1. GETTING STARTED

1.1 User interfaces and menu structure


The settings and functions of the MiCOM protection relay can be accessed both from the
front panel keypad and LCD, and via the front and rear communication ports. Information on
each of these methods is given in this section to describe how to start using the relay.

1.2 Introduction to the relay

1.2.1 Front panel


The front panel of the relay is shown in Figure 1, with the hinged covers at the top and
bottom of the relay shown open. Extra physical protection for the front panel can be
provided by an optional transparent front cover. With the cover in place read only access to
the user interface is possible. Removal of the cover does not compromise the environmental
withstand capability of the product, but allows access to the relay settings. When full access
to the relay keypad is required, for editing the settings, the transparent cover can be
unclipped and removed when the top and bottom covers are open. If the lower cover is GS
secured with a wire seal, this will need to be removed. Using the side flanges of the
transparent cover, pull the bottom edge away from the relay front panel until it is clear of the
seal tab. The cover can then be moved vertically down to release the two fixing lugs from
their recesses in the front panel.

The front panel of the relay includes the following, as indicated in Figure 1:

− A 20-character by 4-line alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD)

− A 7-key keypad comprising 4 arrow keys (, , and ), an enter key
(), a clear key () and a read key ()

− 17 LEDs; 5 fixed function LEDs and 12 programmable function LEDs on the right hand
side

− Under the top hinged cover:

− The relay serial number, and the relay’s current and voltage rating information

− Under the bottom hinged cover:

− A 9-pin female D-type front port for communication with a PC locally to the relay
(up to 15m distance) via an EIA(RS)232 serial data connection

1.2.1.1 LED indications


GS
Fixed Function
The 5 fixed function LEDs on the left-hand side of the front panel are used to indicate the
following conditions:

LED Number Color Description Default Signals


H4 Red TRIP MAIN: Gen Trip Signal
H3 Yellow ALARM CHECK: Alarm (LED)
H2 Yellow OUT OF SERVICE MAIN: Blocked/Faulty
H1 Green HEALTHY Internal fixed
H17 Red EDIT MODE Internal fixed

Trip (Red) indicates that the relay has issued a trip signal. It is reset when the associated
fault record is cleared from the front display. (Alternatively the trip LED can be configured to
be self-resetting)*.
Alarm (Yellow) flashes to indicate that the relay has registered an alarm. This may be
triggered by a fault, event or maintenance record. The LED will flash until the alarms have
been accepted (read), after which the LED will change to constant illumination, and will
extinguish, when the alarms have been cleared.
Out of service (Yellow) indicates that the relay’s protection is unavailable.
Healthy (Green) indicates that the relay is in correct working order, and should be on at all
times. It will be extinguished if the relay’s self-test facilities indicate that there is an error with
the relay’s hardware or software. The state of the healthy LED is reflected by the watchdog
contact at the back of the relay.
Edit Mode (Red) indicates the fact that the user is in the “Edit Mode”. In this mode, settings
can be changed.

The P63x design version can be determined from the order number. A breakdown of the
order number is given in the Introduction - IT section of this manual and in the Supporting
Documents supplied with the unit.
Once the ratings have been verified for the application, connect external power capable of
delivering the requirements specified on the label to perform the relay familiarization
procedures. Figure 2 and 3 indicates the location of the power supply terminals but please
refer to the wiring diagrams in the Installation - IN section for complete installation details
ensuring that the correct polarities are observed in the case of dc supply.

1.4 Introduction to the user interfaces and settings options


The relay has the following user interfaces:

− The front panel user interface via the LCD and keypad

− The front port which supports IEC 60870-5-103 communication

− An optional rear communications module which supports one protocol of either


GS Courier, MODBUS, IEC 60870-5-103 or DNP3.0. The protocol for the rear port is
selected via settings. This module may also include a second rear port supporting
IEC 60870-5-103 protocol only.

− An optional rear Ethernet communications module supporting IEC 61850 protocol

1.5 HMI

1.5.1 Local control panel


All data required for operation of the protection device are entered from the local control
panel, and the data important for system management are read out there as well. The
following tasks can be handled from the local control panel:

• Readout and modification of settings

• Readout of cyclically updated measured operating data and logic state signals

• Readout of operating data logs and of monitoring signal logs

• Readout of event logs after overload situations, ground faults, or short-circuits in the
power system

• Resetting of the device and triggering of additional control functions designed to support
testing and commissioning tasks
In addition, control via the PC interface is also possible. This requires a suitable PC and the
operating program S&R-103 for Windows.

