CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 1.1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES
Figure 1-1: Front view of C650 half-rack unit
Figure 1-2: Front view of C650 full-rack unit

1.1.1.2 Communication board withdrawal/insertion
MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION SHALL ONLY BE PERFORMED BY DULY QUALIFIED

WARNING SERVICE PERSONNEL. FOR PERSONAL SECURITY PURPOSES, BEFORE ACCOMPLISHING ANY
WITHDRAWAL OR INSERTION OPERATION, THE UNIT MUST BE POWERED OFF AND ALL THE REAR
TERMINALS MUST BE POTENTIAL FREE. THE UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED USING THE REAR
GROUNDING SCREW.
The modular design of the unit allows for the withdrawal and insertion of the communication module.
Figure 1-1: Module withdrawal/insertion for half-rack unit shows the location of communication modules on the rear part
of the relay. Qualified personnel must carry out the insertion or extraction of the communication boards only after
disconnecting the unit auxiliary voltage and ensuring that all the rear terminals are potential free.
Communication boards are installed on the rear of the unit, with upper port reserved for the asynchronous
communications board and CAN bus, and the lower port for the ETHERNET board. (The Ethernet module can be withdrawn
or inserted only in models with Rear Ethernet Communication Board 2: "B", "C", "D" or "E". For the remaining options,
Ethernet communications are included in the main CPU).
Before performing any of these actions, control power must be removed from the unit and all the rear terminals must
be potential free. A grounded antistatic wristband must be used when manipulating the module in order to avoid
electrostatic discharges that may cause damage to the electronic components.
WITHDRAWAL: Loosen the small screws that keep the faceplate in place and extract the module.
INSERTION: Insert the module and press it firmly in the case, until it is completely fixed. After this, bolt the faceplate
screws and replace the control power. Check that the unit is fully operative.
Figure 1-1: Module withdrawal/insertion for half-rack unit
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage to the unit, connected equipment or personnel whenever these
safety rules are not followed.

1.1.1.3 Magnetic module terminals

Magnetic module terminals are only available in models with Enhanced functionality (Display option E, C, D). The
transformer module for the VTs and CTs is already connected to a female connector screwed to the case. The current
inputs incorporate shorting bars, so that the module can be extracted without the need to short-circuit the currents
externally. It is very important, for safety reasons, not to change or switch the terminals for CTs and VTs.
Figure 1-1: Rear view of C650 unit
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage of the relay, connected equipment or personnel whenever
these safety rules are not followed.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 1.2 OVERVIEW
1.2 Overview
1.2.1 Introduction to the 650 family of relays
The GE 650 family relay is a new generation of digital and multifunction equipment that is easily incorporated into
automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels.
1.2.2 Hardware architecture
1.2.2.1 C650 basic design

The 650 is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The 650 family can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming
device, or another 650 device.
The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as
programming logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input Elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The 650 isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the unit.
Output Elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital signals that can be used to
control field devices.
Figure 1-1: 650 concept block diagram

1.2 OVERVIEW CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.2.2.2 C650 signal type

Contact Inputs/Outputs: Digital signals.
CT and VT inputs: Signals coming from the inputs of current and voltage transformers, used for monitoring the power
system signals.
Remote CAN Bus Inputs/Outputs: Signals associated with physical input/output contacts from a Remote Digital Input/
Output Module (CIO) connected to the 650 unit via the CAN Bus existing in options X, Y, Z, C and M for rear serial
communication board 1.
PLC: Programmable Logic Controller. Control module that enables the unit configuration (assignment of inputs/outputs)
and the implementation of logic circuits.
Remote inputs and outputs: Provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote devices using IEC
61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.
Analog Inputs: Signals associated with transducers.
1.2.3 Communications architecture

A dedicated serial port is used for communication between the main processor and the human-machine interface. The
serial connection provides immunity against electromagnetic disturbances, thus increasing system safety.
All 650 units incorporate one USB serial port on the front of the relay. They can also incorporate up to two additional
communication modules on the rear.
The rear serial communications board 1 provides asynchronous serial communications, using different physical media
(Cable remote CAN bus I/O or RS485 + cable remote CAN bus I/O, plastic or glass fiber optic) depending on the selected
model. The module incorporates two identical ports, COM1 and COM2. The COM2 port is multiplexed with the front port.
Additionally, this module may incorporate a port for CAN bus communications, used for the connection to the remote CAN
Bus I/O module. This feature increases the I/O capability by up to 100% if the maximum number of I/Os available inside the
relay is not enough for a specific application. Available options are:
Table 1-1: Rear serial communications board 1
Board Code Functionality
F Without additional communication ports
A Two RS485 ports
P Two Plastic F.O. ports
G Two Glass F.O. ports
X Two RS485 ports and a CAN port for remote CAN bus Inputs/Outputs
Y Two Plastic F.O. ports and a CAN port for remote CAN bus Inputs/Outputs (fiber)
Z Two Glass F.O. ports and a CAN port for remote CAN bus Inputs/Outputs (fiber)
C CAN port for remote CAN Bus I/O (cable)
M RS485 port (Modbus RTU)+ RS485 port and a CAN port for remote CAN Bus I/O (cable)
Rear serial communications board 2 provides Ethernet communications (COM3). For C650 models, this board is only used
for bootware and firmware upgrades, and is not available during normal operation.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 1.2 OVERVIEW
Available Options are:

M PRP, HSR, RSTP, 1588, 10/100 Base TX + Redundant 100 Base TX
Finally, internal communication with input and output modules is performed via an internal CAN Bus, independent of the
one used for remote CAN Bus I/Os. This provides increased communication speed, and acknowledgement of modules,
abnormalities, etc. As this is a serial port supporting a communications protocol, it provides immunity against external or
internal disturbances.

1.4 650 HARDWARE CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.4 650 hardware

1.4.1 Mounting & wiring
Refer to Chapter 3. Hardware for detailed mounting and wiring instructions.
1.4.2 650 communications

The Enervista 650 Setup software communicates with the relay via the faceplate USB Type B port or the rear RS485/
Ethernet ports. To communicate via the faceplate USB Type B Port, a standard USB type AB plug cable is used. The USB
type B plug end is connected to the C650 unit and the USB type A plug en is connected to the PC USB type A port.
To communicate via the C650 rear RS485 port from a PC RS232 port, the GE Multilin RS232/RS485 converter box is
required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a “straight-through” serial cable. A shielded
twisted-pair (20, 22 or 24 AWG according to American standards; 0.25, 0.34 or 0.5 mm2 according to European standards)
connects the F485 converter to the C650 rear communication port.
To minimize communication errors that can be caused by external noise, a shielded twisted pair is recommended. In order
to avoid loops where external currents can flow, the cable shield must be grounded at one end only.
The converter box (-, +, GND) terminals are connected to the relay (SDA, SDB, GND) terminals respectively. For long
communications cables (longer than 1 km), the RS485 circuit must be terminated in an RC network (i.e. 120 ohm, 1 nF). This
circuit is shown in Figure 1-1: RS485 connection for 650 units, associated with the text Zt(*).
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. For correct operation, polarity must
be respected, although a different polarity will not damage the unit. For instance, the relays must be connected with all
RS485 SDA terminals connected together, and all SDB terminals connected together. This may result in confusion, as the
RS485 standard refers to terminals “A” and “B”, although many devices use terminals labeled “+” and “-“.
As a general rule, terminals labeled “A” should be connected to terminals “-“, and terminals “B” to “+”. The GND terminal
should be connected to the common wire inside the shield, when provided. Otherwise, it should be connected to the shield.
Each relay should also be daisy chained to the next relay in the system. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this
manner without exceeding driver capability; for larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also
possible to use commercially available repeaters to increase the number of relays on a single channel. Do not use other
connection configurations.
Lightening strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are provided internally. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 1.4 650 HARDWARE
Figure 1-1: RS485 connection for 650 units

To communicate through the C650 rear Ethernet port from a PC, a crossover cable is required. If the connection is
performed through a hub or a switch, a direct Ethernet cable is required.
1.4.3 Faceplate display

All messages are displayed on a 20x4 character LCD display. An optional graphic display is also available. Messages are
displayed in different languages depending on the model and configuration settings.

