Basic functions 2NGA002468 A through these protocols. However, some communication functionality, for example, horizontal communication between the protection relays, is only enabled by the IEC 61850 communication protocol. One full IEC 61850-9-2 LE stream containing both voltages and currents can be sent.
2NGA002468 A Basic functions for port priority). This ensures that most of the network traffic that is not meant for the relays flows between the Ethernet switches. The self-healing ring solution supports the connection of up to 30 protection relays. However, the HSR or PRP network is recommended to ensure redundant and proper functionality.

Basic functions 2NGA002468 A If the protocol does not operate as expected, check that other serial protocols are not using the COM port. Inserting the RS232 cable should be done with the IED powered off. Use the correct Ethernet connectors in the protection relay with redundant communication protocols like HSR and PRP.

Measurement functions 2NGA002468 A Some of the measurement functions operate on two alternative measurement modes: "DFT" and "RMS". The measurement mode is selected with the Measurement mode setting. Depending on the measuring function if the measurement mode cannot be selected, the measuring mode is "DFT". Demand value calculation The demand values are calculated separately in each measurement function and per phase when applicable.
