1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Reference documents

The following references serves as a base for this description.
[1] IEC60870-5-103, TELECONTROL EQUIPMENT AND
SYSTEMS, PART 5-103 Transmission Protocols, First
Edition, December 1997
[2] RE.316*4 Operating Instructions
1.2. Scope
1.2.1. Software version

The following description is valid for the „VDEW“ variant of the
RE.316*4 firmware.
1.2.2. Contents of IEC60870-5-103

IEC60870-5-103 defines the four types of protection distance,
transformer differential, overcurrent and line differential protec-
tion. These Operating Instructions only concern distance protec-
tion.
The functions described in IEC60870-5-103 are divided into the
three categories “Public Defined Signals”, “Disturbance Data
Transfer” and “Generic Services”. This paper describes the parts
“Public Defined Signals” and “Disturbance Data Transfer”.
1.2.3. RE.316*4 configuration requirements

The RE.316*4 is only configured as a distance protection in the
sense of IEC60870-5-103 when all conditions listed below are
fulfilled:
• The distance protection function is configured once.
• Neither a transformer differential nor a line differential function
may be configured.
• The IEC60870-5-103 function is configured.
• When operating with several parameter sets, the IEC60870-5-
103 function may not be configured a second time, but must
be copied from the first parameter set.

3.3. Supported public signals
3.3.1. General
In the tables below the signals of the RE.316*4 distance protec-
tion are listed. The tables have the following columns:
INF The information number according to [1].
GI A x means: the signal is a part of the general inter-
rogation.
Description Textual description of the signal according to [1].
Function The RE.316*4 function where the signal originates
from according to the table in Section 5.1.
Signal The signal of the RE.316*4 function from which the
information number origins.
The combination ‘Function’ and ‘Signal’ uniquely defines the ori-
gin of each information number in the RE.316*4. Some signals
are generated by the communication interface or the diagnostic
software and have no direct coupling to a function or signal in
the RE.316*4. These signals are marked ‘Internal’ in the ‘Func-
tion’ column.
The function type of all public signals is 128 (distance protection).
8
3.3.2. System functions

Below are tables defining which of the IEC60870-5-103 informa-
tion numbers that are supported. For each information number is
defined from what RE.316*4 protection/system function and sig-
nal the information number is derived.
INF GI Description Function Signal
<0> - End of general interrogation Internal Generated by the communication

software
<0> - Time synchronisation Internal Generated by the communication
software
<2> - Reset FCB Internal Generated by the communication
software
<3> - Reset CU Internal Generated by the communication
software
<4> - Start/Restart Internal Warmstart
<5> - Power on Internal Coldstart
Internally generated signals from the communication software

are for communication co-ordination purposes and do not have
any equivalent protection/system functions or signals.
No configuration is necessary for any of the signals above.

and including version V5.1a are only present in the GI. This is
due to restarting the protection following a change of a parame-
ter set (characteristic) in the RE.316*4. From V5.1b events are
also created.

The signal "I>> backup operation" is only set when the distance
function is blocked. The backup function, however, can only be
blocked by the inverted signal "Dist Blocked" and is otherwise
always active (see Section 5.1.4.).
The group warning and group error signals are derived from the
diagnostic of the RE.316*4. They are not possible to force for
test purposes.

4. GENERIC PART SIGNALS AND FUNCTIONS
4.1. General
The RE.316*4 supports the transmission of generic events (bi-
nary signals) and generic measurands. For this “VDEW6EKZ”
must be selected as project directory (see Section 5.2). General
interrogation is also supported, but not general write and read
commands, however (see Section 4.4). Generic data are always
transmitted in the format of an ASDU 10 (ASDU = Application
Service Data Unit) (see Section 7.3.1.9 in [1]. Thereby the in-
formation number 244 is always used, i. e. only single values are
transmitted. The termination of the general interrogation is sig-
nalled by an ASDU with the information number 245. In the other
fields of the ASDU there are defined the data for the group num-
bers and the entry, as specified in the following Chapters.
4.2. Generic events and general interrogation

There are altogether 64 generic events that can be configured to
an arbitrary binary signal in the RE.316*4. Of the 64 events, 32
are status indications with status and time stamp (DATATYPE
18 in [1], 7.3.6.32), and 32 are fault indication with status, time
stamp, relative time and fault number (DATATYPE 19 in [1],
7.2.6.32). All events that are configured are also sent during a
generic general interrogation.
For group and entry addresses see table below:
Group Entry GI DATATYPE Remark
101 1…32 Yes 18 Time tagged message for status

indications
102 1…32 Yes 19 Time tagged message with rela-
tive time for fault indications
4.3. Generic measurements

