4. Application
REU 610 is a versatile multifunction voltage relay which is used in general voltage
supervision applications. It complements the range of feeder protection relay
REF 610 and motor protection relay REM 610 in industrial outgoing feeder and
motor feeder applications. The relay can also be used as back-up protection for
industrial as well as utility applications.
The large number of digital inputs and output contacts allows a wide range of
applications.
4.1. Requirements
When being used for real-time clock or recorded data functions, the battery should
be changed every five years.
4.2. Configuration
The appropriate configuration of the output contact matrix enables the use of the
signals from the protection stages as contact functions. The start signals can be used
for blocking co-operating protection relays and signalling.
The Fig. 4.2.-1 represents the relay with trip lockout function and external reset
switch.

5. Technical description
5.1. Functional description
5.1.1.2. Inputs
The relay is provided with four energizing inputs, two digital inputs and three
optional digital inputs controlled by an external voltage. Three of the energizing
inputs are for the phase-to-phase voltages and one for the residual voltage.
The functions of the digital inputs are determined with the SGB switches. For
details, refer to Section 5.2.1. Input/output connections and Table 5.1.4.7.-7,
Table 5.2.1.-1 and Table 5.2.1.-5.
17
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
5.1.1.3. Outputs
Switchgroups SGR1...8 are used for routing internal signals from the protection
stages and the external trip signal to the wanted signal or power output contact. The
minimum pulse length can be configured to be 40 or 80 ms and the power output
contacts can be configured to be latched.
The relay includes an internal disturbance recorder which records the momentary
measured values or the RMS curves of the measured signals, and up to eight user-
selectable digital signals: the digital input signals and the internal signals from the
protection stages. Any digital signal can be set to trigger the recorder on either the
falling or rising edge.
There are two levels of HMI passwords; main HMI setting password for all settings
and HMI communication password for communication settings only.
The HMI passwords can be set to protect all user-changeable values from being
changed by an unauthorized person. Both the HMI setting password and the HMI
communication password remain inactive and are not required for altering parameter
values until the default HMI password is replaced.
18
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The relay can be configured to store various data in a non-volatile memory, which
retains its data also in case of loss of auxiliary voltage (provided that the battery has
been inserted and is charged). Operation indication messages and LEDs, disturbance
recorder data, event codes and recorded data can all be configured to be stored in the
non-volatile memory whereas setting values and trip counters are always stored in
the EEPROM. The EEPROM does not require battery backup.
5.1.1.7. Self-supervision
The self-supervision system of the relay manages run-time fault situations and
informs the user about an existing fault. There are two types of fault indications;
internal relay fault (IRF) indications and warnings. Internal relay faults prevent relay
operation. Warnings are less severe faults and continued relay operation with full or
reduced functionality is allowed.
When the self-supervision system detects a permanent internal relay fault, the green
indicator LED starts to flash. At the same time, the IRF contact (also referred to as
the IRF relay), which is normally picked up, drops off. The text INTERNAL FAULT
and a fault code appear on the display.
INTERNAL FAULT
FAULT CODE :30
A040278
Warning
In case of a less severe fault (warning), the relay continues to operate except for
those protection functions possibly affected by the fault. At this type of fault, the
green indicator LED remains lit as during normal operation, but the text WARNING
with a fault code or a text message indicating the fault type appears on the LCD. In
case of a warning due to an external fault in the trip circuit detected by the trip-
circuit supervision, SO2 is activated (if SGF1/8=1).

Time synchronization of the relay’s real-time clock can be realized in two different
ways: via serial communication using a communication protocol or via a digital
input.
When time synchronization is realized via serial communication, the time is written
directly to the relay’s real-time clock.
Any digital input can be configured for time synchronization and used for either
minute-pulse or second-pulse synchronization. The synchronization pulse is
automatically selected and depends on the time range within which the pulse occurs.
Two detected pulses within acceptable time range are required before the relay
activates pulse synchronization. Respectively, if the synchronization pulses
disappear, the relay takes time that corresponds to the time range of four pulses
before de-activating pulse synchronization. The time must be set once, either via
serial communication or manually via the HMI.
When the time is set via serial communication and minute-pulse synchronization is
used, only year-month-day-hour-minute is written to the relay’s real-time clock, and
when second-pulse synchronization is used, only year-month-day-hour-minute-
second is written. The relay’s real-time clock will be rounded to the nearest whole
second or minute, depending on whether second- or minute-pulse synchronization is
used. When the time is set via the HMI, the entire time is written to the relay’s real-
time clock.
20
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
If the synchronization pulse differs more than ±0.05 seconds for second-pulse or ±2
seconds for minute-pulse synchronization from the relay’s real-time clock, the
synchronization pulse is rejected.
Time synchronization is always triggered on the rising edge of the digital input
signal. The time is adjusted by accelerating or decelerating the relay's clock. By this
way the clock neither stops nor makes sudden jumps during the time adjustment.
The typical accuracy achievable with time synchronization via a digital input is ±2.5
milliseconds for second-pulse and ±5 milliseconds for minute-pulse
synchronization.
The pulse length of the digital input signal does not affect time
synchronization.

The table below presents the measured values which can be accessed through the
HMI.

The functions of the relay are selected with the switches of switchgroups SGF, SGB,
SGR and SGL. The checksums of the switchgroups are found under SETTINGS in
the HMI menu. The functions of the switches are explained in detail in the
corresponding SG_ tables.

