Operation
This function is used to record and back up a set of measurements available in the

the number of measurements per file depend on the type of cartridge installed. The
recording mode and selection of measurements can be configured by the user via

Any change to the Sepam time affects the Data logs protection functions.
because the time system in which they operate will
have changed.
If a Data log (in Circular or Limited mode) is in progress, Transfer
the corresponding operating mode is as follows: The files can be retrieved on a medium external to the Sepam locally or remotely:
the Data log is stopped Locally: using a PC connected to the programming port and running the SFT2841
the user must explicitly reset the command he has software
triggered before being able to trigger another one. Remotely: when the Sepam has the ACE850 and ACE969 communication
modules (TP and FO) and a dedicated supervision system program.
Only completed files can be transferred. A remote indication data item is created at
the end of recording.
Read
The files can be viewed after being transferred to a PC using software compatible
with the COMTRADE format.
Operating modes
After starting up the DLG function, the measurements are captured continuously.
The stop condition and file management differ according to which of the following 2
modes is used:
Limited (default mode): the DLG function stops automatically when the end of
recording time is reached or on receipt of an external event (a logic input for
example). However, the method used to stop must be the same as that used for
startup. Thus, it is not possible to start a Data log using the SFT2841 software and
stop it with a remote control order (TC)
Circular: the file content is managed in a FIFO memory: when the file is full, the
write operation continues and starts again at the start of the file. Stopping the write
operation only results from an external event. In the absence of the stop command,
recording is continuous.
These 2 modes are exclusive: it is not possible to have a Data log configured in
Limited mode simultaneously with a Data log configured in Circular mode.

Network diagnosis Synchro-check:
functions voltage comparison and
out-of-sync context
Operation
Voltage comparison
For the synchro-check function, the MCS025 module continuously measures the
amplitude, frequency and phase differences between the 2 voltages to be checked,
Usynch1 and Usynch2.
The measurement of the differences between the 2 voltages is useful to implement
the function and identify the value that is impeding synchronization. The differences
are calculated in the following order: amplitude, frequency and phase. As soon as a
difference is greater than the threshold set in the synchro-check function, the
Out-of-sync context
Out-of-sync context gives a precise indication of the cause of the failure of a
synchronization request.
It is only provided when the switchgear control function with the "closing with
synchro-check" option is activated.

Operation
This function, only available for motor applications, is related to the Motor start trend
function. It is used to calculate and display in the form of curves the minimum, demand
and maximum values for each value recorded by the Motor start report function
(MSR).
These recalculated values which are stored in a file of 144 samples covering a 30-
day period, can be viewed on the Sepam screen. When the current 30-day period
has ended, it is automatically archived in COMTRADE format and will no longer be
able to be viewed on the Sepam display (see the Read section).
2 The files are saved in a FIFO memory (First In First Out): when the maximum number
of files is reached, a new file replaces the oldest. The number of files available is 12.
The trends are only recalculated at the end of each Motor start report.

Comment on managing date changes:
On changing to a date prior to the start date of the current MST, this MST is not
closed and any new MSR will be taken into account in its calculation.
On changing to a date after the end date of the current MST, this MST is closed and
a new MST is created.

Downloading an MST file for the current period is automatically cancelled in the
following cases:
b Triggering an MSR
b Triggering calculation of an MST at the end of an MSR.
Downloading an MST file for another period is automatically cancelled when this file
is the oldest and needs to be replaced by a new file due to the FIFO memory being

SEPED310017EN 63
Switchgear diagnosis VT supervision
functions ANSI code 60FL
Setting advice
The partial loss of voltages is based on the detection of the presence of negative
sequence voltage and the absence of negative sequence current.
By default:
b the presence of negative sequence voltage is detected when: Vi > 10 % Vnp (Vsi)
b the absence of negative sequence current is detected when: Ii < 5 % In (Isi)
b time delay T1 is 1 s.
These default settings ensure the stability of the VT supervision function in the event
of short-circuits or transient phenomena on the network.
2 The Isi set point may be raised for highly unbalanced networks.
Time delay T1 is to be set shorter than the voltage and power protection function
tripping times.
Time delay T2 for the detection of the loss of all voltages must be longer than the
time it takes for a short-circuit to be cleared by the protection function 50/51 or 67,
to avoid the detection of a VT loss of voltage fault triggered by a 3-phase short-
circuit.
The time delay for the 51V protection function must be longer than the T1 and T2
time delays used for the detection of voltage losses.

Anticipation
It is possible to anticipate the function by a time Ta, taking into account the frequency
difference and the circuit breaker closing time, in order for the voltages to be
synchronized at the time of coupling.
Voltage checking
When one of the two voltages is absent, coupling may be authorized according to one
of five voltage checking modes.
b Usync1 absent and Usync2 present (Dead1 AND Live2)
b Usync1 present and Usync2 absent (Live1 AND Dead2)
b One voltage is present and the other is absent (Dead1 XOR Dead2)
b One or both of the two voltages are absent (Dead1 OR Dead2)
b Both voltages are absent (Dead1 AND Dead2).
The presence of each of the voltages is detected by comparing the voltage to the
high set point (Us high set point). The absence of either of the voltages is detected
by comparing the voltage to the low set point (Us low set point).

ANSI code 27D
Motor protection against incorrect voltages. Description
Protection of motors against faulty operation due to insufficient or unbalanced
network voltage. It is based on measurement of the positive sequence voltage Vd.
It includes a definite time delay T.
It does not operate when only a single phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase voltage is
connected.
This protection also detects the phase rotation direction. The protection function
considers that the phase rotation direction is reversed when the positive sequence
voltage is less than 10 % of Unp and when the phase-to-phase voltage is greater
than 80 % of Unp. When this is the case, the alarm message "ROTATION –" is
generated.

Protection functions Thermal overload for cables
ANSI code 49RMS
Example
Consider a copper cable, 185 mm2, with a permissible current Ia = 485 A and a
DE50840
3
For the cable in question and at 10 Ib:
tmax = (Ith_1 s/ I0Ib)2 = (22400 / 3500)2 = 41 s.
For I = 10 Ib = 3500 A and Ia/Ib = 1.38, the value of k in the cold tripping curve table
is k ≈ 0.0184.
The tripping time at 10 Ib is therefore:
t = k x T x 60 = 0.0184 x 30 x 60 = 35.6s < tmax.
For a 10 Ib fault occuring after a rated operation phase, with 100 % heat rise, the
value of k is:
k ≈ 0,0097.
The tripping time is:
t = k x T x 60 = 0.0097 x 30 x 60 = 17.5 s
Check on discrimination
Discrimination between 49RMS for the cable and the downstream protection curves,
including 49RMS protection functions, must be checked to avoid any risk of nuisance
tripping.

