as the reference winding (see details in Magnitude
Compensation section later in this chapter). The selected reference winding can be viewed under Actual Values >
Metering > Transformer > Differential and Restraint.
In some applications where CT primary of the winding is much higher than the winding rated current, automatic
selection of reference winding can result in excessive magnitude compensation factor, and as a result can cause
the winding current clipping. Therefore, with the automatic selection of the reference winding, further checking is
required to ensure no winding currents after magnitude compensation can exceed 46 pu. If this happens, use
manual selection of reference winding to avoid this. See the T35/T60 Reference Winding Selection and CT Ratio
Mismatch Application Note (GET-8548) for information.
PHASE COMPENSATION — Selects the type of phase compensation to be performed by the relay.
If set to “Internal (software)”, the transformer phase shift is compensated internally by the relay algorithm.
If set to “External (with CTs)”, the transformer phase shift is externally compensated by the CT connections. The Delta
connected CTs on the Wye winding compensate the phase shift of the currents between the transformer primary and
secondary windings (see the following figure). This is the old way of phase compensation.
And also to measure the currents on both sides of the transformer that correspond to the transformation ratio, divide the
CT primary by SQRT 3. This compensates for the increase of SQRT 3 caused by the Delta CT connection.
Therefore, the Actual Value of current and power cannot be used for measurements in this case.
Figure 5-74: Wye winding and Delta CT connection
LOAD LOSS AT RATED LOAD — Take this setting from the transformer nameplate. If not available from the nameplate, the

setting value can be computed as P R = I n W u R , where In(w) is the winding rated current and R is the three-phase series
resistance. The setting is used as an input for the calculation of the hottest-spot winding temperature.
RATED WINDING TEMP RISE — This setting defines the winding temperature rise over 30 °C ambient temperature. The setting
is selected automatically for the transformer type as shown in the following table.

The aging acceleration factor is computed every minute. It has a value of 1.0 when the actual winding hottest spot
temperature is equal to the rated temperature, is greater than 1 if the actual temperature is above the rated temperature,
and less than 1 if the actual temperature is below the rated temperature.

Note that w = winding number, 1 to wtotal
The following transformer setup rules must be observed:
• The angle for the first winding from the transformer setup must be 0°, and the angles for the following windings must
be entered as negative (lagging) with respect to (WRT) the winding 1 angle
• The “Within zone” and “Not within zone” setting values refer to whether the winding is grounded. Select “Within zone”
if a neutral of a wye type winding, or a corner of a delta winding, is grounded within the zone, or whenever a
grounding transformer falls into the zone of protection.
• The connection status of a given winding with respect to the differential zone is provided dynamically by FlexLogic
operands (setting WINDING # STATUS). When the FlexLogic operand assigned to WINDING # STATUS is logical "1," the
corresponding winding is included with the differential zone. When the FlexLogic operand assigned to WINDING #
STATUS is logical "0," the corresponding winding is excluded from the differential zone. Typically, the operands formed
from the contact inputs that reflect positions of switches and/or breakers are used for such status control. If contact
discrepancy filtering is needed, accomplish this using appropriate FlexLogic to form a Virtual Output, representing the
current circuit status. If there is no need for a given winding to be dynamically switched in or out from the differential
zone, FlexLogic constant "On" can be used as the status, which has been preset as the default value of the STATUS
input of each winding.
Now assume that a source, with a sequence of ABC, is connected to transformer terminals ABC respectively. The currents
then present for a balanced load are shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-76: Phasors for ABC sequence
828717A1.CDR
Note that the delta winding currents lag the wye winding currents by 30° (in agreement with the transformer nameplate).
Now assume that a source, with a sequence of ACB is connected to transformer terminals ACB respectively. The currents
present for a balanced load are shown in the following figure.

$&'5
Note that the delta winding currents leads the wye winding currents by 30°, (which is a type Yd11 in IEC nomenclature and
a type Y/d330 in GE Multilin nomenclature) and which is in disagreement with the transformer nameplate. This is because
the physical connections and hence the equations used to calculate current for the delta winding have not changed. The
transformer nameplate phase relationship information is only correct for a stated phase sequence.
Phase relationship for the ACB sequence can be returned the transformer nameplate values by connecting source phases
A, B, and C to transformer terminals A, C, and B respectively. Although this restores the nameplate phase shifts, it causes
incorrect identification of phases B and C within the relay and is therefore not recommended.
All information presented in this manual is based on connecting the relay phase A, B, and C terminals to the power system
phases A, B, and C respectively. The transformer types and phase relationships presented are for a system phase
sequence of ABC, in accordance with the standards for power transformers. Users with a system phase sequence of ACB
must determine the transformer type for this sequence.
If a power system with ACB rotation is connected to the Wye winding terminals 1, 2, and 3, respectively, from a Y/d30
transformer, select a Power Rotation setting of ACB in the relay and enter data for the Y/d330 transformer type.

5.5.4.6 Phase and zero sequence compensation
Power transformers can be connected to provide phase shift, such as the common Δ-Y connection with its 30° phase shift.
Historically, CT connections were arranged to compensate for this phase error so that the relaying operated correctly.
In our example, the transformer has the Δ-Y connection. Traditionally, CTs on the Wye connected transformer winding
(winding 2) are connected in a delta arrangement, which compensates for the phase angle lag introduced in the Delta
connected winding (winding 1), so that line currents from both windings can be compared at the relay. The Delta
connection of CTs, however, inherently has the effect of removing the zero sequence components of the phase currents. If
there is a grounding bank on the Delta winding of the power transformer within the zone of protection, a ground fault
results in differential (zero sequence) current and false trips. In such a case, it is necessary to insert a zero sequence current
trap with the Wye connected CTs on the Delta winding of the transformer.
In general, zero sequence removal is necessary if zero sequence can flow into and out of one transformer winding but not
the other winding. Transformer windings that are grounded inside the zone of protection allow zero sequence current flow
in that winding, and therefore it is from these windings that zero sequence removal is necessary.
The T35 performs this phase angle compensation and zero sequence removal automatically, based on the settings
entered for the transformer. All CTs are connected Wye (polarity markings pointing away from the transformer). All currents
are phase and zero sequence compensated internally before the calculation of differential and restraint quantities.
The phase reference winding (wf) is the winding to have a phase shift of 0° applied to it. For the ease of entering settings,
the T35 allows the user to enter the phase angles with respect to Winding 1. Internally, however, the delta or zigzag (non-
wye) winding with the lowest winding index is selected as a reference winding and all other winding angles are adjusted to
this reference based on WINDING ~ ANGLE WRT WINDING 1. For a transformer that has no delta or zigzag windings, Winding
1 is chosen as a phase reference winding.
The phase compensation angle (Φcomp), the angle by which a winding current is shifted to refer it to the phase reference
winding, is calculated by the T35 for each winding as follows:
Φcomp[w] = | Φ[wf ] – Φ[w] | where Rotation = “ABC” Eq. 5-15
Φcomp[w] = | Φ[w] – Φ[wf ] | where Rotation = “ACB” Eq. 5-16
In our example, the phase reference winding is winding 1, the first delta winding (that is, wf = 1). The phase compensation
angle for each winding is then calculated as follows (assuming Rotation = “ABC”):
Φcomp[1] = 0° – 0° = 0° Eq. 5-17
Φcomp[2] = 0° – (–30°) = 30° = 330° lag Eq. 5-18
The following table shows the linear combination of phases of a transformer winding that achieves the phase shift and
zero sequence removal for typical values of Φcomp
where
IA[w] = uncompensated winding ‘w’ phase A current
IAp[w] = phase and zero sequence compensated winding ‘w’ phase A current

The breaker control element contains the auxiliary logic for status and serves as the interface for opening and closing of a
circuit breaker from protection, autoreclose, SCADA, or through the front panel interface. The breaker control element can
be used to create interlocking functionality. For greater security in determination of the breaker position, both the 52/a and
52/b auxiliary contacts are used with reporting of the discrepancy between them.
To use this element, configure the contact outputs that trip and close the breaker to use FlexLogic operands BREAKER 1
OFF CMD (or BREAKER 1 TRIP A/B/C in the case of single-pole tripping) and BREAKER 1 ON CMD, and configure the
breaker control element inputs as described here.
A description of the operation of the breaker control and status monitoring features from the front panel is provided in
chapter 4.
BKR INTERM & BAD ST TIMERS — When set to “Common”, the breaker element considers both “00” and “11” states of 52a and
5 52b as an intermediate state and when the Toperate timer expires, declares the breaker as bad status. When set to
“Distinct”, the breaker element considers “00” state of 52a and 52b as an intermediate state and “11” as bad status. When
the breaker status detected is 00, the breaker element waits for the Toperate timer to expire before declaring the
intermediate state. When the breaker status detected is 11, the breaker element waits for the Bad ST Tsuppress timer to
expire before declaring the bad state. See breaker logic diagrams 2 and 4.
The following settings are available for each breaker control element.
BREAKER 1 FUNCTION — This setting enables and disables the operation of the breaker 1 control feature.
BREAKER 1 NAME — Assign a user-defined name (up to six characters) to the breaker. This name is used in flash messages
related to breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 MODE — Selects “3-Pole” mode, where all breaker poles are operated simultaneously, or selects “1-Pole” mode
where all breaker poles are operated either independently or simultaneously.
BREAKER1 ΦA/3P OPND — Selects an operand, usually a contact input, that is for a normally-closed 52/b status input that
creates a logic 1 when the breaker is open. If a separate 52/b contact input is not available, then the inverted 52/a status
signal or the inverted BREAKER 1 CLOSED status signal can be used.
BREAKER1 ΦA/3P CLSD — Selects an operand, usually a contact input connected to a breaker auxiliary position tracking
mechanism. This input is for a normally-open 52/a status input that creates a logic 1 when the breaker is closed. If the
BREAKER 1 MODE setting is selected as “3-Pole” this setting selects a single 52/a input as the operand used to track the
breaker open or closed position. If the mode is selected as “1-Pole” the input mentioned is used to track phase A and the
BREAKER 1 ΦB and BREAKER 1 ΦC settings select operands to track phases B and C, respectively.
BREAKER1 ΦB OPENED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B opened position as outlined for phase A.
BREAKER1 ΦB CLOSED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B closed position as outlined for phase A.
BREAKER1 ΦC OPENED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C opened position as outlined for phase A.
BREAKER1 ΦC CLOSED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C closed position as outlined for phase A.
BREAKER 1 ALARM PDisc DELAY — This setting specifies the delay interval during which a disagreement of status among the
pole position tracking operands does not declare a pole discrepancy. This allows for non-simultaneous operation of the
poles.
If single-pole tripping and reclosing is used, the breaker can trip unsymmetrically for faults. In this case, the minimum
alarm delay setting must exceed the maximum time required for fault clearing and reclosing by a suitable margin.
BREAKER 1 EXT ALARM — This setting selects an operand, usually an external contact input connected to a breaker alarm
reporting contact. While the selected operand is active, the BREAKER 1 TROUBLE operand is activated.
BREAKER 1 RACKED-IN — This setting selects a contact input to show whether the breaker is racked-in or racked-out. The
racked-in or racked-out status is used to indicate dynamically the status of breaker symbol, only applied in the single-line
diagram on the graphical front panel. If this setting is set to Off, the racked status is not considered.
BREAKER 1 OUT OF SV — Selects an operand indicating that breaker 1 is out-of-service.
BREAKER 1 OPEN CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Breaker 1 open/trip command. Open command is not executed
when blocked by the operand assigned to BREAKER 1 BLK OPEN setting.
BRK1 COMMS OPEN CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Breaker 1 open command. The setting is intended for
commands received via communication protocols (DNP3, IEC104 and Modbus) to be supervised by IED Local/Remote
status. The open command is not executed if IED is in the local mode or blocked by the operand assigned to BREAKER 1 BLK
OPEN setting.
BREAKER 1 CLOSE CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Breaker 1 close command. Close command is not executed when
blocked by operand assigned to BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE setting.
BKR 1 COMMS CLS CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Breaker 1 close command. The setting is intended for commands
received via communication protocols (DNP3, IEC104 and Modbus) to be supervised by IED Local/Remote status. The close
command is not executed if the IED is in local mode or blocked by the operand assigned to BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE setting.
BREAKER 1 PB CONTROL — Local breaker control operations (that is, open/close) are allowed from front panel pushbuttons
when the selected operand value is high.
5
BREAKER 1 TOPERATE — This setting specifies the required interval to overcome transient disagreement between the 52/a
and 52/b auxiliary contacts during breaker operation. If transient disagreement still exists after this time has expired, the
BREAKER 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted for alarm or blocking purposes.
BREAKER 1 BAD ST TSUPPRESS — When the BKR INTERM & BAD ST TIMERS setting is set to “Distinct” this setting specifies the
required interval to overcome the transient state of 11 during the breaker operation. If the 11 state still exists after this
time, the BREAKER 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted. When the BKR INTERM & BAD ST TIMERS setting is set to
“Common” this setting is not used.
MANUAL CLOSE RECAL1 TIME — This setting specifies the seal-in time of the close commands due to an operator-initiated
manual close command to the circuit breaker.
BREAKER 1 OPEN SEAL-IN — This setting specifies the seal-in time of the three-pole open command initiated by either the
Trip Out element or a manual open command to the circuit breaker.
BREAKER 1 BLK OPEN — Selects an operand that prevents initiation of Breaker 1 open and individual phase trip commands.
This setting can be used for blocking circuit breaker tripping for instance when breaker monitoring detects conditions such
as low SF6 gas density during which breaker opening can cause damage.
BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE — Selects an operand that prevents initiation of Breaker 1 close commands. This setting can be used
for blocking circuit breaker closing, for instance to prevent closing into a closed ground switch.
BRK1 BLK BYPASS — Set to “Enable” to allow the graphical front panel to bypass breaker 1 blocking. When asserted, BREAKER
1 BLK OPEN and BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE settings are bypassed. This setting is only available if the order code includes GFP.
BREAKER 1 TAGGING — Breaker tagging is used to block certain operation when it is tagged for safety purposes. No other
action is needed after enabling the function; it is handled internally where certain functions are blocked.
Set to “Enable No Override” to allow the graphical front panel or IEC 61850 MMS control to tag breaker 1. When tagged
from the graphical front panel, tagging can be removed only from the graphical front panel, and an attempt to remove
tagging using IEC 61850 MMS control results in a negative response (-Rsp). When tagged from IEC 61850 MMS control,
tagging can be removed only by MMS control.
Set to “Enable With Override” to allow the graphical front panel or IEC 61850 MMS control to tag breaker 1. When tagged
from the graphical front panel, tagging can be removed only from the graphical front panel, and an attempt to remove
tagging using IEC 61850 MMS control results in a negative response (-Rsp). When tagged from IEC 61850 MMS control,
tagging can be removed by MMS control or from the graphical front panel. That is, the graphical front panel has an
override function.
When tagged, the following operations are disabled: pushbutton open/close, IEC 61850 open/close, and close command
initiated by BREAKER 1 CLOSE setting. The trip command issued by the Trip Out element or BREAKER 1 OPEN setting is not
affected. This setting is only available if the order code includes GFP.
BREAKER1 SUBSTITUTN — Set to “Enable” to allow the graphical front panel/IEC 61850 to substitute breaker 1 status. When
substituted, breaker 1 control open/close status is forced to the substituted value. This setting is only available if the order
code includes GFP.
BRK1 CILO INTRLK TO LOCAL CTRL — Set to “Enable” to allow CILO interlock to apply to front panel and FlexLogic operand
controls. This setting is available only if the order code includes IEC 61850.
BRK1 CILO INTERLOCK GFP BYPASS — Set to “Enable” to allow the graphical front panel to bypass the CILO interlock for front
panel and FlexLogic operand controls. This setting is available only if the order code includes IEC 61850 and GFP.
BREAKER 1 LOCAL — Set in the EnerVista software or via SCL file. It selects an operand that indicates the Breaker in the
switch yard is in Local or Remote mode. When the operand value is set, it indicates that the Breaker is in Local mode. For
the IEC 61850 order code option, refer to the below Control Authority table for control behavior.
BRK1 BLK MNL CMD IN LOCAL — When set to “Enabled” and the BREAKER 1 LOCAL operand state is logic “1” (i.e. the Breaker is
in Local mode and Bkr0XCBR1.Loc is TRUE), manual commands originating from the front panel pushbuttons, graphical
front panel and BREAKER 1 OPEN/CLOSE CMD are blocked. When set to “Disabled”, manual commands originating from relay
are allowed even when the Breaker is in Local mode (BREAKER 1 LOCAL operand state is logic “1”). Please refer to the Control
Authority table below for control behavior. This setting is available only if the order code includes IEC 61850.
5 BKR1 CSWI LOC STAT — Selects an operand that indicates the breaker residing in that bay is in Local or Remote mode. When
the operand state is logic “1”, the bay is considered in Local mode and when the operand state is “0”, the bay is considered
in Remote mode. The operand status is modeled in the IEC 61850 server using the respective breaker’s CSWI Loc data
object and the user should refer to the operand status in the Control Authority table below to determine the control
authority for different levels. This setting is available only if the order code includes IEC 61850.
BKR1 STATION AUTHOR — Selects an operand that indicates the Station level authority status. The operand status is modeled
in the IEC 61850 server using the respective breaker’s CSWI LocSta data object the user should refer to the operand status
in the Control Authority table below to determine the control authority for different levels. This setting is available only if the
order code includes IEC 61850.
BREAKER 1 OPEN INTERLOCK — Selects an operand that indicates the interlock status for the Breaker Open commands. This
operand state is mapped directly to the IEC 61850 BkrCILO1.EnaOpn.stVal, which is used to reject the IEC 61850 open
command when the selected operand state is at logic “0” (BkrCILO1.EnaOpn.stVal is set to false). However, the IEC 61850
client can select to check or skip the interlock condition to execute the command using the “Check” parameter in control
command.
Additionally, the interlock condition can be applied to the local commands as well, which can originate from the front local
HMI, front panel push buttons, graphical front panel (GFP) and FlexLogic Operands assigned to BREAKER 1 OPEN CMD
setting. This is achieved by selecting setting BRK1 CILO INTRLK TO LOCAL CTRL as “Enabled”. This setting is available only if the
order code includes IEC 61850.
BREAKER 1 CLOSE INTERLOCK — Selects an operand that indicates the interlock status for the Breaker Open commands. This
operand state is mapped directly to the IEC 61850 BkrCILO1.EnaCls.stVal, which is used to reject the IEC 61850 close
command when the selected operand state is at logic “0” (BkrCILO1.EnaCls.stVal is set to false). However, the IEC 61850
client can select to check or skip the interlock condition to execute the command using the “Check” parameter in control
command.
Additionally, the interlock condition can be applied to the local commands as well, which can originate from the front local
HMI, front panel push buttons, graphical front panel (GFP) and FlexLogic Operands assigned to BREAKER 1 CLOSE CMD
setting. This is achieved by selecting setting BRK1 CILO INTRLK TO LOCAL CTRL as “Enabled”. This setting is available only if the
order code includes IEC 61850.
BREAKER 1 SYNCCHECK CLOSE - Selects an operand that indicates the status of the synchrocheck function of the Breaker.
When the operand value is set, the remote commands from IEC 61850 client are rejected if the IEC 61850 client set the
synchrocheck bit in the “Check” parameter of the control command. This setting is only available if the order code includes
IEC 61850.
BREAKER 1 POS-REACHED CHECK — When “Enabled”, the IEC 61850 control value is checked for current Breaker status and is
rejected if the command value (Open/Close) from IEC 61850 client match with the present Breaker status. When “Disabled”,
the current Breaker status is not verified to accept the control. This setting is only available if the order code includes IEC
61850.
Before software release version 7.90, ST.LOC OPERAND, INTERLOCK OPN, INTERLOCK CLS and SYNCCHECK CLOSE
settings were available in IEC 61850 configurator under System Setup > Breaker. From version 7.90 onwards, the
above mentioned settings were removed from the IEC 61850 configurator and merged with the Breaker settings
screen under Settings > System Setup > Breakers (outside the IEC 61850 configurator). Also, the name of the setting
ST.LOC OPERAND has been changed to LOCAL.
BREAKER 1 LOCAL, INTERLOCK OPEN, INTERLOCK CLOSE, SYNCCHECK CLOSE settings are not available on the front panel
and can be configured either from EnerVista Software or via SCL files. Refer to the MICS document online for
respective settings modeling in SCL files. BREAKER 1 POS-REACHED CHECK is only configurable via EnerVista
software.
Control authority
Within the substation, control commands to the primary equipment, such as the breaker or disconnect switch, can be
originated from one of three levels - Bay, Station or Remote. Station level commands are those originating from either the
substation gateway or from the station HMI and Remote commands are from the remote Network Control Center (NCC).
Bay level commands, however, are commands originating from bay devices such as bay controllers (e.g. C264) or IEDs
(protection relays), either using 61850 control services or using non-61850 control methods (front panel pushbuttons,
graphical front panel or commands initiated through FlexOperands).
5
Under certain operational conditions, such as during maintenance, it is necessary to block commands from one or more of
these levels. The local/remote control feature (described in IEC61850 7-4: Annex B) allows users to enable or disable control
authority from one or more of the three levels, as illustrated in the below table. IEC61850 commands originating from the
various levels are differentiated using the Origin.OrCat attribute value in the 61850 command. The IEC61850 7-4 Local/
Remote table is extended with Bay level non-61850 commands and those commands are only allowed when the Bay level
has the control authority.

The breaker element has direct hard-coded connections to the IEC 61850 model as shown in the logic diagram. This allows
remote open/close operation of each breaker, using either CSWI or XCBR IEC 61850 logical nodes. IEC 61850 select-before-
operate functionality, local/remote switch functionality, along with blocking of open/close commands are provided. Note
that the dwell time for the IEC 61850 trip and close commands shown is one protection pass only. To maintain the close/
open command for a certain time, do so by setting the seal-in timers BREAKER 1 OPEN SEAL-IN and MANUAL CLOSE RECAL1
TIME, on the contact outputs using the “Seal-in” setting, in the Trip Output element, and/or in FlexLogic.

