1.3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Multilin 869 is a microprocessor-based device intended for the management and primary protection of medium
and large sized induction and synchronous motors. Base relay models provide thermal overload and overcurrent
protection plus a number of current and voltage based backup functions.
6 1601-0450
1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE 8 SERIES

Each relay provides protection, control, and monitoring functions with both local and remote human interfaces. They
also display the present trip/alarm conditions, and most of the more than 35 measured system parameters.
Recording of past trip, alarm or control events, maximum demand levels, and energy consumption is also
performed.
To meet diverse utility standards and industry requirements, you can program these relays to meet specific
requirements. This flexibility will naturally make a piece of equipment difficult to learn. To aid new users in getting
basic protection operating quickly, setpoints are set to typical default values and advanced features are disabled.
You can reprogram these settings any time.
It is possible for you to program these relays using the front panel keys and display. However, due to the numerous
settings, this manual method can be laborious. To simplify programming and provide a more intuitive interface, you
can enter setpoints with a PC running the EnerVista D&I Setup software. Even with minimal computer knowledge,
this menu-driven software provides easy access to all front panel functions. Actual values and setpoints can be
displayed, altered, stored, and printed. If settings are stored in a setpoint file, they can be downloaded at any time to
the front panel program port of the relay via a computer cable connected to the USB port of any personal computer.
CPU
Relay functions are controlled by two processors: a Freescale MPC5125 32-bit microprocessor that measures all
analog signals and digital inputs and controls all output relays, and a Freescale MPC8358 32-bit microprocessor
that controls all the advanced Ethernet communication protocols.
Analog Input and Waveform Capture

Magnetic transformers are used to scale-down the incoming analog signals from the source instrument
transformers. The analog signals are then passed through a 11.5 kHz low pass analog anti-aliasing filter. All signals
are then simultaneously captured by sample and hold buffers to ensure there are no phase shifts. The signals are
converted to digital values by a 16-bit A/D converter before finally being passed on to the CPU for analysis.
The raw samples are scaled in software, then placed into the waveform capture buffer, thus emulating a fault
recorder. The waveforms can be retrieved from the relay via the software for display and diagnostics.
Frequency
Frequency measurement is accomplished by measuring the time between zero crossings of the composite signal of
three-phase bus voltages, line voltage or three-phase currents. The signals are passed through a low pass filter to
prevent false zero crossings. Frequency tracking utilizes the measured frequency to set the sampling rate for
current and voltage which results in better accuracy for the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) algorithm for off-
nominal frequencies.
The main frequency tracking source uses three-phase bus voltages. The frequency tracking is switched
automatically by an algorithm to the alternative reference source, i.e., three-phase currents signal or line voltage for
the configuration of tie-breaker, if the frequency detected from the three-phase voltage inputs is declared invalid.
The switching will not be performed if the frequency from the alternative reference signal is detected invalid. Upon
detecting valid frequency on the main source, the tracking will be switched back to the main source. If a stable
frequency signal is not available from all sources, then the tracking frequency defaults to the nominal system
frequency.
1601-0450 7
Phasors, Transients, and Harmonics

All waveforms are processed eight times every cycle with a DC decaying removal filter and a DFT. The resulting
phasors have fault current transients and all harmonics removed. This results in an overcurrent relay that is
extremely secure and reliable and one that will not overreach.
Processing of AC Current Inputs

The DC Decaying Removal Filter is a short window digital filter, which removes the DC decaying component from
the asymmetrical current present at the moment a fault occurs. This is done for all current signals used for
overcurrent protection; voltage signals use the same DC Decaying Removal Filter. This filter ensures no overreach
of the overcurrent protection.
The DFT uses exactly one cycle of samples to calculate a phasor quantity which represents the signal at the
fundamental frequency; all harmonic components are removed. All subsequent calculations (e.g. power, etc.) are
based upon the current and voltage phasors, such that the resulting values have no harmonic components. RMS
(root mean square) values are calculated from one cycle of samples prior to filtering.
Protection Elements
All voltage, current and frequency protection elements are processed eight times every cycle to determine if a
pickup has occurred or a timer has expired. The voltage and current protection elements use RMS current/voltage,
or the magnitude of the phasor.

1.6 SECURITY OVERVIEW

The following security features are available:
BASIC SECURITY
The basic security feature is present in the default offering of the relay. The relay introduces the notion of roles for
different levels of authority. Roles are used as login names with associated passwords stored on the device. The
following roles are available at present: Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Factory and Viewer, with a fixed
permission structure for each one. Note that the Factory role is not available for users, but strictly used in the
manufacturing process.
The relay can still use the SETPOINT ACCESS switch feature, but enabling the feature can be done only by an
Administrator. Setpoint access is controlled by a keyed switch to offer some minimal notion of security.
CYBERSENTRY
The CyberSentry Embedded Security feature is a software option that provides advanced security services. When
the software option is purchased, the Basic Security is automatically disabled.
CyberSentry provides security through the following features:
● An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
client that is centrally managed, enables user attribution, and uses secure standards based strong
cryptography for authentication and credential protection.
● A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to device
operations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on the AAA
server. At present the defined roles are: Administrator, Engineer, Operator and Viewer.
● Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the EnerVista software and
devices using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in
Galois Counter Mode (GCM) as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH
and approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2 standards for
cryptographic systems.
● Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security Information Event Management
(SIEM) systems for centralized cyber security monitoring.
There are two types of authentication supported by CyberSentry that can be used to access the device:
● Device Authentication – in which case the authentication is performed on the device itself, using the
predefined roles as users (No RADIUS involvement).
○ Device authentication using local roles may be done either from the front panel or through EnerVista.
● Server Authentication - in which case the authentication is done on a RADIUS server, using individual user
accounts defined on the server. When the user accounts are created, they are assigned to one of the
predefined roles recognized by the relay.
○ Device authentication using RADIUS server may be done only through EnerVista.
Note:
USB does not currently support CyberSentry security.
EnerVista Viewpoint Monitor does not currently support CyberSentry security.
With the CyberSentry security option, many communication settings cannot be changed remotely. All communication settings
can still be changed through the relay front panel.
12 1601-0450
When both device and server authentication are enabled, the relay automatically directs authentication requests to
the device or the respective RADIUS server, based on user names. If the user ID credential does not match one of
the device local accounts, the relay automatically forwards the request to a RADIUS server when one is provided. If
a RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, server authentication requests are denied. In
this situation, use local device accounts to gain access to the system.
USER ROLES
User Access Levels are used to grant varying permissions to specific user roles. User roles are used by both Basic
Security and CyberSentry.
The following user roles are supported:
● Administrator: The Administrator role has complete read and write access to all settings and commands.
The role does not allow concurrent access. The Administrator role also has an operand to indicate when it is
logged on.
● Engineer: This role has similar rights to the Administrator role, except that some commands, the security
settings modification and firmware upload are not allowed.
● Operator: The Operator role is present to facilitate operational actions that may be programmed and
assigned to buttons on the front panel. The Operator has read/write access to all settings under the
command menu/section. The Operator can also use the Virtual Input command under the control menu/
section. The Operator can view settings from EnerVista or the front panel but does not have the ability to
change any settings. This role is not a concurrent role.
● Viewer: The Viewer role has read-only access to all 8 Series 869 settings. This role allows concurrent
access. The Viewer is the default role if no authentication has been done to the device. This role can
download settings files and records from the device.
● Factory: This is an internal non-user accessible role used for manufacturing diagnostics. The ability to enable
or disable this role is a security setting that the Administrator controls.
GENERAL RULES FOR USER ROLES WITH CYBERSENTRY

1. The only concurrent role is Observer. If the user is logged in through serial, front panel, or over the network,
that counts as the role being logged in for concurrency reasons.
2. Both EnerVista and the front panel provide a one-step logoff. For the front panel, the root menu has a logoff
command. From EnerVista right-clicking on a device and providing a logoff function from the context menu is
sufficient.
3. The EnerVista Login Screen has User Name: and Password: fields for the default remote (Radius)
authentication, but when a Local Authentication checkbox is selected the User Name: field changes to a
drop down menu where the user can select one of the predefined roles.

1.9 MUST-READ INFORMATION

The following general statements apply and are repeated in the relevant sections of the manual.
● Before upgrading firmware, it is very important to save the current settings to a file on your PC. After the
firmware has been upgraded, it is necessary to load this file back into the device.
● The SNTP and IRIG-B settings take effect after rebooting the relay.
● Commands may be issued freely through other protocols than Modbus (i.e., DNP, IEC 104, and, IEC 61850)
without user authentication or encryption of data taking place, even if the relay has the advanced security
feature enabled.
● Note that the factory role password may not be changed.
● Both DNP and IEC104 protocols can work at the same time, but consider that there is only one point map.
So, both protocols use the same configured points.
● The 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.
● The Phase Directional element responds to the forward load current. In the case of a following reverse fault,
the element needs some time – in the order of 8 ms – to change the directional signal. Some protection
elements such as Instantaneous Overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the directional signal has
changed. A coordination time of at least 10 ms must therefore be added to all the instantaneous protection
elements under the supervision of the Phase Directional element. If current reversal is a concern, a longer
delay – in the order of 20 ms – is needed.
● The same curves used for the time overcurrent elements are used for Neutral Displacement. When using the
curve to determine the operating time of the Neutral Displacement element, substitute the ratio of neutral
voltage to Pickup level for the current ratio shown on the horizontal axis of the curve plot.
● The relay is not approved as, or intended to be, a revenue metering instrument. If used in a peak load control
system, consider the accuracy rating and method of measurement employed, and the source VTs and CTs, in
comparison with the electrical utility revenue metering system.
● In bulk oil circuit breakers, the interrupting time for currents is less than 25% of the interrupting rating and can
be significantly longer than the normal interrupting time.
● For future reference, make a printout of the conversion report immediately after the conversion in case
conversion reports are removed or settings modified from the 8 Series Setup Software.
● If the 3-phase VT uses a delta connection and FREQUENCY INPUT is set to J2-3VT, the positive sequence
voltage is used as the supervision voltage. In such conditions, the true supervision level is internally changed
to 1/Ö3 of the user setting since the base of VT here is the phase-phase voltage. (869, 889 only)
● To monitor the trip coil circuit integrity, use the relay terminals “FA_1 NO” and “FA_1 COM” to connect the Trip
coil, and provide a jumper between terminals “FA_1 COM” and “FA_1 OPT/V” voltage monitor).
● WiFi and USB do not currently support CyberSentry security. For this reason WiFi is disabled by default if the
CyberSentry option is purchased. WiFi can be enabled, but be aware that doing so violates the security and
compliance model that CyberSentry is supposed to provide.
● In Power factor monitoring, SWITCH-IN and SWITCH-OUT are mutually exclusive settings. (845, 850)
1.9.1 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.
If applicable, use the factory-provided dust caps on all Arc Flash sensor fiber and connectors when not in use, to
avoid dust contamination in the transceiver and sensor plugs.

2.10 ARC FLASH SENSOR

The Arc Flash sensor houses the fiber optics and membrane that are used to detect the arc flash. Two mounting
screw holes are provided to affix the sensors to the panel.
Caution:
If the Arc Flash Protection is used, operands for Arc Flash sensor failures must be
assigned to an auxiliary output relay. This must be connected to the control logic of
the breaker equipment to ensure safe operations when the output relay is asserted.
In the event of this assertion, the Hazard Reduction Category code cannot be
maintained unless backup protection is continuing to maintain it.
Caution:
Arc Flash sensor fiber is pressure sensitive and must be handled carefully to avoid
damage. Read the following guidelines fully before proceeding.
Take care when handling the Arc Flash sensor fiber.

● Do not bend the sensor fiber sharply (with a radius of less than 25 mm (1 inch)). Sharp bends can damage
the fiber. Do not pull or tug loops of sensor fiber, as sharp bends may result.
● Do not clamp the sensor fiber tightly during installation. The sensor fiber should be held in place loosely for
the best long-term performance. Avoid over-tightening ties which may deform or break the sensor fiber.
● Do not pull or tug sensor fiber with force, as this may cause internal damage or separate the fiber from the
cable connector.
● Do not twist the sensor fiber, as twisting can damage the fiber resulting in substandard performance.
● Do not attach sensor fiber directly to the bus.
● Avoid surface temperatures above 70°C or 158°F to prolong the life of the fiber.
● Secure all sensor fibers (loosely but securely) away from any moving parts.
● Use the factory-provided dust caps on all Arc Flash sensor fiber and connectors when not in use, to avoid
dust contamination in the transceiver and sensor plugs.

Figure 20: AF Sensor - dimensions of sensor tip
Note:
The sensor fiber should be secured loosely for the best long-term performance. Avoid over-tightening ties which may deform
or break the sensor fiber.
Before installing the AF sensor unit, ensure that all other drilling and installation is complete to minimize possible
damage to the sensitive unit.
1601-0450 43
To install the AF sensor and route the sensor fiber, follow these steps:
1. Choose a location for the sensor clear of any obstructions that could shield the sensor from arc flash light.
2. Mount the sensor securely, using the mounting screw holes.
3. Once the sensor is securely mounted, carefully route the sensor fiber from the AFS sensor to the base unit,
minimizing loops and curves for the strongest possible signal.
4. Secure all sensor fibers (loosely but securely) away from any moving parts.
Note:
Both the AF sensor connections (CH 1 through CH 4) and the sensor cables are shipped with dust caps in place to avoid dust
contamination. The small rubber dust caps must be removed before operation.

2.14 RMIO MODULE INSTALLATION

The optional remote module (RMIO) is designed to be mounted near the motor. This eliminates the need for
multiple RTD cables to run back from the motor, which may be in a remote location, to the switchgear.
Although the RMIO is internally shielded to minimize noise pickup and interference, it should be mounted away from
high current conductors or sources of strong magnetic fields.

2.15 PHASE SEQUENCE AND TRANSFORMER POLARITY

For correct operation of the relay features, follow the instrument transformer polarities, shown in the wiring
diagrams. Note the solid square markings that are shown with all instrument transformer connections. When the
connections adhere to the drawing, the arrow shows the direction of power flow for positive watts and the positive
direction of lagging vars. The phase sequence is user programmable for either ABC or ACB rotation.
Depending on order code, the relay can have up to four (4) current inputs in each J slot and K slot. Three of them
are used for connecting to the phase CT phases A, B, and C. The fourth input is a ground input that can be
connected to either a ground CT placed on the neutral from a Wye connected transformer winding, or to a donut
type CT measuring the zero sequence current from a grounded system. The relay CTs are placed in a packet
mounted to the chassis of the relay. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current
transformers with 1 to 12000 A primaries may be used.
Caution:
Verify that the relay’s nominal input current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary
rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or
inadequate protection.
Caution:
IMPORTANT: The phase and ground current inputs correctly measure up to 46
times the current input’s nominal rating. Time overcurrent curves become
horizontal lines for currents above 20 × PKP.
56 1601-0450
2.16 GROUND AND SENSITIVE GROUND CT INPUTS

There are two dedicated ground inputs referred to throughout this manual as the Ground Current (1A/5A secondary)
and the Sensitive Ground (50:0.025) inputs.
Before planning to make any ground connections, be aware that the relay automatically calculates the neutral
(residual) current from the sum of the three phase current phasors, which is used by the Neutral IOC and TOC
which are both suitable for the ground fault detection.
The following figures show two possible ground connections using the ground current input (Terminals J7 and J8)
and sensitive ground connections using the sensitive ground current input (Terminals K7 and K8).
The ground input (Terminals J7 and J8) is used in conjunction with a zero sequence CT (core balance) as a source,
or in the neutral of wye-connected source CTs.
When using the residual connection, set the Ground CT Primary setpoint to a value equal to the Phase CT Primary
setpoint. Note that only 1A and 5A secondary CTs may be used for the residual connection.