Protection functions Thermal overload for capacitors
ANSI code 49RMS
The current measured by the thermal protection is an RMS 3-phase current which
100
takes into account harmonics up to number 13.
The highest current of the three phases I1, I2 and I3, subsequently called phase
10-1 current Iph, is used to calculate the heat rise:
Iph = max ( I1 ,I2 ,I3 )
10-2
Operation curve
10-3 The protection function gives a tripping order when the current drawn is greater than
0 5 10
the overload current, with respect to the rated current of the sequence.
Tripping curves.
The tripping time is set by assigning a hot tripping time to a setting current. This
setting is used to calculate a time factor:
⎛ ⎛ ----- Is⎞2

C = ------------------------------------------------

⎜ ⎝ Ib⎠ ⎟ where In: natural logarithm.
In ⎜ ------------------------------------ ⎟
Is⎞
⎜ ⎛ ----- 2 Itrip 2
– ⎛ -------------⎞ ⎟
⎝ ⎝ Ib⎠ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎠
The tripping time with an initial heat rise of 0 % is then given by:
⎛ ⎛ Iph
---------⎞
2
⎞
⎜ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎟ where In: natural logarithm.
t = C × In ⎜ -------------------------------------------- ⎟ × Ts
Iph 2 Itrip
⎜ ⎛ ---------⎞ – ⎛ -------------⎞ ⎟ 2
⎝ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎠
= k x Ts
The tripping time with an intial heat rise of 100 % is then given by:
⎛ ⎛ Iph 2
---------⎞ – 1 ⎞
⎜ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎟
t = C × In ⎜ -------------------------------------------- ⎟ × Ts where In: natural logarithm.
Iph 2 Itrip
⎜ ⎛ ---------⎞ – ⎛ -------------⎞ ⎟ 2
⎝ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎝ Ib ⎠ ⎠
= k x Ts
The tripping curve tables give the values of k for an inital heat rise from 0 % to 100 %.
The current heat rise is saved in the event of an auxiliary power failure.

Protection functions Thermal overload for machines
ANSI code 49RMS
Operation
This function is used to protect a transformer against overloads, based on the
measurement of the current taken.
IEC standard 60076-2 proposes 2 thermal models for evaluating the winding thermal
capacity used during an overload, depending on whether the transformer is dry-type
or immersed.
Taking account of harmonics
The equivalent current Ieq measured by the transformer thermal overload protection
is the highest of the phase rms currents (the rms current takes account of harmonic
numbers up to 13).
Taking account of 2 operating conditions
The choice between thermal sets 1 and 2 is made by the "switching of thermal
settings" logic input. This means you can have thermal set 1 for normal transformer
operation and thermal set 2 for unusual transformer operation.
Dry-type transformer
For dry-type transformers, the thermal model used in the Sepam relay conforms to
standard IEC 60076-12 (with 1 time constant).

1. Select the thermal overload protection function by choosing the
"2 Time constants" value from the "Thermal Model" drop-down list.
Note: The "Generic" value selects the generic thermal overload protection function (see
page 135 to set the parameters for this protection function).
2. Enter the rotor and stator parameters using the motor manufacturer data.
b Rotor parameters:
v Locked cold rotor limit time (Tc)
v Locked hot rotor limit time (Th)
v Locked rotor torque (LRT)
v Starting current (IL)
b Stator parameters:
v Heating time constant: τ long
v Cooling time constant: τ cool
3. Determine in graphic form the switching threshold between the stator and rotor
thermal models (Is_therm).
Depending on the manufacturer curves, there are 2 possible scenarios:
b If there is any discontinuity between the manufacturer curves (see example on
next page), choose Is_therm at the stator breaking point.
b If there is no discontinuity:
v Plot the locked cold rotor thermal model curve, between IL and Ib, using the
equation below in order to determine Is_therm:
W(I) = Tc x (IL / I)2
v Determine the value of Is_therm for which the rotor thermal model (adiabatic) no
longer corresponds to the manufacturer's locked cold rotor curve.

⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠
The stator thermal overload protection trips when E(Ieq,t) = K², K being the
permissible continuous current in pu of Ib.
For α = 0, there is no thermal exchange between the stator and the metal frame since
the motor thermal resistance R2 is zero. Thus the stator heats up with the lowest time
constant τ short.
Conversely for α = 1, the thermal exchange between the stator and the metal frame
is perfect, therefore the stator and the metal frame only make one, resulting in the
stator heating up with a time constant close to that of the metal frame τ long.
For 0 < α < 1, thermal management with 2 time constants makes it possible:
b to protect the stator winding correctly against strong overloads, since the resulting
time constant is close to the stator time constant
b for the motor to run at low overload as close as possible to the limits defined by the
manufacturer data, since the resulting time constant is close to that of the metal
frame.
Illustration of the influence of the α coefficient on a motor whose time constants are
as follows:

Rotor thermal model
For the rotor, guide IEEE C37.96-2000 on protection of asynchronous motors defines
DE81180
an adiabatic thermal model, dependent on the slip, which is based on the equivalent
Rm Xm Rr(1-g)/g Steinmetz diagram.
During the asynchronous motor starting phase, rotoric currents travel across the
rotor conductors to a depth that depends on the slip.
Steinmetz diagram.
Therefore the rotor inductance Xr and the rotor resistance Rr vary as a function of
the slip g as follows:
Rs: stator resistance Rr = Kr g + Ro
Xs: stator reactance Xr = Kx g + Xo
Rr: rotor resistance
Xr: rotor reactance Kr: coefficient taking account of the increase in the rotor resistance

Coefficients Kr and Kx as a function of the slip.
Assuming that the positive sequence rotor resistance Rr+ varies almost linearly
between Ro and R1:
R r+ = ( R 1 – R 0 ) ⋅ g + R 0
The proportion of negative sequence current can be high during the motor starting
phase. As a result the negative sequence rotor resistance Rr- is high in order to
evaluate the rotor thermal capacity used.
It is obtained by replacing the slip g with the negative slip sequence (2 - g).
Thus:
R r- = ( R 1 – R 0 ) ⋅ ( 2 – g ) + R 0
The thermal model used in the Sepam relay measures the active part of the positive
sequence impedance during the motor starting phase to evaluate the slip g.
Depending on the motor status, the positive and negative sequence rotor resistances
are as follows:

Where T(M): locked rotor limit time depends on the thermal state of the motor M:
T(M) = Tc - (Tc - Th) x M, where 0 ≤M ≤1.

Th: locked hot rotor limit time at the starting current IL.
Example for a motor whose starting time is 5 s and the locked cold rotor limit time is
20 s.
b When the rotor is locked, the slip g = 1, as a result Rr+ = R1. Thus the thermal
capacity used is 5/20 = 25 %.
b When the slip g changes from 1 to 0 in 5 s, the rotor thermal capacity used is 17 %.

For self-ventilated rotating machines, cooling is more effective when the machine is
running than when it is stopped. Running and stopping of the equipment are
calculated based on the value of the current:
b running if I > 0.1 Ib
b stopped if I < 0.1 Ib.

Start inhibit
The thermal overload protection can inhibit the closing of the motor control device
until the heat rise drops back down below a value that allows restarting.
This value takes into account the heat rise produced by the motor when starting.
The inhibition function is grouped together with the starts per hour protection
function and the indication START INHIBIT informs the user.
Inhibition of tripping
Tripping of the thermal overload protection may be inhibited by the logic input "Inhibit
thermal overload" when required by the process.
3
The thermal overload protection function may be used to protect equipment with two
operating modes, for example:
b transformers with two ventilation modes, with or without forced ventilation
(ONAN / ONAF)
b two-speed motors.
The protection function comprises two groups of settings, and each group is suitable
for equipment protection in one of the two operating modes.
Switching from one group of thermal settings to the other is done without losing the
heat rise information. It is controlled:
b either via a logic input, assigned to the "switching of thermal settings" function
b or when the phase current reaches an adjustable Is set point (to be used for
switching of thermal settings of a motor with locked rotor).
The base current of the equipment, used to calculate heat rise, also depends on the
operating mode:
b for logic input switching in mode 2, the base current Ib-mode 2, a specific thermal
overload protection setting, is used to calculate the heat rise in the equipment
b in all other cases, the base current Ib, defined as a general Sepam parameter, is
used to calculate the heat rise in the equipment.
User information
The following information is available for the user:
b heat rise
b learnt cooling time constant T2
b time before restart enabled (in case of inhibition of starting)
b time before tripping (with constant current).