1.4.4 Maintenance
1.4.4.1 General maintenance

The C650 requires minimum maintenance once it is commissioned into service. C650 is a microprocessor based relay and
its characteristics do not change over time; as such no further functional tests are required. While the C650 performs
continual self-tests, it is recommended that maintenance be scheduled with other system maintenance. This maintenance
can involve in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
If it is concluded that the relay or one of its modules is of concern, contact GE Multilin or one of its representative for
prompt service.
1.4.4.2 In-service maintenance

1. Visual verification of the analog value integrity such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices in the
system).
2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages and LED indications.
3. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust or loose wires.
4. Event recorder file download with further event analysis.
1.4.4.3 Out-of-service maintenance

1. Check wiring connections for firmness.
2. Analog value (current, voltages, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated test
equipment is required.
3. Protection element setpoint verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries against
relay settings).
4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the
system functional testing.
5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion or dust.
6. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
To avoid deterioration of electrolytic capacitors, power up units that are stored in a de-energized
NOTICE state once per year, for one hour continuously.
1.4.4.4 Unscheduled maintenance

Unscheduled maintenance such as during a disturbance causing system interruption:
• View the event recorder and oscillography for correct operation of inputs,outputs and elements.
1.4.5 Storage
Store the unit indoors in a cool, dry place. If possible, store in the original packaging. Follow the storage temperature range
outlined in the Specifications.
To avoid deterioration of electrolytic capacitors, power up units that are stored in a de-energized
NOTICE state once per year, for one hour continuously.

Chapter 2: Product Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 C650 Overview

C650 is a, control, monitoring, metering and registering unit, suitable for many different applications, such as Bay Control
and Monitoring Systems. Voltage, current, power, and energy metering is built into the relay as an optional feature (only
included in C650 units with Enhanced functionality). Current parameters are available as total waveform RMS magnitude,
or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).
Diagnostic features include a sequence of records. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized with an
IRIG-B signal or via SNTP, DNP or Modbus protocol over the Ethernet port. From firmware version 7.00 and above, IEEE
1588 time protocol is also available. Precise time stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the
system. Oscillography data capture may be set to record the measured parameters before and after the event for viewing
on a personal computer (PC). These tools significantly reduce troubleshooting time and simplify report generation in the
event of a system fault.
The C650 unit provides one HMI with a configurable LED matrix of 16 LED indicators, 15 user programmable plus one non-
configurable LED (READY) that shows if the relay is in service. The HMI also provides 3 dedicated keys for command (I/O)
and element selection (SEL). The LED matrix can be configured with any of the four switchgear elements with the open,
closed and selected status available for each of them. A faceplate USB - serial port (COM2) may be used to connect to a PC
for programming settings, configuration and the monitoring of actual values. A faceplate RS232 or USB port may be used
to connect to a PC for programming settings and monitoring actual values.
A variety of communications modules are available. Two rear RS485 ports allow independent access by operating and
engineering personnel. All serial ports use the Modbus® RTU protocol. Optional communications modules include a
100BaseFX Ethernet interface which can be used to provide fast, reliable communications in noisy environments.

2.2 ANSI DEVICE NUMBERS AND FUNCTIONS CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Another option provides two 100BaseFX fiber optic ports for redundancy. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus®/
TCP, DNP 3.0 and TFTP protocols, and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser. The IEC 60870-5-104
protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. The Ethernet port also supports the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and
High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) of IEC 62439-3 (clause 4 (PRP) and clause 5 (HSR)) for firmware version 7.10
and up.

2.4.1 CIO Modules

For applications requiring a high number of inputs and outputs, C650 half-rack units can be connected up to two CIO
modules (Remote CAN Bus I/O module) to use up to 4 additional boards. Also C650 19" rack models are available, which
hold a C650 unit and 2 CIO modules. The 19" RACK device can manage up to 6 I/O boards, however it cannot be externally
connected to a CIO module.
C650 units monitor and configure these I/O boards as if they were internal boards, located on slots F and G. In this case,
the slots are labeled H, J, 2H, and 2J.
The required information to completely define a CIO Module is shown on Table 2–2.
Note1: The CIO 1 rear roulette must be set to 1 and the CIO 2 rear roulette must be set to 3. Both CIO units must be
powered Off and ON after changing the roulette setting.

CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.4 ORDER CODES
Note2: For C650 half-rack models, only one CIO can be linked by CAN fiber to the 650 unit. The second CIO must be linked

Notes:
1. These optical power values are measured with the following conditions:
The Beginning of Live (BOL) to the End of Life (EOL) optical power degradation is typically 1.5 dB per industry
convention for long wavelength LEDs. The actual degradation observed in Agilent’s 1300nm LED products is <1 dB, as
specified in this data sheet.
Over the specified operating voltage and temperature ranges.
With HALT Line State, (12.5 MHz square-wave), input signal.
At the end of one meter of noted optical fiber with cladding modes removed.
The average power value can be converted to a peak power value by adding 3 dB. Higher output optical power
transmitters are available on special request.
2. The transmitter provides compliance with the need for Transmit_Disable commands from the FDDI SMT layer by
providing an Output Optical Power level of <-45 dBm average in response to a logic “0” input. This specification
applies to either 62.5/125 μm or 50/125 μm fiber cables.
3. This specification is intended to indicate the performance of the receiver section of the transceiver when Input Optical
Power signal characteristics are present per the following definitions. The Input Optical Power dynamic range from
the minimum level (with a window time-width) to the maximum level is the range over which the receiver is
guaranteed to provide output data with a Bit Error Ratio (BER) better than or equal to 2.5e-10.
At the Beginning of Life (BOL).
Over the specified operating temperature and voltage ranges.
4. All conditions for Note 3 apply except that the measurement is made at the center of the symbol with no window
time-width.

INTERFACES, SETTINGS & ACTUAL VALUES
3.1 EnerVista 650 Setup software

3.1.1 Introduction
The EnerVista 650 Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two direct interfaces with a 650
device. The alternate interface is implemented via the device faceplate keypad and display (see the Human Machine
Interface (HMI) section in this chapter).
The EnerVista 650 Setup software interface provides access to configure, monitor, maintain, and trouble-shoot the
operation of relay functions, connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while
disconnected (offline) or connected (online) with a 650 device. In offline mode, settings files can be created for eventual
download to the device. In online mode, real-time communication with the device is supported.
The EnerVista 650 Setup software, provided with every C650 relay, can be run from a computer supporting Microsoft
Windows XP(SP 2 or 3), Windows 7 or Windows 8. This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista 650 Setup
software interface features. The EnerVista 650 Setup Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista
650 Setup software interface.
The EnerVista 650 Setup software package uses ModBus protocol, and is designed to communicate with a single relay at a
time. GE offers different communication software packages, such as GE-POWER, which can be used to communicate
simultaneously with several relays.
EnerVista 650 Setup software provides an easy way to configure, monitor and manage all C650 features.

3.1 ENERVISTA 650 SETUP SOFTWARE CHAPTER 3: INTERFACES, SETTINGS & ACTUAL VALUES
3.1.1.1 Using settings files

The EnerVista 650 Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
1. In offline mode (relay disconnected), create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
2. In online mode (relay connected), modify any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then save the settings to
the relay.
3. Combining online and offline modes, create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is
connected to the relay.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
• Product Setup
• System Setup
• Protection Elements
• Control Elements
• Inputs/Outputs
• Quick Settings
• Relay Configuration
• Logic Configuration
3.1.1.2 Viewing actual values

You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measurements while connected to a relay.
3.1.1.3 Viewing triggered events

In online mode, you can view and analyze data generated by triggered specified parameters, via one of the following:
• Event Recorder: The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 479 events, listed in
chronological order from most recent to oldest. For firmware version 7.20 or higher, 511 events are available.
• Oscillography: The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of power
system and relay operation data captured during specific triggered events.
3.1.1.4 Firmware upgrades

The firmware of a C650 device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the EnerVista 650 Setup software. Instructions are
provided in Chapter 9: Bootcode and firmware upgrade.
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default values,
minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firmware.
The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
3.1.1.5 One line diagrams

Users can configure a one line diagram (bay mimic) to be used in models with a graphical display.

3.1.3 Connect to the relay

To start communicating with the relay go to Communication > Computer in the main EnerVista 650 Setup menu.
Safety instructions must be followed before connecting the computer to the relay. Safety
NOTICE instructions are detailed in section 1.1.3 Safety instructions. Connect the relay ground terminal and
the communicating computer to a good grounding. Otherwise, communication may not be viable, or
even, in worst cases, the relay and/or the computer can result damaged by overvoltages.
When working online, ensure that all relay communication parameters, such as baud rate, slave ModBus address, etc.,
match the computer settings before connected to the relay.
Figure 3-2: Communication parameters menu

The Communication > Computer screen is divided in several subsections:
• Computer settings: Main communication parameters for serial communication and control type selection.
• Modbus/TCP Setup (if ModBus /TCP is selected as control type): Communication parameters for ModBus TCP
communication.
• Communication control: Device communication status (communicating or not communicating).
• Communication optimization: allows optimizing the communication time outs and failure establishing.

