1.3 MII RELAY FAMILY HARDWARE
1.3.1. MOUNTING & WIRING
Please refer to the HARDWARE chapter for detailed relay mounting and wiring instructions. Review all WARNINGS
and CAUTIONS.
1.3.2. COMMUNICATIONS
The MIIPC software can communicate to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port, or the rear panel RS485 port. To
communicate with the relay via the RS232 port, a standard “straight through” serial cable is used. The DB9 male end
is connected to the relay and the DB9 or DB25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as described
in the HARDWARE chapter.
To communicate with the relay’s RS485 port from a computer’s RS232 port, a RS232/RS485 converter box is
required. GE Multilin offers F485, DAC300 and RS232/485 converters. This converter box is connected to the
computer using a “straight through” serial cable. A shielded twisted pair (20, 22 or 24 AWG; 0.25, 0.34 or 0.5 mm2)
cable is used to connect the converter box to the relay rear communication terminals. The converter box (-, +, GND)
terminals are connected to the relay (SDA, SDB, GND) terminals respectively. For long communication cables (longer
than 1 km), the RS485 circuit must be terminated in a RC network (i.e. 120 ohm, 1 nF) as described in the
HARDWARE chapter.
1.3.3. FACEPLATE KEYPAD & DISPLAY
Display messages are organized into menus under the main headings: Actual Values, Main Settings, Advanced
Settings, Operations and Change Date&Time. A 5-key keypad and a 16x2 character LCD display (shown below) are
used as elementary local HMI.
Figure 1-1 MIF II KEYPAD AND DISPLAY

2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
The MIF II Feeder Protection relay is a microprocessor-based relay designed for the following applications:
Main Protection for Medium and Low voltage feeders.
Main Protection for Medium size Motors.
Main Protection for Medium and Low power Transformers (less than 10MVA).
Differential Protection for Motors, if a CT differential connection is available.
Backup Protection for power Transformers (for any power level).
Backup Protection for Generators.
Backup Protection for Transmission lines.
Backup Protection for substation busbars.
Thermal Image Protection/Supervision for Cables, Power Transformers, Grounding Resistors and Generation
Elements.
Negligible over-travel and a high dropout to pick-up ratio (97% typical), along with the possibility of adjusting a time
delay for the instantaneous elements, allow optimal co-ordination without compromising selectivity.
Both front RS232 port and rear RS485 port may be used to connect a PC for programming settings, monitoring actual
values and for retrieving stored information (list of events, oscillography, etc.). All serial ports use the Modbus® RTU
protocol and may be connected to system computers with baud rates from 300, 600, 1200, 4800, 9600 and 19200
bps. The rear RS485 port can be converted into an RS232 port or into a fiber optic (plastic or glass) serial port by
using GE Multilin DAC300, F485 or RS232/485 module, or any other standard converter. The MIIPC communication
software is the Windows® based program used to communicate with the relay. A password system has been
implemented to restrict setting changes to non-authorized users, both by relay keypad and PC software.
The MIF II uses flash memory technology, which allows field upgrades (through MIIPC software) as new features are
added. Upgrades can only be performed through the communications port on the front of the unit.
The following one line (single line) diagram (figure 2-1) illustrates the relay functionality using ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) device numbers.

2.3 ACCESS SECURITY FEATURES

The MIF II has several security features to restrict rear port operation when an operator is making changes by the
local port or relay keypad, and/or to block access to setting changes for non-authorized users.
The relay has an access priority system, giving priority to local access over remote access. The access mode is
Local either when the relay display is inside MAIN SETTINGS, ADVANCED SETTINGS or OPERATIONS menu, or
when the front port (RS232) communication is established. When the access is local by the RS232 port, the back port
is disabled and the relay will not serve any petition or command sent by the rear port. When the access is local by
keypad, the back port is not disabled, and actual values can be read, but setting changes and operations will not be
allowed by the back port.
The setting changes, either by keypad and display or by communications, are password protected: the user has to
enter a password to change any setting. When the password is entered, the password protection is disabled and the
user can change any setting freely. Thirty minutes after the last setting change performed, or when the ESC/RESET
key is pressed for three seconds or more, the relay returns automatically to the password protected status and will
ask for the password again if a new attempt to change settings is made.

2.4 OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS
2.4.1. PHASE TIME OVERCURRENT UNIT (51P)
A Phase Time Overcurrent unit is provided in the MIF II. The relay has the following 4 time–current operation
characteristics: Definite Time, Inverse Curve, Very Inverse Curve and Extremely Inverse Curve. One group of curves
complies with the criteria specified in the IEC255-4 Standard and British Standard BS142, while another group
complies with ANSI C37.90 standards (depending on the model ordered; see ordering codes for details). A time dial
can be applied to any of these curves to optimize co-ordination with other devices in the net. Additionally, there is a
possibility to define a User’s Curve, which can be used for both three-phase overcurrent and ground elements.
The general formula for IEC/BS142 curves is as follows:
A* D
T= + B*D + K
V P −Q
Where:
A P Q B K
Inverse (IEC Curve A) 0.14 0.02 1 0 0
Very Inverse (IEC Curve B) 13.5 1 1 0 0
Extremely Inverse (IEC Curve C) 80 2 1 0 0
D =Time Dial setting (set in the relay by user).

V = I / Ipickup setting > 1.05
The general formula for all ANSI curves is as follows:
⎡ B D E ⎤
T = M * ⎢A + + + ⎥
⎣ (V − C ) (V − C ) 2
(V − C ) 3
⎦
Where:
CURVE NAME A B C D E
Extremely Inverse 0.0399 0.2294 0.5000 3.0094 0.7222
Very Inverse 0.0615 0.7989 0.3400 -0.2840 4.0505
Inverse 0.0274 2.2614 0.3000 -4.1899 9.1272
M =Time Dial setting (set in the relay by user).


The general formula for the user’s curve is as follows:
A* D
T= + B*D + K
V P −Q
Where:
PARAMETERS A B P Q K
Range 0 – 125 0-3 0-3 0-2 0-1.999
Step 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001
Unit Sec. Sec. NA NA Sec.
Default value 0.05 0 0.04 1 0
D = Time Dial setting (set in the relay by user).

I = Input Current
T = Operate Time (sec)
A, P, Q, B, K = Constants defined in the standard, as follows:
The settings available for the phase time overcurrent unit allows the user to: enable/disable the unit; set the pickup
value (between 0.1 – 2.4 times the rated current in case of 1/5 A ground, or 0.005-0.12 A in case of sensitive ground)
and set the current/time operating characteristic (type and time dial).
Note: The relay will use either IEC or ANSI curves, depending on the model.
2.4.2. PHASE INSTANTANEOUS OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS (50P1, 50P2)
The MIF II provides 2 phase instantaneous overcurrent elements, 50P1 (‘H’ for high pickup) and 50P2 (‘L’ for low
pickup). Each one can be enabled/disabled and set independently. The settings from these elements allow setting the
pickup value from 0.1 to 30 times the rated current, and the time delay from 0.00 to 600.00 seconds.
2.4.3. GROUND TIME OVERCURRENT ELEMENT (51G)
The Ground Time Overcurrent element offers the same setting possibilities as the Phase Time Overcurrent element.
The ground current can be obtained from a residual connection on the CTs. For a more sensitive ground current
detection, a window type (zero sequence) CT, taking the three phases inside its windows can be used. Refer to figure
3-6 for more details.

2.4.4. GROUND INSTANTANEOUS OVERCURRENT ELEMENTS (50G1, 50G2)
The MIF II relay provides 2 Ground Instantaneous Overcurrent Elements, 50G1 (‘1’ for High pickup) and 50G2 (‘2’ for
Low pickup). The settings and ranges available for these elements are the same ones described for the Phase
Instantaneous Overcurrent Elements, 50P1 and 50P2.
2.5 THERMAL IMAGE ELEMENT

A Thermal Image Element is included among the relay functions. This unit provides protection against overheating
due to overloading conditions. The operating time curve is set from the time curve family, as a function of the time
constant τ1 (settable between 3 and 600 minutes). The cooling time constant τ2 can be set between 1 and 6 times
the heating time constant τ1. Refer to Annex 1 for a detailed explanation on the operating principles of this element.
2.6 RECLOSER ELEMENT

2.6.1. INTRODUCTION
The MIF II autorecloser allows producing up to four selectable reclosure ‘shots’ prior to locking out. Thanks to the use
of masks, the user can choose which conditions will produce the reclose initiation and what protection functions will
be enabled in each recloser shot. This allows implementing protection schemes that would require special wiring and
functions in conventional equipment.
As an example of application, the user may want the first protection trip to be for instantaneous overcurrent, and the
next trip to be timed over current, in order to allow a time for output fuses to burn of a feeder branch. For this
purpose, it is necessary to disable the IOC element after the first shot.
The reclose initiation can be started by a trip or from the physical input AR INITIATE. There are settings for selecting
which protection function and/or if physical input will initiate the autorecloser.
Also, settings are available for selecting which protection functions will be enabled after every autorecloser shot.

