This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to a potential personal injury
hazard. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or
death.
DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
can result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
can result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE, used without safety alert symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, can result in equipment damage.
WARNING
When electrical equipment is in operation dangerous voltage will be present in certain parts of the
equipment. Failure to observe warning notices, incorrect use or improper use may endanger personnel
and equipment and cause personal injury or physical damage.
Before working in the terminal strip area, the P631 must be isolated. Where stranded conductors are
used, insulated crimped wire end ferrules must be employed.
The signals MAIN: Block ed /fau lt y and S FMON: Warning (LED) (permanently assigned to the
LEDs labeled OUT OF SERVICE and ALARM) can be assigned to output relays to indicate the health of
the P631. Schneider Electric strongly recommends that these output relays are hardwired into the
substation's automation system, for alarm purposes.
Any modifications to this P631 must be in accordance with the manual. If any other modification is
made without the express permission of Schneider Electric, it will invalidate the warranty, and may
render the product unsafe.
Proper and safe operation of this P631 depends on appropriate shipping and handling, proper storage,
installation and commissioning, and on careful operation, maintenance and servicing.
For this reason only qualified personnel may work on or operate this P631.
The User should be familiar with the warnings in the Safety Guide (SFTY/4LM/J11 or later version), with
the warnings in Chapter 5, (p. 5-1), Chapter 10, (p. 10-1), Chapter 11, (p. 11-1) and
Chapter 12, (p. 12-1) and with the content of Chapter 14, (p. 14-1), before working on the
equipment. If the warnings are disregarded, it will invalidate the warranty, and may render the
product unsafe.
Installation of the DHMI:

A protective conductor (ground/earth) of at least 1.5 mm² (US:  AWG14 or thicker) must be connected
to the DHMI protective conductor terminal to link the DHMI and the main relay case; these must be
located within the same substation.
To avoid the risk of electric shock the DHMI communication cable must not be in contact with
hazardous live parts.
The DHMI communication cable must not be routed or placed alongside high-voltage cables or
connections. Currents can be induced in the cable which may result in electromagnetic interference.

P631
1 Application and Scope
1.1 Overview - P631

The P631 differential protection device is intended for the fast and selective
short-circuit protection of transformers, motors, generators and other
installations with 2 windings.
Fig. 1-1: P631 in 40 TE case.
The P631 provides high-speed three-system differential protection using a triple-

slope characteristic and two high-set differential elements in combination with
transformer inrush restraint, overfluxing restraint and through-stabilization.
Amplitude and vector group matching is done just by entering the nominal values
of transformer windings and associated current transformers. An (optional)
overreaching current measuring circuit monitoring function will prevent
unwanted tripping by differential protection for faults in the CT's secondary
circuit.
Phase swapping allows motor / generator protection applications with enlarged
protection zones.
In addition many supplementary protective functions are incorporated in the
devices. These can be individually configured and cancelled.
The relevant protection parameters can be stored in four independent parameter
subsets in order to adapt the protection device to different operating and power
system management conditions.
During operation, the user-friendly interface makes it easy to set the device
parameters and allows safe operation of the substation by preventing non-
permissible switching operations.
These features give the user the means to adapt the P631 to the protection and
control capacity required in a specific application.
The powerful programmable logic provided by the protection device also makes
it possible to accommodate special applications.

1 Application and Scope P631
1.2 Including Function Groups in the Configuration

Functions listed in the tables in Section 1.3, (p. 1-4) are self-contained
function groups and can be individually configured or de-configured according to
the specific application requirements by using the MiCOM S1 operating program.
Unused or cancelled function groups are hidden to the user, thus simplifying the
menu of the MiCOM S1.
This concept provides a large choice of functions and makes wide-ranging
application of the protection device possible, with just one model version. On the
other hand, simple and clear parameter settings can be made.
In this way the protection and control functions can be included in or excluded
from the configuration.
Example
For example, the current transformer supervision (function group CTS)
● can be included in the configuration by setting
CTS: Funct ion gr ou p CTS to With
● can be excluded from the configuration by setting
CTS: Fu nct io n group C TS to Without

1.5 Design
The P631 is modular in design. The plug-in modules are housed in a robust
aluminum case and electrically interconnected via one analog p/c board and one
digital p/c board.
1-8 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

1.6 Configurable Function Keys

To the right of the text display, there are six freely configurable function keys
available. These may be used for easy control operation access.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 1-9

1.7 Inputs and Outputs

The nominal current and voltage values of the measuring inputs on the P631 can
be set with the function parameters.
The nominal voltage range of the optical coupler inputs is 24 to 250 V DC. As an
option binary signal input modules with a higher operate threshold are available.
The auxiliary voltage input for the power supply is also designed for an extended
range. The nominal voltage ranges are 60 to 250 V DC and 100 to 230 V AC. A 24
to 60 V DC version is also available.
All output relays can be utilized for signaling and command purposes.
The optional PT 100 input is lead-compensated, balanced and linearized for
PT 100 resistance thermometers as per IEC 751 / DIN EN 60751.
The optional 0 to 20 mA input provides open-circuit and overload monitoring,
zero suppression defined by a setting, plus the option of linearizing the input
variable via 20 adjustable interpolation points.
Two selectable measured values (cyclically updated measured operating data
and stored measured fault data) can be output as a burden-independent direct
current via the two optional 0 to 20 mA outputs. The characteristics are defined
via 3 adjustable interpolation points allowing a minimum output current (4 mA,
for example) for slave-side open-circuit monitoring, knee-point definition for fine
scaling, and a limitation to lower nominal currents (10 mA, for example). Where
sufficient output relays are available, a selectable measured value can be output
in BCD-coded form by contacts.

1.8 Control and Display

● Local control panel with an LC display containing 4 × 20 alphanumeric
characters.
● 23 LED indicators, 18 of which allow freely configurable function
assignment for the colors red and green. Furthermore there are various
operating modes and flashing functions available.
● PC interface.
● One or two communication interface(s) for connection to a substation
control system (optional).
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 1-11

1.9 Information Interfaces

Information is exchanged through the local control panel, the PC interface, or two
optional communication interfaces (channel 1 and channel 2).
Using the first channel of the communication interfaces (COMM1), the P631 can
be wired either to the substation control system or to a telecontrol system. This
channel is optionally available with a switchable protocol (per IEC 60870‑5‑103,
IEC 870‑5‑101, DNP 3.0, MODBUS or Courier).
The second communication interface (COMM2, communication protocol per
IEC 60870‑5‑103 only) is designed for remote control.
As an order option, there is an Ethernet interface for communication per
IEC 61850 available instead of channel 1.
External clock synchronization can be accomplished via one of the
communication protocols or by using the optional IRIG‑B input.

o Switching threshold in the range 14 V to 19 V.
Special variants with switching thresholds from 58% to 72% of the nominal input
voltage (i.e. definitively “low” for VA < 58% of the nominal supply voltage,
definitively “high” for VA > 72% of the nominal supply voltage).
● Special variant 72 V: Nominal supply voltage 110 V DC.
Power consumption per input

2.13.2 General Equations

The current transformer can be dimensioned
● either for the minimum required secondary accuracy limiting voltage acc.
to IEC 61869, 3.4.209:
V sal ≥ K d · K ssc · I sn · (Rct + Rb)
● or for the minimum required rated accuracy limit factor acc. to IEC 61869,
3.4.208, as follows:
Rct + Rb Pct + Pb
nn ≥ K d · K ssc · Rct + Rbn = K d · K ssc · Pct + Pbn
The relation between both methods is given as follows:

Pbn
V sal = nn · ( I sn + I sn · Rct )
The actual secondary connected burden Rb is given as follows:

● For phase-to-ground faults: Rb = 2 · Rl + Rrel
● For phase-to-phase faults: Rb = Rl + Rrel
The wire lead burden is calculated as:
l
Rl = ρ ⋅ A
● ρ = specific conductor resistance

(e.g. for copper 0.021 Ω mm²/m = 2.1⋅10-8 Ω m, at 75°C)
● l = wire length
● A = wire cross section
For devices out of the platform Easergy MiCOM 30, the input CT burden Rrel is
less than 20 mΩ, independent of the set nominal current (1 A or 5 A). Usually this
relay burden can be neglected.
The rated knee point voltage Vk according to IEC 61869, 3.4.217 is lower than
the secondary accuracy limiting voltage Vsal according to IEC 61869, 3.4.209. It is
not possible to give a general relation between Vk and Vsal, but for standard core
material the following relations applies:
● VK≈0.85⋅Vsal for class 5P CTs, and
● VK≈0.75⋅Vsal for class 10P CTs, respectively.
Theoretically, the specifications of the current transformer could be calculated to
avoid saturation by inserting its maximum value, instead of the required over-
dimensioning factor Kd:
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 2-25

Xp
K d = K max ≈ 1 + Rp = 1 + ω · Tp
However, this is not necessary. Instead, it is sufficient to consider an empirically

determined dimensioning factor Kd=Kemp such that the appropriate operation of
the protection function is ensured under the given conditions. This factor
depends on application and relay type, as outlined in the following.
2.13.3 Transformer Differential Protection

For Transformer Differential Protection Devices the empirical dimensioning factor
Kd = Kemp for the CTs considering external faults (assuming maximum through-
flowing currents) can be taken from the following diagram:
5.0
4.5

K emp
2.0

1.0
0.5
0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
Xp / R p
This CT dimensioning assures through fault stability of the differential element.

Due to the inbuilt saturation discriminator the CT requirement is independent of
the current sensitivity given by the set basic threshold of the tripping
characteristic.
The empirical dimensioning factor Kemp (shown in the diagram above) has been
determined by investigations using 3-shot auto-reclosing sequences with 450 ms
of fault current feed (starting at worst case point on wave) for each shot and
300 ms dead time between shots. In most practical cases faults would be cleared
in 100 to 200 ms for external protection operation and the dead time between
auto-reclose shots would be longer than 300 ms. This would reduce the flux
build-up in the core. Therefore the above shown empirical dimensioning factor
Kemp can be considered as being based on a conservative approach.
For internal fault steady-state saturation is permissible with maximum fault
currents up to 4 times the steady-state accuracy limit current of the CT. This
corresponds to a dimensioning factor of Kd = 0.25 for internal faults.
It is recommended to use CTs of accuracy class 5P (or equivalent).

3 Operation
3.1 Modular Structure

The P631 is a numerical device out of Schneider Electric's family of devices
named “Easergy MiCOM 30”. The device types included in this family are built
from identical uniform hardware modules. The figure below shows the basic
hardware structure of the P631.

Fig. 3-1: Basic hardware structure.
External analog quantities and binary quantities – electrically isolated – are

converted to the internal processing levels by the peripheral modules T, Y, and X.
The optional binary I/O modules X are equipped with optical couplers for binary
signal input as well as output relays for the output of signals and commands or
combinations of these.
The external auxiliary voltage is applied to the power supply module V, which
supplies the auxiliary voltages that are required internally.
Analog data is transferred from the transformer module T via the analog bus
module B to the processor module P. The processor module contains all the
elements necessary for the conversion of measured analog variables, including
multiplexers and analog/digital converters. The analog data conditioned by the
analog I/O module Y is transferred to the processor module P via the digital bus
module.
The processor handles the processing of digitized analog variables and of binary
signals, generates the protective trip and signals, and transfers them to the
binary I/O modules X via the digital bus module. The processor module also
handles overall device communication.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-1

P631 3 Operation
The optional communication modules provide one or two serial communication

interfaces for the integration of the protection and control unit into a substation
control system.
The local control module L is located behind the front panel and connected to the
processor module via a ribbon cable. It encompasses all control and display
elements as well as a PC interface for running the operating program S1.

3 Operation P631
3.2 Operator-Machine Communication

The following interfaces are available for the exchange of information between
the user and the P631:
● Integrated user interface (LOC: local control panel)
● PC interface
● Communication interface
All settings and signals as well as all measurements and control functions are
arranged within the branches of the menu tree following a scheme that is
uniform throughout the device family. The main branches are:
“Parameters” Branch
All settings are contained in this branch. This branch carries all settings,
including the identification data of the P631, the configuration parameters for
adapting the P631 interfaces to the system, and the function parameters for
adapting the device functions to the process. All values in this group are stored
in non-volatile memory, which means that the values will be preserved even if
the power supply fails.
“Operation” Branch
This branch includes all information relevant for operation such as measured
operating data and binary signal states. This information is updated periodically
and consequently is not stored. In addition, various controls are grouped here,
for example those for resetting counters, memories and displays.
“Events” Branch
The third branch is reserved for the recording of events. All information in this
group is therefore stored. In particular, the start/end signals during a fault, the
measured fault data, and the sampled fault waveforms are stored here and can
be read out when required.
Display of Settings and Signals

Settings and signals are displayed either in plain text or as addresses, in
accordance with the user’s choice. All settings and signals of the P631 are
documented in a separate collection of documents, the so-called
“DataModelExplorer”. The “Addresses” document (being part of the
“DataModelExplorer”) is complete in the sense that it contains all settings,
signals and measured variables that are relevant for the user of the P631.
The configuration of the local control panel also permits the installation of
Measured Value “Panels” on the LCD display. Different Panels are automatically
displayed for specific system operating conditions. Priority increases from normal
operation to operation under overload conditions and finally to operation
following a short circuit in the system. Thus the P631 provides the measured
data relevant for the prevailing conditions.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-3

P631 3 Operation
3.3 Configuration of the Measured Value Panels (Function

Group LOC)
The P631 offers Measured Value Panels, which display the measured values
relevant at a given time.
During normal power system operation, the Operation Panel is displayed. If the
Operation Panel is activated as an event occurs, the display switches to the
appropriate Event Panel – provided that measured values have been selected for
the Event Panels. In the event of overload or ground fault events, the display will
automatically switch to the Operation Panel at the end of the event. In the event
of a fault, the Fault Panel remains active until the LED indicators or the fault
memories are reset.

3 Operation P631
3.3.1 Operation Panel

The Operation Panel is displayed after the set return time has elapsed, provided
that at least one measured value has been configured.
The user can select which of the measured operating values will be displayed on
the Operation Panel by means of an “m out of n” parameter. When more
measured operating values are selected for display than the LC display can
accommodate, then the display will either switch to the next set of measured
operating values at intervals defined by the setting for LOC: Hold-time for
Pa nels or when the appropriate key on the local control panel is pressed.

3.3.2 Fault Panel

The Fault Panel is displayed in place of another data panel when there is a fault,
provided that at least one measured value has been configured. The Fault Panel
remains on display until the LED indicators or the fault memories are cleared.
The user can select the measured fault values that will be displayed on the Fault
Panel by setting an “m out of n” parameter. When more measured fault values
are selected for display than the LC display can accommodate, then the display
will either switch to the next set of measured fault values at intervals defined by
the setting for LOC : Hold-time for P ane ls or when the appropriate key on the
local control panel is pressed.

3.3.4 Configurable Clear Key

The P631 has a Clear key – –, to which one or more reset functions can be
assigned by selecting the required functions at L OC : Fct. re set key. Details on
the functions' resetting features are given in Section 3.12.12, (p. 3-82).
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-7

P631 3 Operation
3.4 Communication Interfaces

The P631 has a PC interface as a standard component. Communication module A
is optional and can be provided with one or two communication channels –
depending on the design version. Communication between the P631 and the
control station’s computer is through the communication module A. Setting and
interrogation is possible through all the P631's interfaces.
If the communication module A with two communication channels is installed,
settings for two communication interfaces will be available. The setting of
communication interface 1 (COMM1) may be assigned to the physical
communication channels 1 or 2 (see Section 3.12.13, (p. 3-84)). If the COMM1
settings have been assigned to communication channel 2, then the settings of
communication interface 2 (COMM2) will automatically be active for
communication channel 1.
COMM2 can only be used to transmit data to and from the P631 if its PC interface
has been de-activated. As soon as the PC interface is used to transmit data,
COMM2 becomes “dead”. It will only be enabled again when the “time-out”
period for the PC interface has elapsed.
If tests are run on the P631, the user is advised to activate the test mode. In this
way the PC or the control system will recognize all incoming test signals
accordingly (see Section 3.12.14, (p. 3-85)).

3.4.2 Communication Interface 1 (Function Group COMM1)

There are several different interface protocols available at the communication
interface 1. The following user-selected interface protocols are available for use
with the P631:
● IEC 60870‑5‑103, "Transmission protocols - Companion standard for the
informative interface of protection equipment, first edition, 1997-12
(corresponds to VDEW / ZVEI Recommendation, "Protection communication
companion standard 1, compatibility level 2", February 1995 edition) with
additions covering control and monitoring
● IEC 870‑5‑101, "Telecontrol equipment and systems ‑ Part 5: Transmission
protocols ‑ Section 101 Companion standard for basic telecontrol tasks,"
first edition 1995‑11
● ILS‑C, proprietary protocol of Schneider Electric
● MODBUS
● DNP 3.0
● COURIER
In order for data transfer to function properly, several settings must be made in
the P631.
Communication interface 1 can be blocked through a binary signal input. In
addition, a signal or measured-data block can also be imposed through a binary
signal input.

3.4.4 Communication Interface IEC 61850 (Function Groups IEC and

GOOSE)
The IEC 61850 communication protocol is implemented by these function groups
and the Ethernet module.
Function group IEC is only available as an alternative to function group COMM1

(hardware ordering option!).
3.4.4.1 Communication Interface IEC 61850 (Function Group IEC)

The P631 offers as an ordering option a communication protocol according to the
Ethernet based IEC 61850 protocol.
3.4.4.1.1 IEC 61850

IEC 61850 was created jointly by users and manufacturers as an international
standard. The main target of IEC 61850 is interoperability of devices. This
includes the capability of two or more intelligent electronic devices (IED),
manufactured by the same company or different companies, to exchange data
for combined operation.
This communication standard IEC 61850 has now created an open and common
basis for communication from the process control level down to the network
control level, for the exchange of signals, data, measured values and commands.
For a standardized description of all information and services available in a field
device a data model, which lists all visible functions, is created. Such a data
model, specifically created for each device, is used as a basis for an exchange of
data between the devices and all process control installations interested in such
information. In order to facilitate engineering at the process control level a
standardized description file of the device, based on XML, is created with the
help of the data model. This file can be imported and processed further by the
relevant configuration program used by the process control device. This makes
possible an automated creation of process variables, substations and signal
images.
Available is the following documentation providing the description of the
IEC 61850 data model which is used with the P631:
● ICD file based on XML in the SCL (Substation Configuration Description
Language) with a description of data, properties and services, available
from the P631, that are to be imported into the configuration tool “IED
Configurator” or into a system configurator.
● PICS_MICS_ADL file with the following contents:
o PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement) with an
overview of available services.
o MICS (Model Implementation Conformance Statement) with an overview
of available object types.
o ADL (Address Assignment List) with an overview of the assignment of
parameter addresses (signals, measuring values, commands, etc.) used
by the P631 with the device data model as per IEC 61850.

P631 3 Operation
3.4.4.1.2 Ethernet Module

The optional Ethernet module provides an RJ45 connection and a fiber optic
interface where an Ethernet network can be connected. The selection which of
the two interfaces is to be used to connect to the Ethernet network is made by
setting the parameter [I C] : Me di a.
Setting parameters identified by “[ I C ] :…” in the IEC function group are set with the
“IED Configurator”. They cannot be modified from the local control panel (HMI) or
with the operating program.
There are two ordering variants available for the fiber-optic interface: the ST
connector and the SC connector both for 100 Mbit/s and 1300 nm. The RJ45
connector supports 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s.
The optional Ethernet module additionally provides an RS485 interface for
remote access with the MiCOM S1 support software (function group COMM2).
The P631 may be equipped with the optional Ethernet module only as an
alternative to the standard optional communication module. Therefore the
Ethernet-based communication protocol IEC 61850 is available only as an
alternative to function group COMM1.
3.4.4.1.3 Configuration and Enabling

The IEC function group can be included in the configuration by setting the
parameter IE C: Fu nction group IEC. This parameter is only visible if the
optional Ethernet communication module is fitted to the P631. After activation of
IEC, all data points associated with this function group (setting parameters,
binary state signals etc.) become visible.
The function can then be enabled or disabled by setting IEC : Gener al ena ble
USE R.
The setting parameters from the IEC function group as well as the related GOOSE
function group are not automatically active in the P631. The P631 features two
memory “banks” one of which includes the active setting parameters. The other
memory bank is used with the configuration procedure for parameters from the
IED Configurator and the operating system. Specific project-related extensions of
the IEC 61850 parameters from the IED Configurator are loaded into the P631 by
downloading a .MCL file. The inactive communication parameters are activated
by executing the command IEC : Swi tch Config. Bank. This command may
also be issued from the IED Configurator.

3.4.4.1.4 Client Log-on

Communication in Ethernet no longer occurs in a restrictive master slave system,
as is common with other protocols. Instead, server or client functionalities, as
defined in the “Abstract Communication Service Interface” (ACSI, IEC 61870‑7‑2),
are assigned to the devices. A “server” is always that device which provides
information to other devices. A client may log on to this server in order to receive
information, for instance “reports”. In its function as server the P631 can supply
up to 16 clients, linked into the network, with spontaneous or cyclic information.
3.4.4.1.5 Clock Synchronization

With IEC 61850 clock synchronization is effected via the SNTP protocol, defined
as standard for Ethernet. Here the P631 functions as an SNTP client.
For clock synchronization one can choose between the operating modes Anycast
from SNTP Server or Request from Server. With the first operating mode
synchronization occurs by a broadcast message sent from the SNTP server to all
devices in the network, and in the second operating mode the P631 requests a
device-specific time signal during a settable cycle.
Two SNTP servers may be set. In this case, clock synchronization is preferably
performed by the first server. The second server is only reverted to if no signal is
received from the first server.
When looking at the source priority for clock synchronization, which is set at the
MAIN function then, by selecting COMM1/IEC, synchronization per IEC 61850 is
automatically active but only if this communication protocol is applied.

