Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Upgrade Procedure
removed. If you transfer an invalid CID file, the relay will disable the IEC 61850
protocol because it no longer has a valid configuration. To restart IEC 61850 pro-
tocol operation, you must transfer a valid CID file to the relay.
Perform the following steps to verify that the IEC 61850 protocol is still opera-
tional and if not, re-enable it. This procedure assumes that IEC 61850 was opera-
tional with a valid CID file immediately before initiating the firmware upgrade. If
the IEC 61850 protocol was not configured prior to the upgrade, skip to J Return
Relay to Service on page B.8. Refer to the Section 17: IEC 61850 Communica-
tion for help with IEC 61850 configuration.
Step 1. Issue the STA, ID, and GOO commands.
Step 2. Verify that there are no error messages regarding IEC 61850 or CID
file parsing.
If the responses to the STA, ID, or GOO commands contain
IEC 61850 or CID error messages, continue with the following steps
to re-enable the IEC 61850 protocol. Otherwise, skip to J Return
Relay to Service on page B.8.
If the IEC 61850 protocol has been disabled because of an upgrade-
induced CID file incompatibility, you can use Architect to convert
the existing CID file and make it compatible again.
a. Install the Architect upgrade that supports your required CID file
version.
b. Run Architect, and open the project that contains the existing
CID file for the relay. Use Architect to download the CID from
the relay, and select File > Download CID in the menu bar to
save the CID file.
c. If using embedded settings, create an updated .rdb file with the
settings read in I Verify Relay Settings on page B.7. Update the
reference in the Settings Link tab and save the new CID file.
d. In the Project Editor in Architect, select and right-click the CID
file. Click Send CID to download the CID file to the relay.
Download the CID file to the relay.
Upon connecting to the relay, Architect will detect the upgraded
Ethernet port firmware and prompt you before converting the
existing CID file to a supported version. Once converted,
downloaded, and processed, the valid CID file allows the relay to
re-enable the IEC 61850 protocol.
Step 3. In the Telnet session, issue the STA, ID, and GOO commands.
Step 4. Verify that no IEC 61850 error messages are in the STA or ID com-
mand responses.
Step 5. Verify the GOOSE transmitted and received messages are as
expected.
Relays being upgraded from firmware that did not support a local-time UTC off-
set setting (UTCOFF) to firmware that does support the UTCOFF setting may
show incorrect time stamps in Demand Metering and Breaker Monitor report
data that was recorded by the relay prior to the firmware upgrade.
The time stamps shown for the Demand Metering and Breaker Monitor data
recorded prior to the firmware upgrade will show UTC time plus an eight-hour
local time offset, along with any applicable daylight-saving time adjustment.
