calculated analog values in the relay to create display
messages for system metering on the front-panel LCD.

Control Equations With
Expanded Capabilities and Aliases
Expanded SEL
OGIC
control equations (Table 6) put relay
logic in the hands of the protection engineer. Assign the
relay inputs to suit your application, logically combine
selected relay elements for various control functions, and
assign outputs to your logic functions. Programming
SEL
OGIC
control equations consists of combining relay
elements, inputs, and outputs with SEL
OGIC
control
equation operators. You can use any of the relay internal
variables (Relay Word bits) in these equations. For
complex or unique applications, these expanded
SEL
OGIC
control equation functions allow superior
flexibility. Add programmable control functions to your
protection and automation systems. New functions and
capabilities enable you to use analog values in
conditional logic statements. Use the new alias capability
to assign more meaningful relay variable names. This
improves the readability of customized programming.
Use as many as 200 aliases to rename any digital or
analog quantity. The following is an example of possible
applications of SEL
OGIC
control equations using aliases:
=>>SET T <Enter>
1: PMV01,THETA
(assign the alias “THETA” to math variable PMV01)
2: PMV02,TAN
(assign the alias “TAN” to math variable PMV02)
=>>SET L <Enter>
1: # CALCULATE THE TANGENT OF THETA
2: TAN:=SIN(THETA)/COS(THETA)
(use the aliases in an equation)

to develop settings and busbar configurations offline.
The system automatically checks interrelated settings
and highlights out-of-range settings. You can transfer
settings you create offline by using a PC
communications link with the SEL-487B. The relay
converts event reports to oscillograms with time-
coordinated element assertion and phasor diagrams. The

be used to open COMTRADE files from SEL and other

design application-specific settings templates and then
store the templates in non-volatile memory within the
relay for trouble-free retrieval.

Communications
The SEL patented M
IRRORED
B
ITS
technology provides
bidirectional relay-to-relay digital communication.
Figure 25 shows two SEL-487B relays with M
IRRORED

ITS
communications using SEL-2815 Fiber-Optic
Transceivers. In the SEL-487B, M
IRRORED
B
ITS
com-
munications can operate simultaneously on any two
serial ports. This bidirectional digital communication
creates additional outputs (transmitted M
IRRORED
B
ITS
)
and additional inputs (received M
IRRORED
B
ITS
) for each
serial port operating in the M
IRRORED
B
ITS
communica-
tions mode.
Communicated information can include digital, analog,
and virtual terminal data. Virtual terminal allows
operator access to remote relays through the local relay.
You can use this M
IRRORED
B
ITS
protocol to transfer
information between stations to enhance coordination
and achieve faster tripping.