Protection functions Breaker failure

Automatic activation of this protection function requires the use of the circuit breaker
control function in the control logic. A specific input may also be used to activate the
protection by logic equation. That option is useful for adding special cases of
activation (e.g. tripping by an external protection unit).
The time-delayed output of the protection function should be assigned to a logic
output via the control matrix.
Starting and stopping of the time delay T counter are conditioned by the presence of
a current above the set point (I > Is).

Example of setting
Below is a case that may be used to determine the time-delay setting of the breaker
failure function:
b overcurrent protection setting: T = inst
b circuit breaker operating time: 60 ms
b auxiliary relay operating time to open the upstream breaker(s): 10 ms.
DE52249
The breaker failure function time delay is the sum of the following times:
b Sepam O1 output relay pick-up time = 10 ms
b circuit breaker opening time = 60 ms
b Breaker failure function overshoot time = 35 ms.
To avoid unwanted tripping of the upstream breakers, add a margin of approximately
20 ms.
The time delay is 125 ms minimum, set at 130 ms.

Protection functions Starts per hour
ANSI code 66
The "stop/start" time delay is used to impose a minimum stopping time between each
start.
The motor "hot state" data item is determined by the 49RMS motor thermal overload
protection. A "hot state" set point can also be configured using this protection
function (see page 122).
Note: When the 49RMS generic thermal overload protection is used, if ES0 is different from
0%, the ANSI 66 protection function may not work properly.
As the "hot state" set point is fixed at 50% in the ANSI 66 protection function, according
3
to ES0 setting value, the cold state for the 66 protection function may be reduced or not exist.
So the number of starts will be limited by the number of consecutive hot starts, with no impact
of number of consecutive cold starts setting.
When the motor curves imply to use ES0 setting to move the "cold curve", it is highly adviced
to use the thermal model based on two time constants, that avoid this setting difficulty.

Tripping direction
The direction of the current is determined according to

Polarization value
The polarization value is the phase-to-phase value in
quadrature with the current for cosθ = 1 (90° connection
angle). A phase current vector plane is divided into two
half-planes that correspond to the line zone and busbar
zone. The characteristic angle θ is the angle of the
perpendicular to the boundary line between the 2 zones
and the polarization value.

Protection functions Rate of change of frequency
ANSI code 81R
Disconnection application
This function is used on incomers of installations that include generators that can
operate in parallel with the distribution network.
The role of the function is to detect utility failures, i.e. operation of the generator as
an autonomous isolated system. If the power flow from the utility prior to autonomous
generator operation was not zero, the generator frequency changes.
The rate of change of frequency protection function detects autonomous generator
operation more rapidly than conventional frequency protection functions.
Other disturbances such as short-circuits, load fluctuations and switching may cause
changes of frequency. The low set point may be reached temporarily due to these
disturbances and a time delay is necessary. In order to maintain the advantage of the
speed of the rate of change of frequency protection in comparison to conventional
frequency protection functions, a second, higher set point with a short time delay may
be added.
3
The rate of change of frequency is actually not constant. Often, the rate of change of
frequency is at its highest at the beginning of the disturbance after which it
decreases. This extends the tripping time of frequency protection functions but does
not affect the tripping time of the rate of change of frequency protection function.
Low set point
b Follow the utility's instructions, if there are any.
b If there are no utility instructions, proceed as follows:
v if the maximum rate of change of frequency on the network under normal
conditions is known, dfs/dt should be set above it.
v if no information on the network is available, the low set point may be set according
to generator data.
A good approximation of the rate of change of frequency after a utility failure resulting
in a load variation ΔP is:
df ΔP × fn where Sn: rated power
------ = ------------------------------ fn: rated frequency
dt 2 × Sn × H
H: inertia constant
Typical value of the inertia constant (in MWs/MVA):
0.5 y H y 1.5 for diesel and low-power generators (y 2 MVA)
2 y H y 5 for gas turbines and medium-power generators (y 40 MVA)
J × Ω2 where J: moment of inertia
H = ------------------ Ω: machine speed
2 × Sn
Examples
Rated power 2 MVA 20 MVA
Inertia constant 0.5 MWs/MVA 2 MWs/MVA
Power variation 0.1 MVA 1 MVA
df/dt -2.5 Hz/s -0.6 Hz/s
182 SEPED310017EN
Protection functions Rate of change of frequency
ANSI code 81R
Operating precautions:
When the generator connects to the network, power oscillations may occur until the
generator becomes fully synchronized. The rate of change of frequency protection
function is sensitive to this phenomenon, so it is advisable to inhibit the protection
unit for a few seconds after circuit breaker closing.

b load shedding inhibition:
This principle is included in underfrequency protection functions. It consists of
activating the frequency variation restraint and does not call for implementation of the
rate of change of frequency protection function.

The operation time depends on the protected value (phase current, earth fault
current, etc.) in accordance with standards IEC 60255-3, BS 142 and
IEEE C-37112.
Operation is represented by a characteristic curve, e.g.:
b t = f(I) curve for the phase overcurrent function
b t = f(I0) curve for the earth fault function.
The rest of the document is based on t = f(I); the reasoning may be extended to other
variables I0, etc.
The curve is defined by:
b its type (standard inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, etc.)
b current setting Is which corresponds to the vertical asymptote of the curve
b time delay T which corresponds to the operation time for I = 10 Is.
These 3 settings are made chronologically in the following order: type, Is current,
time delay T.
Changing the time delay T setting by x % changes all of the operation times in the
curve by x %.

Another practical method:
the table below gives the values of K = ts/ts10 as a function of I/Is.
In the column that corresponds to the type of time delay, read the value K = tsk/Ts10
on the line for Ik/Is.
The time delay setting to be used so that the operation curve
passes through point k (Ik, tk) is: T = tk/k.
Example
Data:
b type of time delay: standard inverse time (SIT)
b set point: Is
b a point k on the operation curve: k (3.5 Is; 4 s)
Question: What is the time delay T setting (operation time at 10 Is)?
Reading the table: SIT column, line I/Is = 3.5 therefore K = 1.858
Answer: The time delay setting is T = 4/1.858 = 2.15 s

Control and monitoring Description
functions
Sepam performs all the control and monitoring functions required for electrical
network operation:
b the main control and monitoring functions are predefined and fit the most frequent
cases of use. They are ready to use and are implemented by simple parameter
setting after the necessary logic inputs / outputs are assigned.
b the predefined control and monitoring functions can be adapted for particular
needs using the SFT2841 software, which offers the following customization options:
v logic equation editor, to adapt and complete the predefined control and monitoring
functions
v creation of personalized messages for local annunciation
v creation of personalized mimic diagrams corresponding to the controlled devices
v customization of the control matrix by changing the assignment of output relays,
LEDs and annunciation messages
Operating principle
The processing of each control and monitoring function may be broken down into 3
phases:
b acquisition of input data:
v results of protection function processing
v external logic data, connected to the logic inputs of an optional MES120 input /
output module
v local control orders transmitted by the mimic-based UMI
v remote control orders (TC) received via the communication link
b actual processing of the control and monitoring function
The 4 outputs included in the Sepam series 60 base unit may be extended by adding
1 or 2 MES120 modules with 14 logic inputs and 6 output relays.
After the number of MES120 modules required for the needs of an application is set,
the logic inputs are assigned to functions. The functions are chosen from a list which
covers the whole range of possible uses. The functions are adapted to meet needs
within the limits of the logic inputs available. The inputs may also be inverted for
undervoltage type operation.
A default input / output assignment is proposed for the most frequent uses.

