1 INTRODUCTION.
The VISIONr is a sophisticated microprocessor based autoreclose protection relay designed specifically for the
FKI made Horizon circuit breaker and GVR pole mounted recloser.
The relay measures currents and voltages in the main circuit. This enables the relay to provide flexible
autoreclose protection and also a comprehensive range of metered data.
All of the setting parameters can be programmed using the integral keypad and LCD.
A RS232 connection on the front of the relay permits setting data to be retrieved from the relay or downloaded
from a PC. This connection also permits disturbance records to be retrieved for viewing.
A RS485 connection on the rear of the relay permits full control of the relay via a number of communication
protocols.
The relay provides optically isolated inputs for control of the relay. The status of these inputs is available via the
integral LCD.
The relay also provides a number of relay contact outputs. These can be configured to provide indication of the
relay status.
During operational conditions the LCD also gives access to accurate load, statistical and fault data.
The protection functions provided by the relay are summarised below: -

4 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM.
The VISIONr relay is equipped with 4 x CT inputs for Phase Current and Earth fault measurement. The Earth CT
can be residually connected from the 3 x Phase CT’s as an alternative to the above diagram.
Three (3) Phase to Neutral VT inputs are used to monitor the voltage of a 3 phase system. Normal VT’s can be
connected or Capacitive VTs can be used as shown above. A residual neutral voltage is calculated which is
used to determine the direction of earth fault current for required applications. Alternatively when this residual
voltage is not required a fourth VT input is available for check synchronisation.
As standard the VISIONr has twelve (12) optically isolated (9 programmable) digital inputs with a separate
control voltage source to allow for either dc or ac inputs without consideration needed to be given to the auxiliary
supply voltage. Eight (8) changeover contact output relays are provided on the relay, Outputs 1 and 2 are set as
Trip and Close allowing the other 6 to be freely programmed.

Dead Times 1, 2 and 3 are the breaker open time between a trip and the subsequent reclose.
The Reclaim Time is the time period between a fault current that has cleared and the relay reverting back to
Protection Set 1, hence allowing a full sequence to occur again before lockout.
The Sequence reset time is the time period that maintains the last protection set characteristics if the breaker is
manually closed after a lockout, before then reverting back to Protection Set 1 characteristics.
Manual Close and Open delays are the time periods between a panel close or open being requested by the
operator and the VISIONr issuing the command to the breaker. This is to allow the operator to gain safe
distance before the breaker is operated.
The Breaker Type and Dead Time Offsets are configured during factory build and are to ensure correct
operation and permissible operation time between the breaker and VISIONr.
This is part of the system calibration and should not be altered.
The above settings are described in more detail in section 10.

