1-1 GENERAL
The DGP system is a microprocessor-based digital
relay system that uses wave-form sampling of current
and voltage inputs to provide protection, control
and monitoring of generators. These samples are
used to compute current and voltage phasors that
are used for the protection-function algorithms.
The DGP system uses a man-machine interface
(MMI) and DGP-LINK software for local and remote
communication respectively.
This instruction book describes all the functions
available in various DGP models. Refer to Getting
Started section for Nomenclature Selection Guide
to determine functions included in a specific model.
1-2 APPLICATION
The DGP system is designed to be used on hydroe-
lectric, gas, and steam generating units. Any size of
generator can be protected with this digital system.
More detailed application considerations are con-
tained below in the remaining headings of this sec-
tion and in the CALCULATION OF SETTINGS sec-
tion.
1-3 PROTECTION
The following protection functions are available in
the DGP systems.
1. Stator Differential (87G)
2. Current Unbalance (46)
3. Loss of Excitation (40)
4. Anti-Motoring (32)
5. Time Overcurrent with Voltage Restraint (51V)
6. Stator Ground (64G1, 64G2, and 27TN)
7. Ground Overcurrent (51GN)
8. Over-excitation (24)
9. Overvoltage (59)
10. Undervoltage (27)
11. Over and Underfrequency (81)
12. Voltage Transformer Fuse Failure (VTFF)
13. Accidental Energization (AE)
Figures 1-1 through 1-5 show simplified logic dia-
grams of the above functions.
Stator differential (87G)
This function provides high-speed protection of the
generator stator during internal phase-to-phase, and
three-phase, faults. It uses a product-restraint algo-
rithm with dual-slope characteristic as shown in
Figures 2-2 through 2-5. Refer to Fig. 1-1 for the
logic diagram of this function.
Function 87G will not operate for turn-to-turn faults
in the machine windings.
It will also not operate for single-phase-to-ground
faults, if the system is ungrounded or high-
impedance grounded. Phase-to-ground protection
by this function requires that the neutral of the ma-
chine (or another machine operating in parallel) be
grounded. A small portion of the winding next to
the neutral will not be protected, the amount being
determined by the voltage necessary to cause mini-
mum pickup current to flow through the neutral-to-
ground impedance. Current-limiting devices in the
neutral-ground circuit increase this impedance and
will decrease the ground-fault-protection coverage of
this function.
Current unbalance (46)
There are several causes for unbalance in the gen-
erator. Some of these conditions are unbalanced
loads, unbalanced system faults and/or open cir-
cuits. The negative-sequence component (I
2
) of sta-
tor current is directly related to this unbalance and
sets up a counter-rotating flux field in the machine.
This in turn causes local heating in the rotor iron.
The capability of machines to withstand the heating
caused by unbalance currents is typically expressed
in terms of an I
2
2
T constant, and is supplied by the
manufacturer of the machine.
The current-unbalance trip function (46T) of the
DGP system provides operating-time characteristics
expressed as I
2
2
T=K, as shown in Figure 2-6. A linear
reset characteristic is incorporated, to approximate
the machine cooling following an intermittent cur-
rent-unbalance condition. In addition to 46T, the
DGP system also includes a current-unbalance alarm
function, 46A, which is operated by the negative-
sequence component (I
2
) with an adjustable pickup
and time delay. See Figure 1-2 for the logic dia-
gram.
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-4
Loss of excitation (40)
This function is used to detect loss of excitation on
synchronous machines. It includes two mho charac-
teristics, looking into the machine, each with ad-
justable reach, offset, and time delay. Logic is pro-
vided in the DGP system to block this function by
presence of a negative-sequence voltage (indicating
a voltage transformer fuse failure -VTFF condition)
and/or an external VTFF Digital Input DI6 (See
Figure 1-2).
Excitation can be lost due to inadvertent tripping of
the field breaker, open or short circuit on the field
winding, regulator failure, or loss of the source to
the field winding. Loss of excitation can be damag-
ing to the machine and/or detrimental to the op-
eration of the system. When a synchronous genera-
tor loses excitation, it will tend to act as an induc-
tion generator; it will run above normal speed, oper-
ate at reduced power and receive its excitation
(VARS) from the system. The impedance seen by a
relay looking into a generator will depend on the
machine characteristics, the load flow prior to the
loss of excitation, and the type of excitation failure.
Studies indicates that first zone mho function (40-1)
can be set to detect severe cases of excitation failure
with a shorter time delay, whereas the second zone
(40-2) can be set to detect all the excitation failure
cases. A longer time delay setting is required for the
40-2 function for security during stable power system
swing conditions. Figure 2-7 shows the characteris-
tics of this function.
Anti-motoring (32)
On a total or partial loss of prime mover, if the
power generated is less than no-load losses of the
machine, real power will start flowing into the gen-
erator. Typical motoring power of different kinds of
prime movers are shown in Table 1-1. For a specific
application, the minimum motoring power of the
generator should be obtained from the supplier of
the unit.
The DGP system includes a reverse power function
with adjustable time-delay. Either one or two (32-1
& 32-2) independent set points are incorporated
depending on the DGP model number.
Table 1-1: Typical Motoring Power
Type of
prime movers
Motoring Power
in percent of unit rating
Gas Turbine 10 - 100
Diesel 15 - 25
Hydraulic Turbine 2 - 100
Steam Turbine 0.5 - 4
The 32-1 can be configured as a part of sequential
tripping logic as shown in Figure 1-1. If the sequen-
tial trip logic is used, 32-1 is enabled when closing of
turbine inlet valves is indicated by digital input DI2
following a turbine trip. The trip sequence is then
continued when timer TL1 times out. The 32-2, if
included, is not dependent on the DI2 and is pri-
marily intended to provide backup to the sequential
trip. If the sequential trip is not enabled, the 32-1
can be used as anti motoring similar to 32-2.
Time overcurrent with voltage re-
straint (51V)
A system must be protected against prolonged gen-
erator contribution to a fault on the system. A time-
overcurrent function with voltage restraint (51V) is
incorporated in the DGP system, primarily to pro-
vide a part of the system backup protection. As
shown in the logic diagram Figure 1-2, this function
is supervised by a fault detector and VTFF. The
VTFF supervision can be by an internal and/or ex-
ternal (DI6) VTFF function. See Figures 2-8
through 2-11 for the characteristic curves of the
51V. Note that a separate algorithm is processed for
each phase, with the restraint provided by corre-
sponding phase voltage (see Table 2-2). The re-
straint is proportional to the magnitude of the volt-
age and is independent of the phase angle. A linear
reset characteristic is incorporated for this function.
Stator ground (64G, 27TN)
This function consists of two overlapping zones
(64G1 and 64G2/27TN) to detect stator ground
faults in a high-impedance-grounded generator sys-
tem. The 64G1 is standard in all DGP models, how-
ever, the 64G2/27TN are provided in some models
only. The two zones together cover 100% of the sta-
tor windings. See Figure 1-3 for the logic diagram.
Normally the generator-stator neutral has a poten-
tial close to ground. With the occurrence of a stator
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-5
ground fault, a potential increase will occur on the
neutral for all faults except those near the neutral.
64G1 uses a fundamental-frequency neutral over-
voltage to cover about 95% of the stator winding,
depending on the pickup voltage setting. Alter-
nately, the function 64G1 can be used as a genera-
tor-bus ground detector in a high-impedance
grounded or an ungrounded system. For this appli-
cation, the V
N
input must be a zero-sequence voltage
derived from the generator bus, and functions
64G2/27TN must be disabled.
64G2 is based on computation of the percentage of
third-harmonic voltage at the generator neutral
(V
N3
), compared to the total third harmonic voltage
generated. This function is designed to cover 15%
of the neutral end of the stator windings, and is su-
pervised by fundamental- and third-harmonic volt-
age thresholds. These thresholds are fixed at 30
and 0.5 volts respectively. The third harmonic
comparator method used for this function elimi-
nates need to know the generator harmonic charac-
teristic in order to use or set this function. Note that
wye-connected VT's are required for proper opera-
tion of 64G2.
27TN is third hamonic neutral undervoltage func-
tion with a forward power supervision and can be
used with either wye or delta connected vts. The
percentage of stator windings covered by this func-
tion will depend on threshold setting of the func-
tion as well as the V
N3
generated by the machine at
the time of the fault. Magnitude of the V
N3
voltage
under normal conditions is a function of several fac-
tors such as type of generator, load current, load
power factor, system status, etc. and can be very
small (nearly zero) under some combinations of the
conditions. To enhance the security during some of
the low V
N3
voltage conditions, the function can be
inhibited by a settable window of forward power. It
should be noted however that other conditions in-
fluencing the V
N3
voltage may make the function
27TN insecure. In these cases function 64G2 avail-
able in some DGP models (see DGP nomenclature
guide), or some other means should be considered.
Digital input DI1 can be configured to block
64G2/27TN when the generator is off-line. This
provision is made to enhance security of the func-
tions under conditions such as static start of the gas
turbine generator. Temporary ungrounding of
generator neutral during the static start can look
like a ground fault near the neutral.
Ground overcurrent (51GN)
51GN is an inverse overcurrent function available in
some DGP models and can be used to detect stator
ground faults in a high or low resistance grounded
generator system. See Figure 1-3 for simplified logic
diagram and Figure 2-16 for the inverse time-
current characteristics.
This function uses current I
NR
which can be derived
by residual connection or by using a generator neu-
tral CT as noted in Figures 1-6 and 1-7.
Since this function is independent of the phase cur-
rent inputs, it can alternately be connected to a CT
in the neutral of the generator step-up transformer.
Over-excitation (24)
Over-excitation can be caused by regulator failure,
load rejection, or an excessive excitation when the
generator is off line. It can also result from decreas-
ing speed while the regulator or an operator at-
tempts to maintain rated stator voltage. The quan-
tity Volts/Hertz is proportional to magnetic flux in
the generator and step-up transformer cores and is
used by the DGP system to detect the over-excitation
condition. See Figure 1-3 for the logic diagram.
The over-excitation protection includes trip (24T)
and alarm (24A) functions. 24T consists of an in-
verse function and an instantaneous function with
time-delay characteristics. The combination of
these two characteristics allows the 24T setting to
follow closely the generator and/or step-up trans-
former V/Hz limit curve. Both 24A and 24T are
computed for each of the three phase voltages (see
Table 2-3).
Function 24T can be configured to operate different
output relays for generator on-line and off-line con-
ditions. This function incorporates a user-settable
linear reset characteristic to mimic machine cool-
ing. Figures 2-12 through 2-14 show the characteris-
tics of this function.
Overvoltage (59)
This function consists of a positive-sequence over-
voltage with an user selectable inverse or definite
time characteristic. See Figure 1-1 for the logic dia-
gram and Figure 2-15 for the inverse time-voltage
characteristics. A linear reset characteristic is incor-
porated for this function. The overvoltage function
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-6
can be considered as a backup to the volts-per-hertz
function. Some possible causes of this condition are
a system disturbance or regulator failure.
Undervoltage (27)
This function consists of a positive-sequence under-
voltage with an user selectable inverse or definite
time characteristic. See Figure 1-1 for the logic dia-
gram and Figure 2-17 for the inverse time-voltage
characteristics. A linear reset characteristic is incor-
porated for this function.
Over- and underfrequency (81)
This function provides over- and under-frequency
protection, each with an adjustable time delay. Ei-
ther two or four over- and under-frequency steps are
provided depending on the DGP model used. All
frequency functions are supervised by an adjustable
positive-sequence voltage level. This undervoltage
cut-off level and/or digital input DI1 can be used to
block the frequency functions during the start-up.
The frequency disturbance can occur due to a sys-
tem fault or islanding of the unit. Also an uncon-
nected unit can operate at abnormal frequency due
to malfunction of speed control. Figure 1-4 shows
the logic diagram for this function.
Voltage Transformer Fuse Failure
(VTFF)
Functions 40 and 51V may operate for a full or par-
tial loss of AC potential caused by one or more
blown fuses. Provisions are made in the DGP system
to block tripping by these functions when a fuse
failure is detected. All other protection functions
are allowed to trip. Figure 1-5 shows the logic dia-
gram for the VTFF function.
If AC potential is lost on one or more phases, the
negative-sequence voltage (V2) would rise and/or
the positive-sequence voltage (V1) would drop. Ei-
ther V2>15V or V1<50V provides a basic indication
of the VTFF condition. This signal is supervised by
a Disturbance Detector (DD) and generator positive
sequence current (I1) detector (see three-input
AND gate). Supervision by the DD and I1 signals
provide security against false operation during fault
and generator out of service conditions respectively.
Security of the function is also further enhanced by
use of A/0 and B/0 timers shown in Figure 1-5.
Signal DD is derived from a combination of se-
quence current levels, change in levels, and pickup
flags of various protection functions as shown in
Figure 1-5.
The VTFF logic of the DGP system allows integra-
tion of an external VTFF contact. Either of the two
fuse-failure signals or both signals can be configured
to block tripping of functions 40 and 51V.
Detection of VTFF by the DGP system will energize
the 74FF (Fuse Failure alarm) relay, de-energize the
74CR (critical alarm) relay, and turn the status LED
to red, even though all protection functions except
40 and 51V are unaffected.
Accidental Energization (AE)
A logic is incorporated, as shown in Figure 1-1, to
detect accidental energization of the generator.
When a generator is energized while at standstill or
reduced speed, it will behave and accelerate as an
induction motor. The machine terminal voltage
and current during such an event will be a function
of generator, transformer, and system impedances.
An instantaneous overcurrent signal (50) is used in
the logic to detect the accidental energization. This
signal is armed by a logic signal derived from posi-
tive-sequence voltage and GEN OFF LINE input DI1.
These two "arming" signals can be configured either
in AND or OR mode, as selected by AE ARM setting.
The (50) function is armed 5 seconds after the gen-
erator is taken out of service. The logic will auto-
matically disarm itself during a normal start-up se-
quence when the voltage detector picks up and/or
the generator is on-line.
Special precautions must be taken to ensure that the
DGP system and associated trip circuits remain in
service when the generator is out of service, for this
logic to perform. Additionally, the generator off-
line input, DI1, connected to the DGP system must
be reliable. It should also be noted that the pickup
flag of function 51V is used as signal 50; therefore
this logic will automatically be disabled if function
51V is disabled.
1-4 OTHER FEATURES
Inputs
The DGP system takes eight current and four volt-
age inputs (Refer to Elementary Diagrams 1-6
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-7
through 1-9). The input currents in terminals BH1,
BH3, and BH5 (I
AS
, I
BS
, and I
CS
) are used to process
functions 46, 40, 32, and 51V. As noted in the ele-
mentary diagrams, these currents can be derived
from system side or neutral side CT's as desired. Ei-
ther the system or neutral side CT's can be used for
these functions if the Stator Differential (87G) func-
tion of the DGP is enabled.
The current inputs I
NS
and I
NR
are derived from the
residual connections of the respective phase CT's
and do not require dedicated neutral CT's. Zero
sequence current at system and/or neutral side of
the generator stator windings is calculated and then
compared with the measured I
NS
and/or I
NR
values by
the DGP as a part of background Self Test.

is used to process function 51GN if in-
cluded in the specific model used. In this case, a
dedicated neutral CT can be used for the input I
NR
if
desired.
The phase voltage inputs to the DGP system can ei-
ther be wye or delta, derived from the generator
terminal voltage. V
N
is derived from the generator
neutral grounding transformer.
A time synchronizing signal can be connected to the
DGP for synchronizing its clock to within 1 ms of a
reference clock. Either IRIG-B or GE's G-NET sys-
tem signal can be used depending on the DGP
model number. This input signal is required only if
it is desired to synchronize the DGP clock to an ex-
ternal clock.
There are six digital inputs that can be connected to
the DGP system. Two of these inputs (DI3 & DI4)
are assigned for possible routing of external
trip/alarm signals through the DGP system to take
advantage of the output configuration or sequence-
of-events capability. Generator off-line (DI1), tur-
bine inlet-valve-close indication (DI2) and external
VTFF (DI6) inputs are used for various relay logic
functions. Also a contact input, (DI5), can be used
to trigger optional oscillograph feature of the DGP
system. In some DGP models, the DI6 input can be
configured as external VTFF or Disable All Protec-
tion (refer to Figures 1-6 to 1-9 for detail).
All the digital input circuits are universally rated for
nominal control voltages of 48 to 250 VDC.
Output relays
There are eight user-configurable output relays in-
cluded in the DGP system. Four of these relays
(94G, 94G1, 94G2 & 94G3) are high speed (4 ms)
trip-duty rated, with two form A contacts each, and
the remaining four (74A, 74B, 74C & 74D) are
standard speed (8 ms) with one form C contact
each, intended for alarms. Each of the protection
functions can be configured to operate any number
of these output relays. The trip outputs are in-
tended for, but are not limited to, the following
purposes:
94G - trip a lockout relay to shut down the machine
94G1 - trip field breaker
94G2 - trip main generator breaker or breakers
94G3 - operate a lockout relay to trip turbine.
In addition to the configurable output relays, five
pre-defined alarm duty relays with a form C contact
each are also included in the DGP system. These
alarm relays include critical and non-critical self-test
alarms (74CR & 74NC), the VTFF alarm (74FF),
and loss of- power-supply alarms (PS1 & PS2). The
form C contact of each of the alarm relays, except
PS1 & PS2, are wired out to the terminal block. A
hard wire jumper is used to select either the form A
or the form B contact of each of the PS1 & PS2 re-
lays, as shown in Figure 3-6.
All alarm relays, with the exception of 74CR, PS1 &
PS2, are energized when the appropriate alarm
conditions exist. Relays 74CR, PS1 and PS2, how-
ever, are energized under normal conditions and
will drop out when the alarm conditions exist.
Also included are two additional relays (TEST
PICKUP & TEST TRIP) that can be configured to
operate by a selected protection-function pickup
flag, and trip output, respectively. These two out-
puts are intended to facilitate testing of the selected
protection function.
A Contact Expansion Unit DEC1000 is also available
which can be used with DGP***ACA. DEC1000
provides eleven additional output relays which can
be factory configured to user specifications. Refer to
product catalog GEZ-8188 or instruction book GEK-
105561 for additional detail.