The disconnect switch control element contains the auxiliary logic for status and serves as the interface for opening and
closing of disconnect switches from SCADA or through the front panel interface. The disconnect switch control element
can be used to create interlocking functionality. For greater security in determination of the switch pole position, both the
89/a and 89/b auxiliary contacts are used with reporting of the discrepancy between them. The number of available
disconnect switches is four per breaker. The disconnect switch control element is executed and status updated every ½
power cycle.
To use this element, configure the contact outputs that open and close the disconnect switch to use FlexLogic operands
SWITCH 1 OFF CMD and SWITCH 1 ON CMD, and configure the disconnect switch control element's inputs as outlined
here.
SW INTERM & BAD ST TIMERS — When set to “Common” the switch element considers both “00” and “11” states of 89/a and
89/b as intermediate state and when the Toperate timer expires, declares the switch as bad status. When set to “Distinct”
the switch element considers “00” state of 89/a and 89/b as intermediate state and “11” as bad status. When the switch
status detected is 00, the switch element waits for Toperate timer to expire before declaring the intermediate state. When
the switch status detected is 11, the switch element waits for Bad ST Tsuppress timer to expire before declaring the bad
state. See the switch logic diagrams 2 and 4.
SWITCH 1 FUNCTION — This setting enables and disables operation of the disconnect switch element.
SWITCH 1 NAME — Assign a user-defined name (up to six characters) to the disconnect switch. This name is used in flash
messages related to disconnect switch 1.
SWITCH 1 MODE — This setting selects “3-Pole” mode, where disconnect switch poles have a single common auxiliary
switch, or “1-Pole” mode where each disconnect switch pole has its own auxiliary switch.
SWTCH 1 ΦA/3P OPND — This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input, that is for a normally-closed 89/b status
input that creates a logic 1 when the disconnect switch is open. If a separate 89/b contact input is not available, then an
inverted 89/a status signal can be used.
5 SWTCH 1 ΦA/3P CLSD — This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input connected to a disconnect switch auxiliary
position tracking mechanism. This input is for a normally-open 89/a status input that creates a logic 1 when the
disconnect switch is closed. If the SWITCH 1 MODE setting is selected as “3-Pole,” this setting selects a single 89/a input as
the operand used to track the disconnect switch open or closed position. If the mode is selected as “1-Pole,” the input
mentioned is used to track phase A and the SWITCH 1 ΦB and SWITCH 1 ΦC settings select operands to track phases B and
C, respectively.
SWITCH 1 ΦB OPENED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the disconnect switch phase B opened position as outlined for phase A.
SWITCH 1 ΦB CLOSED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the disconnect switch phase B closed position as outlined for phase A.
SWITCH 1 ΦC OPENED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the disconnect switch phase C opened position as outlined for phase A.
SWITCH 1 ΦC CLOSED — If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected as single-
pole, this input is used to track the disconnect switch phase C closed position as outlined for phase A.
SWITCH 1 ALARM PDisc DELAY — This setting specifies the delay interval during which a disagreement of status among the
pole position tracking operands do not declare a pole discrepancy. This allows for non-simultaneous operation of the
poles.
SWITCH 1 OPEN CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Switch 1 open command. Open command is not executed when
blocked by the operand assigned to SWITCH 1 BLK OPEN setting.
SW1 COMMS OPEN CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Switch 1 open command. The setting is intended for commands
received via communication protocols (DNP3, IEC104 and Modbus) to be supervised by IED Local/Remote status. The open
command is not executed if the IED is in local mode or blocked by the operand assigned to SWITCH 1 BLK OPEN setting.
SWITCH 1 CLOSE CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Switch 1 close command. Close command is not executed when
blocked by operand assigned to SWITCH 1 BLK CLOSE setting.
SW1 COMMS CLS CMD — Selects an operand that initiates Switch 1 close command. The setting is intended for commands
received via communication protocols (DNP3, IEC104 and Modbus) to be supervised by IED Local/Remote status. The close
command is not executed if the IED is in local mode or blocked by the operand assigned to SWITCH 1 BLK CLOSE setting.
SWITCH 1 PB CONTROL — Local disconnect switch control operations (for example, open/close) are allowed from front panel
pushbuttons when the selected FlexLogic operand value is high.
SWITCH 1 TOPERATE — This setting specifies the required interval to overcome transient disagreement between the 89/a
and 89/b auxiliary contacts during disconnect switch operation. If transient disagreement still exists after this time has
expired, the SWITCH 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted for alarm or blocking purposes.
SWITCH 1 BAD ST TSUPPRESS — When the SW INTERM & BAD ST TIMERS setting is set to “Distinct” this setting specifies the
required interval to overcome the transient state of 11 during the switch operation. If the 11 state still exists after this time,
the SWITCH 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted. When the SW INTERM & BAD ST TIMERS setting is set to
“Common” this setting is not used.
SWITCH 1 OPEN SEAL-IN — This setting specifies the seal-in time of the open command due to an operator-initiated manual
open command to the disconnect switch.
SWITCH 1 CLOSE SEAL-IN — This setting specifies the seal-in time of the close command due to an operator-initiated manual
close command to the disconnect switch.
SWITCH 1 BLK OPEN — This setting selects an operand that prevents initiation of the disconnect Switch 1 command. This
setting can be used to block the disconnect switch from opening, for instance when switch yard monitoring indicates that
current exceeding the switch's interrupting rating can be flowing through the switch.
SWITCH 1 BLK CLOSE — This setting selects an operand that prevents initiation of disconnect Switch 1 close commands. This
setting can be used to block the disconnect switch from closing, for instance to prevent closing into a closed ground
switch.
SWITCH 1 BLK BYPASS —Set to “Enable” to allow the graphical front panel to bypass switch 1 interlocking. When asserted,
SWITCH 1 BLK OPEN and SWITCH 1 BLK CLOSE settings are bypassed. This setting is available only if the order code includes
GFP.
SWITCH 1 TAGGING — Switch tagging is used to block certain operation when it is tagged for safety purposes. No other
action is needed after enabling the function; it is handled internally where certain functions are blocked. 5
Set to “Enable No Override” to allow the graphical front panel or IEC 61850 MMS control to tag switch 1. When tagged from
the graphical front panel, tagging can be removed only from the graphical front panel, and an attempt to remove tagging
using IEC 61850 MMS control results in a negative response (-Rsp). When tagged using IEC 61850 MMS control, tagging can
be removed only by MMS control.
Set to “Enable With Override” to allow the graphical front panel or IEC 61850 MMS control to tag switch 1. When tagged
from the graphical front panel, tagging can be removed only from the graphical front panel, and an attempt to remove
tagging using IEC 61850 MMS control results in a negative response (-Rsp). When tagged from IEC 61850 MMS control,
tagging can be removed by MMS control or from the graphical front panel. That is, the graphical front panel has an
override function.
When tagged, the following operations are disabled:
• Pushbutton open/close
• IEC 61850 open/close
• Open command initiated by SWITCH 1 OPEN setting
• Close command initiated by SWITCH 1 CLOSE setting
This setting is available only if the order code includes GFP.
SWITCH 1 SUBSTITUTN — Set to “Enable” to allow the graphical front panel to substitute switch 1 status. When substituted,
switch 1 control open/close status is forced to the substituted value. This setting is available only if the order code includes
GFP.
SWITCH 1 LOCAL — Set in the EnerVista software or via SCL file. It selects an operand that indicates the Switch control
behavior from an IEC 61850 client. When the operand value is set, it indicates the Switch in Local mode and the remote
commands from IEC 61850 client are blocked.
SW1 BLK MNL CMD IN LOCAL — When set to “Enabled” and the SWITCH 1 LOCAL operand state is logic “1” (i.e. the Switch is in
Local mode and Disc0XSWI1.Loc is TRUE), manual commands originating from the front panel pushbuttons, graphical front
panel and SWITCH 1 OPEN/CLOSE CMD are blocked. When set to “Disabled”, manual commands originating from relay are
allowed even when the Switch is in Local mode (SWITCH 1 LOCAL operand state is logic “1”). Please refer to the table in the
Control Authority section above for further information on control behavior. This setting is available only if the order code
includes IEC 61850.
SW1 CSWI LOC STAT — Selects an operand, that indicates the switch residing in that bay is in Local or Remote mode. When
the operand state is logic “1”, the bay is considered in Local mode and when the operand state is “0”, the bay is considered
in remote mode. The operand status is modeled in IEC 61850 server using respective Switch CSWI Loc data object and the
user should refer to the operand status in the table in the Control Authority section above to determine the control
authority for different levels. This setting is available only if the order code includes IEC 61850.
SW1 STATION AUTHOR — Selects an operand, that indicates the Station level authority status. The operand status is modeled
in IEC 61850 server using respective breaker’s CSWI LocSta data object and the user should refer to the operand status in
the table in the Control Authority section above to determine the control authority for different levels. This setting is
available only if the order code includes IEC 61850.
SWITCH 1 OPEN INTERLOCK — Selects an operand that indicates the interlock status for the Switch Open commands. This
operand state is mapped directly to the IEC 61850 DiscCILO1.EnaOpn.stVal, which is used to reject the IEC 61850 open
command when the selected operand state is at logic “0” (DiscCILO1.EnaOpn.stVal is set to false). However, the IEC 61850
client can select to check or skip the interlock condition to execute the command using the “Check” parameter in control
command.
Additionally, the interlock condition can be applied to the local commands as well, which can originate from the front local
HMI, front panel push buttons, graphical front panel (GFP) and FlexLogic Operands assigned to SWITCH 1 OPEN CMD setting.
This is achieved by selecting setting SW1 CILO INTRLK TO LOCAL CTRL as “Enabled”. This setting is available only if the order
code includes IEC 61850.
SWITCH 1 INTERLOCK CLOSE — Selects an operand that indicates the interlock status for the Switch Close commands. This
operand state is mapped directly to the IEC 61850 DiscCILO1.EnaCls.stVal, which is used to reject the IEC 61850 close
command when the selected operand state is at logic “0” (DiscCILO1.EnaCls.stVal is set to false). However, the IEC 61850
5 client can select to check or skip the interlock condition to execute the command using the “Check” parameter in control
command.
Additionally, the interlock condition can be applied to the local commands as well, which can originate from the front local
HMI, front panel push buttons, graphical front panel (GFP) and FlexLogic Operands assigned to SWITCH 1 CLOSE CMD
setting. This is achieved by selecting setting SW1 CILO INTRLK TO LOCAL CTRL as “Enabled”. This setting is available only if the
order code includes IEC 61850.
SWITCH 1 POS-REACHED CHECK — Set in the EnerVista software. When “Enabled”, the IEC 61850 control value is checked for
current Switch status and is rejected if the command value (Open/Close) from IEC 61850 client match with the present
Switch status. When “Disabled”, the current Switch status is not verified to accept the control. This setting is only available
if the order code includes IEC 61850.
Before software release version 7.90, ST.LOC OPERAND, INTERLOCK OPN and INTERLOCK CLS settings were available in
IEC 61850 configurator under System Setup > Switches. From version 7.90 onwards, the above mentioned settings
were removed from the IEC 61850 configurator and merged with the Breaker settings screen under Settings >

FlexCurves A through D have settings for entering times to reset and operate at the following pickup levels: 0.00 to 0.98
and 1.03 to 20.00. This data is converted into two continuous curves by linear interpolation between data points. To enter a
custom FlexCurve, enter the reset and operate times (using the VALUE keys) for each selected pickup point (using the
MESSAGE up/down keys) for the required protection curve (A, B, C, or D).
The relay using a given FlexCurve applies linear approximation for times between the user-entered points. Take
care when setting the two points that are close to the multiple of pickup of 1; that is, 0.98 pu and 1.03 pu. It is
recommended to set the two times to a similar value, otherwise the linear approximation can result in undesired
behavior for the operating quantity that is close to 1.00 pu.

The Multiplier and Adder settings only affect the curve portion of the characteristic and not the MRT and HCT
settings. The HCT settings override the MRT settings for multiples of pickup greater than the HCT ratio.
5.5.7.4 Example
A composite curve can be created from the GE_111 standard with MRT = 200 ms and HCT initially disabled and then
enabled at eight times pickup with an operating time of 30 ms. At approximately four times pickup, the curve operating
time is equal to the MRT and from then onwards the operating time remains at 200 ms.

The UR provides a digital process bus by use of a Process Bus Module. A digital process bus enables digital transmission of
data between the switchyard and relays in a control house using communication cables instead of hard-wired
connections.
The Process Bus Module supports the IEC 61850-9-2LE and IEC 61869 protocols, switched networks, and two redundancy
protocols (Parallel Redundancy Protocol and High-Availability Seamless Redundancy). The module is used to transfer data
streams in protection and control networks, including dataset samples referred to as sampled values (SVs), with the
stability of redundancy.
A Process Bus Module with order code 85, 86, or 87 is distinct from the HardFiber Process Bus Module with order code 81.
This section does not apply to the HardFiber module.
Configuration includes that for redundancy and synchronization of time-clock sources because data transfer occurs
among multiple devices.
For any device that is connected to a copper SFP of the Process Bus Module, set its port speed to Auto Negotiate.
The copper SFP supports 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps speeds in auto-negotiate mode. If the device connecting to the
Process Bus Module has a fixed port speed, does not support auto-negotiation, or its auto-negotiate is disabled,
then the link speed of the copper SFP is fixed at 1 Gbps and it communicates only with a device that supports 1
Gbps.

5.6.1 Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP)
PRP enables seamless switchover and zero recovery time during a single network failure in substation automation
networks. It ensures that critical data, such as GOOSE and sampled value (SV) data, are transmitted without delay in case
of local area network (LAN) defects. In other words, with PRP functionality, the Process Bus Module can be connected to
redundant LANs and work with zero recovery time.
PRP is supported to the IEC 62439-3:2012 standard, Clause 4.
The figure shows that PRP achieves redundancy by using a combination of frame and LAN duplication. Identical frames,
here labeled frames A and B, are sent on two independent networks that connect source and destination. The frames carry
GOOSE or supervisory data. Under normal circumstances, both frames reach the destination and one of them is sent up
the stack to the destination application, while the other frame is discarded. If an error occurs in one of the networks and
traffic is prevented from flowing on that path, connectivity is provided by the other network to ensure continuous
communication. When designing this network care was taken to ensure that there is no single point of failure in the two
LANs, such as a common power supply, as such scenarios can bring down simultaneously both LANs.

PRP implements redundancy in the nodes rather than in the network by using specialized nodes called Doubly Attached
Nodes Running PRP (DANP) for handling the duplicated frames. The figure shows an example. Each DANP node has two
ports that are connected to the two independent LANs with similar (but not necessarily identical) topology. A source DANP
sends identical frames over both LANs and a destination DANP receives both frames from the two LANs within a certain
time period, consumes the first frame, and discards the duplicate frame.
Each UR device in this example implements PRP on ports 1a and 1b of the Process Bus Module. Both URs require a Process
Bus Module. Ports 1a and 1b act as DANP in the PRP network. With two ports required, Process Bus Modules with order
code 85, 86, or 87 can be used. While this example shows a UR as receiving the frames, the receiver can be a merging unit
or UR.
A device with only one port, such as a printer or computer, is called a Singly Attached Node (SAN). It is a node with non-
redundant network adapters. A SAN can communicate with other SANs and DANPs on the same LAN. When a SAN is
attached to a redundant LAN by a Redundancy Box (RedBox) device, the SAN can communicate with all DANPs and SANs
in both LANs. In other words, if redundancy for a SAN is required, the SAN is connected to both LANs through a RedBox.
A merging unit (MU), such as the GE MU320, is an interface between analog and digital worlds. With an MU, the analog
signals from the CTs and VTs in the yard are converted to digital signals and transmitted via the sampled value (SV)
network communication protocol.
The bridges shown are network switches that connect devices participating in the PRP network and otherwise do not have
an active role in PRP.
HSR is used in network topology with rings and rings of rings. All nodes in the ring are doubly attached. The figure shows an
example. The Doubly Attached Node with HSR (DANH) is a node that has two ports interconnected by full-duplex links and
participates in the HSR ring. The source node receives a frame from its upper layer, inserts an HSR tag to identify
duplicates, and sends it over its two ports in different directions, shown by the red and blue arrows. In a normal, fault-free
state, the identical frames reach the destination DANH within a certain interval, the destination DANH removes the HSR
tag, sends the first frame up the stack to the destination application and discards the second frame. If an error occurs in
one of the network nodes and traffic cannot flow on that path, connectivity is provided through the other direction and
ensures continuous communication.

A Singly Attached Node, or SAN, such as a computer or printer, is a node with non-redundant network adapters. It uses a
redundancy box (RedBox) to connect to the ring.
A merging unit (MU), such as the GE MU320, is an interface between analog and digital worlds. With an MU, the analog
signals from the CTs and VTs in the yard are converted to digital signals and transmitted via the sampled value (SV)
network communication protocol.
A UR with the Process Bus Module implements either single or dual HSR capability. It supports hierarchical ring topologies,
such as connected rings, mesh topology, and an HSR ring in a PRP network.
In single HSR configuration, ports 1a and 1b of the Process Bus Module act as DANH, and any other ports on the Process
Bus Module are disabled. Point-to-point configuration is not available. For single HSR, Process Bus Module 85, 86, or 87 can
be used.
In dual HSR configuration, the UR to connect to two independent HSR rings. Ports 1a and 1b form one DANH node, and
ports 3a and 3b form the second DANH node. Any other ports on the module are disabled. Traffic from HSR-1 ring is not
forwarded to the HSR-2 ring and vice versa. The UR does not facilitate any message communication between the two
independent HSR rings. In dual HSR, with four ports required, a Process Bus Module with order code 86 or 87 can be used.
While the UR does not provide RedBox functionality, an HSR ring can be connected to a PRP network using two RedBoxes,
one for each redundant LAN of the PRP network. The RedBoxes are configured to handle PRP frames on the interlinks and
HSR frames on the HSR ring. As per the IEC 62439-3:2016 standard, up to seven PRP networks can be connected to the
same HSR ring.
While the UR does not provide QuadBox functionality, a QuadBox can be added to interconnect two HSR rings, which is
beneficial when traffic on a single ring exceeds the ring’s capability.

Relay restart is not required when changing these port function fields.
SV TRBL PRT BLOCK — In case of loss of any subscribed SV streams or due to bad quality of any subscribed SV frames, the
protection functions of the relay need to be blocked to avoid undesired operation. This setting specifies the type of
blocking applied.
When set to Global, all the protection functions that utilize the sampled values are blocked. Communications, data logging,
and oscillography remain functional. Availability of switchgear control is determined by the SV TRBL CONT OP BLK operand.
When set to Partial, only those protection functions are blocked that utilize the sampled values from the affected SV
stream. All other protection functions remain operational. Communications, data logging, and oscillography remain
functional. Availability of switchgear control is determined by the SV TRBL CONT OP BLK operand.
SV TRBL CONT OP BLK — Selects a FlexLogic operand that determines if the contact outputs are blocked or not. When the
state of the operand is low, the contact outputs are not blocked when there is a loss of any SV stream or received SV
frames have bad quality. The user can execute control action, thus, enabling switchgear control through contact outputs
during SV stream trouble.
When the operand is high, the contact outputs are blocked when there is a loss of any SV stream or received SV frames
have bad quality. The switchgear control is not available through contact outputs during SV stream trouble.
SV DELAY ALARM — The sampled value (SV) frames can arrive with a delay from the MUs, which can be due to the MU
performance or different network path delays. This setting specifies the maximum delay expected between the time a
sample is taken at the MU and the time of arrival of that SV message, where sampling time is estimated based on the UR
Process Bus Module clock and the sampling rate. If the calculated frame delay is more than this setting value, the RxSV#
Delay Alm On FlexLogic operand asserts. The setting value needs to be calibrated and set at the commissioning time for
the given network topology. An alarm in runtime indicates the network performance is degrading over the time. In short,
this setting specifies how long the UR waits to declare that a sample is delayed. Protection is not blocked by this setting.
QUALITY CHECK — Flags are used to assess quality of sampled value data to ensure protection. This setting specifies how
5 the sampled values are processed by the UR when the associated q.validity is set to Questionable. Quality is checked per
AC bank, not per SV stream.
When set to Reject Questionable, the questionable data is treated the same as Invalid and the frame is rejected. Only Good
quality data is accepted.
Set it to Accept Questionable only if it is absolutely known that questionable quality from a MU is not compromising the
quality of the data for various applications. When set to Accept Questionable, the Good and Questionable quality data are
accepted.
ANTI-ALIASING FILTER — This setting activates or deactivates the anti-aliasing filter, which conditions the sampled values
from the Process Bus network.
If Merging Unit providing sampled values is applying anti-aliasing filter, then this setting has to be set to Disabled.
Otherwise, it can be set to Enabled to apply filtering for the received sampled values. When Enabled, the device applies a
low-pass-filter attenuating all the harmonics above the 15th order harmonics. Refer the Product Specifications chapter for
measurement accuracy for the higher harmonics.
SMPSYNCH CHECK — This setting is a time synchronization check. It specifies the time synchronization source of an SV
stream (SmpSynch attribute value in an SV message header) expected by the UR Process Bus Module.
When set to “Global”, only the SV streams with SmpSynch indicating a Global (2) value are accepted. A stream with a
SmpSynch value other than Global (2) is rejected.
When set to “Local” or “Local-87L”, all SV streams with SmpSynch indicating a Local (1) or Global (2) area clock are
accepted.
When set to “Any”, any SmpSynch value in the range of 0 to 254 is acceptable (0 to 127 for UR 7.80), and streams outside
the range are rejected.
When all the subscribed MU streams support IEC61850 Ed 2.1, an additional acceptance criterion as outlined in the
description of setting Fallback GmID, has been added from UR version 8.5 and onwards.
Fallback GmID:
TARGET — This setting is available in the EnerVista software, where the user can select the target messages of the affected
SV stream(s) to be displayed on the front panel. The target gets self-reset once the issue with the SV stream is resolved.
Note that a selected target message applies to all the configured SV streams. For example, if target message 'RxSV DELAY
ALM ON' is selected, then a target displays when any of the configured SV streams has an active SV Delay Alarm. When set
to Disabled, no target message displays on the front panel.
Figure 5-101: FlexLogic operand target selection
EVENTS — This setting is available in the EnerVista software, where user can select the flexlogic operands which will
generate the events of the affected SV stream(s), to be recorded in the event recorder. Note that a selected event from the
menu applies to all the configured SV streams. When set to Disabled, no event is recorded in the event recorder.
5
Choose carefully the events to be recorded in the event recorder. If an SV stream is noisy, there is risk of event
recorder overflow. Apart from testing, select a minimal number of events following relay commissioning.
• The window is configured based on the separate areas and not based on columns. For example, stream RxSV1 is
configured in the SV Messages area of the window, not the first column in the entire window. Or for example, Source1
in the first column can be configured to use AC Bank B2 in the second column.
• The following example shows that Source1 at the bottom of the window is set to map to AC Bank B2, which is mapped
to the first stream (RxSV1) and its available VT1 phase voltage and VT2 neutral voltage.
Figure 5-104: Understanding SV configuration
• The UR allows switching AC banks (essentially streams) from the main measuring MU to the alternate measuring MU.
Once an operand assigned to the SWITCH ALT CT/VT setting is logical "1," the input data to this source is switched from
the banks assigned to PHASE CT/GROUND CT to the banks assigned to ALT PHASE CT/ALT GROUND CT settings for
current transformers. This is similar for voltage transformers.
• Banks assigned to the same function for the main and alternate input data have to have the same CT and VT
nominals and connections, otherwise a warning is generated and switching functionality is prohibited. For example,
banks assigned to the PHASE CT and ALT PHASE CT have to have same primary and secondary CT values.
• During switching from the main CT/VT input data to alternate input data and vice versa, all relay functions are blocked
for two power cycles and metering data does not update
• See the Source Switching section under SETTINGS > SYSTEM SETUP > SIGNAL SOURCES in this manual for application
examples of AC bank switching
Figure 5-105: Example three phases, one neutral, then three phases and one neutral
5.6.4.1 Logic
The logic diagram follows.
SV streams are accepted based on the following settings that need to match the MU:
• SmpSynch Check — Time synchronization check as outlined earlier in the General section
• Quality Check — Outlined earlier
• svID — Multicast Sampled Value Identification of a stream
• Dst MAC — Destination Media Access Control address in the header of the SV message
• ConfRev — When the configuration revision is non-zero, the UR accepts the frame when it matches its configured
value
The relay decodes an SV stream when the DstMAC attribute of the injected SV stream matches any of the
configured SV stream subscriptions.
Each qualified SV stream (that is, with matching svID, Dst MAC, and ConfRev) that is mapped to any of the AC Banks is
checked for the SV delay, matching Sim bit, time synchronization source, and quality checks.
When four samples in 1/8th of power cycle duration fail any of these checks, a corresponding FlexLogic operand is
asserted, with a drop-out timer of one protection pass. The drop-out timer is retriggered each time that the check fails.
The RxSV# Lost FlexLogic operand is set when consecutive 160 samples (two cycles) are lost following the assertion of SV
DELAY ALARM. The time accuracy for the assertion of this operand can be up to two protection passes.
The RxSV# Off FlexLogic operand is set when the "Miss Sample Algorithm" fails (for example, due to temporary loss of
stream or stream rejected due to any condition check failure) or the stream is lost, with a drop-out time of 17 protection
passes. Every "Miss Sample Algorithm" fail condition for that RxSV# stream retriggers the drop-out timer for the RxSV# Off
operand.
• When a SV frame is received with simulation bit TRUE, the FlexLogic operand for the corresponding stream is set as
RxSV# SimBit On. After the latest change in simulation bit as recorded by the "Latest Sim Bit Change" time stamp, the
relay takes 4 to 8 msec to process and assert the RxSV# SimBit On FlexLogic operand.
• If SV messages with simulation bit TRUE are not received, the RxSv# continues to use the actual SV frames
• When the value of @Master/LPHD1.Sim.stVal changes from TRUE to FALSE
– Subscribed SV messages with simulation bit TRUE are ignored immediately after this change
– Only subscribed SV messages with simulation bit FALSE are accepted
5.6.4.5 Settings
The following settings are available.
RxSV Format
Range: IEC 61850-9-2LE r2-1, IEC 61869-9 ed1.0
Default: IEC 61850-9-2LE r2-1
This setting selects the SV frame format, or protocol.
When set to “IEC 61850-9-2LE r2-1”, the IED assumes that the received SV frame references datasets that comply with
IEC 61850-9-2LE, Table 6: Dataset (PhsMeas1). The IED must be configured with a system frequency of 50 or 60 Hz for
correct operation.
When set to “IEC 61869-9 ed1.0”, the IED assumes that the dataset rules comply with IEC 61869-9 ed1.0 and that the
number of Application-layer Service Data Units (ASDUs) are user-configurable.
When a file using a single SV stream (either IEC 61850-9-2LE r2-1 or IEC 61869-9 ed1.0) is converted from firmware
version 8.2x and below to firmware versions 8.3x and above, the conversion will complete with no errors and the
RxSV Format setting will have the same value as the original file. 5
If there is a mix of SV streams in the original file, then the user will be notified of this error and all configured SV
streams will be set to the SV Stream default; “Disabled”. The RxSV Format setting will also default to “IEC 61850-9-2LE
r2-1”.
SV Stream
Range: Disabled, Enabled
Default: Disabled
This setting enables an SV stream. When set to “Disabled”, all other RxSV# settings are not editable and set to default.
svID
Range: 1 up to 129 Visible String characters
Default: empty string
svID refers to the name of the sampled value packet. The svID field of incoming SV messages must exactly match this
value for the message to be accepted as a valid RxSV# message. The svID field of the sampled value frame must be
unique within the system/substation.
Dst MAC
Range: any valid multicast MAC (12-digit hexadecimal number)
Default: 01-0C-CD-04-00-00
Only received SV messages having a destination Media Access Control (MAC) address equal to this value are accepted as
valid RxSV# messages. Each address must be unique.
The destination MAC increases the overall performance of multicast message reception by filtering only the configured
messages for processing. For a received SV message, the Dst MAC is validated if it matches with any of the configured
RxSV# Dst MAC. If validation is successful, the message is forwarded for further checks. There is no explicit check for the
configured Dst MAC versus the SvID for a received SV message.
ConfRev
Range: 0 to 2147483647 in steps of 1
Default: 0
ConfRev refers to configuration revision, which is a count of configuration changes in the SV control block. If the value
entered here is non-zero, the ConfRev field of incoming SV messages must match this value for the message to be
accepted as a valid RxSV# message. If the setting is zero, RxSV# does not check the value received in the ConfRev field.
Force MU Out of Service
Range: FlexLogic operand
Default: Off
This setting is intended specifically for forcing a faulty Merging Unit (MU) out of service in applications where a circuit can
be energized from more than one side, such as breaker and a half application, and the redundancy at MU level is not
available. For such application current from both sides are summed up using UR source mechanism and if one MU fails,
it will block all protection functions from using this source.