There are 16 freely configurable measurands in the generic part.
They all have the range ±2.4 times nominal value. All measure-
ments have a tolerance, which is determined by a delta and a
timeout . Measurements are updated at changes exceeding 5%.
If there are no changes, updating follows at intervals of x sec-
19
onds. For x a setting of 10…1000 seconds is foreseen (Parame-

ter “EventTXDelay” ; see Chapter 5.1.3).
Group Entry GI DATATYPE Remark
141 1…16 No 12 Measurand with quality descriptor
4.4. Generic read and write

All generic read and write commands are accepted by the link
but rejected by the application. The present version does not
contain any directory or other generic data.

5. CONFIGURATION GUIDE
5.1. System and Protection functions

In the RE.316*4 there are 13 system functions (inserted by the
system automatically) followed by a number of protection func-
tions as selected by the user. In the tables below a configuration
is shown that will generate all available signals listed in 3.3. If
one or several functions are not needed, they may be excluded.
The signals generated by the excluded functions will then also
be missing. If more functions are needed in a configuration they
may be added to the configuration. Please see below for con-
straints on the sequence of the configured functions.
Func No. The number the functions have in the set file. Sub-
tract 13 to obtain the numbers configured by the
user using the HMI.
Name The name the functions have in the set file.
Abbr. Function designation in the tables in Section 3.3.
HMI The path in the HMI to access the functions pa-
rameters.

**) From Version V6.2 onwards, the three-phase function MeasureModule

can be configured instead of the 3rd., 4th. and 5th. function “Measrue-
ment”.
The two earth fault functions for ungrounded systems must al-
ways be configured so that the first function is for the forwards
22
direction and the second is for the backward direction. Any num-
ber of extra earth fault functions may follow but not precede
these two functions.
The measurement functions must not follow in a strict sequence
but other functions may be configured in between.
If one or several functions are not configured, then the corre-
sponding information numbers (see Section 3.3) will also be
missing.

General Parameters
Parameter Setting
Ref Length Ref Length must be set to a value that transforms

the fault location from secondary side to primary
side. The formula for this is:
Ref Length = Prim Sec Ratio I / Prim Sec Ratio U
Example: Prim Sec Ratio I = 1200, Prim Sec
Ratio U = 100 => Ref Length = 1200 / 100 = 12
ResetEvents Must be set to ‘All’, otherwise some events re-
ceived will not be signalled.
The fault location must be represented in primary side Ohms ac-

cording to [1]. For more information on Ref. Length see [2].

5.1.6. IEC60870-5-103
Parameters in the sub-menus ‘General’, ‘Binary Inp’ and ‘Binary
Out’ have to be configured for the IEC60870-5-103 function,
which has more parameters than are described here. The addi-
tional parameters are intended for the future generic services
(see Section 5.2).
Path:
Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / General
If the generic services are being used, select the file ‘PROJECT1
BIN’ in the subdirectory ‘VDEW6EKZ’ of the HMI directory, oth-
erwise ‘PROJECT1.BIN’ in the subdirectory ‘VDEW6’. The pro-
ject directory then appears as ‘VDEW6EKZ’ resp. ‘VDEW6’.
Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / Binary Inp
There are four alternative procedures for configuring the VDEW6
binary inputs:
1. Direct setting via the HMI to ‘always off’ resp. ‘always on’
2. Configure binary input
3. Configure the output of a protection function
4. Configure an SCS signal (mandatory for the command in-
puts).
The chosen possibility depends on the settings of the protection
unit.
Parameter Setting
IN_MELDE_MW_SP Source of the blocking signal for signals and

measurands. An ‘always on’ disables them and
an ‘always off’ enables them.
Normally assigned to a binary channel, but can
also be set to ‘always on’ or ‘always off’ using the
HMI.