Control and monitoring Switching of groups of settings
functions
Operation
There are two groups of settings, group A / group B, for the phase overcurrent, earth
fault, directional phase overcurrent and directional earth fault protection functions.
Switching from one group of settings to another makes it possible to adapt the
protection characteristics to suit the electrical environment of the application (change
of earthing system, changeover to local power generation, ...). The switching of
settings is global and therefore applies to all the units of the protection functions
mentioned above.
The groups of settings switching mode is determined by parameter setting:
b switching according to the position of a logic input (0 = group A, 1 = group B)
b switching by remote control order (TC33, TC34)
b forced group A or group B.

Operation
This function considerably reduces the tripping time of the circuit breakers closest to

It applies to the phase 50/51, directional phase overcurrent 67, earth fault 50N/51N
and directional earth fault 67N overcurrent protections, definite time and IDMT.
The sending of blocking signals lasts as long as it takes to clear the fault. If Sepam
gives a tripping order, they are interrupted after a time delay that takes account of the
breaking device operating time and the protection unit reset time. This system
guarantees safety in downgraded operating situations (faulty wiring or switchgear).

With the combination of directional protection functions and the logic discrimination
function, the faulty section may be isolated with a minimal delay by tripping of the
circuit breakers on either side of the fault.
Blocking signals are initiated by both protection functions 67 and 67N.
Priority is given to protection function 67: when protection functions 67 and 67N
detect faults in opposite directions at the same time, the blocking signal sent is
determined by the direction of the fault detected by protection function 67.
The instantaneous output of protection functions 67 and 67N, activated at 80% of the
Is threshold, is used to send blocking signals. This avoids uncertainty when the fault
current is close to the Is threshold.

Example of cabling
To simplify on-site cabling the following rules must be observed.
General rules
b The cabling for CTs and VTs is identical on all cubicles and conforms to the
connection diagrams in the Sepam documentation. This allows a predefined fault
detection direction to be associated with each directional protection function unit.
b The association of logic inputs and standard functions simplifies this
implementation and cabling is therefore identical on all Sepams on all substations.
For each substation
b The protection 67 unit 1 threshold is set for fault detection on the busbars, and the
unit 2 threshold for a fault on the line.
The settings can be identical (thresholds, time delay, angle).
b The delayed thresholds on both units are used to trip the circuit breaker associated
with the Sepam relay.
b The blocking send 2 (O103) outputs on the substation Sepams are connected to
the blocking reception 1 inputs (I103) on the opposite Sepam.
Between 2 substations
The blocking send 1 (O102) output on the substation Line feeder Sepam is
connected to the input (I104) on its Sepam which corresponds to the other end of the
line in the other substation.
Remarks
b In the event of a fault in the substation, a logic discrimination order can be hard-
4
wired on the blocking inputs (I103) of both Sepams in the ring so as to block the
directional 67 and 67N function units oriented towards the busbars.
In this case 2 separate contacts must be used to decouple the simultaneous blocking
send command from the protection function in the substation to both Ring feeder
Sepams.
b Particular care must be given to managing the polarity of commands between the
various substations in the ring.

Control and monitoring Load shedding
functions
Operation
Motor load shedding is done to reduce the load on the electrical network so as to
keep the voltage within an acceptable range.
Load shedding may be triggered:
b by an order from outside Sepam in the presence of a logic input assigned for the
reception of load shedding orders. Orders may be delayed
b by a voltage dip detected by the delayed output of Sepam 27D protection unit 1
(typical setting 40% Un).
Load shedding triggers:
b tripping by the switchgear control function
b inhibition of closing as long as the load shedding order is maintained.
The load shedding order is maintained as long as one of the following three
conditions is present:
b external order via logic input (Ix or Gx)
b positive sequence voltage less than load shedding voltage detected by 27D unit 1
threshold
b insufficient positive sequence voltage for a restart order to be given and detected
by the delayed 27D unit 2 threshold. The time delay for the detection of correct
voltage recovery must be shorter than the load shedding delay (27D unit 1) in order
for the load shedding order to be maintained correctly. This unit is also used by the
restart function.
The function may be validated by the switchgear closed and not racked out
conditions.

Control and monitoring Restart
functions
Operation
With this function, motors can be automatically restarted after a shutdown triggered
by a voltage dip (load shedding).
The restart function is to be associated with the load shedding function It allows
staggered restarting of process motors, as long as the voltage dip that caused load
shedding was brief.
When tripping occurs due to a dip in the network supply voltage detected by 27D
protection unit 1, two situations are possible:
b the voltage dip lasts for a period longer than the maximum voltage dip duration:
tripping is final. External action is required for restart.
b the voltage dip lasts for a period shorter than the maximum dip duration: a restart
order is given. Delayed restart allows motor restart orders to be staggered to avoid
network overload.
The enabling of restart is detected after the delayed output of protection 27D unit 2

Installation description
The electrical installation consists of busbars to which the following are connected:
b an incomer supplied by a 10 MVA transformer
b a 3.15 MVA power generator
DE80888
4 In normal operation, the generator and transformer are coupled to the busbars. The
generator provides backup power to the installation in the absence of the transformer
power supply. The installation is earthed by a neutral point coil connected to the
busbars. When the generator is not coupled to the network, its neutral is isolated.
When faults occur, the generator is over-excited for 3 seconds. Its fault current is
equal to 3 times its rated current. After the 3 seconds have elapsed, the fault current
drops to 0.5 times the rated current.
The generator is protected:
b against network electrical short-circuits by a phase overcurrent protection function
50/51 and a backup protection function 50V/51V
b against earth faults by an earth fault protection function 50N/51N when the
generator is coupled to the busbars and by a neutral voltage displacement protection
function when it is not coupled
b against overloads by a thermal overload protection function 49RMS
b against unbalance by a negative sequence / unbalance protection function 46
b against frequency variations by underfrequency and overfrequency protection
functions 81L and 81H
b against voltage variations by undervoltage and overvoltage protection functions 27
and 59
b against field loss by a protection function 40.

Description
Switchgear may be controlled locally using Sepam series 60 units equipped with the
PE80330
mimic-based UMI.
The control functions available are:
b selection of the Sepam control mode
b viewing of device status on the animated mimic diagram
b local control of the opening and closing of all the devices controlled by Sepam
In Remote mode:
b remote control orders are taken into account
b local control orders are disabled, with the exception of the circuit breaker open
order.
Local control using the mimic-based UMI Remote mode is indicated by the variable V_MIMIC_REMOTE = 1.
In Local mode:
b remote control orders are disabled, with the exception of the circuit breaker open
order.
b local control orders are enabled.
4
Local mode is indicated by the variable V_MIMIC_LOCAL = 1.
Test mode should be selected for tests on equipment, e.g. during preventive
maintenance operations:
b all functions enabled in Local mode are available in Test mode
b no time-tagged events are sent by the communication link.
Test mode is indicated by the variable V_MIMIC_TEST = 1.
The symbols making up the mimic-diagram constitute the interface between the
mimic-based UMI and the other Sepam control functions.
There are three types of symbols:
b fixed symbol: represents the electrotechnical devices that are neither animated or
controlled, e.g. a transformer
b animated symbol with one or two inputs: represents the electrotechnical devices
that change on the mimic diagram, depending on the symbol inputs, but cannot be
controlled via the Sepam mimic-based UMI.
This type of symbol is used for switch-disconnectors without remote control, for
example.
b controlled symbol with one or two inputs/outputs: represents the electrotechnical
devices that change on the mimic diagram, depending on the symbol inputs, and can
be controlled via the Sepam mimic-based UMI.
This type of symbol is used for circuit breakers, for example.
The symbol outputs are used to control the electrotechnical device:
v directly via the Sepam logic outputs
v by the switchgear control function
v by logic equation.

