Page 54: Distance Protection Z
If impedance is inside the tripping zone (normally presented in R-X plane), the distance function operates. In short circuit faults there are 3 possible fault loops. The VAMP distance protection function calculates the impedances of the fault loops continuously and thus separate pick-up conditions are not needed.

Device profile "Request mode" Using the request mode it is possible to read all the available data from the VAMP device and still use only a very short buffer for Profibus data transfer. The drawback is the slower overall speed of the data transfer and the need of increased data processing at the Profibus master as every data item must be separately requested by the master.