1.5.2 Display and keypad


Control and display elements
The local control panel consists of an LCD display containing 4 x 20 alphanumeric
characters, seven function keys positioned below the display, and 17 LED indicators.

1.5.3 Display levels


All data relevant for operation as well as the device settings are displayed on two levels. At
the Panel level, data such as measured operating data are displayed in display Panels that
provide a quick overview of the current state of the bay. The menu tree level below the
Panel level allows the user to select all data points (settings, signals, measured variables,
etc.) and to change them, if appropriate. To access a selected event recording from either
the Panel level or from any other point in the menu tree, press the READ key, .

1.5.4 Display panels


The P63x can display ‘Measured Value Panels’ that can be called up at any given time, as
appropriate.
Selected measured values are displayed on the Measured Value Panels. The system
condition determines which Panel is called up (examples are the Operation Panel and the
Fault Panel). Only the Measured Value Panels relevant for the design version of the given
unit and its associated range of functions are actually available. The Operation Panel is
always available.

1.5.5 Menu tree and data points


All data points (setting values, signals, measured values, etc.) are selected using a menu
tree. As the user navigates through the menu tree, the first two lines of the LCD display
always show the branch of the menu tree that is active, as selected by the user. The data
points are accessed at the lowest level of a menu tree branch. They are displayed either
with their plain text description or in numerically coded form, as selected by the user. The
value associated with the selected data point, its meaning, and its unit of measurement are
displayed in the line below.

1.5.6 List data points


List data points are a special category. In contrast to other data points, list data points
generally have more than one value element associated with them. This category includes
tripping matrices, programmable logic functions, and event logs. When a list data point is
selected, the symbol ‘↓’ is displayed in the bottom line of the LCD display, indicating that
there is another level below the displayed level. The individual value elements of a list data
point are found at the lower level. In the case of a list setting, the individual value elements
are linked by operators such as ‘OR’.

1.6.2 Control at the panel level


The measured values to be displayed on the Measured Value Panels can first be selected at
‘Set/Conf/HMI’ in the menu tree. The user can select different sets of measured values for
the Measurements + Tests Panel, the Overload Panel, the Ground Fault Panel, and the
Fault Panel. Only the Measured Value Panels relevant for the design version of the given
unit and its associated range of functions are actually available. The Measurements + Tests
Panel can be selected at any time. Please see ‘Setting a List Setting’ for instructions
regarding selection. If the user has selected MAIN: Disabled for a Panel, then this Panel
will be inactive.
The Measured Value Panels are called up in accordance with system conditions. If, for
example, the unit detects an overload or a ground fault, then the corresponding Measured
Value Panel will be displayed as long as the overload or ground fault situation exists. If the
unit detects a fault, then the Fault Panel is displayed and remains active until the measured
fault values are reset - by pressing the CLEAR  key, for example.

Folders and Function Groups
All data points are grouped in function groups according to the function they are associated
with and are also organized in different folders based on practical control requirements.
The menu tree begins with the device type at the top and then branches out below into the
three main folders entitled Settings, Measurements + Tests, and Fault + Event Record,
which form the first folder level. Below the first folder level are two more folder levels, so that
the entire folder structure consists of three main branches and a maximum of three folder
levels.
At the bottom of each branch of folders, below the folder levels, are the various function
groups in which the individual data points are combined.

Switching Between Address Mode and Plain Text Mode
The display on the local control panel can be switched between address mode and plain text
mode. In the address mode the display shows setting settings, signals, and measured
values in numerically coded form, that is, as addresses. In plain text mode the setting
settings, signals, and measured values are displayed in the form of plain text descriptions.
In either case, control is guided by the menu tree. The active branch of the menu tree is
displayed in plain text in both modes. In the following examples, the display is shown in only
plain text mode.

Automatic Return
The automatic return function prevents the change-enabling function from remaining
activated after a change of settings has been completed. Once the set return time (menu
tree ‘Set/Conf/HMI’) has elapsed, the change-enabling function is automatically deactivated,
and the display switches to a Measured Value Panel corresponding to the current system
condition. The return time is restarted when any of the control keys is pressed.
Forced Return
The return described above can be forced from the local control panel by first pressing the
Up key and then holding it down while pressing the CLEAR key.

