SEL Synchrophasors
Protocol Operation
Protocol Operation
SEL Fast Message Unsolicited Write (synchrophasor) messages are general
Fast Messages (A546h) that transport measured synchrophasor information.
Transmit Mode
Control
The SEL-351A begins transmitting synchrophasors when an enable message
is received from the connected device. The relay stops synchrophasor
transmission on a particular serial port when the disable command is received
from the connected device, or when the relay settings are changed. The
SEL-351A responds to configuration block request messages regardless of the
present transmit status, waiting only as long as it takes for any partially sent
messages to be completely transmitted.
Table L.1–Table L.3 list the Synchrophasor Fast Message protocol formats,
including the specific construction of the enable and disable messages. SEL
Application Guide AG2002-08 provides additional information on the SEL
Fast Message Synchrophasor protocol and example applications. This
application guide refers to the SEL-421 Relay and differs slightly from the
SEL-351A implementation.
