➤
LINK5A, LINK5B, LINK5C, LINK5D—Set while the link is active
on the respective Ethernet port. Loss-of-link can be an indication that
an Ethernet cable has been disconnected.
NOTE:
The relay can take as long as
6 ms to detect and report the loss of
link on an active port (assert LNKFAIL
or LNKFL2).
➤
LNKFAIL—Set if link is lost on any active station bus port. For
relays with only two Ethernet ports, LNKFAIL asserts if link is lost
on either port.
➤
LNKFL2—Set if link is lost on the active process bus port (Ethernet
87L ports or Sampled Values (SV) ports in devices with those
capabilities). Once detected, the loss of the active port on the process
bus causes immediate failover if the backup port has a good data link.
If this is the case, failover may occur too quickly for the SER scanner
to register the assertion and deassertion of LNKFL2.
These bits can be mapped for SCADA monitoring via DNP3, IEC 61850, or SEL
Fast Message. They can also be added to the SER log for later analysis and
assigned to output contacts for alarm purposes.
Physical Access Security
Physical security of cybersecurity assets is a common concern. Typically, relays
are installed within a control enclosure that provides physical security. Other
times, they are installed in boxes within the switch yard. The relay provides some
tools that may be useful to help manage physical security, especially when the
unit is installed in the switch yard.
You can monitor physical ingress by wiring a door sensor to one of the relay con-
tact inputs. This input can then be mapped for SCADA monitoring or added to
the SER log so that you can detect when physical access to the relay occurs.
It is also possible to wire an electronic latch to a relay contact output. You could
then map this input for SCADA control.
Configuration Control Support
Product Version Information
The SEL-400 series relay firmware revision number (FID) provides the current
firmware version/patch level. The FID can be obtained using the
STATUS
com-
mand.
Settings Version Information
All settings changes are logged to the SER log. Analysis of this log will let you
determine if any unauthorized settings changes occurred.
The relay also stores a hash code for each settings class in the CFG.txt file. After
configuring the device, you can read the CFG.txt file and store it for future refer-
ence. You can then periodically read this file from the relay and compare it to the
stored reference. If any of the hash codes have changed, then you know that a set-
tings class has been modified.
