on some products. We strongly recommend that you hard wire these contacts into the
substation's automation system, for alarm purposes.
Caution:
Earth the equipment with the supplied PCT (Protective Conductor Terminal).
Caution:
Do not remove the PCT.
Caution:
The PCT is sometimes used to terminate cable screens. Always check the PCT’s integrity
after adding or removing such earth connections.
20 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 2 - Safety Information
Caution:
Use a locknut or similar mechanism to ensure the integrity of stud-connected PCTs.
Caution:
The recommended minimum PCT wire size is 2.5 mm² for countries whose mains supply
is 230 V (e.g. Europe) and 3.3 mm² for countries whose mains supply is 110 V (e.g. North
America). This may be superseded by local or country wiring regulations.
For P60 products, the recommended minimum PCT wire size is 6 mm². See product
documentation for details.
Caution:
The PCT connection must have low-inductance and be as short as possible.
Caution:
All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that are
pre-wired, but not used, should be earthed, or connected to a common grouped
potential.
Caution:

Caution:
Check CT circuit rating (rating label) and integrity of connections.
Caution:
Check protective fuse or miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rating.
Caution:
Check integrity of the PCT connection.
Caution:
Check voltage and current rating of external wiring, ensuring it is appropriate for the
application.
Warning:
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be
lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. Short the secondary of the line CT
before opening any connections to it.
P345-AD-EN-1 21
Chapter 2 - Safety Information P345
Note:
For most GE equipment with ring-terminal connections, the threaded terminal block for current transformer termination is
automatically shorted if the module is removed. Therefore external shorting of the CTs may not be required. Check the
equipment documentation and wiring diagrams first to see if this applies.
Caution:
Where external components such as resistors or voltage dependent resistors (VDRs) are
used, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns if touched.
Warning:
Take extreme care when using external test blocks and test plugs such as the MMLG,
MMLB and P990, as hazardous voltages may be exposed. Ensure that CT shorting links
are in place before removing test plugs, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.
Warning:
Data communication cables with accessible screens and/or screen conductors,
(including optical fibre cables with metallic elements), may create an electric shock
hazard in a sub-station environment if both ends of the cable screen are not connected
to the same equipotential bonded earthing system.
i. The installation shall include all necessary protection measures to ensure that no
fault currents can flow in the connected cable screen conductor.
ii. The connected cable shall have its screen conductor connected to the protective
conductor terminal (PCT) of the connected equipment at both ends. This connection
may be inherent in the connectors provided on the equipment but, if there is any doubt,
this must be confirmed by a continuity test.
iii. The protective conductor terminal (PCT) of each piece of connected equipment shall
be connected directly to the same equipotential bonded earthing system.
iv. If, for any reason, both ends of the cable screen are not connected to the same
equipotential bonded earth system, precautions must be taken to ensure that such
screen connections are made safe before work is done to, or in proximity to, any such
cables.
vi. Equipment temporarily connected to this product for maintenance purposes shall be
protectively earthed (if the temporary equipment is required to be protectively
earthed), directly to the same equipotential bonded earthing system as the product.
Warning:
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules which provide copper Ethernet connections
typically do not provide any additional safety isolation. Copper Ethernet SFP modules
must only be used in connector positions intended for this type of connection.

2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
The main components comprising devices based on the Px4x platform are as follows:
● The housing, consisting of a front panel and connections at the rear
● The Main processor module consisting of the main CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory and an interface
to the front panel HMI (Human Machine Interface)
● A selection of plug-in boards and modules with presentation at the rear for the power supply,
communication functions, digital I/O, analogue inputs, and time synchronisation connectivity
All boards and modules are connected by a parallel data and address bus, which allows the processor module to
send and receive information to and from the other modules as required. There is also a separate serial data bus
for conveying sampled data from the input module to the CPU. These parallel and serial databuses are shown as a
single interconnection module in the following figure, which shows typical modules and the flow of data between
them.

P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
3 MECHANICAL IMPLEMENTATION
All products based on the Px4x platform have common hardware architecture. The hardware is modular and
consists of the following main parts:
● Case and terminal blocks
● Boards and modules
● Front panel
The case comprises the housing metalwork and terminal blocks at the rear. The boards fasten into the terminal
blocks and are connected together by a ribbon cable. This ribbon cable connects to the processor in the front
panel.
The following diagram shows an exploded view of a typical product. The diagram shown does not necessarily
represent exactly the product model described in this manual.
The products are available in panel-mount or standalone versions. All products are nominally 4U high. This equates
to 177.8 mm or 7 inches.
The cases are pre-finished steel with a conductive covering of aluminium and zinc. This provides good grounding
at all joints, providing a low resistance path to earth that is essential for performance in the presence of external
noise.
The case width depends on the product type and its hardware options. There are three different case widths for
the described range of products: 40TE, 60TE and 80TE. The case dimensions and compatibility criteria are as
follows:
Case width (TE) Case width (mm) Case width (inches)
40TE 203.2 8
P345-AD-EN-1 31
Chapter 3 - Hardware Design P345
Note:
Not all case sizes are available for all models.

4 FRONT PANEL
P345-AD-EN-1 33
Chapter 3 - Hardware Design P345
Note:
As the LCD display has a resolution of 16 characters by 3 lines, some of the information is in a condensed mnemonic form.
4.1.3 KEYPAD
The keypad consists of the following keys:
4 arrow keys to navigate the menus (organised around the Enter key)
34 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
A read key for viewing larger blocks of text (arrow keys now used for
scrolling)
2 hot keys for scrolling through the default display and for control of
setting groups. These are situated directly below the LCD display.
The port is intended for temporary connection during testing, installation and commissioning. It is not intended to
be used for permanent SCADA communications. This port supports the Courier communication protocol only.
Courier is a proprietary communication protocol to allow communication with a range of protection equipment,
and between the device and the Windows-based support software package.
You can connect the unit to a PC with a USB cable up to 5 m in length.
The inactivity timer for the front port is set to 15 minutes. This controls how long the unit maintains its level of
password access on the front port. If no messages are received on the front port for 15 minutes, any password
access level that has been enabled is cancelled.
Note:
The front USB port does not support automatic extraction of event and disturbance records, although this data can be
accessed manually.
Caution:
When not in use, always close the cover of the USB port to prevent contamination.

P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
5 REAR PANEL
The MiCOM Px40 series uses a modular construction. Most of the internal workings are on boards and modules
which fit into slots. Some of the boards plug into terminal blocks, which are bolted onto the rear of the unit.
However, some boards such as the communications boards have their own connectors. The rear panel consists of
these terminal blocks plus the rears of the communications boards.
The back panel cut-outs and slot allocations vary. This depends on the product, the type of boards and the
terminal blocks needed to populate the case. The following diagram shows a typical rear view of a case populated
with various boards.
Note:
This diagram is just an example and may not show the exact product described in this manual. It also does not show the full
range of available boards, just a typical arrangement.
Not all slots are the same size. The slot width depends on the type of board or terminal block. For example, HD
(heavy duty) terminal blocks, as required for the analogue inputs, require a wider slot size than MD (medium duty)
terminal blocks. The board positions are not generally interchangeable. Each slot is designed to house a particular
type of board. Again this is model-dependent.
The device may use one or more of the terminal block types shown in the following diagram. The terminal blocks
are fastened to the rear panel with screws.
● Heavy duty (HD) terminal blocks for CT and VT circuits
● Medium duty (MD) terminal blocks for the power supply, opto-inputs, relay outputs and rear
communications port
● MiDOS terminal blocks for CT and VT circuits
● RTD/CLIO terminal block for connection to analogue transducers
P345-AD-EN-1 37

Figure 7: Terminal block types
Note:
Not all products use all types of terminal blocks. The product described in this manual may use one or more of the above
types.
38 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
6.1 PCBS
A PCB typically consists of the components, a front connector for connecting into the main system parallel bus via
a ribbon cable, and an interface to the rear. This rear interface may be:
● Directly presented to the outside world (as is the case for communication boards such as Ethernet Boards)
● Presented to a connector, which in turn connects into a terminal block bolted onto the rear of the case (as is
the case for most of the other board types)
6.2 SUBASSEMBLIES
A sub-assembly consists of two or more boards bolted together with spacers and connected with electrical
connectors. It may also have other special requirements such as being encased in a metal housing for shielding
against electromagnetic radiation.
Boards are designated by a part number beginning with ZN, whereas pre-assembled sub-assemblies are
designated with a part number beginning with GN. Sub-assemblies, which are put together at the production
stage, do not have a separate part number.
P345-AD-EN-1 39
Chapter 3 - Hardware Design P345
The main processor board performs all calculations and controls the operation of all other modules in the IED,
including the data communication and user interfaces. This is the only board that does not fit into one of the slots.
It resides in the front panel and connects to the rest of the system using an internal ribbon cable.
The LCD and LEDs are mounted on the processor board along with the front panel communication ports.
The memory on the main processor board is split into two categories: volatile and non-volatile. The volatile
memory is fast access SRAM, used by the processor to run the software and store data during calculations. The
non-volatile memory is sub-divided into two groups:
● Flash memory to store software code, text and configuration data including the present setting values.
● Supercapacitor-backed SRAM to store disturbance, event, fault and maintenance record data.
There are two board types available depending on the size of the case:
● For models in 40TE cases
● For models in 60TE cases and larger
40 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
The power supply board provides power to the unit. One of three different configurations of the power supply
board can be fitted to the unit. This is specified at the time of order and depends on the magnitude of the supply
voltage that will be connected to it.
There are three board types, which support the following voltage ranges:
● 24/54 V DC
● 48/125 V DC or 40-100V AC
● 110/250 V DC or 100-240V AC
The power supply board connector plugs into a medium duty terminal block. This terminal block is always
positioned on the right hand side of the unit looking from the rear.
The power supply board is usually assembled together with a relay output board to form a complete subassembly,
as shown in the following diagram.
P345-AD-EN-1 41
Chapter 3 - Hardware Design P345
The power supply outputs are used to provide isolated power supply rails to the various modules within the unit.
Three voltage levels are used by the unit’s modules:
● 5.1 V for all of the digital circuits
● +/- 16 V for the analogue electronics such as on the input board
● 22 V for driving the output relay coils.
All power supply voltages, including the 0 V earth line, are distributed around the unit by the 64-way ribbon cable.
The power supply board incorporates inrush current limiting. This limits the peak inrush current to approximately
10 A.
Power is applied to pins 1 and 2 of the terminal block, where pin 1 is negative and pin 2 is positive. The pin
numbers are clearly marked on the terminal block as shown in the following diagram.
42 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
6.4.1 WATCHDOG
The Watchdog contacts are also hosted on the power supply board. The Watchdog facility provides two output
relay contacts, one normally open and one normally closed. These are used to indicate the health of the device
and are driven by the main processor board, which continually monitors the hardware and software when the
device is in service.
P345-AD-EN-1 43
Chapter 3 - Hardware Design P345
44 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
An additional serial port with D-type presentation is available as an optional board, if required.
The input module consists of the main input board coupled together with an instrument transformer board. The
instrument transformer board contains the voltage and current transformers, which isolate and scale the
analogue input signals delivered by the system transformers. The input board contains the A/D conversion and
digital processing circuitry, as well as eight digital isolated inputs (opto-inputs).
The boards are connected together physically and electrically. The module is encased in a metal housing for
shielding against electromagnetic interference.