Figure 32: Ground Current Input Connections
Alternatively, the 50:0.025 ground CT input has been designed for sensitive ground current detection on high
resistance grounded systems where the GE Digital Energy 50:0.025 core-balance CT is to be used.
For example, in mining applications where earth leakage current must be measured for personnel safety, primary
ground current as low as 0.5 A primary may be detected with the GE Digital Energy 50:0.025 CT. Only one ground
CT input tap must be used on a given unit. Note that when this CT input is selected for the Ground Fault function,
fixed ratio of 50:0.025 A is used by the relay.

2.18 VOLTAGE INPUTS

The relays have four channels for AC voltage inputs, each with an isolating transformer. Voltage transformers up to
a maximum 5000:1 ratio may be used. The nominal secondary voltage must be in the 10 to 240 V range.
The relay supports wye and delta (or open delta) VT connections. The typical open delta VT wiring diagram is
shown in the following figure: Open Delta VT Connections. The typical wye VT wiring diagram is shown in the wiring
diagrams.

2.19 CONTROL POWER

Control power is supplied to the relay such that it matches the relay’s installed power supply range.
Caution:
Control power supplied to the relay must match the installed power supply range. If
the applied voltage does not match, damage to the unit may occur. All grounds
MUST be connected for normal operation regardless of control power supply type.
For more details, please refer to the power supply section.
Caution:
The relay should be connected directly to the ground bus, using the shortest
practical path. A tinned copper, braided, shielding and bonding cable should be
used. As a minimum, 96 strands of number 34 AWG should be used. Belden catalog
number 8660 is suitable.
Figure 36: Control Power Connection
1601-0450 61
2.20 CONTACT INPUTS

Depending on the order code, the relay has a different number of contact inputs which can be used to operate a
variety of logic functions for circuit switching device control, external trips, blocking of protection elements, etc. The
relay has contact inputs and virtual inputs that are combined in a form of programmable logic to facilitate the
implementation of various schemes.
The voltage threshold at which the contact inputs detect a closed contact input is programmable as 17 V DC for 24
V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.
Wet or Dry input signal types can be connected to contact input terminals as shown in the figure: Wet and Dry
Contact Input Wiring Examples.
Dry inputs use an internal +24V supply. The voltage threshold must be set to 17V for the inputs to be recognized
using the internal +24V.
Note:
The same type of input signal must be connected to all contact inputs on the same contact input card.

2.21 OUTPUT RELAYS

The locations of the output relays have a fixed assignment for the platform called the master identifier. I/O options
that include inputs occupy the fixed assigned output locations so in these cases the relay assignment maps to the
master identifier.
The critical failure output relay is reserved as Relay_8 and it is omitted and is not programmable.

2.22 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

One two-wire RS485 port is provided. Up to thirty-two relays can be daisy-chained together on a communication
channel without exceeding the driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must be added.
Commercially available repeaters can also be used to add more than 32 relays on a single channel. Suitable cable
should have a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms and total wire length should not exceed 1,200 meters (4,000
ft).
Voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link are not uncommon. For this reason, surge
protection devices are internally installed across all RS485 terminals. Internally, an isolated power supply with an
opto-coupled data interface is used to prevent noise coupling.

!"#$
Figure 38: RS485 wiring diagram
Caution:
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-chain are at the same potential, it is imperative
that the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded at
the master end. Failure to do so may result in intermittent or failed
communications.
The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices installed, either
internally or externally. Ground the shield at one point only, as shown in the figure above, to avoid ground loops.
Correct polarity is also essential. The relays must be wired with all the positive (+) terminals connected together and
all the negative (–) terminals connected together. Each relay must be daisy-chained to the next one. Avoid star or
stub connected configurations. The last device at each end of the daisy-chain should be terminated with a 120 ohm
¼ watt resistor in series with a 1 nF capacitor across the positive and negative terminals. Some systems allow the
1601-0450 67
shield (drain wire) to be used as a common wire and to connect directly to the COM terminal; others function
correctly only if the common wire is connected to the COM terminal, but insulated from the shield. Observing these
guidelines ensure a reliable communication system immune to system transients.
68 1601-0450
2.23 IRIG-B
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows time stamping of events to be synchronized among connected
devices within 1 millisecond. The IRIG-B time code formats are serial, width-modulated codes which can be either
DC level shift or amplitude modulated (AM) form. The type of form is auto-detected by the relay. Third party
equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use a GPS satellite system to obtain
the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be synchronized.

Note:
The Trip output relay mode depends on the Switching Device Type selection. If the selection is Breaker the relay is in a
non-failsafe mode, if the selection is Contactor the relay is in a failsafe mode. These defaults are applied in
<PlatformSoftwareVersion> when you are creating a set point file. If settings are done using the relay’s HMI, the user must
ensure that the Operation setpoint for the breaker or contactor is as noted above.

3.2 FIRST ACCESS

There are two methods of interfacing with the relay.
● Using the relay keypad and display.
● Using the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
This section provides an overview of the interfacing methods using both of these methods.
When first accessing the relay, log in as Administrator either through the front panel or through EnerVista D&I Setup
software connected serially (so that no IP address is required). Use the default password (the default password is
0).
Basic Security
If the relay is in the commissioning phase and you want to bypass authentication, switch the SETPOINT ACCESS
setting on or assign it to a contact input. Once the setting is on, you have complete administrator access from the
front panel. If a contact input is chosen, the access is also conditional on the activation of the respective contact
input.
For more information on setpoint access and other security features available with basic security, refer to Basic
Security.
CyberSentry
If logging in through EnerVista D&I Setup software, choose Device authentication and login as Administrator.
Note:
If the relay is in the commissioning phase, to bypass authentication use the setpoint access feature to gain administrative
access to the front panel in the same way as with basic security.
80 1601-0450
3.3 FRONT PANEL OPTIONS

Relays from hardware version C (firmware version 4 onwards) can be delivered with following different front panels:
● The 10-pushbutton membrane faceplate
● The 3-pushbutton membrane faceplate
The front panels provide menu navigation through a selection of navigation pushbuttons and a high quality graphical
display. The 3-button faceplate includes 3 programmable function pushbuttons and 17 programmable LEDs.
The 10-Pushbutton Membrane faceplate includes 10 programmable function pushbuttons for a total of 22
programmable LEDs.
The front panel provides menu navigation through a selection of navigation pushbuttons and a high quality graphical
display. A USB type B port allows connection to a PC with EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
The following figures show the different options.
Note:
These figures are representative only. They may not reflect the exact model that this manual describes.
Figure 46: 3-pushbutton membrane front panel
1601-0450 81
Figure 47: 10-pushbutton membrane front panel
3.3.1 GRAPHICAL DISPLAY PAGES

The front panel liquid crystal display (LCD) allows visibility under various lighting conditions. When the keypad and
display are not being used and there are no active Targets, the Home screen with system information is displayed
after a user-defined period of inactivity. Pressing the Escape key during the display of the default message, returns
the display to the previous display screen. Any Trip, Alarm, or Pickup operation causing a new active Target is
displayed immediately, automatically overriding the Home screen.

Figure 48: Menu hierarchy
Figure 49: Typical paging operation from the main menu
3.3.1.2 WORKING WITH GRAPHICAL DISPLAY PAGES

The display contains five main menu items labeled Targets, Status, Metering, Setpoints, and Records located at the
bottom of the screen. Choosing each main menu item displays the corresponding sub-menu.
84 1601-0450
Figure 50: Typical paging
There are two ways of navigating through the menu:

● using the pushbuttons corresponding to the soft tabs from the screen
● by selecting the item from the list of items on the screen using the Up and Down pushbuttons to move the
yellow highlighted line, and pressing the Enter pushbutton.

Figure 51: Tab Pushbuttons
The tab pushbuttons are used to enter the menu corresponding to the label on the tabs. If more than 5 tabs exist,
the first and the last tab are labeled with arrows to allow you to scroll to the other tabs.
1601-0450 85

Figure 52: Keypad Pushbuttons
Each Keypad pushbutton serves the following function:

● The Home pushbutton is used to display the home screen, and all screens defined under the Front Panel/
Screens menu as default screens.
● The Help pushbutton is used to provide the Modbus address corresponding to the present location when in
the Actual Values menu.
● The Enter pushbutton has a dual function. It is used to display a sub-menu when an item is highlighted. It is
also used to save the desired value for any selected setpoint.
● The Up, and Down pushbuttons are used to select/highlight an item from a menu, as well as select a value
from the list of values for a chosen item.
● The Up, Down, Left and Right pushbuttons on the membrane faceplate are used to move the yellow
highlight. These pushbuttons are also used on special screens to navigate to multiple objects.
● The Escape pushbutton is used to display the previous menu. This pushbutton can also be used to cancel a
setpoint change.
● The Reset pushbutton clears all latched LED indications, target messages, and latched output relays,
providing the conditions causing these events are not present.
To change (or view) an item on (or from) the menus:

● Use the pushbuttons that correspond to the tabs (Targets, Status, Metering, Setpoints, Records) on the
screen to select a menu.
● Use the Up and Down pushbuttons to highlight an item.
86 1601-0450
● Press Enter to view a list of values for the chosen item. (Some items are view-only.)
● Use the Up and Down pushbuttons to highlight a value.
● Press Enter to assign the highlighted value to the item.
3.3.1.3 SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM
BKR1 LED setting for Breaker symbol color configuration

In all devices the Breaker symbol color can be configured as per the color scheme setting in Setpoints > Device >
Front Panel > Display Properties > Color Scheme.
Single Line Diagram for and Breaker/Contactor & Motor status color
The relay has a single line diagram (SLD) that represents the power system. The single line diagram provided is
pre-configured to show:
● Breaker status
● AC input connection
● System voltage
Accompanying the single line diagram are typical metered values associated with the power system.
The single line diagram is configured as the default menu but this can be changed under Setpoints > Device >
Front Panel > Default Screen.
Figure 53: SLD and typical metered values screen
The breaker/contactor status icon changes state according to the breaker/contactor status input and the color of the
icon changes in accordance with the color scheme setting (Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Display
Properties > Color Scheme). Regardless of the switching device selection (System > Motor > Setup > Switching
Device), the breaker/contactor colors follows the color scheme setting By default, Green (Open) is selected.
The Breaker/Contactor and motor status color is based on the following logic.
1601-0450 87
Figure 54: Breaker/Contactor and Motor status color
In addition, the following motor status appears when the relay includes synchronous motor application order codes.
When switching device detection (Breaker or Contactor) Connected/Disconnected (Racked-In/Racked-Out) is

configured, the symbols change with respect to the Connected/Disconnected state of the switching device. The
following table further illustrates this with an example of the switching device Close state when the color scheme is
set to Green (Open).
*The relay considers the breaker state Connected when detection of the Connected/Disconnected state of the
breaker is not configured. Connected/Disconnected detection is not configured when setpoint Connected (under
Setpoints > System > Breaker) is set to Off.
The parameters displayed in the Front panel screen example are as follows:

3.3.2 THREE-PUSHBUTTON FRONT PANEL LEDS
Note:
The rugged front panel is is not available for all models. See the order codes for details
Front panel LED details:

● Number of LEDs: 17
● Programmability: Any FlexLogic operand
● Reset mode: self-reset or latched
The front panel provides two columns of 7 LED indicators each, and 3 LED pushbutton indicators. The IN-SERVICE
(LED 1) indicator from the first LED column is a non-programmable LED. LED 3 in the first LED column is
programmable and defaulted to PICKUP. The bottom 3 LED indicators from the first column, and the 7 LED
indicators from the second LED column are fully programmable. The indicators TRIP (LED 2), and ALARM (LED 3),
are also programmable, and can be triggered by either a selection of FlexLogic operand assigned in their own
menu, or by the operation of any protection, control or monitoring element with function selected as Trip, Alarm,
or Latched Alarm.
The RESET key is used to reset any latched LED indicator or Target Message once the condition has been cleared
(latched conditions can also be reset via the RESETTING menu).
1601-0450 89

Figure 55: LED numbering
Some status indicators are common while some are feature specific which depend on the availability in the order
code. The common status indicators in the first column are described below.
Status Indicator Description
IN SERVICE Green color = Relay powered up, passed self-test has been programmed, and ready to serve.
This LED indicates that control power is applied, all monitored inputs, outputs, and internal
systems are OK, and that the device has been programmed.
Red color = Relay failed self test, has not been programmed, or out of service.
TRIP This LED indicates that the element selected to produce a trip has operated. This indicator
always latches; as such, a Reset command must be initiated to allow the latch to be reset.
ALARM This LED indicates that the FlexLogic™ operand serving as an Alarm switch has operated.
Latching of the indicator depends on the selected protection function. A Reset command must
be initiated to allow the latch to be reset.
PICKUP This LED indicates that at least one element is picked up. This indicator is never latched.
TEST MODE This LED indicates that the relay has been set into Test Mode.
MESSAGE This LED indicates the presence of Target Messages detected by the relay.
LOCAL MODE This LED indicates that the relay is operating in local mode.
Breaker status indication is based on the breaker’s 52a and 52b contacts. With both contacts wired to the relay and
configured, closed breaker status is determined by closed 52a contact and opened 52b contact. Vice-versa the
open breaker status is determined by opened 52a contact and closed 52b contact. If both 52a and 52b contacts are
open, due to a breaker being racked out from the switchgear, both the Breaker Open and Breaker Closed LED
Indicators will be off.
The Event Cause indicators in the first column are described as follows:
90 1601-0450
Events Cause LEDs are turned On or Off by protection elements that have their respective target settings selected
as either Self-Reset or Latched. If a protection element target setting has Self-Reset selected, then the
corresponding Event Cause LEDs remain On as long as the operate 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 will remain On until the RESET button on
the front panel is pressed after the operand is reset.
Default labels are shipped in the package of every product, together with custom templates. A custom LED template
is available for editing and printing. You can download the document GET-20035 from the website. The default
labels can be replaced by user-printed labels. Customization of LED operation is of maximum benefit in installations
where languages other than English are used to communicate with operators.
3.3.3 TEN-PUSHBUTTON FRONT PANEL LEDS
Note:
The Ten-pushbutton front panel is only available for the 850. See the order codes for details.
Front panel LED details:

● Number of LEDs: 22 (LEDs 13 and 14 are not available)
● Programmability: Any FlexLogic operand
● Reset mode: self-reset or latched
The 10 Pushbutton-Membrane front panel provides one column of 12 multi-color LED indicators and 10 single-color
LED pushbutton indicators. The IN-SERVICE (LED 1) and the PICKUP (LED 4) indicators from the first LED column
are non-programmable LEDs. The indicators TRIP (LED 2), and ALARM (LED 3) are programmable, and can be
triggered by either a selection of FlexLogic operand assigned in their own menu, or by the operation of any
protection, control or monitoring element with function selected as Trip, Alarm, or Latched Alarm.
The RESET key is used to reset any latched LED indicator or Target Message once the condition has been cleared
(latched conditions can also be reset via the RESETTING menu).