3 Operation P631
3.4.4.1.6 Generating Datasets, Reporting

The specific project related feature of the P631’s communications behavior is
determined by the configuration of datasets, reports and high priority
transmission methods. A piece of information must be included in a dataset so as
to be transmitted as a signal. A dataset is a list to transmit certain data objects.
The selection of data objects and the resulting length of the dataset is
determined by the application; merely the GOOSE capacity, i.e. the maximum
size of a dataset to be transmitted by GOOSE, is limited to 1500 bytes.
It is not possible to read the IEC configuration back from the P631 if the “Dataset”
sizes exceed the GOOSE size limit significantly. Therefore it is recommended to
limit the “Dataset” size(s) to 100% of the GOOSE capacity. Too large a dataset can
spoil IEC 61850 communication. Hence, the dataset size limit of 100% of the
GOOSE capacity should not be exceeded, neither for GOOSE nor for reports.
Data objects provided by the P631 are available for selection with a structure as
specified by IEC 61850. Within the quality descriptor for each piece of
information the invalid bit and the test bit are served according to the P631’s
state; the other attributes are not set. Any number of datasets may be created
with the IED Configurator. Saving datasets at System\LLN0 is compulsory. The
knowledge of dataset content is imperative for decoding and evaluating received
signals. Configuration files possess a listing of all datasets with a description of
all data objects included.
Next to their use with high priority transmission methods (see Section 3.4.4.1.10,
(p. 3-27)) datasets are used mainly for reporting. The P631 provides up to
sixteen unbuffered reports and eight buffered reports independent of the number
of clients logged-on. Management is arranged into sixteen Unbuffered Report
Control Blocks (urcbA to urcbP) and eight Buffered Report Control Blocks (brcbA
to brcbH). Whereas with unbuffered reporting pieces of information may be lost
during a communications failure, the buffered report control blocks support a
buffered transmission which is required for the uninterrupted writing of events. A
pre-defined dataset may be assigned to each report which will then determine
which data object will be transmitted with the relevant report. Assigning datasets
is not limited; the same dataset may be referenced in various reports or even in
GOOSEs.
The P631 can serve up to sixteen clients. Each client can log-on to any number of
available reports. One unbuffered report can be allocated to max. 8 clients, and
one buffered report can be allocated to max. 4 clients. A client is then able to
activate the wanted report for himself and to set the transmission behavior to his
requirements. The system concept with intended clients must be taken into
account when datasets are assigned to the reports.
Reports are not received by the P631.
3.4.4.1.7 Transmitting Modeled Signals Not Provided by the IEC 61850 Data Model
In addition to the information included in the IEC 61850 data model an optional
number of up to 16 signals can be selected from all the signals available in the
P631 to be transmitted via reporting. A selection of state signals (shuttling to
communications) is made by setting IE C: SigGGIO1 select ion. The data
object indexes defined for SigGGIO1 must follow the sequence given for the ‘m
out of n’ selection for the state signals. The indexes SigGGIO1.ST.ind1 to
SigGGIO1.ST.ind16 may then be included in the datasets just as the other data
objects.

P631 3 Operation
3.4.4.1.8 Single Commands

Single commands (e.g. short command, long command, persistent command)
are configured with the operating program. Sending commands to the P631 can
be carried out from all clients that have previously logged-on to the P631. But
only one command at a time is carried out. The operating mode Direct control
with normal security is provided for single commands.
3-26 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

3 Operation P631
3.4.4.1.9 Fault Transmission

Including fault transmission for the IEC 61850 in the configuration is only possible
with the IED Configurator.
Transmission of fault files is supported per “File Transfer”. COMTRADE fault files
in the P631 are transmitted uniformly either as ASCII or binary formatted files.
Fault transmission can be cancelled from the configuration.
3.4.4.1.10 High Priority Transmission of Information

Whereas normal server-client services are transmitted at the MMS and TCP/IP
level the high priority transmission of information is carried out directly at
Ethernet level. Furthermore messages in such a particular form can be received
by all participants in the relevant sub-network, independent of their server or
client function. They are deployed in instances where high speed transmission of
information is wanted between two or more devices. Applications, for example,
are reverse interlocking, transfer trip or decentralized substation interlock.
The standard IEC 61850 provides the Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) for high priority transmission of information. The GOOSE enables
transmission of all data formats available in the data model, such as binary
information, integer values, two-pole contact position signals or analog measured
values. The P631 supports receipt and evaluation of GOOSE including binary
information and two-pole contact position signals from external devices.
3.4.4.1.11 Communication with the MiCOM S1 Support Software via the Ethernet Interface
Direct access by the MiCOM S1 support software via the Ethernet interface on
the P631 may occur through the “tunneling principle”. Transmission is carried
out by an Ethernet Standard Protocol, but this is only supported by the
associated MiCOM S1 support software (specific manufacturer solution). Such
transmission is accomplished over the same hardware for the network, which is
used for server-client communication. Available are all the familiar functions
offered by the MiCOM S1 support software such as reading/writing of setting
parameters or retrieving stored data.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-27

P631 3 Operation
3.4.4.2 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (Function Group GOOSE)

For high priority exchange of information between individual devices (IEDs) in a
local network, the P631 provides the function group GOOSE as defined in the
standard IEC 61850. GOOSE features high-speed and secure transmission of
information for reverse interlocking, decentralized substation interlock, trip
commands, blocking, enabling, contact position signals and other signals.
GOOSE Messages are only transmitted by switches but not by routers. GOOSE
messages therefore remain in the local network to which the P631 is connected.
3.4.4.2.1 Configuration and Enabling

Function group GOOSE can be configured by setting the parameter
GOOSE: Functi on group GOOSE This parameter is only visible if the optional
Ethernet communication module is fitted to the P631. After having configured the
GOOSE all parameters associated to this function group are then visible and
ready to be configured.
Further setting parameters from function group GOOSE are set with the
IED Configurator, but they cannot be modified from the local control panel (MMI)
or with the operating program.
The function can then be enabled or disabled by setting GO OSE: General
enab le USER.

3.4.4.2.2 Sending GOOSE

The GOOSE can send up to eight different GOOSE messages which are managed
in eight GOOSE Control Blocks (gcb01 to gcb08). Information content depends on
the respective dataset assigned to GOOSE. The maximum size of a dataset to be
sent by GOOSE is limited to 1500 bytes. A control display is shown by the IED
Configurator to check this limit.
3-28 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

3 Operation P631
It is not possible to read the IEC configuration back from the P631 if the “Dataset”
sizes exceed the GOOSE size limit significantly. Therefore it is recommended to
limit the “Dataset” size(s) to 100% of the GOOSE capacity. Too large a dataset can
spoil IEC 61850 communication. Hence, the dataset size limit of 100% of the
GOOSE capacity should not be exceeded, neither for GOOSE nor for reports.
When defining the datasets for GOOSE it is advised to select the individual data
attributes and not the overlapping data objects. By this the amount of data is
kept within a limit and decoding is guaranteed on the receiving end.
In addition to the information included in the IEC 61850 data model an optional
number of up to 32 signals can be selected from all the signals available in the
P631 to be transmitted via GOOSE, as it is also possible with reporting.
Selection of binary state signals (shuttling to communications) is made by setting
GOOSE: Out pu t 1 fct.as s ig.. (or Output 2, ..., Output 32). The data object
indexes defined for SigGGIO1 must follow the function assignments for the
GOOSE outputs. The indexes GosGGIO2.ST.ind1 to GosGGIO2.ST.ind32 may then
be included in the datasets just as the other data objects.
When a state change occurs with a selected state signal or a measured value
changes which is greater than the dead band set for the relevant data point then
the complete GOOSE is sent. There will be multiple send repetitions at ascending
time periods. The first send repetition occurs at the given cycle time set with the
parameter [IC]: Minimum Cycle Time. The cycles for the following send
repetitions result from a conditional equation with the increment set with the
parameter [IC] : Incre me nt. Should no further state changes occur up to the
time when the maximum cycle time has elapsed [ IC]: Maximu m Cy cle Time,
then GOOSE will be sent cyclically at intervals as set for the maximum cycle
time.
In order to have unambiguous identification of a GOOSE sent, characteristics
such as [I C]: Multicas t MAC Addres s, [IC] : A pplication I D (hex ),
[I C]: VL A N Identi fi er (he x), [I C] : V LA N P r iorit y and
[I C]: G OOSE Id en tif ie r must be entered in the IED Configurator settings.
Further characteristics are [IC ] : Datase t Ref e rence and
[IC]: Confi gu rat io n Re vis ion.
Each GOOSE is given the state change index and the number of send repetitions.
3.4.4.2.3 Receiving GOOSE

With GOOSE up to 128 logic binary state signals as well as 128 two-pole contact
position signals from external devices (Ext.Devxx) can be received. For each
state signal or contact position signal to be received a specific GOOSE message
is to be selected, which will contain the information wanted, by setting
[I C]: M ul ticast MAC A ddre ss, [I C] : A ppl icati on I D (hex ),
[IC ]: Source Path, [IC] : GOOSE Ide nti fie r and [I C]: D ataSet R efere nce.
With the further setting of [ IC]: Data Obj In de x / Type, which corresponds to
the GOOSE position index and the information structure of the sending device,
the required information from the chosen GOOSE will be selected. The
identification features "VLAN identifier" and [I C] : Con figurat ion Re vision
that are also included in the GOOSE received will not be evaluated.
These parameters characterizing the information may be taken either from
device or project planning documentation of the sending device or from a
configuration file which is conform to IEC 61850. The IED Configurator will
support the import of .IID, .SCD and .MCL files when the "browse function"
(virtual key) is applied. The selection and acceptance of parameters from an
existing project planning is distinguished by a simplified and very reliable data
input.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-29

P631 3 Operation
Each GOOSE includes time information on the duration of validity of its

information. This corresponds to the double time period to the next GOOSE
repetition. If the duration of validity has elapsed without having received this
GOOSE again (i.e. because of a fault in communications), the signals received
will automatically be set to their respective default value
[IC ]: D ef ault I npu t Val ue. Which of the possible state values will set the
wanted security grade is dependent on the relevant application.
The following configuration (shuttling to the device functions) of the logic state
signals received from the logic node GosGGIO1 (GOOSE: Input 1 fct.assig.
(or Input 2, …, Input 128)) is made on the basis of the selection table of the
binary signal inputs (opto‑coupler inputs).
The virtual key "Unmap" may be used to remove the link of a binary signal input
to an external data point. In such a case all entries for this binary signal input are
deleted.
3.4.4.2.4 Uniqueness of Control within a System

If with a system application it must be ensured that only one control command at
a time is being processed system wide (“uniqueness”) then interlocking of
secondary devices among themselves is setup with GOOSE. The P631 sets the
status information Control/LLN0.ST.OrdRun.stVal. when it has received a control
command. This information – stored in a dataset – is distributed in the system by
GOOSE and is therefore available to all other devices as an interlocking
condition. The state information is reset and accordingly signaled after
termination of the command sequence.
The P631 is capable to monitor the command status of up to 32 further devices.
With the IED Configurator OrdRunGGIO1.ind1.stVal to OrdRunGGIO1.ind32.stVal
are configured in a similar way to the other GOOSE inputs. A shuttling to the
interlocking equations is not necessary as their consideration within command
checking is automatically enabled when the first binary signal input is configured.
During a signaling receipt phase command effecting will be rejected.

3.4.5 Redundant Ethernet Board

The P631 Transformer Differential Protection Device can be (optionally) fitted
with a special communication module named Redundant Ethernet Board, as an
alternative to the single Ethernet board. (See Chapter 15, (p. 15-1) for the
exact order information and Section 5.7, (p. 5-22) for the location and
connection diagrams.)
The Redundant Ethernet Board assures redundancy at IED level, which allows an
alternative path to be always available, thus providing bumpless redundancy.
Industrial or substation control network failure can be disastrous. Redundancy
provides increased safety and reliability, but also devices can be added to or
removed from the network without network downtime.
3.4.5.1 Hardware Modules

P30 devices (i. e. devices from the device family Easergy MiCOM 30) are
constructed from standard hardware modules. The following table lists the item
numbers of the Redundant Ethernet board variants:

Tab. 3-1: Redundant Ethernet board variants.
All of these boards have 1300 nm multi mode 100BaseFx fiber-optic Ethernet
ports (ST® connector) and modulated IRIG-B input and furthermore connections
for a watchdog relay and an RS485 link (COMM2 interface, see Section 3.4.3,
(p. 3-19)).
The Redundant Ethernet board is fitted into Slot 2 of the P631. Each board has
two MAC addresses, one for the managed embedded switch and one for the
P631.
3.4.5.2 Redundancy Protocols

The following list shows Schneider Electric’s implementation of Ethernet
redundancy, which has four variants with embedded IEC 61850, plus SHP, RSTP,
DHP and PRP redundancy protocols.
3-32 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

3 Operation P631
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP IEC 62439‑3 (2012))

● The PRP uses two independent Ethernet networks that operate in parallel.
The PRP is a “redundancy in the devices” method that provides bumpless
switchover in case of failure or reintegration. Furthermore, it provides the
shortest Ethernet network reconfiguration time as network reconfiguration
is seamless.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP IEEE 802.1D‑2004)

● This board offers compatibility with any RSTP device. RSTP is a standard
used to quickly reconnect a network fault by finding an alternative path,
allowing loop-free network topology. Although RSTP can recover network
faults quickly, the fault recovery time depends on the number of devices
and the topology.
This board offers compatibility with any RSTP device, and in particular with
C264 (with the “SWS2x2” Switch Unit fitted).
Self Healing Protocol (SHP)

● Self healing is applied to double ring network topologies and allows a
complete network reconfiguration time of less than 1 s.
When a fiber is broken, both end stations detect the break. Using both the
primary and redundant networks the ring is automatically reclosed.
This board offers compatibility with C264 (with the “SWR2x2” Switch
Redundant Unit fitted) and MiCOM H35x multi-mode switches. Self Healing
Protocol is a Schneider Electric proprietary solution providing extremely
fast recovery time.
Dual Homing Protocol (DHP)

● Dual home is applied to double star architectures and provides bumpless
redundancy (0 ms change over time).
If the optical fiber connection between two devices is broken, the network
continues to operate correctly. The dual homing mechanism handles
topologies where a device is connected to two independent networks. One
is the main link, the other is the backup. Both are active at the same time.
This board offers compatibility with C264 (with the “SWD2x2” Switch Unit
fitted) and MiCOM H36x multi-mode switches. Dual Homing Protocol is a
Schneider Electric proprietary solution providing bumpless redundancy to
the P631.
3.4.5.3 Generic Functions for All Redundant Ethernet Boards

The following apply to all four redundant Ethernet protocols (SHP, RSTP, DHP and
PRP).
Ethernet 100Base Fx
The fiber optic ports are full duplex 100 Mbps ST connectors.
Forwarding
The devices from the families Easergy MiCOM 30, 40, the C264 and the MiCOM H
switches support store and forward mode. The MiCOM switch forwards messages
with known addresses to the appropriate port. The messages with unknown
addresses, the broadcast messages and the multicast messages are forwarded
out to all ports except the source port. MiCOM switches do not forward error
packets, 802.3x pause frames or local packets.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-33

P631 3 Operation
Priority Tagging
802.1p priority is enabled on all ports.
Simple Network Management Protocol – SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the network protocol developed
to manage devices in an IP network. SNMP relies on a Management Information
Base (MIB) that contains information about parameters to supervise. The MIB
format is a tree structure, with each node in the tree identified by a numerical
Object IDentifier (OID). Each OID identifies a variable that can be read or set
using SNMP with the appropriate software. The information in the MIBs is
standardized.
Various SNMP client software tools can be used with the Series 30, 40, C264 and
Hx5x range. Schneider Electric recommends using an SNMP MIB browser which
can perform the basic SNMP operations such as GET, GETNEXT, RESPONSE. To
access the network using SNMP, use the IP address of the embedded switch in
the Redundant Ethernet board.
Simple Network Time Protocol – SNTP

Simple Network Time Protocol is supported by both the P631 and the Redundant
Ethernet switch. SNTP is used to synchronize the clocks of computer systems
over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. A jitter buffer is used to
reduce the effects of variable latency introduced by queuing in packet switched
networks, ensuring a continuous data stream over the network.
The P631 receives the synchronization from the SNTP server. This is done using
the IP address of the SNTP server entered into the P631 from the IED
Configurator software.

3.5 IRIG-B Clock Synchronization (Function Group IRIGB)

If, for example, a GPS receiver with IRIG-B connection is available, the internal
clock of the P631 can be synchronized to run on GPS time using the optional
IRIG-B interface. It should be noted that the IRIG-B signal holds information on
the day only (day of the current year). Using this information and the year set at
the P631, the P631 calculates the current date (DD.MM.YY).
Disabling and Enabling the IRIG-B Interface

The IRIG‑B interface can be disabled or enabled using a setting parameter.
Synchronization Readiness
If the IRIG-B interface is enabled and receiving a signal, the P631 checks the
received signal for plausibility. Implausible signals are rejected by the P631. If
the P631 does not receive a correct signal in the long run, synchronization will
not be ready any longer.

P631 3 Operation
3.6 Configurable Function Keys (Function Group F_KEY)

The P631 provides six freely configurable function keys. A password may be
configured for each function key (e.g. for F1 at F _KEY: Password funct .k ey
1), and if a password has been configured then the respective function key will
only be enabled when the configured password is entered.
As an example the operation of function key F1 is shown in Fig. 3-21, (p. 3-37).
After the password has been entered the function key will remain active for the
time period set at F_KEY: Re tur n time fct.ke ys. Thereafter, the function key
is disabled until the password is entered again. The same is valid for function
keys F2 to F6. Exception: If a function key is configured as a control key a
password request is only issued when the function “Local/Remote switching” has
been assigned to this function key.
Configuration of function keys with a single function

One function may be assigned to each function key (e.g. for F1) at F_KEY: Fct .
assig nm. F1 or by selecting a logic state signal (except LOC : Trig. menu
jm p 1 EXT and LOC : Trig. men u jmp 2 EXT). The assigned function is
triggered by pressing the respective function key on the P631.
Configuration of function keys with menu jump lists

Instead of a single function each function key may have one of the two menu
jump lists assigned (e.g. for F1) at F _KEY: Fct. as signm. F1 by selecting the
listing at L OC : Tr ig. menu j mp 1 EXT or LOC: Trig. m enu jmp 2 EXT. The
functions of the selected menu jump list are triggered in sequence by repeated
pressing of the assigned function key.
Both menu jump lists are assembled at L OC: Fct. menu jmp list 1 or
LOC: Fct. men u jm p li st 2. Up to 16 functions such as setting parameters,
event counters and/or event logs may be selected.
LED indicators including the six positioned directly next to the function keys are
configured independently and in this respect there is no relationship to the
respective function key configuration.
Configuration of the READ key

As with L OC: Fct . m en u jmp l is t 1 or L OC: Fct. menu jmp list 2 up to 16
functions may also be selected from the same menu jump list at LOC : F ct .

key.
Operating mode of the function keys

For each function key the operating mode may be selected (e.g. for F1) at
F_KEY: O pe rat ing mode F1. Here it is possible to select whether the function
key operates as a key or as a switch. In the Key operating mode the selected
function is active while the function key is pressed. In the Switch operating mode
the selected function is switched on or off every time the function key is pressed.
The state of the function keys can be displayed.
Handling keys
If backlighting for the LC display is switched off it will automatically light up when
a function key or the “READ” key is pressed. The assigned function will only be
triggered when the respective key is pressed a second time. This is also valid for
the other keys.

P631 3 Operation
3.7 Configuration and Operating Mode of the Binary Inputs

(Function Group INP)
The P631 has opto coupler inputs for processing binary signals from the
substation. The functions that will be activated in the P631 by triggering these
binary signal inputs are defined by the configuration of the binary signal inputs.
In order to ensure that during normal operation the P631 will recognize an input
signal, it must persist for at least 20 ms. With the occurrence of a general
starting this time period may have to be increased to 40 ms under unfavorable
conditions.
Configuring the Binary Inputs

One function can be assigned to each binary signal input by configuration. The
same function can be assigned to several signal inputs. Thus one function can be
activated from several control points having different signal voltages.
It should be noted that time-critical applications such as time synchronization
commands should not be mapped to the binary signal inputs of the analog I/O
module as these have an increased reaction time due to internal processing.
In this technical manual, it is assumed that the required functions (marked “EXT”
in the address description) have been assigned to binary signal inputs by
configuration.
Operating Mode of the Binary Inputs

The operating mode for each binary signal input can be defined. The user can
specify whether the presence (Active "high" mode) or absence (Active "low"
mode) of a voltage shall be interpreted as the logic ‘1’ signal. The display of the
state of a binary signal input – "low" or "high" – is independent of the setting for
the operating mode of the signal input.
Filter Function
An additional filter function may be enabled in order to suppress transient
interference peaks at the logic signal inputs (operating modes Active "high", filt.
or Active "low", filt.). With this function enabled a status change at the binary
logic input is only signaled when the input signal remains at a steady signal level
during a set number of sampling steps (sampling step size = period / 20). The
number of sampling steps is set at parameter INP : Filt er.

P631 3 Operation
3.8 Measured Data Input (Function Group MEASI)

When the P631 is equipped with the analog (I/O) module Y it has two analog
inputs available for measured data input. Direct current is fed to the P631
through the 20 mA analog input (input channel 1). The other input is designed for
connection of a PT 100 resistance thermometer.
The input current IDC present at the analog (I/O) module Y is displayed as a
measured operating value. The current that is conditioned for monitoring
purposes (IDC,lin) is also displayed as a measured operating value. In addition, it is
monitored by the Limit Value Monitoring function to detect whether it exceeds or
falls below set thresholds (see Section 3.28, (p. 3-166)).
The measured temperature is also displayed as measured operating value and
monitored by the Limit Value Monitoring function to determine whether it
exceeds or falls below set threshold (see Section 3.28, (p. 3-166)).
All measured variables are also forwarded to the Thermal Overload Protection
function. With this protection it is possible to set whether the PT 100 resistance
thermometer or the 20 mA analog input is to be used for the thermal replica (see
Section 3.24.1, (p. 3-143)).

