 Safety information
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the
auxiliary voltage has been disconnected.

Non-observance can result in death, personal injury or substantial

property damage.

Only a competent electrician is allowed to carry out the electrical

installation.

National and local electrical safety regulations must always be

followed.

The frame of the device has to be carefully earthed.

When the plug-in unit has been detached from the case, do not touch
the inside of the case. The relay case internals may contain high
voltage potential and touching these may cause personal injury.

The device contains components which are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. Unnecessary touching of electronic components must
therefore be avoided.

Environmental aspects

Section 2 Environmental aspects

2.1 Sustainable development

Sustainability has been taken into account from the beginning of the product design
including the pro-environmental manufacturing process, long life time, operation
reliability and disposing of the IED.

The choice of the materials and the suppliers has been made according to the EU
RoHS directive (2002/95/EC). This directive limits the use of hazardous substances
which are the following:

Table 2: Maximum concentration values by weight per homogeneous material

Substance Proposed maximum concentration
Lead - Pb 0,1%
Mercury - Hg 0,1%
Cadmium - Cd 0,01%
Hexavalent Chromium Cr (VI) 0,1%
Polybrominated biphenyls - PBB 0,1%
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers - PBDE 0,1%

Operational reliability and long life time have been assured with extensive testing
during the design and manufacturing processes. Moreover, long life time is supported
by maintenance and repair services as well as by the availability of spare parts.

Design and manufacturing have been done under a certified environmental system.
The effectiveness of the environmental system is constantly evaluated by an external
auditing body. We follow environmental rules and regulations systematically to
evaluate their effect on our products and processes.

2.2 Disposing of the IED

Definitions and regulations of hazardous materials are country-specific and change

when the knowledge of materials increases. The materials used in this product are
typical for electric and electronic devices.

All parts used in this product are recyclable. When disposing cast-off IEDs or its parts,
contact the local enterprisers who are authorized and specialized in handling

RED615 overview

Section 3 RED615 overview

3.1 Overview

RED615 is a two terminal phase segregated line differential protection IED designed
for the protection, measurement and supervision of feeders in utility substations and
industrial power systems. Re-engineered from the ground up, the IED has been guided
by the IEC 61850 standard for communication and interoperability of substation
automation devices.

The IED provides unit type main protection for overhead lines and cable feeders in
distribution networks. The IED also features current-based protection functions for
remote back-up to the down stream protection relays and local back-up for the line
differential main protection.

The IED is adapted for the protection of overhead line and cable feeders in isolated
neutral, resistance earthed, compensated (impedance earthed) and solidly earthed
networks. Once the standard configuration IED has been given the application-
specific settings, it can directly be put into service.

The 615 series IEDs support a range of communication protocols including IEC
61850 with GOOSE messaging and Modbus®.

3.8 Communication

The IED supports two different communication protocols: IEC 61850 and
Modbus®. Operational information and controls are available through these
protocols. IEC 61850 communication can be used parallel with Modbus®.
Modbus® protocol uses either Ethernet or the RS-485 bus.

The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports all monitoring and control
functions. Additionally, parameter setting and disturbance file records can be
accessed using the IEC 61850-8-1 protocol. Further, the IED can send and receive
binary signals from other IEDs (so called horizontal communication) using the IEC
61850-8-1 GOOSE profile, where the highest performance class with a total
transmission time of 3 ms is supported. The IED can simultaneously report to five
different IEC 61850-8-1 clients.

The IED can support five simultaneous clients. If PCM600 reserves one client
connection, only four client connections are left, for example, for IEC 61850 and
Modbus.

All communication connectors, except for the front port connector, are placed on
integrated optional communication modules. The IED can be connected to Ethernet-
based communication systems via the RJ-45 connector (100BASE-TX). If connection
to a RS-485 network is required, the 9-pin screw-terminal connector can be used. An
ST-type connector for serial communication over fibre optics is available as well. A
direct, dedicated fibre-optic connection is used between the IEDs as a protection
communication link. 1300 nm multi-mode or single-mode fibres with LC connectors
are used for line differential communication. The LC port in the IED is always the
topmost.

3.9 PCM600 configuration tool

Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 offers all the necessary functionality
to work throughout all stages of the IED life cycle:

• Planning
• Engineering
• Commissioning
• Operation and disturbance handling
• Functional analysis

With the individual tool components, you can perform different tasks and functions
and control the whole substation. PCM600 can operate with many different topologies
depending on customer needs.

