Communication Modules

Overview
The relay data communication facility is compatible with control and automation systems and PCs running Reydisp software. The relay can provide the following:

• Operational information
• Post-fault analysis
• Settings interrogation
• Editing facilities

This section describes how to use the communication interface with a control system or interrogating computer. An appropriate software application within the control system or on the interrogating computer (for example, Reydisp Evolution) is required to access the interface. The relay data communication facility incorporates the protocols selected by you and provides compatibility with control and automation systems. This section specifies connection details and lists the events, commands, and measurand available in the IEC 60870-5-103 and Modbus RTU protocols. The communication interface for dialog communication by the protection engineer is provided by the Reydisp Evolution software packages using the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. You can download the configuration software from www.siemens.com/reyrolle. This section specifies connection details and lists the information available through the individual protocols.

NOTE The 7SR45 Argus Dual Powered Relay variant supports the data communication.

2. Additional binary inputs
3. Additional binary outputs
4. Rear communication port
5. Binary inputs/binary outputs/flag output/pulse output
6. Auxiliary power supply
7. IP20 Cover for current terminals

The relay range provides 1 front USB communication interface (Com2) on the fascia and 1 RS485 (Com1) on the rear. The access to the communication settings for the USB port & the RS485 port is available from the relay front via the keypad setting COMMUNICATION menu. The communication settings for the RS485 port can also be done through Reydisp Evolution via the USB connections.

Communication interface

• The Com2-USB port can be used for IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU communication. The Com2-USB port is used for IEC 60870-5-103 (default setting) communication with the Reydisp Evolution software. The ASCII protocol allows to update the firmware via the front connection.
• Com1-RS485
  The Com1-RS485 port can be used for IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU communications to a substation SCADA, integrated control system, or engineer remote access.

Any or all serial ports can be mapped to the IEC 60870-5-103 or MODBUS RTU protocol at any one time, protocols available will depend upon relay model. When connecting to Reydisp Evolution software, Siemens recommends setting the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol for the relevant port.

USB Communication Interface (Com2)
The USB communication port is connected to the relay using a standard USB cable type B and to the PC using a standard USB cable type A. When Reydisp Evolution software is installed, a suitable USB driver is installed in the PC automatically. When Reydisp Evolution software is running with the USB cable connected to a device, an additional connection is shown in the Reydisp connection window. The connections to these devices are not shown when they are not connected. The USB communication interface on the relay and its associated settings are located in the COMMUNICATION menu. When connecting to Reydisp Evolution using this connection, the default settings can be used without changing any settings.

RS485 Connection (Com1)
The 2 wire RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable RS485 120 Ω shielded 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. The connection can be done via the internal 120 Ω load resistor, which can be connected between (A) and (B) by fitting an external wire loop between terminals 1 and 4 on the X4 connector.

The polarity of the signal terminals is marked as A and B which is in line with the RS485 standard. When the bus is in the idle state and no communication is taking place, the polarity of terminal A is more positive than that of terminal B. These terminals can be used to identify the polarity of any equipment to be connected, typically measured at each terminal in turn to earth. Figure 1-3 shows the connection of the device to a termination network at the end of the bus and suits the idle state.
The polarity marking is often found to be reversed or marked as ± on other equipment, so care is required. If the devices are connected in reverse, then communication to all devices is disturbed without any damage. If problems are experienced during commissioning, perform the connections in reverse. The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 32.
When using the RS485 interface, you must configure the following settings in the following settings on the COMMUNICATION menu:

Modbus RTU

Protocol Characteristics

Description
This section describes the Modbus RTU protocol implementation in the 7SR45 Argus relay. The Modbus RTU protocol is used for communication with a suitable control system. The Modbus RTU protocol can be set to use any number of relay hardware interfaces (USB, RS485) where it is installed. The relay can communicate simultaneously on all ports regardless of the protocol used. To enable the communication, set the station address of the port used to a suitable address within a range of 1 to 247. You can set the station address using the xxxxx-Stn Addr setting under COMMUNICATION menu.

• Protocol Structure

  • Modbus Registers
    Modbus registers are 16-bit registers which do not have any standard for use. Multiple registers are used to hold a data value. This section describes the Modbus data types. If a data type occupies more than 1 register, it is required that the number of consecutive registers are reserved. For example, if a 2 register data point starts at 30101, then it is required that register 30102 is also reserved so that the next available register would be 30103. The following table shows the number of registers required for each data type. Data Type| Registers Required
    ---|---
    EVENTCOUNT| 1
    EVENT| 8
    FP_32BITS_3DP| 2
    UINT16| 1
    UINT32| 2
    STR32| 16
    STR64| 32
    TIME_METER| 4

• Data Types

  • EVENTCOUNT
    A single register containing the number of event records stored.