3.3.5 RELAY MESSAGES
3.3.5.1 TARGET MESSAGES

Targets are messages displayed on the screen when any change of state of protection, control, monitoring, or digital
signal takes place. Depending on the model, targets for each element are enabled, or latched by default. You can
disable targets for any particular element if desired.
Target Messages are displayed in order of their activation, whereas in cases of simultaneous activation, they are
displayed in the order outlined below (from highest to lowest priority):
1. Targets generated by pressing programmable pushbutton
2. Targets generated by Contact inputs
3. Targets generated by Protection, Control and Monitoring elements
4. Targets generated by communications.
In cases where the Pickup and Operate flags from an element are detected at the same time, the Pickup flag is not
displayed. The Operate flag is displayed instead.
LED #6, from the first column of LEDs, is factory configured to be triggered by the FlexLogic operand ANY
TARGET, to indicate the presence of at least one target message. This LED is labeled as MESSAGE. The LED can
be programmed to any other FlexLogic operand by choice.
MESSAGE TIMEOUT
The timeout applies to every screen apart from the default screen. Examples include viewing, metering, or
navigating to a screen with setting, etc. If no further navigation is performed, no pushbutton is touched, and/or no
target is initiated for the time specified in the message timeout setpoint, the display goes back to the default screen
(the metering summary screen).
The target message overrides the message timeout. The message timeout starts timing after each target message,
and if no more activity is recorded for the specified time, the display goes back to the default screen.
Pressing a programmable pushbutton activates a new screen with a Target Message corresponding to the
programmed pushbutton action. The pushbutton Target Message is displayed for 10 seconds then defaults to the
screen that was displayed before pressing the pushbutton. The pushbutton Target Message is recorded in the list
with other generated Target Messages.
Target Messages can be cleared either by pressing the pushbutton corresponding to the CLEAR tab, or by initiating
a RESET command. The CLEAR command clears only the Target Messages, while initiating a RESET clears not
only the Target Messages, but also any latched LEDs and output relays.
3.3.5.2 SELF-TEST ERRORS

The relay performs self-diagnostics at initialization (after power up), and continuously as a background task to
ensure that the hardware and software are functioning correctly. There are two types of self-test warnings indicating
either a minor or major problem. Minor errors indicate a problem with the relay that does not compromise protection
and control functionality of the relay. Major errors indicate a problem with the relay which takes it out of service.
Caution:
Self-Test Warnings may indicate a serious problem with the relay hardware!
1601-0450 95
Upon detection of a minor problem, the relay does the following:

● Displays a detailed description of the error on the relay display as a target message
● Records the minor self-test error in the Event Recorder
● Flashes the ALARM LED
Upon detection of a major problem, the relay will:
● De-energize the relay assigned under setting Major Self-Test Relay if the relay is programmed for failsafe
operation or energized if programed for non-failsafe operation.
● De-energize all output relays
● Turn off the IN SERVICE LED
● Flash the TRIP LED
● Assert the Self-Test Trip OP FlexLogic operand
● Display Major Self-test error with the error code as a target message
● Record the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder
When Alarm is selected as a function, upon detection of a major problem, the relay will:
● Flash the ALARM LED.
● Assert Self-Test Alarm OP FlexLogic operand.
● Display Major Self-test error with the error code as a target message
● Display Major Self-test error as a target message
● Record the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder.
Under both conditions, the targets cannot be cleared if the error is still active.

The relay should now communicate with the computer through the USB port.
3.4.3 WORKING WITH SETPOINTS

When a settings file is being uploaded to a device, the DEVICE IN SERVICE setting switches to Not Ready for the
duration of the upload. This ensures that all new settings are applied before the device is operational. A settings file
uploads operations including the following:
● EnerVista D&I Setup software menu option Write Settings File to Device
● Logic Designer changes saved online
● SLD configuration saved online
● IEC 61850 configuration saved online
● FlexLogic configuration saved online
● CID file uploaded to device
Individual setting changes from the device front panel or the EnerVista D&I Setup software Online Window do not
change the state of the DEVICE IN SERVICE setting.
3.4.3.1 ENTERING SETPOINTS

The following System Setup page is used as an example to illustrate entering setpoints. In this example, we will
changing the voltage sensing setpoints.
1. Establish communications with the relay.
2. Select the Setpoint > System > Voltage Sensing menu item.

the setpoint value box.
Note:
When using Setpoint Groups, an element from one group can be dragged and dropped on the same element in another
group, copying all settings.
3.4.3.2 USING SETPOINT FILES

The EnerVista D&I Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
1. In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating
relays.
2. Directly modifying relay settings while connected to a communicating relay, then saving the settings when
complete.
3. Creating/editing settings files while connected to a communicating relay, then saving them to the relay when
complete.
Setting files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A setting file contains data pertaining to
the following types of relay settings:
● Device Definition
● Relay Setup
● System Setup
● Protection
● Control
● Inputs/Outputs
108 1601-0450
● Monitoring
● FlexLogic
● Quick setup
● Protection summary
● IEC 61850 configurator
● Modbus user map
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The relay displays relay setpoints with the same hierarchy as the front panel display.
3.4.3.3 DOWNLOADING AND SAVING SETPOINT FILES

You should make a backup of the in-service settings before any changes are made or any work undertaken on
commissioned devices. This section describes how to backup settings to a file and how to use that file to restore
settings to the original relay or to a replacement relay.
Setpoints must be saved to a file on the local PC before performing any firmware upgrades. Saving setpoints is also
highly recommended before making any setpoint changes or creating new setpoint files.
The setpoint files in the EnerVista D&I Setup software window are accessed in the Files Window. Use the following
procedure to download and save setpoint files to a local PC.
1. Ensure that the site and corresponding device(s) have been properly defined and configured.
2. Select the desired device from the site list.
3. Select Read Device Settings from the online menu item, or right-click on the device and select Read Device
Settings to obtain settings information from the device.
4. After a few seconds, the software requests the name and destination path of the setpoint file. The
corresponding file extension is automatically assigned. Press Receive to complete the process. A new entry
is added to the tree, in the File pane, showing path and file name for the setpoint file.
3.4.3.4 ADDING SETPOINT FILES TO THE ENVIRONMENT

EnerVista D&I Setup software allows you to review and manage a large group of setpoint files. Use the following
procedure to add an existing file to the list.
1. In the offline pane, right-click on Files and select the Add Existing Settings File item.
2. The Open dialog box is displayed, prompting to select a previously saved setpoint file.
3. Browse for the file to be added then click Open. The new file and complete path will be added to the file list.
3.4.3.5 CREATING A NEW SETPOINTS FILE

Eenrvista allows you to create a new setpoint files independent of a connected device. These can be uploaded to a
relay at a later date. The following procedure illustrates how to create new setpoint files.
1. In the Offline pane, right click and select the New Settings File item. The Create New Settings File box
appears, allowing for the configuration of the setpoint file for the correct firmware version. It is important to
define the correct firmware version to ensure that setpoints not available in a particular version are not
downloaded into the relay.
2. Select the Firmware Version, and Order Code options for the new setpoint file.
3. For future reference, enter some useful information in the Description box to facilitate the identification of the
device and the purpose of the file.
1601-0450 109
4. To select a file name and path for the new file, click the button beside the File Name box.
5. Select the file name and path to store the file, or select any displayed file name to replace an existing file. All
setpoint files should have the extension .CID.
6. Click OK to complete the process. Once this step is completed, the new file, with a complete path, is added
to the software environment.
Note:
Offline settings files can be created for invalid order codes in order to support file conversion from different products,
upgrades, and special orders. To validate an order code, visit the GE Multilin online store.
Filenames for setting files cannot have a period character (.) other than the one that is added in front of CID.
3.4.3.6 UPGRADING SETPOINT FILES TO A NEW REVISION

It is often necessary to upgrade the revision for a previously saved setpoint file after the firmware has been
upgraded. This is illustrated in the following procedure:
1. Establish communications with the relay.
2. Select the Status > Information > Main CPU menu item and record the Firmware Version.
3. Load the setpoint file to be upgraded into the EnerVista D&I Setup software 8 Series setup software
environment.
4. In the File pane, select the saved setpoint file.
5. From the main window menu bar, select the Offline > Edit Settings File Properties menu item and note the
File Version of the setpoint file. If this version is different from the Firmware Revision noted in step 2, select a
New File Version that matches the Firmware Revision from the pull-down menu. For example, if the firmware
revision is J0J08AA150.SFD (Firmware Revision 1.50) and the current setpoint file revision is 1.10, change
the New File Version to 1.5x.
6. Enter any special comments about the setpoint file in the Description field.
7. Select the desired firmware version from the New File Version field.
8. When complete, click OK to convert the setpoint file to the desired revision.
3.4.3.7 PRINTING SETPOINTS

EnerVista D&I Setup software allows you to print partial or complete lists of setpoints. Use the following procedure
to print a list of setpoints:
1. Select a previously saved setpoints file in the File pane or establish communications with a relay.
2. If printing from an online device, select the Online > Print Device Information menu item. If printing from a
previously saved setpoints file, select the Offline > Print Settings File menu item.
3. The Print/Export Options dialog box appears. Select Setpoints in the upper section and select either Include
All Features (for a complete list) or Include Only Enabled Features (for a list of only those features which
are currently used) in the filtering section and click OK.
4. Setpoint lists can be printed in the same manner by right clicking on the desired file (in the file list) or device
(in the device list) and selecting the Print Device Information or Print Settings File options.
110 1601-0450
3.4.3.8 PRINTING VALUES FROM A CONNECTED DEVICE

A complete list of actual values can also be printed from a connected device with the following procedure:
1. Establish communications with the desired relay.
2. From the main window, select the Online > Print Device Information menu item
3. The Print/Export Options dialog box will appear. Select Actual Values in the upper section and select either
Include All Features (for a complete list) or Include Only Enabled Features (for a list of only those features
which are currently used) in the filtering section and click OK.
Actual values lists can be printed in the same manner by right clicking on the desired device (in the device list) and
selecting the Print Device Information option.
3.4.3.9 LOADING SETPOINTS FROM A FILE
Note:
An error message occurs when attempting to upload a setpoint file with a revision number that does not match the relay
firmware.
The following procedure illustrates how to load setpoints from a file. Before loading a setpoints file, it must first be
added to the software environment.
1. Select the previously saved setpoints file from the File pane of the main window.
2. Select the Offline > Edit Settings File Properties menu item and verify that the corresponding file is fully
compatible with the hardware and firmware version of the target relay.
3. Right-click on the selected file and select the Write Settings File to Device item.
4. Select the target relay from the list of devices shown and click Send. If there is an incompatibility, an
Incompatible device order codes, versions or Serial Locks error will occur.
If there are no incompatibilities between the target device and the settings file, the data is transferred to the relay.
An indication of the percentage completed is shown in the bottom of the main window.
3.4.3.10 UNINSTALLING FILES AND CLEARING DATA

The relay can be decommissioned by turning off the power to the unit and disconnecting the wires to it. Files can be
cleared after uninstalling Emervista or the relay, for example to comply with data security regulations. On the
computer, settings files can be identified by the .CID extension.
To clear the current settings file do the following:
1. Create a default settings file.
2. Write the default settings file to the relay.
3. Delete all other files with the .CID extension.
4. Delete any other data files, which can be in standard formats, such as COMTRADE or .csv.
You cannot directly erase the flash memory, but all records and settings in that memory can be deleted. Do this from
the front panel or EnerVista D&I Setup software using: Records > Clear Records
3.4.4 QUICK SETUP

The Quick Setup item can be accessed online or offline in EnerVista D&I Setup software. Settings changes can be
made from both of these screens.
1601-0450 111
Quick Setup is designed for quick and easy user programming. Power system parameters, and settings for some
simple overcurrent elements are easily set. The Quick Setup screen works as follows:
● Settings names and units can be viewed at this screen. To view the range of the settings, hover the cursor
over the setpoint value field.
● Configure and save the settings as required.
● The Save, Restore and Default buttons function the same as in the individual setting setup screens.
● Attempting to enter and save a setting value which exceeds the range gives a warning dialog box. Correct the
setting value and save to proceed.
Note:
In Quick Setup, the value is not replaced with the maximum value of the setting.
For example, the Phase CT Primary setting has a range of 1 to 12000, but the user enters 12001 and tries to
save it. Quick Setup displays a warning dialog. Pressing OK leaves the setting value at 12001, but not 12000
(max. value) as is the case with other views.
3.4.5 UPGRADING RELAY FIRMWARE

To upgrade the firmware, follow the procedures listed in this section. Upon successful completion of this procedure,
the relay will have new firmware installed with the factory default setpoints.The latest firmware files are available
from the GE website.
Note:
EnerVista D&I Setup software prevents incompatible firmware from being loaded into a relay.
Uploading firmware on a WiFi interface is not allowed.
Before upgrading firmware, it is very important to save the current settings to a file on your PC. After the firmware has been
upgraded, it will be necessary to load this file back into the relay.
3.4.5.1 LOADING NEW RELAY FIRMWARE

Do the following to load new firmware into the relay's flash memory.
1. Connect the relay to the local PC and save the setpoints to a file.
2. Select the Maintenance > Update Firmware menu item. A screen appears with information on how long the
upload will take. Select OK to proceed.
3. EnerVista D&I Setup software requests the new firmware file. Locate the folder that contains the firmware file
to load into the relay.The firmware filename has the following format.

/

! " #
$ %&
$&# ' # ()*+, - .
A screen appears advising that a backup of the settings file should be made before proceeding with the
firmware upgrade. Select YES to proceed.
4. EnerVista D&I Setup software now prepares the relay to receive the new firmware file. The front panel
momentarily displays Upload Mode.
112 1601-0450
5. A screen appears confirming the firmware versions of the target device and the selected .SFD. Click YES to
proceed with the firmware loading process.
6. EnerVista D&I Setup software will prompt the user to reboot the relay after both the Boot 1 and Boot 2
uploads.
Note:
The relay should be rebooted BEFORE pressing OK.
7. Wait for the Comms upload process to complete.

