Section 1: Introduction
The relay data communication facility is compatible with control and automation systems, PCs running
Reydisp software, can provide operational information, post-fault analysis, settings interrogation and
editing facilities. This section describes how to use the Communication Interface with a control system
or interrogating computer. Appropriate software within the control system or on the interrogating
computer (e.g. ReyDisp Evolution) is required to access the interface.
This section specifies connection details and lists the events, commands and measurands available.
For further information regarding the IEC60870-5-103 interface, reference should be made to the
separate Informative Communications Interface manual (reference 434/TM/5 available from
www.reyrolle-protection.com).
The Communications Interface for dialogue communications by the Protection Engineer is provided by
the ReyDisp Evolution software package, also available from the website, using the IEC60870-5-103
protocol.

1. Com2-USB: this port is used for IEC60870-5-103 (default setting) communication with the
Reydisp software. An ASCII protocol, the main use of which is to allow firmware to be updated
from the front connection, is also available through this port.
2. Com1-RS485: this port can be used for IEC60870-5-103, DNP-3 or MODBUS RTU
communications to a substation SCADA or integrated control system or engineer remote
access.
3. Com3/Com4: Optional RS232, dual fibre optic or additional RS485 ports located on the rear
of the relay can be used for IEC60870-5-103, DNP3 or MODBUS RTU communications to a
substation SCADA or integrated control system or engineer remote access.
Any or all ports can be mapped to the IEC60870-5-103, DNP3 or MODBUS RTU protocol at any one
time.
Siemens Protection Devices Limited can provide a range of interface devices, please refer to product
portfolio catalogue.
Full details of the interface devices can be found by referring to the website www.reyrolleprotection.com.

USB Interface
The USB communication port is connected using a standard USB cable with a type B connection to
the relay and type A to the PC.
The PC will require a suitable USB driver to be installed, this will be carried out automatically when the
Reydisp software is installed. When the Reydisp software is running with the USB cable connected to
a device an additional connection is shown. Connections to these devices are not shown when they
are not connected.
The USB communication interface on the relay is labelled Com 2 and its associated settings are
located in the Data communications menu. When connecting to Reydisp using this connection the
Page 6 of 56
default settings can be used without the need to first change any settings, otherwise the Com 2 port
must be set to IEC60870-5-103 (the relay address and baud rate do not need to be set).

2.1.3
RS485 Interface
An RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a
suitable RS485 120 ohm screened twisted pair cable.
The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485
master must support and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature. The last device in the connection
must be terminated correctly in accordance with the master device driving the connection. This can
be done via the internal 120 ohm terminating resistor, which can be connected between 14 (A) and 18
(B) by fitting an external wire loop between terminals 18 and 20 on the power supply module.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 64.
The RS485 data comms link will be broken for that particular relay element if it is withdrawn from the
case but the chain of communication to the other relays is maintained.
An additional RS485 port is available as an ordering option. This port is wired to a dedicated terminal
block at the relay rear.
The following settings must be configured via the relay fascia or Reydisp when using the RS485
interface. The shaded settings are only visible when DNP3.0 is selected.

When connecting via the optional fibre optic interface the selection of fibre-optic cable is important.
Fibres must be terminated with STTM (BFOC/2.5) connectors.
The recommended type is 62.5/125m glass fibre. Communication distances over 1 km are
achievable using this type of fibre.
A budget loss calculation should be made for all installations. The following table gives the Launch
power and receiver sensitivity of each of the fibre optic communication ports on the Argus M relay
when used with specific fibre optic types.

Fibre Type
The main factors limiting transmission distances with fibre-optics are: Transmitter launch power.
Attenuation, based on light frequency, fibre material and fibre diameter. (Consult fibre
manufacturers data for actual values of fibre attenuation).
Number of intermediate connectors and splices. Fibre cables are supplied on reels of finite
length which may necessitate additional jointing. Typical losses at connectors are 0.5-1.0dB
Page 8 of 56
each. This allows for normal age related deterioration. Typical losses at splices are <0.3dB.
(Consult fibre manufacturers data for actual values).
Receiver sensitivity. The light power at the receiver must be above the sensitivity of the
receiver in order that effective communication can occur.
A 3dB safety margin is usually allowed after the budget calculation is performed.
Following installation the actual losses should be measured for each fibre using a calibrated light
source and meter and the measured values compared to the calculated estimate before the relay is
applied.

