10.5.4 Communication failure (Com fail)
The transmission between two IEDs is also monitored. If the error is detected for ten seconds,
the communication failure is issued.
(i) Error level
Generally, the default error level is set at level 2 (Serious error (Comm)), but the user can
program the level using settings [CHK_CM_FAIL1:Lvl] and [CHK_CM_FAIL2:Lvl]; then, set On
for the setting [CHK_CM_FAIL1:Sw] and [CHK_CM_FAIL2:Sw]. The manufacture sets ten (10)
seconds to detect the failure; it is reset in 12 ssp (i.e., 12×48×Power_system_frequency (Hz))
when the failure is cleared.
(ii) Error message
When the function operates and detects error, an error message can be shown at the LED and
the LCD screen.