8.2 RELAY FUNCTIONS.
8.2.1 Close.
Once receiving a command to close the circuit breaker the output relay closes, thus sending a close signal to the
circuit breaker. This signal remains closed until the relay is informed that the breaker has changed state. The
relay determines the status of the breaker via the digital input that is assigned to "ACB Feedback". Once the
status of this digital input has changed the output relay opens. In the case where no change of breaker status is
detected, the output relay remains closed until the time specified in the Breaker Fail Protection Function has
elapsed.
8.2.2 Trip.
This output is used to trip the circuit breaker and follows the same pattern as above. i.e. when a trip command is
received the output relay closes and remains closed until the breaker is seen to open via the "ACB Feedback"
input or the time specified in the Breaker Fail Protection Function has elapsed.
8.2.3 Not Used.
This option switches off the use of that particular output relay.
8.2.4 Warn 1.
If an output relay is assigned as “Warn 1” then this relay will change state from de-energised
to energised when triggered by any protection function or external device connected to the relay that is
configured with Warn 1 enabled.
The relay will only be energised while the protection function or external device registers that a pickup setting or
fault status has been violated. When the pickup setting is no longer violated the output relay assigned as “Warn
1” will be de-energised.
“Warn 1” output relay will be energised as soon as a protection features pickup has been exceeded despite any
delays that may have been assigned.
Page 28 of 66
22/JUNE/06
8.2.5 Warn 2.
If an output relay is assigned as “Warn 2” then this relay will change state from de-energised
to energised when triggered by any protection function or external device connected to the relay that is
configured with “Warn 2” enabled.
The relay will only be energised while the protection function or external device registers that a pickup setting or
fault status has been violated. When the pickup setting is no longer violated the output relay assigned as “Warn
2” will be de-energised.
“Warn 2” output relay will be energised as soon as a protection features pickup has been exceeded despite any
delays that may have been assigned.
8.2.6 Alarm.
If an output relay is assigned as “Alarm” then this relay will change state from de-energised to energised when
triggered by any protection function or external device connected to the relay that is configured to alarm.
The alarm operates after the expiry of the programmed time delay assigned to the protection feature.
8.2.7 Indicator 1-4.
If an output relay is assigned as any of the 4 available Indicators then this relay will change state from de-
energised to energised when triggered by any protection function or external device connected to the relay that
is configured to indicate on that same indicator channel.
Once activated the output relay will be latched and requires a reset before returning to its normal state. Unlike
Warn 1 and Warn 2 which are activated as soon as a protection feature pickup is exceeded, Indicators will only
be activated after the expiry of the time delay assigned to the protection feature.
8.2.8 Alarm Fail-Safe.
If an output relay is assigned as “Alarm FS” then this relay will change state from energised to de-energised
when triggered by any protection function or external device connected to the relay that is configured to alarm.
The alarm operates after the expiry of the programmed time delay assigned to the protection feature.
8.2.9 Indicator 1-4 Fail-Safe.
If an output relay is assigned as any of the 4 available fail safe indicators then this relay will change state from
energised to the de-energised relay contact when triggered by any protection function or external device
connected to the relay that is configured to indicate on that same indicator channel.
Once activated the output relay will be latched and requires a reset before returning to its normal state. Unlike
Warn 1 and Warn 2 which are activated as soon as a protection feature pickup is exceeded, Indicators will only
be activated after the expiry of the time delay assigned to the protection feature.
8.2.10 Serial Available.
If an output relay is assigned as ‘Serial Available’ this relay will be energised only when the breaker is available
to be closed through the serial port, via a serial command.
Page 29 of 66
22/JUNE/06
8.2.11 Panel Available.
If an output relay is assigned as “Panel Available” this relay will be energised only when the breaker is available
to be closed from the front panel of the relay.
8.2.12 Remote Available.
If an output relay is assigned as ‘Remote Available’ this relay will be energised only when the breaker is
available to be closed from a remote station via a digital input.
8.2.13 Trip and Lockout.
If an output relay is assigned as “Trip & Lockout” then this relay will change state from the de-energised to the
energised relay contact when triggered by any protection function or external device connected to the relay that
is configured to trip the circuit breaker. Once “Tripped” the relay will not permit any further control of the circuit
breaker until the fault has been acknowledged by means of a reset. Trip and Lockout will provide a permanent
open signal to the circuit breaker thus preventing manual closure of the circuit breaker onto a possible fault
condition. The Trip and Lockout relay is a maintained relay action.
8.2.14 Follow A.
If an output relay is programmed as “Follow A” its state will mirror the state of output relay 1.
Output relay 1 is always set to CLOSE and is a pulse contact.
8.2.15 Follow B.
If an output relay is programmed as “Follow B” its state will mirror the state of output relay 2.
Output relay 2 is always set to TRIP and is a pulse contact.
8.2.16 Gas Pressure Alarm.
If an output relay is programmed as “Gas Pressure Alarm” then this relay will change state from the energised to
the de-energised state if the gas pressure falls below a pre-set alarm level.
8.2.17 Sequence Lockout.
If an output relay is assigned as “Sequence Lockout” then this relay will change state from the de-energised to
the energised relay contact when triggered by any protection function that terminates the re-closing sequence or
the relay completes its programmed reclose sequence without reclaiming. Once “Locked Out” the relay will not
de-energise until the relay is re-closed.
8.2.18 Protection Enabled.
If an output relay is programmed as “Protection Enabled” then this relay will energise when the relays Protection
Function is ENABLED and de-energise when the Protection Function is DISABLED.

