SEL-387E Instruction Manual
As of this writing,
AC
SE
LERATOR
Architect comes with three versions of the
SEL-387E ICD file. These versions are:
• 001: Original ICD file supplied with the first
AC
SE
LERATOR
Architect release. This
version provides backwards compatibility for relays with Ethernet port firmware R102
or lower. An SEL-387E Ethernet port with firmware R104 or higher will not be able to
process this file. Only select this file for your project if you will download it to an
SEL-387E with appropriate Ethernet port firmware or intend to convert it later. See
CID
File Conversion for the process of converting existing version 001 files for use on relays
with R104 or higher Ethernet port firmware.
• 002L (Original Prefixes): This file is recommended for use in maintaining version 001
Logical Node names in an SEL-387E with Ethernet port firmware R104 or higher. You
may want to select this file so you can continue using the original Logical Node names
in a project compatible with newer-firmware SEL Ethernet ports.
• 002 Short LN Prefixes (Default): This file is similar to version 002L, but has Logical
Node prefixes and instances constrained to 7 characters or less. This file is recommended
for most applications, especially in IEC 61850 installations where Logical Node names
must meet this criterion.
CID File Conversion
If you attempt to download a version 001 CID file to a relay with Ethernet port firmware R104 or
higher,
AC
SE
LERATOR
Architect will detect the incompatibility and offer to convert the existing
file. If you agree,
AC
SE
LERATOR
Architect will modify the existing CID file so that the relay can
successfully process it. Note that
AC
SE
LERATOR
Architect will only prompt you to perform this
conversion when it recognizes that the CID file it is trying to download is unsupported. This is
done on a per-file basis. That is, there is no option to do a batch conversion of all CID files in a
project. Also, if you want to preserve any CID file modifications, ensure that you save the
project before exiting
AC
SE
LERATOR
Architect.
See Table H.7 for a summary of the Logical Nodes provided with each ICD file version.