A051476_2

1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The selection between these modes is made either by using HMI or parameter S7,
the default setting being conventional measurement. Stage U1< (PPS) and U2>
(NPS) cannot be used at the same time.
Stage U>> can be set out of operation in SGF3/1. This state is indicated by dashes
on the LCD and by “999” when the set start value is read via serial communication.
Both the low-set and the high-set overvoltage stage can independently be set to start
and trip when one of the three voltages or all the voltages rise above the set start
value. By default, both stages operate when one of the three voltages rise above the
set start value. The selection is made in SGF4/5 and SGF4/6.
When the phase-to-phase voltage values exceed the set start value of the low-set
stage, U>, the stage generates a start signal after a ~ 60 ms’ start time. When the set
operate time at definite-time characteristic or the calculated operate time at IDMT
characteristic elapses, the stage generates a trip signal.
Stage U> has a settable resetting time (both at definite-time and IDMT
characteristics), tr>, for reset coordination with existing electromechanical relays or
for reducing fault clearance times of recurring, transient faults. If stage U> has
started and the phase-to-phase voltages fall below the set start value of the stage, the
start of the stage remains active for the set resetting time. If the phase-to-phase
voltages exceed the set start value again while the timer is running, the timer is
cleared and the start of the stage remains active.
Consequently, the set resetting time ensures that when the stage starts because of
voltage spikes, it is not immediately reset. If stage U> has already tripped, the stage
is reset in 70 ms after the phase-to-phase voltages have fallen below 0.5 times the set
start value of the stage. However, if stage U> has already tripped and the phase-to-
phase voltages have fallen below the set start value of the stage, but not below 0.5
times the set start value, the stage is reset when the set resetting time is expired.
When the conventional protection mode is selected and the phase-to-phase voltages
exceed the set start value of the high-set stage, U>>, the stage generates a start
signal after a ~ 50 ms’ start time. When the set operate time at definite-time
characteristic or the calculated operate time at IDMT characteristic elapses, the stage
generates a trip signal. The stage is reset in 70 ms after the phase-to-phase voltages
have fallen below the set start value of the stage.
25
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
When the calculated negative phase-sequence voltage value U2s exceeds the set start
value of the stage U2>, the stage generates a start signal after a 50 ms' start time.
When the set operate time at definite-time characteristics or the calculated operate
time at IDMT characteristics elapses, the stage generates a trip signal. The stage is
reset in 70 ms after the calculated negative phase-sequence voltage value has fallen
below the set start value of the stage.
U 12 + a 2 × U 23 + a × U 31
U 2s = (1)
3
a = 1∠ 120°
a2 = 1∠ -120°
The negative phase-sequence value is scaled to the amplitude of the measured
voltage. On a network with a reverse phase order, the calculated negative phase-
sequence value has the same amplitude as the measured voltage signal.
Stage U2> can be set to be blocked when one of the measured phase-to-phase
voltages falls below 0.15 × Un. The selection is made in SGF4.
26
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The selection between these modes is made either by using HMI or parameter S7,
the default setting being conventional measurement. Stage U1< (PPS) and U2>
(NPS) cannot be used at the same time.
The undervoltage stages can be set to be blocked when one of the measured voltages
fall below 0.15 × Un. The blocked stage is reset after the set resetting time. This
feature can be used to avoid unnecessary starts and trips during, for example, an
auto-reclose sequence. In addition, the tripping of stage U< can be set to be blocked
by the stage U<< start. The selection is made in SGF4.
Stage U<< can be set out of operation in SGF3/2. This state is indicated by dashes
on the LCD and by 999 when the set start value is read via serial communication.
Both the low-set and the high-set undervoltage stage can independently be set to
start and trip when one of the three voltages or all the voltages fall below the set start
value. By default, the low-set undervoltage stage operates when one of the three
voltages fall below the set start value and the high-set undervoltage stage operates
when all the voltages fall below the set start value. The selection is made in SGF4/7
and SGF4/8.
When the phase-to-phase voltage values fall below the set start value of the low-set
stage, U<, the stage generates a start signal after a ~ 80 ms’ start time. When the set
operate time at definite-time characteristic or the calculated operate time at IDMT
characteristic elapses, the stage generates a trip signal.
Stage U< has a settable resetting time (both at definite-time and IDMT
characteristics), tr<, for reset coordination with existing electromechanical relays or
for reducing fault clearance times of recurring, transient faults. If stage U< has
started and the phase-to-phase voltages exceed the set start value of the stage, the
start of the stage remains active for the set resetting time. If the phase-to-phase
voltages fall below the set start value again while the timer is running, the timer is
cleared and the start of the stage remains active.
Consequently, the set resetting time ensures that when the stage starts because of
voltage drops, it is not immediately reset. If stage U< has already tripped, the stage
is reset in 70 ms after the phase-to-phase voltages have fallen below 0.15 × Un.
However, if stage U< has already tripped and the phase-to-phase voltages have
exceeded the set start value of the stage, the stage is reset when the set resetting time
has expired.
Stage U< tripping can be set to be blocked by the start of stage U<< or U1<.
27
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
Stage U< can also be configured to be used for alarm purposes. When a trip signal is
generated for alarm purposes, the Start/Alarm indicator LED is lit and the fault is
indicated as an alarm instead of a trip.
When the conventional protection mode is selected and the voltages fall below the
set start value of the high-set stage, U<<, the stage generates a start signal after a ~
50 ms’ start time. When the set operate time at definite-time characteristic or the
calculated operate time at IDMT characteristic elapses, the stage generates a trip
signal. The stage is reset in 70 ms after the phase-to-phase voltages have exceeded
the set start value of the stage.
A situation of this kind can be critical for different reasons. The power plant can be
left to feed an isolated network due to a trip caused by a fault. In this case, there is a
risk that the isolated network, which is in asynchronous state compared to the rest of
the network, is reconnected to the network as a result of an autoreclosure, for
instance. In addition, the power plant can also fall into an asynchronous state in a
fault situation. These critical situations can be prevented by disconnecting the power
plant from the network fast enough by tripping the connecting circuit breaker.
The benefit of this function is that the voltage value measured during or after a
network fault is a good measure of how critical the fault is for a smaller power plant.
When the positive phase-sequence voltage value falls below the critical limit, the
power plant has to be disconnected from the network.
28
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
When the calculated positive phase-sequence voltage value U1s falls below the set
start value of the stage U1<, the stage generates a start signal after a ~ 50 ms’ start
time. When the set operate time at definite-time characteristic or the calculated
operate time at IDMT characteristic elapses, the stage generates a trip signal. The
stage is reset in 70 ms after the calculated positive phase-sequence voltage value has
exceeded the set start value of the stage.
U 12 + a × U 23 + a 2 × U 31
U1s = (2)
3
a = 1∠ 120°
a2 = 1∠ -120°
On a symmetrical network, this formula scales the positive phase-sequence value to
the same amplitude as the measured voltage signal.
Stage U<< can be set to be blocked when the measured voltage values fall below
0.15 × Un. In addition, the tripping of stage U< can be set to be blocked by stage
U<< start. The selection is made in SGF4.
The residual overvoltage protection detects residual voltages caused by earth faults.
When the residual voltage exceeds the set start value of the low-set stage U0>, the
stage generates a start signal after a ~ 70 ms’ start time. When the set operate time
elapses, the stage generates a trip signal.
Stage U0> has a settable resetting time t0r> for reset coordination with existing
electromechanical relays or for reducing fault clearance times of recurring, transient
faults. If stage U0> has started and the residual voltage falls below the set start value
of the stage, the start of the stage remains active for the set resetting time. If the
residual voltage exceeds the set start value again while the timer is running, the
timer is cleared and the start of the stage remains active.
Consequently, the set resetting time ensures that when the stage starts because of
voltage spikes, it is not immediately reset. If stage U0> has already tripped, the stage
is reset in 50 ms after the residual voltage falls below 0.5 times the set start value of
the stage. However, if stage U0> has already tripped and the residual voltage has
fallen below the set start value of the stage, but not below 0.5 times the set start
value, the stage is reset after the set resetting time (t0r>) has expired.
When the residual voltage exceeds the set start value of the high-set stage U0>>, the
stage generates a start signal after a ~ 60 ms’ start time. When the set operate time
has elapsed, the stage generates a trip signal.
29
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
If stage U0>> has started and the residual voltage falls below the set start value of
the stage, the start of the stage remains active for 100 ms. If the residual voltage
exceeds the set start value again while the timer is running, the timer is cleared and
the start of the stage remains active. If stage U0>> has already tripped, the stage is
reset in 50 ms after the residual voltage falls below 0.5 times the set start value of
the stage. However, if stage U0>> has already tripped and the residual voltage has
fallen below the set start value of the stage, but not below 0.5 times the set start
value, the stage is reset after the 100 ms’ resetting time has expired.
Stage U0> can be set out of operation in SGF3/3 and stage U0>> can be set out of
operation in SGF3/4. This state is indicated by dashes on the LCD and by 999
when the set start value is read via serial communication.
The circuit-breaker failure protection (CBFP) detects situations where the trip
remains active although the circuit breaker should have operated.
The CBFP unit generates a trip signal via output PO2 when the set operate time of
CBFP expires.
The CBFP can be triggered internally via protection functions. All the signals,
except external trip, routed to output PO1 trigger the CBFP. If the fault situation is
not cleared when the set operate time has elapsed, the CBFP generates a trip signal
via output PO2.
The CBFP can also be selected to be triggered externally by applying a digital input
signal to the relay, if the maximum of all three phase-to-phase voltages is above 0.15
× Un. If the fault situation is not cleared when the set operate time has elapsed, the
CBFP generates a trip signal via output PO2.
Normally, the CBFP controls the upstream circuit breaker. However, it can also be
used for tripping via redundant trip circuits of the same circuit breaker.
Each of the overvoltage and undervoltage stages can be given either a definite-time
or an inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) characteristic. The following setting
parameters determine the operation mode of the overvoltage and undervoltage
protection stages:
30
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
At IDMT characteristic, the operate time of the stage is dependent on the voltage
value: the greater the deviation from the setting value, the shorter the operate time.
Three time/voltage curve groups are available: A, B and C.
An overvoltage stage starts when the measured voltage exceeds the setting value of
the stage. An undervoltage stage starts when the measured voltage drops below the
setting value of the stage. However, the IDMT calculation does not start until the
deviation between the measured voltage and the setting value exceeds 3 percent.
The operate time accuracy stated in technical data applies when the deviation is 10
percent or higher.
The IDMT characteristic curve groups A and B are designed for overvoltage stages
U> and U>>/U2>. Stages U> and U>>/U2> can be configured to use different
characteristics. The relationship between time and voltage at IDMT characteristic
can be expressed as follows:
k × 480
t[s]= p
+ 0.05
U − U> (3)
32 × − 0.5
U>
t = operate time
k = time multiplier k> or k>>
U = measured voltage
U> = set start value U> or U>>/U2>
p = constant (see Table 5.1.4.6.-2)
The A- and B-type characteristics are illustrated in Fig. 5.1.4.6.-1 and Fig. 5.1.4.6.-
2.
If the ratio between the voltage and the set value is higher than 1.6, the
operate time is the same as when the ratio is 1.6.
31
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
The IDMT characteristic curve group C is designed for undervoltage stages U< and
U<</U1<. Stages U< and U<</U1< can be configured to use different
characteristics. The relationship between time and voltage at IDMT characteristic
can be expressed as follows:
k × 480
t[s]= p
U< − U (4)
32 × − 0.5
U<
t = operate time
k = time multiplier k< or k<<
U = measured voltage
U< = set start value U< or U<</U1<
p = constant (see Table 5.1.4.6.-2)
The C-type characteristic is illustrated in Fig. 5.1.4.6.-3.
If the ratio between the voltage and the set value is lower than 0.3, the
operate time is the same as when the ratio is 0.3.