Reclose de-energise when the relay is set to Single Shot.
8.2.22 Aux 1-3 Enabled.
If an output relay is programmed as “Aux 1- 3 Enabled” then this relay will energise when that Auxiliary Function
(if programmed) is ENABLED and de-energise when that Auxiliary Function is DISABLED.
8.2.23 Supply Missing FS.
If an output relay is programmed as “Supply Missing FS” then this relay will change state from the energised to
the de-energised state if the relay supply is lost.
8.2.24 Internal Error FS.
If an output relay is programmed as “Internal Error FS” then this relay will change state from the energised to the
de-energised state if the relay develops an internal fault.

9 CONTROL INPUTS.
12 digital inputs are provided. The supply voltage range for these inputs is the same as the supply voltage range
for the relay. The condition of all these inputs can be viewed at any time via the Digital Inputs page of the Data
Menu.
Input 1 is always assigned as “ACB Feedback” and allows the relay to monitor the position of the circuit breaker.
The status of the switchgear is determined and shown via the front plate LED's and LCD display. An auxiliary
contact on the Circuit Breaker provides the signal for this digital input.
Input 2 is always assigned as “Close” and will close the circuit breaker provided that the close setup source
within the software has been configured to allow remote closing of the breaker.
For a close to occur there must be no inhibit conditions existing. Any fault condition must be cleared.
Note: A circuit breaker may only be closed provided all conditions that inhibit such an action are healthy including
password security.
Input 3 is always assigned as “Open” and will open the circuit breaker provided that the open setup source
within the software has been configured to allow remote opening of the breaker.
Only a momentary digital input signal is required for the “Close” and “Open” commands.
The other 9 inputs are available to be programmed as any of the following: -
Reset Fault
Auto / Manual
Local / Remote
Test / Service
Authorise
Blocking Input.
External Fault 1-5
Protection
E/F Protection
Live Line
Reclose

effectively split evenly each side of the Ie Direction setting.
For a more detailed explanation of the directional earth operation see Appendix 5.
Page 34 of 66
22/JUNE/06
10.1.8 Cold Load Pickup
This allows the user to enable or disable the cold load pickup function.
The cold load pickup (CLPU) feature is a 1 SHOT sequence intended for those applications where the start up
currents of a system, which occur when the breaker is closed, might cause the normal protection sequence
(whether it is RECLOSE or 1 SHOT) to trip.
10.1.9 Sequence Reset Time
This feature will cause the unit to only perform the last trip in the sequence if the enclose enabled function is set
or the last single shot trip if the unit is closed after lockout and the set sequence rest time (1-180s) has not
elapsed.
THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IF THE RECLOSE ENABLE

FUNCTION IS ACTIVE
10.1.10 Sequence Co-ordination
This allows the user to enable or disable the Sequence Co-ordination function.
The sequence co-ordination feature is intended for applications where two or more breakers are connected
inseries. It is used to automatically advance the sequence of an upstream breaker when it sees fault current
interrupted by a down stream breaker.
10.1.11 Auto Reclose Phase
This allows the user to set the number of overcurrent trips from 1 to 4 in the trip sequence. The setting of these
trips can be configured in protection settings.
Note: To set all via overcurrent trips via the screen this value must be set to 4 else only the number selected can
be configured.
10.1.12 Auto Reclose Earth
This allows the user to set the number of Earth Fault trips from 1 to 4 in the trip sequence. The setting of these
trips can be configured in protection settings.
Note: To set all via Earth Fault trips via the screen this value must be set to 4 else only the number selected can
be configured.
10.1.13 Dead Times 1-3
This allows the user to set the dead time interval (0.25s-180s) between the trips in the sequence.
10.1.14 Reclaim Time

