This chapter is designed for the person or group
responsible for both the local and remote operation
and setting of the relay using either M-3810A
IPScom for Windows or M-3811A IPScom for Palm
OS Communications Software. This chapter also
addresses unit battery replacement, and conversion
of oscillograph files to COMTRADE format.
4.1
General Information
The M-3410A Intertie/Generator Protection Relay
provides two serial communication ports. Serial
communication port COM1 is a standard 9-pin,
RS-232, DTE-configured port. The front-panel port,
COM1, can be used to locally set and interrogate
the relay using a temporary connection to a PC or
laptop computer, Handspring™ Visor™ or Palm
OS handheld unit.
The second serial communication port, COM2, is
located at the rear of the unit. COM2 can be
configured as a standard, 9-pin RS-232, DTE port,
or as a 4-wire RS-485 port (see Chapter 2,
Installation
, for port configuration). Either port COM1
or COM2 may be used to remotely set and
interrogate the relay using a modem or other direct
serial connection.
Equipment such as RTU’s, data concentrators,
modems, or computers can be interfaced for direct,
on-line, real time data acquisition and control.
Communication Protocol
MODBUS communication protocol is implemented
in the relay. Only the RTU mode of the MODBUS
protocol is supported. The following functions are
implemented in IPScom using MODBUS protocol:
•
Real-time monitoring of measured
parameters
•
Interrogation and modification of setpoints
•
Downloading of recorded oscillographic
data and sequence of events data
•
Reconfiguration of all relay functions
Direct Connection
In order for IPScom to communicate with the relay
using direct serial connection, a serial “null modem”
cable is required, with a 9-pin connector (DB9P) for
the system, and an applicable connector for the
computer (usually DB9S or DB25S). Pin-outs for a
null modem adapter are provided in Appendix B,
Communications
.