3.1.3.1 Computer Settings

This section shows the communication parameters needed to establish communication with the unit, such as slave
address, communication port, baud rate, parity, control type and startup mode.
Baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits and ModBus slave address for Com2 (RS232 front port and second serial port in the
rear communication board) are displayed in the default text on the relay main screen.
ModBus Slave Address: ModBus address used for serial and Ethernet communication; default 254.
Communication ports: Ports used in the computer for serial communication.
Baud Rate: Baud rate for serial communication (from 1200 to 115200 baud in EnerVista 650 Setup, from 300 to 115200
baud in relay).
Parity: Parity for serial communication. None, odd or even can be selected.
Control Type: The available control modes are:
• No Control Type, this option selects the serial communication mode, for use with serial communication ports (front
port, RS485, or plastic or glass fiber optic).
• MODBUS/TCP, this option selects ModBus TCP/IP communication mode, for communication through the Ethernet port.
In this case, the top right window shows the typical parameters to be programmed; IP address, port address and unit
identifier in the MODBUS TCP SETUP section.
• MODEM, this option displays the parameter to set in case of using a modem for the communication, such as Phone
number, Time out (sec.), init. command, type of dialing (tones or pulses).
3.1.3.2 Communication Control

Located at the bottom of the screen, this section shows the status of communication with the relay. When the relay is not
communicating, the message "650 Setup is not talking to a 650" is shown and the ON button is enabled. Click ON to start
the EnerVista 650 Setup software communicating with the relay.
When the relay is communicating, the message "650 Setup is now talking to an 650" is shown and OFF is enabled. Click
OFF to disconnect communications between the relay and PC.
3.1.3.3 Communication Optimization

Adjusting the parameters in the Communication optimization section can improve communication, although using the
default values is recommended in most cases. These parameters are the maximum time to wait for a response in the relay
(in ms) and the maximum number of connection attempts to perform before assuming communications failure.

sent to relay are operations, events, and LEDs. Now the logic (virtual outputs) can be sent directly to relay
(Run > Send Equations to Relay). Texts of virtual outputs are
not stored in the relay, only in the logic configuration files to
be edited.
When using element libraries (both pre-existing in File Library > Open Library or created by the user in File Library > New
Library), the program creates and manages the corresponding files (*.lib) in a folder named FDB (Functional Block
Diagram). These files are used for PLC project compilation. The element library files must be stored with the other logic
configuration files that build the PLC project (*.pep, *.aut, *.lib).
Besides sending configuration information to the relay (Settings & configuration in *.650 format), storing the complete set
of *.650, *.pep, *.aut and *.lib files inside the relay is recommended (Communication > Upload info files to relay). This
ensures that logic configuration files are available in future for logic modifications. Even if these files are not used by the
relay, they are required to connect to the relay and analyze its configuration. The EnerVista 650 Setup software program
manages the logic configuration files globally, so that when the *.pep file is uploaded to the relay, the associated *.aut and
*.lib files are also stored.

3.2.2 LED indicators

The relay provides 16 LED indicators, 15 user programmable plus one non-configurable LED (READY) that shows if the relay
is in service.
Programmable LEDs are divided into groups of 5 LEDs, each of the groups having a different color. The first group of LED
indicators is latched by hardware (red), usually configured for trip signals. The second group (yellow) and third group
(green) of LED indicators are self-reset and will reset once the condition has been cleared. These LEDs can also be latched
using logic through PLC configuration. For firmware version 7.20 and above, all 15 LEDs are latched through relay settings.
The ESC key is used to reset any latched LED indicator, once the condition has been cleared. Keep the ESC button pressed
for more than 3 seconds; all LEDs light up, verifying their correct operation. When releasing the ESC key, all indicators
programmed with memory, such as tripping LEDs, are reset. For models with enhanced display, there is a reset LEDs
button dedicated for this purpose.
The latched conditions can also be reset via communications using the LED reset input (to configure this signal go to
Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Control Elements > LED RESET INPUT). By default this LED reset input signal is set to
LEDS RESET operation.
3.2.3 Pushbuttons
The front panel provides:
Push buttons: keypad (5 user programmable plus ESC/ESCAPE non configurable), shuttle key or keypad for easy
navigation, command pushbutton to select operations mode.

3.2.3.1 Command push button

The unit incorporates a command pushbutton located at the bottom right side of the HMI interface and at the top left for
Enhanced interface, with three options: local, remote, and off. The first option (LOCAL) allows executing operations in local
mode (HMI, front port, and rear COM2 port). The second option (REMOTE) allows operation execution only through remote
communications (COM1 and ETH_1/ETH2 or ETH_E/ETH_A/ETH_B (Depending on model)). The third option (OFF) blocks the
execution of operations. Each position is identified with an LED indicator, as follows:
LOCAL operations (green)

REMOTE operations (green)
OFF (red)
Press the command button to switch from local to remote operations mode and vice versa. OFF status (operation inhibited
for maintenance and safety) can be reach pressing the commands pushbutton during several seconds (local-remote-off
sequence).
The local-remote-off sequence can be also available through communications (see chapter 5.8), with a configurable signal
that can be set in the Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Control Elements screen.

Figure 3-25: Commands in HMI

3.2.5.9 Passwords
The C650 units incorporate independent passwords for protection and control, in order to prevent unauthorized keypad
and display access to the relay.
Settings Password:
This password restricts access to settings changes in the relay protection elements.
Commands Password:
This password restricts access to executing operation commands through the keypad and display.
If the Commands Password is activated, when the user tries to execute an operation, the relay requests this password.
When using single-line diagrams for graphical display models, all objects are not operational until the password is entered,
either by logging in to Login Pwd Commands, or by entering the password in the Commands menu.
Relay settings view, measures, and other monitored information are not password-protected, and can be accessed by all
users.
The password menu is located at the Password option in the relay text menu. This menu includes the following options:
"Login Pwd Settings"
"Logout Pwd Settings"
"Change Pwd Settings"
"Login Pwd Commands"
"Logout Pwd Commands"
"Change Pwd Commands"
"Forgot Password?"
Among the available options in this menu, there are three types of functionality:
Login: For entering the password, either for settings or commands, and enable access to settings
or commands. Once entering the password the relay is no longer password protected, and
access is enabled to settings modification or commands execution.
Logout: Once the necessary setting changes or operation commands have been executed, the
user can log out, so that the relay is password protected again.
Change: Setting or modifying the desired password.
Forgot Password: Retrieves the encrypted password, so that it can be recovered if the user loses or forgets it.
Passwords are restricted for Settings change and Commands execution. To password-protect the relay, it is first
necessary to set the desired password, using the corresponding Change Pwd... menu. The default password is 0000. This
password provides access to the whole relay functionality.
Once a new password has been set, the user must log in to access the protected functionality; otherwise, the relay
requests the password when trying to change settings or execute commands. Once the password is entered the relay is
unprotected (as if the user had logged in), and remains so for 15 minutes of inactivity or until the user logs out.
Password range
The valid range for C650 passwords is a number from 0000 to 9999.
The default password is 0000, which provides access to the whole relay functionality. This is the default option for enabling
relay use without using passwords.
Entering passwords (Login PWD)

This operation is the same for both the settings and commands passwords. The only difference is the access menu. For
entering the password, the user must access the Login menus inside the Password menu.
Login Pwd Settings or Login Pwd Commands:
The relay requests the password with the following message on the screen:

Setting passwd.
Login: < 1000 >
For entering the desired password, the user must press up-down key or rotate the shuttle key to the left (decrease) or to
the right (increase), and establish the desired number. Once entered, the selected password between brackets has been
entered, the relay shows the message "Processing passwd. Wait...". If the password is correct, the relay allows access to
the settings change or command execution. It is not necessary to enter the password every time a change is to be
performed. The relay requests the password again after 15 minutes of inactivity. This period of time is the same that takes
the relay to turn off the display backlighting.
Logging out (Logout PWD)

To disable access to settings and commands, the user must logout.
Logout Pwd Settings or Logout Pwd Commands:
For safety reasons, the relay automatically logs out the active user 15 minutes after the last keypad action.
Changing the password (Change PWD commands)

To set a password in the relay, both for settings and commands, the corresponding menu must be accessed inside the
Password menu:
Change Pwd Settings or Change Pwd Commands:
To change the password, the user must first log in with the existing password; if the relay has the default factory
password, this would be 0000.
The relay requests the existing password with the following message:
(Setting or Command) passwd.
Login: < 0000 >
Once the existing password has been acknowledged, the new password must be entered:
(Setting or Command) passwd.
New passwd: < 1000 >
Once the new password has been entered, the relay returns to the general Passwords menu.
Service Command for password recovery

In the event of losing all passwords, the Service Command allows the customer to reset both Settings and Commands HMI
Passwords.
1. Customer must call the customer support service.
2. A secret key will be provided by customer support to facilitate the reset
3. At the moment, the HMI has no passwords for Settings and Commands. The customer can reintroduce new
passwords.

