RTAC R151 Tech Note
With the addition of firmware version R151-V0 to the RTAC product line, the
following are some notes and additional comments about new additions or
changes in the firmware. These items are compiled from the release notes found
in Appendix A: Firmware and Manual Versions of the ACSELERATOR RTAC®
SEL-5033 Software Instruction Manual. Please note that this document does not
discuss each release note, but rather just those with additional context or conver-
sation points. This information can also be found in the SEL-5033 instruction
manual in the appropriate sections for the new or modified behavior.
Some new features or enhancements to existing features in R151-V0 include the
following:
➤ Added support for 3U SEL-3350 automation controller hardware.
➤ Added OPC UA client protocol.
➤ Enhanced the Connected IED tools in the web interface to add an
online protocol dissector for debugging serial or Ethernet communi-
cations to client and server devices.
➤ Enhanced the Sequence of Events log to store 500,000 records.
➤ Enhancements to the Check IED configuration functionality pro-
vided by SEL protocol clients and servers.
➤ Increased the Recording Group custom channel limit from 128 to
512 BOOL quantities.
➤ Improved the frequency tracking step response performance on
voltage input startup for SEL-2245-42 AC protection modules.
➤ [Cybersecurity Enhancement] Support for a Restricted BIOS with a
reduced set of functionality that provides an enhanced security
posture.
➤ [Cybersecurity Enhancement] Removed support for TLSv1.1 for
SSL/TLS connections established by protocols, HTTPS connections
to the web interface, and connections on TCP port 5432.
A collection of IEC 61850 enhancements is also included with R151-V0,
including the following changes:
➤ Added support for functional naming for MMS client and GOOSE
receive.
➤ Added support for LGOS logical nodes for GOOSE receive
messages.
➤ Enhanced MMS client to support collection of DPL, LPL, and VSS
common data classes.
➤ Enhanced MMS client to support the set point functional constraint
for common data classes CUG, ENG, ING, ORG, SPG, and TSG.
➤ Enhanced MMS server to support the set point functional constraint
for common data classes ASG, CUG, ENG, ING, ORG, SPG, and
TSG.
➤ Enhanced MMS server to support LTIM and LTMS logical nodes.
➤ Enhanced MMS server to support local-remote functionality.
➤ Enhanced GOOSE to support simulation mode.
➤ SEL
➤ IEC 60870-5-101/104
➤ IEEE C37.118 Synchrophasors

The interface allows for application of display filters (matching the same syntax
used by Wireshark) as well as facilities to start and stop the capture and to down-
load a pcap file of the traffic for offline troubleshooting.
tional note with the Restricted BIOS is that it contains no user settings and cannot
be entered by an end user via a key press at startup. Version 12.5.49152.263 is the
updated version for the SEL-3555-2/SEL-3560-2 and version 11.2.49152.142 is
the update for the SEL-3350.
and the publishing device has functionally named data, the functional
name will be used in the ACSELERATOR RTAC. If the publishing
device does not have functionally named data, product naming will
be used instead of the index-based naming used prior to R151. Func-
tional naming is disabled by default in CID class file version 8.