8. Wait for the Mains upload process to complete.
9. EnerVista D&I Setup software notifies you when the relay is successfully updated.
Note:
Wait for the relay to boot up, then cycle power to the relay to complete the firmware update process.
After successfully updating the firmware, the relay is not in service and requires setpoint programming. To
communicate with the relay, the communication settings may have to be manually reprogrammed.
When communication is established, you must reload the saved setpoints back into the relay.
Modbus addresses assigned to features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default values, min/max
values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firmware. The addresses are
rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
3.4.6 SLD CONFIGURATOR

The SLD Configurator allows users to create customized single line diagrams (SLD) for the front panel display. The
SLDs must be configured from the SLD Configurator in the EnerVista D&I Setup software, located under Setpoints
> SLD Configurator. The SLD Configurator allows breakers, switches, metering, and status items on the SLD.
SLDs are viewed from the relay front panel and individual SLD pages can be selected for the default home screen
pages. The relay provides several SLD pages. Each page can have a combination of active and passive objects.
Status, metering, and control objects are active while the static images for bus, generator, motor, transformer,
ground, etc. are passive objects.
1601-0450 113
Figure 61: SLD Page
For optimum use, the first SLD page can be used for the overall SLD and the subsequent pages can be used for
breaker/switch specific CT/VT placement, metering and status. Once the configurable SLDs are programmed, they
are saved within the relay settings file. The SLD pages can also be saved individually as local XML files. The locally
stored XML files can then be reloaded to generate another diagram. SLDs represent objects using GE symbols
(similar to ANSI).
Figure 62: Template SLD
The following figure shows the objects that are available for design in the SLD Configurator and their maximum
usage limits [X]. The maximum limit reflects the maximum possible order code.
114 1601-0450
Figure 63: SLD Configurator Component Library
3.4.6.1 CONTROL OBJECTS

The control objects consist of selectable breakers and disconnect switches. The following figure shows the different
symbols in the GE Standard style and IEC style. If the switching element is tagged, blocked, or bypassed, indicators
with the letters T, B, and By appear on the lower right corner of the element. The breaker/switch name is displayed
at the top of the object.
Note:
The displayed breaker name is configured in the setpoint Setpoints > System > Breakers > Breaker[X] > Name. This
setpoint has a 13-character limit. The name should be kept to a minimum so that it appears properly on the SLD.
1601-0450 115
Figure 64: Control Object Symbols
Note:
GE symbols are color-coded ANSI symbols.
The control objects status follows the color scheme from the Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Display
Properties > Color Scheme setting. By default, this setting is set to Green (open). If set to Red (open), the
status colors are reversed.
If the setting is used, the breaker symbols automatically change to the Truck CB symbols. The SLD assumes that if
the Breaker Racked-In/Racked-Out input is used (anything other than Off), the appropriate Truck CB symbol will
be used.
The following figure shows the orientation available for the control objects. The default position for the control
objects is 0 degrees. Orientation in multiple directions allows for configuration of the single line diagram according
to the existing drawings and ensure the correct side for the fixed/moving contacts.
116 1601-0450
Figure 65: Orientation for Breakers and Switches
3.4.6.2 STATUS OBJECTS

The status objects consist of digital operands. Up to 15 digital status elements can be configured per SLD page.
The status object acts as an LED on the screen. If the diagram shows a gray circle, it means the assigned input is
low. If it shows a red circle, the assigned input is high. The following figure shows an example of the Reclose
Blocked signal in both On and Off state.
Figure 66: Reclose Blocked signal
In addition, Remote Breaker status objects are added for GE and IEC style. Remote breaker status allows
monitoring of three distant breakers. These objects are not controllable and hence cannot be used for selection and
operation.
1601-0450 117
3.4.6.3 METERING OBJECTS

The metering objects consist of metering elements. Up to 15 metering elements can be configured per SLD page.
The metering object has an input for all the available FlexAnalog values. The units for these values are dynamically
scaled as per the defaults. The following figure shows the metering element on a configured SLD.
Figure 67: Metering Element on configured SLD
3.4.6.4 DEVICE STATUS OBJECT

The configurable SLD feature in the relay allows only one device status object per SLD page. The device status
does not have any properties. It is simply shown as Status: [device status].
3.4.6.5 STATIC OBJECTS

Static objects are used as simple bitmap images or text/drawing blocks to complete the single line diagram. There is
no control associated with these static objects. The static objects consist of drawing tools, text object, and power
system components.
3.4.6.6 FRONT PANEL INTERACTION

8 Series relays use the Select-Before-Operate (SBO) mechanism for local control of breakers and switches [IEC
61850-7-2]. Initially, the diagram can be browsed through all available breakers and switches by using the
navigation keys. After navigation, selection must be made for the breaker or switch object by pressing the Enter
key. After selecting the desired switch or breaker, control operations can then be carried out on the selected switch
or breaker. The relay allows local opening, closing, tagging, blocking, and bypassing. Front panel control is only
allowed when the relay is in Local Mode.
3.4.6.6.1 NAVIGATION
The SLD can be accessed in two ways from the front panel of the relay. The original location for the SLD pages is
under Status > Summary > Single Line Diagram > SLD [X]. However, a more convenient way to access an SLD
118 1601-0450
page is by setting it as a default home screen at Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Home Screens > Home
Screen1. Pressing the home button more than once rotates through the configured home screens. If the desired
SLD is set to Home Screen 2 through Home Screen 10, it can be activated by pressing home button until it
appears on the screen. If no home screen is configured, the default screens become active. If the default screens
are disabled, Status > Summary > Values screen is shown.
3.4.6.6.2 BREAKER/SWITCH BROWSING AND SELECTION

While in the SLD screen, only one page is active at any point of time. If SLD1 is active, only breakers and switches
on SLD1 can be operated and controlled. By default, when entering the SLD menu, the screen displays SLD1.
SLD2 through SLD6 can be accessed through the navigation pushbuttons as shown in the Active element
selection with flash message figure, found later in this section.
To browse through the control elements on the SLD page, the navigation keys can be used. On the rugged front
panel, the up and down keys can be pressed for navigation and on the membrane front panel, up, down, left, and
right keys can be pressed. With the rugged front panel navigation, pressing down sequentially rotates through all
the available breakers and switches on the screen. Pressing the up key rotates through in a reverse order. With the
membrane front panel, the up, down, left, and right keys can navigate to the closest breaker/switch depending on
the key press direction.
While browsing through switches/breakers the active element is shown with a blue colored border around it. To
select a breaker/switch, the browsing indicator border must be around the desired breaker or switch. The breaker or
switch can then be selected by pressing the Enter key. As the breaker or switch is being selected, a flash message
appears indicating that the breaker or switch has been selected as shown in the following figure. Once the element
is selected for operation, the SLD control pushbuttons appear and the color of the highlighter will change to maroon
indicating that the breaker or switch is selected. By default, the control pushbuttons are programmed for Tag,
Block, and Bypass. For each control action, a flash message is displayed.
1601-0450 119
Figure 68: Active element selection with flash message
Browsing and selection is allowed only when the relay is in Local Mode and the user has security access of at least
operator level. To check if the relay is in local mode, look for an LM symbol on the task pane at the top of the
screen. Pressing navigation keys on SLD pages while in remote mode does nothing.
Control pushbuttons appearing on the SLD page are only active while a control object is selected.
The control object is deselected if you navigate to any screen other than the SLD or by pressing the Escape key. If
no action is taken after selection, the object is automatically deselected after the Bkr/Sw Select timeout setting
(Setpoints > Control > Control Mode > Bkr/Sw Select Timeout). Once deselected, the control pushbutton labels
return to the SLD page navigation labels and the color of the box around the object changes back to blue for
browsing. Pressing Escape once more removes the browsing highlight around the objects. If inactive during
browsing for the timeout setting (Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Message Timeout), the browsing highlight
around the object disappears. If an object is selected, Home button operation is prohibited. The object must be de-
selected by pressing Escape in order for the Home button to function.
After upgrading from firmware versions 1.3x to 1.7x, the breaker/contactor starting/stopping operations from the
front panel now follow a select-before-operate mechanism. The breaker/contactor must be first selected by
browsing and pressing the Enter key for selection. Once selected, the function can be started or stopped with the
front panel’s pushbuttons.
3.4.6.6.3 CONTROL OPERATIONS

The control operations carried out through the front panel of the relay are done only in Local Mode (Setpoints >
Control > Local Control Mode > Local Mode). Opening and closing operations can be carried out by pressing the
Open and Close pushbuttons on the relay front panel. Other operations such as tagging, blocking and bypassing
can be carried out by pressing the control pushbuttons that appear after the control object selection.
Note:
Remote operations are allowed for opening, closing, blocking, and bypassing. Tagging must be done locally.
It is recommended that tagging is only used for maintenance purposes. When a breaker or a switch is tagged, it cannot be
bypassed although the letters By may appear below the element on SLD.
If breaker is selected and relay status is changed to Out-of-Service, the breaker control actions, such as tag, blocked, bypass
and open/close are blocked. The breaker may remain in the selected state, but no action can be executed.
120 1601-0450
Once the selected breaker or switch is tagged, a letter T appears below the associated element. Similarly, for
blocking, letter B appears and for bypassing, letters By appear below the associated breaker or switch as shown in
the last column of the following figure. The blocking and bypassing letters also appear if the breakers/switches are
blocked or bypassed remotely. These are linked to their respective breaker/switch in the SLD Configurator window
so that when that breaker/switch is deleted, the letters also get deleted.
Permitted breaker/switch operations are described in the following figure when various letter indications are present
under the control element.
Note:
For bypassing select-before-operate to start and stop the motor, the Start Motor PB and Stop Motor PB settings can be
utilized under breaker/contactor control.
3.4.7 FLEXCURVE EDITOR

The FlexCurve Editor is designed to graphically view and edit the FlexCurve. The FlexCurve Editor screen is shown
as follows for FlexCurves A, B, C, and D:
1601-0450 121
● The Operate Curves are displayed, which can be edited by dragging the tips of the curves
● A Base curve can be plotted for reference, to customize the operating curve. The blue colored curve in the
picture is a reference curve. It can be Extremely Inverse, Definite Time, etc.
● The Trip (Reset and Operate) Times in the tables and curves work interactively i.e., changing the table value
affects the curve shape and vice versa.
● Save Configured Trip Times.
● Export Configured Trip Times to a CSV file
● Load Trip Times from a CSV File
● The screen above shows the model for viewing FlexCurves. Select Initialize to copy the trip times from the
selected curve to the FlexCurve.
3.4.8 TRANSIENT RECORDER (WAVEFORM CAPTURE)

EnerVista D&I Setup software can be used to capture waveforms (or view trace memory) from the relay at the
instance of a pickup, trip, alarm, or other condition.
122 1601-0450
Note:
The COMTRADE Version used on 8 Series relays is C37.111-1999.
● With EnerVista D&I Setup software running and communications established, select the Records >
Transients > Transient Records menu item to open the Transient Recorder Viewer window.
● Click on Trigger to trigger a waveform capture.
● To view the captured waveforms, click on the Launch Viewer button. A detailed Waveform Capture window
appears as shown below.
● Click on the Save button to save the selected waveform to the local PC. A new window appears, requesting
the file name and path. One file is saved as a COMTRADE file, with the extension CFG. The other file is a
DAT file, required by the COMTRADE file for proper display of waveforms.
● To view a previously saved COMTRADE file, click the Open button and select the corresponding
COMTRADE file.
1601-0450 123
● The red vertical line indicates the trigger point.

● The date and time of the trigger are displayed at the top left corner of the window. To match the captured
waveform with the event that triggered it, make note of the time and date shown in the graph, then find the
event that matches the same time in the event recorder. The event record provides additional information on
the cause and system conditions at the time of the event.
124 1601-0450
● From the window main menu bar, press the Preference button
to open the COMTRADE Setup page, in order to change the graph attributes. Change the color of each
graph as desired and select other options as required by checking the appropriate boxes. Click OK to store
these graph attributes and to close the window. The Waveform Capture window reappears based on the
selected graph attributes.
● To view a vector graph of the quantities contained in the waveform capture, press the View Phasors button
to display the following window:
3.4.9 PROTECTION SUMMARY

Protection Summary is a single screen which holds the summarized information of different settings from Grouped
Elements and Monitoring Elements.
The Protection Summary Screen allows the user to:
● view the output relay assignments for the elements
● modify the output relay assignments for the elements
● view the Function status for the elements
● navigate to the respective element screen on a button click.
1601-0450 125
With EnerVista D&I Setup software running and communications established, select the Setpoints > Protection
Summary menu item to open the Protection Summary window.
3.4.10 FLEXLOGIC FAVOURITES

With EnerVista D&I Setup software version 2.70 and above, use the FlexLogic Favourites to create a customized
list of FlexLogic operands that use Format Code FC142.
Select Edit FlexLogic Favourites from either the offline menu or the popup menu from an offline CID file to access
a screen where the FlexLogic Favourite list can be modified. The FlexLogic Favourites screen includes a left tree
that shows all the FlexLogic Operands available for the CID file. The right tree shows all the FlexLogic operands
included in the Favourites list.
In the FlexLogic Favourites screen, press the Smart Update button to examine the CID file. Any FlexLogic
operands associated with an enabled feature/element will be added to the FlexLogic Favourites list. Operands will
never be automatically removed from the Favourites list, but can be removed manually by selecting the operand
and pressing the << button. Operands can also be added to the Favourites list by selecting the operands in the left
tree and pressing the >> button.
Select the check-box to use FlexLogic Favourites in any screen with a setting that is configured using the FlexLogic
operand (FC142).
FlexLogic Favourites is enabled when the settings are shown in BOLD and the background color of the setting is
brighter.
3.4.11 OFFLINE SETTINGS FILE CONVERSION

EnerVista D&I Setup software supports conversion of offline settings files created in the SR Series platform. This
feature allows the conversion of existing offline setting files to 8 Series files.
EnerVista D&I Setup software reduces the manual effort required when moving from an older product to a newer
product. The settings file conversion feature takes an existing settings file and generates a new settings file
compatible with the relay specified with the order code. After the import is complete, the results are displayed in an
interactive results window.
3.4.11.1 CONVERTING LEGACY FILES

EnerVista D&I Setup software software version 1.2x and above supports conversion of SR 469 files above version
5.0 only to 869 settings files. For files below version 5.0x, first convert these files to version 5.0 or higher using the
latest EnerVista D&I Setup software 469 Setup software before doing the conversion.
The conversion can only be initialized with EnerVista D&I Setup software from the Offline/New Settings File
commands located in the taskbar, as follows:
1. In the menu taskbar, click on Offline and select the New Settings File item. The Create New Settings File
dialog box appears, which allows for the setpoint file conversion.
2. Select the Firmware Version and Order Code option for the new setpoint file.
3. For future reference, enter some useful information in the Description box to facilitate the identification of the
device and purpose for the file.
4. To select the file name and path for the new file, click the button beside the File Name box.