Start-up self tests
The most comprehensive testing of the DGP system
is performed during a power-up. Since the DGP sys-
tem is not performing any protection activities at
that time, tests (such as RAM tests) that would be
disruptive to run-time processing may be performed
during the start-up. All processors of the DGP sys-
tem participate in the start-up self-test process. The
processors communicate their results to each other
so that any failures found can be reported to the
user, and so that each processor successfully com-
pletes its assigned self-tests before the DGP system
begins protection activity.
During power-up, each of the microprocessors per-
forms start-up self-tests on its associated hardware
(PROM, local RAM, shared RAM, interrupt control-
ler, timer chip, serial and parallel I/O ports, non-
volatile memory, analog and digital I/O circuitry,
MMI hardware, etc.). In addition, the DGP system
verifies that the PROM version numbers in all the
processor boards are compatible. The components
tested at start-up are listed in the Start-Up Self Tests
Table in the SERVICING section.
In most cases, if any critical self-test failure is de-
tected, the DGP system will not continue its start-up,
nor will it cause a reset. An attempt will be made to
store the DGP system status, to initialize the MMI
and remote communications hardware/software for
communicating status, and to print a diagnostic
message. The critical alarm relay will be de-
energized.
If no failures are detected, the DGP system com-
pletes initialization of its hardware and software.
Next, each processor board (DAP and SSP) will en-
able the outputs. As a final step, the DGP system
checks the results of all the tests, to determine
whether to turn the status lamp to green on the
front panel.
The start-up procedure will take approximately one
minute. As soon as the SSP successfully completes its
PROM test and initializes the display hardware, the
message "INITIALIZING" will appear on the display.
When all DGP system initialization is completed sat-
isfactorily, the display will be blanked and the DGP
system begins acquiring and processing data.
Run-time self tests
Each of the processors will have "idle time" when the
system is in a quiescent state; i.e., when the DGP sys-
tem is not performing fault or post-fault processing.
During this idle time, each processor will perform
"background" self-tests that are not disruptive to the
foreground processing. If any background self-test
fails, the test is repeated. To declare a component
"failed", the test must fail three consecutive times.
In the case of critical failures, the DGP system will
force a self reset to resume operation again after an
intermittent failure. The reset activities are identi-
cal to the start-up activities except that not all start-
up self-tests are performed.
A reset is not reported to the user by the DGP sys-
tem. If the reset is successful, no message is printed,
no failure status is recorded, and the critical alarm is
not generated; however, during the reset procedure,
the red LED on the MMI panel will light and a fail-
ure code may appear on the MMI display. If the re-
set is not successful, the processor board will be shut
down, leaving the MMI panel displaying the above
error information. Refer to the SERVICING section
of this manual for error codes. To prevent contin-
ual resets in the case of a solid failure, both hard-
ware and software will permit only four resets in a
one-hour period. On the fifth reset, the DGP system
will not perform initialization, but will attempt to
initialize MMI, communications, and the critical
alarm output, as in the case of a start-up with a criti-
cal self-test failure.
The components tested in the background are listed
in the Run-time Background Self Tests Table in the
SERVICING section. The testing of I/O hardware is
done in the foreground, so that the processors know
when a given component or port is in use and there-
fore not available for testing. The components
tested in the foreground are listed in the Run-time
Foreground Self Tests Table in the SERVICING sec-
tion. Some foreground tests are performed every
sample period, while others are performed less fre-
quently. As with background self-tests, any failed
test is repeated and must fail three consecutive times
to be considered a failure. Although not specifically
a "self" test, the trip-circuit continuity monitoring is
performed as a foreground test. Refer to the TRIP-
CIRCUIT MONITOR portion of this section.
In addition to background self-tests, the operator
may initiate a visual-response test of the MMI com-
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-9
ponents. Refer to the MMI ... Display Test in the
ACCEPTANCE TESTS section of this manual.
Adaptive sampling frequency
The DGP system samples analog input waveforms at
a rate of 12 per cycle. An adaptive sampling fre-
quency is used to maintain this rate over the power
system frequencies of 30.5 to 79.5 Hz. As a result of
this feature, the measurement accuracy of the ana-
log inputs and the sensitivities of the protection
functions are maintained over the range of power
system frequencies. This feature provides an im-
proved protection for faults during off-normal fre-
quencies, such as start-up condition. Figure 1-10
shows variations in sensitivity of protection func-
tions at different power system frequencies.
The sampling frequency is based on 30.5 Hz for the
power system frequencies below 30.5 Hz and is based
on 79.5 Hz for the frequencies above 79.5 Hz. In
either case, if the AC voltage to the DGP system
drops below approximately 20 V, the sampling fre-
quency is automatically based on nominal system
frequency (SYSFREQ setting).
The sampling frequency, which is 12 times the
measured system frequency, can be accessed as one
of the Present Values from the DGP system.
Trip-circuit monitor
The trip-circuit monitor consists of DC voltage and
current monitors (TVM and TCM respectively).
Each of the trip contacts shown with polarity marks
in Figures 1-6 to 1-9 is monitored. The TVM and
TCM can be selectively disabled for each of the trip
circuits.
Under normal conditions, DC voltage across each of
the contacts is continuously monitored. If the DC
voltage becomes virtually zero, then the trip circuit
has "failed open". The TVM is active only when the
generator is on-line, as indicated by the input DI1.
This function is intended to replace the indicating
light typically used for trip circuit monitoring, and
it is universally rated for 48 through 250 volts DC. A
non-critical alarm is generated when the TVM de-
tects an abnormality.
When the DGP system issues a trip, DC current
through each of the appropriate trip contacts is
monitored. The trip relay is sealed-in, as long as the
current is flowing, to protect the contact. A mini-
mum current of 150 milliamperes is required for the
TCM to recognize the trip current. Status of the trip
current flow, following issuance of any trip, is logged
in the sequence of events.
Sequence of events
This function time-tags and stores in memory the
last 100 events. The resolution of the time-tagging
is 1 millisecond. The event list contains power sys-
tem events, operator actions, and self-test alarms.
The sequence of events can be accessed, either lo-
cally or remotely, by a PC via one of the RS232 ports.
A full description of this function is contained in
the INTERFACE section.
Time synchronization
The DGP system includes a real time clock that can
run freely or be synchronized from an external sig-
nal. Two different external time-sync signals are
possible. If the DGP system is connected to the host
computer of a G-NET substation information and
control system, then the DGP system receives a time-
sync pulse via pin 25 of port PL-1. If the DGP system
is not connected to a G-NET host computer, then a
demodulated IRIG-B signal connected to optional
port PL-3 may be used to synchronize the clock. In
both cases, the clock in a given DGP system is syn-
chronized to within 1 millisecond of any other
digital relay clock, provided the two relays are wired
to the same synchronizing signal.
Fault report & oscillography data
A fault report is initiated in the DGP system by any
one of the protection-function pickup flags or an
optional external oscillograph trigger input, DI5.
For the fault report to be completed and stored, the
DGP system either has to issue a trip or the DI5 in-
put contact must close any time during the fault re-
port period. The fault report period begins when
the first protection function flag is up, or the DI5
input contact is closed. It ends either when the DGP
system issues a trip, or when the DGP system is done
capturing the selected number of post-fault wave-
form cycles, whichever is later. If all the pickup flags
reset without issuing a trip and the DI5 does not
close, the fault report initiated by the protection flag
will not be completed or stored.
The fault report includes unit ID, date and time,
system operating time, pre-fault metering values,
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-10
fault currents and voltages, trip/fault types, and up
to 14 sequence-of-event points logged after the fault
report was initiated. The system operating time
(OP TIME) is the time difference between the first
protection-function pickup flag and the first protec-
tion-function trip. The DGP system stores up to the
last three fault reports in its memory. A full descrip-
tion of the fault report is contained in the
INTERFACE section.
The DGP model with oscillography data capture
capability will store the waveform data in its memory
each time the DGP system stores a fault report. A
total of 120 cycles of data can be stored in the DGP
system. The 120-cycles memory is divided in 1, 2 or
3 partitions, based on the setting NUM FLTS
(#0111). The number of prefault cycles captured
per fault can be set up to 20 cycles. It should be
noted that the pre-fault cycles are based on the first
flag or DI5 to initiate the data capture.
Oscillography data includes station and generator
identification, a complete list of settings, the fault
report, internal flags, and a selected number of pre-
fault and post-fault waveform cycles. This data can
be graphically displayed (Figures 10-1 and 10-2) us-
ing an optional DGP-DATA software program. Fur-
ther description of this function is contained in the
SOFTWARE section.
Local Man-Machine Interface (MMI)
A local MMI, incorporating a keypad, light-emitting-
diode (LED) display, and 19 target LED's, is pro-
vided to allow the user to enter settings, display pre-
sent values, view fault target information, and access
stored data. The use and functioning of the MMI is
fully described in the INTERFACE section.
Local printer
An optional printer port (PL-2) on the rear of the
DGP system permits the use of a serial printer. The
port can also be used to connect the contact expan-
sion unit DEC1000 (DGP*ACA only) which pro-
vides eleven additional output relays. The sequence
of events (SOE) data are available at this port for
immediate printing as they occur. Additionally, for
DGP***AAA models, variety of information stored
in the DGP system's memory can also be printed
when requested via the local MMI, as described in
the INTERFACE section.
Remote communications
Two RS232 serial ports are provided to permit the
user to communicate with the DGP system from an
IBM PC-compatible computer. One of the ports, a
DB-25 (PL-1), is located on the rear of the case and
the other, a DB-9 (COMM), is located on the front
plate of the MMI module.
When communication via a PC is desired, the PC
may be connected via the proper null-modem cable,
provided the cable length does not exceed 50 feet,
or the PC may be connected via interposing mo-
dems when physically remote from the DGP system.
A DGP-LINK software is required to communicate
with the DGP system. The capabilities and use of
the software are described in the SOFTWARE sec-
tion. Refer to the INTERFACE section for details
regarding the required cables.
When connection to host computer of a station in-
tegration system is desired, two different physical
connections are possible. Standard hard-wire cables
may be used for distances up to 50 feet. For longer
distances it is possible to add an optional external
adapter that plugs into PL-1 to provide a fiber optic
link between the DGP system and the host com-
puter. An isolated 5 volt DC supply is internally
connected to pin 11 of PL-1 to power this external
adapter.
It is permissible to have cables and associated
equipment connected to each port simultaneously.
However, when one port is active the other is effec-
tively disabled. For instance, when PL-1 is con-
nected to host computer of an integration system, it
is not possible to log into the DGP from the front
port if the integration system is active. If PL-1 is
connected to a modem and the front port is con-
nected to a PC using a null-modem cable, then the
first port that becomes active is given preference,
and the other port is disabled until the first is re-
leased.
Remote control
By using the local MMI or a remote PC connected to
the RS232 port, it is possible to operate selectively
any of the four trip output relays for remote control.
The control action may include shutdown of the
machine, field breaker trip, main generator breaker
trip, turbine trip, etceteras, depending on the
equipment connected to the outputs. The controls
GEK-100666 Chapter 1 - Product Description
1-11
described above can be enabled or disabled by a
hard-wired jumper located on the MMI module, as
shown in Figure 3-5. As shipped from the factory,
this jumper is physically present and the Remote
Control is disabled. To enable the Control, the
jumper must be removed.
Password protection
Passwords provide security when using the local
man-machine interface (MMI) or during remote
communications while running the DGP-LINK pro-
gram. Two different passwords provide local MMI
security for 1) control operations (close trip-output
contacts) and 2) settings changes. Three different
passwords in the DGP-LINK program provide re-
mote communications security for 1) view and up-
load information, 2) control operations, and 3) set-
tings changes. Refer to the INTERFACE section for
a description of MMI password usage, and refer to
the SOFTWARE section for a description of DGP-
LINK password usage.

GEK-100666 Chapter 2 - Calculation of Settings
2-3
2-1 GENERAL
This section provides information to assist the user
in determining the required settings for the DGP
protection system. Some settings are based on the
size and type of generator and the type of system it is
connected to, while other settings are the same, re-
gardless of the machine and system. Still other set-
tings may be set based on user preference.
Those settings that are independent of the system
and machine size or type will be presented first, fol-
lowed by machine- and system-dependent settings.
At the end of this chapter are blank setting forms
(Table 2-5, 2-6, and 2-7), one for each family of the
DGP systems. Appropriate form for the DGP of in-
terest can be used to record model number, PROM
version number, and settings for specific application.
Table 2-1 lists all the settings and the corresponding
ranges and units. The column labeled DEFAULT in
Table 2-1 indicates the DGP system settings stored in
memory when shipped from the factory. The set-
tings described in the subsequent text are arranged
by category-of-settings which correspond to the cate-
gory headings displayed on the light-emitting diode
(LED) display of the local man-machine interface
(MMI). Individual settings or the category headings
are listed by the descriptive name followed by its
mnemonic. The mnemonic is what is displayed on
the local MMI to identify the particular setting or
category-of-setting heading. In the text, a category-
of-settings is identified by all capitals, i. e.,
CONFIGURATION: CONFIG.
In the following section a set of example settings will
be presented based on a typical generator system. By
no means will this presentation encompasses all pos-
sible setting scenarios or calculations. More impor-
tant is the demonstration of the setting method and
procedure to follow.
A sample generator system one line diagram is shown
in Figure 2-1; it will be used to demonstrate the ex-
ample settings for a DGP protection system.
2-2 CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Unit ID Number, UNITID
The UNITID is a decimal number between 0 and
9999 stored in non-volatile memory, which uniquely
identifies a DGP relay system. When the DGP system
is accessed via one of its serial port, the UNITID must
be known to establish communication, thus provid-
ing a measure of security. UNITID can only be
changed via the local MMI. It is not possible to
change UNITID via DGP-LINK communication soft-
ware.
System Frequency, SYSFREQ
SYSFREQ can be set to either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Select Trip Voltage Monitoring,
SEL TVM
One contact of each of the four trip-output relays can
be monitored for DC voltage by the DGP system.
The monitoring is enabled or disabled by setting the
SEL TVM to either 1 or 0 respectively. The four-digit
code of the SEL TVM setting applies to 94G, 94G1,
94G2, & 94G3, in that order. For example, a setting
of 1100 enables TVM for 94G & 94G1 and disables
for 94G2 & 94G3.
The monitoring of all unused contacts should be
disabled to avoid nuisance alarms.
Select Trip Current Monitoring,
SEL TCM
The four trip contacts described above for the SEL
TVM can also be monitored for DC current by the
DGP system when a trip signal is issued. The moni-
toring is enabled or disabled by setting the SEL TCM
to either 1 or 0 respectively. The four-digit code of
the SEL TCM setting applies to 94G, 94G1, 94G2, &
94G3, in that order. If the trip current through any
of the monitored contacts is not expected to be above
150 milliamperes, or if any of the trip circuit is not
interrupted externally, it should be disabled to avoid
nuisance sequence-of-event points, or seal-in of the
output relay.
For example, a setting of 1000 enables TCM for 94G
and disables for 94G1, 94G2 & 94G3.

