Introduction
Applications
The SEL-2701 also provides FTP file access to event reports and other reports.
For example, you can point and click in an FTP application to collect event
reports in the standard SEL format or the IEEE binary COMTRADE
(Common Format for Transient Data Exchange) format.
Full UCA2 connectivity is available with the SEL-2701 installed directly in an
SEL-400 series relay. GOMSFE models are automatically populated with
measurements and other relay data. The SEL-2701 processes incoming
GOOSE messages and delivers data to the relay through a high-speed network
card interface. Within milliseconds of state changes in the relay, the SEL-2701
generates outgoing GOOSE messages.
Substations With Serial and Ethernet IEDs
In a new substation, you can combine the three applications above to provide a
substation Ethernet network for three types of IEDs:
➤ SEL relays with serial ports
➤ Non-SEL IEDs with serial ports
➤ SEL-400 series relays
You can choose protective relays, equipment monitors, and other substation
IEDs based on quality, reliability, and features rather than on the available
network interfaces. In retrofit and upgrade projects, you can add the SEL-2030
and SEL-2701 without disturbing existing protective relays and equipment
monitors. To add SEL-2701 Ethernet networking, data access, and control
features to your substation protection and control system, develop a network
similar to that shown in Figure 1.2 on page 1.5.