2.6.2. RECLOSER STATUSES

RECLOSE ENABLED
The reclosure scheme is considered to be enabled when all of the following conditions are true:
- The “AR FUNCTION” is set to ENABLED.
- The scheme is not in the LOCKOUT state.
- The “BLOCK” input is not asserted.
RECLOSE INITIATION
The autoreclose scheme is initiated by an enabled trip signal or physical input AR INITIATE. The scheme is initiated
provided the circuit breaker is in the closed state before protection operation and RESET LOCKOUT DELAY timer
times out.
RECLOSE IN PROGRESS (RIP)

RIP is set when a reclosing cycle begins following a reclose initiate signal. Once the cycle is successfully initiated, the
RIP will seal-in and the scheme will continue through its sequence until one of the following conditions is satisfied:
- The close signal is issued when the AR DEAD TIME timer times out.
- The scheme goes to lockout.
While RIP is active, the scheme checks that the breaker is open and the shot number is below the limit, and the being
measuring the AR DEAD TIME.
Each of the four possible shots has an independently settable dead time: AR DEAD TIME 1 ... AR DEAD TIME 4.
LOCKOUT
Scheme lockout blocks all phases of the reclosing cycle, preventing automatic reclosure, if any of the following
occurs:
- The maximum shot number was reached.
- The incomplete sequence AR INCOM. SEQ TIME timer times out.
The recloser will be latched in the LOCKOUT state until the breaker has been closed and stay closed for the reset
lockout time AR RESET LO DELAY.
CLOSE
After the dead time elapses, the scheme issues the close signal. The close signal is latched until the breaker closes
of the scheme goes to LOCKOUT.

2.6.3. RECLOSER SETTINGS
AR FUNCTION: the recloser may operate only if it is ENABLED. If DISABLED the recloser will be Out of Service.
AR MAX SHOTS: specifies the number of reclosures that can be attempted before recloser goes to LOCKOUT
status, because the fault is permanent.
AR DEAD TIME 1 ... 4: these are the intentional delays before first, second, third and fourth breaker automatic
reclosures.
AR RESET LO DELAY: this setting establishes how long the breaker should stay closed after a manual close
command, in order for the autorecloser to reset from LOCKOUT.
AR INCOM. SEQ TIME: this timer is used to set the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose shot. It is
started whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active when the scheme is in the RECLOSE IN PROGRESS state. If
all conditions allowing a breaker closure are not satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to LOCKOUT.
AR RST TIME: a reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The setting is
based on the breaker “reclaim time” which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.
Autoreclose initiation masks: used to select which events will initiate the autorecloser scheme.
After 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th trip masks: used to select which function will be enabled to trip.

2.7 COLD LOAD PICKUP (AVAILABLE ONLY IN OPTION 2 MODELS)

This element avoids undesired operation of the overcurrent elements in case of high currents produced when
energizing a line that has been open for a long period of time.
This element detects when the current values of the three phases are lower than 4% of the rated current (In). In this
moment, a timer (T IN) is started.
If the currents return to values above 4% In before the timer has timed out, the unit returns to its original status.
When the timer has timed out, the tap settings of the instantaneous phase elements (50P1 and 50P2) are multiplied
by a constant K50P, and the phase TOC (51P) tap settings are multiplied by a constant K51P. A status signal turns
on indicating that the Cold Load Pickup is enabled, and the corresponding event is generated.
For exiting the CLP status, when the current values of the three phases are above 8% In, a T OUT timer is started.
If the current values fall below 8%In before the timer countdown has finished, the unit remains in CLP status.
If the timeout finishes and current values are still above 8%In, the CLP status is disabled and the relay returns to its
original settings. The CLP status signal is deactivated, and the corresponding event is generated.
The T IN and T OUT timer values, as well as the multiplying constants K50P and K51P, and the function permission
are settings associated to the COLD LOAD PICKUP. These settings are included in the ADVANCED SETTINGS
group. They will be described in detail in the SETTINGS section.

2.8 BREAKER FAILURE TO OPEN (AVAILABLE ONLY IN OPTION 2 MODELS)

This element produces an alarm if the breaker does not open after a tripping command.
This element can be enabled independently from having an input that indicates the breaker status:
If a breaker status input is enabled:

After a trip, the following conditions are checked:
1. If the breaker is closed, the BREAKER FAILURE function is started.
2. If the breaker is open, the unit checks the current. If the highest current is over 8% of the rated current, the
BREAKER FAILURE function is started.
After the BREAKER FAILURE pickup, a timer is started. When the timer countdown finishes, if the function is not
disabled, the FAILURE TO OPEN status signal is activated, and the corresponding event is generated.
The Breaker Failure to Open signal is reset when the breaker is open and there is no current.
If a breaker status input is not enabled:

After a trip, the unit checks whether the highest current value is over 8% of the rated current. In this case, a timer is
started. When the timer countdown finishes, if the current value has not fallen below 4% of the rated current, the
FAILURE TO OPEN status signal is activated, and the corresponding event is generated.
The Breaker Failure to Open signal is reset when the current value, of at least one phase, rises above 8% of the
rated current after all of the phase currents have fallen below 4% of it.
The settings associated to BREAKER FAILURE TO OPEN are the function permission and the timer value. They are
included in the ADVANCED SETTINGS group. They will be described in the SETTINGS section.
2.9 I2 COUNTER (AVAILABLE ONLY IN OPTION 2 MODELS)

This counter is intended for breaker maintenance. It accumulates the breaker ageing produced by a trip or a breaker
opening. In order to incorporate the breaker history, in the case of second-hand breakers, the system allows
assigning an initial value to the accumulated Amps and to the number of opening operations.
There is one I2 counter for the three phases, where every time a trip or a breaker opening is produced, the counter
value is increased (in secondary value). If the tripping current is lower than the rated current, the accumulated value
will be the rated current.
When the counter reaches or exceeds a limit value (setting), an I2 ALARM signal will be produced in the unit status,
and the corresponding event will be generated.
There is also a Breaker Opening counter available, for informational purposes only.
The I2 counter, and the number of openings counter are stored in capacitor backed up RAM memory.
The setting associated to the I2 COUNTER is the limit value of the counter that will produce the I2t ALARM. This
setting is included in the ADVANCED SETTINGS group, and is described in detail in the SETTINGS section.
Both the I2 and the Number of Openings counters can receive an operation command to modify their contents. From
the MIIPC program, a valid value can be set for any of these two counters. The valid range for the I2 counter is from
0.000 to 999.000, and for the “Number of Openings” counter it is from 0 to 999.
From the keypad and display it is only possible to set both fields to zero.

2.10 EVENTS (AVAILABLE IN OPTION 1 AND OPTION 2 MODELS)

The MIF II stores a historical record with the last 32 events. Each event contains the event description, date and time
(4 ms accuracy), the current values in phases and ground at that moment, and a summary of the status signals that
can produce events, and whether they were active or not in that moment.
In the MIIPC there is an “EVENTS” menu, where the user can check how many events have been produced since the
last time the Events were deleted. If this number is higher than 32 (maximum number of events stored), this means
that only the last 32 will be stored.
This event record is stored in a capacitor backed up RAM memory.
Events functionality in the MIF II is enable via the MIIPC software.
Inside the ADVANCED SETTINGS group, there is a sub-group called EVENT MASKS, from where the different
causes that can produce events can be masked. They are detailed in the SETPOINT – SETPOINT – ADVANCED
SETTINGS – EVENT MASK section.

Protection functions: 50P1, 50P2, 50G1, 50G2, 51P, 51G, 49, general

There are four possible causes that can produce an oscillography trigger:
Pickup of one of the protection functions
Trip of one of the protection functions
Oscillography trigger by communications
Oscillography trigger by digital input
In the ADVANCED SETTINGS group, there is a sub-group called OSCILLOGRAPHY MASKS, from where the above-
mentioned causes can be masked. They are detailed in the SETPOINT – SETPOINT – ADVANCED SETTINGS –
OSCILOGRAPHY MASK section
2.12 MULTIPLE SETTING GROUPS

Two independent Setting Groups are available in the permanent (non-volatile) memory of the MIF II relay. Only one
of the two is active at a given time. Users can select which setting group is active using a setting, sending a
command to the relay from the communications program, or by a digital input in OPTION 1 and OPTION 2 models.
Settings are divided in two different categories: Main Settings and Advanced Settings. This makes setting the relay
extremely simple for those users who want to use just the Main functions of the MIF II relay. Users who require the
full functionality of the relay can use the Advanced Settings.
2.13 MEASUREMENT AND SELF-TEST
Measurement
The MIF II provides actual values for phase and ground currents and for the Thermal Image. The accuracy is 1% of
injected current at rated current, and 3% of injected current in the complete range.
Self-Test
The self-monitoring tests are carried out both when the unit is started up and during normal operation. Any internal
problem detected by the self-monitoring function will issue an alarm and the READY output contact will change state,
meaning that a critical failure has occurred.
2.14 USER INTERFACE
LED Targets
There are 6 LED Targets in the front of the MIF II. The first one is green (‘READY’ -relay in service-) and cannot be
configured; the second one is red and fixed for trip, while the other 4 can be configured by the user in OPTION1 and
OPTION2 models. The default configuration of the LEDs is shown in figure 2.2.
FIGURE 2-5 MIF II LEDs DEFAULT CONFIGURATION

It is possible to configure the color of the 4 configurable LEDs between red and green using the keypad of the front
panel of the relay (for details, refer to Chapter 8).
The indication of each LED is as follows:

READY: The relay is powered up, its power supply is receiving Vdc or Vac, and all the internal circuits are working
properly. The relay status setting is set as “RDY” (ready) and at least one of the protection functions is enabled. If
the LED is off with the above-mentioned conditions, this indicates a loss of auxiliary supply voltage or an internal
HW/SW critical failure condition.
TRIP: The relay has issued a trip, activating the corresponding tripping output contact.
PHASE: Indicates that the trip has been issued by one of the Phase Overcurrent Elements (51P, 50P1, 50P2).
GROUND: Indicates that the trip has been issued by one of the Ground Overcurrent Elements (51G, 50G1, 50G2).
INST: Indicates that the trip has been issued by one of the Instantaneous Elements, either phase or ground elements
(50P1, 50P2, 50G1, 50G2).
PICKUP: Indicates that at least one of the protective elements has picked up.
LEDs associated to tripping functions are latched and once they have been turned on, they remain on until the
ESC/RESET button is pressed for more than 3 seconds (RESET) providing that the trip condition has disappeared.
The LED associated to function pickup is self-reset type, and stays on while the pickup condition (current above
setting) exists.
Keypad and Display

A five-button keypad allows access to MIF II relay information and settings changes. Measurement data (actual
values), five last trip information (fault reports) and settings are shown on the 16x2 character LCD display.
The keypad includes the functionality to modify the contrast of the display (refer to Chapter 8 for details).
The event list, oscillography, I/O and logic configuration can be accessed only from the MIIPC program.
Communication Ports
The front RS232 and the rear RS485 port provide interface with the relay. All serial ports use the Modbus® RTU
protocol and may be connected to system computers with baud rates from 300 to 19200 bps. Up to 32 MIF II relays
can be connected (daisy-chained) on the same communication circuit. Each relay must be assigned a different
Modbus Address (using a setting) if multiple relays are connected on the same circuit.
Software
MIF II units are supplied together with MIIPC software, a Windows® based software that allows communication with
the relay for data viewing and retrieval, as well as oscillography, I/O configuration and logical configuration (in models
where these features are available).