There are two optional fibre optic ports, com3 and com4, and when fitted the associated settings are
available in the Data Communication menu. To allow communication using either or both of these
ports the relay settings must be changed, via the fascia, in accordance with the method of connection
and master device.

INTRODUCTION
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is
used for the communication with Reydisp software and can also be used for communication with a
suitable control system. The control system or local PC acts as the master in the system with the
relay operating as a slave responding to the masters commands. The implementation provides event
information, time synchronising, commands and measurands and also supports the transfer of
disturbance records.
This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic RS232
and RS485) and is the standard protocol used by the USB port. The relay can communicate
simultaneously on all ports regardless of protocol used.
Each relay must be given an address to enable communication and can be set by the Communication
Interface:Relay Address. A relay with the default address of 0 will not be able to communicate.
Cause of Transmission
The cause of transmission (COT) column of the Information Number and Function table lists possible
causes of transmission for these frames. The following abbreviations are used:

INTRODUCTION
This section describes the MODBUS-RTU protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used
for communication with a suitable control system.
This protocol can be set to use the Fibre Optic, RS232 and RS485 ports. The relay can communicate
simultaneously on all ports regardless of protocol used.
Each relay must be given an address to enable communication and can be set by the Communication
Interface:Relay Address. A relay with the default address of 0 will not be able to communicate.
Definitions with shaded area are not available on all relay models.

1) FP_32BITS_3DP: 2 registers - 32 bit fixed point, a 32 bit integer containing a value to 3 decimal places e.g. 50000 sent = 50.000
2) UINT16: 1 register - standard 16 bit unsigned integer
3) Sequence of 8 registers containing an event record. Read address 30002 for 8 registers (16 bytes), each read returns the earliest event record and
removes it from the internal store. Repeat this process for the number of events in the register 30001, or until no more events are returned. (the error
condition exception code 2)
EVENT FORMAT
The format of the event record is defined by the zero byte. It signifies the type of record which is used
to decode the event information. The zero byte can be one of the following.

DEVICE PROFILE
The following table provides a Device Profile Document in the standard format defined in the DNP
3.0 Subset Definitions Document. While it is referred to in the DNP 3.0 Subset Definitions as a
Document, it is in fact a table, and only a component of a total interoperability guide. The table, in
combination with the Implementation Table provided and the Point List Tables provided should provide
a complete configuration/interoperability guide for communicating with a device implementing the

IMPLEMENTATION TABLE
The following table identifies which object variations, function codes, and qualifiers the Triangle
MicroWorks, Inc. DNP 3.0 Slave Source Code Library supports in both request messages and in
response messages. For static (non-change-event) objects, requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06,
07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. Requests sent with qualifiers 17 or 28 will be
responded with qualifiers 17 or 28. For change-event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always
responded.
In the table below, text shaded as 00, 01 (start stop) indicates Subset Level 3 functionality (beyond Subset
Level 2).
In the table below, text shaded as 07, 08 (limited qty) indicates functionality beyond Subset Level 3.

Note 1: A Default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in
class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. Default variations are configurable; however, default settings for the
configuration parameters are indicated in the table above.
Note 2: For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request
is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00,
01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. (For change-event objects, qualifiers 17
or 28 are always responded.)
Note 3: Writes of Internal Indications are only supported for index 7 (Restart IIN1-7)

Analogue Inputs
The following table lists Analogue Inputs (Object 30). It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit
variations of Analogue Inputs, Analogue Output Control Blocks, and Analogue Output Statuses are
transmitted through DNP as signed numbers.
The Default Deadband, and the Default Change Event Assigned Class columns are used to
represent the absolute amount by which the point must change before an analogue change event will
be generated, and once generated in which class poll (1, 2, 3, or none) will the change event be
reported.
The default analogue input event buffer size is set 30.
Analog Inputs

