EVENTS: Disabled The B90 supports password entry from a local or remote connection. Local access is defined as access to settings or commands via the front panel. This includes both keypad entry and the RS232 port. Remote access is defined as access to settings or commands via any rear communications port. This includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections.
Page 199
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the corresponding connection password. If the connection is to the back of the B90, the remote password must be used. If the connection is to the RS232 port of the front panel, the local password must be used.

NUMBER: 0 The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) can be used to transfer files from the B90 over a network. The B90 operates as a TFTP server. TFTP client software is available from various sources, including Microsoft Windows NT. The dir.txt file obtained from the B90 contains a list and description of all available files, for example event records and oscillography.

FlexAnalog operands. The measurands sent are voltage, current, power, power factor, and frequency. If any other FlexAnalog is chosen, the B90 sends 0 instead of its value. Note that the power is transmitted in KW, not W. Measurands are transmitted as ASDU 3 or ASDU 9 (type identification value set to measurands I, respectively measurands II).
Page 290
Commands are received as General Command (Type Identification 20). The user can configure the action to perform when an ASDU command comes. A list of available mappings is provided on the B90. This includes 64 virtual inputs (see the following table). The ON and OFF for the same ASDU command can be mapped to different virtual inputs.

Setup for IRIG-B is illustrated in the Installation chapter. For the Other protocols, whenever a time synchronization message is received through any of the active protocols, the B90 clock updates. However, given that IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, and DNP are low-accuracy time synchronization methods, avoid their use for synchronization when better accuracy time protocols, such as IRIG-B and PTP, are active in the system.

See the Order Codes section in chapter 2 for details. The B90 supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) specified in IEEE Std 1588 2008 using the Power Profile (PP) specified in IEEE Std C37.238 2011. This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet network that implements PP.

Bus protection zone discrimination depends heavily on reliable isolator position feedback. Therefore, two isolator auxiliary contacts – normally open and normally closed – must confirm the status of the isolator via the B90 contact inputs.

9.2.1 Dynamic bus replica mechanism The bus differential zones of the B90 allow for protecting bus sections that include circuits that are switchable between different sections. Proper relay operation is achieved by associating a status signal with each input current. This mechanism is referred to as a dynamic bus replica.
Figure 9-2: Biased operating characteristic The higher slope used by the B90 acts as an actual percentage bias regardless of the value of the restraining signal. This is so because the boundary of the operating characteristic in the higher slope region is a straight line intersecting the origin of the ‘differential - restraining’...
LOW BPNT 9.3.3 Enhanced security To enhance the performance of the B90, the differential characteristic is divided into two regions having diverse operating modes, as shown in following figure. The first region applies to comparatively low differential currents and has been introduced to deal with CT saturation on low-current external faults.
9.4 Directional principle 9.4.1 Current directional protection For better security, the B90 uses the current directional protection principle to dynamically supervise the main current differential function. The directional principle is in effect permanently for low differential currents (region 1 in the Two Regions of Differential Characteristic figure) and is switched on dynamically for large differential currents (region 2 in the same figure) by the saturation detector (see the Saturation Detector section) upon detecting CT saturation.
9.5.1 CT saturation detection The saturation detector of the B90 takes advantage of the fact that any CT operates correctly for a short period of time, even under very large primary currents that would subsequently cause a very deep saturation. As a result, in the case of an external fault, the differential current stays very low during the initial period of linear operation of the CTs while the B90 LOW IMPEDANCE BUS DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM –...
Page 444
This must be kept in mind when setting the characteristic as its parameters must retain their original meaning. The operation of the saturation detector is available as the FlexLogic operand BUS 1(4) SAT A/B/C. B90 LOW IMPEDANCE BUS DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
For high differential signals, the directional principle is included only if demanded by the saturation detector (dynamic 1- out-of-2 / 2-out-of-2 mode). Typically, the directional principle is slower, and by avoiding using it when possible, the B90 gains speed.
The first of the following figures presents the bus currents and the most important logic signals for the case of an external fault. Despite very fast and severe CT saturation, the B90 remains stable. The second figure presents the same signals but for the case of an internal fault. The B90 trips in 10 ms (fast form-C output contact).