Inhibition of orders
"Controlled - 1 input/output" and "Controlled - 2 inputs/outputs" symbols have two
inhibition inputs that, when set to 1, block opening and closing orders. This makes it
possible to create interlocking systems or other order-disabling systems that are
taken into account by the UMI.

Control and monitoring Control matrix
functions
Description
The control matrix is used for simple assignment of the logic outputs and LEDs
to data produced by the protection functions, control logic and logic inputs.
Each column creates a logic OR between all the lines selected.
The matrix may also be used to display the alarms associated with the data.
It guarantees the consistency of the parameter setting with the predefined functions.
The following data are managed in the control matrix and may be set using the
SFT2841 software tool.

b latching of recloser permanent trip signal
By default, this signal is of the pulse type at the recloser output. If required by
operating conditions, it may be latched as follows:
LATCH (V1) // V1 may be latched
V1 = P79_1_204 // recloser "permanent trip" output.
V1 may then control a LED or output relay in the matrix.
b latching of a LED without latching the protection function
Certain operating conditions call for the latching of indications on the front panel of
Sepam, without latching of the tripping output O1.
LATCH (V1, V2) // V1 and V2 may be latched
V1 = P50/51_1_1 OR P50/51_3_1 // tripping, units 1 and 3 of protection 50/51
V2 = P50/51_2_1 OR P50/51_4_1 // tripping, units 2 and 4 of protection 50/51
V1 and V2 must be configured in the matrix to control 2 front panel LEDs.
b circuit breaker tripping if input I113 is present for more than 300 ms
V_TRIPCB = TON (I113, 300).
b live line work (example 1)
If work is underway with power on (indicated by input I205), the relay behavior is to
be changed as follows:
1 – circuit breaker tripping by the instantaneous output of protection 50/51 unit 1 or
50N/51N unit 1 AND if input I205 is present:
V_TRIPCB = (P50/51_1_1 OR P50N/51N_1_1) AND I205
2 – Inhibit recloser:
P79_1_113 = I205
b live line work (example 2)
The user wishes to inhibit protection functions 50N/51N and 46 by an input I204:
P50N/51N_1_113 = I204
P46_1_113 = I204
b validation of a 50N/51N protection function by logic input I210
A 50N/51N protection function with a very low threshold must only initiate tripping of
the circuit breaker if it is validated by an input. The input comes from a relay which
gives a very accurate measurement of the neutral point current:
V_TRIPCB = P50N/51N_1_3 AND I210
b inhibition of circuit breaker closing if thermal alarm thresholds are overrun
The temperature protection function 38/49T supplies 16 alarm bits. If one of the first
three bits is activated (1 state), the user wishes to inhibit circuit breaker closing
V_INHIBCLOSE = P38/49T_1_10 OR P38/49T_2_10 OR P38/49T_3_10
b remote control order to inhibit protection 50/51 unit 1
VL1=SR(TC63,TC64) // TC63 set inhibition, TC64 reset inhibition
P50/51_1_113 = VL1 // VL1 is stored in the event of an auxiliary power outage.

Control and monitoring Self-tests and fail-safe position
functions
Presentation
The reliability of a device is the property that allows its users to have well-placed
confidence in the service it delivers.
For a Sepam protection relay, operational reliability consists of ensuring the safety
and availability of the installation. This means avoiding the following 2 situations:
b Nuisance tripping of the protection
Continuity of the electrical power supply is as vital for a manufacturer as it is for an
electricity distribution company. Nuisance tripping caused by the protection can
result in considerable financial losses. This situation affects the availability of the
installation.
b Failure of the protection to trip
The consequences of a fault that is not eliminated can be catastrophic. For safety of
operation, the protection relay must detect faults in the power supply as quickly as
possible, using discrimination. This situation affects the safety of the installation.
The possibility of a Sepam major failure must be taken into account when selecting
the trip command type to maximize availability or safety of the installation (see
"Selecting the trip command" page 267).
In addition to the self-tests, the user can activate monitoring functions to improve the
installation monitoring:
b VT supervision (ANSI code 60FL)
b CT supervision (ANSI code 60)
b Trip circuit and closing circuit supervision (ANSI code 74).

Modbus communication Presentation
General
Modbus communication allows Sepam to be connected to a supervisor or any other
device with a master Modbus communication channel.
Sepam is always a slave station.
The interfaces to connect Sepam to a single serial network are the following:
b ACE949-2, for connection to a 2-wire RS 485 network
b ACE959, for connection to a 4-wire RS 485 network
b ACE937, for connection to a fiber-optic star network
5
b reading of metering and diagnosis information
b reading of status conditions and remote indications
b transfer of time-tagged events
b transfer of files such as disturbance recordings and tripping contexts and, for
Sepam series 60, out-of-sync contexts, motor start reports, motor start trends and
data logs
b viewing of protection settings
b reading of Sepam configuration and identification
b remote control of the analog output
b time-setting and synchronization.
The actual list depends on the application, the type of Sepam and the enabled
functions.
Access modes
Depending on the data, two access modes are used:
b direct access - the data may be accessed directly in a single read or write
operation
b indirect access - access requires a number of read and write operations, using a
protocol that is specific to the data accessed.
Customized table
With Sepam, it is possible to set up for each Modbus port a customized sub-group of
data for quick reading of the most significant information on the user application.
272 SEPED310017EN
Modbus communication Managing the Modbus protocol
Protocol operation
Modbus is used to exchange information between a master and one or more slave
units, identified by a number. It implements request-reply dialog, where requests are
always initiated by the master. Modbus exists in ASCII and binary (RTU mode)
formats.
Data is exchanged in the form of 16-bit words (also called registers) or simply bits.
Each piece of information (bit or register) has a 16-bit address.
A detailed description of the protocol is provided in the appendix. It may also be found
at www.modbus.org.
Modbus functions
The Modbus protocol used by Sepam series 60 is a compatible sub-group of the RTU
Modbus protocol.
The functions listed below are handled by Sepam series 60:
b basic functions (data access):
v function 1: reading of n output or internal bits
v function 2: reading of n input bits
v function 3: reading of n output or internal words
v function 4: reading of n input words
v function 5: writing of 1 bit
v function 6: writing of 1 word
v function 7: high-speed reading of 8 bits
v function 15: writing of n bits
v function 16: writing of n words.
b communication-management functions:
v function 8: Modbus diagnosis
v function 11: reading of Modbus event counter
5
v function 43: sub-function 14: reading of identification.
b enhanced functions:
v function 102: secure access.
Multi-master operation
Serial line Modbus operation
When Sepam units are connected via a gateway to a multiple-access network
(Ethernet, Modbus+, etc.), a number of masters may address the same unit via the
serial communication port.
The serial line Modbus protocol cannot manage this type of architecture. The
network designer is responsible for avoiding collisions.
b For direct-access data, in general, no particular precautions must be taken.
b For indirect-access data, Sepam provides two exchange zones, making possible
2 simultaneous, independent accesses by 2 different masters.
Performance
The typical response time (time between the end of request reception and sending
the reply) is less than 10 milliseconds for 90% of exchanges.
It may occasionally be longer, but not exceed 150 ms.
In indirect mode, the time needed between the request (or an acknowledgment) and
the availability of the corresponding data is linked to the Sepam low-priority cycle
time and may vary from a few dozen to several hundred milliseconds.

