7SR224 Argus Commissioning & Maintenance Guide Section 4: Control & Logic Functions Autoreclose (79) Autoreclose sequences can be specified differently for Phase, Earth, Externally Initiated and SEF faults. Sequences should be simulated for each applicable different fault type with the actual relay settings required for service installed in the relay.
7SR224 Argus Commissioning & Maintenance Guide Repeat the reduction of Bus and Line voltages to check the pickup and drop off of the Bus Undervolts, Line Undervolts and Voltage Diff settings, if enabled. Outputs signals are available in the Output Matrix to allow leds or Binary Outputs to be allocated to these functions.
7SR224 Argus Commissioning & Maintenance Guide The time stamped Events listing can be downloaded from the relay to a PC to allow diagnosis of the sequence including measurements of sequence Dead Times and other timing without the use of external measuring equipment or complex connections.
Relay failure will be indicated by the ‘Protection Healthy’ LED being off or flashing. A message may also be displayed on the LCD. In the event of failure contact the local Siemens office or the manufacturer – see defect report sheet in section 5.3.
If the above checklist does not help in correcting the problem please contact the local Siemens office or contact PTD 24hr Customer Support, Tel: +49 180 524 7000, Fax: +49 180 524 2471, e-mail: support.energy@siemens.com.

7SR224 Argus Commissioning & Maintenance Guide Section 6: Relay Software Upgrade Instructions General Please read thoroughly all of the instructions supplied with the firmware upgrade before starting the download process. • If you are loading firmware into a product that is already installed on site then follow the instructions in section 2, 3 and 4.
7SR224 Argus Commissioning & Maintenance Guide 6.2.4 Things To Do Before Loading New Firmware/Software Ensure that a secure copy of relay settings is available as all settings will be lost during the code upload process. A hard copy is useful for checking purposes. It is usually possible to download the existing settings into Reydisp Evolution, save the file and then reload these settings into the relay following the upgrade.
7SR224 Argus Commissioning & Maintenance Guide 6.3.1 Solving Software Upload Problems The relay will auto detect the download baud rate and will use whatever baud rate set within Reyfresh. However the default and maximum baud rate of 460800 bits/sec is preferred The download procedure has been tested on Windows 98, NT and XP.

Alarm and Tripping Inputs A common use of binary inputs is to use the 7SR224 to provide indication of alarm or fault conditions from an external device which does not itself provide indication or recording facilities. The Binary Inputs are mapped to LED(s), waveform storage trigger and binary outputs.
This lower level of sensitivity is easily achieved by Derived Earth Fault protection which uses the calculated sum of the three phase currents as its operating quantity. The 7SR224 provides this feature by allowing the 50/51G Measured earth fault elements to alternatively use a calculated quantity whilst the 50/51SEF elements use the I measured quantity.
The calculation of the value of the Stability Resistor is based on the worst case where one CT fully saturates and the other balancing CT does not saturate at all. A separate Siemens Protection Devices Limited Publication is available covering the calculation procedure for REF protection. To summarise this: The relay Stability (operating) Vs voltage is calculated using worst case lead burden to avoid relay operation for through-fault conditions where one of the CTs may be fully saturated.
7SR224 Argus Applications Synchronising The 7SR224 includes an optional Synchronising function which can be incorporated into the autoreclose and manual close sequences. The device provides a combined check and system synchronising function which can automatically select check or system synchronise, as appropriate, from measurements of the relative phase angles between the line and bus voltages.
