Communications Interfaces
Section 15: Communications Interfaces
through
the SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual
describes the various communica-
tions interfaces and protocols used in SEL-400 series relays. This section
describes aspects of the communications protocols that are unique to the
SEL-421. The following topics are discussed:

Communications Database
The SEL-421 maintains a database to describe itself to external devices via the
Fast Message Data Access protocol. This database includes a variety of data
within the relay that are available to devices connected in a serial or Ethernet net-
work. The database includes the regions and data described in
. Use the
MAP
and
VIEW
commands to display maps and contents of the database
regions. See
Section 9: ASCII Command Reference
for more information on the
MAP
and
VIEW
commands.
Data within the regions are available for access by external devices via the SEL
Fast Message protocol.
The LOCAL region contains the device FID, SID, and RID. It will also provide
appropriate status points. This region is updated on settings changes and when-
ever monitored status points change (see
).