Modbus communication Configuring the communication
interfaces
Serial line communication
port
Asynchronous serial transmission is used with the following character format:
5 b 1 start bit
b 8 data bits
b 1 stop bit
b parity according to parameter setting.
The number of stop bits is always fixed at 1.
If a configuration with parity has been selected, each character will contain 11 bits:
1 start bit + 8 data bits + 1 parity bit + 1 stop bit.
If a no parity configuration has been selected, each character will contain 10 bits:
1 start bit + 8 data bits + 1 stop bit.
The configuration parameters for the physical layer of the Modbus port are as
follows:
b slave number (Sepam address)
b transmission speed
b parity check type.
Parameters Authorized values Default value
Sepam address 1 to 247 1
Speed 4800, 9600, 19200 19200 bps
or 38400 bps
Parity No parity, even Even

Note: in echo mode, the Modbus master will receive the echo of its own request before the
slave's reply. The Modbus master must be able to disregard this echo. Otherwise, it is impossible
to create a Modbus fiber-optic ring.

Modbus communication Data addresses and coding
Presentation
Word addresses
All Sepam information accessible via Modbus communication is organized in 16-bit
words. Each word is identified by its address coded on 16 bits, i.e. from 0 to 65535
(FFFFh).
However, to remain compatible with older equipment, the essential information has
addresses coded from 0 to 9999 (270Fh).
In the following pages of this document, all addresses are expressed in hexadecimal
(xxxxh).
Data which is similar from the control-monitoring application and the coding
viewpoint is grouped in adjacent address zones.
Bit addresses
Some information is also available in bit form. The bit address is derived from the
word address, where:
bit address = (word address x 16) + bit rank (0 to 15).
Example: word 0C00 bit 0 = C000, word 0C00 bit 14 = C00E.
Non-defined addresses
Only the addresses defined in this document should be used.
If other addresses are used, Sepam may return an exception message or data that
is not significant.
Direct-access data
This data is permanently identified by its Modbus address. It may be accessed by a
single read or write operation, addressing a part of or the entire zone in question.
Indirect-access data
In this case, the Modbus addresses indicated make up an exchange zone occupied
by different data, depending on the context. At least two operations are required for
each exchange. The necessary protocol is indicated for each zone.
5
Data coding
Except where mentioned in the text, Sepam data is coded in one of the formats
below:
32-bit formats b 32S: 32-bit signed 2's complement value
For these data, the most-significant word is sent first. b 32NS: 32-bit non-signed value
Saturation b 16S: 16-bit signed 2's complement value
In all formats, if a datum overruns the maximum b 16NS: 16-bit non-signed value
permissible value for the related format, the value read b 16O: 16-bit signed value, coded with a shift of 8000h (-32768 is coded 0, 0 is coded
for the datum is the maximum permissible value for the 8000h, 32767 is coded FFFFh)
format. b B: bit or set of bits
The maximum value can also indicate a non-calculable b IEC: time coding format using four words as per IEC 60870-5-4:
value. Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Word 1 reserved year (0 to 99)
Word 2 0 0 0 0 month (1 to 12) 0 0 0 day (1 to 31)
Word 3 0 0 0 hour (0 to 23) 0 0 minute (0 to 59)
Word 4 millisecond (0 to 59999)
Bits set to 0 correspond to format fields not used by Sepam. They are always read as 0 and are
not taken into account during writing.
The reserved field is read as 0 and may receive different values during writing.
b ASCII: character string in ASCII code, the number of characters is indicated. When
ASCII strings do not completely fill the field, zero bytes are added. The order of
characters in Modbus words is the following:
v character n in the LSB position
v character n+1 in the MSB position
b MMmm: coding of a version number on 16 bits (major index in the MSB position,
minor index in LSB position)
For 16 and 32 bits values, the following letter may follow the format code:
b A: an out of range or not computable value is indicated by 7FFFh (16-bit) or
00007FFFh (32-bit)
b B: an out of range or not computable value is indicated by 7FFFFFFFh (32-bit)

Modbus communication Time-setting and synchronization
Presentation
Sepam manages the date and time internally. If auxiliary power is lost, the date and
time function continues to operate, on the condition that a charged battery was
PE50581
installed.
The Sepam internal time function is used in particular to date alarms and other
records.
Sepam time can be viewed:
with SFT2841, "Sepam diagnosis" screen
on the Sepam display
by a Modbus read of the synchronization zone.
Sepam also supplies in the check-word the indication "Sepam time not correct" if it
is necessary to reset the time (often the case when the battery is low or absent). This
information can also be viewed with SFT2841, on the "Sepam diagnosis" screen.
SFT2841: date and time on the "Sepam diagnosis" screen.
Time setting
When Sepam is energized, the time is automatically set using the clock powered by
the backup battery, if the battery is charged.
When necessary, it is possible to set the time on the Sepam using:
SFT2841 ("Sepam diagnosis" screen)
Sepam User Machine Interface
Serial Modbus communication (COM1)
Modbus/TCP or SNTP (Ethernet)
Modbus time is set by writing, in a single block, the new value for the date and time
in the synchronization zone (time frame).
Synchronization
Remote monitoring To ensure long-term time stability or to coordinate a number of devices, it is possible
and control to synchronize Sepam relays.
DE81020
Sepam series 60
Synchronization by the Modbus communication link
The time frame is used for both time setting and synchronization of Sepam. In this
case, it must be regularly sent at brief intervals (between 10 and 60 seconds) to
maintain synchronous time.
It is generally broadcast (slave number = 0).
The Sepam internal clock is reset each time a new time frame is received.
Synchronization is maintained if the reset amplitude is less than 100 milliseconds.
Sepam series 80
If the reset amplitude is higher for 3 consecutive frames or if a single frame is
received with a reset amplitude higher than 4 seconds then Sepam will switch to
loss of synchronism status.
With synchronization via the Modbus network, accuracy depends on the master and
its control over frame transmission time on the communication network. Sepam is
Synchronization of the Sepam clock by the communication
synchronized without delay at the end of the receipt of the frame.
network. Time changes are made by sending a frame to Sepam with the new date and time.
Sepam then switches to a transitional non-synchronous status.
In synchronous status, non-reception of a time frame for over 200 seconds results in
the loss of synchronization.
308 SEPED310017EN
Modbus communication Time-setting and synchronization
Any time changes greater than ± 4 seconds are made by sending a new time frame.
Sepam series 60 The switch from summer time to winter time (and back) is made in this way as well.
There is a temporary loss of synchronization when the time is changed.
Synchronization is lost if:
b the difference in synchronization between the closest 10-second period and pulse
reception is greater than the synchronization error for two consecutive pulses
b the pulse is not received for a period longer than 200 seconds.

