Monitoring & Diagnostics

The N60 includes high accuracy metering and recording for all AC signals. Voltage, current, and power metering are built into the relay as a standard feature. Current and voltage parameters are available as total RMS magnitude, and as fundamental frequency magnitude and angle.

FlexLogic is the powerful UR-platform programming logic engine that provides the ability to create customized protection and control schemes based on information measured locally by the N60 and received from remote N60s sent to it over the communications network. With FlexLogic, the N60 can use the status of measured inputs, along with the output of the protection elements, FlexElements and FlexMath summators, in Boolean logic equations to perform automated functions for customized special protection schemes.

• Three independent 100Mbps Ethernet ports enable purpose specific LAN support that eliminates latency effect of heavy traffic protocols on mission critical communication services
• Embedded IEEE 1588 time-synch protocol support eliminates dedicated IRIG-B wiring requirements for IEDs
• Direct I/O secures high-speed exchange of binary data between URs
• Increase network availability by reducing failover time to zero through IEC62439-3 PRP, HSR or dual HSR support

Advanced Communications

The N60 provides advanced communications technologies for remote data and engineering access, making it the easiest and most flexible Motor protection relay to use and integrate into new and existing infrastructures. Direct support for fiber optic Ethernet provides high-bandwidth communications allowing for low-latency controls and high-speed file transfers of relay fault and event record information. The available three independent and redundant Ethernet options provide the means to create fault tolerant communication architectures in an easy, cost-effective manner.
The N60 supports the most popular industry standard protocols enabling easy, direct integration into DCS and SCADA systems.

Key benefits:

The Configuration tool SCE is defined to handle all system structured data and to generate databases loaded on DS Agile System main equipment:

• DS Agile aView, the system HMIs
• DS Agile SMT, the System Management Tool that download databases
• DS Agile Gateway, the separate Tele-control Interface to the SCADA
• DS Agile C26x controllers (Bay Control Units, Protection and Control Units, Remote Terminal Units)

Engineering tool suite

The tool is designed to be used for several system pieces of equipment working together with their exchange communication data, or only one of them. For example, it can generate the database of a DS Agile C26x Standalone RTU.

The DS Agile SCE applications are mainly defined in the Application chapter (AP) of each DS Agile sub-system (DS Agile C26x, DS Agile Gateway). DS Agile aView configuration is described in the DS Agile Blend & Mimic Designer manual (Application chapter for the SCE part).

The Black/Silver front panel is offering a USB connector, the Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers from FTDI Chip manufacturer need to be installed.