A/D Conversion
The differential analogue inputs from the CT and VT transformers are presented to the main input board as shown.
Each differential input is first converted to a single input quantity referenced to the input board’s earth potential.
The analogue inputs are sampled and converted to digital, then filtered to remove unwanted properties. The
samples are then passed through a serial interface module which outputs data on the serial sample data bus.
The calibration coefficients are stored in non-volatile memory. These are used by the processor board to correct
for any amplitude or phase errors introduced by the transformers and analogue circuitry.
Opto-isolated inputs
The other function of the input board is to read in the state of the digital inputs. As with the analogue inputs, the
digital inputs must be electrically isolated from the power system. This is achieved by means of the 8 on-board
optical isolators for connection of up to 8 digital signals. The digital signals are passed through an optional noise
filter before being buffered and presented to the unit’s processing boards in the form of a parallel data bus.
This selectable filtering allows the use of a pre-set filter of ½ cycle which renders the input immune to induced
power-system noise on the wiring. Although this method is secure it can be slow, particularly for inter-tripping. This
can be improved by switching off the ½ cycle filter, in which case one of the following methods to reduce ac noise
should be considered.
● Use double pole switching on the input
● Use screened twisted cable on the input circuit

P345 Chapter 3 - Hardware Design
The opto-isolated logic inputs can be configured for the nominal battery voltage of the circuit for which they are a
part, allowing different voltages for different circuits such as signalling and tripping.
Note:
The opto-input circuitry can be provided without the A/D circuitry as a separate board, which can provide supplementary
opto-inputs.

For power frequencies that are not equal to the selected rated frequency, the harmonics are attenuated to zero
amplitude. For small deviations of +/-1 Hz, this is not a problem but to allow for larger deviations, frequency
tracking is used.
Frequency tracking automatically adjusts the sampling rate of the analog to digital conversion to match the
applied signal. In the absence of a suitable signal to amplitude track, the sample rate defaults to the selected rated
frequency (Fn).
If the signal is in the tracking range of 5 to 70 Hz, the relay locks on to the signal and the measured frequency
coincides with the power frequency, as shown in the figure above. The resulting outputs for harmonics up to the
23rd will be zero. The device frequency tracks off any voltage or current in the order VA/VB/VC/IA/IB/IC down to
10% Vn for voltage and 5%In for current.

The transformer board hosts the current and voltage transformers. These are used to step down the currents and
voltages originating from the power systems' current and voltage transformers to levels that can be used by the
devices' electronic circuitry. In addition to this, the on-board CT and VT transformers provide electrical isolation
between the unit and the power system.
The transformer board is connected physically and electrically to the input board to form a complete input module.
For terminal connections, please refer to the wiring diagrams.

The IRIG-B board can be fitted to provide an accurate timing reference for the device. The IRIG-B signal is
connected to the board via a BNC connector. The timing information is used to synchronise the IED's internal real-
time clock to an accuracy of 1 ms. The internal clock is then used for time tagging events, fault, maintenance and
disturbance records.
IRIG-B interface is available in modulated or demodulated formats.
The IRIG-B facility is provided in combination with other functionality on a number of additional boards, such as:
● Fibre board with IRIG-B
● Second rear communications board with IRIG-B
● Ethernet board with IRIG-B
● Redundant Ethernet board with IRIG-B
There are three types of each of these boards; one type which accepts a modulated IRIG-B input, one type which
accepts a demodulated IRIG-B input and one type which accepts a universal IRIG-B input.

This board provides an interface for communicating with a master station. This communication link can use all
compatible protocols (Courier, IEC 60870-5-103, MODBUS and DNP 3.0). It is a fibre-optic alternative to the metallic
RS485 port presented on the power supply terminal block. The metallic and fibre optic ports are mutually exclusive.
The fibre optic port uses BFOC 2.5 ST connectors.
The board comes in two varieties; one with an IRIG-B input and one without:

The optional communications board containing the secondary communication ports provide two serial interfaces
presented on 9 pin D-type connectors. These interfaces are known as SK4 and SK5. Both connectors are female
connectors, but are configured as DTE ports. This means pin 2 is used to transmit information and pin 3 to receive.
SK4 can be used with RS232, RS485 and K-bus. SK5 can only be used with RS232 and is used for electrical
teleprotection. The optional rear communications board and IRIG-B board are mutually exclusive since they use
the same hardware slot. However, the board comes in two varieties; one with an IRIG-B input and one without.

A High Break output relay board is available as an option. It comprises four normally open output contacts, which
are suitable for high breaking loads.
A High Break contact consists of a high capacity relay with a MOSFET in parallel with it. The MOSFET has a varistor
placed across it to provide protection, which is required when switching off inductive loads. This is because the
stored energy in the inductor causes a high reverse voltage that could damage the MOSFET, if not protected.
When there is a control input command to operate an output contact the miniature relay is operated at the same
time as the MOSFET. The miniature relay contact closes in nominally 3.5 ms and is used to carry the continuous
load current. The MOSFET operates in less than 0.2 ms, but is switched off after 7.5 ms.
When the control input is reset, the MOSFET is again turned on for 7.5 mS. The miniature relay resets in nominally
3.5 ms before the MOSFET. This means the MOSFET is used to break the load. The MOSFET absorbs the energy
when breaking inductive loads and so limits the resulting voltage surge. This contact arrangement is for switching
DC circuits only.
The board number is:

The software, which executes on the main processor, can be divided into a number of functions as illustrated
above. Each function is further broken down into a number of separate tasks. These tasks are then run according
to a scheduler. They are run at either a fixed rate or they are event driven. The tasks communicate with each other
as and when required.

At the conclusion of the initialization software the supervisor task begins the process of starting the platform
software.
At the successful conclusion of all of these tests the unit is entered into service and the application software is
started up.
66 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 4 - Software Design
4 PLATFORM SOFTWARE
The platform software has three main functions:
● To control the logging of records generated by the protection software, including alarms, events, faults, and
maintenance records
● To store and maintain a database of all of the settings in non-volatile memory
● To provide the internal interface between the settings database and the user interfaces, using the front
panel interface and the front and rear communication ports
The logs are maintained such that the oldest record is overwritten with the newest record. The logging function
can be initiated from the protection software. The platform software is responsible for logging a maintenance
record in the event of an IED failure. This includes errors that have been detected by the platform software itself or
errors that are detected by either the system services or the protection software function. See the Monitoring and
Control chapter for further details on record logging.
4.3 INTERFACES
The settings and measurements database must be accessible from all of the interfaces to allow read and modify
operations. The platform software presents the data in the appropriate format for each of the interfaces (LCD
display, keypad and all the communications interfaces).
P345-AD-EN-1 67
Chapter 4 - Software Design P345
68 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 4 - Software Design
The Fourier components are calculated using single-cycle Fourier algorithm. This Fourier algorithm always uses
the most recent 24 samples from the 2-cycle buffer.
Most protection algorithms use the fundamental component. In this case, the Fourier algorithm extracts the power
frequency fundamental component from the signal to produce its magnitude and phase angle. This can be
represented in either polar format or rectangular format, depending on the functions and algorithms using it.
The Fourier function acts as a filter, with zero gain at DC and unity gain at the fundamental, but with good
harmonic rejection for all harmonic frequencies up to the nyquist frequency. Frequencies beyond this nyquist
frequency are known as alias frequencies, which are introduced when the sampling frequency becomes less than
twice the frequency component being sampled. However, the Alias frequencies are significantly attenuated by an
anti-aliasing filter (low pass filter), which acts on the analog signals before they are sampled. The ideal cut-off point
of an anti-aliasing low pass filter would be set at:
(samples per cycle) ´ (fundamental frequency)/2
At 24 samples per cycle, this would be nominally 600 Hz for a 50 Hz system, or 720 Hz for a 60 Hz system.
The following figure shows the nominal frequency response of the anti-alias filter and the Fourier filter for a 24-
sample single cycle fourier algorithm acting on the fundamental component:

1 CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Each product has different configuration parameters according to the functions it has been designed to perform.
There is, however, a common methodology used across the entire product series to set these parameters.
Some of the communications setup can only be carried out using the HMI, and cannot be carried out using
settings applications software. This chapter includes concise instructions of how to configure the device,
particularly with respect to the communications setup, as well as a description of the common methodology used
to configure the device in general.

You will have to confirm with the Enter button before you can go any further.
Note:
Whenever the IED has an uncleared alarm the default display is replaced by the text Alarms/ Faults present. You cannot
override this default display. However, you can enter the menu structure from the default display, even if the display shows
the Alarms/Faults present message.
Enter Password
1. A flashing cursor shows which character field of the password can be changed. Press the up or down cursor
keys to change each character (tip: pressing the up arrow once will return an upper case "A" as required by
the default level 3 password).
2. Use the left and right cursor keys to move between the character fields of the password.
3. Press the Enter key to confirm the password. If you enter an incorrect password, an invalid password
message is displayed then the display reverts to Enter password. On entering a valid password a message
appears indicating that the password is correct and which level of access has been unlocked. If this level is
sufficient to edit the selected setting, the display returns to the setting page to allow the edit to continue. If
the correct level of password has not been entered, the password prompt page appears again.
4. To escape from this prompt press the Clear key. Alternatively, enter the password using the Password
setting in the SYSTEM DATA column. If the keypad is inactive for 15 minutes, the password protection of the
front panel user interface reverts to the default access level.
To manually reset the password protection to the default level, select Password, then press the CLEAR key instead
of entering a password.
Note:
In the SECURITY CONFIG column, you can set the maximum number of attemps, the time window in which the failed attempts
are counted and the time duration for which the user is blocked.

5. When all alarms are cleared, the yellow alarm LED switches off. If the red LED was on, this will also be
switched off.
Note:
To speed up the procedure, you can enter the alarm viewer using the Read key and subsequently pressing the Clear key. This
goes straight to the fault record display. Press the Clear key again to move straight to the alarm reset prompt, then press the

The first three column headers are common throughout much of the product ranges. However the rows within
each of these column headers may differ according to the product type. Many of the column headers are the
same for all products within the series. However, there is no guarantee that the addresses will be the same for a
particular column header. Therefore you should always refer to the product settings documentation and not make
any assumptions.

8. Press the Enter key to confirm the new setting value or the Clear key to discard it. The new setting is
automatically discarded if it is not confirmed within 15 seconds.
9. For protection group settings and disturbance recorder settings, the changes must be confirmed before
they are used. When all required changes have been entered, return to the column heading level and press
the Down cursor key. Before returning to the default display, the following prompt appears.

The next cell down (Fn Key 1) allows you to activate or disable the first function key (1). The Lock setting allows a
function key to be locked. This allows function keys that are set to Toggled mode and their DDB signal active
‘high’, to be locked in their active state, preventing any further key presses from deactivating the associated
function. Locking a function key that is set to the Normal mode causes the associated DDB signals to be
permanently off. This safety feature prevents any inadvertent function key presses from activating or deactivating
critical functions.

The next cell down (Fn Key 1 Mode) allows you to set the function key to Normal or Toggled. In the Toggle mode
the function key DDB signal output stays in the set state until a reset command is given, by activating the function
key on the next key press. In the Normal mode, the function key DDB signal stays energised for as long as the

Subsequent cells allow you to carry out the same procedure as above for the other function keys.
The status of the function keys is stored in non-volatile memory. If the auxiliary supply is interrupted, the status of
all the function keys is restored. The IED only recognises a single function key press at a time and a minimum key
press duration of approximately 200 ms is required before the key press is recognised. This feature avoids
accidental double presses.