5.1.4.7. Settings
There are two alternative setting groups available, setting groups 1 and 2. Either of
these setting groups can be used as the actual settings, one at a time. Both groups
have their related registers. By switching between the setting groups, a whole group
of settings can be changed at the same time. This can be done in any of the
following ways:
* Via the HMI
* Entering SPA parameter V150 via serial communication
* Via a digital input
The setting values can be altered via the HMI or with a PC provided with Relay
Setting Tool.
Before the relay is connected to a system it must be assured that the relay has been
given the correct settings. If there is any doubt, the setting values should be read
with the relay trip circuits disconnected or tested with current injection; refer to
Chapter 7. Check lists for additional information.
36
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The settings can be altered and the functions of the relay selected in the SG_ selector
switchgroups. The switchgroups are software based and thus not physical switches
to be found in the hardware of the relay.
A checksum is used for verifying that the switches have been properly set. The
Fig. 5.1.4.7.-1 shows an example of manual checksum calculation.

When the checksum, calculated according to the example above, equals the
checksum of the switchgroup, the switches in the switchgroup are properly set.

The new trip indication timer can be configured to allow a second trip indication on
the LCD. When several protection stages trip, the first trip indication is displayed
until the time, as specified by the NEW TRIP IND. setting value, has expired. After
this, a new trip indication can displace the old one. The basic protection functions
are not affected by the NEW TRIP IND. setting.
The table below presents data which can be configured to be stored in the non-
volatile memory. All of the functions mentioned below can be selected separately
with switches 1...5 either via the HMI or the SPA bus.

REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
Under normal operating conditions, the applied external voltage is divided between
the relay’s internal circuit and the external trip circuit so that at least 20 V remains
over the relay’s internal circuit. If the external trip circuit’s resistance is too high or
the internal circuit’s too low, due to welded relay contacts, for instance, the voltage
over the relay’s internal circuit falls below 20 V (15...20 V), which activates the trip-
circuit supervision.
The resistance of the external shunt resistor is to be calculated so that it does not
cause malfunction of the trip-circuit supervision or affect the operation of the trip
coil. Too high resistance causes too high voltage drop, which in turn results in the
operation conditions not being fulfilled, whereas too low resistance may cause
faulty operation of the trip coil.
The following values are recommended for the external resistor, Rext:
The circuit breaker is to be provided with two external contacts, one opening and
one closing contact. The closing contact is to be connected in parallel with the
external shunt resistor, which enables trip-circuit supervision when the circuit
breaker is closed. The opening contact, on the contrary, is to be connected in series
with the external shunt resistor, which enables trip-circuit supervision when the
circuit breaker is open; see Fig. 5.1.5.-1.