22/JUNE/06
11 FEEDER SETTINGS.
11.1.1 Overcurrent Poles
This specifies that the unit is set for 3 x phase current inputs.
11.1.2 CT Primary
This setting allows the user to program the primary current rating of the protection class current transformers on
the supply phases. It is assumed that all phase current transformers are of the same rating.
11.1.3 VT Primary
This setting allows the user to program the primary voltage rating of the three phase voltage transformers (if
used). If a VT is not used enter the rated voltage for the direct connection. This is limited to 415V.
Note: Each of the 3 phase Voltage Inputs should be connected between a phase and neutral only. The
Voltage Reference Input (check synch) may be connected between two phases or a phase and neutral.
11.1.4 VT Secondary
This setting allows the user to program the secondary voltage rating of the external voltage transformers (if
used).
11.1.5 Voltage
This should be set to the line voltage of the supply and is necessary for power calculations. The setting is also
used for the Under/Overvoltage.
As an example if the voltage input was connected between two phases on a 415V system this setting would be
415V. If however the voltage input was connected between a phase and neutral then this setting should be
240V.
11.1.6 Constant Current Rating (CCR)
This setting allows the user to program the Constant Current Rating of the feeder or transformer supplying the
load as a percentage of the CT Primary rating.
Since this setting is a percentage of the CT primary, any change in the CT Primary setting will alter the
CCR setting. As a result it is recommended that the CT Primary be set first.
Page 36 of 66
22/JUNE/06
11.1.7 EFCT Primary 1
This setting allows the user to program the primary current rating of the protection class current transformer
used to measure the primary earth fault current.
NOTE:- This should be set to the same value as the phase CT Primary for residually connected earth
fault measurement.
11.1.8 kW Sample Period
This setting range 1 to 60 min in steps of 1min determines the period over which a measurement is taken to
integrate the Kilowatt Hours value.
Page 37 of 66
22/JUNE/06
12 SERIAL SETTINGS
12.1.1 RS485
A 3 pin RS485 connector on the rear of the relay permits the control of the relay via a number of protocols.
VISIONr is compatible with DNP3, Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII based systems. A Profibus version of
VISIONr is available but the physical interface changes to a 9-way D-type connector.
12.1.2 RS232
The 9-way D-type RS232 connector on the front of the rely permits programming of settings and retrieval of
historical data using the supplied Windows software.
12.2 SERIAL SETTINGS
Serial Enabled / Disabled.
This setting allows the user to enable the VISIONr serial communications port. This setting must be set to
“Enable” if communication with the relay through the serial link is required.
Drive Number.
This setting range 1 to 32 0r 1-125 with Profibus, with a default setting of 1, identifies the VISIONr unit to the
Xcell unit (or any Master device connected to the Data highway) to which the RS485 or Profibus port is
connected. When updating firmware the auto program mode requires the drive number to be 1.
RS485 Baud Rate.
This setting allows the user to configure the appropriate communications baud rate such that the VISIONr can
communicate effectively on the Data Highway to which it is connected.
RS232 Baud Rate.
This setting allows the user to configure the baud rate for the front mounted RS232 port.
Serial Delay.
The VISIONr may be configured to respond to a request for information from the serial port instantly or after a
designated delay.
A communications delay may be beneficial to ensure the Master device on the Data Highway receives all
information sent back by the VISIONr without enduring data collisions on the network.
Fast Scan Words.
A Fast Scan is a system used when operating in conjunction with the XCell Data Concentrator. As the XCell
polls relays attached on its network, the fastscan settings allows the user to select important data to be read
back faster.
The data on the communications link is broken into Fast Scan Data (or Process Critical Data) and Slow Scan or
Full Read Data (Electrical Engineering Data).
The amount of Fast Scan Data to be sent back to the XCell in response to a request is configurable. This setting
has the range 4, 6 or 8 Words. A setting of 4 Words will give 3 Fast Scans. The remaining Word is taken up by
the Total Power. A setting of 6 Words will give 5 configurable Fast Scans and a setting of 8 Words will allow 7
configurable Fast Scans.
Page 38 of 66
22/JUNE/06
The configuration of Fast Scan is not necessary unless the VISIONr in used in conjunction with the XCell unit.
Fast Scan 1 to 3 (1 to 5 or 1 to 7).
Each Fastscan number can be programmed to export important data when requested. This number references
an internal address in FV2 and allows configurable data mapping between units. Typical data could be 3-Phase
Current, 3-Phase Voltage and so on. A table of the Fastscan reference numbers can be found in appendix 1
Max Scan Time.
This setting need only be used in order to limit the amount of data traffic on a RS485 network. Dynamic data can
change rapidly, this setting allows the VISIONr to limit the number of updates it makes to its Fast Scan values.
RS485 Port Protocol.
The RS485 serial communications port may be configured to operate using a slave implementation of Modbus
RTU®, Modbus ASCII, DNP3 or P&B Engineering’s own protocol “P&B Standard” designed to remove some of
the speed issues associated with a function based protocol like Modbus.
RS232 Port Protocol.