3 Operation P631
3.8.1 Direct Current Input on the Analog (I/O) Module Y

External measuring transducers normally supply an output current of 0 to 20 mA
that is directly proportional to the physical quantity being measured – the
temperature, for example.
If the output current of the measuring transducer is directly proportional to the
measured quantity only in certain ranges, linearization can be arranged,
provided that the measured data input is set accordingly. Furthermore, for
certain applications it may be necessary to limit the range being monitored or to
monitor certain parts of the range with a higher or lower sensitivity.
By setting the value pair MEA SI: ID C 1 and MEA SI: ID C,lin 1, the user
specifies which input current IDC will correspond to the current that is monitored
by the Limit Value Monitoring function, i.e. IDC,lin. (These two setting parameters
refer to value pair number 1; setting parameters for value pairs 2 to 20 are
available, too.)
The resulting points, called “interpolation points”, are connected by straight lines
in an IDC‑IDC,lin diagram. In order to implement a simple characteristic, it is
sufficient to specify two interpolation points, which are also used as limiting
values (see Fig. 3-24, (p. 3-41)). Up to 20 interpolation points are available to
implement a complex characteristic.
When setting the characteristic the user must remember that only a rising/rising
or falling/falling curve sense is allowed (no peak or vee-shapes). If the setting
differs, the signal SFMON: In vali d s calin g IDC will be generated.

the current IDC,lin will be displayed as having a value of “0”.
3.8.1.2 Open-Circuit and Overload Monitoring

The P631 is equipped with an open-circuit monitoring function. If current IDC falls
below the set threshold MEASI: IDC < open ci rcuit, the signal MEA SI: Open

The input current is monitored in order to protect the 20 mA analog input against
overloading. If it exceeds the set threshold of 24.8 mA, the signal
MEAS I: Ov erload 20m A inpu t is issued.
3.8.2 Input for Connection of a Resistance Thermometer

This input is designed to connect a PT 100 resistance thermometer. The mapping
curve, R = f(T), of PT 100 resistance thermometers is defined in the IEC 751
standard. If the PT 100 resistance thermometer is connected using the 3-wire
method, then no further calibration is required.
Maximum Temperature Value Since the Last Reset

The result of a temperature measurement cannot only be read out as a direct
measured value (temperature T) or as a normalized value (temperature norm. T),
but also as the maximum value since the last reset (temperature Tmax).
For this the following menu points are available:
● MEASI : Temperature Tmax (maximum temperature value)

3.9 Configuration, Operating Mode, and Blocking of the Output

Relays (Function Group OUTP)
The P631 has output relays for the output of binary signals. The binary signal
assignment is freely configurable by the user.
3.9.1 Configuration of the Output Relays

One binary signal can be assigned to each output relay. The same binary signal
can be assigned to several output relays by configuration.
3.9.2 Operating Mode of the Output Relays

The user can set an operating mode for each output relay that determines
whether the output relay operates in a normally open arrangement (NO) or
normally closed arrangement (NC) and whether it operates in latching mode.
Depending on the selected operating mode, latching can be disabled, either
manually using a setting parameter or by an appropriately configured binary
signal input at the start of a new fault, signalized by the onset of a general
starting, or of a new system disturbance.

3.10.2 BCD Measured Data Output

The user can select a measurand for output in BCD form by assigning output
relays.
The selected measurand is available in BCD-coded form for the duration of the
set hold time MEA SO: H old t ime outpu t BCD. If the selected variable was
not measured, then there is no output of a measurand value.
3.10.2.1 Output of Measured Event Values

If the measured event value is updated during the hold time, the measurand
output memory is cleared and the hold time is re-started. This leads to an
immediate availability at the output of the updated value.
3.10.2.2 Output of Measured Operating Values

The selected measured operating value is available for the duration of the set
hold time. After the hold time has elapsed, the current value is saved and the
hold time is re-started. If the hold time has been set to blocked, the measured
operating value that has been output will be stored until the measured data
output function is reset.
3.10.2.3 Scaling of BCD Output

In order to define the resolution for measured data output the measurand range
(Mx,min ... Mx,max) in scaled form (as Mx,scal,min ... Mx,scal,max) and the
associated BCD display range (BCD,min ... BCD,max) have to be set.
● MEA SO: S cale d min . val . BCD
● ME ASO: S cale d m ax. val. BCD
● MEASO: BC D-Out m in. value
● MEA SO: BC D-Ou t max. valu e
The BCD display range should be set so that the value 399 is never exceeded. If
this should occur or if the measurand is outside the acceptable measuring range,
then the value for "Overflow" (all relays triggered) is transmitted.
Measurands Range
Measurands of the variable Mx Mx,RL1 ... Mx,RL2
Associated scaled measurands 0 ... 1
Scaling is made with reference to the complete range of values for the selected
measurand (variable Mx). The complete range of values is defined by their end
values Mx,RL1 and Mx,RL2. (Mx,RL1 and Mx,RL2 are listed in the operating
program under “minimum” and “maximum”.)

P631 3 Operation
3.10.3 Analog Measured Data Output

Analog output of measured data is two-channel.
The user can select two of the measurands available in the P631 for output in the
form of load-independent direct current. Three interpolation points per channel
can be defined for specific adjustments such as adjustment to the scaling of a
measuring instrument. The direct current that is output is displayed as a
measured operating value.
The selected measurand is output as direct current for the duration of the set
hold time MEA SO: Ho ld ti me ou tpu t A -1. If the selected variable was not
measured, then there is no output of a measurand value.
3.10.3.1 Output of Measured Event Values

If the measured event value is updated during the hold time, the measurand
output memory is cleared and the hold time is re-started. This leads to an
immediate availability at the output of the updated value.
3.10.3.2 Output of Measured Operating Values

The selected measured operating value is available for the duration of the set
hold time. After the hold time has elapsed, the current value is saved and the
hold time is re-started. If the hold time has been set to blocked, the measured
operating value that has been output will be stored until the measured data
output function is reset.
3.10.3.3 Configuration of Output Relays Assigned to the Output Channels

The user must keep in mind that direct current output only occurs when the
output relays assigned to the output channels are configured for MEA SO: Value
A-1 outp ut, since the output channels would otherwise remain short-circuited
(see the terminal connection diagrams at the end of Chapter 5, (p. 5-1)).
3.10.3.4 Scaling the Analog Display

In order to define the resolution for measured data output the measurand range
in scaled form and the associated display range have to be set. One additional
value for the knee point must also be defined. In this way the user can obtain an
analog output characteristic similar to the characteristic shown in Table, (p. 3-
56).
3.10.3.5 Measurand Range to be Output

The measurand range to be output is (Mx,min ... Mx,knee ... Mx,max), with:
● Mx,min: minimum value to be output
● Mx,knee: Knee-point value for the measurand range to be output
● Mx,max: maximum value to be output
This measurand range to be output is defined by setting the following
parameters:
● MEA SO: S cale d mi n. val. A -1 or MEA SO: Scaled min. val. A-2,
resp.
● MEASO : Scal ed k ne e val . A-1 or MEA SO: Scaled knee val. A -2,
resp.
● MEASO: Scal ed max. val. A -1 or MEA SO: Scaled max. val. A-2,
resp.
Scaling is made with reference to the complete range of values for the selected
measurand (variable Mx). The complete range of values is defined by their end

By setting MEASO: AnOu t m in. val. A -1, the user can specify the output
current that will be output when values are smaller than or equal to the set
minimum measured value to be transmitted. The setting at MEASO: AnO ut
max . va l. A-1 defines the output current that is output for the maximum
measured value to be transmitted. By defining the knee-point, the user can
obtain two characteristic curve sections with different slopes. When entering this
setting the user must keep in mind that only a rising/rising or falling/falling curve
sense is permitted (peaky or vee shapes not allowed). If the setting was not
properly entered, the signal SFMON: I nvalid scaling A -1 will be issued.
A check of the set characteristic and its acceptance by the P631, if the setting was
properly entered, will only occur after the P631 is switched on-line again (with the
setting M A I N : D e v i c e o n - l i n e).

3.11 Configuration and Operating Mode of the LED Indicators

(Function Group LED)
The P631 has 23 LED indicators for the indication of binary signals. Some of the
LED indicators are permanently assigned to fixed functions. The other LED
indicators are freely configurable. These freely configurable LEDs will emit either
red or green or amber light (amber is made up of red and green light and may
not be configured independently).
3.11.1 Configuring the LED Indicators

One binary signal can be assigned to each of the red and green LED color
indications. The same binary signal can be assigned to several LED indicators (or
colors), if required.
LED indicator Label Configuration
H 4 (red) TRIP With the P631 this LED indicator is customarily configured with
function MAI N: Ge n. tri p s ignal, but the configuration may
be modified.
H 4 (green) ― Function assignment to this green LED indicator is freely

configurable.
H 3 (amber) ALARM Permanently configured with function SFMON: Warning

H 2 (amber) OUT OF SERVICE Permanently configured with function MA IN: B locked/fault y.
H 1 (green) HEALTHY Not configurable. H 1 indicates the operational readiness of the

P631 (supply voltage is present).
H 17 (red) EDIT MODE Not configurable. H 17 indicates the input (edit) mode. Only
when the P631 is in this mode, can parameter settings be
changed by pressing the “Up” and “Down” keys. (See
Section 6.2, (p. 6-2))
H 5 to H 16 ― For each of these LED indicators both colors (red & green) may
H 18 to H 23 be configured freely and independently.
3.11.2 Layout of the LED Indicators

3.11.3 Operating Mode of the LED Indicators

For each of the freely configurable LED indicators, the operating mode can be
selected separately. This setting will determine whether the LED indicator will
operate either in energize-on-signal (ES) or normally-energized (NE) mode,
whether it will be flashing and whether it will be in latching mode. Latching is
disabled either manually via setting parameters or by an appropriately
configured binary signal input (see Section 3.12, (p. 3-62)) at the onset of a
new fault, signalized by the onset of a general starting, or of a new system
disturbance, depending on the selected operating mode.
Therefore the operating modes turn out to be the 2³=8 possible combinations of
the following components:
● flashing / continuous,
● energize-on-signal (ES) / normally-energized (NE),
● updating / latching with manual reset,
in addition to these there are the following 4 operating modes:
● energize-on-signal (ES) with reset after new fault (flashing / continuous)
and
● energize-on-signal (ES) with reset after new system disturbance (flashing /
continuous),
so that there are 12 possible operating modes in total.

3.12.1 Conditioning of the Measured Values

The secondary phase currents of the system transformers are fed to the P631.
The measured values are – electrically isolated – converted to normalized
electronics levels. The analog quantities are digitized and are thus available for
further processing.

3 Operation P631
3.12.2 Phase Reversal Function

The phase reversal function is intended to protect machines in pumped storage
power stations that are operated either as motors or as generators, depending
on the demand. In such applications it is common practice to swap two phases in
order to facilitate the pumping operation. Because of this, the P631 phase
reversal function can maintain correct operation of all protection functions even
if phase reversal is carried out within the protected zone.
The processing is done right after A/D conversion, such that the link between
physical transformer input and internal numerical signal will be swapped,
depending on the setting. (The measured values stored in the respective
measured value memories are swapped.) Thus all further processing of
measured values and protection functions remains unchanged.
Phase reversal can be set independently for each transformer end and in each
parameter subset. The parameters are included in function group MAIN because
phase reversal affects not only the differential protection function (DIFF), but also
the negative sequence elements of Inverse and Definite Time Overcurrent
protection functions (IDMTx, DTOCx) as well as Current Transformer Supervision
(CTS) and Measuring- Circuit Monitoring (MCM_x) functions.
PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 Description Range of Values

● A-B swapped
010 204 010 205 010 206 010 207 MAI N: P has e revers al b PSx ● B-C swapped
● C-A swapped
Using parameter subsets readily allows phase reversal to be activated via any
control interface (LOC, PC, COMMx) or via appropriately configured binary signal
inputs.
Since the currently active parameter subset is shown on the LC-display and may
be recalled from the recordings, phase reversal information is accessible. There
are however applications where an additional display of a phase reversal may be
useful. Such would be the case when recordings by a P631 are to be compared
with those by other devices not featuring phase reversal (e.g. Backup
overcurrent-time protection device) and without knowledge of the P631 setting
file. For this the following display is used:

3.12.3 Operating Data Measurement

The P631 has an operating data measurement function for the display of currents
and voltages measured as well as quantities derived from these measured
values. For the display of measured values, set lower thresholds need to be
exceeded, to avoid fluctuating small values from noise. If these lower thresholds
are not exceeded, the value Not measured is displayed. The following measured
variables are displayed:
● Phase currents of all three phases of both ends of the transformer
● Maximum phase current of each end of the transformer
● Minimum phase current of each end of the transformer
● Delayed and stored maximum phase current of each end of the transformer
● Positive- and negative-sequence current measured values of each end of
the transformer
● Current IN derived by the P631 from the sum of the phase currents for each
end of the transformer
● Angle between the phase currents for a given end of the transformer
● Angle between the currents of the same phase between two ends of the
transformer
The measured data are updated at approximately 1 s intervals. Updating is
interrupted if a general starting state occurs or if the self-monitoring function
detects a hardware fault.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-65

P631 3 Operation
3.12.3.1 Measured Current Values

The measured current values are displayed both as per-unit quantities referred
to the nominal quantities of the P631 and as primary quantities. To allow display
in primary values, the primary nominal current of the system current transformer
should be set in the P631.
3.12.3.2 Display of Delayed and Stored Maximum Phase Currents
Delayed Maximum Phase Current

The P631 offers the option of a delayed display of the maximum value of the
three phase currents (thermal ammeter function). The delayed maximum phase
current display is an exponential function of the maximum phase current IP,max
(see upper curve in Fig. 3-40, (p. 3-67)). The time after which the delayed
maximum phase current display will have reached 95 % of maximum phase
current IP,max is set at MAI N: Se ttl . t. IP ,max,de l.
Stored Maximum Phase Current

The stored maximum phase current follows the delayed maximum phase current.
If the value of the delayed maximum phase current is declining, then the highest
value of the delayed maximum phase current remains stored. The display
remains constant until the actual delayed maximum phase current exceeds the
value of the stored maximum phase current (see middle curve in Fig. 3-40, (p. 3-
67)). The stored maximum phase current is set to the actual value of the
delayed maximum phase current at MAI N: IP ,max p.u.,stored a, using end a
as an example (see lower curve in Fig. 3-40, (p. 3-67)).

P631 3 Operation
3.12.4 Configuring and Enabling the Device Functions

The P631 can be adapted to the requirements of a specific high-voltage system
by configuring the available function range. By including the desired P631
functions in the configuration and canceling all other, the user creates an
individually configured device appropriate to the specific application. Parameters,
signals and measured values of cancelled device functions are not displayed on
the local control panel. Functions of general applicability such as operating data
recording (OP_RC) or main functions (MAIN) cannot be cancelled.
3.12.4.1 Canceling a Device Function

The following conditions must be met before a P631 function can be cancelled or
removed:
● The P631 function must be disabled.
● None of the functions of the P631 function to be cancelled can be assigned
to a binary input.
● None of the signals of the P631 function can be assigned to a binary output
or an LED indicator.
● None of the functions of the P631 function to be cancelled may be selected
in a list parameter setting.
If the above conditions are met, proceed through the “Configuration” branch of
the menu tree to access the setting relevant for the P631 function to be
cancelled. If, for example, the “LIMIT” function group is to be cancelled, the
setting of LI MIT: Function gr ou p LIMIT is set to Without. To re-include the
“LIMIT” function in the P631 configuration, the same setting is accessed and its
value is changed to With.
The P631 function to which a setting, a signal, or a measured value belongs is
defined by the function group designation (example: “LIMIT”). In the following
description of the P631 functions, it is presumed that the corresponding P631
function is included in the configuration.

both configured. When neither or only one of the two functions is configured, the
condition is interpreted as “Protection externally enabled”. If the triggering
signals of the binary signal inputs are implausible – i.e. both are at logic level =
“1” – then the last plausible state remains stored in memory.
If the protection is disabled via a binary signal input that is configured for

Switching from standard to daylight saving time or back requires correct time
setting frames from the time synchronization master (according the applied
communication protocol).
The data stored in the operating data memory, the monitoring signal memory
and the event memories are date- and time-tagged. For correct tagging, the date
and time need to be set in the P631.
The time of different devices may be synchronized by a pulse given to an
appropriately configured binary signal input. The P631 evaluates the rising edge.
This will set the clock to the nearest full minute, rounding either up or down. If
several start/end signals occur (bouncing of a relay contact), only the last edge is
evaluated.
3.12.11.1 Priority Control of Time Synchronization

The protection device provides several ways of synchronizing the internal clock:
● Telegram with the time of day via the communication interface COMM1/IEC
(full time)
● Telegram with the time of day via the communication interface COMM2/PC
(full time)
● IRIG-B Signal (IRIGB; time of day only)
● Impulse every minute via a binary signal input (MAIN), see Fig. 3-54, (p. 3-
81) and the preceding section.
A primary and a backup source for time of day synchronization may be set,
where both provide the four options listed above.
MAIN: Pri m.Source Ti me Syn c
MAIN: BackupS ourceTi me Sync
With this feature synchronization occurs continuously from the primary source as
long as time synchronization telegrams are received within a time-out period set
at MAIN: Time sync. time-ou t.
When selecting the time telegram via IEC as the primary source the device will
expect time synchronization telegrams from server SNTP 2 after server SNTP 1
has become defective, before it will switch over to the backup source.
Time synchronization occurs solely from the primary source when the time-out
stage is blocked.

3.12.12 Resetting Actions

Stored data such as event logs, measured fault data etc, can be cleared in
several ways. The following types of resetting actions are possible:
● Automatic resetting of the event signals provided by LED indicators (given
that the LED operating mode has been set accordingly) and of the display
of measured event data on the local control panel LCD whenever a new
event occurs. In this case only the displays on the local control panel LCD
are cleared but not the internal memories such as the fault memory.
● Resetting of LED indicators and measured event data displayed on the local
control panel LCD by pressing the “Clear” key located on the local
control panel. By selecting the required function at L OC: Fct. reset k ey
further memories may be assigned which will then also be cleared when
the “Clear” key is pressed.
● Selective resetting of a particular memory type (e.g. only the fault memory)
via setting parameters. (For this example: Navigate to menu point
FT_R C: R ese t re cord. USER and set to execute, see also the exact step-
by-step description in Section 6.11.7, (p. 6-27).)
● Selective resetting of a particular memory type (e.g. only the fault memory)
through appropriately configured binary signal inputs. (For this example:
Assign parameter FT_RC: Re se t re cord. EXT to the relevant binary
signal input e.g. INP: Fct. assignm. U xxx .)
● Group resetting by setting parameters, by navigating to menu point
MAIN : Group re se t 1 USER (or MAI N: Group rese t 2 USER) and
setting it to execute. For this the relevant memories (i.e. those to be reset)
must be assigned to parameter MAI N: Fct. assign. reset 1 (or
MAI N: Fct .assign . res et 2, resp.)
● Group resetting through appropriately configured binary signal inputs.
(That is assign parameter MAI N: Grou p r es et 1 EXT (or MA IN: Gr oup
rese t 2 EXT) to the relevant binary signal input, e.g. INP: Fct. assignm. U
xxx after memories to be reset have been assigned to parameter
MAI N: Fct .assi gn . res et 1 (or MA IN: Fct.assign. reset 2).
● General resetting by setting parameters (menu point MAIN: Genera l
reset USER). All memories, counters, events etc. are reset without any
special configuration options.
● General resetting through appropriately configured binary signal inputs.
(MAI N: General re se t EXT is assigned to the relevant binary signal
input.) All memories, counters, events etc. are reset without any special
configuration options.
Should several resetting actions have been configured for one particular memory
then they all have equal priority.
In the event of a cold restart or simultaneous failure of both internal battery and
substation auxiliary supply, all stored counter values will be lost.

Selecting the Parameter Subset via Binary Inputs

If the binary signal inputs are to be used for parameter subset selection, then the
P631 first checks to determine whether at least two binary inputs are configured
for parameter subset selection. If this is not the case, then the parameter subset
selected via the function setting will be active. The P631 also checks whether the
signals present at the binary signal inputs allow an unambiguous parameter
subset selection. This is only true when only one binary signal input is set to a
logic level of “1”. If more than one signal input is set to a logic level of “1”, then
the parameter subset previously selected remains active. Should a dead interval
occur while switching between parameter subsets (this is the case if all binary
signal inputs have a logic level of “0”), then the stored hold time is started. While
this timer stage is running, the previously selected parameter subset remains
active. As soon as a signal input has a logic level of “1”, the associated
parameter subset becomes active. If, after the stored time has elapsed, there is
still no signal input with a logic level of “1”, the parameter subset selected via
the function parameter becomes active.
If, after the supply voltage is turned on, no logic level of “1” is present at any of
the binary signal inputs selected for the parameter subset selection, then the
parameter subset selected via the function parameter will become active once
the stored time has elapsed. The previous parameter subset remains active while
the stored hold timer stage is running.
Parameter subset selection may also occur during a starting condition. When
subset selection is handled via binary signal inputs, a maximum inherent delay of
approximately 100 ms must be taken into account.
Settings for which only one address is given in the following sections are equally
effective for all four parameter subsets.

