87L User-Programmable Bits Over Ethernet
SELOGIC control equations, 87T0nnE per Table 3.19 (where n enumerates the
transmitted bit, nn = 01–32), drive the transmitted user-programmable 87L
communications bits. An associated Relay Word bit, per Table 3.20, signals
assertion of the transmitted 87L communications bit. Each peer relay working
over Ethernet receives all the transmitted bits, so the configuration mechanism
for the transmitted bits does not specify the destination. Therefore, all
transmitted bits are available in all relays for user applications.
In a manner similar to that in serial communication, received user-
programmable 87L communications bits map to Relay Word bits, 87R0nPp,
per Table 3.19 (where p stands for the remote peer relay; p = 1 for the remote
relay identified by the receiving relay using the 87LMAC1 MAC address
setting, similarly for p = 2 and p = 3).
Each received bit has debounce timers with independent pickup
(87R1pPU–87R9pPU, 87R10pP–87R32pP) and dropout
(87R1pDO–87R9pDO, 87R10pD–87R32pD) settings per Table 3.19. You can
use the pickup timer to enhance security (see Security of 87L User-
Programmable Communications Bits). You can use the dropout timer to
ensure dependable recognition of the bit, given the expected assertion period
at the sending relay and details of the application logic at the receiving relay.
Security of 87L User-Programmable Communications Bits
The logical condition driving a specified 87L user-programmable bit should
have adequate security, given its intended application at the remote relay. You
can achieve this in the sending relay through a combination of logic, element
settings, and timers as necessary.
In addition, you should provide the proper level of security against data
corruption when the bit travels over the lengthy communications channel
between sending and receiving relays.