The RS232 serial communications can be selected to be either P&B Standard or Modbus RTU.
Parity.
This setting allows the user to set the parity to match that of the host system on the serial link. The options are
“Odd”, “Even” and “None”.
Comms Power Scale.
This setting allows the user to configure the way the relay transmits the measurement data via the serial port. If
set too fixed the relay transmits this information without any scaling i.e. power is transmitted as KW. If set to
Auto the data will be transmitted with a scaling factor as part of the transmission allowing the measurement to be
displayed as a scaled value i.e. power will be transmitted as MW. The options are “Auto” and “Fixed”.
THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS ARE AVAILABE WHEN MODBUS ASCII IS SELECTED

In ASCII mode the relay can on certain occasions transmit data (Report By Exception) without being requested
by the host system. The settings below are required to allow the relay to operate in this mode.
Gap in Message.
This is an additional delay period between the transmission of multiple byte data from the relay. The delay can
be set from 10ms to 1s in 10ms steps.
RBE Timeout In.

This is the time allowed for a response from the host system to the VISION r after a RBE message has be sent
before registering a timeout. This adjustable from 1 to 120 seconds n 1 second steps.

13 DISTURBANCE RECORDING.
Disturbance and fault recording is a very effective tool for personnel to analyse the performance of the power
system and related equipment during and after a major disturbance.
Utilising the graphical display to full effect an onscreen Disturbance Recording facility is available.
The relay captures the 8 most recent oscillographic records. These can be weighted pre and post fault on
selectable triggering events.
All the currents and voltages are captured on a single recording (viewable separately) along with a specified
digital output and digital input.
The disturbance traces can also be extracted via the optional front mounted RS232 port in Comtrade format for
high resolution analysis.
The disturbance recording feature is accessed using the DATA MENU / MEASURED VALUES / DISTURB

SER Monitoring.
The relay monitors each of the 121 binary inputs. If the input changes state, the relay time and date stamps the
change in the SER. If a protection element exceeds its pickup level, initiates a trip, resets or de-asserts the
element, the relay time and date stamps each change in the SER.
SER Log.
The relay logs the last 100 events but the user only has access to the 32 most recent events via the screen by
using the Up and Down scroll keys to scroll the events. The most recent event is located at the Top of the
rd
screen and after the 33 event the oldest record is not displayed. The user has got access to the last 100 events
st
via DNP3. After the 101 event the oldest record is erased.
SER Logging of Information
The above screen shows an example of a Protection SER event. The sequence starts when the relay detects
the Frequency has fallen below its set limit and the element has picked up (*P). The next line in the sequence is
when the element trip time for that setting has elapsed and the unit has asserted a trip (*A). Almost at the same
time as the trip the relay see that the under-frequency has cleared as the breaker has tripped so resets (*R) then
finally the elements de-asserts (*D).
As the above screen show the pickup (*P) and reset (*R) are a pair and are used in the logging of Protection
events. If the relay then trips due to this pick then the elements asserts (*A) and then finally de-asserts (*D)
again are a pair. In logging of keypad changes, digital input or output changes then the later pair are used giving
an asserted (*A) when the change is activate and de-asserted (*D) when de-active.
Another example of an SER Sequence Event can be seen in Appendix 2.
SER Binary Events.
A full listing of the events can be seen in Appendix 3. These can be selected or deselected via the VISION
Control II windows software.