P631 3 Operation
3.14 Self-Monitoring (Function Group SFMON)

Comprehensive monitoring routines in the P631 ensure that internal faults are
detected and do not lead to malfunctions. The selection of function assignments
to the alarm signal includes, among others, self-monitoring signals from the
communications monitor, measuring-circuit monitoring, open-circuit monitoring
and the logic outputs.
3.14.1 Tests During Start-up

After the supply voltage has been turned on, various tests are carried out to
verify full operability of the P631. If the P631 detects a fault in one of the tests,
then start-up is terminated. The display shows which test was running when
termination occurred. No control actions may be carried out. A new attempt to
start up the P631 can only be initiated by turning the supply voltage off and then
on again.
3.14.2 Cyclic Tests

After start-up has been successfully completed, cyclic self-monitoring tests will
be run during operation. In the event of a positive test result, a specified
monitoring signal will be issued and stored in a non-volatile(NV) memory – the
monitoring signal memory – along with the assigned date and time (see
Section 3.16, (p. 3-92)).
The self-monitoring function monitors the built-in battery for any drop below the
minimum acceptable voltage level. If the associated monitoring signal is
displayed, then the power supply module should be replaced within a month,
since otherwise there is the danger of data loss if the supply voltage should fail.
Section 12.1, (p. 12-2) gives further information on maintenance procedures.

3 Operation P631
3.14.4 Device Response

The response of the P631 is dependent on the type of monitoring signal. The
following responses are possible:
● Signaling Only
If there is no malfunction associated with the monitoring signal, then only a
signal is issued, and there are no further consequences. This situation
exists, for example, when internal data acquisition memories overflow.
● Selective Blocking
If a fault is diagnosed solely in an area that does not affect the protective
functions, then only the affected area is blocked. This would apply, for
example, to the detection of a fault on the communication module or in the
area of the PC interface.
● Warm Restart
If the self-monitoring function detects a fault that might be eliminated by a
system restart – such as a fault caused by excessive electro-magnetic
interference –, then a procedure called a warm restart is automatically
initiated. During this procedure, as with any start-up, the computer system
is reset to a defined state. A warm restart is characterized by the fact that
no stored data and, in particular, no setting parameters are affected by the
procedure. A warm restart can also be triggered manually by control action.
During a warm restart sequence the protective functions and the
communication through serial interfaces will be blocked.
If the same fault is detected after a warm restart has been triggered by the
self-monitoring system within the set SF MO N: Mon .s ig. rete nt ion, then
the protective functions remain blocked but communication through the
serial interfaces will usually be possible again.
If a corrupted setting is diagnosed during the checksum test, which is part
of the self-monitoring procedure, settings are restored from an internal
back-up memory. Nevertheless, in order to get the device back to well
defined operation conditions a warm restart is executed.
For any warm restart initiated by self-monitoring, the root cause (alarm
event) is logged in the monitoring buffer.
● Cold Restart
In case the recovery of corrupted settings failed (e.g. because of an
electrical defect of the memory chip), then a cold restart is carried out. This
is necessary because the P631 cannot identify which parameter in the
subset is corrupted. A cold restart causes all internal memories to be reset
to a defined state. This means that all the protection device settings are
also erased after a cold restart. In order to establish a safe initial state, the
default values have been selected so that the protective functions are
blocked. Both the monitoring signal that triggered the cold restart and the
value indicating parameter loss are entered in the monitoring signal
memory.
A cold restart can also be triggered manually by control action (to
intentionally erase all memories and reset the device to default settings).
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-89

P631 3 Operation
3.14.5 Monitoring Signal Memory

Depending on the type of internal fault detected the P631 will respond by trying
to eliminate the problem with a warm restart. (See above; for further details read
also about P631 behavior with problems in Chapter 11, (p. 11-1).) Whether or
not this measure will suffice can only be determined if the monitoring signal has
not already been stored in the monitoring signal memory because of a previous
fault. If it was already stored and a second fault is detected then, depending on
the type of fault detected, the P631 will be blocked after the second warm
restart.
In order to better monitor this behavior the parameter at SFMON: Mon.sig.
re t ent ion is applied. This parameter may either be set to ‘Blocked’ or to a time
duration (in hours). (It is, however, discouraged to set it to 0, because in this
case, there would be no blocking at all, so that there would be the danger of
maloperation in case of a permanent failure.)
The default for this timer stage is Blocked, i.e. blocking of the protection device
with two identical faults occurs independently of the time elapsed since the first
fault monitoring signal was issued.
The behavior caused by sporadic faults could lead to an unwanted blocking of the
P631 if the monitoring signal memory had not been reset in the interim, for
example, because the substation is difficult to reach in wintertime or reading-out
and clearing of the monitoring signal memory via the communication interfaces
was not enabled. To defuse this problem it is suggested to set the function
parameter to a specific time period so that blocking will only occur if the same
fault occurs again within this time period. Otherwise, the P631 will continue to
operate normally after a warm restart.

3.15 Operating Data Recording (Function Group OP_RC)

For the continuous recording of processes in system operation as well as of
events, a non-volatile memory is provided (cyclic buffer). The “operationally
relevant” signals, each fully tagged with date and time at signal start and signal
end, are entered in chronological order. The signals relevant for operation
include control actions such as function disabling and enabling and triggers for
testing and resetting. The start and end of system events that represent a
deviation from normal operation such as overloads, ground faults or short-circuits
are also recorded. The operating data memory can be cleared/reset.

3.16 Monitoring Signal Recording (Function Group MT_RC)

The monitoring signals generated by the self-monitoring function are recorded in
the monitoring signal memory. The memory buffer allows for a maximum of
30 entries. If more than 29 monitoring signals occur without interim memory
clearance, the SFMON: O ve rf low MT_RC signal is entered as the last entry.
Monitoring signals prompted by a hardware fault in the unit are always entered
in the monitoring signal memory. Monitoring signals prompted by a peripheral
fault can be entered into the monitoring signal memory, if desired. The user can
select this option by setting an “m out of n” parameter (see Section 3.14, (p. 3-
88)).
If at least one entry is stored in the monitoring signal memory, this fact is
signaled by the red LED indicator H 3 on the local control panel. Each new entry
causes the LED to flash (on/off/on....).
The monitoring signal memory can only be cleared manually by a control action.
Entries in the monitoring signal memory are not cleared automatically, even if
the corresponding test in a new test cycle now shows the P631 to be healthy.
The contents of the monitoring signal memory can be read from the local control
panel or through the PC or communication interface. The time and date
information assigned to the individual entries can be read out through the PC or
communication interface or from the local control panel.

The P631 determines the measured fault data for a particular point in time
during a fault. Depending on the protection function that recognizes a fault, the
criterion for the determination of the recording start time is selected by the P631.
If, for example, the differential protection function detects a fault then the P631
determines the measured fault data at the time during the fault when the
maximum differential current was measured. The measured fault data are
displayed at the end of the fault. If several protection functions detect a fault
then the criterion is selected on the basis of the priorities given in the table
below. The selected criterion is displayed at the P631.
Priority Function Recognizing the Fault Acquisition Time Criterion
1 Differential protection function Maximum differential current
2 Definite-time overcurrent protection or inverse-time Maximum restraining current

Protection signals, including the signals during the settable pre-fault and post-
fault times, are logged in chronological order with reference to the specific fault.
A total of eight faults, each involving a maximum of 200 start or end signals, can
be stored in the non-volatile fault memories. After eight faults have been
recorded, the oldest fault recording will be overwritten, unless memories have
been cleared in the interim. If more than 199 start or end signals have occurred
during a single fault, then FT_RC: Fault m e m. over flow will be entered as the
last signal. If the time and date are changed during the pre-fault time, the signal
FT_R C: Fault y t ime tag is generated.
In addition to the fault signals, the measured fault data will also be entered in the
fault memory.

3.20.5 Fault Value Recording

The following analog signals are recorded:
● Phase currents of both ends of the transformer
The signals are recorded before, during and after a fault. The window length for
oscillography recording before and after the fault can be set. A maximum time
period of 16.4 s (for 50 Hz) or 13.7 s (for 60 Hz) is available for recording. This
period can be divided among a maximum of eight faults. The maximum
recording time per fault can be set. If a fault, including the set pre-fault and post-
fault times, lasts longer than the set maximum recording time, then recording
will terminate when the set maximum recording time is reached.
The pre-fault time is exactly adhered to if it is shorter than the set maximum
recording time. Otherwise the pre-fault time is set to the maximum recording
time minus a sampling increment, and the post-fault time is set to zero.
If the maximum recording time is exceeded, the analog values for the oldest fault
are overwritten, but not the binary values. If more than eight faults have
occurred since the last reset, then all data for the oldest fault are overwritten.
The analog oscillography data of the fault record can only be read out through
the PC or communication interfaces.
When the supply voltage is interrupted or after a warm restart, the values of all
faults remain stored.

P631 3 Operation
3.21 Differential Protection (Function Group DIFF)

The P631 is designed for the protection of transformers as well as for the
protection of motors and generators and of other two-winding arrangements.
For application of the device as transformer differential protection, amplitude
matching is required. This is achieved simply by setting of the reference power ‑
generally the nominal power of the transformer ‑ and of the primary nominal
voltages for all windings of the transformer.
Vector group matching is achieved by the straightforward input of the relevant
vector group identification number. For special applications, zero-sequence
current filtering may be deactivated. For conditions where it is possible to load
the transformer with a voltage in excess of the nominal voltage, the overfluxing
restraint prevents inappropriate tripping.
For application as differential protection device for motors or generators, the
harmonic restraint (inrush compensation) can be deactivated. The start-up of
directly switched asynchronous motors represents a problem in differential
protection due to transient transformer saturation caused by a displacement of
the start-up current for relatively high primary time constants. Even under these
unfavorable measurement conditions, the P631 exhibits an excellent stable
performance due to the application of a saturation discriminator.
All observations below are based on the assumption that the system current
transformers are connected to the P631 in standard configuration (see
Section 3.12.1, (p. 3-62)). In particular, the application as transformer differential
protection device presupposes that winding ‘a’ corresponds to the high voltage
side of the transformer. For a non-standard connection, the appropriate settings
must be selected (see Chapter 7, (p. 7-1)).
3.21.1 Enabling or Disabling Differential Protection

Differential protection can be enabled or disabled from the local control panel.
Moreover, enabling can be done separately for each parameter subset.

3.21.2 Amplitude Matching

In order to set the amplitude matching for the protected object, a reference
power - identical for all windings - needs to be defined. For two-winding
arrangements, the nominal power will usually be the reference power. The
individual reference currents for each winding of the protected object are then
calculated by the P631 on the basis of the set reference power and the set
primary nominal voltages of the transformer.

3 ⋅ V nom,a

I ref ,b =
3 ⋅ V nom,b
Sref : reference power

I ref ,a, I ref ,b: reference current of winding a or b, respectively
V nom,a, V nom,b: nominal voltage of winding a or b, respectively
The P631 calculates the matching factors on the basis of the reference currents
and the set primary nominal currents of the system transformers.

Reference currents and matching factors are displayed at the P631.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-107

P631 3 Operation
The P631 checks that the reference currents and matching factors are within
their permissible ranges. The matching factors must satisfy the following
conditions:
● The matching factors must always be ≤ 16.
● The value for the second highest matching factor (kam,mid) must always be
≥ 0.5.
Should the P631 calculate reference currents or matching factors not satisfying
the above conditions then an alarm will be issued and the P631 will be blocked
automatically.
The measured values of the phase currents of the windings of the protected
object are multiplied by the relevant matching factors and are then available for
further processing. Consequently, all threshold values and measured values
always refer back to the relevant reference currents rather than to the
transformer nominal currents or the nominal currents of the device.

P631 3 Operation
3.21.3 Vector Group Matching

Vector group matching means that the low voltage-side currents are rotated with
respect to the high voltage-side currents according to the vector group of the
transformer to be protected. Thereby, phase coincidence with the high voltage-
side currents is restored. With the P631, this is achieved by calculating the
relevant vector difference or where appropriate, by sign inversion for the low
voltage-side phase currents (end b). Care must be taken to avoid distortion of
the amplitude matching by this operation. For all odd vector groups, this is
achieved by means of the factor 1/√3. Using vector diagrams, it can be shown
that the operations listed in the following table will lead to phase coincidence of
the high and low voltage-side currents while maintaining the amplitude
matching. In Fig. 3-77, (p. 3-110), such a vector diagram is depicted for a
transformer having the vector group Yd5 as an example. By subtraction of each
phase current from the cyclically leading phase current and subsequent
multiplication by the factor 1/√3, the desired matching is achieved.

3.21.4 Zero-sequence Current Filtering

Table 3-2, (p. 3-111) shows that the zero-sequence current is subtracted from
the phase currents of winding a and, for all even vector groups, from the phase
currents of winding b. According to the theory of symmetric components, the
zero-sequence current is calculated as follows:
1
I̲am,0,z = . I̲ + I̲am,B,z + I̲am,C ,z
3 am,A,z
z: end a or b
I̲am: amplitude-matched current
Zero-sequence filtering may be disabled separately for each end.
In general this disabling of zero-sequence filtering is intended for even-numbered
vector groups. Should the side considered here require the setting of an odd-
numbered vector group while at the same time no operational system star point
grounding is provided within the protected area, then, in view of increased
sensitivity with single-pole internal faults, it is recommended that the respective
zero-sequence current is fed to the individual measuring systems again.

3.21.5 Tripping Characteristics

The differential and restraining current values for each measurement system are
calculated from the current values after amplitude and vector group matching.
The following equations are valid for uniformly defined current arrows relative to
the protected equipment, e.g. all the current arrows of all windings point either
towards the protected object or away from it.
Calculation of differential and restraining currents:
I d ,y = | I s,y,a + I s,y,b |
I R,y = 0.5 ⋅ | I s, y,a − I s, y,b |
The tripping characteristic of the P631 line differential protection device has two
knee points. The first knee-point depends on the setting at DIFF: Idiff> PS x
and is on the intersection with the tripping characteristic for single-side feed.
If the current transformer supervision (CTS) function is used, the basic pick-up
sensitivity DIFF: I diff> P Sx can be increased to a set value
(DI FF: I diff>(C TS) PSx) when a CT fault is detected. See details given in the
section describing the CTS function group.

conditions close to the trip characteristic. Upon differential starting

DI FF: S ta rti ng, the hysteresis gets activated, i.e. the basic threshold Idiff> (or
Idiff>(CTS) respectively) is reduced to 90% of the set value. All other
characteristic settings are unchanged. Thus the characteristic is "vertically"
moved towards lower differential current values.
Along with this settable operate delay a starting signal was introduced for
logging purposes. DI FF: Star tin g is signaled if a valid differential protection trip
condition is determined, i.e. at least one measuring system has triggered (=
measures Idiff/IR within tripping area) and is not blocked from inrush or overflux
blocking, saturation discriminator or external binary input.
If differential protection is set to operate without operate delay, this starting
signal is raised together with the tripping signal.

3.21.6 Rapid (high-set) Differential Protection

Above the adjustable threshold DI FF : I di ff>> PSx of the differential current,
the P631 will trip without taking into account either the harmonic restraint or the
overfluxing stabilization. If the differential current exceeds the adjustable
threshold DI FF: I di ff>>> P Sx, the restraining current and the saturation
discriminator are no longer taken into account either, that is the P631 will trip
regardless of the restraining value and the saturation discriminator.

3.21.7 Inrush Stabilization (2nd Harmonic Restraint)

When an unloaded transformer is connected, the inrush current at unfavorable
switching instants such as for voltage zero, may have values that exceed the

3 Operation P631
transformer nominal current several times over. It takes some time for the
current to assume its small stationary value. Since the high inrush current flows
on the connected side only, the tripping characteristic of the P631 differential
protection may give rise to a trip unless stabilizing action is taken. The fact that
the inrush current has a high proportion of harmonics having twice the system
frequency offers a possibility of stabilization against tripping by the inrush
current.
The P631 filters the differential current. The fundamental wave I ( f 0) and second
harmonic components I (2 ⋅ f 0) of the differential current are determined. If the
I (2 ⋅ f 0)
ratio exceeds a specific adjustable value in at least one measuring
I ( f 0)
system, tripping is blocked optionally in one of the following modes:
● across all three measuring systems
● selectively for one measuring system (see Fig. 3-83, (p. 3-117)).
There will be no blocking if the differential current exceeds the set threshold

Fig. 3-84: Overfluxing stabilization
If the transformer is loaded with a voltage in excess of the nominal voltage,

saturation effects occur. Without stabilization, these could lead to differential
protection tripping. The fact that the current of the protected object under

saturation conditions has a high proportion of harmonics having five times the
system frequency serves as the basis of stabilization.
The P631 filters the differential current. The fundamental wave I ( f 0) and fifth
harmonic components I (5 ⋅ f 0) of the differential current are determined. If the
I (5 ⋅ f 0)
ratio exceeds the set value DIFF: Ov. I( 5f0)/I(f0) PSx in a
I ( f 0)
measuring system, and if the differential current is smaller than 4·Iref, then
tripping is blocked selectively for that measuring system.
3.21.9 Saturation Discriminator

Up to a certain limit, stability in the event of external faults is ensured by means
of the bias. Due to the triple-slope tripping characteristic, the stabilization is
particularly pronounced for high currents. However, as an additional safeguard
for through-currents with transformer saturation, the P631 is provided with a
saturation discriminator.
After each zero crossing of the restraining current, the saturation discriminator
monitors the occurrence of the differential current over time. For internal faults,
the differential current appears after a zero crossing together with the restraining
current. In the case of passing currents with transformer saturation, however, a
differential current will not appear until transformer saturation begins.
Accordingly, a locking signal is generated on the basis of level monitoring of the
differential current as compared to the restraining current, and thus the desired
through-stabilization is achieved. Locking is restricted to the measuring system
where an external fault was detected.
There will be no blocking if the differential current exceeds the set threshold

The three phase currents are monitored by the P631 with three-stage functions
to detect when they exceed the set thresholds. One of two different threshold
types can be active. The “dynamic” thresholds are active for the set hold time for
the “dynamic parameters” (see Section 3.12.5, (p. 3-74)) and the “normal”
thresholds are active when no hold time is running.
There is also a separate setting for each overcurrent stage whether the starting
decision shall be based on the fundamental or on the r.m.s. value.

If the current exceeds the set thresholds in one phase, timer stages are started.
Once the time delays have elapsed, a trip signal is issued. The timer stages can

P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-125

P631 3 Operation
The P631 calculates the negative-sequence current from the three phase current
values according to this equation. This is based on the setting at MAIN: Phase
sequence.
Phase sequence A-B-C:
1
I̲neg =
3
⋅ | (I̲ A + a̲2I̲ B + a̲I̲C ) |
Phase sequence A-C-B:
1
I̲neg =
3
⋅ | (I̲ A + a̲I̲ B + a̲2I̲C ) |
j120°
a̲ = e
a̲2 = e j240°
The negative-sequence current is monitored by the P631 with three-stage

functions to detect when it exceeds the set thresholds. One of two different
threshold types can be active. The “dynamic” thresholds are active for the set
hold time for the “dynamic parameters” (see Section 3.12.5, (p. 3-74)) and the
“normal” thresholds are active when no hold time is running. If the current
exceeds the set thresholds in one phase, timer stages are started. Once the time
delays have elapsed, a trip signal is issued. The timer stages can be blocked by
appropriately configured binary signal inputs.
The first stage of the negative-sequence current protection function can
optionally be blocked by the inrush stabilization function of differential
protection.
3.22.4 Residual Current Stages

The residual current is monitored by the P631 with three-stage functions to
detect when it exceeds the set thresholds. One of two different threshold types
can be active. The “dynamic” thresholds are active for the set hold time for the
“dynamic parameters” (see Section 3.12.5, (p. 3-74)) and the “normal”
thresholds are active when no hold time is running.
If the residual current exceeds the set thresholds, timer stages are started. Once
the time delays have elapsed, a signal is issued. If the operating mode of the
general starting decision is set to With start. IN/Ineg, a trip signal is issued as
well.
There is also a separate setting for each residual current stage whether the
starting decision shall be based on the fundamental or on the r.m.s. value.
The timer stages can be blocked by appropriately configured binary signal
inputs. In addition these timer stages can also be automatically blocked by
single-pole or multipole starting (depending on the setting).

3.22.5 General Starting

If the current exceeds one of the set thresholds of the phase current stages, a
general starting decision is issued. The user can select whether the starting of
the negative-sequence and residual current stages should be taken into account
in the general starting decision. The general starting triggers a timer stage. A
signal is issued when the time delay of this stage has elapsed.

3.23.2 Time-Dependent Characteristics

The measuring systems for phase currents, residual current and negative-
sequence current operate independently of each other and can be set
separately. The user can select from a large number of characteristics (see table
below). The measured variable is the maximum phase current, the negative-
sequence current, or the residual current, depending on the measuring system.
The tripping characteristics available for selection are shown in the following

Fig. 3-102: Phase current stage.
The three phase currents are monitored by the P631 to detect when they exceed
the set thresholds. Alternatively, two different thresholds can be active. The
“dynamic” threshold is active for the set hold time of the “dynamic parameters”
(see Section 3.12.5, (p. 3-74)); the “normal” threshold is active when no hold
time is running.
3-136 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

3 Operation P631
It is also possible to select whether the starting decision shall be based on the
fundamental or on the r.m.s. value.
The IDMT protection function will be triggered when the 1.05-fold of the set
reference current value is exceeded in one phase. The P631 will then determine
the maximum current flowing in the three phases and this value is used for
further processing.
Depending on the characteristic selected and the current magnitude, the P631
will determine the tripping time. Furthermore, a minimum tripping time can be
set; the tripping time will not fall below this minimum independently of the
magnitude of the current.
The IDMT protection function can optionally be blocked by the inrush stabilization
function of differential protection.
3.23.4 Negative-Sequence Current Stage

The P631 calculates the negative-sequence current from the three phase current
values according to this equation. This is based on the setting at MAI N: Phase
seque nce.
Phase sequence A-B-C:
1
I̲neg =
3
⋅ | (I̲ A + a̲2I̲ B + a̲I̲C ) |
Phase sequence A-C-B:
1
I̲neg =
3
⋅ | (I̲ A + a̲I̲ B + a̲2I̲C ) |
j120°
a̲ = e
a̲2 = e j240°
The negative-sequence current is monitored by the P631 to detect when it

exceeds the set thresholds. Alternatively, two different thresholds can be active.
The “dynamic” thresholds are active for the set hold time for the “dynamic
parameters” (see Section 3.12.5, (p. 3-74)) and the “normal” thresholds are
active when no hold time is running. The IDMT protection will trigger when the
1.05-fold of the set reference current value is exceeded. Dependent on the
characteristic selected and the negative-sequence current magnitude the P631
will determine the tripping time. Furthermore, a minimum tripping time can be
set; the tripping time will not fall below this minimum independent of the
magnitude of the current.

