Events and registers
The non-directional earth fault function (abbreviated "NEF" in event block names) generates events and
registers from the status changes in START, TRIP and BLOCKED. The user can select which event
messages are stored in the main event buffer: ON, OFF, or both. The function offers four (4)
independent stages; the events are segregated for each stage operation.
The events triggered by the function are recorded with a time stamp and with process data values.
