Functions and Function Codes
In the messages shown below, all numbers are in hexadecimal unless
otherwise noted.
01-Function Code:
Enable Unsolicited
Data Transfer, Sent
From Master to Relay
Upon power up, the SEL-311C disables it own unsolicited transmissions. This
function enables the SEL-311C to begin sending unsolicited data to the device
which sent the enable message, if the SEL-311C has such data to transfer. The
message format for function code 01 is shown in Table K.1.
The SEL-311C verifies the message by checking the header, length, function
code, and enabled function code against the expected values. It also checks the
entire message against the CRC-16 field. If any of the checks fail, except the
function code or the function to enable, the message is ignored.
If an acknowledge is requested as indicated by the least significant bit of the
status byte, the relay transmits an acknowledge message with the same
response number received in the enable message.
The “nn” field is used to set the maximum number of SER records per
message. The relay checks for SER records approximately every 500 ms. If
there are new records available, the relay immediately creates a new Fast SER
message and transmits it. If there are more than “nn” new records available, or
if the first and last record are separated by more than 16 seconds, the relay will
break the transmission into multiple messages so that no message contains
more than “nn” records, and the first and last record of each message are
separated by no more than 16 seconds.
If the function to enable is not 18 or the function code is not recognized, the
relay responds with an acknowledge message containing a response code 01
(function code unrecognized), and no functions are enabled. If the SER
triggers are disabled (SER1, SER2, and SER3 are all set to NA), the Fast SER
messages are still enabled, but the only SER records generated are due to
settings changes, and power being applied to the relay. If the SER1, SER2, or
SER3 settings are subsequently changed to any non-NA value and SER entries
are triggered, Fast SER messages will be generated with the new SER records.