2.15 MODEL LIST. ORDER CODES
The MIF II is supplied as 4U high and ¼ of a 19” rack wide. The MIF II relays can be mounted in ¼ rack cases, one

3. HARDWARE
3. HARDWARE
3.1 DESCRIPTION
The MIF II units are made up of different modules, such as:

CPU, which includes the power supply, inputs and outputs.
Magnetic module with 4 current transformers (3 for phases and 1 for ground)
Front module with 16x2 LCD display. It also includes the front RS232 communication port.
FIGURE 3-1. FRONT VIEW
3.1.1. MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The metallic case of the unit is highly resistant to corrosion. It is made of stainless steel (AISI 304), coated with an
epoxy layer, and the rest of the metallic pieces are covered with a high quality resistive coating that has successfully
passed at least 96 hours in the salt spray chamber (S/N ASTM B-117).
The front of the relay is made of a shielded high quality thermoplastic, flame retardant (V0), highly resistive material,
which guarantees the unit’s immunity to all types of EMI/RFI/ESD interference. As well, an IP52 (IEC 529)
protection degree against dust and water through the front and with the relay mounted in the panel.
The modular design of the relay simplifies repair or replacement of its components, without the need to manipulate
the wiring. These types of operations must be performed exclusively by qualified personnel and only after removing
auxiliary voltage from the unit.

3. HARDWARE
3.1.2. MOUNTING
The unit is designed for semi-flush mounting. The relay is secured to the panel with the 4 M6 screws provided with
the unit. This allows the user access to the front keypad, display and communication port. The wiring is at the rear
of the unit. The drilling dimensions are shown on the drilling dimension diagram.
Note: Dimensions are shown in inches (mm).
FIGURE 3-2. MOUNTING AND DIMENSIONS DRAWING FOR MIF II MODELS WITH DEPTH REDUCING
COLLAR

3. HARDWARE
3.1.3. REAR DESCRIPTION
The relay is wired through the terminal blocks located at the rear of the unit. In this terminal board, current terminals
are shorted two-by-two when the transformer module is extracted, so that the CT secondary never remains open. The
maximum recommended cable section for this terminal board, with the appropriate terminal, is 6 mm2 (AWG 10)
FIGURE 3-3. REAR VIEW
The magnetic module with the CTs is already connected to a female connector screwed to the case that incorporates
shorting bars in the current inputs, so that it can be extracted without the need to short-circuit the current externally.
A grounded antistatic wristband must be used when manipulating the module in order to avoid electrostatic
discharges that may cause damage to the electronic components.
In a similar way, when mounting and dismounting the front of the unit, be sure to correctly align the DIN connector
of the rear bus with the DIN connectors of the module. A slow and careful insertion must be made until the module
is correctly aligned, and then a more firm insertion can be applied, never forcing the module.

FIGURE 3-7 CONTACT INPUTS CONNECTIONS
Wet contacts must be connected to the inputs of the MIF II. A wet contact has one side connected to the positive
terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact is connected to the required contact input
terminal (A8 or A9). In addition, the negative side of the external source must be connected to the relay common
(negative) terminal (A10). The maximum external voltage source voltage for this arrangement is 300 Vdc.
The voltage threshold at which an input will detect a closed contact input depends on the relay model. For low voltage
range relays (F model), the threshold is set to 12 Vdc. For high voltage range relays (H model), the voltage threshold
is 75 Vdc.
In case of using AC voltage, it must be ensured that there is no voltage (less than 10 Vac) between the input common
terminal, A10, and the ground terminal. The AC system must be line/neutral type, and not line/line, ensuring that the
neutral and ground do not differ in more than 10 Vac. The reason for this is that there might be enough current
circulating through the EMC filtering capacitors on these inputs to cause undesired activation.
If it is not possible to ensure the previous conditions, the connection shown below can be used, where lines are wired
only to inputs (A8 and A9), and the common (A10) is connected to the unit ground terminal.

All output relays are form C relays. Only one of the two states of the form C relay is connected to the MIF II output
terminal. For each output relay it is possible to select which state is preferred to have at the MIF II terminals, NC
(normally closed) or NO (normally open).

3.2.6. RS232 FRONT COMMUNICATIONS PORT
A 9-pin RS232C serial port is located on the front of the relay for programming with a portable (personal) computer.
All that is required to use this interface is a personal computer running the MIIPC software. Figure 3-9 shows the
communications cable configuration.
FIGURE 3-9 RS232 FRONT PORT CONNECTION

3. HARDWARE
WARNING: IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGE BOTH TO THE PC SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS PORT AND THE
RELAY FRONT RS232 PORT, IT IS COMPULSORY TO CONNECT THE RELAY GROUND TO THE SAME
GROUND AS THE PC. OTHERWISE, USE AN UNGROUNDED COMPUTER.
FOR THIS PURPOSE, PLEASE FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
3.2.6.1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The ground screw shown in the following figure must be correctly grounded.
Grounding
screw
FIGURE 3-10. GROUNDING SCREW LOCATION
If you want to communicate with the relay using a computer through the front serial port, please ensure that the
computer is grounded to the same ground as the relay.
In the case of using a portable computer, it is recommended to not have it connected to its power supply, as in
many cases they are not correctly grounded either due to the power supply itself or to the connector cables used.
Powering the portable PC with its internal battery drastically decreases the possibility of producing permanent
damage to the computer or the relay. Beware of the possibility of losing communication in firmware change
processes
This is required not only for personal protection, but also for avoiding a voltage difference between the relay
serial port and the computer port, which could produce permanent damage to the computer or the relay.
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage in the relay or connected equipment whenever this
elemental safety rule is not followed.
In case of a firmware flashing process, due to the risk of losing communication, GE Multilin will not be
responsible in case of a communication failure if the relay and PC are not grounded to the same point.

3. HARDWARE
3.2.7. RS485 COMMUNICATIONS PORT
In addition to the front RS232 port, the relay provides the user with an additional RS485 communication port. RS485
data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair that transmit and receive data alternating
over the same two wires. Through the use of these port, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system or PLC is possible.
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. For a correct operation, polarity
must be respected, although if it is not, there is no danger to damage the unit. For instance, the relays must be
connected with all RS485 SDA terminals connected together, and all SDB terminals connected together. The RS485
standard refers only to terminals named “A” and “B”, although many devices use terminals named “+” and “-“. As a
general rule, terminals “A” should be connected to terminals “-“, and terminals “B” to “+”. There are exceptions to this
rule, such as the GE ALPS and DDS family of relays. The GND terminal should be connected to the common wire
inside the shield, when provided. Otherwise, it should be connected to the shield. To avoid loop currents, the shield
should be grounded at one point only. Each relay should also be daisy chained to the next one in the link. A
maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For larger systems,
additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to increase the
number of relays on a single channel to more than 32. Do not use other connection configurations different than the
recommended.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of
the communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are provided internally. To ensure maximum
reliability, all equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.

4.1 MIIPC SOFTWARE
4.1.1. OVERVIEW
The MIIPC software package uses only ModBus protocols, and is designed to communicate with a single relay at a
time. GE Multilin offers different communication software packages, such as GE-POWER and enerVista, which can
be used to communicate simultaneously with several relays.
MIIPC software provides an easy way to configure, monitor and manage all MIF II features.
a) Setting files
MIIPC software provides two ways of working with setting files:
1. In off-line mode, disconnected from the relay, creating or editing setting files for a future download to the
relay.
2. Modifying directly the relay settings while connected to the relay.
b) Configuration
The configuration of inputs, outputs and LEDs can be modified, and internal logics with the different relay
elements can be created.
c) All metering values used by the MIF II can be monitored, as well as the internal states, inputs and outputs
status.
d) Performing the different available operations.
e) Firmware updates.
f) Viewing the different records stored in the relay, as events, oscillography, etc.
The simplified use of the software MIIPC is as follows:
Execute MIIPC
Open *.ajs (settings) file Connect to the relay
Modify the settings

of the relay
Save the settings
Send the settings to

the relay

4. COMMUNICATIONS
4.1.2. STARTING COMMUNICATION
Before the physical connection to the relay, it is important that the user reviews the safety instructions detailed in
section 3.2.6. This section explains the importance of connecting both relay ground terminal and computer to a good
grounding. Otherwise, communication may not be possible, or the relay and/or the computer could be damaged.
To work online, the relay communication parameters (e.g. baud rate, relay address and password) must match the
parameters in the computer.
The computer parameters can be modified, in the Communication – Computer menu. Refer to the appropriate section
in this same chapter for more details.

