6. Control
  e relay o ers status and control of one circuit 
breaker with dedicated push-buttons on the front 
panel local human machine interface (LHMI) for 
opening and closing of that breaker. Flexible remote 
breaker control of select-before-trip (SBO) or direct 
trip is also available with each of the supported 
DNP3.0 Level 2+, Modbus and IEC 61850 
communication protocols. Interlocking schemes 
required by the application are con gured with the 
signal matrix tool in PCM600 by the application are 
con gured with the Signal Matrix Tool (SMT) of the 
REM615 user tool PCM600.
7. Measurements
  e relay continuously measures the phase currents, 
the sequence components of the currents and the 
residual current. If the relay includes the ground 
ct option, it also measures the ground current, IG. 
In addition, the relay calculates the demand phase 
currents over a user-selectable pre-set time frame, the 
thermal overload of the protected object, and the 
phase unbalance value as a ratio between the negative 
sequence and positive sequence currents. With the 
VT option, phase, ground and sequence voltage 
measurements plus power, energy and power factor 
measurements are included.
  e values measured can be accessed locally via the 
user interface on the relay front panel or remotely via 
the communication interface of the relay.  e values 
can also be accessed locally or remotely using the web-
browser based user interface.
8.  Digital fault recorder
  e relay is provided with a digital fault recorder 
(DFR) featuring up to four analog and 64 binary 
signal channels.   e analog channels record either the 
waveform or the trend of the currents measured.
  e analog channels can be set to trigger the recording 
function when the measured value falls below or 
exceeds the set values.   e binary signal channels can 
be set to start a recording on the rising or the falling 
edge of the binary signal or both.
By default, the binary channels are set to record 
external or internal relay signals, e.g. the pickup or 
trip signals of the relay stages, or external blocking or 
control signals. Binary relay signals such as a protection 
pickup or trip signal, or an external relay control signal 
over a binary input can be set to trigger the recording. 
With the VT option, phase and ground voltage 
waveforms would be available for inclusion in each 
digital recording.
9. Events recorder
  e IED includes a sequence of events recorder (SER) 
that logs important event activity. To collect sequence-
of-events (SER) information, the relay incorporates 
a memory with a capacity of storing 100 event codes 
with associated time stamps with associated date and 
time stamps..   e event log facilitates detailed pre- and 
post-fault analyses of feeder faults and disturbances.
  e SER information can be accessed locally via the 
user interface on the relay front panel or remotely 
via the communication interface of the relay.  e 
information can further be accessed, either locally or 
remotely, using the web-browser based user interface.
10. Fault recorder
  e relay has the capacity to store the records of 100 
fault events.   e records enable the user to analyze 
the four most recent power system events. Each 
record includes the current values, the Pickup times 
of the protection blocks, time stamp, etc.  e fault 
recording can be triggered by the pickup signal or 
the trip signal of a protection block, or by both.  e 
available measurement modes include DFT, RMS 
and peak-to-peak. In addition, the maximum demand 
phase currents with date and time stamp are separately 
stored as recorded data. All 100 records are remotely 
retrievable via DNP3.0 Level 2+ and Modbus 
protocols and the four most recent fault records are 
retrievable and viewable using the front panel HMI, 
WMHI and PCM600 interfaces using the front panel 
HMI, web-based WHMI and PCM600 interfaces.
