1. RECEPTION, HANDLING, INSTALLATION
1.1. Unpacking
Relays must only be handled by qualified personnel and special care must be taken to protect
all of their parts from any damage while they are being unpacked and installed. The use of
good illumination is recommended to facilitate the equipment visual inspection. The facility must
be clean and dry and relays should not be stored in places that are exposed to dust or humidity.
Special care must be taken if construction work is taking place.
1.2. Reception of relays

It is necessary to inspect the equipment at the time it is delivered to ensure that the relays have
not been damaged during transport.
If any defect is found, the transport company and FANOX should be informed immediately.
If the relays are not for immediate use, they should be returned to their original packaging.
1.3. Handling electronic equipment

Relays contain an electronic component that is sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
Just by moving, a person can build up an electrostatic potential of several thousand volts.
Discharging this energy into electronic components can cause serious damage to electronic
circuits. It is possible that this damage may not be detected straight away, but the electronic
circuit reliability and life will be reduced. This electronic component in the equipment is well
protected by the metal housing, which should not be removed as the equipment cannot be
adjusted internally.
If it is necessary to disassemble the electronic component, this must be carried out with care
and contact with electronic components, printed circuits and connections must be avoided to
prevent an electrostatic discharge that could damage one of the components. If the electronic
components are stored outside the metal housing, they must be placed in an antistatic
conductive bag.
If it is necessary to open a module, care must be taken to preserve the equipment reliability and
the duration of the life cycle as designed by the manufacturer by taking the following actions:
 Touch the housing to ensure that you have the same potential
 Avoid touching the electronic components and handle the module by its edges.
 Remember that everyone who handles the module must have the same potential.
 Use a conductive bag to transport the module.
For more information about how to handle electronic circuits, consult official documents such as
the IEC 147-OF.
www.fanox.com
1.4. Installation, commissioning and service
The personnel in charge of installing, commissioning and maintaining this equipment must be
qualified and must be aware of the procedures for handling it. The product documentation
should be read before installing, commissioning or carrying out maintenance work on the
equipment.
Personnel should take specific protection measures to avoid the risk of electronic discharge
when access is unlocked on the rear part of the equipment.
In order to guarantee safety, the crimp terminal and a suitable tool must be used to meet
isolation requirements on the terminal strip. Crimped terminations must be used for the voltage
and current connections.
It is necessary to connect the equipment to earth through the corresponding terminal, using the
shortest possible cable. As well as guaranteeing safety for the personnel, this connection
allows high frequency noise to be evacuated directly to earth.
The following checks must be performed before the equipment is supplied:
 The rated voltage and polarity.
 The power rating of the CT circuit and the integrity of the connections.
 The integrity of the earth connection.
The equipment must be used within the stipulated electrical and environmental limits.
Note referred to current transformer circuits: Do not open a live CT secondary circuit. The high
voltage produced as a result could damage the isolation and threaten lives.
1.5. Storage
If the relays are not going to be installed immediately, they must be stored in a dust- and
humidity free environment after the visual inspection has been performed.
1.6. Recycling
Before recycling the equipment, the capacitors should be discharged through the external
terminals. All electrical power sources should be removed before performing this operation to
avoid the risk of electrical discharge.
This product must be disposed of in a safe way. It should not be incinerated or brought into
contact with water sources like rivers, lakes, etc…

3. DESCRIPTION
3.1. Introduction
Worldwide, the energy sector is currently undergoing a profound change as a result of high
levels of energy demand; more distribution lines and advanced supervision systems are
required. Given the need for creating intelligent infrastructure, FANOX has developed the SIA
family of products to carry out this function.
The family of SIA relays is designed to protect the secondary transformation and distribution
centres of electricity grids. Protection features include protection against instantaneous and
inverse time overcurrent (for the phases and the neutral), and it also has external trip support
(temperature, pressure, etc.) depending on the characteristics of each model.
The protection functions can be enabled selectively by using both the front panel and the
communications links to the SIcom program, allowing for precise coordination with other
equipment.
One of the most significant features of the SIA-C is that it eliminates the need for maintenance,
as it uses the operating current to power itself. Additional benefits include that all of the models
have been designed to be supplied from an external battery. This is aimed at facilitating event
management and the commissioning of centres, as well as allowing it to operate properly under
adverse conditions.
3.2. Description
The SIA-C equipment is a protection relay designed for secondary distribution. One of its main
characteristics is the ability to power itself by using the cell current. Standard 5A or 1A secondary
current transformers are used for this, which allow self power with
lower levels of current.
The equipment is operative with 0.2 times the secondary rated single-
phase current and with 0.1 times the secondary rated three-phase
current; in other words, the equipment powers itself with 1 A of
single-phase current and with 0.5 A of three-phase current with the
SIA-C5* models, and the equipment powers itself with 200 mA of
single-phase current and with 100 mA of three-phase current with the
SIA-C1* models. It is important to consider that, despite of the device
starts up with those values and trip output is activated in those
values, to activate the other optional outputs (phase trip and neutral
trip) it is needed a minimum of 0.350 times the secondary rated
single-phase current and a minimum of 0.170 times the secondary
rated three-phase current.

The equipment is maintenance free when this type of power supply is used, as it does not
require auxiliary power components (batteries). As a result, it is especially useful in any centres
were auxiliary power is not available or cannot be guaranteed. As well as using the current to
power itself, it can also be powered from a 12V battery and an auxiliary power source (optional,
can be selected for each model).
It has phase and neutral overcurrent protection functions. As an option, which can be selected
for each model, it can be fitted with a direct trip input, normally connected to a bimetallic contact
which is activated by excess heat and is fitted to the power transformer. This serves as a backup
to the overcurrent functions.
The SIA-C equipment comes in a metal box with galvanic isolation on all of its measurement, trip
or power supply inputs and outputs (with the exception of ports for communications and the
battery power supply, as these are sporadic connections). This allows the equipment to have the
best possible level of electromagnetic compatibility, both in terms of emission of, and immunity
from, radiated and conducted interference. These levels are the same as those established for
primary substations.
The equipment has an LCD with two lines and twenty columns and a membrane keyboard with
six buttons. These allow the equipment status, the current measurements in the primary winding
and the events or incidents associated with the equipment to be seen, and adjustments to be
made to the protection criteria. These events are saved in a non-volatile memory to keep them
when there is no power. Models with mechanic F and G have LCD backlight and it is neccessary
a current of 0.35xIn (1 phase) or 0.17xIn (3 phase) to achieve the backlight.
There are up to three bistable magnetic indicators (depending on model) on the front of the SIA-
C equipment. These indicate the causes of trips, and continue to give a signal even if the relay
loses power. It is also fitted with up to three LED indicators. These leds are configurugable
thanks to the PLC.
As regards signalling, there are four possibilities to choose from when the model is selected:
 Without inputs or outputs
 2 outputs
 2 inputs and 2 outputs
 3 outputs
These signalling outputs and inputs can be configured thanks to the programmable logic (PLC).
By default the configuration is as follows:
Options Default configuration
2 outputs Output 2 : Overcurrent trip