4.3 SETPOINT
Clicking on the Setpoint menu entry gives access to Settings, Configuration, Logic Configuration and Clock.
4.3.1. SETTINGS
The Settings sub-menu is the same for all M family relays, and shows all relay settings divided in two groups: Main
Settings and Advanced Settings. The first settings group has basic settings (main protection functions). The second
settings group includes more advanced settings (double settings group, customized curves, etc.), needed only if more
complex protection schemes are required.
The purpose of this division is to simplify the use of the relay for those users only requiring the basic functionality of
the MIF II relay.
FIGURE 4-6. SETTINGS MENU
Once in the corresponding sub-menu, either Main Settings or Advanced Settings, the procedure to enter and modify
any setting value is the same:
Select the settings group (the function selected in the example is the 51P Function in a MIF II)
Edit the setting double-clicking on the value (for example, 51P Trip).
Modify the value of the setting (see figures 4-8 to 4-10).
Confirm/Accept the modified value.
Store the settings in the relay (if working in Emulation mode, this option stores them on the corresponding file) with
the Store button. If the OK button is pressed without having pressed Store (a window asking confirmation will
appear), the settings of this group will be discarded.

4.3.2. MAIN SETTINGS
4.3.2.1. PRODUCT SETUP

Product Setup includes settings for the power system. The CT ratios will be used for metering only. The measured
current values will be affected by the CT ratios when they are shown on the relay screen or MIIPC. If setting for ratio
is chosen to be 1, the relay will show secondary values. The frequency has to be set correctly (50 or 60 Hz) as this
setting effects the sampling and analog-to-digital conversion process in the relay.
4.3.2.2. GROUP 1 FUNCTION SETTINGS

The MIF II relay provides two independent setting groups. Group 1 is available in the Main Settings group, while
Group 2 can be accessed in the Advanced Settings group. The setting groups can be selected by digital input,
through a communications command or from the MIIPC, or simply selecting it with the relay keypad. The setting that
shows the active group can be found in General Advanced Settings.

4.3.4. RELAY CONFIGURATION
Setpoint – Relay Configuration shows a dialog box to configure digital inputs, contact outputs and front panel
LEDs3, as shown in Figure 4-11.
FIGURE 4-11. RELAY CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Each input, output and LED can be assigned an individual function (status bit) or an OR of a group of functions.
Functions can also be assigned to virtual inputs and outputs, in order to allow greater flexibility when creating
complex logics.
The meaning of the different columns is explained below:
* INPUT/LED/OUTPUT: Designates the respective element
* I/O configuration: the appearance and function of this column can be, depending on the state of the
respective OR checkbox column:
- OR checkbox is not checked: the element consists of a drop down list in which the user can select
the function that will activate the output or LED, or that will be activated by the input
3
Only for relay models with this option available (OPTION 1, OPTION 2 and OPTION 3). Relay models OPTION 0
will have only Factory Default configuration available.

4. COMMUNICATIONS
- OR checkbox is checked: the element consists of a button that will activate a new window (see
figure 4-12) where the user can choose a sum of several functions that will activate the output or
LED, or be activated by the input. These functions are distributed in groups, and only functions in the
same group can be chosen for the same OR gate.
* OR: activates the OR button for the I/O configuration column (see previous point). The window that
appears when the OR button is pressed can be seen in figure 4.12
FIGURE 4-12. OR ASSIGNMENT
* NOT: when NOT checkbox is enabled, the logic is inverted. The element (input, output, LED) will actuate
when the conditions are NOT fulfilled.
* NAME: the user can write an identifying label of up to 4 characters that will get stored to be displayed later
on.
* BLINK (only for LEDs): the selection of BLINK checkbox makes the LED blink (alternatively switch ON and
OFF) instead of being fixed when it is activated.
* MEMORY (only for outputs and LEDs): when MEMORY checkbox is enabled, the respective element will be
latched. If the cause that generated the activation of the output or LED does no longer exist, the element will
remain active until a RESET command is performed.

4. COMMUNICATIONS
4.3.5. LOGIC CONFIGURATION
MIF II relays can execute simple logic schemes that can be programmed from MIIPC. This logic schemes can be
found at Setpoint – Logic Configuration.
When one of the logics is selected, a new window will appear where the user can assign up to 8 inputs to the logic
circuit. Each of these inputs can be a single function or status, as well as a logical union of several statuses.
FIGURE 4-13. LOGIC CONFIGURATION
The way the logic works is illustrated in the diagram at the right of the logic window.
First, depending on the gate, up to 2 or 3 signals (internal flags coming from the status of the relay or from another
logic, or external input signals) can be chosen as sources of each AND gate. The way they are programmed is
similar to the way I/Os are (refer to relay configuration). The device will not take into account entries that are after an
empty one. This means that every entry after the first empty one will be ignored. For example, if L1 IN1 is
programmed but L1 IN2 is left empty, the relay will not take into account L1 IN3 and will directly evaluate L1 IN4. In
the same way, the relay will ignore AND2 if AND1 is not programmed, and will ignore AND3 if AND1 or AND2 are not
programmed.
Then the results from the AND gates are added by an OR gate that will produce the result of the logic.
It is possible to set the pickup and dropout times for output from the OR gate. Example: for picking time of 10s
and a dropout time of 15s, if input of the OR gate changes to 1, this input has to remain for 10s before the result of
the logic changes to 1. If result of the OR gate drops to 0, output will be 1 for 15s and after that time output will be 0.
See Chapter 7 for more details on the logic configuration.

4.3.6. CLOCK
The clock option opens a window with two choices:

* Sending the PC date and time to the unit, this is, synchronizing the PC and the unit.
* Selecting a date and a time and sending it to the relay.
FIGURE 4-14. CLOCK
Once the new date and time have been sent, the user can check in the status graph, or even in the relay itself, that
the new date/time has been correctly entered.

* Relay model number and firmware version.
* Relay internal date and time.
* Actual values of currents (phase and ground).
* Protection function status (pickup / trip for each function).
* Active settings group number.
* Contact inputs and outputs status, and LEDs status.
* Information from the self-test functions of the device.

event (pickup, trip of a certain function, etc.), and a list of the status of all inputs, outputs and functions during the
event.
FIGURE 4-16. EVENTS WINDOW
The retrieved events can be reviewed in this window or also saved to disk (to be opened with MIIPC program) or
exported to CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. This is a standard text table format that can be opened with
most commercially available database or spreadsheet programs such as MS Access or Excel.

4.4.3. WAVEFORM CAPTURE
In the Actual - WAVEFORM CAPTURE option, the user can start the process to retrieve the Oscillography record
stored in the relay. The program will request the path and filename where the file is to be stored, by means of the
following form:

The LEDS RESET option resets both latched LEDs and output contacts.
THERMAL IMAGE RESET

The THERMAL IMAGE RESET option resets the accumulated thermal image value to zero.
ACTIVATE GROUP 1
ACTIVATE GROUP 2
When using ACTIVATE GROUP 1 or 2 options, the user should remember that the necessary conditions for the
READY LED and contact to be active are that the relay status be In Service and that, at least, one protection function
and its trip be enabled. If there is no protection function enabled in the new group (for example if the actual group is
group 1 and there is no function enabled in group 2), when the table switch is performed the READY contact and LED
will change state.
OSCILLOG. TRIGGER
The OSCILLOG. TRIGGER sets trigger to capture an oscillography report. The Oscillo Trigger by comm. must be
enabled in the Oscillography Mask (refer to Setpoints – Advanced Settings). If it is not enabled, the program will
show an error message when the command is performed.
CLOSE BREAKER
For the CLOSE BREAKER operation to be performed, the relay needs to have an input programmed with the
breaker status (either 52a or 52b but not both, see Do’s and Don’ts Chapter for more information) and the breaker
must be open. Otherwise, when the command is issued the program will produce an error and the operation will not
be performed.

4.6.2. TROUBLESHOOTING
The TROUBLESHOOTING option is available only when the PC is communicating with a relay. It is intended to
check the ModBus communication frames between the PC and the relay. In the upper part, the user can read any
readable value from the relay (setpoints, actual values) by entering the desired hexadecimal address5, the type of
data to read (Setpoints, Actual Values), the number of registers (the length of each register is of 2 bytes) and the
format of the data (integer, long, float...), checking the checkbox at the left to make the PC start polling that address
or unchecking it to stop.
In the lower part, data can be sent to writeable addresses of the relay. The working is similar to reading but, to send
the data, the user must press the SEND button.

following three parameters must be clearly indicated in the order:
* Serial number of the unit.
* Current model option (before memory update)
* Desired model option (after memory update).
In a case where more than one unit needs to be updated, all the serial numbers must be detailed, and a different
password will be assigned for each unit.
FIGURE 4-27. PASSWORD
If the update does not require changes to the functionality of the relay, the program will not request a password.
After completing the previous screen, and during the loading process, the following screen will be displayed, showing
the update process status:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The MODBUS® memory map may change for different firmware versions. As a result, the Flash memory update,
when upgrading to a higher model (OPTION 1 or 2), may involve a MODBUS® memory map change. This may result
a critical issue when the relay is integrated in a system, and the user should take into account the modifications that
will have to be performed in the programs that access the MIF II relay memory maps.
Additionally, when a Flash memory update is performed, the loading program will enter the default settings.
This means that the user will need to adapt the settings to the real situation of the protected device. If the user wants
to keep the same settings after the memory update, a copy of the settings should be stored in a file before starting
the update process.

TRACES option is only active when the PC is communicating with the relay. If the communication is not established,
to activate this option the user must switch communication on in Communication – Computer menu.
When TRACES are active, the ModBus communication traces will be displayed in the lower part of the screen, as
shown in figure 4-30:

4.7.2. MODBUS MEMORY MAP
MODBUS MEMORY MAP option is only active when the PC is communicating with the relay. If the communication is
not established, to activate this option the user must switch communication on in Communication – Computer
menu.
With MODBUS MEMORY MAP option the user can extract the complete memory map from the relay and print or
save it in CSV format (to be later opened with any database or spreadsheet program as MS Excel). It is
recommended to use this feature as memory map changes with relay model and firmware version so this is the
safest way of obtaining the appropriate memory map for every single relay.

