Differential protection
with communication through data net
l Microsecond exact time keeping in the relays
n Each relay has its individual time keeping
n Sent and received telegrams get microsecond accurate time stamps
l Special relay properties for network communication
Measurement of propagation times and automatic correction 0 -30 ms
Detection of channel switching in the network
Unique address for each relay (1 -65525)
to detect signal misdirection (channel cross-over of loop-back)
Measurement of channel quality (availability, error rate)
l Change of the network path -> Adaptive add-on stabilisation
Settable time difference to consider given data transmission asymmetry
l Adaptive topology recognition
Automatic recognition of connections and remote end devices
Automatic re-routing from ring to chain topology if one data connection fails
In case of multi-terminal protection, remaining relay system continues operation
if one line end is switched off and the relay is logged out for maintenance