3.2.5.10 Select main screen

The relay display offers the possibility to select the default main screen. For this purpose, the user must access Select
Main Screen through the HMI. This menu includes the following options:
Logotype
This option selects as main screen the relay logotype including the firmware and boot code versions, the relay model and
the communication parameters for local port COM2.
Figure 3-26: Default logotype screen

This option alternates in time the two previous options.
3.2.5.11 Select language

Option only available for versions 1.70 or higher than 5.20.
The relay display offers the possibility to select the default language for the relay. For this purpose, the user must access
the "Select language" menu located at the end of the main menu through the HMI. This menu allows the user to set the
default language of the relay between English (always available) and second language selected in the relay model.
For example one relay in French language (e.g. FC650MZDF2G1HIRF) can be displayed in French or in English only by
changing the language setting in HMI. It is necessary to switch off and on the relay to start working with the new language
configuration in the relay. In EnerVista 650 Setup it is possible to select the language for the software (View > Languages).
Example of language selection in HMI

Press the enter/shuttle key to enter the select language menu.

Depending on the relay model there are different language selections available:
English/French, English/ Russian, etc.
Press up-down keys or rotate the shuttle key to select the desired language and
press enter to store the selection in the relay
Once the new language has been selected it is necessary to reboot the relay in
order to start working with the new language in the device.

NOTICE
A STEP LIST SUMMARY that allows the user to control the upgrading process is included at the end of this section. It is
necessary to read paragraphs 1 to 4 of chapter 9 of manual GEK-106310 before accomplishing the C650 UPGRADE
PROCEDURE.
Be aware that boot program and firmware upgrades erase all data contained in the relay, thus it is advisable to save all
data, oscillography, events, settings and configuration files before proceeding.
RELAYS WITH FIBER OPTIC ETHERNET

The upgrade of the boot program (BOOTCODE) must be performed by crossed Ethernet copper cable connected to the
PC. It is not necessary to change the internal switch from fiber to RJ45, because the upgrade is made at 10Mb/s.
This does not apply to the firmware upgrade, which can be done either via Ethernet Fiber connection, or through the
RJ45 cable connection.
For upgrading firmware versions lower than 3.20 or upgrading bootware, be aware to calibrate the unit offset, after
upgrading it, in Communication > Calibration > Offset Calibration. No analog currents nor analog voltages must be
injected in the unit during this process.

CHAPTER 5: BOOTCODE AND FIRMWARE UPGRADE 5.1 FIRMWARE UPGRADE VERSIONS BELOW 7.00.
5.1.1 Communication parameters

1. Ethernet Connection/Type - Both boot code and firmware upgrade processes require Ethernet communications. It is
strongly recommended to use a direct connection between the PC and the relay using a Cross-Over RJ45 Ethernet
cable, instead a direct connection through a hub or switch. Upgrading through Local Area Network (LAN) must be
avoided.
Serial RS232 Communication - Serial communication is necessary only to perform the bootware upgrade for versions
previous to 7.00.
2. Relay IP Address - An IP address must be assigned to the relay in the Ethernet parameters via HMI at Product Setup >
Communication > Ethernet > Ethernet1 menu, or via Enervista 650 Setup software at Setpoint > Product Setup >
Communication Settings > Network (Ethernet) 1 as shown in the table below:
Table 5-1: Ethernet parameters

Product Setup > Communication Settings > Network (Ethernet) 1
Name Value Units Range
IP Address Oct1 192 [0 : 255]
Netmask Oct1 255 [0 : 255]
Netmask Oct2 255 [0 : 255]
Netmask Oct3 255 [0 : 255]
Netmask Oct4 0 [0 : 255]
Gateway IP Oct1 192 [0 : 255]
3. PC IP Address - In case the boot code has been previously updated to the relay (section 9.2), the IP address and other
parameters already assigned in the process are:
IP Address:192.168.37.177
Netmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.37.10
Then the PC settings should be the same pattern as follows:
IP Address:192.168.37.xxx
Netmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.37.10 (if desired)
Where XXX is a number between 0 and 255 that is not assigned to any other device to avoid collisions.
4. Other Network, Communications and Data Flow checks
• According to the model number of the relay, to enable the 10/100 BASE TX-CABLE option in the relay communication
board, a specific jumper in this board must be changed. See detailed instructions in paragraph 3.4.3 of Instruction
Manual GEK-106310AE.
• IP address, netmask, gateway are correct and match the parameters used in the computer to perform the procedure.
See table 9.1 (on this chapter) of Manual GEK-106310AE COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS.

5.1.2 Bootware version upgrade
Boot code upgrade is performed using EnerVista 650 Setup, and the most recent version of Enervista 650 setup software
should be used. It is required that no active communication is currently established between the program and the relay,
and that no configuration files are open.
During the boot code upgrading process, all the data stored in the relay is lost. Save all calibration, settings, oscillography,
etc. from the relay before starting the upgrade.
5.1.2.1 Bootware upgrade

1. Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Operating Systems must be used for installation and the reliable operation of
Enervista 650 Setup program and bootware/firmware relay upgrade.
2. To upgrade the boot code, it is required to connect an RS232 cable to the front of the relay, and an Ethernet cable to
the rear port (ETH_1/ETH_2 or ETH_E/ETH_A/ETH_B).
3. If it is being used a USB-to-Serial RS232 Cable Converter, it must be a RS-232C standard compliant, powered by the
User computer's USB bus and with DB9 male connector. To ensure the correct state of communication between the
computer and the relay along the whole upgrading process, all other USB devices must be unplugged. Due to the
extended variety of USB-to-Serial Cable Converters existing nowadays in the market, with different characteristics,
even different charge imposed to the USB bus of the PC, it is strongly recommended to use the GE USB-to-Serial RS232
Cable Converter, part number GE0100-0001.
4. When using USB-to-Serial RS232 cable it is necessary first to determine the COM Port number the Laptop uses
through the USB device. Depending in the actual C650 upgrade task under operation, the procedure is as follows:
4.1 Firmware upgrade: It is not necessary to use a serial cable
4.2 Bootware and firmware upgrade being the relay fully operative with the actual F/W version: The COM port number
must be determined by using the 650 Setup program. With USB device disconnected from the Laptop and from the
relay, start the 650 Setup program. At the top menu bar choose Communication > Computer > Communication Port
menu and check the allowable serial ports displayed.Return to the main 650 Setup screen and connect the USB
device to PC and select Communication > Computer > Communication Port to display the allowed serial ports. The
new one port number shown is the USB port number to be used for the upgrade process.
4.3 Bootware and firmware upgrade being the relay blocked at startup (no preliminary communication PC-Relay
allowable): Repeat the process described above in 4.2 to determine the COM PORT number and continue with upgrade
process.
5. Once the COM PORT number is determined, set it in Communication > Computer together with and the Baud Rate
and Parity parameters. Click Store.
6. Start the EnerVista 650 Setup program and select Communication > Upgrade Relay.
Figure 5-1: Upgrade device

7. Select Device Boot Upgrade. FW version<7.00 and click the […] button. The next new window requires the bootware
file retrieved from http://www.gegridsolutions.com/index.htm and previously stored in the PC.
Figure 5-2: Boot code file selection

8. Choose the bootware file and click Open button:
Figure 5-3: Upgrade selected BOOT file
9. Click Upgrade. A warning messages is shown:
If calibration files were saved click Yes, otherwise click No to cancel the upgrade process and save first the calibration files
according to section 4.1.11.

Figure 5-4: Warning message to save setting and configuration files
10. Parameters already set in step 5 are operative during serial communications. If they have not been previously set a
pop up window prompts for the serial COM port to be used during upgrading.
11. During the upgrade, the system shows the following message indicating the procedure to be followed.
The serial and ethernet warning message is a generic message, the serial connection for C650 models is through a
USB-serial cable. RS232 is used in other 650 devices.
If you click Yes, the next window allows you to choose the Network adapter for your Ethernet connection to the relay.