4.7.3. LANGUAGES
LANGUAGES option is only active when there is no active communication with the relay. If the PC is communicating
with the relay, to activate this option the user must switch communication off in Communication – Computer menu.

5.1 SETTINGS STRUCTURE
All the settings of the MIF II relay, together with the procedures to change their value, are described in this chapter.
First of all, a complete list of settings is shown; including ranges, units, step and factory default value. Then, the
settings requiring more detailed comments are individually explained. In the MIIPC program, the settings are grouped
under the Setpoint menu, Setpoint sub-menu entry.
The MIF II relay provides two settings groups (group 2 is accessible in the ADVANCED SETTINGS group), stored in
EEPROM memory (permanent memory). Using a setting or through a communications command (or through a digital
input in models with OPTION 1 or 2), it is possible to select which group is active, and then used by the relay
protection algorithms.
Settings can be accessed and modified either using the relay faceplate keypad, or using a computer connected to the
relay through any of the relay communications ports, and the MIIPC program. The use of the keypad to modify
settings is described in Chapter 8. If the computer is used to handle the settings, the following steps must be
considered:
Make sure your communication cable matches the scheme shown in figure 3-9.
Connect the communications cable between the relay (or modem) and the computer serial port.
Run the MIIPC program. The procedure to install and use the MIIPC program is described in section 1.2.2.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION and in section 4. COMMUNICATIONS.
Make sure that the communications parameters in the relay match the MIIPC configuration settings (Communication -
Computer Menu). The communications parameters shown in the relay faceplate display, within the configuration
menu are:
Comm Password
Comm Baud Rate
Slave Address
For instructions on how to check and modify MIIPC program communications parameters please refer to Chapter 4.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Check that the relay number and password in the MIF II display match the numbers entered in the dialog window of
the MIIPC, after clicking on Relay Connection.
CT ratio settings allow the user to view the current measures in primary values.
Examples of setting:
Phase Current Transformer: 300/5 Phase CT Ratio Setting: 60
Neutral Current Transformer: 100/1 neutral CT Ratio Setting: 100

5. SETTINGS
COMMENTS ON SETTINGS:
The factory default HMI password to change any setting is 1. See Chapter 8 for details.
The ACTIVE GROUP setting, in the Advanced General Settings, selects which of the two settings groups is active at
a given time. Its default value is 1 (GROUP 1).
The procedure to set the Phase and Ground TOC (Time Delayed Overcurrent) functions (51P / 51N) is the same for
both functions: First, the pickup value must be set (PICKUP); Then, using the CURVE TYPE (current versus time
tripping characteristic curve), the type of time delay preferred is selected, either DEFINITE TIME, or any of the three
inverse curves; If the choice is any of the inverse curves (Inverse, Very Inverse or Extremely Inverse), then the relay
takes into account the TIME DIAL setting, to identify which of the curves in the family must be used (there are 195
different curves for each curve type, depending on the Time Dial Selected); if the curve type selected is DEFINITE
TIME, then the Time Dial setting is ignored and the time delay used is the one specified in DEFINITE TIME setting.
5.4 TIME SYNCHRONIZATION

The MIF II relay includes an internal clock to time tag events. This clock can be either synchronized with the
computer clock or set manually using the MIIPC software program (see Setpoints – Clock). It can also be set to a
given Date and Time using the faceplate keypad (DATE & TIME menu entry).

6. I/O CONFIGURATION
6. I/0 CONFIGURATION
6.1 INPUT CONFIGURATION (ONLY FOR OPTION 1AND OPTION 2)
6.1.1. DESCRIPTION OF INPUTS
The MIF II incorporates 2 digital inputs, which can be configured using the MIIPC software (SETPOINT – RELAY
CONFIGURATION). The default input configuration is as follows:
MODELS WITHOUT RECLOSER MODELS WITH RECLOSER

Input 1 50P1 disabled & 50P2 disabled 52b breaker status
Input 2 50G1 disabled & 50G2 disabled. 50P1 disabled, 50P2 disabled,
50G1 disabled, 50G2 disabled.
All elements not defined as PULSE are LEVEL inputs.

The minimum operation time for a valid PULSE input is over 0.015 seconds.
Inputs can be configured to activate a single element or several elements. Inputs elements are divided in 2 groups
with up to eight elements per group, besides the No definition element. Up to eight elements can be configured to be
activated by the same input, providing that they are all in the same group. Elements belonging to different groups
need to be assigned to different inputs.
In order to configure an input to activate more than one element from the same group, check the OR button, click on
the I/O CONFIGURATION option and in the window that appears select the desired element group, then choose the
desired elements from that group. To invert the element logic (to make it operate when the condition is NOT fulfilled),
select the NOT button. Finally, click the OK button to validate the configuration. See Chapter 4. COMMUNICATIONS,
for further information.
Example: to inhibit the operation of the instantaneous elements with a digital input, an OR gate must be configured
selecting the elements that will be blocked by the input. To do this, check the OR box in the corresponding Input line
(for this case, Input1). Then click on the OR button that appears in the I/O configuration column, select the desired
group (INHIBITIONS BY DIGITAL INPUTS) and click the I/O configuration box for every element that will be blocked
by the input.
Inhibit 50P1
Input 1 Inhibit 50G1
Inhibit 50P2
Inhibit 50G2
Example of input configuration for a single action: To assign a 52b breaker status to a digital input, select Breaker
52b from the I/O configuration dropdown list. The OR button must not be selected.
Input 2 Breaker 52b

6.1.2. INPUT ELEMENTS
The following table shows the list of elements that can be assigned to each input. The table is divided into three
groups:

6.2 OUTPUTS AND LEDS CONFIGURATION (ONLY FOR OPTION 1AND OPTION 2)
6.2.1. DESCRIPTION OF OUTPUTS AND LEDS
The MIF II incorporates 4 configurable outputs and 4 configurable LED indicators, which can only be configured with
MIIPC software (SETPOINT – RELAY CONFIGURATION).
The default configuration for outputs is as follows:
OUTPUT CONFIGURATION MEMORY

Models without recloser Models with recloser
1 Phase trip Close breaker No
2 Ground trip Phase trip No
3 50 trip Ground trip No
4 49 Alarm 50 trip No
The default LED configuration is as follows:
LED CONFIGURATION MEMORY

1 Phase trip Yes
2 Ground trip Yes
3 50 Trip Yes
4 Pickup No
Outputs/LEDs can be configured to be activated by a single element or a sum of several of them. These elements are
divided in eight groups, in addition to the No definition element. Elements belonging to the same group can be
assigned to the same output/LED. Elements of different groups must be assigned to different outputs/LEDs7.
In order to assign several elements to activate an output/LED, check the OR button, click on the
I/O CONFIGURATION frame and in the window that appears select the desired element group, then choose the
desired elements from that group. To invert the element logic (to make it operate when the condition is NOT fulfilled),
select the NOT button. Finally, click on the OK button to validate the configuration. See Chapter 4.
COMMUNICATIONS, for further information.
The output/LED logic can be inverted selecting the general NOT button. Outputs can be latched clicking the
MEMORY button, and LEDs can be set to be blinking selecting the BLINK button.
Example: If a phase trip has to be assigned to an output or LED, the output or LED must be programmed with 50P1
trip, 50P2 trip and 51P trip elements. To do this, check the OR box in the corresponding Output or LED line (for this
case, Output1 and LED1). Then click on the OR button that appears in the I/O configuration column, select the
desired group (ELEMENT TRIPS) and click the I/O configuration box for every element that will be blocked by the
input.

or select them in different logic diagrams (see logic configuration further on in this chapter and in Chapter 4. COMMUNICATIONS) and then choose the logic
diagrams as the elements that will activate the output/LED

50P1 trip
Output1/LED1 = Phase TRIP

50P2 trip
If an output or LED has to activate when the relay is not in local mode, select Local from the I/O configuration
dropdown list. The OR button must not be checked.
Local Output/LED = NOT LOCAL
Elements from different groups cannot be chosen in an OR type logic.
6.2.2. OUTPUTS AND LEDS ELEMENTS
The list of elements that can be assigned to the different outputs and LEDs is divided in the following groups:

A 52a or 52b input must be configured. If there are two inputs configured as 52a and 52b, the relay will not take into account
the input configured as 52a and will act according only to the status of the input configured as 52b.

7. LOGIC CONFIGURATION (ONLY OPTION 2 MODELS)
7.1.1. LOGIC DESCRIPTION
The MIF II incorporates 4 logic diagrams that can be configured independently using the MIIPC software (SETPOINT
– LOGIC CONFIGURATION).
The default logic configuration is the following:
LOGIC CONFIGURATION PICKUP TIMER DROPOUT TIMER

1 S1 = Not defined 0 0
Logic elements are divided in several groups, besides Not defined element. Up to eight signals can be configured in
the same Logic box with the following structure:
S1
S2 1
S3
Tp
2
S4 Td
S5
S6
3
Each signal (S1...S8) has the same configuration structure as the signals in outputs/LEDs.
The configuration for a Logic box can be done in the same way as with outputs/LEDs configuration per signal.
There are two timers, pickup and dropout timers, which can be assigned to each logic box.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Signals must be used in order, starting with S1. If there is need to use more than one signal in the same AND
gate, use S2 first and then S3. If there is need to use another AND gate, use AND 2 first, and then AND3.

The operation of these timers is as follows:

A 52a or 52b input must be configured. If there are two inputs configured as 52a and 52b, the relay will not take into account
the input configured as 52a and will act according only to the status of the input configured as 52b.

