ASCII Serial Port Operation
6.8.3
ANALOG
Use the ANALOG p t command to test the relay
analog current output. When you use the
ANALOG command, the relay ends normal
analog current output and sends a signal defined
by the percentage value, p = 0% – 100% for t
minutes (t = 1 – 10 minutes). For example, when
the analog output signal type is 4 – 20 mA, the
command ANA 75 5.5 instructs the relay to
output 16 mA (75% of full scale) for 5.5 minutes
or until any character or space key is pressed to
end the test.
You can also use the ANALOG command to
generate a current signal that increases linearly.
Replace the fixed percentage value with an R to
ramp the signal from zero to full scale over time.
For example, the command ANA R 10 instructs
the relay to ramp the analog signal from zero to
full scale, reaching full scale in ten minutes. As
above, you can stop the test by pressing any
keyboard character key or the space bar.
6.8.4
CONTROL
The CONTROL command is a two-step
command that allows you to control Relay Word
bits RB1 through RB4. At the Access Level 2
prompt, type CON, a space, and the number of
the remote bit you wish to control (1 – 4). The
relay repeats your command followed by a colon.
At the colon, type the Control Subcommand you
wish to perform (see Table 6.5).
Subcommand
SRB n
Set Remote Bit n (ON position)
CRB n
Clear Remote Bit n (OFF position)
Pulse Remote Bit n for 1/4 cycle
PRB n
(MOMENTARY position)

The following example shows the steps
necessary to pulse Remote Bit 4 (RB4):

Description
You must enter the same remote bit number in
both steps in the command. If the bit numbers do
not match, the relay responds
see Section B.16, page 151 for more information.
6.8.5
DATE
(Level 1 or 2)
DATE displays the date stored by the internal
calendar/clock. If the date format setting DATE_F
is set to MDY, the date is displayed as month/day/
year. If the date format setting is set to YMD, the
date is displayed as year/month/day.
To set the date, type DATE mm/dd/yyyy
<ENTER> if the Date Format setting is MDY. If
the Date Format setting is set to YMD, type DATE
yyyy/mm/dd <ENTER>. You can separate the
month, day, and year parameters with spaces,
commas, slashes, colons, or semicolons.
6.8.6
EVENT
Use the EVENT command to view event reports.
The general command format is:
Event n R
Where:
n
Event number (1 – 14). Defaults to 1 if not
listed, where 1 is the most recent event.
R Specifies the unfiltered (raw) event report.
Displays 16 samples per cycle.
Table 6.6
Event Commands
Table 6.7 lists example EVE commands. If you
request an event report that does not exist, the
relay responds
Invalid Event
Serial Port
Command
EVE
Display the most recent event report
at 1/4-cycle resolution.
EVE 2
Display the second event report at
1/4-cycle resolution.
EVE R
Display the most recent report at
1/16-cycle resolution; analog data are
not digitally filtered (raw).
