SEL-787 Relay

Communications
Instructi on Manual
Overview
A communications interface and protocol are required for communicating
with the SEL-787 Transformer Protection Relay. A communications interface
is the physical connection on a device. Once you have established a physical
connection, you must use a communications protocol to interact with the
relay.
The first part of this section describes communications interfaces and
protocols available with the relay, including communication interface
connections. The remainder of the section describes the ASCII commands you
can use to communicate with the relay to obtain information, reports, data, or
perform control functions.
Communications Interfaces
The SEL-787 physical interfaces are shown in
. Several optional SEL
devices are available to provide alternative physical interfaces, including
EIA-485, EIA-232 fiber-optic serial port, copper or fiber Ethernet
®
port,
single or dual redundant.
Be sure to evaluate the installation and communications necessary to integrate
with existing devices before ordering your SEL-787. For example, consider
the fiber-optic interface in noisy installations or for large communications