8. KEYPAD AND DISPLAY

8.1 DESCRIPTION
The relay has five types of display messages: actual values, main settings, advanced settings, operations and date &
time. Actual values are values that are measured by the relay, such as currents; digital values of the relay, and can
be digital inputs, outputs status and others; or internal information as the firmware revision. Main settings and
advanced settings comprise product setup, communications and protection elements adjustments. Operations are the
available commands that can be performed in the relay.
These types of messages are located within a menu structure that groups the information into categories. This
chapter describes the way to navigate this menu structure and shows the complete structure so that the user can
reach certain screens quickly.
8.2 FACEPLATE KEYPAD

The MIF II faceplate keypad is made up of five keys, as shown in figure 8-1.
ESC Up arrow
Reset
Enter
Menu
Down arrow
Figure 8-1. KEYPAD

The main screen is the one that shows the three phase and neutral currents. If the relay is not showing the main
screen, you can return to it from any other screen by pressing the Escape key as many times as necessary until
exiting the menu structure.
From the main screen, the Menu key enters the menu structure. From that point on, the user can navigate through
the menu structure using Up and Down arrows to move horizontally, Enter to enter submenus and Escape to exit to
the upper level.

8.3 ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY AND LEDS
8.3.1. DISPLAY
The faceplate display of the MIF II relay is a 16 column x 2-row characters alphanumeric LED dot matrix display.
Figure 8-2. DISPLAY

Messages in the display are shown in the English language. If the keypad is not in use during 15 minutes, the display
returns automatically to the main screen, showing the current measures.
The display contrast can be modified simultaneously pressing Escape + arrow:

* Escape + up arrow increases the contrast
* Escape + down arrow decreases the contrast

8.3.2. LEDS
The faceplate of the MIF II relay has six LEDs that show the relay status, as well as pickup and trip status. The LEDs
are grouped in two columns and three rows, as shown in figure 8-3:
Figure 8-3. LEDs
The two LEDs in the first row (Ready and Trip) are not configurable. For MIF II relays Option 1 or Option 2, the other
four LEDs (by default Phase, Ground, Inst and Pickup) are configurable by the user, using MIIPC program. See
Chapter 4 – Communications for more information on how to configure LEDs.
The color of the four LEDs in rows 2 and 3 can be changed between red and green in any relay model. The way to
do this is to press simultaneously up and down arrow keys for more than 2 seconds. Then a new menu appears:

8.4.2. HMI PASSWORD
The MIF II relay settings are password protected. To change a setting it is necessary to enter password. This
password is called HMI password. When a setting is being changed for the first time, after pressing the Enter key to
store the modified value the relay shows the following screen:
ENTER PASSWORD
4108
The password may be any number from 1 to 9999. The factory default password is 1. The relay has coded
password so, if the programmed password is not known, the user can contact GE. The user can scroll with up and
down arrow keys until the screen shows the desired password. Then press Enter to confirm and the relay will accept
and store the setting change. The setting password protection will then be disabled for 30 minutes after the last
setting change is made to the relay, or until a reset operation (the same as to reset LEDs, pressing Esc for more
than 3 seconds from the main screen) is performed from the main screen by relay keypad (it does not made any
effect if the reset is made by communications from MIIPC or a ModBus master).

The password can be modified entering Main Settings – Product Setup – HMI password. The relay then asks for
the current password. Once this one is entered, the relay asks for the new one:

9. RELAY COMMISSIONING
9.1 VISUAL INSPECTION
Unpack the relay and verify that no parts are broken and that the relay has not suffered any damage during transit.
Verify that the model number indicated on the faceplate corresponds to the model ordered.

9.2 COMMENTS ON THE TEST EQUIPMENT

Ampere-meters and stop-watches that are used for carrying out the test must be calibrated and their accuracy must
be better than that of the relay. The power supply network used for the tests must remain stable, mainly at levels
close to the test pick-up current, as well as for the time for which the relay operates according to the curve under
test.
It is important to stress that the test accuracy depends on the power supply network conditions as well as on the
instruments used. Functional tests carried out under inappropriate power supply conditions or using inappropriate
instruments can be used for ensuring that the relay works roughly correctly and, therefore, for verifying its
characteristics in an approximate manner.
There follows a list of tests that can be used to check that the unit is fully operational. For a more limited test for the
reception of units we recommend carrying out only the tests listed in sections: 9.5, 9.8, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13, 9.14,
9.15, 9.16, 9.17, 9.18 and 9.19.
9.3 INSULATION TESTS

Progressively apply 2000 RMS volts across all the terminals of a group, short-circuited, and the case for one second.
The independent groups on the relay are as follows:
Group 1: A1, A2 Power Supply

Group 2: C1 to C8 Current Transformers
Group 3: A8, A9, A10 Contact Inputs
Group 4: A5, A6 Trip
Group 5: B7, B8, B9, B10, A7 Contact Outputs
In case of performing this test on all terminals at the same time, have in mind that the consumption will
increase, due to the impedance of the capacitors inside the relay, used to derive high frequency surges to
ground. The consumption will be approximately, 3 mA at 2000 Volts for each input.
NOTE: Do not test insulation on terminals B12, A12 and B11 (RS485)
In case of using AC voltage for the activation of digital inputs, and having connected the inputs common
(A10) with the ground terminal, it is necessary to remove this connection before testing insulation on group
3.

9.4 WIRING AND NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

Necessary equipment:
1 AC current source.
1 DC voltage power supply.
1 timing device.
1 Multi-meter.
Optionally, it is advisable to have a PC available, with the MIIPC software installed.
Relay wiring diagram.
Connect the relay as shown in figure 9-1.

For safety reasons, the external protection earth terminal should be securely grounded.
Energize the relay through terminals.

Check that pressing the “ESC/RESET” button for more than 3 seconds, all the front target LEDs light up and reset.
9.6 POWER SUPPLY TEST

Connect the relay to a power supply at rated voltage. Enable the following elements: 51P, 51G, 50P1, 50P2 and 49,
setting their pickups and times to the minimum value possible. Inject to the relay on phase A and B a current equal to
2 x In (phase), making the relay to trip and to close all the auxiliary outputs corresponding to the elements enabled.
Under this tripping conditions check that the ALARM (READY) output is open, and that the relay can communicate
with the PC. Check this point requesting the relay model number from the PC.
Voltage test and maximum consumption is shown below:
Model “F” (24 - 48 Vdc)

Voltage Maximum Consumption (mA)
(Vdc)
18 900
48 300
58 250
Model “HI” (110 - 250 Vdc 120-230 Vac)

Voltage
Maximum Consumption (mA)
(Vdc)
88 130
110 105
250 55
Voltage
Maximum Consumption (mA)
(Vac)
110 200
220 140
The values shown are only illustrative, as due to the nature of the internal power supply (switched power supply), the
consumption currents are high frequency currents, and the meters used measure these values with a poor accuracy.

9.7 COMMUNICATIONS
The communication test checks that the 2 communications ports (the front RS232 and the rear RS485) work properly.
To perform this test is necessary to establish the connection between the PC and the relay (refer to figure 3-10). If the
front port is used, a straight through cable is needed. If the rear RS485 port is used, an RS485/RS232 converter is
needed. GE Multilin offers DAC300, F485 or RS232/485 converters.
The communications parameters that have to be set in the computer should match the relay communication settings.
The factory default settings for the MIF II relay are
Slave Address: 1
Baud Rate 9.600
Control Type: No control Type
Startup Mode: Communicate with relay
Using the MIIPC program, communicate with the relay and in the Status window check that the communications are
not lost at any time. Perform this test on both communications ports.
This test is carried out at the minimum and maximum voltage that the relay allows (± 20% of the rated voltage).
9.8 RELAY SETTING

When the relay is shipped from the factory, it comes with a default set of settings, which act as the starting point for
the following tests.
Since the MIF II relay has a large number of settings, a list of all the settings necessary for all tests will not be given
here, but rather only the specific settings required for each test indicated.
These tests are only valid for the default factory configuration. Different configurations involving modifications in
certain elements, such as different contact configuration, will require a subsequent modification of the test procedure.
9.9 CONTACT INPUTS

Sequentially apply the rated voltage to input CC1 and CC2 (A8-A10 and A9-A10).
Check that when voltage is applied to one contact input, only this input gets active, and the other one remains
inactive. Use the ACTUAL VALUES menu on the faceplate or a PC and the MIIPC program (ACTUAL – ACTUAL
VALUES) to easily check which input gets active for each test.
Repeat this test at minimum and maximum permissible voltages.

9.10 CONTACT OUTPUTS

Check that all the outputs are open.
Enable only 51P element, and set its pickup and time delay to the minimum values. Inject a current through phase A
terminals equal to 2 x In (phase) to trip the relay. Check that the trip output (terminals A5-A6) and auxiliary output
OUT1 (terminals A7-B7) are closed, and the PICKUP, PHASE and TRIP LEDs light up.
Enable only 51G element, and set its pickup and time delay to the minimum values. Inject a current through phase A
terminals equal to 2 x In (phase) to trip the relay. Check that the trip output (terminals A5-A6) and auxiliary output
OUT2 (terminals A7-B8) are closed, and the PICK UP, GROUND and TRIP LEDs light up.
Enable only 50P element, and set its pickup to the minimum value. Inject a current through phase A terminals equal
to 2 x In (phase) to trip the relay. Check that the trip output (terminals A5-A6) and auxiliary output OUT3 (terminals
B9-A7) are closed, and the PICK UP, PHASE, INST and TRIP LEDs light up.
Enable only element 49, and set its pickup to the minimum value. Inject a current through phase A terminals equal to
2 x In (phase) making the relay trip. Check that the trip output (terminals A5-A6) and auxiliary output OUT4 (terminals
B10-A7) are closed, and the PICK UP and TRIP LEDs light up.
Remove the Power Supply from the relay and check that the Alarm Output Contact (terminals B5-B6) is closed. Set
the power supply back to the relay terminals and check that the Alarm Output Contact is open.
9.11 RELAY METERING
9.11.1. CURRENT METERING
PHASE CURRENT
Set the relay to the same frequency than the AC source used and apply the following currents:
Phase 1 2 3 4
Ia (Amps) 0.5 x In (phase)
Ib (Amps) 0.1 x In (phase) 1 x In (phase)
Ic (Amps) 2 x In (phase)
Check that the relay measures Ia, Ib and Ic with an accuracy better than 3%.
GROUND CURRENT
Set the relay to the same frequency than the AC source used and apply the following current:
1 2
In (Amps) 0.1 x In (ground) 4 x In (ground)
Check that the relay measures the current with accuracy better than 3%.