Output 3: Earth fault trip
2 outputs and 2 inputs Trip bus configuration
3 outputs Output 2 : Overcurrent trip

Output 3: Earth fault trip
Output 4: Watchdog
www.fanox.com
The equipment has storage for up to 1024 events, allowing any registered incidents to be
analysed. RTC (Real Time Clock) is available for all SIA-C models.
In order to facilitate the analysis of events, it is fitted with 20 fault reports (16 events per fault
report). Fault reports start when some of the protection functions picks-up and it finishes when
any of the mentionated functions trips.
Current measurements are performed using RMS values, with an accuracy of 2% on a band of
±20% over the nominal current and 4% over the rest of the range.
The equipment has two communication ports: a front port (RS232) and an optional rear port
(RS485). The RS232 port allows a PC to be connected, which can be used to monitor the
equipment using the SICom communications program (supplied by FANOX). A 12V battery can
also be used to power the equipment through this front port by using the adapter (KITCOM). The
rear port RS485 allows the equipment to be integrated as part of a system (SCADA). The
Modbus RTU protocol is used in both ports. Setting-up a session allows four levels of access to
be set up with passwords that can be configured by the user.
The protective functions provided, easy-to-use interface, low amount of maintenance and simple
integration make the SIA-C a precise and practical solution for protecting both industrial and
public electrical grids and transformation and distribution centres. It even provides these
protective functions in situations where auxiliary power sources are not available or not reliable.
The protection offered by the SIA-C against earth faults is sensitive enough to be used in electric
systems where the earth fault current is low. It can be set to 0.1 times the rated neutral current
and, depending on the model, the rated neutral current can go as low as 0.1 A.
Due to the installation cubicle space of SIA-C equipments, some different mechanics have been
developed for the same equipments. Mechanics A, D, E, G and F were developed with cubic size
and mechanics type B and C have been currently designed. In these last mechanics the flatness
takes precedence, being the depth of the equipment from the front to the border of the terminals
100,75 mm. Mechanics type B and C are exactly the same in terms of external dimensions.
Mechanics type B introduces one magnetic indicator and mechanics type C introduces three
magnetic indicators. Mechanics type D introduce one magnetic flag. Mechanics type E and G are
exactly the same in terms of external dimensions (more compact than mechanic D). Mechanics
type G introduce one magnetic indicator and mechanics type E introduces three magnetic
indicators. Besides, mechanic A introduce three magnetic indicator and it is withdrawable and
mechanic F introduce 3 magnetic indicators and it is compact and withdrawable.

4.2. 50P Function . Phase instantaneous overcurrent

This protection function can be set by using three parameters:
Function Description Minimum Maximum Step Unit Default
50P_1 Phase instantaneous overcurrent
(*) 50P_2 Permission - - Yes/No - No
Tap 0,10 30,00 0,01 I nominal 5,00
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 S 0,2
The operating time is independent from the operating current flowing through the equipment, so
if the phase current exceeds its predetermined value for an equal or greater amount of time than
this preset value, the protection function activates (trips) and does not reset itself until the value
of the phase drops below the point of current pick-up.
The function activates at 100% of the preset input, and deactivates at 95%. The reset is
instantaneous.
The accuracy of the operating time is equal to the preset time ±30ms or ±0.5% (whichever is
greater).
(*) NOTE: 50P_2 available in SIACXXXXXXXXXXA model.
www.fanox.com
4.3. 50/51P Function. Phase inverse time overcurrent
This protection function can be set by using five parameters:
50/51P Phase inverse time overcurrent
Permission - - Yes/No - No
Curve - - (1*) - IEC Extremely Inverse
Dial 0,02 1,25 0,01 - 1,25
Tap 0,10 7,00 0,01 I nominal 1,00
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 s 0,2
(1*) IEC Inverse, IEC Very inverse, IEC Extremely inverse, IEC Long time inverse, Defined time, ANSI Inverse, ANSI
Very inverse, ANSI Extremely inverse
If the option "Defined time" is selected for the curve setting, the unit behaves like an
instantaneous overcurrent unit. In this case, the unit operating time is set by the parameter
"Operating time".
If a curve (inverse, very inverse or extremely inverse) is selected for the curve setting, the
operating time depends on the curve, dial and tap settings.
If the unit operates with defined time, the function is activated at 100% of the set tap value, and it
deactivates at 95%.
If the unit operates with a curve, the function is activated at 110% of the set pick-up value, and it
deactivates at 100%.
The reset is instantaneous in both cases.
The activation time is accurate to ±5% or ±30ms, whichever is greater, of the theoretical
activation time.
The curves used are IEC 60255-151 or ANSI-IEEE, which are described in the "Curves" section.
4.4. 50N/G Function. Neutral instantaneous overcurrent.

This protection function can be set by using three parameters:
50N/G_1 Neutral instantaneous overcurrent
(*)50N/G_2 Permission - - Yes/No - No
Tap 0,10 30,00 0,01 Inominal 1,00
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 s 0,2
The operating time is completely independent from the operating current that flows through the
equipment, so if the neutral current exceeds its predetermined value for an equal or greater
amount of time than this preset value, the protection function activates (trips) and does not reset
itself until the value of the neutral drops below the point of current pick-up.
The function activates at 100% of the preset input, and deactivates at 95%. The reset is
instantaneous.
The accuracy of the operation time is equal to the preset time ±30ms or ±0.5% (whichever is
greater).
(*) NOTE: 50N/G_2 available in SIACXXXXXXXXXXA model
www.fanox.com
4.5. 50/51N/G Function. Neutral inverse time overcurrent.
This protection function can be set by using the following parameters:
50/51N/G Neutral inverse time overcurrent
Curve - - (1*) - Extremely Inverse
Dial 0,02 1,25 0,01 - 1,25
Tap 0,10 7,00 0,01 I nominal 0,50
Operating time 0,02 300,0 0,01 s 0,2
If the option "Defined time" is selected for the curve setting, the unit behaves like an
instantaneous overcurrent unit. In this case, the unit operating time is adjusted by using the
parameter "Operating time".
If a curve (inverse, very inverse or extremely inverse) is selected for the curve setting, the
operating time depends on the curve, dial and pick-up settings.
If the unit operates as defined time, the function is activated at 100% of the set pick-up value,
and it deactivates at 95%.
If the unit operates with a curve, the function is activated at 110% of the set pick-up value, and it
deactivates at 100%. The reset is instantaneous in both cases.
The activation time is accurate to ±5% or ±30ms, whichever is higher, of the theoretical activation
time. The curves used are IEC60255-151 or ANSI-IEEEE, which are described in the "Curves"
section.
4.6. Function CLP. Cold Load Pickup