Select Primary/Secondary Units,
SELPRIM
SELPRIM can be set to either 0 (PRIMARY) or 1
(SECNDRY), secondary. This setting determines
whether the PRESENT VALUES (currents, voltages,
watts, and vars) are displayed and stored as primary
or secondary values. All user-entered settings are
expressed in terms of secondary values, regardless of
whether SELPRIM is set to 0 or 1.
Current Transformer Ratio, CT RATIO
CT RATIO can be set over the range of 1 - 50000.
This setting applies to all current inputs with a pos-
sible exception of current I
NR.
If setting NCTRATIO
is provided, it applies to the current I
NR
. Refer to

described later.
For the sample generator system,
CT RATIO = 8000/5
= 1600
Voltage Transformer Ratio, VT RATIO
VT RATIO can be set over the range of 1.0 - 240.0.
For the sample generator system,

Communications Port, COMMPORT
COMMPORT sets the baud rate, parity, and stop
bits of the DGP system's RS232 serial port. The set-
ting format is xxyz, where:
Baud Rate = xx = 03, 12, 24, 48, 96
Parity = y = 0 (None), 1 (Odd), 2 (Even)
Stop Bits = z = 1, 2
The baud rate setting of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, or
9600 must be set to match the baud rate of the mo-
dem or serial device connected to the RS232 serial
ports of the DGP system. The parity and stop bits
must match those selected for the serial port of the
remote PC. Normally 1 stop bit is selected. How-
ever, certain modems or other communications
hardware might dictate using 2 stop bits. DGP-LINK
communications software can be configured to
match this DGP system setting for baud rate, parity,
and stop bits.
COMMPORT can only be changed via keypad of
the local MMI. It cannot be changed via DGP-LINK
communications software.
Phase Designation, PHASE
PHASE can be set to either A-B-C or A-C-B to match
the positive-sequence phase rotation for the genera-
tor system where the DGP system is installed. This
setting permits the DGP system to compute properly
and report the sequence-dependent quantities.
Time Synchronization Source,
TIMESYNC
TIMESYNC determines the method of synchroniz-
ing the DGP system's internal clock, and it can be set
to 0 (INTERNAL), 1 (optional, IRIG-B), or 2 (G-
NET). TIMESYNC=0 lets the clock run freely from
the internal oscillator. TIMESYNC=1 synchronizes
the clock using an IRIG-B signal connected directly
to the DGP relay via port PL-3. TIMESYNC=2 syn-
chronizes the clock using a signal on pin 25 of
RS232 port PL-1 when connected to a G-NET host
computer.
Number of Fault Events, NUM FLTS
NUM FLTS selects the maximum number of fault
reports and optional oscillography data that may be
stored in memory without overwriting, and can be
set to 1, 2, or 3. When the maximum number are
stored in memory, the fault report and the oscillo-
graphy data associated with a subsequent storage
event will overwrite the data from the oldest event.
This setting also apportions a fixed amount of
memory into different sized blocks for oscillography
storage. The following tabulation shows the total
number of oscillography cycles allowed per storage
event as a function of NUM FLTS.

CAUTION: To avoid loss of fault data stored in
the DGP system, upload and save the data before

Voltage Transformer Connection,
VT CONN
VT CONN may be set to 0 (WYE), or 1 (DELTA).
VT CONN must be set to identify the connections of
VT's that supply AC voltage to the DGP system.
Neutral Current Transf. Ratio,
NCTRATIO
NCTRATIO setting is available in all DGP models
except DGP***AAA and can be set over the range of
1 - 50000. This setting applies to current I

2-3 PROTECTION FUNCTION
SETTINGS
GENERAL
TRIP and ALARM Output Relays
There are eight user-configurable output relays in-
cluded in the DGP system. Four of these relays are
high speed intended for tripping and the other four
are standard speed intended for alarm. Each of the
protection functions described below includes two
four-digit codes, TRIP and ALARM, which config-
ure the function to operate any number of these re-
lays. An output relay is selected, or not-selected, by
setting a code to either 1, or 0, respectively. The
four-digit code of the TRIP setting applies to 94G,
94G1, 94G2, & 94G3 relays, in that order. Also the
four digit code of the ALARM setting applies to 74A,
74B, 74C, & 74D relays, in that order.
Any number of the protection functions can be dis-
abled by setting both the TRIP and ALARM codes
for the function or functions to 0000.
The configurable trip and alarm outputs can be
used to customize the DGP system in accordance
with a number of trip and alarm strategies of various
users.

3. The initial characteristic slope can be calcu-
lated using the formula:
% slope = 100 (K1 100)
Characteristics: Figures 2-2 through 2-5 show the
curves for selected values of K1 & PICKUP. The
curve for any combination of the K1 & PICKUP
settings can be derived using the above algo-
rithm.
This function should be set as sensitive as practical,
keeping adequate margin for CT errors under all
through-load and through-fault current conditions.
K1 and PICKUP setting of 2% and 0.3 ampere re-
spectively are recommended for most applications
where the system and neutral side CTs used are of
identical design. Higher settings must be consid-
ered if the CTs used are not of identical design or if
higher CT error margin is desired.
For the sample generator system,
set K1 = 2% and PICKUP = 0.3 ampere.
Current Unbalance Alarm (46A)
This function is intended to alarm prior to a 46T
trip, so that an operator can take corrective action.
The PICKUP setting should be a safe margin below
the generator's allowable continuous negative-
sequence current.

Loss of Excitation (40: 40-1, 40-2)

Characteristic and setting criteria: See Figure 2-7.


With settings per the criteria shown in Figure 2-7,
function 40-1 would detect the loss of excitation for
about 30% or higher load conditions. Function 40-2
would detect for all load conditions; however, some
stable power system swing conditions may momen-
tarily enter the 40-2 characteristic. For security of
the function under stable swing conditions, it is rec-
ommended to delay functions 40-1 and 40-2 by a
minimum of 0.06 and 0.5 seconds respectively.
SELV2SUP can be set to either 0 (DISABLE) or 1
(ENABLE). It is recommended to set this to func-
tion to ENABLE unless an external VTFF is used via
input DI6.

Anti-Motoring (Reverse Power)
32-1 and optional 32-2 REV PWR can be set over the
range of 0.5-99.9 Watts each.
Reverse power levels (REV PWR) of these functions
should be set at 30 to 70% (depending on power fac-
tor following the turbine trip) of motoring power of
the turbine-generator.
GEK-100666 Chapter 2 - Calculation of Settings
2-13
Timers associated with the anti-motoring are of in-
tegrating type to achieve high level of dependability
when the power is arrond the REV PWR setting, par-
ticularly at high power factor. Setting of three sec-
onds or less is suggested for timer TL1 associated
with the 32-1 if SQ TR EN (sequential trip enable) is
set to YES. If the SQ TR EN is set to NO, the TL1
setting should be identical to the TL2 setting as de-
scribed below.
Timer TL2, associated with 32-2, should be set to
override the power swings expected during normal
system operations. A setting of 10 to 60 seconds is
suggested.
SQ TR EN can be set to YES or NO, depending on
the generator tripping strategy used.

Characteristics: Figures 2-8 to 2-11 show the curves
for selected values of K & Voltage Restraint. The
curve for any combination of K and Restraint Volt-
age can be derived, using the above algorithm.
This function should be set to coordinate with the
power system protective relays used at the generat-
ing station. Also the PICKUP setting should be a
safe margin above the expected maximum load on
the machine. Refer to the Accidental Energization
(AE) section for additional considerations regard-
ing the 51V PICKUP setting.
For the sample generator system,
set PICKUP =1.75 X generator rated load current
=1.75 X 4.25

TIME FAC K should be selected to back up the re-
lays on transmission lines out of the generating sta-
tion. As the information about line relays is not
known, let us set the TIME FAC such that the oper-
ate time of 51V for a 3-phase fault on the high side
of the GSU is about 0.75 second. For simplicity,
power system contribution to the fault is not consid-
ered in the following calculations.

N1

PICKUP = 64G-1 pickup setting.
TL4 = timer TL4 setting.
PICKUP of 64G-1 should be set with a safe margin
above the highest voltage (fundamental frequency)
expected at the generator neutral under normal op-
erating conditions. Timer TL4 should be set with a
safe margin above the longest clearing time for
power system faults that are outside of the generator
protection zone.
For the sample generator system,
set PICKUP = 5.0 volts
set TL4 = 1 second or higher
Stator Ground Fault (64G-2)
Algorithm: 64G-2 operates when the following con-
dition is met:
( )

The only setting required for this optional function
is timer TL5 to provide a short delay for security of
the function.
For the sample generator system,

Algorithm: 27TN operates when the following con-
ditions are met (see Figure 1-10 for logic diagram):

TL20 = Timer TL20 setting.
The PICKUP should be set as sensitive as the V
N3
characteristic of the generator allows without loss of
security. A flexible window of power can be estab-
lished to enhance security of 27TN. For example,
let us assume that the available V
N3
is below 27TN
pickup for power outputs in the range of 50 to 80
watts. FORPWR-L and FORPWR-H settings which
provide the flexible window can be set at 47 and 85
watts (based on margin of about 5%) respectively to
inhibit the function between the limits. This func-
tion can also be blocked when the generator is off-
line, refer to setting #2501.
Overexcitation Alarm (Volts/Hertz: 24A)
This function is intended to alarm prior to a 24T
trip, so that an operator can take corrective action.
The PICKUP setting should be below the continu-
ous Volt/Hz rating of the generator or step-up trans-
former, whichever is lower. Timer TL6 should be
set to minimize the nuisance alarms.
For the sample generator system assume allowable
over V/Hz of 10%.
set PICKUP = 1 + (90% of 10%) per unit
= 1.09 per unit
set TL6 = 2 seconds.

3. Reset time: Linear reset with maximum time =

This function should be set with a safe margin be-
low the excitation capability of the generator or
step-up transformer, whichever is lower. The follow-
ing example is based on the traditional criteria of 45
seconds operating time at V/Hz from 1.1 to 1.18 per
unit; however, actual excitation capability curves
should be obtained for the generator and the trans-
former to take full advantage of the inverse charac-
teristic of this function. RESET time should be set
to match the cooling characteristic of the protected
equipment (if known). If the reset characteristic is
not available, setting in the range of 0 to 50 seconds
may be used.
For the sample generator system,
let us use CURVE #4 (definite time) and operat-
ing time of 45 seconds.

Undervoltage Cutoff of 81
UVCUTOFF can be set over the range of 35 to 99 %
of the nominal voltage (NOM VOLT). This setting
can be used to block the frequency functions from
operating during start-up conditions until near-
normal generator field is applied and set voltage is
generated.
Under Frequency (81-U)
There are either two or four under frequency func-
tions included in the DGP system depending on the
model. Each of the functions can be set (SET PNT)
over the range of 40.00 to 65.00 Hz, with a time de-
lay of 0.1 to 999.9 seconds for 81-1U and 0.05 to
99.99 seconds for the other(s). The actual settings
will depend on the protection and operating phi-
losophies of the individual user.
Over Frequency (81-O)
There are either two or four over frequency func-
tions included in the DGP system depending on the
model. Each of the functions can be set (SET PNT)
over the range of 45.00 to 79.99 Hz, with a time de-
lay of 0.05 to 99.99 seconds. The actual settings will
depend on the protection and operating philoso-
phies of the individual user.

Refer to Nomenclature Guide for available functions.
Note that, for DGP***ABA, some of the SELBKDI1
settings are functionally redundant; any one of such
settings can be used to obtain the specified func-
tionality.
An appropriate combination of functions 81, 32,
64G2, 27TN and VTFF should be blocked during
start-up (generator off-line) as required. For exam-
ple, to prevent nuisance operation, SELBKDI1 may
be set as follows:
* BLK #6 to block 81, 32 and VTFF for cross com-
pound machine.
* BLK #8 to block 81 if generator field is applied
at speed lower than the speed corresponding to
lowest 81U set point.
* BLK #9 to block all four functions for gas tur-
bine generator with static start.
The DI3 TRIP & ALARM and the DI4 TRIP &
ALARM settings can be used to operate any or all of
the Trip (94G-94G3) or Alarm (74A-74D) relays. If
the settings are selected, energizing the correspond-
ing digital input will cause the appropriate Trip and
Alarm relay to operate after time delay if applicable.
DI6 FUNC can be set to 0 (EXTVTFF) or 1
(DISPROT) to configure the DI6 input. If set to 0
(EXTVTFF), the DI6 is configured to receive an
external VTFF signal. If set to 1 (DISPROT), the
DI6 is configured to disable all protection functions
as long as the input signal is present. It should be
set to 0 (EXTVTFF) if the input DI6 is not used.
Voltage Transformer Fuse Failure
(VTFF)
VTFF can be set to either 0 (DISABLE) or 1
(ENABLE) as desired. It is recommended to set
VTFF=1 (ENABLE) if the external VTFF input
(DI6) is not used. If the external VTFF input is
used, the VTFF setting will depend on user prefer-
ence.
Accidental Energization (AE)
AE ARM can be set to either 0 (AND) or 1 (OR) as
desired. If it is set to 0 (AND), the logic will be
armed when the positive sequence voltage V1<30
volts AND the generator is off-line. If it is set to 1
(OR), the logic will be armed when the voltage
V1<30 volts OR the generator is off-line. The setting
GEK-100666 Chapter 2 - Calculation of Settings
2-17
of 0 (AND) is recommended. However, if both of
the following conditions apply, it must be set to 1
(OR) for effective arming of the logic.
1. The generator system includes a generator
disconnect device (breaker or switch), AND
2. The VT's are connected on the power system
side of the disconnect device.
As the pickup flag of function 51V is used for instan-
taneous overcurrent signal in the Accidental Ener-
gization logic (Figure 1-1), the following additional
criteria should be used in setting the 51V PICKUP.
The 51V PICKUP (setting # 1003) should be set
with a safe margin above I
LMAX
, where I
LMAX
is an ex-
pected maximum load current of the machine. If
AE ARM is set to 1 (OR) and simultaneous loss of all
three phase voltages is likely, the PICKUP should be
set with a safe margin above 3.33 X I
LMAX
.
Note that function AE will be effectively disabled if
function 51V is disabled by setting both TRIP and
ALARM codes (setting # 1001 & 1002) to 0000.
This is in addition to the normal way of disabling
function AE by setting its TRIP and ALARM codes
(setting # 2701 & 2702) to 0000.
For the sample generator system,
set AE ARM = 0 (AND)
Ground Overcurrent (51GN)
Algorithm:
( )
Operating Time T =
K
I /I 1
seconds
NR PU

K = time factor (TIME FAC).
I
NR
= Neutral current (fundamental frequency)
I
PU
= PICKUP current setting
Reset Time: Linear reset (1.4 sec. maximum)
Characteristics: Figures 2-16 show the curves for se-
lected values of K. The curve for any other value
of K can be derived using the above algorithm.
PICKUP of 51GN should be set with a safe margin
above the highest neutral current (fundamental
frequency) expected under normal operating condi-
tions. TIME FAC should be set to coordinate with
other protective devices for power system faults that
are outside of the generator protection zone.
For the sample generator system, Function 51GN is
not usable, due to the high resistance grounding
and high CT ratio for the function.
Set both TRIP and ALARM to 0000 each to dis-
able the function.
Undervoltage (27)
Algorithm:
( )
T1=
K
V /V 1
seconds
T2 = K seconds
PU 1

T1 = operating time for CURVE #1 (Fig. 2-17)
T2 = operating time for CURVE#2 (characteristic
of curve #2 is definite time providing the op-
erating time equal to K seconds if V
1
< V
PU
)
V
1
= positive-sequence voltage (phase-phase).
V
PU
= undervoltage function threshold (PICKUP).
Reset Time: Linear reset (1.4 seconds maximum)
The algorithm is NOT processed if input DI1
(Generator off-line) is present.
Characteristics: Figure 2-17 shows the curve #1 for
selected values of K. The curve for any other K set-
ting can be derived using the above algorithm.
This optional function can be used to isolate the
generator from the utility system for an undervolt-
age condition. CURVE #, PICKUP, and TIME FAC
should be set to override voltage dips caused by
normal power system faults.
For the sample generator system, 27 can be set:
CURVE# = 2 (Definite Time)
PICKUP = 102V (<90% of NOM VOLT of 114.3V)
TIME FAC = 1.0 second

