ASCII Command Communications

The BE1-700 relay has two independent communications ports for serial communications plus one
optional rear Ethernet port. A computer terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program such as
Windows HyperTerminal can be connected to any of the ports so that commands can be sent to the relay.
Communication with the relay uses a simple ASCII command language. When a command is entered via
a serial port, the relay responds with the appropriate action. ASCII command communication is designed
for both human-to-machine interactions and batch download type operations. The following paragraphs
briefly describe the command structure and discuss human-to-machine interactions and batch command
text file operations. The operation of the ASCII commands is described in detail in Section 11, ASCII
Command Interface
.

Command Structure

An ASCII command consists of a command string made up of one or two letters followed by a hyphen
and an object name. The first letter specifies the general command function and the second a sub-group.
The object name is the specific function for which the command is intended. A command string entered
alone is a read command. A command string followed by an equal sign and one or more parameters is a
write command. The general command groups are organized into five major groups plus several
miscellaneous commands. These commands are as follows:

C CONTROL. Commands to perform select before operate control actions such as tripping and closing

the circuit breaker, changing the active setting group, etc. Subgroups include S for Select and O for
Operate.

G GLOBAL. Perform global operations that do not fall into the other general groups such as password

security. Subgroups include: S for security settings.

M METERING. Read all real time metering values. This general command group has no subgroups.

P PROGRAM. Subgroup command to read or program a setting.

R REPORTS. Read and reset reporting functions such as time and date, demand registers, breaker

duty statistics, etc. Subgroups include: A for Alarm functions, B for Breaker monitoring functions, D
for Demand recording functions, F for Fault summary reporting functions, G for General information,
and S for sequence of events recorder functions.