The settings of this function are as follows:
CLP Cold Load Pickup
Setting group 1 4 1 - 4
No Load time 0.02 300.00 0.01 s 15
Cold Load Time 0.02 300.00 0.01 s 15
The two time parameters have the following meaning:

 No Load Time: If the circuit has been open for less time than the setting, the Cold Load
Pickup function is not in working conditions.
 Cold Load Time: After the circuit has been closed, during this time the new setting group is
applied. After this time, the relay returns to the adjusted setting group.
www.fanox.com
The function operates according to the following automaton. The automaton consists of five
states, in three of those states the relay works with normal setting group (the table adjusted in
general settings), and in the other two, with the new settings group.
The relay uses the current level to determine the circuit breaker state (open or closed). If the
current is less than 10% of the rated level, it is understood that the line is open.
The relay usually operates with the settings in their active table. When the circuit breaker opens,
a timer “No Load Time” starts. After this time, the relay considers that the circuit breaker is open,
so the CLP function is in working conditions.
Once the circuit breaker is closed, CLP function picks-up and “Cold load time” starts to count.
During this time the relay will work with the new setting group regardless of the circuit breaker
situation, this is, without taking into account whether the circuit breaker is maintained closed or is
open.
When the setting group changed occurs, not all the protection functions change, only 50P,
50/51P, 50N/G and 50/51N/G functions are modified to new settings.
www.fanox.com
4.7. External trip
The equipment has a direct trip input, normally connected to a bimetallic contact fitted to the
power transformer. This serves as a backup to the overcurrent functions.
The input is operative from 0,35 times the single phase secondary nominal current. It allows the
connection of a bimetallic free potential contact. When this contact closes, it activates the input.
This input is especially protected against magnetic noise.
4.8. Function 68. Trip bus protection function

Optionally, (selectable by model), SIA-C equipment is provide with two outputs and two inputs
which can be used for implementing a trip bus (inputs and outputs are configurable).
Trip bus Configuration:
FEEDER RELAY
Output 1 : startup of function 50P or 50/51P
Output 2: startup of function 50N/G or 50/51N/G
SUPPLY RELAY
Input 1: block the trip of functions 50P and 50/51P
Input 2: block the trip of functions 50N/G and 50/51N/G
It consists on implementing a trip bus using SIA-C relays. As you can see on the picture, there
are two relays with feeder functionality and one relay with supply functionality.
www.fanox.com
Relays with feeder functionality must activate the output 1 when detect the startup of function
50P or 50/51P and must activate the output 2 when detect the startup of function 50N/G or
50/51N/G.
Relays with supply functionality, block the trip of functions 50P and 50/51P when detect the
activation of input 1 and block the trip of functions 50N/G and 50/51N/G when detect the
activation of input 2.
The physical connection which is needed to perform is next: outputs 1 of feeder equipments
must be connected to the input 1 of the supply equipment and outputs 2 of feeder equipments
must be connected to the input 2 of the supply equipment.
Once the physical connections are made, logical signals must be configured to physical inputs
and outputs:
The pickup signals of the feeder relay should be connected to the outputs through an OR gate
and a PULSE operation. The adjusted time must be the time of feeder’s functions (time delay
setting), plus the trip holding time (in SIA-C this time is approximately 200 ms), plus the security
time (to ensure the signal has dropped off).
The PULSE operation provides a pulse signal that will block the supply functions enough time to
allow the feeder relay to trip, to open its breaker and to make the fault disapear. The pulse
operation guarantees that the output of the pulse will be activated the adjusted time, once the
input of the pulse is active, independently of the time the input remains active.
www.fanox.com
Tp = Time of the pulse (ms)
Tof = Time of operation of the feeder (ms)
Thf = Time of trip holding of the feeder (200ms)
ΔT = Security time (aproximately 40ms)
Tos = Time of operation of the supply (ms)
Ths = Time of trip holding of the supply (200ms)
Please, take into account that 50 and 51 functions keep the trip output activated during the
holding time (200ms), once the trip condition disappears.
The inputs of the supply relay should be connected to the blocking signals directly through an
OR.
www.fanox.com
Next, different cases will be described.
 The feeder and supply will trip their functions as they see the fault. Supply’s time of
operation is shorter than feeder’s time, so the feeder will open its breaker, making the
fault disappear, and it will block the supply trip output preventing the opening of the
supply’s breaker.
operation is larger than feeder’s time, so the feeder will open its breaker, making the fault
disappear, and block the supply function. The supply will not trip because the feeder
makes the fault disappear before its time of operation is finished.
www.fanox.com
operation is shorter than feeder’s time, so the supply function will trip but it will be blocked
by the feeder. When the feeder trips, it is not able to open its breaker so the supply will
trip once the block disappears since it can still see the fault.
operation is larger than feeder’s time, so the feeder will trip but it will not be able to open
its breaker. The feeder will block the supply the adjusted time, but in this case, the time of
operation of the supply is larger that this blocking time, so the supply will trip once its time
of operation finishes since it can still see the fault.

The serial number setting is read only. The rest of the settings can be changed either from the
HMI or through communications.
When the frequency is changed it is necessary to reinitialize the relay to ensure that the setting is
loaded correctly.
Trip level voltage parameter appears in all models, but only has sense in models for striker.
Every setting change involves the reset of the functions, activated or not.

4.10. Settings table
In SIACxxxxxx2xxxx, this is, the model with inputs:
In adaptation A, there are three settings tables. The settings table which is active at a specific
moment can be modified in two ways:
 Changing the active settings table. In the general group there is a setting which establishes
which table is active.
 By means of two inputs. To this end four possibilities are defined.
00 This situation is governed by the active table settings.
01 Table 1
10 Table 2
11 Table 3
In the zero position the active item is defined by the active table settings defined in the general
group. Regarding other options, regardless of that established by the settings, the inputs prevail
over the settings.
If the use of both inputs is not required, then one can be used, but depending on which is used,
operation can be done with table 1 or table 2.
In adaptation B there are four settings tables and one general table. The settings table which is
active at a specific moment can be modified in two ways:
 Changing the active Table settings. In the general group there is a setting which establishes
which table is active (table 1, table 2, table 3 or table 4).
 By means of two inputs. To this end four possibilities are defined.
00 This situation is governed by the active table settings.
01 Table 1
10 Table 2
11 Table 3
Table 4 is not possible to be selected through inputs, only through general settings.
In the zero position the active item is defined by the active table settings defined in the general
group. Regarding other options, regardless of that established by the settings, the inputs prevail
over the settings.
If the use of both inputs is not required, then one can be used, but depending on which is used,
operation can be done with table 1 or table 2.