For example, in the above figure it is possible to open Breaker1 and still keep the system energized through Breaker 2. The
setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE allows MU1to be taken out of service while keeping the protection and control elements
operational by using the RxSV stream from MU2 only. If redundancy is available at MU level, then the protection can be
kept operational without using setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE, through the Cross-checking functionality. Please refer to
the description of settings CROSS-CHECKING, PHASE ORIGIN 1, 2 and NEUTRAL ORIGIN 1, 2 for more details.
To put an MU out of service, the corresponding breaker has to be opened before asserting the FlexLogic selected in the
setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE to the “ON” state. The MU can now be disconnected for troubleshooting purposes. The
current channels from the affected MU will be treated as “online” with sampled current values forced to ZEROs. The
protection using respective source remains operational based on the current values sent by the other MU which is located
on the closed breaker side.
It should be noted that:
• Keeping RxSV online (with current substituted as ZEROs) is applicable to current channels only. The status of voltage
channels will become “Offline”, and the protection elements will get blocked according to the setting SV TRBL PRT
BLOCK.
• The FlexLogic operands on the SV Config logic show the actual state of the affected the RxSV stream (i.e., RxSV# Off/
On), irrespective of setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE being “Off” or “On”.
The user must ensure that the primary circuit to which the affected MU is connected remains de-energized for the
entire duration of forcing MU out of service, otherwise the protection elements will mal-operate. The circuit should
be de-energized before changing the setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE to “On”. The circuit should be energized only
after the setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE is set to “Off”.
SV stream processing FlexLogic operands must not be used to automate FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE. It is strongly
recommended that FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE is manually controlled (for example, through a pushbutton, contact
input, virtual input, or GOOSE).
The setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE is intended for applications where a breaker can be opened, and the
corresponding MU can be taken out of service while the circuit is energized through another breaker such as in
breaker-and-a-half application. For any other application, the use of this setting should be carefully evaluated.
Application of the setting FORCE MU OUT OF SERVICE together with cross-checking function is not recommended.
Stream Status
This is an LED status indicator for the reception of an SV stream (RxSV#).
A green LED reflects the RxSV# On FlexLogic operand, meaning that the SV stream is online.
A red LED reflects the RxSV# Off FlexLogic operand, meaning that the SV stream is offline.
When the EnerVista UR Setup software is not online or the stream is disabled, the LED is grayed-out with Not Available,
or “-NA-” status.
Advanced Configuration
Click the button to display or hide the fields.
These are settings to import an MU CID file and/or support IEC 61869-9 based SV streams, as per Table 902 on Standard
sample rates. IEC 61869-9 allows flexibility on numbers of current and voltage channels. It can be in one of these 5
sequences: A, B, C, N or A, AB, B, BC, C, CA, N. The UR supports up to eight CT channels and up to eight VT channels and
one or two ASDUs for protection applications. The following settings are active when the SV Stream field is set to IEC
61869-9, and they also depend on the MU Variant Code.
MU SCL Import
Use this feature to configure SV streams by importing an MU CID file. The setting file comparison with IEC 61869-9-2LE
configuration is not available. The IEC 61850 Merge feature with IEC 61869-9-2LE is not available.
Upon clicking the Import button and selecting a .cid file, a window appears from which to select the stream to import.
Figure 5-108: Selecting a stream to import from a merging unit CID file
• A configured Phase consumes three analog channels and Aux consumes one analog channel, with a maximum of 24
channels
SvCBRef
Range: 0 up to 129 alphanumeric, underscore, slash, and period characters, beginning with an alpha character
Default: empty string
This field is read-only. When imported, the MU SCL file populates this field. The value is an ObjectReference to the
publishing control block in the format:
<LDName>/LLN0.<SvCBName>
where <LDName> is the function-related name, if any, of the logical device containing the publishing control block,
otherwise the product-related name of that logical device, and <SvCBName> is the name of the publishing control block.
When RxSV# is configured manually, the field is empty.
CT Channels
Range: 0 to 8
Default: 4
This setting specifies the number of CT channels available in the subscribed RxSV# message from the publisher MU. The
CT-1 fields reflect the number selected here. The number of current quantities matches the number specified by the
Variant Code of the MU.
Typically, a CT channel includes four current channels (three phase-ground currents and one ground/neutral/earth
current). A current channel is the combination of the current sample value attribute (AmpSv.instMag.i) and the
subsequent quality attribute (AmpSv.q).
If CT Channels is 4, CT1-A/B/C/N are supported for the stream.
If CT Channels is 8, CT2-A/B/C/N also are supported for the stream.
5 If CT Channels is 0, no CT channels display for AC input selection.
This setting is read-only and fixed at 4 when an SV Stream is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE.
If a message displays that "the number of channels being selected for CT inputs...exceeds the total allowable 4 CT
channels," it means that the CT Channels field is set at 4 and there are entries in the CT2-A/B/C/N fields. Set the latter
fields to None or increase the number of channels.
VT Channels
Range: 0 to 8
Default: 4
This setting specifies the number of VT channels in the subscribed RxSV# message from the publisher MU. Typically, VT
channels include four voltage channels (three phase-ground voltages and auxiliary voltage). This setting specifies the
number of voltage channels in the subscribed RxSV# message. The voltage channel is the combination of voltage
sample value attribute (VolSv.instMag.i) and the corresponding quality attribute (VolSv.q). The VT-1 fields reflect the
number selected here. The number of voltage quantities matches the number specified by the Variant Code of the
dataset.
If VT Channels is 4, VT1-A/B/C/N are supported for the stream.
If VT Channels is 8, VT2-A/B/C/ also are supported for the stream.
If VT Channels is 0, no VT channels display for AC input selection.
This setting is read-only and fixed at 4 when an SV Stream is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE.
If a message displays that "the number of channels being selected for VI inputs...exceeds the total allowable 2 VT
channels," it means that the VT Channels field is set at 2 and there are more than two entries in the VT1-A/B/C/N fields.
The number of configured VT1 fields needs to match the VT Channels field.
ASDUs
Range: 1, 2
Default: 1
This setting specifies the number of Application-layer Service Data Units (ASDUs) concatenated in one Application
Protocol Data Unit (APDU) in the subscribed RxSV# message. When concatenating several ASDUs into one frame, the
ASDU with the oldest samples is the first one in the frame.
This setting is read-only and set at the default when an SV Stream is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE. When SV Strem is set to IEC
61869-9, this setting can only be set to the default value 1 in UR8.50 , it can be set to other value in the previous versions.
Recycle power to the relay when changing this setting.
Variant Code
The EnerVista software auto-populates the Variant Code for the RxSV# message based on the settings Sample Rate, the
number of ASDUs, the number of CT Channels, and the number of VT Channels configured.
For example, F4800S2I8U0 describes sampled values with 4800 samples per second, two ASDU (samples) per message,
8 currents, and no voltages.
As another example, F4800S1I8U4 means sampled values with 4800 samples per second, 1 ASDU per message, 8 CT
channels, and 4 VT channels.
This field is read-only as per IEC 61869-9: 2016, Clause-6.903.2.
The number of samples (sample rate) in the variant code is set based on the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP POWER
SYSTEM NOMINAL FREQUENCY setting. This value displays 4000 Hz for 50 Hz nominal frequency. This value displays
4800 Hz for 60 Hz nominal frequency or any other nominal frequency except 50 Hz. IEC 61869-9 suggests the 4800 Hz
sample rate for general measuring and protective applications, regardless of the power system frequency.
CT1-A/B/C
Range: None, AC1 to AC16
Default: AC1/AC2/AC3
This setting specifies the sequence of Analog Channel (per phase) that is mapped to the CT-1 of the corresponding
stream. An origin to CT Phase input defines the physical measurement input to the CT bank by mapping specific AC
inputs from that merging unit (or SV message).
The fields are active when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61869-9. The CT1 phases are available if the number of CT
Channels is 4 or below. CT2 is added if CT Channels is 5 or higher.
The fields are set to the defaults and are read-only when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE.
5
CT1- N
Range: None, AC1 to AC16
Default: AC4
This setting specifies the Analog Channel that is mapped to the CT ground/neutral input. An origin to CT1-N input
defines the physical measurement input to the CT bank by mapping specific AC inputs from that MU (or SV message). If
the MU does not publish any CT1-N inputs, configure the setting as None.
In the EnerVista software, the CT Aux input setting only populates the current channels of that RxSV#.
This CT Aux input setting is active when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61869-9.
This CT Aux input setting is set to AC4 and is read-only when the SV Stream is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE.
VT1-A/B/C
Range: None, AC1 to AC16
Default: AC5/AC6/AC7
This setting specifies the Analog Channel (per phase) that is mapped to the VT1- phase inputs. An origin to VT Phase
input defines the physical measurement input to the VT bank by mapping specific AC inputs from that MU (or SV
message). If the MU does not publish any VT channels, configure the setting as None.
The VT1 phase fields are active when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61869-9. The VT1 phases are available if the
number of VT Channels is 4 or below. VT2 is added if VT Channels is 5 or higher.
The fields are set to the defaults and are read-only when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE.
VT1-N
Range: None, AC1 to AC16
Default: AC8
This setting specifies the Analog Channel that is mapped to the VT Aux/neutral input. An origin to VT input defines the
physical measurement input to the VT bank by mapping specific AC inputs from that MU (or SV message). If the MU does
not publish any VT1-N inputs, configure the setting as None.
In the EnerVista software, the VT Aux input setting only populates the voltage channels of that RxSV#.
The VT1-N input setting is active when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61869-9.
The VT1-N input setting is set to the default and is read-only when the SV Stream field is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE.
AC BANKS
The UR platform supports up to six AC Banks. They can be CT or VT banks (similar to SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC
INPUTS CURRENT/VOLTAGE BANK). That is, each AC Bank can be configured either as current or voltage (not both). If
configured as current, inapplicable voltage settings (such as VT ratio, VT secondary) are inactive. Similarly, if a bank is
configured as voltage, current settings (such as CT primary, CT secondary) are inactive. In addition, bank level
redundancy (that is, Origin-1 and Origin-2) is supported using crosschecking of each channel signal received from two
different SV streams that are connected to the same electrical point on the primary power system. A maximum 24
channels can be configured to the AC Banks.
Click the button to display or hide the fields.
The following settings are available for each AC bank.
Each Phase Origin setting consumes three phase channels Ia/Va, Ib/Vb, or Ic/Vc, and a Neutral Origin setting consumes
one ground or Aux Channel In/Vn, which means that
– An AC Bank with Phase Origin1 and Neutral Origin1 settings configured consumes four channels
– An AC Bank with both Phase Origin 1 and Phase Origin 2 and both Neutral Origin 1 and Neutral Origin 2 settings
configured consumes eight channels
A maximum of 24 channels can be configured to the AC Banks.
For changes in this section, restart the relay, for example using Maintenance > Reboot Relay Command.
Phase Origin 1, 2
5 Range: None, RxSV1-CT1/PHS, RxSV1-VT1/PHS to RxSV8-CT1/PHS, RxSV8-VT1/PHS
Default: None
An origin to an AC bank defines the physical measurement input to the bank by mapping specific AC inputs from a
specific MU to the bank.
The UR Process Bus Module provides for the reliability of AC values for protection, metering, and oscillography by
allowing duplicate origins of AC data. An origin is considered unavailable when set to None. If origin 1 is available, the
relay uses the values from origin 1 for protection, metering, and oscillography. Otherwise if origin 2 is available, the relay
uses the values from origin 2. If both origins are unavailable, then the bank AC values are forced to zero to prevent
ambiguity of measurement.
With crosschecking, the relay can use different origins. See the Crosschecking setting for information regarding
automatic protection blocking possibilities on loss of one or both origins.
The two-phase origins in an AC bank must be of the same type and connected to the same electrical point in the primary
power system. The two origins must be two currents with the same CT settings, or two voltages with the same VT
settings. The current/voltage type of the phase and auxiliary origins must also match on each AC bank. It is intended
that the origin AC inputs measure the same primary quantity with the same ratio. The same ratio and connection
settings are applied to both origins.
Neutral Origin 1, 2
Range: None, RxSV1-CT1/NTR, RxSV1-VT1/ NTR to RxSV8-CT1/NTR, RxSV8-VT1/ NTR
Default: None
These settings specify the field units that are the origins of the auxiliary input IN or VN. Duplicate auxiliary origins are
supported in the same way as phase origins.
The two auxiliary origins in an AC bank must be of the same type. The two origins must be two currents with the same CT
secondary setting, or two voltages. The current/voltage type of the phase and auxiliary origins also must match on each
AC bank. It is intended that the origin AC inputs measure the same primary quantity with the same ratio. The same ratio
and connection settings are applied to both origins.
Crosschecking
Range: None, Depend Origin-1 Pref, Depend Origin-2 Pref
Default: None
The crosschecking feature allows application-level redundancy by checking between two independent SV streams from
the same electrical connection of the instrument transformers. In addition to the network redundancy provided by PRP/
HSR, the UR Process Bus Module allows the relay to communicate with redundant merging units.
When set to None, crosschecking is disabled. Use this on a non-protection-critical AC bank, such as one used for a
synchrocheck voltage. GE strongly recommends setting it to None when redundancy is not supported at the merging
unit level; otherwise the "ACBank# Orig1(2) In Use" operand status is inaccurate.
Origin preference is supported in case of discrepancy in dependability mode. This allows testing (secondary injection) or
replacement of an MU that is configured to non-preferred origin without affecting protection functions since these
functions are using a preferred origin stream when online. As such, dependability with Origin-1 preference allows
continued use of Origin-1 in case of discrepancy between both online origin stream sampled values. Similarly,
dependability with Origin-2 preference allows continued use of Origin-2 in case of discrepancy between both online
origin stream sampled values.
The table shows how the Crosschecking setting, the availability of AC bank origins, and discrepancy checks determine
whether protection is blocked. Blocked here means only protection elements. It does not inhibit metering, actual values,
oscillography, or other functions.
When set to Depend Origin-1 Pref, protection is blocked if there is no good signal from both the Origin-1 and Origin-2
sources. When both the merging unit sources are good, the preference is given always for Origin-1. When the preferred
MU sources fails, the alternate MU source is used for protection and measurement.
When set to Depend Origin-2 Pref, protection is blocked if there is no good signal from both the Origin-1 and Origin-2
sources. When both the merging unit sources are good, the preference is given always for Origin-2. When the preferred
MU sources fails, the alternate MU source is used for protection and measurement.
5
While switching from a preferred to non-preferred channel, the protection functions are delayed for two cycles.
While switching back to a preferred channel, the protection functions are delayed for one cycle.
Origin1 becomes offline and switches to Origin2 for the following reasons:
• When more than three of five frame samples received are invalid or a frame with sequence number is received after
three consecutive missed frames for any channel of origin.
The reason for invalid frames can be any of the following reasons:
– If one or more AmpSv.q or VolSv.q attribute(s) are invalid from the assigned SV frame channels to the AC bank
origin
– When “Quality Check” is set to 'Reject questionable' data, the data with q.validity = questionable is processed as
invalid
– When the relay is in-service or the test function is Disabled, the SV data with q.test set to TRUE is processed invalid
– When received SV frames with Sim Bit TRUE, the frame is invalid unless the value of @Master/LPHD1.Sim.stVal is
true (that is Settings > Simulation > GOOSE/SV > Accept Sim GOOSE&SV or Settings > Simulation > Subscribe
to Simulated Values > Simulation Mode is set to Enabled)
– If the value of @Master/LPHD1.Sim.stVal is TRUE, once a subscribed SV messages with simulation bit TRUE are
received, subscribed SV messages with simulation bit FALSE are invalid until @Master/LPHD1.Sim.stVal is set to
FALSE
– SV streams with “SmpSync” value out of the following specified ranges are rejected:
i. When the “SmpSynch Check” is set to “Global” (2), SV streams with “SmpSynch” value set to Global (2) are
accepted
ii. When the “SmpSynch Check” is set to “Local” (1), SV streams with “SmpSynch” value set to Global (2) or Local (1)
are accepted
iii. When the “SmpSynch Check” is set to “Any” (0 to 254), SV streams with “SmpSynch” value set in the range of 0
to 254 are accepted. For 7.80 version, the accepted range is 0 to 127.
• SV frames are delayed/not received for more than 1.9 power system cycles
The selected Origin quality will be the quality of the AC Bank.
If both Origins have invalid quality, then the AC Bank data is marked as invalid and does not participate in protection.
Phase/Ground CT Primary
Range: 1 to 65000 A insteps of 1
Default: 1
5 Enter the rated CT primary current value in Amperes. For 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, enter 1000.
Phase/Ground CT Secondary
Range: 1A, 5A
Default: 1A
Enter the rated CT secondary current value in Amperes. For correct operation, the CT secondary rating must match the
setting (that must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
Phase CT Polarity
Range: Standard, Inverted-3ph, Inverted Ph-A, Inverted Ph-B, Inverted Ph-C
Default: Standard
If CTs are wired with the correct polarity in all phases, i.e. CT polarity reversal is not required, “Standard” should be
selected. If CT polarity is incorrect in just one phase, then select “Inverted Ph-A (B or C)”; choosing the affected phase. If
CT polarities of all three phases are incorrect, select “Inverted-3Ph” to correct the CT polarities for all three phases. It
should be noted that the oscillography record will capture the CTs current signal as applied to the relay terminal
irrespective of this setting. This ensures correct relay behavior when recorded oscillography is played back to the relay.
Ground CT Polarity
Range: Standard, Inverted
Default: Standard
If the ground CT is wired with the correct polarity, select “Standard” for this setting. If the Ground CT polarity is incorrect,
then select “Inverted” to correct it. It should be noted that the oscillography record will capture ground CT current signal
as applied to the relay terminal irrespective of this setting. This ensures the correct relay behavior when recorded
oscillography is played back to the relay.
It is important that the settings PHASE CT POLARITY and GROUND CT POLARITY are set to the correct values before
putting the relay into operation. Selecting the wrong value or changing this setting whilst relay is in operation would
result in undesirable operation of the protection and control functions.
If the user intends to use the crosschecking functionality (redundancy at MU level), then this setting should be used
carefully to ensure that CT Polarity is the same on both MUs on each phase/neutral channel.
SIGNAL SOURCES
Click the button to display or hide the fields. The first six Sources are the platform sources and can accept both current
banks and voltage banks and are associated with AC bank 1 to 6. The first six sources allow current summation for
phase and auxiliary CTs.

section in the software window before setting this field. The AC Bank selected can match the Origins fields and Sources,
such as a Phase CT set at B1 with Phase Origin 1 RxSV1-CT1/PHS and source SRC1. Another example is to use Phase CT
set at B2 with Phase Origin 1 RxSV2-CT1/PHS and source SRC2.

Default: Off
This setting is for switching the alternate source on or off.
5.7 FlexLogic
5.7.1 FlexLogic operands
For flexibility, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed parameters. Logic upon
which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from contact input signals through elements or
5 combinations of elements to contact outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all variable logic through
FlexLogic. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs that it uses to produce analog and digital outputs. The
figure shows major subsystems of a generic UR-series relay involved in this process.

The states of all digital signals used in the T35 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic operands, which are described later in
this section). A digital “1” is represented by a set flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an
element from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate a contact output. The state
of the contact input can be displayed locally or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. If a simple
scheme where a contact input is used to block an element is wanted, this selection is made when programming the
element. This capability also applies to the other features that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes,
and human operators.
If more complex logic than shown in the figure is required, it is implemented via FlexLogic. For example, to have the closed
state of contact input H7a and the operated state of the phase undervoltage element block the operation of the phase
time overcurrent element, the two control input states are programmed in a FlexLogic equation. This equation ANDs the
two control inputs to produce a virtual output that is then selected when programming the phase time overcurrent to be
used as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can only be created by FlexLogic equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks, blocking, or
supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic minimizes the requirement for
auxiliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.
The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes, and outputs is field-programmable through the use
of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to hardware is
available internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic).
FlexLogic allows users to customize the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands. The
operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes, and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers, and latches (with
set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of operands to be assigned as inputs to
specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual output.
Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as a
seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.
Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations of
parameters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (=ON, or flag set) or 0
(=OFF, or flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least four times every power system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances, for example contact and remote inputs. These types
of operands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the front panel display. The table lists characteristics
of the different types of operands.

Some operands can be re-named. These are the names of the breakers in the breaker control feature, the ID (identification)
of contact inputs and outputs, the ID of virtual inputs, and the ID of virtual outputs. If the user changes the default name or
ID of any of these operands, the assigned name appears in the relay list of operands. The default names are shown in the
FlexLogic operands table.
The characteristics of the logic gates are tabulated in the following table, and the operators available in FlexLogic are
listed in the FlexLogic operators table.
FlexLogic provides built-in latches that by definition have a memory action, remaining in the set state after the set
input has been asserted. These built-in latches are reset dominant, meaning that if logical "1" is applied to both set
and reset entries simultaneously, then the output of the latch is logical "0." However, they are volatile, meaning that
they reset upon removal of control power.
When making changes to FlexLogic entries in the settings, all FlexLogic equations are re-compiled whenever any
new FlexLogic entry value is entered, and as a result of the re-compile all latches are reset automatically.
To implement FlexLogic using a graphical user interface, see the FlexLogic Design and Monitoring using Engineer
section in the previous chapter.

virtual output designation (1 to 256) can be assigned only once.

1. Inspect the example logic diagram to determine if the required logic can be implemented with the FlexLogic
operators. If this is not possible, the logic must be altered until this condition is satisfied. Once done, count the inputs
to each gate to verify that the number of inputs does not exceed the FlexLogic limits, which is unlikely but possible. If
the number of inputs is too high, subdivide the inputs into multiple gates to produce an equivalent. For example, if 25
inputs to an AND gate are required, connect Inputs 1 through 16 to AND(16), 17 through 25 to AND(9), and the outputs
from these two gates to AND(2).
Inspect each operator between the initial operands and final virtual outputs to determine if the output from the
operator is used as an input to more than one following operator. If so, the operator output must be assigned as a
virtual output.
For the example shown, the output of the AND gate is used as an input to both OR#1 and Timer 1, and must therefore
be made a virtual output and assigned the next available number (that is, Virtual Output 3). The final output must also
be assigned to a virtual output as virtual output 4, which is programmed in the contact output section to operate relay
H1 (that is, contact output H1).
Therefore, the required logic can be implemented with two FlexLogic equations with outputs of virtual output 3 and
virtual output 4, shown as follows.

2. Prepare a logic diagram for the equation to produce virtual output 3, as this output is used as an operand in the virtual 5
output 4 equation (create the equation for every output that is used as an operand first, so that when these operands
are required they already have been evaluated and assigned to a specific virtual output). The logic for virtual output 3
is shown as follows with the final output assigned.

4. Program the FlexLogic equation for virtual output 3 by translating the logic into available FlexLogic parameters. The
equation is formed one parameter at a time until the required logic is complete. It is generally easier to start at the
output end of the equation and work back towards the input, as shown in the following steps. It is also recommended
to list operator inputs from bottom to top. For demonstration, the final outputs are arbitrarily identified as parameter
99, and each preceding parameter decremented by one in turn. Until accustomed to using FlexLogic, it is suggested
that a worksheet with a series of cells marked with the arbitrary parameter numbers be prepared shown as follows.

– 95: The last step in the procedure is to specify the upper input to the AND gate, the operated state of digital
element 2. This operand is "DIG ELEM 2 OP".
Writing the parameters in numerical order forms the equation for virtual output 3:
[95] DIG ELEM 2 OP
[96] Cont Ip H1c On
[97] NOT
[98] AND(2)
[99] = Virt Op 3
It is now possible to check that this selection of parameters produces the required logic by converting the set of
parameters into a logic diagram. The result of this process is shown in the figure, which is compared to the logic for
virtual output 3 diagram as a check.

6. Repeating the process described for virtual output 3, select the FlexLogic parameters for Virtual Output 4.
– 99: The final output of the equation is virtual output 4, which is parameter “= Virt Op 4".
– 98: The operator preceding the output is timer 2, which is operand “TIMER 2". Note that the settings required for
the timer are established in the timer programming section.

– 97: The operator preceding timer 2 is OR #2, a 3-input OR, which is parameter “OR(3)”.
– 96: The lowest input to OR #2 is operand “Cont Ip H1c On”.
– 95: The center input to OR #2 is operand “TIMER 1".
– 94: The input to timer 1 is operand “Virt Op 3 On".
– 93: The upper input to OR #2 is operand “LATCH (S,R)”.
– 92: There are two inputs to a latch, and the input immediately preceding the latch reset is OR #1, a 4-input OR,
which is parameter “OR(4)”.
– 91: The lowest input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 3 On".
– 90: The input just above the lowest input to OR #1 is operand “XOR(2)”.
– 89: The lower input to the XOR is operand “DIG ELEM 1 PKP”.
– 88: The upper input to the XOR is operand “Virt Ip 1 On".
– 87: The input just below the upper input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 2 On".
– 86: The upper input to OR #1 is operand “Virt Op 1 On".
– 85: The last parameter is used to set the latch, and is operand “Virt Op 4 On".
The equation for virtual output 4 is:
[85] Virt Op 4 On
[86] Virt Op 1 On
[87] Virt Op 2 On
[88] Virt Ip 1 On
[89] DIG ELEM 1 PKP
[90] XOR(2)
[91] Virt Op 3 On
[92] OR(4)
[93] LATCH (S,R)
[94] Virt Op 3 On
[95] TIMER 1
[96] Cont Ip H1c On
[97] OR(3)
[98] TIMER 2
[99] = Virt Op 4
Now check that the selection of parameters produce the required logic by converting the set of parameters into a
logic diagram. The result is shown in the figure, which is compared to the logic for virtual output 4 diagram as a check.

7. Now write the complete FlexLogic expression required to implement the logic, making an effort to assemble the
equation in an order where Virtual Outputs that are used as inputs to operators are created before needed. In cases
where a lot of processing is required to perform logic, this can be difficult to achieve, but in most cases does not cause
problems as all logic is calculated at least four times per power frequency cycle. The possibility of a problem caused by
sequential processing emphasizes the necessity to test the performance of FlexLogic before it is placed in service.
In the following equation, virtual output 3 is used as an input to both latch 1 and timer 1 as arranged in the following
order:
DIG ELEM 2 OP
Cont Ip H1c On
NOT
AND(2)
= Virt Op 3
Virt Op 4 On
Virt Op 1 On
Virt Op 2 On
Virt Ip 1 On
DIG ELEM 1 PKP
XOR(2)
Virt Op 3 On
OR(4)
LATCH (S,R)
Virt Op 3 On
TIMER 1
Cont Ip H1c On
OR(3)
TIMER 2
= Virt Op 4
END
In this expression, the virtual output 4 input to the four-input OR is listed before it is created. This is typical of a form of
feedback, in this case, used to create a seal-in effect with the latch, and is correct.
8. Always test the logic after it is loaded into the relay, in the same way as has been used in the past. Testing can be
simplified by placing an "END" operator within the overall set of FlexLogic equations. The equations are evaluated up
to the first "END" operator.
The "On" and "Off" operands can be placed in an equation to establish a known set of conditions for test purposes, and
the "INSERT" and "DELETE" commands can be used to modify equations.
There are 1,024 FlexLogic entries available, numbered from 1 to 1024, with default END entry settings. If a “Disabled”
element is selected as a FlexLogic entry, the associated state flag is never set to ‘1’. Press the +/– key when editing
FlexLogic equations to quickly scan through the major parameter types.
There are two ways to create, edit and maintain the FlexLogic equations:
1. Using the FlexLogic Equation Editor available at FlexLogic > FlexLogic Equation Editor
5
2. Using the Logic Designer available at Engineer > Logic Designer
EnerVista Engineer is only available through the offline window of the EnerVista UR Setup.
FlexLogic Equation Editor and Logic Designer are designed to be mutually exclusive as using them interchangeably
to create, edit and maintain the FlexLogic equations may cause inconsistencies in the resulting equations. The user
is recommended to use only one of the two methods throughout the process.
Please refer to the FlexLogic design using Engineer section in the Interfaces chapter for more information.
There are 64 identical FlexLogic timers available. These timers are used as operators for FlexLogic equations.
TIMER 1 TYPE — Selects the time measurement unit.
TIMER 1 PICKUP DELAY — Sets the time delay to pickup. If a pickup delay is not required, set this function to "0."
TIMER 1 DROPOUT DELAY — Sets the time delay to dropout. If a dropout delay is not required, set this function to "0."

FLEXELEMENT 1 FLEXELEMENT 1 Range: Disabled, Enabled
FUNCTION: Disabled
A FlexElement is a universal comparator used to monitor any analog actual value calculated by the relay or a net
difference of any two analog actual values of the same type. The effective operating signal can be treated as a signed
number or its absolute value can be used.
FlexElements run every half power cycle (every four protection passes).
The element can be programmed to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined period
of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a threshold, as
per your choice.

FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN — This setting specifies the first (non-inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to “Off.” For proper operation of the element, at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
does not assert its output operands.
Filter the InputPlus or InputMinus field in the software by double-clicking it, then entering a value.

FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN — Specifies the second (inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if this setting is
set to “Off.” For proper operation of the element, at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element does not
assert its output operands. This input is used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the element
respond to a differential signal, such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm. The element does not operate
if the two input signals are of different types, for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build the
effective operating signal.
The element responds directly to the differential signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE setting is set to “Signed” The
element responds to the absolute value of the differential signal if this setting is set to “Absolute.” Sample applications for
the “Absolute” setting include monitoring the angular difference between two phasors with a symmetrical limit angle in
both directions, monitoring power regardless of its direction, or monitoring a trend.
The element responds directly to its operating signal—as defined by the FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN, FLEXELEMENT 1 –IN and
FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE settings—if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to “Level.” The element responds to the
rate of change of its operating signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to “Delta.” In this case, the
FLEXELEMENT 1 dt UNIT and FLEXELEMENT 1 dt settings specify how the rate of change is derived.
FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION — Enables the relay to respond to either high or low values of the operating signal. The following
figure explains the application of the FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION, FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP, and FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS
settings.

FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP — This setting specifies the operating threshold for the effective operating signal of the element. If
set to “Over,” the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value. If set to “Under,” the
element picks up when the operating signal falls below the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value.
When using FlexElements for Voltage Elements, 1 pu is always equal to phase to ground voltage nominal secondary
voltage, even if you select a phase to phase voltage as an operating quantity.
FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS — This setting controls the element dropout. Notice that both the operating signal and the
pickup threshold can be negative, facilitating applications such as reverse power alarm protection. The FlexElement can be
programmed to work with all analog actual values measured by the relay. The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting is entered in
per-unit values using the following definitions of the base units.

The calculation of differential (Id) and restraint (Ir) currents for the purposes of the percent differential element is described
by the following block diagram, where “Σ” has as its output the vector sum of inputs, and “max” has as its output the input
of maximum magnitude; these calculations are performed for each phase.
The differential current is calculated as a vector sum of currents from all windings after magnitude and angle
compensation.
The restraint current is calculated as a maximum of the same internally compensated currents.
The element operates if Id > PKP and Id / Ir > K, where PKP represents a percent differential pickup setting and K is a
restraint factor defined by the relays settings Slope 1, Slope 2, and a transition area between breakpoint 1 and breakpoint
2 settings.

The percent differential element is based on a configurable dual-breakpoint / dual-slope differential restraint
characteristic. The purpose of this characteristic is to define the differential/restraint ratio for the transformer winding
currents at different loading and fault conditions to securely distinguish between external and internal faults. Increased
differential current can occur under load or external fault conditions due to current unbalance between transformer
windings and can be caused by the following:
• Inherent CT inaccuracies
• Onload tap changer operation: it adjusts the transformer ratio and consequently the winding currents
• CT saturation
To provide higher security during CT saturation conditions and to ease CT requirements, the T35 incorporates a dedicated
CT saturation detection mechanism. The T35 CT saturation detector can detect saturation happening after approximately
3 ms from fault inception. In case CT saturation is detected, the percent differential is blocked instantly and relies further
on the directional element in case fault evolved from external to internal to operate without any delays. Directional
element supervision is not applied if no CT saturation is detected.
The saturation detector is an integral part of the transformer percent differential element. It has no settings but uses some
of the differential characteristic parameters. The flags indicating CT saturation are available on a per-phase basis as
FlexLogic operands.
The directional principle is also an integral part of the transformer percent differential element and has no associated
settings. The directional element dynamically identifies what appears to be the faulted circuit and compares its current
angle with that of the sum of the remaining currents of the protected zone. The element declares a transformer internal
fault if the angle is less than 90°. Directional indicating flags signal operation on a per-phase basis and are available as
FlexLogic operands.
For more information on CT saturation detection and directional principle, see the Theory of Operation chapter.

PERCENT DIFFERENTIAL SLOPE 2 — Defines the percentage bias for the restraining currents above the higher breakpoint
(BREAK 2). This setting affects stability of the relay for heavy external faults. Traditionally, the value chosen for this setting
needs to be high enough to accommodate the spurious differential current resulting from saturation of the CTs during
heavy external faults. This requirement can be considerably relaxed in favor of sensitivity and speed of operation as the
relay detects CT saturation and upon detection applies the directional principle to prevent maloperation. When adjusting
this setting, keep in mind that the restraining signal is created as the maximum of all the input currents.
INRUSH INHIBIT FUNCTION — This setting provides a choice for 2nd harmonic differential protection blocking during
magnetizing inrush conditions. Two choices are available: “Adapt. 2nd” – adaptive 2nd harmonic, and “Trad. 2nd” –
traditional 2nd harmonic blocking. The adaptive 2nd harmonic restraint responds to magnitudes and phase angles of the
2nd harmonic and the fundamental frequency component. The traditional 2nd harmonic restraint responds to the ratio of
magnitudes of the 2nd harmonic and fundamental frequency components. If low second harmonic ratios during
magnetizing inrush conditions are not expected, set the relay to a traditional way of restraining.
INRUSH INHIBIT MODE — This setting specifies mode of blocking on magnetizing inrush conditions. Modern transformers can
produce small 2nd harmonic ratios during inrush conditions. This can result in undesired tripping of the protected
transformer. Reducing the 2nd harmonic inhibit threshold can jeopardize dependability and speed of protection. The 2nd
harmonic ratio, if low, causes problems in one phase only. This can be utilized as a means to ensure security by applying
cross-phase blocking rather than lowering the inrush inhibit threshold.
If set to “Per phase,” the relay performs inrush inhibit individually in each phase. If used on modern transformers, combine
this setting with adaptive 2nd harmonic function.
If set to “2-out-of-3,” the relay checks 2nd harmonic level in all three phases individually. If any two phases establish a
blocking condition, the remaining phase is restrained automatically. Note that in this mode, the "2-out-of-3" logic is used
only if all three phases of differential currents exceed the hardcoded cutoff level of 0.04 pu, otherwise, "1-out-of-3" logic is
used.
If set to “Average,” the relay first calculates the average 2nd harmonic ratio, then applies the inrush threshold to the
5 calculated average. This mode works only in conjunction with the traditional 2nd harmonic function.
If set to "1-out-of-3," the relay checks 2nd harmonic level in all three phases individually. If any phase establishes a
blocking condition, differential protection in all three phases are blocked. This mode is also known as "cross-blocking"
method.
INRUSH INHIBIT LEVEL — Specifies the level of 2nd harmonic component in the transformer magnetizing inrush current
above which the percent differential element is inhibited from operating. The value of the INRUSH INHIBIT MODE setting
must be taken into account when programming this value. The INRUSH INHIBIT LEVEL is set typically to 20%.
OVEREXCITATION INHIBIT MODE — An overexcitation condition resulting from an increased volts/hertz ratio poses a danger
to the protected transformer, hence the volts/hertz protection. A given transformer can, however, tolerate an overfluxing
condition for a limited time, as the danger is associated with thermal processes in the core. Instantaneous tripping of the
transformer from the differential protection is not desirable. The relay uses a traditional 5th harmonic ratio for inhibiting its
differential function during overexcitation conditions.
OVEREXCITATION INHIBIT LEVEL — This setting is provided to block the differential protection during overexcitation. When the
5th harmonic level exceeds the specified setting (5th harmonic ratio) the differential element is blocked. The overexcitation
inhibit works on a per-phase basis.
The relay produces three FlexLogic operands that can be used for testing or for special applications, such as building
custom logic (1-out-of-3) or supervising some protection functions (ground time overcurrent, for example) from the 2nd
harmonic inhibit.

SUPV SRC: SRC 1
This element is a complement to the percent differential function. It detects interturn fault conditions using voltage
compensated differential currents. The voltage-based compensation term cancels out steady state differential current of
each phase. The resulting compensated differential current is sensitive enough to pick up turn-to-turn faults.
The three phase differential currents (Iad, Ibd, Icd) are calculated same way as for percent differential element but without
applying any cutoff level. Fundamental frequency phasor magnitudes of the selected supervising source voltages and
currents are used for detecting disturbances and blocking the function.
See the Theory of Operation chapter for more information.
INTERTURN FLT DET1 FUNCTION — Enables or disables the element.
INTERTURN FLT DET 1 PROT XFMR — This setting determines the transformer to be monitored by the element. Differential
currents, supervising source, and blocking operands, all then become available from the associated transformer sources
and Percent Differential function.
The transformer Percent Differential function must be enabled for this transformer, otherwise Interturn Fault Detection is
not functional.
INTERTURN FLT DET 1 SUPV SRC — The three phase voltages are used for the K-factors (compensating coefficients)
calculation and voltage compensated differential currents calculation. Also, this source provides the three phase current
and voltages for steady state condition supervision. Set the selected source to have three phase voltages and three phase
currents assigned in System Setup menu.
INTERTURN FLT DET 1 AUTOSET MODE — This setting provides a choice between automatic (recurring) updates of K-factors or
manual updates (from keypad command).
Selecting NONE means this function do not operate until new K-factors are calculated and applied in either Manual or Auto
mode.
For Manual mode, updating K-factors can be requested using a command, which is required when for example switching
from NONE to Manual mode, or whenever updating K-factors is preferred. This command is further explained in the
Transformer Auto-Setting section of the Commands chapter.
For Auto mode, K-factors updating period is explained later in the INTERTURN FLT DET 1 KFAC UPD PER setting description.
When a K-factor update is requested, dependent on the auto-setting procedure RUN signal status, a "XFMR INTTURN 1 K-
FACTOR APPLIED" or " XFMR INTTURN 1 K-FACTOR RECALC FAIL" message is displayed for the duration of the Display Flash
Message Time. The auto-setting procedure RUN signal only allows update of the K-factors when supervisory conditions are
satisfied. The last applied K-factor values can be seen in the ACTUAL VALUES METERING TRANSFORMER INTERTURN
FAULT DETECTION INTERTURN FAULT DETECTION1(2) menu.
INTERTURN FLT DET 1 K-FACT UPDT — This setting defines the recurring timer length for automatic recalculation of K-factors.
It allows for dynamic compensation of steady state differential current for algorithm security. Update periods are in
minutes range to allow enough time for the differential current to reach above pick up when a turn-to-turn fault occurs.
In Auto mode, depending on the recurring update being successful or blocked, the corresponding messages, "XFMR
INTTURN 1 K-FACTOR APPLIED" or "XFMR INTTURN 1 K-FACTOR RECALC FAIL," are displayed as frequently as this setting
value.
FORCE INTURN 1 K UP — This setting gives the option to force recalculation of K-factors based on the assigned input status.
One application is compensating steady state differential current value due to tap changer operation. It is essential to use
this setting if onload tap changer operation is employed on the monitored transformer. It is expected that this signal goes
to high state after tap change takes place and then the signal goes back to zero (use a pulse type signal with length of
greater than two cycles).
It is possible that the element can miss detection of the legitimate interturn fault if FORCE INTURN 1 K UP pulse is applied
during pickup condition of this element. To prevent this, block the tap changing operation, using the XFMR INTTURN 1
PKP operand.
INTERTURN FLT DET 1 PKP CUR — Even though the algorithm applies compensation of steady state differential current, the 5
operating quantity is still non-zero at no fault conditions. This relates to site specific noises or any measurement errors
after the last K-factor calculation moment. Choosing the pickup level is a compromise between the lowest percentage
turn-to-turn fault detection (sensitivity) and algorithm security for not picking up for steady state non-zero values.
Therefore, for maximum turn-to-turn fault coverage, it is suggested to use Data Logger (under the Product Setup menu)
and record the available per phase FlexAnalog values (for example for phase A: Intturn1 Cmp Iad Mag) to find the minimum
value to avoid nuisance pickup or warning.
Note that compensated differential current and its associated pickup level are in per-unit (see Reference Winding
explanation under General Transformer Settings).
INTERTURN FLT DET 1 PKP DELAY — This setting selects the operating time of the Interturn Fault Detection element. Because
the function is very sensitive, allowing sufficient delay ensures algorithm security.
INTERTURN FLT 1 BLK — This operand can be used for customized blocking of the element’s disturbance detector, K-factor
recalculation, and pickup level comparators.
If element is in pickup condition, blocking by this FlexLogic operand can cause missed detection of the legitimate
interturn fault and should be prevented.
The instantaneous differential element acts as an instantaneous overcurrent element responding to the measured
differential current magnitude (filtered fundamental frequency component) and applying a user-selectable pickup
threshold. Set the pickup threshold greater than the maximum spurious differential current that can be encountered under
non-internal fault conditions (typically magnetizing inrush current or an external fault with extremely severe CT saturation).

A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (CURVE) setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly proportional
to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are 10 times the multiplier 1
or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
Time overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal energy capacity memory variable. When this variable
indicates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a time overcurrent element operates. If less than 100% energy
capacity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the pickup value,
the variable must be reduced. Two methods of this resetting operation are available: “Instantaneous” and “Timed.” The
“Instantaneous” selection is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy
capacity directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The “Timed” selection can be used where the
relay must coordinate with electromechanical relays.
The URs calculate operate time corresponding to the values in the range of 1.03 to 20 multiples of the pickup current.
Above 20 multiples of the pickup current, URs clamp the operate time to the value at a multiple of 20, resulting in the flat
part of the characteristics. Reset time is calculated in the range of 0 to 0.97 multiples of the pickup current.
IEEE curves
The IEEE time overcurrent curve shapes conform to industry standards and the IEEE C37.112-1996 curve classifications for

The phase time overcurrent element can provide a specified time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current
or be used as a simple definite time element. The phase current input quantities can be programmed as fundamental
phasor magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: “Timed” and “Instantaneous” (see the Inverse TOC Curve Characteristics
section earlier for details on curve setup, trip times, and reset operation). When the element is blocked, the time
accumulator resets according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to
“Instantaneous” and the element is blocked, the time accumulator clears immediately.
The PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting can be reduced dynamically by a voltage restraint feature (when enabled). This is
accomplished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages of the voltage restraint characteristic
curve (see the figure); the pickup level is calculated as Mvr times the PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting. If the voltage restraint
feature is disabled, the pickup level always remains at the setting value.

For a solid single phase to ground fault in an ungrounded three-phase system, the voltage of the faulted phase becomes
equal to the earth potential (zero) while that of healthy phases become 3 times the nominal value. The fault current in
ungrounded systems is equal to the sum of the charging currents drawn by the healthy phases, which is three times the
normal charging current. The higher charging current can lead to arcing at the fault point and this arcing might not be
self-extinguishing due to significant amount of fault (charging) current. Therefore, Petersen's coil, which is an inductive coil,
is placed in the neutral of the three-phase system to compensate for the capacitive charging currents, which in turn
reduces or eliminates the fault current.
Depending on the level of compensation of the Petersen's coil, three conditions can arise:
5 •
•
Over compensation (inductive fault current)
Under (capacitive fault current) compensation
• Resonant compensation (no fault current)
The figure shows an ungrounded system. The zero-sequence current in the healthy feeder the current is capacitive in
nature, while the zero-sequence current in faulted phase is inductive in nature. This observation can be utilized to identify
and isolate the faulty feeder in ungrounded systems.

However, in the case of Petersen's coil grounded system, zero-sequence current of a faulty feeder can become capacitive,
inductive, resistive, or altogether disappear, depending upon the level of compensation, the charging current of the
system, or the fault impedance. For example, the next figure shows the single-phase to ground fault in Petersen's coil
grounded network with 100% compensation (resonant compensation). It can be observed that all of the charging current
is supplied via neutral of the compensated system, thus making the current at the fault point equal to 0. Consequently, the
zero-sequence current of the faulty feeder like a healthy feeder also becomes capacitive in nature. Thus, the standard
directional protection cannot be applied to systems grounded through Petersen coil.

To overcome this challenge, a patented algorithm is used, which does not require special hardware or high acquisition
frequency, to precisely determine the fault direction. The algorithm utilizes the concept of transient reactive power to
identify the direction of the fault. The algorithm also applies to high-resistive grounded and ungrounded systems. The
technique involves the application of band pass filters to measured residual voltage (VN) and current signals (IN). The center
frequency of the band pass filters is 220 Hz and 264 Hz for nominal frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz respectively. Band pass
filters remove the fundamental frequency component and introduce a 90° shift in anti-clockwise direction in the voltage
signal. The outputs of voltage and current band pass filters are denoted by V'N and I'N respectively. The transient reactive
power is obtained by multiplying V'N and I'N.
If the feeder has a fault, the circuit is inductive in the frequency range of the interest. Consequently, the transient reactive
power is negative as V'N. and I'N are in phase opposition (figure a). On the other hand, if the feeder is healthy the circuit is
capacitive in nature, thereby making the transient reactive power positive (figure b). Note that the phasors shown in the
figure represent the voltage and current relationship surrounding the frequencies 220 Hz and 264 Hz for 50 and 60 Hz
systems respectively.

Similarly, the decision about the direction of the fault can also be made using transient active power. In case the minimum
threshold of transient reactive power is not met, the direction of the fault can be identified using transient active power.

TRANSIENT GND FLT 1 SOURCE — This setting selects the signal source for Transient Ground Fault Detection function.
TRANSIENT GND FLT 1 VOLT — The element uses neutral voltage (that is, three times the zero-sequence voltage). This setting
allows selecting between the internally calculated neutral voltage or the externally supplied voltage (broken delta VT
connected to the auxiliary channel bank of the relay). When the latter selection is made, the auxiliary channel must be
identified by the user as a neutral voltage under the VT bank settings. This element operates when the auxiliary voltage is
configured as neutral.
TRANSIENT GND FLT 1 AMP — The element responds to the neutral current (that is, three times zero-sequence current), either
calculated internally from the phase currents or supplied externally via the ground CT input from more accurate sources
such as the core balanced CT. This setting allows selecting the source of the operating current.
TRANSIENT GND FLT 1 PWR THLD — This setting is used to calculate dynamic power threshold which in turn is used to
determine residual fault direction. Increasing the value of this setting increases the security and decreases the sensitivity
of the element. The minimum value that can be applied to this setting to avoid overlap with "small P/Q" area is 3 W. As
shown in the next figure, "small P/Q" area refers to the condition when the calculated transient reactive or active power is
small enough to introduce ambiguity in sensing the direction of the fault. This setting is given in secondary value.

This element can provide a required time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or be used as a simple

Restricted ground fault (RGF) protection provides sensitive ground fault detection for low-magnitude fault currents,
primarily faults close to the neutral point of a wye-connected winding. An internal ground fault on an impedance grounded
wye winding produces a fault current dependent on the ground impedance value and the fault position on the winding
with respect to the neutral point. The resultant primary current is negligible for faults on the lower 30% of the winding since
the fault voltage is not the system voltage, but rather the result of the transformation ratio between the primary windings
and the percentage of shorted turns on the secondary. Therefore, the resultant differential currents can be below the slope
threshold of the main differential element and the fault can go undetected. Application of the restricted ground fault
protection extends the coverage towards the neutral point (see the following figure).

This protection is often applied to transformers having impedance-grounded wye windings. The element can also be
applied to the stator winding of a generator having the neutral point grounded with a CT installed in the grounding path, or
the ground current obtained by external summation of the neutral-side stator CTs. The following figure shows the basic

The next figures show distribution of the ground fault current through the grounded neutral point of the wye winding and
primary delta winding as a function of the fault location as a percentage of the whole wye winding. Magnitude of the
transformer winding fault is controlled by several factors, such as supply source impedance, wye winding neutral
grounding impedance, transformer leakage reactance, fault voltage windings connection and position of the fault on the
winding with respect to the neutral point.

The relay incorporates low-impedance restricted ground fault protection. This low-impedance form of protection faces
potential stability problems. An external phase-to-phase fault is an ultimate case. Ideally, there is neither ground (IG) nor
neutral (IN = IA + IB + IC) current present. If one or more of the phase CTs saturate, a spurious neutral current is seen by the 5
relay. This is similar to a single infeed situation and can be mistaken for an internal fault. Similar difficulties occur in a
breaker-and-a-half application of the restricted ground fault, where any through fault with a weak infeed from the
winding itself can cause problems.
The UR uses a novel definition of the restraining signal to cope with the above stability problems while providing fast and
sensitive protection. Even with the improved definition of the restraining signal, the breaker-and-a-half application of the
restricted ground fault must be approached with care, and is not recommended unless the settings are carefully selected
to avoid maloperation due to CT saturation.
The differential current is produced as an unbalance current between the ground current of the neutral CT (IG) and the
neutral current derived from the phase CTs (IN = IA + IB + IC):
Igd = |IG + IN| = |IG + IA + IB + IC| Eq. 5-41
The restraining signal ensures stability of protection during CT saturation conditions and is produced as a maximum value
among three components related to zero, negative, and positive-sequence currents of the three phase CTs as follows:
Irest = max(IR0, IR1, IR2) Eq. 5-42
The zero-sequence component of the restraining signal (IR0) is meant to provide maximum restraint during external
ground faults, and therefore is calculated as a vectorial difference of the ground and neutral currents:
IR0 = |IG - IN| = |IG - (IA + IB + IC)| Eq. 5-43
The equation above brings an advantage of generating the restraining signal of twice the external ground fault current,
while reducing the restraint below the internal ground fault current. The negative-sequence component of the restraining
signal (IR2) is meant to provide maximum restraint during external phase-to-phase faults and is calculated as follows:
IR2 = |I_2| or IR2 = 3 x |I_2| Eq. 5-44
Following complete de-energization of the windings (all three phase currents below 5% of nominal for at least five cycles),
the relay uses a multiplier of 1 in preparation for the next energization. The multiplier of 3 is used during normal operation;
that is, two cycles after the winding has been energized. The lower multiplier is used to ensure better sensitivity when
energizing a faulty winding.
The positive-sequence component of the restraining signal (IR1) is adaptive and provides restraint during symmetrical
conditions, either symmetrical faults or load.
Additionally, the algorithm detects a long-lasting DC during energization, which can saturate line CTs and increase IR1.
Long lasting DC in phase A (same in other two phases) is estimated with the following condition:
DC_A = |I_ARMS - 9 x I_AMAG / 8| > 0 Eq. 5-45
When this condition is satisfied in any phase for three cycles, DCACTIVE is set and is reset in 60 cycles once the condition
disappears. Overall IR1 is calculated according to the following algorithm:
IF |I_1| > 2 pu AND |I_1| > |I_0|, THEN IR1 = 3 × (I_1MAG - I_0MAG)
IF DCACTIVE THEN IR1 = I_1MAG / 2
OTHERWISE IR1 = I_1MAG / 8
During an external fault involving ground when positive-sequence current exceeds 200% of the phase CT nominal and
positive-sequence current exceeds zero-sequence current, IR1 restraint is set to the maximum value. During energization
with the long-lasting DC, IR1 is set to half of the positive-sequence current to ensure extra restraint. If none of two
conditions are present, then IR1 is set to the minimum value of the 1/8 of the positive-sequence current to ensure
sensitivity during load conditions.
The raw restraining signal (Irest) is further post-filtered for better performance during external faults with heavy CT
saturation and for better switch-off transient control:
Igr(k) = max(Irest(k), α x Igr(k - 1)) Eq. 5-46
where
k represents a present sample
k – 1 represents the previous sample
α is a factory constant (α < 1)
The equation above introduces a decaying memory to the restraining signal. Should the raw restraining signal (Irest)
5 disappear or drop significantly, such as when an external fault gets cleared or a CT saturates heavily, the actual restraining
signal (Igr(k)) does not reduce instantly but keeps decaying decreasing its value by 50% each 15.5 power system cycles.
For additional security, the element applies a ground current of the transformer neutral CT (IG) supervision by allowing
element pickup and operation when the IG magnitude is above 0.8 x Pickup setting.
Having the differential and restraining signals developed, the element applies a single slope differential characteristic with
a minimum pickup as shown in the following logic diagram.

The following examples explain how the restraining signal is created for maximum sensitivity and security. These examples
clarify the operating principle and provide guidance for testing of the element. 5

The trip bus element allows aggregating outputs of protection and control elements without using FlexLogic and assigning
them a simple and effective manner. Each trip bus can be assigned for either trip or alarm actions. Simple trip conditioning
such as latch, delay, and seal-in delay are available.
The easiest way to assign element outputs to a trip bus is through the EnerVista software under Settings > Protection
Summary. Navigate to a specific protection or control protection element and check the bus box by hovering over the
blank check box and selecting an option that displays. Once the required element is selected for a specific bus, a list of
element operate-type operands are displayed and can be assigned to a trip bus. If more than one operate-type operand is
required, it can be assigned directly from the trip bus menu.

The setting groups menu controls the activation and deactivation of up to six groups of settings in the GROUPED ELEMENTS
settings menu. The active setting group can be indicated on the front display of the T35 by configuring User-
Programmable LEDs to display the state of the SETTING GROUP ACT FlexLogic operands.
On a setting group change, protection elements are blocked temporarily to allow the relay to re-initialize with the new
settings. The duration of the block depends on relay configuration and can last up to four cycles. The actual block duration
on the group switching can be verified by the PROTSUPV operand.
SETTING GROUPS FUNCTION — When Enabled, allows setting groups other than group 1 (the default active group) to be
activated. When Disabled, the default setting group is forced active. When changed from Disabled to Enabled, it resets the
active setting group to 1 independent of the Control Mode setting.
Control Mode — This setting displays when IEC 61850 is used by the T35. It selects the active setting group selection control
mode. When set to "Local," active setting group selection is based on the FlexLogic operand states selected by GROUP
ACTIVATE ON settings and the SelectActiveSG request from an IEC 61850 client generates a negative response. When set to
"IEC61850 Client," the SelectActiveSG request from an IEC 61850 client selects the active setting group and the FlexLogic
operand states of the GROUP ACTIVATE ON settings are ignored/not used.
The logic diagram shows the active setting group selection behavior based on the Control Mode setting.
When the Control Mode is "Local," the priority scheme makes active the highest numbered group selected by the GROUP
ACTIVATE ON settings. The most recent active group selection is preserved while the T35 is powered down or reset.
When the Control Mode is "IEC61850 Client," the SelectActiveSG selection has an initial value that can be set on a CID file
download by the IEC 61850 setting Initial Setting Group. See the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850
protocol > Setting Groups section earlier for details. The most recent SelectActiveSG selection is preserved while the T35 is
powered down or reset. If it becomes necessary to cancel the SelectActiveSG selection without using a SelectActiveSG
service request, change the SETTING GROUPS FUNCTION setting to Disabled. This resets the SelectActiveSG selection to 1.
When the Control Mode is changed, the current active setting group selection is preserved.