Fig. 3-104: Residual current stage.
The residual current is monitored by the P631 to detect when it exceeds the set
thresholds. Alternatively, two different thresholds can be active. The “dynamic”
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-139

P631 3 Operation
threshold is active for the set hold time for the “dynamic parameters” (see
Section 3.12.5, (p. 3-74)) and the “normal” threshold is active when no hold time
is running.
It is also possible to select whether the starting decision shall be based on the
fundamental or on the r.m.s. value.
The IDMT protection will trigger when the 1.05-fold of the set reference current
value is exceeded by the residual current. Dependent on the characteristic
selected and the residual current magnitude the P631 will determine the tripping
time. Moreover the tripping time will under no circumstances fall below a
settable minimum time threshold irrespective of the residual current flow
magnitude.
The inverse-time stage can be blocked by an appropriately configured binary
signal input. In addition the inverse-time stage can also be automatically blocked
by singlepole or multi-pole starting (depending on the setting).
3.23.6 Hold Time

The setting of the hold time defines the time period during which the IDMT
protection starting time is stored after the starting has dropped out. Should
starting recur during the hold time period then the time of the renewed starting
will be added to the time period stored. When the starting times sum reach the
tripping time value determined by the P631 then the corresponding signal will be
issued. Should starting not recur during the hold time period then, depending on
the setting, the memory storing the accumulated starting times value will either
be cleared without delay or according to the characteristic set. In Fig. 3-105,
(p. 3-141), the effect of the hold time is shown by the example of a phase
current stage.

3.23.7 General Starting

A general starting is triggered if the current in one phase exceeds the 1.05-fold
of the set reference current value. It can be selected whether the starting of the
negativesequence and residual current stages should be taken into account in
the general starting decision. The general starting triggers a timer stage. A signal
is issued when the time period of this stage has elapsed.

The measured values to be monitored by the respective thermal overload

THRM1: Select . meas. i npu t selects a particular transformer end.
Then the setting THR M1 : Sel e ct curre nt PSx specifies whether the maximum
RMS phase current (of the selected transformer end) shall be used, or the

residual current calculated from the three phase currents (of the selected
transformer end), or the residual current directly measured at the respective
current transformer.
3.24.4 Tripping Characteristics

The selected current (THRM1: I, see Section 3.24.3, (p. 3-144)) of the selected
transformer end is used to track a first-order thermal replica according to
IEC 255-8. The following parameters will govern the tripping parameters:
● The set thermal time constant (τ) of the protected object
THR M1: Tim.con st. 1,>I bl P Sx
● The tripping threshold Δϑtrip set at THRM1: R el. O/T t rip PSx
● The accumulated thermal load Δϑ0
● The updated measured coolant temperature Θc for the protected object
● The maximum permissible coolant temperature Θc,max set at
THRM 1: Max.pe r m.cool. tmpPSx
● The maximum permissible object temperature Θmax set at
THRM 1: Max.per m.obj .tmp.P Sx
● If the value of the selected current (THRM1: I) is greater than 10·Iref then
only the fixed maximum value 10·Iref is used for calculating the tripping
time.
The object temperature is calculated from the selected current (THRM1: I) and
can be displayed at THR M1: Obj e ct te mpe rat. ,TH1. The coolant temperature
is either measured via the PT 100 input or via a 20 mA input, or a default
temperature value is used instead. This choice is governed by the setting at
THRM1: Sele ct CTA PSx. The coolant temperature is displayed at
THRM1: Coolant te mp. TH 1. The difference between the settings for the
maximum permissible temperatures of the protected object and the coolant can
be displayed at THRM1: O/T f.Iref pers is t 1.
The tripping characteristics are then defined by the equation:
( ) I 2
− Δϑ0
I ref
t = τ ⋅ ln
( )
I
I ref
2
− Δϑtrip ⋅ 1 −( Θc − Θc,max
Θmax − Θc,max )
The setting for the operating mode selects an “absolute” or “relative” replica. If
the setting is for “Absolute replica”, the P631 will operate with a fixed trip
threshold Δtrip of 100 %.

3.24.5 Coolant Temperature Acquisition

To permit acquisition of the coolant temperature, an analogue I/O module Y must
be fitted to the P631. If this module is not present then the setting at
THR M1: D efau lt C TA P Sx is used in the calculation of the tripping time.

3.25.3 Monitoring Condition

If CTS is ready, it will monitor the positive- and negative-sequence currents from
both transformer ends (a, b).
A CT fault is detected when the following conditions are simultaneously present:
● The positive-sequence current exceeds the set threshold Ipos> in both
winding ends. This means that CTS can operate only if a minimum load
current is present in the protected object.
● The negative- to positive-sequence current ratio exceeds a high set
threshold value Ineg/Ipos>> in a single winding end.
● In the other end, the negative- to positive-sequence current ratio is smaller
than the low set threshold value Ineg/Ipos>, or no significant current is
present (i.e. the positive-sequence current is lower than the Ipos>
threshold).
In such a case, there is a fault in the secondary circuit of the CT at the
transformer end where a high negative-sequence current is present.
Because this function uses negative-sequence currents, it can only detect
unbalanced CT faults. In practice, this does not present a problem as the
occurrence of a three-pole CT fault is very unlikely.

3.25.4 Signaling and Indication

Triggering of the CTS function is signaled by multiple signals as well as by single
signals referring to the respective ends. Beside the updated signals latched
signals are also available in order to achieve stable signaling behavior and a
permanent differential protection characteristic with reduced sensitivity when,
for instance, intermittent faults have occurred. The updated signal as well as the
stored signal are time-delayed in order to suppress any signaling caused by a
transient event. On the other hand, instantaneous signals are used to block or
3-152 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

3 Operation P631
restrain the differential protection functions as fast as possible. As soon as a CTS

condition is detected (C TS: I dif f>( CTS) acti ve is present), the function will
raise the differential protection low set threshold to the D IFF : Idiff>(CTS) PSx
setting; see Fig. 3-120, (p. 3-153).
The setting for this value determines the CTS operating mode:
● Signaling only
DI FF: Id iff>(CTS) PSx = DIFF: Idiff > PSx. Differential protection
remains unrestricted, but there is a risk of unwanted tripping occurring
under load current.
● Restricted operation
DI FF : I di ff>( CTS) P Sx = maximum load current. This will permit the safe
differential protection behavior, even during CT failure. There will be no
unwanted trip under any load condition, but protection will remain
operational for internal faults with currents exceeding the load current.
● Blocking
D IFF: Idiff>(CTS) P Sx = DIFF: Idi f f>> P Sx. In practice differential
protection is blocked for all currents under normal operating conditions.

command.
3.25.6 Multiple Signaling from the CTS Function

The signals issued by the CTS function (and/or measuring circuit monitoring, see

3.26.2 Measuring-Circuit Monitoring

The negative- to positive-sequence current ratio is used as a criterion for
measuring-circuit monitoring. The measuring-circuit monitoring function is
triggered when the set ratio value, Ineg/Ipos, is exceeded and either the negative-
or the positive-sequence current exceeds 0.02 Inom. After the set operate time-
delay has elapsed, a warning is issued.
The measuring-circuit monitoring functions can be used to detect broken
conductors on the CTs' primary sides.
● The functions can now be blocked individually via input signals set at
MCM_x: Blocking EXT.
● When the triggering condition is met an instantaneous starting signal is
raised: (MCM_x: Starting).
In the following logic diagram, the measuring-circuit monitoring function is
displayed using function group MCM_1 as an example.

3.27 Circuit Breaker Failure Protection (Function Groups CBF_1

and CBF_2)
The P631 features circuit breaker failure (CBF) protection functions. After a trip
command has been issued the CBF function checks that the circuit breaker has
actually been opened.
The CBF function group is repeatedly available so that a dedicated function may
be applied to each end on the protected object.
The following specifications apply to assigning the CBF protection functions to
the physical measured current values and the internal logical signals.
3.27.1 Assigning Transformer Ends

The currents to be monitored by the respective CBF function may be selected
using setting parameters:
Address Description Range of values
022 156 CBF_1 : Sel e ct. me as. in put End a

022 157 CBF_2 : Sel e ct. me as. in put End b
3.27.2 Assigning Circuit Breakers

Each CBF_x function is permanently assigned to the respective circuit breakers
CBx. This concerns monitoring of the CB contact positions in conjunction with the
MAIN function of the protection unit. There are no specifications concerning the
assignment of circuit breakers to ends on the protected object.
3.27.3 Assigning the Trip Command

Which of the trip commands is to be used as a start criterion for the respective
CBF function may be selected by setting parameters:
Address Description Range of Values
022 202 CBF_1 : F ct .ass ign. startin g MA IN: Ge n. tr ip signal 1

022 216 CBF_2 : Fct.assi gn . s tarti ng MAIN: Gen . tr ip s ignal 2
MA IN: Gen . tr ip signal 3
MA IN: Ge n. tr ip signal 4
The functional range made available by the circuit breaker failure protection
function CBF_1 is documented in the following description. Function group CBF_2
provides the same functional range.
3.27.4 Enabling or Disabling the CBF Function

The activation of the function is enabled at C BF_1: Gen eral en able USER. If
this enabling function has been activated, CBF can be enabled or disabled via
setting parameters or through appropriately configured binary signal inputs. The
front panel HMI and the binary signal inputs have equal priority in this regard. If
only the function CBF_1 : En abl e EXT is assigned to a binary signal input, then
CBF will be enabled by a positive edge of the input signal and disabled by a
negative edge. If only the parameter CBF _1: Disable EXT has been assigned
to a binary signal input, then a signal at this input will have no effect.

3.27.6 Detecting a CB Tripping

A break in current flow is the preferred criterion to detect a successful CB
tripping. Protection functions that have triggering criteria not directly dependent
on current flow, may additionally be provided with status signals from CB
auxiliary contacts for evaluation.
3.27.7 Current flow monitoring

The current flow monitoring function is used to detect a break in current flow
safely, immediately and pole selectively. The CBF function continuously
compares sampled current values from the selected end with the set threshold
value CBF _1: I<. As long as current flow criteria are met the phase-selective
signals C BF_1: C urre nt f low A, CBF_1: Curre nt f low B, CBF_1: Curre nt
flow C and the multiple signal CBF_1 : C urr en t flow Phx will be continuously
issued.
In addition to this line-associated current flow monitoring function a residual
current monitoring function is available which can be enabled/disabled.
For the residual current monitoring the value derived from the three phase
currents is used.
As long as a residual current exceeding the comparator threshold is flowing, the
current flow criterion is not met and the corresponding signal (CBF_1 : C ur rent
flow N) is issued. When the residual current monitoring function is disabled, no
monitoring is carried out and the CBF_1: Curre nt f low N = No signal is issued
continuously.

3.27.8 Evaluation of CB Status Signals

Trip signals included in the general trip command which use status signals
provided by the CB auxiliary contacts in addition to current flow monitoring, can
be selected with the parameter CBF_1: Fct. assi gnm. CBAux. .
Applying CB status signals depends on the type of auxiliary contacts available.
The P631 can check the following CB status signals for plausibility and evaluate
them:
● The ‘Open’ signal from the circuit breaker, MA IN: CB1 open 3p E XT
● The ‘Closed’ signal from the circuit breaker, MAIN: CB1 closed 3p EXT
Note that each circuit breaker CBx is permanently assigned to the respective
CBF_x function. In the following description, CB1 is used as an example.
The evaluation of the CB status signals is blocked, if the configuration of the
respective binary signal inputs or the signal levels are not plausible. This will
result in the P631 issuing the signal CBF_1 : C B pos. implausible. Evaluation
of current criteria is not affected by this blocking.
If only one of the two possible CB status signals has been configured, then this
configured signal will always be considered plausible by the P631.

3.27.9 Startup Criteria

The startup of the circuit breaker failure protection function will occur when the
CB is recognized as closed during a start criterion. The following startup criteria
are evaluated:
● Internal startup criterion:
Generating the specific general trip signal, which has been selected by
setting parameter CBF_1 : F ct. assi gn. s tartin g, is considered a startup
criterion. In addition it may be selected, by setting the parameter
C BF_1 : S tart wi th man. tri p, that a manual trip signal will also be used
as a startup criterion.
● External startup criterion:
Triggering by a protection device operating in parallel (C BF_1: St art 3p
EX T) may be used as a startup criterion. A false CBF operation due to
spurious pick-up of this binary input signal is prevented as follows:
– If only one input signal is available as trigger, this input must be active as
long as the CBF timer is running. Otherwise CBF resets as soon as the
trigger input signal resets.
– Alternatively a two-pole trigger control may be implemented by applying
the additional signal CBF_1 : Start en able EXT.
Once started from internal trigger or external two-pole inputs, the CBF function
will only drop out when a successful opening has been detected from the current
flow monitoring or, in some cases, when the CB signals that its contacts are
open.

still present when the time delay, set at timer stage CBF_1: t1 3p, has
elapsed. The output command from this timer stage is intended for a
second CB trip coil.
● The signal C BF_1: Tri p si gnal t2 will be issued if the startup criterion is
still present when the time delay, set at timer stage CBF_1: t 2, has
elapsed. The output command from this timer stage is intended for a
backup circuit breaker or protection system.
These trip signals will be issued as long as the startup criteria are met.
Should a loss of gas pressure occur in the de-arcing chambers of installed type
SF6 circuit breakers then all surrounding circuit breakers must be immediately
tripped without waiting for a reaction from the damaged switch. In case of an
external CB_1 fault the elapsing of timer stage t2 may be interrupted by a signal
to the binary signal input appropriately configured at CBF_1: CB fault y EXT.
3.27.10 Trip Commands

While trip signals issued by the CB failure protection have no timer stages
available the user can set minimum time delays for trip commands.
By appropriate setting it can further be determined that trip commands, issued
by the CB failure protection, will operate in latching mode. The respective trip
command, set to latch mode, will remain active until reset by operating
parameters or through an appropriately configured binary signal input.

3.27.12 Fault Behind CB Protection

A fault behind a CB (downstream) is a fault that may occur between a circuit
breaker already open and a CT, which is fed from the remote end.
Fault behind CB protection recognizes such faults through the current criterion, if
the circuit breaker does not provide a signal from its auxiliary contacts that it is
closed after the time delay set at C BF_1: De l ay/fault beh. CB has elapsed.
When such a fault behind CB is recognized the signal C BF_1: Fault behind C B
is issued. In such a case the far end circuit breaker may be triggered by an
InterMiCOM teleprotection interface. This may also prevent an unwanted
triggering of the circuit breaker failure function.

3.29 Limit Value Monitoring (Function Groups LIM_1 and LIM_2)

Each of the limit value monitoring functions, LIM_1 and LIM_2, is designed for the
monitoring of the minimum and maximum phase currents for a user-selected
transformer end.
The limit value monitoring functions LIM_1 and LIM_2 can be enabled or disabled
using setting parameters.
3.29.1 Monitoring Minimum and Maximum Phase Currents

Two limit value monitoring functions (LIM_1 and LIM_2) are implemented and can
be assigned to both transformer ends.
For each limit value monitoring function, a setting parameter is provided for this
assignment by the user. The function will then monitor the minimum and
maximum phase currents for the selection. If a maximum phase current exceeds
the relevant set threshold or if a minimum phase current falls below the relevant
set threshold, a signal is issued once a set time has elapsed.
Function group LIM_1 will serve as an example to illustrate the operation of the
limit value monitoring functions in the following figures.

3.30 Transformer Monitoring (Function Group TRMON)

Big transformers are usually fitted with one or more Buchholz relays.
A Buchholz relay detects gases that arise due to normal ageing processes of the
transformer insulation. After a sufficient amount of gas has accumulated, the
alarm contact is activated. This measurement principle has the effect that the
alarm is also activated if the filling level of the insulating oil sinks below the
mounting place of the Buchholz relay due to a leakage. Since in such a case the
filling level sinks quite rapidly, it is common to have a separate detection
hardware for this, which then issues an insulation alarm.
Additionally, a Buchholz relay monitors the rate of oil flow. In case of an inner
short-circuit fault gas arises from the fault location, and the gas pushes some
part of the insulating oil into the equalizing tank. The Buchholz relay reacts to
this by closing its release contact.
The number of such relays mounted at the transformer is dependent on the size
and construction details (e. g. 3-phase or three single-phase transformers, with or
without tap changers, etc.)
The P631 features dedicated input signals for determining the alarm and triping
signals of up to 3 Buchholz- / insulation monitoring relays. The P631 records
these input signals, issues them via the communication interfaces or converts
them to user-defined signals and / or trip commands.
It is recommended with respect to a safe transformer protection that a Buchholz
trip always directly opens the circuit breaker. This means that routing the
Buchholz trip to the P631 is advisable only for reporting purposes, or for
triggering a second, independent tripping system.

P631 3 Operation
3.31 Programmable Logic (Function Groups LOGIC and LOG_2)

Programmable (or user-configurable) logic enables the user to link binary signals
within a framework of Boolean equations.
Two function groups for programmable logic are available, that can be used
independently of each other. There are only two differences between these two
function groups:
● LOGIC offers 32 logical equations.
LOG_2 offers only 4 logical equations.
● On the other hand, LOG_2 features long-term timers.
For example for output 1:
o LOGI C: Ti me t1 ou tpu t 1 and LOGIC: Time t2 output 1: settable
from 0 to 600 s.
o L OG_2: Ti me t 1 ou tput 1 and LOG_2 : Time t2 output 1: settable
from 0 to 60,000 s.
The following description concentrates on the function group LOGIC. Where

applicable, any differences to LOG_2 are mentioned.
Binary signals in the P631 may be linked by logical “OR” or “AND” operations
with the option of additional NOT operations by setting L OGIC: Fct.assignm.
outp. 1 (or LOGIC : F ct.as s ignm . outp. 2 to L OGIC : Fct.assignm. outp .
32, or LOG_2: Fct.assi gnm. ou tp. 1 to L O G_2 : F ct .assignm. outp. 4).
The Boolean equations need to be defined without the use of brackets. The
following rule applies to the operators: “NOT” before “AND” before “OR”.
A maximum of 32 elements can be processed in one Boolean equation. In
addition to the signals generated by the P631, initial conditions for governing the
equations can be set using setting parameters, through binary signal inputs, or
through the serial interfaces.
Logical operations of the function group LOGIC can be controlled through the
binary signal inputs in different ways.
The binary input signals LOGI C: Inpu t 01 EXT (or LOGIC: Input 0 2 EXT, …,
LOGIC : I np ut 4 0 EXT) have an updating function, whereas the input signals
LOGIC : Set 1 EXT (or LOGI C: Set 2 E XT, …, LOGIC: Set 8 EXT) are
latched. The logic can only be controlled from the binary signal inputs configured
for LOGIC : Se t 1 E XT if the corresponding reset input LOGIC: Reset 1 EX T)
has been configured for a binary signal input. If only one or neither of the two
functions is configured, then this is interpreted as “Logic externally set”. If the
input signals of the two binary signal inputs are implausible (such as when they
both have a logic value of “1”), then the last plausible state remains stored in
memory. (For LOG_2, there are no such parameters for assigning binary input
signals.)

The output signal of an equation can be fed into a further, higher order, equation
as an input signal thus creating a sequence of interlinked Boolean equations. The
equations are processed in the sequence defined by the order of each equation.
It should be noted that in the case of overlapping equations, the result is
provided by the equation with the highest order.
The output signal of each equation is fed to a separate timer stage with two
timer elements and a choice of operating modes. This offers the possibility of
assigning a freely configurable time characteristic to the output signal of each
Boolean equation. In the Minimum time operating mode, the setting of timer
stage t2 has no effect. The following diagrams (Fig. 3-144, (p. 3-176) to
Fig. 3-148, (p. 3-178)) show the time characteristics for the various timer stage
operating modes.
If the P631 is switched to offline the equations are not processed and all outputs
are set to the “0” logic level.

Through appropriate configuration, it is possible to assign the function of a binary

input signal to each output of a logic operation. The output of the logic operation
then has the same effect as if the binary signal input to which this function has
been assigned were triggered.