The trip lockout function is used to prevent accidental closing of the circuit breaker
after a trip. The trip lockout function must be locally reset with a separate reset
command before the circuit breaker can be closed again. This function is useful
when the trip output contact of the relay is latched or the open circuit of the circuit
breaker remains activated.
The trip lockout function is selected in SGF1. When selected, PO3 is dedicated to
this function. As long as no trip occurs, PO3 is closed.
Every signal which has been routed to PO3 via the output signal matrix activates the
trip lockout function and opens the contacts of PO3. When the contacts have
opened, they are locked into the open state.
The trip lockout function can also be activated externally, via a digital input. The
trip lockout function can be reset via a digital input, the HMI or SPA parameter
V103, but not before the signal which activated the function has been reset.
49
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
In case of loss of auxiliary power when the trip lockout function is in use, the
contacts of PO3 return to the same state as before the loss, provided that the battery
has been inserted and is charged. If no battery has been inserted, the trip lockout
function is activated and the contacts of PO3 remain open when the auxiliary power
is switched on again.
The trip counters for circuit-breaker condition monitoring provide history data,
which can be used for circuit-breaker service scheduling. With this information, the
service cycle can be estimated for the future.
The monitoring function consists of four counters, which count the number of trip
signals generated to the circuit breaker by the relay. Every time a stage generates a
trip signal, the corresponding counter value is increased by one. The number of trips
is stored in the non-volatile EEPROM memory.
There are separate counters for the different protection stages. The overvoltage
stages (U>, U>> and U2>), undervoltage stages (U<, U<< and U1<) and residual
overvoltage stages (U0> and U0>>) have a common trip counter each, whereas there
is an own trip counter for the external trip.
The counters can be read via the HMI or SPA parameters V9...V12 and cleared via
SPA parameter V166. When a counter reaches its maximum value, it rolls over.
In case several stages trip during the same fault sequence, only the
counter of the stage which tripped first is increased by one.
The operation of the relay can be monitored via the HMI by means of LED
indications and text messages on the LCD. On the front panel of the relay there are
three indicator LEDs with fixed functionality:
* Green indicator LED (ready)
* Yellow indicator LED (start/alarm)
* Red indicator LED (trip)
In addition, there are eight programmable LEDs and an indicator LED for front
communication. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for a more thorough presentation.
The indication messages on the LCD have a certain priority order. If different types
of indications are activated simultaneously, the message with the highest priority
appears on the LCD.
50
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The first value shows the average voltage of all three phase-to-phase voltages
measured during one minute. The value is updated once a minute.
The second value shows the average voltage during an adjustable time range,
ranging from 0 to 999 minutes, with an accuracy of one minute. This value is
updated at the expiration of each time range.
The third value shows the highest one-minute average voltage value measured
during the previous time range. However, if the time range is set to zero, only the
one-minute and the maximum average voltage value is shown. The maximum value
is the highest one-minute mean value since the last reset.
The demand voltage values can be set to zero through serial communication using
SPA parameter V102. The average voltage values are also reset if SPA parameter
V105 is changed or the relay is reset.
The following two product functions can be used during the commissioning of the
relay: function test and digital input test.
The function test is used for testing the configuration as well as the connections
from the relay. By selecting this test, the internal signals from the protection stages,
the motor start-up signal, the external trip signal and the IRF function can be
activated one by one. Provided that the signals have been set to be routed to the
output contacts (PO1...PO3 and SO1...SO5) with the switches of SGR1...SGR8, the
output contacts are activated and their corresponding event codes are generated
when the test is run. However, activation of the internal signals from the protection
stages, the external trip signal and the IRF function do not generate an event code.
The digital input test is used for testing the connections to the relay. The state of the
digital inputs can be monitored via the HMI.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual for instructions on how to perform the tests.

