ASCII Serial Port Operation
Introduction
You can interact with the SEL-701 Relay through the front-panel interface or the
serial port interface. This section describes the connections and commands used with
the serial port interface; the front-panel interface is discussed in
Section 5: Front-Panel
Operation .
The serial port interface provides an efficient way to transfer relay settings using
the SEL-701PC software. The serial port also provides the only way to retrieve some of
the extensive data that the relay stores. Use a PC connected to the relay front-panel
serial port to download the following information:
Load Profile data.
Motor Start reports.
Motor Start Trend reports.
15-Cycle Event Reports for fault and oscillographic analysis.
Sequential Events Recorder (SER) reports for fault analysis.
The first three of these items are described in Section 8: Metering & Monitoring ;
the last two are discussed in Section 9: Event Analysis .