P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 3-179

P631 3 Operation
3.32 Binary Counts (Function Group COUNT)

The P631 features four binary counters. Each of these can count the positive
pulse edges of a binary signal present at an appropriately configured binary
signal input. Such a binary signal can be provided with debouncing.
3.32.1 Enable/Disable the Counting Function

The counting function (COUNT) can be disabled or enabled via setting
parameters.
3.32.2 Debouncing
Count
Signal sequence
50ms
19Z50APA
Fig. 3-150: Debouncing signal flow. Set debouncing time: 50 ms.
The first positive pulse edge of the binary input signal to be counted will trigger a
timer stage which will continue to run for the set debouncing time period. Each
positive pulse edge during the debouncing time re-triggers the timer stage. The
binary input signal will be counted if it is stable during the set debouncing time
period.
The debouncing time can be set separately for each of the four counters.
After the set debouncing time has elapsed, the state of the signal is checked. If it
is the same as prior to the occurrence of the first pulse edge, it will not be
counted.
3.32.3 Counting Function

The debounced binary signal is counted by a 16 bit counter. The counters may
be set to a specific count value (preload function) by setting a parameter or via
the serial interfaces. The values of the counters can be shown on the LC-display
and read out via the PC interface or the communications interface.
For each of the four counters, there is a limit value that can be optionally set:
● C OU NT: L imit counter 1 (and the same way for counters 2 to 4),
● settable from 1 to 65000,
● setting “Blocked” disables the limit check. (This setting is the default
value.)
A warning signal (C OUNT: Warn in g cou nt 1 and the same way for counters 2
to 4) is issued if the associated counter value exceeds the set limit.
3.32.4 Transmitting the Counter Values via Communications Interface

The counter values are transmitted via the communications interface when a
signal is presented to an appropriately configured binary signal input, a trigger
signal is issued by a setting parameter or at cyclic intervals as set at the cycle
time stage C OUN T: Cycle t. count tran s m. When the counter value is
transmitted at cyclic intervals, then transmission is time synchronized if the ratio
3-180 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

4 Design
The P631 is available in a 40 TE case with different combinations of modules, see
Section 5.7, (p. 5-22).
A P631 is equipped with a detachable HMI or a fixed local control panel. The local
control panel is covered with a tough film so that the specified degree of IP
protection will be maintained. In addition to the essential control and display
elements, a parallel display consisting of multi-colored LED indicators is also
incorporated (see Section 6.2, (p. 6-2)). The meaning of the various LED
indications is shown in plain text on a label strip.
The PC interface (9-pin D-Sub female connector) is located under the hinged
cover at the bottom of the local control panel.

P631 4 Design
4.1 Designs
The P631 is available in a surface-mounted and a flush-mounted case. Depending
on the connection type – pin-terminal or ring-terminal connection – the case sizes
differ. The location diagrams (Section 5.7, (p. 5-22)) show the available
combinations of case widths and connection types.
Electrical connections are made via plug-in threaded terminal blocks. The
threaded terminal blocks in the surface-mounted case are accessible from the
front of the device after unscrewing the torx head steal screws on the sides (see
Fig. 4-1, (p. 4-3), ➀) and removing the local control panel. The local control
panel can then be secured by inserting the tabs in the slots in the left side wall
(see Fig. 4-1, (p. 4-3), ➁). The flush-mounted case is connected at the back of
the case.
WARNING
The local control panel is connected to processor module P by a plug-in
connecting cable. Do not bend the connecting cable! Secure the local control
panel by inserting it in the slots provided on the left.
WARNING
The secondary circuit of live system current transformers must not be
opened! If the secondary circuit of a live CT is opened, there is the danger
that the resulting voltages will endanger personnel and damage the
insulation.
WARNING
For pin-terminal connection devices, the terminal block for system current
transformer connection is not a shorting block! Therefore always short-circuit
the system current transformers before loosening the threaded terminals.

5 Installation and Connection
WARNING
Sustained exposure to high humidity during storage may cause damage to
electronics and reduce the lifetime of the equipment.
We recommend that storage humidity shall not exceed 50% relative
humidity.
Once the device has been unpacked, we recommend that it is energized
within the three following months.
Where electrical equipment is being installed, sufficient time should be
allowed for acclimatization to the ambient temperature of the environment,
before energization.
WARNING
Only qualified personnel, familiar with the “Warning” page at the beginning of
this manual, may work on or operate this device.
WARNING
The instructions given in the Section 5.5, (p. 5-12) (“Protective and
Operational Grounding”) should be noted. In particular, check that the
protective ground connection is secured with a tooth lock washer, as per the
diagram “Installing the protective grounding conductor terminal” (Fig. 5-8,
(p. 5-12)).
If a cable screen is added to this connection or removed from it, then the
protective grounding should be checked again.
WARNING
The SC connector and RJ45 wire of the Ethernet module cannot be connected
at the same time.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 5-1

P631 5 Installation and Connection
WARNING
Installation of the detachable HMI: A protective conductor (protective
earth) with a cross section at least 1.5 mm² (US: AWG14 or thicker) must be
connected to the protective grounding conductor terminal on the detachable
HMI at one end and on the other end to the protective grounding conductor
terminal on the device’s case. Both the detachable HMI and the device have
to be installed in the same substation.
In order to prevent personal injuries the communications cable installed to
the detachable HMI must never come in contact with parts that may be
subjected to dangerous live voltages.
It is prohibited to install or run the communications cable to the detachable
HMI next to high-voltage lines or high-voltage connections. This is to prevent
induced currents that would lead to electromagnetic interferences.
We recommend to use only cables of category CAT6 (or better), which we
tested up to a length of 10 m.

5 Installation and Connection P631
5.1 Unpacking and Packing

All P631 devices are packaged separately into dedicated cartons and shipped
with outer packaging. Use special care when opening cartons and unpacking
devices, and do not use force. In addition, make sure to remove supporting
documents and the type identification label supplied with each individual device
from the inside carton. The design revision level of each module included in the
device when shipped can be determined from the list of components (assembly
list). This list of components should be filed carefully.
After unpacking, each device should be inspected visually to confirm it is in
proper mechanical condition.
If the P631 needs to be shipped, both inner and outer packaging must be used. If
the original packaging is no longer available, make sure that packaging conforms
to DIN ISO 2248 specifications for a drop height ≤ 0.8 m.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 5-3

5.2 Checking Nominal Data and Design Type

The nominal data and design type of the P631 can be determined by checking
the type identification label (see below). One type identification label is located
under the upper hinged cover on the front panel and a second label can be found
on the inside of the device. Another copy of the type identification label is fixed
to the outside of the P631 packaging.
Fig. 5-1: Example of the type identification label of a device from the Easergy MiCOM 30 family.
The P631 design version can be determined from the order number. A
breakdown of the order number is given in Chapter “Order Information”
(Chapter 15, (p. 15-1)).
5-4 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

5.3 Location Requirements

The P631 has been designed to conform to EN 60255-6. Therefore it is important
when choosing the installation location to make certain that it provides the
operating conditions as specified in above DIN norm sections 3.2 to 3.4. Several
of these important operating conditions are listed below.
5.3.1 Environmental Conditions
Ambient temperature: -5 °C to +55 °C [+23 °F to +131 °F]

Air pressure: 800 to 1100 hPa
Relative humidity: The relative humidity must not result in the formation of
either condensed water or ice in the P631.
Ambient air: The ambient air must not be significantly polluted by dust,
smoke, gases or vapors, or salt.
Solar Radiation: Direct solar radiation on the front of the device must be
avoided to ensure that the LC-Display remains readable.
5.3.2 Mechanical Conditions
Vibration stress: 10 to 60 Hz, 0.035 mm and 60 to 150 Hz, 0.5 g

Earth quake resistance: 5 ... 8 Hz, 3.5 mm / 1.5 mm, 8 ... 35 Hz, 5 m/s²,
3 x 1 cycle
5.3.3 Electrical Conditions for Auxiliary Voltage of the Power Supply
Operating range: 0.8 to 1.1 VA,nom with a residual ripple of up to 12 % VA,nom
5.3.4 Electromagnetic Conditions

Substation secondary system design must follow the best of modern practices,
especially with respect to grounding and EMC.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 5-5

5.4 Installation
The dimensions and mounting dimensions for surface-mounted cases are given
in Section 4.2, (p. 4-4). When the P631 is surface-mounted on a panel, the wiring
to the P631 is normally run along the front side of the mounting plane. If the
wiring is to be at the back, an opening can be provided above or below the
surface-mounted case. Fig. 5-2, (p. 5-6) shows such an opening.
D5Z50MBA
Fig. 5-2: Opening (cutout) for running the connecting leads to an 40 TE surface-mounted case.
The opening width for the 40 TE surface-mounted case: 213 mm (shown in this
figure), for the 84 TE surface-mounted case: 435 mm. The other dimensions are
the same for all cases.
Flush-mounted cases are designed for control panels. The dimensions and
mounting dimensions are given in Chapter “Design”. When the P631 is mounted
on a cabinet door, special sealing measures are necessary to provide the degree
of protection required for the cabinet (IP 51).
Connection of protective grounding conductor: See “Protective and Operational
Grounding” (Section 5.5, (p. 5-12))
Instructions for selecting the flush-mount method:

The P631 has increased mechanical robustness if either the surface-mounted case
or – for the flush-mounted case – flush-mount method 2 (with angle brackets and
frame) is used. In this case, test severity class 2 of the vibration test, test severity
class of the shock resistance test on operability as well as test severity class 1 of
the shock resistance test on permanent shock are applied additionally.
Dimensions of the panel cutouts:

Dimensional drawings of the panel cutouts for all cases and for the detachable HMI
can be found in Section 4.2, (p. 4-4).
5-6 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

For flush-mount method 1 (without angle brackets and frame), the procedure is
as follows:
Before the P631 can be installed into a control panel, the local control panel (or
the front element of the case for devices with detachable display) must be taken
down. The local control panel is removed as described below:
1. Remove both top and bottom hinged flaps from the device. (Lift/lower
both hinged flaps 180° up/down. Hold them in the middle and bend them
slightly. The side mountings of both hinged flaps can then be disengaged.)
2. Remove the M3.5 screws (see Fig. 5-3, (p. 5-8)).
3. Then remove the local control panel.
WARNING
The local control panel (or front element) is connected to processor module P
by a plug-in connecting cable. Make sure the connector position is correct. Do
not bend the connecting cable!
Then remove the lower M4 screws and only loosen the upper M4 screws (see
Fig. 5-3, (p. 5-8)). Now insert the P631 into the panel opening from the rear so
that the upper M4 screws fit into the corresponding holes. Then tighten all the
M4 screws. After this, replace the local control panel.
WARNING
When replacing the local control panel, take care not to tighten the M3.5
screws with too much strength! (Fastening torque 1.5 to 1.8 Newton meters.)
If the control panel thickness is ≥ 2 mm, the longer M3.5 and M4 bolts must be
used. Longer screws are enclosed within the device packing.

5.5 Protective and Operational Grounding

The device must be reliably grounded to meet protective equipment grounding
requirements. The surface-mounted case is grounded using the bolt and nut,
appropriately marked, as the ground connection. The flush-mounted case must
be grounded in the area of the rear sidepieces at the location provided.
The bracket is marked with the protective ground symbol:
The cross-section of the ground conductor must conform to applicable national
standards. A minimum cross section of 2.5 mm² (≤ AWG12) is required.
In addition, a protective ground connection at the terminal contact on the power
supply module (identified by the letters “PE” on the terminal connection
diagram) is also required for proper operation of the device. The cross-section of
this ground conductor must also conform to applicable national standards. A
minimum cross section of 1.5 mm² (US: AWG14 or thicker) is required.
If a detachable HMI is installed, a further protective conductor (ground/earth) of
at least 1.5 mm² (US: AWG14 or thicker) must be connected to the DHMI
protective conductor terminal to link the DHMI and the main relay case; these
must be located within the same substation.
All grounding connections must be low-inductance, i.e. it must be kept as short
as possible.

5.6 Connection
The P631 Transformer Differential Protection Device must be connected in
accordance with the terminal connection diagram as indicated on the type
identification label. The relevant terminal connection diagrams that apply to the
P631 are to be found either in the supporting documents supplied with the
device, or in Section 5.7, (p. 5-22).
In general copper conductors with a cross section of 2.5 mm² (US: AWG12) are
sufficient to connect a system current transformer to a current input on the P631.
To reduce CT knee-point voltage requirements, it may be necessary to install
shorter copper conductors with a greater cross section between the system
current transformers and the current inputs on the P631. Copper conductors
having a cross section of 1.5 mm² (US: AWG14) are adequate to connect binary
signal inputs, the output relays and the power supply input.
All connections run into the system must always have a defined potential.
Connections that are pre-wired but not used should preferably be grounded when
binary inputs and output relays are isolated. When binary inputs and output
relays are connected to common potential, the pre-wired but unused connections
should be connected to the common potential of the grouped connections.
5.6.1 Connecting Measuring and Auxiliary Circuits
5.6.1.1 Power Supply

Before connecting the auxiliary voltage VA for the P631 power supply, it must be
ensured that the nominal value of the auxiliary device voltage corresponds with
the nominal value of the auxiliary system voltage.
5.6.1.2 Current-Measuring Inputs

When connecting the system transformers, it must be ensured that the
secondary nominal currents of the system and the device correspond.
WARNING
insulation.
WARNING
For pin-terminal connection devices, the terminal block for system current
transformer connection is not a shorting block! Therefore always short-circuit
the system current transformers before loosening the threaded terminals.
5.6.1.3 Connecting the Measuring Circuits

The system current transformers must be connected in accordance with the
standard schematic diagram shown in Fig. 5-9, (p. 5-14). It is essential that the
grounding configuration shown in the diagram be followed. If the CT or VT
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 5-13

connection is reversed, this can be taken into account when making settings (see
Chapter 7, (p. 7-1)).

5.6.1.4 Connecting a Resistance Thermometer

A resistance thermometer can be connected if the device is fitted with analog
module Y. This analog I/O module input is designed to connect a PT 100
resistance thermometer. The PT 100 should be connected using the 3-wire
method (see Fig. 5-10, (p. 5-15)). No supply conductor compensation is
required in this case.

Fig. 5-10: Connecting a PT 100 using the 3-wire method.
5.6.1.5 Connecting Binary Inputs and Output Relays

The binary inputs and output relays are freely configurable. When configuring
these components it is important to note that the contact rating of the binary I/O
modules (X) varies (see Section 2.5.7, (p. 2-13)).
The polarity for connected binary signal inputs is to be found in the terminal
connection diagrams (see supporting documents supplied with the device or in
Section 5.7, (p. 5-22)). This is to be understood as a recommendation only.
Connection to binary inputs can be made as desired.
5.6.1.6 Connecting Trip and Close Command Relays

Standard outputs of Px30 aren't supposed to open DC current flowing through
inductive CB coil. This task has to be addressed by properly applied CB auxiliary
contacts (52a/b).

Kxx CB
MICOM P30 52a
49Z9005A
Fig. 5-11: Example of trip circuit wiring.
In order to ascertain that the inductive coil current is switched off from the CB
auxiliary contacts, the setting of minimum pulse duration for trip commands
(MA IN : M in .dur. t rip cm d. 1 etc.) and close command need to consider the
operating times of the circuit breaker and its auxiliary contacts. Sufficient margin
has to be applied for pulse duration. A common setting is to double operating
time of the circuit breaker, e.g. for a CB trip operation time top of 100 ms, the
minimum trip pulse time should be 0.2 s (see the following figure).
CB Closed (52a)
top
CB's operating time
tmop= 2*top
MAIN:
Min.dur. trip cmd. 1
49Z9006A
Fig. 5-12: Example of trip pulse timing.
This of course also applies to device open/close command outputs operated with
fix (short or long) command duration (e.g. DEVxx Oper. mode cmd. = Short
command).
If the Px30 output contact triggers an auxiliary relay which opens or closes the
CB consecutively, then it should be verified, that the make/continuous/break coil
currents of this auxiliary relay are within the limit values given in Section 2.5.7,
(p. 2-13).
Note: Upon testing such command outputs, the CB (or equivalent auxiliary
components) must not be mechanically locked, so that the auxiliary 52a/b
contact could operate and break the DC current. If the CB has to stay locked,
tripping or closing circuit has to be opened by terminal disconnection or test
switch.
5-16 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

5.6.2 Connecting the IRIG‑B Interface

An IRIG‑B interface for time synchronization may be installed as an optional
feature. It is connected by a BNC connector. A coaxial cable having a
characteristic impedance of 50 Ω must be used as the connecting cable.
5.6.3 Connecting the Serial Interfaces
5.6.3.1 PC Interface
The PC interface is provided so that personnel can operate the device from a
personal computer (PC).
WARNING
The PC interface is not designed as a permanent connection. Consequently,
the female connector does not have the extra insulation from circuits
connected to the system that is required per VDE 0106, part 101.
5.6.3.2 Communication Interfaces

The communication interfaces are provided as a permanent connection of the
device to a control system for substations or to a central substation unit.
Depending on the type, communication interface 1 on the device is connected
either by a special fiber-optic connector or an RS 485 interface with twisted pair
copper wires. Communication interface 2 is only available as an RS 485 interface.
The selection and assembly of a properly cut fiber-optic connecting cable
requires special knowledge and expertise and is therefore not covered in this
operating manual.
WARNING
The fiber-optic interface may only be connected or disconnected when the
supply voltage for the device is shut off.
An RS 485 data transmission link between a master and several slave devices
can be established by using the optional communication interface. The
communication master could be, for instance, a central control station. Devices
linked to the communication master, e.g. P631, are set-up as slave devices.
The RS 485 interface available on the P631 was designed so that data transfer in
a full duplex transmission mode is possible using a 4-wire data link between
devices. Data transfer between devices using the RS 485 interface is set up only
for a half duplex transmission mode. To connect the RS 485 communication
interface the following must be observed:
● Only twisted pair shielded cables must be used, that are common in
telecommunication installations.
● At least one symmetrical twisted pair of wires is necessary.
● Conductor insulation and shielding must only be removed from the core in
the immediate vicinity of the terminal strips and connected according to
national standards.
● All shielding must be connected to an effective protective ground surface at
both ends.
● Unused conductors must all be grounded at one end.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 5-17

A 4‑wire data link as an alternative to a 2-wire communications link is also

possible. A cable with two symmetrical twisted pair wires is required for a 4-wire
data link. A 2-wire data link is shown in Fig. 5-13, (p. 5-19), and a 4-wire data
link is shown in Fig. 5-14, (p. 5-20) as an example for channel 2 on the
communication module. The same is valid if channel 1 on the communication
module is available as a RS 485 interface.
2-wire data link:
The transmitter must be bridged with the receiver on all devices equipped
electrically with a full duplex communication interface, e.g. the P631. The two
devices situated at either far end must have a 200 to 220 Ω resistor installed to
terminate the data transmission conductor. In devices from the Easergy MiCOM
30 family, and also in the P631, a 220 Ω resistor is integrated into the RS 485
interface hardware and can be connected with a wire jumper. An external
resistor is therefore not necessary.
4-wire data link:
Transmitter and receiver must be bridged in the device situated on one far end
of the data transmission conductor. The receivers of slave devices, that have an
electrically full-duplex communication interface as part of their electrical system,
e.g. the P631, are connected to the transmitter of the communication master
device, and the transmitters of slave devices are connected to the receiver of the
master device. Devices equipped electrically with only a half duplex RS 485
communication interface are connected to the transmitter of the communication
master device. The last device in line (master or slave device) on the data
transmission conductor must have the transmitter and receiver terminated with
a 200 to 220 Ω resistor each. In devices from the Easergy MiCOM 30 family, and
also in the P631, a 220 Ω resistor is integrated into the RS 485 interface
hardware and can be connected with a wire jumper. An external resistor is
therefore not necessary. The second resistor must be connected externally to the
device (resistor order number see Chapter “Accessories and Spare Parts”).

6.1 Local Control Panel (HMI)

Switchgear installed in the bay can be controlled from the local control panel
(HMI). All the data required for operation of the protection device is entered from
the local control panel, and the data important for system management is read
out there as well. The following tasks can be handled from the local control
panel:
● Controlling switchgear units
● Readout and modification of settings
● Readout of cyclically updated measured operating data and logic status
signals
● Readout of operating data logs and of monitoring signal logs
● Readout of event logs after overload situations, ground faults, or short
circuits in the power system
● Device resetting and triggering of additional control functions used in
testing and commissioning
Control is also possible through the PC interface. This requires a suitable PC and
a specific operating program.

List data points are a special category. In contrast to other data points, list data
points generally have more than one associated value element. This category
includes tripping matrices, programmable logic functions, and event logs. When
a list data point is selected, the symbol ‘↓‘ is displayed in the bottom line of the
LCD, indicating that a sub-level is situated below this displayed level. The
individual value elements of a list data point are found at this sub-level. In the
case of a list parameter, the individual value elements are linked by operators
such as “OR”.

6.7 Note Concerning the Step-by-Step Descriptions

The following presentation of the individual control steps shows which displays
can be changed in each case by pressing keys. A small black square to the right
of the enter key indicates that the LED indicator labeled Edit Mode is illuminated.
The examples used here are not necessarily valid for the device type described
in this manual; they merely serve to illustrate the control principles involved.

6.8 Configurable Function Keys
6.8.1 Configuration of the Function Keys F1 to Fx

Function keys [F1] to [Fx] can be assigned a password (see Section 6.11.9, (p. 6-
30)). In such a case they are effective only after that password has been
entered. By default, no password is required to use the function key.
It is assumed for the following operating example that function key [F1] is
enabled only after the password (as assigned at F_KEY: Password funct.k e y
1) has been entered. After the password has been entered the function key will
remain active for the duration set at F_KEY: Re turn time fct.keys.
Thereafter, the function key is disabled until the password is entered again.

P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 6-13

6.10 Control at Panel Level

The measured values that will be displayed on the Measured Value Panels can
first be selected in the menu tree under Par/Conf/LOC. The user can select
different sets of measured values for the Operation Panel (LOC : F ct .
Operati on Pan el), the Overload Panel (L OC: Fct. Overload Panel), and the
Fault Panel (LOC : Fct . F au lt Pan el).
Only the Measured Value Panels relevant for the particular design version of the
given device and its associated range of functions are actually available. The
selected set of values for the Operation Panel is always available. Please see
Section 6.11.5.1, (p. 6-21) for instructions regarding selection. If
“MAIN : Wit hou t functi on” has been selected for a given panel, then that
panel is disabled.
The Measured Value Panels are called up according to system conditions. If, for
example, the device detects an overload or a ground fault, then the
corresponding Measured Value Panel will be displayed as long as the overload or
ground fault situation exists. Should the device detect a fault, then the Fault
Panel is displayed and remains active until the measured fault values are reset,
by pressing the CLEAR key, for example.