5.1.11.1. Function
Triggering of the recorder generates an event code. After the recorder has been
triggered, it continues to record data for a pre-defined post-triggering time. An
asterisk is shown on the LCD on completion of the recording. The status of the
recording can also be viewed using SPA parameter V246.
As soon as the recorder has been triggered and the recording has finished, the
recording can be uploaded and analyzed by means of a PC provided with a special
program.
One recording contains data from the four analog channels and up to eight digital
channels. The analog channels, whose data is stored either as RMS curves or as
momentary measured values, are the voltages measured by the relay. The digital
channels, referred to as digital signals, are start and trip signals from the protection
stages and the digital input signals linked to the relay.
The user can select up to eight digital signals to be recorded. If more than eight
signals are selected, the first eight signals are stored, beginning with the internal
signals followed by the digital input signals.
The digital signals to be stored are selected with parameters V238 and V243; see
Table 5.1.17.-5 and Table 5.1.17.-6.
The recording length varies according to the selected sampling frequency. The RMS
curve is recorded by selecting the sampling frequency to be the same as the nominal
frequency of the relay. The sampling frequency is selected with SPA parameter M15;
see the table below for details.
Recording length:
52
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
Cycles
[s ] = (6)
Nominal frequency [Hz]
Changing the setting values of parameters M15, V238 and V243 is allowed only
when the recorder is not triggered.
The post-triggering recording length defines the time during which the recorder
continues to store data after it has been triggered. The length can be changed with
SPA parameter V240. If the post-triggering recording length is defined to be the
same as the total recording length, no data stored prior to the triggering is retained in
the memory. By the time the post-triggering recording finishes, a complete
recording is created.
Triggering of the recorder immediately after it has been cleared or the auxiliary
voltage connected may result in a shortened total recording length. Disconnection of
the auxiliary voltage after the recorder has been triggered, but before the recording
has finished, on the other hand, may result in a shortened post-triggering recording
length. This, however, does not affect the total recording length.
At a power reset, triggered recorder data is retained in the memory provided that it
has been defined non-volatile.
It is possible to control and monitor the recording status of the disturbance recorder
by writing to and reading SPA parameters M1, M2 and V246. Reading SPA
parameter V246 returns either the value 0 or 1, indicating whether the recorder has
not been triggered or triggered and ready to be uploaded. Event code E31 is
generated the moment the disturbance recorder is triggered. If the recorder is ready
to be uploaded, this is also indicated by an asterisk shown in the lower right-hand
corner of the LCD when it is in the idle mode. Indication can also be routed to
programmable LEDs.
Writing the value 1 to SPA parameter M2 clears the recorder memory and enables
the triggering of the recorder. Recorder data can be cleared by performing a master
reset, that is, clearing indications and memorized values and unlatching output
contacts.
Writing the value 2 to SPA parameter V246 restarts the unloading process by setting
the time stamp and the first data ready to be read.
5.1.11.4. Triggering
The user can select one or several internal or external digital input signals to trigger
the disturbance recorder, either on the rising or falling edge of the signal(s).
Triggering on the rising edge means that the post-triggering recording sequence
starts when the signal is activated. Correspondingly, triggering on the falling edge
means that the post-triggering recording sequence starts when the active signal is
reset.
53
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
The trigger signal(s) and the edge are selected with SPA parameters V236...V237
and V241...V242; see Table 5.1.17.-5 and Table 5.1.17.-6. The recorder can also be
triggered manually with SPA parameter M1.
Triggering of the disturbance recorder is only possible if the recorder is not already
triggered.
The setting parameters for the disturbance recorder are V parameters V236...V238,
V240...V243 and V246, and M parameters M15, M18, M20 and M80...M83.
Unloading correct information from the recorder requires that M80 and M83 have
been set. Unloading is done by using a PC application. The uploaded recorder data
is stored in separate files defined by the comtrade® format.
The disturbance recorder generates an event code on triggering (E31) and clearing
(E32) the recorder. The event mask is determined using SPA parameter V155.
The relay records up to five events. This enables the user to analyze the last five
fault conditions in the electrical power network. Each event includes the measured
voltages, start durations and time stamp, for instance. Additionally, information on
the number of starts of the stages and trips is provided.
Recorded data is non-volatile by default, provided that the battery has been inserted
and is charged. A master reset, that is, clearing of indications and memorized values
and unlatching of output contacts, erases the contents of the stored events and the
number of starts of the stages.
The relay collects data during fault conditions. When all start signals have been reset
or a stage trips, the collected data and time stamp is stored as EVENT1 and the
previously stored events move one step forward. When a sixth event is stored, the
oldest event is cleared.
54
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
When the counters reach their maximum values (65535), they roll over.
The relay is provided with an optical communication port (infrared) on the front
panel. Rear communication is optional and requires a communication module,
which can be provided with either a plastic fibre-optic, combined fibre-optic (plastic

REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
For connection to the DNP 3.0 communication system, the relay can be provided
with an optional DNP 3.0 rear communication module with RS-485 connection. For
further information on optional rear communication module connections, refer to
Section 5.2.2. Serial communication connections.

The optical front connection galvanically isolates the PC from the relay. The front
connection can be used in two different ways: wirelessly using a PC compatible to
the IrDA®‚ Standard specifications or using a specific front communication cable
(refer to Section 6. Ordering information). The cable is connected to the serial RS-
232 port of the PC. The optical stage of the cable is powered by RS-232 control
signals. The cable has a fixed baud rate of 9.6 kbps.
Relay data such as events, setting values and all input data and memorized values
can be read via the front communication port.
When setting values are altered via the front communication port, the relay checks
that the entered parameter values are within the permitted setting range. If an entered
value is too high or too low, the setting value remains unchanged.

1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The relay supports the IEC 60870-5-103 remote communication protocol in the
unbalanced transmission mode. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is used to transfer
measurand and status data from the slave to the master. However, the IEC 60870-5-
103 protocol cannot be used to transfer disturbance recorder data.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol can be used only through the rear connection of the
relay on the optional communication module. Connecting the relay to a fibre-optic
communication bus requires a fibre-optic communication module. The line-idle
state of the fibre-optic communication module can be selected either via the HMI or
the SPA bus. According to the IEC 60870-5-103 standard, the line-idle state is “light
on”. To ensure communication, the line-idle state should be the same for both the
master and the slave device. The connection topology can be selected to be either
loop or star, the default being loop, and either via the HMI or the SPA bus. The
selected line-idle state and connection topology apply irrespective of which rear
communication protocol is active.
The relay uses the SPA bus protocol as default when the optional communication
module is in use. The protocol selection is memorized and is therefore always
activated when the rear connection is in use. The baud rate can be selected either via
the HMI or the SPA bus. According to the IEC 60870-5-103 standard, the baud rate
is 9.6 kbps. When the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is active, event masks are not in
use. Consequently, all events in the selected configuration set are included in the
event reporting.
The relay is provided with two different selectable configuration sets, of which
configuration set 1 is used by default.
Configuration set 1 is intended to be used when the optional I/O module is not
installed. Configuration set 2 includes additional information, for example output
contact events 6...8 (SO3...SO5) and digital input events 3...5 (DI3...DI5), provided
that the optional I/O module is installed.
Function type and information number are mapped into configuration sets according
to the IEC 60870-5-103 standard to the extent that these have been defined by the
standard. If not defined by the standard, the type of function and/or the information
number are/is mapped into a private range.

