Functions and Function Codes
In the messages shown below, all numbers are in hexadecimal unless
otherwise noted.
0x01 - Function Code:
Enable Unsolicited
Data Transfer
Upon power-up, the SEL-387 disables its own unsolicited transmissions. This
function enables the SEL-387 to begin sending unsolicited data to the device
which sent the enable message, if the SEL-387 has such data to transfer. The
message format for function code 0x01 is shown below.
The SEL-387 verifies the message by checking the header, length, function
code, and enabled function code against the expected values. It also checks the
entire message against the CRC-16 field. If any of the checks fail, except the
function code or the function to enable, the message is ignored.
If an acknowledge is requested as indicated by the least significant bit of the
status byte, the relay transmits an acknowledge message with the same
response number received in the enable message.
The “nn” field is used to set the maximum number of SER records per
message. The relay checks for SER records approximately every 500 ms. If
there are new records available, the relay immediately creates a new
unsolicited SER message and transmits it. If there are more than “nn” new
records available, or if the first and last records are separated by more than 16
seconds, the relay will break the transmission into multiple messages so that
no message contains more than “nn” records, and the first and last records of
each message are separated by no more than 16 seconds.
If the function to enable is not 18 or the function code is not recognized, the
relay responds with an acknowledge message containing a response code 01
(function code unrecognized), and no functions are enabled. If the SER
triggers are disabled, (SER1, SER2, SER3, and SER4 are all set to NA), the
unsolicited SER messages are still enabled, but the only SER records
generated result from settings changes and power being applied to the relay. If
the SER1, SER2, SER3, or SER4 settings subsequently change to any non-
NA value and SER entries trigger, unsolicited SER messages will generate
with the new SER records.
