Description of Commands
COPY
The COPY command copies the settings from one class instance to another
instance in the same class. For example, you can copy Group settings from
one group to another. You cannot copy Group settings to Port settings.
This command is limited to the same access level as the SET command for the
class of settings you are copying. Use the command order specified in
Tab le 9.35.
The parameters m and n must be valid and distinct (not the same) instance
numbers. The class parameter is the class that you can choose from group (S),
port (P), and protection SEL
OGIC control equations (L). The COPY command
is not available within the Automation class and is not available for the
Breaker Monitor settings.
In addition, port settings instances must be compatible; you cannot copy from/
to Port 5 and the other communications ports settings. You cannot copy to a
port that is presently in transparent communication. If you attempt such a
copy, the relay responds,
Cannot copy to a port involved in
transparent communication
. In addition, you cannot copy to the present port
(the port you are using to communicate with the relay). If you attempt such a
copy, the relay responds,
Cannot copy port settings to present port.
When you enter the COPY command with valid parameters, the relay
responds,
Are you sure (Y/N)? Answer Y <Enter> (for yes) to complete
copying.
If the destination instance is the active group, the relay changes to the new
settings and pulses the SALARM Relay Word bit.
CSER
The CSER command is the SER command for the Compressed ASCII
command set. See SEL Compressed ASCII Commands on page R.5.4 for
information on the Compressed ASCII command set. The default order of the
CSER command (chronologically newest to oldest from list top to list
bottom) is the reverse of the SER command (oldest to newest from list top to
list bottom). For a detailed example of the items in the Compressed ASCII
SER report, see Figure 3.19 on page A.3.36.
CSE
Use the CSE command to gather Sequential Events Recorder records. You can
sort these records in numerical or date order.