Modbus communication Time-tagged events
Presentation
The time-tagging function assigns a date and precise time to status changes (events)
so that they can be accurately organized over time.
Time-tagging is systematic and concerns:
b logic inputs
b remote indications
b certain information pertaining to Sepam equipment (see Sepam check-word).
Events may be used by a remote monitoring and control system for data logging and
histories, for example.
The remote monitoring and control system provides a chronological display of the
time-tagged data.
Description
Time-tagging
Event time-tagging uses the Sepam internal clock. When an event is detected, it is
tagged with the current Sepam time.
Time-tagging accuracy depends essentially on how well the Sepam internal clock is
synchronized (see the section on time setting and synchronization).
5
b interrupts the transmission of all time-tagged events.
When Sepam leaves Test mode, it transmits remote-indication TS208 "Test mode"
with a value of 0.
Time-tagged events can be transmitted again. Status changes that take place in Test
mode are permanently lost.
Event queues
Sepam has four internal storage queues (two per communication port) with a
capacity of 64 events. Each queue is independent.
If one queue is full (63 events already recorded), a "data loss" event is generated in
the 64th position and the queue no longer receives event data. The other queues are
not affected and continue to receive any new detected events.
When a queue in "data loss" status is completely emptied, a "data loss" end event is
generated and the queue then receives any detected events.
For each event queue of a Modbus port, the check-work contains certain information:
b presence of an event: indicates that there is at least one event that has not been
read in the corresponding queue
b data loss: indicates that the queue is in "data loss" status (full).
Initialization
Each time Sepam is initialized (energized), events are generated in the following
order:
b "data loss"
b "not synchronous"
b end of "data loss".
The "time not correct" event may also appear if there is no battery.
The function is initialized with the current values of the remote indication and logic
input status without creating any events related to those data. After the initialization
phase, event detection is activated.
310 SEPED310017EN
Modbus communication Time-tagged events
Reading of events
Two Modbus tables are used to read the corresponding queues of events, in groups
of four maximum, using a specific protocol to make sure no events are lost, even if
communication problems occur.

Modbus communication Transferring records
Presentation
Sepam records different types of data:
b disturbance recording
b tripping contexts
b out-of-sync context
b data log
b motor start report
b motor start trend
The list of available records may be read in the corresponding directory zones.
Two Modbus transfer zones per port recover records using a specific protocol
ensuring correct transfer, even if communication problems occur.
Transfer
Transfer is carried out in the same manner for all types of records. Given the volume
of data, it is transferred in blocks that are compatible in size with Modbus frames.
To make a transfer, the master:
b determines the list of available records by reading the directory zone
b selects the desired record
b waits until it is available and recovers the first block of data, using the exchange
word to ensure correct synchronization
b acknowledges block transfer
b repeats reading and acknowledgment until all the blocks have been received
b reads the directory zone again to check that the record was not overwritten during
transfer.
A record may be transferred as many times as desired, until it is overwritten by a new
record. If a record is made by Sepam while the oldest record is being transferred, the
oldest record is overwritten.
Selection of a new record while a transfer is in progress interrupts the transfer.
Transfer zones
5 Each transfer zone comprises a zone for record selection and a zone reading record
data.
Selection zone
Record transfer is initiated by writing the record identifier to this zone.

Following correct reception of the block of data, the master must acknowledge
reading by writing an exchange word with:
b "Exchange number" field: number of the last exchange carried out
b "Number of bytes" field: set to zero.
If transfer of the record is not finished, the exchange word is reset to FFFFh while the
next block of data is prepared, otherwise the exchange word is not modified.
As long as a read has not been acknowledged, the zone remains as is and it is
possible to read it again.
If acknowledgment is incorrect (incorrect value for the exchange word), it is not taken
into account and the zone remains as is.
Note: It is not necessary to acknowledge tripping contexts or out-of-sync contexts which are
contained in a single block.
Data coding
Disturbance recording
Each record comprises two files as defined by the COMTRADE standard:
b configuration file (.CFG)
b data file (.DAT) in binary mode.
Because the configuration and data files are transferred together, a block may
contain the end of the configuration file and the beginning of the data file of a record.
It is up to the remote monitoring and control system to reconstruct the files in
accordance with the transmitted number of usable bytes and the size of the files
indicated in the directory zone.

Modbus communication Access to remote settings
Presentation
Access to Sepam settings via Modbus communication allows the user to remotely:
b read settings remotely (remote reading)
b modify settings remotely (remote setting), if it has been authorized.
Two Modbus zones per port offer access to the settings, using a specific protocol.
Accessible functions
Remote reading of settings concerns:
b all protection and similar functions
b the main Sepam general parameters.
Remote setting concerns exclusively the protection and similar functions.
Operating principle
Remote setting reading
For remote setting reading, the master:
b selects the function whose settings are requested (write in the request zone)
b waits until it is available and recovers the setting values, using the exchange word
to ensure correct synchronization (read the setting read zone).

For remote setting, the master:
NOTICE b selects the function whose settings are to be modified remotely and provides the

Modbus communication Customized table
Presentation
To reduce the number of Modbus exchanges required by the master to collect the
most frequently used information (and the bandwidth used on the network), a
customized table can be set up on each communication port of Sepam series 60.
This table is defined via Modbus, using a configuration table.
Use

table is used as the configuration identifier. It is copied as is in the first word of the
data table. The identifier can have any value, except 0. If the identifier is set to 0,
table configuration is cancelled.
The identifier enables masters to generate a number of typical configurations and to
check which is active. It is also the means to check that no other master has modified
the active configuration. This requires concerted management between the masters.
Each other word in the table contains the Modbus address of the datum that should
be set up in the corresponding spot in the data table (0 if the position is not used).
Only certain Modbus addresses can be set up in these tables. The valid addresses
are indicated in this document by "yes" in the "Config." column in the descriptions.
It is possible to write the table in part or in whole from any address. When 125 words
are used (the maximum size of the data table), at least two writings are required to
5
fill the configuration table because the maximum size of a Modbus write is 123 words.
Reading the configuration table
This function is used to read and check the configuration of the data table. Each
address word can have one of the following values:
b 0000: position not used
b FFFFh: invalid address
b Address: address correctly configured.
It is possible to read the zone in part or in whole from any address.
Example: by writing 0C8F to 268C, the result at 260C is a copy
of the contents at address 0C8F (check-word).

sufficient for the given application.) Exception replies
Sepam sends a Modbus type 07 exception reply (not acknowledged) if the data table
has not been set up. This may occur in the following cases:
b the table was never set up
b the table was set up, but one or more addresses are incorrect
The configuration table can be read again to identify the addresses in question;
b the configuration was cancelled (the identifier was set to 0)
b the configuration was lost (Sepam de-energized). In this case, it must be reloaded.
SEPED310017EN 317
Modbus communication Security
Presentation
With Sepam, it is possible to protect remote controls and remote settings using a
password.
Password protection of remote control and settings must be activated in the
SFT2841 software.
Two different passwords are required:
b one password for the remote controls
b one password for the remote settings
thus offering differentiated access.
The ON/OFF status of the security function is given by bit 01 of the Sepam check-
word.
Examples Implementation
Secure writing using function 16 (write word) of value The security function uses an extension of the Modbus protocol that encapsulates

Modbus communication Reading Sepam identification
Presentation
The "Read Device Identification" function provides standardized access to the
information required to clearly identify a device.
The description is made up of a set of objects (ASCII character strings).
Sepam series 60 accepts the "read identification" function (conformity level 02).
For a complete description of the function, refer to www.modbus.org. The
description below covers a subset of the function, adapted to Sepam series 60.

