5.6.1 OVERVIEW
Control elements are generally used for control rather than protection. See the
Introduction to Elements
section at the
beginning of this chapter for further information.

SETTINGS GROUPS
The setting groups menu controls the activation/deactivation of up to six possible groups of settings in the
GROUPED ELE-
MENTS
settings menu. The faceplate Settings In Use LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized LED)
is in service.
The
SETTING GROUPS BLK
setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic™ parameter is set to
"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.
The
GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON
to
GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON
settings select a FlexLogic™ operand which, when set, will make the
particular setting group active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a
given time – the highest-numbered group which is activated by its
ACTIVATE ON
parameter takes priority over the lower-
numbered groups. There is no activate on setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically
becomes active if no other group is active.
The
SETTING GROUP 1 NAME
to
SETTING GROUP 6 NAME
settings allows to user to assign a name to each of the six settings
groups. Once programmed, this name will appear on the second line of the

menu display.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic™ equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default
settings group. The following FlexLogic™ equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications
(for example,
VIRTUAL INPUT 1 ON
) or from a local contact input (for example,
CONTACT IP 1 ON
) to initiate the use of a par-
ticular settings group, and requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular
settings group. The assigned
VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1
operand is used to control the “On” state of a particular settings group.
