1.2OVERVIEW 1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO 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
a) 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.

Figure 1–6: 650 CONCEPT BLOCK DIAGRAM
b) F650 SIGNAL TYPE
Contact Inputs/Outputs are digital signals.
CT and VT inputs: are signals coming from the inputs of current and voltage transformers, used for monitoring the power
system signals.
CAN Bus Inputs/Outputs: are signals associated to physical input/output contacts from independent modules connected to
the 650 unit via a CAN Bus.
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 are signals associated with transducers.

1.2 OVERVIEW 1 GETTING STARTED
11.2.3 COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURE
A dedicated serial port is used for communication between the main processor and the human-machine interface. The
serial connection provides great immunity against electromagnetic disturbances, thus increasing system safety.
All 650 units incorporate an RS232 (USB or DB9) serial port on the front of the relay. There is also a possibility to
incorporate up to two additional communication modules on the rear.
One of the modulesprovides 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 allows increasing up
to 100% the I/O capability, when 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.
Available Options are:
Table 1–2: REAR ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS BOARD 2
For options C and D it is required to 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. Starting from the version 7.00 the following
options are available.
Finally, internal communication with input and output modules is performed via an internal CAN bus, independent from the
one used for remote CAN BUS I/Os. This fact provides increased communication speed, as well as the possibility of
acknowledgement of modules, abnormalities, etc. As this is a serial port supporting a communications protocol, it provides
extraordinary immunity against external or internal disturbances.