Chapter 5 - Configuration P345
IEC 61850 allows IEDs to be directly configured from a configuration file. The IED’s system configuration
capabilities are determined from an IED Capability Description file (ICD), supplied with the product. By using ICD
files from the products to be installed, you can design, configure and test (using simulation tools), a substation’s
entire protection scheme before the products are installed into the substation.
To help with this process, the settings application software provides an IEC 61850 Configurator tool, which allows
the pre-configured IEC 61850 configuration file to be imported and transferred to the IED. As well as this, you can
manually create configuration files for all products, based on their original IED capability description (ICD file).
Other features include:
● The extraction of configuration data for viewing and editing.
● A sophisticated error checking sequence to validate the configuration data before sending to the IED.
Note:
Some configuration data is available in the IEC61850 CONFIG. column, allowing read-only access to basic configuration data.
Any new configuration sent to the IED is automatically stored in the inactive configuration bank, therefore not
immediately affecting the current configuration.
Following an upgrade, the IEC 61850 Configurator tool can be used to transmit a command, which authorises
activation of the new configuration contained in the inactive configuration bank. This is done by switching the
active and inactive configuration banks. The capability of switching the configuration banks is also available using
the IEC61850 CONFIG. column of the HMI.
The SCL Name and Revision attributes of both configuration banks are available in the IEC61850 CONFIG. column
of the HMI.

reads Valid Master.
4. Check that Act. Time Source cell reads PTP. This indicates that the IED is using PTP as the source for its
time. Note that If IRIG-B or SNTP have been selected as the Primary Source, these must first be
disconnected before the device can switch to PTP as the active source.
5. Once the IED is using PTP as the active time source, adjust the time offset of the universal coordinated time
on the Master Clock equipment, so that local time is displayed.

6 PHASE ROTATION
The product provides a facility to maintain correct operation of all the protection functions even when the system
is running in a reverse phase sequence. This is achieved by the Phase Sequence setting in the SYSTEM CONFIG
column, and is available for all four setting groups.
You can configure the Phase Sequence setting to Standard ABC or Reverse ABC. This setting does not
perform any internal phase swapping of the analog channels.
The Phase Sequence setting affects the sequence component calculation as follows (In this example, the positive
and negative sequence currents are shown. The same principle applies to voltages):

The first condition would require VTS to block the voltage-dependent functions.
In the second condition, voltage dependent functions should not be blocked, as tripping is required.
To differentiate between these two conditions overcurrent level detectors are used (VTS I> Inhibit and VTS I2>
Inhibit). These prevent a VTS block from being issued in case of a genuine fault. These elements should be set in
excess of any non-fault based currents on line energisation (load, line charging current, transformer inrush current
if applicable), but below the level of current produced by a close-up three-phase fault.
98 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 6 - Supervision
If the line is closed where a three-phase VT failure is present, the overcurrent detector will not operate and a VTS
block will be applied. Closing onto a three-phase fault will result in operation of the overcurrent detector and
prevent a VTS block being applied.

If the I2/I1 ratio is greater than the high set value, CTS I2/I1>2 at all ends, it is almost certainly a genuine fault
condition, thus the CTS will not operate. If this ratio is detected at one end only, one of the following conditions
may be present:
● A CT problem
● A single end fed fault condition
The positive sequence current I1 is used to confirm whether it is a CT problem or not. If I1 is greater than the
setting CTS I1 at all terminals, it must be a CT problem and CTS is allowed to operate. If this condition is detected at
only one end, the device assumes it is caused by either an inrush condition or a single-end fed internal fault. In this
case, CTS operation is blocked.
The CTS status setting under the CT SUPERVISION sub-heading can be set to either indication or
restraint. In indication mode, the CTS alarm time delay is automatically set to zero. If a CT failure is present, an
alarm would be issued without delay, but the differential protection would remain unrestricted. In restraint mode,
the differential protection is blocked for 20 ms after CT failure has been detected, after which the restraint region
of the bias characteristic increases according to the setting Is-CTS , which has been defined in the DIFF
PROTECTION column.

Chapter 6 - Supervision P345
The low impedance REF, derived earth fault (P341) and NPS overcurrent protections are internally blocked by the
CTS when a CT failure is detected in the CT used by each protection function.
The CTS monitors the positive and negative sequence currents of all CTs (2 to 5, depending on the model). A faulty
CT is determined if the following conditions are present at the same time:
● The positive sequence current in at least two current inputs exceeds the set release threshold I1 (CTS I1
setting under the SUPERVISON column). This also means that CTS can only operate if minimum load current
of the protected object is present.
● A high set ratio of negative to positive sequence current, CTS I2/I1>2, is exceeded at one end.
● At all other ends the ratio of negative to positive sequence current is less than a low set value, CTS I2/I1> 1,
or no significant current is present (positive sequence current is below the release threshold I1).
Only a single or double phase CT failure can be detected by this logic. The probability of symmetrical three-phase
CT failures is very low, therefore in practice this is not a significant problem.

facilities at the commissioning stage. If the latter method is adopted, it is important to take the measurements
during maximum system load conditions, to ensure that all single-phase loads are accounted for. A 20% setting
might be used.
If the following information is recorded by the relay during commissioning:
I full load = 500 A
I2 = 50 A
Therefore I2/I1 ratio is given by I2/I1 = 50/500 = 0.1
To allow for tolerances and load variations a setting of 20% of this value may be typical. Therefore set CTS I2/I1>1
= 20%.
Due to the sensitive settings suggested above, a long time delay is necessary to ensure a true CT failure. We
recommend using the default setting for this time time delay. After the CTS Time Delay expires (CTS Time Delay),
the CTS Fail Alarm is asserted.

When the CB is closed, supervision current passes through the opto-input, blocking diode and trip coil. When the
CB is open, supervision current flows through the opto-input and into the trip coil via the 52b auxiliary contact.
This means that Trip Coil supervision is provided when the CB is either closed or open, however Trip Path
supervision is only provided when the CB is closed. No supervision of the trip path is provided whilst the CB is open
(pre-closing supervision). Any fault in the trip path will only be detected on CB closing, after a 400 ms delay.

The DDO timer operates as soon as the opto-input is energised, but will take 400 ms to drop off/reset in the event
of a trip circuit failure. The 400 ms delay prevents a false alarm due to voltage dips caused by faults in other
circuits or during normal tripping operation when the opto-input is shorted by a self-reset trip contact. When the
timer is operated the NC (normally closed) output relay opens and the LED and user alarms are reset.

microprocessor technologies were introduced into protection, control, and monitoring devices which are now
ubiquitously known as Intelligent Electronic Devices for the substation (IEDs).
As standard, all products support rugged serial communications for SCADA and SAS applications. By option, any

3 SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The physical layer standards that are used for serial communications for SCADA purposes are:
● EIA(RS)485 (often abbreviated to RS485)
● K-Bus (a proprietary customization of RS485)
USB is used for local communication with the IED (for transferring settings and downloading firmware updates).
RS485 is similar to RS232 but for longer distances and it allows daisy-chaining and multi-dropping of IEDs.
K-Bus is a proprietary protocol quite similar to RS485, but it cannot be mixed on the same link as RS485. Unlike
RS485, K-Bus signals applied across two terminals are not polarised.
It is important to note that these are not data protocols. They only describe the physical characteristics required
for two devices to communicate with each other.
For a description of the K-Bus standard see K-Bus (on page114) and GE's K-Bus interface guide reference R6509.
A full description of the RS485 is available in the published standard.

Warning:
It is extremely important that the 120 Ω termination resistors are fitted. Otherwise
the bias voltage may be excessive and may damage the devices connected to the
bus.
3.3 K-BUS
K-Bus is a robust signalling method based on RS485 voltage levels. K-Bus incorporates message framing, based on
a 64 kbps synchronous HDLC protocol with FM0 modulation to increase speed and security.
The rear interface is used to provide a permanent connection for K-Bus, which allows multi-drop connection.
A K-Bus spur consists of up to 32 IEDs connected together in a multi-drop arrangement using twisted pair wiring.
The K-Bus twisted pair connection is non-polarised.
It is not possible to use a standard EIA(RS)232 to EIA(RS)485 converter to convert IEC 60870-5 FT1.2 frames to K-
Bus. A protocol converter, namely the KITZ101, KITZ102 or KITZ201, must be used for this purpose. Please consult
GE for information regarding the specification and supply of KITZ devices. The following figure demonstrates a
typical K-Bus connection.

Devices such as printers that have a single Ethernet port can be connected to either of the networks but will not
directly benefit from the PRP principles. Such devices are called Singly Attached Nodes (SAN). For devices with a
single Ethernet port that need to connect to both LANs, this can be achieved by employing Ethernet Redundancy
Boxes (sometimes abbreviated to RedBox). Devices with a single Ethernet port that connect to both LANs by
means of a RedBox are known as Virtual DAN (VDAN).
The figure below summarises DAN, SAN, VDAN, LAN, and RedBox connectivity.

In a DAN, both ports share the same MAC address so it does not affect the way devices talk to each other in an
Ethernet network (Address Resolution Protocol at layer 2). Every data frame is seen by both ports.
When a DAN sends a frame of data, the frame is duplicated on both ports and therefore on both LAN segments.
This provides a redundant path for the data frame if one of the segments fails. Under normal conditions, both LAN
segments are working and each port receives identical frames.

The RSTP implementation in this product is compatible with any devices that use RSTP.
RSTP can recover network faults quickly, but the fault recovery time depends on the number of devices on the
network and the network topology. A typical figure for the fault recovery time is 300ms. Therefore, RSTP cannot
achieve the “bumpless” redundancy that some other protocols can.