5.1.12. Measurement
The communication interface uses the first five measuring func-
tions it finds in the set file for the publicly defined measurands. It
is important that these first five measuring functions are config-
ured as described below. If you need further measuring functions
they must be configured after these five measuring functions.
The five functions need not be configured strictly after each
other, but other functions may be configured inbetween.
From Version V6.2 onwards, a three-phase measuring function
is included with the designation “MeasureModule”, which can be
used instead of the third, fourth and fifth ‘Measurement’ function.
The communication interface uses the first function it finds in the
list of configured functions. It is not permissible to configure the
“MeasureModule” function between the third and fourth or fourth
and fifth ‘Measurement’ functions as this would produce invalid
results.
The first ‘Measurement’ function supplies the values I, U, P and
Q for the data unit 3.3 according to [1]. It is important that the
angle is set to compensate for the difference between the RS
delta voltage and the phase S current.
33
Editor / Configure Prot Func / Measurement (1)
Parameter Setting
Current Inp Configured for phase S
Angle Compensate for the current inphase S and the volt-

age from phase to phase RS so that the power val-
ues are correct. Typical setting: +150°.
Voltage Inp Configured for phase R
PN 1.00
Voltage mode Phase-to-phase (RS)
The second ‘Measurement’ function supplies the values I0 and

U0 for the data unit 3.4 according to [1]. Only make sure that the
correct transformers are configured here. If one of the I0 or U0 is
missing, connect the input to transformer in any case.
Parameter Setting
Current Inp Configured for I0
Angle Irrelevant
Voltage Inp Configured for U0
PN Irrelevant
Voltage mode Direct
The third to fifth ‘Measuring’ functions supplies the communica-

tion with the values I, U, P, Q and f for the data unit 9 according
to [1]. The frequency is taken from the third function and the P
and Q are added together from all the three functions.

5.1.13. MeasureModule
From Version V6.2 onwards, a three-phase measuring function
is included with the designation “MeasureModule”, which can be
used instead of the third, fourth and fifth ‘Measuring’ functions.
The communication interface uses the first function in the list of
configured functions, i.e. the “MeasureModule” function is used if
it is configured first, but if five ‘Measuring’ functions are config-
ured first, the results generated by the third, fourth and fifth
‘Measuring’ functions are used for transferring the three-phase
measurements. The “MeasureModule” function can be config-
ured at any position excepting between the third and fourth or
fourth and fifth ‘Measuring’ functions as this would produce inva-
lid results.

5.1.15. Disturbance recorder

The disturbance recorder must be configured as described be-
low to assure an interoperable mode of operation. It is important
that “GenStart” is used as the trigger and that “GenTrip” is re-
corded as a tag. “GenStart” as trigger guarantees that the fault-
number of events and disturbances remains the same. “GenTrip”
is used to evaluate if a recorded disturbance has also led to a
trip.
Editor / Configure Prot Func / DisturbanceRec
Parameter Setting
preEvent Choose values that are multiples of 30. To get

a disturbance record status “with trip”, the re-
Event cording period must be set longer than the
maximum tripping time.

37
Parameter Setting
BinInp 1…16 (BinaryAddr) For interoperability use the following must ap-
ply:
• Assign GenStart to one BinInp (any).
• Assign GenTrip to one BinInp (any).
• Any signal may be assigned to any of the
remainder (see Section 3.4.2 for addressing
of the tags).
• Unused BinInp’s must be set to ‘always
OFF’ (default).
BinInp 1…16 (Select) Must all be set to “no trig”.
MWAInp 1…12 May not be connected (default).
MWAScale 1…12 Must all be set to ‘1’ (default).
38
5.2. Generic signals

Signals not defined as public are transferred as generic signals.
All generic signals that are configured are automatically included
when general polling of generic signals takes place.
Generic signals are defined as IEC60870-5-103 function signals
via
Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / General
Where generic services are required, enter the file ‘PRO-
JECT1.BIN’ in the subdirectory ‘VDEW6EKZ’ of the HMI direc-
tory. The ‘Project Sub Dir’ then appears as ‘VDEW6EKZ’.
5.2.1. Binary Inp

Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / Binary Inp
Parameter Setting
IN_BI1…IN_BI32 These are status signals. On change they generate

events with new status and a time stamp
(DATATYPE = 18 in [1]).
They may be configured as:
• Binary channel
• Output from function
• Always off
IN_BI33…IN_BI64 These are fault signals. On change they generate

events with new status, fault number, relative time
and a time stamp (DATATYPE = 19 in [1]).
They may be configured as:
• Binary channel
• Output from function
• Always off
All signals defined as generic signals in “Binary Inp” as de-

scribed above, must also be configured for event recording in
“Binary Out”. If not they will not generate events and will not par-
take in the generic general interrogation.
39
Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / Binary Out
Parameter Setting
OUT_BI1…OUT_BI32 If defined as generic signals in the Binary Inp they:

and • must be configured with event recording on
(ER)
OUT_BI33…OUT_BI64
• may be configured as indication to LED and/or
signal relay.
5.2.2. Measurands
There are 16 freely configurable generic measurands available.
They can be assigned to any measurement output of any
RE.316*4 function. In the MW Inputs menu the source of the
measurand in RE.316*4 is selected and in the MW Outputs
menu a value is set in order to activate the measurand for the
communication interface.
Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / MW Inputs
Parameter Setting
IN_ME1…IN_ME16 Sixteen freely configurable measurands with

quality descriptor (DATATYPE = 12 in [1]

