SEL-421-1-R110-V0-Z003004-D20030918
➤ Added fast message protocol compatibility with the SEL-2600
RTD Module.
➤ Improved distance elements.
➤ Improved out-of-step logic.
➤ Increased free-form protection SELOGIC capacity from 100 lines
to 250 lines.
➤ Improved cross-country fault detection.
➤ Added high-speed distance elements to the Relay Word.
➤ Improved relay security features, including the addition of the
BADPASS Relay Word bit.
➤ Increased number of SELOGIC math variables displayed from 16
to all.
➤ Addressed condition in which if IRIG-B time source is used and
the date rolls over from December 31st to January 1st, the year
may not increment.
➤ Corrected file command error message.
➤ Fixed condition where the SEL-421 does not send the fast
message power-up bit in the status byte of the first message.
➤ Fixed condition in R109 where a file read of events or
compressed history using the no modem option may cause the
relay to become non-responsive.
➤ Fixed condition where significant communications traffic, i.e.,
M
IRRORED BITS at 38400 baud with an SEL-2701 Ethernet card
installed, may cause delays in servicing of low-priority
background tasks.
