 Introduction

1 Introduction
The Communications Editor is provided to allow its users to configure the Communications Protocols in
Reyrolle brand Relays manufactured by Siemens Protection Devices Limited (SPDL).

· The Editor supports configuring DNP3, IEC60870-5-103, MODBUS and IEC60870-5-101 protocols.

The editor allows configuration files to be retrieved from the relay, edited and sent 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 Communications file (RPDC).

To use this tool you will need to have the USB driver, supplied with Reydisp Evolution installed.

The following image shows the layout of the main window of the editor once a file has been loaded.

The protocols available to edit are shown in a set of tabs down the right hand edge of the screen. Click the
tab to select the protocol to edit. For protocols unavailable in a device their tab is disabled and cannot be
selected.

Along the top edge of the editor window are tabs showing the data types available for each protocol. Select
the data type to edit.

The image below shows DNP3 and data type Binary Output selected.

Context Menus
Context menus are provided when the user right clicks on an editor page. A context menu is provided for
each protocol. When using the context menus all items selected in the list will be set to the chosen value if
applicable. Multiple items are selected using the standard selection method of clicking the mouse while
holding down the Shift or Control keys. This provides a quick method of setting multiple points to the same
value. The menus will be discussed later in this document, for now, the image below shows an example of
the context menu for DNP3.

3.3.5 MODBUS Definitions

About MODBUS
Modbus registers are 16 bit registers. There is not standard as to how they are used; sometimes multiple
registers are used to hold a data value. This section describes the MODBUS data types we are using. Where a
data type occupies more than one register, it is required that the number of consecutive registers are
reserved. For example, if a two register data point starts at 30101, it is required that register 30102 is also
reserved and so the next available register would be 30103.

The number of registers required for each data type is shown in the table below:
Data Type # Registers required
EVENTCOUNT 1
EVENT 8
FP_32BITS_3DP 2
UINT16 1
UINT32 2
STR32 16
STR64 32
TIMEMETER 4

Data Types
EVENTCOUNT
Single register containing the number of event records stored, refer below.

EVENT
MODBUS does not define a method for extracting events; therefore a private method has been defined based
on that defined by IEC60870-5-103.

The EVENTCOUNT register contains the current number of events in the relays event buffer. The EVENT
registers contains the earliest event record available. The event record is 8 registers (16 bytes) of
information, whose format is described below. When this record has been read it will be replaced by the next
available record. Event records must be read completely; therefore the quantity value must be set to 8 before
reading. Refer to document 434TIR014 Argus MODBUS Implementation for more information.

FP_32BITS_3DP
A real value transmitted as a 32 bit integer scaled and fixed point to three decimal places, for example,
12.345 would be sent as 12345.

UINT16
A 16 bit integer.

UINT32
A 32 bit integer.

STR32
A 32 byte String.

STR64
A 64 byte String.

TIMEMETER
A 4 register (8 byte) Time Meter formatted as shown below

Name
The internal name of the event.

IOA (Information Object Address)

The address of the 101 point. They may have a value in the range of 1-65535.

Measurand
The measurand (event) point type. Options available are described below.
Measurand Type Description
M_SP Single Point information
M_DP Double Point information
M_EP_A Event of protection equipment with time tag
M_EP_B Packed start events of protection equipment with time tag
M_EP_C Packed output circuit information protection equipment with time tag
M_ME_A Measured value, normalized value
M_ME_B Measured value, scaled value
M_ME_C Measured value, short floating point number
M_ME_D Measured value, normalized value without quality descriptor
M_IT Integrated totals
M_ST Step position information
M_BO Bitstring of 32 bits
M_PS Packed single-point information with status change detection

Command
The command point type. Options available are described below. If no command options are available for a
point this box will be empty.
Command Type Description
C_SC Single Point Command
C_DC Double Point Command

Group
Group list indicating which groups this point belongs to.

Select Req.
Selection Required state. Used to specify whether the command for this point requires a select before
execute.

Indexed
Used to specify whether a point is sent Indexed (with an address) or sequential without an address.

Multiplier
When a point is returned as scaled or normalised (refer Measurand above) this is the scaling factor. In scaled
mode the value is simply multiplied this factor. In Normalised mode it is multiplied by 32767 / factor. It can
be any floating point number.

Deadband
This column specifies the ± Deadband value of an analogue input point. When the value of a point leaves this
Deadband window an analogue change event will be generated. This Deadband is the real quantity, e.g.
1000 Amps, before the multiplier is applied, unless it is treated as a percentage, refer below. It can be any
floating point number

%
This column specifies that the Deadband value should be treated as a percentage of the present value. For
example, if the Deadband is 10 and percentage is true the window will be ± 10% the present value. If it is
false it will be ± 10 of the present value. The options are false or true.