If a digital input is set to Authorise, by energising this digital input you can change settings without being
prompted for a password.
Engineering Password
If enabled the Engineer Password will allow access using the standard password. Generally if a password is
requested a prompt will offer ‘AAAAA’, changing the second A to a B ‘ABAAA’ allows access.
The settings may only be modified when the correct password has been entered.
Change Password.
The VISIONr default password is '6363'. It is recommended for security purposes this password be changed.
The password may be up to 6 characters long and alphanumeric if desired.
If the User Password is lost and the Engineers Password has been disabled the only options are to either Read
the information via the serial Link or execute a Configuration Reset on the relay to restore all of the factory
defaults.
Edit Custom Strings.

The VISIONr provides the user with the ability to assign a unique user definable name to External 1 to 5

17 PROTECTION SETTINGS.
Each protection function is configurable independently of the others. The available action, the type of reset, the
various threshold levels and trip timers for each and every protection function can be found in section 5
This section describes in detail what each function does and how it operates.
Function. UP SELECT
Protection Settings
If a particular protective function is required for use it should be selected and set A Cold Load Pickup
to Function: Enabled. That function now operates as per its configuration. T CLPU HS
On exit the protective list will show to the left hand side of the name a tick if the T E/F CLPU
function is enabled, and A or T, or both if set, to operate an Alarm or a Trip. OFF E/F CLPU HS
T Ov ercurrent 1
If a particular function is not required it can be left disabled and it will display OFF OFF Overcurrent 1 HS
next to the function.
DOWN EXIT
Warn 1.
When set to Enabled this setting activates the Output Relay that is programmed to Warn 1 indicating that a trip
is imminent after the trip time has been exceeded. It is activated when the Trip Level has been exceeded.
Warn 2.
When set to Enabled this setting activates the Output Relay that is programmed to Warn 2 indicating that a trip
is imminent after the trip time has been exceeded. It is activated when the Trip Level has been exceeded
Alarm.
An Alarm is considered as a high level function. If enabled, an A will appear alongside the protection setting
description. If the function activates it will be recorded as part of the alarm history and cause VISIONr to enter an
alarm state; the fault will be displayed in the active faults. If an output relay is set as Alarm it will change state
with the fault.
Trip.
A Trip is considered as a high level function. If enabled, a T will appear alongside the protection setting
description. If the function activates it will be recorded as part of the trip history and cause VISIONr to enter a trip
state; the fault will be displayed in the active faults page and the unit will automatically display that page, the right
hand LED will turn RED if the unit goes to Lockout.
Inhibit.
An Inhibit is considered as a high level function. If enabled and the function activates it will display in the active
faults page with a letter ‘I’ to indicate the function is causing an inhibit. The feeder may continue to remained
closed but cannot be reclosed whilst the inhibit remains.
Active In Test.
When Enabled this will allow the Protection Function to be Enabled when the Test Digital Input is set to Test. It is
normal that when in the Test position certain Functions are disabled to allow easier testing. With this option the
user is able to choose which functions are disabled during test.
Page 49 of 66
22/JUNE/06
Blockable.
Enabling this function will allow the Protection Function to be blocked when the corresponding blocking digital
input is closed, thereby allowing the user to block certain Protection Functions from being active.
Reset.
The configuration of the reset allows that particular function to be cleared or reset to a healthy condition
providing the condition that caused the fault, alarm or inhibit has been removed.
If a fault remains active an asterix appears with the T, A or I and fault description in the active faults page.
Auto Reset.
This option, when enabled, automatically resets the Fault when the situation that caused the trip has been
removed.
NOTE:- The autoreclose settings are all set to auto and cannot be changed otherwise the unit would be
unable to sequence.
Panel-Reset.
This option, when Enabled, allows a reset of a fault to be carried out from the front panel of the relay. A reset
button will be displayed in the active fault page if any fault has been removed and is enabled for a panel reset.
Serial-Reset.
This option, when Enabled, allows a reset of a fault to be carried out through the serial link of the relay.
Remote-Reset.
This option, when Enabled, allows a reset of a fault to be carried out through the digital inputs to the relay. A
digital input must be set to Reset Faults and must be closed after the fault condition has been removed in order
for the reset to operate.
Indicators.
The indicators can be used for transparent signalling when a protective condition is active. There are 4 separate
indicators to choose from.
The indicators are considered as a low level function meaning no automated response arises from an active
condition, i.e the unit does not trip (unless activated to) or indicate via the LEDS.
The Indicators are used to drive output relays and can be used as a specific function output. For example, all
earth fault protection is configured to call Indicator 1, all phase overcurrent protection activates Indicator 2.
Indicator 1 and 2 can then be used to distinguish between phase and earth fault trips via a dedicated output
relay.
Indicators can also be used for hardwired interlocking control when driven from the External Fault based
protective functions.
The output relay must also be configured as an indicator to operate in this manner.

