Chapter 2: Product description
Product descript ion
This chapter outlines the product, order codes, and specifications.
2.1 Product description
The L60 Line Phase Comparison System is part of the Universal Relay (UR) series of products. It provides a simple phase-
comparison principle successfully employed by analog and static relays for many years, along with the significant
advantages of a modern microprocessor-based relay. The phase comparison element performs the following calculations:
• Samples and filters three-phase AC currents at a rate of 64 samples per cycle
• Computes sequence components of the current
• If two CT/VT modules are employed for breaker-and-a-half applications, the relay sums up two currents and performs
the breaker-and-the-half logic calculations
• Forms a composite signal from current components according to a user-defined setting
• Forms local positive and negative squares from the composite signal sent to remote terminal and used locally along
with the channel delay value
• Samples received from remote terminal squares 64 samples per cycle measuring magnitude of the pulse voltage
• Processes received samples to compensate for asymmetry and distortions in the signal
• Detects fault condition with the fault detector
• Compares coincidence of local and remote squares which indicate the presence of internal or external faults
• Detects transient conditions to block the phase comparison function
All processed signals, including transmitted and received pulses, are available in oscillography for commissioning,
maintenance, and analysis. The L60 integrates received pulses on a sample-per-sample basis, similar to the analog phase-
comparison principle, making the relay exceptionally robust on noisy channels. All permissive and blocking schemes, as
well as single and dual phase comparison, are incorporated into a single protection element and can be selected with a
relay setting. The L60 supports two and three-terminal applications, can be used for single- and three-pole tripping
applications, and supports breaker-and-a-half applications. Multiple backup functions include three-zone phase and
ground distance, directional overcurrent, pilot schemes, and current and voltage elements.
Control features include synchrocheck, autoreclosure, and control for two breakers. Monitoring features include CT failure
detector, VT fuse failure detector, breaker arcing current, disturbance detector and continuous monitor.
Diagnostic features include an event recorder capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events, oscillography capable of
storing up to 64 records with programmable trigger, content, and sampling rate, and data logger acquisition of up to 16
channels, with programmable content and sampling rate. The internal clock used for time-tagging can be synchronized

with an IRIG-B signal, using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) over the Ethernet port, or using the Precision Time
Protocol (PTP). This precise time stamping allows the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events
can also be programmed (via FlexLogic™ equations) to trigger oscillography data capture that can be set to record the
measured parameters before and after the event for viewing on a computer. These tools significantly reduce
troubleshooting time and simplify report generation in the event of a system fault.
Several options are available for communication. An RS232 port (USB port with the graphical front panel) can be used to
connect to a computer to program settings and monitor actual values. The rear RS485 port allows independent access by
operating and engineering staff. It can be connected to system computers with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. All serial ports
use the Modbus RTU protocol. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is supported on the RS485 interface. IEC 60870-5-103, DNP,
and Modbus cannot be enabled simultaneously on this interface. Also only one of the DNP, IEC 60870-5-103, and IEC
60870-5-104 protocols can be enabled at any time on the relay. When the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is chosen, the RS485
port has a fixed even parity and the baud rate can be either 9.6 kbps or 19.2 kbps. The 100Base-FX or 100Base-TX Ethernet
interface provides fast, reliable communications in noisy environments. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus/
TCP, TFTP, and PTP (according to IEEE Std. 1588-2008 or IEC 61588), and it allows access to the relay via any standard web
browser (UR web pages). The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port. The Ethernet port also supports
the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) of IEC 62439-3 (clause 4, 2012) when purchased as an option.
Secure Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) is supported with software options.
Settings and actual values can be accessed from the front panel or EnerVista software.
The figures show typical two-terminal and three-terminal applications.

2.2 Security
The following security features are available:
• Password security — Basic security present by default
• EnerVista security — Role-based access to various EnerVista software screens and configuration elements. The
feature is present by default in the EnerVista software.
• CyberSentry security — Advanced security available using a software option. When purchased, the option is
automatically enabled, and the default Password security and EnerVista security are disabled.
2.2.0.1 EnerVista security
The EnerVista security management system is a role-based access control (RBAC) system that allows an administrator to
manage the privileges of multiple users. This allows for access control of UR devices by multiple personnel within a
substation and conforms to the principles of RBAC as defined in ANSI INCITS 359-2004. The EnerVista security
management system is disabled by default to allow the administrator direct access to the EnerVista software after
installation. It is recommended that security be enabled before placing the device in service.
Basic password or enhanced CyberSentry security applies, depending on purchase.
2.2.0.2 Password security
Password security is a basic security feature present by default.
Two levels of password security are provided: command and setting. Use of a password for each level controls whether all
users can enter commands and/or change settings.
Two types of connection security are provided: password entry from local or remote connection. Local access is defined as
any access to settings or commands via the front panel interface. This includes both keypad entry and the through a front
panel port. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear communications port. This
includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections. These two settings are on by default and apply to all users.
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the
corresponding connection password. If the connection is to the back of the L60, the remote password is used. If the
connection is to a front panel port, the local password applies. (These two local and remote password settings are not
shown the figure.)
Password access events are logged in the Event Recorder.

2.2.0.3 CyberSentry security
CyberSentry security is available using software options that provide advanced security services. When an option is
purchased, the basic password security is disabled automatically.
CyberSentry provides security through the following features:
• An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) client that is
centrally managed, enables user attribution, provides accounting of all user activities, and uses secure standards-
based strong cryptography for authentication and credential protection
• A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to UR device
operations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on the AAA server (that
is, Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer roles)
• Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security Information Event Management (SIEM)
systems for centralized cybersecurity monitoring
• Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the EnerVista software and UR devices
using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in Galois Counter
Mode (GCM) as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH and approved by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2 standards for cryptographic systems
CyberSentry user roles
CyberSentry user roles (Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Supervisor, Observer) limit the levels of access to various UR
functions. This means that the EnerVista software allows for access to functionality based on the user’s logged in role.
Example: Administrative functions can be segmented from common operator functions, or engineering type access, all of
which are defined by separate roles so that access of UR devices by multiple personnel within a substation is allowed.
One role of one type is allowed to be logged in at a time. For example, one Operator can be logged in but not a second
Operator at the same time. This prevents subsets of settings from being changed at the same time.