4.2 ABOUT SETPOINTS

The relay has a considerable number of programmable setpoints, all of which make the relay extremely flexible.
These setpoints have been grouped into a variety of menus which are available from the paths shown below. Each
setpoints menu has sub-sections that describe in detail the setpoints found on that menu.
Note:
Use the path provided to access the menus from the front panel and from the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
Certain named settings allow custom names. Do not create 13-character long names using the largest width characters (i.e.
WWWWWWWWWWWWW). Doing so can cause the last 3 characters to overlap the setting name when viewed from the HMI
or the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
Figure 69: Main Setpoints Display Hierarchy
132 1601-0450
4.3 SETPOINTS ENTRY METHODS

Before placing the relay in operation, you must enter the setpoints, which define the system characteristics, inputs,
relay outputs, and protection settings. You can use one of the following methods:
● Front panel, using the keypad and the display.
● Front USB port, connected to a portable computer running the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
● Rear Ethernet, copper or fiber port connected to portable computer running the EnerVista D&I Setup software
software.
● Rear RS485 port and a SCADA system running user-written software.
● If applicable for your model, using the Wi-Fi wireless connection to a portable computer running the EnerVista
D&I Setup software software.
Using a computer is the easiest method, as files can be stored and downloaded for fast, error free entry. To facilitate
this process, the EnerVista D&I Setup software software is is available for download. The relay leaves the factory
with setpoints programmed to default values, and it is these values that are shown in all the setpoint message
illustrations.
At a minimum, you must set the Setpoints > System setpoints for the system to function correctly. To safeguard
against the installation of a relay whose setpoints have not been entered, the Out-Of-Service self-test warning is
displayed. In addition, the Critical Failure relay is de-energized. Once the relay has been programmed for the
intended application, you should change the Setpoints > Device > Installation > Device In Service setpoint from
Not Ready (the default) to Ready. Before putting the relay in the Ready state, you should work through each page
of setpoint messages, entering values either by keypad or computer.

4.4 COMMON SETPOINTS

To make the application of this device as simple as possible, similar methods of operation and similar types of
setpoints are incorporated in various features. Rather than repeat operation descriptions for this class of setpoint
throughout the manual, a general description is presented in this overview. Details that are specific to a particular
feature are included in the discussion of the feature. The form and nature of these setpoints is described below.
FUNCTION
The <ELEMENT_NAME> FUNCTION setpoint determines the operational characteristic of each feature. The range
for this setpoint is: Disabled, Trip, Latched Trip, Alarm, Latched Alarm and Configurable.
If the FUNCTION setpoint is selected as Disabled, then the feature is not operational.
If FUNCTION is selected as Trip or Latched Trip, then the feature is operational. When the Trip or Latched
Trip function is selected and the feature operates, the output relay #1 Trip operates (when selected as Trip
Relay), and the TRIP LED is lit.
When the Latched Trip function is selected and the feature operates, the TRIP LED and trip output operands will
remain latched. The Latched Trip can be reset by issuing the reset command.
If FUNCTION is selected as Alarm or Latched Alarm, then the feature is operational. When this function is
selected and the feature operates, the ALARM LED is lit and any assigned auxiliary output relays operate. The Trip
output relay does not operate, and the TRIP LED is not lit.
When FUNCTION is selected as Latched Alarm, operation of the Latched Alarm function depends on the
selection of the setting LATCH ALARM OPERATION, configured under Path: Setpoints > Device > Installation.
When the setting LATCH ALARM OPERATION is set to Self-Reset while an element is set to Latched Alarm,
only the Alarm LED will remain latched. When setting LATCH ALARM OPERATION to Latched, both Alarm LED
and element will remain latched.
When Alarm is selected and the feature operates, the ALARM LED flashes, and it self-resets when the operating
conditions are cleared.
If FUNCTION is selected as Configurable, the feature is fully operational but outputs are not driving any action,
such as output relay #1, ALARM LED or anything else. Operands from this element must be programmed to the
required action which may be as simple as the auxiliary output relay from the list of available relays in the element
itself; FlexLogic, Trip Bus etc.
Note:
The FlexLogic operands generated by the operation of each feature are active, and available to assign to outputs, or use in
FlexLogic equations, regardless of the selected function, except when the function is set to Disabled.
PICKUP
The setpoint selects the threshold equal to or above (for over elements) or equal to or below (for under elements)
which the measured parameter causes an output from the measuring element.
PICKUP DELAY
The setpoint selects a fixed time interval to delay an input signal from appearing as an output.
DROPOUT DELAY
The setpoint selects a fixed time interval to delay dropping out the output signal after being generated.
134 1601-0450
TDM
The setting provides a selection for Time Dial Multiplier which modifies the operating times per the selected inverse
curve. For example, if an IEEE Extremely Inverse curve is selected with TDM=2, and the fault current is 5 times
bigger than the pickup level, operation of the element can not occur until 2.59 s after pickup.
OUTPUT RELAYS
The <ELEMENT_NAME> RELAYS setpoint selects the relays required to operate when the feature generates an
output. The range is Operate or Do Not Operate, and can be applied to any combination of the auxiliary output
relays. The default setting is Do Not Operate.
The available auxiliary relays vary depending on the order code.
DIRECTION
The <ELEMENT_NAME> DIRECTION setpoint is available for overcurrent features which are subject to control
from a directional element. The range is Disabled, Forward, and Reverse. If set to Disabled, the element is
allowed to operate for current flow in any direction. There is no supervision from the directional element. If set to
Forward, the OC element is allowed to operate when the fault is detected by the directional element in forward
direction. In this mode, the OC element does not operate for fault in reverse direction. If set to Reverse, the OC
element is allowed to operate when the fault is detected in reverse direction, and does not operate in forward
direction.
RESET
Selection of an Instantaneous or a Timed reset is provided by this setting. If Instantaneous is selected, the
element resets instantaneously providing the quantity drops below 97 to 98% of the pickup level before the time for
operation is reached. If Timed is selected, the time to reset is calculated based on the reset equation for the
selected inverse curve.
BLOCK
The <ELEMENT_NAME> BLOCK setpoint selects an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands, which when
active, blocks the feature from running. When set to On the feature is always blocked; when set to Off, block is
disabled.
EVENTS
The <ELEMENT_NAME> EVENTS setpoint can be set to Enabled, or Disabled. If set to Enabled, the events
associated with the pickup, operation, or other conditions of the feature are recorded in the Event Recorder.
TARGETS
The <ELEMENT_NAME> TARGETS setpoint can be set to Disabled, Self-Reset, or Latched. If set to Self-
Reset, or Latched, the targets associated with the pickup, operation, or another condition of the feature are
displayed on the screen of the 8 Series 869 relay. The targets disappear from the screen when Self-Reset is
selected, and the conditions are cleared. The targets stay on the screen, when Latched is selected, and the
conditions are cleared.
1601-0450 135
Note:
The targets of status, control and pickup conditions are always self-reset type, regardless of the Self-Reset, or Latched
configuration of setpoint <ELEMENT_NAME> TARGETS.
To ensure the settings file inside the relay is updated, wait 30 seconds after a setpoint change before cycling power.
When IP addresses are changed and sent as a Settings file, the unit reboots twice.

4.5 LOGIC DIAGRAMS

Refer to the logic diagrams provided for a complete understanding of the operation of each feature. These
sequential logic diagrams illustrate how each setpoint, input parameter, and internal logic is used in a feature to
obtain an output. In addition to these logic diagrams, the Setpoints chapter provides written descriptions for each
feature.
● Setpoints: Shown as a block with a heading labeled SETPOINT. The exact wording of the displayed setpoint
message identifies the setpoint. Major functional setpoint selections are listed below the name and are
incorporated in the logic.
● Comparator Blocks: Shown as a block with an inset box labeled RUN with the associated pickup/dropout
setpoint shown directly above. Element operation of the detector is controlled by the signal entering the RUN
inset. The measurement/comparison can only be performed if a logic 1 is provided at the RUN input. The
relationship between a setpoint and input parameter is indicated by the following symbols: < (less than), >
(greater than), etc.
● Pickup and Dropout Time Delays: Shown as a block with indication of two timers – the tPKP (Pickup Delay),
and tDPO(Dropout Delay).
● LED Indicators: Shown as the following schematic symbol (X).
● Logic: Described with basic logic gates (AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR). The inverter (logical NOT), is shown
as a circle: O
● FlexLogic operands: Shown as a block with a heading labeled FLEXLOGIC OPERANDS. Each feature
produces output flags (operands) which can be used further for creating logic in the FlexLogic equation editor,
or Trip Bus, or can be directly assigned to trigger an output. The operands from all relay features constitute
the list of FlexLogic operands.

5.3 CUSTOM CONFIGURATION

The custom configuration features allows you to customize the configurations as desired.
Configuration Mode
The 8-series platform, supports a multitude of functions and features including:
● Protection and Control (P&C)
● Asset Monitoring
● Flexible Logic Engine (FlexLogic)
● Records and Reporting
● Time Synchronization
● Testing/Simulation
Taking into consideration user experience, configuration mode controls how the Setpoints are presented by only
displaying settings that are typically used, or settings that are important to configure.
Two configuration modes are supported:
● Simplified - In this mode, some of the functions, features and settings are hidden or made read-only (grayed
out). All the settings made in Regular configuration mode are still applied during simplified mode (they are
either hidden or read-only), so simplified configuration mode can also be seen as a way of locking advanced
setpoints.
● Regular - In this mode, all function/features and setpoints of the device are editable and nothing is hidden or
grayed out.
Configuration mode is applicable to the Setpoints items only and does not control view/presentation to other main
menu items, such as Device Definition, Status, Metering, Records, Commands and Maintenance. The configuration
mode setting is available to be changed by the Administrator role. The configuration mode control is applicable to
device HMI and setup software, as well as online and offline setting files.
Note:
Configuration mode does not disable the device functionality or settings. It only controls the view or presentation on the HMI
and setup software screens. Therefore, settings which are hidden or Read-only are preserved and applied within the device.
The home icon on the home page changes color according to the configuration mode. When in Simplified
configuration mode, the home icon color is green. When in regular mode the home icon color is blue.
Example 1: Setting items view control

The Phase TOC 1 function in Regular mode has 14 editable setpoints. In the Simplified mode this function has only
6 out of the 14 setpoints made available to edit. 5 setpoints are hidden, and 3 setpoints are read/view-only.
Note:
All setpoints under Regular mode are still applied and used by the device. For example the Input is hidden but configured as
Phasor during Regular mode, therefore Phase TOC 1 still applies Phasor as an input. Similarly, Reset is read-only, and
Phase TOC 1 still applies Instantaneous for resetting. The read-only settings are greyed out.

The differences in the Inputs setpoint screens for Regular and Simplified mode are shown below. Under Simplified
mode, the Virtual Inputs and Remote Inputs are hidden for any configuration change. However, the device will still
accept and process virtual and remote inputs based on what is configured during Regular mode. This way,
Simplified configuration mode does not change the behavior of the device.

Default: Regular
This setting allows selection of the configuration mode while the device is accessed by the Administrator role. In
Regular configuration mode, all values in settings/functions can be edited. In Simplified configuration mode,
selected settings/functions are hidden or the values are read-only to enhance user experience with minimum
setpoint changes.

5.4 REAL-TIME CLOCK

Path: Setpoints > Device > Real Time Clock
The relay is capable of receiving a time reference from several time sources in addition to its own internal clock for
the purpose of time-stamping events, transient recorders and other occurrences within the relay. The accuracy of
the time stamp is based on the time reference that is used. The relay supports an internal clock, SNTP, IRIG-B, and
PTP IEEE 1588 (version 2) as potential time references.
If two or more time sources are available, the time source with the higher priority shown in Time Sources table is
used where 1 is considered to be the highest priority. Please note that the time source priority of PTP and IRIG-B
can be swapped. If both PTP and IRIG-B are available, by default the clock syncs to PTP over IRIG-B. If PTP is not
available, the CPU syncs the internal clock to IRIG-B.
Time Sources
Time Source Priority
PTP (IEEE1588) 1*
IRIG-B 2*
SNTP 3
Internal Clock 4
* The priority of IRIG-B and PTP can be swapped.
Note:
Synchronization by IEC103, DNP, Modbus and IEC104 is not going to be issued if there is a sync source from IRIG-B, SNTP
or PTP.
5.4.1 PTP CONFIGURATION

Path: Setpoints > Device > Real Time Clock > Precision Time
PORT 4(5) PTP FUNCTION

Range: Disabled, Enabled
Default: Enabled
When the port setting is selected as Disabled PTP is disabled on the port. The relay does not generate, or
listen to, PTP messages on the port.
PORT 4(5) PATH DELAY ADDER

Range: 0 to 60000 ns in steps of 1 ns
Default: 0 ns
The time delivered by PTP is advanced by the time value in the setting prior to the time being used to
synchronize the relay’s real time clock. This is to compensate for time delivery delays not compensated for in the
network. In a fully compliant Power Profile (PP) network, the peer delay and the processing delay mechanisms
compensate for all the delays between the grandmaster and the relay. In such networks, the setting is 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. The setting can be used to approximately compensate for the delay. Since the relay is not aware of
146 1601-0450
network switching that dynamically changes the amount of uncompensated delay, there is no setting that always
completely corrects for uncompensated delay. A setting can be chosen that reduces worst-case error to half of
the range between minimum and maximum uncompensated delay if these values are known.
PORT 4(5) PATH DELAY ASYMMETRY

Range: -1000 to +1000 ns in steps of 1 ns
Default: 0 ns
The setting corresponds to Delay Asymmetry 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 the setting is set to zero.
In unusual cases where the length of link is different in different directions, the setting is to be set to the number
of nanoseconds longer the Ethernet propagation delay is to the relay compared with 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 +1000 ns.
STRICT POWER PROFILE

Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Enabled
Power profile (IEEE Std C37.238™ 2011) requires that the grandmaster clock be power profile compliant, that
the delivered time have a worst-case error of ±1 µs, and that the peer delay mechanism be implemented. With
the strict power profile setting enabled, the relay selects as master only 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.
The setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP-capable ports.
PTP DOMAIN NUMBER

Range: 0 to 255
Default: 0
The setting is set to the domain number of the grandmaster-capable clock(s) to which they can be synchronized.
A network may 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.
PTP VLAN PRIORITY

Range: 0 to 7
Default: 4
The 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 (Power Profile) the default VLAN priority is 4, but it is
recommended that in accordance with PTP it be set to 7.
Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN Priority may have no
effect.
1601-0450 147
PTP VLAN ID
Range: 0 to 4095
Default: 0
The 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 (Power Profile). As these messages have a
destination address that indicates they are not to be bridged, their VLAN ID serves no function, and so may be
left at its default value.
Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN ID may have no effect.
PTP PRIORITY
Range: 1, 2
Default: 1
The setting sets the priority of PTP time for the relay. If set to 1 and IRIG-B is available, the relay syncs the
relay’s time reference to the PTP time. If set to 2 and IRIG-B is available, the relay syncs its reference to IRIG-B
time.

