SETTING CHANGES

All the IED settings are 4xxxx page addresses. The following points should be noted when changing settings:
Settings implemented using multiple registers must be written to using a multi-register write operation.
●
● The first address for a multi-register write must be a valid address. If there are unmapped addresses within
the range being written to, the data associated with these addresses will be discarded.
● If a write operation is performed with values that are out of range, the illegal data response will be
produced. Valid setting values within the same write operation will be executed.
If a write operation is performed, which attempts to change registers requiring a higher level of password
●
access than is currently enabled then all setting changes in the write operation will be discarded.
6.4.8

PASSWORD PROTECTION

The following registers are available to control password protection:
Password entry
Setting to change password level 1 (4 character)
Setting to change password level 1 (8 character)
Setting to change password level 2
Setting to change password level 3
Can be read to indicate current access level
6.4.9

PROTECTION AND DISTURBANCE RECORDER SETTINGS

Setting changes to either of these areas are stored in a scratchpad area and will not be used by the IED unless
confirmed. Register 40405 can be used either to confirm or abort the setting changes within the scratchpad area.
The IED supports four groups of protection settings. The MODBUS addresses for each of the four groups are
repeated within the following address ranges.
Group 1: 4x1000 - 4x2999
●
Group 2: 4x3000 - 4x4999
●
Group 3: 4x5000 - 4x6999
●
● Group 4: 4x7000 - 4x8999
In addition to the basic editing of the protection setting groups, the following functions are provided:
Default values can be restored to a setting group or to all of the relay settings by writing to register 4x0402.
●
It is possible to copy the contents of one setting group to another by writing the source group to register
●
40406 and the target group to 4x0407.
The setting changes performed by either of the two operations defined above are made to the scratchpad area.
These changes must be confirmed by writing to register 4x0405.
The active protection setting groups can be selected by writing to register 40404. An illegal data response will be
returned if an attempt is made to set the active group to one that has been disabled.
360
An attempt was made by the master station to automatically select the next oldest unextracted
disturbance when all records have been extracted.
The master station issued a command to the relay that was not expected during the extraction process.
