The relay collects, stores, and calculates a variety of data. These include electri-
cal power system measurements, calculated quantities, diagnostic data, equip-
ment monitoring data, fault oscillography, and sequential event reports. You must
enter settings to configure the relay to protect and monitor your power system
properly. A communications interface is the physical connection on the relay that
you can use to collect data from the relay, set the relay, and perform relay test and
diagnostic functions.
The relay has three rear-panel serial ports and one front-panel serial port. These
serial ports conform to the EIA-232 standard (often called RS-232). Several
optional SEL devices are available to provide alternative physical interfaces,
including EIA-485 and fiber-optic cable. The relay also has a Ethernet card slot
for the optional Ethernet card.
Once you have established a physical connection, you must use a communica-
tions protocol to interact with the relay. A communications protocol is a language
that you can use to perform relay operations and collect data. For information on
protocols that you can use with the relay, see the instruction manual sections
listed in
.
