Chapter 4) 7SR17 Rho - Data Communications 4. MODBUS Definitions 4.1 Introduction This section describes the MODBUS-RTU protocol implementation in the relays. This protocol is used for communication with a suitable control system. This protocol can be set to use any or all of the relays hardware interfaces (USB, Fibre Optic, RS232 and RS485).

Chapter 4) 7SR17 Rho - Data Communications 4.2 MODBUS Register Data Types 4.2.1 FLOAT_IEEE_754 The float data type conforms to the IEEE 754 floating point definition. This specifies that 32 bits of data will be 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).
Chapter 4) 7SR17 Rho - Data Communications Address Value 30001 4974 30002 2400 On reception these two registers should be interpreted in the correct order as IEEE754 floating point representation. 4.2.2 FP_32BITS_3DP The FP_32BITS_3DP is a 32 bit integer fixed point value, containing 3 decimal places of information. It is used to send a real value to 3 decimal places as an integer.
Chapter 4) 7SR17 Rho - Data Communications Address Value 30001 162E On reception this register should be interpreted as a 16 bit integer. Truncation Calculations are performed as 32 bit. The 16 bit value is the lowest 16 bits of the 32 bit value.

A suitable Modem can be connected directly to the Relay's RS232, RS485 or to fibre-optic port. An additional interface, for example a Sigma unit, may be required to connect to the fibre-optic port.

Chapter 4) 7SR17 Rho - Data Communications Where a “dial-up” modem system is installed the settings on the remote modem are fixed so the local modem should negotiate with it on connection, choosing suitable matching settings. Where this is not possible the local modem should be set with settings equivalent to those of the remote modem as described above.

Three phase induction motors are employed for all general purposes, typically in fixed speed applications to drive machinery, pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, hoists etc.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide Section 2: Protection Functions This section provides guidance on the application and recommended settings of the 7SR17 protection functions. Motor faults can be divided into two categories – system faults affecting plant up to the motor terminals and faults within the motor.

Page 316
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide Gn49 TauC Cooling Constant After an overload trip or when the motor is switched off the rotor slows until it stops. During the run-down and standstill states the motor will cool down but as the rotor does not produce forced cooling the thermal time constant will be different from the running state.

Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide Gn 49 Load Alarm An alarm is provided to indicate load currents above a user set value. High levels of load current may be indicative of bearing wear e.g. due to excessive vibration or loss of lubrication. The supply to the motor can be removed before further damage occurs.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide 2.1.2 Stall Protection (14) Figure 2-5 Thermal Overload Protection The motor will stall when the load torque exceeds the breakdown torque. The motor will draw a stall current equal to or approaching locked rotor current. The thermal overload protection may provide protection against stalling during running and starting, however, where this is not possible then the additional dedicated stall protection functions can be used.

Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide 2.1.3 Start Protection (66) During a start higher current will be drawn from the supply and will cause higher temperatures to be generated within the motor.

Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide Stall Protection The fundamentals of this protection feature are explained in section 2.1.2. In the example being considered the run-up time is 4 seconds and the safe stall time is 11 seconds. In this case the thermal characteristic gives sufficient protection for normal starting and a stalled motor condition can be detected by current/time grading.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide – U (37) URRENT ROTECTION OSS OF LOAD NDERCURRENT Undercurrent elements are used to indicate that current has ceased to flow or that a low load situation exists. Definite Time Lag (DTL) elements are used. Loss of Load protection is applied to detect: Loss of pump flow e.g.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide (50G/50N) ARTH FAULT ROTECTION Earth fault current levels will be limited by the earth fault impedance the motor and associated plant. It may be difficult to make an effective short circuit to earth due to the nature of the installation and/or system earthing method and the earth fault current may therefore be limited to very low levels.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide (87REF) MPEDANCE ESTRICTED ARTH AULT ROTECTION Restricted Earth Fault (REF) protection is applied to motors to detect low level earth faults in the stator windings. Current transformers are located as shown in Figure 2.6-1. During normal operation no current will flow in the relay element.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide (27/59) OLTAGE ROTECTION 2.7.1 Under Voltage Power system under-voltages may last for only a few cycles or continue on a steady-state basis, they can occur due to system faults, an increase in system loading or loss of supply e.g. loss of an incoming transformer.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide 2.10 OWER ROTECTION 2.10.1 Power (32) An under power element protects against a loss of load condition by measuring the real power flow to the motor in the running condition. This provides an alternative to under current measurement as load loss may result in only a small change in current (see section 2.3).

Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide Section 4: Supervision and Monitoring Functions (50BCL) REAKING APACITY IMIT Motors are generally controlled by three methods: Larger rated motors typically at 3.3kV or 11kV use circuit breakers, Medium to smaller rated motors use MCCB’s or fused contactors.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide (60VTS) OLTAGE RANSFORMER UPERVISION Voltage Transformers (VTs) rarely fail, however, VT Supervision is commonly applied because the fuses connected in series with the VTs may fail. When a VT failure occurs on one or two phases, the voltage levels seen by the protection become unbalanced. A large level of NPS voltage is therefore detected - around 0.3 x Vn for one or two VT failures.
Chapter 7) 7SR17 Rho Applications Guide (74TCS) IRCUIT UPERVISION Binary Inputs may be used to monitor the integrity of the CB trip circuit wiring. A small current flows through the B.I. and the trip circuit. This current operates the B.I. confirming the integrity of the auxiliary supply, CB trip coil, auxiliary switch, C.B.