Introduction
This appendix describes the Modbus protocol and the functions required for Modbus
communication with Sepam. It is not intended to present the entire protocol.
Master Presentation
Exchanges
DE81022
Frames
All the frames exchanged have the same structure, made up of 3 parts.
Slave address Modbus PDU Check (CRC16)
Synchronization of exchanges
DE80330
Any character that is received after a silence of more than 3.5 characters is
considered as the beginning of a new frame. A minimum silence of 3.5 characters
must always be observed between two frames.
A slave disregards all frames:
b received with a physical error for 1 or more characters (format error, parity error,
etc.)
b with an incorrect CRC16 result
b for which it is not the recipient.
Broadcasting
The master can also address all slaves using the conventional address 0. This type
of exchange is called broadcasting.
Slaves do not respond to broadcast messages. As a result, only messages that do
not require the transmission of data by the slaves can be broadcast.
The broadcasting technique.

The customized curve is unique and only concerns unit 1. However, to retain
consistency with the Sepam software architecture, the same frame format is used for
all units. Unused points are set to (-1, -1). This is the case for the points for unit 2 and
above. It is also the case for additional points for unit 1. For example, if the curve is
defined by 6 points, the last 5 are set to (-1, -1). There is no "Number of points" setting
in the frame.
For each useful point, the value of T must be greater than or equal to that of the
previous point. The first point must be 0 (rising or falling operations are allowed).
The value of U/Un for the last useful point must be greater than all the other values
of U/Un.

Installation LPCT type current sensors
Function
1
Low Power Current Transducer (LPCT) type sensors are voltage-output sensors,
which are compliant with the IEC 60044-8 standard.
PE50031
The Schneider Electric range of LPCTs includes the following sensors: CLP1, CLP2,
CLP3, TLP130, TLP160 and TLP190.
CCA670/CCA671 connector
Function
The 3 LPCT sensors are connected to the CCA670 or CCA671 connector on the rear
DE51674
panel of Sepam.
The connection of only one or two LPCT sensors is not allowed and
causes Sepam to go into fail-safe position.
The two CCA670 and CCA671 interface connectors serve the same purpose,
the difference being the position of the LPCT sensor plugs:
b CCA670: lateral plugs, for Sepam series 20 and Sepam series 40
b CCA671: radial plugs, for Sepam series 60 and Sepam series 80.
Description
1 3 RJ45 plugs to connect the LPCT sensors.

Installation MCS025
Synchro-check module
Function
PE50285
The MCS025 module is used with Sepam series 60 and Sepam series 80.
The MCS025 module checks the voltages upstream and downstream of a circuit
breaker to ensure safe closing (ANSI 25).
It checks the differences in amplitude, frequency and phase between the two
measured voltages, taking into account voltage abscence.
Three relay outputs may be used to send the close enable to several Sepam units.
The circuit-breaker control function of each Sepam unit will take this close enable into
account.
The settings for the synchro-check function and the measurements carried out by the
module may be accessed by the SFT2841 setting and operating software, similar to
the other settings and measurements for the Sepam.

Note 1: SFT2841 uses the Modbus TCP/IP communication protocol.
Although communication is IP-based, use of SFT2841 is restricted to a local installation network
based on an Ethernet network (LAN – Local Area Network).
The operation of SFT2841 over a WAN (Wide Area Network) cannot be guaranteed because of
the presence of some routers or firewalls that may reject the Modbus protocol, causing
communication times that would be incompatible with Sepam.
Note 2: SFT2841 allows Sepam protection settings to be modified, and direct activation of the
outputs. These operations, which could involve the operation of electrical switchgear (opening
and closing), and thus risk the safety of people and installations, are protected by the Sepam
password. In addition to this protection, the E-LANs and S-LANs must be designed as private
networks, protected from external actions by all suitable methods.

When configuring a Sepam network, SFT2841 displays the list of all the modems

The communication parameters to be defined are:
b modem: select one of the modems listed by SFT2841
b telephone no.: no. of the remote modem to be called
b speed: 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bauds
b parity: none (not adjustable)
b handshake: none, RTS or RTS-CTS
b time-out: from 100 to 3000 ms.
Communication via modem and telephone network is slowed considerably because
of the transit time through the modems. A time-out of between 800 ms and 1000 ms
is sufficient in most 38400 baud installations. In some cases, the poor quality of the
telephone network may require a slower speed (9600 or 4800 bauds). The time-out
value should then be increased (2 to 3 seconds).

Symbol animation
Depending on the value of their inputs, symbols change. A graphic representation
corresponds to each state. Animation is carried out automatically by changing the
symbol each time the state changes.
The symbol inputs must be assigned directly to the Sepam inputs indicating the
position of the symbolized switchgear.
Animated symbols with two inputs
"Animated - 2 inputs" and "Controlled - 2 inputs/outputs" symbols are animated
symbols with two inputs, one open and the other closed.
This is the most common situation in representing switchgear positions.
The symbol has three states, i.e. three graphic representations: open, closed and
unknown.
The latter is obtained when the inputs are not matched, in which case it is impossible
to determine the position of the switchgear.

General principles
b All the tests should be carried out with the MV cubicle completely isolated
and the MV circuit breaker racked out (disconnected and open)
b All the tests are to be performed in the operating situation.
The SFT2841 parameter setting and operating software is the basic tool for all
Sepam users. It is especially useful during Sepam commissioning tests. The tests
described in this document are systematically based on the use of that tool.

Commissioning Checking of GOOSE logic input
connections
Procedure
This check is carried out using the "GOOSE test" screen accessed from the "Input,
output and LED status" tab in the SFT2841 software.
PE80429
This screen can be used to perform 2 types of test on GOOSE logic inputs:
b A test by controlling a GOOSE test variable
b A test by forcing remote indications (TS)
Test by controlling a GOOSE test variable
The test by controlling a GOOSE test variable is used to check that IEC 61850
communication is fully operational with all the Sepam units included in the IEC 61850
configuration.
This test allows to activate 4 GOOSE logic input test variables
(LD0.GSE_GGIO1_Test1 to LD0.GSE_GGIO1_Test4).
These 4 GOOSE logic input test variables use 4 test data items defined in the
IEC 61850 model of the Sepam units.
Using the SFT850 software, the user configures the test logic to be used with these
4 test variables.
Clicking on the [Test] button sets the selected GOOSE test variables to 1 for the
duration specified.
SFT2841: GOOSE logic input test Test by forcing remote indications (TS)
The test by forcing remote indications is used to check the configuration of the relays
subscribed to the GOOSE inputs to be used and the control logic associated with the
GOOSE inputs to which the Sepam is subscribed.
The screen initially displays the actual state of the Sepam remote indications
For each remote indication to be enforced, the test consists of:
1. Select the number of the remote indication to be forced by placing the pointer on
the corresponding numbered box. If it exists, the description of the IEC 61850
variable corresponding to the remote indication appears in a pop-up.
2. Check that the remote indication selected matches the IEC 61850 variable
displayed in the pop-up.
3. Click on the remote indication(s) to be forced:
b Click once to force to 0
b Click twice to force to 1
4. Set the test duration by entering the desired value.
5. Click the [Test] button: All the selected remote indications are forced for the set
duration.
This function is available whether the SFT2841 software is connected on the front
panel of the Sepam or to a Sepam network.

Digital I/O: Input status is taken into account only
when the end of the initialization is effective,
Improved accuracy on the trip time of the 50BF,
Modbus: stabilization of the TS240 “Ethernet
communication fault” transmission by increasing the
number of confirmations,
Logic selectivity: blocking is achieved if the circuit
breaker is in the closed position. Reset of protections
occurs only when the breaker is in closed position,
The rounding of the calculation of the nominal
active power is reviewed to coincide with SFT2841
software one,
Disturbance: the "nrate" bit is set to 0 instead
of 1 to allow the COMTRADE reader to use the date
of each point instead of a fixed sampling,