17.1.1 Undervoltage.
The VISIONr may be configured to trip, alarm and/or indicate as a result of an Undervoltage condition on any
phase. Undervoltage may be due to large machines starting due to inrush currents creating voltage dips. As
such, Undervoltage protection should be set with the ability to ride-out some Undervoltage conditions to avoid
unnecessary tripping.
Trip Level.
The Undervoltage pickup is set as a percentage of the Voltage setting. If this should decrease and remains
below the threshold level action is taken after the trip time has elapsed.
Trip Time.
The trip time is set to determine how long an Undervoltage condition can persist before the configured action is
taken.
17.1.2 Overvoltage.
The VISIONr may be configured to trip, alarm and/or indicate as a result of an overvoltage condition on any
phase.
System overvoltages or swells may be as a result of capacitor bank switching for example, so care must be
exercised to avoid nuisance tripping. The overvoltage trip delay should be programmed to prevent nuisance
tripping during such transients whilst providing protection against longer swell conditions not typically seen or
that have adverse effects on equipment.
Trip Level.
The overvoltage pickup is set as a percentage of the Voltage setting. If this increases and remains above the
threshold level action is taken after the trip time has elapsed.
Trip Time.
The trip time is set to determine how long an overvoltage condition can persist before the configured action is

17.1.3 Single Shot Overcurrent.
The VISIONr may be set to perform a 1 SHOT overcurrent sequence which permits just one trip to lockout. It
may be configured to trip, alarm and/or indicate as a result of an overcurrent condition. The relay uses the O/C
Pickup Level set in the Breaker Setting Menu for the Trip Level.
Deselecting the ‘Auto’ panel button of the VISIONr forces this protection to be active providing fault current is
detected.
Characteristic.
This corresponds to a set of time curves (Definite Time, Normal Inverse, Very Inverse and Extremely Inverse)
that dictate the time delay to trip depending on the phase current and the characteristic chosen. This is used
when co-ordinating and discriminating between faults on larger systems. See Section 18
Trip Time.
The trip time is set to determine how long an Single Shot Overcurrent condition can persist before the configured
action is taken.
Note: this setting is only available when the characteristic setting is set to Definite Time

frequency must fall and remain below the set threshold level for the duration of the trip time before the
17.1.19 Breaker.
The VISIONr provides the facility to monitor the status of the circuit breaker. Auxiliary contacts on the circuit
breaker are used to provide the current state of the breaker to the VISIONr. The VISIONr then compares the
physical status of the circuit breaker with the state it should be in according to the VISIONr.
If the VISIONr detects the circuit breaker closed via the digital inputs after an open/trip command has been
issued the relay will display “Breaker Fail” on the screen and may be configured to re-attempt to open the
breaker, alarm and/or indicate.
Similarly if the VISIONr detects the circuit breaker open and has already executed a close command to the
circuit breaker “Breaker Fail” will be reported and action may be initiated.
Trip Time
The trip time is set to determine how long a delay is implemented for the VISIONr to receive a feeder back of the
breaker status that matches the VISIONr status via the digital inputs
17.1.20 Programmable External Fault 1-5.
The external faults are digital input based, configurable action inputs. Up to 5 are available and bring a flexible
PLC approach to the normal protective functionality. Each is independently configurable and can be used to
provide permissive interlocking or process commands.
Each External fault can be renamed to an eleven character user defined text string, Unit Settings > Edit Custom
Strings.