CAUTION
Power down the relay by removing one of the con-
nection plugs or turn both power switches to OFF
before removng or inserting modules. Failure to do
so can permanently damage the relay.
3-1 CASE ASSEMBLY
Construction
The case that houses the electronic modules is con-
structed from an aluminum alloy. It consists of a
main frame with side mounting brackets, a front
cover and a rear cover.
The front cover, comprised of a metal frame with
plate glass, is pivoted on the top and is opened from
the bottom by way of two spring-loaded latches. The
door is constrained from coming off by tabs that re-
quire the door to be unlatched and lifted slightly in
order to be removed. A pushbutton extender in-
stalled into the plate glass makes it possible to clear
the display without removing the front cover.
The rear cover supports terminal blocks that are used
in making external connections to the case. The
modules are mounted vertically inside the case, and
they are supported by sockets on the mother board
within the case. In addition to providing this me-
chanical support, the sockets also offer the means of
making the electrical connection to the modules.
The modules are further restrained inside the case
by the front cover.
Proper alignment of the module with respect to the
socket is maintained by slotted guides, one guide
above and one guide beneath each module, with the
exception of the magnetics module, MGM and MMI
modules, which require two guides above and two
beneath.
Electrical Connections and Internal
Wiring
As mentioned earlier, electrical connections are
made to the case through eight terminal blocks
mounted on the rear cover plate. Each block con-
tains 14 terminal points, which consist of a Number 6
screw threaded into a flat contact plate. Each termi-
nal is rated for a maximum of two connections. Ex-
ceeding this will violate UL specifications for two
wires per terminal.
Connection to the MGM module is made by means
of two connector sockets; an 8-contact current block
and a 104-pin signal block. The current block con-
tacts are rated to handle current transformer (CT)
secondary currents, and they are shorted upon re-
moval of the MGM module.
Identification
The DGP system model number label is located on
the outside of the front cover, and on the right-hand
sidesheet inside the case. A marking strip indicating
the name and position of every module in a case is
included on the front center of the case. It is placed
to be read when the front cover is removed. Figure 4-
1 in the MODULES section shows the location of the
modules.
The terminal blocks located on the rear cover plate
are uniquely identified by a two-letter code that is
found directly beneath the outermost edge of each
terminal block. Also, the terminal points (1 through
14) are identified by stamped numbers.
Connector PL1 is used for serial communication be-
tween the DGP system and the PC/Modem. Connec-
tor PL2 is used to output sequence of events (SOE) to
a serial printer or a DEC100 for additional auxiliary
contacts output. PL3 is used for IRIG-B signal input
to the DGP systems. Note that on some models, the
PL2 and PL3 connectors are not active due to the
absence of those options - see the Model Selection
guide for details.
3-2 CIRCUIT BOARD MODULES
CAUTION
This relay contains electronic components that could
be damaged by electrostatic discharge currents if
those currents flow through certain terminals of the
components. The main source of electrostatic dis-
charge currents is the human body, and the condi-
tions of low humidity, carpeted floors and isolating
shoes are conducive to the generation of electro-
static discharge currents. Where these conditions
exist, care should be exercised when removing and
handling the modules to make settings on the inter-
nal switches. The persons handling the modules
should make sure that their body charge has been
discharged, by touching some surface at ground po-
tential before touching any of the components on
the modules.
GEK-100666 Chapter 3 - Hardware Description
3-3
Basic Construction
Each module consists of a printed-circuit board and
front panel. Two knobs are provided on the front
panel for removing and inserting the module. Elec-
trical connection is made by the 96 pins of the Euro-
card connector located at the back of the board.
Identification
Each module has its own identification number,
consisting of a three-letter code followed by a three-
digit number. These are found at the bottom of
each front panel.
3-3 XTM TEST PLUGS
Description
The XTM test plugs are designed specifically for
post-installation testing of the DGP system. As many
as four plugs can be used at one time; two XTM28L1
(left-hand plugs) and two XTM28R1 (right-hand
plugs), each providing access to fourteen relay-side
and fourteen system-side points. The system-side
points are designated "S" and the relay-side points
are designated "R". The plugs are keyed by the con-
tact finger arrangement so that there may be no ac-
cidental interchange between the left-hand and
right-hand plugs.
The plugs are fitted with a sliding handle that swings
out to facilitate wiring to the terminals. The termi-
nals consist of number 8 screws threaded into flat
contact plates. The handles each have a tab on the
outside edge to guide the wire dress of the test leads.
NOTE
Not all external connections to the DGP system are
wired through the test receptacle.
Terminal Designation
The test receptacle and connection plugs are located
on the lower unit to the extreme left and right-hand
positions. The left hand plugs are labeled as TP1
with terminals 1 through 28. The right hand plugs
are labeled TP2 with terminals 1 through 28. These
points are designated on the elementary diagrams as
TP1-1 (See Figures 1-6 and 1-7 in the PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION section.
The left-hand test plug (XTM28L1) terminals are
labeled 1R through 14R and 1S through 14S for the
relay side and system side, respectively, with the sys-
tem side labeled in red. Similarly, the right-hand test
plug (XTM28R1) terminals are labeled 15R through
28R and 15S through 28S.
XTM Test-Circuit Connections
Test-circuit connections, designated as TP points in
the elementary diagrams, should be made to the re-
lay side of the test plug. Where it is desired to use
available system quantities for testing, e.g., DC con-
trol power, jumpers may be inserted between the cor-
responding system-side and relay-side test plug ter-
minals. Appropriate precautions should be taken
when working with station battery DC.
Connections should be made to the test plugs prior
to insertion into the DGP system.
Test Plug Insertion
To remove power from the relay, remove at least one
of the connection plugs (see Figure 4-1).
To insert the test plugs, the two connection plugs
must first be removed. In so doing, electrical conti-
nuity is broken between the power system and the
DGP system for those signals that are wired through
the test receptacle (refer to TP points on the elemen-
tary diagram, Figures 1-6 & 1-7 in the PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION section). For the terminals con-
nected to the current-transformer secondaries, short-
ing bars are included on the system side of the test
receptacle. These are clearly visible through the
transparent plastic face plate on the receptacle. The
shorting bars make contact before the connection-
plug contacts break during removal, so that the CT
secondaries are never open-circuited.
Four test plugs may be inserted at the same time giv-
ing access to all 56 terminals simultaneously. Other-
wise, if using fewer than four test plugs, the remain-
ing connection plugs may remain in the other recep-
tacles.
When the test plugs are inserted into the receptacle,
parts of the power system become isolated from the
DGP system. Refer to the elementary diagram for the
TP points associated with each of the test plugs.
WARNING
IT IS CRITICAL THAT JUMPERS BE INSERTED ON
THE SYSTEM-SIDE TEST PLUG TERMINALS THAT
ARE CONNECTED TO THE CT SECONDARIES, AS
GEK-100666 Chapter 3 - Hardware Description
3-4
SHOWN IN FIGURE 1-6. IF THESE JUMPERS ARE
LEFT OUT, THE RESULTING HIGH VOLTAGES
DEVELOPED PRESENT A SERIOUS HAZARD TO
PERSONNEL AND MAY SEVERELY DAMAGE
EQUIPMENT.
3-4 RECEIVING, HANDLING &
STORAGE
Immediately upon receipt, the equipment should be
unpacked and examined for any damage sustained
in transit. If damage resulting from rough handling
is evident, file a damage claim at once with the
transportation company and promptly notify the
nearest GE Sales Office. If the equipment is not to be
installed immediately, it should be stored indoors in
a location that is dry and protected from dust, metal-
lic chips, and severe atmospheric conditions.
3-5 INSTALLATION
Environment
The location should be clean and dry, free from dust
and excessive vibration, and well lighted to facilitate
inspection and testing.
Mounting
The DGP case has been designed for standard rack
mounting. The case measures eight rack units (8
RU) in height. Refer to Figure 3-1 for the outline
and mounting dimensions.
External Connections
External connections are made according to the
elementary diagram, Figures 1-6 & 1-7 in the
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION section. This is a general
diagram incorporating all of the available options.
Connection need not be made to those terminals as-
sociated with options that will not be used.
External Connections Test
WARNING
THE DGP SYSTEM SHOULD BE DISABLED TO
PREVENT TRIPPING OF THE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED
THAT THE UNIT IS CONNECTED PROPERLY.
THIS CAN BE DONE IN TWO WAYS. ONE IS TO
DE-ENERGIZE THE TRIP CIRCUIT CONNECTED
TO THE RELAY; THE OTHER IS TO DISABLE
THE DGP OUTPUTS BY SETTING THE
"DISABLE OUTPUTS" FUNCTION TO " YES"
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
An overall check of current transformer polarities,
potential transformer polarities, and connections to
the DGP relay, can be made prior to placing the DGP
system in service, by using the system voltages and
load current while monitoring the MMI display for
the Present Values of the DGP system. Obtaining the
present values of the DGP system can be done in two
ways. One is to access the INF category on the MMI
keypad. Once the INF category is chosen use the UP-
ARROW key to select the PRESENT VALUES menu.
Scrolling through the present values will allow you to
determine if the relay is wired correctly. Another
method for finding the present values is to press the
CLR key on the MMI and allow the DGP system to
automatically scroll through the present values.
3-6 SURGE GROUND
CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Terminal BH14 must be tied to station ground, as
shown in the elementary diagram Figures 1-6 & 1-7.
The connection to the ground bus must be made as
short as possible, preferably 10 inches or less, using
No.12 wire or larger.

CAUTION
Power Down the relay before removing or inserting
modules. Failure to do so can permanently damage
the relay.
4-1 GENERAL
This section is a guide for testing the relay. It is not
necessary that the tests be performed for incoming
inspection. The relay has been tested at the factory
with automated test equipment. The DGP system is
a digital relay controlled by "self checking" software.
If a system failure is detected, it will be reported
through the MMI and remote communications.
The following tests include: Relay status self test
and display and MMI self test. Tests of the protec-
tion functions and measuring accuracy are also in-
cluded and can be performed at the user's discre-
tion. Protection functions that
end with an * are available on certain models only -
see the DGP model list.

4-2 TEST EQUIPMENT
1. Three-phase source of voltage and current oper-
ating from 30 - 80 Hz, with capability to add 3rd
harmonic voltage to the fundamental
2. DC voltage source (Power supply)
3. Three AC voltmeters
4. Three AC ammeters
5. A continuity tester or Ohm meter
6. A PC compatible computer with a serial and
mouse port
7. An RS232 null modem cable to connect the PC to
the DGP system
8. A Precision Timer for testing timed events.
The specific requirements of the equipment are
given in the text of this section, and in the associ-
ated circuit diagrams.
The three-phase AC sinusoidal voltage must be bal-
anced and undistorted. Similarly, the DC power
should come from a "good" source with less than 5%
ripple. A "good source" is one that is within the
voltage range shown in the SPECIFICATIONS sec-
tion.
As an alternative, a three-phase electronic test
source may be used. In many cases, these devices
enable the test circuits to be simplified greatly.

4-4 EQUIPMENT GROUNDING
All equipment used in testing the DGP relay should
be connected to a common grounding point, to pro-
vide noise immunity. This includes the voltage and
current sources, as well as the DGP system itself.
The common for surge protection is terminal BH14.
4-5 REQUIRED SETTINGS
Most tests will utilize the Default Settings. If setting
changes are required, they will be listed prior to the
test procedure.
For periodic testing purposes, see the PERIODIC
TESTS Section. It provides details on performing
the relay test with user-specific settings.
4-6 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To remove power from the relay, remove at least
one of the connection plugs (see Figure 4-1 in the
MODULES section). For models without the con-
nection plugs, turn both DC Control switches to the
OFF position.
2. The DGP system is tested in the "test mode" of
operation. The test mode selects and isolates vari-
ous test functions and measuring units, and routes
their status to the output Test Pickup and Test Trip
(DOR12 and DOR13) contacts. When the particu-
lar function under test has picked up, DOR12 (AF6-
AG6) will operate. When the particular function
under test has tripped, DOR13 (AF5-AG5) will op-
erate.
For the remainder of this test, DOR12 will be re-
ferred to as "test pickup" and DOR13 as "test trip".
CAUTION
The Digital Output contacts will chatter when the
unit under test is near its threshold. DO NOT let it
continue. Remove the test signal. A single contact
closure is enough to determine that the unit picked
up.
NOTE: SELECTED TRIP AND ALARM
CONTACTS WILL ALSO OPERATE IN THE TEST
MODE.
3. The trip-time settings listed in these tests do not
include the 4-5 ms. for the output relay to operate.
For very short trip times, this may become signifi-
cant
4. During the test, one or more of the electronic
current sources may not be used. If the source is not
used, it must be set to zero (0) in addition to being
disabled. Also, the currents should always be set at
or near zero (0) whenever a current source is pow-
ered on or off.
5. The phase angles of the test sources are shown
relative to phase A voltage. A positive (+) phase an-
gle refers to the referenced quantity leading phase A
voltage. A negative (-) phase angle refers to the ref-
erenced quantity lagging phase A voltage.
6. All test voltages are phase-to-ground measure-
ments unless otherwise specified.
7. Typing an entry on the MMI keypad will be
shown as ["key"] where "key" is the alpha numeric
label of the key to be pressed.
For tests that require a setting change, the setting
number will be shown in parentheses next to the
setting, to facilitate direct access to the setting. This
is performed by pressing the [SET] key, the setting
number (nnnn), and the [ENT] key. The new set-
ting may then be entered.
8. At the end of testing, make sure that all settings
are returned to initial values. Print them out, and
verify them, before placing the relay in service. If a
printer is not available, scroll through all settings
with the MMI display and verify each one.
4-7 SETTING CHANGES
Setting changes required for a particular test will be
listed before the test. A sample setting change is
shown below. Refer to the INTERFACE section for
further details on making setting changes.
Example for changing the set point of the Under-
frequency Unit #1 to 62.00 Hz.
1. Apply rated DC and wait for relay initialization to
complete, as indicated by the green LED on the
MMI.
2. Press the [ACT] key. Scroll with the arrow key
until "ACT: ENTER PASSWORD" is displayed, then
press the [ENT] key.
If this is the first time the Settings Level functions
are used, the password has the factory value "1234.".
The decimal point, is a character that can only be
entered at the factory. This password must be
changed before any Setting functions can be ac-
GEK-100666 Chapter 4 - Acceptance Tests
4-5
cessed. See the INTERFACE section for informa-
tion on how to change the password.
3. Enter the current Settings Level password. If the
password is not known, see the INTERFACE section
for information on how it can be viewed.
When the correct password is entered, the message
"SELECTED" is displayed.
4. Press the [SET] key.
5. Scroll with the arrow key until "SET: 81-1U" is
displayed, then press the [ENT] key.
6. Scroll through the 81-1U settings until you get to
"SET PNT = #.#".
7. Type "62.00" on the keypad. This inputs will be
shown on the MMI display at half intensity. This
represents that a change is made but not yet en-
tered.
8. When the correct frequency is entered, press the
[ENT] key. The inputs will now be shown on the
MMI display at full intensity. This represents that
the change is entered into the settings buffer, but
not permanently changed in the relay.
9. To finalize the setting change, press the [END]
key followed by the [ENT] key.
If the [END] and the [ENT] keys are not pressed
after setting changes, the settings will not be stored
into memory.
10. Restore the SET PNT setting back to its origi-
nal value before beginning the test. It will be neces-
sary to enter the Settings Level password again.
4-8 ENTERING THE TEST MODE
Before each test, it is necessary to set the relay in the
test mode and select the function to be tested. The
test mode is set as follows:
1. Apply rated DC and wait for relay initialization to
complete, as indicated by the green LED on the
MMI.
2. Press the [ACT] key. Scroll with the arrow key
until "ACT: ENTER PASSWORD" is displayed, then
press the [ENT] key.
If this is the first time the Control Level functions
are used, the password has the factory value "5678.".
The decimal point, ".", is a character that can only
be entered at the factory. This password must be
changed before any Control functions can be ac-
cessed. See the INTERFACE section for informa-
tion on how to change the password.
3. Enter the current Control Level password. If the
password is not known, see the INTERFACE section
for information on how it can be viewed.
When the correct password is entered, the message
"SELECTED" will be displayed.
4. Press the [ACT] key. Scroll with the arrow key
until "ACT: RELAY TEST" is displayed, then press
the [ENT] key.
5. Scroll through the different test mode functions
or enter the number of the desired test, such as "5"
for the 40-1 then press [ENT]. Pressing [ENT]
again causes the MMI to display "40-1 ON", and
the MMI LED will turn red, indicating that the relay
is in the test mode. When the relay picks up or trips
for the selected function it will close the DOR12 or
DOR13 contacts, respectively.
4-9 EXITING THE TEST MODE
While in the "TEST MODE", press the [ACT] key.
Scroll with the arrow key until "ACT: RELAY TEST"
is displayed, then press the [ENT] key. Scroll until
the display shows "END TEST MODE", or press "1"
then [ENT]. Then press the [ENT] key. The MMI
LED should return to green, indicating that normal
operation has resumed.
4-10 USING DGP-LINK
(Optional)
To test the relay without using the DGP Keypad,
communication with the relay is accomplished via a
PC with the program DGP-LINK. DGP-LINK is re-
quired to establish communications, change the
password, change settings for the tests, and place the
unit into test mode.
The following section is intended to give a step by
step procedure to test the relay, from setting up
communications to the application of the voltages
and current inputs. It will be necessary to be famil-
iar with the DGP-LINK software. Refer to the
SOFTWARE section of this manual for information
on how to use DGP-LINK.
GEK-100666 Chapter 4 - Acceptance Tests
4-6
Hardware Setup
The hardware, specifically the cable to connect your
PC to the relay, depends on the connection the PC
requires and that of the DGP system. The DGP port
PL-1 accepts a 25 pin male D-connector. Port
COMM accepts a 9 pin male D-connector. The PC
used may require a 9 or a 25 pin connector. Null
modem cables are shown in the INTERFACE sec-
tion for connecting to the DGP system with a 9-pin-
to-25-pin and a 25-pin-to-25-pin setup.
PC Software Setup
The Software setup consists of loading the software
on to the PC, starting the program, and configuring
the program to the PORT and BAUD RATE of the
PC and DGP system.
Load & Start DGP-LINK
Use the INSTALLATION guide in the SOFTWARE
section of this manual for directions to load DGP-
LINK onto your PC.
Change directories to the location of the DGP-LINK
program.
Start the program by typing "DGP-LINK" at the DOS
prompt.
Set the Local (PC) Configuration
When you start DGP-LINK the MAIN MENU is dis-
played.
Select the Setup heading. Refer to the SOFTWARE
section for information on how to select items using
the keyboard or a mouse.
The SETUP menu will now be displayed.
Select Communication port number.
The default communications port will be displayed.
Type in the port number that matches the PC port
connected to the DGP system.
If port 3 or 4 is selected, the IRQ number must also
be selected.
Select "OK" when the port is configured.
Set Up a Test Unit Description
The next step is to create a new "Unit Description"
that matches the DGP system's baud rate, phone
number, and switch code. The DGP system is ac-
cessed locally during testing, therefore the PHONE
NUMBER and the SWITCH CODE will not be set.
The BAUD RATE will be set to the factory setting of
2400 with one stop bit and no parity.
Select the Add relay to list heading from the Setup
menu.
When prompted for the UNIT DESCRIPTION, type
"TEST" and select "OK".
A new unit description called "TEST" is created and
must now have parameters set for it. The RELAY
PARAMETERS menu appears with spaces for
PHONE NUMBER, SWITCH CODE, BAUD RATE,
STOP BITS, and PARITY.
At the PHONE NUMBER prompt, press [TAB].
(This is the default used when there is no phone.)
At the SWITCH CODE prompt, press [TAB]. (This
is the default value for no switch.)
At the BAUD RATE prompt, select "2400" and press
[TAB].
At the STOP BITS prompt, select "1" and press
[TAB].
At the PARITY prompt, select "None" and press
[TAB].
The Unit Description for "TEST" is complete.
Enter "OK" to return to the Setup menu.
Relay Setup
Before shipment, the relay is set with factory default
settings. These include the UnitID, the Baud Rate,
and the Factory Passwords. The default communi-
cations parameters are:

Logging Into the Relay
Select Login from the Relay functions menu.
Select the relay login data for "TEST" just created.
DGP-LINK will prompt for a password. If this is the
first login to the relay, the passwords are those listed
in the table above, and must be changed before any
of the relay functions except CHANGE PASSWORD
and LOGOUT will operate. See the SOFTWARE
section of this manual for information on how to
change a password.
Type in the current password and press [TAB].
If the password is not known, refer to the
INTERFACE section of this manual for information
on how to display the current password.
DGP-LINK will prompt for the unit ID.
Type in "0" and press [TAB]. Select "OK".
DGP-LINK will respond with a "SUCCESSFUL
LOGIN" message.
If this was an initial login with the above factory de-
fault password, the user must change the password
then logout at this point, and login again with the
current password in order to get a complete display
of all the DGP menus.
Select Logout from the Relay functions menu and
select "OK".
Setting Changes
Setting changes required for a particular test will be
listed before the test. A setting can be changed in
two ways, by category or individually, by selecting
either view/change Category of settings or
view/change Individual settings from the DGP-
LINK Relay functions Settings menu. A procedure
for and example of how to change settings is pro-
vided in the SOFTWARE section of this manual.
It is important to remember to select End settings
changes from the Settings menu after all settings
changes for a particular test are completed. Select-
ing End settings changes tells the relay to execute
the new settings immediately.
Entering the Test Mode
Before most tests it is necessary to set the relay in the
test mode according to the function to be tested.
The test mode is set as follows:
Select Change access level from the Relay functions
menu.
Enter the Control Access password
When the password is accepted, "CONTROL
ACCESS" will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Select Relay test from the DGP-LINK Actions menu.
The Test Mode list box appears.
Select the test you wish to enter from the menu and
then select "OK".
The MMI LED will change from green to red when
the DGP system is in the test mode.
Exiting the Test Mode
The test mode is ended, and the relay protection
turned on, by selecting End test mode from the Test
Mode list box and then selecting "OK". The MMI
LED changes from red to green and "Relay Not in
Test Mode" will appear at the bottom of the screen,
indicating that normal operation has resumed.
4-11 INITIAL TEST SETUP
Before beginning the test, the relay settings should
be recorded for reference and verification. The fac-
tory settings are listed in the CALCULATION OF
SETTINGS section. Scroll through each setting and
make sure they all match the default settings listed.
If testing with DGP-LINK, the relay settings should
be uploaded from the DGP system and printed for
reference and verification. Verify that each DGP
setting matches the default setting listed. If no
printer is available, use the view/change Category of
settings command for verification.
Once uploaded, the current DGP settings can be
saved to a disk file so that they can be reloaded back
into the DGP system when testing is completed. Use
the Save DGP settings to file command in the DGP-
LINK Relay functions Settings menu. DGP-LINK
will prompt you for a name for the file, after which
you should enter a valid MS-DOS filename. More
information on how to use this command can be
found in the SOFTWARE section of this manual.

4-12 GENERAL RELAY TESTS
NOTE:
All Settings or Control changes must have their re-
spective passwords entered before any changes can
be made. After all of the settings changes have been
entered, the key-sequence, "END" followed by
"ENT", must be entered so that the relay can accept
and operate with the new settings.
T1-MMI Status and Display Testing
The Relay's Status is reported through the MMI, the
non-critical alarm contact, and the critical alarm
contact. If a system error caused relaying functions
to cease, the LED on the MMI would turn red, a
"FAIL" message would be displayed on the MMI,
and the critical alarm relay would de-energize. A
failure that did not interrupt relaying would be in-
dicated by energizing the non-critical alarm relay,
and by a "WARN" message on the MMI display.
Status Check
This test will demonstrate the use of the MMI to
check relay status. See the SERVICING section for
further information.
1. The AC inputs are not required for this test, only
the DC power supply voltage. Apply rated DC
power and wait for initialization to complete, as
indicated by the green LED.
2. Enter the "Setting Level" password. Press the
[SET] key followed by "103" to change the setting
for the trip circuit monitor. For the setting SEL
TVM enter "0000".
NOTE: Press [END] and [ENT] keys after each
setting change.
3. Press the [INF] key. Then scroll with the arrow
keys until the heading "INF: STATUS" is dis-
played.
4. Press the [ENT] key.
The display should be "STATUS OK". "OK" repre-
sents that the relay is operational and there are no
errors.
Warning Status
1. Enter the "Setting Level" password. Press the
[SET] key followed by "103" to change the setting
for the trip circuit monitor. For the setting SEL
TVM enter "1111". When this is done, the relay
expects wetting voltage across the trip contacts.
Press the [END] and then [ENT] keys.
2. Press the [INF] key. Then scroll with the arrow

Protection Function testing can be done by two
methods. In protection mode, all outputs are di-
rected to the selected Trip/Alarm output contacts.
In test mode, all outputs are directed to the test-
output contacts (DOR12-test pickup, DOR13-test
trip), along with the selected Trip/Alarm contacts.
Test pickup has a normally open (AF6-AG6) and a
normally closed (AF6-AE6) contact. Test trip also
has a normally open (AF5-AG5) and a normally
closed (AF5-AE5) contact.

should not operate. Change the current inputs
to: IAS = 6.3(1.26)A rms 0, IBS = 0.0A rms -120,
and ICS = 0.0A rms -240. Test pickup should
operate immediately and test trip should operate
in 5.5 to 5.7 seconds.
NOTE:
If this test is repeated, the operate time of the trip
contact will change according to how soon the test is
repeated. The trip time can be calculated according
to the following equation:
New Trip Time = (X/230)*(Original Trip Time)
where X = the time between successive tests and
Original Trip Time = the 5.5 to 5.7 seconds it origi-
nally took to trip the relay. If the time between suc-
cessive trips is greater than 230 seconds, the relay
will trip in the original trip time.

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 except test trip should now
oerpates in 5.0 to 5.5 seconds.
NOTE:
If this test is repeated, the operate time of the trip
contact will change according to how soon the
test is repeated. The trip time can be calculated
according to the following equation:
New Trip Time = (X/Reset)*(Original Trip
Time)
where X = the time between successive tests,
Original Trip Time = the 5.0 to 5.5 seconds it
originally took to trip the relay, and Reset = Set-
ting (1409). If the time between successive trips
is greater than the Reset time, the relay will trip
in the original trip time.

CAUTION
Power Down the relay by removing the test plugs
before removing or inserting modules. Failure to
do so can permanently damage the relay.
5-1 PERIODIC TESTING OF THE
DGP SYSTEM
The formulas below will permit the calculation of
pickup currents and voltages for testing the DGP
system with settings specific to a particular
application. The test circuits and procedures are
the same as used and illustrated in the
ACCEPTANCE TESTS section of this book.
It is up to the user to determine the extent of the
testing to be performed. The tests shown are guides
for performing the test; they are not strictly required
to be done at every periodic test of the relay. The
desired test procedures can be incorporated into the
user's standard test procedures.
However, it is suggested that the relay's built-in "Self
Tests" be incorporated into the user's test
procedures. They will give the operational status of
the unit.
It is assumed that the user is familiar with testing
the DGP system. If not, refer to the ACCEPTANCE
TEST section for details.

5-2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Refer to sections 4-2 to 4-9 of the ACCEPTANCE
TEST for general information on preparing to
test the DGP.
2. Before beginning the test, the relay settings
should be printed for reference and verification.
If no printer is available, scroll through each
setting and make sure they match the required
settings of the relay.
5-3 RELAY TESTS
T1 - Relay Status & MMI
The Relay's Status is reported through the MMI, the
non-critical alarm contact, and the critical alarm
contact. If a system error caused relaying functions
to cease, the LED on the MMI would turn red, a
"FAIL" message would be displayed on the MMI,
and the critical alarm relay would de-energize. A
failure that did not interrupt relaying would be
indicated by energizing the non-critical alarm relay,
and by a "WARN" message on the MMI display.
If a STATUS error is detected, see the SERVICING
section for further information.
Status Check
1. Apply rated DC power and wait for initialization
to complete, as indicated by the green LED.
2. Press the [INF] key. Then scroll with the arrow
keys until the heading "INF: STATUS" is
displayed.
3. Press the [ENT] key.
The display should show "STATUS OK".
Display Test
The MMI test is built into the software. It allows the
user to test the keypad, the printer, and the display.
If no printer is to be used with your relay, then skip
the printer port testing.
GEK-100666 Chapter 5 - Periodic Tests

6-1 SPARES
There are two possible servicing methods for the
DGP system. They are: spare module replacement
and component level repair. The preferred method
is module replacement using the DGP system's
automatic self-tests to isolate failed modules. When
the defective module is found, it can be replaced
with a spare, and the system can be returned to
service. This method typically yields the shortest
"down time" of the system. To further reduce "down
time" it is recommended that a complete set of spare
modules be kept at the maintenance center.
It is not recommended that the relay be serviced at
the component level. This requires a substantial
investment in test/repair equipment, and in
technical expertise, and usually results in longer
"down times" than module replacement. For those
who do wish to trouble-shoot to the component
level, drawings can be obtained by requesting them
from the factory. When requesting drawings, the
following information must be supplied to the
factory:
1. The model number of the module. This is found
on the lower part of the front nameplate of each
module, e.g. MGM781
2. The assembly number of the module. This is
found on the component side of the printed
circuit board. It is an eight digit number with a
letter inserted between the fourth and fifth digit
and suffixed with a group identification, e.g.
0215B8012G001.
3. The revision number. This is found on the
printed circuit board adjacent to the assembly
number of the board.
CAUTION
Power down the relay by removing the test plugs or
turn OFF the PS1 & PS2 switches before removing
or inserting modules. Failure to do so can
permanently damage the relay.
6-2 RELAY SELF-TEST
The DGP system automatically performs tests of
major functions and critical hardware components
and reports their status via the MMI Display and the
non-critical and critical alarm contacts. The failure
report is dependent on the type or level of the
failure. Some failures will operate the critical alarm
contact and the STATUS LED, while others will
only operate the non-critical alarm contact.
There are three levels of self-test performed by the
relay. The first level indicates severe relaying
failures. They are indicated by a "FAIL" message on
the MMI, a de-energizing of the "critical alarm"
relay, and by the STATUS LED turning red. These
failures are the most critical because they indicate
that the relay is not providing protection.
The second level of self-test displays warning
messages. They are indicated by a "WARN" message
on the MMI, and energizing of the "non-critical
alarm" relay. These failures are a less critical
condition, where the relay is still providing some
degree of protection.
The third level of tests indicate "System Status"
errors that are due to power system errors (Trip
Circuit Open), or caused by the use of a DGP
command that disables the relay (Disable Outputs).
They are indicated by the "non-critical alarm" relay
being energized, a red LED, or by the "critical
alarm" relay being de-energized. However, no MMI
display is provided until the "Information Status"
command is used.
The types of self-tests performed are described in the
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION section of this manual.
The components tested during the start-up self-tests
are listed in Table 6-1. The components tested
during run time background and foreground self-
tests are listed in Tables 6-2 and 6-3, respectively.

6-3 TROUBLESHOOTING
Trouble shooting the relay requires three steps. The
first step is to determine the type of failure. The
type is either a critical, non-critical, or a system-
status failure. Next, the list of failure codes, warning
codes or the "Information Status" command is used
to determine what module is defective. Lastly, the
defective module is replaced in accordance with
safety and static-discharge precautions.
The troubleshooting sections are as follows:
1. Servicing a Critical Failure "FAIL"
2. Servicing a Non-Critical Failure "WARN"
3. Servicing a System Status Failure
NOTE: Refer to the ACCEPTANCE TEST section
for test of the MMI display, keypad, and printer port,
and of the measuring units.
Using the Information Status
Command
Tables 6-6 and 6-7 have been provided as a listing of
all the "FAIL" and "WARN" messages. They can be
used to decode "Fail xxx" and "Warn xxx" codes.
The "Information Status" command can also be
used to extract the same data from the MMI display
without looking up the code on the table. The
"Information Status" command can be used at the
relay site, or remotely over a modem link.
The INFORMATION STATUS command is invoked
as follows:
1. Apply rated DC power to the relay and wait for
initialization to complete.
2. Press the [INF] key. Then scroll with the arrow
keys until the heading "INF: STATUS" is
displayed. (If you have a printer, press the [PRT]
key.)
3. Press the [ENT] key.
The display will indicate that there is a failure
with the words "STATUS: FAIL".
4. Press the "Up Arrow" key to get a detailed report
of the failure. A complete list of the possible
errors is shown in Tables 6-4, 5, and 6 below.
The "FAIL" and "WARN" messages are also
included. Their descriptions can also be
displayed on the MMI, by using the "Information
Status" command.
NOTE: After initial power up or loss of power
exceeding 24 hours, the time and date will reset to
00:00:00 01/01/90. All event and fault data will be
reset.