  • EVENT
    Modbus does not define a method for extracting the events, therefore a private method has been defined based on that defined by in IEC 60870-5-103.
    The EVENTCOUNT register contains the current number of events in the relays operational log. The EVENT register contains the earliest event record available. The event record is 8 registers (16 bytes) of information and the format is described under Format , Page 21. When this record is read, then the event is replaced by the next available record. Event records must be read completely, therefore the quantity value must be set to 8 before reading.

  • FP_32BITS_3DP
    A real value transmitted as a 32-bit integer scaled and fixed point to 3 decimal places. For example, 123.456 would be sent as 123456.

  • UINT16
    A 16-bit integer.

  • UINT32
    A 32-bit integer.

  • STR32
    A 32 byte string.

  • STR64
    A 64 byte string.

  • TIME_METER
    Table 2-1 shows 4 register (8 byte) time meter formatted.
    Table 2-1 Fields in the Time Meter** Byte| Key| Description**
    ---|---|---
    0| ms L| Milliseconds low byte
    1| ms H| Milliseconds high byte
    2| Mi| Minutes (MSB = invalid, time not set > 23 h)
    3| Ho| Hours (MSB – daylight saving time flag)
    4| Da| Days
    5| Mo| Months
    6| Ye L| Years low byte
    7| Ye H| Years high byte (If not used = 0)

  • Modbus Address
    Each data type has an address between 0001 and 9999 with a single digit prefix defining the data type.
    0xxxx = Coils
    1xxxx = Inputs (Read only)
    3xxxx = Status registers (Read only)
    4xxxx = Holding registers
    The following example coils (0xxxx) are of requests and responses. If an invalid address is sent or the data is not available, an exception code is returned. The coils listed are read and written by functions 1 (Read coil status) and 5 (Write coil status) respectively. Use a Modbus command to write a coil. For example, closing a standard relay.
    Read coil status

  • The Read coil status function returns an exception code 2 if any of the addresses in a range are invalid. The addresses listed with a (*) sign cannot be read (polled) as their value is indeterminable. They are listed as write-only coils for sending commands to the device.
    Write coil status

  • The Write coil status function returns an exception code 2 if the address is invalid or if the command cannot be executed. Some addresses listed above are ON commands, rather than ON/OFF. Sending OFF to these addresses will also return exception code 2.

Modbus Register Data Types

1. FLOAT_IEEE_754
   The float data type conforms to the IEEE 754 floating-point definition. The float data type specifies that 32 bits of data is formatted as a sign bit in the most significant bit (MSB) followed by an 8-bit exponent then a 23-bit mantissa, down to the least significant bit (LSB).MSB|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | LSB
   ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
   Sign| Exponent| Mantissa

2. FP_32BITS_3DP
   The FP_32BITS_3DP is a 32-bit integer fixed-point number containing 3 decimal places of information. It is used to send a real value to 3 decimal places as an integer. For example, if the value in a device is 123.456, it is sent as

3. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as two’s complement.

   • FP_32BITS_3DP and MODBUS
     In this Modbus implementation, the 32 bit value is stored in two 16-bit registers in big-endian format. For example, if you consider the hex representation of 123456, you have 1E240h. The following table shows how the registers 30001 and 30002 are stored.
     Table 2-2 FP_32BITS_3DP and Modbus** Address| Value**
     ---|---
     30001| 1
     30002| E240

4. UINT32
   The UINT32 is a signed 32-bit integer. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as two’s complement.

   • UINT32 & MODBUS
     In this Modbus implementation, the 32 bit value is stored in two 16-bit registers in big-endian format. As an example, if you consider the hex representation of -123456, in two’s complement, you have FFFE1DC0h. The following table shows how the registers 30001 and 30002 are stored. Address| Value
     ---|---
     30001| FFFE
     30002| 1DC0

5. UINT16
   The UINT16 is a signed 16-bit integer. As it is an integer, negative numbers are sent as two’s complement.

   • UINT16 & MODBUS
     In this Modbus implementation, the 16-bit value is stored in a 16-bit register in big-endian format. For example, if you consider the hex representation of 5678, you have 162Eh.
     Table 2-3 UINT16 and Modbus** Address| Value**
     ---|---
     30001| 162E
   • Truncation
     The calculations are performed as 32-bit value. The 16-bit value is the lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit value. Therefore, when values overflow, the returned value is the lowest 16 bits of the calculated value. For example, if the value is 85400 = 14D98h, then the value returned would be the lowest 16 bits = 4D98h which equals 19864.