12. After selecting the Network adapter, a window to choose a temporary IP address is shown. It is advisable to set the
same IP address that is going to be used later in the relay for Ethernet connection.
Figure 5-5: setting address
13. After entering the temporary IP Address, the next new window requires the bootware file retrieved from
http://www.gegridsolutions.com/index.htm and previously stored someplace in the PC.

Figure 5-6: Boot code file selection
14. Choose the bootware file and click Open button.
Figure 5-7: Loading boot code file
15. Then the program shows a message requiring switch OFF and ON the relay while the progress bar is in course, to start
the upgrading process.
Figure 5-8: Relay switch off-on message

16. It is important to switch the Relay OFF and ON again during the time shown by the progress bar; in case this time
expires, the program offers the option to continue with the process or to postpone, verify the correct RS232
connections and try again later. Notice that the serial COM PORT used in the boot upgrade procedure is the one
selected in step 4 above.
Figure 5-9: loading update file error message
If the relay gets stuck during the upgrading process after switching OFF and ON the relay, giving error message shown, it
is due to no serial communication via the front RS232 port. Check the serial cable and serial settings connection. At this
point the relay will not be upgraded.
After switching it OFF and ON it will continue working with the former firmware and bootware versions.
17. After switching the relay OFF and ON, if the serial communication between EnerVista 650 Setup and the relay is
correct the program shows the following message:
Then it requires the confirmation to proceed to upgrade:

18. Click Yes to start the process, beginning with the relay flash memory deletion.
At this point all the information stored in the relay is lost. Until now, no important change has been made to the relay,
the boot memory upgrading process has just been prepared.
This process can take several minutes, during which a progress bar is displayed.
19. If the process is successful, continue to step 20.

If the process is unsuccessful and the relay gets stuck at “Sending file imagen_kernel…” (see figure below)
This error may be due to no communication via the Ethernet port. At this point serial communications work properly,
the relay flash memory has been erased, and the upgrade procedure must be completed to start working with the
unit. If the procedure is not completed, the HMI shows the message "OS Loading..." and the relay does not start up.
In this case refer to step 4 above
If all points from step 4 are correct but the problem persists:
Disable and Enable the Ethernet connection while the files are being sent (during the “Sending file...” message -
previous figure). To do this, in Windows OS go to Startup > Control Panel > Network Connection > Local Network,
right-click and select Disable. Now the Local Network status Icon is shown as Disabled. In the same screen right-click
Local Network, select Enable, and wait until Enabled status is shown.
20. Once the memory has been erased and the files upgraded in the relay, the parameters for the Ethernet
communications must be set. The requested values are the IP address and the gateway.

Figure 5-10: IP address setpoint window
These values should match the LAN structure where the relay will be connected.
The relay IP address should have the first three octets corresponding with the gateway and the last octet must be a
free IP address reserved to the relay to avoid possible collisions with other devices.
The gateway must be the one used in the LAN structure connecting the relay
21. After assigning the Ethernet parameters, the upgrade of the boot code is complete and successful.
22. A window is displayed with the message: Setting Default IP address, followed by:
Figure 5-11: BOOTware upgrade successful process
After boot code upgrade, the equipment firmware must also be upgraded.

5.1.3 Firmware version upgrade
5.1.3.1 Introduction
1. Save relay settings and configuration to a file before proceeding, as they will be lost during upgrade.
2. Save calibration settings to a file for firmware revisions lower than 1.50, before upgrading the C650 to a new firmware
version.
3. For firmware revision higher than 1.50 when only upgrading the firmware (no bootware upgrade), the calibration files
are not modified and do not need to be saved.
4. Special care should be taken when the boot code has been previously upgraded: all data (including calibration
settings) is lost.
5. In case of errors during the firmware upgrade process, repeat the entire process as many times as necessary. This is
possible thanks to an independent boot memory (bootcode).
6. A pure firmware upgrade process should use the EnerVista 650 Setup software and Ethernet connection (Port ETH_1
or ETH2) via a Cross-Over RJ45 Ethernet cable.
Note: Downgrading firmware versions can cause errors in measurements.
5.1.3.2 Firmware upgrade

1. Once communication with the relay through the Ethernet connection has been verified, enter the EnerVista 650 Setup
program and select Communication > Upgrade Relay.

versions below 1.70).

Figure 5-4: Relay serial number

5. If the relay is not an enhanced model or one with control functionality, click Upgrade Firmware to continue the
process (see the following figure).
At this point, proceeding with the upgrade erases all data stored in the equipment, including the calibration settings in
firmware versions below 1.50. It is necessary to save all settings to a file now if you have not already done so.
The Firmware-boot version compatibility warning message is a generic message,
For C650 models the first firmware version is 3.42 with boot 4.10

Click Yes to continue. A message is displayed indicating that a local network reboot is necessary (see following figure).
Proceed as follows:
• In the Windows Control Panel (Start > Control Panel), navigate to Network Connection > Local Network. Right-click
and select Disable. Confirm that the Local Network status is now Disabled. Restart the local network in the same
screen (right-click and select Enable). Wait until the local network status is Enabled before continuing.
• Click Upgrade Firmware to continue the process (as shown).

Figure 5-5: Advisory for local network reboot
6. When upgrading models with Enhanced protection or control functionality (see model selection), the upgrade
program requires a password to continue (as shown).
Figure 5-6: Relay upgrade password

For a model with specialized functionality and a password requirement, contact GE Multilin.
The following parameters must be clearly indicated in the order:

• Unit serial number
• Current model option (before memory upgrade)
• Desired model option (after memory upgrade)
• Unit MAC address (available in the identification label)
7. Once the upgrade parameters have been entered, click OK. When communication has been established, the program
shows a message requesting a reboot of the 650 (turn the relay off and then back on) to continue with the upgrade
process.
8. Once the relay has been rebooted, you are prompted to select the new firmware upgrade file (update.txt).
The upgrade files, including update.txt, can be obtained online (http://www.gegridsolutions.com/index.htm) or from
the Technical Service Dept. at any GE Multilin facility. Save the files in a directory in the root drive or the PC desktop.
Extract any zipped files.
Browse to the "update.txt" file and click Open.

Figure 5-7: Firmware file selection

9. A voltage range selection window appears (see following figure). This voltage range is closely related to the serial
number of the relay. For relays manufactured with firmware version 5.70 or higher (from May 2015 onwards), the
EnerVista 650 Setup program automatically selects the appropriate voltage range for the unit based on the serial
number, showing the selection with a step line square over the proper option. Click OK.
In case an incorrect option is selected, metering errors may arise during normal operation (current and voltage values
incorrectly displayed). In order to correct this behavior, the firmware upgrade process must be repeated and the
correct option must be selected.
Figure 5-8: AC voltage range selection - extended V range (version 2)
10. Click Yes.

11. The Upgrade Firmware button is now enabled (figure below). Click to start the upgrade.

Figure 5-9: Initiate upgrade
During the upgrade process, the program displays the files that are being upgraded.

12. When the file transfer is finished, a message is displayed indicating that it is necessary to wait before resetting the
unit, in order to start working with the new firmware version in the relay (figure below).
13. When the whole process has finished a message is displayed asking to switch the C650 on and off (figure below).
14. Click Ok (Aceptar). At this point, the firmware upgrade is finished and the relay can be powered OFF and ON to check
that the firmware has been upgraded properly.
15. User settings and logic files downloading
When upgrading the firmware the entire settings and relay configuration are reset to factory default values. Then the
User is committed to download the settings, configuration and logic files to the relay in order to get it fully operative.
Calibration settings and configuration must be reloaded to the relay the relay.
To recover and download the different files to the relay go to Enervista 650 Setup and at the top menu bar choose:

6.2 OUT OF SERVICE SETTING CHAPTER 6: COMMISSIONING
6.2 Out of service setting
The Relay Out Of Service setting is configured in Setpoint > System Setup > Miscellaneous. The unit also has an Out of
Service status that is configured in Relay configuration > Protection elements. When active, these states stop all
changes to PLC equations and functions, including changes to the input/output boards, so if there is a change in any input
or output the unit will not show this change until it has returned to ready mode. For example if an output is closed and the
unit goes to the Out of Service state, the output is kept closed even if the state that closed it changes and would otherwise
open the output. When the unit goes out of the Out of Service state, the output is then opened.
When the Out of Service status goes to ON, or the setting has been changed to Enabled, the ready LED also changes to
red. Be careful if ready LED is linked to an output, because the output will not change its state. To set outputs to ready
state see factory default Logic & Configuration in the detailed manual. Take notice that, in the default configuration, the
general setting out of service is enabled, so it is necessary to change to disabled to start working with the unit
The following figure shows the flow chart of these states