CA = de-energizing the critical alarm relay
6-4 SERVICING A CRITICAL
FAILURE "FAIL"
A critical failure indicates total interruption of the
protection function. When an extended failure is
detected on one of the modules (excluding the
power supply) the critical alarm relay will drop out,
and the MMI LED will turn red. Remove and re-
apply the DC power to bring up the FAIL message
on the display. If the DGP system successfully
restarts, the LED will turn green.
The FAIL message has the format "FAIL xxx". The
"xxx" field following the word "FAIL" is the numeric
code that indicates the nature of the critical failure.
The FAIL message remains on the display until a
key is pressed or until the DGP system restarts
successfully (with no self-test failures).
NOTE: As an alternative, the "Information Status"
command can be used to display the failure
type directly on the MMI.
A Failure message may appear in the Events or on
the display, but not be displayed from "Information
Status". This is the result of a Removable Critical
Alarm, "REMCRIT" in Table 6-6 and 6-7. This is
caused by the DGP system detecting a critical alarm,
GEK-100666 Chapter 6 - Servicing
6-6
then later detecting that the condition has cleared
up, and thus being able to restore protection.
Locating the defective module
Use Tables 6-6 or 6-7, or the "Information Status"
command, to isolate the cause of the failure. When
the suspected module is found, power down the unit
and replace it. Re-apply power. If the "FAIL"
message is gone, then the unit has been successfully
repaired. If the message has changed, it is possible
that another module requires replacement.
6-5 SERVICING A NON-CRITICAL
FAILURE "WARN"
A non-critical failure indicates a possible
interruption in the relay's protection, but not a total
loss. When a WARN condition occurs, the DGP
system's non-critical alarm contact will close. The
LED will remain green. Turn off the DC input
power, then re-apply. The "WARN XXX" message
should appear if the failure still exists.
The WARN message has the format "WARN xxx".
The "xxx" field following the word "WARN" is the
numeric code that indicates the nature of the
failure. The WARN message remains on the display
until a key is pressed or until the DGP system restarts
successfully (with no self-test failures). See Table 6-6
for the list of Warning codes and their meanings.
NOTE: As an alternative to using the table of
warnings, the "Information Status"
command can be used to display the
warning type directly on the MMI.
A Failure message may appear in the Events or on
the display, but not be displayed from "Information
Status". This is the result of a Removable Non-
Critical Alarm, "REMNONCRIT" in Table 6-7. This
is caused by the DGP system detecting a non-critical
alarm, then later detecting that the condition has
cleared up, and thus being able to restore
protection.
Locating the defective module
Use Tables 6-6 or 6-7, or the "Information Status"
command to isolate the cause of the failure. Power
down the unit and replace the suspected module if
appropriate. Re-apply power and the WARN
message should clear. If the WARN message is gone,
then the unit has been successfully repaired. If the
message has changed, it is possible that another
module requires replacement.

"STATUS" FAILURES
A system failure is one that indicates a failure of a
power system input, or indicates that the relay has
been disabled by a user command. They are
indicated by the "non-critical alarm" contacts, by a
red LED, or by the "critical alarm" contacts.
However, no MMI display is provided until the
"Information Status" command is used.
Turn off the DC input power, then re-apply. The
non-critical alarm contact(n.o.) will be closed if the
failure still exists. Use the "Information Status" to
determine the cause of the trouble.

8-1 LOCAL MAN MACHINE
INTERFACE (MMI) OPERATION
DISPLAY
The display consists of 16 LED alphanumeric charac-
ter positions arranged side-by-side horizontally.
There are also 19 Target LEDs and 1 Status LED.
All messages on the display are the result of some
keypad action, with four exceptions: the Trip mes-
sage when the DGP system has caused a protective
trip, the Fail message when the DGP system has dis-
covered a critical self-test failure, the Warning mes-
sage when the DGP system has discovered a non-
critical self-test failure, and the Initialization message
when the DGP system is initializing during a power
up.
All messages other than the Trip message are dis-
played at the same intensity, about half of full-
intensity. User input for setting changes is echoed at
a lower intensity to help distinguish the stored set-
ting value from one that has not yet been entered
into the DGP system.
The Trip message is displayed at highest intensity
and has the following format: "TRIP xxx xxx". The
word "TRIP" blinks to indicate that the DGP system
has caused a protective trip. The two fields of infor-
mation following the word "TRIP" are non-blinking
and contain the following information: a three-
character fault type (e.g. ABC) and a three-character
trip type (see section 2, Request Fault Information in
the INFORMATION Key section for a list of the trip
types). The message will remain on the display per-
manently until removed by a keyboard operation. If
the DGP system restarts or is powered down and up,
the trip indicator is remembered and redisplayed. As
soon as any key is pressed, the Trip message is re-
moved and no longer remembered.
The Fail message has the format "FAIL xxx". The
field following the word "FAIL" is a numeric code
that indicates the nature of the critical self-test fail-
ure. The Fail message remains on the display until a
key is pressed or until the DGP system restarts suc-
cessfully (with no self-test failures). A list of the fail-
ure numbers and their meanings can be found in the
SERVICING section.
The Warning message has the format "WARN xxx".
The field following the word "WARN" is a numeric
code that indicates the nature of the non-critical self-
test failure. The Warning message remains on the
display until the a key is pressed or until the DGP sys-
tem restarts successfully (with no self-test failures). A
list of the warning numbers and their meanings can
be found in the SERVICING section.
The Initialization message has the format
"INITIALIZING" and is displayed while the DGP sys-
tem is initializing itself during a power-up sequence.
The display is blanked as soon as initialization is
complete.
All other messages that are the result of keypad op-
erations remain on the display until another key is
pressed, or until no keys have been pressed for a pe-
riod of 15 minutes; at the end of this time-out inter-
val, the display is blanked. The time-out interval is
set to 10 seconds when the END and ENT keys are
pressed successively; at the end of this time-out inter-
val, the display is blanked. Time-out also causes the
MMI access privilege to be set at View Level.
TARGET LEDs
There are 18 LEDs that indicate all of the protection
functions that operated during a fault. The Target
LEDs display the information for the TRIP message
that is currently on the display. See figures 3-2 and
3-3 (DIT module) for details of the Target LEDs.
TARGET RESET KEY
The Target Reset Key is the CLR key on the keypad.
Operation of the CLR key is explained in the section
below.
KEYPAD
The MMI keypad is an interface method on the DGP
system. The keypad is comprised of twenty keys. See
figures 3-2 and 3-3 (MMI module) for details on the
kaypad layout.
CLEAR Key (CLR)
The CLR key is used to abort a keyboard sequence in
progress (for example, when the user sees he has
made an error). When the CLR key is pressed, all or
part of the display will be blanked. If there is user-
entered information on the display, only that infor-
mation will be blanked. For example, if the user is
entering a Setting value when the CLR key is pressed,
only the user's input will be blanked; the name of the
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-3
setting will remain on the display. As another exam-
ple, if the user is responding to an Action prompt,
only the user's input will be blanked; the prompt
question will remain on the display. If there is no
user-entered information on the display, the entire
display will be blanked and the DGP system will ex-
pect a Command key to be pressed.
If a Trip, Fail, or Warn message is being displayed,
the user must press the CLR key to blank the error
message (all other keys will be ignored). When the
error message is blanked, the last message will be dis-
played, allowing the user to re-enter the correct re-
sponse.
Fault data can be displayed by pressing the CLEAR
key while a TRIP message is on display. Only target
information (TRIP messages) and the time of the
trips, for the accumulated faults are displayed. Press-
ing CLEAR while the current TRIP message is dis-
played shows its time of occurrence. Pressing CLEAR
again shows the date. Pressing CLEAR again shows
target information for the previous fault. This con-
tinues until the information is displayed for all of the
accumulated faults. At this point the display be-
comes blank. TRIP messages for the recorded faults
are displayed in normal intensity and not blinking,
in order to distinguish them from the latest TRIP
message, which is blinking in high intensity. The
Target LEDs display the protection functions that
operated for the TRIP message that is currently on
the display.
Present Values Scrolling is activated by pressing the
CLEAR key when the display is blank (items dis-
played are described later under INF command key
processing). Each item is displayed for 4 seconds
before proceeding to the next item. After scrolling
through all of the items, the display is blanked.
Both the fault data display and the Present Value
display are stopped by one of the following: TRIP or
a key being pressed.
PRINT Key (PRT)
NOTE:
Printer output is not active in some models of DGPs
(see the model selection guide).
For applicable DGP models, the PRT key is used to
direct information to the printer instead of to the
display. When information is sent to the display,
only one item at a time is displayed. When informa-
tion is sent to the printer, all items within a category
(or, in the case of settings, all settings) are printed.
When the PRT key is pressed, the characters "PRT"
will appear in the display.
ARROW Keys
The ARROW keys are used to scroll through the list
of categories within a Command (SET, INF, ACT)
key or to scroll through the list of items within a
category. For example, pressing the INF key will pro-
duce the name of the first category (e.g., "STATUS")
on the display. Pressing the UP-ARROW key will
then produce the name of the second category (e.g.,
"FAULT") on the display. When the user reaches
the desired category, pressing the ENT key will then
produce the first item of that category on the display.
From that point on, pressing the UP-ARROW key will
produce each subsequent item in the category on the
display.
While the UP-ARROW key scrolls in a "forward" di-
rection through a list of categories or items, the
DOWN-ARROW key can be used to scroll "backward"
through a list; i.e., the user may return to the previ-
ously displayed item by pressing the DOWN-ARROW
key.
If the user is scrolling through items within a cate-
gory and wants to get out of that category, pressing
the Command (SET, INF, ACT) key again will dis-
play the current category name. The user may then
use the ARROW keys to scroll through the categories.
ENTER Key (ENT)
The ENT key is used to enter data or to enter a
choice. The ENT key is also used in conjunction
with the END key to confirm a setting change to be
stored into the DGPs non-volatile memory (see the
END Key description).
DATA ENTRY KEYS
The Data Entry keys consist of the numeric keys and
the decimal point. These keys are used to enter data
into the DGP system or to make choices in response
to prompts. The numeric keys [1/Y] and [3/N] have
two meanings.
If the user is entering numeric values, the [1/Y] and
[3/N] keys are processed and echoed as 1 and 3. If
the user is responding to a YES/NO prompt, the
[1/Y] key is processed and echoed as a YES and the
[3/N] key is processed and echoed as a NO.
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-4
END Key
The END key causes two actions. First it is used to
indicate that no more setting changes will be made.
Second it is used to end a session. That is, when the
user presses the END key, the MMI becomes idle
(without the 15 minute time-out) and remote com-
munication actions and settings are enabled, if they
were previously locked by the MMI.
The key sequence for indicating the end of setting
changes and/or the end of a session is: END ENT
When the user presses the END key, the display shows
"HIT ENT TO END". When the user presses the
ENT key, the display shows "ENDED".
1. If no setting values have been entered, the DGP
system takes no action in response to the
END/ENT key sequence other than to enable ac-
tion items locked previously by the MMI, to allow
action commands from remote communications
to be executed.
2. If the Digital Output Test was activated from the
MMI, pressing the END/ENT key sequence will
deactivate the test and turn protection on. This
will also set the MMI Privilege Level to View Level.
3. If settings have been changed, the END/ENT key
sequence will cause the DGP system to reinitialize
itself to use the new settings and the Event
"SETTING CHANGE DONE" will be logged in the
Sequence of Events. The DGP system then checks
whether or not outputs have been disabled by the
user. If outputs have been disabled, the STATUS
LED will remain red. If outputs are enabled, and
there are no critical self-test failures of the DGP
system, the LED will turn green. The DGP protec-
tion software reinitializes itself to use the new set-
ting values. The displayed message changes to
"ENDED". The MMI unlocks the settings lock to
allow remote communication to display and
change settings from the DGP system.
The "ENDED" message is blanked from the dis-
play when another key is pressed or after a 10 sec-
ond delay. In the latter case, the display remains
blank until another key is pressed.
PASSWORDS
There are two sets of passwords, MMI and Commu-
nications. Passwords are needed to perform certain
operations with the DGP system. A password for ac-
tions or settings is entered by selecting the ENTER
PASSWD category under ACTION, and entering the
password after the prompt (See the ACTIONS Key
section below). If an action or setting change is not
performed for a period of 15 minutes, the password
becomes inactive. For settings, after the key sequence
END ENT is pressed, the password privileges become
inactive. The settings and actions may be viewed at
any time but may only be changed if the password for
that function is active. Refer to Enter Password in
the ACTIONS Key section.
There are two MMI passwords, one for Actions and
one for Settings access at the keypad. These pass-
words are limited to the numeric digits on the key-
pad. The MMI passwords are different from the
communications passwords, which are for logging
into the relay, remote settings changes, and perform-
ing remote actions. The communication passwords
can contain any of the allowable alpha-numeric
characters in Table 8-2. All 5 types of password are
listed below:
MMI Passwords Factory Default
Actions 5678.
Setting Changes 1234.
Communications Passwords Factory Default
Actions CTRL!
Setting Changes SETT!
Viewing information only VIEW!
NOTE:
All factory default passwords MUST BE CHANGED
by the user before they can used effectively.
The communications passwords can only be viewed
at the MMI using the Information key, and the MMI
passwords can only be viewed from the Information
Menu under Relay Functions in DGP-LINK. All
passwords are displayed in encoded form. Use Table
8-2 to decode the passwords.
SETTINGS Key (SET)
The SET key is used to display or change settings.
Settings are divided into categories. See Table 2-1
for the full listing of all categories and settings avail-
able in the DGP. Figure 8-1 shows the menu struc-
ture of the SET key.
The user may scroll through all of the settings in a
category using the ARROW keys. If the user wishes
to leave that category, pressing the SET key will cause
the current category name to be displayed. Then the
user may go to another category by using an ARROW
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-5
key, or may enter a setting number, followed by the
ENT key, to go to another setting.
If the user wants to change a setting, he must first
display that setting (item) as described above. With
the present value of the setting displayed, he then
uses the Data Entry keys to enter the new value.
When the first Data Entry key is pressed, the abbrevi-
ated name remains on the display but the value is
blanked and a blinking ":" symbol appears at the end
of the name in place of the "=" symbol; each Data
Entry key is displayed as it is pressed, in a lower than
normal intensity, and the ":" symbol continues to
blink. Note that there are some settings that logically
represent a state rather than a number (i.e.,
YES/NO). For these settings, the [1/Y] and [3/N]
keys are used to indicate the state ([1/Y] = YES and
[3/N] = NO) and the words "YES" or "NO" are dis-
played. After the last digit of the new value is
pushed, the user presses the ENT key; at this point
the blinking ":" symbol is replaced by an "=" symbol,
the value is displayed at normal intensity, and the
DGP system stores the new value as the value of the
setting. If the user presses any Command key, the
PRT key, either ARROW key, or the CLR key, instead
of the ENT key, the new value will not be stored, and
the old value will be retained.
It is important to note that as soon as any value is
entered for any setting, the DGP system will not stop
its Protection activities. Settings are stored in a tem-
porary buffer until the user presses END, ENT key
sequence. This will cause a transfer of settings from
the buffer to EEPROM, and re-initialization of pro-
tection. If the END, ENT sequence is not performed
and the DGP system is allowed to time out, all of the
settings in the temporary storage will be lost.
ACTIONS Key (ACT)
The ACT key is used to perform actions. The cate-
gories can be scrolled through, using the ARROW
keys. The 11 possible categories are listed below.
The names of the categories displayed at the MMI
are in parentheses. For convenience, each category
has also been assigned a number so that the user may
go directly to the desired category. The key sequence
for selecting an actions is: ACT n [ENT]
n=1: Disable Outputs (DISABLE)
2: Enable Outputs (ENABLE)
3: Trip (TRIP)
4: Reset (RESET)
5: Enter Date and Time (DATE/TIME)
6: Relay Test (RELAY TEST)
7: MMI Test (MMI TEST)
8: Fix Up Settings CRC (COMPUTE CRC)
9: Enter Password (ENTER PASSWORD)
10: Change Password (CHANGE PASSWORD)
11: Digital Output Test (DIG OUTPUT TEST)
"n" is the optional category number; if omitted, cate-
gory 1 is assumed. When the user presses the ENT
key following the displayed name of a category, the
first item or prompt in that category is displayed. If
the category contains a list of items, the user may
scroll through the items using the ARROW keys, in
the same manner as described above for Settings.
Figure 8-2 shows the menu structure of the ACT key.
1. Disable Outputs
This category is used to inhibit the DGP system from
energizing any of the Digital Output channels. This
only includes the four Trip outputs, the four Alarm
outputs, and the VTFF output. After the ENT key is
pressed, the display prompts the user with the mes-
sage "DIS OUTPUTS?". The user presses the [3/N]
key for NO or the [1/Y] key for YES and then presses
the ENT key. If the user responds with a NO, the
message "CANCELLED" appears on the display, and
no DGP action occurs. If the user responds with YES,
the action is performed, the message "OUTPUTS
DISABLED" appears on the display, the Status LED
turns red, and the event "LOCAL - DISABLE
OUTPUTS" is logged in the sequence of events.
2. Enable Outputs
This category is used to permit the DGP system to
energize all of the Digital Output channels. After
the ENT key is pressed, the display prompts the user
with the message "EN OUTPUTS?". The user presses
the [3/N] key for NO or the [1/Y] key for YES and
then presses the ENT key. If the user responds with a
NO, the message "CANCELLED" appears on the dis-
play, and no DGP action occurs. If the user responds
with a YES, the action is performed, the message
"OUTPUTS ENABLED" appears on the display, the
Status LED turns green, and the event "LOCAL -
ENABLE OUTPUTS" is logged in the sequence of
events.
3. Trip
This category is used to manually operate any one of
the four trip output relays.
When the ENT key is pressed, the display prompts
the user with the message "WHICH RLY?". The user
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-6
enters the number of the desired Trip output and
then presses the ENT key. The number for each
Trip contact is shown in the following table:
Input # Trip Contact
0 94G
1 94G1
2 94G2
3 94G3
The display then prompts the user with the message
"TRIP XXXX?" (XXXX is the name of the Trip Con-
tact). The user presses the [3/N] for NO or the
[1/Y] for YES and then presses the ENT key. If the
user responded with N, the message "CANCELLED"
appears on the display, and no DGP action occurs. If
the user responded with Y, then the action is per-
formed and the message "XXXX TRIPPED" appears
on the display, and the event "LOCAL - MANUAL
TRIP" is logged in the sequence of events.
4. Reset
This category is used to clear out various pieces of
information stored in the DGP memory. The follow-
ing information can be cleared.
FAULT REPORTS
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
When the ENT key is pressed, the display prompts
the user with the message "RST WHAT?". The user
presses a 0 for FAULT REPORTS or a 1 for
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS to indicate which informa-
tion is to be reset, and then presses the ENT key.
The display then prompts the user with the message
"RST FLT RPT?" or "RST SOE?". The user presses
the [3/N] for NO or the [1/Y] for YES and then
presses the ENT key. If the user responds with a NO,
the message "CANCELLED" appears on the display,
and no DGP action occurs. If the user responds with
a YES, the action is performed and the message "FLT
RPT RESET" or "SOE RESET" is displayed.
5. Date/Time
This category is used to display or change the cur-
rent date and/or time stored in the DGP system.
When the ENT key is pressed, the display shows
"DATE: mm/dd/yy". If the user wishes to change
the date, he enters 6 digits from the numeric keypad,
then presses the ENT key. If the user presses any key
other than ENT, or the digits entered do not com-
prise a valid date, the old date is retained (new date
is not stored) and an error message is displayed.
NOTE: After initial power up or loss of power exceed-
ing 24 hours, the time and date will reset to
00:00:00 01/01/90. All event and fault data
will be reset.
If the user presses the UP-ARROW key after viewing
or changing the date, the display shows "TIME:
hh:mm:ss". If the user wishes to change the time, he
enters 6 digits, then presses the ENT key. If the user
presses any key other than ENT, or the digits entered
do not comprise a valid time, the old time is retained
(new time is not stored) and an error message is dis-
played.
6. Relay Test
This category is used to test the relay functions of the
DGP system. After the ENT key is pressed, if the DGP
system is already in Test Mode, the display will show
the current Test Mode selection. When not in Test
Mode the display will show the first item, "END
TEST MODE" (refer to Figure 8-2 for the entire list
of the selection). The user may then select a test or
cancel a test by using the UP-ARROW and DOWN-
ARROW keys followed by the ENT key. The test that
is being displayed is selected for execution by press-
ing the ENT key. When the test is selected, the word
"ON" will be displayed and the pickup of the selected
function will result in the output of the DOR12 con-
tact output. The trip of the selected function will
result in the output of the DOR13 contact output.
The user will be able to monitor only one function at
a time. That is, if a user selects a function to moni-
tor, any previously selected function will no longer be
monitored. Each test function may be selected by
scrolling through the Menu, or entering the test
number and pressing ENT.
To remove the DGP system from test mode, the user
can either press the ARROW keys until "END TEST
MODE" is displayed, then press the ENT key, or
press the [1/Y] key followed by the ENT key twice;
the currently selected function will stop being moni-
tored.
7. MMI Test
This is used to test the display, keyboard, Status LED,
target LEDs and printer. If the user presses the ENT
key, the entire left 8-character display is lit, enabling
the user to verify that all those display LED segments
are working. The right 8-character display prompts
with "NEXT?". If the user presses the [3/N] key fol-
lowed by the ENT key, the next test (testing the right
8-character display) is skipped. If the user presses
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-7
[1/Y] key followed by the ENT key, the right 8-
character display is lit, enabling the user to verify
that all those display LED segments are working.
The left 8-character display prompts with "LED
TST?". If the user presses the [3/N] key followed by
the ENT key, the LED test is skipped. If the user
presses the [1/Y] key followed by the ENT key, the
LED's will be tested. If the green LED is on, it will be
extinguished and the red LED will be lit. If the red
LED is lit, it will be extinguished and the green LED
will be lit. The Target LED's will flash on/off 4
times. Then each Target LED will be lit individually.
When the test is over, the Target LED's will be re-
turned to their original state.
The display then prompts with "KEYBRD TEST?". If
the user presses the [3/N] key followed by the ENT
key, the keyboard test is skipped. If the user presses
the [1/Y] key followed by the ENT key, the keyboard
test is initiated. First the display is blanked and the
user is expected to press keys on the keyboard. The
keys' mnemonics are echoed on the display, enabling
the user to verify that each key is being sensed cor-
rectly. The CLR key terminates the keyboard test.
When the keyboard test is complete (or the user has
skipped the keyboard test), the display prompts with
"PRINTER TEST?". If the user presses the [3/N] key
followed by the ENT key, the printer test is skipped
and the MMI test is terminated. If the user pressed
the [1/Y] key followed by the ENT key, the printer
would be tested in the applicable DGP models. Pat-
terns containing all printable characters (upper and
lower case, and punctuation) would be printed in all
possible columns.
8. Fix Up Settings CRC
This category is used to recalculate the CRC (Cyclic
Redundancy Check) of the settings in non-volatile
memory. This category may be used after the DGP
system has reported an EEPROM failure, indicating
that the stored settings do not match their CRC
code. When using this command, it is imperative
that the user EXAMINE EVERY SETTING IN THE
DGP SYSTEM to assure that each setting is still cor-
rect, before performing the END/ENT key sequence
to resume Protection (see SERVICING section).
After the ENT key is pressed, the display prompts the
user with the message "RECALC CRC?". If the user
presses the [3/N] key, the message "CANCELLED"
appears on the display and no action is taken. If the
user presses the [1/Y] key, two checks are performed:
privilege level must be Setting or Control level, and
Communication must not be in the process of chang-
ing settings. If the checks fail, then an error message
is displayed and the action is not performed. If the
checks pass, then the setting's CRC code is recalcu-
lated, the message "CHECK SETTINGS" appears on
the display, and the event "LOCAL - SETTINGS
CHANGE DONE" is logged in the sequence of events.
Once the setting's CRC code has been calculated and
EVERY DGP SETTING HAS BEEN EXAMINED,
then the user must press the END key and the ENT
key to resume Protection.
9. Enter Password
This category is used to enter the MMI password that
activates one of the two areas of input. The first area
of input allows the user to change settings (Settings
Level). The second area of input allows the user to
access control actions (Control Level). The privilege
level reverts back to View Level when the MMI be-
comes idle, either by using the END key or if the
MMI is allowed to time out (15 min.). When the
privilege level is View, values can be viewed but none
can be changed.
After the ENT key is pressed, the display prompts the
user with the message "ENTER PASSWORD". The
user responds by pressing digit keys that represent
the password. The digits are echoed with "*". The
user then presses the ENT key, which displays
"SELECTED" if the password was valid or
"REQUEST INVALID" if it was not. MMI privilege is
set to the level associated with the selected password.
10. Change Password
This category is used to change the password that is
currently in effect. A password becomes effective
through selection of Enter Password in this category.
After the ENT key is pressed, the display prompts the
user with the message "NEW PASSWORD". The user
presses digit keys that represent the new password.
The digits are echoed with "*". The user then
presses the ENT key and he is prompted with the
message "REPEAT". The user must enter the new
password again, then press the ENT key. If the two
entered passwords are exactly the same, then the
message "CHANGED" is displayed. If they are not
the same, then "NOT CHANGED" message is dis-
played and the old password remains selected.
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-8
11. Digital Output Test
This category is used to test digital outputs of the
DGP system.
After the ENT key is pressed, the display will show
the first item, "END TEST MODE", in the menu as
shown in Figure 8-2. The user may then select a test
from the menu by using the ARROW keys, followed
by the ENT key.
Note: At this point the privilege level must be Control
level. If the privilege level is wrong, then an error
message is displayed and the test is not performed.
If outputs are enabled, then the user must indicate if
he wants to disable protection. The message
"DISABLE PROT?" is displayed. The user presses
[1/Y] for YES or [3/N] for NO followed by ENTER.
If the user indicated NO, then the message
CANCELLED is displayed and test selection is
stopped. If user indicated YES, then the test name
will be redisplayed. The word "ON" will also be
shown in the rightmost two characters of the display
and the test will be performed.
To stop the digital output test, and re-enable protec-
tion, the user presses the ARROW keys until "END
TEST MODE" is displayed, then press the ENT key.
The user can also stop the test by pressing END ENT
key sequence, which ends the DGP session.
The available digital output tests are shown in Figure
8-2.
INFORMATION Key (INF)
The INF key is used to request information. The 8
categories are listed below. The names displayed at
the MMI are in parentheses. The categories can be
scrolled through, using the ARROW keys. For con-
venience, however, each category is also assigned a
number so that the user may go directly to the cate-
gory he wants.
The key sequence for requesting information is: INF
n [ENT]
n = 1: Status Info (STATUS)
2: Fault Info (FAULT)
3: Present Values (VALUES)
4: Events (EVENTS)
5: Password (PASSWORD)
6: Model (MODEL)
7: Station Id (STATION ID)
8: Generator Id (GENERATOR ID)
"n" is the optional category number; if omitted, cate-
gory 1 is assumed. See Figure 8-3 for details of the
INF key menu structure.
1. Request DGP Status
This category is used to display the present status of
the DGP system (see SERVICING section).
If the user presses the ENT key, the first item dis-
played is the overall status of the DGP system. If the
DGP system is working properly and protecting the
generator, the display will be "STATUS: OK". If
there is a critical failure, the display will be
"STATUS: FAIL". If there is a non-critical failure,
the display will be "STATUS: WARN". If the DGP
hardware is working properly, there may be miscella-
neous status, displayed under the heading "STATUS:
MISC". The above order is the order in which the
overall status will be displayed. For example, if there
is a critical alarm and a non-critical alarm the display
will be "STATUS: FAIL", indicating the critical
alarm.
The user may use the arrow keys for further informa-
tion if the status is a critical failure, a non-critical
failure, or not protecting the generator.
2. Request Fault Information
This category is used to display (or print in applica-
ble models) information associated with any of the
last 3 faults that the DGP system has stored.
When the ENT key is pressed, the display will ask
"FAULT #?". The user presses a digit (1 to 3), then
presses the ENT key. (NOTE: 1 = most recent fault,
2 = second most recent fault, etc.). If there is no
valid fault information available for that fault, the
message "NO FAULT DATA" will be displayed. If the
user presses any number not between 1 and 3, an er-
ror message is displayed.
The first item of the fault occurrence chosen is dis-
played as "DATE: xx/xx/xx". Repeatedly pressing
the UP-ARROW key will invoke the following dis-
plays:
DATE: xx/xx/xx
TIME: xx:xx:xx
OP TIME: xx (time in ms)
FAULT TYPE: xxx (examples: ABC,AB,AC)
TRIP TYPE: xxx (see list below)
A more complete fault report can be obtained by us-
ing DGP-LINK. See the SOFTWARE section for de-
tails.
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-9
NOTE: OP TIME is the time difference between any
protection function pickup and any protec-
tion function trip, as long as all protection
functions do not drop out simultaneously.
The OP TIME counter will reset if all pro-
tection functions are reset at the same time.
The abbreviations for the trip and trigger types are as
follows:
87G 40-2 24A 81-1O VTFF 27TN
46A 32-1 24I 81-2O AE DI3
46T 51V 24T 81-1U 51GN DI4
40-1 64G1 59 81-2U 27
3. Request Present Values
This category is used to display the present analog
values and the status of the contact inputs that the
DGP system is monitoring.
If the user presses the ENT key, the first item is dis-
played as "IAS = xxx.xx". Pressing the UP-ARROW
key will produce "ANGLE IAS = xxx.xx" on the dis-
play, etc. Continuing to press the UP-ARROW key
will display each of the quantities shown in Figure 8-
3 under the VALUES menu item.
The values are periodically updated while on display.
4. Request Events
This category is used to print Sequence-of-Events in-
formation in the applicable DGP models.
5. View Password
This category is used to view the remote communica-
tion passwords in encrypted form.
If the user presses the ENTER key, a check is made to
verify that Communication is not in the process of
changing the passwords. If the check fails, then an
error message is displayed and the action is not per-
formed. If the check passes, then the word VIEW is
displayed. Pressing the UP ARROW key displays the
View level password. Pressing the UP-ARROW re-
peatedly displays the word SETTING, then the Set-
ting level password; finally the word CONTROL, fol-
lowed by the Control level password, and back to the
word VIEW. All passwords are displayed in encrypted
form.
6. Request DGP Model/Version
This category is used to display the DGP model
number and the PROM version number.
If the user presses the ENT key, the model number
will be displayed as "MD:DGPxxxxxxxxx". Pressing
the UP-ARROW key will display the PROM version
number as "VER:Vxxxxxxxxxx".
7. Station Id
This category is used to view the 32-character Station
Id string that was downloaded by the Remote Com-
munication link. Station Id is included in all of the
DGP system reports via DGP-LINK. See the
SOFTWARE section for details.
If the user presses the ENTER key, the first 16 char-
acters of the Station Id are displayed. Pressing the
UP- or DOWN-ARROW displays the next 16 charac-
ters of the Station Id.
8. Generator Id
This category is used to view the 32-character Gen-
erator Id string that was downloaded by the Remote
Comm. Generator Id is included in all of the DGP
system reports via DGP-LINK. See the SOFTWARE
section for details.
If the user presses the ENTER key, the first 16 char-
acters of the Generator Id are displayed. Pressing the
UP- or DOWN-ARROW displays the next 16 charac-
ters of the Generator Id.
ERROR MESSAGES
If the user enters a wrong response (either data or a
choice), an error message will be displayed. See Ta-
ble 8-1 for a list of the error messages.
If the setting's CRC code has become corrupted, cer-
tain MMI functions will become unavailable. When-
ever the error occurs, the user will not be able to
change any settings (although the settings can still
be viewed). If the error occurs during startup, the
user will not be able to perform any of the Action
commands except recalculate the CRC. Once the
setting's CRC has been recalculated by issuing the
COMPUTE CRC command, the user will be able to
perform the Action commands and change settings.
The CRC code is a Cyclic Redundancy Check value
stored in memory that is automatically set up when-
ever a setting is changed. This CRC code enables the
EEPROM Self Test to verify the integrity of the set-
tings area in EEPROM.

