Communication Protocols

The three independent communications ports along with optional support for Modbus™and DNP 3, and ASCII protocols provide easy access to integrating the protection, control, metering, status reporting, and monitoring functions into a substation automation system. Basler’s BE1-1051 relay also offers the option of GOOSE protocol, while the BE1-700 series offers BESTnet.

DNP 3 Protocol
Basler Electric’s implementation of DNP (Distributed Network Protocol) V3.00 is fully compliant with DNP V3.00 Subset Definition Level 2. As a user, verification testing offers reassurance of the interoperability of certified DNP 3 products. Being able to easily integrate IEDs with a master or data concentrator on multi-drop RS485 networks reduces costs by eliminating the need for port switches and/or communications processors.

Basler Electric multifunction relays have been certified by an independent testing service. Testing reports are available for download:

Modbus Protocol
Modbus protocol was developed by Modicon for use in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

Modbus communications use a master-slave technique in which only the master can initiate a transaction. This transaction is called a query. When appropriate, a slave device responds to the query. When a Modbusmaster communicates with a slave, information is provided or requested by the master.

Modbus has gained a high level of popularity for IED implementation. For more information, download the Modbus protocol manual for the:

ASCII Protocol
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It consists of a set of codes used to represent letters, numbers, control characters, and a few symbols.

ASCII data is in wide use when communicating with off-the-shelf terminal emulation programs such as ProComm Plus, Windows Terminal or Hyperterminal. Data can be sent and received from IEDs using readable pneumonic words.

For details on setup, download PC-COM01, an application note on enabling ASCII communication with a relay via Windows95™ Hyperterminal.

Compatible Communications - the BE1-1051

The BE1-1051 Overcurrent Protection System a full-featured feeder protection, monitoring, and control system offers a BESTNet option using TCP/IP as its core protocol – making it compatible not only with the vast majority of utility and industrial intranets, but also with the worldwide internet.

The BE1-1051 also offers the GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented System Event) protocol as part of its Ethernet option. GOOSE provides peer-to-peer communications between any number of relays. GOOSE is an open standard that is part of the new IEC61850 protocol – the successor to UCA2.0. GOOSE offers several advantages over the proprietary serial-port based peer-to-peer schemes offered by several other relay manufacturers.