3.9.1 Connectivity packages

Connectivity package is a collection of software and information related to a specific
protection and control terminal providing system products and tools to connect and
interact with the IED.

Connectivity Package Manager is a tool that helps the user to define the right
connectivity package versions for different system products and tools. Connectivity
Package Manager is included in products supporting the connectivity concept.

Use the connectivity packages to create configuration structure in PCM600. In

addition to other products supporting connectivity concept, the connectivity packages
for PCM600 contain:

• Description of IED's internal parameters and their properties such as data format,
unit, setting range, visibility and access rights. The description texts can be
translated into other languages as well.
• Software components that adapt the IED-specific interfaces to the standard
interfaces of system products and tools such as IED-specific dispatchers for tools.
This means that there is a protocol-specific adaptation for the parameter setting
and disturbance handling tool components, for example disturbance uploading
according to COMTRADE.

3.9.2 PCM600 and IED connectivity package version

Supported tools:

• Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 Ver. 2.0 SP1 or later
• RED615 Connectivity Package Ver. 1.0
• Parameter Setting Tool
• Disturbance Handling Tool
• Signal Monitoring Tool
• Signal Matrix Tool
• Communication Management Tool

IED operation

Section 5 IED operation

5.1 Operation in normal case

The basic operation procedures in normal IED use situation are:

• Monitoring of measured values
• Checking the function setting parameters
• Checking the test data

All basic operations can be performed via the LHMI, WHMI or with PCM600.

For more information, see PCM600 documentation.

5.1.1 Function settings

To check the correct operation of the IED, check the function settings via the
LHMI, WHMI or PCM600.

5.1.2 Test data

The IED's functions can be tested to ensure correct operation. After a specific test,
you can analyze the results.

5.2 Disturbance case operation

The IED is designed to identify and indicate several types of disturbances. The main
purpose of a protective IED is to identify power system disturbances and operate
according to the disturbance to avoid damage for power system equipment and people.
In other words, to disconnect the disturbance from the healthy network.

Many disturbance origins are permanent and cannot be automatically cleared. The
IED then collects disturbance data for later analysis.

Only authorized and skilled personnel should analyze possible errors

and decide on further action. Otherwise, stored important disturbance
data can be permanently lost

RED615 59
Operation Manual

Downloaded from www.dlmanuals.com

 Section 5 1MRS756499 A
IED operation

Some disturbances can be IED related, for example, external damage to hardware.
The IED supervises internal faults and indicates them to ensure that the user can take
the right corrective actions. Disturbance data can be read, managed and analyzed with
PCM600.

For more information, see PCM600 documentation.

5.2.1 Disturbance case identification

Disturbances and their causes can be identified on the basis of indicator LEDs: Ready,
Start and Trip. In normal operation case the Ready LED is steady green.

Table 14: Disturbance indications

LED State Description
Start LED Yellow, steady Protection started
Start LED Yellow, blinking Protection function blocked
Trip LED Red, steady Protections operated
Ready LED Green, blinking Internal faults

Further actions to be taken to identify the disturbance:

• Analyzing disturbance recordings

• Monitoring recorded data
• Reading internal events
• Finding available functions

5.2.2 Operation in tripping case

If a protection function trip is not cleared automatically, the cause of fault should be
checked to identify needs for further actions.

Document the tripping case before clearing the information from the
IED.

5.2.3 Internal IED errors

The IED monitors internal software and hardware errors. Internal error information
is collected to the IED for later analysis. The main indication of an internal fault is a
blinking green Ready LED.

60 RED615
Operation Manual

Downloaded from www.dlmanuals.com

 1MRS756499 A Section 5
IED operation

Errors can be caused by external or internal events damaging the IED. Internal
supervision functionality monitors different types of internal errors. These can be
divided to hardware errors, runtime errors in application or operating system and
communication errors. Further actions always depend on the cause of the errors.

Only authorized and skilled personnel should analyze the errors and
decide on further actions.

Internal IED errors may be caused by:

• Hardware errors
• Runtime errors
• Communication errors

The IED records:

• IED self-supervision report

• Event list
• System registrations

Document all the recorded data from the IED before you reset the
tripping and IED lockout functions.

5.2.4 Disturbance recording triggering

Disturbance recordings are normally triggered by IED applications when they detect
fault events. Disturbance recordings can also be triggered manually or periodically.