CHAPTER 6: COMMISSIONING 6.3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS, POWER SUPPLY NETWORK
6.3 General considerations, power supply network

All devices running on AC current are affected by frequency. As a non-sine wave is the result of a fundamental wave plus a
series of harmonics from this fundamental wave, we can infer that devices running on AC current are influenced by the
applied waveform.
For a correct testing of relays running on AC current, it is fundamental to use a current and/or voltage senoidal waveform.
The pureness of a senoidal wave (lack of harmonics) cannot be expressed specifically for a specific relay. However, any
relay incorporating sintonized circuits, R-L and R-C circuits, is affected by non-senoidal waveforms, as in the case of C650.
These relays respond to the voltage waveform in a different way to the majority of AC current voltmeters. If the power
supply network used for the testing contains wide harmonics, the voltmeter and relay responses are different.
Relays have been calibrated in factory using a Network of 50 or 60 Hz with a minimum harmonic content. When the relay
is tested, a power supply network with no harmonics in its waveform must be used.
The ammeters and chronometers used for testing the pickup current and relay operation time must be calibrated and
their accuracy must be better than the relay’s. The power supply used in the tests must remain stable, mainly in the levels
near the operation thresholds.
It is important to point out that the accuracy with which the test is performed depends on the network and on the
instruments used. Functional tests performed with unsuitable power supply network and instruments are useful to check
that the relay operates properly and therefore its operating characteristics are verified in an approximate manner.
However, if the relay would be calibrated in these conditions, its operational characteristics would be outside the tolerance
range values.
The following sections detail the list of tests for verifying the complete relay functionality.

6.4 ISOLATION TESTS CHAPTER 6: COMMISSIONING
6.4 Isolation tests

During all tests, the screw located on the rear of the relay must be grounded.
For verifying isolation, independent groups are created, and voltage is applied as follows:
2200 RMS volts will be applied progressively among all terminals in a group, short-circuited between them and the
case, during one second.
2200 RMS volts will be applied progressively between groups, during one second.
WARNING: No communication circuit shall be tested for isolation.
Groups to be created depend on the type of modules included in C650, selectable according to the model.
The following table shows the different groups depending on the module type:

Chapter 7: Frequently asked questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
7.1 Communications
Q1. Does the C650 support DNP and ModBus over the Ethernet port?
A1. C650 units support both protocols over both the asynchronous serial ports and the Ethernet LAN synchronous port using
TCP/IP and UDP/IP layers over the Ethernet.
Q2. Does this equipment support dual IP access?

A2. Yes, it supports two independent IP addresses in aliasing mode. Those address go in the communications settings
Network0 and Network1.
Q3. Is the protocol IEC 870-103 supported by the C650?

A3. Yes, IEC 870-103 is supported by the C650 in firmware version 5.00 and higher.
Q4. Can the C650 be used as a DNP master station?

A4. Not at this moment. It works as a slave IED station for all protocols.
Q5. How many communication ports are included in the C650?

A5. The equipment has 2 different boards, one for asynchronous serial ports and another for a high-speed synchronous
Ethernet port. The first board has 2 comm ports, COM1 and COM2. COM2 is multiplexed with the front serial RS232 port,
whereas the COM1 port is completely independent from COM2.
The synchronous LAN port is ETH_1/ETH2 or ETH_E/ETH_A/ETH_B (Depending on model.
Q6. Are there one or two Ethernet ports?

A6. The equipment has only 1 Ethernet port. For redundant fiber optic versions, redundancy is done at the physical level (fiber
optic) but there is just one port.

7.1 COMMUNICATIONS CHAPTER 7: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q7. How many different communication Ethernet sessions can be opened through the LAN port?
A7. ModBus TCP/IP:4 sockets
DNP TCP/IP:3 sessions (from version 1.72 on)
Q8. May I use the cooper 10/100 BaseTX connection included in the basic model with all protocols?
A8. Yes, it may be used with all protocols. In noisy substation environments and/or long distances, it is recommended to use
fiber optic options due to much better EMC performance and immunity. For fiber optic models, it is necessary to adjust an
internal jumper to use the copper port.
Q9. Remote I/O CAN bus. Does it support DeviceNet protocol?
A9. No it does not support DeviceNet.
Q10. Which functions are available in the relay web server?

A10. Currently, it includes several functions for viewing measures and retrieving information.
Q11. Q11 May I use URPC to program the relay?

A11. Only oscillography records may be viewed with URPC once downloaded to a file using the ENERVISTA 650 Setup software.
Q12. May I connect URs and C650s to the same Ethernet?

A12. Yes, either in cable as in fiber, or even mix them.
Q13. How do I connect with fiber 10-BASE-FL UR relays with 100-BASE-FX C650 relays?
A13. Take into account that an UR is never connected directly to a C650 (neither two UR nor two C650 with each other) but they
are always connected through a hub or switch. The hub or switch where the URs are connected must be 10-BASE-FL and
the hub or switch for the C650 must be 100-BASE-FX.
Q14. How do I connect with cable 10_BASE-T UR relays with 10/100-BASE-TX C650 relays?
A14. The answer to this question is as described before but also in this case there is an advantage added, because the hub 10-
BASE-TX port is able to understand a 10-BASE-T port. This means that a hub 10-BASE-T port may be connected to an UR
or a C650, and a hub 10/100-BASE-TX port may be connected either to an UR or C650.
Q15. What happens with fiber optic connectors compatibility, because the hub that I have has a different connector to the
one of the C650, although both are 100-BASE-FX?
A15. Just buy fiber cables with the appropriate male connectors. For the UR and C650 side we need the same connectors, ST
type, for the hub side, the correspondent ones. And in what concerns to the fiber type, it is used the same for 10 as for 100,
it is the 50/125 or 62.5/125 multimode, this last one allows longer distances.
Q16. What is the difference between a hub and a switch?

A16. In a repeater type hub (shared hub), one unit talks and the rest listen. If all the units are talking at the same time there may
be collisions in the messages, what may produce certain communication delays.
The switch (switched hub) has very powerful processors and a lot of memory and it is much more expensive than the hub.
It directs messages to the proper destination avoiding collisions and allowing a much more efficient communication.
Q17. Why do we have 10/100 compatibility for cable but not for fiber?

CHAPTER 7: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 7.2 PROTECTION
A17. The cable has some advantages that the fiber does not have, and it is that the signal attenuation in short and medium
distances, is worthless and this is truth for low and high frequency signals. By the contrary, the light in one fiber optic is
highly attenuated, being much worse in case of high frequencies than in the low ones. The 10-BASE-FL fiber transmission
is performed in a wavelength of 850nm, what allows a less expensive electronic than the 1300 nm used in 100-BASE-FX
fiber transmission. Using, in both cases, the same glass multimode fiber type, the attenuation to 1300 nm is lower than the
850 nm ones, this way the greater attenuation of the 100 Mbits is compensated. There is another fiber standard, the 100-
BASE-SX, which uses 850 nm to 100 Mbits, being compatible with the 10-BASE-FL one, although it sacrifices the maximum
distance to 300 m. Nowadays, this standard has not had success among Ethernet equipment manufacturers and
suppliers.
7.2 Protection
Q1. Does the C650 support IRIG-B signals? Which type and accuracy? How many units may be connected to the same
source?
A1. Yes, the C650 includes an IRIG-B input for all models, including the basic ones.
It uses DC level format B. Formats used are B0000, B0002 and B0003.
Actual accuracy is 1 millisecond. Internal sampling rate allows true 1 ms accuracy time tagging.
The input burden is very low. The maximum number of units that may be connected to a generator depends on its output
driving capability. Up to 60 units have been successfully connected with equipments commonly used in the market.
Q2. Does the equipment work with dry inputs in both AC and DC?
A2. The equipment works only with DC inputs.
Inputs should be driven with externally generated DC current. No special 48 Vdc or other outputs are included in the
equipment to drive these inputs; therefore, contacts connected to the equipment should be connected to a DC source.
Q3. Is it oscillography programmable?
A3. Yes, the sampling rate is programmable (4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 samples per input). The depth depends on the sampling rate.
Q4. Do I have to select a different model for 1 or 5 A?

A4. No. The same model is able to work with either /1 A or /5 A rated secondary currents. There are high accuracy sensing
transformers that allow the use of any current input through the same terminals to reduce the spares and simplify wiring.
Q5. In my installation, several digital inputs become active when I energize the transformer. How can I reduce sensitivity?
A5. By selecting debounce time and/or voltage threshold, the relay may adapt its sensitivity to different applications. Select
the maximum voltage threshold and debounce time (recommended 15 ms) to minimize AC coupling effects.