9.12 PHASE IOC HIGH SETTING ELEMENT (50P1)

Enable only 50P1 element.
Set time delay as needed. If the time delay is set to 0 sec., the relay operating time will be between 10 to 50 ms. Also,
the customer has to test pickup.
With 0.9 times the pickup current the relay should not trip.
With 1.1 times the pickup current the relay should trip in between 10 to 50 ms.
With 4 times the pickup current the relay should trip in between 10 to 40 ms.
The test should be carried out for phases A, B and C.
9.13 PHASE IOC LOW SETTING ELEMENT (50P2)

Enable only 50P2 element.
The test should be carried out for phases A, B and C.
9.14 GROUND IOC HIGH SETTING ELEMENT (50G1)

Set time delay as needed. If time delay is set to 0 sec., relay operating time will be between 10 to 50 ms. Also, the
customer has to test pickup.

9.16 PHASE TOC ELEMENT (51P)

The 3 curves IEC or ANSI (Inverse, Very Inverse, Extremely Inverse) and the Definite Time are tested with three
points for each curve (one “no-trip point” and two “trip points”). This gives us a total of 12 points for each protection
element. The tests are carried out for different phases. Each point is tested with a different pick up and dial in order to
test the whole range of the relay.
Enable 51P element only, and set its current pickup value to the minimum possible.

10. MIF II FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
Q1 I have powered my MIF II unit to its rated voltage and the READY LED on the front remains turned off,
although the screen is lit up and showing measures.
A1 If the READY LED is unlit, it means that the unit will not trip in case of a fault. Three conditions must be
present for the unit to be in service:
1. No internal error must occur.
2. The STATUS setting in the Main Settings – General Settings group must be set to RDY (ready, in
service).
3. At least one of the protection elements must be enabled.
All MIF II units are received from the factory with all protection elements disabled, in order to avoid undesired
trips during commissioning, before the user has set the pickup values for each protection element. For this
reason, the READY LED is off when a new unit is powered up
Make sure also that the enabled protection element belongs to the active settings group. If there is a
protection element enabled in settings group 1 but no protection element enabled in settings group 2 and the
active group is group 2, there will be no protection element active at the moment, and the READY LED will be
off until either group 1 is active or any group 2 protection function is enabled.
Q2 I have tried to change a setting via HMI, but when I press the enter button to store the setting, the HMI
shows the “ENTER PASSWORD” message. What I have to do?
A2 The settings configuration via HMI is secured by a password, so no unauthorized person can change any
setting. The relay password by default is 1, so when the relay asks to “ENTER PASSWORD”, you have to
select with the up arrow-button the number 1 and then press the enter button.
Q3 What can I do if I forget the HMI password?
A3 Using the HMI it is possible to see an encrypted numerical value corresponding to the current HMI password.
This value can be viewed in the MAIN SETTINGS – PRODUCT SETUP – HMI Password menu. Please
contact GE Multilin Technical Support to decrypt this value and obtain the HMI password.
Q4 How can I change the HMI Password?
A4 In the MAIN SETTINGS – PRODUCT SETUP menu of the HMI, choose the HMI Password menu by pressing
the enter button. Enter the current password, and then choose a new password number between 1 and 9999
and press enter. The new Password will be stored.
Q5 I have just received an MIF II unit, and I do not know which communication parameters I should set in
the program.

10. MIFII FAQ
A5 The default communication baud rate is 9600 baud, for the MIIPC program as well as for the relay. When
starting the connection, the program will request the relay address and password; the value to be entered
here is 1 in both cases.
Q6 I have followed the previous steps, but I cannot communicate with the relay using the front port.
A6 Check the following points:

Communications port in MIIPC (COM1, COM2, etc.)
Baud rate must be the same for MIIPC and the relay.
Relay address and password must be the same for MIIPC and the relay.
The communications wire must be direct; do not use null modems, as this type of modem crosses pins 2 and
3.
Check that the wire connections follow the table below12:
Connector Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin

MIFII DB9 2 3 4 5 6
PC DB9 2 3 4 5 6
Q7 How do I connect MIF II terminals SDA - SDB to an RS485/RS232 converter?
A7 The RS485 standard defines terminals “A” and “B” for communication, therefore, the connection will be MIF II
SDA with converter’s terminal A, and MIF II SDB with converter’s terminal B. However it is usual to identify
terminals as “+” and “-“, taking for granted that terminal “A” will correspond to “-“, and terminal “B” with “+”. In
this case, connections must be: MIF II terminal SDA with “-“, and terminal SDB with “+”.
Anyway, it is recommended to check the converter’s documentation to confirm the manufacturer’s criterion.
For the concrete case of GE PM’s F485 converter, connections are SDA with “-“ and SDB with “+”.
Q8 After the previous steps, I cannot communicate through the rear RS485 port.
Check the following:
A8 Communications port in MIIPC (COM1, COM2, etc)

Baud rate is the same for MIIPC, the relay and the converter (if a setting is available)
Relay number and password is the same in the PC and the relay
Check the connections of SDA and SDB terminals in the MIF II with the converter.
Selection of the converter’s device type DTE/DCE.
Is the RS485 wire grounded in order to reduce noise?
12
The rest of pins are not used.

10. MIFII FAQ
Q9 How can I get the last version of firmware, PC software and instruction manual?
A9 Urgent: Via Internet on our website www.geindustrial.com/multilin Make sure you subscribe to all MIF II data,
in order to be informed about updates by e-mail.
Post: Sending a fax to GE Multilin (+34 94 485 88 45)
Q10 My MIF II unit has been powered off and I do not know if the stored information will be lost.
A10 MIF II relays have three different types of memory: FLASH, where the protection program is stored; this
memory is maintained indefinitely without power supply; EEPROM, where the protection settings are stored;
this memory is also maintained indefinitely; and RAM, where events and oscillography records are stored.
The RAM memory is maintained for 48 hours without power supply, and after this time data will be lost. The
unit date and time is also maintained for 48 hours without power supply.
Q11 Once the program events have been checked, I would like to analyze them more in detail. Can I export
these data and work with them with a different application?
A11 MIIPC software allows saving events in a CSV format file. This format is used by different applications (e.g.
Microsoft Excel™), and consists of a series of data separated by comas. Once the information is saved in this
format, they can be analyzed using all tools that accept this file format.
Q12 My MIF II unit has tripped clearing a system fault, and I would like to analyze oscillography, should I
use special software?
A12 MIIPC software allows saving oscillography in a COMTRADE format file (IEEE C37.111 / IEC 60255-24:
Common format for transient data exchange for power systems). As the COMTRADE format chosen is ASCII,
these files can be viewed in any application accepting ASCII format (Microsoft Excel®), as well as specific
applications for viewing oscillography records, as GE Multilin’s GE OSC software.
Q13 Do harmonics influence the MIF II measure?
A13 No, they don’t. The MIF II uses a complete cycle recursive DFT (Discrete Fourier Transformation) in order to
obtain the resulting measure phasor. The Fourier transformation consists of decomposing a signal into a
series of sinusoidal signals with frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency. Once these
signals have been obtained, harmonics are extracted to get the phasor value corresponding to the
fundamental frequency; therefore, it acts as a digital harmonic filter and all the relay protection elements work
only with the fundamental component of each signal.

10. MIFII FAQ

11. MIFII DO’S AND DON’TS
11. MIF II DO’S AND DON’TS

11.1 DO’S:
WARNING:
When communicating with the RS232 front port of the relay, ensure that the relay is properly grounded
(ground must be at the same level of the PC). Otherwise, use ungrounded PC.
• Read the instruction manual carefully before installing the device.
• Check the power supply rating before applying power to the relay.
Applying voltage greater than the maximum rating of the power supply (the actual rated voltage for an MIF II
relay is indicated in the front panel) can result in permanent component damage to the relay’s power supply.
• Ensure that the source CT secondary matches the relay CT rated current.
The MIF II can be ordered with either 1A or 5A phase and ground CTs. Verify that the relay rated current
(indicated in the front panel) matches the secondary rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result
in equipment damage or inadequate protection.
• Check the correct polarity of the RS-485 connections.
Different manufacturers of Modbus® compatible devices including RS-485 ports can use different criteria for
defining port polarities. In order to avoid misuse of the MIF II rear communication port, please verify
connections in accordance with information provided in the MIF II instruction book.