4.13. Application examples
It is important to know that if both overcurrent protection functions (50 and 50/51), phase or neutral,
are enable, definite time function (function 50) must be more restrictive. So, if overcurrent fault
values are low, inverse time overcurrent function (function 50/51) must work, and if overcurrent fault
reaches a certain value, definite time overcurrent function will always work. This is because, when
overcurrent fault reach high values (I>>), it is necessary to be sure that trip is going to be
instantaneous to get that the element we are protecting, does not be damaged.
It is shown somo examples below:
APPLICATION EXAMPLE 1
Starting from the following information:
Line details:
 Transformation ratio of CT =100/1
 Primary current: Ip=100 A
50/51 function settings
 Curve type: IEC Inverse
 Dial: 0.05
 Tap: 1xIn
50 function settings
 Tap: 11xIn
 Operating time: 0.05 s
Figure 1. 50 and 50/51 IEC Inverse

If overcurrent fault is 11xIn=1100 Ap, IEC inverse curve defines a tripping value of 0.1425s (Figure1)
for 50/51 function. It is considered that this time is too high, so when current fault reaches 11xI n,
definite time overcurrent function will be work.

Line details:
 Curve type: ANSI Extremely Inverse
 Dial: 2.20
 Tap: 1xIn
 Tap: 14xIn
 Operating time: 0.1 s
Figure 3. 50 and 50/51 ANSI Extremely Inverse
If overcurrent fault is 24xIn=12000 Ap, ANSI Extremely inverse curve defines a tripping value of
0.376 s (Figure 3) for 50/51 function. It is considered that this time is too high, so when current fault
reaches 24xIn, definite time overcurrent function will be work. 50 function tap is adjusted at 14xIn so
definite time overcurrent function will trip when current fault is higher than 14xIn (50 function does not
wait to reach 24xIn)

APPLICATION EXAMPLE 3:
In this example it is explained what occurs when it is selected in curve type parameter “DEFINITE
TIME”. In this case, 50/51 function works as 50 function.
Starting from the following information
Line details:
 Curve type: Definite time
 Tap 1xIn
 Operating time: 5 s
 Tap: 15xIn
 Operating time: 1 s
Figure 5. Function 50/51 (as 50) and function 50.
If overcurrent fault is 15xIn=1500 Ap, Definite time curve defines a tripping value of 5 s (Figure 5) for
50/51 function. It is considered that this time is too high, so when current fault reaches 15xI n, definite
time overcurrent function will be work function 50).

A brief description of the general statuses is given below:
 Trip: The equipment has tripped.
 External trip: A trip has been caused by the activation of the external trip input.
 Trip power Error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem with the trip
output voltage.
 Measurement error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem in the
measurement block.
 Protection error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem in the
protection block.
 Ready bit agglutinates correct relay operation and has the following logic:
Operation
Ready
Mesaurement error
Protection error
Default settings
This bit is normally assigned to a contact with an NC contact

 Setting change: This activates when the settings are changed.
 Date-time set: This activates when the date-time are synchronised.
 Communication in local: this is the sum of the "MMI activity" and "Local
communication" bits from the "Local communication" status group
www.fanox.com
 Factory settings: the equipment is set to default settings and does not execute the
trip.
 Eeprom Error: The self-diagnosis algorithms have detected a problem in the eeprom
memory, which contains the settings.
 Eeprom change: this activates when the settings or configuration (user passwords)
are changed.
 Events error: Selfdiagnostic algorithms have detected an error on a stored event. This
bit is reset by deleting the events (from the HMI or by using communications).
 HMI activity: this state is active if any key has been pressed in the last 15 minutes.
 Local communication: this status becomes active if communications are detected in
the front RS232 port.
There are statuses that have an activation event associated with them, and other statuses have
two associated events: activation and reset. These events are registered in a circular memory
(buffer) with a capacity for up to 1024 events. The memory timestamp is accurate to 1
millisecond.
The events can be browsed from the HMI or by using communications. Reading the events
does not mean that they get deleted; they remain stored on the equipment. To delete the
events using the HMI, you have to go to the events menu and press and hold the "RESET" key
until the number of events reads 1, and this event is registered as "Events deleted". To delete
the events using communications, use the corresponding "delete events" command.
Events have the following structure:
Identify Unique event identifier: e.g.: 51_1.4 = 51P START
Value ON(Activated) /OFF(Deactivated): an event is generated for activations and deactivations

5.4. Fault reports

A fault report is a record of specific events in the period of time when a fault occurs. Event
recording can be filled with general events, which provide no information of a fault (settings
change, local pulsing, etc.) whereby it could be filled with general information, losing any fault
information. Therefore, having a specific events record for the fault period is of significant help
to resolve an incident.
This record has a 20 fault capacity, and each fault can store 16 events. At any moment, the
information of the twenty most recent fault reports is available. Each new fault report generated
is stored on the oldest, is lost, therefore, the information of this one.
When a pick-up occurs a new fault report is generated. When all start ups disappear it is
understood that the fault has disappeared.
Twenty fault reports are registered in non-volatile RAM memory. From the standby mode
screen, press the “OK” key to access the first line of menus. Use the “▲” and “▼” keys to
position the cursor over the “FAULT REPORTS” screen. They are also accessible pressing “◄”
from the standby menu. The next information can be checked:
 Date-time at which the fault started.
 List of all events occurred in the equipment during the fault.
To delete the fault reports buffer, position the cursor over the fault report menu and press and
hold the "RESET" key, until there is no fault reports. There will be an event "Fault reports
erased".
www.fanox.com
5.5. Self-diagnosis
Diagnostic algorithms are run while the equipment is being started up and continuously when
the relay is operating. This diagnostic is a preventative process to guarantee that the equipment
is in good operational condition.
As general considerations we can establish:
 Communications among the different processors are confirmed by corresponding
integrity checks. In case of having continued anomalies, the equipment would reset.
 Information data which is considered “setting parameters” is confirmed by the
corresponding checks. In this way, all the setting tables are doubled and the relay is
able to work with one broken table but not two.
 There is a mechanism of WatchDog, among the different main CPU’s. The loss of
activity for any of them would mean the equipment reset, remaining as an event in the
memory.
The following status bits are associated with this process:
Trip power error Problem in the voltage of trip circuit
Measurement error Problem in the measurement block
Protection error Problem in the protection block
Eeprom error Problem in the eeprom memory, default settings
On the other hand, “Settings by default” indicates that the relay is working with the settings
programmed in factory, being all the protection functions disabled.
5.6. Date-time synchronisation

All models of relay SIA-C are provided with a real time clock (RTC), which can be synchronized
by HMI or by communications. RTC keeps the data updated during at least 72 hours without
power supply. Charge time for the capacitor is 10 minutes.
This clock can be synchronized by two ways:
 By HMI: in this case, it is allowed to register the date and the time by using the keys on the
front panel. The relay will save a new event indicating the synchronization.
 Protocol. The behaviour is similar to HMI, the relay synchronizes date and time and saves a
new synchronization event.
www.fanox.com
5.7. Digital inputs
The SIA-C (depending on model) has 2 digital inputs that can be configured by the user. The
inputs can be configured from the HMI or through the SICom program.
Physical inputs are the equipment’s real inputs. The SIA-C has two physical inputs: Input 1 and
Input 2. These physical inputs can be associated with the logical states. The SIA-C has the
following logical states:
Logical states Description
Block 50P Function 50P and 51P trip lock
Block 50N Function 50N/G and 50/51N/G trip lock
Active settings group 1 Active table assignment
Active settings group 2 Active table assignment
5.8. Digital Outputs

