Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Upgrade Procedure
Perform the following steps to verify that the IEC 61850 protocol is still
operational and if not, re-enable it. This procedure assumes that IEC 61850
was operational 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 Step K on page P.B.14. Refer to the SEL-400 series relay
section IEC 61850 Communications for help with IEC 61850 configuration.
Step 1. Establish a Telnet connection to the Ethernet card.
a. From a command line prompt, type Telnet [IP address]
port (e.g., Telnet 192.168.0.213 1024).
b. Press <Enter> until you see the = prompt.
Step 2. Issue the STA, ID, and GOO commands.
Step 3. 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
Step K.
If the IEC 61850 protocol has been disabled because of an
upgrade-induced CID file incompatibility, you can use
ACSELERATOR Architect
®
SEL-5032 Software to convert the
existing CID file and make it compatible again.
a. Install the
ACSELERATOR Architect upgrade that
supports your required CID file version.
b. Run
ACSELERATOR Architect and open the project that
contains the existing CID file for the relay.
c. If using embedded settings, create an updated .rdb file
with the settings read in Step J above. Update the
reference in the Settings Link tab and save the new
CID file.
d. Download the CID file to the relay.
Upon connecting to the relay,
ACSELERATOR 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 4. In the Telnet session, issue the STA, ID, and GOO commands.
Step 5. Verify that no IEC 61850 error messages are in the STA or ID
command responses.
Step 6. Verify the GOOSE transmitted and received messages are as
expected.
Relays being upgraded from firmware that did not support a local-time UTC
offset 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.
