Analyzing Events
Event Reporting
The SEL-787 provides Compressed ASCII event reports to facilitate event
report storage and display. SEL communications processors and the SEL-5601
Analytic Assistant software take advantage of the Compressed ASCII format.
Use the CHIS command to display Compressed ASCII event history
information. Use the CSUM command to display Compressed ASCII event
summary information. Use the CEVENT command to display Compressed
ASCII event reports. See Table C.2 for further information.
Compressed ASCII Event Reports contain all of the Relay Word bits.
Sequential Events
Recorder (SER)
The SER report captures digital element state changes over time. Settings
allow as many as 96 Relay Word bits to be monitored, in addition to the
automatically generated triggers for relay power up, settings changes, and
active setting group changes. State changes are time-tagged to the nearest
millisecond. SER information is stored when state changes occur.
SER report data are useful in commissioning tests and during operation for
system monitoring and control.
Event Reporting
Length
The SEL-787 provides selectable event report length (LER) and prefault
length (PRE). Event report length is either 15 or 64 cycles. Prefault length is
1–10 cycles for LER = 15 and 1–59 cycles for LER = 64. Prefault length is the
first part of the total event report length and precedes the event report
triggering point. Changing the PRE setting has no effect on the stored reports.
The relay stores as many as 19 of the most recent 64-cycle or as many as 77 of
the most recent 15-cycle event reports in nonvolatile memory. Refer to the
SET R command in SET Command (Change Settings) on page 7.36 and
Report Settings (SET R Command) on page SET.52.
Triggering
The SEL-787 triggers (generates) an event report when any of the following
occur:
➤ Relay Word bit TRIP asserts
➤ Programmable SELOGIC
®
control equation setting ER asserts (in
Report settings)
➤ TRI (Trigger Event Reports) serial port command executes
Relay Word Bit TRIP
Refer to Figure 4.50. If Relay Word bit TR asserts to logical 1, an event report
is automatically generated. Thus, any Relay Word bit that causes a trip does
not have to be entered in SEL
OGIC control equation setting ER.
Programmable SELOGIC Control Equation Setting ER
The programmable SELOGIC control equation event report trigger setting ER
is set to trigger event reports for conditions other than trip conditions (see
SET R in SET Command (Change Settings) on page 7.36). When setting ER
detects a logical 0 to logical 1 transition, it generates an event report (if the
SEL-787 is not already generating a report that encompasses the new
transition). The factory setting is shown in Event Report Settings on
page 4.110.
IMPORTANT: Changing the LER
setting will clear all events in
memory. Be sure to save critical
event data prior to changing the LER
setting.