Optionally (to be selected for each model), the SIA-C equipment has up to three cofigurable
outputs. By default, the configuration is as follows:
 Output 2: activates when a phase trip or an external trip occurs
 Output 3: activates when a neutral trip occurs
 Output 4: activates when the SIA-C is not READY
To get the outputs to be operative it is required the following current:

Single phase0.35xIn, this is 0.35 amperes
Three phase0.175xIn, this is 0.17 amperes
Once the relay detects these levels of current these outputs are instantaneously operative.
www.fanox.com
5.9. Programmable Logic Control & Digital Outputs
Firstly, it is defined the concept of physical input, physical output and logical signal.
Physical inputs are the real inputs of the device. SIA-C device has, depending on model, up to
two physical inputs (Input 1 and Input 2). These inputs are translated to two internal binary
states which later, can be assigned to logical signal to get a specific operation.
Physical outputs are the real outputs of the Device. SIA-C has a trip output (not configurable)
and up to three digital outputs (Output 2, Output 3 and Output 4). Besides, the relay has 3
configurable LEDS, which receive the same treatment as the physical outputs, some working
on output relays and others working on led diodes.
Logical signals are internal binary states result of the Programmable Logic Control. The logical
signal has a specific and defined meaning to be used by the rest functions of the Device.

account this configuration, because this output must adapt how it works to the associated trip
mechanism.
All the outputs (Leds, physical outputs and logical signals) are the result of a
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL which can be configured from HMI or from SICom
software.
For each output there is a LOGICAL GATE. It can perform a logical operation up to 4 binary
states to obtain other binary result.

5.10. 86 Function. Trip Output Lockout
This function is implemented through signaling outputs configuration. It is necessary to
configure one of the signalling output (phase trip, neutral trip or watchdog) as trip output and
after this configuration if OR4_LACTH is chosen the block of this output is being permited.
5.11. Test program

The SIA-C equipment has a test menu that can be used to check the operation of the signalling
components (LEDs and magnetic indicators), along with the trip output and the signalling
outputs. This check is operative regardless of the type of power that is used. This means that
the trip circuit and the signalling outputs can be tested with just a simple battery or a 12V
battery in a facility without electricity supply.
The following table shows the components that can be tested, along with their status depending
on whether they are activated or deactivated:

NOTE: Mechanic B, mechanic D and mechanic G have only one bistable called “trip”.
Mechanic F has two bistables one called “50/51P” and the other one called “50/51N” Other
mechanics introduce three bistables called “50/51P”, “50/51N” and External trip. The following
key sequence is used to gain access to the test menu: from the main menu, press the keys
“◄”, “▼”, and “►” in sequence and then press and hold the "OK" key until the "Test menu"
appears on the display. The test menu is accessed by pressing the "OK" key again, and the
“▲” and “▼” keys can be used to navigate through the different menu items. Each item can be
activated or deactivated by pressing "OK" on it (if the item is deactivated, it is activated by
pressing OK; if the item is activated, it is deactivated by pressing “OK”). Press the “C” key to
exit the test menu. In order to obtain more detailed information, the method for navigating the
menus is explained graphically in the keypad and display section.

5.12. Power supply
The SIA-C equipment is designed to be self-powered using the cell current. It can also be
powered by a 12V battery and, optionally (which can be selected for each model) by an
auxiliary power source (24 Vdc, 48 Vdc,110 Vac, 230 Vac or 85-265 Vac/dc).
5.12.1. Self Power: CT-5 A or CT-1 A, 0,2 x In rated in single phase

The SIA-C powers itself from the operating current through current transformers that are
connected to the line. Standard 5 A or 1 A secondary current transformers are used for this
purpose. Self power is achieved with very low levels of current: a minimum of 0.2 times the
rated single phase current, and this value is reduced to one half of the three-phase current. In
other words, the SIA-C equipment rated at 5 A current powers itself with 1 A of single phase
current and with 500 mA of three phase current, and the SIA-C rated at 1 A of current powers
itself with 200 mA of single phase current and with 100 mA of three phase current. It is
important to consider that, despite of the device starts up with those values and trip output is
activated in those values, to activate the other optional outputs (phase trip and neutral trip) it is
needed a minimum of 0.350 times the secondary rated single-phase current and a minimum of
0.170 times the secondary rated three-phase current. These CTs do not need a large number
of VAs, because SIA-C self-regulates the charge of its self-power over the CT. Therefore, for
low current levels, SIA-C is a charge which is continuously reduced when the current increases,
avoiding the CT saturation.
The equipment is maintenance free when this type of power supply is used, as it does not
require auxiliary power components (batteries). As a result, it is especially useful in any centres
where auxiliary power is not available or cannot be guaranteed, and the facilities require
protection with low levels of current.
There is a self-power transformer per each phase (3 self-power transformers), separating
current circuits completely. As a first idea, it could be possible using only two power supply
transformers but this possibility entails a disadvantage in case of single-phase faults; because
the transformer associated to the circuit which is not in fault at this moment, would cause a rise
of the level of self-power.
5.12.2. Battery power: 12V, with a KITCOM adaptor

The power comes from two AA batteries (IEC LR06) of 1.5 Volts placed at the bottom of the
device. The equipment has a small Dc/Dc power supply that raises the voltage till the required
12 volts to operate the equipment and that is plugged into the front RS232 communications port
(KITCOM).
The equipment has a micro-switch that feeds the power supply with a LED (ON) when the
voltage is adequate.
In addition to all the necessary to give the power supply, this device has two LED associated
with the Rx and Tx lines of communication, and they are used to verify that there is data traffic
between the PC and the SIA relay.
It is useful for cases like commissioning operations, discharges and repairs to the
transformation center.
Battery power guarantees the full operation of the equipment, including the trip. The possibility
of using external battery power, together with the possibility of activating the trip contact from
the test menu, allows the trip circuit to be tested before the transformation center is powered
up.
Using battery power does not block the RS232 communications port, as it can be used
simultaneously.
www.fanox.com
With alkaline batteries of 1700 mAh the Kitcom can supply the relay during 7 hours.
When the outputs are not activated the consumption of the SIAC plus the KITCOM is 220 mA,
so:
Without activated outputs1700 mAh/220 mA≈7 hours
When the outputs are activated the consumption of the SIAC plus the KITCOM is 385 mA, so:
With activated outputs (REGULAR TRIP)1700 mAh/385 mA≈4hours
To sum up, When the equipment is being powered from a KITCOM, it is capable of functioning
for 4 hours.
Battery supply kitcom working and connection
How to switch the KITCOM on:

To switch the KITCOM on it is necessary to move the switch situated on a side of the device.
Once the switch has been moved, a green led will inform the device is switched on:
www.fanox.com
How to connect the KITCOM to the relay:
The KITCom is connected to the relay through a RS232 port situated in the front of the relay.
Once the KITCom is connected, the relay will be switched on and a led on the right of the relay
(led battery) will blink indicating the relay is powered on through an external battery (KITCOM).
Battery power guarantees the full operation of the equipment, including the trip. This is, it will be
possible the navigation through all the menus, the change of settings, the erasing of events and
the management of the relay. Besides, the possibility of using external battery power, together
with the possibility of activating the trip contact from the test menu, allows the trip circuit to be
tested before the transformation center is powered up.
5.12.3. 230 Vac or 110 Vac, 50/60 Hz auxiliary power

The 230 Vac or 110 Vac auxiliary powers are taken from the transformation centre secondary
voltage. If this option is required, this needs to be selected in the list of models.
It is normal for transformation substations to have auxiliary voltage. This voltage is not
guaranteed, because a short-circuit may cause this auxiliary voltage loss. However, the
complete auxiliary voltage loss is produced in primary faults between phases, which are very
unlikely and generate a lot of current. In other words, for faults with low contribution of current,
altern auxiliary voltage keeps its level by supplying the equipment and for faults with auxiliary
voltage sag and high contribution of current, equipment self-power keeps it operative. The
continuous operation of SIA-C is guaranteed with the levels of self-power (0,2 x Inominal single
phase and 0,1 x Inominal three phase) and the auxiliary power supply 230Vac/110Vac.
www.fanox.com
5.12.4. 24 Vdc or 48 Vdc auxiliary power supply
The 24 Vdc auxiliary power is taken from the transformation centre RTU power supply. SIA-C
consumes approximately 200 mW in normal operation and 300 mW if SCADA communication
is active. The consumption is so reduced that it practically does not charge the transformation
substation battery of 24Vdc, being able to supply from it, with a total guarantee and without
being a loss of functionality with communications equipments because it will extract 20
mA/hour. Therefore, the equipment can be powered all the time, allowing it to be continually
monitored (status, measurements of transformation centre current, events,…).
The equipment is totally operational at this power and if a fault occurs, the trip time matches the
time setting. In a situation where the centre is deenergized, if this is energized and a fault
induced with the instantaneous function set at 20 ms, the trip time will be 20 ms.
It is also available a wider range of power supply (85-265 Vac/Vdc) if it is required (selection &
ordering data page 58 of this manual)
5.13. Equipment starting up time. Fault trip time during starting up of the
equipment.
SIA-C is an electronic equipment, which provides a starting up time (time from equipment
activation to operational capacity). Logically, it is a desirable to have a minimum time for the
starting up the equipment.
Depending on cases, it is a desirable to assess the necessity of a fast tripping time during the
start of the equipment. For example, if the installation provides short-circuit fuses, it makes no
sense a protection capable of tripping in extremely short times. In installations with guaranteed
auxiliary voltage, the equipment gets the energy for the trip in a very short time. It also depends
on the type of striker which will be used: there are strikers which need less energy for their
activation.
The most critical case is produced when there is self-power (without auxiliary voltage nor
battery) and low current faults.
In order to reduce to the maximum the SIA-C tripping time when there is a fault during the
energization of the equipment, the model SIACXXXXXXX2XX has developed (with non-volatile
RAM memory and fast startup).
The pickup time is 70 ms with fast startup and 140 ms with normal pickup.
To sum up, there are a lot of factors which influence on the starting up time: self power,
auxiliary voltage, tripping time…
Next, we provide the trip curves for the specified conditions:

5.14. Opening mechanism
The type of trip is selected by model: SIACXXXX0XXXXX, SIACXXXX1XXXXX and
SIACXXXX4XXXXX are provided with a polarized trip and models SIACXXXX2XXXXX and
SIACXXXX3XXXXX are provided with a simple trip:
Polarized. The trip is associated to a striker. The type of trip is a polarized trip, this is, the trip is
associated to a striker. There are a lot of models of strikers in the market, with different trip
energies, being for example 50 mJ (0,05W·s) and operation voltage of 6V, or 135 mJ (0,1W·s)
and operation voltage of 24V.
The opening mechanism is activated by means of a striker. The activation of the trip generates
a pulse train.
The Trip Voltage Level setting allows adjusting the trip voltage level required by the selected
striker. The default value is 17 Vdc, although there are several options:
 12 Vdc
 17 Vdc
 22 Vdc
 24 Vdc
The equipment will allow the trip when it gets the selected trip voltage, so if a lower level that
the required by the striker is adjusted, it may result on tripping without enough energy and not
activating the striker.
On the other hand, if a higher level that the required by the striker is selected, the activation of
the striker is guaranteed, however, the fault trip time during start-up may be increased. Fanox
encourages selecting the correct value of this critical setting and offers its expertise at any
doubt.
Simple. The equipment closes a free potential contact and there is an external element which
accumulates the trip energy, in capacitors or batteries. (Not used for relay power supply, only
for the trip).
The opening mechanism is activated by means of a striker or a coil. The activation of the trip
generates a pulse train. The equipment SIA-C solves the next situations during the activation of
the opening mechanism:
 Striker activation
 Coil activation by means of a free potential contact
 Coil activation by means of the TCM adapter
www.fanox.com
5.14.1. Striker activation
It requires the use of SIA-C models with trip output for striker (SIACXXXX0XXXXX,
SIACXXXX1XXXXX and SIACXXXX4XXXXXX).
The activation of the SIA-C trip output means that a capacitor has discharged on the output
terminals. This discharge of energy is sufficient to activate a striker that mechanically acts on a
mechanism to open the current circuit. The striker is connected directly to the SIA-C output,
which supplies sufficient power to activate it (24 Vdc – 135mJ).
The striker is a bistable device with a simple action. The striker shaft is moved by a spring. The
striker is activated by a polarized low-power electrical signal, supplied by the relay if a fault
occurs. Resetting the shaft to its position is done manually. Resetting the striker has to be done
in such a way as to guarantee that the opening mechanism is closed. This is normally done
manually.
As an example, the characteristics of the striker on the image are next:

 Travel:...........................................8m
 Strength of the spring:
 Start of travel: ...........................37 N
 End of travel:
............................18 N
 Response time:..............................4 ms
 Level of protection:.......................IP-40
Due to the existing variety in the market, it is important to check the voltage and the necessary
energy for its activation. Some examples are shown next:
If you have any doubt, please contact with Fanox.