6.11 Control at the Menu Tree Level
6.11.1 Navigation in the Menu Tree
Folders and Function Groups

All data points are organized in different folders based on practical control
requirements.
At the root of the menu tree is the unit type; the tree branches into the three
main folders “Settings”, “Measurements & Tests” and “Fault & Event Records”,
which form the first folder level. Up to two further folder levels follow so that the
entire folder structure consists of three main branches and a maximum of three
folder levels.
At the end of each branch of folders are the various function groups in which the
individual data points (settings) are combined.

6.11.2 Switching Between Address Mode and Plain Text Mode

The display on the local control panel can be switched between address mode
and plain text mode. In the address mode the display shows settings, signals,
and measured values in numerically coded form, that is, as addresses. In plain
text mode the settings, signals, and measured values are displayed in the form
of plain text descriptions. In either case, control is guided by the menu tree. The
active branch of the menu tree is displayed in plain text in both modes. In the
following examples, the display is shown in plain text mode only.

6.11.3 Change-Enabling Function

Although it is possible to select any data point in the menu tree and read the
associated value by pressing the keys, it is not possible to switch directly to the
input mode. This safeguard prevents unintended changes in the settings.
There are two ways to enter the input mode.
● Global change-enabling function: To activate the global change-
enabling function, set the LOC: P aram. cha nge enabl. parameter to
Yes (menu tree: Oper/CtrlTest/LOC).
The change can only be made after the password has been entered.
Thereafter, all further changes – with the exception of specially protected
control actions (see Section 6.11.8, (p. 6-28)) – are enabled without
entering the password.
● Selective change-enabling function: Password input prior to any setting
change.
This setup is designed to prevent accidental output and applies even when
the global change-enabling function has been activated. The following
example is based on the factory-set password. If the password has been
changed by the user (see Section 6.11.9, (p. 6-30)), the following
description will apply accordingly.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 6-17

can now be changed by pressing the “up” or “down”
keys.
If an invalid password has been entered, the display
shown in Step 1 appears.
Step 3 Change the setting to Yes. Oper/CtrlTest/LOC

Yes
Step 4 Press the enter key again. The LED indicator will go out. Oper/CtrlTest/LOC
The unit is enabled for further setting changes. Yes
The same procedure applies to any setting change unless the global change-
enabling function has been activated. This method is recommended for a single
setting change only. If several settings are to be changed, then the global
change-enabling function is preferable. In the following examples, the global
change-enabling function has been activated.
6.11.3.1 Automatic Return

The automatic return function prevents the change-enabling function from
remaining activated after a change of settings has been completed. Once the set
return time (L O C: Aut om. re tur n time, menu tree “Par/Conf/LOC”) has
elapsed, the change-enabling function is automatically deactivated, and the
6-18 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

display switches to a Measured Value Panel corresponding to the current system

condition. The return time is restarted when any of the control keys is pressed.
6.11.3.2 Forced Return

The return described above can be forced from the local control panel by first
pressing the “up” key and then holding it down while pressing the CLEAR key.
It is important to press the “up” key first and release it last in order to avoid
unintentional deletion of stored data.
Even when the change-enabling function is activated, not all settings can be
changed. For some settings it is also necessary to disable the protective function
(MAIN: Devi ce on-l ine, menu tree: Par/Func/Glob/MAIN). Such settings include
the configuration settings, by means of which the device interfaces can be
adapted to the system. The following entries in the “Change” column of the
“Telegram Documentation” (part of the separately available
“DataModelExplorer”) indicate whether values can be changed or not:
● “on”: The value can be changed even when the protective function is
enabled.
● “off”: The value can only be changed when the protective function is
disabled.
● “–”: The value can be read out but cannot be changed.
The device is factory-set so that the protective function is disabled.

6.11.5 List Parameters
6.11.5.1 Setting a List Parameter

Using list settings, the user is able to select several elements from a list in order
to perform tasks such as defining a trip command or defining the measurements
that will be displayed on Measured Value Panels. As a rule, the selected elements
are linked by an “OR” operator. Other operators (NOT, OR, AND, NOT OR and
NOT AND) are available in the LOGIC function group for linking the selected list
items. In this way binary signals and binary input signals can be processed in a
Boolean equation tailored to meet user requirements. For the DNP 3.0
communication protocol, the user defines the class of a setting instead of
assigning operators. The definition of a trip command shall be used here as an
illustration.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 6-21

6.11.6 Memory Readout

Memories can be read out after going to the corresponding entry point. This does
not necessitate activating the change-enabling function or even disabling the
protective functions. Inadvertent clearing of a memory at the entry point is not
possible.
The following memories are available:
● In the menu tree “Oper/Rec/OP_RC”: Operating data memory
● In the menu tree “Oper/Rec/MT_RC”: Monitoring signal memory
● Event memories
o In the menu tree “Events/Rec/FT_RC”: Fault memories 1 to 8
o In the menu tree “Events/Rec/OL_RC”: Overload memories 1 to 8
Not all of these event memories are present in each unit.
6.11.6.1 Readout of the Operating Data Memory

6.11.7 Resetting
All information memories – including the event memories and the monitoring
signal memory – as well as the LED indicators can be reset manually. In addition,
the LED indicators are automatically cleared and initialized at the onset of a new
fault – provided that the appropriate operating mode has been selected – so that
they always indicate the latest fault.
The LED indicators can also be reset manually by pressing the CLEAR key, which
is always possible in the standard control mode. This action also triggers an LED
indicator test and an LCD display test. The event memories are not affected by
this action, so that inadvertent deletion of the records associated with the reset
signal pattern is reliably prevented.
Because of the ring structure of the event memories, the data for eight
consecutive events are updated automatically so that manual resetting should
not be necessary, in principle.
Deleting the event memories completely (e.g. after a function test), can be
accomplished by various resetting actions including the configuration of a group
resetting for several memories. An overview of all resetting actions can be found
in section “Resetting Actions” in Chapter “Operation”.
Resetting a single memory from the local control panel is described in the
following with the example of a fault memory. In this example the global change-
enabling function has already been activated.

Action
Step 0 Select the reset setting. Line 3 of the display shows the Oper/CtrlTest/FT_RC

6.11.8 Password-Protected Control Actions

Certain actions from the local control panel such as a manual trip command for
testing purposes can only be carried out by entering a password so as to prevent
unwanted output even though the global change-enabling function has been
activated (see section “Change-Enabling Function”).
This setup is designed to prevent accidental output and applies even when the
global change-enabling function has been activated. The password consists of a
pre-defined sequential key combination entered within a specific time interval. If
the password has been changed by the user (see section “Changing the
Password”), the following description will apply accordingly.

7.1 Parameters
The P631 must be adjusted to the system and to the protected equipment by
appropriate settings. This chapter gives instructions for determining the settings,
which are located in the folder titled “Parameters” in the menu tree. The
sequence in which the settings are listed and described in this chapter
corresponds to their sequence in the menu tree.
The P631 devices are supplied with a factory-set standard configuration of
settings that, in most cases, correspond to the default settings or become
apparent after a “cold restart”. The P631 is blocked in that case. All settings
must be re-entered after a cold restart.
Note
Detailed information about all parameters, including complete selection tables and
IEC 60870‑5‑103 protocol properties, are separately available as a set of interlinked
PDF files for user-friendly navigation, packed in one ZIP archive named
DataModelExplorer_P631_en_P01.zip.
In contrast to P631 versions before P631‑630, the implementation of the IEC 61850
protocol now features parameters that cannot be modified from the local control
panel (HMI) or with the operating program. Instead, these parameters are set with
a special IEC 61850 operating software, named “IED Configurator”.
Therefore these settings are not listed in this chapter or the following chapter.
These parameters are described in Chapter “IEC 61850 Settings via IED
Configurator”.
Cancelling a Protection Function

The user can adapt the device to the requirements of a particular high-voltage
system by including the relevant protection functions in the device configuration
and cancelling all others (removing them from the device configuration).
The following conditions must be met before cancelling a protection function:
● The protection function in question must be disabled.
● None of the functions of the protection function to be cancelled may be
assigned to a binary input.
● None of the signals of the protection function may be assigned to a binary
output or an LED indicator.
● No functions of the device function being cancelled can be selected in a list
setting.
● None of the signals of the protection function may be linked to other signals
by way of an “m out of n” parameter.
The protection function to which a parameter, a signal, or a measured value
belongs is defined by the function group designation (example: “LIMIT:”).
General Notes on the Configuration of Function Group “Binary Input” (INP)

The P631 has optical coupler inputs for processing binary signals from the
system. The number and connection schemes for the available binary inputs are
shown in the terminal connection diagrams. The “DataModelExplorer” (available
as a separate ZIP archive file) gives information about the configuration options
for all binary inputs.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 7-1

P631 7 Settings
The P631 identifies the installed modules during startup. If a given binary I/O
module is not installed or has fewer binary signal inputs than the maximum
number possible at this slot, then the configuration addresses for the missing
binary signal inputs are automatically hidden in the menu tree.
When configuring binary inputs, one should keep in mind that the same function
can be assigned to several signal inputs. Thus one function can be activated from
several control points having different signal voltages.
In order to ensure that the device will recognize the input signals, the triggering
signals must persist for at least 30 ms. The operating mode for each binary
signal input can be defined.
The user can specify whether the presence (active ‘high’ mode) or absence
(active ‘low’ mode) of a voltage shall be interpreted as the logic “1” signal.
General Notes on the Configuration of Function Group “Binary Output” (OUTP)

The P631 has output relays for the output of binary signals. The number and
connection schemes for the available binary output relays are shown in the
terminal connection diagrams. The “DataModelExplorer” (available as a separate
ZIP archive file) gives information about the configuration options for all binary
outputs.
The P631 identifies the installed modules during startup. If a given binary I/O
module is not installed or has fewer output relays than the maximum number
possible at this slot, then the configuration addresses for the missing output
relays are automatically hidden in the menu tree.
The contact data for the all-or-nothing relays permits them to be used either as
command relays or as signal relays. It is important to note that the contact rating
of the binary I/O modules (X) varies (see Chapter “Technical Data”). One signal
can also be assigned simultaneously to several output relays for the purpose of
contact multiplication.
An operating mode can be defined for each output relay. Depending on the
selected operating mode, the output relay will operate in either an energize-on-
signal (ES) mode or a normally-energized (NE) mode and in either a latching or
non-latching mode. For output relays operating in latching mode, the operating
mode setting also determines when latching will be cancelled.
General Notes on the Configuration of the LED Indicators

The P631 has LED indicators for parallel display of binary signals. LED indicator
H 1 is not configurable. It is labeled “HEALTHY” and signals the operational
readiness of the protection unit (supply voltage present). LED indicators H 2 and
H 3 are not configurable either. H 2 is labeled “OUT OF SERVICE” and signals a
blocking or malfunction; H 3 is labeled “ALARM” and signals a warning alarm.
LED indicator H 17 indicates that the user is in the “EDIT MODE”. Section
“Configuration and Operating Mode of the LED Indicators (Function Group LED)”
in Chapter “Operation” describes the layout of the LED indicators and the factory
setting for LED indicator H 4.
An operating mode can be defined for each LED indicator. Depending on the set
operating mode, the LED indicator will operate in either energize-on-signal (ES)
mode (“open-circuit principle”) or normally-energized (NE) mode (“closed-circuit
principle”) and in either latching or non-latching mode. For LED indicators
operating in latching mode, the operating mode setting also determines when
latching will be cancelled.
With the multi-color LED indicators (H 4 – H 16 and H 18 - H 23) the colors red
and green can be independently assigned with functions. The third color amber
results as a mixture of red and green, i.e. when both functions assigned to the
LED indicator are simultaneously present.

For standard connection of the P631 (see Chapter “Installation and
Connection”), the vector group ID needs to be entered. For connection reversal
applied to one individual end, this can be taken into account in setting
(MAIN: Conn.meas.cir c. I P, a or MAIN: Conn.me as.circ. IP,b).
The following algorithms apply:
Setting = ID + 6
If the addition results in a value > 12 then:
Setting = (ID + 6) – 12
If the phase currents of the low and high voltage sides are exchanged and if this
is not accounted for by the settings at MAIN: Conn.me as ,circ. IP,z
(where z is end a,b,c or d) and MAIN: C onn.meas,cir c. IY ,z (where z is
end a,b or c) then the algorithm is:
Setting = 12 – ID
If an A-C-B phase sequence (or "anti-clockwise rotating field") is present then
this should be entered as a setting at the P631. In this case, the P631 will
automatically form the complementary value of the set vector group ID to the
number 12 (vector group ID = 12 – set ID).
For application of the P631 as machine protection, the setting must be 0 or 6
depending on the current transformer connection.

8 Information and Control Functions
8.1 Operation
The P631 generates a large number of signals, processes binary input signals,
and acquires measured data during fault-free operation of the protected object
as well as fault-related data. A number of counters are available for statistical
purposes. This information can be read out from the integrated local control
panel or via the operating program.
All this information can be found in the “Operation” and “Events” folders in the
menu tree.
Note
Detailed information about all parameters, including complete selection tables and
IEC 60870‑5‑103 protocol properties, are separately available as a set of interlinked
PDF files for user-friendly navigation, packed in one ZIP archive named
DataModelExplorer_P631_en_P01.zip.
A list of the Logical Nodes that have been implemented for the IEC 61850 protocol
can be found in a separate document.

9 IEC 61850 Settings via IED Configurator

This chapter lists all IEC 61850-specific settings, that are carried out with the
configuration tool “IED Configurator”.
The sequence in which the settings are listed and described in this chapter
corresponds to their sequence in the menu tree of the “IED Configurator”.
However, only those setting parameters are described that are mandatory for
establishing the IEC 61850 communication.
Further setting parameters are listed in the “Settings” chapter under the function
groups IEC and GOOSE. A list of all available Logical Nodes can be found in a
separate document.

P631 9 IEC 61850 Settings via IED Configurator
9.1 Manage IED

The menu item “Manage IED” allows for establishing a connection between the
“IED Configurator” and the device.
The P631 features two memory “banks” one of which includes the active setting
parameters. The other memory bank is used with the configuration procedure for
parameters via “IED Configurator” or operating program.
Toggling between active and inactive memory bank is carried out either by
executing the parameter IEC: Switch Config. Bank or via “IED Configurator”
(after the connection has been established) by pressing the “Switch Banks”
button.
Parameter

Explicitly (and uniquely) assigned name for the dataset.
Location
Saving datasets at System/LLN0 is compulsory.
Contents
Content (data objects, data attributes) of a dataset.

The “GOOSE Capacity” display allows for checking the length of a dataset for
less than 1500 bytes to permit transmission in GOOSE messages.
Note: It is not possible to read the IEC configuration back from the P631 if the
“Dataset” sizes exceed the GOOSE size limit significantly. Therefore it is
recommended to limit the “Dataset” size(s) to 100% of the GOOSE capacity.
Too large a dataset can spoil IEC61850 communication. Hence, the dataset size
limit of 100% of the GOOSE capacity should not be exceeded, neither for
GOOSE nor for reports.

10 Commissioning
10.1 Safety Instructions
DANGER
DANGER
When installing and connecting the device the warning notices at the
beginning of Chapter “Installation and Connection” (Chapter 5, (p. 5-1)) must
be observed.
DANGER
The device must be reliably grounded before auxiliary voltage is turned on.
The surface-mounted case is grounded using the bolt and nut, appropriately
marked, as the ground connection. The flush-mounted case must be
grounded in the area of the rear sidepieces at the location provided. The
cross-section of the ground conductor must conform to applicable national
standards. A minimum cross section of 2.5 mm² (US: AWG12 or thicker) is
required.
In addition, a protective ground connection at the terminal contact on the
power supply module (identified by the letters “PE” on the terminal
connection diagram) is also required for proper operation of the device. The
cross-section of this ground conductor must also conform to applicable
national standards. A minimum cross section of 1.5 mm² (US: AWG14 or
thicker) is required.
DANGER
Before working on the device itself or in the space where the device is
connected, always disconnect the device from the supply.

P631 10 Commissioning
DANGER
insulation.
For pin-terminal connection devices, the terminal block for connection to the
current transformers is not a shorting block. Therefore always short-circuit
current transformers before loosening the threaded terminals.
DANGER
The power supply must be turned off for at least 5 s before power supply
module V is removed. Otherwise there is the danger of an electric shock.
DANGER
When increased-safety machinery is located in a hazardous area the P631
must always be installed outside of this hazardous area.
WARNING
The fiber-optic interface may only be connected or disconnected when the
supply voltage for the device is shut off.
WARNING
The PC interface is not designed for permanent connection. Consequently,
the female connector does not have the extra insulation from circuits
connected to the system that is required per VDE 0106 Part 101. Therefore,
when connecting the prescribed connecting cable be careful not to touch the
socket contacts.
WARNING
Application of analog signals to the measuring inputs must be in compliance
with the maximum permissible rating of the measuring inputs (see “Technical
Data”, Chapter 2, (p. 2-1)).
10-2 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

10 Commissioning P631
WARNING
When using the programmable logic (function group LOGIC), the user must
carry out a functional type test to conform to the requirements of the
relevant protection/control application. In particular, it is necessary to verify
that the requirements for the implementation of logic linking (by setting) as
well as the time performance during device startup, during operation and
when there is a fault (device blocking) are fulfilled.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 10-3

10.2 Commissioning Tests
10.2.1 Preparation
After the P631 has been installed and connected as described in Chapter
“Installation and Connection”, the commissioning procedure can begin.
Before turning on the power supply voltage, the following items must be checked
again:
● Is the device connected to the protective ground at the specified location?
● Does the nominal voltage of the battery agree with the nominal auxiliary
voltage of the device?
● Are the current and voltage transformer connections, grounding, and phase
sequences correct?
After the wiring work is completed, check the system to make sure it is properly
isolated. The conditions given in VDE 0100 must be satisfied.
Once all checks have been made, the power supply voltage may be turned on.
After voltage has been applied, the device starts up. During startup, various
startup tests are carried out (see Section 3.14, (p. 3-88)). The LED indicators for
HEALTHY (H1) and OUT OF SERVICE (H2) will light up. After approximately 15 s,
the P631 is ready for operation. By default (factory setting) or after a cold restart,
the device type “P631” and the time are displayed on the first line of the LCD
after the device has started up.
Once the change enabling command has been issued (see Section 6.11.3, (p. 6-
17)), all settings can be entered. The procedure for entering settings from the
integrated local control panel is described in Section 6.11.4, (p. 6-20).
If either the PC interface or the communication interface will be used for setting
the P631 and reading out event records, then the following settings must first be
made from the integrated local control panel.

Instructions on these settings are given in Chapters “Settings” and “Information
and Control Functions”.
The settings given above apply to the IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol. If
another protocol is being used for the communication interface, additional settings
may be necessary. See Chapter “Settings” for further details.
After the settings have been made, the following checks should be carried out
again before the blocking is cancelled:
● Does the function assignment of the binary signal inputs agree with the
terminal connection diagram?
● Has the correct operating mode been selected for the binary signal inputs?
● Does the function assignment of the output relays agree with the terminal
connection diagram?
● Has the correct operating mode been selected for the output relays?
● Have all settings been made correctly?
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 10-5

Now blocking can be cleared as follows (Par/Func/Glob menu branch):

● MAIN : Devi ce on -lin e = Yes (= on)
10.2.2 Testing
When testing trip or close commands configured to standard outputs, the CB must
not be mechanically locked, so that its auxiliary 52a/b contact could operate and
break the DC current. If the CB has to stay locked, tripping or closing circuit has to
be opened by terminal disconnection or test switch. Otherwise there is a high risk
of damaging the P631 output contact.
By using the signals and displays generated by the P631, it is possible to

determine whether the P631 is correctly set and properly interconnected with the
station. Signals are signaled by output relays and LED indicators and entered into
the event memory. In addition, the signals can be checked by selecting the
appropriate signal in the menu tree.
If the user does not wish the circuit breaker to operate during protection testing,
the trip commands can be blocked through MA IN: Trip cmd.block. US ER
(Par/Func/Glob menu branch) or an appropriately configured binary signal input.
If circuit breaker testing is desired, it is possible to issue a trip command for
100 ms through MA IN : Man . tr ip cmd. U SER (Oper/CtrlTest menu branch) or
an appropriately configured binary signal input. Selection of the trip command
from the integrated local control panel is password-protected (see
Section 6.11.8, (p. 6-28)).
The manual trip command is not executed unless the manual trip is included in the
selection of possible functions to effect a trip (in the configuration of trip
commands).
If the P631 is connected at substation control level, the user is advised to

activate the test mode via MA IN : Te st mode USER (Par/Func/Glob menu
branch) or an appropriately configured binary signal input. The telegrams are
then identified accordingly (reason for transmission: test mode).
10.2.3 Checking the Binary Signal Inputs

By selecting the corresponding state signal (Oper/Cycl/Phys menu branch), it is
possible to determine whether the input signal that is present is recognized
correctly by the device. The values displayed have the following meanings:
● "Low": Not energized.
● "High": Energized.
● Without function: No functions are assigned to the binary signal input.
This display appears regardless of the binary signal input mode selected.
10.2.4 Checking the Output Relays

It is possible to trigger the output relays for a settable time period for test
purposes (time setting at OUTP: Hold-ti me f or test in Oper/CtrlTest menu
branch). First select the output relay to be tested (OUTP: Relay assign.
f.test, Oper/CtrlTest menu branch).
Test triggering then occurs via OU TP : R elay te st (Oper/CtrlTest menu branch).
It is password-protected (see Section 6.11.8, (p. 6-28)).
10-6 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

WARNING
Before starting the test, open any triggering circuits for external devices so
that no inadvertent switching operations will take place.
10.2.5 Checking the Protection Function

Four parameter subsets are stored in the P631, one of which is activated. Before
checking the protective function, the user should determine which parameter
subset is activated. The active parameter subset is displayed at PSS: Actual
p ara m. sub set (Oper/Cycl/Log menu branch).
10.2.5.1 Checking Differential Protection

For single-side feed, the fault current characteristic crosses the first knee of the
tripping characteristic of the P631 so that the basic threshold value is always
checked.
The current I to which the P631 responds for single-side feed is calculated as
follows:
I diff > ⋅ I nom,z
I =
kam,z
● z: transformer end (a, b)

● Idiff>: set operate value
● Inom,z: nominal current of the P631 for transformer end a, b
● kam,z: amplitude-matching factor of transformer end a, b
For single-side one-phase or two-phase feed, a vector group-matching factor in
accordance with the set vector group ID needs to be taken into account in
addition to the amplitude-matching factor. The vector group-matching factors are
given in the tables below and the threshold current is calculated as follows:
I diff > ⋅ I nom,z
I ≥
kam,z ⋅ ks, y,z

● Inom,z: nominal current of the P631 for transformer end a, b
● ks,y,z: vector group-matching factor (see tables below)
The differential and restraining currents formed by the P631 are displayed as
measured operating data. They aid in assessing whether the connection of the
P631 to the system current transformers and the setting of the vector group ID
are correct. The tables below give the factors ks which serve to calculate the
differential current for single-side feed. The display of differential and restraining
currents is prevented, however, if they fall below minimum thresholds that can
be set by the user.
Id,y = kam,z·ks,y,z·Itest,x

● x: phase A, B or C
● measuring system 1, 2 or 3
● Id,y: differential current as displayed
● ks,y,z: vector group-matching factor (see tables below)
● Itest,x: test current phase A, B or C
In evaluating the test results, one should be aware that the P631 will trip as
follows, if a value of Idiff>> or Idiff>>> is exceeded.
● Idiff>> exceeded: Trip regardless of the inrush and overfluxing restraint;
● Idiff>>> exceeded: Trip regardless of the restraining current and regardless
of all other restraints.

