Prepare the Relay
Upgrade
Procedure
A Prepare the Relay
Step 1. If the relay is in service, follow your company practices for
removing a relay from service.
Typically, these include changing settings or disconnecting
external voltage sources or output contact wiring to disable
relay control functions.
Step 2. Apply power to your relay.
Step 3. From the relay front panel, press the
{SET}
pushbutton.
Step 4. Use the arrow pushbuttons to navigate to PORT.
Step 5. Press the
{SELECT}
pushbutton.
Step 6. Use the arrow pushbuttons to navigate to the relay serial port
you plan to use.
Step 7. Press the
{SELECT}
pushbutton.
Step 8. With SHOW selected, press the
{SELECT}
pushbutton.
Step 9. Press the down arrow pushbutton to scroll through the port
settings and keep a written record of the value for each setting.
You will use many of these settings later in the upgrade
procedure.
Step 10. At the EXIT SETTINGS? prompt, highlight “Yes” and press
the
{SELECT}
pushbutton.
Step 11. Connect an SEL-C234A (or equivalent) serial communications
cable to the relay serial port you identified in
above.
B Establish Terminal Connection
To establish communication between your relay and a personal computer, you
must be able to modify your serial communications parameters (i.e., data
transmission rate, data bits, parity), disable any hardware or software flow
control in your computer terminal emulation software, and transfer files with
the 1K XMODEM or XMODEM protocol.
Step 1. Connect a serial communications cable to the computer serial
port.
a. Check the back of your computer for a label identifying
the serial communications ports.
b. Choose a port and connect an SEL-C234A (or
equivalent) serial communications cable to the personal
computer serial port.
If there is no identification label, connect the cable to
any computer serial port. Note that you might later
change this computer serial port selection to establish
communication between your relay and your computer
if this connection is unsuccessful.
Step 2. Disconnect any other serial port connection.