Active setting group selection can be made either by IEC 61850 MMS SelectActiveSG service or Local by the
FlexLogic operand states selected by GROUP # ACTIVATE ON settings. Simultaneous setting group control is not
permissible.
SETTING GROUPS BLK — Prevents the active setting group from changing when the selected FlexLogic operand is "On." This
can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as during a
control sequence.
GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON to GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON — Selects a FlexLogic operand which, when set, makes the particular setting
group active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a given time — the
highest-numbered group that is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-numbered groups.
There is no activate on setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically becomes active if no
other group is active.
The settings are read-only with default values when the Control Mode setting is set to "IEC61850 Client."
A setting group selection can also be made by the IEC 61850 MMS service SelectActiveSG to the control block @Master/
LLN0.SGCB. An active group selection can be done either by SelectActiveSG service from a IEC 61850 client or by GROUP
ACTIVATE ON settings, but mixed operation is not allowed.
An initial setting group value is initialized to the GROUP ACTIVATE ON setting value on T35 reboot immediately following the
receipt of a valid CID file.
SETTING GROUP 1 NAME to SETTING GROUP 6 NAME — Allows the user to assign a name to each of the six settings groups.
Once programmed, this name appears on the second line of the GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6) menu display.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default
settings group. The following FlexLogic equation (see the following figure) illustrates requests via remote communications
(for example, VIRTUAL INPUT 1 ON) or from a local contact input (for example, CONTACT IP 1 ON) to initiate the use of
a particular settings group, and requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the
particular settings group. The assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the “On” state of a particular
settings group.

The selector switch element is intended to replace a mechanical selector switch. Typical applications include setting group
control or control of multiple logic sub-circuits in user-programmable logic.
The element provides for two control inputs. The step-up control allows stepping through selector position one step at a
time with each pulse of the control input, such as a user-programmable pushbutton. The three-bit control input allows
setting the selector to the position defined by a three-bit word.
The element allows pre-selecting a new position without applying it. The pre-selected position gets applied either after
time-out or upon acknowledgement via separate inputs (user setting). The selector position is stored in non-volatile
memory. Upon power-up, either the previous position is restored or the relay synchronizes to the current three-bit word
(user setting). Basic alarm functionality alerts the user under abnormal conditions; for example, the three-bit control input
being out of range.
5
A selector switch runs every two power cycles.
SELECTOR 1 FULL RANGE — This setting defines the upper position of the selector. When stepping up through available
positions of the selector, the upper position wraps up to the lower position (position 1). When using a direct three-bit control
word for programming the selector to a desired position, the change would take place only if the control word is within the
range of 1 to the SELECTOR FULL RANGE. If the control word is outside the range, an alarm is established by setting the
SELECTOR ALARM FlexLogic operand for three seconds.
SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT — This setting defines the time-out period for the selector. This value is used by the relay in the
following two ways. When the SELECTOR STEP-UP MODE is “Time-out,” the setting specifies the required period of inactivity
of the control input after which the pre-selected position is automatically applied. When the SELECTOR STEP-UP MODE is
“Acknowledge,” the setting specifies the period of time for the acknowledging input to appear. The timer is re-started by
any activity of the control input. The acknowledging input must come before the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT timer expires;
otherwise, the change does not take place and an alarm is set.
SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP — This setting specifies a control input for the selector switch. The switch is shifted to a new position at
each rising edge of this signal. The position changes incrementally, wrapping up from the last (SELECTOR 1 FULL RANGE) to
the first (position 1). Consecutive pulses of this control operand must not occur faster than every 50 ms. After each rising
edge of the assigned operand, the time-out timer is restarted and the SELECTOR SWITCH 1: POS Z CHNG INITIATED target
message is displayed, where Z the pre-selected position. The message is displayed for the time specified by the FLASH
MESSAGE TIME setting. The pre-selected position is applied after the selector times out (“Time-out” mode), or when the
acknowledging signal appears before the element times out (“Acknowledge” mode). When the new position is applied, the
relay displays the SELECTOR SWITCH 1: POSITION Z IN USE message. Typically, a user-programmable pushbutton is
configured as the stepping up control input.
SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP MODE — This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to “Time-out,” the selector
changes its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and does not
require any explicit confirmation of the intent to change the selector's position. When set to “Acknowledge,” the selector
changes its position only after the intent is confirmed through a separate acknowledging signal. If the acknowledging
signal does not appear within a pre-defined period of time, the selector does not accept the change and an alarm is
established by setting the SELECTOR STP ALARM output FlexLogic operand for three seconds.
SELECTOR 1 ACK — This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the stepping up control input. The pre-selected position
is applied on the rising edge of the assigned operand. This setting is active only under “Acknowledge” mode of operation.
The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT setting after the last activity of
the control input. A user-programmable pushbutton is typically configured as the acknowledging input.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0, A1, and A2 — These settings specify a three-bit control input of the selector. The three-bit control word
pre-selects the position using the following encoding convention:
A2 A1 A0 Position
0 0 0 rest
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 2
0 1 1 3
1 0 0 4
1 0 1 5
1 1 0 6
1 1 1 7
The “rest” position (0, 0, 0) does not generate an action and is intended for situations when the device generating the three-
bit control word is having a problem. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is “Time-out,” the pre-selected position is applied in
SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT seconds after the last activity of the three-bit input. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is “Acknowledge,”
the pre-selected position is applied on the rising edge of the SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK acknowledging input.
The stepping up control input (SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP) and the three-bit control inputs (SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0 through A2) lock-out
mutually: once the stepping up sequence is initiated, the three-bit control input is inactive; once the three-bit control
sequence is initiated, the stepping up input is inactive.
5 SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE — This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to “Time-out,” the selector changes
its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and does not require
explicit confirmation to change the selector position. When set to “Acknowledge,” the selector changes its position only
after confirmation via a separate acknowledging signal. If the acknowledging signal does not appear within a pre-defined
period of time, the selector rejects the change and an alarm established by invoking the SELECTOR BIT ALARM
FlexLogic operand for three seconds.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK — This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the three-bit control input. The pre-selected
position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned FlexLogic operand. This setting is active only under the
“Acknowledge” mode of operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR TIME-
OUT setting after the last activity of the three-bit control inputs. Note that the stepping up control input and three-bit
control input have independent acknowledging signals (SELECTOR 1 ACK and SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK, accordingly).
SELECTOR 1 POWER-UP MODE — This setting specifies the element behavior on power up of the relay.
When set to “Restore,” the last position of the selector (stored in the non-volatile memory) is restored after powering up the
relay. If the position restored from memory is out of range, position 0 (no output operand selected) is applied and an alarm
is set (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
When set to “Synchronize,” the selector switch acts as follows. For two power cycles, the selector applies position 0 to the
switch and activates SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM. After two power cycles expire, the selector synchronizes to the position
dictated by the three-bit control input. This operation does not wait for time-out or the acknowledging input. When the
synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (that is, the three-bit input is not available (0,0,0) or out of range), then the selector
switch output is set to position 0 (no output operand selected) and an alarm is established (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
The operation of “Synch/Restore” mode is similar to the “Synchronize” mode. The only difference is that after an
unsuccessful synchronization attempt, the switch attempts to restore the position stored in the relay memory. The “Synch/
Restore” mode is useful for applications where the selector switch is employed to change the setting group in redundant
(two relay) protection schemes.
The following figures illustrate the operation of the selector switch. In these diagrams, “T” represents a time-out setting.

Application example
Consider an application where the selector switch is used to control setting groups 1 through 4 in the relay. The setting
groups are to be controlled from both user-programmable pushbutton 1 and from an external device via contact inputs 1
through 3. The active setting group is to be available as an encoded three-bit word to the external device and SCADA via
output contacts 1 through 3. The pre-selected setting group is to be applied automatically after five seconds of inactivity of
the control inputs. When the relay powers up, it is to synchronize the setting group to the three-bit control input.
Make the following changes to setting group control in the SETTINGS CONTROL ELEMENTS SETTING GROUPS menu:

The steady-state frequency of a power system is a certain indicator of the existing balance between the generated power
and the load. Whenever this balance is disrupted through the loss of an important generating unit or the isolation of part of
the system from the rest of the system, the effect is a reduction in frequency. If the control systems of the system
generators do not respond fast enough, the system can collapse. A reliable method to quickly restore the balance between
load and generation is to automatically disconnect selected loads, based on the actual system frequency. This technique,
called “load-shedding,” maintains system integrity and minimize widespread outages. After the frequency returns to
normal, the load can be restored automatically or manually.
UNDERFREQ 1 SOURCE — This setting is used to select the source for the signal to be measured. The element first checks for
a live phase voltage available from the selected source. If voltage is not available, the element attempts to use a phase
current. If neither voltage nor current is available, the element does not operate, as it does not measure a parameter below
the minimum voltage/current setting.
UNDERFREQ 1 MIN VOLT/AMP — Selects the minimum per unit voltage or current level required to allow the underfrequency
element to operate. This threshold is used to prevent an incorrect operation because there is no signal to measure.
UNDERFREQ 1 PICKUP — Selects the level at which the underfrequency element is to pickup. For example, if the system
frequency is 60 Hz and the load shedding is required at 59.5 Hz, the setting is 59.50 Hz.

Assume the output contact H1 is a trip contact. Using the contact output settings, this output is given an ID name; for
example, “Cont Op 1." Assume a 52a breaker auxiliary contact is connected to contact input H5a to monitor breaker status.
Using the contact input settings, this input is given an ID name, for example, “Cont Ip 1," and is set “On” when the breaker is
closed. The settings to use digital element 1 to monitor the breaker trip circuit are indicated (EnerVista example shown).

with form-A contacts
The wiring connection for two examples above is applicable to both form-A contacts with voltage monitoring and
solid-state contact with voltage monitoring.
There are eight identical digital counters, numbered from 1 to 8. A digital counter counts the number of state transitions
from Logic 0 to Logic 1. The counter is used to count operations such as the pickups of an element, the changes of state of
an external contact (for example, breaker auxiliary switch), or pulses from a watt-hour meter.
COUNTER 1 UNITS — Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure pertaining to the digital transitions to be counted. The
units label appears in the corresponding actual values status.
COUNTER 1 PRESET — Sets the count to a required preset value before counting operations begin, as in the case where a
5 substitute relay is to be installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the counter is running.
COUNTER 1 COMPARE — Sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic output
operands are provided to indicate if the present value is ‘more than (HI)’, ‘equal to (EQL)’, or ‘less than (LO)’ the set value.
COUNTER 1 UP — Selects the FlexLogic operand for incrementing the counter. If an enabled UP input is received when the
accumulated value is at the limit of +2,147,483,647 counts, the counter rolls over to –2,147,483,648.
COUNTER 1 DOWN — Selects the FlexLogic operand for decrementing the counter. If an enabled DOWN input is received
when the accumulated value is at the limit of –2,147,483,648 counts, the counter rolls over to +2,147,483,647.
COUNTER 1 BLOCK — Selects the FlexLogic operand for blocking the counting operation. All counter operands are blocked.
CNT1 SET TO PRESET — Selects the FlexLogic operand used to set the count to the preset value. The counter sets to the
preset value in the following situations:
• When the counter is enabled and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value 1 (when the counter is enabled and
CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand is 0, the counter sets to 0)
• When the counter is running and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand changes the state from 0 to 1 (CNT1 SET TO PRESET
changing from 1 to 0 while the counter is running has no effect on the count)
• When a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value 1
(when a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the counter and the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand has the value 0, the
counter sets to 0)
COUNTER 1 RESET — Selects the FlexLogic operand for setting the count to either “0” or the preset value depending on the
state of the CNT1 SET TO PRESET operand.
COUNTER 1 FREEZE/RESET — Selects the FlexLogic operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value into a
separate register with the date and time of the operation, and resetting the count to “0.”
COUNTER 1 FREEZE/COUNT — Selects the FlexLogic operand for capturing (freezing) the accumulated count value into a
separate register with the date and time of the operation, and continuing counting. The present accumulated value and
captured frozen value with the associated date/time stamp are available as actual values. If control power is interrupted,
the accumulated and frozen values are saved into non-volatile memory during the power-down operation.

There is one breaker arcing current element available per CT bank, with a minimum of two elements.
This element calculates an estimate of the per-phase wear on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the
current squared passing through the breaker contacts as an arc. These per-phase values are added to accumulated totals
for each phase and compared to a programmed threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay
can set an output operand to “1.” The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed as an actual value.
The operation of the scheme is shown in the following logic diagram. The same output operand that is selected to operate
the output relay used to trip the breaker, indicating a tripping sequence has begun, is used to initiate this feature. A time
delay is introduced between initiation and the starting of integration to prevent integration of current flow through the
breaker before the contacts have parted. This interval includes the operating time of the output relay, any other auxiliary
relays, and the breaker mechanism. For maximum measurement accuracy, measure the interval between change-of-
state of the operand (from 0 to 1) and contact separation for the specific installation. Integration of the measured current
continues for 100 ms, which is expected to include the total arcing period.
The feature is programmed to perform fault duration calculations. Fault duration is defined as a time between operation of
the disturbance detector occurring before initiation of this feature, and reset of an internal low-set overcurrent function.
Correction is implemented to account for a non-zero reset time of the overcurrent function.
Breaker arcing currents and fault duration values are available under the ACTUAL VALUES RECORDS MAINTENANCE
BREAKER 1(6) menus.
BKR 1 ARC AMP INT-A(C) — Select the same output operands that are configured to operate the output relays used to trip the
breaker. In three-pole tripping applications, configure the same operand to initiate arcing current calculations for poles A,
B, and C of the breaker. In single-pole tripping applications, configure per-pole tripping operands to initiate the calculations
for the poles that are actually tripped.
BKR 1 ARC AMP DELAY — This setting is used to program the delay interval between the time the tripping sequence is
initiated and the time the breaker contacts are expected to part, starting the integration of the measured current.
BKR 1 ARC AMP LIMIT — Selects the threshold value above which the output operand is set.

The CT failure function detects problems with system current transformers used to supply current to the relay. This logic
detects the presence of a zero-sequence current at the supervised source of current without a simultaneous zero-
sequence current at another source, zero-sequence voltage, or some protection element condition.
The CT failure logic (see later) is based on the presence of the zero-sequence current in the supervised CT source and the
absence of one of three or all of the three following conditions:
• Zero-sequence current at different source current (can be different set of CTs or different CT core of the same CT)
• Zero-sequence voltage at the assigned source
• Appropriate protection element or remote signal
Settings are described as follows.
CT FAIL 1 FUNCTION — Enables or disables operation of the CT failure element.
CT FAIL 1 BLOCK — Selects a FlexLogic operand to block operation of the element during some condition (for example, an
open pole in process of the single pole tripping-reclosing). Local signals or remote signals representing operation of some
remote current protection elements via communication channels can also be chosen.
CT FAIL 1 3I0 INPUT 1 — Selects the current source for input 1. The most critical protection element should also be assigned
to the same source.
CT FAIL 1 3I0 INPUT 1 PICKUP — Selects the 3I_0 pickup value for input 1 (the main supervised CT source).
CT FAIL 1 3I0 INPUT 2 — Selects the current source for input 2. Input 2 should use a different set of CTs or a different CT core
of the same CT. If 3I_0 does not exist at source 2, then a CT failure is declared.
CT FAIL 1 3I0 INPUT 2 PICKUP — Selects the 3I_0 pickup value for input 2 (different CT input) of the relay.
CT FAIL 1 3V0 INPUT — Selects the voltage source.

The thermal overload protection element corresponds to the IEC 255-8 standard and is used to detect thermal overload
conditions in protected power system elements. Choosing an appropriate time constant element can be used to protect
different elements of the power system.
The cold curve characteristic is applied when the estimated Ip current is less than 10% of the base current. If Ip current is
greater or equal than 10% than the base current, then the hot curve characteristic is applied. The Ip current is estimated
with a fixed time constant for both cooling and heating that reaches to the final value in two seconds on a step change
(either step up or step down) signal.
The IEC255-8 cold curve is defined as follows:

This element monitors external faults passing through the transformer. During each detected through-fault event at each
execution (twice per cycle), the thermal/mechanical damage in per-unit of the withstand limits provided by IEEE C57.109-
2018 and IEEE C57.12.59-2015 is calculated. For each event, these executions are added up and eventually each event's
damage is added to a total cumulated thermal/mechanical damage quantity.
The per phase total damage quantities are available as actual values and FlexAnalog quantities. Moreover, per phase
through-fault counters, last five through-fault events' start date, time, duration, thermal/mechanical damage, and max
RMS current per phase are available as actual values. The user-programmable fault report (available under the Settings >
Product Setup menu) can be used to generate reports when each new through-fault event happens. For this purpose, use
the THRU FLT x EVE START FlexLogic operand as a pre-fault trigger and THRU FLT x EVE END as a fault trigger. Select
analog channels for the fault report using THRU FLT x TOT ACC A, THRU FLT x TOT ACC B, and THRU FLT x TOT
ACC C.
THROUGH FAULT MON 1 SOURCE 1 — Selects the current signal source for the winding to be monitored.
THROUGH FAULT MON 1 SOURCE 2 — Specifies the second source for configurations where two CTs are feeding the
transformer winding, such as breaker and half configuration. When a CT bank is assigned for this second source, the
summation of source 1 and source 2 currents are used by the element.
The preferred method is to use Source to sum two breaker currents and use just one input to this element. Only assign two
separate sources to this element using this setting when Source summation is not possible because it can experience
some inaccuracy in RMS calculation, especially if fault current has significant amount of harmonics.
THRU FLT MON 1 CT COMPENSATION — Select "None" when the currents measured by the relay are true winding currents.
Selecting SQRT 3 divides the CT current by SQRT(3). This provides the required current compensation when the relay
measures line currents from a delta connected winding with wye connected CTs or when there is an external phase
compensation with interposing CTs for wye transformer winding with delta connected CTs.
THRU FLT MON 1 WINDG RATED MVA — Defines the three phase self-cooled MVA of the monitored winding, for calculation of
normal base current by the element.
THRU FLT MON 1 WINDG NOM Ф-Ф KV — Defines the rated phase to phase voltage of the winding in kilovolts, for calculation of
normal base current by the element.
THRU FLT MON 1 WINDING CATEGORY — Select the monitored winding category as per the table.
The minimum kVA for single phase Category I liquid immersed transformers is 5 kVA. Category IV applies only to liquid
immersed transformers.
THRU FLT MON 1 MAX FLT CUR — This setting defines the maximum symmetrical fault current in pu of the base current.
For transformers of category II and above, when measured symmetrical through fault current is closer to this maximum
fault value, the element changes the damage limit to worst-case mechanical duty (see the Theory of Operation chapter for
details). This duty is 2 seconds at maximum possible fault current.
5
For category I transformers this setting does not impact the element operation.
For category II, III, and IV transformers, this value can be selected equal to inverse of the transformer per unit short-circuit
impedance. For example, for a transformer short-circuit impedance of 12% (0.12 pu) the maximum fault current is 1/0.12 =
8.33 pu. For maximum symmetrical fault currents greater than 25 pu, select 25 pu.
When the transformer is category III or IV, system impedance (in per unit of the specified winding ratings base) is
suggested to be added to the transformer impedance for maximum symmetrical short-circuit current calculation.
THRU FLT MON 1 FREQ FLT LEVEL — For category II and III transformers, the distinguishing factor for considering thermal/
mechanical damage limits (rather than only thermal) is whether the winding is subjected to frequent occurring faults.
Because effects are cumulative over the life of the transformer, this setting provides the option to define a threshold for the
Total Thermal/Mechanical damage as a measure of this fault exposure. Meaning that when THRU FLT 1 TOT ACC (for a
corresponding phase) is below this threshold, only the thermal damage curve is applied, and when above this threshold,
thermal/mechanical damage curves apply.
For category I and IV transformers, this setting does not impact the element operation.
THRU FLT MON 1 TOTAL ACC MAX — This setting defines the cumulative thermal/mechanical damage threshold beyond
which the THRU FLT 1 ACC OP operand of the corresponding phase asserts.
The Thermal/Mechanical damage limit curves are provided by IEEE Std C57. 109-2018 and IEEE Std C57. 12. 59 -
2015 as a uniform minimum standard for withstand capability. Select settings higher than 1 pu only if the
transformer manufacturer confirms higher cumulated thermal/mechanical damage withstand.
If the transformer was protected by another relay before, reduce this threshold proportional to the previous cumulated
damage. For example, if total cumulated damage was 0.3 pu and your setting was 1.0 pu, for the new relay select your
threshold as 0.7 pu.
THRU FLT MON 1 FAULT COUNTER MAX — This setting defines a threshold for the number of detected through-faults per
phase. If the number of faults exceed this threshold, the corresponding phase THRU FLT 1 CNT OP operand asserts.
If the transformer was protected by another relay before, reduce this threshold proportional to the previous relay fault
counter. For example, if maximum faults among the phases is 50 and setting was 500, then select your new relay setting
as 450.
THRU FLT MON 1 CLR — Because records of this element are stored in non-volatile memory, this setting selects a FlexLogic
operand to clear all records of this element and reset all of its operands.
The CLEAR ALL RELAY RECORDS command does not clear this element's records. Only the selected FlexLogic operand of
the setting can do that.
THRU FAULT MON 1 BLK — Selects a FlexLogic operand to inhibit inclusion of inrush currents and internal transformer faults
as transformer through-faults.

Transformer energization, voltage recovery following a clearance of external faults, startup or shutdown of generators
connected to transformers, or following a load injection can cause excessive magnetizing inrush current. The nature of the
magnetizing inrush current contains significant harmonics. The fundamental magnitude of this magnetizing inrush current
can be several times of the rated transformer overload current. Depending on the sensitivity of the feeder or line
overcurrent protection elements, magnetizing inrush current can cause an undesired operation on these overcurrent
protection elements.
In addition, DC offset can cause saturation in current transformers as well as in the input current transformers of
protective relays and can also result in undesired operation on some sensitive protection elements, such as differential
protection, restricted earth fault protection, or sequence overcurrent protection elements.
The Harmonic Detection element monitors one of the selected quantities, including DC offset, 2nd to 5th harmonic, or Total
Harmonics Distortion (THD), that are present in the phase currents and ground current. It adds delay or blocking to prevent
undesired operation. Harmonics are calculated and presented as a percent value relative to the fundamental frequency
phasor magnitude.
When the output of this element is used for blocking protection functions, apply it directly (combination with other
FlexLogic operands adds delay to the blocking).
HARMONIC DET 1 FUNCTION — This setting enables and disables the Harmonic Detection element.
HARMONIC DET 1 SOURCE — Indicates the signal source for this element. Phase currents are taken from the three-phase CT
bank assigned to this source. Ground current is taken from the same source from the ground CT channel.
HARMONIC DET 1 HARMONIC — This setting selects DC, harmonic (2nd to 5th), or THD as the input quantity to be compared
against the pickup threshold in this element. Note that DC, harmonic, and THD are expressed in percent relative to the
fundamental magnitude. This setting applies to all four channels of the selected source. If detection of another harmonic is
required, then set up a separate Harmonic Detection element.
This setting applies to all four channels of the selected source, if detection of another harmonic is required, then set up a
separate Harmonic Detection element.
HARMONIC DET 1 MIN PHS CUR — This setting defines the minimum fundamental frequency current phasor magnitude
required to allow the respective (phase) logic in the harmonic detection element to operate.
HARMONIC DET 1 MAX PHS CUR — This setting defines the maximum fundamental frequency current phasor magnitude of
the phases above which the harmonic detection phase output is inhibited.
HARMONIC DET 1 PHASE FOR OPER — This setting defines the phases required for assertion of the HARMONIC DET 1 OP
operand (except ground current channel). Options are as follows:
ANY ONE — At least one phase picked up (DEFAULT)
ANY TWO — Two or more phases picked up
ALL THREE — All three phases picked up
AVERAGE — The average of three-phase harmonics or THDs picked up
If set to AVERAGE, the relay calculates the average level of the selected harmonic and compares this level against the
pickup setting. Averaging of the selected harmonic follows an adaptive algorithm depending on the fundamental current
magnitude per-phase. If the fundamental magnitude on any of the three phases falls outside of the defined range based
on the MIN PHS CUR and the MAX PHS CUR settings, the selected harmonic current from that phase is dropped (zeroed)
from the equation for averaging, and the divider is decreased from 3 to 2. The same happens if the magnitude of the
fundamental phasor on one of the remaining two phases falls out of the defined range based on the MIN PHS CUR and
5
MAX PHS CUR settings. In this case, the selected harmonic on this phase is dropped from summation, and the divider is
decreased to 1.
HARMONIC DET 1 PHS PICKUP — This setting defines the pickup setting for the phase harmonic detection comparator of this
element.
HARMONIC DET 1 MIN GND CUR — This setting defines the minimum fundamental frequency ground current phasor
magnitude required to allow the respective (ground) logic in this harmonic detection element to operate.
HARMONIC DET 1 MAX GND CUR — This setting defines the maximum fundamental frequency ground current phasor
magnitude above which the harmonic detection ground output is inhibited.
HARMONIC DET 1 GND PICKUP — This setting defines the pickup setting for ground harmonic detection comparator of this
element.
The ground harmonic detection comparator of this element is connected to the ground channel of a CT module. For
standard channels, the conversion range is from 0.02 to 46 times the CT rating. For sensitive channels (sensitive ground CT
types), the conversion range is from 0.002 to 4.6 times the CT rating.
HARMONIC DET 1 PKP DELAY — This setting defines the pickup delay setting for this element.
HARMONIC DET 1 BLK — Assertion of the operand assigned to this setting blocks operation of the Harmonic Detection
element.
HARMONIC DET 1 EVENTS — This setting enables and disables the logging of Harmonic Detection events in the event
recorder.