They may be configured with outputs from func-
tions only.
Editor / Configure Prot Func / IEC60870-5-103 / MW Outputs
Parameter Setting
OUT_ME1…OUT_ME16 All measurands used (i.e. where there is an input

in the MW input menu) must have a value other
than 0 in “MW Outputs”. Setting the value the
same as the measurand’s number is recom-
mended, e.g.
OUT_ME1 set to 1, OUT_ME10 set to 10 etc.

6. TEST GUIDE
6.1. Test of the physical connection

a) Connect the converter 316BM61b to the rear of the RE.316*4
and turn on the power. Do not connect any optical fibres to the
316BM61b.
b) Look into the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) diodes alter-
natingly. There must be a small spot of red light out from the
transmitter diode.
Possible problems and solutions:
• The RE.316*4 has no power. Check that the power is on to
the RE.316*4 and that the green Led on the front of the
RE.316*4 is either lit or blinking.
• The 316BM61b has no power. Measure with a voltmeter on
the following pins of the 9 pin sub-D connector at the rear.
View from rear.
Pin 4 +12V
Pin No1
6
2
Pin 5 Ground 3 7
8
4 9
5
Pin 9 -12 V
If the above voltages are not present the 316VC61a/b must be

changed.
• The 316BM61b is not OK. Try with another 316BM61b.
41
6.2. Test of the link connection

The following steps will test the start up procedures and the time
synchronisation. Both cold and warm starts are tested.
a) Before starting the HMI from the PC set the time and/or date
to an incorrect value e.g. change the year to 1960. This is for
the test of the time synchronisation later. Then start the HMI.
b) Start the RE.316*4 and load a set file from the HMI. The set
file must at least include the Distance function and the
IEC60870-5-103 function. Make sure the baudrate and the
slave address are correct and that the initiating event is set
for event recording (ER).
c) Connect the optical fibres from the 316BM61b to the control
system.
d) Wait until the RE.316*4 has started and the link is initialised,
this takes approximately 1 minute and is signalled on the
HMI with the event „initiating“.
e) The control system is now able to establish the link connec-
tion. Check in the control system that the RE.316*4 is com-
municating and that the identification string is correct.
f) The control system will normally as a first action try to syn-
chronise the RE.316*4. Select the display of the CT and VT
inputs in “Measurement Values” on the HMI. Check that the
time is changed from the incorrect time set under point a) to
the time used in the control system.
g) Turn off the power to the RE.316*4 for at least 10 seconds
and then turn it on again. Wait until the communication is es-
tablished again, see under d).
h) When the communication is established the control system
must have registered a cold start from the RE.316*4.
i) Press the button on the front until the green led blinks i.e. the
RE.316*4 performs a restart. Wait until the communication is
established again, see under d).
42
Possible problems and solutions.

• The initialisation is not yet finished. Wait until you see the ini-
tiating event on the HMI.
• The optical fibres are not connected properly. Check the con-
nections at either end.
• The optical fibres or connectors are damaged. Try with other
optical fibres.
• There are no functions loaded in the RE.316*4 or the
IEC60870-5-103 function is missing. Check that at least the
Distance and IEC60870-5-103 functions are loaded.
• There are other problems in the software or hardware. Check
the diagnostics of the RE.316*4, see [2].
6.3. Signals test

All signals described above (public as well as generic but except
the group warning and the group error) can be tested with injec-
tion tests.
a) Connect an injection test system e.g. XS92b to the RE.316*4.
b) Connect the HMI to the RE.316*4 and make sure the correct
set file is loaded.
c) Make sure that the optical fibrers are connected and that the
connection with the control system is working.
Test all signals and measurands configured. Below is a list of
the signals with a comment on how to test them. Compare all
events displayed on the HMI with the events received by the
control system. Compare the measurands displayed on the
HMI with the measurands received by the control system.