5.14.2. Coil activation by means of a free potential contact
SIACXXXX2XXXXX and SIACXXXX3XXXXX models are provided with a free potential contact
like the trip output. Characteristics of output relay are next: 250Vac – 8A / 30Vdc – 8A.
5.14.3. Coil activation by means of TCM adapter

This equipment is connected to the relay trip output and
supplies the energy (30 J) that is necessary to energise
coil-activated opening mechanisms. TCM adapter is
combined with SIA-C models that are provided with free
potential contact. (Models SIACXXXX2XXXXX and
SIACXXXX3XXXXX).
It takes its charge from the transformation centre 230 Vac /
110 Vac voltage (depending on model), and it can operate
as a stand alone for up to three days in case of power fault.
On the connection diagrams suggested on this Manual, there are several examples of trip by
using TCM.

7. COMMUNICATION AND HMI
7.1. Communication
The SIA-C relay can communicate with a local computer through its front RS232 port, or
through a remote SCADA system through the rear RS485 port. The rear RS485 port is optional
and must be specified on the list of models.
7.2. Front communication. RS232

The RS232 communications port is installed on the front of the equipment. The connector that
is used is a DB-9 female – DCE. The protocol that is used is Modbus RTU (19200 -8bit – no
parity – 1 stop bit). The protocol map and documentation that are used are attached in an
appendix to this manual.
The adapter (KITCOM) can be connected to this communications port to supply the equipment
with an external battery. It should be pointed out that this port can be used simultaneously for
communication, even when the equipment is being powered by an external battery.
The PC earth should be connected to the same earth as the relay to avoid communication
problems.
7.3. Rear communication. RS485

An option exists to fit the SIA-C with a rear communications port RS485, which must be
specified when the model is selected.
The RS485 port output has three terminals (+,- and GND), located on the rear of the
equipment. The protocol that is used is Modbus RTU (19200 -8bit – no parity – 1 stop bit).
The protocol map and documentation that are used are attached in an appendix to this manual.
This port can be used to continuously monitor the equipment from a remote PC or SCADA
system. Up to 32 pieces of equipment can be connected to one bus; each piece with a different
Modbus address. The equipment Modbus address can be configured using the SIcom program.
To minimise communication errors as a result of noise, the use of a stranded and shielded
cable is recommended for the physical connection. All of the + terminals on one side, and all of
the - terminals on the other must be connected together in order to make the connection.
If a 3 strand cable is used for communication, the GND terminals must be connected to the
earth cable.
If a 2 strand cable is used for communication, the GND terminals must be connected to the
shielding. The shielding must be connected to the GND at only one point to avoid circular
currents.
Resistors should be used at each end if very long cables are used. The best solution for
avoiding reflection is to install resistors at both ends of the cable. The ohm value of these
resistors must be equal to the cable impedance value.
Fibre optics can be used in very aggressive environments, and they are connected by using the
corresponding converters.
If the relay is self-powered it is necessary a minimum current of 0.35xIn (single phase) or
0.17xIn (3-Phase) to communicate through RS485 port.

7.4. Bistable magnetic indicators
The front panel is equipped with 1, 2 or 3 bistable magnetic indicators (depending model list)
which indicate the general trip or the specific cause of the last trip, respectively. The indicators
remain in position even when the equipment looses power, so that the maintenance service can
see the cause of the trip even through the equipment is not powered.
Once they have been activated, it is necessary to manually reset them by pressing the
“RESET” button. The operation of the magnetic indicators can be checked from the test menu.
Magnetic indicator “50/51P” A trip has been caused by phase instantaneous

activated overcurrent or phase inverse time overcurrent
Magnetic indicator “50/51N” A trip has been caused by neutral instantaneous

Model 3 bistables
activated overcurrent or neutral inverse time overcurrent
“External trip” magnetic A trip has been caused by the activation of the direct
indicator trip input
Magnetic indicator “O/C A trip has been caused by phase inverse time

Model 3 bistables for Magnetic indicator “HS-O/C A trip has been caused by phase instantaneous time
withdrawable model TRIP” activated overcurrent
Magnetic indicator “E/F&HS A trip has been caused by neutral instantaneous

E/F TRIP” overcurrent or neutral inverse time overcurrent
Model 1 bistable Magnetic indicator “TRIP” There is a general trip wothout indicating the reason.
Apart from this signaling, the LCD will show the text <<PICK-UP>> when any protection
function is activated.

www.fanox.com
7.5. LED Indicators
The SIA-C front panel has up to three configurable LED pilot lights. By default, they show the
type of power being used: self-power, battery or auxiliary power (in model with mechanic G Led
1 shows, by default, if the relay is not Ready (watchdog )). The LEDs are switched off when the
power type that they represent is not active, and they blink when the power type that they
represent is active.
When these leds are configured by default, one of the LEDs should be blinking under normal
conditions. If they are all switched off, or some or all of them are permanently lit, this means
that the equipment is not operational.
By default, the configuration is as follows:
Mechanic SIACxxxxxxxxxG
LED 1 Watchdog: Activated (LED fixed) if it detects the relay is not ready
LED 2 Self power: Activated (LED blinking) if it detects the self-power current
LED 3 Battery: Activated (LED blinking) if it detects voltage from an external battery
www.fanox.com
Withdrawable model (with pocket for leds labels)
LED 1 Healthy: Activated (LED blinking) if it detects the relay is ready
www.fanox.com
Rest of the mechanics:
LED 1 Auxiliary power: Activated (LED blinking) if it detects the auxiliary voltage
More than one type of power can be used simultaneously, and more than one LED can be
activated as a result.
The operation of the LED indicators can be checked from the test menu.
To get the leds to be operative it is required the following current:
Single phase0.35xIn
Three phase0.17xIn
Once the relay detects these levels of current and the situation that generates the activation of
the leds, they are instantaneously activated.
www.fanox.com
7.6. LCD and keypad
The front of the SIA-C relay is fitted with an alphanumeric LCD screen, measuring 20x2. This
screen provides the user with access to read information about the settings parameters,
measurements, status and events. All of this information is arranged in a system of menus. In
some models this LCD is fitted with backlight.
A keypad is fitted to the relay front panel, which can be used to access the information shown
on the LCD screen and to navigate through the menu system.
This membrane keyboard has 6 keys that can be used to navigate through the different menus
and to change the setting parameters. The ▲ ▼ and ◄ ► keys can be used to navigate
through the different menus, the different options in each menu and the different values for the
settings parameters.
The “OK” key is used to access the menus and the different options, as well as to approve
changes to values. The “C” key is used to delete and to go back through the menu levels.
As well as the 6 keys, there is also a "Reset" key. When “Reset” is pressed, the bistable
magnetic indicators return to their initial position. The “Reset” key can also be used to delete all
of the events in the "Events" menu.
To get the backlight of the LCD it is required the following current:

Single phase0.35xIn, this is 0.35 amperes if the relay is /1
Three phase0.17xIn, this is 0.17 amperes if the relay is /1
Once the relay detects these levels of current the backlight is instantaneous once a key is
pressed. The backlight depends only on the level of current, so once this minimum current is
achieved the backlight is available instantaneously.
Once the backlight is ON, if no key is pressed the backlight will be operative 5 minutes.
7.7. SICom communications program

The SIcom program, which works with the Windows® 2000/XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8
operating systems is provided, and can be used to gain access to all of the equipment
information, to modify the settings and to save events using a graphic user interface.
The following operations can be carried out using the SIcom program:
 Status reading
 Measurement reading
 Reading and changing settings
 Reading and changing configuration
 Reading and deleting events
 Changing the user passwords
 Loading settings files
 Loading configuration files
 Date-time synchronisation
 Checking the versions of the equipment

8. MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL
This document describes the steps to follow to read and write data on the SIA-C relay, as per the
ModBUS/RTU protocol. This memory map is only valid for one piece of equipment and one version of
the memory. The positions of existing objects in the memory remain fixed from one version to the next,
but new objects will naturally have new addresses which will, in turn, remain fixed in future versions.
The memory map is described further on.
The standard ModBUS/RTU protocol is used, so any program or PC can communicate easily with the
equipment.
The SIA-C always acts as a slave, which means that it never initiates communications. The master is
always responsible for initiating communications.
Only a subset of the ModBUS/RTU functions is implemented:
 Reading function 3.
 Writing function 16.
The ModBUS/RTU protocol is independent from the hardware. Therefore, the physical layer can exist in
different hardware configurations: RS232, RS485, fibre optic or Ethernet.
Specifically, the relay has a front RS232 port and, as an option, a rear RS485 port. The data stream in
any of the configurations is “half-duplex”.
Each byte of data is transmitted asynchronously and is made up of: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and
1 parity bit, if this is how it is programmed. Therefore, the data has 10 or 11 bits, depending on whether
or not it includes parity.
The address and Baudrate (only in RS485 port) can be configured but the rest of the parameters are
fixed: without parity and with 1 stop bit.
The master must know the address of the slave that it is going to communicate with. No unit will act on
requests from the master if the message is not addressed to them. The exception is when the 0
address, or “broadcast” address, is used, in which case the relay will act but will not send an answer of
any type.
Communications are made in packages or frames, which are groups of data that are sent
asynchronously. The master transmits a frame to the slave, and the slave then replies with another
frame (except in the case of “broadcast” messages).
The end of the frame is marked by a dead time or silence time in the communication medium. The
length of this time of silence varies depending on the transmission speed, as it is equivalent to 3
characters.
The following table shows the generic package format that is valid for transmission and reception.
However, each function has its own peculiarities, as will be described further on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com Rev.26 171/188
8.1. ModBus package format
CUSTOMER 1 byte Each device on a communication bus must have a unique address, otherwise
ADDRESS two different units could reply simultaneously to the same request. All ports of
the relay will use this address which can be set a value between 1 and 247.
When the master transmits a frame with the slave address to 0 indicates a
Broadcast. All the slaves in the communications bus will carry out the
requested action, but no one will reply to the master. The Broadcast will only
be accepted to write, as it makes no sense to make a read request in the
Broadcast, as no one will reply this request.
FUNCTION 1 byte This is one of the function codes supported by the equipment. In this case,
CODE the only function codes supported are 3 to read and 16 to write. When the
slave has to reply with an exception one of these frames, it is indicated by
putting 1 in the most important bit of the correspondent function. Thus, an
exception for the function 3, will be indicated with a 83 as a function code;
and an exception for the function code 16 or 0x10 in hexadecimal, will be
indicated with an 0x90.
DATA N bytes This part consists of a variable number of bytes, depending on the function
code. It may include: addresses, data lengths, settings, commands or
exception codes sent by the user.
CRC 2 bytes Control code of two bytes. The ModBus/RTU includes a 16 bit CRC in each
frame, to detect errors. If the slave detects an erroneous frame, based on a
CRC that is not correct, it won’t take any action, nor will reply anything to the
master. The management of the CRC is LSB-MSB.
DEAD TIME Necessary A frame is terminated when nothing is received for a period of 3,5 bytes. It
time to means:
transmit 3,5
Bytes  15 ms at 2400 bps
 2 ms at 19200 bps
 ...etc.
8.2. Function codes

HEX
MODBUS
DEC DEFINITION COMMENT
NAME
CODE
0x03 Read Holding Reading of Any This function allows the master to read 1
Registers Value or more consecutive addresses of a relay.
3 The registers always are of 16 bits, with
the most important byte at first. The
maximum number of registers to be read
in a package is 60.
0x10 Preset Multiple Script This function allows writing one or more
Registers registers that represent one or more
16 settings. The registers are values of 2
bytes of length, transmitted with the most
important byte at first. The maximum
number of register to be written in a
package is 60.

8.3. Exemptions an error answers
The error codes defined by the ModBus protocol are as follows:
The slave does not support any function with the function

code received in this message.
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The master is trying to do an operation in a wrong address.
The slave has detected that the value sent by the master is

9. COMMISSIONING
9.1. Checklist for commissioning

The commissioning sheets that are needed to register the commissioning process and the specific
settings for each installed piece of equipment are found in the Appendix.
9.2. Inspection
It is important to pay attention to the following aspects during the installation.
9.3. Electrostatic discharge

Before handling any of the equipment electronic components, make sure that you have read the section
of the user manual related to electrostatic discharges.
9.4. Visual inspection

Make sure that the cabling has been installed as per the external connection diagrams.
9.5. Earthing
It is very important for the equipment to be earthed correctly. To check this, make sure that the
equipment earth connection, located on the reverse side of the relay, is correctly connected to the
facility local earth connection.
9.6. Current transformers

The high voltage that is generated in the secondary circuits of current transformers can cause death
and could damage the facility. Therefore, the secondary circuits of current transformers should never be
opened.
9.7. Auxiliary power

If an SIA-C relay with auxiliary power is required, this must be specified on the order reference. The
amount of auxiliary power required for the SIA-C relay should be checked.

9.8. RS232 Front communications port
To perform this test, connect a PC with the SICom software program to the SIA-C relay, and check that
there are no communication errors.
If a laptop computer is used, the connector will probably be a USB. It is important to check the assigned
communications port.
9.9. Commissioning
It is recommended that the following safety measures are taken before starting up the facility for the first
time, or after a trip event:
FANOX recommends the use of the KitCom accessory with a battery in the front port. This additional
energy source allows the relay to be monitored and the trip to function without the need for self power in
any breakdown situation.
Once all of the connections have been made, we recommend a check to make sure that they are
correct, safe and well attached.
The "complete test" menu procedure should be applied.  NOTE! See 5.11
It is important to check that the measurements are correct once the facility has been powered up.
Maintenance: FANOX recommends a minimum of one facility inspection per year, to at least go through
the test menu and check the values of the measurements.