5.5 FAILOVER
Failover is a simple redundancy mechanism that is not tied to any protocol. It works by selecting a main port and a
switching time that can be as low as 2 seconds. When the main port link fails, the redundant port becomes
physically active. At no point are both ports physically active, which means it can be used on any redundant or
non-redundant network.
Note:
IP1 and IP2 are different but use the same subnet mask.
The REB IP address (IP2) must be configured through the Ethernet network.

are configured using the Redundant Ethernet Configurator software tool. If you are using a ZN008700X card only
this tool supports it. If using S1 Agile 1.4.2 or older you will need to use the PRP/HSR Configurator for PRP and/or

6 DATA PROTOCOLS
The products supports a wide range of protocols to make them applicable to many industries and applications.
The exact data protocols supported by a particular product depend on its chosen application, but the following
table gives a list of the data protocols that are typically available.
The relationship of these protocols to the lower level physical layer protocols are as follows:
IEC 60870-5-103
MODBUS

Courier Courier Courier Courier Courier
Data Link Layer EIA(RS)485 Ethernet EIA(RS)232 K-Bus USB
Physical Layer Copper or Optical Fibre USB Type B
6.1 COURIER
This section should provide sufficient detail to enable understanding of the Courier protocol at a level required by
most users. For situations where the level of information contained in this manual is insufficient, further
publications (R6511 and R6512) containing in-depth details about the protocol and its use, are available on
request.
Courier is an GE proprietary communication protocol. Courier uses a standard set of commands to access a
database of settings and data in the IED. This allows a master to communicate with a number of slave devices. The
application-specific elements are contained in the database rather than in the commands used to interrogate it,
meaning that the master station does not need to be preconfigured. Courier also provides a sequence of event
(SOE) and disturbance record extraction mechanism.
For either of the rear ports, both the IED address and baud rate can be selected using the front panel menu or by
the settings application software.
P345-AD-EN-1 131
Chapter 7 - Communications P345
With the exception of the Disturbance Recorder settings, changes made to the control and support settings are
implemented immediately and stored in non-volatile memory. Changes made to the Protection settings and the
Disturbance Recorder settings are stored in ‘scratchpad’ memory and are not immediately implemented. These
need to be committed by writing to the Save Changes cell in the CONFIGURATION column.
Method 1
This uses a combination of three commands to perform a settings change:
First, enter Setting mode: This checks that the cell is settable and returns the limits.
1. Preload Setting: This places a new value into the cell. This value is echoed to ensure that setting corruption
has not taken place. The validity of the setting is not checked by this action.
2. Execute Setting: This confirms the setting change. If the change is valid, a positive response is returned. If
the setting change fails, an error response is returned.
3. Abort Setting: This command can be used to abandon the setting change.
This is the most secure method. It is ideally suited to on-line editors because the setting limits are extracted before
the setting change is made. However, this method can be slow if many settings are being changed because three
commands are required for each change.
Method 2
The Set Value command can be used to change a setting directly. The response to this command is either a
positive confirm or an error code to indicate the nature of a failure. This command can be used to implement a
setting more rapidly than the previous method, however the limits are not extracted. This method is therefore most
suitable for off-line setting editors such as MiCOM S1 Agile, or for issuing preconfigured control commands.
132 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 7 - Communications
Event Types
The IED generates events under certain circumstances such as:
● Change of state of output contact
● Change of state of opto-input
● Protection element operation
● Alarm condition
● Setting change
● Password entered/timed-out
P345-AD-EN-1 133
Chapter 7 - Communications P345
The Menu Database contains tables of possible events, and shows how the contents of the above fields are
interpreted. Fault and Maintenance records return a Courier Type 3 event, which contains the above fields plus two
additional fields:
● Event extraction column
● Event number
These events contain additional information, which is extracted from the IED using column B4. Row 01 contains a
Select Record setting that allows the fault or maintenance record to be selected. This setting should be set to the
event number value returned in the record. The extended data can be extracted from the IED by uploading the text
and data from the column.
The PSL settings can be uploaded and downloaded to and from the IED using this mechanism. The settings
application software must be used to edit the settings. It also performs checks on the validity of the settings before
they are transferred to the IED.

The IED address and baud rate can be selected using the front panel menu or by the settings application software.
6.2.2 INITIALISATION
Whenever the device has been powered up, or if the communication parameters have been changed a reset
command is required to initialize the communications. The device will respond to either of the two reset
commands; Reset CU or Reset FCB (Communication Unit or Frame Count Bit). The difference between the two
commands is that the Reset CU command will clear any unsent messages in the transmit buffer, whereas the
Reset FCB command does not delete any messages.
The device will respond to the reset command with an identification message ASDU 5. The Cause of Transmission
(COT) of this response will be either Reset CU or Reset FCB depending on the nature of the reset command. The
content of ASDU 5 is described in the IEC 60870-5-103 section of the Menu Database, available from GE separately
if required.
In addition to the above identification message, it will also produce a power up event.
When the Config Mode cell is set to Std+UserConfig, the DDB masks become visible in the PROTOCOL CFG
column. These masks function in a similar way to the DDB masks in the RECORD CONTROL column. Editing these
masks controls the DDB signals that are enabled for communication of the equivalent IEC 60870-5-103 private
range signal, as listed in the IEC 60870-5-103 profile in the Menu Database.
P345-AD-EN-1 137
Chapter 7 - Communications P345
Within these masks, only individual DDBs that are equivalent to IEC 60870-5-103 private range signals are
editable. By default, all of the individual DDBs that are equivalent to IEC 60870-5-103 private range signals are set
to 0 (zero), that is disabled for communication. Setting any individual DDB to 1 (one), enables the equivalent IEC
60870-5-103 private range signal for communication.
Within these masks, individual DDBs that are either equivalent to IEC 60870-5-103 standard range signals, or do
not have any equivalent IEC 60870-5-103 private range signal, are not editable.
The IEC 60870-5-103 profile in the Menu Database contains a complete listing of all events produced by the
device.
From Software Version 91 onwards, the IEC 60870-5-103 private range signals can be individually selected for
spontaneous communication, by settting the Config Mode cell to Std+UserConfig, and configuring the DDB
masks as required.
6.2.8 COMMANDS
A list of the supported commands is contained in the Menu Database. The device will respond to other commands
with an ASDU 1, with a cause of transmission (COT) indicating ‘negative acknowledgement’.
Note:
IEC 60870-5-103 only supports up to 8 records.

returns a "Termination of general interrogation" message to the master station.
When the command blocking DDB signal is active high, either by energising an opto input or control input,
Command Blocking all remote commands will be ignored (i.e. CB Trip/Close, change setting group etc.). When in this mode the
device returns a "negative acknowledgement of command" message to the master station.
6.3 MODBUS
This section describes how the MODBUS standard is applied to the Px40 platform. It is not a description of the
standard itself. The level at which this section is written assumes that the reader is already familiar with the
MODBUS standard.
The MODBUS protocol is a master/slave protocol, defined and administered by the MODBUS Organization For
further information on MODBUS and the protocol specifications, please see the Modbus web site
(www.modbus.org).
The MODBUS interface uses ‘RTU’ mode communication rather than ‘ASCII’ mode as this provides more efficient
use of the communication bandwidth. This mode of communication is defined by the MODBUS standard.
The IED address and baud rate can be selected using the front panel menu or by the settings application software.
When using a serial interface, the data format is: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 parity bit with 1 stop bit, or 2 stop bits (a
total of 11 bits per character).

● 11: Fetch Communication Event Counter
● 12: Fetch Communication Event Log
● 16: Preset Multiple Registers 127 max
Note:
The "extended memory file" (6xxxx) is not supported.
Note:
MODBUS convention is to document register addresses as ordinal values whereas the actual protocol addresses are literal
values. The MiCOM relays begin their register addresses at zero. Therefore, the first register in a memory page is register
address zero. The second register is register address 1 and so on.
P345-AD-EN-1 141
Chapter 7 - Communications P345
Note:
The page number notation is not part of the address.
For each of the above registers a value of 0 represents the most recent stored record. The following registers can
be read to indicate the numbers of the various types of record stored.
● 30100: Number of stored records
● 30101: Number of stored fault records
● 30102: Number of stored maintenance records
Each fault or maintenance record logged causes an event record to be created. If this event record is selected, the
additional registers allowing the fault or maintenance record details will also become populated.

Protection events – like the relay and opto addresses this will map onto the
MODBUS address of the appropriate DDB status register depending on which bit
of the DDB the change occurred. These will range from 30727 to 30785.
For platform events, fault events and maintenance events the default is 0.
This register will contain the DDB ordinal for protection events or the bit number
Event Index 30111 1 for alarm events. The direction of the change will be indicated by the most
significant bit; 1 for 0 – 1 change and 0 for 1 – 0 change.
0 means that there is no additional data.
1 means fault record data can be read from 30113 to 30199 (number of registers
Additional Data Present 30112 1

2 means maintenance record data can be read from 30036 to 30039.
If a fault record or maintenance record is directly selected using the manual mechanism then the data can be read
from the register ranges specified above. The event record data in registers 30103 to 30111 will not be available.
It is possible using register 40401(G6 data type) to independently clear the stored relay event/fault and
maintenance records. This register also provides an option to reset the device indications, which has the same
effect on the relay as pressing the clear key within the alarm viewer using the HMI panel menu.

Key to table:
● m = milliseconds: 0 to 59,999
● I = minutes: 0 to 59
● H = hours: 0 to 23
● W = day of the week: 1 to 7 starting from Monday
● D = day of the month: 1 to 31
● M = month of the year: 1 to 12 starting from January
● Y = year of the century: 0 to 99
● R = reserved: 0
● SU = summertime: 0 = GMT, 1 = summertime
● IV = invalid: 0 = invalid value, 1 = valid value
Since the range of the data type is only 100 years, the century must be deduced. The century is calculated as the
one that will produce the nearest time value to the current date. For example: 30-12-99 is 30-12-1999 when
received in 1999 & 2000, but is 30-12-2099 when received in 2050. This technique allows 2 digit years to be
accurately converted to 4 digits in a ±50 year window around the current date.
The invalid bit has two applications:
● It can indicate that the date-time information is considered inaccurate, but is the best information available.
● It can indicate that the date-time information is not available.
The summertime bit is used to indicate that summertime (day light saving) is being used and, more importantly, to
resolve the alias and time discontinuity which occurs when summertime starts and ends. This is important for the
correct time correlation of time stamped records.
The day of the week field is optional and if not calculated will be set to zero.
The concept of time zone is not catered for by this data type and hence by the relay. It is up to the end user to
determine the time zone. Normal practice is to use UTC (universal co-ordinated time).

The IIN form an information element used to convey the internal states and diagnostic results of a device. This
information can be used by a receiving station to perform error recovery or other suitable functions. The IIN is a
two-octet field that follows the function code in all responses from the device. When a request cannot be
processed due to formatting errors or the requested data is not available, the IIN is always returned with the
appropriate bits set.
Bit Indication Description Supported
Octet 1
Set when a request is received with the destination address of the all stations
address (6553510). It is cleared after the next response (even if a response to a
0 All stations message received global request is required). Yes
This IIN is used to let the master station know that a "broadcast" message was
received by the relay.
Set when data that has been configured as Class 1 data is ready to be sent to
the master.
1 Class 1 data available Yes
The master station should request this class data from the relay when this bit
is set in a response.
Set when data that has been configured as Class 2 data is ready to be sent to
the master.
2 Class 2 data available Yes
The master station should request this class data from the relay when this bit
is set in a response.
Set when data that has been configured as Class 3 data is ready to be sent to
the master.
3 Class 3 data available Yes
The master station should request this class data from the relay when this bit
is set in a response.
The relay requires time synchronization from the master station (using the
Time and Date object).
4 Time-synchronization required Yes
This IIN is cleared once the time has been synchronized. It can also be cleared
by explicitly writing a 0 into this bit of the Internal Indication object.
Set when some or all of the relays digital output points (Object 10/12) are in the
Local state. That is, the relays control outputs are NOT accessible through the
5 Local DNP protocol. No
This IIN is clear when the relay is in the Remote state. That is, the relays control
outputs are fully accessible through the DNP protocol.
Set when an abnormal condition exists in the relay. This IIN is only used when
6 Device in trouble the state cannot be described by a combination of one or more of the other IIN No
bits.
Set when the device software application restarts. This IIN is cleared when the
7 Device restart master station explicitly writes a 0 into this bit of the Internal Indications Yes
object.
Octet 2
0 Function code not implemented The received function code is not implemented within the relay. Yes
The relay does not have the specified objects or there are no objects assigned
to the requested class.
1 Requested object(s) unknown Yes
This IIN should be used for debugging purposes and usually indicates a
mismatch in device profiles or configuration problems.
Parameters in the qualifier, range or data fields are not valid or out of range.
This is a 'catch-all' for application request formatting errors. It should only be
2 Out of range Yes
used for debugging purposes. This IIN usually indicates configuration
problems.
Event buffer(s), or other application buffers, have overflowed. The master
station should attempt to recover as much data as possible and indicate to the
3 Buffer overflow Yes
user that there may be lost data. The appropriate error recovery procedures
should be initiated by the user.