Note:
IRIG-B is available in all relays. A failure on IRIG-B triggers an event and a target message.
IRIG-B is auto-detected. The signal type is detected in the hardware, so there are no configurable options.
1601-0450 149
5.4.3 SNTP PROTOCOL

8 series relays accept time synchronization from up to two different SNTP servers. In order to define number of
SNTP servers to be used, different settings for each SNTP server must be configured.
● If one SNTP server is used to synchronize the relay, the SNTP Server and UDP port settings must be
configured with the corresponding settings.
● If two SNTP servers are used to synchronize the relay, the SNTP Server IP and UDP port for the main server
must be configured, along with the SNP Server 2 IP and UDP port for the back-up server.
Note:
8 Series relays only support SNTP unicast. It may take 2-3 minutes for the relay to synchronize with the SNTP server.

5.5 SECURITY
OVERVIEW
The Multilin delivers full cyber security data classification with the use of security levels that help the user to comply
with security standards and guidelines. For Cyber Security, there is a choice of two order code options - Basic or
Advanced Security (CyberSentry):
● Basic Security – The basic security feature is the default offering of the product. It supports role based
access control (RBAC), encrypted communication between the IED and EnerVista configuration software,
with other functionalities such as security events storage on the IED, Inactivity Timeout and Lockout based on
authentication failure.
● CyberSentry – This feature refers to the advanced security options available as a software option. When this
option is purchased, it is automatically enabled and Basic Security is disabled. It supports the same
functionality as a Basic Security IED, but additionally it supports user management with non-shared accounts,
centralized authentication and logging of security events in syslog format to the configured syslog server. It
also supports the configuration of two US servers and two syslog servers to ensure redundancy and
availability.
GENERAL RULES FOR ROLES

● In an Advanced security device, all the roles (defined on the device as well as defined on the RADIUS server)
are password protected. In a basic security device, all the roles are password protected, except for the
Viewer role which is user-defined on the device. A user with Viewer capability, defined on the RADIUS server,
is password protected.
● All the roles, except for the Viewer role, support only one session at one time.
● The Viewer role has read-only access to all values in the relay except for one service command which is
described in the Password Recovery Procedure section below.
● In an Advanced security IED, all the roles can choose to log out. In a basic security IED, all the roles, except
for the Viewer, are able to log out.
● The setpoint access is used for the purpose of bypassing security on the interface defined by the BYPASS
ACCESS setting.
● The setpoint access setting may be either switched directly on or assigned to a digital input.
● If the setpoint access setting is assigned to a digital input, the digital input needs to be activated through a
physical key (jumper).
● The setpoint access setting may be set only by an Administrator.
PASSWORD COMPLEXITY
The password complexity is available on both Basic Security and Advanced Security.
If password complexity is enabled, a user account requires an alpha-numeric password that meets the following
requirements:
● Passwords cannot contain the user account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two
consecutive characters
● Passwords must be 8 to 20 characters in length
● Passwords must contain characters from the following four categories: - English uppercase characters (A
through Z) - English lowercase characters (a through z) - Base 10 digits (0 through 9) - Non-alphanumeric
characters (e.g. ~, !, @, #, $,%,&)
1601-0450 151
PASSWORD RECOVERY PROCEDURE

In the event of losing all passwords, the 8 Series 869 can be reset to factory defaults by following the procedure
below:
1. Send an email to the customer support department providing a valid serial number and using a recognizable
corporate email account. (Worldwide e-mail: [email protected])
2. Customer support provides the code to reset the relay to factory defaults.
3. Enter the code provided from the front panel, under the menu Setpoints > Device > Installation > Service
Command to reset the relay to factory defaults.
Note:
Even a Viewer may execute this operation.
The current limitation for the maximum number of Viewer sessions from EnerVista is three when the
Communications card is present.
When the communications card is not present, a maximum of two Viewer sessions may be initiated through
EnerVista. If two Viewers are connected, a third connection is only allowed for an Administrator. No Operator has
access. However, if an Operator is connected, before any other user, only one Viewer is allowed so that an
Administrator can connect. This is because the maximum number of TCP connections from EnerVista, when the
Communications card is not present, is only three. (With a Communications card, the maximum number of TCP
connections is five.)
SECURE TUNNELING
The following items are supported in the feature:
● Under the CyberSentry option, the Multilin supports SSH secure tunneling of MODBUS communications
between itself and EnerVista setup software.
● SSH secure tunneling is supported on Ethernet only.
● If bypass security is set (through setpoint access), the communications over Ethernet is not encrypted.
SECURITY EVENTS STORED ON IED

The Security_Events.CSV file stores security events information. A total of 1024 events are stored in a circular
buffer in a non-volatile memory. Once the file reaches its limit, the oldest event will get over-written by the newest
event.The following information will be supported and stored in the events file for each event:
● Event Number
● Data/Time (UTC)
● Username
● IP Address
● Role
● Activity Value
This file will be stored on the IED and is accessible from SFTP clients for users with the Administrator role. For
Basic Security, this is the only file to give security audit information to the user. This file is useful for Advanced
Security users if the syslog server is either not configured or not functioning.

5.5.1 BASIC SECURITY

The 8 Series 869 Basic Security supports four roles: Administrator, Engineer, Operator and Viewer.
The main settings structure is available from Path: Setpoints > Device > Security.
LOGIN
The setting allows a user to login with a specific role.
1. Whenever a new role is logged in, the user is prompted to enter a password.
2. If the wrong password is entered, an Authentication Failed! message is displayed
3. If the maximum failed authentications occur an Account Blocked! message is displayed.
4. The Viewer is the default choice and it does not require a password.
LOGOUT
This setting logs out the current user and logs in as Viewer. If the user is already an Viewer, this setting does not
apply. When logging out, a switch to Viewer role is performed.
CHANGE PASSWORDS
1. The Change local passwords menu is shown on the front panel and EnerVista on a successful login of
Administrator role.
2. If password complexity is enabled, the rules as defined in Security must be obeyed. If password complexity is
disabled this setting accepts 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters. See Path: Setpoints > Device > Security >
Change Local Passwords.
3. The default password is 0, which is programmed from the factory.
4. The login setting in this menu is similar to that in the parent security settings.
5. The Viewer does not have password associated with it, so it is not shown in this setting.
LOAD FACTORY DEFAULTS

The Administrator role can change this setting. This setting resets all the settings, communication and Security
passwords, and all records.
ACCESS LOCKOUT
Access lockout is the number of failed authentications (the default is 3 and the maximum is 99) before the device
blocks subsequent authentication attempts for the lockout period. A value of 0 means Access Lockout is disabled.
154 1601-0450
ACCESS LOCKOUT PERIOD

Access lockout period is the period of time in minutes of a lockout (the default is 3 and the maximum is 9999). A
value of 0 means that there is no lockout period.
ACCESS TIMEOUT
Access timeout is the time of idleness before a logged in user is automatically logged out. This timeout applies to all
users, independent of the communication channel (serial, Ethernet or direct access).
PASSWORD COMPLEXITY
This setting is available so that the option of selecting between simple passwords and complex ones is provided.
● The setting is only available to Administrator.
● By default Password Complexity is Disabled.
● When Password Complexity is Enabled, it follows the rules defined in Security.
BYPASS ACCESS
This feature allows security authentication to be bypassed. Once this setting is anything other than Disabled, the
user gets Administrator access rights on the configured interface for the period of time when the SETPOINT
ACCESS setting is On. For example, if user configures BYPASS ACCESS as Local, then no user authentication is
needed to access the device over USB or HMI when SETPOINT ACCESS is On. Another option is to configure
BYPASS ACCESS as HMI only - enabling the user to view and modify all settings, view actual values or execute
commands. The use of this feature should be restricted only in commissioning phase or when it is considered safe.
SETPOINT ACCESS
This setting is only available to Administrator. It is used for the purpose of bypassing security. It can be either
switched on or assigned to a digital input. If assigned to a digital input, the digital input needs to be activated
through a physical key.
Note:
If the maximum number of Viewer roles already logged in on the relay has been reached, you must log in on the Security
screen within one minute of making the connection otherwise your session is terminated.
FACTORY SERVICE MODE

When the factory service mode feature is enabled, the device may go into factory service mode. The default value
is Disabled.
REQUIRE PW FOR RESET KEY

This setting is only available to the Administrator. The Require PW for Reset Key is used for the purpose of
bypassing security. If this setting is Enabled and an alarm or trip occurs on the relay, the Reset button is not
available to the Operator. Only the Administrator can reset the relay with their password.
REQUIRE PW FOR D/T CHANGE

The date/time can be set by any role, if this setting is disabled. If this setting is enabled the date/time can only be
set by the Administrator.
1601-0450 155
REQUIRE PW FOR CONTROL

If this setting is disabled, Operator controls do not require a password. If this setting is Enabled, an Operator
password is required. By default Require PW for Control is Enabled.
5.5.2 CYBERSENTRY
The following features are supported in the CyberSentry feature:
● CyberSentry provides secure tunneling of MODBUS communications between itself and the EnerVista setup
software, using SSH.
● All the roles supported in the Basic Security are supported.
● Server authentication using RADIUS is added.

Figure 73: Security Settings Structure
SECURITY SETTINGS
AUTHENTICATION METHOD
Range: Device, Server/Device, Device/Server
Default: Device/Server
The AUTHENTICATION METHOD setting allows user to configure the priority for authentication method for each
authentication attempt. If user selects Device Authentication, then only Local authentication will be utilized. The
relay will not communicate with RADIUS server for authentication. When user selects Server/Device
Authentication then the relay will first connect with remote RADIUS server for authentication but if that is not
reachable then it will authenticate user based on local database of credentials. If Device/Server
authentication is selected, then priority for authentication will be given to device credentials database driven. If
that fails, then the relay will try to connect to remote RADIUS server for authentication.
1601-0450 157
LOGIN
Range: Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Viewer
Default: Viewer
The setting allows a user to login with a specific role.
Whenever a new role is logged in, the user is prompted to enter a password. If the wrong password is entered,
an Authentication Failed! message is displayed. If the maximum failed authentications occur, the Account
Blocked! message is displayed. Viewer is the default and it does not require a password.
LOGOUT
Range: Yes, No
Default: No
This setting logs out the current user. When logging out from the panel, a switch to the Viewer role is performed.
DEVICE AUTHENTICATION
Range: Yes, No
Default: Yes
Device authentication setting offers the option to disable or enable this type of authentication. By default device
authentication is on, but the option to turn it off is provided and may be chosen when a RADIUS server is
accessible and will be used exclusively.
Only an Administrator role may change this setting. If an Administrator disables it, the role remains logged in, but
it is not allowed to write any other settings. In Enervista, a popup window warns that such changes are not going
to be saved.
If device authentication is disabled, Enervista still displays both radio buttons for choosing between device and
server authentication. See the EnerVista Setup section below. However the drop down menu, when local is
selected, has only the Administrator option. Once logged in, this role is only able to switch on device
authentication. After switching on the device authentication, the Administrator gains write access to all the other
settings without the need to logout and login again.
LOAD FACTORY DEFAULTS

Range: Yes, No
Default: No
An Administrator role is able to change this setting. This resets all the settings, communication and security
passwords, and all records.
ACCESS LOCKOUT
Range: 0-99
Default: 3
This is the set number of failed authentications before the device blocks subsequent authentication attempts for
the lockout period. A value of 0 means that Access Lockout is disabled.
ACCESS LOCKOUT PERIOD

Range: 0-9999 minutes
158 1601-0450
Default: 3 minutes
This is the set period of time in minutes of a lockout. A value of 0 means that there is no lockout period.
Note:
The lockout period is measured from the moment the maximum number of failed authentications has been reached.
Additional attempts to login during the lockout period do not extend this time.
ACCESS TIMEOUT
Range: 2-999 minutes
Default: 5 minutes
This is the time of idleness before a logged in user is automatically logged out. The Access Timeout setting
applies to all users, independent of the communication channel (serial, Ethernet or direct access).
ENABLE PASSWORD COMPLEXITY

Default: Disabled
This setting is available to provide the option of selecting between simple passwords and complex ones. It is
only available to the Administrator role.The default password is ChangeMe1# When password complexity is
enabled, it follows the rules defined in Security.
SYSLOG PRIMARY IP ADDRESS

Range: 0.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.254
Default: 0.0.0.0
This is the Primary IP address of the target Syslog server all security events are transmitted to.
SYSLOG SECONDARY IP ADDRESS

Range: 0.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.254
Default: 0.0.0.0
This is the Secondary IP address of the target Syslog server all security events are transmitted to.
SYSLOG PORT NUMBER

Range: 1 to 65535
Default: 514
This sets the UDP port number of the target Syslog server all security events are transmitted to.
SETPOINT ACCESS
Range: Off, On, Digital Input
Default: Off
This setting is only available to the Administrator role. Setpoint Access may be assigned to a digital input.
When the digital input is activated, the user has Administrator access to the front panel.
1601-0450 159
FACTORY SERVICE MODE

Default: Disabled
When the feature is Enabled, the Factory role is accessible and the device can enter factory service mode.The
setting may be changed only by an Administrator.
Note:
The factory role password cannot be altered.
REQUIRE PW FOR RESET KEY

Default: Disabled
If this setting is Enabled and an alarm or trip occurs on the relay, the Reset button is not available to the
Operator. Only the Administrator can reset the relay with their password.
REQUIRE PW FOR D/T CHANGE

Default: Disabled
The date/time can be set by any role, if this setting is disabled. If this setting is enabled the date/time can only be
set by an Administrator.
CHANGE PASSWORD SETTINGS

The two menu items: Change Administrator Password, and Change Observer Password are available only to
Administrator, which is the only role that has permissions to change passwords for itself and the other local roles.
Each password change menu has two settings: New Password and Confirm Password. With Enable Password
Complexity enabled, each setting can have 6 to 20 alphanumeric characters. With Enable Password Complexity
disabled, each setting takes 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters.
If Enable Password Complexity is enabled, its rules must be obeyed. The default password is 0. The Viewer role
does not have a password associated with it, so there is no need to show it in the list of password changing roles.
ENERVISTA SETUP
For the software setup the following applies:
● Some security settings (such as Radius configuration) are only accessible and configurable through the
Enervista program.
● The Enervista software only allows for changes that are permitted by the user’s logged in role. For example,
the Observer role cannot write to any settings, but can only view.
160 1601-0450
● If the settings file is modified off line, the relay checks for the role of the user and allows the download only if
the role is Administrator (see table below). If the role is different, Enervista notifies the user via a pop-up
window that this operation is allowed only for Administrators.
● The Enervista Login Screen has two radio buttons to choose between device and server authentication.
○ If server authentication is chosen, the screen provides User Name: and Password: fields
○ If device authentication is chosen the User Name: field changes to a drop down menu. If device
authentication is enabled internally, the drop down menu contains all predefined roles. If device
authentication is disabled, the drop down menu has only the Administrator option. This is to allow for
switching on the device authentication. Once logged in, the Administrator is only able to turn on the
device authentication, but once the device authentication is enabled, access to all the other settings is
granted.
● A file download may be performed only from the relay.

