APPLICATION
PROGRAM
FIRMWARE
VERSION
Change
2.52.01/10-01-01
1.51.00/3-1-01
Added real time clock with 8 hour capacitor backup on all BE1-951 version 2
relays.
Added support for 4000 point load profile demand log and battery backup for
real time clock.
Added or revised the following protection and control functions:
Added the 32 overpower element
Added the 159X auxiliary Overvoltage element
Added the 86 and 186 virtual lockout switches
Updated the 25 Sync-Check so that when operating in FG > BF mode, a
minimum slip frequency is required for a sync output.
Updated the 67 function to be user selectable for reference and tripping
elements.
Added or revised the following reporting and alarm functions:
The relay now performs a 2-cycle pre-dropout fault recording for use when
the 951 does not trip.
1.50.02/7-17-00
Added or revised the following protection and control functions:
Corrected bug in 25VM, Sync Check Voltage Monitor function logic.
Revised the 60FL, VT Fuse Loss function logic. Old algorithm required
breaker status to be true “closed” to enable the function.
Corrected bug in automatic setting group selection associated with changing
groups based upon recloser shot counter.
Added or revised the following reporting and alarm functions:
Revised target display function for the front panel HMI to include Distance to
Fault.
1.50.01/6-12-00
Added or revised the following protection and control functions:
Revised 60FL function. Reduced fixed time delay from 100 mSec to 50
mSec and coordinated order of processing of this functions with voltage
tripping functions that it supervises.
Revised the 81, Over/Under frequency function logic. Old algorithm
allowed a trip on two consecutive cycles beyond the threshold setting.
Added or revised the following communications functions:
Revised DNP3 protocol to pass level 2 compliance testing.
