UR Family Firmware 5.83 - Release Notes
19
GE tracking number: 720-44
Platform
M Transduced outputs have been modified to show the accurate values when used to represent fault
location
Products: B30, B90, C30, C60, C70, D30, D60, F35, F60, G30, G60, L30, L60, L90, M60, N60, T35, T60
Corrected firmware: 5.83, 6.01
Workaround: None
Description: The UR Transducer output elements “DCMA Outputs” can be programmed to represent a
number of analog values available in the UR relay. One of the choices is fault location (distance to fault).
Relays with previous firmware versions show transduced distance to fault values that do not match the
calculated distance. This firmware version makes DCMA output elements use the “line length” setting as
the element’s base unit when a DCmA output is used to represent fault location, thus providing accurate
transduced fault location. This firmware change only affects users who have configured the UR DCmA
outputs to represent fault location.

E
Loopback mode has been enhanced to allow channel monitoring
Products: L30, L90
Corrected firmware: 5.83, 6.01
Workaround: None
Description: Upon detection of a loopback test, a UR device goes into Loopback Mode which, among other
elements, disables the channel monitoring. Without channel monitoring commissioning or
troubleshooting, procedures with loopback tests can become complex. This firmware version changes the
UR devices loopback mode to allow channel monitoring while a loopback test is performed. This allows
users access to the channel status data (channel 1/2 status, number of lost packets, and so on), which
simplifies commissioning and/or troubleshooting procedures.
GE tracking number: 601-04
C
Logic of the Latching type Contact outputs has been modified to ensure contact outputs correctly exit
from Test Mode
Products: B30, B90, C30, C60, C70, D30, D60, F35, F60, G30, G60, L30, L60, L90, M60, N60, T35, T60
Corrected firmware: 5.83, 5.90
Workaround: None
Description: The UR test mode functionality allows users to force the actual state of programmable
contact outputs. However, latching type contact outputs found in the I/O modules did not update their
state to the real condition when returning from Test Mode. This FW version ensures the latching type
contact outputs effectively update their state to the actual device condition after coming back from Test
Mode.

E
Brick firmware has been changed to improve the resilience against Flash memory corruption
Products: B30, B90, C30, C60, C70, D30, D60, F35, F60, G30, G60, L30, L60, L90, M60, N60, T35, T60
Corrected firmware: 5.83, 6.01
Workaround: None
Description: HardFiber Brick firmware has improved resiliency against Flash memory corruption during