5.10 Inputs/outputs
5.10.1 Contact inputs
SETTINGS INPUTS / OUTPUTS CONTACT INPUTS
CONTACT INPUTS
CONTACT INPUT
THRESHOLDS
Contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Wet and dry contacts
are supported.
The contact inputs menu contains configuration settings for each contact input as well as voltage thresholds for each
group of four contact inputs. Upon startup, the relay processor determines (from an assessment of the installed modules)
which contact inputs are available and then display settings for only those inputs.
An alphanumeric ID can be assigned to a contact input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes. The
CONTACT IP X On (Logic 1) FlexLogic operand corresponds to contact input “X” being closed, while CONTACT IP X Off
corresponds to contact input “X” being open. The CONTACT INPUT DEBNCE TIME defines the time required for the contact to
overcome ‘contact bouncing’ conditions. As this time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a
maximum contact debounce time (per manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation. If
CONTACT INPUT EVENTS is set to “Enabled,” every change in the contact input state triggers an event.
A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of 0.5 ms as shown in the following
figure. The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new contact input state must be maintained for a
user-settable debounce time in order for the Product to validate the new contact state. In the following figure, the
debounce time is set at 2.5 ms; thus the 6th sample in a row validates the change of state (mark no. 1 in the diagram). Once
validated (de-bounced), the contact input asserts a corresponding FlexLogic operand and logs an event as per user setting.
5
A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that validates the new state is used when logging the change of the
contact input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 2 in the figure).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power system
cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic operand reflecting
the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the validation (marks no. 3 and 4 on the
figure that follows). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection and control functions,
as well as FlexLogic equations, are fed with the updated states of the contact inputs.
The FlexLogic operand response time to the contact input change is equal to the debounce time setting plus up to one
protection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). If the change of state occurs
just after a protection pass, the recognition is delayed until the subsequent protection pass; that is, by the entire duration
of the protection pass. If the change occurs just prior to a protection pass, the state is recognized immediately. Statistically
a delay of half the protection pass is expected. Owing to the 0.5 ms scan rate, the time resolution for the input contact is
below 1 ms.
For example, eight protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a
contact debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic operand-assert time limits are: 3.0 + 0.0 = 3.0 ms and 3.0 + 2.1 = 5.1
ms. These time limits depend on how soon the protection pass runs after the debouncing time.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the contact input event is time-stamped with a 1 ms accuracy using the
time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 2 shown). Therefore, the time stamp reflects a change in the
DC voltage across the contact input terminals that was not accidental as it was subsequently validated using the
debounce timer. Keep in mind that the associated FlexLogic operand is asserted/de-asserted later, after validating the
change.
The debounce algorithm is symmetrical: the same procedure and debounce time are used to filter the LOW-HIGH (marks
no.1, 2, 3, and 4 in the figure) and HIGH-LOW (marks no. 5, 6, 7, and 8) transitions.

5 Contact inputs are isolated in groups of four to allow connection of wet contacts from different voltage sources for each
group. The CONTACT INPUT THRESHOLDS determine the minimum voltage required to detect a closed contact input. This
value is selected according to the following criteria: 17 for 24 V sources, 33 for 48 V sources, 84 for 110 to 125 V sources
and 166 for 250 V sources.
For example, to use contact input H5a as a status input from the breaker 52b contact to seal-in the trip relay and record it
in the Event Records menu, make the following settings changes:
CONTACT INPUT H5a ID: "Breaker Closed (52b)"
CONTACT INPUT H5a EVENTS: "Enabled"
Note that the 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.
The virtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR-series internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include
signals generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic equations used to customize the
device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic equations.
The virtual inputs can be individually programmed to respond to input signals from the keypad (via the COMMANDS menu)
and communications protocols. All virtual input operands are defaulted to “Off” (logic 0) unless the appropriate input signal
is received.
If the VIRTUAL INPUT x FUNCTION is to “Disabled,” the input is forced to off (logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter the
input. If set to “Enabled,” the input operates as shown on the logic diagram and generates output FlexLogic operands in
response to received input signals and the applied settings.
There are two types of operation: self-reset and latched. If VIRTUAL INPUT x type is “Self-Reset,” when the input signal
transits from off to on, the output operand is set to on for only one evaluation of the FlexLogic equations and then return to
off. If set to “Latched,” the virtual input sets the state of the output operand to the same state as the most recent received
input.
The self-reset operating mode generates the output operand for a single evaluation of the FlexLogic equations. If the
operand is to be used anywhere other than internally in a FlexLogic equation, it likely needs to be lengthened in time. A
FlexLogic timer with a delayed reset can perform this function.

A contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Wet and dry contacts
are supported.
Upon startup of the relay, the main processor determines from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and then presents the settings for only these outputs. Where the contact input is non-
latching, the settings are as shown.
An ID can be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output can be any FlexLogic
operand (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic operand can be used to
SEAL-IN the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
For example, the trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A
contacts (see the trip circuit example in the Digital Elements section). The monitor sets a flag (see the specifications for
Form-A). The name of the FlexLogic operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the
name of the flag; for example, Cont OP 1 IOn.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect
operation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in
the trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the
tripping circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called trip seal-in.
This can be realized using the Cont OP 1 IOn FlexLogic operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 ID: “Cont Op 1"
OUTPUT H1 OPERATE: any suitable FlexLogic operand
OUTPUT H1 SEAL-IN: “Cont Op 1 IOn”
CONTACT OUTPUT H1 EVENTS: “Enabled”

The latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such
they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and
populates the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the
hardware before executing any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic).
The latching output modules, either as part of the relay or as individual modules, are shipped from the factory with all
latching contacts open. It is highly recommended to double-check the programming and positions of the latching contacts
when replacing a module.
Since the relay asserts the output contact and reads back its position, it is possible to incorporate self-monitoring
capabilities for the latching outputs. If any latching outputs exhibits a discrepancy, the LATCHING OUTPUT ERROR self-test
error is declared. The error is signaled by the LATCHING OUT ERROR FlexLogic operand, event, and target message.
Settings shown use H1a as an example. The menu varies; not all fields shown display.
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE — This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the ‘close coil’ of the contact. The relay seals-
in this input to safely close the contact. Once the contact is closed and the RESET input is logic 0 (off), any activity of the
OPERATE input, such as subsequent chattering, does not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and RESET inputs active
(logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1a TYPE setting.
OUTPUT H1a RESET or SEAL-IN — This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the ‘trip coil’ of the contact. The relay
seals-in this input to safely open the contact. Once the contact is opened and the OPERATE input is logic 0 (off), any activity
of the RESET input, such as subsequent chattering, does not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and RESET inputs
active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1a TYPE setting.
OUTPUT H1a TYPE — This setting specifies the contact response under conflicting control inputs; that is, when both the
OPERATE and RESET signals are applied. With both control inputs applied simultaneously, the contact closes if set to
“Operate-dominant” and opens if set to “Reset-dominant.”

Some events can be programmed to latch the front panel LED event indicators, target messages, and/or graphical front
panel annunciator windows. Once set, the latching mechanism holds the latched indicators, messages, or windows in the
set state after the initiating condition has cleared until a RESET command is received to return these latches (not including
FlexLogic latches) to the reset state where the initiating condition has cleared. The RESET command can be sent from the
front panel RESET button, a remote device via a communications channel, or any selected operand. The Modbus execute
function 05h with operation code 1 command is also available to perform the same function as the front panel RESET key.
RESET OPERAND — The three sources of RESET commands each activates the RESET OP FlexLogic operand. Each individual
source of a RESET command also activates its individual operand RESET OP (PUSHBUTTON), RESET OP (COMMS), or
RESET OP (OPERAND) to identify the source of the command. Each of these three operands generates an event in the
event record when activated. The RESET OPERAND setting here selects the operand that activates the RESET OP
(OPERAND) operand.
RESET ANNUNCIATOR — Used to select a FlexLogic operand that when activated acknowledges/resets all annunciator
windows on the graphical front panel. The other methods to acknowledge/reset annunciator windows include:
• On the displayed page, press the RESET pushbutton with none of the annunciator windows selected to acknowledge/
reset all annunciator windows on that page
• To acknowledge/reset a specific annunciator window, use the Up, Down, Left and Right pushbuttons to select the
window, and press the RESET or ENTER pushbutton
• All annunciator windows can be reset remotely by programming a Virtual Input (for example Virtual Input 1) as the
input to the RESET ANNUNCIATOR setting. Then the Modbus execute function 05h with operation code 1000h command
(or function 10h with address 400h) is used to set the state of Virtual Input 1.
For the RESET ANNUNCIATOR setting, the RESET ANCTR OP FlexLogic operand is activated by the two sources of RESET
command, operand source and manual source. Each individual source of a RESET ANNUNCIATOR command also activates
its individual operand RESET OP (OPRD) or RESET ANCTR OP (MNUL) to identify the source of the command. Each of
these two operands generates an event in the event record when activated. The setting here selects the operand that
activates the RESET ANCTR OP (OPRD) operand. The RESET pushbutton on the front panel or the reset command from
the software activates the RESET ANCTR OP (MNUL) operand.

5.10.7 Teleprotection
5 5.10.7.1 Overview
The relay provides 16 teleprotection inputs on communications channel 1 (numbered 1-1 through 1-16) and 16
teleprotection inputs on communications channel 2 (on two-terminals two-channel and three-terminal systems only,
numbered 2-1 through 2-16). The remote relay connected to channels 1 and 2 of the local relay is programmed by
assigning FlexLogic operands to be sent via the selected communications channel. This allows the user to create
distributed protection and control schemes via dedicated communications channels. Some examples are directional
comparison pilot schemes and direct transfer tripping. Note that failures of communications channels affect
teleprotection functionality. The teleprotection function must be enabled to utilize the inputs.
Setting the TELEPROT INPUT ~~ DEFAULT setting to “On” defaults the input to logic 1 when the channel fails. A value of “Off”
defaults the input to logic 0 when the channel fails.
The “Latest/On” and “Latest/Off” values freeze the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is not known,
such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, then the input defaults to logic 1 for “Latest/
On” and logic 0 for “Latest/Off.”
As the following figure demonstrates, processing of the teleprotection inputs/outputs is dependent on the number of
communication channels and terminals. On two-terminal two-channel systems, they are processed continuously on each
channel and mapped separately per channel. Therefore, to achieve redundancy, the user must assign the same operand
on both channels (teleprotection outputs at the sending end or corresponding teleprotection inputs at the receiving end).
On three-terminal two-channel systems, redundancy is achieved by programming signal re-transmittal in the case of
channel failure between any pair of relays.

The T35 is provided with optional DCmA capability, specified at the time of ordering.
5 Hardware and software are provided to receive signals from external transducers and to convert these signals into a
digital format for use as required. The relay accepts inputs in the range of –1 to +20 mA DC, suitable for use with most
common transducer output ranges; all inputs are assumed to be linear over the complete range. Hardware details are
contained in chapter 3.
Before the DCmA input signal can be used, the value of the signal measured by the relay must be converted to the range
and quantity of the external transducer primary input parameter, such as DC voltage or temperature. The relay simplifies
this process by internally scaling the output from the external transducer and displaying the actual primary parameter.
DCmA input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. Configure the individual channels with the
settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay automatically generates configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general
manner that is used for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8
inclusive, which is used as the channel number. The relay generates an actual value for each available input channel.
Settings are generated automatically for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel
of a type 5F transducer module installed in slot F.
The function of the channel can be “Enabled” or “Disabled.” If “Disabled,” no actual values are created for the channel. An
alphanumeric “ID” is assigned to each channel; this ID is included in the channel actual value, along with the programmed
units associated with the parameter measured by the transducer, such as volts, °C, megawatts, and so on. This ID is also
used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. The DCMA
INPUT F1 RANGE setting specifies the mA DC range of the transducer connected to the input channel.
The DCMA INPUT F1 MIN VALUE and DCMA INPUT F1 MAX VALUE settings are used to program the span of the transducer in
primary units. For example, a temperature transducer might have a span from 0 to 250 °C; in this case the DCMA INPUT F1
MIN VALUE value is “0” and the DCMA INPUT F1 MAX VALUE value is “250.” Another example is a watts transducer with a span
from –20 to +180 MW; in this case the DCMA INPUT F1 MIN VALUE value is “–20” and the DCMA INPUT F1 MAX VALUE value is
“180.” Intermediate values between the minimum and maximum values are scaled linearly.
RTD INPUT F1 TYPE: Range: 100Ω Nickel, 10Ω Copper, 100Ω Platinum,
100Ω Platinum 120Ω Nickel
Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external resistance temperature detectors and convert these
signals into a digital format for use as required. These channels are intended to be connected to any of the RTD types in
common use. Specific hardware details are contained in chapter 3.
RTD input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with
the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay automatically generates configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general

Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel
of a type 5C transducer module installed in the first available slot.
The function of the channel can be either “Enabled” or “Disabled.” If “Disabled,” there is not an actual value created for the
channel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to the channel; this ID is included in the channel actual values. It is also used to
reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. Selecting the type
of RTD connected to the channel configures the channel.
5
Actions based on RTD overtemperature, such as trips or alarms, are done in conjunction with the FlexElements feature. In
FlexElements, the operate level is scaled to a base of 100°C. For example, a trip level of 150°C is achieved by setting the
operate level at 1.5 pu. FlexElement operands are available to FlexLogic for further interlocking or to operate an output
contact directly.
See the following table for reference temperature values for each RTD type.
Hardware and software is provided to generate DCmA signals that allow interfacing with external equipment. Hardware
details are contained in chapter 3. The DCmA output channels are arranged in a manner similar to transducer input or CT
and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with the settings as follows.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up, the
relay automatically generates configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same manner used
for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclusive, which is used as
the channel number.
Both the output range and a signal driving a given output are user-programmable via the following settings menu (an
example for channel M5 is shown).
The relay checks the driving signal (x in equations below) for the minimum and maximum limits, and subsequently re-
scales so the limits defined as MIN VAL and MAX VAL match the output range of the hardware defined as RANGE. The
following equation is applied:
where
x is a driving signal specified by the SOURCE setting
Imin and Imax are defined by the RANGE setting
k is a scaling constant calculated as:
I max – I min
k = -------------------------------------------
- Eq. 5-53
MAX VAL – MIN VAL
The feature is intentionally inhibited if the MAX VAL and MIN VAL settings are entered incorrectly, for example when MAX VAL
5
– MIN VAL < 0.1 pu. The resulting characteristic is illustrated in the following figure.

Settings
DCMA OUTPUT F1 SOURCE — This setting specifies an internal analog value to drive the analog output. Actual values
(FlexAnalog parameters) such as power, current amplitude, voltage amplitude, power factor, etc. can be configured as
sources driving DCmA outputs. See Appendix A for a list of FlexAnalog parameters.
DCMA OUTPUT F1 RANGE — This setting allows selection of the output range. Each DCmA channel can be set independently
to work with different ranges. The three most commonly used output ranges are available.
DCMA OUTPUT F1 MIN VAL — This setting allows setting the minimum limit for the signal that drives the output. This setting is
used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current. The setting is entered in per-unit
values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexElement base units.
DCMA OUTPUT F1 MAX VAL — This setting allows setting the maximum limit for the signal that drives the output. This setting
is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current. The setting is entered in per-unit
values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexElement base units.
The DCMA OUTPUT F1 MIN VAL and DCMA OUTPUT F1 MAX VAL settings are ignored for power factor base units (that is,
if the DCMA OUTPUT F1 SOURCE is set to FlexAnalog value based on power factor measurement).
The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:

The base unit for voltage (see the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
The minimum and maximum voltage values to be monitored (in pu) are:
161.66 kV 254.03 kV
minimum voltage = ----------------------- = 0.404 pu, maximum voltage = ----------------------- = 0.635 pu Eq. 5-63
400 kV 400 kV
The following settings are entered:
DCMA OUTPUT H3 SOURCE: “SRC 2 V_1 mag”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 RANGE: “0 to 1 mA”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MIN VAL: “0.404 pu”
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MAX VAL: “0.635 pu”
The limit settings differ from the expected 0.7 pu and 1.1 pu because the relay calculates the positive-sequence quantities
scaled to the phase-to-ground voltages, even if the VTs are connected in “Delta” (see the Metering Conventions section in
chapter 6), while at the same time the VT nominal voltage is 1 pu for the settings. Consequently the settings required in this
example differ from naturally expected by the factor of 3 .
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
• ±0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or ± 0.005 x (1-0) x 254.03 kV = ±1.27 kV
• ±0.5% of reading
For example, under nominal conditions, the positive-sequence reads 230.94 kV and the worst-case error is
0.005 × 230.94 kV + 1.27 kV = 2.42 kV.

5.12.1 IED mode config
SETTINGS TESTING IED MODE CONFIG
IED MODE CONFIG IED MODE: Range: On, Test, Test Blocked
On
5 The T35 provides a test facility to verify the functionality of contact inputs and outputs, some communication functions
and the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU, where applicable), using simulated conditions. It is accessible in the software and
graphical front panel.
IED MODE — Can be in one of three states: On, Test, or Test Blocked. In UR 7.7 and later, as outlined in the Simulation section
that follows, the UR test mode and GOOSE simulation mode are isolated, and they no longer depend on the mode setting
here.
The On mode is for normal in service operation; the relay protection, control, and communication function is normal. Test
features are disabled, except channel tests and PMU tests remain usable when provided. In On mode, the front panel Test
Mode LED is off.
The Test Blocked mode is implemented per IEC61850-7-4 standard. This allows the relay to be isolated quickly so that it
cannot negatively affect the power system or other parts of the substation automation system. This is primarily used for
testing purposes, but can also be used for loading new firmware, changing hardware modules, and changing
communication connections etc., providing all local or regional safety/testing guidelines are adhered to.
As far as practical, all relay output signals are blocked, contact outputs are de-energized, and latching outputs are frozen.
Commands to HardFiber Bricks are blocked. The test bit of quality attribute of values that can be output via IEC 61850
services is set to "TRUE." The validity bit of the quality attribute of the data sent via IEC 61850 services is set to "GOOD" if no
major error is active. Direct I/O, 87L channel and PMU tests are operational on applicable models. In Test Blocked mode,
the front panel Test Mode LED is on.
The Test mode is for testing involving forcing relay operation by test signal injection and verifying correct relay output. This
mode is also for tests to verify the relay outputs (both contact and communications) have the intended impact on specific
power system devices or on specific other substation automation devices. Contact outputs can be selectively enabled or
forced as described in the Force Contact Inputs and Force Contact Outputs sections that follow. Shared outputs to Bricks
have their test mode flag raised, which results in their value only being accepted by relays also in forcible Test mode. The
test bit and validity bit of the quality attribute of data sent via IEC 61850 services are set as "TRUE" and "GOOD"
respectively. In Test mode, the front panel Test Mode LED flashes.
Otherwise, the UR remains fully operational while in the Test mode, allowing for various testing procedures. In particular,
the protection and control elements, and FlexLogic function normally. Other than the IEC 61850 protocol, communications
based inputs and outputs remain fully operational. The test procedure must take this into account. Direct I/O channel tests
and PMU tests are usable on applicable models.
When set to Test mode and the operand selected by the CONTACT I/O FORCING setting is "On"
• If the FORCE Cont Ip # setting is set to Open or Closed, the respective quality attribute of the data sent via IEC 61850
services is set to q.source = "substituted"
• If the FORCE Cont Op # setting is set to Energized, De-energized, or Freeze, the respective quality attribute of the data
sent via IEC 61850 services is set to q.source = "substituted"
When the Breaker Status is substituted manually from a graphical front panel, the respective quality attribute of the
breaker position data sett via IEC 61850 services is set to q.source = "substituted."
The IED MODE setting can be selected through
• Front panel
• EnerVista UR Setup software
• FlexLogic operands
• IEC 61850 control to LLN0.Mod
• "INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM" setting (under SIMULATION > SUBSCRIBE TO SIMULATED VALUES menu)
It is important to note that following the writing of a new setting file to the relay, IED behavior will change according
to the IED MODE CONFIG settings in the new file. The user must ensure that IED MODE CONFIG settings in the new
file are set according to the expected behavior following the writing of the new setting file.
TEST MODE INPUT — This setting selects a FlexLogic operand that can put the UR into Test mode as per the logic diagram.
5
Any FlexLogic operand can be assigned to enable forcible Test mode, that is driven by any remote inputs, logic outputs,
front panel (user-programmable push buttons), and so on.
TEST-BLK MODE INPUT — This setting selects a FlexLogic operand that can put the UR into Test Blocked mode as per the
logic diagram. Any FlexLogic operand can be assigned to enable test isolated mode, that is driven by any remote inputs,
logic outputs, front panel (user-programmable push buttons) and so on.
MODE CTRL VIA MMS — This setting selects a FlexLogic operand for an IEC 61850 client to control the IED mode. When the
operand is low/off, IED mode control from the IEC 61850 client is disabled, and the control request to LLN0.Mod.ctlVal
returns return a negative response. When high/on, IED mode control by an IEC 61850 client is accepted.
CONTACT I/O FORCING — When in Test mode, the operand selected by this setting dictates further response of the UR to
testing conditions, as described in the Force Contact Inputs and Force Contact Outputs sections that follow. When no
operand is specified in this setting, forcing of inputs and outputs during Test mode are not available.
The test mode state is indicated on the relay front panel by a combination of the Test Mode LED indicator, the In-Service
LED indicator, and by the critical fail relay, as shown in the table.
IED MODE TARGET — When this setting is Enabled, the corresponding target message of IED Mode Config is displayed on
the front panel when the relay behavior is either TEST or TEST BLOCKED. The target message gets self-reset when the relay
behavior is ON.
When this setting is Disabled, target message is not displayed when the relay behavior is either TEST or TEST BLOCKED.

Following a restart or power-up, the CONTACT I/O FORCING setting remains at the last value before restart, but force
contact input and force contact output settings revert to Normal state.
Before uploading settings to the Online Window from the Offline Window of the software, ensure that the settings
in this panel in the Offline Window have been set to required values. Otherwise, undesired relay operation can
occur.
IED BEHAVIOR — Displays the actual behavior of the IED based on different inputs to control the IED MODE. Note that the test
mode can be changed through the front panel, EnerVista software, FlexLogic operands, IEC 61850 control to LLN0.Mod,
and INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM setting, with the following behavior.
TEST MODE TRIP SECURITY — This setting is used to govern both IOC Trip Security and Differential Trip Security functions. It is
in effect only when the IED is not in the normal in-service operation mode (i.e., IED Mode is set to a value other than On).

5 MODE ON SIM") when the relay is put into simulation mode. After this, the IED MODE is controlled by the TESTING IED MODE
CONFIG menu.
The IED MODE selection is illustrated in the logic diagram.
The SR Latch that drives the UR into Test mode or On mode are reset-dominant, which means that Test Blocked mode has
the highest priority over Test and On modes, when simultaneous commands are active. For example, if both the FlexLogic
operands assigned to the TEST MODE INPUT and TEST-BLK MODE INPUT settings are ON, then the IED MODE is Test Blocked.
If Any Major error FlexLogic operand is set, then IED MODE is set to Test Blocked.
Following UR restart or power-up, the IED MODE remains latched at the last value, until change is trigged by another input/
command.
When the relay simulation mode is enabled (LPHD.Sim.stVal = TRUE), the "INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM" setting triggers
respective test mode. If the relay is already in Test or Test Blocked mode, the priority scheme defined in the IED MODE
processing logic decides the resulting IED mode.
In summary, enabling the Test or Test Blocked mode in the TESTING IED MODE CONFIG menu has no impact on the
simulation mode. However, enabling the simulation mode triggers the respective test mode selected by the "INITIATE TEST
MODE ON SIM" setting and the resulting IED mode is decided by the IED MODE process logic diagram. Once the simulation
mode is enabled, the user can switch independently among IED modes using the IED MODE CONFIG settings while the
simulation mode continues.
As shown in the logic diagram, the "INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM" setting triggers the respective IED mode only when the
relay is entering into simulation mode (meaning on the positive edge trigger of RLY IN SIM MODE FlexLogic operand) or
there is a change in the "INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM" setting value. Once simulation mode is enabled, any command to
change the IED Mode triggers the respective IED mode. When the simulation mode is disabled, the test mode initiated by
"INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM" setting resets.

The force contact inputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact inputs.
While in Test mode, the relay contact inputs can be pre-programmed to respond in the following ways:
• If set to “Normal,” the input remains fully operational. It is controlled by the voltage across its input terminals and can
be turned on and off by external circuitry. Select this value if a given input must be operational during the test. This
includes, for example, an input initiating the test, or being a part of a user pre-programmed test sequence.
• If set to “Open,” the input is forced to report as opened (Logic 0) while the operand selected by CONTACT I/O FORCING
setting is On, regardless of the voltage across the input terminals. While the selected operand is Off, the input behaves
as it does when in service.
• If set to “Closed,” the input is forced to report as closed (Logic 1) while the operand selected by CONTACT I/O FORCING
setting is On regardless of the voltage across the input terminals. While the selected operand is Off, the input behaves
as it does when in service.
Following a restart or power-up, the CONTACT I/O FORCING setting remains at the last value before restart, but force
contact input and force contact output settings revert to Normal state.
The force contact outputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact outputs.
While in Test mode, the relay contact outputs can be pre-programmed to respond in the following ways:
• If set to “Normal,” the contact output remains fully operational. It operates when its control operand is logic 1 and
resets when its control operand is logic 0.
• If set to “Energized,” the output closes and remains closed while the operand selected by the CONTACT I/O FORCING
setting is On, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact. While the selected
operand is Off, the output behaves as it does when in service.
• If set to “De-energized,” the output opens and remains opened while the operand selected by the CONTACT I/O
FORCING setting is On, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact. While the
selected operand is Off, the output behaves as it does when in service.
• If set to “Freeze,” the output retains its position at the instant before the IED MODE was Test and the operand selected
by the CONTACT I/O FORCING setting was On, regardless of later changes in the status of the operand configured to
control the output contact. While the selected operand is Off, the output behaves as it does when in service.
Following a restart or power-up, the CONTACT I/O FORCING setting remains at the last value before restart, but force
contact input and force contact output settings revert to Normal state.