Section 6: Modems
The communications interface has been designed to allow data transfer via modems. However, IEC
60870-5-103 defines the data transfer protocol as an 11 bit format of 1 start, 1 stop, 8 data and even
parity, which is a mode most commercial modems do not support. High performance modems will
support this mode, but are expensive. For this reason, a parity setting is provided to allow use of easily
available and relatively inexpensive commercial modems. This will result in a small reduction in data
security and the system will not be compatible with true IEC 60870-5-103 control systems.
6.1.1
RS232C defines devices as being either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) e.g. computers, or data
Communications Equipment (DCE), e.g. modems, where one is designed to be connected to the
other. In this case, two DCE devices (the modem and the fibre-optic converter) are being connected
together, so a null terminal connector is required, which switches various control lines. The fibre-optic
converter is then connected to the relay Network Tx to Relay Rx and Network Rx to Relay Tx.
6.1.2
The exact settings of the modem are dependent on the type of modem. Although most modems
support the basic Hayes AT command format, different manufacturers use different commands for
the same functions. In addition, some modems use DIP switches to set parameters, others are entirely
software configured.
Before applying settings, the modems factory default settings should be applied, to ensure it is in a
known state.
Several factors must be considered to allow remote dialling to the relays. The first is that the modem at
the remote end must be configured as auto answer. This will allow it to initiate communications with
the relays. Next, the user should set the data configuration at the local port, i.e. baud rate and parity,
so that communication will be at the same rate and format as that set on the relay and the error
correction is disabled.
Auto-answer usually requires two parameters to be set. The auto-answer setting should be switched
on and the number of rings after which it will answer. The Data Terminal Ready (DTR) settings should
be forced on. This tells the modem that the device connected to it is ready to receive data.
The parameters of the modems RS232C port are set to match those set on the relay, set baud rate
and parity to be the same as the settings on the relay and number of data bits to be 8 and stop bits 1.
Note, although the device may be able to communicate with the modem at say 19200 bps, the modem
may only be able to transmit over the telephone lines at 14400 bps. Therefore, a baud rate setting on
which the modem can transmit should be chosen. In this example, a baud rate of 9600 should be
chosen.
As the modems are required to be transparent, simply passing on the data sent from the controller to
the device and vice versa, error correction and buffering is turned off.
If possible, Data Carrier Detect (DCD) should be forced on, as this control line will be used by the
Fibre-optic converter.
Finally, these settings should be stored in the modems memory for power on defaults.
6.1.3
Once the remote modem has been configured correctly, it should be possible to dial up the modem
and make connection to the relay. As the settings on the remote modem are fixed the local modem
should negotiate with it on connection, choosing suitable matching settings. If it cannot do this, the
local modem should be set with settings equivalent to those of the remote modem as described
above.

Section 7: Configuration
The data points and control features which are possible within the relay is fixed and can be transmitted
over the communication channel(s) protocols in the default format described earlier in this section.
The default data transmitted is not always directly compatible with the needs of the substation control
system and will require some tailoring, this can be done by the user with the Reydisp software comms
editor tool.
The Comms Editor is provided to allow its users to configure the Communications Files Protocols in
Reyrolle brand Relays manufactured by Siemens Protection Devices Limited (SPDL).
The editor supports configuring DNP3, IEC60870-5-103 and MODBUS protocols.
The editor allows configuration files to be retrieved from the relay, edited, then uploaded back to the
relay. Files may also be saved/loaded from disc to work offline. The protocols will be stored in a
Reyrolle Protection Device Comms file (RPDC), which will be stored locally, so that the editor can be
used when the relay is not connected.
DNP3
The tool will allow:
Data Points to be enabled or disabled.
Changing the point numbers for the Binary Inputs, Binary Outputs and Analogue Inputs.
Changing their assigned class and object variants.
Setting Binary points to be inverted before transmission.
Setting the Control Relay Output Block (CROB) commands that can be used with a Binary Output.
Specifying a dead-band outside which Analogue Events will be generated.
Specifying a multiplier that will be applied to an analogue value before transmission.
IEC60870-5-103
The tool will allow:
Data Points to be enabled or disabled.
Changing the point numbers Function Type (FUN) and Information (INF), returned by each point.
Changing the text returned to Reydisp for display in its event viewer.
MODBUS-RTU
The tool will allow:
Changing the Addresses for the Coils, Inputs and Registers.
Changing the format of the instrument returned in a register, e.g. 16 or 32 bit.
Note, as MODBUS points are polled they do not need to be enabled or disabled
The user can check if the relay contains user configured communication files via a meter in the relay
menus. Pressing the Enter and down arrow buttons on the fascia, then scrolling down, the number of
files stored in the relay is displayed. The file name can also be viewed by pressing the Cancel and
Test/Reset buttons together when in the relay Instruments menu. The user must ensure when naming
the file, they use a unique file name including the version number.
Please refer to the Comms Editor Technical Manual for further guidance.
