SEL Communications Protocols
The SEL-749M Relay supports SEL protocols and command sets shown in
SEL ASCII Commands
We originally designed SEL ASCII commands for communication between
the relay and a human operator via a keyboard and monitor or a printing
terminal. A computer with a serial port can also use the SEL ASCII protocol
to communicate with the relay, collect data, and issue commands.
SEL Compressed
ASCII Commands
The relay supports a subset of SEL ASCII commands identified as
Compressed ASCII commands. Each of these commands results in a comma-
delimited message that includes a checksum field. Most spreadsheet and
database programs can directly import comma-delimited files. Devices with
embedded processors connected to the relay can execute software to parse and
interpret comma-delimited messages without expending the customization
and maintenance labor needed to interpret nondelimited messages. The relay
calculates a checksum for each line by numerically summing all of the bytes
that precede the checksum field in the message. The program that uses the
data can detect transmission errors in the message by summing the characters
of the received message and comparing this sum to the received checksum.
Most commands are available only in SEL ASCII or Compressed ASCII
format. Selected commands have versions in both standard SEL ASCII and
Compressed ASCII formats. Compressed ASCII reports generally have fewer
characters than conventional SEL ASCII reports because the compressed
reports reduce blanks, tabs, and other white space between data fields to a
single comma.

Description
SEL ASCII
Use this protocol to send ASCII commands
and receive ASCII responses that are human
readable with an appropriate terminal emulation program.
SEL Compressed ASCII
Use this protocol to send ASCII commands
and receive Compressed ASCII responses that are comma-
delimited for use with spreadsheet and database
programs or for use by intelligent electronic devices.
SEL Fast Meter
Use this protocol to send binary commands
and receive binary meter and target responses.
SEL Fast Operate
Use this protocol to receive binary control commands.
SEL Fast SER
Use this protocol to receive binary
Sequential Events Recorder unsolicited responses.