8-2 REMOTE COMMUNICATION
INTERFACE
HARDWARE JUMPERS
There are two factory-installed hardware jumpers in
the MMI module set to inhibit the ability to perform
the Remote Manual Trip function, the Remote
Change Settings function, the Remote Disable Out-
puts function, and the Remote Enable Outputs func-
tion. These hardware jumpers must be removed if
the above remote functions are to be allowed. (see
Figure 3-5 of the HARDWARE section)
MODEM CONNECTIONS AND
SETTINGS
When establishing communication between the DGP
system and a remote PC, two modems connected via
a phone line are required; one modem is located at
the DGP system and the other modem is located at
the PC. The cable that connects the modem with
either the DGP system or the PC is shown in Figure 8-
4B. Each of these modems must be "Hayes-
compatible". This is necessary since the DGP-LINK
communications software that runs on the PC sends
a Hayes-compatible command string to the modem
located at the PC. The DGP system does not send
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-12
any configuration commands to its modem. Both,
the DGP modem and the PC modem must be
uniquely configured to permit the user to log into
and communicate with the DGP system using DGP-
LINK software.
The required configuration settings are presented as
changes to the factory-default configuration settings
for a Hayes SmartModem. These default settings are:
B1 &C0 S0=0 S37=0
E1 &D0 S6=2 S38=20
L2 &G0 S7=30
M1 &J0 S8=2
N1 &K3 S9=6
P &L0 S10=14
Q0 &P0 S11=95
V1 &Q5 S12=50
W0 &R0 S18=0
X4 &S0 S25=5
Y0 &T4 S26=1
&X0 S36=1
Other "Hayes-compatible" modems may implement a
subset of the full Hayes command set. It is the re-
sponsibility of the user to ascertain the exact com-
mands accepted by a particular modem. The proper
syntax for entering the Hayes-compatible commands
(sometimes referred to as the "AT" command set) is
not described here. Refer to the manual of your mo-
dem for an explanation of this syntax.
PC Modem
The PC modem must be configured for "intelligent"
operation (i.e., command recognition enabled).
The default settings listed above are valid for DGP-
LINK. Those configuration settings critical to the
operation of DGP-LINK are changed by DGP-LINK.
The configuration commands sent to the modem
from DGP-LINK are:
+++ (set modem to command mode)
(delay 2 seconds)
ATE0L0Q0S7=60V0X4Y0 (see explanation be-
low)
Command explanation:
AT Modem attention command
E0 Disable command state echo
L0 Low speaker volume
Q0 Modem returns result codes
V0 Result codes returned in numeric form
X4 Enables features represented by result codes
Y0 Disable long space disconnect
S7=60 Allows modem to hang up if connection is
not made within 60 sec.
If all of the above commands are not programmable,
then the modem may not operate properly. In addi-
tion to the required configuration settings listed
above, it is suggested that two other settings be made
by the user. These are:
&D3 Causes the modem to reset on the ON-to-OFF
transition of DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
&C1 Causes DCD (Data Carrier Detect) to track the
received carrier signal
The modem will operate properly without making
these two settings but the modem will not hang up if
the appropriate handshaking signal is lost.
A DGP-LINK setting establishes the baud rate, which
must match the baud-rate setting of the DGP system.
DGP-LINK will then set the specified PC serial port
(i.e., COM1, COM2) to the proper baud rate, parity,
databits, and stopbits. If the PC modem is capable of
operating at more than one baud rate, then it must
be able to automatically configure its baud rate,
character length, and parity setting by examining
the "AT" command prefix.
DGP Modem
The DGP modem must be configured for "dumb"
operation (i.e., command recognition disabled).
Since the DGP system does not send any configura-
tion commands to its modem, the required configu-
ration settings must be made prior to connecting the
modem to the DGP system. Additionally, the mo-
dem must be initialized to the required configura-
tion settings each time modem power is turned OFF
and then ON. Depending on the design of the mo-
dem this is accomplished by making all the required
settings via switches or saving the settings in non-
volatile memory.
The required configuration settings are:
E0 Disable command state echo
L0 Low speaker volume
Q1 Disable result code display
&C1 Causes DCD (Data Carrier Detect) to track the
received carrier signal
&D3 Causes the modem to reset on the ON-to-OFF
transition of DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
&Q0 Asynchronous mode
S0=1 Enable auto-answer
GEK-100666 Chapter 8 - Interface
8-13
If any of the above settings cannot be implemented,
the modem may not answer, the DGP system may not
connect properly, or the user may not be able to log
into the DGP system.
With a Hayes SmartModem or equivalent, the DGP
modem will perform a modulation handshake with
the PC modem to set the baud rate of the DGP mo-
dem. The default setting of "N1" permits handshak-
ing to occur at any baud rate supported by both mo-
dems. This is one reason why it is preferable to use
identical modems at each end.
Note that auto-answering is controlled with register
S0. S0=0 disables auto-answer. S0=1 will cause the
DGP modem to answer the incoming call after one
ring. S0 can be set for any value between 1 and 255,
for the Hayes modem assumed here, if it is desirable
to delay modem answering. Note that DGP-LINK
(version 1.05 or higher) configures the PC modem
to wait 60 seconds for the DGP modem to answer. If
the DGP modem register S0 is set higher than 12, the
PC modem may time out and hang up before the
DGP modem can answer. S0=12 means that the DGP
modem will answer after twelve rings and corre-
sponds approximately to the 60 second delay (S7=60)
at the PC modem; however the user should verify the
number of rings that correspond to 60 seconds for a
particular application.
NULL MODEM CONNECTIONS
A PC can be connected to a DGP system without the
intervening modems and phone line by using a spe-
cial cable called a "null modem" cable. The required
pin-to-pin connections for this null modem cable are
shown in Figure 8-4C. The pin-to-pin connections
for a null modem cable to connector COMM on the
MMI are shown in Figure 8-4D. Neither null modem
cable should exceed 50 feet in length.