SIMULATION SIMULATED VALUES
The T35 is provided with optional IEC 61850 communications that include simulation. The option is specified at
the time of ordering. The field reads "Unavailable" when IEC 61850 is not present.
Prior to UR 7.7, when the UR TEST MODE FUNCTION is set to "Test Blocked" or "Test," the sim bit in the header of all
transmitted GOOSE messages is set to "TRUE," so that the UR plays the simulator role during the testing and
commissioning phases. The "Sim" data attribute in the relay is set (<MasterLD>/LPHD1.Sim.stVal = TRUE), so that if GOOSE
5
messages are received with the "simulation" flag set, these are used in place of the normal messages. The quality attribute
values that are transmitted via GOOSE services are set to "valid" + "test."
In UR 7.7 and later, the UR test mode and GOOSE simulation mode are isolated. The sim bit in the transmitted GOOSE
messages and the relay "Sim" attribute (<MasterLD>/LPHD1.Sim.stVal) are controlled via new Modbus settings and MMS
control requests. They no longer depend on the UR TEST MODE FUNCTION or IED MODE.
The settings also display in the software when the T35 is set to IEC 61850 Edition 2. When using IEC 61850 Edition 1, the
settings are read-only.
SIMULATION MODE — When set to Disabled, the relay "Sim" attribute (<MasterLD>/LPHD1.Sim.StVal) is set to False and the
GOOSE/SV messages received with simulation flag/bit set are ignored.
When set to Enabled, the relay "Sim" attribute (<MasterLD>/LPHD1.Sim.StVal) is set to True, so that if GOOSE/SV messages
are received with the "simulation" flag/bit set, these are used in place of the normal messages.
SV messages has a simulation bit in the Reserved 1 field.
SIM MODE INPUT — This setting selects a FlexLogic operand. When set, the relay Simulation mode is enabled and, if the
messages (either GOOSE or SV) are received with the simulation bit true, messages from simulation devices are used in
place of actual messages. Any FlexLogic operand can be assigned to enable simulation mode, that is, driven by any
remote inputs, logic outputs, front panel (user-programmable pushbuttons), and so on.
SIM CTRL VIA MMS — This setting selects a FlexLogic operand for the IEC 61850 client to control the simulation mode.
When set to Off, simulation mode selection via IEC 61850 client is disabled and control request to LPHD.Sim.ctlVal returns
return negative response.
When set to On, simulation mode selection via IEC 61850 client is accepted.
This setting can be set from the front panel, EnerVista UR Setup software, FlexLogic operand, and IEC61850 control to
LPHD.Sim.ctlVal.
INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM — This setting initiates the selected test mode when simulation mode is enabled.
When set to Disabled, any command (from an IEC 61850 client, front panel, or Flex Operand) to set the simulation mode
enables the Sim mode irrespective of the current IED mode.
When set to Test or Test-Blocked, any command to set the simulation mode selects respective test mode, if the relay is not
already in Test or Test-Blocked mode. If the relay is already in Test or Test-Blocked mode by any user command (from IEC
61850 client, front panel, or Flex Operand), the respective priority defined in test mode processing decides the resultant
test mode.
In summary, enabling the Test or Test-Blocked mode via the IED MODE setting (from front panel or EnerVista), via a
IEC61850 client command to LLN0.Mod.ctlVal, or via TEST MODE INPUT and TEST-BLK MODE INPUT settings (FlexLogic
operands) has no impact on the simulation mode. However, enabling the simulation mode using the SIMULATION MODE
setting (from front panel or EnerVista), via an IEC61850 client command to LPHD.Sim.ctlVal, or via SIM MODE INPUT setting
(FlexLogic operand) enables the selected test mode by the INITIATE TEST MODE ON SIM setting. A user can independently
disable the test or test-blocked mode by any specified command type, but the relay simulation mode continues and
accepts the simulated values in place of actual values until the simulation mode is disabled.
SIM MODE TARGET — When this setting is Enabled, a target message ‘IED IN SIM MODE’ is displayed on the front panel when
the relay is in Simulation mode. The target message gets self-reset when the relay exits the Simulation mode.
When this setting is Disabled, target message is not displayed when the relay is in Simulation mode.
SIM MODE EVENT — This setting is used to control whether the change in Simulation mode of relay is recorded in the event
recorder. When this setting is Enabled, the event showing the change in the status of Simulation is recorded. If this setting
is Disabled, the events related to Simulation mode are not recorded.
SIMULATION MODE STATUS — This is an actual value that indicates the present simulation mode of the relay.

This menu displays when the product includes an IEEE 1588 software option.
RTC SYNC SOURCE — The time synchronizing source the relay is using at present. Possible sources include Port 1 PTP Clock
to Port 3 PTP Clock. A value of Other means a less precise source (IEC 103, IEC 104, Modbus, DNP). An actual value displays
when the relay includes the IEEE 1588 software option.
When the SYNCHRONIZING SOURCE setting in Settings > Product Setup > Real Time Clock is set to “PBM Clock”, the RTC
SYNC SOURCE should also be set to “Process Bus Module Clock”.
GRANDMASTER ID — The grandmasterIdentity code being received from the present PTP grandmaster, if any. When the
relay is not using any PTP grandmaster, this actual value is zero. The grandmasterIdentity code is specified by PTP to be
globally unique, so one can always know which clock is grandmaster in a system with multiple grandmaster-capable
clocks.
ACCURACY — The estimated maximum time error at present in the RTC, considering the quality information embedded in
the received time signal. The value 999,999,999 indicates that the magnitude of the estimated error is one second or more,
or that the error cannot be estimated.
PORT 1…3 PTP STATE — The present state of the port’s PTP clock. The PTP clock state is:
• Disabled if the port’s function setting is Disabled
• No Signal if enabled but no signal from an active master has been found and selected
• Calibrating if an active master has been selected but lock is not at present established
• Synch’d (No Pdelay) if the port is synchronized, but the peer delay mechanism is non-operational
• Synch’d (Inv UTCoff) when Synchronized to PTP master with currentUtcOffsetValid =False
• Synch’d (Nopd INVoff) if the port is synchronized, but the peer delay mechanism is non-operational and PTP master
has currentUtcOffsetValid =False
• Synchronized if synchronized
PTP - IRIG-B DELTA — The time difference, measured in nanoseconds, between the fractional seconds portion of the time
being received via PTP and that being received via IRIG-B. A positive value indicates that PTP time is fast compared to IRIG-
B time.

The AVERAGE MSG RETURN TIME is the time taken for direct output messages to return to the sender in a direct input/output
ring configuration (this value is not applicable for non-ring configurations). This is a rolling average calculated for the last
ten messages. There are two return times for dual-channel communications modules.
The UNRETURNED MSG COUNT values (one per communications channel) count the direct output messages that do not
make the trip around the communications ring. The CRC FAIL COUNT values (one per communications channel) count the
direct output messages that have been received but fail the CRC check. High values for either of these counts can indicate
on a problem with wiring, the communication channel, or one or more relays. The UNRETURNED MSG COUNT and CRC FAIL
COUNT values can be cleared using the CLEAR DIRECT I/O COUNTERS command.
The DIRECT INPUT 1 to DIRECT INPUT values represent the state of each direct input.
These actual values represent the state of direct devices 1 through 16.

These values specify the remaining number of TCP connections still available for each protocol. The display depends on the
options applicable to your device. Each time a connection is used, the remaining number of connections decrements.
When released, the remaining number of connections increments. If no connection is made over the specific protocol, the
number equals the maximum number available for the specific protocol.
For example, the maximum number of Modbus TCP connections is 4. Once an EnerVista session is opened on a computer
connected to the UR over Ethernet, the Modbus TCP status shows 3. If the EnerVista application is closed, the Modbus TCP
status shows 4.
For the graphical front panel, the remaining connections refer to TCP connections only.
MMS TCP — The number of IEC 61850 connections remaining.

This status is relevant to R-GOOSE reception when configured for SSM or ASM reception modes. It is not relevant for GOOSE
or for R-GOOSE in unicast reception mode.
ARP — The unicast mode of R-GOOSE transmission requires Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for the resolution of the
network layer address into the MAC layer address. R-TxGOOSE## ARP status On indicates that ARP responses are being
received and the destination MAC address for R-GOOSE transmissions has been obtained. This status remains Off if
TxGOOSE## is not configured for R-GOOSE. It also remains Off if setting R-TxGOOSE1 DST IP is set to a multicast address. In
the case where setting R-TxGOOSE1 DST IP is configured with a unicast address and this status indicates Off, TxGOOSE##
transmission will be off, and therefore communication network diagnosis needs to be carried out.
This status is only applicable for R-GOOSE transmission with setting R-TxGOOSE1 DST IP set to a unicast IP address. It is not
applicable for GOOSE or for R-GOOSE when setting R-TxGOOSE1 DST IP is multicast.

The relay first determines if any “Phase VT” bank is indicated in the source. If it is, voltage channel VA of that bank is used
as the angle reference. Otherwise, the relay determines if any “Aux VT” bank is indicated; if it is, the auxiliary voltage
channel of that bank is used as the angle reference. If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, then two more steps of this
hierarchical procedure to determine the reference signal include “Phase CT” bank and “Ground CT” bank.
If the AC signal pre-selected by the relay upon configuration is not measurable, the phase angles are not referenced. The
phase angles are assigned as positive in the leading direction, and are presented as negative in the lagging direction, to
more closely align with power system metering conventions. The figure illustrates this.

This menu displays the metered values available for each source.
Metered values presented for each source depend on the phase and auxiliary VTs and phase and ground CTs assignments
for this particular source. For example, if no phase VT is assigned to this source, then any voltage, energy, and power
values are unavailable.
The metered phase current values are displayed in this menu. The "SRC 1" text gets replaced by whatever name was
programmed by the user for the associated source (see SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES).
The metered ground current values are displayed in this menu. The "SRC 1" text is replaced by the name programmed by

When VTs are configured in wye, the T35 calculates power in each phase and three-phase power is measured as
S = VA x ÎA + VB x ÎB + VC x ÎC Eq. 6-1
When VTs are configured in delta, the T35 does not calculate power in each phase and three-phase power is measured as
S = VAB x ÎA + VCB x ÎC Eq. 6-2
where
S is the apparent power
VA, VB, VC, IA, IB, IC are phase voltage and phase current phasors
VAB and VCB are phase-to-phase voltage phasors
Î is the conjugate of I
The metered frequency values are displayed in this menu. The "SRC 1" text is replaced by the name programmed by the
user for the associated source (see SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES).
SOURCE FREQUENCY is measured via software-implemented zero-crossing detection of an AC signal. The signal is either a
Clarke transformation of three-phase voltages or currents, auxiliary voltage, or ground current as per source configuration
(see the SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM settings). The signal used for frequency estimation is low-pass filtered. The final
frequency measurement is passed through a validation filter that eliminates false readings due to signal distortions and
transients.
The Tracking Frequency and the Active Frequency and Phase Reference are metered as shown here. The tracking
frequency is calculated from the signals defined in the Active Frequency and Phase Reference. Note that based on the
signal availability and the settings defined in the Main and Alternate Frequency and Phase Reference, the Active Frequency
and Phase Reference might be switched between main and alternate frequency reference in runtime.
6 The frequency calculated in main and alternate reference respectively are also metered as shown here. They will be
displayed as 0 if the signal in this reference is lost or it’s not configured.

this diagnostics is within 1/8 of a power system cycle.
Sample Value processing delay...Max Delay — The maximum time delay in received sample values. The accuracy threshold of
this diagnostics is within 1/8 of a power system cycle.
Sample Value processing delay...Avg Delay — The average time delay for received sample values. A delay up to about 1.5
milliseconds (1500 µsec) is normal. The accuracy threshold of this diagnostics is within 1/8 of a power system cycle.
SV Delay Alarm Counter — The number of times that sampled values from a configured SV stream are delayed for more than
the Settings > Process Bus Module > General > SV Delay Alarm setting. Counters wrap around when they reach 4294967295.
Sample Estimation Counter — The number of times that the relay used an internal estimation algorithm to substitute a
missing sample value. Counters wrap around when they reach 4294967295.
Stream Status — The status of a configured SV stream. If the Settings > Process Bus Module > SV Stream Config > SV Stream
setting is set to Disabled, this value is shown as Disabled. If the setting is set to IEC 61850-9-2LE or IEC 61869-9 and
received sample values are accepted by the relay, this value is shown as Online. If received sample values are rejected, or
sample values are lost (frames not received), stream status changes to Offline.
Latest Unacceptable Quality — Time stamp of the latest sample value with unacceptable quality, in any data item in a
dataset. This time stamp has 1/8 of a power system cycle accuracy threshold.
Latest Sim Bit Change — The time stamp of latest change in simulation bit status of the received RxSV# messages. This time
stamp has 1/8 of a power system cycle accuracy threshold.
SmpSync Latest Update Time — The time stamp of the latest sample value for which the SmpSync attribute was different
from the previous samples. This value determines when the time source that sample value stream is synchronized to has
changed. This time stamp has 1/8 of a power system cycle accuracy threshold.
SmpSync Changes in Past 24hrs — The number of times the SmpSync attribute in the sample value messages from this
stream has changed in the past 24 hours. This counter is updated every hour. Counters wrap around when they reach
4294967295. The accuracy of this metric is 1.5 hours over a 24-hour period.

Additional actual values for time are available under Actual Values > Status > Real Time Clock Synchronizing.
Sync Source — This is the time synchronizing source that the UR Process Bus Module is using at present. It displays CPU
Clock when the 1 pulse per second (PPS) signal from the main CPU drives the Process Bus Module clock. It displays None
when the Process Bus Module clock free runs. It displays SV Sync Stream when the Process Bus Module clock is
synchronized to the configured reference stream. It displays PBM Clock when the Process Bus Module clock is
synchronized to a PTP grandmaster clock. The time synchronizing source itself is set using SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP
REAL TIME CLOCK and SETTINGS PROCESS BUS MODULE PBM PTP PTP FUNCTION. If the latter is not set, then the Sync
Source displays None even when the REAL TIME CLOCK setting is configured.
Grandmaster ID — This is the grandmaster clock (grandmasterIdentity) of the present PTP network if any. When the UR
Process Bus Module is not using any PTP grandmaster, this actual value is set to the ID of that relay and the relay is acting
as grandmaster in the network. The ID code is specified by PTP to be globally unique, so one can always know which clock
is grandmaster in a system with multiple grandmaster-capable clocks.
Accuracy — This is the estimated time error based on the clockAccuracy information embedded in the received time signal.
This actual value indicates the grandmaster clock accuracy. The clockAccuracy enumeration information received from
the grandmaster is translated into nanoseconds as specified in the following table. The value 999,999,999 indicates that
the magnitude of the estimated error is one second or more, or that the error cannot be estimated. The value 999,999,999
is used if the clockAccuracy received from grandmaster is in the ranges: 00 - 1F and 2F - FF. If the relay is the grandmaster,
the actual value indicates the estimated accuracy of the local clock and the same information is embedded in the
transmitted PTP messages. See defaultDS.clockQuality.clockAccuracy for more information.

This menu contains commands for relay maintenance purposes. Commands for the lamp test and order code are
activated by changing a command setting to “Yes” and pressing the ENTER key. The command setting then automatically
reverts to “No.” The service command is activated by entering a numerical code and pressing the ENTER key.
Not all commands display in the software; use the front panel when required.
PERFORM LAMP TEST — Turns on all front panel LEDs and display pixels for a short duration.
PERFORM LCD TEST — This command detects either stuck-ON or stuck-OFF pixels (dead pixels) in the display screen on the
graphical front panel. RED/GREEN/BLUE is to display the solid background color in the whole screen. WHITE & TEXT
PATTERN shows the white background and black texts. BLACK & TEXT PATTERN shows the black background and white
texts. TV TEST PATTERN displays a standard television test pattern (SMPTE color bars). The test screen can be canceled by
pressing any pushbutton or after 30 seconds of inactivity.
PERFORM PUSHBUTTON TEST — This command tests the pushbuttons on the graphical front panel. During testing, press the
corresponding pushbutton according to the prompt text. A failure message is given if the expected action is not detected
in one minute. Holding the ESCAPE button for five seconds to interrupt the test sequence. The designated function of a
specific pushbutton is bypassed in the test.
UPDATE ORDER CODE — Use this command to read and update the order code, for example when hardware modules have
been changed inside the relay. It causes the relay to scan the backplane for the modules and update the order code to
match. All settings are defaulted with an update. When an update occurs, the following message displays and the relay
restarts.
There is no impact if there have been no changes to the hardware modules. When an update does not occur, the ORDER
CODE NOT UPDATED message displays.
REBOOT RELAY — Restarts the relay so that changes to configuration settings can take effect. In most cases, if changes are
made to the configuration settings these changes do not take effect unless the relay is rebooted.
With the CyberSentry option, the Administrator and Operator roles can initiate the Reboot Relay command.
SERVICE COMMAND — Performs specific T35 service actions. Presently, there are two service actions available. Code "20511"
returns all settings to their factory default value and restarts the relay (then you re-enter IP address, restart, set unit to
"Programmed"). Code “101” is used to clear factory diagnostic information stored in the non-volatile memory. If a code
other than these two is entered, the command is ignored and no action is taken. Various self-checking diagnostics are
performed in the background while the T35 is running, and diagnostic information is stored on the non-volatile memory
from time to time based on the self-checking result. Although the diagnostic information is cleared before the T35 is
shipped from the factory, the user may want to clear the diagnostic information for themselves under certain
7 circumstances. For example, you clear diagnostic information after replacement of hardware. Once the diagnostic
information is cleared, all self-checking variables are reset to their initial state and diagnostics restart from scratch.
SAVE VOLATILE DATA — Saves this data to compact flash memory prior to shutdown. This allows the saved data to be as
recent as possible instead of relying on the periodic timer to save the data.
7.1.5 Security
COMMANDS SECURITY
SECURITY ADMINISTRATOR Range: Yes, No
LOGOFF: No
With the CyberSentry option, this setting is available to enable or disable the following commands.
ADMINISTRATOR LOGOFF — Selecting ‘Yes’ allows the Supervisor to forcefully logoff an administrator session.
ENGINEER LOGOFF — Selecting ‘Yes’ allows the Supervisor to forcefully logoff an engineer session.
OPERATOR LOGOFF — Selecting ‘Yes’ allows the Supervisor to forcefully logoff an operator session.
CLEAR SECURITY DATA — Selecting ‘Yes’ allows the Supervisor to forcefully clear all the security logs and clears all the
operands associated with the self-tests.
When INTERTURN FLT DET 1 AUTOSET MODE is selected as Manual, this command can be used to require new K-factors for
the Interturn Fault Detection element to be calculated by the relay and written to this function.
When applying this command and a "XFMR INTTURN 1 K-FACTOR RECALC FAIL" message displays, it means that the
update of K-factors is not applied, for example due to INTERTURN FLT DET 1 SUPV SRC voltage or current not satisfying the
supervisory conditions (see the logic diagram). As a result, update request should be tried another time. When successful,
a "XFMR INTTURN 1 K-FACTOR APPLIED" message displays and this command feature switches to 'No' itself.

A target enables the EnerVista UR Setup software to monitor automatically and display the status of any active target
messages of all the devices inserted into that site.
Each T35 element with a TARGET setting has a target message that when activated by its element is displayed in sequence
with any other currently active target messages in the TARGETS menu. In the example shown, the Phase TOC4 and Digital
Element 48 target settings are active and so have their targets displayed. And the Digital Counter 1 and Digital Counter 16
target settings are active (and none between the two) and so have their targets displayed. The down arrow below the two
elements indicates that there can be other active elements beyond these two.
For more information, see the description of target messages in the next section, and the Introduction to Elements section
in the Settings chapter for instructions on TARGET setting.
When no targets are active, the display reads NO ACTIVE TARGETS.
If a self test error is detected, a message appears indicating the cause of the error. For example UNIT NOT PROGRAMMED
indicates that the minimal relay settings have not been programmed.
7.2.2.1 Description
The relay performs a number of self-test diagnostic checks to ensure device integrity. The two types of self-tests (major
and minor) are listed in the following tables. When either type of error occurs, the Trouble LED Indicator turns on and a
target message displays. All errors record an event in the event recorder. Latched errors can be cleared by pressing the
RESET key, providing the condition is no longer present.
Major self-test errors also result in the following:
• The critical fail relay on the power supply module de-energizes
• All other output relays de-energize and are prevented from further operation
• The front panel In Service LED indicator turns off
• A RELAY OUT OF SERVICE event is recorded
To view error messages in EnerVista software:

These trip security elements use currents samples and phasors from the same sources as supervised protection elements
to detect independently true “fault” conditions from IOC or differential. Trip security elements do not have any user settings
and are enabled as soon as corresponding instantaneous elements are enabled. During laboratory testing, these elements
can be disabled by activating any IED test mode via the SETTINGS TESTING IED MODE CONFIG menu by setting IED
MODE to anything except “On.”
Trip security elements do not affect protection performance in any way.
Instantaneous Overcurrent
All enabled Phase IOC, Negative-Sequence, and Neutral IOCs in the active setting group are supervised by the trip security
element. The goals of the IOC trip security are as follows:
• Detect erroneous operate current due to wiring or data acquisition problem resulting in one phase current dropping to
zero, resulting in erroneous negative-sequence and neutral currents
• Justify current phasor magnitude increase with simultaneous current changes from samples
This is achieved by comparing current values of the current phasors and samples change with the values taken two cycles
before. Additionally, trip security elements monitor "pre-fault" current to detect if operate condition is happening as a
result of current decrease instead of increase.
The element is armed when there are no disturbances in currents for five cycles.

Instantaneous protection elements trip security can impact the testing of the overcurrent and differential elements.
Please refer to the Instantaneous Protection Elements Trip Security section in the Commands and Targets chapter
for more details on this subject and to Application note GET-20105A (UR Relays Percent Differential Element
Testing) for proper testing methods.
8.1.1 Description
The following commissioning tests are organized in two parts: general procedures for testing points of the differential-
restraint characteristics, and examples of the percent differential element response, based on different transformer
configurations and fault current distribution. The following tests can be performed by using either 2 or 3 individually
adjustable currents, and do not require additional specialized equipment.
8.1.1.1 Preparation
1. Select a 0° or 180° transformer phase shift and identical winding connection type into the relay.
2. Select the “Not Within Zone” setting value for each winding grounding setting.
3. Select and set the CT ratios for each winding.
4. Calculate the magnitude compensation factors M[1] and M[2] for each winding.
5. Enable the Transformer Percent Differential element, and enter the required test settings to shape the differential
restraint characteristic.
6. Connect the relay test set to inject x current (Ix) into the Winding 1 Phase A CT input, and y current (IY) into the Winding
2 Phase A CT input.
8.1.1.2 Testing
The tests of the differential restraint characteristic verify the minimum pickup point, the intersection point of Breakpoint 1
and Slope 1, and the intersection point of Breakpoint 2 and Slope 2.
For simplicity, enter the following settings for each winding:
SYSTEM SETUP TRANSFORMER WINDING 1(4) WINDING 1(4) CONNECTION: “Wye”
SYSTEM SETUP TRANSFORMER WINDING 1(4) WINDING 1(4) GROUNDING: “Not Within Zone”
SYSTEM SETUP TRANSFORMER WINDING 2(4) WINDING 2(4) ANGLE WRT WINDING 1: “0°”
If the power transformer phase shift is 0°, make the two currents to be injected to the relay 180° apart. This 180° phase
shift results from the inversion of the field CT, as their positive marks are away from the protected transformer terminals
and are connected to the positively marked terminals on the relay.
CT
I x = minimum pickup u ---------- Eq. 8-1
M[1]
where CT is the 1 A or 5 A tap, and M[1] is the calculated magnitude compensation factor (see the Transformer section in
Chapter 5 for details on calculating the M[1] and M[2] factors).
CT
I YB1 = Breakpoint 1 u ---------- Eq. 8-2
M[2]
2. At Breakpoint 1, the injected current IXOP1 is determined by:
CT
I XOP1 = Breakpoint 1 u 1 – Slope 1 u ---------- Eq. 8-3
M[1]
and the differential current is then equal to:
Id = Slope 1 (in %) x Breakpoint 1 (in pu) Eq. 8-4
3. Preset the Ix current to 1.05 x IXOP1. Switch on the test set. The relay should restraint, as the differential to restraint
ratio becomes less than the Slope 1 setting. Switch off the current.
4. Preset the Ix current to 0.95 x IXOP1. Switch on the test set. The relay operates. Switch off the current.
To test any other point from the Slope 1 section of the curve, inject a per-unit restraint current smaller than the Breakpoint
1 current and repeat the steps above by substituting the Breakpoint 1 value with the new per-unit restraint current value
into the equations.
CT
I YB2 = Breakpoint 2 u ---------- Eq. 8-5
M[2]
2. At the above current (restraint), the IXOP2 current required to operate the element is calculated as:
CT
I XOP2 = Breakpoint 2 u 1 – Slope 2 u ---------- Eq. 8-6
M[1]
3. Preset the Ix current to1.05 x IXOP1 and switch on the test set. The relay should restrain, as the differential to restraint
ratio becomes less than the Slope 2 setting. Switch off the current.
4. Preset the Ix current to 0.95 x IXOP1. Switch on the test set and verify relay operation. Switch off the current.
To test any point from the Slope 2 portion of the characteristic, inject a per-unit restraint current greater than the
Breakpoint 2 current as restraint and repeat the steps above by substituting the Breakpoint 2 value in the equations with
the new per-unit restraint current value.
The two tests can be repeated for Phases B and C.

Consider the above system, which illustrates the importance of CT orientation, polarity, and relay connection. These
factors also apply when performing the tests outlined in the next examples.
The transformer high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) side fault currents, and angles are all related. More specifically, the
HV and LV primary fault currents are displaced by 180°. The CT polarity marks point away from the protected zone and are
connected to the ~a terminals of the relay. The displayed current is what is reported by the relay.
The ~a and ~b terminal identifications are illustrative only. See the CT/VT Modules section in Chapter 3 for specific
terminal identification.
8 the HV winding CTs in series, and the second source to the Phase “b” and “c” relay terminals, corresponding to the LV CTs.
Ensure that the polarity is correct and the relative phase angles are similar to that shown in the figure, that is, 180°
between IB and IC, 180° between Ib and Ic, 180° between IB and Ib, and 180° between IC and Ic. Follow the magnitudes
and angles of the injected currents from the following tables to ensure that the test performs correctly.
• Minimum pickup
• Slope 1
• The region between Slope 1 and Slope 2
• Slope 2

From the Current Distribution diagram earlier, there is a 0.866 pu x 100.4 A/200 = 0.434 A secondary current for HV
phases B and C, and a 0.866 pu x 925.98 A/1000 = 0.8 A secondary current for LV phases b and c.
3. When test setup is correct, the relay displays the following differential and restraint currents, and the element does
not operate.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 0 ∠0° B 0.801 pu ∠–180°
C 0 ∠0° C 0.801 pu ∠0°
2. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 0.044 pu ∠0° B 0.275 pu ∠–180°
C 0.044 pu ∠0° C 0.275 pu ∠0°
The relay does not operate since Id is still lower that the 0.1 pu MINIMUM PICKUP setting.
3. Increase I1 to 0.2 A. The differential current increases to Id = 0.136 pu > Min PKP and Ir < 0.67 pu.
4. Verify that the Percent Differential element operates and the following are displayed in the actual values menu.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 0.136 ∠0° B 0.367 pu ∠–180°
C 0.136 ∠0° C 0.367 pu ∠0°
8 Inject current in such a manner that the magnitude of Ir is larger than the restraint current of 0.67 pu, corresponding to the
intersection of the minimum PKP and Slope 1 and smaller than the Breakpoint 1 setting; that is,
Ir(intersection of Min PKP and Slope 1) < Ir(actual) < Ir(Break 1) Eq. 8-9
2. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 0.113 pu ∠0° B 1 pu ∠–180°
C 0.113 pu ∠0° C 1 pu ∠0°
The Percent Differential element does not operate even though Id is larger than the Minimum Pickup, because Id is not
large enough to make the Id/Ir ratio larger than the Slope 1 setting of 15%. The actual ratio is 11.3%.
3. Adjust the I1 current as follows (thereby increasing Id) and verify that the element operates.
Winding 1 Winding 2

5. The actual Id/Ir ratio is now 17%. Verify that the element operates correctly.
Winding 1 Winding 2
Phase Single current (I1) Phase Single current (I2)
A 0 A ∠0° A 0 A ∠0°

2. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 1.287 pu ∠–180° B 3.5 pu ∠–180°
C 1.287 pu ∠0° C 3.5 pu ∠0°
The Id/Ir ratio is 36.77% and the Differential element does not operate because the actual Id = 1.287 pu is still too low
at Ir = 3.5 pu.
Due to the mathematical complexity involved in shaping the curve between Breakpoint 1 and Breakpoint 2, an
Excel-based simulation tool is available from the GE Grid Solutions website (look for the T35/T60 Percent Differential
Element Simulator in the support documents for the product). With this tool, you can see the preset Id/Ir curve point
ratios and the actual Id/Ir ratio as per the entered test currents. The tool graphically indicates differential and
restraint current magnitudes and indicates whether the relay operates.
3. In this example, a ratio of Id/Ir > 38% causes the element to trip. Decreasing I1 as shown in the table increases the
differential current Id, causing the element to operate.

4. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 1.471 pu ∠–180° B 3.5 pu ∠–180°
C 1.471 pu ∠0° C 3.5 pu ∠0°
2. Read the following differential and restraint current values from the T35 actual values menu.
Phase Differential current (Id) Phase Restraint current (Ir)
A 0 ∠0° A 0 ∠0°
B 8.078 pu ∠–180° B 9 pu ∠–180°
C 8.078 pu ∠0° C 9 pu ∠0°
8 Since Id/Ir = 89.8% and lower than the required 95%, the Percent Differential element does not operate.
3. Adjust the I1 current as follows (thereby increasing Id) and verify that the relay operates.

8.2.2.10 Summary
The tests described the principles of testing the differential element for all regions from the operating characteristic.
For verification of more points, consider adjusting the magnitude of the restraint current Ir to the required portion of the
characteristic and change the other current to vary Id until the relay operates. Use the Excel tool to compare the actual
and expected operating values.
A blank result table is provided at the end of this chapter for convenience.

Three adjustable currents are required in this case. The Phase A and C Wye-side line currents, identical in magnitude but
displaced by 180°, can be simulated with one current source passed through these relay terminals in series. The second
current source simulates the Phase B primary current. The third source simulates the delta “b” and “c” phase currents, also
equal in magnitude but displaced by 180°.

The second harmonic inhibit feature can be verified by setting the INRUSH INHIBIT MODE setting as follows.
For INRUSH INHIBIT MODE set to "2-out-of-3":
1. Set the INRUSH INHIBIT FUNCTION to "Trad. 2nd" and the INRUSH INHIBIT LEVEL to "20%".
2. Inject currents into one CT bank (one winding only) until the biased differential operates for all three phases.
3. Apply a second harmonic to Phase A higher than the set threshold and monitor operation of Phases A, B, and C. The 8
element needs to remain operating on all three phases.
4. Apply a second harmonic to Phase B with a level less than the set threshold.
5. Increase the second harmonic level in Phase B. When it passes the set threshold, all three phases of differential
protection need to drop out.
For INRUSH INHIBIT MODE set to "Average":
1. Set the INRUSH INHIBIT FUNCTION to "Trad. 2nd" and the INRUSH INHIBIT LEVEL to "20%".
2. Inject currents into one CT bank (one winding only) until the biased differential operates for all three phases.
3. Apply a second harmonic to Phase A with a level greater than the set threshold and monitor the operation of the
Percent Differential element. The element should drop out when the injected second harmonic level becomes three
times larger than the set threshold.
1. Connect the relay test set to inject current into the Winding 1 Phase A CT input.
2. Inject a current into the relay until the biased Differential element operates.
3. Confirm that ONLY the differential element has operated.
4. Increase the 5th harmonic content level until the element drops out. Record this value as the Overexcitation Inhibit
Level Pickup.
5. Gradually decrease the harmonic content level until the element picks up. Record this value as the Overexcitation
Inhibit Level Dropout.
6. Switch off the current.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for phases B and C.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for winding 2 (and windings 3 and 4 if necessary).

The CT saturation condition is declared by the saturation detector when the magnitude of the restraining signal becomes
larger than the higher breakpoint (BREAK 2) and at the same time the differential current is below the first slope (SLOPE 1)
and its extension. The said condition is of a transient nature and requires a seal-in. A special logic in the form of a “state
machine” is used for this purpose as depicted in the following figure on saturation detector state machine.
As the phasor estimator introduces a delay into the measurement process, the aforementioned saturation test fails to
detect CT saturation occurring very fast. In order to cope with very fast CT saturation, another condition is checked that
uses relations between the signals at the waveform level. The basic principle is similar to that described. Additionally, the
sample-based stage of the saturation detector uses the time derivative of the restraining signal (di/dt) to better trace the
saturation pattern shown in the following figure.
The saturation detector is capable of detecting saturation occurring in approximately 3 ms from fault inception. The
saturation detector, although having no dedicated settings, uses the main differential characteristic for proper operation.
This must be kept in mind when setting the characteristic as its parameters must retain their original meaning.
The operation of the saturation detector is available as the FlexLogic operand XFMR PCNT DIFF SAT A/B/C.

These equations are vector calculations. They assume a Wye connected VT. For Delta connected VTs, the corresponding
line voltages are used (VAB, VBC, and VCA).
To account for the above-mentioned steady state calculation condition, the algorithm applies a calculation blocking signal
when the supervising source voltages or currents in any of the phases undergo a major change. That is when the
difference between two cycle old and present time fundamental frequency phasor magnitudes reaches above 0.1 pu.
Furthermore, the transformer Percent Differential element's SAT flag (external faults), Second Harmonic Inhibit (Inrush
currents), Fifth Harmonic Inhibit (over-excitation), and Percent Differential element pickup operands do block K-factor
calculations and comparators.
An interturn fault involving fewer turns has negligible effect on system voltages. Compensated phase differential current
increases when an interturn fault takes place in a phase. The K-factors KA, KB, and KC calculated during steady state are
maintained through the evolving turn-to-turn fault and this consequently leads to detection of the turn-to-turn fault
condition.
Maintenance
This chapter outlines monitoring, maintenance, repair, storage, and disposal of the hardware and software.
10.1 Monitoring
Devices and data can be monitored.
The first row in the figure shows that Contact Output 1 operation is being monitored. Its Modbus address is CAFA. The
actual value read from the device is 0, which means that it is off.
The second row in the figure shows the Contact Output 1 Name. It has a Modbus address of CAF0 and a default value of
"Cont Op 1." None of Selection column settings render this value because they present the information based on
numbering systems.
Figure 10-2: Modbus Analyzer used to monitor actual values on a UR
Address (HEX) — Modbus address in hexadecimal. See the Modbus memory map in the UR Family Communications Guide
or in the web interface (enter IP address of UR device in a web browser). Convert the decimal address in the Modbus
memory map to hexadecimal.
Modbus Type
Actual Value — To read the data in the UR device
Setting — To read a setting in the UR device
Coil — To read a command in the UR device
# of — Element, input, or output to read. An example is 1 for Contact Output 1.
Selection (examples demonstrate various ways to represent 0)
Hex — A decimal numbering system based on 16 possible values, from 0 to 9 and A to F. An example is 0x0000.
Char — A single unicode character, such as C. An example is 0.
Int — A 32-bit number, either positive or negative. An example is 0.
UInt — Unsigned 32-bit integer, which means that it cannot be negative but can be twice as large as a signed integer. An
example is 0.
Long — A 64-bit number, either positive or negative. An example is 0.
ULong — Unsigned 64-bit number, which means that it cannot be negative but can be twice as large as a signed 64-bit
number. An example is 0.
Float — A numbering system with no fixed number of digits before or after the decimal point. An example is 0.000000.
Binary — A numbering system using 0 and 1. An example is 0000-0000-0000-0000.

GE recommends converting settings in firmware steps, for example when converting from 6.0 to 7.4x, convert first to
7.0 then 7.4 in order to follow embedded conversion rules and keep settings.
The settings convert and a report generates.
Figure 10-5: Upgrade settings
4. Review the conversion report. The values of all settings that have been defaulted during conversion are not listed in
the conversion report; to find the value of a setting before conversion, inspect the device backup file made before
conversion.
In the example shown here, settings have been reset to factory defaults and several settings are new in firmware
version 7.6 under Settings > System Setup > Switches and Breakers.
Figure 10-6: Conversion report
5. Change settings in the new file, for example by looking at the original file.
6. Write the converted file to the device, for example by dragging and dropping from the Offline Window to the Online
Window.
7. Check settings and operation.
10
2. For groups of settings, enable the Export Selected Settings option, then enable the check boxes of the options to
export. The example shows that FlexLogic equations are to be exported.
3. Click the OK button, and specify a file name in the window that opens. The format is XML. Click the button to start the
export, which takes a minute or two.

If prompted about a file being repaired, review the report. The path to the file displays, and otherwise it sits with the
URS, CID, and ICD files of the device with a file name of _Repair_Report.txt, such as B30 81x_Repair_Report.txt. The
example shows that some settings were added at default values. The explanation is that the EnerVista software was
updated, but the offline file predates the update.
Figure 10-8: Settings report
10
Figure 10-10: Device settings compared between two devices, displayed sequentially
There are two ways to compare devices: devices in the Offline area or between Online and Offline devices.
To compare settings of two devices in the Offline Window area:
1. Right-click a first device in the Offline Window area and select Compare Two Devices.
2. In the window that opens, select a second device and click the OK button. The file generates and the number of
differences displays.
Alternatively, in the window that opens, enter a path/file name at the bottom of the window; users can select either a
URS or a CID file. When selecting URS files users should be aware that for IEC 61850 order codes the information in a
URS data file is incomplete and therefore a comparison with an IEC 61850-enabled device will show many differences.
3. To save the report, click File > Save As, select the TXT, PDF, or CSV format from the drop-down list, and enter a name
for the file.
When the IEC 61850 option is present, the settings can be saved alternatively in a backup IID file either using the EnerVista
UR Setup software in online mode or by using any of the supported file transfer protocols. The IID file is one of several IEC
61850 Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file types; see the IEC 61850 chapter in the UR Series Communications
Guide for an introduction to SCL.
"TBD" displays when a setting in a modeled element is configured with a non-modeled operand. For example, Phase IOC is
modeled in a firmware release, while the LED operands are not modeled. If the block setting of the Phase IOC is configured
with LED operands, its displays as TBD in IID and CID files, the web interface, or in an MMS client.
The options that display in the EnerVista software when right-clicking depend on device options.
Preferences are set in the File > Preferences > IEC 61850 menu. There are two options as follows:
• Preserve custom attributes when importing SCD/CID files — Applies to the Add Device to Offline Window option.
When enabled, the IID file also is to be copied to the computer. The IID file that is retrieved from the relay is therefore
assumed to be in synchronization with the resulting .urs file, and in fact in this situation the IID file on the computer is
a copy of the IID file that was read from the online device. When disabled, the IID file on the computer is to be left
unchanged. The location of the IID file is C:\ProgramData\GE Power Management\urpc\Offline, for example.
• Do not update IID file when updating SCL files — When enabled (default), an IID file is not to be created on the
computer and if one is already present there, it is neither removed nor updated. Have this option enabled when you
want to keep the IID file from the UR device instead of from another tool. The location of the file is C:\ProgramData\GE
Power Management\urpc\Offline, for example.
An Environment backup stores a list of sites and devices in the Online and Offline Window areas. Settings files are not
contained within the environment file. If a settings file is moved, renamed, or deleted after the backup, it is removed from
the Offline Window during the restore.
To create a new settings file in the URS format in EnerVista Offline Window:
1. In EnerVista, right-click in the Offline Window area and select New Device. A window opens.
2. Change the file name at the end of the Path field, keeping the .urs extension.
3. From the Associate File with Device drop-down list, select the UR device. Other fields complete automatically.
Otherwise, when you do not select a device from the drop-down list, all fields need to be completed manually and
only devices that match the entered order code and version display in the list.
4. The Serial # Lock field is the serial number of the intended device. It ensures that the settings file is sent only to the
specific relay that matches the serial number.
5. Click the OK button to create the .urs file in the Offline Window area.
10 2. Select the Create IID File option for firmware below 7.3. The option is not always available. Select the Save As option
for firmware 7.3 and later, and select the IID option from drop-down list.
No file is generated. The IID file on the computer is copied to the location specified.
3. If the Do not update IID file when updating SCL files preference is enabled under File > Preferences > IEC 61850,
then a message displays to that effect. This means that there is no IID file available on the computer to be copied, so
a new one is generated.
10
3. Two prompts are possible, first that the URS file does not include the complete IEC 61850 configuration and that it
needs to be recreated if you continue. This means that the URS file is from UR version 7.30 or higher, has the IEC 61850
software option in the order code, but any IEC 61850 content will be compromised and will need to be configured.
Second, a message can display that the URS file is part of a device folder and to use the device’s CID file. This means
that the URS file is from UR version 7.3 or higher, has the IEC 61850 software option in the order code, and is part of the
device folder. The user is trying to add a URS file from inside a device’s folder. Instead, the user needs to use the CID file
from the device folder.
10 These messages display because the roles of the protection engineer and network engineer can be separate. The
former can require a URS file, while the latter can require stored Modbus settings and protection schemes.
4. Navigate to and select the file with .cid extension. When prompted, enter a file name to give to an intermediate URS
file. The URS file is added to the Offline Window area.
5. Drag the imported file in the Offline Window to the device in the Online Window. Note that the RELAY SETTINGS value
also is written to a device, and the accepting relay is put into "Programmed" or "Not Programmed" mode as
configured in the offline file.
6. Manually copy the remaining settings, outlined as follows.
10
The silent installation is not truly silent because it invokes the user interface. The installation is silent at step 5. Double-
clicking on the .exe file for installation is faster.
To install the software silently:
1. Uninstall any existing EnerVista UR Setup software.
2. In a command line window, run the executable file, such as entering URPC810.exe -r
3. Follow the prompts to install the software using the wizard. The action creates a setup.iss file in the C:\WINNT,
C:\Windows\Setup, or other folder that records user inputs.
4. Copy the .exe and .iss files to the same folder.
5. In a command line window, enter URPC810.exe /s, where URPC810.exe is the executable file name. The software
installs and generates a setup.log file in the same folder. A result code of "0" at the end the log file means that the
installation succeeded.
When updating the boot file, ensure that power is not lost, else the relay must be returned to the
factory for repair.
To update the firmware, select the firmware update by locating the .SFD file, and proceed with the update.
EnerVista software only enables users to upgrade the firmware in the relay after validating the source of the SFD file
and its authenticity, by verifying the digital signature included in the file before sending it to the relay. If the digital
signature validation fails, the firmware upgrade process is aborted. If the digital signature validation succeeds,
EnerVista proceeds with the firmware upgrade. The relay records the outcome of the signature validation in the
security events.
When asked if upgrading over the Internet, the difference is the flash memory buffer size each time the software
sends data to the relay. Yes means that the flash memory buffer size is 256 bytes. No means that it is 1024 bytes,
which is faster.
If a warning message displays about the firmware not being supported by the EnerVista software, it means that the
firmware is a later version than the software. Upgrade the software to the same or later version as the firmware, then
try again.
If an "Unable to put relay in flash mode" message displays, set the Settings > Product Setup > Security > Dual
Permission Security Access > Remote Setting Authorized and Local Setting Authorized settings to "ON" and try
again.
When the update is finished, the relay restarts automatically. The upgrade process takes about 20 minutes when
using a graphical front panel because of writing to the front panel.
6. Restart the EnerVista software, and refresh the order code in EnerVista under the Device Setup button.
7. Verify the boot and firmware version while the device is starting up or in EnerVista under Actual Values > Product Info
> Firmware Revisions. The Revision is the firmware version, for example, revision 8.20 is UR firmware release 8.20.
The Boot Program Revision is the bootloader release.
10
8. Set the device to "programmed" under Settings > Product Setup > Installation. A self-test error displays on the device
until this is done.
9. If you changed the Remote Setting Authorized, the Local Setting Authorized settings, or relay lock settings, return
them to their previous settings.
10. If you changed the Lock Firmware setting, enable it again.
11. To apply any previously saved settings, right-click the saved settings file in the Offline Window area and select Write
to Device. Optionally convert the saved settings to the new firmware version before writing to the device by right-
clicking and selecting Convert Device Settings.
The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) can be upgraded under Maintenance > Update FPGA when the device
is connected via serial cable and the firmware revision is 7.0 or higher.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (that is, default
values, minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) can change slightly from version to version of
firmware. The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or
modified. The EEPROM DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable,
self-test message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware.
This message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.
Withdraw or insert a module only when control power has been removed from the unit, and be
sure to insert only the correct module type into a slot, else personal injury, damage to the unit or
connected equipment, or undesired operation can result.
To avoid damage to the equipment, use proper electrostatic discharge protection (for example, a
static strap) when coming in contact with modules while the relay is energized.
The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Replace modules only with like
modules in their original factory configured slots.
Two procedures follow: replace a module with the same module, and upgrade a module.
To replace a module with the same module:
1. Open the enhanced front panel to the left once the thumb screw has been removed. This allows for easy access of the
modules for withdrawal. The new wide-angle hinge assembly in the enhanced front panel opens completely and
allows easy access to all modules in the T35.
10
Figure 10-15: Modules inside relay with front cover open (enhanced front panel)
The basic front panel can be opened to the left once the black plastic sliding latch on the right side has been pushed
up, as shown below.
Figure 10-16: Removing module (basic front panel)
2. With power to the unit off, disconnect individually the connections at the front and back of the module before
removing the module from the chassis.
For any Process Bus Module in slot H for use with a HardFiber Brick, also remove the two screws at the back that
attach the module to the chassis.
3. To properly remove a module, pull simultaneously the ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of the
module. Record the original location of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the
correct slot. While modules with current input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits, for CT/VT modules it
is recommended to short/isolate external circuits accordingly for maximum safety.
4. To properly insert a module, ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/
inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module
is smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips
simultaneously. When the clips have locked into position, the module is fully inserted.
When adding a module (versus replacing a module), check that settings have not changed. Depending on the
module, settings can reset to default values.
10
The new CT/VT modules can only be used with new CPUs; similarly, old CT/VT modules can only be used with old
CPUs. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module, the relay does not function and a
DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error displays.
An upgrade example is replacing the CPU module with a more recent one, such as swapping 9G/9H/9N with 9T/9U/9V/9W.
A power supply module upgrade does not affect an order code.
To upgrade a module:
1. Back up settings by sending the device to the Offline Window area. Convert the settings to the new order code by
right-clicking in the Offline Window area. Replace the module as outlined in the previous procedure. In the Online
Window area, reset all settings to factory defaults and read the new order code from the device using Commands >
Relay Maintenance > Update Order Code. Send the saved settings from the Offline Window area to the online device.
Refresh the order code in the Device Setup window and set the device to "Programmed" under Settings > Product
Setup > Installation.
10.12 Battery
For the SH and SL models and earlier, a battery provides backup power for the real-time clock. The TH model does not
contain a battery, it uses a supercapacitor to provide backup power for the relay's real time clock.
For the SH and SL models, the battery can be replaced when required. The battery type is 3 V cylindrical. For the TH model,
no maintenance is required.
Note: The power supply modules were upgraded in 2014 from RH/RL to SH/SL. However, the order code when purchasing
a UR with redundant power supply remained as RH/RL so that customers can continue to use the same order codes. The
order code can read RH or RL, while the module inside the unit reads SH, SL or TH. The order code remains RH for power
supplies RH/SH/TH and RL for power supplies RL/SL.
This does not apply to replacement modules. The order code for replacement redundant power supply modules is SH, SL or
TH
To avoid injury, ensure that the unit has been powered off for a minimum of three minutes before
replacing the battery.
Risk of fire if battery is replaced with incorrect type or polarity.
1. Turn off the power to the unit.
2. Wait a minimum of three minutes to ensure that there is no power to the battery.
3. As outlined in the previous section, open the unit by sliding up the plastic latch on the right side of the front panel
(basic front panel) or unscrewing the panel (enhanced front panel).
4. For the basic front panel, it needs to be removed in order to access the power supply module, which is typically in the
first slot on the left side and blocked by the hinge of the front panel. To remove the front panel, unscrew the bracket on
the left side of the unit.
5. Remove the power supply module by simultaneously pulling the ejector clips at the top and bottom of the module and
sliding it out.
6. Unscrew all four screws (not three) that attach the metal cover to the module. The fourth screw is at the back end of
the module, on the opposite side from the clips, beside the white electronics part (see figure).
7. Slide the metal cover away from the clips about 0.5 cm (1/8 inch) and remove the cover.
8. Unclip the black plastic holder that keeps the battery in place. The plastic clips into the socket at the bottom on both
sides—pull the plastic away from the battery. Use a flat-head screwdriver if you cannot unclip the plastic with your
fingers.

10.14 Repairs
The battery and modules inside the case can be replaced without return of the device to the factory. The firmware and
software can be upgraded without return of the device to the factory.
Fuses in the power supply module are not field-replaceable.
Files can be requested for use by technical support staff, for example the Service Report or under Maintenance > Retrieve
File, as outlined elsewhere in this document.
For issues not solved by troubleshooting, the process to return the device to the factory for repair is as follows:
• Contact a GE Grid Solutions Technical Support Center. Contact information is found in the first chapter.
• Obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number from the Technical Support Center.
• Verify that the RMA and Commercial Invoice received have the correct information.
• Tightly pack the unit in a box with bubble wrap, foam material, or styrofoam inserts or packaging peanuts to cushion
the item(s). You may also use double boxing whereby you place the box in a larger box that contains at least 5 cm of
cushioning material.
• Ship the unit by courier or freight forwarder, along with the Commercial Invoice and RMA, to the factory.

ATTN: SERVICE DEPT.
RMA# : ______________
Customers are responsible for shipping costs to the factory, regardless of whether the unit is under warranty.
• Fax a copy of the shipping information to the GE Grid Solutions service department in Canada at +1 905 927 5098.
Use the detailed return procedure outlined at
https://www.gegridsolutions.com/multilin/support/ret_proc.htm
The current warranty and return information are outlined at
https://www.gegridsolutions.com/multilin/warranty.htm
10.15 Storage
Store the unit indoors in a cool, dry place. If possible, store in the original packaging. Follow the storage temperature range
outlined in the Specifications.
To avoid deterioration of electrolytic capacitors, power up units that are stored in a de-energized
10 state once per year, for one hour continuously.
10.16 Disposal
Other than the battery, there are no special requirements for disposal of the unit at the end its service life. For customers
located in the European Union, dispose of the battery as outlined earlier. To prevent non-intended use of the unit, remove
the modules as outlined earlier, dismantle the unit, and recycle the metal when possible. See the UR Family Recycling and
Disposal Instructions (GET-20096).

6. In the dictionary file in the <Path_to_Radius>\etc\raddb folder, add the following line.
$INCLUDE dictionary.ge
For example, the file can look like the following:
$INCLUDE ../share/freeradius/dictionary
$INCLUDE dictionary.ge
7. For the first start, run the RADIUS server in debug mode to ensure that there are no compiling errors.
<Path_to_Radius>/start_radiusd_debug.bat
8. Set up the RADIUS parameters on the UR as follows.
8.1. If logging in, select Device for the Authentication Type, and use Administrator for the User Name. The default
password is "ChangeMe1#".
8.2. Access Settings > Product Setup > Security. Configure the IP address (10.14.61.122 in this example) and ports
(default values in this example) for the RADIUS server. Leave the GE vendor ID field at the default of 2910.
Update the RADIUS shared secret (Testing!123 in this example) as specified in the clients.conf file. Restart the
relay for the IP address and port changes to take effect.
9. Verify operation. Log in to the UR software as follows. In the login window, select Server as the Authentication Type,
enter the user name entered (for example user name Tester and password "TesterPw1#"). Check that the RADIUS
server log file shows the access with an "Access-Accept" entry.
SetupCLI -h
Display help.
It displays the content outline here.
SetupCLI <Application> login -d <device> [-A <authentication type>] [-a <account>] -w <password> [-s]
Authenticate with device <device> using password <password>.
For non-CyberSentry devices — Set <authentication type> to "traditional". Note that <authentication type> defaults to
"traditional" if not specified. Set <account> to "COMMANDS" or "SETTINGS". If not specified, the SETTINGS account is
used.
Example: SetupCLI URPC login -d "C30 Melbourne" -A traditional -a SETTINGS -w 1password1
Example of a batch file that checks for an error (this batch file uses standard batch file operations to check the return
code (ERRORLEVEL) and jump to an error handler):
SetupCLI URPC start
SetupCLI URPC login -d demoDevice -a SETTINGS -w WrongPassword -A traditional
IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO FAILED
SetupCLI URPC putsettings -d demoDevice -f "example file.urs"
SetupCLI URPC inservice -d demoDevice
SetupCLI URPC reboot -d demoDevice
SetupCLI URPC exit
exit
:FAILED
echo Please try again C
exit
For CyberSentry devices with local authentication — Set <authentication type> to "local". Set <account> to
"Supervisor", "Administrator", "Engineer", "Operator", or "Observer".
For CyberSentry devices with RADIUS authentication — Set <authentication type> to "radius". Set <account> to the
user's account on the RADIUS server.
The device is named as DEV@SETUP_CLI, which is used as the device name required by the <device> parameter of other
SetupCLI commands.
The device name DEV@SETUP_CLI is always assigned to the device that is connected most recently by performing
'adddevice' command. It means that the Application only keeps up to one device named as DEV@SETUP_CLI, the
'adddevice' command disconnects/deletes the device DEV@SETUP _CLI that was connected previously by performing
'adddevice' command.
The device name DEV@SETUP_CLI is never used to configure/connect to a device through the graphical user interface.
Example of a batch file using a device IP address to retrieve its settings file:
SetupCLI URPC start
SetupCLI URPC adddevice -I 192.168.140.113 -S 113 -P 502
SetupCLI URPC getsettings -d DEV@SETUP_CLI -f C:\example.urs
SetupCLI URPC exit
After connecting the device using IP address, the device name DEV@SETUP_CLI is used to identify this device in
'getsettings' command.
Example of a batch file using a device IP address to retrieve a settings file when RADIUS authentication is required: C
SetupCLI URPC start
SetupCLI URPC adddevice -I 192.168.140.113 -S 113 -P 502
SetupCLI URPC login -d DEV@SETUP_CLI -a %1 -w %2 -A radius
SetupCLI URPC getsettings -d DEV@SETUP_CLI -f "example file.urs"
SetupCLI URPC logout -d DEV@SETUP_CLI
SetupCLI URPC exit
DEV@SETUP_CLI has to be used as the device name in the commands followed by the 'adddevice' command.