5.2.5 Disturbance record analysis

The IED collects disturbance records of fault events which are set to trigger the
disturbance recorder. Disturbance data is collected and stored for later viewing and
analysis. The disturbance recorder data can be uploaded and analyzed, for example,
with PCM600.

For more information, see PCM600 documentation.

5.2.6 Disturbance reports

PCM600 can be used for creating reports of disturbance recorder data.

 Section 5 1MRS756499 A
IED operation

For more information, see PCM600 documentation.

5.3 Fault determination

Sometimes the cause of an application fault can be determined via the LHMI. Usually,
this is not enough and a more detailed analysis of the application configuration is
needed. This can be done with PCM600.

5.3.1 Application problem verification

The faulty operation of application functions is usually related to wrong configuration
or incorrect wiring of the external voltage and currents or binary inputs.

5.4 IED parametrization

IED parameters are usually set with a parameter setting tool but it can also be done
via the LHMI or WHMI.

Setting parameters need to be calculated according to the electrical network

conditions and the electrical characteristics of the protected equipment. The IED's
settings need to be verified before the IED is connected to a system.

For more information, see PCM600 documentation.

Document all changes to parameter settings.

5.4.1 IED settings for IED functionality

Function settings can be edited one by one by navigating to the individual setting
values, for example via the LHMI. The values in other setting groups should be known
before editing a certain setting value.

After completing the editing of setting group values, the new values are activated.
The user can either commit the edited values or discard them. Setting values can also
be copied from one setting group to another.

Troubleshooting

Section 7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Fault tracing

7.1.1 Identifying hardware errors

Most hardware errors are caused by external events which physically damage the
IED's hardware. Probable causes are, for example, overvoltage, spikes and short
circuits which damage one or several of the IED's physical inputs or outputs. Human
errors can also cause damage during installation or operation. As a consequence, one
or several physical cards, inputs or outputs may stop operating due to the damage.

1. Check the module with an error.

Check the IED supervision events in Main Menu/Monitoring/IED status/Self-
supervision for a faulty hardware module.
2. Inspect the IED visually
• Inspect the IED visually to find the physical error causes.
• If you can find some obvious physical damage, contact ABB for repair or
replacement actions.
3. Check whether the error is external or internal.
• Check that the error is not caused by external origins.
• Remove the wiring from the IED and test the input and output operation
with an external test device.
• If the problem remains, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions.

7.1.2 Identifying runtime errors

Runtime errors may be caused by component failures or software problems. Some
errors are cleared automatically but sometimes, for example in case of a component
failure, proper corrective actions are needed.

1. Check the error origin from the IED's supervision events Main Menu/
Monitoring/IED status/Self-supervision.
2. Reboot the IED and recheck the supervision events to see if the fault has cleared.
3. In case of persistent faults, contact ABB for corrective actions.

7.1.3 Identifying communication errors

Communication errors are normally communication interruptions or synchronization
message errors due to communication link breakdown.

1. Check the operation of the communication link.

2. Check the time synchronization. On the LHMI, this can be done by navigating
from Main Menu/Monitoring/IED status/Time synchronization.
3. In case of persistent faults originating from IED's internal faults such as
component breakdown, contact ABB for repair or replacement actions.

7.1.4 Checking communication LEDs

There are two LEDs on the LHMI above the RJ-45 communication port.

• To verify communication, check that both LEDs are lit.

Table 15: Communication LEDs

LED Communication ok
Uplink Steady green light
Communication Blinking yellow light

7.1.5 Running the display test

A short display test is always run, when auxiliary voltage is connected to the IED.
You can also run the display test manually.

• Press simultaneously and .

The LEDs are tested by turning them on simultaneously. The LCD shows a set
of patterns so that all the pixels are activated. After the test, the display returns
to normal state.

Different actions are taken depending on the severity of the fault. The IED tries to
eliminate the fault by restarting. After the fault is found to be permanent, the IED
stays in internal fault mode. All other output contacts are released and locked for the
internal fault. The IED continues to perform internal tests during the fault situation.

The internal fault code indicates the type of internal IED fault. When a fault appears,
document the code and state it when ordering the service.