7.3 CONTROL & HMI CHAPTER 7: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
7.3 Control & HMI

Q1. What is the difference between Get/Send info from/to relay and Upload/Download info files to/from relay?
A1. Get/Send are used for settings and configuration storage that although both are in a unique file, are sent separately in two
times. Upload/Download are used for project or PLC files group storage. These files are the setting_configuration file
source. To operate, the C650 does not need the source files; the Upload/Download tool is destined to serve as historic file.
Q2. Can I program interlocks?

A2. Yes, via ENERVISTA 650 Setup interlocks may be programmed from very simple to advanced schemes.
Q3. Can we rotate the display 90 degrees to show feeders vertically?

A3. No. The product has been designed to view it in horizontal mode (landscape) due to the following reasons:
It is easier to read the LCD display because it has been designed for horizontal positions.
Compatibility between text display (4x20 characters) and LCD display (16x40 characters or 128x240 pixels).
Refresh speed is better in horizontal than vertical format.
Q4. Do I need a laptop or handheld to program the unit?

A4. No, all main operations can easily be performed with just the incorporated HMI. Handheld or laptops may be required to
download large quantities of information (such as oscillograms, etc.) but they are not mandatory for a conventional user
that just needs to change settings, view measurements, states, etc.
Q5. Is there password security for protection and control?

A5. Yes, there are two passwords. An independent password for protection changes and control operations is available since
version 1.44
Q6. Is it possible to have a remote HMI installed in the front of the panel with the rest of the relay in the rear side?
A6. Not in the present version.
Q7. Is it possible to program a default screen for the HMI?

A7. In graphic display versions the user may program a custom screen with the single-line diagram, measurements, etc. In
text display models, there is a choice of logo, measurements, or scrolling both screens.
Q8. May I force inputs and outputs to ease commissioning and testing?
A8. Yes.
Q9. How can I disable the rotary knob buzzer?

A9. Press ESC key more than 3 seconds and then press the knob during a short pulse.

CHAPTER 7: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 7.3 CONTROL & HMI
Q10. How can I disable/enable beep sound HMI keypad in models with Enhanced HMI?
A10. To disable: Press ESC push-button more than 3 seconds and then press ENTER push-button while keeping ESC push button
pressed.
To enable: Press ESC push-button more than 3 seconds. After this time, press the ENTER push-button and then Up/down
key while keeping ESC push-button pressed.
Q11. Why do appear strange texts on the display when switching on the relay?
A11. You have pressed any button and the HMI has entered test mode.
The display messages are updated after a few minutes, once the relay has completed the starting sequence.

7.4 RELAY CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 7: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
7.4 Relay configuration

Q1. Does the "Service" contact on the Power Supply board cover all possible failures or do I have to create an output on
the I/O board that includes all the internal errors I can access in the logic?
A1. The power supply ready contact only monitor hardware failures in the power supply, to monitor the internal error of the
unit it is necessary to configure a virtual output to and the assign it to the device desired (contact output, LED, etc.).
Q2. I set an output contact as "Latched". If I do not set a "reset" condition, will it reset from the "ESC" key?
A2. No, you have to configure the contact output reset signal (in Setpoint > Relay Configuration > Outputs).
The ESC key only reset the LED indicators.

Appendix B: Redundancy protocol
REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL
B.1 PRP and HSR Ethernet protocols
Industrial real-time Ethernets typically demand much higher availability and uninterrupted operation than office Ethernet
solutions can provide. Even a short loss of connectivity can result in loss of functionality, as for example in some
automation, vehicular, power generation, and power distribution systems.
To recover from a network failure, different standard redundancy schemes are applied such as Parallel Redundancy
Protocol (PRP), High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and others.
The basic concept of both protocols, PRP and HSR, is to send practically identical frames over different paths and discard
one of the copies in reception, at best. If an error occurs or one of the paths is down, the frame travelling through that path
does not reach the destination, but its copy does.
If the node to be attached to a redundant network has not the capability to do it (e.g. has only one p ort), it can be
connected through a Redundancy Box (RedBox). This type of node allows single attached nodes connect transparently to
a redundant network. An example can be seen in Figures 1.
PRP operates on two independent networks. Each frame is replicated on the sending node and transmitted over both
networks. The receiving node processes the frame arriving first and discards the subsequent copy. The PRP layer is
responsible for this replicate/discard function and hides the two networks from the upper layers. This scheme works
without explicit reconfiguration and switchover and therefore does not show a period of unavailability.

B.1 PRP AND HSR ETHERNET PROTOCOLS APPENDIX B: REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL
Figure B-1: Example of PRP with two LANs (LAN A and LAN B)
The two LANs, named LAN_A and LAN_B, are identical in protocol at the MAC level, but they can differ in performance and
topology. Transmission delays can also be different. The LANs have no direct connection among them and they are
assumed to be fail independent.
In some applications, only availability-critical nodes need a double attachment, while others do not. In order to meet the
specific requirements, PRP defines different kinds of end nodes.
• The Dual Attached Node (DAN) is connected to both LANs.
• Uncritical nodes can be attached to only one LAN and are therefore called Single Attached Nodes (SAN). SANs that
need to communicate with each other are on the same LAN.
• The Redundancy Box (RedBox) is used when a single interface node has to be attached to both networks. Such a node
can communicate with all other nodes. Since a node behind a RedBox appears for other nodes like a DAN, it is called
Virtual DANs (VDAN). The RedBox itself is a DAN and acts as a proxy on behalf of its VDANs. The RedBox has its own IP
address for management purposes
Similarly to PRP, HSR is based in the duplication of every frame sent, but in a ring topology. Each copy of the frame is
injected in a different direction of the ring. If any of the links between nodes is down, all nodes are still reachable. This
topology forces every node in the net to be HSR aware because they have to forward every message until it reaches its
destination. With that purpose, the redundancy information is located at the beginning of the frame allowing a faster
forwarding, see next figure.

Definitions:
• PRP – Parallel Redundancy Protocol - redundancy protocol for high availability in substation automation networks
based on IEC 62439-3 Clause 4 and applicable to networks based on Ethernet technology (ISO/IEC 8802-3).
• OSI - Open Systems Interconnection - model defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for
standardizing the functions of a communication system in terms of abstraction layers. Similar communication
functions are grouped into logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. There
are 7 layers: physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, application.
• DANP – Doubly Attached Node running PRP – a node that has two ports which operate in parallel and are attached to
the upper layers of the OSI communications stack through a Link Redundancy Entity module.
• DANH – Doubly Attached Node with HSR protocol.
• LRE - Link Redundancy Entity – module operating at the link layer of the OSI stack and responsible for handling
duplicates and managing redundancy.
• SAN – Singly Attached Node – regular nodes with non-redundant network adapters
• RedBox – device attaching singly attached nodes (SANs) to a redundant network.
• RCT – Redundancy Check Trailer – PRP trailer added to frames and consisting of the following fields:
~16-bit sequence number (SeqNr);
~4-bit LAN identifier (LanId);
~12 bit frame size (LSDUsize)
~16-bit suffix (PRPsuffix).

B.1 PRP AND HSR ETHERNET PROTOCOLS APPENDIX B: REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL
B.1.1 PRP
PRP defines a redundancy protocol for high availability in substation automation networks. It is applicable to networks
based on Ethernet technology (ISO/IEC 8802-3).
PRP is designed to provide seamless recovery in case of a single failure in the network, by using a combination of LAN
duplication and frame duplication technique. Identical frames are sent on two completely independent networks that
connect source and destination, see next figure.
Figure 0–1: EXAMPLE OF PRP REDUNDANT NETWORK
Under normal circumstances both frames reach their destination and one of them is sent up the OSI stack to the
destination application, while the second one is discarded. If an error occurs in one of the networks and traffic is prevented
from flowing on that path, connectivity is still be provided through the other network to ensure continuous
communication. However, care must be taken when designing the two LANs, so that no single point of failure (such as a
common power supply) is encountered, as such scenarios can bring down both LANs simultaneously.
PRP uses specialized nodes called doubly attached nodes (DANPs) for handling the duplicated frames. DANPs devices have
an additional module at the link layer level, called the Link Redundancy Entity (LRE). LRE is responsible for duplicating
frames and adding the specific PRP trailer when sending the frames out on the LAN, as well as making decisions on
received frames as to which one is sent up the OSI stack to the application layer and which one is discarded. In essence
LRE is responsible for making PRP transparent to the higher layers of the stack. There is a second type of specialized device
used in PRP networks, called RedBox, with the role of connecting Single Attached Nodes (SANs) to a redundant network.
C650 relays implement only the DANP functionality. The RedBox functionality is not implemented.
The original standard IEC 62439-3 (2010) was amended to align PRP with the High availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR)
protocol. To achieve this, the original PRP was modified at the cost of losing compatibility with the PRP 2010 version. The
revised standard IEC 62439-3 (2012) is commonly referred to as PRP-1, while the original standard is PRP-0. The C650
relays support only PRP-1.