11. MIFII DO’S AND DON’T’S
11.2 DON’TS:
• Do not connect to the RS232 front port of the relay until being ensured that the relay ground is at the
same level of PC ground.
• Do not upgrade the relay firmware without first ensuring that relay Settings and Configuration have
been downloaded and saved to a file.
Whenever a firmware download is performed into the flash memory, upon startup, the relay will automatically
go back to factory default settings. A saved file will be a record of previously existing settings and relay
configuration (I/O, LEDs and logic). In case the firmware download has not modified the Modbus® memory
map of the relay, the previously saved file can be directly downloaded to the upgraded relay, if the memory
map has been modified a new file has to be generated using MIIPC software.
• Do not configure the two digital inputs in MIF II to the same logical value.
If done, the MIF II will evaluate and monitor only the second digital input, resulting in the first input being
useless. There are two exceptions to this rule; configuring both inputs to the same value is allowed whenever:
1) The assigned value is “No definition”. In this case the inputs are not defined and thus not evaluated by
the MIF II relay.
2) The assigned value is “General input”. In this case, the activation of inputs does not activate any
element in the MIF II protection logic, but the input values (active/non active) are evaluated and can be
used with any purpose in the MIF II configurable logic.
• Do not use both the 52/a and 52/b inputs to monitor the status of a circuit breaker.
The MIF II monitors breaker status by means of a single contact that can be selected as either a 52/a or a
52/b contact, using both will result in wrong breaker status evaluation.

12. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

MIF II units have been designed and verified using the most advanced and reliable equipment. Mounting and testing
automation ensure a high consistency of the final product. Before sending a unit back to the factory, we strongly
recommend you follow the recommendations below.
Even if it will not always solve the problem, at least they will help define it better for a quicker repair.
If you need to send a unit back to the factory for repair, please use the appropriate RETURN MATERIAL
AUTHORISATION process, and follow the shipping instructions provided by our Service Department, especially in
the case of international shipments. This will lead to a faster and efficient solution of your problem.

13. MODBUS MEMORY MAP
13. MODBUS® MEMORY MAP

This annex describes the fundamentals about the communication with MIF II units using ModBus® protocol. The
references to memory addresses can vary depending on the model, or between different firmware versions; for this
reason, please make sure that the memory map is the appropriate one for the MIF model and firmware version.
To make this easy, the MIIPC software supplied with M II Family units incorporates an option that allows extracting
the memory map of any M or M II Family unit (MIF II, MIF, MIV, MIG, MIN, MIW) connected to the PC (see Chapter
4.COMMUNICATIONS for details).
13.1 READING VALUES

The MODBUS® function used is number 3 (READ HOLDING REGISTERS). The message request command is
generated as follows:
Request:
FIELD LENGTH
Relay address 1 Byte
Function 1 Byte (03h)
Beginning address 1 word (High Byte – Low Byte)
Number of registers 1 word (High Byte – Low Byte)
CRC 1 word
Reply:
FIELD LENGTH
No. of bytes 1 Byte
Value of the registers Number of registers (# of bytes/2)
CRC 1 word
The read data comes in Intel format when they are numbers (the bytes come in inverse order: least significant byte
first, most significant byte last), and in Motorola format when they are texts (these are in the same order as they are
read in a book). For example, a string “TEST” will be read “T”, “E”, “S”, “T”, but a number 2B 05 will be read “05 2B”
(sometimes “05 2B 00 00”, depending on the format, but with the byte order changed).

Example:

13.2 COMMAND EXECUTION

Commands are executed in two steps: selection and confirmation. First, send the command or operation selection
command. When the relay response arrives, send the confirmation. It is necessary to send the relay password. The
structure for both commands is the same; the only variation is the related code.
The MODBUS® function used is 16 (10h), PRESET MULTIPLE SETPOINTS. It consists of a writing of the operation
code in address 0000h. The data to write must be in Intel format for numbers and Motorola format for texts; Intel
format means the bytes must be in inverse order (least significant byte first, most significant byte last). Texts are in
Motorola format: in the same order as they are read in a book. In each particular case the byte order is specified.
The implemented commands are as follows:
COMMAND SELECTION (HEX) CONFIRMATION (HEX)

Setting change 01 02
Reset thermal image 03 04
Open breaker 07 08
LEDs and latched outputs reset 09 10

The registers sent correspond to two data: the command code in 16-bit integer format (2 bytes), and the relay password in 32-
bit integer format (4 bytes). The last one, when it is reordered from the least to the most weighed byte, produces registers 2 and 3.
For example: if the relay password is 27 (decimal), changed to hexadecimal it results in 1B. In 32-bit it will be 00 00 00 1B. After
reordering it, it becomes 1B 00 00 00, from where register 2 (1B 00) and 3 (00 00) are obtained.

13.3 DATE AND TIME SYNCHRONIZATION

To synchronize the date and time of a relay we use a command with the following characteristics:
The command is executed in broadcast mode, that is, the message is sent to all the units in the network (relay
address = 00h) and no answer is expected from the relay.
The date and time are included in the message. The date and time format length is 6 bytes, indicating the number of
milliseconds passed from a base date, 1/1/96 at 00:00:00.000 hours.
FIELD LENGTH
Relay address 1 Byte (00h – Broadcast)
No. of bytes 1 Byte (08h) (High byte – low byte)
Value of the registers Register1=>Command code (FE 00)(Low byte –High
byte).
Register2..4=>Date and time (from least significant
byte to most significant byte)

Example
To send the date and time of the 31st of May, 1999 at 10:01:04.224, that is, 107,690,464,224 milliseconds from the
base date/time:
107,690,464,224 Decimal = 00 19 12 DA 13 E0 Hexadecimal.

13.4 WRITING SETTINGS

There are three steps to write a setting:
Execute a selection command using code 01 00h. (See command execution).
Change the setting (write the value at the right memory zone)
Execute a confirmation command using code 02 00h (See command execution).
To modify a setting, use function 10h (MODBUS® PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTERS)

13.5 EVENTS
In order to read events from the relay, the memory position that defines “All events” must be read first. This position
holds the number of events recorded by the relay since the last time they were deleted. For MIF II relays, the address
is the 054A.
Note that although the counter can display a higher number, only the last 32 events will be accessible.
The size for each stored event will be of 32 bytes.
This operation is performed the same way as any other command:
OPEN EVENTS:
The first step after reading the number of new events consists of sending an Open Events command (similar to
command selection). The code for opening events is 13h.

Next, event values have to be read. The starting address to begin reading from is defined in the memory map. This
address can vary depending on the relay model and firmware version16. For MIF II relays with firmware version 3.00,
this address is:

The data within every event are grouped according to the table appearing later in this chapter, and the bit or byte order for each
value is given by its own format (for example, date and time will not have the same order as measures or bit-format data). Bytes
for every data are in intel format: first the least significant byte and at the end the most significant byte.

EVENTS WINDOW CLOSING:
Finally, the events window must be closed (operation confirmation). The code for this operation is 14h. The number of
events to delete must be specified in the same command (Register3, value). If no event will be deleted, a zero
(0000h) must be sent in the VALUE field.

The events window is initialized to 0; if an event index that does not store any value is read, a set of 32 bytes
initialized to 0x00 will be read.

Once the opening command for the oscillography window has been executed, the records containing the necessary
information will be accessible. This information is divided in three blocks:
1. Samples of analog (currents and voltages) and digital channels.

2. RMS values of analog channels and active group in the moment of the oscillography trigger (trigger report)

3. Additional data to create the COMTRADE files, such as: date and time, sampling rate, number of samples, line
frequency, oscillo number (Configuration).
The memory positions that contain this information can vary depending on the relay model and firmware version. For
MIF II models with firmware version 3.00, these positions are18:
Model Sample Start Length Report Start Length Configuration start Length
MIF II 9AC 2688 142C 18 143E 16
When the map is retrieved from a relay using MIIPC, this information will be shown as follows:
Model Start Length

MIF II 9AC | 142C | 143E 2688 | 18 | 16
For the first block, that contains the analog and digital channels samples, the structure is as follows:

The second block of information contains the oscillo report; this includes the RMS values of analog signals when the
oscillography was triggered. If the trigger is produced by a relay trip, these values will be the fault values.
This block will be written as follows:

142C Ia when the oscillography was triggered 4 F2
1430 Ib when the oscillography was triggered 4 F2
1434 Ic when the oscillography was triggered 4 F2
1438 In when the oscillography was triggered 4 F2
143C 3 Active group when the oscillography 2 F5
was triggered
The third and last block that contains the rest of information to create COMTRADE format files, has the following
structure:
OSCILLOGRAPHY GENERAL DATA

1444 Number of samples per second 2 F5
1446 Number of samples 2 F5
1448 Line frequency 2 F5
144A Oscillo index 2 F5
Once the oscillography information has been read and saved, this window must be closed in the relay, sending the
oscillography file closing command. The information will still be stored in the relay, because closing this window does
not involve deleting the information. However, the relay can store only one oscillography, and when a new one is
created, the previous one will be deleted.

13.7 ERRORS
When any of the previous commands produce an error in the slave the following frame is received:
FIELD LENGTH
Function + 80h 1 Byte
Error code 1 Byte
CRC 1 word
The error code can have the following values:

01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE
04 SLAVE DEVICE FAILURE
05 ACK.
06 SLAVE BUSY
07 NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE
08 MEMORY PARITY ERROR
Example
In this example the error consists of writing to an illegal address (the address is of Read Only type) and the relay
returns an “Illegal data address” code. As the wrong operation is a writing (code 10h), the function field will be
80h + 10h = 90h.

ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985 IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic as Single format.
The equation defined by the standard is as follows:
Decimal value = (-1)s * 2 e - 127 * 1.m

In order to obtain s, e and m, we will explain an example:
If the data read in memory is: 33 F3 C7 42.
1º - Place the data with MSB first, and LSB at the end: 42 C7 F3 33
2º - Turn the number to binary:
0100 0010 1100 0111 1111 0011 0011 0011
3º - The first bit is s. In this case s=0
4º - The next 8 bits are e. In this case e=133
5º - The remaining bits are m. In this case m=100 0111 1111 0011 0011 0011 (In decimal, 0.565 approx)
(The weights of bits for calculating m are 0.5; 0.25; 0.125; 0.0625; 0.03125; 0.015625; 0.0078125 ....)