The standard adheres to the requirements laid out by the ISO OSI model and therefore provides complete vendor
interoperability and flexibility on the transmission types and protocols used. This includes mapping of data onto
Ethernet, which is becoming more and more widely used in substations, in favour of RS485. Using Ethernet in the
substation offers many advantages, most significantly including:
● Ethernet allows high-speed data rates (currently 100 Mbps, rather than tens of kbps or less used by most
serial protocols)
● Ethernet provides the possibility to have multiple clients
● Ethernet is an open standard in every-day use
● There is a wide range of Ethernet-compatible products that may be used to supplement the LAN installation
(hubs, bridges, switches)

The IEC 61850 compatible interface standard provides capability for the following:
● Read access to measurements
● Refresh of all measurements at a standard rate.
● Generation of non-buffered and buffered reports on change of status or measurement
● SNTP time synchronization over an Ethernet link. (This is used to synchronize the IED's internal real time
clock.
● GOOSE peer-to-peer communication
● Disturbance record extraction by IEC 61850 MMS file transfer. The record is extracted as an ASCII format

● BOOLEAN
● BSTR2
● INT16
● INT32
● INT8
● UINT16

Any new configuration sent to the IED is automatically stored in the inactive configuration bank, therefore not
immediately affecting the current configuration.
Following an upgrade, the IEC 61850 Configurator tool can be used to transmit a command, which authorises
activation of the new configuration contained in the inactive configuration bank. This is done by switching the
active and inactive configuration banks. The capability of switching the configuration banks is also available using
the IEC61850 CONFIG. column of the HMI.
The SCL Name and Revision attributes of both configuration banks are available in the IEC61850 CONFIG. column
of the HMI.
Edition 2 implementation requires use of version 3.8 of the IEC 61850 configurator, which is installed with version

In modern protection schemes it is necessary to synchronise the IED's real time clock so that events from different
devices can be time stamped and placed in chronological order. This is achieved in various ways depending on the
chosen options and communication protocols.
● Using the IRIG-B input (if fitted)
● Using the SNTP time protocol (for Ethernet IEC 61850 versions)
● Using IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
● By using the time synchronisation functionality inherent in the data protocols

The IRIG-B time code signal is a sequence of one second time frames. Each frame is split up into ten 100 mS slots
as follows:
● Time-slot 1: Seconds
● Time-slot 2: Minutes
176 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 7 - Communications
● Time-slot 3: Hours
● Time-slot 4: Days
● Time-slot 5 and 6: Control functions
● Time-slots 7 to 10: Straight binary time of day
The first four time-slots define the time in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal). Time-slots 5 and 6 are used for control
functions, which control deletion commands and allow different data groupings within the synchronisation strings.
Time-slots 7-10 define the time in SBS (Straight Binary Second of day).
8.2 SNTP
SNTP is used to synchronise the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data
networks, such as IP. SNTP can be used as the time synchronisation method for models using IEC 61850 over
Ethernet.
The device is synchronised by the main SNTP server. This is achieved by entering the IP address of the SNTP server
into the IED using the IEC 61850 Configurator software described in the settings application software manual. A
second server is also configured with a different IP address for backup purposes.
This function issues an alarm when there is a loss of time synchronisation on the SNTP server. This could be
because there is no response or no valid clock signal.
The HMI menu does not contain any configurable settings relating to SNTP, as the only way to configure it is using
the IEC 61850 Configurator. However it is possible to view some parameters in the COMMUNICATIONS column
under the sub-heading SNTP parameters. Here you can view the SNTP server addresses and the SNTP poll rate in
the cells SNTP Server 1, SNTP Server 2 and SNTP Poll rate respectively.
The SNTP time synchronisation status is displayed in the SNTP Status cell in the DATE AND TIME column.

Chapter 7 - Communications P345
In end-to-end mode, delays are only measured between each Grand Master and Slave. The advantage of this
mode is that the requirements for the switches on the network are lower; they do not need to independently
calculate delays. The main disadvantage is that more inaccuracy is introduced, because the method assumes that
forward and reverse delays are always the same, which may not always be correct.
When using end-to-end mode, the IED can be connected in a ring or line topology using RSTP or Self Healing
Protocol without any additional Transparent Clocks. But because the IED is a slave-only device, additional
inaccuracy is introduced. The additional error will be less than 1ms for a network of eight devices.

1 OVERVIEW
In the past, substation networks were traditionally isolated and the protocols and data formats used to transfer
information between devices were often proprietary.
For these reasons, the substation environment was very secure against cyber-attacks. The terms used for this
inherent type of security are:
● Security by isolation (if the substation network is not connected to the outside world, it cannot be accessed
from the outside world).
● Security by obscurity (if the formats and protocols are proprietary, it is very difficult to interpret them).
The increasing sophistication of protection schemes, coupled with the advancement of technology and the desire
for vendor interoperability, has resulted in standardisation of networks and data interchange within substations.
Today, devices within substations use standardised protocols for communication. Furthermore, substations can be
interconnected with open networks, such as the internet or corporate-wide networks, which use standardised
protocols for communication. This introduces a major security risk making the grid vulnerable to cyber-attacks,
which could in turn lead to major electrical outages.
Clearly, there is now a need to secure communication and equipment within substation environments. This
chapter describes the security measures that have been put in place for our range of Intelligent Electronic Devices
(IEDs).
Note:
Cyber-security compatible devices do not enforce NERC compliance, they merely facilitate it. It is the responsibility of the user
to ensure that compliance is adhered to as and when necessary.
P345-AD-EN-1 181
Chapter 8 - Cyber-Security P345
The threats to cyber-security may be unintentional (e.g. natural disasters, human error), or intentional (e.g. cyber-
attacks by hackers).
Good cyber-security can be achieved with a range of measures, such as closing down vulnerability loopholes,
implementing adequate security processes and procedures and providing technology to help achieve this.
Examples of vulnerabilities are:
● Indiscretions by personnel (users keep passwords on their computer)
● Bad practice (users do not change default passwords, or everyone uses the same password to access all
substation equipment)
● Bypassing of controls (users turn off security measures)
● Inadequate technology (substation is not firewalled)
To help tackle these issues, standards organisations have produced various standards. Compliance with these
standards significantly reduces the threats associated with lack of cyber-security.

● IED functions and features are assigned to different password levels. The assignment is fixed.
● The audit trail is recorded, listing events in the order in which they occur, held in a circular buffer.
● Records contain all defined fields from the standard and record all defined function event types where the
function is supported.
● No password defeat mechanism exists. Instead a secure recovery password scheme is implemented.
● Unused ports (physical and logical) may be disabled.

4 CYBER-SECURITY IMPLEMENTATION
General Electric IEDs have always been and will continue to be equipped with state-of-the-art security measures.
Due to the ever-evolving communication technology and new threats to security, this requirement is not static.
Hardware and software security measures are continuously being developed and implemented to mitigate the
associated threats and risks.
From Software Version 90 onwards, the MiCOM P40 Agile products provide enhanced security through the
following features:
● An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
client that is managed centrally, enables user attribution, provides accounting of all user activities, and uses
secure standards based on strong cryptography for authentication and credential protection. In other
words, this option uses a RADIUS.
● Server for user authentication. There is provision for both remote (RADIUS) and local (device) authentication.
● A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to the
device operations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on
the AAA server. That is, Administrator, Engineer, Operator, and Viewer roles are used.
● Security event reporting through both proprietary event logs and the Syslog protocol for supporting Security
Information Event Management (SIEM) systems for centralised cybersecurity monitoring.
● Encryption of passwords – stored within the IED, in network messages between the MiCOM S1 Agile
software and the IED, and in network messages between the RADIUS server and the IED (subject to the
RADIUS server configuration).
P345-AD-EN-1 187
Chapter 8 - Cyber-Security P345
5.1 ROLES
The P40 Agile products provide 4 specific roles to which individual user accounts can be configured:
● VIEWER (Level 0) Read some, Write minimal
● OPERATOR (Level 1) Read All, Write Few
● ENGINEER (Level 2) Read All, Write Some
● ADMINISTRATOR (Level 3) Read All, Write All
Only one role of one type is allowed to be logged in at a time. For example, one Operator can be logged in but not
a second Operator at the same time. This prevents subsets of settings from being changed at the same time.
Roles are mapped to Access Level definitions:
VIEWER - No password required - Read access to Security features, Model Number, Serial Number, S/W version,
Description, Plant reference, Security code (UI Only), Encryption key (UI Only), User Banner and security related cells.
This role will allow maximum concurrent access provided by P40. Viewer is the default role
OPERATOR – Operator password required - Read access to all data and settings. Write access to Primary/
Secondary selector, Operator password setting, Password reset cell and log extraction cells (record selector). This
role will not allow concurrent access.
ENGINEER – Engineer password required - Read access to all data and settings. Write access to Reset demands
and counters. This role will not allow concurrent access.
ADMINISTRATOR – Administrator password required - Read access to all data and settings. Write access to All
settings, PSL, IED Config, Security settings (port disabling etc). This role can enable the bypass mode and forcefully
logout any other role. This role will not allow concurrent access.
The IED defines the following roles with reference to the roles defined by IEC 62351-8.
P40 Roles IEC 62351- 8 Roles Access Level
VIEWER VIEWER Level 0
OPERATOR OPERATOR Level 1
ENGINEER ENGINEER Level 2
ADMINISTRATOR SECADM + SECAUD Level 3
By default, the IED is delivered with default factory roles account and passwords. These default passwords are
shown in the below table.
Role Default Password
ADMINISTRATOR ChangeMe1#
ENGINEER ChangeMe1#
OPERATOR ChangeMe1#
VIEWER NA
Note:
It is strongly recommended that the password for the Administrator be changed from the default. Changing the passwords
for the other roles is optional.
188 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 8 - Cyber-Security
'Firmware lock' is not supported by the P40 Agile IED. Firmware upgrade is not managed by the main software. The
process involves using a dedicated firmware loading software tool. There is no access or control to this process via
the main product firmware.
5.2 PERMISSIONS
Authentication and authorization are two different processes. An authenticated user cannot perform any action on
the IED unless a privilege has been explicit granted to him/her to do so. This is the concept of “least privileges”
access.
Privileges must be granted to users through roles. A role is a collection of privileges, and roles are granted to users.
Each user is associated to only one role. The privilege/role matrix is stored on the IED. This is known as Role-Based-
Access Control (RBAC).
On successful user authentication, the IED will load the user’s role list. If the user’s role changes, the user must
logout and log back in to exercise his/her privileges.

6 AUTHENTICATION
6.2 BYPASS
In Bypass Auth. mode, the IED does not provide security - any user can login. IED does not validate user and
password. The bypass security feature provides an easier access, with no authentication and encryption for
situations when this is considered safe. Only the Administrator can enable Bypass mode.
There are five modes for authentication bypass:
1. Disabled – no interfaces in Bypass Auth. mode (normal authentication is active)
2. Local & Remote
a. Front Panel;
b. Front Port
c. Rear Ports
d. Ethernet
P345-AD-EN-1 191

6.3 LOGIN
A user can only login through the following methods:
● Front Panel User Interface
● Using MiCOM S1 Agile, connected to either the Front Port, Rear Port 1 or 2, or NIC (Ethernet) interface.

