SEL-311C Relay Instruction Manual Date Code 20060320
SEL Synchrophasors
Protocol Operation
In the SEL Fast Message format, the synchrophasor processor must request a
particular data message period, which is embedded in the enable message. If
the requested message period can be supported, the SEL-311C will
acknowledge the request (if an acknowledge was requested) and begin
transmitting synchrophasors. If the requested message period is not permitted,
the SEL-311C will respond with a bad data message (if an acknowledge was
requested), and will not transmit any synchrophasor data. Table G.4 lists the
permissible data message periods that can be requested by the enable
message. Note that each Fast Message is transmitted at a fixed time after the
beginning of each minute.
The SEL-311C will only transmit synchrophasor messages over serial ports
that have setting PROTO = SEL. The connected device will typically be a
synchrophasor processor or a communications processor, such as the SEL-
2032. The connected device controls the PMCU functions of the SEL-311C
with SEL Fast Message commands, including commands to start and stop
synchrophasor data transmission.