APPENDIX 5 DIRECTIONAL EARTH FAULT
The VISIONr relay can be supplied with directional earth fault protection when required. The Earth Fault
protection behaves and is configured in the normal way.
There are three (3) additional settings required in order for directional E/F to operate, these are Ve Pickup Level,
Ie Direction and Ie Sector as described in sections 6 and 10.
For this example:

0
Ie Direction = 30
0
Ie Sector = 80
The Ie Sector setting creates an Operational Zone within the phasor relationship either side of the direction
setting.
In order for Earth Fault current to trip the relay certain conditions must be met.

1> Earth Fault is Enabled

2> The Earth Fault current magnitude must have exceeded the E/F pick-up threshold level.
3> V1, V2 and V3 should be unbalanced and the residual sum is producing a voltage which exceeds the
threshold level of Ve Pickup.
4> The phase relationship between Ie and Ve falls within the Operational Zone.

APPENDIX 6 MODBUS RTU/ASCII
In addition to standard Modbus RTU VISIONr is capable of communicating to host systems in Modbus ASCII. In
ASCII mode the relay is capable of behaving as a master device and can transmit pertinent data without being
requested by the host system.
The Modbus commands supported by VISIONr are as follows;
Function Code Description
2 [02h] Read Input Status (e.g. logic or binary status)

3 [03h] Read Holding Registers (e.g. single setting register)
4 [04h] Read Input Registers (e.g. analogue value)
5 [05h] Force Single Coil (e.g. trip, close command)
6 [06h] Preset Single Register (e.g. set single setting register)
(ASCII only) 8 [08h] Report By Exception (e.g. send data from relay)
15 [0Fh] Force Multiple Coils (e.g. trip close commands to multiple devices)
16 [10h] Preset Multiple Register (e.g. set multiple settings. max. 140 bytes)
RTU Mode
Each 8 bit byte in a message contains two 4-bit hexadecimal characters. Achieving greater character density
over ASCII hence improved throughput at the same baud rate. Transmitted in a continuous data stream.
Coding System: 8-bit binary, hexadecimal 0-9, A-F

Two hexadecimal characters contained in each 8-bit filed of the message
Bits per Byte 1 start bit, 8 data bits, LSB 1ST, 1 bit for odd/even parity, no bit for none
1 stop bit with parity, 2 stop bits for none
Error Check Field Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC)
Frame Format
START ADDRESS FUNCTION DATA CRC CHECK END

T1-T2-T3-T4 T1-T2-T3-T4
8 BITS 8 BITS n x 8 BITS 16 BITS
(DELAY) (DELAY)
ASCII Mode
Each 8-bit byte is sent as two ASCII characters. Main advantage is up to 1 sec between characters without error.
Coding System: Hexadecimal, ASCII characters 0-9, A-F

One hexadecimal characters contained in each ASCII character of the message
Bits per Byte 1 start bit, 7 data bits, LSB 1ST, 1 bit for odd/even parity, 1 stop bit
Parity=none is not supported by the VISIONr implementation of Modbus ASCII
Error Check Field Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC)
Frame Format
START ADDRESS FUNCTION DATA LRC CHECK END

2 CHARS

Modbus address mapping and application documents for the following are available on request.
• VISIONr modbus mapping document

• Poll/Program SER settings for events recording
• Retrieve sequence for Disturbance Traces
• Downloading trip history
• Downloading SER event history
• Time synchronisation over modbus
