[DIFL-ARCBlk]. If the user wishes to not to operate the ARC function on the DIFL operation, 
set Block for the scheme switch [DIFL-ARCBlk] so that signal “DIFL-ARC-BLOCK” is injected 
not to operate the autoreclose function (ARC). The ARC function is discussed separately. (See 
Chapter 
Relay application: Autoreclose function
) 
(vii)  Blocking trip issuing by communication failure supervision 
The  trip  signals  are  blocked  when  communication  failure  is  detected†.  Communication 
application  function  (DIF_COMM)  can  monitor  data  error,  sampling  synchronism  and 
reception from the remote terminal. 
 
Communication failure is monitored for each channel and is combined with the results of 
such as self-supervision, sampling synchronism and CRC. It is assigned to each signal (RELAY 
BLOCK  #1  and  #2,  which  are  used  to  block  the  output  of  DIFL#1  and  #2  elements 
instantaneously to avoid unwanted tripping while the communication failure is detected.

(viii)  Blocking trip issuing by by PLC connection 
When the user  wishes  the  DIFL function  not  to  issue a trip  signal,  the user can  use  PLC 
connection point “DIFL_BLOCK” so that the DIFL function cannot issue a trip signal, as seen 
in Figure 2.2-3. The PLC connection point is useful when the user wishes to program no to 
operate the DIFL function externally.
