BACKGROUND The N60 may be used on systems with breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations. In these applications, each of the two three-phase sets of individual phase currents (one associated with each breaker) can be used as an input to a breaker fail- ure element.

When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond- ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the N60, the remote password must be used. If the connection is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.

Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The N60 applies a cut- off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents.
Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic™ operands. Assigning user-program- mable pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the N60 responds to rising edges of the configured FlexLogic™ operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
0 ms The N60 is equipped with up to three independent serial communication ports. The faceplate RS232 port is intended for local use and is fixed at 19200 baud and no parity. The rear COM1 port type is selected when ordering: either an Ethernet or RS485 port.

TIMEOUT: 120 s The N60 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The N60 can be used as a DNP slave device con- nected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the N60 maintains two sets of DNP data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the N60 at one time.
Page 137
DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000 V on the N60 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within cer- tain ranges in DNP masters.

The N60 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over ethernet and TP4/CLNP (OSI) over ethernet. The N60 operates as an IEC 61850 server. The Remote inputs and outputs section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.

The N60 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station components.

The N60 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over both TCP/IP and TP4/CLNP (OSI) communication protocol stacks. The TP4/CLNP profile requires the N60 to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) to establish a communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the N60 to have an IP address to establish communications. These addresses are located in the ...
C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES The GGIO1 logical node is available in the N60 to provide access to as many 128 digital status points and associated time- stamps and quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO1 provides digital status points for access by clients.
A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes. Each MMXU logical node provides data from a N60 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each con- figurable source (programmed in the ...
Page 482
The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags. For example, the start flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the N60 protection elements, these flags take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic™ operands for the corresponding element.
C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the N60. This name is composed of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of the two character strings programmed in the settings.
A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the N60 to detect ‘dead’ connections. If there is no data traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the N60. This frees up the con- nection to be used by other clients.
MAC address for GSSE messages. If GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the N60 will use the source Ether- net MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.
Page 486
The N60 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station components.
REMOTE IN 1 ITEM item to remote input 1. Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic™ equations or other settings. The N60 must be rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect. The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value in the sending device.
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses. By default, the N60 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the N60 destination MAC address setting is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destina- tion MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set.
An ICD file is generated for the N60 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED. The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other ven- dors) for system configuration.
Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the N60 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system con- figurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Com- munications >...

Furthermore, it defines the capabilities of an IED in terms of communication services offered and, together with its LNType, instantiated data (DO) and its default or configuration values. There should be only one IED section in an ICD since it only describes one IED. C-14 N60 Network Stability and Synchrophasor Measurement System GE Multilin...

The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click OK to generate the file. The time to create an ICD file from the offline N60 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from the relay.

The software will open the SCD file and then prompt the user to save a UR-series settings file. Select a location and name for the URS (UR-series relay settings) file. If there is more than one GE Multilin IED defined in the SCD file, the software prompt the user to save a UR-series set- tings file for each IED.