Note:
In special cases security settings, such as RADIUS IP address and port, if modified offline, can result in interruption of service
when applied online, if the user is not aware of the change having been made. For this reason, if these settings have been
modified, offline, they will not be written during the file write operation.
RADIUS SETTINGS
The following are settings that need to be configured through Enervista in order to set up communication with two
RADIUS servers. For configuring the RADIUS server itself, consult the RADIUS documentation. An example is
provided, see Communications Guide.

5.6 COMMUNICATIONS
8-series relays relays have a two-stage communications capability. The base CPU supports the Modbus protocol
through the Ethernet, USB and serial ports. In addition, the base CPU also supports the IEC 103, DNP serial, DNP
TCP/IP, Ethernet and TFTP protocol. Once the communications module option is added to the base, the
communications module supports IEC 61850 Ed.2. The communications CPU also supports Modbus TCP, DNP
TCP, TFTP, SFTP, and SNTP protocol.
5.6.1 GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS SETUP
Note:
The below settings are applied only to devices with IEC 61850 order codes.
MULTI-LEVEL CONTROL
Default: Disabled
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.
IED LOCAL STATUS

Range: Off, Any FlexLogic operand
Default: Off
This selects an operand that indicates whether 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, DNP3, IEC 104 or 103,
Modbus) are rejected.
5.6.2 MODBUS PROTOCOL

All Ethernet ports and serial communication ports support the Modbus protocol. The only exception is if the serial
port has been configured for DNP or IEC 60870-5-103 operation (see descriptions below). This allows the EnerVista
D&I Setup software (which is a Modbus master application) to communicate with the relay.
The relay implements a subset of the Modicon Modbus RTU serial communication standard. The Modbus protocol
is hardware-independent. That is, the physical layer can be any of a variety of standard hardware configurations.
This includes USB, RS485, fiber optics, etc. Modbus is a single master / multiple slave type of protocol suitable for a
multi-drop configuration.
The relay is always a Modbus slave with a valid slave address range 1 to 254.
DATA FRAME FORMAT AND DATA RATE

One data frame of an asynchronous transmission to or from a relay typically consists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1
stop bit. This produces a 10-bit data frame. This is important for transmission through modems at high bit rates.
Modbus protocol can be implemented at any standard communication speed. The relay supports operation at 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps baud rate. The USB interface supports ModBus TCP/IP.
164 1601-0450
FUNCTION CODE SUPPORTED

The following functions are supported:
● FUNCTION CODE 03H - Read Setpoints
● FUNCTION CODE 04H - Read Actual Values
● FUNCTION CODE 05H - Execute Operation
● FUNCTION CODE 06H - Store Single Setpoint
● FUNCTION CODE 07H - Read Device Status
● FUNCTION CODE 08H - Loopback Test
● FUNCTION CODE 10H - Store Multiple Setpoints
● FUNCTION CODE 42H - Group Settings Read
● FUNCTION CODE 43H - Group Settings Write
When a ModBus master such as the EnerVista D&I Setup software communicates with the relay over Ethernet, the
relay slave address, TCP port number and IP address for the associated port must be configured and are also
configured within the Master for this device. The default ModBus TCP port number is 502.
5.6.3 MODBUS CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS

The following ModBus parameters are configurable:
Path:Setpoints > Device > Communications > Modbus Protocol
MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS

Default: 254
For the RS485 ports each 8 Series 869 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. 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, otherwise conflicts resulting in errors occur. Generally, each device added to the
link uses the next higher address starting at 1.
MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER

Default: 502
The TCP port number used with Modbus over Ethernet. Note that the maximum number of simultaneous
Modbus connections supported over Ethernet is three for an 8 Series 869 without the communications card and
five for an 8 Series 869 with the communications card.
COMPATIBILITY
Range: Disabled, SR750, FlexMap
Default: Disabled
Compatibility mode changes the Modbus actual value registers to emulate an SR750 or SR735 relay. The
emulation supports typical actual value data for common data items.
Starting in version 2.90, choose FlexMap for SR750 support to include support for additional SR750 registers.
See the 8 Series Protective Relay Communications guide for the list.
1601-0450 165
Note:
When in compatibility mode the rear RS485 port and the rear Ethernet ports are not accessible via EnerVista D&I Setup
software so it is not possible to change any settings, view actual values or retrieve records. When in compatibility mode the
actual values supported can be read via the rear RS485 or rear Ethernet Ports using Modbus Master e.g. PLC or DCS. The
front USB port should be used for connection and EnerVista D&I Setup software activities.
FLEXMAP FILE
Range: Up to 13 alphanumeric characters
Default: SR735XA290.000 or SR750XA290.000
The Flexmap File describes the translation from the Multilin Modbus memory map to the target Modbus memory
map.
For SR750 support enter the filename SR750XA290.000.
For SR735 support enter the filename SR735XA290.000.
MODBUS 485 READ ACTUALS

Range: Function Code 03h, Function Code 04h
Default: Function Code 04h
The Modbus 485 Read Actuals setting configures the Function Code that the relay responds to from a Modbus
Master when Actual Values are requested. Use this setting in scenarios where the Modbus Master can only
communicate using Function Code 03h for requesting Actual Values.
Note:
This setting applies only to the RS485 connection.
When this setting is changed to Function Code 03h, retrieving configuration settings through the RS485 port is not possible.
MODBUS ACTIVITY TIMEOUT

Range: 0 to 3600 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 0 s
The Modbus Activity Timeout specifies the minimum time without Modbus communication. This timeout is
used to declare the Modbus Loss of Communication state.
The Modbus state is always Active if the Modbus Activity Timeout is 0 s.
MODBUS ERROR RESPONSES

The following exception response codes are implemented.
Error ID Exception Description
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The function code transmitted is not one of the functions supported by the 8
Series 869.
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The address referenced in the data field transmitted by the master is not an
allowable address for the 8 Series 869.
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE The value referenced in the data field transmitted by the master is not within
range for the selected data address.
166 1601-0450
5.6.4 RS485
On the rear, the relay is equipped with two RS485 serial communication ports. The RS485 port has settings for
baud rate and parity. It is important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other
equipment connected to this port. A maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and connected to a DCS, PLC or a
PC using the RS485 port.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > RS485
BAUD RATE
Range: 2400, 4800, 9600, 1200, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
Default: 115200
PARITY
Range: None, Odd, Even
Default: None
PORT PROTOCOL
Range: Modbus, DNP 3.0, IEC 60870-5-103
Default: Modbus
5.6.5 USB
The USB parameters are as follows:
IP Address: 172.16.0.2
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
IP GWY IP Address: 172.16.0.1
Note:
Whenever the device is rebooted, the USB cable needs to be unplugged and plugged in again for proper communication to be
established over USB.
Connecting multiple relays over USB to a single PC is not possible because in the case of USB, the IP address of
the device 172.16.0.2 is constant.
5.6.6 ETHERNET PORTS

The following communication offerings are available.
Base Offering
● 2x Copper (RJ45) Ports
● Modes: 10/100 Mbps

5.6.6.1 NETWORK SETTINGS MENU

This section describes the network settings menu. If the communications card is installed network port 1 is no
longer available. When using more than one Ethernet port, configure each to belong to a different network or subnet
using the IP addresses and mask, else communication becomes unpredictable when more than one port is
configured to the same subnet.
Note:
Use the softkeys and Down/Up key to enter an IP address. When entering an IP address you must press the BACK key first
to switch between softkey mode and the Down/Up key mode.
NETWORK 1, 2, 4, 5
Range: Standard IPV4 Address format
Default: 192.168.11.11 (Port 1)
Default: 192.168.11.12 (Port 2)
Default: 192.168.11.13 (Port 4)
Default: 192.168.11.14 (Port 5)
The setting sets the port’s IPV4 address in standard IPV4 format.
Note:
The setting is valid on Port 2(5) if Prt1(4) is set to Independent
Note:
The setting is valid on Port 2 if Prt1 Operation is set to Independent.
Note:
172.17.X.X/16 and 172.18.X.X/16 are reserved IPs.
PRT1(1,2,4,5) SUBNET IP MASK

Range: Standard IPV4 mask format
Default: 255.255.255.0 (Port 1, 2, 4, 5)
This setting specifies the IPv4 mask associated with the corresponding port IP address.
168 1601-0450
PRT1 OPERATION
Range: Independent, LLA, PRP
Default: Independent
This setting determines the mode of operation for ports 1 and 2: Independent, LLA or PRP.
Independent operation: Ports 1, 2, 4 and 5 operate independently with their own MAC and IP address.
LLA operation: Ports 1, 2, 4 and 5 use port 1’s MAC and IP address settings while port 2 is in standby mode in
that it does not actively communicate on the Ethernet network but monitors its link. If port 1 is active and the link
loss problem is detected, communications is switched to port 2 immediately. Port 2 is, in effect, acting as a
redundant or backup link to the network for port 1.
LLA (Link Loss Alert): is a proprietary feature supported by the fiber optic ports. When enabled, this feature is
able to detect a failure of the fiber link. If Prt1 Operation is set to LLA, the detection of a link failure by this
feature triggers the transfer of communications. If LLA is enabled on a port with a non-fiber SFP, the target
message LLA not supported by Prt (1 or 2) is displayed on the keypad and an event is logged.
Note:
LLA is not available on port 4,5 copper (RJ45). When the port operation is selected, the relay requires a reboot for the setting
to be applied.
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) operation: Ports 1 and 2 use the same MAC address and combine
information at the link layer. It is intended to only be used if the two ports are connected to separate parallel
LAN’s. In this mode of operation, both ports cannot be connected to the same LAN. The receiving devices (8
Series 869) process the first frame received and discard the duplicate through a link redundancy entity (LRE) or
similar service that operates below layer 2. Aside from LRE, PRP uses conventional Ethernet hardware but both
ports must know they are in PRP. Ports of PRP devices operating with the same Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
for traffic that uses IP Management protocols such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) must operate
correctly.
Duplicate Discard mode: This is the normal setting for PRP operation and once set it allows the sender LRE to
append a six-octet field that contains a sequence number, the Redundancy Control Trailer (RCT) to both frames
it sends. The receiver LRE uses the sequence number of the RCT and the source MAC address to detect
duplicates. It forwards only the first frame of a pair to its upper layers.
Note:
NOTE: redundancy operations work in pairs Port1/2 and Port4/5 only. It is not interchangeable between all ports.
5.6.7 ROUTING
When the configuration card is present, a default route and a maximum number of 6 static routes can be configured.
The default route is used as the last choice, if no other route towards a given destination is found.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > Routing > Default Route
GATEWAY ADDRESS
Range: Standard IPV4 unicast address format (0.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254)
Default: 127.0.0.1
1601-0450 169
This setting sets the gateway of the default route to be used by IP traffic sent from the relay, if no other route
towards a given IP destination is found.
This setting is available only if the communications card is present.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > Routing > Static RT1 (2 to 6)
RT1 (2,3,4,5,6) DESTINATION

Range: Standard IPV4 network address format (0.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254)
Default: 127.0.0.1
This setting sets the destination IPv4 route. This setting is available only if the communications card is present.
RT1 (2,3,4,5,6) MASK

Range: Standard IPV4 network mask format
Default: 255.0.0.0
This setting sets the IP mask associated with the route. This setting is available only if the communications card
is present.
RT1 (2,3,4,5,6) GATEWAY

Range: Standard IPV4 unicast address format (0.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254)
Default: 127.0.0.1
This setting sets the destination IP route. This setting is available only if the communications card is present.
RULES FOR ADDING AND DELETING STATIC ROUTES

1. By default, the value of the destination field is 127.0.0.1 for all static routes (1 to 6). This is equivalent to
saying that the static routes are not configured. When the destination address is 127.0.0.1, the mask and
gateway must also be kept as default values.
2. By default, the value of the default route gateway address is 127.0.0.1. This means the default route is not
configured.
3. Use any of the static network route entries numbered 1 to 6 to configure a static network route. Once a route
destination is configured for any of the entries 1 to 6, that entry becomes a static route and it must meet all
the rules listed in Important Notes below.
170 1601-0450
4. To configure the default route, enter a default gateway address. A default gateway address configured must
be validated against Rule #5, the next rule.
5. Routes are deleted by replacing the route destination with the default address (127.0.0.1). When deleting a
route, the mask and gateway must also be put back to their default values.
6. The default route is deleted by replacing the default gateway with the default value 127.0.0.1.
Note:
Host routes are not supported at present.
The route mask has IPv4 mask format. In binary this is a set of contiguous bits of 1 from left to right, followed by one or more
contiguous bits of 0.
The route destination and mask must match. This can be verified by checking that RtDestination & RtMask == RtDestination
This is an example of a good configuration: RtDestination= 10.1.1.0; Rt Mask= 255.255.255.0
This is an example of a bad configuration: RtDestination = 10.1.1.1; Rt Mask= 255.255.255.0
The route destination must not be a connected network.
The route gateway must be on a connected network. This rule applies to the gateway address of the default route as well.
This can be verified by checking that: RtGwy & Prt4Mask) == (Prt4IP & Prt4Mask) || (RtGwy & Prt5Mask) == (Prt5IP &
Prt5Mask)
TARGETS
Wrong Route Config
Description: A route with mismatched destination and mask has been configured.
Message: Wrong route configuration.
Solution: Rectify the IP address and mask of the mis-configured route.
TOPOLOGY
Figure 74: Topology Example
In the topology example above, the Multilin device is connected through the two Ethernet ports available on the
communications card.
1601-0450 171
Port1 (IP address 10.1.1.2) connects to LAN 10.1.1.0/24 and to the Internet through Router1. Router 1 has an
interface on 10.1.1.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.1.1.
Port2 (IP address 10.1.2.2) connects to LAN 10.1.2.0/24 and to EnerVista D&I Setup software through Router 2.
Router 2 has an interface on 10.1.2.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.2.1.
Configuration
Network addresses:
PRT21IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2PRT2
SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
Routing Settings:
IPV4 DEFAULT ROUTE: GATEWAY ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
STATIC NETWORK ROUTE 1: RT1 DESTINATION = 10.1.3.0/24RT1 NET MASK = 255.255.255.0RT1
GATEWAY = 10.1.2.1
Behavior:
One static network route was added to the destination 10.1.3.0/24, where a laptop 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 Router
2, which is aware of destination 10.1.3.0 and is able to route packets coming from the device and destined to
Enervista.
5.6.8 DNP PROTOCOL SETTINGS

Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > DNP protocol
DNP Channel 1(2) Port

Range: None, Network - TCP, Network - UDP
Default: None
The DNP Channel 1 Port and DNP Channel 2 Port settings select the communications port assigned to the
DNP protocol for each channel. When set to Network - TCP, the DNP protocol can be used over TCP/IP on
channels 1 or 2. When set to Network - UDP, the DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP.
DNP Address
Default: 65519
The DNP address sets the DNP slave address. This number identifies the device on a DNP communications
link. Each DNP slave must be assigned a unique address.
DNP Client Address 1(2)

Range: standard IP address
Default: 0.0.0.0
The DNP Client Address settings can force the device to respond to a maximum of two specific DNP masters.
DNP TCP/UDP Port 1(2)

172 1601-0450
Default: 2000
Note:
DNP Channel 1 Port will take the DNP TCP/UDP Port 1 and DNP Client Address 1 to allow/reject connections. The same
relation is used by channel 2.
DNP Unsol Resp Function

Default: Disabled
This setting will take effect for Ethernet communication only if the main card is present or a comms card is
available in the device. This setting enables/disables the unsolicited response functionality. It is disabled for
RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance mechanism.
DNP Unsol Resp Timeout

Range: 0 to 60 s in steps of 1
Default: 5 s
Sets the time the relay waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited response.
Unsol Resp Max Retries

Default: 10
Sets the number of times the device retransmits an unsolicited response without receiving confirmation from the
master; a value of 255 allows infinite re-tries.
Unsol Resp At Startup (F/W version 4.00 onwards)

Default: Disabled
When relay is rebooting, unsolicited responses work without an Enable message needed, but this is only
possible once the Master resets the communications with the relay. This happens with both Reset Link or Class
1 request messages.
DNP Unsol Resp Dest Addr

Default: 1
Sets the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which unsolicited
responses are sent is determined by the device from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP
message.
DNP Time Sync IIN Period

Range: 1 to 10080 min. in steps of 1
Default: 1440 min
1601-0450 173
This setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the device. Changing this
time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
Note:
If the requirement for synchronization is more than a couple of seconds, consider synchronization via other means such as
IRIG-B or 1588. Given network asymmetry, the consistency of the network latency, clock drift, and additional delays due to
routers located between the client and the device all contribute error.
DNP Message Fragment Size

Default: 240
This 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 can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
DNP OBJECT 1(32) Default Variation

These settings allow selection of 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.
TCP Connection Timeout

Range: 10 to 300 s in steps of 1
Default: 120 s
This 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 will be aborted.. This
frees up the connection to be re-used by a client.

