the same data rate. UR-series IEDs equipped with dual-channel communications cards apply the same data rate to both
channels. Delivery time for direct input/output messages is approximately 0.2 of a power system cycle at 128 kbps and 0.4
of a power system cycle at 64 kbps, per each 'bridge'.
The G.703 and RS422 modules are fixed at 64 kbps only. The

over messages from Channel 1 to Channel 2. This places all UR-series IEDs into one direct input/output network regard-
less of the physical media of the two communication channels.
The following application examples illustrate the basic concepts for direct input/output configuration. Please refer to the
Inputs/Outputs section in this chapter for information on configuring FlexLogic™ operands (flags, bits) to be exchanged.
EXAMPLE 1: EXTENDING THE INPUT/OUTPUT CAPABILITIES OF A UR-SERIES RELAY
Consider an application that requires additional quantities of digital inputs and/or output contacts and/or lines of program-
mable logic that exceed the capabilities of a single UR-series chassis. The problem is solved by adding an extra UR-series
IED, such as the C30, to satisfy the additional input/output and programmable logic requirements. The two IEDs are con-
nected via single-channel digital communication cards as shown in the figure below.

In the above application, the following settings should be applied:

UR IED 2:

The message delivery time is about 0.2 of power cycle in both ways (at 128 kbps); i.e., from Device 1 to Device 2, and from
Device 2 to Device 1. Different communications cards can be selected by the user for this back-to-back connection (fiber,
G.703, or RS422).
EXAMPLE 2: INTERLOCKING BUSBAR PROTECTION
A simple interlocking busbar protection scheme could be accomplished by sending a blocking signal from downstream
devices, say 2, 3, and 4, to the upstream device that monitors a single incomer of the busbar, as shown below.