The master/slave protocol Modbus was first introduced by Modicon Inc. and is
widely accepted as a communication standard for industrial device controllers and
PLCs. For the protocol definition, refer to Section 1.4. Product documentation.
The implementation of the Modbus protocol in the relay supports both the RTU and
the ASCII link mode. Both the link mode and the line setting parameters are user-
configurable. The character codings of the link modes follow the protocol
definition. The RTU character format is presented in Table 5.1.15.-1 and the ASCII
character format in Table 5.1.15.-2:
The data address range in the Modbus network follows the protocol
definition and starts from 0. Consequently, the data addresses in
Table 5.1.15.1.-5...Table 5.1.15.1.-13 are decreased by one when
transferred over the network.
The Modbus data type digital input (DI) is commonly also referred to
as 1X, coils as 0X, input register (IR) as 3X and holding register (HR)
as 4X, of which the former is used here. Thus, HR 123, for instance,
can also be referred to as register 400123.
60
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The Modbus protocol (ASCII or RTU) is selected via the HMI and can be used only
through the rear connection of the relay on the optional communication module.
Modbus line settings, that is, parity, CRC byte order and baud rate, can be adjusted
either via the HMI or the SPA bus.
The implementation of the Modbus protocol in REU 610 supports the following
functions:
61
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
62
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
User-defined registers
Reading of unwanted data in a data block wastes bandwidth and complicates data
interpretation. For optimum efficiency in Modbus communication, data has
therefore been organized into consecutive blocks. In addition, a set of programmable
user-defined registers (UDR) has been defined in the holding register area.
The first sixteen holding registers, that is, HR1...16, are user-defined registers. The
UDRs can be linked to any holding register, except for HR721...727, using SPA
parameters 504V1...504V16. However, one UDR cannot be linked to another, that
is, linking cannot be nested. Each parameter contains the address of the holding
register to which the UDR is linked.
If a UDR is linked to a non-existent holding register, reading from the register fails
and an Illegal address exception response is sent. Giving the link address
the value 0 disables the UDR. If the master reads from a disabled UDR, the value 0
is returned.
63
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
Fault records
The data recorded during a fault sequence is called a fault record (FR). The slave
stores the five latest fault records. When a sixth record is stored, the oldest record is
deleted.
Status register 3 (HR403) informs whether there are unread fault records (see
Fig. 5.1.15.1.-2). If there is one or several unread fault records, the master can read
the contents using selection code 1.
The fault record contains a sequence number which makes it possible for the master
to determine whether one or several unread fault records have been deleted due to
overflow. The master compares the sequence number to that of the previously read
fault record.
The slave keeps track of which fault record is currently the oldest unread. The
master can continue reading fault records for as long as Status register 3 indicates
that there are unread records.
* Special case 1: If there are no unread fault records, the contents of the last read
record is returned. If the buffer is empty, however, the registers contain only
zeros. This is the only time when sequence number zero appears.
* Special case 2: If the master tries to read the next unread fault record without
entering selection code 1 again, the contents of the last read record will be
returned.
Selection code 2: the master reads the oldest stored record
By resetting the read pointer using selection code 2, the master can read the oldest
stored fault record. After this, the master can continue reading the following records
using selection code 1, irrespective of whether they have been read before.
Resetting the read pointer does not affect the sequence number of the
fault record.
64
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
Event records
Modbus events are derived from SPA events. With a few exceptions, SPA events
update binary points in the DI and the packed HR area. Simultaneously, a
corresponding Modbus event record is generated. The event record contains the
Modbus DI/CO data point address and the value to which the point has changed (0
or 1). SPA events lacking a corresponding DI/CO data point are shown as SPA
channel and event code (informative event) in the event record. The maximum
capacity of the Modbus event buffer is 99 events. The time stamp of Modbus events
is extended to contain complete information, from date to millisecond.
Status register 3 (HR403) informs whether there are unread event records (see
Fig. 5.1.15.1.-2). If there is one or several unread event records, the master can read
the contents using selection code 1.
The event record contains a sequence number which makes it possible for the master
to determine whether one or several unread event records have been deleted due to
overflow by comparing it to the sequence number of the previously read event
record.
The slave keeps track of which event record is currently the oldest unread. The
master can continue reading event records for as long as Status register 3 indicates
that there are unread records.
* Special case 1: If there are no unread event records, the contents of the last read
record is returned. If the buffer is empty, however, the registers contain only
zeros. This is the only time when sequence number zero appears.
* Special case 2: If the master tries to read the next unread event record without
entering selection code 1 again, the contents of the last read record is returned.
By resetting the read pointer using selection code 2, the master can read the oldest
stored event record. After this, the master can continue reading the following
records using selection code 1, irrespective of whether they have been read before.
Resetting the read pointer does not affect the sequence number of the
event record.
65
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
With selection code -1...-99, the master can move backwards from the newest event
as many events as defined by the selection code and read that specific event record.
After this, the master can continue reading the following records using selection
code 1, irrespective of whether they have been read before.
* Special case: If there is not as many events in the buffer as specified by the
selection code, the oldest stored event is read.
Selection code 3
The Modbus event buffer is cleared with selection code 3. Clearing the buffer does
not require any read operation to follow.
Digital inputs
As the master may not detect the state changes of all digital signals when scanning,
an additional change detect (CD) indication bit is created for every momentary
indication point; see the example below.
Momentary
Change detect
Master reads

A040332
If the momentary value of an indication bit has changed two or more times since the
master last read it, the CD bit is set to one. When the CD bit has been read, it is set
to zero.
The momentary and the CD bit of a certain indication point always occur as a pair in
the Modbus memory map.
66
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
There are two types of monitoring data: digital indications and measurands. For
convenience and efficiency, the same data can be read from different data areas.
Measurands and other 16-bit values can be read either from the IR or HR (read-
only) area and digital indication values from either the DI or coil (read-only) area. It
is also possible to read the status of the DIs as packed 16-bit registers from both the
IR and the HR area.
Consequently, all monitoring data can be read as consecutive blocks of data from
the IR or HR area.
The register and bit addresses are presented in the tables below. Some register
structures are presented in separate sections below.

The DNP 3.0 protocol was developed by Harris Control based on the early versions
of the IEC 60870-5 standard telecontrol protocol specifications. Today, the DNP
protocol specifications are controlled by the DNP Users Group.
The DNP protocol supports the ISO OSI (Open System Interconnection) based
model, which only specifies physical, data link and application layers. This reduced
protocol stack is referred to as Enhanced Performance Architecture (EPA). To
support advanced RTU functions and messages larger than the maximum frame
length as defined in the IEC 60870-1, the DNP 3.0 Data Link is to be used with a
transport pseudo-layer. As a minimum, the transport pseudo-layer implements
message assembly and disassembly services.
The DNP parameters can all be adjusted using Relay Setting Tool. For the DNP
parameters, refer to Table 5.1.17.-13.
All DNP parameters are stored on the external DNP 3.0 module. After
parameterization with Relay Setting Tool, REU 610 must be switched to the rear
communication mode for at least 10 seconds in order for the DNP parameters to be
replicated and stored onto the DNP module. However, this is necessary only if the
DNP parameters have been altered.
The DNP data points (binary, analog and counters) of the relay, presented in
Table 5.1.16.2.-1...Table 5.1.16.2.-3, are all in use as default.
The default class settings of the DNP points within the different event object groups
are:
73
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
Unsolicited reporting is enabled for all event objects as default. However, the point-
specific enable/disable parameters are meaningless unless unsolicited reporting has
been enabled with SPA parameter 503V24.
The pointers to the scaling factors for analog objects are all 0 as default.
Consequently, the DNP and Modbus analog values of the relay are identical as
default.
All DNP process points can be edited using Relay Setting Tool. Editing features
include:
* Re-organizing, adding and removing DNP points
* Assigning event classes to specific DNP points
* DNP point-specific enabling/disabling of unsolicited reporting
* Defining deadbands for event reporting
* Defining scaling factors for analog values

