ABOUT YOUR NEW DDFR UNIT CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.2 About Your New DDFR Unit
1.2.1 Cautions and Warnings
Before attempting to install or use the DDFR unit, it is important that all DANGER and
CAUTION indicators in this manual are reviewed in order to prevent personal injury,
equipment damage and/or downtime. The above icons are used to indicate dangers,
cautions and notes.
The standard note icon emphasizes a specific point or indicates minor problems that may
occur if instructions are not properly followed.
The caution icon indicates that possible damage to equipment or data may occur if
instructions are not properly followed.
The danger icon provides users with a warning about the possibility of serious or fatal
injury to themselves or others.
1.2.2 About the DDFR in General
The Distributed Digital Fault Recorder (DDFR) you are about to set up, has been designed to
provide you with a convenient and economical way to keep track of electrical system
situations and problems using the latest in digital technology, by transferring readily
available data from the GE relays currently operating in your facility, so that it can be used
conveniently and effectively.
The DDFR is, in fact, a highly effective data management device.
1.2.2.1 Background
Enhancements to the fault and disturbance recording abilities of modern microprocessor
based protection relays has eliminated the need to install costly equipment whose sole
purpose is to record information about power system events. The DDFR is a substation-
hardened device built to protection relay standards that uses communications to retrieve
Fault, Disturbance and Sequence of Event records recorded in existing protection relays
and archive this critical data both locally and in a permanent enterprise network location.
Fault and disturbance information is retrieved and stored from the protection relays within
seconds of the file initially being recorded. Having this information quickly archived into a
permanent location eliminates the risk of the files being overwritten in the finite storage
space within the relay before users have had a chance to manually retrieve these files.
International Standards Compliant
When used with advanced protection relays such as the GE Multilin Universal Relay family,
the DDFR complies with most international standards requirements for fault recording
including:

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED ABOUT YOUR NEW DDFR UNIT
DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL FAULT RECORDER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3
• NERC - RFC-PRC-002-1
• IEEE
•NPCC
• ECAR Doc. #14
1.2.2.2 Data Recording
The DDFR detects that new information has been recorded in a relay and automatically
retrieves and archives this data. Information that can be archived from protection relays
includes:
• Transient Fault Records
• Sequence of Event Records
• Disturbance Records
Sequence of Event Record (SOE)
The DDFR retrieves the Event Records stored in protection relays distributed across a
substation and merges all of these Events into a Station-Wide Sequence of Event Record.
Connecting the protection relays to an IRIG-B time clock synchronizes the relay internal
clocks with 1 millisecond accuracy and enables the DDFR to create a Station-Wide Event
Record that is an exact representation of the sequence of operations that occurred in the
substation.
Transient Fault Records
Transient Fault Records (also known as Oscillography records) recorded in protection
relays are retrieved by the DDFR and stored in its internal memory space. All Transient
Fault Records are archived using a naming convention that makes it easy for users to
relate the Transient Fault records with a particular substation fault. Each record is stored
with a name that includes the exact date and time at which the record was initially
triggered. If the Transient Fault record was originally recorded in the relay as a COMTRADE
file, the DDFR stores this record in its native format; if the protection relay stores its record
in another format, such as a CSV file, the DDFR automatically converts this file into the
COMTRADE-1999 format so that the record can be analyzed using a standard COMTRADE
viewer.
Disturbance Records
Protection relays capable of recording Disturbance Records used for analyzing extended
or evolving power system disturbances such as Voltage Sags or Swells, are retrieved and
archived by the DDRF. All Disturbance Records are archived using a naming convention
that makes it easy for users to relate the Disturbance records with a particular power
system disturbance. Each record is stored with a name that includes the exact date and
time at which the record was initially triggered. All disturbance records are stored in
COMTRADE format.
Automatic Data Management
The DDFR is equipped with eight gigabytes of internal non-volatile memory that provides
storage for several months of fault and disturbance information inside the DDFR. The data
storage space available is constantly monitored by the DDFR to ensure that adequate
space is available for storing any new data recorded by the protection relays. The DDFR
has an automatic data clearing function that erases older stored data as the DDFR

4DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL FAULT RECORDER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ABOUT YOUR NEW DDFR UNIT CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
approaches its recording capacity. The DDFR erases this old data on a First-In-First-Out
basis so that newer fault information is available when required, for analysis by
engineering personnel.
Local Disturbance Analysis
Fault, Disturbance, and Sequence of Event Records archived in the DDFR can be viewed
and analyzed locally in the substation by communicating directly with the DDFR using the
EnerVista DDFR Setup Software. The DDFR Setup software includes an Event Record viewer
for analyzing the station-wide Sequence of Event record, and a powerful COMTRADE
viewer for analyzing the Transient Fault and Disturbance records.
1.2.3 Check the Contents of the Box
When you open the DDFR box, you should find:
• one DDFR unit
• one software disk (CD) containing the EnerVista DDFR Setup software.
• manual.
Note If there is any noticeable physical damage, or if any of the contents of the box are missing,
please contact GE Multilin immediately.
1.2.4 Using this Manual
This manual is designed with the assumption that you may or may not know about the
principles of DDFR usage or EnerVista software in general. If you know little about DDFR
usage, please read carefully what is written below, bearing in mind that GE Multilin is
available to fully support your questions about any aspect of the product.
If this is not the case, simply ignore those sections of the manual with which you are
familiar.
The manual is structured to guide you through the entire installation and configuration
process, from opening the box, to:
• setting up the software on your PC
• setting up the DDFR(s) on the Ethernet network
• configuring the DDFR settings
• physically connecting the associated relays
• configuring the associated relays for use with the DDFR(s)
• retrieving and viewing information transferred from your relays to the DDFR(s) and
into your computer.
Any actions you have to undertake during any part of the installation and configuration
processes, are indicated in the manual as follows:
ZOpen the box.
This makes it easier to separate what you must physically do, from the surrounding
product and process descriptions and explanations.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED ABOUT YOUR NEW DDFR UNIT
DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL FAULT RECORDER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5
1.2.5 The Physical DDFR Unit
Power Supply
Each DDFR is supplied in one of two power supply types:
• Low Voltage DC: 24 to 48 VDC
• High Voltage
• AC: 120 V to 230 V
• DC: 110 V to 250 V
FIGURE 1–1: DDFR Terminal Block
Please ensure, before connecting a DDFR to the power supply, that the unit you have in
front of you is compatible with the power supply in your facility.
LED Indicator Light
A single green LED is located on the front of the DDFR. This LED indicates only that power
is being supplied to the DDFR unit.
Ethernet Communications Port
A single Ethernet communications port is provided at the rear of the DDFR. This port can
be used for "fresh" setup and/or configuration of a new DDFR (see chapter 3), but its main
function is to act as the sole communication port for data from all the relays in your facility
to the DDFR unit and from this unit to your computer. For examples of typical connections
from your relays to the DDFR unit (and your computer), see chapter 4.
In addition, you can communicate with any of your installed DDFR units via this Ethernet
port in order to configure or reconfigure any of them. This single port is able to process
these multiple inputs and outputs by connecting it to a port on an Ethernet switch such as
the GE MultiLink switch.
In short, the DDFR unit you have purchased, offers you the ability to configure your entire
range of (DDFR-supported) relays and conveniently view and archive the fault information
accumulated within these relays from the computer keyboard on your desk.

CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED INSTALLING THE ENERVISTA DDFR SETUP PROGRAM
DISTRIBUTED DIGITAL FAULT RECORDER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7
1.3 Installing the EnerVista DDFR Setup Program
The DDFR is configured using the EnerVista DDFR Setup software installed on an external
PC or laptop. All configuration and interrogation of each DDFR is performed using this
software package. Other EnerVista configurations - those specific to each of the relays in
your facility - are unaffected by the EnerVista DDFR Setup software. The EnerVista relay
software can be used, as always, online or offline, to configure, monitor, maintain and
troubleshoot the operation of individual relay functions.
The EnerVista DDFR Setup software operates as follows:
• The EnerVista DDFR Setup program communicates to the DDFR through the
Ethernet port located on the DDFR (see section 1.1.5 above). If the DDFR is
connected to an Ethernet Switch, the EnerVista Setup software simply
communicates through one of the Ethernet ports on this switch to the DDFR.
• The EnerVista DDFR Setup Software has the same look and feel as the standard
EnerVista setup programs used for programming GE Multilin protection relays such
as the UR and SR families. See Figure 1-2 below.

SETTING UP COMPUTER-TO-DDFR ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.4.2 Making the Initial Setup Connection
Once the EnerVista DDFR software is installed, but before you attempt to configure the
DDFR settings, the software has to recognize the existence of each of your new DDFRs.
There are two ways of doing this:
Method 1:
ZConnect each DDFR directly to a switch on your Ethernet network
and follow the procedure below (section 1.4.3) for each DDFR unit
as you connect each unit.
If you have several DDFR units to set up, connect them and set up
their Ethernet Communications parameters one at a time.
Method 2:
If you prefer to place your DDFR units on the bench or desktop and configure each directly
from your computer,
ZConnect each DDFR unit to your computer individually, using a
small, local, PC-type Ethernet switch box.
ZSet up its Ethernet communication parameters according to the
procedure shown below (section 1.4.3).
In either of the above cases, once each DDFR is set up to communicate, you can
immediately continue to configure the settings for that DDFR. See Chapter 3 for details.
Alternatively, you may want to set up all of your DDFRs to communicate, and connect
them to your main network before starting to configure your DDFR settings.
1.4.3 Using the EnerVista DDFR Communication Setup Screens
ZConnect a single DDFR to your Ethernet network using one of the
methods indicated above.
Ensure that the Ethernet cables are securely attached to both your
computer and the Ethernet switch.
ZOpen the main EnerVista DDFR Setup screen by going into the GE
Power Management folder in your computer Start menu.