Binary input points (DNP) or MSP points (IEC 60870-5-104)

You can configure the binary inputs points for the DNP protocol, or the MSP points for IEC 60870-5-104 protocol to
a maximum of 96 points. The data source for each point is user-programmable and can be configured by assigning
FlexLogic operands. For a complete list, see Format Code FC142.

You can configure up to 255 analog input points for the DNP or IEC 60870-5-104 protocols. The menu path for the
analog input point (DNP) or MME points (IEC 60870-5-104) is shown below.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > DNP/IEC104 Point Lists > Analog Input / MME Points

DNP ANALOG INPUT POINT 0(255) SCALE FACTOR

Range: / 0.001, / 0.01, / 0.1, / 1, / 10, / 100, / 1000, / 10000, / 100000
Default: /1
These are numbers used to scale analog input point values. Each setting represents the scale factor for the
analog input point. For example, if the DNP PHASE A VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to / 1000,
and the Phase A voltage is 72000 V, the Phase A voltage sent on to the relay is 72 V. The settings are useful
when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain ranges in DNP masters.
Note:
A scale factor of / 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10.
DNP ANALOG INPUT POINT 0(255) DEADBAND

Default: 30000
The setting is the threshold value to define the condition to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input
data. Each setting represents the default deadband value for the associated analog input. For example, to
trigger unsolicited responses from the relay when phase A current changes by 15 A, the DNP Current Deadband
for Phase A current should be 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.
Whenever power is removed and re-applied, the new deadbands are in effect.
Binary output points (DNP) or CSC/CDC points (IEC 60870-5-104)

You can configure the binary output points for the DNP protocol, or the CSC/CDC points for IEC 60870-5-104
protocol to a maximum of 16 points. The data source for each point is user-programmable and can be configured by
assigning FlexLogic operands. The menu path for the binary output points (DNP) or CSC/CDC points (IEC
60870-5-104) is shown below.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > DNP/IEC104 Point Lists > Binary Output / CSC/CDC Points
Binary Output Point 0 ON
Binary Output Point 0 OFF
...
Binary Output Point 31 ON
Binary Output Point 31 OFF
1601-0450 175
Note:
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.
BINARY INPUT POINTS

The DNP binary input data points are configured through the DNP/IEC104 POINT LISTS BINARY INPUT/MSP
POINTS menu. When a freeze function is performed on a binary counter point, the frozen value is available in the
corresponding frozen counter point.
● Static (Steady-State) Object Number: 1
● Change Event Object Number: 2
● Request Function Codes supported: 1 (read), 22 (assign class)
● Static Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 2 (Binary Input with status), Configurable
● Change Event Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 2 (Binary Input Change with Time),
Configurable
● Change Event Scan Rate: 8 times per power system cycle
● Change Event Buffer Size: 1024
● Default Class for All Points: 1
POINT NAME/DESCRIPTION COUNTERS

The following details lists both Binary Counters (Object 20) and Frozen Counters (Object 21). When a freeze
function is performed on a Binary Counter point, the frozen value is available in the corresponding Frozen Counter
point. Digital Counter values are represented as 16 or 32-bit integers. The DNP 3.0 protocol defines counters to be
unsigned integers. Care should be taken when interpreting negative counter values.
BINARY COUNTERS
● Request Function Codes supported: 1 (read), 7 (freeze), 8 (freeze noack), 9 (freeze and clear), 10 (freeze

ANALOG INPUTS
It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of analog inputs are transmitted through DNP as signed
numbers. Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is
32767 for 16-bit values and 2147483647 for 32-bit values. This is a DNP requirement. The deadbands for all Analog
Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input quantity measured in
volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values
according to data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.
1. A default variation refers to the variation response when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3
scans. The default variations for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings.
This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
2. For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with
qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08,
are responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. For change event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.
Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts – the relay is not restarted, but the DNP process is
restarted.
5.6.9 IEC60870-5-104
The IEC 60870-5-104 communications protocol is supported on Ethernet ports 4 and 5 only. Setting changes
become active after rebooting.
Note:
Both DNP and IEC104 protocol can work at the same time, but consider that there is only one point map. So, the two
protocols use the same data mapping, i.e., same point index and same point source.
The relay supports up to two IEC104 client connections simultaneously.

By default the Object Information Address for the different data is as follows:
M_SP (Single Points) = 1000
M_ME (Measured value) = 2000
M_IT (Integrated Totals) = 3000
C_SC or C_DC (Single or Double Command) = 4000
P_ME_NB (Parameter of measured value) = 5000
Each Measured value has a Parameter of measured value (P_ME_NB) associated to its threshold.
The IEC 60870-5-104 Deadbands settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses
containing M_ME_NB_1 analog data. Each setting represents the threshold value for each M_ME_NB_1 analog
point.
For example, to trigger spontaneous responses when a current value changes by 15 A, the Analog Point xx
Deadband setting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands.
P_ME_NB_1 (parameter of measured value, scaled value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the
default, for each individual M_ME_NB_1 analog point. There are three ways to send the measurands to the Master
station. The measurands are part of the General Group and Group 2, so when a general interrogation or group 2
interrogation takes place all the measurands are included in the response. Also, there is a cyclic data period setting
where it is configured in the scan period to send the measurands to the Master. And the last way, is by sending
spontaneously when a deadband overflow takes place. The IEC104 Channels sub-menu information is shown
below.
Commands are executed over the Binary Outputs. The first 8 Binary Outputs are configured to receive Select/
Operate Commands and the next 8 Binary Outputs are configured to receive Direct Execute Commands.
The IEC104 CHANNEL 1 PORT and IEC104 CHANNEL 2 PORT settings select the communications port assigned
to the IEC104 protocol for each channel. When this setting is set to Network - TCP, the IEC104 protocol can be
used over TCP/IP on channels 1 or 2. The IEC104 NETWORK CLIENT ADDRESS settings can force the relay to
respond to a maximum of two specific IEC104 masters which own the configured IP Addresses. The settings in this
sub-menu are shown below.
178 1601-0450
Note:
IEC104 CHANNEL 1 PORT takes the Port Number 1 and Client Address 1 to allow or reject connections. The same
method is used by channel 2.
GROUPS OF DATA
The data is organized into groups in order to provide values when the controlling station requests them by a general
or group interrogation.
Group 1 is set by the 96 Single Points (M_SP).
Group 2 is set by the 32 Measured values (M_ME).
Group 3 is set by the 32 Measured thresholds (P_ME).
These 96 Single Points and 32 Measured Values are also sent as a response to a General Interrogation.
The Integrated Totals (M_IT) has its own Counter Group 1, and it is sent as a response to a General Request
Counter.
5.6.10 IEC60870-5-103
The point map for the 103 is different from the one shared by the IEC104 and DNP protocols. IEC 60870-5-103
serial communications protocol is supported on the rear RS485 port only.
The DNP, IEC 103 and Modbus cannot be enabled simultaneously. Only one instance of DNP 3.0, IEC 103 or
Modbus can run on the RS485 serial port.

All binary inputs are configured from FlexLogic operands. For a complete list, see Format Code FC142.
Note:
Pay attention when configuring the function type and information number of the different points, because they must be unique.
There is no mechanism in the EnerVista D&I Setup software or the front panel HMI to detect duplication of the information
index.
The IEC 60870-5-103 point lists always begin with point 0 and end at the first Off value. Since IEC 60870-5-103 point lists
must be in one continuous block, any points assigned after the first Off point are ignored.
5.6.11 IEC 61850

The optional communications processor supports both the IEC 61850 GOOSE and IEC 61850 MMS Server service
as per IEC 61850 standard Ed. 2. The GOOSE messaging service provides the ability for the relay to Publish/
Subscribe Digital Input and other element statuses and its Quality and Timestamp to/from other IEDs with
supporting GOOSE messaging service. Server support allows remote control center, RTU/Gateway, local HMI or
1601-0450 179
other client role devices access to the relay for monitoring and control. The configuration of IEC 61850 services is
accomplished using the EnerVista D&I Setup software.
The IEC 61850 Server (i.e. the relay) reports information to the IEC 61850 Client, such as the Local HMI, RTU and
Gateway. This information consists of logical device data, data sets, data control block, logical nodes and their data
attributes.
Appendix B lists the implementation details of IEC 61850, including the logical nodes and number of instances for
each that are supported..

5.6.11.1 IEC61850 CONFIGURATOR

The relay supports the IEC 61850 protocol, which is an order code option.
The IEC 61850 configurator is found in both the online and offline section of the EnerVista D&I Setup software for
configuring the online and offline settings file respectively.
ONLINE SETTINGS FILE

Two options are available to configure the relay’s online settings file.
1. Configuration
○ Configure the device through the Device Setup or Quick connect screen.
○ The IEC 61850 Configurator item is displayed after Maintenance.
○ Launch the online IEC 61850 configurator screen, by double-clicking on IEC61850 Configurator.
○ Select the required settings from the different tab displays (in the configurator screen) to complete the
IEC 61850 configuration.
2. Online right-click option
○ Select any online relay and right click on the selected item. More options become available for
selection, as described below.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
180 1601-0450
Generate ICD file: The menu option generates a default ICD file with the respective order code option and saves
the file to the path selected previously.
Read Device Settings: The menu option reads all the settings from the relay by TFTP and creates a file with
extension *.CID. The created *.CID file consists of two sections. A private section where all non IEC 61850 settings
are available, and a public section in which IEC 61850 related settings are implemented.
When creating a CID file using a 3rd party ICT/SCL tool, ensure the following:
● The order code in the CID file must match the device order code if writing the CID file directly into the relay.
The Desc value in communication settings of the CID file must match the relay’s order code.
● The maximum allowed services must be equal or below the specified limits as in ICD/CID.
● Configure Datasets only in LLN0 logical node.
● Creating new LD, LN, and communication-AP settings is not recommended.
OFFLINE SETTINGS FILE

The Generate ICD File menu option generates a default ICD file with the respective order code option and saves
the file to the path selected previously.
1601-0450 181
IEC 61850 CONFIGURATOR DETAILS

The IEC61850 Configurator allows editing of all sections of the IEC 61850 CID and ICD file. No other operations
can be performed in the EnerVista D&I Setup software if the IEC61850 Configurator is open. Close the IEC 61850
session to perform other operations.
Note:
When the IEC 61850 configuration is saved while online, the DEVICE IN SERVICE state (Setpoints > Device > Installation)
switches to Not Ready for the duration of the upload. This ensures that all new settings are applied before the device is
operational.
The IEC61850 Configurator consists of five sections:

● ICD/CID
● Settings
● Reports
● GOOSE Reception
● GOOSE Transmission

5.7 TRANSIENT RECORDER

The Transient Recorder contains waveforms captured at the same sampling rate as the other relay data at the point
of trigger. By default, data is captured for all AC current and voltage inputs available on the relay as ordered.
Transient record is generated upon change of state of at least one of the assigned triggers: Trigger Source,
Trigger on Any Pickup, Trigger on Any Operate, Trigger on Alarm, or Trigger on Trip.
The number of cycles captured in a single transient record varies based on the number of records, sample rate, and
the number of selected channels. There is a fixed amount of data storage for the Transient Recorder: the more data
captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Transient Recorder
NUMBER OF RECORDS
Default: 5
The selection from the range defines the desired number of records.
SAMPLES PER CYCLE

Range: 8/c, 16/c, 32/c, 64/c, 128/c
Default: 32/c
This setpoint provides a selection of samples-per-cycle for representing the waveform. The waveform records
can be viewed using the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
TRIGGER MODE
Range: Overwrite, Protected
Default: Overwrite
When Overwrite setting is selected, the new records overwrite the old ones, meaning the relay will always
keep the newest records as per the selected number of records. In Protected mode, the relay will keep the
number of records corresponding to the selected number of records, without saving further records that are
beyond the selected number of records.
TRIGGER POSITION
Range: 0 to 100% in steps of 1%
Default: 20%
This setting indicates the location of the trigger with respect to the selected length of record. For example at 20%
selected trigger position, the length of each record will be split on 20% pre-trigger data, and 80% post-trigger
data.
TRIGGER SOURCE:
Default: Off
The trigger source can be any digital input: an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands, a contact input, a
contact output, a virtual input or output, or a remote input or output.
1601-0450 183
TRIGGER ON ANY PICKUP

Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selection of On enables triggering of the recorder upon pickup condition detected by any of the protection or
control elements.
TRIGGER ON ANY OPERATE

Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selection of On enables triggering of the recorder upon operate state of any of the enabled protection or control
elements.
TRIGGER ON TRIP
Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selecting the On setting enables triggering of the recorder when any of the protection elements configured as a
Trip function operates, or the state of the operand assigned to operate the #1 Trip output relay changes to
High.
TRIGGER ON ALARM
Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selecting On setting enables triggering of the recorder when any of the protection elements configured as
Alarm, or Latched Alarm function operates, or the state of the operand assigned to trigger the Alarm LED
changes to High.
DIGITAL INPUT 1 to 64
Default: Off
ANALOG INPUT 1 to 16
Range: Off, Any FlexLogic analog parameter
Default: Off
Note:
A consecutive transient record cannot be triggered until the first record has been completed.