Only the last alternative is compliant with the DNP 3.0 standard.
Event handling
The maximum capacity of the DNP event buffer is 100 events. When unsolicited
reporting has been enabled (SPA parameter 503V24), the event reporting uses the
following SPA parameters, called send throttle parameters:
Example:
(class 1)
The events are reported when the event delay (SPA parameter 503V18) has
elapsed or the defined amount of events (SPA parameter 503V19) are
generated for class 1.
If send throttles are not wanted, the event delay should be set to 0 and the
event count to 1. In this case, the class events are sent to the host immediately
as they occur.
DNP 3.0 event buffer overflow is indicated with the internal indication IIN2.3, as
defined by the standard. IIN2.3 can also indicate event buffer overflow in the
internal communication between the DNP3.0 module and the main CPU module of
the relay. In this case, the relay automatically activates and resets the IIN2.3 bit.
83
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
As events have been lost in both cases, the DNP 3.0 master should perform an
integrity scan after the IIN2.3 bit has been reset.
DNP counters in use have a corresponding frozen counter. The frozen counters in
object group 21 have the same DNP point index as the ordinary DNP counters.
Further, frozen counters can only be read as static objects, and frozen counter events
(object group 23) are not supported.
The relay supports both collision avoidance and detection. Collision detection can
be enabled or disabled with SPA parameter 503V235. Collision avoidance occurs
before message transmission. When preparing to transmit and the link is busy, the
relay first waits until the link becomes idle. After this, a backoff time starts. When
the backoff time elapses, the relay checks the link again. If the link is not busy, the
relay starts the transmission. The backoff time is calculated as follows:
The silent interval is set with SPA parameter 503V232 and the maximum random
delay with SPA parameters 503V233 (the width of a single time slot in
milliseconds) and 503V234 (the maximum number of time slots). By setting the
time-slot width to 10 milliseconds and the maximum number of time slots to 10, for
instance, the maximum random delay is 100 milliseconds.
Collision detection is always active during transmission (provided that it has been
enabled). While sending a message, the relay supervises collisions on the link. If a
collision is detected, the transmission is immediately cancelled. After this, the relay
tries to transmit the message again, using collision avoidance before sending the
message.
The DNP analog values can be scaled using either an internal (fixed) or a user-
defined scaling factor. If the scaling factor index for a certain analog value is set to
0, the internal scaling factor is used. If set to 1...5, the user-defined scaling factor of
the corresponding scaling factor parameter, SPA parameter 503V (100+index), is
used:
84
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
Example:
The deadband is always defined in units of the original value when scaled using the
internal (fixed) scaling factor, irrespective of whether the internal scaling factor is
used for value presentation or not.
Example:
Altering parameter values via serial communication requires the use of the SPA
password in some cases. The password is a user-defined number within the range
1...999, the default value being 001. SPA parameters are found on channels 0...5,
503...504, 507 and 601...603.
To enter the setting mode, enter the password into parameter V160. To exit the
setting mode, enter the same password into parameter V161. The password
protection is also reactivated in case of loss of auxiliary voltage.
The password can be changed with parameter V162, but it is not possible to read
the password via this parameter. Abbreviations used in the following tables:
* R = readable data
* W = writeable data

The events are stored in the event buffer of the relay. The maximum capacity of the
buffer is 100 events. Under normal conditions the buffer is empty.
The contents of the buffer can be read using the L command, 5 events at a time.
Using the L command erases the previously read events from the buffer, with the
exception of events E50 and E51 which have to be reset by using the C command. If
a fault occurs and reading fails for example in data communication, the events can
be re-read by using the B command. If needed, the B command can also be repeated.
Events to be included in the event reporting are marked with the multiplier 1. The
event mask is formed by the sum of the weighting factors of all those events which
are to be included in event reporting.

When an internal relay fault preventing relay operation is detected, the relay first
tries to eliminate the fault by restarting. Only after the fault is found to be
permanent, the green indicator LED (ready) begins to blink and the self-supervision
output contact is activated. All other output contacts are returned to the initial state
and locked for the internal relay fault. Further, a fault indication message appears on
the LCD, including a fault code.
IRF indications have the highest priority on the HMI. None of the other HMI
indications can override the IRF indication. As long as the green indicator LED
(ready) is blinking, the fault indication cannot be cleared. In case an internal fault
disappears, the green indicator LED (ready) stops blinking and the relay is returned
to the normal service state, but the fault indication message remains on the LCD
until manually cleared.
The IRF code indicates the type of internal relay fault. When a fault appears, the
code is to be recorded and stated when ordering service. The fault codes are listed in
the following table:
102
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
For further information on internal relay faults, refer to the Operator’s Manual.
Warnings
In case of a warning, the relay continues to operate except for those protection
functions possibly affected by the fault, and the green indicator LED (ready)
remains lit as during normal operation. Further, a fault indication message, which
depending on the type of fault includes a fault code, appears on the LCD. If more
than one type of fault occur at the same time, one single numeric code which

cleared but it disappears with the fault.

REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
The parameters of the relay can be set either locally via the HMI or externally via
serial communication with Relay Setting Tool.
Local parameterization
When the parameters are set locally, the setting parameters can be chosen via the
hierarchical menu structure. The wanted language can be selected for parameter
descriptions. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for further information.
External parameterization
Relay Setting Tool is used for parameterizing the relay units. Adjusting the
parameter values using Relay Setting Tool is done off-line, after which the
parameters can be downloaded to the relay via a communication port.
All external circuits are connected to the terminals on the rear panel of the relay.
* Terminals X2.1-_ are dimensioned for one 0.5...6.0 mm2 ( 20-8) wire or two max
2.5 mm2 ( 24-12) wires
* Terminals X3.1-_ and X4.1-_ are dimensioned for one 0.2...2.5 mm2 wire or two
0.2...1.0 mm2 ( 24-16) wires.
The energizing phase-to-phase voltages of the relay are connected to terminals:
* X2.1/1-2
* X2.1/3-4
* X2.1/5-6
For inputs for phase-to-phase voltages and residual voltage, refer to Table 5.2.1.-1.
104
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
The energizing residual voltage of the relay is connected to terminals X2.1/7-8, see
Table 5.2.1.-1.
The input terminals of the optional I/O module are located on connection socket
X3.1, see Table 5.2.1.-4 and Table 5.2.1.-5.
When connection socket X3.1 is used, the optional I/O module must be
installed.
Terminals X4.1/21-24 and X3.1/1-6 (optional) are digital input terminals, see
Table 5.2.1.-5. The digital inputs can be used to generate a blocking signal, to
unlatch output contacts or for remote control of relay settings, for instance. The
requested functions are selected separately for each input in switchgroups SGB1...5.
The digital inputs can also be used to trigger the disturbance recorder; this function
is selected with SPA parameter V243.
Output contacts PO1, PO2 and PO3 are heavy-duty trip contacts capable of
controlling most circuit breakers, see Table 5.2.1.-4.The signals to be routed to
PO1...PO3 are selected with the switches of switchgroups SGR1...SGR3. On
delivery from the factory, the trip signals from all the protection stages are routed to
PO1, PO2 and PO3.
Output contacts SO1...SO5 can be used for signalling on start and tripping of the
relay, see Table 5.2.1.-4.Output contacts SO3...SO5 are optional and available only
if the optional I/O module has been installed. The signals to be routed to SO1...SO5
are selected with the switches of switchgroups SGR4...SGR8. On delivery from the
factory, the start and alarm signals from all the protection stages are routed to SO1
and SO2.
The IRF contact functions as an output contact for the self-supervision system of the
voltage relay, see Table 5.2.1.-3. Under normal operating conditions, the relay is
energized and the contact is closed (X4.1/3-5). When a fault is detected by the self-
supervision system or the auxiliary voltage is disconnected, the output contact drops
off and the contact closes (X4.1/3-4).
Fig. 5.2.1.-1...Fig. 5.2.1.-3 present a rear view of the relay, showing four connecting
sockets: one for measuring transformers, one for the optional I/O module, one for
power supply and one for optional serial communication.

The optical front connection of the relay is used to connect the relay to the SPA bus
via the front communication cable, refer to Section 6. Ordering information. If a PC
compatible to the IrDA® Standard specifications is used, wireless communication is
possible as well. The maximum wireless operating distance depends on the
transceiver of the PC.
Rear communication of the relay is optional and the physical connection varies with
the communication option.
If the relay is provided with the optional fibre-optic communication module for
plastic fibre, the fibre-optic cables are connected to terminals as follows:
110
1MRS755769 Voltage Relay REU 610
RS-485 connection
If the relay is provided with the optional RS-485 communication module, the cable
is connected to terminals X5.5/1-2 and X5.5/4-6. The connection socket is a 6-pin
header-type socket and the terminals are of screw compression type.
When connecting the relay to the bus, a quality twisted pair shielded cable is to be
used. The conductors of the pair are connected to A and B. If signal ground is being
used for balancing potential differences between devices/nodes, a quality dual
twisted pair shielded cable is to be used. In this case, one pair is connected to A and
B, and one of the conductors of the other pair to signal ground. When connecting
one device to another, A is connected to A and B to B.
The cable shield is to be connected directly to earth (shield GND) in one point/
device of the bus. Other devices connected to the bus should have the cable shield
connected to earth via a capacitor (shield GND via capacitor).
The RS-485 communication module is provided with jumpers for setting bus
termination and fail-safe biasing. The bus is to be terminated at both ends, which
can be done by using the internal termination resistor on the communication
module. The termination resistor is selected by setting jumper X5 to the ON
position. If the internal termination resistor of 120 Ω is used, the impedance of the
cable should be the same.
The bus is to be biased at one end to ensure fail-safe operation, which can be done
using the pull-up and pull-down resistors on the communication module. The pull-
up and pull-down resistors are selected by setting jumpers X3 and X4 to the ON
position.
111
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
The jumpers have been set to no termination (X5 in the OFF position) and no
biasing (X3 and X4 in the OFF position) as default.

If the relay is provided with the optional fibre-optic communication module for
plastic and glass fibre, the plastic fibre-optic cables are connected to terminals X5.3-
RX (Receiver) and X5.3-TX (Transmitter) and the glass fibre-optic cables to
terminals X5.4-RX (Receiver) and X5.4-TX (Transmitter).
The fibre-optic interface is selected with jumpers X6 and X2 located on the PCB of
the communication module (see Fig. 5.2.2.-2).

If the relay is provided with the optional DNP 3.0 communication module, the cable
is connected to terminals X5.8/1-2 and X5.8/4-8. The connection socket is a 8-pin
header-type socket and the terminals are of screw compression type.
113
REU 610 Voltage Relay 1MRS755769
The DNP communication module follows the DNP standard and is intended to be
used in a daisy-chain bus wiring scheme with 2- or 4-wire, half-duplex, multi-point
communication.
When connecting the relay to the bus, a quality twisted pair shielded cable is to be
used. The conductors of the pair are connected to A and B. If signal ground is being
used for balancing potential differences between devices/nodes, a quality dual
twisted pair shielded cable is to be used. In this case, one pair is connected to A and
B, and one of the conductors of the other pair to signal ground. When connecting
one device to another, A is connected to A and B to B.
When using a 4-wire bus, one pair is connected to +RX and -RX and the other to
+TX and -TX. If signal ground is being used, a quality cable with three or several
pairs is to be used and one of the conductors of a pair connected to signal ground.
The cable shield is to be connected directly to earth (shield GND) in one point/
device of the bus. Other devices connected to the bus should have the cable shield
connected to earth via a capacitor (shield GND via capacitor).
The DNP communication module is provided with jumpers for setting bus
termination and fail-safe biasing. The bus is to be terminated at both ends, which
can be done by using the internal termination resistor on the DNP communication
module. The termination resistor is selected by setting jumper X6 or/and X12 to the
ON position. If the internal termination resistor of 120Ω is used, the impedance of
the cable should be the same.
The bus is to be biased at one end to ensure fail-safe operation, which can be done
using the pull-up and pull-down resistors on the communication module. The pull-
up and pull-down resistors are selected by setting jumpers X8, X7, X13 and X11 to
the ON position.
The 2-wire bus is selected by default (jumper X14) without termination or biasing.
The jumpers X6, X7, X8 and X12 are in OFF position. The jumpers X11 and X13
are in ON position.

Auxiliary voltage
The relay requires a secured auxiliary voltage supply to operate. The internal power
supply of the relay forms the voltages required by the relay electronics. The power
supply is a galvanically isolated (flyback-type) DC/DC converter. When the
auxiliary voltage is connected, the green indicator LED (ready) on the front panel is
lit. For detailed information on power supply, refer to Table 5.2.3.-2.
The primary side of the power supply is protected with a fuse located on the printed
circuit board of the relay.
