SECTION 5 • BESTLOGIC PROGRAMMABLE

LOGIC

GENERAL

Basler Electric Standard Trip_logic (BESTlogic) is a flexible and user-friendly programming language for

controlling specific BE1-BPR relay outputs based on combinations of inputs, timers, and outputs. It is not

necessary to change logic circuits in the relay hardware to meet changing needs in your system

environment. Just change the existing logic scheme or create an entire new one using BESTlogic.
Each logic scheme is given a unique name (one to eight characters). The operating characteristics of

each contact input, fault detector (analog input) and timer can be customized based on the application

requirements. Each output is then defined using simple Boolean logic equations with the inputs, outputs,

and timers used as logic variables. The logic defines how each internal functional block operates and how

the blocks are internally connected to achieve the desired output. The unique logic name enables the

operator to change schemes and still be confident that the functions are correct without having to check

the individual equations associated with the logic.
Parameters that do not affect the basic operation or the internal connections of the logic, such as fault

detector pickup settings or timer delay settings, are programmed separately from the logic. These are

programmed settings and a new logic name is not required to change these parameters.
Relay response time is controlled by the internal sample A/D converter (ADC) rate of 12 samples per

cycle. At 60 hertz, the sample interval is 1.389 milliseconds. At 50 hertz, the sample interval is 1.667

milliseconds. After each sample, the status of all inputs, timers, and other functions are updated and then

the output status is updated by evaluating logic equations associated with each output.
Standard BE1-BPR relays have three preprogrammed logic schemes in memory to configure the relay for

common breaker failure applications. Enhanced BE1-BPR relays have six preprogrammed logic

schemes. Not all features of these preprogrammed logics need to be used in order to use a logic scheme.

Typically, inputs and outputs can be disabled by simply leaving them disconnected. Unused CT inputs

should be shorted to minimize noise pickup.
If one of the preprogrammed logic schemes does not meet your needs, a new set of logic equations can

be made. This custom logic scheme is stored in nonvolatile EEPROM. This custom scheme may be

revised or changed completely many times, but only one custom scheme may be stored at one time.
To find out what schemes are in memory, use the LINFO command. Entering LINFO by itself will list the

preprogrammed logics stored in memory, with the first listing being the custom logic scheme stored in

EEPROM. If the LINFO command is followed by the name of one of these schemes, then all logic

equations associated with that logic name will be listed.