If the keypad is inactive for configured UI inactivity timer, user logout message is displayed. And front panel user
interface reverts to the Viewer access level.
Currently in the P40, the inactivity timer for both front port and HMI is fixed to 15 minutes. Already, RP1
InactivTimer and RP2 InactivTimer settings control the inactivity timer for RP1 and RP2. There are two new
settings to support configurable inactivity timer for front port and front panel user interface:
● FP InactvTimer
● UI InactivTimer
Administrator, Operator and Engineer roles will accept only one session to the device at one time. Only Viewer
allows 4 concurrent sessions at one time.
Only one user session is allowed from all the access methods mentioned below:
● Front Panel Push buttons
● Front Port (serial) FP1
● Rear Port 1 (RP1)
● Rear Port 2 (RP2)
● Ethernet Port (NIC)

the access level to the viewer role Timeout)
The recommended settings for Attempts Limit is 3 and Lockout Period is 5 sec to discourage brute force
attacks. If the Lockout period is too large, anybody can lockout Device users.
Each user account records how long it has been locked if the account is locked.
Each user account records how many times it has consecutively failed to login. User account failed times include
all interfaces login attempts. For example, if the Attempts Limit setting is 3 and the operator failed to login from
front panel 2 times, and they changed to login from the Courier interface, but failed again, then the Operator
would be locked out.
When the IED is powered on, these Attempts Limit counter resets to zero.
When the user account exceeds the Attempts Limit it is locked for Lockout period, at that time Attempt limit
resets to zero.
The locked user account will be unlocked automatically, after the configured “Lockout Period” is expired.
194 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 8 - Cyber-Security
All user accounts need to wait until the lockout period expires. No user can unlock the locked account.
If the locked account attempts to login the IED from the Front Panel, the following text is displayed (example):
OPERATOR
IS LOCKED
Usernames are specific to each user account, such as Engineer, Operator and Administrator for Device
authentication.
When supporting both RBAC enabled interfaces and non-RBAC interfaces (such as Modbus), the P40 handles
features such as user-locking feature as follows
● If an RBAC user exceeds the invalid password limit, that user gets locked for all the interfaces.
● On a non-RBAC interface, if an Access Level exceeds the invalid password limit, P40 only blocks that.
6.6 LOGOUT
Each user should Log out after reading or configuring the IED.
Both S1 Agile and the Front Panel provide a one-step logout.
The user can only log out from the front panel, if they logged in from the front panel. If the user logged in from S1
Agile, they have to logout from S1 Agile.
ENTER TO LOGOUT

6.10 RADIUS
When the Auth. Method setting is configured as Server Only or Server + Device, a user must log in with a
username and password that has been predefined on the Radius server.
This log in can be performed from any interface, as described in the Login section. The IED will authenticate the
user to the active RADIUS server, over the Ethernet connection.

The username must consist of uppercase letters (A to Z) and digits (0 to 9) only. No lowercase letters or special
characters are allowed.
Each RADIUS user must have a password that meets the password policy of the Active Directory (not the password
policy of the P40) and have one of the four roles assigned in the Active Directory.
The number of RADIUS users is not limited by the IED.
RADIUS password changes are done in the Active Directory (after password expiration).
The RADIUS implementation queries the Role ID vendor attribute and establish the logged in user security context
with that role.

verify it.
6.11 RECOVERY
198 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 8 - Cyber-Security
Note:
Restoring defaults to all settings includes the rear communication port settings, which may result in communication via the
rear port being disrupted if the new (default) settings do not match those of the master station.
Data (events, DR, fault records, protection counters etc) is left untouched. When decommissioning critical cyber
IEDs, users may want to clear all data and events as well.
This reset procedure can be only accomplished through front panel exclusively and cannot be done over any other
interface. As soon as the security code is displayed on the front panel User Interface, a validity timer is started. This
validity timer is set to 72 hours and is not configurable. This provides enough time for the Contact Centre to
manually generate and send a recovery password. The Service Level Agreement (SLA) for recovery password
generation is one working day, so 72 hours is sufficient time, even allowing for closure of the Contact Centre over
weekends and bank holidays.
The procedure is:
The security code is displayed on confirmation. The validity timer is then started. The security code can only be
read from the front panel.
This reset procedure can be only accomplished through front panel exclusively and cannot be done over the
Ethernet/serial port, but only when physically present in front of the IED. In the event of losing all passwords (if the
Administrator forgets their password) the user could reset the IED to default passwords, following the procedure
below:
1. User navigates to Security Code cell in SECURITY CONFIG column
2. To prevent accidental reading of the IED Security Code, the cell will initially display a warning message:

P345 Chapter 9 - Installation
Caution:
Do not use conventional self-tapping screws, because they have larger heads and could
damage the faceplate.
Alternatively, you can use tapped holes if the panel has a minimum thickness of 2.5 mm.
For applications where the product needs to be semi-projection or projection mounted, a range of collars are
available.
If several products are mounted in a single cut-out in the panel, mechanically group them horizontally or vertically
into rigid assemblies before mounting in the panel.
Caution:
Do not fasten products with pop rivets because this makes them difficult to remove if
repair becomes necessary.
Caution:
Risk of damage to the front cover molding. Do not use conventional self-tapping
screws, including those supplied for mounting MiDOS products because they have
slightly larger heads.
Once the tier is complete, the frames are fastened into the racks using mounting angles at each end of the tier.
P345-AD-EN-1 211
Chapter 9 - Installation P345
Products can be mechanically grouped into single tier (4U) or multi-tier arrangements using the rack frame. This
enables schemes using products from different product ranges to be pre-wired together before mounting.
Use blanking plates to fill any empty spaces. The spaces may be used for installing future products or because the
total size is less than 80TE on any tier. Blanking plates can also be used to mount ancillary components. The part
numbers are as follows:

MiCOM products are supplied with sufficient M4 screws for making connections to the rear mounted terminal
blocks using ring terminals, with a recommended maximum of two ring terminals per terminal.
If required, M4 90° crimp ring terminals can be supplied in three different sizes depending on wire size. Each type is
available in bags of 100.

Note:
IP2x shields and side cover panels may be fitted to provide IP20 ingress protection for MiCOM terminal blocks. The shields and
covers can be attached during installation or retrofitted to upgrade existing installations. The shields are supplied with four
language fitting instructions, publication number: IP2x-TM-4L-n (where n is the current issue number). For more information,
contact your local sales office or our worldwide Contact Centre.
Caution:
Protect the auxiliary power supply wiring with a maximum 16 A high rupture capacity
(HRC) type NIT or TIA fuse.
Use a wire size of at least 2.5 mm2 terminated with a ring terminal.
Due to the physical limitations of the ring terminal, the maximum wire size you can use is 6.0 mm2 using ring
terminals that are not pre-insulated. If using pre insulated ring terminals, the maximum wire size is reduced to 2.63
mm2 per ring terminal. If you need a greater cross-sectional area, use two wires in parallel, each terminated in a
separate ring terminal.
The wire should have a minimum voltage rating of 300 V RMS.
Note:
To prevent any possibility of electrolytic action between brass or copper ground conductors and the rear panel of the product,
precautions should be taken to isolate them from one another. This could be achieved in several ways, including placing a
nickel-plated or insulating washer between the conductor and the product case, or using tinned ring terminals.
Due to the physical limitations of the ring terminal, the maximum wire size you can use is 6.0 mm2 using ring
terminals that are not pre-insulated. If using pre insulated ring terminals, the maximum wire size is reduced to 2.63
mm2 per ring terminal. If you need a greater cross-sectional area, use two wires in parallel, each terminated in a
separate ring terminal.
The wire should have a minimum voltage rating of 300 V RMS.
Caution:
Current transformer circuits must never be fused.

P345 Chapter 9 - Installation
The following extract may be useful in defining cable recommendations for the RTDs:
Noise pick up by cables can be categorized into three types:
● Resistive
● Capacitive
● Inductive
Resistive coupling requires an electrical connection to the noise source. Assuming the wire and cable insulation are
in good condition and the junctions are clean, this can be dismissed. Capacitive coupling requires sufficient
capacitance to the noise source. This is a function of the dielectric strength between the signal cable on the noise
source and the power of the noise source. Inductive coupling occurs when the signal cable is adjacent to a wire
carrying the noise or it is exposed to a radiated EMF.
Standard screened cable is normally used to protect against capacitively-coupled noise. However for this to be
effective, the screen should only be bonded to the system ground at one point. Otherwise a current could flow and
the noise would be coupled into the signal wires of the cable. There are different types of screening available, but
the most commonly used are aluminium foil wrap, or tin-copper braid. Foil screens are good for low to medium
frequencies and braid is good for high frequencies. High-fidelity screen cables provide both types.
Protection against inductive coupling requires careful cable routing and magnetic shielding. The latter can be
achieved with steel-armoured cable and steel cable trays. The cable armour must be grounded at both ends so
the EMF of the induced current cancels the field of the noise source and shields the cables conductors from it.
However, the system ground must be designed such that it does not bridge two isolated ground systems. This
could be hazardous and defeat the objectives of the original grounding design. The cable should be laid in the
cable trays as close as possible to the metal of the tray. Under no circumstance should any power cable be in or
near to the tray. Power cables should only cross the signal cables at 90 degrees and never be adjacent to them.
P345-AD-EN-1 217
Chapter 9 - Installation P345
Both the capacitive and inductive screens must be contiguous from the RTD probes to the IED terminals. The best
types of cable are those provided by the RTD manufacturers. These are usually three conductors, known as a triad,
which are screened with foil. Such triad cables are available in armoured forms as well as multi-triad armoured
forms.

2 GENERAL GUIDELINES
GE IEDs are self-checking devices and will raise an alarm in the unlikely event of a failure. This is why the
commissioning tests are less extensive than those for non-numeric electronic devices or electro-mechanical
relays.
To commission the devices, you (the commissioning engineer) do not need to test every function. You need only
verify that the hardware is functioning correctly and that the application-specific software settings have been
applied. You can check the settings by extracting them using the settings application software, or by means of the
front panel interface (HMI panel).
The menu language is user-selectable, so you can change it for commissioning purposes if required.
Note:
Remember to restore the language setting to the customer’s preferred language on completion.
Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the equipment you should be familiar with the
contents of the Safety Section or Safety Guide SFTY/4LM as well as the ratings on the
equipment’s rating label.
Warning:
With the exception of the CT shorting contacts check, do not disassemble the device
during commissioning.
226 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
Note:
When the Test Mode cell is set to Contacts Blocked, the relay output status indicates which contacts would operate if
the IED was in-service. It does not show the actual status of the output relays, as they are blocked.
Caution:
When the cell is in Test Mode, the Scheme Logic still drives the output relays, which
could result in tripping of circuit breakers. To avoid this, set the Test Mode cell to
Contacts Blocked.
Note:
Test mode and Contacts Blocked mode can also be selected by energising an opto-input mapped to the Test Mode
signal, and the Contact Block signal respectively.
P345-AD-EN-1 227
Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
Note:
When the Test Mode cell is set to Contacts Blocked the Relay O/P Status cell does not show the current status of the
output relays and therefore cannot be used to confirm operation of the output relays. Therefore it will be necessary to monitor
the state of each contact in turn.
Note:
When the status in both Red LED Status and Green LED Status cells is ‘1’, this indicates the LEDs illumination is yellow.
228 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
Caution:
The monitor/download port is not electrically isolated against induced voltages on
the communications channel. It should therefore only be used for local
communications.

Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
4 COMMISSIONING EQUIPMENT
Specialist test equipment is required to commission this product. We recognise three classes of equipment for
commissioning :
● Recommended
● Essential
● Advisory
Recommended equipment constitutes equipment that is both necessary, and sufficient, to verify correct
performance of the principal protection functions.
Essential equipment represents the minimum necessary to check that the product includes the basic expected
protection functions and that they operate within limits.
Advisory equipment represents equipment that is needed to verify satisfactory operation of features that may be
unused, or supplementary, or which may, for example, be integral to a distributed control/automation scheme.
Operation of such features may, perhaps, be more appropriately verified as part of a customer defined
commissioning requirement, or as part of a system-level commissioning regime.

Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
5 PRODUCT CHECKS
These product checks are designed to ensure that the device has not been physically damaged prior to
commissioning, is functioning correctly and that all input quantity measurements are within the stated tolerances.
If the application-specific settings have been applied to the IED prior to commissioning, you should make a copy of
the settings. This will allow you to restore them at a later date if necessary. This can be done by:
● Obtaining a setting file from the customer.
● Extracting the settings from the IED itself, using a portable PC with appropriate setting software.
If the customer has changed the password that prevents unauthorised changes to some of the settings, either the
revised password should be provided, or the original password restored before testing.
Note:
If the password has been lost, a recovery password can be obtained from GE.
Warning:
The following group of tests should be carried out without the auxiliary supply being
applied to the IED and, if applicable, with the trip circuit isolated.
The current and voltage transformer connections must be isolated from the IED for these checks. If a P991 test
block is provided, the required isolation can be achieved by inserting test plug type P992. This open circuits all
wiring routed through the test block.
Before inserting the test plug, you should check the scheme diagram to ensure that this will not cause damage or
a safety hazard (the test block may, for example, be associated with protection current transformer circuits). The
sockets in the test plug, which correspond to the current transformer secondary windings, must be linked before
the test plug is inserted into the test block.
Warning:
Never open-circuit the secondary circuit of a current transformer since the high
voltage produced may be lethal and could damage insulation.
If a test block is not provided, the voltage transformer supply to the IED should be isolated by means of the panel
links or connecting blocks. The line current transformers should be short-circuited and disconnected from the IED
terminals. Where means of isolating the auxiliary supply and trip circuit (for example isolation links, fuses and MCB)
are provided, these should be used. If this is not possible, the wiring to these circuits must be disconnected and the
exposed ends suitably terminated to prevent them from being a safety hazard.
232 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
Warning:
Check the rating information under the top access cover on the front of the IED.
Warning:
Check that the IED being tested is correct for the line or circuit.
Warning:
Record the circuit reference and system details.
Warning:
Check the CT secondary current rating and record the CT tap which is in use.
Carefully examine the IED to see that no physical damage has occurred since installation.
Ensure that the case earthing connections (bottom left-hand corner at the rear of the IED case) are used to
connect the IED to a local earth bar using an adequate conductor.
Note:
Use a magnetic bladed screwdriver to minimise the risk of the screws being left in the terminal block or lost.
Pull the terminal block away from the rear of the case and check with a continuity tester that all the shorting
switches being used are closed.
5.1.3 INSULATION
Insulation resistance tests are only necessary during commissioning if explicitly requested.
Isolate all wiring from the earth and test the insulation with an electronic or brushless insulation tester at a DC
voltage not exceeding 500 V. Terminals of the same circuits should be temporarily connected together.
The insulation resistance should be greater than 100 MW at 500 V.
On completion of the insulation resistance tests, ensure all external wiring is correctly reconnected to the IED.
Caution:
Check that the external wiring is correct according to the relevant IED and scheme
diagrams. Ensure that phasing/phase rotation appears to be as expected.
P345-AD-EN-1 233
Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
Note:
The IED can withstand an AC ripple of up to 12% of the upper rated voltage on the DC auxiliary supply.
Warning:
Do not energise the IED or interface unit using the battery charger with the battery
disconnected as this can irreparably damage the power supply circuitry.
Caution:
Energise the IED only if the auxiliary supply is within the specified operating ranges.
If a test block is provided, it may be necessary to link across the front of the test plug
to connect the auxiliary supply to the IED.
Warning:
The current and voltage transformer connections must remain isolated from the IED
for these checks. The trip circuit should also remain isolated to prevent accidental
operation of the associated circuit breaker.
The following group of tests verifies that the IED hardware and software is functioning correctly and should be
carried out with the supply applied to the IED.
234 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
Caution:
Before applying a contrast setting, make sure that it will not make the display so
light or dark such that menu text becomes unreadable. It is possible to restore the
visibility of a display by downloading a setting file, with the LCD Contrast set within
the typical range of 7 - 11.
Note:
If the auxiliary supply fails, the time and date will be maintained by the supercapacitor. Therefore, when the auxiliary supply is
restored, you should not have to set the time and date again. To test this, remove the IRIG-B signal, and then remove the
auxiliary supply. Leave the device de-energised for approximately 30 seconds. On re energisation, the time should be correct.
When using IRIG-B to maintain the clock, the IED must first be connected to the satellite clock equipment (usually a
P594/RT430), which should be energised and functioning.
1. Set the IRIG-B Sync cell in the DATE AND TIME column to Enabled.
2. Ensure the IED is receiving the IRIG-B signal by checking that cell IRIG-B Status reads Active.
3. Once the IRIG-B signal is active, adjust the time offset of the universal co coordinated time (satellite clock
time) on the satellite clock equipment so that local time is displayed.
4. Check that the time, date and month are correct in the Date/Time cell. The IRIG-B signal does not contain
the current year so it will need to be set manually in this cell.
5. Reconnect the IRIG-B signal.
If the time and date is not being maintained by an IRIG-B signal, ensure that the IRIG-B Sync cell in the DATE AND
TIME column is set to Disabled.
1. Set the date and time to the correct local time and date using Date/Time cell or using the serial protocol.

If any of these LEDs are ON then they should be reset before proceeding with further testing. If the LEDs
successfully reset (the LED goes off), no testing is needed for that LED because it is obviously operational.
236 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
Please refer to the wiring diagrams for details of the terminal connections.
1. You should connect a 100 ohm resistor across each RTD in turn. The resistor needs to have a very small
tolerance (0.1%). You must connect the RTD common return terminal to the correct RTD input, otherwise the
device will report an RTD error.
2. Check that the corresponding temperature displayed in the MEASUREMENTS 3 column of the menu is 0°C
+/-2°C. This range takes into account the 0.1% resistor tolerance and device accuracy of +/-1°C. If a resistor
of lower accuracy is used during testing, the acceptable setting range needs to be increased.
P345-AD-EN-1 237
Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
For K-Bus applications, pins 17 and 18 are not polarity sensitive and it does not matter which way round the wires
are connected. EIA(RS)485 is polarity sensitive, so you must ensure the wires are connected the correct way round
(pin 18 is positive, pin 17 is negative).
If K-Bus is being used, a Kitz protocol converter (KITZ101, KITZ102 OR KITZ201) will have been installed to convert
the K-Bus signals into RS232. Likewise, if RS485 is being used, an RS485-RS232 converter will have been installed.
In the case where a protocol converter is being used, a laptop PC running appropriate software (such as MiCOM S1
Agile) can be connected to the incoming side of the protocol converter. An example for K-bus to RS232 conversion
is shown below. RS485 to RS232 would follow the same principle, only using a RS485-RS232 converter. Most
modern laptops have USB ports, so it is likely you will also require a RS232 to USB converter too.

Fibre Connection
Some models have an optional fibre optic communications port fitted (on a separate communications board). The
communications port to be used is selected by setting the Physical Link cell in the COMMUNICATIONS column, the
values being Copper or K-Bus for the RS485/K-bus port and Fibre Optic for the fibre optic port.
P345-AD-EN-1 239
Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
Note:
If a PC connected to the IED using the rear communications port is being used to display the measured current, the process
will be similar. However, the setting of the Remote Values cell in the MEASURE’T SETUP column will determine whether the
displayed values are in primary or secondary Amperes.
The measurement accuracy of the IED is +/- 1%. However, an additional allowance must be made for the accuracy
of the test equipment being used.

6 SETTING CHECKS
The setting checks ensure that all of the application-specific settings (both the IED’s function and programmable
scheme logic settings) have been correctly applied.
Note:
If applicable, the trip circuit should remain isolated during these checks to prevent accidental operation of the associated
circuit breaker.
Note:
The device name may not already exist in the system shown in System Explorer. In this case, perform a Quick Connect to the
IED, then manually add the settings file to the device name in the system. Refer to the Settings Application Software help for
details of how to do this.
242 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
8. Press the Enter key to confirm the new setting value or the Clear key to discard it. The new setting is
automatically discarded if it is not confirmed within 15 seconds.
9. For protection group settings and disturbance recorder settings, the changes must be confirmed before
they are used. When all required changes have been entered, return to the column heading level and press
the down cursor key. Before returning to the default display, the following prompt appears.
Update settings?
ENTER or CLEAR
10. Press the Enter key to accept the new settings or press the Clear key to discard the new settings.
Note:
If the menu time-out occurs before the setting changes have been confirmed, the setting values are also discarded.
Control and support settings are updated immediately after they are entered, without the Update settings prompt.
It is not possible to change the PSL using the IED’s front panel HMI.
Caution:
Where the installation needs application-specific PSL, the relevant .psl files, must be
transferred to the IED, for each and every setting group that will be used. If you do
not do this, the factory default PSL will still be resident. This may have severe
operational and safety consequences.
Note:
To see the complete set of protection tests in the Setting Checks section refer to manual P34x/EN M/Ia8, software version 38
& 72.
P345-AD-EN-1 243
Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
The following table summarises the IED behaviour under the different modes:
IED Test Mode Setting Result
Disabled ● Normal IED behaviour
● Protection remains enabled
● Output from the device is still active
Test ● IEC 61850 message output has the 'quality' parameter set to 'test'
● The device only responds to IEC61850 MMS messages from the client with the
'test' flag set
● Protection remains enabled
● Output from the device is disabled
Contacts Blocked ● IEC 61850 message output has quality set to ‘test’
● The device only responds to IEC 61850 MMS messages from the client with the
'test' flag set
Setting the Test or Contacts Blocked mode puts the whole IED into test mode. The IEC 61850 data object Beh in all
Logical Nodes (except LPHD and any protection Logical Nodes that have Beh = 5 (off) due to the function being
disabled) will be set to 3 (test) or 4 (test/blocked) as applicable.