APPENDIX B: REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL B.1 PRP AND HSR ETHERNET PROTOCOLS
PRP can be enabled in configuration through a setting available on the network configuration menu (Product Setup?
Communication Settings? Network (Ethernet), REDUNDANCY, which already has the capability of enabling Failover
redundancy. When REDUNDANCY is set to PRP, the ports dedicated for PRP operate in redundant mode.
The rights associated with configuring PRP follow the security requirements for network configuration.
PRP management through SNMP MIB is not supported, as C650 doesn’t currently support SNMP for configuration. Settings
and actual values are only available through the front panel and through EnerVista.
The PRP solution to implement must ensure that performance requirements stated in IEC 61850-5 Clause 13 are still met. It
is specified under Clause 13 (Message performance requirements) that messages of type 1A must meet the performance
class P2/3, which is 3ms (See 3.7.1.1).
B.1.2 HSR
HSR defines a redundancy protocol for high availability in substation automation networks, based on PRP principles,
provides the property of zero recovery time, typically used in ring topology but applicable to any topology.
In the C650 relay, HSR is implemented in devices with communication option number K (for Fiber; 100 Base Fx) and M (for
cooper; Base 100 Tx). A frame is sent over both ports. A destination should receive, in the fault-free state, two identical
frames within a certain time skew, forward the first frame to the application and discard the second frame when (and if) it
comes. A sequence number is used to recognize such duplicates.
In contrast to PRP (IEC 62439-3- Clause 4), with which it shares the operating principle, HSR nodes are arranged into a ring,
which allows the network to operate without dedicated switches, since every node is able to forward frames from port to
port. HSR originally meant "High-availability Seamless Ring", but HSR is not limited to a simple ring topology.
Redundant connections to other HSR rings and to PRP networks are possible.

B.2 RSTP (IEEE 802.1D-2004) AND DAISY CHAIN APPENDIX B: REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL
B.2 RSTP (IEEE 802.1D-2004) and daisy chain

B.2.1 RSTP description
The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RTSP), like STP, was designed to avoid loops in an Ethernet network. Rapid Spanning
Tree Protocol (RSTP) (IEEE 802.1w) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (802.1d standard) and provides for
faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
B.2.2 RSTP concepts

The IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was developed to allow the construction of robust networks that incorporate
redundancy while pruning the active topology of the network to prevent loops. While STP is effective, it requires that frame
transfer must halt after a link outage until all bridges in the network are sure to be aware of the new topology.
Using STP (IEEE 802.1d) recommended values, this period lasts 30 seconds. The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1w)
is a further evolution of the 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol. It replaces the settling period with an active handshake
between switches (bridges) that guarantees topology information to be rapidly propagated through the network. RSTP
converges in less than one second. RSTP also offers a number of other significant innovations. These include:
• Topology changes in STP must be passed to the root bridge before they can be propagated to the network. Topology
changes in RSTP can be originated from and acted upon by any designated switch (bridge), leading to more rapid
propagation of address information
• STP recognizes one state - blocking for ports that should not forward any data or information. RSTP explicitly
recognizes two states or blocking roles - alternate and backup port including them in computations of when to learn
and forward and when to block
• STP relays configuration messages received on the root port going out of its designated ports. If an STP switch (bridge)
fails to receive a message from its neighbor it cannot be sure where along the path to the root a failure occurred. RSTP
switches (bridges) generate their own configuration messages, even if they fail to receive one from the root bridge.
This leads to quicker failure detection
• RSTP offers edge port recognition, allowing ports at the edge of the network to forward frames immediately after
activation while at the same time protecting them against loops
• An improvement in RSTP allows configuration messages to age more quickly preventing them from “going around in
circles” in the event of a loop RSTP has three states. They are discarding, learning and forwarding.
The discarding state is entered when the port is first taken into service. The port does not learn addresses in this state and
does not participate in frame transfer. The port looks for STP traffic in order to determine its role in the network. When it is
determined that the port plays an active part in the network, the state changes to learning. The learning state is entered
when the port is preparing to play an active member of the network. The port learns addresses in this state but does not
participate in frame transfer. In a network of RSTP switches (bridges) the time spent in this state is usually quite short. RSTP
switches (bridges) operating in STP compatibility mode spend between 6 to 40 seconds in this state. After 'learning' the
bridge places the port in the forwarding state. While in this state the port both learn addresses and participates in frame
transfer while in this state. The result of these enhanced states is that the IEEE 802.1d version of spanning tree (STP) can
take a fairly long time to resolve all the possible paths and to select the most efficient path through the network. The IEEE
802.1w Rapid reconfiguration of Spanning Tree significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to establish the network
path. The result is reduced network downtime and improved network robustness. In addition to faster network
reconfiguration, RSTP also implements greater ranges for port path costs to accommodate the higher connection speeds
that are being implemented.
Proper implementations of RSTP (by switch vendors) is designed to be compatible with IEEE 802.1d STP. GE recommends
that you employ RSTP or STP in your network.

APPENDIX B: REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL B.2 RSTP (IEEE 802.1D-2004) AND DAISY CHAIN
B.2.3 Use in meshed networks

One great strength of RSTP is its support for all kinds of meshed topologies. The resulting flexibility regarding the
installation is a clear advantage over the stringent restrictions that are imposed by ring protocols such as MRP and ring
installations. However, this flexibility harbors one great disadvantage, namely the reconfiguration time, which for an
interconnected network depends – among other things – on the complexity of the network topology and the location in
the network at which the failure occurred. Since RSTP is a decentralized protocol, it may also provoke highly unpredictable
race conditions in the establishment of new communications paths, particularly when choosing a new root bridge. This
gives rise to network reconfiguration times that can be estimated only very roughly, and this does restrict the use of RSTP,
particularly in meshed networks. In the case of meshed networks with very little complexity (such as ring networks with
two or three additional loops or subrings), a detailed analysis can make it possible to determine upper limits, but these
always need to be worked out individually. Unlike with the protocols MRP, HSR and PRP, it is not possible to make a general
statement.
B.2.4 Daisy chain

A daisy chain is an interconnection of devices where each device is connected in series to the next.
With an Ethernet daisy-chain redundancy selected, the C650 has two Ethernet ports and it is working as an Ethernet
unmanaged switch. The two Ethernet ports are used for connecting each device to the ports of its two neighboring
devices.
Each device in the daisy chain forwards the message until it reaches the destination.
Ports A and B use the same MAC (physical device) address and operate by chaining one device with the next one.
Note that it is important not to create a loop in this topology. Both ends of the chain can be connected to different
networks. The device operates only with one IP address through these 2 ports.

B.3 LINK LOSS ALERT (LLA) APPENDIX B: REDUNDANCY PROTOCOL
B.3 Link loss alert (LLA)

B.3.1 LLA
(Link Loss Alert) operation: The operation of ports A and B are as follows:
Ports A and B use port A’s MAC and IP address settings while port B is in standby mode in that it does not actively
communicate on the Ethernet network but monitors its link.
B.3.2 LLA priority

If this setting is set to enabled, the port A has the priority. If PORTA’s LLA detects a problem with the link, communications is
switched to Port B. Port B is, in effect, acting as a redundant or backup link to the network for port A.
B.3.3 LLA timeout

This setting is active only when the LLA PRIORITY is set to ENABLED. When the link on primary port is detected again after it
fails, there is LLA TIMEOUT (ms) monitoring time for the health of the network. During this time, the secondary port remains
active. If primary network is healthy for more than LLA TOIMEOUT value, the switch over to primary port is automatic.
If the setting LLA PRIORITY is enabled:

• The primary port is port A while secondary (redundant) port is port B.
• The primary port is always used if available.
• If the link on primary port is lost switch over to secondary port occurs immediately.
• When the link on primary port is detected again, there is a monitoring timeout (LLA TIMEOUT) for the health of the
network. After that period the communication switch over to primary port automatically.
If the setting LLA PRIORITY is disabled:

• There is no priority, therefore there is no primary port. The communication switch over from one Port to the other
occurs when the link fails.
• In this case the LLA TIMEOUT setting does not act.