Section 8 Commissioning

8.1 Commissioning checklist

Familiarize yourself with the IED and its functionality before you start the
commissioning work.
• Ensure that you have all the needed station drawings such as single line and
wiring diagrams.
• Ensure that your version of the technical reference manual applies to the IED
version you test.
• Ensure that your setting software and connectivity packages work with the IED
version you test.
• Find out if you need any additional software.
• Ensure that you have the IED settings either on paper or in electronic format.
The settings and logic should be well documented.
• Inspect the settings to ensure that they are correct.
• Ensure that you have the correct cable to connect your PC to the IED's
communication port. The RJ-45 port supports any CAT 5 Ethernet cable but the
recommendation is STP.
• Test your PC's communication port before you go to the site.
• Find out who to contact if you have trouble and make sure you have a means to
contact them.
• Find out who is responsible for the settings.
• Ensure that you have with you the proper test equipment and all needed
connection cables.
• Ensure that the owner of the switchgear familiarizes you with the work site and
any special aspects of it.
• Ensure that you know how to operate in emergency situations. Find out where
the first aid and safety materials and exit routes are.

8.2 Checking installation

8.2.1 Checking the power supply

Check that the auxiliary supply voltage remains within the permissible input voltage
range under all operating conditions. Check that the polarity is correct.

8.2.2 Checking CT circuits

The CTs must be connected in accordance with the terminal diagram provided with
the IED, both with regards to phases and polarity. The following tests are
recommended for every primary CT or CT core connected to the IED:

• Primary injection test to verify the current ratio of the CT, the correct wiring up
to the protection IED and correct phase sequence connection (that is L1, L2,
L3.)
• Polarity check to prove that the predicted direction of secondary current flow is
correct for a given direction of primary current flow. This is an essential test for
the proper operation of the directional function, protection or measurement in
the IED.
• CT secondary loop resistance measurement to confirm that the current
transformer secondary loop dc resistance is within specification and that there
are no high resistance joints in the CT winding or wiring.
• CT excitation test to ensure that the correct core in the CT is connected to the
IED. Normally only a few points along the excitation curve are checked to ensure
that there are no wiring errors in the system, for example due to a mistake in
connecting the CT's measurement core to the IED.
• CT excitation test to ensure that the CT is of the correct accuracy rating and that
there are no short circuited turns in the CT windings. Manufacturer's design
curves should be available for the CT to compare the actual results.
• Check the earthing of the individual CT secondary circuits to verify that each
three-phase set of main CTs is properly connected to the station earth and only
at one electrical point.
• Insulation resistance check.
• Phase identification of CT shall be made.

Both primary and secondary sides must be disconnected from the line
and IED when plotting the excitation characteristics.

If the CT secondary circuit is opened or its earth connection is missing

or removed without the CT primary being de-energized first,
dangerous voltages may be produced. This can be lethal and damage,
for example, insulation. The re-energizing of the CT primary should
be inhibited as long as the CT secondary is open or unearthed.

8.4 Using PCM600

8.4.1 Setting communication between IEDs and PCM600

The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the used
communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC. It can be seen as a
second channel for communication.

The communication media is always Ethernet and the protocol is TCP/IP.

Each IED has an Ethernet front connector for PCM600 access. Depending on the
station concept and the used station protocol, additional Ethernet interfaces may be
available on the rear side of the IED. All Ethernet interfaces can be used to connect
PCM600.

When an Ethernet based station protocol is used, the PCM600 communication can
use the same Ethernet port and IP address. The IED is able to separate the information
belonging to the PCM600 dialog.

To configure the physical connection and the IP addresses:

1. Set up or get the IP addresses of the IEDs.

2. Set up the PC for a direct link or connect the PC or workstation to the network.
3. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED. The
addresses are used for communication by the OPC interface of PCM600.

8.4.1.1 Communication options

Two options are available for the connection of PCM600 to the IED.

• Direct point to point link between PCM600 and the IED

• Indirect link via a station LAN or from remote via a network

Point to point link

The IED is provided with an RJ-45 connector on the LHMI. The connector is mainly
for configuration and setting purposes. Any Ethernet cable can be used but the
recommendation is STP.

The IED has a DHCP server for the front interface. The DHCP server assigns an IP
address to the computer connected to the front interface. The computer's LAN
interface has to be configured to obtain the IP address automatically.

LAN or WAN network

In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP
subnet. A router connects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains
both a LAN address and a WAN address. Design considerations for computer
networks cover a wide range of topics including layout, capacity planning, and
security. To some extent, the network configuration also depends on user preferences.

8.4.1.2 Setting communication parameters

The IP address and the corresponding mask can be set via the LHMI for the rear port.
The front port uses a fixed IP address 192.168.0.254. The front port also uses
DHCP.

Each Ethernet interface has a factory default IP address when the complete IED is
delivered.