6. EVENT
   Modbus does not define a method for extracting the events, therefore a private method has been defined based on IEC 60870-5-103. The EVENT register contains the earliest event record available. The following format describes the event record as 8 registers (16 bytes) of information. When this record is read, it is replaced with the next available record. Event records must be read completely, therefore the quantity value must be set to 8 before reading. A failure to read, results in an exception code 2. If no event record is present, then exception code 2 is returned. The master polls the EVENT register regularly. The EVENTCOUNT register can be checked periodically to determine how many events are stored.

   • Format
     The format of the event record is defined by the 0 byte. It signifies the type of record which is used to decode the event indications. The 0 byte can be one of the following:
     Table 2-4 Format** Type| Description**
     ---|---
     1| Event
     2| Event with relative time
     4| Measurand event with relative time

The following table describes the fields in the event record.
Table 2-5 Event Record****

2 = ON

ms L| Time stamp in milliseconds low byte
ms H| Time stamp in milliseconds high byte
Mi| Time stamp in minutes (MSB = invalid, time not set > 23 h)

6. EVENTCOUNT
   The EVENTCOUNT register contains the current number of events in the relays operational log. On reception, the register is intepreted as a 16-bit integer.

7. TIME_METER
   The TIME_METER register contains the devices time. The time is read or written in one step, therefore the quantity is 4 registers. The failure to read or write results in an exception code 2. The following table shows the time format is 8 bytes and describes the fields in the time.

   Ye H| Time stamp in years high byte (Not used)

The following table shows the time fields as return.
Table 2-10 Event Type 1 Format****

8. STR32 and STR64
   • BITSTRING
     A bit string (or bit-array) is a method of compactly storing a number of bits of data. In this instance, you can store up to 16 bit values, for example the states of binary inputs in a single 16-bit register. The first bit value is stored in the least significant bit (LSB) of the register. The 16th value is stored in the most significant bit (MSB). The bit values can only be 0 or 1. Any unused bits are set to 0. In Modbus implementation, the 16-bit value is stored in a 16-bit register in big-endian format. For example, if the bits 1, 3, 9, and 12 are set, then the binary representation is 0000100100000101 giving a hex representation of 0905h.
     The following table shows how the register 30001 is stored:
     Table 2-11 Bit String** Address| Value**
     ---|---
     30001| 0905

On reception, the register is intepreted in the correct order as a 16-bit integer.

NOTE In the RTU mode, message frames are separated with a silent interval of at least 3.5 character times and the time interval is also called t3.5. The Modbus RTU master provides the t3.5 delay for responding to another query.
The following silent interval time equation is implemented in the 7SR45 Argus Relay:
t delay required = 11 bits ⋅ 3.5/b
Where,
b = baud rate in bit/s
tdelay for 7SR45 = tdelay required + 10 ms tolerance

NOTE Only tp or ts must be equal to tdelay for the 7SR45 Argus Relay.

IEC 60870-5-103

Protocol Characteristics

Description
This section describes the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol implementation in the relays. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is used for the communication with the Reydisp Evolution software and can also be used for communication with a suitable control system. In the system, the control system or local PC acts as the master and the relay operating as a slave responds to the master commands. The implementation provides:

• Event message
• Time synchronization
• Commands
• Measurand
• Transfer of fault records

The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol can be used in any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, RS485) where it is fitted. The USB interface uses the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol as the standard protocol. The relay can communicate simultaneously on all ports regardless of the protocol used. To enable communication, set the station address of the port being used to a suitable address within the range 0 to 254. You can set the station address using the xxxxx-Stn Addr setting under COMMUNICATION menu.

NOTE In the IEC 60870-5-103, message frames are separated with a silent interval of at least 3.5 character times and the time interval is also called t3.5. The IEC 60870-5-103 master provides the t3.5 delay for responding to another query.
The following silent interval time equation is implemented in the 7SR45 Argus Relay:
t delay required = 11 bits ⋅ 3.5/b
Where
b = baud rate in bit/s
tdelay for 7SR45 = tdelay required + 10 ms tolerance

Troubleshooting

• Relays do not communicate in a multi-drop network
  • Siemens recommends proceeding as follows:
  • Check that all relays are powered up with auxiliary power supply.
  • Check the polarity of rear communication terminal and connection.
  • Check that all relays have unique addresses.
  • Check if RS485 terminating resistor is required and in circuit.
• Cannot communicate with the relay through Reydisp Evolution
  • Siemens recommends proceeding as follows:
  • Check the communication cable is connected properly.
  • Check that the USB driver is installed correctly.
  • In Reydisp Evolution, verify that Do NOT Check Communications Connection is selected in the Advanced properties.
  • In Reydisp Evolution, check that the relay address is set as 1 in the Relay menu.
  • Ensure that IEC 60870-5-103 is specified for the connected port (COM1 or COM2).