9-1 OVERVIEW
DGP Link provides a convenience way of direct-link
or remote-link (via modem) interface to the relay
using a personal computer (PC). It also provides ac-
cess to some settings in the relay that otherwise,
could not be done on the MMI kaypad.
9-2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Hardware
The minimum PC hardware requirements consists of
the following components. An IBM PC or compati-
ble with at least one serial port, a minimum of 500K
bytes of free memory (RAM) to run the program in,
and one of the printers described below for printing
reports.
Software
Requires DOS 3.1 or above for the PC operating sys-
tem.
9-3 INSTALLATION
Insert DGP-LINK diskette into drive A. At the A:>\
prompt, type INSTALL followed by an ENTER. To
run the software, type DGP-LINK followed by an
ENTER.
9-4 GENERAL OPERATION
Protection Jumpers
In order to have complete remote control of the unit,
the factory-installed jumpers, J1 and J2 of the MMI
module must be removed. Installing J1 disables re-
mote closing of all of the output relays. Installing J2
will disable all remote setting changes and the dis-
able/enable of outputs (see Figure 3-5 in the
HARDWARE section).
Main Horizontal Menu Bar
Items in the main horizontal menu are selected in
one of three ways:
1. Position the mouse cursor on top of the menu
item and click the left button.
2. Use a hot key. The hot key is the combination of
the ALT key and the letter that is highlighted in
the item description (blue).
3. Once either of the above methods has been used
to select an item on the menu, indicated by one
item being highlighted, the RIGHT and LEFT
ARROW keys can be used to go to adjacent menu
items. If the menu is not visible just below the
highlighted item on the menu bar, use the DOWN
ARROW key to display the menu.
Pull-Down Menus
Pull-down menu items are selected in a number of
ways:
Mouse
Position the mouse cursor on top of the menu item,
then click on the left mouse button to display the
pull-down menu. If the user wishes to select an item
in the pull-down menu, position the mouse over the
desired item and click on the left mouse button.
Both may be done at once by positioning the cursor
over the menu item on the menu bar and holding
the left mouse button down, moving the mouse cur-
sor to the desired entry, and then releasing the
mouse button.
Keyboard
Activating the "hot key" is the combination of hold-
ing the ALT key and striking the highlighted key.
Using a hot key will activate the associated menu or
dialog box. If there is no hot key for a desired menu
item, use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to high-
light the desired item, then press the ENTER key.
Pressing the ENTER key will activate the associated
menu or dialog box.
Dialog Boxes
Dialog boxes are generally characterized by a title
bar, a grey box, and OK and CANCEL buttons. The
dialog box cannot be moved, resized, or iconized. In
addition, when a dialog box is displayed, the user
can only access items in the dialog box, not any other
items on the screen.
If an item in the dialog box has a title with a high-
lighted character (blue in the default color scheme),
the user can access this item from the keyboard by
using the ALT key with the highlighted character
(the hot key). Items in a dialog box can also be ac-
GEK-100666 Chapter 9 - DGP-LINK software
9-4
cessed from the keyboard by using the cursor keys:
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys, PAGE
UP/DOWN keys and the TAB/SHIFT TAB keys. In
any dialog box the TAB key will move sequentially in
one direction, or the SHIFT TAB key in the opposite
direction, selecting items in the dialog box with each
keystroke. The other cursor keys will generally move
within a selected item.
Buttons in the dialog box can be selected from the
keyboard by using the UP/DOWN ARROW keys, the
TAB/SHIFT TAB keys, or, if the button has a high-
lighted character, the hot key.
To exit from the dialog box and clear it from the
screen, the user selects either the OK button or the
CANCEL button. The mouse can be used to select
these buttons by moving the mouse cursor over the
button and clicking the left mouse button. In addi-
tion, the keyboard can be used to select these buttons
by using their hot keys. The hot key for the OK but-
ton is ALT-O and the hot key for the CANCEL but-
ton is ALT-C.
The mouse can be used to select any item in a dialog
box by pointing it at the desired item and clicking on
it with the left button.
The OK button accepts the selection(s) made by the
user. The CANCEL button cancels the present selec-
tion. Any highlighted button can be selected by
striking the ENTER key.
List Boxes
A list box is another box within a dialog box that lists
all choices for an item in the dialog box (for exam-
ple, a list of file names). If the list of available entries
is longer than the displayed list box, the list box has a
vertical scroll bar that allows the user to scroll
through the list.
The following table lists the valid keys and their
functions for list boxes:
UP ARROW Move up one selection.
DOWN ARROW Move down one selection.
PAGE UP Move up one page of selections.
PAGE DOWN Move down one page of selections.
HOME Move to the first selection.
END Move to the last selection.
RETURN Accept the current selection and
exit the list box.
ALT-X Exit the list box without making a
selection.
Entering Text and Numbers
The following keys are used when entering and edit-
ing text and numbers.
LEFT ARROW Move the cursor one character to
the left.
RIGHT ARROW Move the cursor one character to
the right.
DELETE Delete the character at the cursor.
BACKSPACE Delete the character to the left of
the cursor.
INSERT Toggle between the insert and
overwrite mode.
Overwrite mode is indicated by an
underscore-character cursor.
Insert mode is indicated by a
block-character cursor.
ENTER Accept the text or number in the
field/box
ESCAPE Clear the text or number in the
field/box.

Login
Login is used to gain access to the relay. When log-
ging into a DGP system for the first time, the user
must use the factory password. When a user is logged
in under the factory password, the only commands
that can be used at the PC are those to change the
password and to log out. The factory password is
changed to the user's password by selecting the
change Password menu item from the Actions menu
item from the Relay functions pull-down menu. The
current password is the factory password and the new
password is the user's password. The encoded Com-
munications password can only be viewed locally, on
the MMI.
The Login dialog box contains a list of the currently
configured DGP systems, a place to enter the pass-
word, a place to enter the unit ID, a button for add-
ing a new DGP system to the configured DGP list, an
OK button and a CANCEL button.
The list of currently configured DGP systems con-
tains the unit description, phone number, baud rate,
and multiplexor switch code for each DGP system.
The NEW RELAY button in the dialog box allows the
user to add a relay that has not been previously en-
tered into the list of configured relays. The user en-
ters the unit description, the phone number, the
multiplexor switch code, and the baud rate for the
new relay. The new relay is added to the list of con-
figured relays.
Once a relay is selected from the list of relays, the
user is asked for the password and the unit ID. Once
this information is entered, the user selects the OK
button to log in to the relay. Any of the three pass-
words for Communications can be used to log in to
the relay. (See PASSWORDS in the INTERFACE
section.) The password used will determine the ac-
cess level when the login procedure is complete. For
example, if settings changes will be performed, then
the password could be the Settings access password.
Another method of logging in would be to use the
View access password to log into the DGP system, and
change the access level when settings changes are
needed. See Change access level below for more in-
formation.
Note: If an incorrect password is entered on three
consecutive tries using DGP-LINK, the MMI will
show: "WARN 60" and the 74NC relay will oper-
ate. To remove this condition, the user must
log in and log out correctly, using DGP-LINK.
lOgout
Logout disables access to the relay. A check is made
to determine the status of protection at the DGP sys-
tem (ON or OFF). The status is displayed in the dia-
log box. Selecting the OK button logs out of the re-
lay. Selecting the CANCEL button leaves the user
logged in to the relay. If the status of protection is
OFF due to a setting change that was not ended, pick
the CANCEL button and choose End settings change
in Settings in the Relay Functions menu.
Change access level
Change access level allows the user to enter another
password so that the settings can be changed or ac-
tions can be performed.
To choose Change access level, move the mouse cur-
sor to the item and click on it with the left mouse
button or use the hot key ALT-C. A dialog box will
appear, with space to enter a password. Once the
level has been changed, the new level will be dis-
played at the bottom of the screen. The following
table contains operations performed by DGP-LINK
and the associated password level required to per-
form the operation. All settings can be viewed at any
level, but only changed with the Settings access level
displayed.

change Password
This item allows the user to change the password in
the DGP system. The valid password characters are A
to Z, 0 to 9, and space. The factory password con-
tains one or more characters that are not valid. The
Communications password can only be viewed on the
MMI, in encrypted form, therefore it is
IMPORTANT that the user keep a record of the
password in a safe place.
First, the user must enter the present password. If
the entered password is valid, the user must then en-
ter the new password. If the new password is valid,
the user must enter the identical new password
again. The user selects the OK button; this does not
yet cause the password to be changed. Next, the user
is asked to confirm the change. If the user selects the
OK button, the password is changed.
Manual trip
This item allows the user to operate the output relays
manually. Each of the four output relays (94G-
94G3) being controlled by the DGP system can be
operated individually. Note that the relays cannot be
operated if the appropriate jumper is installed (see
Figure 3-5 in the HARDWARE section for the loca-
tion and description of the jumpers). To select
Manual trip, use the hot key ALT-(M) or click on the
menu item with the left mouse button.
The user selects the output relay to trip by using the
UP and DOWN ARROW keys or clicking on the se-
lection with the left mouse button. When the user
selects the OK button and an output relay is selected,
the user is asked to confirm the action. If the user
selects the OK button, the relay is operated and the
user is returned to the previous screen.
Enable outputs
This item allows the user to permit the DGP system
to energize the relay outputs. Note that the digital
outputs cannot be enabled remotely if the appropri-
ate jumper is installed (see Figure 3-5 in the
HARDWARE section for the location and descrip-
tion of the jumpers on the MMI module). This item
is selected by using the ALT-E hot key or clicking on
the menu item with the left mouse button.
If the user selects the OK button, another dialog box
is displayed to confirm the action. If the user selects
the OK button again, the outputs are enabled.
Disable outputs
This item allows the user to inhibit the DGP system
from energizing any of the relay outputs except for
the Critical Alarm output, the Non-critical Alarm
output, the Test Pickup output, and the Test Trip
output. Note that the digital outputs cannot be dis-
abled if the appropriate jumper is installed (see Fig-
ure 3-5 of the HARDWARE section for the location
and description of the jumpers). This item is se-
lected by using the ALT-D hot key or clicking on the
menu item with the left mouse button.
If the user selects the OK button, another dialog box
is displayed to confirm the action. If the user selects
the OK button again, the outputs are disabled.
change Time and date
This item allows the user to set the time and date in
the DGP system to the current time and date.
Changing the time and date through this menu does
not affect the time and date in the PC.
First the DGP system's current time and date is dis-
played. The time is displayed in the 24-hour format
HH:MM:SS. The date is displayed in the format
MM/DD/YY. The user may then edit the time and
date.
When the user selects the OK button, the user is
asked to confirm the action. If the user selects the
OK button again, the time and date are changed in
the DGP system.
change station/Generator id
This dialog box displays the station and generator ID
for the relay to which the user is logged in. The IDs
can be up to 32 characters long and must be all
printable characters. To change an ID, select the
desired ID with the TAB key or click on it with the
left mouse button. Once the correct ID has been se-
GEK-100666 Chapter 9 - DGP-LINK software
9-7
lected, use the insert, delete and backspace keys to
edit and enter data. After the correct data has been
entered, select the OK button by clicking on it with
the left mouse button or using the ALT-O hot key.
The user will be asked to confirm the IDs before
sending them to the DGP system. Selecting the OK
button again will send the IDs to the DGP system.
cAlculate CRC
This item allows the user to recalculate the settings
CRC code in non-volatile RAM. cAlculate CRC is
selected by using the ALT-A hot key or clicking on
the menu item with the left mouse button. Once
cAlculate CRC has been chosen, a dialog box will be
displayed. The dialog box contains only the OK and
CANCEL buttons.
If the OK button is selected, the user is asked to con-
firm the action with another dialog box. If the user
selects the OK button again, the settings CRC code is
recalculated and all the settings are sent back to the
PC. In addition, a message is displayed telling the
user to verify all settings.
Relay test mode
This item allows the user to test the relay functions of
the DGP system. Relay test mode is selected with the
ALT-R hot key or by placing the mouse cursor over
the menu item and clicking on the left mouse but-
ton. Once Relay test mode has been selected, the test
functions are displayed in a list box. To find the de-
sired test, use the PAGE UP/DOWN and UP/DOWN
ARROW keys or use the mouse on the scroll bar.
The user selects the desired test function to perform
by clicking on it with the left mouse button, or hit-
ting the ENTER key once the correct test has been
highlighted. If the user selects the OK button, an-
other dialog box will be displayed to confirm the test.
If the user again selects the OK button, the relay en-
ters the selected test mode.
To put the relay back in operating mode, select the
"End test mode" from the list of tests.
digital Output test
This item allows the user to perform digital output
tests in the relay. The tests are displayed in a list box.
The user selects the test to perform. When the user
selects the OK button, the user is asked to confirm
the test. If the user again selects the OK button, the
test is performed. This will put the relay in test
mode. To put the relay back in operating mode, the
user executes "End test mode".
data reSet
This item allows the user to reset various data items
contained in the relay. The data items are displayed
in a list box.
The user selects the data item to reset by using the
UP/DOWN ARROW keys or clicking on the data re-
Set selection with the left mouse button.
When the user selects the OK button after a data
item has been selected, the user is asked to confirm
the action. If the user selects the OK button, the se-
lected data reSet item is cleared from the relay and
the user is returned to the previous screen.