Note: It is important to press the Up key first and release it last in order to
avoid unintentional deletion of stored data.
Even when the change-enabling function is activated, not all settings can be changed. For
some settings it is also necessary to disable the protective function (menu tree:
Set/Func/Glob/MAIN, “Protection Enabled”). Such settings include the configuration
GS settings, by means of which the device interfaces can be adapted to the system. The
following entries in the ”Change” column of the address list (see appendix) indicate whether
values can be changed or not:
… "on": The value can be changed even when the protective function is enabled.
… "off": The value can only be changed when the protective function is disabled.
… "-": The value can be read out but cannot be changed.
The device is factory-set so that the protection functions are disabled.

Setting a List Setting GS


Using list settings, the user is able to select several elements from a list in order to perform
tasks such as defining a trip command or defining the measured values that will be displayed
on Measured Value Panels. The maximum possible number ’m’ that can be selected out of
the total number ’n’ of the set is given in the address list in the ’Remarks’ column. As a rule,
the selected elements are linked by an ‘OR’ operator. Other operators (NOT, OR, AND,
NOT OR and NOT AND) are available in the LOGIC function group for linking the selected
list items. In this way binary signals and binary input signals can be processed in a Boolean
equation tailored to meet user requirements. For the DNP 3.0 communication protocol, the
user defines the class of a setting instead of assigning operators. The definition of a trip
command shall be used here as an example to illustrate the setting of a list setting.

Resetting
All information memories - including the event memories and the monitoring signal memory -
and also the LED indicators can be reset manually. In addition, the LED indicators are
automatically cleared and initialized at the onset of a new fault - provided that the
appropriate operating mode has been selected - so that they always indicate the latest fault.
The LED indicators can also be reset manually by pressing the CLEAR key, which is always GS
possible in the standard control mode. This action also triggers an LED indicator test and an
LCD display test. The event memories are not affected by this action, so that inadvertent
deletion of the records associated with the reset signal pattern is reliably prevented.
Because of the ring structure of the event memories, the data for eight consecutive events
are updated automatically so that manual resetting should not be necessary, in principle. If
the event memories need to be cleared completely, however, as would be the case after
functional testing, this can be done after selecting the appropriate setting. The resetting
procedure will now be illustrated using the fault memory as an example. In this example the
global change-enabling function has already been activated.

Certain actions from the local HMI (such as a manual trip command for testing purposes)
can only be carried out by entering a password. This setup is designed to prevent accidental
output and applies even when the global change-enabling function has been activated.
The password consists of a pre-defined sequential key combination entered within a specific

1.8 Front communication port user interface


The front communication port is provided by a 9-pin female D-type connector located under
the bottom hinged cover. It provides EIA(RS)232 serial data communication and is intended
for use with a PC locally to the relay (up to 15m distance) as shown in Figure 7. This port
supports the IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol only. The front port is particularly
designed for use with the relay settings program MiCOM S1 that is a Windows 98, Windows
NT4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows XP based software package.

Figure 9: Front port connection


The relay is a Data Communication Equipment (DCE) device. Thus the pin connections of
the relay’s 9-pin front port are as follows:
Pin no. 2 Tx Transmit data
Pin no. 3 Rx Receive data
Pin no. 5 0V Zero volts common
None of the other pins are connected in the relay. The relay should be connected to the
serial port of a PC, usually called COM1 or COM2. PCs are normally Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) devices which have a serial port pin connection as below (if in doubt check
your PC manual):
25 Way 9 Way
Pin no. 2 3 2 Rx Receive data
Pin no. 3 2 3 Tx Transmit data
Pin no. 5 7 5 0V Zero volts common
For successful data communication, the Tx pin on the relay must be connected to the Rx pin
on the PC, and the Rx pin on the relay must be connected to the Tx pin on the PC, as shown
in Figure 7. Therefore, providing that the PC is a DTE with pin connections as given above,
a ‘straight through’ serial connector is required, i.e. one that connects pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to
pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5. Note that a common cause of difficulty with serial data
communication is connecting Tx to Tx and Rx to Rx. This could happen if a ‘cross-over’
serial connector is used, i.e. one that connects pin 2 to pin 3, and pin 3 to pin 2, or if the PC
has the same pin configuration as the relay.