Tab. 10-4: Factors for single-side, two-phase, phase-opposition feed in phases B to C, not zero

The connection of the phase currents can be checked using the phase angles
provided as measured operating data by the P631.
If the phase currents are connected correctly and there is an ideal balanced load
on the transformer, the phase angles between the phase currents of any one
transformer end are displayed as follows:
Phase sequence A–B–C

● φAB,z = φBC,z = φCA,z = 120°
Phase sequence A–C–B

● φAB,z = φBC,z = φCA,z = −120°
This is not influenced by the set value of the function parameter for the phase
sequence.
The phase angle between the phase currents of two transformer ends for a
particular phase is a function of the vector group of the transformer. This phase
angle should be displayed as follows:
Vector group
0 = 12 φx,A–z = ±180°
1 φx,A–z = −150°
2 φx,A–z = −120°
3 φx,A–z = −90°
4 φx,A–z = −60°
5 φx,A–z = −30°
6 φx,A–z = 0°
7 φx,A–z = 30°
8 φx,A–z = 60°
9 φx,A–z = 90°
10 φx,A–z = 120°
11 φx,A–z = 150°
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 10-9

This is not influenced by the set value of the function parameter for the phase
sequence. Changing the setting for the connection scheme of an involved series
transformer, on the other hand, will change the measured operating data value
by ±180°.
10.2.5.2 Checking Ground Differential Protection

The current I to which the P631 responds for single-side feed, neutral-point side,
is calculated as follows:
I diff > ⋅ I nom
I ≥
kam,z

● Inom: nominal current of the P631
There will be no trip for single-side, single-pole, phase-side feed.
The differential and restraining currents formed by the P631 are displayed. The
display of differential and restraining currents is prevented, however, if they fall
below minimum thresholds that can be set by the user.
10.2.6 Completing Commissioning

The P631 is protected against damage resulting from polarity reversal.
● The P631 issues an “Alarm” signal on LED H 3.
o Identify the specific problem by reading out the monitoring signal
memory (see Section 6.11.6.2, (p. 6-25)). The table below lists possible
monitoring or warning indication (provided that a configuration setting
has been entered at SFMON: Fct. ass ign. warning), the faulty area,
the P631's response, and the mode of the output relay configured for
“Warning” and “Blocked/faulty”.
Key
● –: No reaction and/or no output relay triggered.
● Yes: The corresponding output relay is triggered.

12.1 Maintenance Procedures in the Power Supply Area

Replacement of the power supply module must be carried out by trained
personnel, and the power supply voltage must be turned off while the work is
being performed.
DANGER
Always turn off the power supply voltage before removing a hardware
module.
The power supply must be turned off for at least 5 s before power supply
module V is removed.
Otherwise there is the danger of an electric shock.
WARNING
The following instructions apply to surface-mounted cases:
connecting cable. Remember the connector position! Do not bend the
connecting cable.
NOTICE
The replaced power supply module must be disposed of in compliance with
applicable national regulations.
In general, the electronic components used for the device family Easergy MiCOM
30 are designed for a long service life.
For the power supply, however, dimensioning requirements dictate the use of
electrolytic capacitors that are subject to increased wear and tear. The useful life
of these capacitors depends on their temperature and thus on the components
fitted in the device, the load conditions, device location and environmental
conditions.
The internal voltage levels are cyclically checked by the P30 self-monitoring
functions. In case the voltage levels deviate from their specified values a warning
message will be issued or, for persistent problems, the device will be set to a
safe condition (blocking). Hence, there is no imperative need to replace the
power supply module after a pre-defined period of time. However, should you
need to guarantee a high availability of the device then we recommend
preventive replacement of the power supply module after a period of 8 to 10
years.
Moreover, the power supply module of the P631 is equipped with a lithium
battery for non-volatile storage of fault data and for keeping the internal clock
running in the event of failure of the auxiliary power supply. The useful life of the
lithium battery depends on the auxiliary power supply of the device.
12-2 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

12 Maintenance P631
● If the P631 is continuously connected to the auxiliary power supply, then

there is no discharging of the battery, and the battery will thus not be
depleted during its service life.
● Should the P631 be disconnected from the auxiliary power supply for
several years, then the battery capacity would decrease.
During normal operation, the battery voltage is monitored. If the voltage falls
below a pre-defined threshold, a warning message will be issued and the battery
has to be replaced.
After the maintenance procedures described above have been completed, new
commissioning tests as described in Section 10.2, (p. 10-4) must be carried out.
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 12-3

P631 12 Maintenance
12.2 Routine Functional Testing

The P631 is used as a safety device and must therefore be routinely injection
tested for proper operation. The first functional tests should be carried out
approximately 6 to 12 months after commissioning. Functional tests should be
performed at intervals of 2 to 3 years – 4 years at the maximum.
The P631 incorporates in its system a very extensive self-monitoring function for
hardware and software. The internal structure guarantees, for example, that
communication within the processor system will be checked on a continuing
basis.
Nonetheless, there are a number of subfunctions that cannot be checked by the
self-monitoring feature without injection testing from the device terminals. The
respective device-specific properties and settings must be observed in such
cases.
In particular, none of the control and signaling circuits that are run to the device
from the outside are checked by the self-monitoring function.
12-4 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

12 Maintenance P631
12.3 Analog Input Circuits

The analog inputs are fed through an analog preprocessing feature (anti-aliasing
filtering) to a common analog-to-digital converter. In conjunction with the self-
monitoring function, the CT/VT supervision function that is available for the
device’s general functions can detect deviations in many cases. However, it is
still necessary to test from the device terminals in order to make sure that the
analog measuring circuits are functioning correctly.
The best way to carry out a static test of the analog input circuits is to check the
primary measured operating data using the operating data measurement
function or to use a suitable testing instrument. A “small” measured value (such
as the nominal current in the current path) and a “large” measured value (such
as the nominal voltage in the voltage path) should be used to check the
measuring range of the A/D converter. This makes it possible to check the entire
dynamic range.
The accuracy of operating data measurement is <1%. An important factor in
evaluating device performance is long-term performance based on comparison
with previous measurements.
In addition, a dynamic test can be used to check transmission performance and
the phase relation of the current transformers and the anti-aliasing filter. This
can best be done by measuring the trigger point of the first zone when there is a
two-phase ungrounded fault. For this test, the value of the short-circuit current
should be such that a loop voltage of approximately 2 V is obtained at the
device's terminals with the set impedance. Furthermore, a suitable testing
instrument that correctly replicates the two-phase ungrounded fault should be
used for this purpose.
This dynamic test is not absolutely necessary, since it only checks the stability of
a few less passive components. Based on reliability analysis, the statistical
expectation is that only one component in 10 years in 1000 devices will be
outside the tolerance range.
Additional analog testing of such factors as the impedance characteristic or the
starting characteristic is not necessary, in our opinion, since information
processing is completely digital and is based on the measured analog current
and voltage values. Proper operation was checked in conjunction with type
testing.

P631 12 Maintenance
12.4 Binary Opto Inputs

The binary inputs are not checked by the self-monitoring function. However, a
testing function is integrated into the software so that the trigger state of each
input can be read out (Oper/Cycl/Phys menu branch). This check should be
performed for each input being used and can be done, if necessary, without
disconnecting any device wiring.
12-6 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

12 Maintenance P631
12.5 Binary Outputs

With respect to binary outputs, the integrated self-monitoring function includes
even two-phase triggering of the relay coils of all the relays. There is no
monitoring function for the external contact circuit. In this case, the all-or-nothing
relays must be triggered by way of device functions or integrated test functions.
For these testing purposes, triggering of the output circuits is integrated into the
software through a special control function (Oper/CtrlTest menu branch).
WARNING
Before starting the test, open any triggering circuits for external devices so
that no inadvertent switching operations will take place.

P631 12 Maintenance
12.6 Serial Interfaces

The integrated self-monitoring function for the PC or communication interface
also includes the communication module. The complete communication system,
including connecting link and fiber-optic module (if applicable), is always totally
monitored as long as a link is established through the control program or the
communication protocol.
12-8 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

P631
13 Storage
Devices must be stored in a dry and clean environment. A temperature range of
-25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F) must be maintained during storage (see
chapter entitled “Technical Data”). The relative humidity must be controlled so
that neither condensation nor ice formation will result.
If the units are stored without being connected to auxiliary voltage, then the
electrolytic capacitors in the power supply area need to be recharged every
4 years. Recharge the capacitors by connecting auxiliary voltage to the P631 for
approximately 10 minutes.
If the units are stored during a longer time, the battery of the power supply
module is used for the continuous buffering of the event data in the working
memory of the processor module. Therefore the battery is permanently required
and discharges over time. In order to avoid this continuous discharge, it is
recommended to remove the power supply module from the mounting rack
during long storage periods. The contents of the event memory should be
previously read out and stored separately!

Information about Ordering Options

Language version
In order to display the Russian data model, the corresponding order extension
number (‑805) must be added upon ordering so that the hardware option
15-2 P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653

15 Order Information P631
supporting Cyrillic characters is integrated. With this ordering option, reference

menu texts (English) will be available for display. However, other Western
European languages containing extra characters will not be fully supported.
Consequently, selecting the “Russian / English” ordering option means that it will
not be possible to download Western European data models into the device.
Binary Inputs' Switching Threshold
The standard version of binary signal inputs (opto-couplers) is recommended in
most applications, as these inputs operate with any voltage from 18 V. Special
versions with higher pick-up/drop-off thresholds (see also “Technical Data”,
Chapter 2, (p. 2-1)) are provided for applications where a higher switching
threshold is expressly required.

Symbol Description
To obtain more space for representing a group of related

elements, contours of the elements may be joined or cascaded if
the following rules are met:
There is no functional linkage between elements whose common
contour line is oriented in the signal flow direction.
=
Note:
This rule does not necessarily apply to configurations with two or
more signal flow directions, such as for symbols with a control
block and an output block.
D5Z08X1B
There exists at least one logical link between elements whose
common contour line runs perpendicularly to the signal flow
direction.

Non-stable flip-flop
When the input variable changes to 1, a pulse sequence is
D5Z08XNB
generated at the output.
The ! to the left of the G indicates that the pulse sequence starts
with the input variable transition (synchronized start).
If there is a ! to the right of the G, the pulse sequence ends with
the ending of the 1 signal at the input (synchronized stop).

A4 Telecontrol Interfaces
A4.1 Telecontrol Interface per EN 60870-5-101 or IEC 870-5-101

(Companion Standard)
This section incorporates Section 8 of EN 60870-5-101 (1996), which includes a
general definition of the telecontrol interface for substation control systems.
A4.1.1 Interoperability
This application-based standard (companion standard) specifies parameter sets
and other options from which subsets are to be selected in order to implement
specific telecontrol systems. Certain parameters such as the number of bytes
(octets) in the COMMON ADDRESS of the ASDU are mutually exclusive. This
means that only one value of the defined parameter is allowed per system. Other
parameters, such as the listed set of different process information in the
command and monitor direction, permit definition of the total number or of
subsets that are suitable for the given application. This section combines the
parameters given in the previous sections in order to facilitate an appropriate
selection for a specific application. If a system is made up of several system
components supplied by different manufacturers, then it is necessary for all
partners to agree on the selected parameters.
The boxes for the selected parameters should be checked [see National Preface
of EN 60870-5-101].
The overall definition of a system may also require individual selection of certain
parameters for specific parts of a system such as individual selection of scaling
factors for individually addressable measured values.

Release: 2004-04-30 The new hardware variants now offer, per ordering
option, additional operating thresholds for the binary
signal inputs:
● >18 V (standard variant) (no order ext. No.)
● >90 V (60...70% of VA,nom = 125...150 V) (Order
ext. No. 461)
● >155 V (60...70% of VA,nom = 220...250 V) (Order
ext. No. 462)
Installation of the standard variant is generally
recommended if the application does not specifically
require such binary signal inputs with higher operate
thresholds.

SFMON The configuration table of the user defined alarm

condition has been extended by the instantaneous and
timed outputs 30…32(t) of the programmable LOGIC:
● (098 053) SFMON: Ou tput 30 ~ (042 090)
LOGI C: Ou tpu t 30
● (098 054) SFMON: Output 30 ( t) ~ (042 091)

LO GIC : Output 32
● (098 058) SFMON: Ou tpu t 3 2 (t) ~ (042 095)
LOGIC: Output 3 2 ( t)
These logic outputs are included in the warning signals
by setting SFMON: Fct. ass ign . war nin g and they
are also recorded in the monitoring signal memory.
These signals can be used to create an alarm signal
under complex application conditions. This signaling
has no influence on the device's operation (i.e. no
warm restart or blocking).
Addendum:
As of version –605 the “memory function” for the
warning signal memory may be set. After the
associated timer stage has elapsed, a renewed
occurrence of a warning is processed the same way as
if it where a first occurrence.

Version Changes
COMM1 Bug fixing in the COURIER protocol:

Upon activation of COURIER protocol a warm restart of
the device was initiated.
Bug fixing:
● IEC 60870-5-101: Support of the 7-byte time tag
length has been corrected: (003 198) COMM1 :
Ti me tag le ngth = 7 Byte
● IEC 60870-5-101: Transmission of negative cyclic
measured values has been corrected.
● IEC 60870-5-101: Acknowledgment of the general
scan command has been corrected.
● IEC 60870-5-101: Signals in the general scan are
now transmitted correctly without a time tag.
● IEC 60870-5-101: Command rejections issued
internally by the protection device (between the
processor module and communication module)
are no longer signaled by the communication
interface.
● IEC 60870-5-101: Commands are now transmitted
correctly, even when the ASDU address length is
2 byte: (003 193) COMM1: Addres s l engt h
A SD U = 2 byte
FT_RC The recording duration for binary tracks is now limited

to 1 minute in order to prevent recording of endless
events.
MAIN Priority control of clock synchronization is now settable.

Positive- and negative-sequence currents from all ends
are now continuously calculated and displayed as
measured operating data (primary and per-unit values).
OL_RC, FT_RC Overload and fault recording now have a joint and
complete list of possible entries (merged list of all
previous signals).
In practice it became apparent that limitations with
regard to possible entries in both recording memories
would bring no advantages but make analyzing more
difficult, as both recording memories could be open at
the same time (e.g. a thermal overload situation could
lead to a loss of insulation which would cause a fault).
P631/EN M/R-42-B // P631‑311‑653 A5-7

Version Changes
DIFF The minimum setting value for the characteristic

gradients m1 and m2 have been modified to 0.10
(previously 0.15).
The starting condition for the saturation discriminator
was modified so that the DIFF protection testing may
now be carried out again with conventional test sets
(which do not provide correct transient signals).
Along with the new CTS function, an additional
threshold, (080 000) DIFF: Idiff >( C TS) PSx, is
provided in order to de-sensitize differential protection
in case there is a fault in the CT's secondary circuit. For
more information about this feature please refer to CTS
description.
Bug fixing:
● In some cases the overreaching inrush
stabilization function did not operate properly. In
addition the signal from the inrush stabilization
was sometimes immediately reset when a
differential protection trip was issued.
CTS First implementation of a current transformer

secondary wiring supervision which operates fast
enough to prevent differential protection from tripping
under load in case of a CT failure.
This function can only be used if the new processor
board with DSP coprocessor is fitted!
MCM_x The existing measuring-circuit monitoring functions,

based on the phase currents per end, have been
enhanced and can now be used to detect broken
conductors (“broken conductor protection”) on the CTs'
primary sides.

previous hardware versions.

DIFF
Bug fixing:
● In versions ‑606 to ‑610 inrush signaling from all
three measuring systems was suppressed when
harmonic blocking in measuring system 1 was
triggered. This was not accompanied by tripping.
Nevertheless there was the possibility of an
overreaction (tripping) when an inrush condition
was not recognized by one measuring system
with the operating mode set to “Not phase-
selective” and in an other measuring system the
second harmonic component reached a value of
approximately between 70% and 130% of the
fundamental.

Version Changes
As an ordering option for the 40TE and 84TE model

versions there is now a variant available with a
detachable HMI. The detachable HMI is always supplied
with a case width of 40TE.
The detachable HMI provides the following new
features:
● 6 freely configurable function keys as well as 6
freely configurable LED indicators (H18 to H23)
each situated next to a function key.
● The freely configurable LED indicators (H4 to H16
and H18 to H23) are provided as multi-color LEDs.
Note:
When the local control panel is ordered together with a
detachable HMI for hardware version ‑306, it is
delivered with function keys and multi-colored LED
indicators fitted. Otherwise the earlier local control
panel is delivered without having function keys and
multi-colored LED indicators fitted.
With hardware version ‑307 and irrelevant of the
ordering option, the local control panel is delivered with
function keys and multi-colored LED indicators fitted.

Instead of setting a router address and target network,
so as to establish a communication link to a client
situated exterior to the local network, now only the
setting of the gateway address is required via
(104 011) IEC: Gate way addre ss.
Now “unbuffered reports” are available for all logical
nodes.
LED Configuration, operating mode and physical state of the

permanently configured LED indicators H1 and H17 are
now displayed via configuration parameters and
physical state signals.
The new detachable HMI provides the following
extended display functionalities:
● The operating mode for the LED indicators has
been extended by the operating mode LED
flashing.
● Two differing signals may now be assigned to the
freely configurable LED indicators (H 4 to H 16
and H 18 to H 23) to emit either red or green
light. If both assigned signals are active the
resulting LED color will be 'amber' (yellow).

A new communication module (“REB” = “Redundant
Ethernet Board”) is now available as an ordering
option.
This module can be used for redundant communication
via IEC 61850 and may be fitted to slot 2, as an
alternative to the other communication modules. The
following communication protocols are supported:
● SHP (Self-Healing Protocol).
● RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).
● DHP (Dual-Homing Protocol).
A detailed description of the module and the
appropriate network connections is available as a
separate document (“Redundant Ethernet Board,
Application Guide”).

IEC The Originator Category information is now extensively

supported for control commands.
Bug fixing:
● If single-pole signals of function group SIG_1 were
active during device startup, this could lead to an
aborted initialization of the Ethernet
communication module.
● During the process of connection with clients that
use the “IntegrityPeriod” option, sporadically the
MMS communication of the Ethernet
communication module would crash without an
internal monitoring response to re-establish the
functionality. (GOOSE messaging and other
communication tasks were not affected.)
after completion of Ethernet communication
module startup, this could lead to the temporary
erroneous reporting of default values for the
external device status (DEVxx) and of the single-
pole signals (SIG_1).
● Reports of events could get lost if too many state
changes occurred in a short period of time,
especially during secondary injection testing.
● Events that occured after a communication link
had been interrupted and before this interruption
had been detected by the server, were not sent
as “Buffered reports” after the connection was re-
established.
GOOSE The GOOSE Time Allowed to Live (TAL) supervision is

enhanced with respect to simultaneous state changes
of multiple GOOSE messages.
PC, COMM2
Bug fixing:
after startup of the Ethernet communication
module, the initialization of the second internal
communication interface could remain
incomplete. As a consequence, access by the
operating program via the COMM2 interface or by
tunneling was not possible in this case.

(brcbA … brcbH) can be allocated to max. 4 clients
(previously: 1).
OUTP Bug notice: With version P63x -650 the test operation
of output relays can be executed independent from the
off-line state of the device!
MAIN The previously available parameters (003 039) MA IN :

Warm re start und (000 085) MA IN: C ol d restart
have been relabeled MA IN: Sof t Warm res tart and
MA IN: Soft Col d re start, respectively. They still
trigger a restart of the device, but now the hardware
tests are not carried out anymore during the startup
phase. (This way the restart needs less time.)
For a restart including hardware tests, the following
new parameters can now be used:
● (010 166) MA IN: Warm re start
● (009 254) MA IN: C ol d res tart
LOG_2 There is a new function group LOG_2 (Programmable

Logic 2). It is identical to the previously available
function group LOGIC, but it offers only four logical
equations. These, however, have long-term timers,