8 ONLOAD CHECKS
Warning:
Onload checks are potentially very dangerous and may only be carried out by
qualified and authorised personnel.
Onload checks can only be carried out if there are no restrictions preventing the energisation of the plant, and the
other devices in the group have already been commissioned.
Remove all test leads and temporary shorting links, then replace any external wiring that has been removed to
allow testing.
Warning:
If any external wiring has been disconnected for the commissioning process, replace
it in accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
P345-AD-EN-1 249
Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions P345
If the Local Values cell is set to Secondary, the values displayed should be equal to the applied secondary
voltage. The values should be within 1% of the applied secondary voltages. However, an additional allowance must
be made for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
If the Local Values cell is set to Primary, the values displayed should be equal to the applied secondary voltage
multiplied the corresponding voltage transformer ratio set in the CT & VT RATIOS column. The values should be
within 1% of the expected values, plus an additional allowance for the accuracy of the test equipment being used.
250 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 10 - Commissioning Instructions
9 FINAL CHECKS
1. Remove all test leads and temporary shorting leads.
2. If you have had to disconnect any of the external wiring in order to perform the wiring verification tests,
replace all wiring, fuses and links in accordance with the relevant external connection or scheme diagram.
3. The settings applied should be carefully checked against the required application-specific settings to ensure
that they are correct, and have not been mistakenly altered during testing.
4. Ensure that all protection elements required have been set to Enabled in the CONFIGURATION column.
5. Ensure that the IED has been restored to service by checking that the Test Mode cell in the COMMISSION
TESTS column is set to Disabled.
6. If the IED is in a new installation or the circuit breaker has just been maintained, the circuit breaker
maintenance and current counters should be zero. These counters can be reset using the Reset All Values
cell. If the required access level is not active, the device will prompt for a password to be entered so that the
setting change can be made.
7. If the menu language has been changed to allow accurate testing it should be restored to the customer’s
preferred language.
8. If a P991/MMLG test block is installed, remove the P992/MMLB test plug and replace the cover so that the
protection is put into service.
9. Ensure that all event records, fault records, disturbance records, alarms and LEDs and communications
statistics have been reset.
Note:
Remember to restore the language setting to the customer’s preferred language on completion.

1 CHAPTER OVERVIEW
The Maintenance and Troubleshooting chapter provides details of how to maintain and troubleshoot products
based on the Px4x and P40Agile platforms. Always follow the warning signs in this chapter. Failure to do so may
result injury or defective equipment.
Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the equipment you should be familiar with the
contents of the Safety Section or the Safety Guide SFTY/4LM and the ratings on the
equipment’s rating label.
The troubleshooting part of the chapter allows an error condition on the IED to be identified so that appropriate
corrective action can be taken.
If the device develops a fault, it is usually possible to identify which module needs replacing. It is not possible to
perform an on-site repair to a faulty module.
If you return a faulty unit or module to the manufacturer or one of their approved service centres, you should
include a completed copy of the Repair or Modification Return Authorization (RMA) form.
This chapter contains the following sections:

2 MAINTENANCE
Although some functionality checks can be performed from a remote location, these are predominantly restricted
to checking that the unit is measuring the applied currents and voltages accurately, and checking the circuit
breaker maintenance counters. For this reason, maintenance checks should also be performed locally at the
substation.
Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the equipment you should be familiar with the
contents of the Safety Section or the Safety Guide SFTY/4LM and the ratings on the
equipment’s rating label.
2.1.1 ALARMS
First check the alarm status LED to see if any alarm conditions exist. If so, press the Read key repeatedly to step
through the alarms.
After dealing with any problems, clear the alarms. This will clear the relevant LEDs.
2.1.2 OPTO-ISOLATORS
Check the opto-inputs by repeating the commissioning test detailed in the Commissioning chapter.
256 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 11 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Caution:
Replacing PCBs requires the correct on-site environment (clean and dry) as well as
suitably trained personnel.
Caution:
If the repair is not performed by an approved service centre, the warranty will be
invalidated.
Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the equipment, you should be familiar with the
contents of the Safety Information section of this guide or the Safety Guide SFTY/4LM,
as well as the ratings on the equipment’s rating label. This should ensure that no
damage is caused by incorrect handling of the electronic components.
Warning:
Before working at the rear of the device, isolate all voltage and current supplying it.
Note:
The current transformer inputs are equipped with integral shorting switches which will close for safety reasons, when the
terminal block is removed.
P345-AD-EN-1 257
Chapter 11 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting P345
Caution:
If the top and bottom access covers have been removed, some more screws with
smaller diameter heads are made accessible. Do NOT remove these screws, as they
secure the front panel to the device.
Note:
There are four possible types of terminal block: RTD/CLIO input, heavy duty, medium duty, and MiDOS. The terminal blocks are
fastened to the rear panel with slotted or cross-head screws depending on the type of terminal block. Not all terminal block
types are present on all products.
Warning:
Before removing the front panel to replace a PCB, you must first remove the auxiliary
power supply and wait 5 seconds for the internal capacitors to discharge. You should
also isolate voltage and current transformer connections and trip circuit.
258 P345-AD-EN-1
P345 Chapter 11 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Caution:
Before removing the front panel, you should be familiar with the contents of the Safety
Information section of this guide or the Safety Guide SFTY/4LM, as well as the ratings
on the equipment’s rating label.
Caution:
Do not remove the screws with the larger diameter heads which are accessible when
the access covers are fitted and open. These screws hold the relay in its mounting
(panel or cubicle).
Caution:
The internal circuitry is now exposed and is not protected against electrostatic
discharge and dust ingress. Therefore ESD precautions and clean working conditions
must be maintained at all times.
Note:
To ensure compatibility, always replace a faulty PCB with one of an identical part number.
P345-AD-EN-1 259
Chapter 11 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting P345
Note:
After replacing the main processor board, all the settings required for the application need to be re-entered. This may be done
either manually or by downloading a settings file.

6. Fit the replacement PCB carefully into the correct slot. Make sure it is pushed fully back and that the
securing screws are refitted.
7. Reconnect all connections at the rear.
8. Refit the front panel.
9. Refit and close the access covers then press the hinge assistance T-pieces so they click back into the front
panel moulding.
10. Once the unit has been reassembled, commission it according to the Commissioning chapter.
Caution:
With non-mounted IEDs, the case needs to be held firmly while the module is
withdrawn. Withdraw the input module with care as it suddenly comes loose once the
friction of the terminal blocks is overcome.
Note:
If individual boards within the input module are replaced, recalibration will be necessary. We therefore recommend
replacement of the complete module to avoid on-site recalibration.
Caution:
Before removing the front panel, you should be familiar with the contents of the Safety
Information section of this guide or the Safety Guide SFTY/4LM, as well as the ratings
on the equipment’s rating label.

The power supply board is fastened to an output relay board with push fit nylon pillars. This doubled-up board is
secured on the extreme left hand side, looking from the front of the unit.
1. Remove front panel.
2. Pull the power supply module forward, away from the rear terminal blocks and out of the case. A
reasonable amount of force is needed due to the friction between the contacts of the terminal blocks.
3. Separate the boards by pulling them apart carefully. The power supply board is the one with two large
electrolytic capacitors.
4. Before reassembling the module, check that the number on the round label next to the front edge of the
PCB matches the slot number into which it will be fitted. If the slot number is missing or incorrect, write the
correct slot number on the label
5. Reassemble the module with a replacement PCB. Push the inter-board connectors firmly together. Fit the
four push fit nylon pillars securely in their respective holes in each PCB.
6. Slot the power supply module back into the housing. Push it fully back onto the rear terminal blocks.
7. Refit the front panel.
8. Refit and close the access covers then press the hinge assistance T-pieces so they click back into the front
panel moulding.
9. Once the unit has been reassembled, commission it according to the Commissioning chapter.
2.6 RECALIBRATION
Recalibration is not needed when a PCB is replaced, unless it is one of the boards in the input module. If any of the
boards in the input module is replaced, the unit must be recalibrated.
Although recalibration is needed when a board inside the input module is replaced, it is not needed if the input
module is replaced in its entirety.
Although it is possible to carry out recalibration on site, this requires special test equipment and software. We
therefore recommend that the work be carried out by the manufacturer, or entrusted to an approved service
centre.

The battery alarm will clear after approximately 30 minutes of IED being energised, and once cleared there will be
enough charge in the supercapacitor to backup status data.
Note:
Events, disturbance and maintenance records will be lost if the supercapacitor is fully discharged.
2.8 CLEANING
Warning:
Before cleaning the device, ensure that all AC and DC supplies and transformer
connections are isolated, to prevent any chance of an electric shock while cleaning.
Only clean the equipment with a lint-free cloth dampened with clean water. Do not use detergents, solvents or
abrasive cleaners as they may damage the product's surfaces and leave a conductive residue.

IED Test Mode 0F.0D Disabled
[Indexed String]
The IED Test Mode menu cell is used to allow online testing to be performed on the IED without operation of the trip contacts. It also enables a
facility to directly test the output contacts by applying menu controlled test signals.
This setting influences the processing of GOOSE and control service frames with an IEC61850 Test mode flag.
To select test mode the IED Test Mode menu cell should be set to ‘Test’, which takes the IED out of service. It also causes an alarm condition to
be recorded and the yellow ‘Out of Service’ LED to illuminate. In IEC 60870-5-103 builds changes the Cause of Transmission, COT, to Test Mode.
In IED Test Mode, only GOOSE messages and control service commands with a quality flat set to "test" will be processed as valid .
To enable testing of output contacts the IED Test Mode cell should be set to Contacts Blocked. This blocks the protection from operating the
contacts and enables the test pattern and contact test functions which can be used to manually operate the output contacts. This mode also
blocks maintenance, counters and freezes any information stored in the Circuit Breaker Condition column. Also in IEC 60870-5-103 builds
changes the Cause of Transmission, COT, to Test Mode. In Contacts Blocked Mode, only GOOSE messages and control service commands with a
quality flat set to "test" will be processed as valid.
Once testing is complete the cell must be set back to ‘Disabled’ to restore the IED back to service
The following IEC 61850 Mode definitions apply for the different settings:
0 = Disabled Mod = 1 (On)
1 = Test Mod = 3 (Test)
2 = Contacts Blocked Mod = 4 (Test/blocked)
Note: The cell ‘Test Mode’ used in software prior to IEC 61850 edition 2 has been renamed as ‘IED Test Mode’

When the ‘Apply Test’ command in this cell is issued the contacts set for operation (set to ‘1’) in the ‘Test Pattern’ cell change state. After the
test has been applied the command text on the LCD will change to ‘No Operation’ and the contacts will remain in the Test State until reset

IP From HMI 19.2F Disabled
[Indexed String]
When set to Enabled the IP Address, Subnet Mask & Gateway may be configured via the HMI. When set to Disabled these parameters may only
be set using the .MCL file.
This setting allows for an Ethernet connection to be established with the relay without needing to first send a .MCL file via the serial port. Once a
connection has been established the correct .MCL can be sent via Ethernet and this setting can be changed back to “Disabled”.
Note: You can enable this feature when you use the IED for the first time. However, the IED will at this point not have an active MCL file and any
data model extracted from IEC 61850 may not be correct. Therefore, to prevent any issues you should send a correct MCL file to the IED after a
connection is first established.

EAP-TTLS-MSCHAP2 - EAP Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) is an IETF open standard that uses the TLS protocol. Using TLS, a secure channel is
then established between Relay and Radius server.
The Microsoft version of Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol Version 2 (MS-CHAPv2) is a password based authentication method that
utilises the user account credentials (username and password) stored in Active Directory Domain Services to authenticate.
EAP-TTLS-MSCHAP2 represents the MSCHAPv2 method transferred over EAP-TTLS channel.
PAP - Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a password-based authentication protocol. PAP is considered a weak authentication scheme.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is a protocol that encapsulates the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) within an
encrypted and authenticated TLS tunnel.
PAP EAP-TTLS-PAP - represents the PAP protocol transferred over EAP-TTLS channel.
