1-2 F650 DIGITAL BAY CONTROLLER GEK-113000-AF
1.1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.1.1.1 General cautions and warnings
The following general safety precautions and warnings apply.
Follow the requirements of this manual, including adequate wiring size and type, terminal torque settings, voltage,
current magnitudes applied, and adequate isolation/clearance in external wiring from high to low voltage circuits.
Use the device only for its intended purpose and application.
Ensure that all ground paths are uncompromised for safety purposes during device operation and service.
Ensure that the control power applied to the device, the AC current, and voltage input match the ratings specified on
the relay nameplate. Do not apply current or voltage in excess of the specified limits.
Only qualified personnel are to operate the device. Such personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all safety
cautions and warnings in this manual and with applicable country, regional, utility, and plant safety regulations.
Hazardous voltages can exist in the power supply and at the device connection to current transformers, voltage
transformers, control, and test circuit terminals. Make sure all sources of such voltages are isolated prior to
attempting work on the device.
Hazardous voltages can exist when opening the secondary circuits of live current transformers. Make sure that
current transformer secondary circuits are shorted out before making or removing any connection to the current
transformer (CT) input terminals of the device.
For tests with secondary test equipment, ensure that no other sources of voltages or currents are connected to such
equipment and that trip and close commands to the circuit breakers or other switching apparatus are isolated,
unless this is required by the test procedure and is specified by appropriate utility/plant procedure.
When the device is used to control primary equipment, such as circuit breakers, isolators, and other switching
apparatus, all control circuits from the device to the primary equipment must be isolated while personnel are working
on or around this primary equipment to prevent any inadvertent command from this device.
Uses an external disconnect to isolate the mains voltage supply.
Figure 1-1: Front view of F650 unit
WARNING
Ensure that all connections to the product are correct so as to avoid accidental risk of shock
and/or fire, for example such as can arise from high voltage connected to low voltage terminals.
WARNING
LED transmitters are classified as IEC 60825-1 Accessible Emission Limit (AEL) Class 1M. Class 1M
devices are considered safe to the unaided eye. Do not view directly with optical instruments.
NOTICE
This product is rated to Class A emissions levels and is to be used in Utility, Substation Industrial
environments. Not to be used near electronic devices rated for Class B levels.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 1.1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES
GEK-113000-AF F650 DIGITAL BAY CONTROLLER 1-3
1.1.1.2 Communication board withdrawal/insertion
The modular design of the relay allows for the withdrawal and insertion of the communication module.
Figure 1-1: Module withdrawal/insertion shows the location of communication modules on the rear part of the relay.
Qualified personnel must carry out the insertion or extraction of the communication boards only after disconnecting the
relay auxiliary voltage and ensuring that all the rear terminals are potential free.
Communication boards are installed on the rear of the unit, with upper port reserved for the asynchronous
communications board and CAN bus, and the lower port for the ETHERNET board. (The Ethernet module can be withdrawn
or inserted only in models with Rear Ethernet Communication Board 2: "B", "C", "D" or "E". For the remaining options,
Ethernet communications are included in the main CPU).
Figure 1-1: Module withdrawal/insertion
WARNING
MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION SHALL ONLY BE PERFORMED BY DULY QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL. FOR PERSONAL SECURITY PURPOSES, BEFORE ACCOMPLISHING ANY
WITHDRAWAL OR INSERTION OPERATION, THE RELAY MUST BE POWERED OFF AND ALL THE REAR
TERMINALS MUST BE POTENTIAL FREE. THE RELAY MUST BE GROUNDED USING THE REAR
GROUNDING SCREW.
Before performing any of these actions, control power must be removed from the relay and all the rear terminals must
be potential free. 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.
WITHDRAWAL: Loosen the small screws that keep the faceplate in place and extract the module.
INSERTION: Insert the module and press it firmly in the case, until it is completely fixed. After this, bolt the faceplate
screws and replace the control power. Check that the relay is fully operative.
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage to the relay, connected equipment or personnel whenever these
safety rules are not followed.

1.1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.1.1.3 Magnetic module terminals
The transformer module for the VTs and CTs is already connected to a female connector screwed to the case. The current
inputs incorporate shorting bars, so that the module can be extracted without the need to short-circuit the currents
externally. It is very important, for safety reasons, not to change or switch the terminals for CTs and VTs.
Figure 1-1: Rear view of F650 unit
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage of the relay, connected equipment or personnel whenever
these safety rules are not followed.

1.2 OVERVIEW CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.2 Overview
1.2.1 Introduction to the 650 family of relays
The GE 650 family relay is a new generation of digital and multifunction equipment that is easily incorporated into
automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels.
1.2.2 Hardware architecture
1.2.2.1 F650 basic design
The 650 is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The 650 family can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming
device, or another 650 device.
The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as
programming logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
Input Elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The 650 isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output Elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital signals that can be used to
control field devices.

1.2.2.2 F650 signal type
Contact Inputs/Outputs: Digital signals.
CT and VT inputs: Signals coming from the inputs of current and voltage transformers, used for monitoring the power
system signals.
Remote CAN Bus Inputs/Outputs: Signals associated with physical input/output contacts from a Remote Digital Input/
Output Module (CIO) connected to the 650 unit via the CAN Bus existing in options X, Y, Z, C and M for rear serial
communication board 1.
PLC: Programmable Logic Controller. Control module that enables the unit configuration (assignment of inputs/outputs)
and the implementation of logic circuits.
Protection Elements: Relay protection elements, for example: Overcurrent, overvoltage, etc.
Remote inputs and outputs: Provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote devices using IEC
61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.
Analog Inputs: Signals associated with transducers.
1.2.3 Communications architecture
A dedicated serial port is used for communication between the main processor and the human-machine interface. The
serial connection provides immunity against electromagnetic disturbances, thus increasing system safety.
All 650 units incorporate one RS232 (USB or DB9)serial port on the front of the relay. They can also incorporate up to two
additional communication modules on the rear.
One of the modules provides asynchronous serial communications, using different physical media (RS485 + cable remote
CAN bus I/O, plastic or glass fiber optic) depending on the selected model. The module incorporates two identical ports,
COM1 and COM2. The COM2 port is multiplexed with the front port. Additionally, this module may incorporate a port for
CAN bus communications, used for the connection to the remote CAN Bus I/O module. This feature increases the I/O
capability by up to 100% if the maximum number of I/Os available inside the relay is not enough for a specific application.
Available options are:
Table 1-1: Rear serial communications board 1
The other module provides Ethernet communications (ETH Port), using 10/100BaseTX (self-negotiable speed) or 100BaseFX
connectors, depending on the selected model. The most complete models include a double redundant 100BaseFX fiber
optic port. Redundancy is provided at the physical level, for options D and E; the unit incorporates internally duplicated
and independent controllers for extended system reliability and accessibility.

1.2 OVERVIEW CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
Available Options are:
Table 1-2: REAR ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS BOARD 2
For options C and D you must select the active physical media, by means of an internal selector inside the module. The
factory configuration for this selection is the 10/100BaseTX port. For firmware versions 7.00 and above, the following
options are available:
Finally, internal communication with input and output modules is performed via an internal CAN Bus, independent of the
one used for remote CAN Bus I/Os. This provides increased communication speed, and acknowledgement of modules,
abnormalities, etc. As this is a serial port supporting a communications protocol, it provides immunity against external or
internal disturbances.
